Moving to an iPhone is NUTS! (or at least ill-advised!)

OMG! I have been with Apple since before the first macs! I have had every model iPhone up until the 4s which I just retired. I have seen Apple move further and further away from what made them great and iOS7 was the last straw! Say good bye to CHOICE! They will tell YOU what your operating system will look like! (But not ME!)

The damn phones are useless without a jailbreak anyway and they are getting harder and harder and further apart with every new system. AND just like with their computers, they come out with new systems mainly to offer all the third party and Jail-break functions that everyone has been using for months, while disabling those functions from said sources!

I have had my Galaxy s4 for 3 days and I already am quite sure I will never go back! I can always use the iPhone with wifi off my Galaxy in order to use any apps I may miss- but frankly I don't foresee missing any. So far all the replacements have functioned better than I am used to with the iPhone. I think you don't know what you've got OR what you're getting into! Good luck!

I suspect we will see a hackers list of device codes out soon. And that will enable us to raise the volume on local juke boxes and all kinds of fun stuff! :p

The codes to the DISH remote at my local bar are already within sight! Yee-haw!

Hi,

With the latest versions of Gmail and Google Calendar I have the problem that both do not resize correctly anymore. That is I cannot see the bottom line of buttons unless I flip my phone to landscape orientation.

Does anyone have the same problem?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flapcon:
no, do you have the same problems with the new updates?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gerope:
Yes still.

This is an example of Google Calendar:
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gerope:
Yes, I finally managed to resolve the problem by using resolution change / Density to reduce the DPI resolution from 120 (default) to 100. This caused everything to become a bit smaller and now I can see the complete interface again.

At the same time I increased the font size to large to counteract the effect.

I just updated my firmware to XXUBMEA, as well as loaded the Slim Rome

factory reset then loaded all my apps back on.

Problem is there are no widgets (my app widgets missing (( stock widget OK) ,

pretty bizarre!

, so I did as any ordinary person would do is reload the XXUBMEA official ROM from the same thread, factory reset, and format wipe cache. No change, I'm faced with no widgets any ideas? before I go back to ZHUAME3 or XXUAME2

Thanks in advance,

I appreciate the time in reading this.

i unlocked my bootloader just to be able to flash the carbon rom on my xt925.

i downloaded the rom from various site(including goo.im)

but when i flash it i cant get it to work.

when i flash it and boot into carbon rom i just get a black screen.

i wipe the cache of the partition i am flashing the rom.

i am flashing via twrp by the way.

anybody got any idea of what i could do?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tzlot:
Have you try Format system?

Factory reset, wipe cache/dalvic, format system, flash rom, flash gapps, then reboot... let it sit for a good few minutes just in case it's tkaing a long time to get through first boot.

I'm about to try carbon myself so curious to see how it goes for you... currently using PAC but it's incorrectly reporting my RAM as 675mb.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jjmunky:
This process should work for you and this is the ROM you should probably use. Official support w/ nightlies :D (Also it runs like a dream.)

Definitely just backup what you want to keep and factory reset, wipe all that stuff, and you should be fine

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
You need to unlock your bootloader, since it's showing relocked. Once you've done that, you can flash a ROM. In addition, since you're S-on, you will need to flash the ROM kernel separately from the ROM, so do as suggested above and install a ROM with an S-on kernel installer, or you'll have to fastboot flash the kernel for the ROM to boot.

Thanks...I should have waited to save $30. But it has been fun playing with it for a month so time is money. :)
[Nook HD, HD+ General] JeauxAdam:
I saw this and started to poke around this forum. Seems like it's a pretty decent little tablet. I'd ask how you folks feel about it but since you're already owners the opinion may be a little biased. :)

Seems like too good of a deal to pass up!
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Pond Scum:
Hmmm... Maybe now my wife can have the iPad. :p
[Nook HD, HD+ General] burbs:
My wife decided to get the HD+ 32GB for me as an early Father's Day present. She was worried that they'd fly off the store shelves at that price.

The tablet updates twice after initial install to get to the latest version. Google Play is an awesome addition, however a lot of the really popular apps already have Nook versions. So if you install the version from the Play store, you'll see two version in the apps menu.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] sequoia464:

Great deal on these.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Static_fx:
Just got one Saturday also.. too good of a deal to pass up. enjoying it for the most part so far... i like that google play come with it now.

my only real issue is trying to rearrange items on the screen is terrible! You cant tell when its ready move (like with iPhone/iPad.. they wiggle.. this.. nothing) and its hard to line them up . i have other questions, but will start a new thread :)
[Nook HD, HD+ General] quarlow:
Just heard about this promo. I was going to get a Kindle Paperwhite for Father's day. But, for $10 more (I didn't want to deal with the ads, or hacking it at all, so I was going to get the $139 version) the Nook HD+ seems like a much better value.

I have a HP TouchPad, don't use it as much as I did when I first got it. I have my phone for apps and web browsing. I was going to replace an aging 1st gen Nook I got at a yard sale for $10. My main use is as an eReader. I wasn't looking forward to converting all my epubs to the Kindle format. With Google Play access I don't really even see a need to Root and CM the tablet, but I would need to use the device to make that decision.

Those that have one already, how are they for eReading? I was looking forward to better battery life on the Kindle, because the Nook I have needs to be charged at least once a week whether I use it that week or not. I can put up with that battery life on a tablet that can browse the web, watch videos etc, but as an eReader that has been a pain.

