So is there a noticeable difference in speed and smoothness if I install CM mod 10.1 on my sd card and dual boot vs flashing it to the hardware flash?

Yes, very much so. I would recommend a hybrid installation as it still keeps the nook software but has the performance of a hardware install.

[Java for Android App Development] Imnice777:
So I'm just beginning to try getting into development and saw from several users on here that the first step would be to learn Java, so my obvious question is what's the best way to do that? I have little programming experience. I believe I correctly installed JDK and also have Eclipse and AndroidSDK. A brief but clear explanation pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated. Thank you for anyone who can help.
[Java for Android App Development] PicomatStudios:
The first thing you should do is ignore the AndroidSDK for a while !

It's not worth touching a phone before you can at the very least write a few simple Java programs.

Start with a single class that prints some stuff out to the screen and go from there.

Once you are comfortable with the syntax, I'd say you'd need to be able to write a standalone Java program that has, say, 10 classes in it as a first step.
[Java for Android App Development] Imnice777:
Thanks for the advice! I'd definitely agree that I should be able to read and write at least basic code before putting anything to use, however where should I learn how to write the classes? I downloaded the Headfirst Java textbook because I saw people talking about it and seemed pretty legit. Do you know anything about it or how to go about using it? I can't seem to open the .class or .java files even though I believe I correctly installed JDK. Is there a better place to learn? Thanks for any help you give, clearly I'm new to this, however very interested.
[Java for Android App Development] Bassel Bakr:
I liked the official tutorials much and I'm sure you would like it too.

Just focus on the concept for a while before proceeding any farther.

Good luck. :)

Thanks both of you. I've been looking at the official tutorials on Oracle but some videos would definitely help too. I have a little programming experience so it's making sense to me, just trying to get all the terms right. Videos will help me out with the explanations. Thanks again!

It's all good, if anything this just confirms that they're good videos lol...if you have any suggestions that have yet to be mentioned, feel free to add them. Thanks.
[Java for Android App Development] nikwen:
Yeah, if you want a book, I can recommend the Head First Java book. That's how I learned it.

You can also have a look at the Vogella tutorials, especially for Android specific things.

One tip: If you learn Java just to be able to develop for Android, skip the UI parts. They are completely different on Android. ;)
[Java for Android App Development] Imnice777:
Sounds good, I have already downloaded the Head First Java book, however I haven't been able to utilize it as of yet. Am I supposed to compile the lessons first? Run them with Eclipse?
[Java for Android App Development] nikwen:
In my opinion that depends on how much knowledge of other programming languages you have.

If you already know how to use for/while/do-while-loops and if/switch-conditions, you might want to skip those examples. Do it just if you're sure you don't need them.

I didn't run any of the codes. (Wanted to start with Android as soon as possible. :laugh:) I learn very well just by reading on programming languages because they are basically all the same. So it's not difficult to learn another language if you already know another one.

However, I ran the examples in the books I used to learn my very first languages (Delphi and Python). I just skipped them for Java.

Decide whether it will be helpful for you. If you're in doubt, run them. ;)
[Java for Android App Development] .::Ash::.:
The textbook for JAVA in our college is 'Starting out with JAVA' by Tony Gaddis and its really very good for beginners. Just give it a try.

Hey guys,

since i decided to change to google edition i tried a bit around..

currently running on ARHD google edition with bulletproof...but it feels a bit unsmooth, my play store is messing around (its fine after a restart... but i have to restart every 2nd app i downloaded) i'm going to search for another G-edition ROM.

You guys know one? and if so..with what kernel? I need a good balance between performance and battery and with sweep2wake.

thanks in advice

Another thing you could do is edit the build.prop and change the device to a nexus 7 and see if that changes anything. I am sure there is a free app out there that can edit the build.prop, but I know for a fact that ROM toolbox pro can edit it, if you have that.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] AndyCr15:
I have recently upgraded from a PDA2k to an M5000. In clearing things off my PDA2k, I cleared all contacts (using Pocket Informant) and all calendar items.

I then, put it back in the cradle to take a pick, thinking the cable wasn't plugged in, and its cleared my contacts and calendar on Outlook on my PC. Thinking I would be able to put them back from my M5000, I made a total back up using SKTools of my M5000 and connected it.

Now its wiped the contacts from the M5000 (I stopped it before it did the calendar)... all except apparently the last 2 I added? (Which was same as above).

The real problem is, I restored the full back up, and I still only have these last 2 contacts...

I daren't plug it back in again as I may loose all my calendar items.

