I would like to add a suggestion, an alternative to grooveIP called talkatone. It is free with ads but has premium features and ad removal for a fee. I have used it for a while now with good results. I have been in Cairo Egypt since last Friday and used talkatone to call and text everyone via wifi in the US and its been great. I have never tried grooveIP but will look into it to see if it might be better. Use it on my vzw s3. I already lowered my family share plan minutes since I use the most minutes anyway and still have unlimited data.

This is very cool! I will have a couple phones coming off contract soon.. would be a good re-purposing.
[Repurposing Old Devices] SDBolts:
Checking this out with my old HTC Thunderbolt. We get crappy reception from every carrier where we live (all of under a mile from a tower no less... damn hills...) so it would be cool to get my old phone working for home use only...
[Repurposing Old Devices] Tomsgt:
Yeah It is pretty cool I have a old gnex that I use for a home phone
[Repurposing Old Devices] SDBolts:
Set it all up - works really well - thanks for the info!

Glad you like it.
[Repurposing Old Devices] caifan:
Doesn't work for me.

1. I created a new Gmail account on spare phone (RAZR M). Only thing working on it is Wi-Fi.

2. I download Google Voice from Market. I open up Google Voice and sign in using new Gmail account. I click NEXT to setup Voice and I get the "We have a problem. Your phone number could not be verified. Please try again." I though when you login to Voice, it creates a phone number for you? I get stuck on that error message.

What am I doing wrong?
[Repurposing Old Devices] Tomsgt:
Go to google voice on on your computer and set it up then try again on the phone it will work.
[Repurposing Old Devices] caifan:
On computer I can't get a new Google phone # unless I identify a "real" one that it will forward to.

Hi

I've flashed several times pure jb. rom on my hox, (4.2.2) It works very well, but i came allways back to sense, because of camera. The 4.2.2 camera don't works wery well, the panorama, 16:9 ratio, and so on.

Das anybody know such a solution, put sense camera into 4.2.2 rom?

Thanks
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
No not possible afaik, because of the difference in the sense framework !

Thanks!

Wich rom du you use?

[EVO Shift 4G General] lvpre:
Anyone have recent experiences with either? Obviously, I am on sprint, but was thinking of making the switch. It would probably save me around 60 a month from sprint since I have two lines...and thats even with my discount with Sprint. Basically, I just want to know about service and coverage in general. Was there a difference in signal between the two in your everyday activities? I still want a slider phone and you can get a cheap and clean mytouch 4g slide for around 150. I want to stay with the slider and the upfront cost of the phone and savings with tmobile would pay for itself in 5 or 6 months. Plus i do not think a decent slider will be released anytime soon. Thoughts? Thanks in advance
[EVO Shift 4G General] zerofighter1:
I convinced my girlfriend to switch to TMobile from at&t. She gets decent downlink speeds on their hspa+ (about 12mbps in certain areas) and her coverage is pretty good. Sprint sucks in my opinion, having been on their network in the past and having reports from my brother (also on sprint). I would switch, especially if it will save you money and you don't have an etf.
[EVO Shift 4G General] thronnos:
The photon Q really wasn't a bad phone. It just never took off

HTC ONE! Everything your phone isn't!
[EVO Shift 4G General] strapped365:
I love T-Mobile. In my area they blow sprint completely out of the water. Fastest download speeds ive had werr around 15-16 mbps wherr with sprint in the same places od get 300kbps...only thing i dont like about T-Mobile is the truly unlimited plan is 70 per month.

Also if you get the My touch MAKE sure its the HTC one. If not your throwing money away.
[EVO Shift 4G General] BigSplit:
I have no experience with T-mobile but I absolutely hate sprint speeds and plan to jump ship as soon as my contract is up.
[EVO Shift 4G General] jsapp:
T-Mobile is good if your in an area with decent coverage. But they are areas coverage isn't good. Where I live it is great. Even in smaller rural towns. Seemed to be similar in Arizona and California. Went to Michigan and it was horrible in Lansing. All depends on your area.
[EVO Shift 4G General] lvpre:
Yeah...that's what I've been reading. Do you think the htc 4g slide is still a decent phone? I know they are still pretty active with the development of it. But it is almost two years old. But it is a hard deal to pass up for 150. I think the newest tmo slider is the Samsung relay, but the support for it is small.

Yeah, sprint service is hit or miss by the day and the data is really slow. Coverage really hasn't been an issue with sprint as it has been great, but the data speed varies tremendously.
[EVO Shift 4G General] strapped365:
Well its def better than the off brand myTouch lol.

But in all seriousness they have tons of ports most of them have broken features. And that's not taking a shot at the Team SwArM because I am still with them just haven't devved in a while.

Battery life on the newer JB ROMs will suck some juice at a rate of up to 2% per few minutes of screen on time etc. And with every release of Android it will be like that (aosp).

