Choices

I have been a user of Flow Reader for some time and was really sad when it stopped working and that the dev stated that there was no longer going to be updates to continue after the demise of Google Reader.

That said, I totally agree that it should be continued into the post-Google Reader era of RSS news. I originally created a post on Reddit in which I stated that for the continuality of Flow one idea would be to open source the code on a git site to allow others to progress his work further.

Understandably this poses the risk of Flow Reader loosing it's (work)Flow. All that time and effort the dev put in to creating a stunning, and above all easily functional, UIX could well be lost. On the other hand the simplicity of this RSS reader coupled with its parallel article downloading feature would live on and enrich many an Android RSS fans.

So here I am on XDA, stating my opinions for the two options presented.

For the Closed Sourced Approach:

The idea of sharing the workload will mean that whoever is chosen to work on Flow Reader will most likely have a great deal of knowledge to input in to this project. It also means that the UIX will not change without considerable thought first. This I applaud.

The fact that the developer says that the proceeds of the app will be divvied up indicates to a paid app, further indicating to (hopefully) a group of developers with the incentive to push great work "out the door".

For the Open Sourced Approach:

The hands of many a developer could make this app into something even better than it already is....

...or it could ruin it with out the guidance of the one who had the vision in the beginning.

Usually in the open source community when there is a bug and/or a missing feature, if someone with the appropriate know how can fix it, it shall be done.

A question, then, to WildMoves. Would those who have donated need to pay again once it arrives back on the play store? That is if you are going to make it a paid for only app?

Either way, with the way that Flow Reader handles feeds I honestly have never, and believe never shall, discover one better. To which I would like to say that no matter which direction the dev goes, I will support and give as much feedback as I can.

Again, great work mate and keep on coding,

Skinna a.k.a Skinnx86
[Android General] WildMoves:
Yes, when I posted my answer I was still trying to develop the next iteration of Flow Reader. I built a prototype to test several ideas before I came to the realization that I couldn't build the full app the way I wanted to in a feasible amount of time and still... well... live. :\ So I am now receptive to offset most of the workload to a developer or group of developers (hence the 25/75 profit split).

I have the email addresses of everyone who donated, so I could probably create a mailing list to deliver full versions of the (paid) app outside the Play Store. Assuming that I would have the approval from the other developers, it would be a good sign of gratitude to those who donated, IMO. :)
[Android General] Skinna:
Reasonable Thoughts

Well a man has to live. To spend your free time developing and building something you would expect some payback of some sort. But thank you for remembering us early adaptors. I know I for one will be thankful, I can but imagine others will be too.

As much as I was appreciative of the beta's being sent to us, but in case you did not hear, Facebook updated some peoples app out side of the play store. Now Google have banned out-of-market beta testing. I believe that sending an apk to install initially will work and should update through the play store correctly.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Boriiboss:
Hey Guys, I'd Like to ask a question , very weird going on about my device... Only one time I got that Lovely Icon (exclamation mark) with a phone sign followed by a computer, yes that means that i am in download mode, i fixed it but once i got passed that small error my phone has been acting up.. I've tried CM10 keeps restarting by itself once in a while, I had tried going COMPLETELY going to stuck by using a Youtube video on how to unbrick it... NO luck. This time it freezes up and all applications become unresponsive, Facebook FORCECLOSE and other apps& and restarts, once is in the home screen i hold the power button and i only get one option "POWER OFF" its very weird because I remeber there was "DATA IS SET "ON" ETC, other settings in the phone had been re-enabled for ex. haptic feedback vibration. i had that turned off and it came back on by itself, second setting is the lock screen i cant set up a lock setting because once i press the unlock button and wait about 5 seconds it would go directly to the home screen W/O asking to enter to any patter. I tried gingerbread 2.3.6, with this rom all apps are UNAVAILABLE.. YES they dont open up.. EVEN facebok.. I took out the battery, turned it back on, and once it gets to the "rethink possible" keeps restarting the att motion until it finally restarts the whole phone and it keeps doing this.. I wanted to ask you guys if my phone is bricked or something because is really annoying. Thanks ! :confused:
[Samsung Infuse 4G] magnetboard:
A brick would be where you wouldn't be able to boot up. A virus would be wiped out when flashing a new rom. When installing a new rom, did you also format /system? Sometimes that irons out some bugs. Maybe doing a wipe on your dalvik and cache seperatly could help.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Boriiboss:
Yea, once i last flashed CM10 yeah i did and the problem persits... Right Now im in stock FROYO 2.2 with no luck... I had to switch to my old Mytouch 3G Slide until i fix this issue...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ThdDude:
Look in developer area there is a plethora to choose from, try them all is what I recommend. You will find one you like, everyone has different tastes. But 4.2.2 I recommend my Hellybean from 20130801
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] CrazCruz:
Goodbye SII

