I know people with a pda with GPS receiver built in, like the Yakumo or the Mio168. It's great that you don't have to bother with charging a bluetooth adaptor or getting connection and it's more compact.

http://www.pdashop.nl/product/11712

At the back you have a small metal plate that you can turn up as the gps receiver.

It would be great, an XDAIIi like PDA Phone including an integrated gps receiver and wifi! The receiver is above at the back (where the lens of the xdaIIi is), i would gladly give up the camera with poor quality for this built in receiver. I just downloaded pugs camera rom update with better cam, but nothing compares a real cam with flash. So better off with a built in gps receiver I find.

I wonder if there are any PDA phones like the XDAIIi with wifi & gps receiver integrated yet? Maybe a new future Qtek? Would be great!

This would be the only pda phone wich I would give up my xdaIIi.

Anyone knows this dream pda-phone exists?

[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] Innovator:
You forgot integrated WIFI (not on MIO A0701)

Yeah, but it hasn't wifi integrated, still have to buy an external sdio wifi card. I'm comming from an XDAII to XDAII especially cause wifi was integrated, now gps is integrated but no wifi.

Still no all in one solution... And i think this will not be so flexible like xdaIIi with all the rom upgrades, tools and forum.

[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] Innovator:
Nice try, but this is no PDA Phone!

This is only a PDA with WIFI & GPS integrated but no GSM functionallity like the XDAIIi.

See it's hard to find, or still have to come out yet

Keep on searching ;)

[Moto X General] homemadehitshow:
Haven't spent much time researching but time is short before Monday' sale/

Why would I want the developer edition over a standard designed phone. I'm just not quite understanding what the advantage of the developer version is. I do want to root if that's a factor.

Thanks.
[Moto X General] chaoslimits:
Two things:

1. You get to keep your warranty if you unlock the bootloader

2. You don't have to worry about root exploits for FUTURE OTA releases; current software already has root.

Other than that, they are identical devices except that you can customize the regular version.
[Moto X General] d14gvn:
Developer edition has root by default out of the box?
[Moto X General] chaoslimits:
No you don't have root out of the box. With developer edition, you can unlock the bootloader, flash a new recovery, and install su (root) using fastboot. You can do it at any time.

For the regular version, you need to root using Jcase's exploit (in the Development forum) which is also relatively easy to do.
[Moto X General] d14gvn:
But with regular version you can flash TWRP recovery too and get SU with that, I see no difference in there.

I think the difference is in when you unlock your bootloader, developer edition doesn't lost its warranty
[Moto X General] chaoslimits:
For now yes. If we get another OTA and no one makes a root exploit, the regular version may be stuck without root. If you care that much about having root, the dev edition is most likely the better choice. If you're not too worried about not having root in future OTAs (who knows if we'll actually get another major OS bump) the I guess the custom versions are going to be more interesting to you.
[Moto X General] d14gvn:
Thank you for that information. :good:
[Moto X General] amathophobia:
Dev edition is also more "figure proof" whereas after motorola stop supporting the phone you can still get android updayes so long as there are devs building them.
[Moto X General] Deleted member 4488333:
Thanks for the info guys. I'm really considering upgrading from my Nexus 4. I would have preferred a different color but I think I'd go with the developer edition. I'm getting ready to go through the forums but how do you guys feel the developer support is compared to the Nexus 4? I use CWM recovery and like CM and AOSPA a lot. Does performance take a hit on custom ROMs compared to stock which is from my understanding highly optimized?
[Moto X General] 1ManWolfePack:
If you don't know why you need the developer edition, then you don't need the developer edition.

Hi,

So I just got this Acer Iconia A1-810 Tablet, rooted it (using http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2240029&highlight=reset), and everything was hunky dory except for my Wifi kept turning itself off. I saw someone suggest doing internal-external SD swap. My Wifi issues haven't come back but the swap didn't work so I tried to switch it back. Now when I go to Settings > Storage I get "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped." If they are switched I can access but it says my only regular internal storage is available and there is no SD card mounted. I tried a factory reset and it still doesn't work. I skimmed through the thread I linked above to see if I could find some answers but either I missed it or other people haven't had this issue... Any help would be appreciated. :(

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] kevinrubio1:
How do I prevent apps from running constantly in the background? And by apps I mean Samsing link, S Health, Samsung Watch On, and Samsung Apps

I'm not rooted, but when I was rooted I used greenify to disable them but now I can't. I'm on 4.3. Also, I'm not looking to uninstall or disable the app, just prevent it from running in the background.

