[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
And don't forget that the Ultra's brother, the Ultra GPe will receive Android "L" very quickly after release this fall, meaning we'll also get it very quickly by porting it (which is easy). The Ultra is also incredible cheap now, and you're still getting a Snapdragon 800, so it's still a beast and totally worth it. I've had mine since its release and i simply love it.

(I also came from the Galaxy Note btw).

---------- Post added at 07:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 PM ----------

Yeah, the GPe ROMs, especially the KitKat versions are scoring pretty low, and it's the same thing on the Nexus models. Note that this only applies to ANTUTU. Try the other GPU benchmarks, and you'll quickly learn that there aren't really that big of a difference between the stock and GPe ROM. The 4.4.3 GPe ROM is also A LOT smoother and quicker than the stock KitKat ROM. Enable ART and it's even smoother. No hickups AT ALL.

Recommended, 10/10.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hudsonhicks:
What do you run at the moment? What launcher, rom and kernel please ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] E90 Commie:
The GPe ROM is really, really smooth and offers very reliable memory management too. Despite some benchmarks being lower, it offers very high real world performance.

The only thing stopping me from ART is Xposed - I will enable it right away when this mod is compatible.

I think the only competing ROMs to the GPe one is the other AOSP/CM based things out there. Sony's own stock ROM was removed from my list when I noticed that 240 DPI breaks the notification bar completely.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
I'm running the 4.4.3 GPe ROM with stock kernel and ART enabled, so no Xposed. I'm using the Epic Launcher which is GEL but with a lot of features. I've also slimmed it all down by removing a lot of "garbage" that I don't use, but I'm pretty much running stock GPe. It's totally worth it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hudsonhicks:
You not bothered by dt2w? i like to preserve my power button :(
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] diegoultra:
Thank you all very much for your inputs! The device is great when I use it at home as a tablet when in the end it was just too big for me to carry around outside. I don't know what to get but I probably will wait for the Note 4 to see what it has to offer.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gideonMorrison:
I had the Note 2 as well and found it an ugly looking toy after using the beast we call Z Ultra. The ZU is a work of art compared to the Note line, even the 3. I'm 6'2", never issues with storing the ZU in my pants/jeans. Even with Nillkin flip cover. Take the plunge, as this is the best phone ever made so far. Period.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] martin132014:
I will consider if note 4 if its totally different design than this...or they implemented the youm display tech on it...

Knox is one thing to back out for but if towelroot can bypass it so maybe that something to look out for...

But one thing on me, i just can't deal a phone that smaller than 6" after i used the ultra...its like any phone smaller than this even z2 it's look like a toy...

And i dont like Samsung setting menu or icon...its just ugly and cartoonish...sony ui and menu is more mature looking from my perspective...

It just my point of view, hope samsung users dont take it personally..:P
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] cenkaetaya:
Isn't the Ultra 2 just around the corner?

After having the ultra i can honestly say il probably never get a note again as long as they keep making ultra's

The Ultra 2 ( if it comes out ) should hopefully be alot better.

However the total crap camera and no LED kinda hold back the original from being the best device ever all around.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] zchen:
Question, I will be getting GPE version of Z Ultra, when you say change to 240 DPI are you referring to changing it using the Xposed framework perapp settings?

thanks
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] killque:
Frankly speak go with note 3. Sony don't age as well as Samsung. I regretted not going note 3. Sony was nice 1year but it's aging and support is.meh
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] chechenodark:
300$ now... in 6 months 200$, ultra is the most cheaper
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] E90 Commie:
I change to 240 DPI through build.prop and then use the App Settings Exposed module to switch apps to tablet mode.

Regarding buying a Note 3 - I don't see any reason. I have used it a couple of times and the combination of TouchWiz, bloat, efuse and Knox make it a horrible experience compared to a Z Ultra with GPe ROM and Xposed etc. It is also worth to.mention that the Note 3 uses 480 DPI phone mode and that Samsung apps has a tendency to crash under 240 DPI.

Another thing is that the best Note 3 features such as multiwindow works great on the Ultra through Xposed.

