[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
That's what custom ROMs and themes are for. Who among us on XDA going to buy this device and use it "as is" right out of the box?

It looks to me like there will be a drop shadow to compensate for light backgrounds/icons. I like the transparency idea very much, actually.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rochrunner:
This is always a PITA for us developers, assuming we want our apps to stay current with the appearance standards for the new versions of Android as they come out. Basically, I have to supply icons in differing sizes/colors for several versions of Android and in 4 different densities for each. So for a given notification icon, the app will probably contain about 16 icons to cover it all even though only one of them ends up being used on a particular user's device!

I'm waiting now to see if Android 4.4 will specify something different for the main app shortcut icons since it looks like the standard system icons have a new look.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
I was thinking about that. It does seem like they are different, if the leaked images can be trusted.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user822:
You have a point. Remember this picture:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ehcool:
I like the Transparent look of 4.4 but as you said i hope there are options to change it like there are on the G2
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowcore:
Except that that is ugly, to me at least. You guys should be happy google does not for some reason start to use Comic Sans as the main script.

Comic sans is the most overused, notoriously evil font ever to exist. Even NASA and other institutes have been known to use it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
It's much more subtle than the example above, and it's quite well done. Even Samdung has found a way to do it in the S4. The drop shadow is just enough. Doesn't look ugly at all. It's actually the only pretty thing about Touchwiz, and it didn't arrive until the latest iteration.

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] sidle:
The problem is, that this can't be fixed by Devs, your mainboard is faulty and it has to be replaced, I got the same problem here, but ye u've chosen to flash it, so deal with it.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] lozohcum:
[MENTION=4634617]Noisy Boy[/MENTION] you are looser.

If you are not smart enough to read all posts and notices about roms don't complain. Most of devs informed people to dismiss the code prompt.

If you flash a rom without proper knowledge about this process and it's consequences then YOU ARE AN IDIOT.

So stop complaining because it's your fault.

Noisy Boy if you read posts in Xperia Z Fire thread you would already know how to protect your phone from sim-lock. But you are stupid and you skipped the most important part of custom romming - READING AND LOOKING FOR INFORMATIONS.

If you are not rich enough to but a new device why do you take that risk of unlocking bootloader and flashing custom roms?

Where are moderators? Please warn that kid and move this thread to the bin or remove it.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Noisy Boy:
Im no noob

im no kid i used port roms for samsung , and i did follow each instruction even the part where twas written to skip the simlock when it asks, -_- , i know its my fault but i read a thread where it shows where devs mess up and cause this simlock , so it negligence (if you know english)
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] lozohcum:
You should never install somethings that it's said to be not working well
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Noisy Boy:
It was written no bug

op on zfire had written no bug !!!!!!!!1 :( ,,,,,,, i was super careful i even asked asked and he said no bug , so op gvae wrong info ? Aka negligence of dev -_-
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] sidle:
I agree on this, the guy didn't give propper info at the time of flashing, I had to tell him this after I already had it locked.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] kurotsugi:
first of all, when you decide to flash a custom rom on your device, the basic rules are DO IT WITH YOUR OWN RISK

#include <std_disclaimer.h>
/*
* Your warranty is now void.
*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
*/

in ZFIRE cases, it's the first time known a custom will cause a simlock. the rom devs seems inexperienced and he obviously know nothing about sony's security system. on the installation procedure he even said, "Reboot ..if it asks sim inlock code just discard it and its done ". that's the one caused simlock on your device. if you want to blame someone, he is the one should responsible for it. you can report the thread, ask the mods to close it or ban him. the choice is yours. however, please don't generalize the case for every devs and rom developed here. as i've said, ZFIRE case is the first and as far as I know it also the only one case ever happened on this forum. on zfire case the devs also shows such irresponsible act by letting the thread and the rom download link wide open. this is not an act of a good developer. if he is as good as the other developer he will at least close the thread and give a warn to not use his product until the problem got resolved.

there will be a case when a custom rom will give us some problem. we should also understand that such custom rom won't work as good as stock rom. both devs and tester play important rom for software development. while the devs working on their stuff, the tester give encouragement, feedback, suggestion, solution, and , the most important, bug reports. all very important to create such good product and without feedback from the users, the development will be dead a long time ago. the ZFIRE case indeed a big hit for us and many user got affected with it. however, it is not a right decision to generalize the case for every devs and every custom rom they developed.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] soupmagnet:
This is not the right way to go about getting a problem resolved in this community. Anything that happens to your device as a result of the information or software found on this site is ultimately your responsibility.

Feel free to contact a moderator if you feel a piece of work was intentionally made to cause harm to your device but do not try to stir up trouble in the open forum, as it will not be tolerated.

This thread is closed because it is non-constructive and only serves as a breeding ground for potential arguments.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Expressionless:
Well I ran into a little struggle when trying to use the complete Linux installer by default so I thought I would post how I got it to work correctly.

