I wouldn't say that they are meaningless, but even so, I notice slight lag and a bit of a longer delay when opening and transitioning between apps, even before I have checked for benchmarks.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cstrife999:
I would... Then run stock... I guarantee you are in the vast vast vast minority here....
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] sawedust:
I used to be a benchmark junkie too until I realized that a few hundred or thousand points in benchmarks had little to no effect on my user experience with a ROM as a whole. Furthermore, benchmark scores can be inflated. You can max out your specs for benchmark purposes, but are you really going to be using all cores on max speed with performance governor throughout the day? My guess is, likely not.

In regards to transitions in ROMs, you can always mess with the developer settings to reduce the animation time for a quicker, smoother transition. I prefer the .5x setting, but your preferences may vary.

I prefer custom ROMs over stock for their levels of customization. Nothing better than to be able to tweak my phone to my own liking. Stock ROMs usually don't have the little extras that make Android a truly personal and enjoyable experience.

Overall, it comes down to what you prefer. For some, its a stock or close-to-stock interface with great performance. Others may prefer a more customized ROM that may or may not sacrifice performance and compatibility, but suits their needs better.

TL;DR User experience is more important than benchmark scores.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] BinaryTB:
I believe a recent Anandtech article mentioned that manufacturers, check for specific benchmarking apps and then optimize their running to get inflated scores. Stock Android, Motorola, and Apple don't have those checks and their benchmarks can be "trusted".
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Zynesterysdan:
Besides benchmarking scores, does the phone itself just feel a bit slower for any of you guys when running custom roms? Like when you scroll in settings or in a Web browser, or opening an app?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Kiyuubi:
It was slower for me too , tried cm 10.2 and even liquid smooth but just didn't feel as smooth as stock. Plus I've come to like sense far more than vanilla android
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Markino:
Hi guys,

yesterday I've checked my battery using the *#0228# code and it seems everything is correct: my battery was 23% and the menu shown 23%.

Then (i hate me!) I've press the quick start button on the bottom of the screen and my battery drains at 13%!

I've restart but nothing changed so I removed the battery for a couple of minutes and then after reboot it shown around 22% so I think I solve the problem but... what is the quick start button for?

Have I makde some bad think on my battery and/or my S4? :)
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] roostaar:
I dropped my (SPV M1000) PH10B (cracked the LCD Screen) which was running WM5 1.60.cWWE and 96Ramdisk.

My LCD screen was MUCH brighter than my friends PH10a (running same software) but my HW buttons did NOT work, whereas his did.

My brand new replacement phone came today, I flashed it with 1.60.cWWE and 96Ramdisk immediatley and now my HW buttons DO work but the screen is not so bright. It looks like a windows desktop that is running in 256 colours rather than 32-bit, you know? My old phone was really high res colour and was really bright.

I looked at my new phones model number and it is a PH10a.

So, is this HW button thing down to this diff in hardware??

And is there anything that I can do to my screen to help smooth the colours and make it brighter?

I dont mind the darkness so much but the edged of icons etc look quite 'jagged'.

Roostaar

PS Its weird but this screenshot looks excellent, the actual device however is darker and blocky background (like a low res, low colour screen)
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Griffy wiffy:
I have the same problem. I have 2 XDAII's. One has a really bright screen but the camera and notes buttons don't work (WM2K). The other works fine but the screen is 50% darker. Its impossible to play tombraider so its not how it should be. Surely there must be something that can be done????

[HTC One X+] smartsubbi:
I have not recieved any updates for my HTC one X plus

It still remains on 4.1.1 :(
[HTC One X+] surfatwork:
You will, don't worry. HTC is a good company that is committed to providing the best for its customers, and ensuring their complete satisfaction. They are working hard on your device, and please remain assured that your device will be updated very soon.

