Since I upgraded from 512mb to 2gb MiniSD, I noticed that my battery drains a lot faster, and I believe I upgraded my rom before upgrading the MiniSD. I also noticed that the free program memory also dropped while I am running WM so I'm wondering if the freedom of 2gb MiniSD comes at the price of the processor performing more operations and thus draining the battery at a faster rate.

I wish to figure out whether my battery is going to last a trans-atlantic flights (7- or 8-hours) where one inadvertently gets placed next to or near a toddler and needs the peace of mind that listening to one's own selection of music can bring while also reading several stored articles.

I suppose there are two important questions I have: if one is noticing a signficant rate of depletion of one's battery which I am, is there some setting (ex wifi signal strength should only be set to strongest when actually using wifi --which I think I might just try) one can play with in order to get back to normal life expectancy after a fully-charged battery? Are people finding that replacing the stock battery very helpful?

Any all suggestions appreciated.

Some really good points from both sides :D

Firstly, Macs .. I personally dont like them either, but i respect that its a "Proper" computer its just not my choice, you always get fanboys from both sides, who say "My computer is better because ..."

Why cant people be different and life what they want to ?

anyway

Forums and responses.

People on forums (and this one isnt that bad really)

Most new people to the forum tend to go through a couple of phases.

Fistly they start with "Im newbie please help me" which is often ignored or replied to by the next group of members with a "Go search like what i had to" type response, which is completly useless :D

The last is the experienced member who often reads these posts but doesnt reply, mostly because the type of post are so frequent its gonna wear finger skin out :P

FAQs should be present in every forum as there is always newbies joining and asking the same old questions, which isnt really such a bad thing.

When i get my wizard i will attempt to write one (albeit ****e :P )

I personally think there are a few different types of Newbie

1) the Noob that wants wants, and isnt prepared to learn.

This type of noob usually posts in big font, sometimes uses colour and usually puts an email address to contact rather than a reply to the thread.

Avoid at all costs, they need mummy to wipe their butt still.

2) The noob who has searched and tried everything but nothing works and its all your fault !!!!

Often listed under the "Banned" member group in forums :P

3) The noob who reads forums and posts threads asking for help when needed.

This type of Noob you will often find a year or so on helping others and generally not posting "Use the search function !!!" to every post known to man.

There are probs some more variations of Noob but i think i coverd the main ones :D.

Mac users have little support from MS/Intel

To the person who asked about Mac and updating ROM's so far I've not seen or found a way to do it - you'll have to beg a Windoz user for system time (to an ardent Mac user that hurts).

Let face it the whole thing about MS communicating to Mac is a big no-no. Just look for a way to load programs to Windoz device from Mac or sync your data - you can't even with the largest selling Mac program out there, which happens to be Microsoft Office for Mac and all the 3rd party ones out there suck. Missing Sync does not work well with WM5 (its currently in alpha test) and PocketMac have yet to crack WM5. The only way to sync repeatable to Mac is from PDA to Microsoft Exchange server and then to Mac (can be via .Mac or Entourage). Unfortunatly being 10% of the large market (although 10% of many million is a large market in itself) the hackers generally leave you alone most of the time (little spyware etc.) but because all these ROM loads are hacks you also lose out there. Its a pity Microsoft made the communication so bad and that I don't know enough about hacking PDA ROM's otherwise I'd work out a way to do this and more (back to the sync stuff). You'll just have to beg one of your window using friends to help you here. I, luckly, use Mac at home (mainly because my wife and family can't crash it, which they did daily with windoz) and Windoz (and UNIX) at work. Each has it strengths and weaknesses and there is no best I just prefer Mac for my personal stuff. :(

well thanks god for the new BOOT CAMP on Mac's with intel processors. Now up die hard mac uses can have our cake and eat it too. Run windows, run OSX, whatever....cant wait for Leopard!!

I have a nexus 4, the right most button on the nexus 4 is the multitask button, showing all the running apps.

Today i ordered an LG optimus e970 for my brother since it was on sale and i noticed that to show all running problems, i need to hold the home button and that's very annoying. The rightmost button on the optimus is just settings button.

How do i change the functions of the button and make the rightmost button the multitask button?