When trying to run by default I got errors stating it could not mount the loop device, it is a very simple

Download the bootscript4-3.sh file from

sourceforge.net/projects/linuxonandroid/files/bootscript4-3.sh/downloadSorry not allowed to hyperlink)

and rename it as bootscript.sh

After you have that file ready move it to the directory /data/data/com.zpwebsites.linuxonandroid/files/ and replace the file that is already in there.

You now have a working CompleteLinuxInstaller app enjoy!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bobbyphoenix:
What branch are you running? I mean I want to install Ubuntu, but all the installers say it's really buggy, and to use a different branch.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Expressionless:
I haven't really toyed around with the different packs of Ubuntu, the only one I have used is the Ubuntu 10.10 version by Linux-on-android, it seemed to run okay, but I have not looked into it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mscion:
Hi. Thanks for your efforts. Just a couple questions. Do you need to use a kernel that has SELinux set to permissive. Also, can I just take the ubuntu image file I was using on my GN II and bring it over to my GN 3 to use.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Expressionless:
I am using a kernel with SElinux set to permissive, also any arm based Linux distro should theoretically work, I do no believe they are phone specific. I would recommend the sabrekernel.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mscion:
Ok. Great! So basically once I have appropriate kernel, I then run Linux on Android. It will set up its file structure and I then I replace bootscript.sh and I'm good to go.

EDIT. This bootscript file is from Linux on android project. I wonder if it is going under further testing. Doesn't hurt to try, and, of course, report to them as it is an open project!

Um no you don't have to repartition unless your external SD card is not formated.

And if you are making a backup, like in TWRP, change the backup directory to the external SD card

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] stefanozen:
Hi, I'm a new user of Jasjar. It is also my first Windows Mobile device.

I have two questions:

1) Why my JasJar is so slow? I mean I made an Hard reset this morning, but nothing change. I think that a device like that can't need 20 second for turn the screen on, and another 8/9 seconds for change from Landscape mode to vertical mode.

I have installed only the resco today plug in and the resco registry, for tchange the layout of the qwertz keyboard.

2) Any news for the italian rom upgrade? I see that in the ftp section there is a file named ROMITA-TIM. how to instal it? is safe to instal it?

Many Thanks

Yup, same here. It's probably not optimized for 1080p yet - or something like that, but i'm sure it's a Diamond Dash issue and not a ROM issue. Contact the devs and tell them it's crashing on the Ultra.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Bojamijams:
I remember once running across a way to see which apps are backed up on my google account (and which ones would be restored on a new device setup) and being able to manage that.

But I can't find that anywhere anymore.

When I flash a new rom, Google is downloading some apps that I no longer use and would like a way to manage that list.

Does anyone know it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] dark5577:
On the Play Store, press menu and go to My apps -> All. You can press and hold an app to enter a selection mode so you don't have to press each 'X' individually. I wish there was a launcher that would automatically remove these entries when you uninstall an app. I know you can get Titanium Backup to do it, but that's a pain going into an app to uninstall another app.

This may seem unrelated to SIII but i donot know where else to post.

This is about Gmail and Google Drive

I have installed the App in my S3 and i have the problem that whenever i upload something in Drive i have to go to drive from my computer to make the file public i.e. sharing with anyone.

Is there any way in the Drive app from which i can share a file to anyone

There is option to share but it just shares with specific people like from their email address. I hope you understand what i am trying to ask.

If you do know then please do let me know.

Sorry if it is in wrong forum

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Han Solo 1:
So I pre-ordered a 32GB white version from Best Buy. They didn't have it on the 10th so I went ahead and bought a black one to tide me over. But I'm getting impatient for my white one.

Still not in at Best Buy. I'm told that they won't be in next week either.

But they have a white 16GB. I'm seriously considering buying it along with a 64 GB micro SD card and just call it a day.

My question is, is there any performance difference between the 2 storage sizes? Or does it just affect strict storage space.

Thanks,

Han Solo
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Crazypinoy:
There isn't any performance differences between the two. Unlike the nand that is used in SSDs, the storage used doesn't necessarily degrade when getting filling it up.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] wingdo:
Just storage space. I'd hang for the 32 if you can. Don't do something rash just to have it today when in a few months you'll probably wish for more space.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Rickgsx:
Han... I agree with Wing on this one... I have a 32 gig note and I'm utilizing 10 gigs of it as of today. By the way, none of which are pictures or video, or for that matter too many games. I have a 64 gig sd card that I put my movies and pictures on.

So again, I'm utilizing 10 gigs out of the 32 gig storage that I have, that's just me, but if I were you I would wait for the 32 gig version

...Sent from my Tablet...Please excuse any typo's...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] legendary1022:
I would just have them ship it to the store and have them call you when it gets there. That way you don't have to pay for shipping, and can take advantage of the Best Buy return policies. There wouldn't be a performance issue based on the storage size. You've waited this long for the tablet to come out, what is a couple more days to wait for shipping? Play some GTA or watch some football till then. Life doesn't seize to exist because of a tablet.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] SomeGuyDude:
Why? The 16 will be a lot cheaper and you can just throw a 64GB card in it for less than the price difference. Unless you anticipate NEEDING 96GB of storage instead of 80 somehow, lower built-in storage + external card is always the best option.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] skyline23:
I disagree. It's $50 difference between 16 and 32 GB. You can break it down like this; If you keep and use the tablet for 24 months, it's an extra $2 a month!

