Notice the n7 doesn't have a IR blaster. Is there any way to control my tv/directv? Was thinking there may be a ir blaster that plugs in the micro usb at the bottom or maybe some other way. Tried searching google but couldn't find anything, any of you guys controlling your tv with your new toy?

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] flux capacitor:
I use the LG TV 2011 app on my GS3 and new N7. The LG 3DTV I have has a bunch of smart apps like Netflix, VUDU etc, plus its a good replacement for the magic wand remote. In fact I prefer using the app over that remote, though I was surprised it uses Wifi vs Bluetooth. I find the BT smoother to operate.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] brockkk:
do you have any problems turning on your tv with the lg 2011 remote? i don't get my n7 til the 1st, but my galaxy s3 can't turn the tv on for whatever reason.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irex102:
I used to have a huawei ascend p1 phone with gapps preinstalled (good phone). People first complain about its build quality but it that plastic they used on it can withstand many drops without even scratching the phone. I sort of found the gapps annoying because the first time I set it up, it asked me for my physical location and a google account and asked me to store home wifi passwords, contacts, etc in google servers and all that those data stuff google wants from people. I know I can back up my own things so I don't need google to do all these things for me, I tried to disable as much of these features as I could and it was okay for a while until my phone got stolen at a sports center and couldn't find it back despite having installed tracking apps on it.

So I got a new phone, the nexus 4 because it had a booloader that was easy to unlock. I decided to start fresh without all those data sucking features and remove the stock firmware to flash cyanogenmod on it. It was my first time using cyanogenmomd and I gotta say it's wayyy better than the stock firmware in terms of useful features. I really liked it because of all the customizations it offered. As a replacement for google play I installed 1mobile, and fdroid/slideme they worked wonderfully without a google account (I never had one). When I started to install apps from these markets, some apps would work and some would not and some wouldn't even install. I used adb logcat to figure out what was wrong with them and it showed that they required some permissions from the gapps package mainly "com.google.android.maps.xml" and few others. I decided to just copy this file over to the permissions folder on my device and the apps that wouldn't install before installed but most of them would crash easily. Subway sufer was one of my favourite games but it wouldn't work without gapps along with other apps. I figured I had to install gapps and all the data sucking questions and features poped up after I rebooted my phone prior to the installation so I set it up just like previously did on the huawei ascend p1. I noticed that 1modile wouldn't work as smoothly as it did anymore because the searches don't return the official apps. It's like something's been changed in its search algorithm because it when I search for subway surfers it used to return the official game as #1 result but after gapps it dosn't show at all, it just shows tricks, cheats and other apps for the game. The same things goes with other apps I tried to find from it.

To sum everything up, my question would be something like "Is there a way to have all those dependencies apps rely inside cyanogenmod without gapps?".

I know well enough that it's possible to recover files from a broken screen device, but here's the catch: My friend encrypted the drive as well!

Does anyone know if you can decrypt the drive from ADB or anything? I do have the encryption passcode, just curious if it can be done. Otherwise I'm not going to bother trying. Thanks for quick responses!

T-BLOX is a perfect game for those who like classical brain teasers with figures tetromino!

Choose how to position the blocks on the game field to earn the maximum score for the smartest placement of figures. No need to hurry! You will always have enough time to decide the position of figure before you arrange it, and an opportunity to cancel the last step of the game. Make continuous horizontal or vertical line, and, as the completed line explodes, vacating the place for new ones, it will bring you additional score!

Try taking as many points as it is possible and break the record.

You can send your result to the global Hi-Scores tables (Scoreloop).

Choose one of the two game modes: Classic – with tetromino figures, and Hard – with pentomino figures!

T-Blox – the perfect choice for you to spend time!

Good luck!

T-BLOX can be downloaded from the Google play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.goodroidru.tbx

P.S. Any feedback welcome!

Hi folks from XDA:

This will be a rom to improve in every aspect, battery and performance, graphics not so much because it is low-end, and in my opinion it is best battery/performance.

So far I've used (or rather, my girlfriend has used it), and says it has better performance than the first Gingerbread (Stock and Latte rom).You test the performance and tell me we can do, we remove or put, and will do according to the performance test for me, I will continue with the next update.

CyanogenSpeed Project​

Features:

Requirements:

Steps prior to installation for both cases, with and without sdmerge:

installation if you want to use sdmerge:

Steps to follow if you do not want to use sdmerge:

1.- Enter to recovery mode, flash the rom.

2.- Install minigapps

3.- Restart to start the system. [I recommend Please turn once again to restart the system to repair any problem.]

Thanks to:

Changelog:

v1:

Initial release

Next update:

Change bootanimation

Change gallery app for quickpic (I like more speed)

Change music player for?? ...

New launcer, I still not decided which to choose.

An apology for adding the file browser, delete the next update and can choose what they wish.

It's my first rom, I hope you can help me also as add launcher (if not damage the performance), and more features, in my opinion has good performance, I think I get to 4342 in AnTuTu, I do not remember very well.