But, for $149, worst case is the kids no longer have to fight over the TouchPad.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] View92612:
That's the best part of this tablet. I feel B&N intentionally downgraded the capabilities of the hardware to make it more a reader and less a tablet.

If you only use it for reading you may be able to tolerate the stock rom. (Though you may get 30%-40% boost on some web browsing with CM10.1) For book reading you can check this review at 7:14 or so (try the HD version of the video--more accurate)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtTvNsgJR4I

I use it mainly for reading and web but tried online streaming videos for few minutes(on CM10.1) and they seem to work fine.

Battery life is also very good (was told the deep sleep is a strong feature in stock rom, the feature was later implemented in the CM builds)

I really love the nice screen for reading books and tech manuals. Mobi and epub books work the best. PDF books are good but could be better...
[Nook HD, HD+ General] btodoroff:
Been looking for a tablet to use to transition from iOS development to Android development, so I snapped one up Sunday when I saw the deal. Liked it enough that I picked up another for my daughter today. Will leave her's stock, but mine is running CM10.1 and works great.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] zonlicht:
Thoughts on Nook HD+ after owning it for 8 hours.

Screen: 9.5/10. 8.9" IPS Panel with 1920x1280 Resolution. Gorgeous screen. Sensitivity does not seem to the best. 10/10

Performance: 7/10. Solid enough with OMAP 4470. Feels lightly sluggish in operation, possibly due to the amount of pixels that needs to be pushed. Someone comment? We all know that OMAP 4430/4460 can push out CM 10.1 flawlessly in many devices. Is it our pixel count or the lack of optimization the builds?

Build/Design: 8/10. Plasticity but refined.

OS: 6/10. CM 10.1 for this device is mature enough, but lacks polish. Stock OS lags to high noon. Might need another few months to work out more kinks.

Value: 9.5/10 at $150. I bought this tablet for the screen and was satisfied.

kindly help i am a novice in world of android.

[HTC Desire X] DeXeS:
Yes you can. But first, have you done a factory reset already? Jelly bean should not be buggy and slow..

to get back to ICS, unlock bootloader, flash a jelly bean recovery and install a ICS ROM. Because you now have Jelly Bean Hboot, you also need a jb hboot compatible rom.

[HTC Desire X] DeXeS:
In the ROM section there are also stock ROM's. But indeed what Sushant is saying, first try a factory reset. If it doesn't fix the problem, (and you did not unlock the bootloader yet), bring it to the service center for repair. If you did not unlock your bootloader yet, went back to ICS and the problem still exist, you can't go to the services center anymore because you violated parts of the warranty.

Does it matter whether we are odexed or deodexed?

Thanks!

Edit: Well I know it works on deodexed. Flashed the mod and returned to standard. Nice work. And I like the page indicator at the bottom of the page.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] fgr:
Good catch, forgot to mention that... This is deodexed. I'm not sure what would happen if you try this with an odexed rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] urrgevo:
It would probably get flukey or simply not work. If you want to try this on an odexed rom, first download any other launcher from the play store and switch to it, then use root explorer or equivalent to delete SecLauncher3.apk and SecLauncher3.odex from system/app. Boot into recovery, flash, reboot, switch to your new touchwiz launcher, uninstall nova or whatever you used and enjoy. This should work.

Im fairly certain that landscape is part of the launcher unless your using an app to force it.

@OP, thank you for this, hope it works on my uscellular variant but I think it should

Update: it works beautifully :). Ill let the others at tuscc know

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] fgr:
Glad it's working for you. No issues with any widgets that you know of? Let me know if you find anything weird.

If anyone does want to try it with and odexed rom, you can use the method above, or if you're familiar with adb, you can delete the existing SecLauncher3.apk and SecLauncher3.odex while in recovery.

Be sure the system directory is mounted then from a command prompt type:

adb shell

rm /system/app/SecLauncher3.apk

rm /system/app/SecLauncher3.odex

exit

Now flash the zip. If it doesn't work, restore your nandroid. You did make a nandroid backup, didn't you? ;)

Any way to get the page indicators back in their original position with this mod?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] fgr:
Edit: Found out how to move the bottom row of icons down (they are called hotseat in the dimens.xml file). Don't have time to get anything together right now, but probably tomorrow.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

They can be put anywhere on the screen. The problem is that they get covered up by icons if I put them anywhere else.

It looked pretty ugly...

I would actually prefer them above the static launcher icons at the bottom. If I could figure out how to move them down, I would put the page indicators back above them.

Anybody know which apk handles the "primary" (as Samsung calls them) application shortcuts? I didn't see anything that looked relevant in the SecLauncher3.apk. That doesn't mean it isn't in there though...

On the apps and widgets screens, there really isn't anyplace else to put them.

Ok, here is the SecLauncher3.apk file. Note that it IS NOT flashable, so either:

From recovery:

Mount System

adb push SecLauncher3.apk /system/app

reboot

Or using Root Explorer (or equivalent):

Copy file to /system/app

Change permissions to match what the other files are in that folder.

reboot.

Also, you said this stopped working after the MG1 upgrade. How did you actually upgrade? If you have somehow gone to being de-odexed, that could be your problem.

Ok, I'll get to it.

The languages have always been a problem, I'll download a I9505 rom and try making it from that. I think the other languages will be there then.

I don't know if I can remove the apps text or not. The bottom icons are easy, it's a true/false setting in one of the files. I don't remember seeing it for the other home screen icons, but I haven't looked either. I'll see if I can find it.
