Definitely impressed by the g2 even 2 months later. ...
[G2 General] vr4_rider:
For people with custom roms, did you loose the stock features of the camera? For instance, did you loose the different camera modes like burst shot? I really like that feature to take pics of my dogs.
[G2 General] tobesedated:
Yes and that's one of the reasons I went back to stock... Stock and rooted
[G2 General] SomethingWild88:
I've been thinking about going back to stock as well because of all the features I miss. Mostly the text messages popping out
[G2 General] hasenbein1966:
Since there are all these mods and debloating possibilities available there really is no need to use a custom ROM - not only on the G2, but on many other devices as well. It's just a bit more work; but hey, isn't that part of the modding / flashing fun? :)
[G2 General] tobesedated:
I agree and it keeps the devices unique. I find that the phones become more generic. All the stuff is the same. You just might be able to change the color on one before the other catches up. Even from one device to the next, all the custom ROMs end up looking the same.

To be fair though, in a some cases

it is a definite benefit. I would never be running kitkat on my Note without a custom ROM. The battery improvements can be huge as well.

So I guess it's the device, benefits and good ole personal preferences. Regardless, isn't it wonderful to have the choice? And the hard work these people do to create these ROMs, for free, is amazing. Either way we're lucky.
[G2 General] player911:
Mines still stock rom. I did root, flash a few mods, and Xposed. Has all the features I want from a custom rom but several LG specific perks like Popup Calls, SplitView, Floating apps, etc.

Kit Kat vs jelly bean is a totally different animal. When I swapped over its immediately noticeable how much snappier the whole thing is
[G2 General] simorangkir_dcs:
You'll get bored eventually and will try aosp/cm rom. But with G2 there's always option to use both end whenever you want to :)

I already did and got bored with them because I have them on 3 other devices... One week and I was back to stock lol

Good to see another skyrocket owner over here! Seems that, at least 4 of us have seen the light of this device now.

mine is in the mail.... thanks for the different views on stock and modding....
[G2 General] rob ben:
So day 2 or 3 now. Took it to work today and battery lasted easily twice as long with very heavy use then my n4. I even ingressed and didn't need to charge it.

I'll hvae to look into the split screen mod, that would be pretty useful.

The ONLY irritating thing that I've not been able to simply fix is the volume for google now is the same volume adjustment for the keyboard. I like a nice quiet but audible keyboard and a loud voice with google now, I'm sure I'll figure out a way, but its not readily obviouious how.

I thought I'd end up rooting it the first day because I had the latest and gratest kit kat on the n4, but I've got no desire to do it. I'm sure I'll get board and do something different eventually. Just cant leave well enough alone.

I just picked up my n4 to copy the ringtones over to the g2, and what did I do? tried to turn it on looking for a button on the back. Already trained!

Seriously I think this is the sleeper phone of the year. I snickerd at my friends n5 today. I told him it was cute and it was a poser's development phone. I was only half way joking.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] oODani3lOo:
I've recently rooted and updated my phone to CM10.1 with JB 4.2.2. Was not quite pleased with the way the gallery changed. First, the videos I've downloaded went grey (only some appeared), the camera images and other camera videos are fine though, can't find my video without tapping one by one, I can't even see the names. also, was wondering if the update doesn't allow my videos to be viewed in the side unless I've turned on my rotation settings (which is quite annoying).

I found solutions like deleting inside .thumbnails folder , used busybox to allow permissions, clearing cache of my .com.android.gallery3d, rebooted my phone a lot, nothing works..

Can you guys help?

Here's what my gallery looks like:

Hi All,

I apologize if this has been covered elsewhere in the forum - but not for the lack of trying to find content on the subject. I have both the K-Jam (Wizard) & JasJar (Universal). I have the same problem on both devices; namely that ActiveSync always seems to pop up and is displayed as active in the Memory/MainMemory/Running Applications. Is there any way that this can be prevented? ActiveSync doesn't use that much memory - but it is a constant annoyance nonetheless. Any assistance will be appriciated. Thank you.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] vijay555:
forumxda: presumably you mean on the PDA, not PC.