Even if I add is pending or not launcher, soon I'll be changing icons and other things to remove cm9 image and give it a more personal touch.

Dude do i need to have ICS on my mobile or i can flash this from gingerbread also?

P.S: I am using Latte rom with SDMerge.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] diego88it:
If you Latte with sdmerge, go into recovery, wipe data and cache, flash this rom, lightgapps and step4 of sdmerge
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] nikufellow:
Yes but follow instructions in OP

Edit :exactly what diego said :)
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] brchina:
Can I install this rom without sdmerge? If yes, is it usual : wipe, rom, gapps and reboot? thanks

Edit: I'm using andwie's latte rev2 without sdmerge. Do I have to install sdmerg first and then this rom?
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] mrazz_:
you can install without sdmerge and you only need to do fullwipe and flash rom and GAPPS :)
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] brchina:
It says here: "Important, you must use the step4 I put down and that fixes several bugs. " So I'm a little confused. I'll have bugs withour sdmerge or what? It ain't very clear.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] mrazz_:
step 4 is only for the use sdmerge friend, read carefully again .. if you want to use sdmerge, you live to see how to install the above...

sorry :( if you are still confused with my explanation, because I just want to help :good:
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] imgianni:
An apology to everyone for leave pending comments, but I work all day (I'm a automotive mechanic). If you do not want to use sdmerge just have to install the rom and gapps, the step4 is for sdmerge.

EDIT:

Updated the main post, I hope to clarify doubts, and I hope this well explained, because I'm using google translator, and translate what you want, as some English if some bad words do their best to make the sentence make sense.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] brchina:
Thanks man, no problem. I noticed english isn't your mother tongue so I just wanted to make things right you know :) Thanks once again. I will try out your ROM and report bugs and give suggestions, since I really want a ROM whose main property is speed.

I am not having luck with this rom. I flashed it ovet latte rev2 without sdmerge. Phone froze a lot of times, when trying to log in into google play it freezes. I had to pull the battery out. I reflashed 4 times but everytime it's still the same. I guess it ain't working without sdmerge. Any ideas? I'm on v10G
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] Aggror:
yeah..try with SDMerge..:)
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] Deleted member 4833930:
i don't know if you already know this or not, but before flashing with sd merge, try activating all types of autorotation.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] brchina:
Ok thanks. I'll try without sdmerge. Maybe that's why it's lagging.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] imgianni:
Links are the creator, but, right now upload to mediafire.

Let my girlfriend come to my house this weekend and see if there is a problem with the installation without sdmerge.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] imgianni:
Expect soon the next update, which implementare certain things, provided better performance. I can not work fast because the e400 is my girlfriend and come only on weekends at my house, and it is also when I have time to test.

[ROM][L3/e400][CM9] CyanogenSpeed [Project][30/07/13

we dont know yet if its the installation of no sdmerge is causing the phone to freeze.. so dont install the sdmerge yet.. ateast try enabling auto rotation with all degrees and see what happens..

just asking.. why dont you like sdmerge? it gives the benefit of having a big internal memory and can install apps upto 1.1GB. you can even transfer them to your internal to free some space of the 1.1GB.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] brchina:
I'll try it right away. I don't like it because some roms don't support sdmerge, and perhaps in the future if we get more roms, maybe they won't be compatible with sdmerge. I'll have to flash through KDZ then or whatever but I'm not very experienced in that so I don't wonna mess up. "If it ain't broken, don't fix it." :P
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] brchina:
I tried with auto rotate but it was lagging even more. It froze on setup wizard while trying to fill a pw for wifi. I guess it's meant for sdmerge.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] :
For me, i don't use the rom if it's not sdmerge supported. I'm just not contented with the limited memory. :)
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] rajeshroopa:
Just install the original germall step4 after installing the rom that's it..... :)

Running this Rom for the past few hours..!

Lags at few places !

Process system gets stopped when launching apps like FB, messenger etc.

In terms of Ram management, its very good ! Almost constantly 60+ mb is always free in-spite of mild multitasking

Suggestions for your next build :

Kindly make sure the lags are minimized to an extent ! Previously i was running jellycast v5.. Though it was little heavy build compared to this rom, still it was flying :) After a lot of days came back to stock CM9 feel and look. Sure to retain this rom for a few days :)

Few applications Force close. Dont know why !

Otherwise, its perfect for a daily driver :)

Waiting for your next build :D

There's an option of forcing the 2d GPU rendering in developer options. I don't really know what it does . Should I check the box?

Does it make apps run smoother or consumes more battery? ???

I have read conflicting reports regarding battery life. Some say it helps, some say it hurts.

I think it hurts bl because the gpu can be quite power hungry, depending on the device. In my personal experience it seems to have hurt my battery life more than it has helped.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DakuGaranto:
Earlier today, my galaxy s4 kept on freezing at the homepage every time i boot up the phone. I wanted to backup all my things from my internal storage and do a factory reset to see if it help to solve the freezing but I release i can't transfer file from my internal sd card when the phone is off. Anyone know how i can access it while the phone sd card while it is off and also why my galaxy s4 keep on freezing whenever i boot up the phone after a few seconds

EDITED: Solve the problem above, now using custom rom Omega v9.