I would love to help more, but the absence of any useful information in your post reduces one to platitudes.
[HTC One X+] smartsubbi:
Its not a rooted mobile its a brand new mobile :D what other information do you need ? i got this after i rooted and crashed my xperia mini pro sk17i :)
[HTC One X+] Ghand0ur:
Reboot and hold down the volume down button, you will see a white screen with some weird text.

You will find at the very top "CID: " and some numbers/characters after it.

Write the characters that you see.. It consists of something like this HTC_01 or instead of HTC there might be something like "O2" .

Or an alternative way is download a playstore app called "CID Getter" and then write the characters/numbers combo that it says.

Updates arrival time changes from one CID to the Other.
[HTC One X+] surfatwork:
^^ Get your CID as he said. "CID Getter" is probably the easiest way. CIDs are used by HTC to categorize different markets/operators where they sell their phones.

Once you have that, check in the general section/subforum. There are a couple of threads where people have posted their CIDs and if they have got the Sense5 update. But normally, I would assume that if your CID has got the update, then you should have got an OTA update.

If you really want Sense 5 and 2.17/4.2.2, then you could try Insertcoin from the Android Development subforum. Excellent, stable ROM which offers most of what 2.17 does. probably better. Your HBOOT and radio will remain the same, which is not a bad thing, tbh. You will have to root etc. though, but Hasoon's toolkit and a search in the general subforum should sort you out.
[HTC One X+] smartsubbi:
it says CID as 11111111 :confused:
[HTC One X+] surfatwork:
really? can you reconfirm? 11111111 usually means a SuperCID. which in theory means that your phone can be upgraded with pretty much any OTA,RUU. However it also means that if y ou are not careful, you can also brick your phone much more easily.
[HTC One X+] smartsubbi:
Yeah checked it using CID getter and also checked by ur method ... IS this bad !!!!!! ? i am worried now
[HTC One X+] AndroHero:
Nothing to worry about, just to clarify a few things. CID stands for carrier ID, Most devices are locked to only being able to apply updates designed for that particular CID.

Now when you have SuperCID like you, it means your devices is not locked to any particular set of updates and you can flash official roms or OTA's meant for any region or carrier.

As far as i know there is nothing particularly dangerous with having a device with SuperCID as there is still protection in place to stop you flashing OTA's/RUU's meant for other devices or HOX variants..
[HTC One X+] smartsubbi:
Ok :) so how will i still get update on the air or do i have to do some changes so that i get 4.2.2 updates ?
[HTC One X+] sriharshanannem:

[HTC Sensation] sid.parmar:
My phone is rejecting my SD card for no reason, it has been working but after plugging it into a computer to transfer files it no longer recognizes my memory card,it keeps saying blank or SD card ejected, i know it works as I have flashed to a different ROM and back with no success of getting rid of the issue, it seem that only within a ROM it cannot read it, cheers in advance.

i think it has an option to mount it from settings

ddi you try it?
[HTC Sensation] sid.parmar:
Yeah, ive tried mounting and it will not mount. As i have said it works within recovery and on computer, its just within ROMs that it doesnt work

[HTC Sensation] nemuro:
Hey guys,

I am fed up and looking for an upgrade to the sensation. The phone didn't die on me, but the lack of an official JB build is forcing devs into shooting blind. I have the same rom I used about a year ago (ARHD 6.8 which is rock solid btw) when I bought it, and as patient as I can be, I feel the development on this phone is pretty slow and htc surely isn't helping this at all, especially if taken into consideration that they lied about releasing JB for the sensation.

The last stable version of CM is that of CM9, nightlies see no commits, it's terrible.

I am looking for something else, with more active development and better specs, hopefully not a samsung. I still like HTC. The only compromise for me would be maybe a samsung galaxy nexus or the latest nexus.

