[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] BEingNiCK:
i don't think so , battery apps may improve battery backup but at least not in my case

i tried battery guru, dr battery , juice defender all are same

i always have wifi on even when at home/out , connected/not

usual my battery drains 2% per/hr ( idle mode) its normal for me cause when i sleep i give some task to phone like downloading movie , uploading data

i also keep teamviewer always on so my sis can interact with device ( thats seems stupid but we both are app dev's & need to test same app on diff sets/versions )

but when using battery apps battery drains faster then usual , its like 4-5% per/hour

today i used phone for nearly 4 hour calling , 1 hour game play , 1 hour video playback & now its idle for last few hour

when i was using battery apps battery should be dead till now

Never Do It For Free - JOkER
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] techmine:
I am sure this topic has been beaten to death already but I still wanted to share my experience with custom ROMs and finally going back to the STOCK ROM. If beginners want to try out Custom ROMs, may be they can read this beginner's post.

First the ritual - Android community is great. ROM developers are great minds at work! Thanks for doing all the hard work and showing me whats in the Custom ROM world.

I started out with simple rooting of my phone to get tethering (cheap on my part but I think I pay more than what my carrier offers). After rooting, custom ROM was just so tempting. So I tried a few - CM, AOKP, Carbon. Honestly, out of all, CM10.0 was the most stable for me. Things I loved:

1. Battery Life - Can't say enough. There is so much junk that runs in background on STOCK ROMs.

2. 4.2.2 JB - Better than 4.1.2 but then, not by miles.

3. Ability to flash ROMs over the weekends :) You know it.

4. Utilities like Titanium backup and others that needed Root access.

5. Tether - super like.

Things I hated:

1. Force closures - OMG I couldn't understand how the STOCK ROMs are so robust or Is it that the Apps are tested on Stock ROMs very well that they don't crash. Countless failures for Instagram, Email, Camera, BT etc.

2. Camera functionality - I give 10 out of 10 to Samsung in creating great camera app. I am a heavy smartphone camera user. The 4.2.2 camera app was so laggy on my GS3. The user interface sucked (circle). No meter mode. Bad panorama mode, HDR mode and worst low light photos.

3. On one of the custom ROMs, I had horrible issues with making and receiving phone calls (Yes it can go that bad).

4. Bluetooth pairing with devices. BT crashed a lot while music was interrupted with incoming calls.

All in all, I am now happy that I am back to the STOCK ROM with This Link Many thanks to the Member.

There is a lot of excitement and good things about the Custom ROMs but if you are like me who is not a super power user, there is a lot to consider before jumping.

Happy Monday!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
In CM 10.1, the FC issues were fixed for me. This applies for most current AOSP roms. I have not had any issues with camera lag either. I will admit that the stock camera is more robust with options but there are third party apps that help minimize the feeling of loss.

Regarding testing, this is what goes on here. The difference is you see the testing phases while you do not with the manufacturer. In addition, many of the drivers and hardware info is proprietary so developing drivers that are stable can be a hit and miss affair.

On the same note, not every phone and user is the same and the experience will be different for each. ROMs will possibly work differently across the same models of phone due to minor variations in quality which are nearly impossible to catch during the manufacturing process due to nearly microscopic differences.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] techmine:
Totally agree with the slight variations in experiences with Custom ROMs. But for some reason, my jump to 10.1 was not smooth with FCs and I quickly made a u-turn to 10.0 and then ultimately to the STOCK ROM. Camera Apps like Camera Zoom are very good and they do provide more options like Metering and time lapse (missing in STOCK), they are still not complete (simple example - I can't enable Panorama from CamerZoom). Nevertheless, the experience can be really amazing when things work out but really frustrating when they don't. STOCK has its problems like I am missing my Solid Battery life today :crying:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] newmind02:
I think I'm about to go back to stock as well. While I love all the extra features that custom roms offer, all the tinkering and occasional bugginess can take away from the overall experience. At least for me, anyways.

I also had been doing it long enough that I felt really comfortable with all the flashing that I was doing, but would still make the occasional mistake (look at the hilarity I posted in the stupid questions thread today). I'm thinking I'll play it safe, at least for now, before I do something I regret.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
It is in my opinion that even the stock roms have bugs. At seemingly random times, my alarm clocks on my AT&T S3 just didn't work when running stock. I was almost late for work 3 days in a row because of it (my alarm is set to repeat 5 times a week every week at the exact same time. I never turn it off). In addition, I get the occasional random battery drop that seems to have something to do with the switch between H+ and LTE when on a phone call.

