Thanks for your reply. As I've read the responses here, I've become convinced that a screen protector is probably generally needed. Sad :( . I currently have the Skinomi Techskin Carbon Fiber applique on the back. It looks good. I tried the Skinomi screen protector, but disliked the look and feel. I'm now using the Brando Tempered Glass Rounded Edition. It looks great and feels right to the touch. Other than 2 tiny flaws (one in the glass and one caused by my not getting all the dust off), it's nearly perfect. (And Brando's customer service is second to none!) So...I guess I'm going to use the protection, as much as I think it is a serious flaw on Sony's part. Not sure what their rationale was in using ASF. I expect more from them.

That being said, I love this phone.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] Tograd:
Agree and I appreciate the suggestions/recommendations.

I was hesitant to upload a photo of my phone because everything looks way worse than it really is.

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B6xEhyXR0UeEN2JZZll3OERQQ28/edit

95% of what you see in the picture is invisible in real life. So it's not as bad as it might seem, and a lot of it is probably just grease/dust rather than physical marks, but a lot of it is real (regardless if you can see it with your eyes or not) and is bound to accumulate further over time. The bottom left scuff is real but it does not look anything as bad as it does in that picture -- might have come about while phone was sliding around under my bed or something, though it looks more like 'pocket-wear' rather than a 1-time-accident. Perhaps most of if could have been avoided by having a raised-edge case.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] rebecker:
Thanks for the picture.

I used my phone for 4 days without screen protection. The accumulation of finger prints was extreme. But even more extreme was the way the phone acted as a dust magnet. Again, I'm assuming the ASF was the issue. The screen protection eliminated most of the dust issue and a good deal of the finger print intensity. And, of course, the back protection eliminated all of the dust and finger print issues.

So... I guess I'm beating a dead horse. ? This phone requires protection.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] giober98:
My experience is really bad... I got scrathes 2 hours after i got my phone (both on the back and on the front)... I applied a protector on the back. But i found a site that sells original Sony ASF (it has the Sony logo printed on it). So I decided that once this one looks too bad I'll replace it.

I can search for the link if you want me to.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] Iruwen:
I guess you missed the "NOT".
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] Tobi@s:
I'm using the Z1c since release and got a new one in June (warranty). I never used a protector on any of my phones. The first Z1c I had got many small scratsches (not visible when the screen was on) - but still had many scratches. Since the new one I'm really careful and that helps a lot: not visible scratch since June:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] m4f1050:
Is there a way of removing the default APN on a Galaxy Note3 (running Android 4.3)? I have the phone rooted.

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mdiaz33685:
create a new one, if u cant delete it...

and add this to APN type...

APN type= default,supl,mms (this will make it default APN)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] m4f1050:
Thanks but I already did that. I am looking to delete the default T-Mobile US LTE one
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] krelvinaz:
You can't and there is no real reason to bother to remove it anyway. Just use the new entry.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rjohnstone:
You can remove it, but it requires a SQL editor.

Go to data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases and edit nwk_info.db

Select the "carriers" table and locate the T-Mobile US LTE / 310260 entry (should be line 26)

Scroll all the way to the far right and change the editable value from 0 to 1.

Restart your phone and you should be able to edit the entry.

The other option is to edit /system/etc/apns-conf.xml directly.

Remember the first rule in tweaking your system... make a backup copy first.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] m4f1050:
See, this is the type of answer I like to get... not "create a new one" or "you don't need to remove it".. If I want to remove it, LET ME REMOVE IT, it's my phone!

Thanks rjohnstone (for telling me how to edit the entry) and mdiaz (for the APN types)! BTW used SqlLite, great app, only $2.99 on Play store and works VERY well!

JELLYBEAN BUILDS:

​

ROM Info

SlimBean, ROM for the Samsung Galaxy Ace II

ROM OS Version: 4.3.1 JellyBean

Sources: SlimRoms (original)

ROM Kernel: Linux 3.0.101, 3.1

ROM Firmware Required: official JellyBean (with CWM recovery) or higher

Recovery: TWRP

Version Information

Status: Experimental

Official ROM version number: Build 2.1

Initial Build Date: 2014-08-25

Initial Build Release Date: 2014-08-27

Current Build Release Date: 2014-08-29

Current Build Number: BUILD II / B8

Inspiration for "creating" this ROM was SlimSaber Reborn by [MENTION=1228651]fusionjack[/MENTION]. Some claimed it as most stable/best ROM for Galaxy SII (i9100) phone. Too bad, compiling the ROM for Codina using SlimSaber Reborn sources (manifest) ended with some major issues [System ui silently crashes after receiving statusbar notification]. So, in short words - IT IS NOT SLIMSABER REBORN version for Galaxy Ace II . My ROM uses original SlimROMs sources, but...

