[Galaxy Note II General] mat9v:
I have 5.5 phones with both 720p (Note 2) and 1080p (Lenovo k900) and there is no real difference when viewing webpages. You can't comfortably view pages from less than 25 cm and human eye can't discern more than about 300ppi at that distance. Comparing SG3 to SG4 is seriously flawed because of damn Pentile matrix on GS3 that really destroys sharpness of text. I can agree that as we get up to 6.5 inches there will be a need for 1080p displays but for now, not really - nice to have but not a dealbreaker. We need to remember that higher resolution of displays require more power to drive (both from matrix itself and CPU/GPU combo) and while removable battery is not a problem (external battery pack or powerskin is good enough) I would worry about longevity of said enclosed battery and cost of replacement. Also there are excellent options like Zerolemon batteries that can make the phone last almost a week.

About plastic - for anyone that worry about costs of service - metal and solid design is a no no - try changing damaged backcover or sides - for Note2 it's like 45$ for both, care to guess how much is it for HTC One?
[Galaxy Note II General] xatlx:
I don't know if you are trolling. But may I ask, how the Xz Ultra on par with note 2? Only 100mah differential in battery life and outclass Samsung 1.5 ghz octa in most benchmark(it's one of Engadget review)

How does you know what the note 3 going to be like. Can you see the future?

Let me say this before you bring out the smaller battery. So you bring an backup battery with you around? I hoping you do.

Take this from a note 2 owner. There is really no such thing as a big battery. I have a note 2 with zerolemon battery and it wouldn't last me a day. I have to carry around 3 15000mah external battery with me to keep me running.

3000mah is a decent amount. Some who doesn't use their phone as much can last days with it. Some will use it up with in hrs. But nothing an external battery can't fix.
[Galaxy Note II General] baileyjr:
I think of the Z Ultra as a small tablet that can also make calls. Its looks much better in that light than comparing to traditional phones.

Im getting one... I'll put a powerjacket on one and as long as it lasts a day with that on I'll be happy.

Snapdragon 800 is more than enough to power that 1080p screen. The new nexus 7 runs just fine on a S4 pro (although some are claiming its an underclocked Snapdragon 600)

The non removable battery is less than ideal but I can live with that.

Battery depredation over time? May be a issue for some but personally I'll have a new device next year.

Basically I'll overlook its small shortcomings (which I can work around), for that 6.4" screen and top end processor.

I don't get why Sony can't license aptX.

It's a shame to have a premium phone with average Bluetooth audio listening experience.

Edit: I take it back. According to white pages Xperia Z Ultra does contain the aptX codec support!

Feel free to put me on ignore. In the meantime the mods approved that thread to avoid people like you creating multiple off - device threads.

Change of heart has nothing to do with it. Condensing the locality isn't squelching activity.
[Galaxy Note II General] mat9v:
I don't want to ignore you or anyone else, I just don't like self styled mods trying to tell anyone where to post, especially if they are "guilty" of the same offense. If the mod were to say that - thats their prerogative and I would comply. Why don't you report the situation to the mods and let them take care of it or do you aspire to the mod position?

I suggest you go ahead and put me on ignore. That way your feelings don't continue to get hurt.
[Galaxy Note II General] jetbruceli:
Man I just ran 3d mark on my note 2 running stock cm, and it scored 4k but then saw what the z ultra scored, ....

Over 16k!

So either the note 3 will score the same and plus it will have 13mp camera with 3 GB ram.

Would like the bigger screen 6.4 but still the note series is almost unbeatable!!
[Galaxy Note II General] baileyjr:
I'd go for the Note 3 if it had the same size screen as the Ultra. Unfortunately it doesn't. For a 6.4" device there no alternative but the ultra. Or the mega 6.3 but that doesn't have anywhere near the performance.
[Galaxy Note II General] madushan92:
I heard the device is having a very small battery, even smaller than current note II battery. Battery life on that device will be terible
[Galaxy Note II General] SenK9:
Not quite sure that 3000mAh vs 3100mAh classifies as 'very small battery'. Also do note that the S600 is built on a 28nm process, vs the Exynos 4412's 32nm (not to mention various Vt improvements - see http://www.globalfoundries.com/technology/32-28nm.aspx). There are too many different variables between the two phones to just say that battery size alone will dictate 'terrible' battery life.

