[General Questions and Answers] KM.7StyleR:
iOS on Android phone is impossible right now. You can get a lot of similary to iOS themes but noyhing else. And why people choose iOS ? 1.more apps 2.They dont need to root phone or install some custom rom's to run better, Iphone is a good, fast device from first unboxing (Android phones in prices like Iphone 4,4S are too very smooth without mods ;D ).
[General Questions and Answers] XEDEXA:
Why i came here ?

Because there is 1 gane in particular, Pubg and it runs good on ios. Because it is optimised good. So if i can get ios into my low end hardware. It would be great. I think
[General Questions and Answers] ktmom:
It runs well on IOS because an iPhone is not a low end device [emoji6]
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kislap:
Hi mates,

i have samsung galaxy s sc-o2b japan nttdocomo!!!

When i got that one second hand i saw that it has no imei and it was already flashed with normal galaxy s file and now i want to use that one! Is there any way to recover imei or write new one?
[Droid X General] system6:
I have had probably 8-12 Android handsets. I recently switched to an iPhone from my EVO and I hated my iPhone. I wanted to go with something pretty similar to my EVO so I checked out the screen, specs, user reviews, etc. The Droid X sounded great, but since having it, it locks up, freezes, and Lags like a G1. This NOTHING like my EVO and is disappointing to say the least.

I'm really hoping that a custom ROM can speed up the interface and possibly help with the battery life. Any recommendations? I don't want to theme, or skin...no interest in changing the bootlogo, etc... I just want a nice and FAST phone.

I use a lot of apps...I DON'T let any apps refresh automatically though. I also use Launcher Pro. Thanks in advance.

(Please don't tell me to read the sticky. I have. I need some real life experienced reviews....maybe people who have had an EVO or who understand what I want. Thanks)
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
LMFAO, i wrote the sticky, which has instructions on how to root and while I havent had the time to update everything I did cover some ROMs which include what you have asked for, so not quite sure what else you could be looking for.... But if you really want an explanation:

Root the phone using z4root and then try out a ROM like Rubix Focused 2.0.1. Drod2169 built the ROM and I am currently using it. The interface is very quick and responsive. He has added in multiple governor settings for overclock which include a conservative governor to allow for better battery life. You can use apps like Droid Overclock (jrummy16) and setCPU to change these governor settings as well. Rubix does very well when overclocked if that is something you are interested in.

If you are looking for a ROM that still has some Blur components in it, then try out Apex 1.4.1 or Rubix 2.0 Blurry. Both are very responsive and have some of the blur that certain people out there are looking for. Last but not least, it seems a great majority of people like Liberty 1.5. I used the ROM for quite some time, and it is very responsive, but a lot of people seem to have issues with lag or reboots. I never had this issue, so I can't quite speak to that issue...

ROM's are really more of a matter of personal choice. Try out a few and see what you like.

As far as a comparison to the EVO... my roommate has one, and 2 of my other best friends have one. I have done MULTIPLE benchmarking tools on their phones to compare against my X (on multiple ROMs). None of their tests have beat mine... In my opinion, the only differences between the EVO and the X is this:

1) Evo has unlocked Bootloader to allow custom kernels so you can run ROMS like CynanogenMod (but given time, CVPCS is compiling CM for the X)

2) Evo has front facing camera for those who can't wait to talk to people via a webcam.

3) Evo has a slightly quicker GPU (graphics processing unit) than the X, but winds up limited to 30FPS for the most part. Some of the benchmarks I have seen on the X jump it up to 62FPS on tests I have run.

4) Evo runs sense from HTC. If you want a "Sense" feel... some have made themes that look just like Sense....but you said you don't want a theme.

That's about it...
[Droid X General] system6:
The sticky is EPIC...honestly, it's just data and info. I guess I am looking more for opinions. Thank you for the insight.

I had an EVO and that thing had not once, ever, locked up or froze. 2nd day on my Droid X after a hard reset and it is SO laggy.

Unlock screen even lags to get to home. IDK.... I def don't want the "blurware", but the benchmarks on this phone are impressive. It's response and use have not been, in my opinion.

My wife has the Samsung Vibrant and the specs are amazing for that phone too, but NEVER have I seen a phone lock up and freeze so much. She gave her old G1 to my mom and it's like they run at about the same speed.

I'm real tech savy, a huge phone nerd, etc....I just really didn't like my iPhone. I use Apple products for everything else as I am an audio engineer by profession, but the iPhone was SO limited. I had to hack the crap out of it to get basic things that are available on freebie candybar phones.

One thing I have noticed is that it seems to build my photo cache REALLY slow. Now... I have 14 GBs of photo/video on their, but everytime I open a gallery it takes forever to load. It is getting better about this, slowly but surely....do you think my unit is defective, I am expecting too much, or the more I play with it and let it buld a good cache, etc, it will run better?

Thanks for responding, and THANK YOU for the sticky... If I decide to root that thing will be a lifesaver!
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
I think the type of sdcard you have also makes a difference. If you have a new class 6 card instead of what the phone comes with (I think it is like class 2 or 3) then the read/write speed should be a lot better. I have been using the latest Rubix ROM for about 2 weeks now, and I don't experience any lag or reboots/freezing. I really like this ROM, and actually talk to Drod2169 (the developer) a decent amount. I would take a look at Rubix or Fission 2.5.7 as these are both blur-free ROM's.