1. Modified to work with our phone of course (OMX patches, low in-call workaround implementation, with some apps removed, etc.)

2. Mix of SlimSaber and JustArchi's optimalizations WITH all necessary fixes [build, external/bash]

3. Specific device sources

4. Device specific kernel sources

5. TWRP Recovery taken from KitKat branch

6. Some apps removed (e-mail, exchange, live wallpapers, etc.)

7. Original keyboard switched to Android L Keyboard

8. Things borrowed from SlimSaber Reborn:

Some of memory leak fixes in Settings and frameworks/base sources

SaberMod toolchain sources taken from SSR manifest

Some GPS fixes (may be reverted, because i'm not sure if helps or just the opposite;)).

Fix for crashing google drive apk [and thx to [MENTION=4881398]PolishVodka[/MENTION]]

So, once again - it's not a SlimSaber Reborn exact implementation (but it's close in some parts). I think it's possible, that next releases (if any) could be even more close to SSR, but it never will be "clean SSR", because of apps removed by me and differences in device/kernel sources (which is not the same with differences between both devices).

I think next step will be Omni Performance Control integration...

Anyway - there wouldn't be my SlimBean ROM without SlimSaber Reborn...

KITKAT BUILDS:

​

ROM Info

SlimSaber Kitkat, ROM for the Samsung Galaxy Ace II

ROM OS Version: 4.4.4 Kitkat

Sources: SlimSaber by fusionjack

ROM Kernel: Linux 3.0.101, 3.1.1

ROM Firmware Required: official JellyBean (with CWM recovery) or higher

Recovery: TWRP

Version Information

Status: Beta

Official ROM version number:

Initial Build Date: 2014-08-21

Initial Build Release Date: ----

Current Build Release Date: 2014-08-31

Current Build Number: BUILD I / B3

----------------

Yes, that build is very close to original SlimSaber KitKat for Galaxy SII (apart from device/kernel differences AND those apps deleted by me). So this time all credits goes to [MENTION=1228651]fusionjack[/MENTION] [rest of credits you'll find in his thread;)]. I made that ROM because... well, i lost confidence in some of our leading ROMs and [MENTION=5208895]shine911[/MENTION] didn't release his SlimKat ROM for long time (last one had serious issues with recovery storages and camera i think). But i wanted to test SlimKat ROM so badly... then i found SlimSaber topics... In the same time some of our fellows claimed that current (or in general) Kitkats are worse than leading 4.3.1 ROMs for our device. Well, i don't think that is so easy, but one is sure - KitKat source update from 4.4.2 -> 4.4.4 wasn't best thing that happened to our device's ROMs. So, first i tried to make our version of SS Reborn, but there was major issue (described above), so i tried to make SlimSaber Kitkat...

Short for now (didn't even tested last builds;)): It's much more SlimSaber than 4.3.1 version. Actually it uses SlimSaber repository (platform_manifest) with only device specific modification (as said before: omx patches, low in-call workarounds) and maybe some more apps removed. Maybe (just like in 4.3.1 build) i'll change original keyboard to Android L version...

But, in general, it's (or should i say: will be) SlimSaber for Codina;)).

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] danny19901:
Seems interesting my guess is saberslim is slimrom with saber mod? If so cool if I'm wrong sorry but I may have to try 4.4.4 version

When will 4.4.4 version be available

Very nice matey, I'm really looking forward SlimSaber 4.4 ;)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] xo.en:
Wow, this rom has potential - status: tweakable(Miryn, check this one(i'll try to make mod from this 1)).

So far i can see:

- cpu control works properly with perfctrl(no 100mhz revert etc.),

- no browser lag with mobile sites present on liquid 4.3.x,

- no "chrono" tearing,

- nice 3d,

- NICE cf-bench score(lowlevel tests) - my main method of measuring "heaviness" of roms,

- fast boot,

- seems to HOLD 2g/3g setting after reboot(liq had problem with this),

To test:

- radio/viper/headphones(liq has issue with these),

- gps,

- cam stability(liq/dirtywriteback issue).

I may even switch from liquid to that one, damn.

You know, i really like ace2...

What puzzles me: why system is generating such big amount of /dropbox logs?

AFAIK buttons light and bln isn't the same.

[MENTION=4881398]PolishVodka[/MENTION] mentioned the buttons backlight...

Bln is managed by NTS (but I never tried it)

And my pack (pack I added) is somehow magical: it turns off backlight and enables notifications :)

But I'll check that option... Thx

Look at link in OP
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] xo.en:
One simple question, are you going to maintain twrp way?