I don't like moving apps to external memory, since not all apps support this feature. When I had my 16GB S4, I was constantly removing apps to make way for new apps. I hated that..

Also, the note does not have 16GB available to the user; it's more like 10GB.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] SomeGuyDude:
So store all your files and whatnot on the external. You'd have to have hundreds and hundreds of apps to use up the full internal just on those.

Fifty bucks. You can get a 64gb micro SD card shipped for that. Keep all your media on there, apps on the internal, and for the same price you have 2.5x the storage.

The only way I ever filled up my s3 was downloading all my rdio music onto it. How could you possibly be filling up the device from apps? I've never in my Android life had so many apps I needed to move them to the card.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] skyline23:
You assume folks that buy the 32GB note, won't spring for a 64GB card as well?!

Case in point, GTA Vice City is 1.4GB.

Anyways, if 16GB works for you, then cool.:good:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] SomeGuyDude:
Not at all. I'm saying that MOST people have no need for 96GB of storage and could save money by getting the 16 and a card of whatever size they'd like. It bugs me when people are stubbornly insisting that they NEED to spend more money on something when they don't.

Okay, so you install Vice City and five more copies of it, and that still leaves you with about a gig and a half to do whatever with. Put all your music/movies/downloads/documents/whatever on the external and bingo bango you saved money AND had more space.

What SHOULD happen in Android is that they embrace external storage and make it easier to put stuff on the external card. What happens INSTEAD is we end up reinforcing the "tiered storage size" model like Apple and next thing you know more tablets and phones have NO external storage, and it costs $100 extra just to go up 16GB in size.

I'm not arguing this just because it's the internet and I like being contrary, it's because I really do have a reason to be promoting people getting the smaller model plus microSD.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] skyline23:
dude, you're posting on XDA, not android4newbs. Most of us are power users who want and use more space.

If 16GB works for you, then cool. If someone wants to spend $50 for another 16GB, I don't see how that would bug you.

I'm the biggest fan of removable storage - That's why I choose Samsung, but preaching to all that MOST don't need more than 16GB because YOU don't use more than 16GB is just silly.

Also $50 is relative. To me $550 vs. $600 is not that big of a deal.

Cheers!:good:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] SomeGuyDude:
You're 100% right. I was speaking more toward someone who thinks 16GB isn't enough and wants 32. If you want 32, save a couple bucks and get the card. If you need ALL the space, then yeah get the 32 and a 64 card, but unless you need 96GB why spend the extra money?

$50 is definitely relative. I mean I have the Note instead of the Nexus because even though I'm not a massive stylus user I like having the option and the extra cost wasn't enough for me to mind, but I stuck with the 16 because I -reaaaaaally- feel like for 95% of users it's a smarter buy to get less included storage and add a card.

There's an added benefit, too. Let's say I buy a 16GB model and a 64GB card. Then in a year a new model comes out. I can once AGAIN get the 16GB model and stick my card in there. So not only did I save $50+ on the current one, but I saved it on the next one. It's savings that add up, and afford me the opportunity to get new devices! :laugh:

But again, it's about getting what YOU need. I'm sure some of you guys really DO need massive storage, in which case I really look forward for the day when these bad boys can take 128's.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] skyline23:
Hmm. I still don't understand why you would think someone who buys the 32GB Note wouldn't put a MicroSD card in it as well?

Also your cost savings analogy doesn't make any sense--but i'm sure you were just joking.

Let's set aside microSD cards aside for a bit.. Anyway you split it; it's $50 bucks difference between the 16GB/32GB model. for someone like me, it's money well spent.:cool:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] SomeGuyDude:
I had a lot more typed, but then I thought back on it and you do make a damn good point. Once you're over $500 it starts to turn kinda irrelevant, LOL. No matter how you slice it, I have NEVER been happier with a tech purchase. I actually was unsure I wanted a tablet AT ALL before I got the 2012 version of the Note 10.1, and that was awesome enough, but the new one? Sublime. 16 or 32, whatever. Buy it, enjoy. Is it perfect? Naw. Better than any other tablet I've played with? By a long shot. I used this thing side by side with the Nexus 10 and don't wish I'd gone the other way in the slightest.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] skyline23:
Dude, definitely agree on that!!!:good::laugh:

I was debating on the Nexus 10 as well, as I really wanted the high resolution display on *any* new tablet.

Im so glad I sprung for the '14 model. The Samsung perks was a nice touch as well.

Anyways, enjoy!:good:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] SomeGuyDude:
You made the right choice, yeah. Is it just me or does the Nexus 10 feel like a Fisher Price toy by comparison? The 2014 feels like an executive briefcase to me, the Nexus 10 is a high school backpack. I hate the rubber back on it and the rounded corners.