When I go to Call History, it still seems to have all the Names related to the numbers that have called me. When I hold down on one, 'Add to Contacts' is greyed out...

Anyone know whats happening or how I might be able to get my contacts back? And... how I can avoid it wiping more stuff?

Thanks.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
I strongly advise against the S4 GT-I9505. I had one for a few weeks, and on paper, it's great, but in practice, it's not.

Issues for me included:

Knox bootloader, without which, no 4.3+ Stock ROMs

Screen Smearing... can't be fixed, only masked by making black into gray.

Extremely easy to scratch the fake chrome bezel trim

Huge amount of internal memory is consumed by Touchwiz ROM space and cannot be reclaimed from it, even if AOSP/CM is flashed.

Touchwiz drags down the strong hardware. AOSP/CM is missing sources thanks to Samdung's policy to not provide what's necessary to make it work properly.

To me, the best non-Nexus option at this point is the Optimus G Pro, even over the G2 with a semi-locked bootloader, because it has stellar hardware, a great screen, bigger battery, huge internal storage, removable battery, expandable storage.

You can get one online for around $300!

Data connected fine. WiFi signal is strong. Can't test lte. But I can even send MMS over WiFi which is really friggin cool. Running at a DPI of 280. Phone feels huge.

I have the unknown baseband too but who cares.... This ROM is amazingly smooth. I kept trying the cm10.2 build because its the most stable for my phone so far but the performance is lacking compared to stock. This sabermod stuff makes a difference I think. About to bench and see where it sits

[General Accessories] ashphoenix:
Hi Vectron,

I had a query: does the HF2 work with the FiiO X5? I am thinking about either going for an FiiO E18 with my Note II (like your setup) or a standalone FiiO X5 (when it becomes available in US) AND also buying an HF2 (as an upgrade from my current Klipsch S4A II). I know that these should work with E18 because you tested the E18 with the HF2 but just wanted to confirm if they also worked with your X5. I am asking this because my Klipsch S4A II doesn't work with some devices e.g. my MSI Primo 76 Tablet (the tablet jack is headphone only -- the sound goes weird with S4A but sounds ok with regular headphone only jacks) so was wondering if the headset jacks are universally functional or not.

On a separate note, just wanted to thank you (apart from the thanks button) for all these reviews, when I was going through your E18, X5, HF2 reviews I went to your review index and realized I bought two things previously also reading your reviews: my Seidio Convert for the Note II and the Klipsch S4A II -- but hadn't realized that those were your review also.

Cheers!
[General Accessories] vectron:
X5 and E18 have universal headphone outputs, those will drive any headphone, no worries about it!!! As a matter of fact, every headphone I review gets tested with X5 and I include a picture as a proof ;)

So, what you are saying S4A didn't work well with MSI Primo 76 tablet? Does it sound OK when you push multifunction button on the in-line control? The reason I'm asking because I just went through a similar thing with my daughter's old mp3 player. She was using one of my in-ear headphones without in-line remote until she broke those headphones. I gave her a pair of new ones that have in-line control and they sounded like crap until you push the play/call multifunction button on remote. That mp3 player was an old model, not wired correctly for in-line remote. That makes me wonder if you have something similar with MSI tablet? Have you tried any other headphones with in-line remote on that tablet?

Another question, why did you decide on HF2 after S4A? I know I get very excited with every new headphone review, and it often sounds optimistic, but after spending last 3-4 months reading and posting on Head-fi, I picked up a lot of tips about audiophile world, and more critical about comparison of various headphones. HF2 are great, but they are brutally revealing with a bright analytical signature. After S4A you will realize how much you miss bass since HF2 is lacking low end. The sound on HF2 is very detailed, but for example if you are listening to a lot of synthesize music (edm, dubstep) and even some pop/rock, you can get an ear fatigue after awhile because of a bright sound. But for jazz, classical - it's a pure heaven. Also, if you like vocals - you will not just hear it but will feel it. They are very revealing!!!
[General Accessories] ashphoenix:
That's a relief :D

Wow, thanks, that was a revelation! Yes, when I pressed the button like you'd mentioned, it did become ok (without the button, they sounded like the vocal is missing, or the music is playing underwater). But alas, it's ok just as long as I kept the button pressed. I checked with a pair of UE 500vm -- same results. Went to the MSI support website and they did say "3.5mm headphone Jack (OMTP Standard) *Please kindly employ headphone of OMTP Standard".