Since it's not possible to shuffle with cwm/twrp backups, i'd rather want to know(in case i switch from 4.3.x liq with cwm backups as ONY way there).

It would be sad thing to see next version with cwm again(and twrp backup).

You know how it is - i were modding liquid 2.3x since...DECEMBER, if it had reco switch, it is just not possible...so if i am going to spend another 10 months with this rom...you know now.

<translation>

Keep twrp for further releases, if you are sure of it.

Imho, it's quite superior to cwm, but it's still unpopular.

If it's standard, it's definitely superior.

Now let me drink a beer(or two..) for your slim, good job, imho.

Respect and good night, guys..
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] judas1977:
I can assure you, that there will be no CWM recovery in my slim builds... Even with alternative kernels (oh, maybe i'll add some old - non-OCed kernel as a bonus pack /just to check something/), but i spend many time to enhance TWRP to just leave it ;)). BTW - now i'm trying to fix offline charging animation (and some other minor things).

BTW - you can use cwm backup by temporary switching kernels;)).
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] xo.en:
Now, only thing i can say is - i am switching to your rom, mate.

I spent almost 9 months for modding 4.3.x liquid for myself, seeing this one I think it's time for new base(for personal use).

Thing is, that 4.3.x is the way for ace2, imo.

Thank You, Batlin, this rom's ok.

upd: this may sound weird, but - migration from liquid 2.3x to this rom is, if i am right, entirely possible without fullwipe(Oo).

Now, this is precious knowledge...

Yup, this is entirely correct, i can see amazing effects of those rules, vide above.

Anyway - good job, I am not going to take your time until neccesary, logout for today(5th beer now) still testing this rom(+mods).
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] blastos01:
dude I am waiting for you test if you write your rewiev after your test, I can start using this rom. I am using liquidsmooth 2.37 since february 2014 but sometimes it gets slowing. I tried to flash liquid from zero but gets slower again. anyway I hope this slims are better.

[*] Back to Launcher2 and remove NovaLauncher (to avoid problems with apk update)

Fixing offline charging animation

EDIT: just as i thought - that "native" button lights control isn't working well - actually turning lights off isn't working for me...
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] xo.en:
So, i finally migrated from liq.

I must say, that GPS is working GREAT here, it reminds me slimbean 4.2.x's gps. Really awesome.

There were roms able to set lowest brightness to VERY minimal value, so it could be possible(and definitely useful).
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] judas1977:
Don't know if that fast migration is a good idea. I had one random reboot lately (didn't get any logs though)...

And for GPS - of course with your tweak is working awesome? (because for me it's working "decent" at most;)).
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] xo.en:
Erm, tbh I am not sure how i migrated(hazy memories), but so far, so good, zero reboots, deep sleep's working, perfctrl too.

GPS is working miracles, I am using your cfg, not my one from liq, and it's really great.

Next step - res cutting, pngopti, etc.

Thanks for this rom, B.

p.s. damn, i could test your kernel with liq before change...
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] judas1977:
It's TC's kernel;). And as far as i remember slim kernels don't worked with other roms (or it was opposite?:)).

EDIT: so, maybe lcd driver is not only difference and for example gps module isn't the same?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] acrocosm:
I dont know if it's just me but 4.3.1 is way less smooth and fast compared to 4.4 and it's not only that build but liquid smooth and rox's cm10.2 too. I expect that normal to some degree as kitkat is optimized for low ram devices. That's a huge difference on its own. I eagerly wait for kitkat. Hopefully it wont have nova launcher
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] xo.en:
There were such suspicions about gps, idd. But who knows.

Btw i have a question: is 4.4.x version similar to 4.3.x? I mean framework options, etc - usually 4.4's have less functions than older ones, how's with this one?

Tbh, with strict, logical ram mgmt optimizations(scripts, cfg's) i cannot see ANY advantage of 4.4's over 4.3's. Not to mention, that 4.3's are more stable, usually.

Fun is, that kk is usually not prone to..these optimizations(practically zero difference), so i think, that some of solutions may be already used in kk's.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] judas1977:
KK build is practically the same as Galaxy SII version. It has many differences comparing to "clean" slimkat, but i tested it too short, to judge even such basics as available options...
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] acrocosm:
Well, where are those scripts/cfgs and how do I apply them? because I find settings and website scroll experience quite annoying
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] danny19901:
There are build prop mods that can help or try init'd scripts these would be probably what your on about

Does slim have theme manager ? Also can't wait 4.4.4 slimsabre
