[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Simba.7:
I just installed CM10.2 on my i317 and was amazed how much left-over space there is in /cache and /system. Is there a way to repartition it so I can use that extra 1.5GB of space in /data?

So far, it looks like this:

/system - 1763MB total (444MB used)

/cache - 1259MB (110MB used)

Can I shrink /system down to ~768MB (for future updates like KitKat) and /cache down to ~512MB?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Simba.7:
Um.. Anyone?

It seems that repartitioning is a taboo in these parts.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 210euser:
I wouldn't do it. This was more of an option for earlier builds where you needed to put part of your system on the sd. Unless the rom you want says to do it I wouldn't mess with it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Simba.7:
So, I'm stuck with 1.5GB of wasted, unused space. That sucks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 210euser:
I haven't used cm11 but I believe you can change the size of your system memory. Either way when you leave a tw rom you gain something like 4gb of memory back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mindmajick:
Lol. If you want to use it so bad put your user apps on the system partition. Problem solved

This is all over the internet, when the note 3 brightness is set on auto brightness it reaches very high levels of brightness which u cant reach if set manually to the maximum.. am I right ? Anyone owning the two devices tested this and found the same results?? And how is the whites on the note 3 in general compared to the lg g2..?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Incep:
I think the LG G2 display is great. Max brightness is pretty bright, I can't see why anyone would want it even brighter. Auto brightness levels are a pain, but that can easily be fixed by using Lux to manage it. If you measure quality in brightness alone, you may be better off buying a flashlight.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woof123:
Even if it was brighter,tell me that again after 4-5 months.When the oled will lose a very significant amount of its brightness...and will probably have a very nasty burn in,that will stay there forever for the used to see lol
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rayan:
That is absolutely right!!!

AMOLEDS hate full brightness and full, direct UV light exposure!!! (Sun, office lamps, tanning beds, etc) LOL

IPS all the way for me!!!

Cheers!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan37tz:
I have both the Note 3 and the G2. The Note 3 does indeed get brighter at maximum brightness, it actually becomes painful on the eyes because of the contrast ratio of the AMOLED screen. It's so bright it hurts to look at it in the dark. The IPS screen on the G2 is much more pleasant to look at in my opinion, that's one of the reason I use it as my daily phone.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phyba:
My wife has a g2 while I have the note 3. The note 3 goes into a extra brightness mode in direct sunlight and is clearly more visible than the g2 outside in direct sunlight. This mode only occurs in direct sunlight on auto brightness and can not be turned up that high manually.

While the g2 screen is nice, I do notice that the viewing angles are not as good and the scree don't seem as crisp and clear as my note. Still a great screen
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anonymousss:
Well thanks all, this means the note at first is better specially under direct sunlight or so but it has the burn in issue and so on, so I guess I'll stick with the g2 then

I only asked this question because I feel that blacks are much more pleasant to look at on the note than the grey blacks on the g2
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phyba:
The burn in shouldn't be an issue. Only phones u will see burn in on are display units ramped up to full brightness and stuck on the home screen for hours and hours.

I had a galaxy s3 for almost 2 years and it had no burn in and the screen was still bright. Oled has come a long way since the first amoled screens.

People say the same thing about plasma but plasma has a superior picture vs lcd...my plasma in my bedroom is 3 years old and stays on sportscenter and I have no burn in
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiguy99:
Big fat no. Put them side by side and judge for yourself. I did when i bought this phone and saw the difference for myself.

Note 3 is bigger yes but not better...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garywojdan81:
All of my last devices have been amoled until the g2. Had burn in issues on 2 galaxy fascinates, and blotchy low-light darks on 3 droid razrs. And yes, amoleds do degrade in color/contrast over time. Not a big deal if you swap out or jump up devices frequently, but if you go the contract term it gets noticeable.

What swung me back to LCD was the purchase of a nexus 10 over the summer. The HD LCD blew me away & convinced me of how far this technology has come.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cyko.Tech67:
i have no problem at all viewing my g2 screen in direct sunlight on 100% brightness... the g2s screen is alot better in my opinion i just wish the blacks were alittle darker :P
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] butthurtlocker:
My roomate has the Note 3. I made him sit with me and do a bunch of browsing battles and gaming/app opening challenges. Throughout these "competetive" tests I notices that the Note 3 does definetly have a brighter state on auto and max brightness, but I found that my G2 had a clearer, brighter minimum brightness (which is what I always leave Marge on). Yes my G2's name is marge. But that Amoled screen is just a contrast machine and I think that helps elude to the brighter screen we see, since it's blacks are so deep. But as for an overall screen? G2 all the way. Edge to edge, excellent viewing angles for what I need and amazing color reproduction that the Note 3 couldn't quite match. Hope this helps anyone!