Thanks in advance
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xdapowerapps:
Not sure. I either use Greenify or Titanium backup to freeze apps but am not aware of nonroot solutions :/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] kevinrubio1:
Thanks anyways, I just disabled most of them since I dont really use them
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xdapowerapps:
You are welcome. Just curious, what is the reason you don't root your phone? The benefits outweigh the negatives for me lol. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] kevinrubio1:
Well I wanted to receive OTA updates! But when I was rooted I didn't really use it, what do you use root for?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xdapowerapps:
Rooting simply allows you to gain super user and control every single aspect of your phone. You can disable battery hogging services to removing preinstalled apps to customizing everything about your phone. Think of your phone as a demo app and root is the premium key that unlocks all the features of the full retail version. ^.^
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
This.

You can also uninstall SuperUser really easily (there is literally a button in the app settings to do just that). That will unroot your phone and let you get OTA's again in seconds. Then just just have to re-root when you're done the OTA.

This, of course, is if you JUST have the SuperUser app installed as part of your root package. If you have a custom recovery installed that's a different story. You'd have to remove that too.

But if you just root with a method like Chainfire's Auto Root, you will have the stock rom, stock recovery, and can easily ditch the SUperuser app so you can get an OTA whenever it comes out. Since they dont' come out super often, it's not in the way at all. It's not like you'd have to do that every week.

Just some suggestions! Hope they are useful.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] kevinrubio1:
Can you link me to chainfires auto root, I can't seem to find it in the development section
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] KCRic:
Whatever happened around here? I would have thought someone would have informed the OP that those apps are not "running". Yes they are taking up RAM but this isn't Windows either. The way m we memory is handled is vastly different and in some ways, opposite of conventional Windows thinking. They are not using power either.

I never freeze an app or force kill it unless it causes an issue. If I don't use it - root, uninstall, be happy. I only say all of that so the OP didn't pickup the bad habit of killing apps to regain RAM. Its unnecessary to say the least.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Karakoram2:
Link for chain fire root: http://wccftech.com/guide-root-tmobile-galaxy-s4-sghm919-stock-kernel-chainfire/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Chunko:
Another thing is that some apps will, by default, execute when opening certain web based applications (FF, Chrome, Internet). Same goes when enabling Wifi.

It does get tedious disabling them all the time if you're someone who wishes to have your device quiet and clean.

I just decided to uninstall them all via Titanium backup...Most of them you can download via Play if you ever wanted them back.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] itsfredo:
So, some versions of gapps seem to be compatible with ART, and others are not. I'm wondering: if I find a gapps build (example: pa_gapps from 11/11/13) that is originally compatible with ART, is it safe to update my apps from the google play store after I load up art? Or am I supposed to keep all my apps the same?

In other words, does updating my apps in the app store change the version/compatibility of the gapps I flash with a rom? Is having the latest gapps build the same as having the most updated version of the apps from the google play store?

I hope I'm making sense :cyclops:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] hassy786:
Hi,

I have a Xperia T running Jelly Bean 4.1.2 and I really think it is time to update. There is a custom rom out for the Xperia T called "CM10.1 Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean Custom ROM" and there is a Kit-Kat custom rom out for the Xperia T called "Android 4.4 KitKat Omni" I want to update to either one of these, Which do you think is the best for PERFORMANCE. or which is the BEST custom rom out there for the Xperia T?

I have seen many custom roms including pacmans rom, cm10.1 and the 4.4 kitkat custom rom. There is a issue with the 4.4 kitkat which is "HDMI out" .. I dont think this will have a big impact on me as I do not really have a HDMI out port on my phone? and seriously have no idea what it is aswell. Can anyone tell me what is the best custom rom out there for the Xperia T! Will appreciate it! :)

Thanks
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Mad Marty:
Just remember that if you want to run CM or Omni, you'll need an unlocked bootloader.

What the best custom rom is, is a matter of personal preference. X will say rom Y, because it had feature Z and A will say rom B, because it is Android version C. So, generally we suggest to read the respective threads to learn what features a rom has and to check whether people experience e.g. bugs or other problems and then decide which one to install. A good place to start reading about flashing and what you'll need is the All-in-One thread.