I stuck with the stock rom for a while but now that AOSP roms are stable, I have switched. Whatever bugs are present do not affect me or they are so minor I work around it. It really comes down to what you find to be acceptable for you.

As far as being comfortable and making mistakes, I have done it as well. Being a flashing fiend has made me overconfident a few times and I botched several installs. Luckily I have been so busy of late, that my flashing desire has been on hold.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jayRokk:
Never had any force closes.

Never had any lag

Never had any problems on custom Roms.

If you're experiencing and lag, force closes, you're MORE than likely doing something wrong on your end.

This phone doesn't lag. It should lag whatsoever. 1.5Ghz and 2Gs of ram does not create lag.

Touchwiz runs a LOT more stuff in the background.

Just follow instructions on how to flash, what to flash, and what to tweak. And I can guarantee you an awesome experience.

The camera as well. Just took some amazing lightning shots with 4.2.2 camera, on burst mode with 20 pictures taken in less then 3 seconds. No lag what's so ever.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] n_alvarez2007:
I tend to go back and forth between CM10.1 and Stock.

The biggest thing CM misses for me is the camera. Call me a fanboy but I really like what Samsung did to their camera optimizations in TW.

That being said, I don't like TW very much but a custom launcher and a few minor tweaks can make TW tolerable.

For apps running in the background I highly recommend Greenify for keeping apps dormant when you're not using them.

Titanium Backup also has a feature called Freeze that basically does the same thing as Greenify except it takes the app and prevents it from being used at all.

This is good for apps that you never use that come preloaded on the GS3 (AT&T and Samsung bloatware).
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcmartin0313:
I am sure this has been asked, but I have not found a good answer. Is there an easy way to change the black background to wallpaper on the HD 8.9 with 8.4.3?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] narse:
Seems to be that Amazon changed the framework in all versions after 8.3.1. You can either do what I have done and reverted to this version and disabled the over the air updates. This method requires that you have root and 2nd boot loader and TWRP and then use an image from Hashcode.

Or read this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2295750&page=8

where stunts513 has written a script that changes the framework to allow it again.

Both of these methods will require you to have root. As far as I can tell there is no other way to re-enable the wallpaper.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcmartin0313:
Thanks

I was afraid of that. I am debating about adding the 2nd bootloader. Is it a fairly "safe" operation?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] narse:
Safe if you following the instructions in the following thread exactly (and make sure that you thank Hashcode for his hard work).

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2128175

The main thing you want to get right before you start is make sure you have all the windows drivers installed so that it can see your kindle when it is booted up and when it is in fastboot mode. I UMed and ARed before I started and asked a few questions in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2329471

Then when you are happy that you are ready follow the instructions in the first thread. Please make sure that you do follow step 1 and backup the 4 img files from your device as you will need these to restore your machine back to it's current state if something goes wrong.

Good Luck.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] g420funk:
I'm having a heck of a time with the internal storage on my S4. What I have done so far: Rooted -> Flashed with Xousos v1.0 (no problem) -> Backup to SD card with CWM -> Flashed with Xousos v2.0 -> Flashed Theme Reverepats ICS (MF9) -> Flashed ComaDose = No Space

I moved all my apps to my SD card and even deleted dropbox and all documents sync to free up space. Before I do a rom flash I clear data/cache/davilik cache and format system. I know the S4's 16GB is really an 8GB - but to only have a few hundred megs left after a fresh flash and TiBackup restore of a handful of apps is not right.

I figure I must have copies of the previous installs somewhere on the internal storage, I just dont know where to look. So if anyone could point me in the right direction as to what directories I can delete or any steps to help free up some space, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance

Check the "MISC" folder and check to see what are the folders that take up the most space. I have a feeling you are going to have a nandroid on there that is taking up about 3-4gbs
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] GiantJay:
Wipe system/and factory reset then flash ROM will fix it. Make sure the ROM and everything else you need is on your external SD first.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] jj14:
^^^^ that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] g420funk:
I apologize for the dumb question in advance, but do you know the location of that folder?

I went to storage/emulated/0 in root explorer and the file structure looks the same as the phone folder explorer but no large files - screen shot attached (largest file first)

This will be my last resort, I just did the wipe/flash and would like to try and solution the problem before I do the wipe
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] oscarthegrouch:
Get disk usage app and poke around the filesystem. It will graphically show you what folders are storing large amounts of data. It will be a lot faster using that tool with finding large files than going through each folder with a file browser app.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] jj14:
In the storage screen (from your original post, where it showed the breakdown), just tap on miscellaneous and it should show you the folders that make up that 7.52GB
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] g420funk:
Thanks, this is a handy little app, especially with root access.