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M_Shaaban:
I used to have Nexus devices, and this is my first HTC device ever. I just bought HTC One 32GB international from Amazon. So I'm learning the basics here. I've been hearing a lot terms like MID/CID, what do these mean? What do these stand for? What are their significance or rule? Where to find those? Thanks in advance!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
MID = Model ID

CID = Carrier ID

you can find them using "fasbtoot getvar all" in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M_Shaaban:
What's the significance? Is there something to be understood or to be categorized accordingly? Thanks in advance!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
Don't know exactly how to put it, but here goes:

MID = Model ID = Hardware

you can check this, for the differences: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2223236

CID = Carrier ID = origin of your phone (manufactured by HTC, but sold by a specific company), for example HTC__001 is an unbranded international version, H3G__001 is a UK Three version, CWS__001 is a US AT&T version. a simple search would show you this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2445289

As to the significance, it really depends what you mean, if you're just asking which one gets updates, which doesnt, then the simple answer is usually the unbranded first, then the carrier specific ones. Reason: HTC releases the unbranded updates, whereas the carrier specific ones, need to go through the carrier first (in case they want to add or remove something), and then get's released.

EDIT: so far the trend for updates has been: Taiwan first (HTC), then US Developer edition, then unbranded, then carrier specific.

With S-Off, you can change both MID and CID.

Hope that helped a little, if it did hit the thanks button.

I have bought the unlocked international version from Amazon. I want to convert to the developer edition to receive updates faster, would that be possible and ensure the future OTA updates, or I'd have to flash the updates manually every time after conversion?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
If you're s-off and set the correct MID (fasboot oem writemid PN07xxxxx) and CID (fasboot oem writecid xxxxxxxx), and have stock rom + stock recovery, etc.

you'll receive OTAs without problems; now and in the future.

PS: xxxx are just placeholders you'll have to fill them what you want them to be.

Can I unlock, s-off, root, correct MID and CID without installing custom recovery -while keeping the stock recovery?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
why bother trying? if you are going for the developer edition, then s-off, change MID and CID, and when you run the RUU.EXE:

http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_ul_jb_50_brightstarus_wwe_1-29-1540-16-exe/

everything will be 100% Developer Edition (stock rom, recovery, hboot, etc) and you can receive all the OTAs

KEEP S-OFF.

Can I root without having to install a custom recovery?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SaHiLzZ:
No, you can not. You can however root using custom recovery, and then install stock recovery to overwrite the custom recovery. Why do you want stock recovery however?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M_Shaaban:
Good to know it's possible to install stock recovery to overwrite the custom one. I want stock recovery to receive future OTA updates without problems.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SaHiLzZ:
Then remember to unroot as well to get OTA.

Usually OTA and root don't go together.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
Hi [MENTION=3525160]SaHiLzZ[/MENTION], i just checked the asserts in an OTA, and i THINK, he can keep root shouldn't affect the OTA, but he may loose root after reboot and need to flash it again.

[MENTION=3912288]M_Shaaban[/MENTION], once you start receiving OTAs, I recommend you "download & install later", then take a copy of the OTA to your PC, and extract "stock recovery" (recovery.img in firmware.zip), to keep a record of stock recoveries on your PC, when you need to flash it back.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M_Shaaban:
Isn't it possible to extract the recovery.img from the htcdev files - RUU files?

On a side note, HTC One is not listed in the devices on htcdev.com for unlocking the bootloader?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
Not sure the RUUs are there, but then again, I never checked.

Personally, I would keep the OTAs on my PC, cause they also include complete and signed firmware packages. (just something i personally would do, everybody has their own way)

You have to select "other" (or whatever it's named).

I suggest you read the thread on upgrading better. A lot of upgrade 'packages' do not contain an extROM because a lot of us just what to customise it anyway.

Radio.nbf - the radio rom

ms_.nbf - the extended rom

There is a good SE ExtROM in this thread (by me):

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] TheFixItMan:
if phone hot reboots chances are the wrong public ids have been used or smali been implimented wrongly

remember you have to compile and decompile the new apk to add the public ids to your public.xml

in most cases you have to remove the leading 0 when adding public ids to smali - so 0x0123456 will become 0x123456 when added to smali

also with this part remove the part in red and change the part in blue to your public ids that relate to the part marked in red in your public.xml

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JennyLew:
Hey Guys,

I'm home for the holidays and my brain damaged brother decided it would be a good idea to see if my cell phone was water proof and accidentally dropped it in my parents pool. He said he will buy a replacement as soon as he earns enough money, but based on his current spending habits, which is primarily focused on beer and girls with room temperature I.Q's, I'm not going to hold my breath.