Just for general statistics, I burned the MB of my one week old galaxy sII, can't even get it into download mode. It's a hard brick.

Thanks for all of your responses..
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] EyLaTnOgN:
http://gorillagadgets.com/gorilla-g...-note-2-ii-with-nfc-protected-back-cover.html

It has nfc capability and its 2.06 times more of stock battery :) they have it both in white and grey.

It also has a tpu case that is seperate for only 11 dollars found here:

http://gorillagadgets.com/tpu-protective-case-for-samsung-galaxy-note-2-ii-extended-battery.html

Waiting 2-5 days for only $5.20 5-10 days is like $4.50
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] alpha-alpha:
Darn it all. I was looking for one of these about 3 weeks ago. I settled for 2 Anker 3100 mah batteries and a charger for about the same money. So far, they are quite good and I'm pleased with their performance. Now I have battery envy.

In my book, the stock battery is too small, the zerolemon is too big, but the Gorilla would have been just right and at a good price.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] EyLaTnOgN:
Plus it has the nfc support that most dont have. And its 50% off right now. I have another battery case but saw this and was sold. I think you should go ahead and try it
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
From the link pictures TPU case looks like S3 case although it says for Note 2. Here is my take on this. It looks like a regular ebay extended battery with addition of NFC built into the plastic battery cover, thus probably why the price is higher than from ebay. I don't have any experience with Gorilla brand, but obviously it just a HK generic re-branded battery, and from a lot of the reviews of those I have seen it's 50/50 chance you will get the advertised capacity. I'm not saying it's a case with Gorilla stuff, but it would be good to hear back from someone who bought their battery before and had a chance to really test it out to calculate mAh output. From what I heard and read, the only available double capacity batteries that are reliable: Mugen ($105 - way too overpriced) or Hyperion ($18.99 and $4.99 for extended tpu case).

Regarding Zerolemon being too big, I would correct it as "heavier" but not too big. It adds the same thickness as 6200/6500 mAh battery, just extends it across the back of the phone due to an additional battery block. That is why people use the same Defender mod for either double capacity or triple capacity extended battery - fitment will be similar.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] EyLaTnOgN:
Well i guess ill be the tester :D

Ill try to post pics and a typed review of the device when id have a weeks use of it
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] LordRalh3:
Pretty sure ill be getting one of these, GG batteries have been the highest quality batteries ive used going back through my droid X and X2 both.

gNOTE2 rolling in the north
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] EyLaTnOgN:
Mine comes in tomorrow. Idk if im going to try it as of right away. Because i got my battery case still (lasts me atleast 1.5-2 days easily)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] EyLaTnOgN:
The packaging is just amazing. Doesnt seem cheap at all. Very professional and cant wait to try it out now :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] alpha-alpha:
How thick is the GG battery? Do you have the means to measure it accurately? tia.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] EyLaTnOgN:
Ill post a stock vs gg battery pic tomorrow
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] EyLaTnOgN:
But its basically twice the size of OEM in width
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] EyLaTnOgN:
Here is a comparison
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] alpha-alpha:
Deleted
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] EyLaTnOgN:
The GG of course. Its 6500 mah. Its twoce the size of the oem battery
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] alpha-alpha:
Ya, as soon as I sent it, I tried to delete it,, but I wasn't allowed to until 5 minutes passed.

