[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
I was hoping for a thread like this :good::laugh:

I generally use AOSP roms and Xposed. I have been quite partial towards these three modules but mostly the first two:

1) XhaloFloatingWindow: I like Paranoid Android's Halo and I love AOSP, but not every AOSP rom comes with Halo. Since the AOSP rom I use does not include Halo, I use this module to enable it to a certain degree. The module dev is amazingly responsive to requests and in the short time since I started using this, it has gone from just enabling window pops to allowing customizable and resizable window popups, a title bar to maximize/minimize/close the window, window snapping to left/right/top/bottom of your display, whitelist or blacklist to decide which apps open in Halo popup, and many other features. Even though I do not use features like window snapping or resizing of window popups, the fact that it has expanded from a single use to so much more has made this module truly impressive. This module works best with AOSP and you may have issues on TouchWiz.

Sidenote: This is not an Xposed module, however, the app Floating Notifications allows me to have notification bubbles akin to Halo. What this means is that, instead of pulling down my notification bar to check my notifications, I can view them on screen regardless of the app I am in (or only in user specified apps) and interact/dismiss them at will. Beginning in JB 4.2.2, Google introduced something called Notificationlistenerservice API which allows apps to read and dismiss notification(s) without the user actively opening their notification tray. By using an app such as Floating Notifications (or a substitute) I can view my notifications while using whichever app I am currently in, tap the notification bubble which will open into a XHalo-enabled small window, interact with that notification, and close it.

2) Greenify: this module helps force apps to hibernate. I find that it helps reduce wakelocks which theoretically will not clutter up your favorite battery monitoring app (like BetterBatteryStats or Wakelock Detector) and will give you a little extra boost in battery life. I use it specifically for Google Search cuz in my daily usage, it has the most insane number of wakelocks of all my apps. I can't say that my battery life is miles better, it might only be 20 minutes better than without Greenify, however I have fewer instances where my battery has drained significantly and unbeknownst to me.

3) App Settings: this module allows you to edit the DPI of specific apps. I use Chrome Beta and it only removed the address bar as you start to scroll down. I prefer to have it in true full-screen like the AOSP browser (which removes the status bar) so I use App Settings to force Chrome Beta to do so. App Settings allows you to force portrait only apps into landscape however I find this to be hit or miss on the Verge app which is my only experience with a portrait-restricted app.

Do you really need "Multiple widgets" any more if I'm on TW 4.3?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
Well I do. I like having the quick camera access by swiping my lock screen because I use a pin lock. Also its the only way to add a 3rd party lock screen widget and I love the cLock app.
[LG Optimus Black] thyagorct3:
Hello guys, since I've tested some version of higher than 4.1 android, I have problems with the battery, I'm currently using the stock version (ICS), but the only ones that work with a good battery life is ICS and JB - 4.1

I'm sure it could not be any app I have installed, because even when I finish installing the ROM, the battery dies in a ludicrous speed!

I did a little test, with the phone idle for 2 minutes will be 1 percent of the battery, or the battery dies in less than 2 hours, making it unusable.

I took some pictures of the screen in the settings of the battery.

Please, HELP ME ! :silly:

Does anyone know the best rom that would be the closest thing to the original lg ui? With all or at least most of the features like knock on. i actually like the phone and the software it comes with so id like to keep it the same i just need to root it to improve my battery life. And one that makes the battery life much better, right now mine is terrible it drains for no reason at all. And if you could provide the links for where to download them that would be greatly appreciated!

Go with StockMOD rom and StockMOD kernel.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leomd333:
All of the Roms have knock on, it is implemented into the LG kernel. :good:
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fromc2m:
Where can i download those? are they stable? Will the camera be the lg camera?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
no such thing as best rom, nor kernel. not only will every device react differently to every rom/kernel but also all our needs differ, so does our usages. best way for you to find the best rom for your phone and for your needs is to try out as many as possible. when you find your pbones and your best rom, you will know it.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:
Not mean to be rude or disrespect but I would go ahead and give you some advice

1. Question like "which is best ROM" will be or tends to be deleted pretty quick. Not sure whether XDA rule or not but no ROM comparison allowed. This best vs other best is a type of comparison that could lead to argument.

