So initially I didn't like that case (Rearth Slim). But after switching between 6-7 cases I'm using it as my primary case. Imo, it feels the best in the hand. However, I had to use a blade to shave the manufacturing mold lines down. Before I did that the edges of the case were terrible. After that the feeling improved dramatically.

Also gives best corner and front protection of any slim case I've seen.

So short answer... yes, good decision.

Lol good, thanks. When i was looking for cases, i never really found anything that i really liked, hopefully i like this one :D, its coming on thursday so we'll see
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Hung0702:
Just got my Meifeng (the new black one :eyeroll: ). I wish I had gotten to see it before purchasing.

Differences

Size

Calipers show that the Meifeng is 0.07(±<0.02) mm thinner than the Palette (its semiporous texture is slightly squishy so it varies ~0.02 mm), so the thickness is pretty much identical.

Texture

The Palette is quite slick, but not glossy. It's more like satin than lacquer. The Meifeng is weirdly rough. It's like a soft sandpaper. It's not really a preference, as it would be easy to acclimate to either.

Cutouts

I always thought the Palette cut-outs were too small, but that might have been a conscious decision. The small bridge on the top face of the volume buttons is very thin.

Prospective Durability

Both look very durable, and you would probably break the screen before you broke the case. That being said, they aren't meant for rough usage. As I mentioned about the cutouts, the volume cutout bridge appears more likely to break on the Meifeng.

Other

The Palette is far easier to fit and remove. I hate using a case, and only use my Palette when I'm out and about (I also have a Poetic Slim Book for business) and I'm constantly switching between encased and caseless. I'll put the Meifeng in a drawer and leave it in case my Palette breaks.

EDIT: After a few days with the Meifeng, I honestly do like it more than the Palette. The Poetic case is great, don't get me wrong, but I really liked the larger cutouts of the Meifeng, as well as the rougher texture.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] sLiKK:
Just got N4 couple weeks ago and im leaning towards this ^ case. My only concerns are:

1. Is the upper right corner bare and the case is cut from there or is it just to show the layer of the case.

2. How flexible and fall resistant the the see through glass on the back is? Does it attract alot of dust?

Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] zephiK:
It's to show the layer. If you look through xda or even searching the case you'll find pictures and videos of what it looks like.

The back isn't glass it's just plastic. No it doesn't attract dust but does attract fingerprints.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] teraih:
Its covered don't worry. The materiel is pretty flexible, because its just plastic. Its ok with the dust, but attracts finger prints and it scratches easy.

Just flashed CM10.1, went to storage, still only have 9gb of storage. Did i need to format "/system" too?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] mg2195:
No...I've said it countless times in numerous threads

FOR MORE USABLE STORAGE SPACE WE NEED A NEW PARTITION LAYOUT

basically, debloating doesn't increase space. All the crap bloat is put into the system partition...whether or nit you have the bloat the system partition stays the same unless a dev includes a new partition layout in his Rom...which from my understanding requires kernel/ramdisk edits as well as actual scripts included in the zip to repartition the device

-hope that helps your understanding on why you still only have 9gb available :)

I admit it! I cheated on you CM! There - it's out! Did it for weeks. Flashed and flashed all sorts of Sense custom ROMs and thought 'I'll never go back to CM!'. But, as always, I return to the master - will you forgive me?

However i need to know if you can offer this cos i can't quite tell from the current crop of CM related ROMs over whether this is available or not:

- HTC logo to access menu - I think this is in some of the custom CM ROMs maybe?? I just can't do with that horrible three dot menu thing - erkkkkk! - can this be removed in the current CM ROMs??

-Is there a downloadable custom kernel??

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
The errors you are running into relate to the version of Java you are trying to install. Since JRE 6 and JDK 6 have long not been included in the main package repository you are getting an error saying that they can't be found, as a result you will need to install them from a different source. I would recommend taking a look at this guide on setting up the proper version of Java for your build environment (Even though the guide is for Ubuntu it should still work on Mint). Additionally you never want to use Icedtea version of Java for building Android and it is recommend to use the official Oracle/Sun JDK 6 and JRE 6 for building Android.

If you navigate to your home directory using the built in file manager the .bashrc and/or the .profile will be hidden by default by pressing ctrl + h should show all the hidden files in the home directory. The .bashrc is typically used in this step since not all versions of mint come with .bashrc you can create using the following command:

touch ~/.bashrc

Then you can input the command into the .bashrc file.
[Asus Transformer TF700] D3vildog:
Hey guys,

So i'm trying to install a custom recovery on my TF700 I got yesterday. I have already rooted it and have installed the android SDK(tools only+some extras i installed). I got some USB drivers for my tablet (i got from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1706588) and installed them all manually via pnputil -i -a drivers*.inf.

So my problem is that adb is not responding to most commands. The only ones I can get it to do anything are

-adb help

and

-adb version

i've tried redownloading the program/s several times to no avail, and messing with the adb daemon/service. Any other command I run will just sit there with a flashing underscore __ forever. (I am running Windows 7 64 bit)

I've used fastboot to try and flash CWM to the tablet but it gets stuck on [waiting for device]. I have made sure USB debugging is on and that the security option for installing apps is turned off.

This is really bugging me because I can't figure out the problem. I haven't been on the forums for a while, so I forgot my login and had to re-register.

My main goal is just to get a custom recovery on there so I can flash a rom. I tried the google play app that let's you do that, (starts with goo) and it didn't work after trying it many times. My tablet is 100% working right now and rooted.

Any suggestion that anyone could throw out there would be greatly appreciated and I thank you in advance.

EDIT: i'm on android 4.1.1 stock on the unlocked wifi only version
[Asus Transformer TF700] elfaure:
I haven't experienced it yet, but adb can supposedly very difficult to get working on W7-64. Many have to edit config files to make it happen. Its far from cut and dry. If at all possible, making it work on XP is cake by comparison. I didn't even have to install drivers that I recall. If you have access to someones XP machine I suggest you use it to install the SDK platform tools (is all you need) and get adb working to flash your recovery then from there your ROM. But if you'll be stuck with W7-64 then you can follow these links and get it done but it may be painful, frustrating, and take you awhile to figure out.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyc1120:
I'm on my phone so I can't give you the links but it s very easy to Google them.

1) go to the HTC developer website to download the android sdk and follow the steps from the website to unlock the bootloader. Please note that you need to add ./ in front of all commands in osx. So, for example, you would input ./fastboot instead of fastboot.

2) download any recovery for the HTC one and flash it using ./fastboot flash recovery whateverrecovery.img

3) Download and put the superuser.zip in your phone. Flash it using the recovery to get root.

Good luck!

Windows Media Player doesn't support AVI and Mpeg formats on Pocket Pc devices.

To play mpeg formats you need PocketTv or others programs.

To play AVI files you need a BetaPlayer or Simply install Album Program from XDA2.

Also,You can't play Mp3's as ringtone because you need to convert first them to Wav files or Midi..To convert use any Wav-Mp3 Converter on i-net.

Good Luck!