Most likely the closest comparison one can draw at this stage is with another S600 device, also with a fHD display, the Galaxy S4 (which has a 'puny' 2600mAh battery), but still has been widely accepted as having admirable battery life.

It's probably best not to jump too many steps ahead and make sweeping assumptions and generalisations, even before the device is widespread. I know it's the Note 2 forum, but I like to think us Note 2 owners are objective :)
[Galaxy Note II General] xdapao3:
Having done the exact same comparison, I still disagree. We are talking about 5"/5.5" displays here, 720p already gives you a very high PPI. At this level of PPI what improves greatly the experience, to me, is ENLARGING the display, not increasing even more the already high PPI.

I don't know, you may have a much better vision than mine... I simply don't want to have to squint at tiny, ultra-HD displays, I much prefer good-sized HD ones, thank you.

All that said, 1080p displays are *very* welcome, they just are not my no. 1 priority given how good 720p ones already are.

Remember, all I am saying is that 1080p is WAY less important than a removable battery, not that it's not important...

So a "poweruser" who uses his Note II as a "pocket PC" and who PREFERS to keep his supposedly *MOBILE* device chained down to a wall socket or tethered to an external battery... Right...

NOT AT ALL. It's manufacturers which have to adapt to us, the customers.

They were able to follow crApple's lead on integrated batteries, scrap metal unibodies, no exapandable storage, everything glued/soldered etc because the average user is an ignorant moron who, for example, doesn't take advantage of removable batteries and separate battery chargers but still keeps on complaining about how little the battery lasts and fiddle with power saving (i.e. features crippling) settings, "stamina modes", external batteries, wall sockets, battery performance degradation etc......

You ARE limiting yourself if you buy useless integrated-battery POS and support manufacturers making these F-ing stupid choices...

This, I completely agree on. I just, and very sadly, don't see a valid "bigger-ass display" alternative to the Note III... There are a couple of worthless integrated-battery POS like the Xperia and there is the low specs Mega (the 1.5GB RAM is the deal-killer there, for me, or I would have already downgraded to a Mega 6.3) and that's it.

I do. I have gone from Symbian to Windows Mobile to Android and from Ericsson to Sony Ericsson, Panasonic, HTC, HP and Samsung. I have always used what at the time was the best for me on the market.

Today that is Android and the Samsung Note II and I see no other option on the horizon but, probably, the Note III...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qazmed:
Guys i had a custom recovery and rooted but i did triangle away and unrooted and flashed stock recovery

now i got ota back but it downloads correctly

Then when it comes to installation it goes to recovery and installs abt 26 % and stops saying error and showing an android laying down with red triangle out of its belly i did everything and tried 4 times ota

i think its a prob with my stock recovery when i boot into it it saysno command line error and shows me the android with red triangle again

what to do i 2ant to get the ota but not by flashing it thru odin
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HS™:
If it shows error you must use odin my friend and reset the device and try again any corrupted file will be modified.. And should solve your OTA issue
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qazmed:
Ya i will do that but one thing

i need u to confirm how to flash

1. I do a backup

2.in custom recovery factory reset and wipe cache and dalvik and format system

3. Go to download mode flash tar.md5 as pda in odin

with F.reset time and Auto reboot checked

4.thats it
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HS™:
Yes do a backup like apps mess call etc

No need to do any thing in custom recovery

Just put ur device into download mode

and flash the firmware u want using ODIN and once done flashing it let the device open and then from there Reset the device its recommn
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qazmed:
what do u mean by reset the device to its recomm
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HS™:
After u update to latest firmware using odin all the data remains in the phone only the firmware and its content is overwritten so u should do complete reset from the phone itself post the update from odin

which will delete all the data u had B4 update and give u error free experience
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qazmed:
So i do factory reset after update
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hom.hom:
TL;DR, is it possible and is any dev attempting to mod the PA Halo to Samsung Multi-Windows?