Can custom roms like cyangmod change it?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] mikeylikey:
Custom ROMs will let you edit short and/or long press cap keys for home and menu. So yes, it can be done.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] billy8362:
This option has been integrated into slimkat ROM, on this weeks update.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] MikeyLee:
Call Sprint Tech support 888-211-4727 and tell them you need your MSL for your Note 3 and if they question you just tell them you are a developer.

Dial ##3282#

Choose "Edit" and enter your MSL

Go to Edit and to LTE

You can make changes if they are available to change but I am currently on the 4.4.2 KitKat leak and there are no options other than LTE on or off

Not sure if there were options on 4.3 cause I never needed to edit them.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] troubled_android:
Here. Just read the thread before, it's already been posted. ;)

[MENTION=4880903]vashta[/MENTION]: brightness works for me. :)

And I love the rom, haven't found single bug, I love the inverted theme, the choice of setting different number of tiles in quicksettings is awesome, lots of features, no FC for now...perfect! ;)

Only one problem, in notification drawer - quick access toggles, if I choose different tiles to show up, there are only few of them showing/working, some of them like network mode and mobile data don't show up in drawer.

Otherwise, everything's perfect!

Im using it with Vatsal's kernel and now my Arc S and me are happy. :D Thanks for this awesome job!

[Xperia Arc Android Development] babygau:
I think it depends on the Rom people choose. I'm using Vanir Rom and it's incredibly stable.

My steps are nearly identical to yours except I installed Int2SD first and I found no bugs so far.

In your case, make sure your sd partition is ext4, format the partition, reflash the script will keep you away from trouble. There is a dedicated script come along with Int2SD to wipe davik-cache. You will need it when you upgrade your Nightly Rom.

Carbon Rom is great and fast but somehow incompatible with some scripts (Int2SD...). With my 3-years-old Anzu, I would expect nothing more than this KK version. Varnir + Int2SD + Greenify make my slow phone fly high

I'm so sorry if this isn't the right place to post this, but I see nowhere else. I love this ROM, I use it in my Galaxy Nexus, and I noticed that it's also available for Iyokan devices (Xperia Pro), but since I see no thread for it or mention of it, I wanted to ask, can I flash it on my Xperia Pro? Anything I should consider? I just don't know why there are builds for it but no information about it.

Thanks in advance!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mati865:
M

You will need patch to make everything work.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] AnnS:
Hi! What patch is that?

And well, I already flashed it, couldn't wait. :) And so far it seems to be working, only issues or bugs seem to be:

1) With the physical keyboard there's no word suggestion, or case view icon in the statusbar, etc... But that seems to be a common issue with ROMs for the XPro. Installing and using TouchPal X Keyboard from the Play Store fixes it (I don't know why, it has to be that specific keyboard).

2) The automatic brightness setting is a bit buggy, it can go randomly from minimun lighting to medium/full, and is normally at minimun, even though it's bright where I am, so that setting is not usable at the moment. This also might be a common issue with KK ROMs for the XPro, since I experienced the same thing with AOSB.

Oh, and sometimes the network icon goes intermittently from the one with no signal (since I'm not using a SIM card) to an icon with a question mark in it. But that's a minor bug, and if I reboot it goes away (until it reapers another time I reboot). It's not serious. And, as mentioned already, ART doesn't work, but it's the same with the Galaxy Nexus (maguro) builds.

Cheers!

2 things

1) vanirs were redheads and brunettes, and had nothing to do with the white/yellowhead vikinger mutts (re: the logo)

2) i downloaded the 040414 nightly and the screen is extremely laggy - the framerate looks like its lower than even 15fps. it seems like the cpu is doing vesa software rendering for 3d. the interface is completely unusable because of that. also, the screen goes blank if you try to resume form sleep.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hootnath:
Did you have a Vanir build that worked? (re: your signature). if yes, which one? The "what to expect" in the OP made me pick this ROM instead of all the other 4.4.2 ones, only to get disappointed.

So I just flash kernel, boot in CWM and wipe data and calvik cache?

That should work? How about flashing int2ext script ? Is that necessary?

It is no problem to update? Not want to reflash and reinstall everything again.

Is the newest build 041514 without problems?

heard that a lot of people had some problems with builds after 03/30

if u wipe data then wipe all

u mean wipe cache then flash provided kernel flash last nightly

if it works without FC problems then its ok but if u got problem wipe all ;)