However, I'm not really concerned about using the tablet as an audio source, as long as the X5 is compatible with it, I should be fine :)

I've been thinking about Etymotic, mostly because of the seal/isolation and also because even the S4A sometimes seem a bit dull/bass heavy to me (I'm not too familiar with audiophile sound descriptions/terminology). In the S4A, I've discovered I only like it with the bi-flange tips so thought etymotic with its tri-flange would be even better (I know, possibly too simplistic thinking).

Also, I listen mainly to rock/pop and beyond Daft Punk and Kraftwerk, don't listen to a lot of electronica. Jazz I haven't really explored, but I am increasingly listening to more classical. Most of my listening used to be from my speaker setup previously (Jamo S 606 speakers, Marantz SR-4003 amp with a Pioneer DVD/SACD player. I've recently moved to US temporarily/for the time being and don't want to invest too much (space wise) into hi-fi but I miss the audio immersion. That's why I've been thinking of investing in a good lossless player and a set of good IEMs. On the player, I guess I'm more or less now fixed on X5 but it's the headphones (probably IEMs, because now I'm also increasingly listening to more audio out of home) where I'm getting stuck: whether I should invest moderately in a pair of accurate sounding HF2 or maybe ratchet up the investment all the way to W40 (hearing good vibes about something called VSonic GR07 also). Any thoughts/recommendations? which headphone do you find yourself reach for the most?

Thanks for reading through!
[General Accessories] vectron:
[MENTION=4440692]ashphoenix[/MENTION] : glad we figured out headphone mystery!

Regarding listening to lossless music, X5 gets my high recommendation. Really an excellent source and I enjoy it more every day! With headphones, I'm actually thinking you will be better off with new Audio-Technica ATH-IM02. Check out my review posted recently. They offer an amazing level of details and they still have a very well balanced sound with a decent bass. W40 will be an overkill for you. For the price of one W40 you can almost get X5 + IM02. I really think that X5 + IM02 will be a better fit for you, in terms of sound quality. Etymotic will give you the best sound isolation, but those jammed into your ear felt like a surgery to take out lol!!! Sorry, I'm not trying to bash them; Etymotic are very popular and great headphones, but not for everybody.
[General Accessories] Pytte:
can you show a closeup of them in your ear ? I need some that don't stick out to much as i wear them in my motorcycle helmet, and since ER6i is no more, I'm looking at HF2 or HF5 as replacement.
[General Accessories] vectron:
These will stick out too much. You might want to look into headphones with a body style of Westone (ADV series, build tough) or Shure (SE215 is their cheapest single BA driver version). Everything else will be sticking out. Or maybe look into "classic" Sennheiser CX300 - those have small earbud cans that go into your ear and you can even sleep with them on.
[General Accessories] Pytte:
I appreciate the advice, been looking at westone and Shure, but the noise isolation is probably no where near what Etymotic gives.. maybe I should experiement with putting 3 flange tips on them..
[General Accessories] vectron:
I found that 3-flange tip to be too invasive lol!!! and it was still sticking out. But works great as ear canal cleaner :)

Wouldn't you want to be able to hear around you to stay alert when driving a motorcycle? With any of these headphones, just use Comply Foam tips and sound isolation goes up!!!
[General Accessories] Pytte:
I got used to 3 flange with the 6i, I only listen to music on highways, never in the city. I'm gonna get the shure 215 and see how good the foam works :)
[General Accessories] vectron:
Just keep in mind, SE215 will have a completely different sound signature. This single balanced armature driver is tuned toward a low end enhancement, low clarity, not as much details. Ety headphone (dynamic driver) is detailed analytical with less bass. Shure is warm, a little veiled, and less clear.

Based on the dimensions, it's slightly smaller than the N4, but you can't really notice the difference
[Nexus 5 General] eksasol:
I love how people complains about 4.7" display being too small and going for the 5" display Nexus 5 which is nearly the exact same size when you compared the screen dimensions.

I love how people complains about the Nexus 5 with 5" display is going to be too big, even though its nearly the exact same size as the N4.

It's actually a marked improvement over 4.7", a 6.4% increase in screen real estate.
[Nexus 5 General] eksasol:
I know. It'll help offset some of the navbar, but overall my point is having 4.7" screen is not that bad.

[Nexus 5 General] Visa Declined:

[Nexus 5 General] eksasol:
It's closer to the camera that took the photo and is held up more perpendicular rather than slanted, ofcourse it will look bigger.

Yeah, compared my GNex to a S4's screen the other day, even at 4.67", the difference wasn't that much. Wished the N5's screen size was closer to the G2's