To make a long story short, he gave me an old phone of his to use until such time as he wins the lottery, or Jesus comes. It's an HTC D2 with the ungodly Windows 6.5 I believe. It looks like it will work for awhile, but I'd rather not use Windows. My brother came out of his drunken stupor long enough to direct me to this website, and told me to ask about upgrading the phone to Android. Due to his beer clouded vision and limited language skills, it seems he is unable to do this himself.

Is there an easy way to upgrade this phone to Android? I read through quite a few of the posts here, but found so many confusing options and variations I don't know what to do. I know most of you guys can build a nuclear reactor with a paper clip and chewing gum, but are there any instructions that even a Psych major can follow? I'm not stupid, but I'm not and engineer either. I'm going back to college soon, so I would like something stable that I don't constantly have to fiddle with.

I found something that shows how to install Android "Ice Cream Sandwich". The video is a bit dated, so I don't know if it's the easiest way. I want something simple to use. Is "Ice Cream Sandwich" recent enough for me to use my favorite apps? Is it stable? Is this even the best way to do it? It seems a bit difficult to follow and I don't know if I can even do it. The website here won't let me post the link, so I doctored it up a bit.

makeuseof.com/tag/install-android-ice-cream-sandwhich-htc-hd2-minutes

Sorry for the long post, and especially if I put anyone off with all "my brother" rants, but he just dropped my phone in the pool about 2 hours ago and I really needed it while I'm home. I tried finding help somewhere else at first, but received a message from a guy, who makes my brother look like a genius, saying he'd help me if I sent him a naked picture of myself. Uh, thanks, but no thanks.

I only have about a week left to stay here, so if I don't get the phone working by the time I leave I guess I can use the Windows phone. Any help or insights would be welcome.

Thanks!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
Too. Many. Details ..... But I guess it is worth it against who might flame you for not "searching" and "trying stuff on your own" :p

For people who just want to know the question, it's highlighted in red.

To be honest, you WILL have to do some reading before installing Android on that device. Depending on whether you want to keep WinMo or not and on what matters the most to you.

But as to not confuse you, I'm going to assume you want Android on NAND using MAGLDR bootloader.

Follow this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1044830 which should guide you through the whole process.

I can also assume that ICS should be fine for you, but if it doesn't suit you, feel free to try others. But ICS should be recent enough for most apps.

Follow that thread, and if you get stuck you may come back here and tell us where you got stuck and why and we will try to help.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisingrassia:
Hi everyone -

Have been on here quite frequently for my SGSIIE4GT, but it's been a while since I've posted. I'm in the market for a new phone, and I think I will be going with the Note 3. However, boy am I confused on which model is the right fit for me. I could really use some help and a little insight, as the reps at AT&T, TMO, VZN, and Samsung Live Chat haven't been able to answer my questions.

I'm currently with Sprint, and looking to leave. I would be using the Note 3 near San Francisco 90-95% of the time, but I do travel 6-7x/yr to Asia, Canada, UK, and South America. I'm pretty sure I will buy the phone on no contract and use with TMO, AT&T, Straight Talk, or AIO. I've been reading some issues with "region locks" though that scare me a bit, not sure if this is still an issue with the models sold in the US.

From what I can see, ATT, TMO, VZN, and Sprint all have their own "versions" of the phone. ATT and TMO obviously use the same cell tech (GSM), so I don't understand why they have different versions. The VZN and Sprint versions would run on CDMA, which as I understand, won't do me any good if I travel overseas due to no CDMA elsewhere. Then there's the int'l unlocked versions, and the Developer edition. But then I heard just yesterday that the VZN Note 3 works on GSM (somehow, haven't figured that out though).....is there a SIM card slot in that version? After all that, I guess what I'm looking for is this which I could use some insight on:

Want to use the phone:

-with LTE using ATT/TMO/ST/AIO/VZN

here

in the U.S.

-want to buy off contract

-do not want bloatware...so do I need to buy unlocked?

-need to have it functional still if I go

out of the country

and purchase a local SIM card (some people ask me exactly which service I use overseas, and I don't have an answer b/c I haven't done this yet, my Sprint phone didn't even give me the option)

Which model is appropriate for that type of use? I read on Amazon that TMO's version is the best one out there b/c the ATT model doesn't work on TMO, but TMO's works on TMO

and

ATT.....

Thanks so much for your time. Samsung has really confused me with this phone, and could really just use some suggestions. Thanks again!

Do you know if the Note 3 Developer Edition for Verizon, which works on their LTE network, comes with a SIM card slot that I can utilize if I go overseas? Boy, that would be ideal. I checked out the manual (http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/co...ual_MI9_F5.pdf) and it shows a SIM slot for the phone, no?

I was told by one of the writers at Droid Life that the Verizon N3 can be used on GSM. I thought that was impossible.

I seriously apologize if these are elementary questions, I truly do appreciate any insight. Just don't want to make a huge financial mistake.