You can use various task killers to kill ActiveSync. There are more involevd ways to actually stop it popping up after it's closed, but once it's out of memory, it shouldn't bother you much.

I think I wrote an app to kill a task by caption, so you could probably use that to kill AS every so often if you want.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] efjay:
forumxda, all you have to do is enter some dummy exchange server information and set the sync frequency to manual. Should sort it.

I asked my person of interest for the first time in my life. We met in a group discussion which went for 2 weeks and I had a liking for her from 1 month ago. When I asked, she was nice about it and said no and that we should stay friends. I shrugged it off and said OK, thanks for being nice.

The problem is that, I can't think of anything else now, I know that the world isn't ending just because 1 person rejected me. However I can not stop myself and it is turning me into a depressed wreck. How do you guys deal with it? What is your story?
[Off-topic] jRi0T68:
Every experience with a person of the opposite sex, whether friendship or romance, is a lesson to learn to prepare you for meaningful relationships later, such as marriage. Learn from it and move on. Remember, being friends with girls is good, because they have other friends who are girls, and may try to hook you up.

[Off-topic] Dirk:
You've had a strong mating reaction to a member of the opposite sex. Your body has released a flood of dopamine into your brain so you will feel vaguely sick and your appetite will be suppressed.

I suggest playing Counter Strike for twelve hours a day until your brain functions return to normal.
[Off-topic] heavy_metal_man:
I find distraction is the best reaction in this situation :) your mind will get over it with time, and not much else. So keep yourself busy while you wait! Play some games you've not played in a long time, (like counter strike as suggested above ;) ), or do you have any android projects you have always wanted to try like making a custom Rom, or beta test some non stable roms for some devs, I also recommend going for a long walk. It sounds to simple to make any difference but a long walk can give your mind a chance to rattle things out and come to terms with things :) lastly your right, the worlds not going to end for some girl, so don't beat yourself up about it :) your only human and we have good and bad experiences, just be glad that ones over ;)
[Off-topic] LoopDoGG79:
Listen to this man, he is wise beyond his years. I'm 34, and have had my share of rejection. I know it doesn't feel like it right now, but you will get over it. Just concentrate on you for the time being.
[Off-topic] Dirk:
When a study about love was carried out, scientists put subjects in an MRI scanner and looked to see what was going. They would show the subjects pictures of somebody they loved to see which areas of the brain were activated and then show them pictures of somebody they hated. The same areas of the brain were activated in both cases.

Right now you're suffering because of feelings of love for this girl, but when you start to hate her for rejecting you, the feelings that you have, and the reaction your brain has to it will be exactly the same. Either way it's angst and despair.

Love=Hate. Get your head around that!

[Off-topic] Dirk:
The OP did ask how people here deal with rejection, so perhaps one of you married guys could answer that? My understanding is that wives say no all the time! :laugh:

The tried and true method would be Alcohol of course. That's what guys usually turn to at these difficult times. To find out how that works, it's best to imagine the alcohol as Pac-Man running through your arteries, chomping away at all the nasty hormones until it's cleared all the levels. Once you're good and drunk all the hormones are gone, leaving you with a strange urge to eat a greasy lamb kebab, and a minging headache in the morning.
[Off-topic] LoopDoGG79:
I prefer to let her drink alcohol, and much away at her hormones, and hopefully get her to stop rejecting me. :D Of course, it could backfire depending on the time of the month and poor choice of words or actions on your part, which of course you know you did a week later in some random argument... You know what, a beer sounds good right now.....
[Off-topic] Archer:
Time *will* make it easier. Think back to anything else in your life that brought you down, from simple things like not being able to buy that brand new game you wanted because you didn't have enough cash, right through to the more serious things in life, like losing friends and/or family and suffering grief. Think about those things and how it felt like you'd never get over them (depending on the seriousness of whatever it is you're thinking of), and then think about how you feel about it now. You'll realise that things just do get better over time.