(This probably isn't a question which validates an own thread, but it is something I wanted to know really badly; I suppose this can be a thread in which these miscellaneous questions like this one can be asked)

As we all know recently PA has recently open sourced HALO, for which edits in the rom are made to the following to make it work:

(source, molesarecoming at this thread:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2273074)

Since multi-windows is the only TW feature which really keeps me on TW roms I was wondering whether it was possible to mod the work done by PA, to mimic the multi-windows feature on AOSP(A) roms?

Since I am not a developer I can't really do it myself, I can list what in my opinion needs to be changed to have it function as Multi-windows;

Conditions; HALO now continues to be in front of the app it has been called before (this is also possible without getting a notification from the concerning app by adding this app to the HALO via "HALO)))"(source:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.paranoid.halo)). The end behaviour from an app on the front now needs to be changed to some kind of added button. Right now it vanishes when you tap the app it is on top off.

Looks; the app in the background is being blacked out, this also needs to be removed. The size of the app being shown needs to become wider, full screen, by which it loses it 16:9 scale (Google may find this braking app compatibility, just as with cornerstone and CM)

I think these are the most obvious changes to be made to get Multi-Windows on AOSP(A)....

(Another idea maybe is to keep the HALO, the way it is, but made is resizesable and being able to move it around (the darkening of the other already running app still needs to be removed...))

I rooted, then unlocked the phone, then went installing the CWM contained in the "all in one tool" thing in the development forum for our device. Sadly, I cant seem to install any ROM, I always initially get some sort of getprop error? Any ideas?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Cuniek:
What version of CWM is installed ?

You need 6.0.3.1 to install custom roms.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] voon:
6.0.2.8 .... I before tried the thing from the CWM thread, with this warning of not working on V20 beta something, installed by an apk? That one was not bootable before and sort of rendered my phone dead, as it woul dnot boot into the installed LG ROM as well after I tried the install. I had to do an emergency reinstall of LGs own ROM with the LG Support Tool ... so I don't trust that CWM there ..... I'm not sure, which ones will work on my Euro P880.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Cuniek:
Use this:

Ok ... how? :) I'm only used to CWM installers, that do this scripted ... I'm not sure what to do with the image?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Cuniek:
Do u have any workable rom installed ?

You can download Rom Manager from play store and then download and install cwm 6.0.3.1. from rom manager
[LG Optimus 4X HD] voon:
Nope ... ROM is broken. I can't even put the original LG ROM on it ... the LG USB drivers seem not compatible with W8.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Cuniek:
Have you tried to run LG Support Tool as Administrator - it helped me to install original LG ROM
[LG Optimus 4X HD] voon:
Ok, managed to do it somehow ... it's installing by means of emergency install ... I hope it runs through :)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Flying_Bear:
they're compatible, but it's a hassle to make them work. you gotta reinstall your drivers every time you need to use S/W mode, and after you install, check device manager, some components are installed as unrecognized, you gotta update driver -> automatic search.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Cuniek:
After you unlock your bootloader how to install CWM 6.0.3.1

Download the tool ,,

http://d-h.st/HFR

extract the folder

open the folder

find file with name: O4X_CWM.img

rename it to something else e.g. O4X_CWM_old.img

Download new cwm (i gave you link before, but here is another:)

http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.1-p880.img

put recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.1-p880.img file in the same folder as your renamed file (O4X_CWM_old.img)

rename recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.1-p880.img to O4X_CWM.img

Right click on "[All-In-One][P880].bat" choose run as administrator

The tool will ask you if you have the drivers ,, install them if you don't have .