I would never consider a Note 3 as an option even if I had both the Note I and II.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Panfloetenheini:
I was testing Reaver-GUI by SOEDI, but it doesn't seem to work with my Desire Z. I'm getting

[!] WARNING: Failed to associate with 11:22:33:44:55:66 (ESSID:WLAN)

on both of my Routers. Aircrack-NG works just well. Has anybody got it working with the DZ/G2? I use CM10.1, but also tried it with CM7 roms.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skwerl23:
I have had cm11 for ages. I love cm. I have been on it since cm7. My problem is it seems less and less stable. Camera crashes a lot and I have to reboot to get it to work. Etc.. Apps have been freezing and I doubt it's hard ware as its only 18 months old. Any ideas on great ROMs for stability reasons.
[General Accessories] Ariadne:
I would like to connect up an external touchscreen monitor, or monitor and keyboard to the PDA2.

I know there is a VGA output on the Backpack, but does anyone know of any other device with which I could get a vga and keyboard out of the PDA2?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asusta:
Right now I'm using 4.1.2, but when I try to upgrade to 4.3 or 4.4 capacitive touch buttons stop working. My note 2 is UAE based. I tried different custom roms, as well as stock roms but couldn't find a solution.

When I check the source code for n7100 from Samsung's open source release center, I noticed that there's a difference between 4.1.2 and 4.4.2 for keyboard source code. In 4.4.2 source code for cypress capsense is added.

Can it be the source of the problem or am I on the wrong trace?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clevent:

Just fastboot flashed the image onto my N7 without erasing userdata, appears to be boot-looping as previously mentioned in this thread.

flashable zip

can someone make a flashable zip please :confused:
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] hazzamon:
Judging by the experiences of others in the thread so far, don't expect to be able to flash this over 4.4.4 without ending up in a boot-loop; so just backup your data and use the factory image.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Legacystar:
I'd like one too because I'm at work no access to fastboot.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] doombox414:
Can someone confirm this works fine on flo? I see images for razor only?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] username4this:
All of you asking for a flashable zip, use the toolkit to make it unless you can't use the toolkit aswell.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] hazzamon:
Razor is flo. Razor is the device name, flo is the name of the circuit board.

Installing apps now. but i am seeing some lags even when accessing play store
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] babybacon:
Just used the flash-all.bat through fastboot and it worked perfectly. If you dont have the PATH variables set up it wont work but the commands you need if you place the bootloader.img and the image.zip in your platform-tools folder are:

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-flo-flo-04.02.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot -w update image-razor-lpv79.zip

Took awhile to start up but it was all fine. running it through the paces now.

This will wipe userdata as well, just as an FYI.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] dobbs3x:
Flashable zip would be nice for us using multirom.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] tiny4579:
I flashed it. I thought it might have bootlooped, so I left it for a while just in case and it booted fine. Is the circle key supposed to be home as it's broken on my dirty flash?

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] natezire71:
Wait, can you flash this and still have a 4.4.4 backup? I'm currently on CleanROM (4.4.4); but I wanted to make a backup in TWRP of CleanROM, then flash the L-preview--use it a little bit, then restore my backup. Is this possible?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] ldkud50:
Yes, you will have to flash TWRP. Then you can restore your backup.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] SnowKing25:
Got it booted! :D Gonna have some fun with this bad boy!

Edit: Status and Nave bars are transparent in landscape, black in portrait. Seems pretty smooth so far, some of the animations and details seem a bit off, example, swiping all the way to the bottom of settings, the animation is huge and off, surly they just havent fine tuned it yet but still very smooth and i was sceptical of the look at first, but i think i can really get into it.

You can search within settings!

Adjusting volume controls plays a sound for each option (Media/alarm/notification) so you have a better idea of how loud it will be.

Battery screen shows charge left in battery as time remaining.

New look bounce-back (when you scroll to the bottom of the list and try to scroll further) - it changes depending on where your finger is horizontally on the screen!

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] SnowKing25:
Music controls from the lockscreen dont show the alubm art in the back. there doesnt seem to be a true "lockscreen" interface for it yet either, just a notification that can be used to play/pause etc. Also apps that previously had completely transparent status/nav bars now have a darker shadow over them, probably something with the API, but Nova/Pushbullet/Brightweather no longer have 100% transparent nav/status bars

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] muzicman0:
My GS5 keeps waking up in my pocket...I'm assuming that it is because the home button is being pressed. Is there a ROM out there that has pocket detection so that it won't wake up if it's in your pocket?

mm0
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] em0ney14:
I currently have alliance rom v2 installed.