Incidentally, I personally wouldn't take the advice to drink through it. Alcohol lowers certain chemical levels in the brain for days after that regulate how you feel. You can do yourself serious damage that way and turn a temporary problem into clinical depression, not to mention the fact that relying on alcohol for anything is a recipe for disaster.
[Off-topic] zangetxu:
What is the real reason behind your depression

1- You were rejected

2- You cant be with her anymore, and i am pretty sure you can't be friends
[Off-topic] Dirk:
Hey, men have been drinking because of women since the dawn of time. It's why we invented the pub!

The OP isn't 'depressed', he has a sad. :rolleyes:
[Off-topic] Archer:
I know what you're saying, and I wasn't trying to be heavy or down on what you said, but without moderation it *can* become depression with the addition of alcohol, over long term. A few nights cutting loose is obviously a totally different thing though.

I've personally known people start off just a bit low and end up fully depressed because of alcohol. It's unfortunately a very slippery slope as it *does* make you feel better when you're drinking, but leaves you lower than you started for a few days afterwards, which can lead to another drink because, "Hey, it worked last time, right?" And rinse and repeat. Sad becomes depressed becomes clinically depressed, and that can last for life if not treated correctly.

Anyway, this is far too heavy and now I'm having a sad. There's always the old adage, that the easiest way to get over someone is to get under someone else :D
[Off-topic] Dirk:
And with that the OP gets the best solution to his problem! :good:

I wouldn't seriously encourage anyone to drink to resolve issues. I'm a teetotaller myself so i find crying into my cornflakes works best for me when i'm blue, or going down the gym and pumping iron for an hour or two. We'll go with the latter one as it sounds more manly!

hi i managed to update my tab to the latest firmware 4.0.4 . Previously it was already rooted and TWRP installed. I was thinking of rooting and backing up this build so from romtoolbox i boot into recovery mode (thinking that i will be seeing TWRP) But when boot i was shown the folllowing picture

since all of my buttons are not working (hence the reason installing TWRP ) i was ok fine lets reboot it via adb. therefore i run adb reboot and yet it still boots back to the same screen . Thinking i need to reverting all of the changes via odin i tried reboot download also does not work. reboot-bootloader also does not work. apprently i am stuck at this screen.

Right now i only have access to adb and is there any way i can recover from this?

many thanks again
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soryuu:
I'm assuming you were running some kind of custom rom with TWRP as your recovery before going to stock ICS. Essentially, flashing stock ICS overwrote the old TWRP.

To fix it, flash in TWRP again (its somewhere in the development section) via Odin.

EDIT: If you can't access download mode... Try push the TWRP .tar file via ADB

SGN2 N7100

Stock firmware N7100DXDLK5

Guys,

Will restoring first full backup work to get back efs.

I was on N7100DXDMF2 when I made my first backup.

Eventually was advised by DR.Ketan to make a efs backup which I did but lost all saved files on pc.

However I had kept the full backup on my usb pendrive minus the efs backup.

After a long time on 4.1.2 I wanted to try out 4.4 kitkat at which time the imei/sn/service state and the mobile

network state were all intact.

Then tried out SupremeBean 4.3 and I think it was still okay since I had made some calls using said rom.

Then I opted to go back to 4.1.2 and all hell broke loose.

Lost mobile net.state/service state.Imei number 0049.....and the sn is different.

Do I need to flash back the original firmware i.e. N7100DXDMF2,Root,download a custom recovery like TWRP and use the old backup file.

Funny thing is, I could not find that firmware anywhere.And the stock recovery is being stubborn of not allowing other recovery to overwrite.

Maybe this has been answered a 100 times over but I think situations differ.Why, cos I still have a corrupted imei number and a serial number which is not far off from the original.

Any aid be much appreciated.