The tool will show you 8 options .

In your phone go to Settings/Developer Options/Check "USB Debugging" ,,

then connect phone .

choose CWM Recovery option.

wait for complete

disconnect phone

Turn off phone

Turn on phone with vol down pressed.

It should load cwm 6.0.3.1

It worked on my phone, good luck :)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] voon:
Whopeee ... operation successful! I can finally install the rom :) The touch feature of that CWM is reall yfantastic .. no more crazy volume button rocking. Thanks much!

To sum up what I did in short:

- Started with Euro 4.1.2 LG original ROM.

- Press Power/Vol Down to get into the tiny original blue Menu

- Chose install by ADB

- used the root package for 4.1.2 (small thing linked in here), just ran root.bat in a administrator cmd shell on windows --> rooted phone

- Unlocked phone using the cat & echo of the file named in here --> unlocked

- Used the all in one tool with the new CWM file to install the CWM

Now to check out those roms.... I hope one of them is sophisticated enough not to be a crazy battery eater and heat producer... :)

(man, these guessing games on which info on here is accurate every few months drives me completely crazy..... but in the end it's great)

Guyz I recently install jb v5 with phantom kernel. I had some problems with led,sound and battery.. I was charging the phone everyday..I install v4 but same any help?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MagicMagicD:
Hi,

First things first, don't panic! :)

I have the same setup as you and I'm currently @ 67% after 24 hours so it definitely isn't a problem with the ROM.

Did you follow the instructions from the first post?

Flash custom kernel Phantom[1.0.7]-Performance-CWMTouch

Boot to recovery and flash ST25i_6.2.A.1.100_unofficial.zip..

Full wipe recommended when flashing the first time.

Wipe caches when updating

Reboot to system

Wait for POWER OFF button when you did full wipe if not then just turn off

Flash latest Phantom kernel

Reboot to system

Everything should work now

For point 3/4 above, what did you wipe?

Also what ROM did you have on your phone previously?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] bkpaokfc:
Re

Let me tell you exacly.. I had a problem with the phone .. About led so i decide to change the version and use v4 .. But i recharge it full and i had it on my desk w/o using it for 3 days. The battery was at 40 % and i use it only 1 time for 1 call .. Nothing more...

I flash the kernel wth flashtool. Wipe everything.Install Jb wipe cache and then use the phone. Wait for power off buttom then open again..

I don't know what is the recovery mode btw.. I search it but i didn't find something usefull .I still don't know if i will use Jb Unofficial yet...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MagicMagicD:
I haven't tried v4 of that ROM but I can say for sure that the LED bar doesn't work very well on V5, at least nowhere near as well as DevSwift1's V3 ROM with the latest Phantom kernel.

It does seem to be quite good on battery though; I'm on 1 day, 12 hours uptime with 47% charge left, although I don't use it a whole lot to be fair -- mostly just for music during the day.

I guess you must have used a recovery to flash the ROM zip file... as in CWM (ClockWorkMod)? The Phantom kernel comes with one installed; 1.0.7 has CWM Touch whereas 1.1.0 (the latest version) has a non-Touch version.

The only thing I can suggest is that you try reflashing it again; I'll tell you exactly what I did...

Using Flashtool, put Phantom kernel 1.0.7 on the device and then go into CWM Touch by restarting the phone and repeatedly pressing the Volume Down button when you see the LED bar light up.

Once there do a wipe of data and cache and then go in to the advanced menu and wipe Dalvik cache too.

Next go back to the main CWM menu and flash the zip, then reboot and wait for the phone to start up (should take a while).

Once it has settled down restart it and let it start up again (should take less time)

Finally, use Flashtool to put the latest version of the Phantom kernel on, restart and you're done.