I attached a screen shot - it looks like the system data folder is dominating the space - is it possible there is still an old rom on there or possible a backup (like was mentioned earlier) and if so, how do I get to it?

That was my last screen shot - when I tap miscellaneous the biggest folder in there is 3.69 MB - which is why I am so confused
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] oscarthegrouch:
I'd probably just make a nandroid backup, move any files from internal to external that I wanted to keep, turn off phone, remove SD card, boot phone back up, go into SD card in menu settings, format the card then go into accounts and do a full factory reset. I would think that would get rid of any unknown bloat from the internal storage. Yes you'll have to set the phone up again but it might fix your running out of space problem. A nandroid restore might throw the crap back in there. I don't know.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] g420funk:

that makes a lot of sense because mine did the same and the update notification wouldnt go away until I flashed the update. I guess next time I need to format the internal sd before I flash

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] BeyondtheTech:
Read the article again:

Translated via Altavista:

Why so sad? It says it is already functional on PDAPhone Qtek 9090. Functional means it works, Qtek 9090 means it's a Blue Angel-specific ROM. Now, we'll just wait and see which carrier or which manufacturer will push it out and the rest of us will get it one way or another. If i-mate won't release it, we can still rest our hopes on other GSM versions from O2, T-Mobile, Qtek, Orange, Siemens, or Vodafone and just adapt it for our own.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] vbguru613:
G-d Bless the XDA developers!!!! its so funny that all forums are hopeful for the upgrade from XDA rather then there carriers.

You guys Rule!!!!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] BeyondtheTech:
People say it'll be a matter of months (development + testing + deployment). I'm thinking more on the lines of several weeks. As I said before, you have to consider the fact that they had to have been testing this on established hardware, such as the Qtek 9090 or the Dell Axim x50v. Theoretically, you can't develop software for a developmental hardware device and expect it to be an upgrade for current hardware, as there may be discovered issues that can't be reversed. The simple fact that it was demonstrated on the Qtek 9090 shows basic functionality. It is likely that they had to test their Phone Edition features as well. Whether or not all the extraneous CAB files on the Extended ROM will work is what will take the long haul. MMS? Caller ID? GPRS and Wi-Fi customizations? Album, Bluetooth, etc... You know how hairy it is already with the pre-WM5 ROMs we're playing with now!

However, I don't think we'll be seeing it on the official channels as of yet. Think of the marketing perspective of the hardware developer. If you announce features of a new software upgrade, it is a possibility that it could affect the sales of their future hardware in development. For example, if HTC strongly supported WM5 for all their current hardware, what are the chances that people who were looking toward the HTC Universal simply pick up an older, cheaper generation device from eBay and slap on a cheap WM5 upgrade?

Bottom line? I think it will be leaked, and mamaich will open the floodgates for every other Blue Angel device owner. :wink:

P.S. From the last post, it's glad to know there's another fellow Jew on this board.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] whtrbt7:
aha so this is where you HoFoers are lurking :lol: . MEDC had a demo HTC Universal with Windows Mobile 5.x on it. It didn't have any working demos of the Blue Angel or Himalaya. The Himalaya however was the first reference design to be integrated (it's so simple so less work). Dopod hasn't made efforts to upgrade their devices yet but for some reason, they have certain upgrades available depending on certain individuals.

I'm glad that MS decided to have the new APIs and integrated programming tools built into the new visual studio as well as the WM5.x OS. This simplifies things a LOT. I'm hoping to start using the new APIs soon.

Regarding XDA-Developers and WM5.x upgrades, kudos to the people that make this possible on here. We have cooked ROMs that outperform carrier ROMs. I have to say that I prefer our cooked ROMs opposed to Carrier ROMs. Those that are hoping for carrier upgrades, it IS possible, you just need to get more people willing to pay for the upgrade to provide incentive to carriers to do an upgrade.

Yes, the device for the demonstration was a Qtek 9090 (Blue Angel) with a WM 5.0 ROM.

There were also a MDA IV (Universal) and a Qtek C500 under WM 5.0

The BA was much slower than the MDA IV.

It was rather painful because threr was a latency between the moment you tapped the screen and the time when the action was carried out. That wa not the case of the Universal who was very fast.