2. There is no BEST ROM. Each people has their own "best" ROM which suitable most for their use. My best ROM is not necessarily your best ROM at all.

3. Based on what you said, what make you think rooting and installing other ROMs will make your phone's battery better? Blindly assume custom ROM will have better on this or better on that is WRONG.

4. Some of our members have 8 hrs on-screen time within total 2 or 3-day run time. Some disable everything, some enable everything and they're all bone-stock LG ROM.

No one stops you from flashing ROM but just bear in mind those info.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fromc2m:
Alright thanks for the advice, i just joined yesterday. Whats the difference between stock based rom, and AOSP based rom?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:
stock-based ROM is custom ROM that based on the stock ROM. It looks pretty much the same (same GUI, same framework, ....) with vastly enhancements.

AOSP-based ROM is like vanilla ROM, very close to untamed Android ROM.

Put it this way, Android (or Google) create its ROM, it's AOSP ROM. Purely.

Then mfg such LG, HTC, Sammy, ... take that ROM and create their own GUI on top of it. So Sammy has TouchWiz, LG has ..... whatever they call, HTC has Sense, Motorola has Blurr, .....

Then come the providers such AT&T, Verizon, .... They load ton of bloatware on top of it.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madasalizard:
Yes they are stable and pretty much stock, with just improved performance and battery. What variant of phone do you have?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ApriliaM3:
So just a few points seeing as you're new here:

1. Question threads should be created in the Q&A forum... If you're asking a question, post it there.

2. We don't allow "Best ROM" threads... the reasons have already been explained to you.

3. Your questions are some of the most basic and don't require the creation of a new thread... You just need to read.

Thread moved and closed.

I hesitate to upgrade to one of the new AKU2 Roms. A2DP is not in, thus I want to be sure that I get some bang for the bucks :-)

Currently I've got the ROM from button (thanks a lot) installed:

http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=37980

It's quite responsive, boot time around 50-55s (SPL, IPL - 1.01; GSM - 1.12.10; OS - 1.5.4.2)

Can anyone provide a comparision regarding speed and responsiveness? Btw, my device is/was the O2 XDA Mini S.

Re: ROM from button (1542) vs new AKU2 Roms - mainly perform

I used the same set of ROMs you wrote. I think this is the best combination for performance and reliability. If you do not want to use Push mail do not upgrade to AKU2 ROM. There is no performance improvement.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] PalCE:
I was with Button ROM for 2 months and then I decide to upgare 2.17 ROM.

The best of Button ROM ( in my Dopod 838)

- unprotected Ext ROM: play with your ext ROM.

- Run fast and very stabe.

- Can change Splash Image.

The ungly of Button ROM (in my Dopod 838)

- Screen align always go wrong after few hour of use

- Keyboard is not so good
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] pcdoc:
I felt the new ROM to be sligtly quicker compared to the custom ROM but most of all the wifi is connecting much more predictably with the 2.17 ROM

I am now with the new Aku2 Rom too, feels good.

With new rom, can not modify Ex rom (Ex rom automatic empty if have any editions)

Can not change splash image

Just wondering if anyone has gotten GTA San Andreas, and if so, what are your current graphical settings. The phone can handle everything at max, but there is a bit of slowdown that occurs in several areas (especially when driving) when I do this. So can others share their settings.