This is located under settings, custom settings, lock screen mods.

Also, I believe wanam x posed can do it, I'm not sure though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] gridflash:
Get this from Google Play.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] muzicman0:
Thanks...just installed...so far, so good!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] muzicman0:
So I installed that ROM, and Faux123's kernel, and it appears to be working great. I wish there was true pocket detection so I didn't have to disable the home button wake, but this will work for now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fffft:
Some lock screen apps e.g. Dynamic notifications pro can be configured to do what you want. They monitor the proximity sensor to know when you pull the phone out of your pocket.

.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] elesbb:
The problem with that tho is it polls the sensor, which drains battery. The air wake feature of our device checks the orientation of the device. I would like to change it so it works on all orientations so when removed from pocket it would wake. That would be the perfect setup.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fffft:
You quoted multiple people who had disparate solutions. Speaking only for myself, I was talking about a lock screen app, not a ROM. And it can be configured to do what you are wishing for. Block accidental use of the home button when locked. Realize when it is pulled from a pocket and wake up.

And it satisfies your newly expressed requirement as well; namely that it is not harsh on battery life. If you search my post history, I even quantified the battery use for that app.

.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] elesbb:
Its still using more battery then the system framework can. Therefore its harsh on the battery for people who wish to get 18+ hours on battery. I make apps. I know how to read proximity sensor values. and you need to keep the device awake in order to do it. Maybe using root it would be different.

Anyhow, i was nowhere bashing any app. I was simply stating that instead of replacing your entire lockscreen, you could hack into the already existing code and make it ignore the orientation of the device to achieve what the OP is after.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fffft:
Nothing you said refutes my comments or their conclusion. So we'll just have to disagree on the subject.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 115dan:
Hi! I made a rom based on stock UBLPH firmware with dsixda's kitchen, I flashed it everything works but baseband not. No signal and in Settings>About at baseband version is Unknown. The modifications i made is to debloat rom, root and installed busybox. My baseband installed on phone is XXLQG, on other rom's baseband works.

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] ComradeHX:
So I finally cannot stand stock phone anymore...

It's only 4.3 or later that has locked bootloader, right?

Can 4.2.2. can be flashed normally?

Any recommendation for which rom to use?

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Devo7v:
The i537 has always had a locked bootloader regardless of what version you're on. Your only option is to use SafeStrap.

Try the Google Play Edition ROM in the development section, you'll like it. It's as close to stock android as you're going to get with a locked bootloader.
[Nexus 5 General] bblzd:
Looks like the latest Google Search update is testing always listening (lock screen, apps) for OK Google Hotword detection. Only for "certain accounts" at the moment though.

This has been a highly requested feature since the launch of the N5. Anyone have one of these mythical accounts?

[Nexus 5 General] bblzd:
I guess your account isn't one of the few.

Do you guys think it is just random accounts, or would these account holders know ahead of time that they have these special permissions? I'm assuming it's for accounts which signed up for some beta testing.
[Nexus 5 General] NinoDolce1:
You are right. It might be for early beta testers.
[Nexus 5 General] DarkScion:
Started working for me as soon as I installed the apk. Haven't done anything special as such to get it. You can get the hotword detection working from settings. Basically, it works exactly like a moto x except it doesn't work when the phone is both not being charged and also the screen is off. Waiting for custom hotwords now, "OK Google" seems kinda lame.
[Nexus 5 General] datallboy:
I read that it's being released in waves to different users and you also have to be on the latest Google play services 5.* But it is being rolled out in a back end search update in waves, few reports of users already having it.

[Nexus 5 General] nooktablet:
So with this on how much battery does it drain? (Since Google doesnt let it work when screen is off unless charging I assume they do that to save battery which means it does drain battery when screen on)

Is it worth the drain if I only say OK Google like a few times a week?

The drain is small but noticeable, and shows up as AudioMixIn wake lock.