Anyway was I wanted to say is, which would be thicker the GG or 2 stacked Samsung batteries?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] EyLaTnOgN:
The GG by a hairline... its basically to Samsungs put together
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
That's how most of these work. Double capacity is nothing more or less than 2 original ones fused together. Zerolemon is just 3 fused together, arranged in a different shape. As it was discussed before, Samsung squeezed maximum capacity out of that battery footprint, nothing holding back. 3100 mAh is the max you can get out of that single footprint while 6200 mAh is the max out of double, just like 9300 mAh is the max from ZL triple. The only other company that was able to squeeze a bit more juice out of double was Mugen, and they make their own battery cells. Everybody else buys it from China and slaps their own label on it. Some companies do a detailed testing to guarantee the product, while others write made up capacity numbers. I would take it with a grain of salt when I read 6500 mAh and see the price (higher than ebay stuff, but justifiable because NFC antenna is included and that one is pricey) which points to origin of these cells from China. I have nothing against GG and from all the feedback I see they are a very reputable company that has been around for awhile. But I still think these are really 6200 mAh batteries, unless someone can get an external test unit which discharges and monitors the actual current draw down to 3.4V or whatever is the threshold when battery goes dead.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] EyLaTnOgN:
You guys dont understand how hard it is to drank this sucker. I was on netflix, youtube, ifunny, instagram, texting calling web browsing all day. And now i have nyan cat (10 hours version playing) and i dont think i can get to 5% anytime soon XD
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] EyLaTnOgN:
Oh and its on highest brightness
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] alpha-alpha:
vectron, have you seen this review for the GG battery?

http://www.batteryreview.info/revie...h-extended-battery-for-the-samsung-galaxy-s3/

According to the review, the GG battery is on par with Anker, Hyperion, and Mugen, beating them all slightly. If the reviewed battery is representative of GG batteries, then they are comparable to the favored batteries on this forum.

I have enjoyed reading many of your reviews. Thank you for your fine work. Is there any chance you might review the GG battery for the GN2?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] studentjunk:
anybody get NFL rewind working on the GS3? I have been using the firefox all year to watch 2012 games. In the last week or so, it stopped working. Only plays for about 10 seconds and then freezes.

it seems like the handling of the internet stuff has changed. Not clear if it's on their end or mine. I am running the lastest MOAR ROM. I also did a factor reset and cleared cache's without help. also loaded stock MD4, and didn't work.

any other ideas on why there would be a change?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
A search and discussion from elsewhere on XDA indicates that the App will not work on rooted phones. Just from what I have read anyhow.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
Unless your on TPR :D

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] studentjunk:
Thanks, but I was asking about nfl rewind, not nfl mobile. I had been watching games using the firefox web browser. The nfl rewind app only works on tablets as far as i can tell. I must have been the only one using the subscription on my phone's web browser.

stopped working a week or so ago.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] studentjunk:
Ok. So I did a lot of searching and I found a program that seems to work. However, it's choppy on my connection. My wifi is slow. Is there anyone out there with fast Internet that can try it? I am using the slowest comcast speed. So if you have rewind and faster Internet, please try and report back.

I got it running with photon browser. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appsverse.photon

Yeah, same problem here. I even (unrelated) just went through going all the way back to stock except for re-locking the bootloader and no such luck! Done everything but grab that unknown APK for some VPN service.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dawgdoc96:
Loving it!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Dmkjr:
Not questioning, just asking.... What's wrong with Jedi? I've ran it several times in the past and never an issue. I only changed to go back to the AOSP feel / Vanilla. Everything Rushing has ever put out has been above par and right on task as a daily driver. I will say that he doesn't publish often, but when he does its worth taking a look at.