Do I still need to flash the fix tethering zip for R3Ds 5.0 rom? do I need to download a wifi tether app or do I use the stock hotspot app? Also has anyone used it and know that they didnt get charged etc? Sorry for the noob questions this is my first samsung device and I noticed's the development for it is way diff from Motorola devices
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mike-9254:
I myself am kinda of where you arein the smarts of things. You definatly need to goto beans original 4.3 post and there is a file in bold there thst says to flash via odin. This is what i ended up doing and flashed everything else via philz.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dillonorden:
I did that already. I got the rom running perfect besides a few hiccups randomly. I just want to get a wifi tether deal going. I still have my unlimited data and I always downloaded a wifi tether app and r3ds 4.3 I believe is where he said u had to flash the tether fix. I went ahead and flashed the tether fix and now idk what im suppose to use to use my mobile hotspot
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jcollier:
The tether fix turns on Verizon provisioning check, so you can use the built in mobile hotspot app.

hi there guys. I am a practising noob. I am facing the same problem. Tried different PCs and cables.

when i attempt to go into recovery, my screen goes grey with horizontal lines across. I am able to get into download but cannot go any further.

I had Omega Rom v22 which was 4.3 installed and one day it froze on the logo screen. i turned it off and put it back on. no luck. Kies keeps trying to connect but doesn't recognise it.

now on the downloading screen, im displaying,

CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: No

CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official

SYSTEM STATUS: Custom

Also this phone was bought through ebay and the warranty has expired, on top of that, some how it was imported from UAE, but i was led to believe it was an UK product because i bought it from a UK seller. silly me lol.

Guys i want to thank you in advance with whatever help you can offer me. i have withdrawl symptoms without my phone.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ghorrocks28:
I have a sprint GS4 that was unlocked for international sim use because I am spending some time in london. I bought a sim card on the 3 network when here. I have really good voice coverage almost all the time but I have really spotty data coverage. It will be connected and then suddenly disconnect and not reconnect almost as if I dont have any data coverage. Sometimes when I change mobile network settings around it'll come back but there's no certain fix to the problem. I am wondering if this is a known issue, and if there is a solution/if i should move to another network/get a new phone(which would be my last option if i only really had to). Looking for any advice/suggestions.

[HTC One X] a.broken.star:
So guys finally its official

:

HTC OneX and OneX + will not receive any further updates.

Its officially announced by HTC now.

"We can confirm that the HTC One X and One X+ will not receive further Android OS updates beyond Android 4.2.2 with Sense 5. We realize this news will be met with disappointment by some, but our customers should feel confident that we have designed both devices to be optimized with our amazing camera and audio experiences. -HTC"

Update: the only HTC One X variant that will be updated to Android 4.3 is the HTC EVO 4G LTE on Sprint.

The guys at pocketnow mentioned it too. Kinda sad but I don't care that much as I would use CM11 instead of the Sense KitKat anyways. :D

But this just confirmed what I expected and so this will definitely be my last HTC device. Too bad I liked the build quality.

Nexus 5 here I come <3
[HTC One X] and313:
Well. Its a quad core it could not handle android 4.4. Wait cm is running great. Well they would need a big team to update to kk. Wait thomy updated to cm kk all by himself.

All these just proves that htc did not learn anything. thought they could be it you know the company that cares trying to give out the best for the lowest price and keep it updated as long as possible. Instead they are just like everybody else.

My dad bought a samsung tv today. It could not run the youtube app no matter what. I called samsung and they said it is not a problem from their side but from the developers of the app. Ok so f off and tnx for false advertisement (for 2 months). Then the wifi would not work. Called them again they said if it isnt 5m from the router (visual distance) it wont work. Which actually means hey you have a really crappy wifi chip so thats how we protect ourselves so we dont need to replace it.

Dont know where im going with it? I think that if we dont stand up to the industry and demand changes like i dont know a htc xda program for example or everyone slaps ceo of samsung for everytime youtube wont start, we are going to end up in a ditch from where we will not be able to come out. For christ sake i cant even connect a htc phone to a samsung tv anymore. And that should be normal???