You'll probably end up flashing other roms anyway when you get hit by the virus ;):p

Oh, and if you don't know what HDMI out is, you probably don't use it, so you don't have to worry about it ;) just search of you encounter concepts you're not sure about.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Maps is a system app. If you don't want to root you won't be able to replace the apk. I'm also not sure if it would work, maybe it would, idk
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattrb:
You need to root your phone and then you can use a root explorer to discover where the map app is in the system directory of the phone. Save the app on the sdcard directory, reboot, Then you can just install the app if you have the apk. Just so you know you'll still get upgrades from Google but I believe you need to put the app back in the system directory.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amsky145:
Does anyone have experience running Note 2 Custom ROMS and can provide comparisons to running Note 3 rooted after pruning all the bloat?

Trying to decide between the two and was looking for some straight comparisons, such as snappiness, visual quality in graphical programs/games, and possibly s-pen recognition/accuracy.

One particular thing I'm interested to know is how hooking up to a smart dock compares between the two, what resolutions they output and any interesting performance comparisons with that specifically.

I asked some similar questions at this post, but this is much less AT&T specific.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frostmore:
i say its best you try out both and decide which one u prefer.

when i got my first fone(the glorious htc HD2) i played around with their original/modded roms vs cm/aosp and i found i prefer CM6(latest back then) because of its ease of use and minimalistic looks.

it took a bit of getting use to but once i did,i found i love CM more as the days went by.

I have the note 2 and note 3 and had them since their early launch.used both TW and CM.i still prefer the simplistic nature of CM.and TW cannot even come close to it.

Plus,with a customised rom,u get rid of all that samsung bloatware and free your ram & memory so the phone can perform better and have more space to store things.

that being said,there are pros and cons between the 2,the best is you give each one a go.

My opinion,even though i have the note 3 now,i still use my note 2 with CM 10.1.3 because its rock stable and minimalistic.if i cannot put cm in my note 3,i'd probably sell it off since its practically worthless with all its hardware glory but useless TW rom.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amsky145:
Thanks for the response. So even though the note 3 is supposed to be blazing fast at everything compared to the note 2 in terms of specs, you find yourself using the note 2 more often because of the custom ROM making it that much more easy to use, familiar, snappy etc.? The more you can elaborate on a comparison the better, especially with custom ROM + note2 vs note3.

I'm really looking for like you responded, tons of opinions on performance considerations between the two. I've tried tons of custom ROMs on the android phones i've used in the past, and I'm hesitant to try one on the note 2 that I got at best buy recently because I'm seriously considering just getting a note 3 for the performance alone and being done with it. I really like the size of the notes and the s-pen functionality in particular so all it comes down to at this point is whether giving up custom ROMs for the note3 is worth it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frostmore:
i use note 2 more becoz i like CM and not TW.Stock TW runs alot of useless apps on the background.eating up my ram,cpu and battery.not only does that affect performance(battery life,snappiness etc),its irritates the hell out of me when i see apps i dun use running in the background.and the interface on TW is pretty bloated,i usually change CM launcher to Nemus launcher for minimalistic look and performance...again customisability.

if you want a detailed comparison,i can't give you. but what i can let you know is the following:

-note 3 specs are better note 2 obviously.

-note 3 on TW performs abt the same as note 2 on CM.its snappy,no lag issues.spen fuctionality is limited on CM and full on TW(for obvious reason).so imagine if you put CM on note 3,it will be the ****z.

-note 3's battery life is on par with note 2 on CM.this is due mainly with kernel and rom issues since CM in minimalistic and running minimal apps in the background as compared to stock,unmodded TW on note 3.put CM or a modded TW in,note 3 will beat note 2 hands down.

-note 2 does not have knox,while note 3 has,that is a major crap every note 3 users are facing.this means,flashing customised rom or recovery will trip knox counter and will limit your note 3 to pretty much paper weight.

(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=47865015#post47865015)

-note 3 uses usb 3,that means faster charging and data transfer rate and its backward compatible with usb 2.a major improvement in my opinion and its not using some proprietary cables like crapple.

in all,i find the improvements on note 3 and note 2 are about 30-35%. except for a higher resolution,a slighty faster 4 core cpu,a slight better gpu, abt 1 gb more ram, and a bigger battery/screen.

compared that with a note to a note 2,the improvements are like almost 60% imo.

but its best to get new phones than old imo.coz when every one starts moving to newer model of phone,development for old ones will start to die.unless its the HD2..where it never dies.....lol.