Sliders are dying man, the relay was a fail...does it even have a dedicated forum topic yet?

LIDROID 14 TOGGLES FOR THE LATEST STOCK ROM
​

Disclaimer:

I will not be held responsible if you brick your ROM, nor will I held responsible if your phone is permanently dead for reasons of your own stupidity. Even though my small contributions to XDA-Developers are harmless, they may turn evil and attack your phone. Crying, pain, beatings and even death may be caused by this. I may be able to correct what you have done to your phone but successful recovery or data recovery is not guaranteed. SO PLEASE DO A NANDROID BACKUP

REQUIREMENTS

- Latest stock ROM (The one before latest works too)

- A Nandroid backup (I cannot stress how important this is)

- Root access (May work without)

- ClockWorkMod​

COMPATIBILITY

]CooperVe:

- GT-S5830i

- GT-S5830c

- GT-S5830m

FEATURES

- Rearrange the toggles

- Ability to disable unwanted toggles

- The brightness and sound toggles can be customized

- 'Reboot into download mode' doesn't work on S5830i, it just does a normal reboot​

.

CREDITS

Lidroid - @ THIS THREAD- For source

lohanbarth - For flashlight bug fix. (Working on)​

INSTRUCTIONS

it won't work on mc1

still you can give it a try...and report here if it works..

before trying make sure u take backup !!
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] DamnTarget:
Yes! Of course! But be sure to make a nandroid backup before flashing ;)

Yes it will :)

Did you use the file for odex roms or deodex? I want to help correct this issue.

I used odex file everything was same only the usb notification was gone.

hey thanx...works great on stock odex rom...... is it make my stock odex rom into deodex
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] DamnTarget:
No it only deodexes your systemui.apk (which control the statusbar and various other things.) So it's nothing to worry about. (But be sure to make a nandroid backup just in case something happens ;)

I'm happy it works for you but I could have some details on your ROM that would be great!
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] cal2011:
Ive searched for ages on net and cant find xxmb2 uk anywhere. Sammobile has heaps xxmb2 but none for uk. They list uk's latest rom as xxmc1

Where can i find it ??

I downloaded xxmb2 italy and tried many ways flashing wiping data and davlik before and afer flashing and deleting odex file and reflashing and nothing works on odex rom

Should it work on all xxmb2 stock roms?
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] Misscodi:
I tried it too and it's not working, not installing on stock odex xxmb2.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] DamnTarget:
Yes, I'm pretty sure it will work all the fairly recent stock ROMS.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] DamnTarget:
Hmm, Try to download the DEODEX Version and manually delete SystemUI.odex (Be sure to make a backup)
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] Misscodi:
I didn't try the deodex one but I couldn't install the odex one. I tried to flash via cwm and tried to manually replace files.

Thanks i got it working. Using deodex version deleting odex file didnt work me but i was flashing in clockworkmod.

I ended up flashing fresh stock rom xxmb2 with odin then just apply update with stock recovery and flash odex file and it works. No root needed or cwm. It works on xxmc1 too

Thanks heaps . Its cool. I was using custom rom with wifi tether toggle and i use it alot, is it hard to add it ?
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] DamnTarget:
Thanks for your feedback! I'm working on getting some hard mods (that require smali editing) on our phone on the form of a flashable ZIP for odexed and deodexed ROMS. :)

Okay, can you please tell me your ROM version? You can achieve this by typing in *#1234# into the keypad.

Try these methods and tell me if it does or doesn't work:

1) Wipe cache and Dalvik Cache

2)Re-flash using the stock android E3 recovery

3)Flash the DEODEX version and manually delete 'SystemUI.odex' in 'System/app'

4)Take battery out and put it back in

5)Flash the latest stock ROM via odin and try again

I'm trying to put it on a Galaxy Y Pro odexed (firmware VJMF1).

I tried to put with the ODEX file but has no change.

So I tried to flash the DEODEX zip and erase SystemUI.odex manually, but with this the status bar disappear.

OK, I restored with Nandroid backup, but has any way to do that on my device?

Thank you!

It is wonderful!!! So many thanks! :D

Can that occur because the system resolution? If so, it will be great have a ldpi version...

If not, how to fix it?

thanks
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] DamnTarget:
I'm assuming you're using a Galaxy Y? If so I will post a flashable ZIP for both Odexed and Deodexed ROMS in you forum.

[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] rdrgg:
Here is the SystemUI.apk I take in Nadroid files.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3702330/SystemUI.apk

P.S.:It's the SystemUI of a Galaxy Y pro duos, but I believe that unique diferences are the additional dual sim support. in my case, it's OK to loose dual sim support.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] rdrgg:
Do you need odex file of the SystemUI too?

Hi, try to install it via stock Android recovery. If it doesn't work try one of these steps:
