If you've used a VGA/WVGA device before you would've noticed everything is set at 192dpi. i.e. HTC Universal 3.6" VGA same sized font

Unless you're using SE_VGA/ozVGA (true VGA) which would mean you're retaining 96 dpi.

No matter how small/large the screen size is, there's no alternative to higher resolution when viewing webpage on your PDA. Using Opera 9.5 on Touch Pro's 2.8" VGA is sheer joy! :D

There's a technique you can use when you can't see things, hold it closer. :p

Maybe you read it wrong?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] sschrupp:
Wow, 3.8". That things a monster! SDHC slot, G-sensor, 480x800 WVGA.. ok yeah, I'm drooling just a little bit. Now I just need to sell my left kidney and maybe a testicle or two in order to afford it when it comes out.

It's lacking in buttons, but it's sure nailing everything else!

I'm glad you mentioned the HTC Touch HD, Atramhasis. I was assuming it'd have the same 2.8" screen as the other ones.

I'm sticking with Symbian for about 3 years before moving on for a change with a Windows Mobile phone. I need something with qwerty keyboard and low price. Definitely, BA is the best and my smartest choice. I got it for about 100$ (I think it's a n-hand fone, but everything is okay). The thing I love most about BA is it big screeen, stable (almost never die) and fast! I lost it once then bought another one right away, cannot live a without it. :)

What I would die for is an BA II with GPS, Hi-res screen (something like 16M color!),Full keyboard, running on WM7 & that's all! :D Long live BA!!!

Why I am hanging on to it.

Since I have upgraded to a kaiser I have no need for my BA so I am gonna hook it up permanently to my Carputer maybe as a prepaid phone or internet. Not sure, I do know this there is none other like it. If my kaiser had a bigger screen I would love it. My wife has a BA also with the camera. And she looks at my kaiser with some disappointment. So I would say the biggest benefit of the BA is big screen. Now i have to steer her to upgrading to a kaiser because she wants an iPhone :mad: (What a sell out!) I think the iPhone is just cool factor. No functionality. Anyone got any suggestions at to what I should turn my BA into?? I was also thinking about some kind of media center control. Like nail it to the wall and turn it into a kiosk. Need some advice.

Well, I think I'm going to pony up and get the HTC Touch HD. I'm not overly enthusiastic about no buttons, but the device has everything else right.

The only thing else coming out is the Pharos Traveler 137 and Asus Galaxy 7 which both have a 3.5" screen instead of 3.8", but they do have a toggle stick or trackball as opposed to the HD's nothing. Considering they're projected for March I think I'll just go with the HD.

Palm Pre

It's funny, the Palm Pre really has the same form factor as the 5 year old Blue Angel. The new Touch HD looks like it's coming to Sprint and Verizon. I hear the touch HD is pretty awesome but if I didn't want a keyboard, I'd buy an i-Phone.

I'd love to see the HD with a keyboard which slides out. Sooner or later someone's going to get the form factor right.

I love the idea of the Noki 97. It's like a larger version of the Kaiser. It runs some version of the Symbian.

I'm not buying another phone until one comes along with a bigger screen period.

HTC 2009 lineup

Personally I would not live without the qwerty keyboard, but in the leaked photo's of what it supposedly HTC's 2009 lineup, I think that there just might be what many of us is looking for. But of course, the specs are not known yet and they have to be good to convince my to ditch my good old BA, now that there is a good WM6.1 up and running on it.

Very Nice!!! It seems kinda funny (to me at least) how they have so many new models resembling the BlackBerry, and yet RIM seems to be desperately trying to get away from that form factor (and closer to PDA style)...

Nice nevertheless.... I am looking forward to those. Hopefully, they will be much more affordable than they currently are. Make no mistake, they can make them out of solid gold with a supercomputer the size of a fingernail, but if people cannot afford them, it is kinda pointless... (ie Touch HD, Athena).

This rom rewrites recovery to the stock one and decrypts data. I re-flashed twrp recovery but in twrp it asks me for password to access/decrypt the data (the data thats on the phone, such as TWRP backups and other ROM .zip's) ? I have no lock screen/no password on my phone. Tried booting in system and setting lock screen password and using that in TWRP but no luck. Tried "default password" but it does not work. I wan't to restore other version of en.miui rom, but I can't access it via TWRP now. Any ideas for the password or way around? I am too lazy to reflash MiFLash version of 6.4.21 and then copy my TWRP backups onto the phone..
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] SavageDamage:
Check over at the MIUI forums, I think someone mentioned this issue and how to fix it. I have locked bootloader so no experience with TWRP on this phone yet.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] kamrul.auntu:
Surprisingly original one works through updater. But in the yesterday morning when nI tried via TWRP it does not worked for me and showed boot.img related error but flashed successfully and device never booted up and stuck on boot logo. Then I flashed 7.2.4.0 again and just for checking I tried to flash manually via updater apps and it works. Unlike other updater ROM this one wiped all data (though I did not have any) and had a clean install.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] TheUltrametricSpace:
this doesn't look like a fastboot ROM!

Just to add details:

Xiaomi names fastboot Roms with "phone_name"_"version"...

like the Mi5 fastboot Roms are: gemini_images_V....

And Mi5 Recovery ROms are miui_MI5...

So if you tried to flash it as a fastboot ROM it's likely to not work.

I had the similar message when going from 7.3.3.0 China to the latest China developer. I would not mind it.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] jemeljsh:
I could not find the solution to get back to 6.5.19 eu.miui rom. Whatever password options I tried within TWRP data would not unlock/decrypt (tried -> password, default_password, default password, "lock screen password/lock screen pin").

To resolve the issue I:

1. copied contents (including made backups with TWRP 3.0.2) of the phone while booted into the system to my pc 2. reflashed MiFLash version of 6.4.21 eu.miui rom via MiFlash in FastBoot;

3. reflashed TWRP to the one version which matched the version of my TWRP backups (3.0.2)

4. while booted into 6.4.21 eu.miui rom copied TWRP backup from pc to the phone

5. booted into TWRP and restored my TWRP backup.

So the test of this rom version costed my 2 hours :laugh:

I never told that it looks like a fastboot ROM kind of a thing! Looking at the inside of zip file also can indicate that which one fastboot or which one is recovery ROM. BTW, I am still waiting for your comment on another of mine thread where I mentioned you. This is, I am not getting mobile network signal most of the times and get it back network barely. Impossible to use the phone. Please help.

I was just trying to say OP that original one (leaked) worked for me through phone updater rather TWRP. TWRP can flash it but firmware don't have ability to boot the device. That is why I 1st rollback to to Global stable 7.2.4.0 and then update this ROM. Even not seen any verification error in the flashing process. But TWRP presented me error in boot.image which OP mentioned. I think this ROM leaked from any closed alpha/beta tester and that is why updater apps not shows any error. If you try to install 7.2.8.0 over 7.2.4.0 recovery ROM it shows verification error.

Hi,

My Galaxy Nexus 4.3, is quite slow and it has huge battery drain, even after a reset. So I was wondering to try an update to Marshmallow 6.0. Questions:

- I found many ROMS in this forum, but I have no idea which one would be the best for everyday use. Could you please recommend one of them?

- Make sense to try this update? The phone will be faster and it will consume less battery compared to 4.3?

- I have no experience in updating ROMS. Which will be the most simple procedure that I should follow in that case?

Many thanks in advance for your help!

I can recommend this ROM:

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-nexus/development/cyanogenmod-12-beta-builds-t2958865

It has official cyanogenmod nightly status and I use it as a daily driver for my GNex. It is stable and

I experienced an increased battery drain with older CM 11 (4-5% per hour in stand-by) and Google apps package installed so I removed Google Apps completely and never went back. Battery live was up to 2,5 days with normal use and up to 6 days in stand-by.

Running with the the above ROM my GNex again can reach up to 2,5 days with my normal usage and still have about 40% of battery left.

Normally I use my my GNex for listening to mp3s and reading news sites when commuting to/from work (about 2,5 hrs/day), in addition internet research back home using WiFi, plus regular phone calls and texting.

I do not use facebook, twitter or the likes and hardly ever watch youtube on my GNex (it's more fun in front of a real screen).

[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hyungwoo0312:
Short answer: You can't.

You bought the E5803, an international model, but Docomo version's model name is SO-02H. That means they have fundamental hardware differences. Unless someone makes a custom firmware that ports Docomo ROM features to the international model(which is unlikely), you're out of luck.