Now I have problem of not able to boot into the recovery using the home,vol up and power buttons, my screen first display the splash screen with the blue text *booting recovery* on the top left but after a few seconds it disappear and flashed back the normal splash screen which eventually boot up my phone normally. Any solutions?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HS™:
I dont think if u have device off u can operate as it needs power to transfer data thought i m not expert i will follow other senior opinions also

And for Freezing there must be some app or some system file creating the issue for you

U can try flashing a Stock firmware using Odin which will keep all ur data as its and ocne it boots up take all the data backup and reset the device for error free experince

Note aftr flashing Stock firmware u ll loose root u need to root again u can use CF root method for the same

Galaxy Nexus 7 2012 - unlocked and rooted

CWM Touch Recovery

JDX 15.0 (JB4.3)

nova launcher

no widgets

yesterday i threw Jake's newest JDX on the nexus (clean install). today i charged it up to full. unplugged it and brought it to work. opened it up for the first time 2hrs after unplug and noticed i was already down 5%... normally, i can stay at 100% for several hours before i actually start using it. i can usually do whatever i want on the nexus and the battery is still around 70% by the time i get home in the morning. 8 hours after unplugging im already down to 52%. i could actually watch the % go down while i was reading. no media has been accessed since the install. mediaserver was using 89% of my battery when i first looked. after putting .nomedia files every applicable and then rebooting, its down to 38%. but to be honest this is a silly fix for a problem that shouldn't occur. unless i can figure out what's going on and fix it, im going to attempt to do a clean wipe and start from scratch.

i'd appreciate any assistance.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koziakauzu:
I don't have this issue anymore since I removed my sdcard. Media server was using at least 29% even when I wasn't listening to music, now it is below 6% when idled.

Still it sucks as solution but acceptable as long as I have enough internal storage.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SuperSmashedBro:
Restarting your phone should fix it. Also, if that doesn't work, just reflash the ROM and that'll surely work
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GhostWolfXIII:
I did end up reflashing the ROM, but before I did that I added the .nomedia files where I could, so I will never know what was doing it. So far so good though, sitting at 2%. Thanks for the quick replies.

anyone can explain how apps move to sd card works on application manager? I actually moved all the apps from device storage to sd card and it does free up space from the device manager, but I don't see the moved apps located on my external sd-card, where did it go?

if so what did it move? simply only the APK file? or data was included?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HS™:
It only moved apk not the data , data remains in the internal storage only

However if u are rooted u can use the foldermount app that can move the data also to Sd card

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] p()()pypants:
all I've been able to find are aosp, aokp CM based roms...

while I understand the customizability of CM is superb and the vanilla Google platform is great... I've grown accustomed to many touchwiz based features since having both vibrant and now gs3 and want all my gs3/touchwiz motion and swiping goodies to work correctly n would like a good gs4 ported Rom based off of 4.2.2 if one exists.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] marcoxx626:
There aren't any 4.2.2 Touchwiz roms that I know of for our device.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Nope.

You can buy an S4.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] p()()pypants:
thanks captain obvious. lol

I wonder what the limitation is with bringing an s4 Rom over to the s3?

in any case.... what then are some of your favorite 4.2.2 CM builds out there folks?

also, are there any aokp/aosp rooms with similar dialers and contacts features available on touchwiz like Swype -> to call <- to text contacts etc? any cm bulls keep gs3 specific motion features like calling contacts displayed on screen just by putting phone to the ear etc?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] marcoxx626:
If you want touchwiz features then flash a touchwiz rom. The op of every aosp rom will tell you that.

On another note, my favorite aosp rom is liquid smooth, the latest version gives me amazing battery (over 4 hours screen on time). My favorite TW rom is S3Rx. Has tons of customization and also great battery life.

Edit: the aosp MMS apk has the ear to dial feature you want though. You have to turn that on in the settings.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
As far as I know, only one country has got 4.2.2 on the international s3. Itll be a while before we see much for 4.2.2 tw. There's no s4 ports for the same reasons there's no international s3 ports I'm sure. The hardware difference makes porting difficult, and most who can do it will probably be working on things that are more unique. There's probably little that distinguishes 4.1.2 tw from 4.2.2 tw. That's my best guess anyway.

Closest you'll likely find for now is Universe S4.

oh... I've last question is about flashing cm based roms... the "wipe" is no different from the other roms right? it will leave my sd partition with pictures and personal downloads alone right?

Or will it try to reformat and repartition everything meaning I need to completely back up all onboard memory to the computer?

Its the same but you should always back up your important files, better safe than sorry

OP im in the same boat as you.

i like the cheesey TW features. i like the swipe to capture screen, telling my camera to take a picture, and esp. the sbeam touching the back of the phones.

i know NFC works with others but you cant send big files. TW and sbeam transfers huge files no problems.

Thats the only reason why i havnt changed
