Thread closed as "Best" rom for one user is not necessarily the "Best" for another.

Users are encouraged to read and determine what is best for them by reading the knowledge shared via posting.

These threads always spiral into arguments about one rom over another, and thus, trolling ensues.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kzibart:
I regularly use the mic icon on my keyboard to invoke Google's speech recognition in place of typing. But when bluetooth is connected, it doesn't work at all on my HTC One. I know it can still hear me because in Google Now I can say "Google" and the mic pops up. But it doesn't seem to recognize that I'm saying anything after that. And when I press the mic button on the keyboard in any other app, it does the same thing, just sitting there as if I'm not saying anything.

Prior to buying the One, I was running CyanogenMod 7 on an HTC EVO 4G and it worked fine (speech recognition by pressing the mic on the keyboard worked over bluetooth). I'd be willing to replace the stock ROM if a custom ROM fixes this issue. But the closest I've come to finding any other references to this problem through all of my previous searches seemed to imply that this is a Jellybean issue, not something specific to any ROM.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kzibart:
I did some more searching and found a number of people complaining about this bug showing up on Samsung devices when they got JB updates. It only affects the phone when paired using Media Audio, and there are a few "fixes" that I've heard of so far:

After activating voice to text, adjust the volume and it will then initialize.

Turn on "touch sounds", and voice to text will initialize immediately when invoked.

Turn off Media Audio pairing, which of course means you can't stream media over bluetooth. But if you only use it to make calls, it's an option.

So, given these fixes, it seems obvious that this is a bug and not an intended change from ICS to JB. I'm still hoping someone out there has a better fix than the three above, but I have yet to find it.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sprocket87:
Yeah, I've got this same bug on my One (rooted; stock T-mo ROM). The volume change trick sounds do-able, I'll try that when I'm paired to my car stereo today and see if it works.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sprocket87:
UPDATE: Volume trick worked. It's certainly not a permanent fix but it's better than nothing.

Hi.I need to use an a2sd script to use for custom hboot. the only scripts that I can use is cronmod int2ext- int2ext4- int2ext+ and int2ext4+ . but unfortunately all of them have a problem. with int2ext and int2ext4 I have a really slow mounting sd card.(for example use them with VJ slim rom and you see even some strange problems like not showing the Quick settings panel! and with using int2ext+ and int2ext4+ I have an annoying problem. with them I can't use all of the sd-ext storage to install my apps and games. for example I have a 2 gb sd-ext partition.and maximum size that I can use is about 500-600 mb and after that rom(s) slows down and give me not enough space error! and with some other scripts like mounts2sd after rom booting for the first time, all of processes (like core,system ui,...) force close and rom never boot up properly! I think it's because I use a custom hboot! is there anyway to solve this problem? I saw an script in michealm_007 roms with the name of a2ext+ . what is the difference? can anyone make a flashable zip of this script to use with other roms? because his roms size is about 350-400 mb and with my current internet connection (as if it can be called internet) I can't download and use his roms! sorry for my long write!

Sabermod by [MENTION=2394329]sparksco[/MENTION] is amazing. Close to stock with just the right amount of tweaks. No useless features or mods. I like minimal Roms, im not a big fan of sacrificing performance and stability for useless features. Its compiled with linaro toolchain so its very fast, and battery life is amazing as well ( i get 5.5 hours screen on time, and 2 days of moderate to heavy use. Just idling the phone will last 5 days). Comes bundled with a really good kernel as well. Give it a try.

For the biggest gain in batterylife you could try flashing a custom kernel and possibly underclock or undervolt it, this also decreases heating. The radio is responsible for mobile connections.

If I go to the "sound" tab, I see "Ringtone" and one more "notification sound" but NOTHING about SMS.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
My idle cpu usage seems a little high and sporadic and I'd like to force them all to 0% when idle but still be able to receive background data like for instance my play store seems to use a continuous idle usage and a few others. I can freeze them with the System Tuner but I'd prefer to Globally force all apps to 0% usage so I'm getting say 1% usage at idle on occasion every hour or few hours? When I use System Monitor, I see my cpu usage kind of jumping from 0 to up to 35-40% while idling and I don't want these apps using any resources at idle. I'm trying to extend battery life a lot more.

My battery life is really good already since I have a 3600mah battery but I could get even better if I can dial in the usage at idle.

Is there application that can do that?

How exactly did you unroot? Are you sure it worked? Do you have the stock recovery or cwm or twrp? If your on stock recovery then try this:

Update superuser and update the binary after its done. then Download ez-unlock to lock the bootloader(im assuming your still rooted). Next download supersu, uninstall superuser and follow the directions to full unroot in supersu's settings.

Or just save/back up all your stuff to a pc or sd card and flash a stock factory image in odin that takes care of everything

That is the exact reason why I was thinking to do it actually. This device has always been fun because has got updates first but this time google pretty much screwed us by not pushing the update and postponing it in november. So basically until then we have no advantage over any other high end devices. And it is scary how fast this phone's value is depreciating.

I don't see how Google "screwed us" but okay..

4.3 was obviously not ready so they postponed it. I'd rather wait for a rockin stable release than a buggy one.

$280 is only $70 less for a 6 month old phone and that's a pretty darn good resale value if you ask me.

The Nexus still beats other high end phones because of it's price, the lack of crapware / bloatware and the lack of carrier branding.. As an added bonus you get an unmolested version of Android from the 1st boot!

Hi, im a little intrigued by this.. i've seen some reviews comparing those 2 phones and it looks like the screen on the note 1 has a larger area than the note 2...

i know the note 2 is 5,5 inch while the original note is 5,3 inch.. but that doesn't mean that its area is larger, that is just the diagonal measure.

so the note 2 is just a few milimiters taller than the note 1, but the note 1 is a few milimiters wider... so, as you know, this thing is a rectangle and the side of the screen is larger than the top, so i'm thinking that if you calculate the area of this screens, the note 1 should hava a larger area (not by much) than the note 2.

rectangle A is

height=15 cms

width=7 cms

area= 105

Rectangle B is:

height=16 cms