What can you recommend?
[HTC Sensation] heavy_metal_man:
I would hang back until nexus 5 comes out and see if its up to your liking :) the nexus 4 has pretty good support, as does the HTC one I believe. (Which also has full s-off ) I was leaning towards the Xperia z but the battery is apparently not very good, and some people are having issues with the back glass coming up a little. Which is obv not good when your phone is ment to be water tight!
[Nexus 5 General] jezus101:
The forum specs say the Nexus 5 has 3GB of RAM but it only has 2GB
[Nexus 5 General] lokenok:
how sure are you? the phone havent been released yet...
[Nexus 5 General] Pipusz:
Why on earth would you need 3GB? A Nexus device doesn't need that much, because the OS is lightweight without any additional BS. If you use your phone properly and don't let unnecessary stuff to run in the background, then 2GB is more than enough.
[Nexus 5 General] Jimlarck:

Man this thread is worthless..one can only tell 100% true specs about a damn phone which isn't even't released when one holds in in their hands or if it has been announced.

iPhone 6 has 2GB Ram.
[Nexus 5 General] Fushichou:
Never say any amount is too much, Bill Gates will never live the quote down of no-one needing more than 640k :) 3GB would let you run more apps at once and give games more breathing room, so while it might not be needed yet it would certainly extend the usable life of the phone.
[Nexus 5 General] AppReviewBros:
In my opinion 2gb of RAM is more than enough. At least for now, of course. I never kill apps and have never had full RAM.
[Nexus 5 General] harveydent:
You guys seem to be missing the point. He's not complaining that the N5 has only 2GB, he's letting XDA mods know that there's something wrong with the listed forum specs (unless the phone actually ships with 3GB).

All the knee-jerk responses of "2GB is more than enough" is amusing.
[Nexus 5 General] Woody:
And we have a winner.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] outdated:
Hello,

I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace. I want to root it and flash it with CyanogenMod (the latest working version for Galaxy Ace). I also want to make a backup of the current state of the Ace i.e. the stock ROM so that I may revert back to it in case I don't like what I get after the flashing of the new ROM.

I have never before rooted any android phones and I have no intentions of bricking my Ace. I have searched about how to go about the process but I keep reading about CWM, odin, unlocking bootloader and stuff like that which I am not at all familiar with.

So, can anybody guide me through the steps? What should be the first step?

I request somebody to guide me through the process so that if anything goes wrong, lets say I softbrick my phone, you can help me recover it. If I follow along a tutorial all on my own, I might end up with a bricked phone.

Thanks in advance for all the help :laugh:

Hi everyone,

I'm currently hugely waiting for the Nexus 5 release date.

Meantime, I think i have to buy (or order if it's free with my carrier), because i have curently a regular SIM (i have a galaxy S 1 i9000).

So i just want to know (in order to be ready asap) if it's pretty sure that we'll have to switch to a Nano Sim, like the "life :)" rumour said (and like the iPhone 5), or just a Micro Sim.

At the moment the phone hasn't been announced so how can anyone know? Wait till it's announced and get the SIM. But, my operator Sims have cut outs so you just pop the bits out till you have what you need. Easier than having 3 stocks of Sims.

All references to the SIM interface in the service manual are as "USIM" which means micro (μ) SIM, with one explicit reference to "Micro_SIM". E.g.:

Additionally, the SIM tray socket on the rear of the mainboard does not appear to be small enough to the a nanosim socket (ignore the red ring, it's part of the service manual photo annotation):

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cgi:
The SIM-cards out there are all technically identical, only the size of the surrounding plastic is different. In addition, the nano SIM is 0.1mm thinner than the bigger versions. If you want to have maximum flexibility get yourself a nano SIM and an adapter. I did, and it is working without problems. Just be careful, that it doesn't get stuck.

The adapter you can either buy for a few bucks, or cut yourself from an old credit card. There are a lot of howtos on youtube.

See here for example: http://www.amazon.com/Converter-Ada...d=1381583328&sr=1-2&keywords=sim+card+adapter

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htowngator:
It would make sense to get yourself a nano sim and then have a micro sim adapter. It's much easier to go from smaller to bigger because if you ever try a nano sim phone you'll have to buy another sim (if its micro you can go back and forth w/o swapping sim cards).