[LG G Watch] konradit:
Is it possible to port Android Wear 2.0 from emulator image to a G Watch? A developer ported the ZenWatch 2 system to the Gear 2 Neo so it might be possible to port from LG Watch Urbane 2 LTE, remove all features that are not compatible (SIM, WiFi, etc...) and make a ROM for G Watch. Anyone with experience here?

Developer ab123321 has ported Android Wear 2.0 from the LG G Watch R to Dory: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=72738902&postcount=342

This thread is now discussion about Wear 2.0
[LG G Watch] DespairFactor:
This is definitely doable, just not sure how things work exactly with the watches as far as partitions go. Maybe some of the previous ROM devs on here can help out with that bit, I am new to supporting wear devices. If we can get the blobs ironed out it should be pretty easy, we should have part of a device tree from TWRP.
[LG G Watch] konradit:
[MENTION=5169465]DespairFactor[/MENTION] Hi, nice to see you around here!

Do you have the G Watch? I can provide anything you need. I have 6.0.1 Wear, root (read only /system) and TWRP 3.0.2-0. Let's just wait for a square watch to receive N preview, or maybe port from emulator image? Most people believe the G Watch will not get updated due to not having a crown button, a crown button is crucial for Android Wear since it now acts as a back function, instead of the traditional swipe to left. Also the G Watch has now 3 major OS versions (KK, LP, MM) so it's not a surprise Google abandon it now, following Nexus update cycle. The watch is incredibly useful even after the years. [MENTION=2385005]invisiblek[/MENTION] made a very good kernel for G Watch, maybe he can help. As far as the partitions go, I will reply later with a command output.

Also I can make a little app to perform a back command using swipe to left gesture like most Android Wear unofficial launchers do
[LG G Watch] konradit:
See my previous answer.

Here is everything about partitions: https://gist.github.com/KonradIT/e2372ac3d74e671a3e98e8d3ecb93676

System dump: (adb pulling, will upload later)

About porting from an emulator image, are there cases of stable ports from Android emulator? I have a square android wear 280x280 cloned G Watch emulator instance running Android Wear N, I can also upload it.

Google released N Wear Developer Preview for the Huawei Watch and LG G Watch Urbane 2gen LTE, both round watches. For the G watch, a square watch is needed. Google will probably release a developer image for Asus ZenWatch 2 or Sony Smartwatch 3 (or even Samsung Gear Live??) down the road. The Asus ZenWatch 1 also does not have a crown, making it less likely to receive Android Wear 2.0 N.

G Watch and ZenWatch 2 have pretty similar specs (same SoC, same graphics module, same RAM, same internal storage space):

G Watch: http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_g_watch_w100-7718.php

ZenWatch 2: http://www.gsmarena.com/asus_zenwatch_2_wi501q-7689.php

(G watch does not have a speaker btw, ZenWatch 2 does!)

Regarding TWRP, build here (it works wonders): http://xdaforums.com/g-watch/orig-development/recovery-twrp-2-7-1-0-touch-recovery-t2827887

I personally love my G Watch a lot, looks like I'm not upgrading this year!
[LG G Watch] DespairFactor:
They generally will not expand the preview to other devices, they don't ever do it. Also, the OS likely has the images and stuff for the square devices in case others want to port it. I can see Sony doing it themselves and releasing it, but not ASUS. Regardless, I would need to pull apart the G watch system dump for vendor files and to rip apart the developer preview images to see what we can do with it. Chances are it'll take quite a bit of work, so I would be open to having others jump in to help out. Perhaps this should turn into a github org/hangouts chat.
[LG G Watch] konradit:
Do you have the G Watch? I forgot my cradle and I am pushing the image via bluetooth, so it will take some hours. Any other partition you need? My emulator image is x86, download armeabi v7 now!

/G_Watch_port_armeabiv7.avd is a folder with settings from emulator which is similar to G Watch in terms of specs

/G_Watch_port_armeabiv7.ini is a file for emulator

/system_g_watch_mm.img is a system dump from G Watch with the latest Wear OS (MM)

So, what is left to start porting? :)

The emulator image from google takes 740 MB, and we have 500 or so.