Sorry bad day big rant but i am worried.
[HTC One X] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
f#cking nvidia doesn't support it anymore...htc would update...the htc evo 4g lte is getting it...strange that the xl won't get it even when it has the snapdragon :o but hm...will still try to get htc one ...or even the one+/one²
[HTC One X] and313:
Then why thomy can update to kk and htc cant? I know there is a lot of paperwork and everything else (nvidias bull****) but... Common
[HTC One X] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
the OEM will only update if the SoC manufacturer is updaeting and still supporting the SoC...so because nvidia won't update our kernel htc wouldn't update too ...and to fix most issues we need newer kernel from them,..atleast 3.4.x so that really ALL will work fine with sense and even without...really bulls'it
[HTC One X] and313:
If so then the tegra nexus 7 wont get 4.4.2 either? It is still on 3.1 kernel
[HTC One X] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
don't know it's a nexus :D for htc it will be too much work i think if they use old kernel...ah i don't know...really sad...but look at the one...it got so many updates ...htc is now changing with the new One series their way of updating and support
[HTC One X] and313:
Well i thought you knew :) if someone can enlighten me with that i would be thankful. Yeah it is getting updates just like our hox did until the one came out so we will see what will happen :)
[HTC One X] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
But i really think it has to do with nvidia tegra...

And the one already got nearly more and faster updates...the snapdragon is just good supported...but yea we will see :)

[HTC One X] sthbr82:
Its a hard lesson learnt, only buy Qualcomm based chipset phones from now on. nVidia gives fancy names to their chipsets, however they are pathetic when it comes to supporting their chipset.
[HTC One X] a.broken.star:
I think it has to do with HTC also.. Dont blame just nvidia. if HTC wanted they could have updated the phone as fas as i know. Thomy's ROM is working fine on hox and so does slimkat. Why don't HTC discuss it out with nvidia and both could have worked hard to give an update.

But see they both (HTC and nvidia) dont give support to old devices and try to work hard on throwing new devices every then and now. If they would have worked that hard (or even less than that) on giving support to hox, it might be a good decision..

Hox is a solid performing device which HTC d#tched early..
[HTC One X] racatapum:
I bought this device to HTC, not to Nvidia. It is HTC responsability to update it.

Google nexus 7 has the same tegra3, and is perfectly working with kit kat.

First months, HTC also gives lots of updates to the oneX, saying they had changed its updating politic. Now, they said this. To bad, HTC. This is my 5th device, and I cant give you anoother chance anymore. I love all of my HTC phones, but this is my last one.
[HTC One X] athulele:
But on the other hand, they're really working hard to quickly update the One. It even has kitkat. The only thing HTC currently needs is more money to provide support to older devices...

[HTC One X] and313:
The only giveaway on how htc will handle updates is when the new phone comes out. Our hox was perfectly supported till the one came out dont you remember?

And thomy did the update to kk all by himself so i dont think money is the problem here.

Yeah, htc is just shifting it's focus from one device to another...

[HTC One X] GuestX0057:
It's not enough to look good for the first year until the next device comes out and then suddenly drop almost all support. What happened with the Desire models, Sensation models and now HOX models will also happen to the One when the next "flagship" is announced.

They sure as hell aren't getting that money from me.
[HTC One X] Bl4ckX:
I see a main cause that HTC decided to not update our phone anymore in the fact that 90% of the users of a phone are just the basic users, who just leave everything on their phone as it was delivered. Only thing I see my friends changing on their Android phones are the wallpaper and their app shortcuts. Some of them change their widgets, some don't. And out of my whole circle of friends I am the only one who knows what a custom ROM is and what the most up to date Android version is. So why should HTC Update our device any further if the only people really concerning about these updates are "those geeks over at xda developers". If things were the other way around and 90% of the HOX owners around the world would trample HTCs HQ for not updating our phone and would take the same step as me and were not going to buy any other HTC phone anymore they would sure as hell update it to KK.

But as people dont do so, why should they update it.
[HTC One X] GuestX0057:
The thing is that old versions of Android also mean more security concerns and possible app compatability issues in the future. Things like this are a concern for the average user and not so much us who know how to tinker with custom roms.

And my friends who have Android phones and who I'd call average users complain about lack of upgrades just as much as me. They still want their phones to have the newest features, up to date looks and all that. HTC being so horrible with updates means that people recognize then as a company with lack of support. And people don't pay hundreds of dollars/euros for just more than one years worth of support.