With all that said, I expect I'll be going back to V3 of DevSwift1's JB ROM this weekend as although it's not quite as smooth as pipi14's ROM, the LED bar does work a lot better and for me that is quite important.

Good luck, keep us informed how you got on.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] bkpaokfc:

Thanks a lot for the informations mate. You help me a lot . But i'm the only one who have this problem with led and battery?

What Jb version you suggest me to use? (link )

What kernel you suggest me to use ? (link)

Any other good apps who will help me ?

Again Thanks a lot . :)

Btw what is "recovery flash" . I read at pipi's site flash in recovery. What exactly is this?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MagicMagicD:
I've personally tried two Jelly Bean roms:

DevSwift1's V3 ROM (it's now up to V4 which is based on an Xperia Go firmware and has lower-res graphics and some other issues compared to V3, which was ported from the Xperia P).

link

pipi14's V5 ROM (which you have tried and are currently using.)

link

As for kernels I've only used the one that came included with DevSwift1's V3 ROM and Phantom kernel's from v1.0.7 upwards. I know that a number of people have used the Experimental v8 kernel with success on JB but it looks to be more complicated than Phantom.

Experimental v8 kernel

Phantom kernel

From my own experience I will say that I think pipi14's V5 ROM is smoother but I can't get the LED bar working how I want and although it still had a few issues on DevSwift1's V3 ROM it was definitely better.

As far as apps go, it seems the fewer apps the better if you want to stick with JB on your Xperia U -- it doesn't have enough memory and the more apps you have running the worse it will be. Task killers will not help and will probably end up draining your battery more than they help.

A custom recovery is basically a low-level program that you can use to flash new kernels, ROM's and other things on to your phone. ClockWorkMod (CWM) is the most common but others are available. You must have used a recovery to flash JB to your phone before, and if you have a Phantom kernel it comes bundled with one. To get in to recovery mode you need to restart your phone and then press the Volume Down button when you see the boot logo (e.g. Phantom).
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] bkpaokfc:

That's the reason why sony will not send the updates to official JB version .

I will not use Jb now . If they fix it about the bugs i will use . Thanks for the info mate :)

Btw i use something custom like tera check this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2141726&highlight=tera

Unsafe Volume Xposed mod

disable the safe media volume check​

I wrote a tiny Xposed module, which disables the annoying safe media volume popup/check, present in many Jellybean devices. It works by simply setting the config_safe_media_volume_enabled system parameter to false at boot time. Because it uses the Xposed framework, it is device and rom independent :)

Installation

Install the awesome Xposed framework on your rooted device.

Install and activate the mod, which you can download from my Bintray site.

You can find the sources at my Github repository. This software is released under the GNU GPLv3.

Cheers!
[Xposed Framework Modules] omniphil:
Does it matter if we are deodexed or odexed? I just got a new phone and I am running the stock samsung 4.2.2 rom, but it is rooted.
[Xposed Framework Modules] stammler:
Short Answer: It works for all roms, odexed and deodexed :)

Long Answer: This question is actually a question whether the Xposed framework works with (de)odexed roms. The first post in the Xposed framework thread says

under the section Advantages in the beginning. And as such does any Xposed mod work with any (de)odexed rom.
[Xposed Framework Modules] DaMyth:
will this stop your device from also stopping the media and turning the volume half way down???
[Xposed Framework Modules] stammler:
No. Technically, this mod doesn't do anything but setting the system parameter config_safe_media_volume_enabled to false, no other tweaks. It should be possible to write a mod, or extend this one, so that the system doesn't stop the current media from playing when something is plugged in to the earphone jack. Anybody knows how to do this?

But there's an App in the Play store with which you can configure the volume levels that will be set when you (un)plug a cable: Hearing Saver
[Xposed Framework Modules] shadeMe:
Thanks for releasing this mod :good: I'm however having trouble getting it to function on ICS 4.0.4 - The 'Safe Volume Level' toast pops up even when the mod's enabled.