But like always, nandroid first and then test this out. If its not for you, no hard feelings, return to previous setup.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jason4962:
Flash and report back for us! ,-)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rushing:
screen shots in OP now... I never tried jmt 6... from what i read there are lots of users. I predict this ROM to be more stable cause there is less going on, but this is still testing and not a final so we will see.

please report any problems... thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dawgdoc96:
No problems at all. This ROM is FAST!! I did flash Tiberius kernel. Super snappy.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Koragg618:
ROM works beautifully. Smooth and fast. Running fully stock and no problems so far. Good work Rushing :D

Buttery smooth loving it so far usually I flash tiberious kenel with all my tw roms but this one doesnt need it beautiful rom and thank u OP
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mon5trum:
I will flash and report back tomorrow! It's my wife's s2 and ever since I flashed jmt 6 on her phone and she has been having small issues. And since she is not really that savvy with all this stuff she doesn't know how to fix it! I love jmt and have been using it before I went to AOSPA!

Glad you came back Rushing! The first custom ROM I flashed on my s2 was one of your ICS touchWIZ ROMs!

Pardon me. Can you make one for the telus rom? I'm looking for a lite, debloated stock ROM and this one looks and sounds good.

Thanks in advance
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mon5trum:
You could always after flashing this ROM, you flash a Telus specific kernel and radio!

That could always work, a lot of people from the sky rocket community flash ROMs from the t-mobile s2 forums they just flash their kernels and radios and it works just fine!

I'm sorry but is there a way to change the setting ui to stock color? :p

if not, thanks for great ROM
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] a93hunt:
Rushing,

First, thank you for your hard work. I will be using this ROM as my daily driver.

I've been thinking about the UI recently and I see that you have power toggles enabled on your phone. Is is possible to create a MOD disabling the toggles and brightness bar so that power toggles takes the place of the SystemUI toggles? The reason I ask is because I think it would 1) be more visually attractive & 2) save space, the toggles and bar take up ~1/3 of the screen in the notification shade.

Also, I think it would be very efficient if the search key were remapped to recent apps.

*I know the things I mentioned potentially cause problems with stability but I think they would make good add-ons.:good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] s2jpark:
Great room. Smooth. I have one question though. I couldn't get my Gmail calendars to show up. I downloaded Google services and even downloaded the Google version of the calendar. I checked my accounts and calendars don't show up to sync. I did a fresh install and used the wipe scrips.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jason4962:
agree on the toggles i dont use all of them. not sure.if we can get lidroid toggles on this or.not. thoose you can customize how ever you want while.stock feel.

roms runs good here also. flawless untill you do something wrong and it goes crazy. im having battery problems. it drains way to much. while plugin . 3 hours it will only get to 60％ normally its fully charged. if im on the phone while charging the percentage will stay at 39% untill i leave phone alone. useto it will charge as i play.

on the other note i backup and restore apps from titanium maybe thats it...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rushing:
could be titanium I dont restore apps.

I uploaded the wrong ROM I changed the build.prop and it wouldn't boot and then I redid the buil.prop with no tweaks. so see i deleted the wrong ROM earlier =[ and uploaded the one that didnt boot.. my bad guys ... if you only knew how many 1.5 ROMs I have and have had youd think it was 3.5..

so Im gonna fix that the others should work fine if not let me know about them

I flashed them but the upload was slightly rushed in between lunch break...

fix it soon

already got it to boot checking for details...

uploading 1.5 with tweaks...

did the other two work right for everyone that tried them? thanks. Im almost never in a rush though Im always rushing and then bam grabbed the wrong ROM in a rush... well im going to triple check it this time =]
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rushing:
SHADOW_1.5 with tweaks is up and fully running
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jason4962:
that is why you should just build the best one you like. unless if you like building multiple types then great more.roms for.us. i think we can live with one built and just keep on making it better
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rushing:
yeah Im surprised that I go through so much trouble as well...

but what I'm doing is testing the tweaked vs the non tweaked and giving one out with allshare and weather. so it didnt seem like that was too much for me to do.. however I mislabeled the nontweaked and and biffed the tweaked hahaho

at any rate it should all three should be perfect... and trust me its going to just be one build per number from here forth. it just further complicates the complicated.

taking a rest and even while I rest I have 1.6 to test =] Like a snake eating its tail, I never stop I doomed to fail.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Negrin82:
I restored apps from titanium and is fine, my battery is awesome, Im even using themes and everything is working just fine...