I am also a huge tech nerd/geek. I have tweaked the crap out of my X. I have probably tried every ROM/theme there is for this thing, and right now I'm sitting solid on Rubix. I also used Darkslide 4.2 Blurless for a while. It is a ROM built by BBCrackman and some others over at mydroidworld. I would suggest trying Darkslide out. It is pre-themed by the makers of the ROM but I think it has been the most reliable and snappy ROM I have used besides Rubix 2.0.

If you have questions, shoot them at me in here, or hit me up on gchat.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aerobahn:
The camera on the Nexus S cannot zoom, even when rooted. Has anyone figured out why? Is this a *bug* or is it intended? I really thought Google was going to fix it with the 2.3.3 update; hopefully it gets added in for 2.3.4.

Are there technical limitations preventing our phones camera from zooming or is it a software limitation?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DKYang:
Good clear zooming is a hardware limitation.

Crappy zooming can be implemented via software. Called digital zoom or something like that.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm sure that I'm right. Got all this info from when vibrant people were arguing about the camera.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andrew421:
The nexus s is android in it's simplest form. Being a dev phone you don't really need zoom. Go find a different camera app like vignette
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorak950:
DKY is right; the zoom in other SGS phones operates the same way as taking a full-frame picture, then later cropping it: the resolution of the relevant part of the picture is no better than it would have been in the larger frame; it's just bigger on any restricted-size display.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirdroid:
I find it odd as well ... but as suggested I will try the other camera app.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ykphuah:
Yes I find it odd as well. The previous phone that I have is HTC Magic which is a Pure Google phone as well, and it have Zoom (I don't care if its digital, its much easier to use than cropping), and the zoom icon is now replaced with the button to switch between front and back camera on NS.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt2053:
Digital zoom is RUBBISH and I don't want it on my phone.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ykphuah:
And I just realized, the "crop" function makes the photo to have a maximum x/y resolution of 1024!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericshmerick:
Digital zoom is horrid...especially if you are zooming in on a low quality image like the NS produces. I don't even use it on my SGSII because I never want to degrade my image.

You can always zoom and crop after taking the image, which is all digital zoom does anyway.
[Atrix 4G General] professor_chaos:
I got an Atrix last month, I'm new to Android and haven't really had time to figure out rooting, sideloading, tethering, roms (odexed/deoxexed), etc...

My question is this - what am I really missing out because the Atrix has a signed bootloader?

It seems that custom ROMS are available for the Atrix and other motorola devices with a signed/locked bootloader. What practical limitations does not being able to install a custom kernel impose?

Ability to run stock versions of new Android versions might be one limitation... but I've heard that unless there's an official update, hardware acceleration doesn't work.

Also, can anyone point me to a primer about Android hacking/development concepts?
[Atrix 4G General] networkn:
I am also interested to know definitively as well.
[Atrix 4G General] vista1984:
signed bootloader will prevent us from install any unsigned kernel.

so mainly, if motorola will not give us a android 2.4 update, no way that we can install any custom 2.4 system.

locked and signed are different. locked bootloader is easy/possible to unlocked.

but signed bootloader hardly can be solved.

like moto droid, the bootloader also been signed, few custom roms. but moto milestone, the international version of droid, the bootloader had only been locked, alot of custom roms there.
[Atrix 4G General] TareX:
That gives me a lot of hope the Canadian Atrix might have a locked but unsigned bootloader... Will find out next week, I guess.
[Atrix 4G General] tonga88:
opposite the droid has closed bootloader and have it signed landmark.

The Roms are for the milestone are based on the kernel of motorola!

todo lo contrario el droid tiene el bootloader cerrado y el hito lo tiene firmado.

Las Roms que hay para el hito son basadas en el kernel de motorola!

PS: Sorry for my English
[Atrix 4G General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
the thing is. the canadian atrix is almost 99% sure the same as the US version. so if the canadian one will not have unsigned bootloader, then the US version of the phone will be do the chicken dance.

even though. i think from now on, most if not all companies will have a signed bootloader.

No company wants you to keep your old phone. with karnels and stuff more and more people find almost no reason to upgrade.

"if my phone can have the same software as a new phone, why would i upgrade ? "

they keep talking about CPU and GPU. yet there are not enough games to justify the GPU graphics update and buy a new phone. at the end of the day, this is a phone with ability to play games. not a gaming handheld with the ability to make a call.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anothen:
I have had an issue where MMS video have split into .qcp & .jpg as though it is a slideshow with one image and audio as opposed to retaining the .3gp video format (or whatever video format it may be).

Here is what has fixed it finally!:

format data/factory reset & clear cache

Flash Stock Rom (http://www.virtuousrom.com/p/other-releases.html) -You will need to downgrade Clockwork Recovery to 2.x.x.x from 3.x.x.x to be able to flash the stock Rom

Verify MMS Video works in Stock Rom

Format Data/factory reset & clear cache

Flash new Rom (I've found MIUI does NOT work as of 3.14.11)

SUCCESS!!

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickyjohn:
I have an eris and also having the same problem. Everybody i talked to don't know why its happening. Its been going on since Froyo came out and im running Gingerbread myself. Some think cause were not flash supported... but dont u have it on your phone? i think its something with the voice data or somewhere along those lines, i had the same problem years ago on windows 6.1 for my vogue. and the fix was either changing the mms values or the epst settings. Just thought i fill u in, in what i knew, since it was quite on your thread. Im on the hunt for the fix cause i also get videos of my kids.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anothen:
Yes, flash is supported on my phone and should be on yours too if you're running Gingerbread or even Froyo so it has nothing to do with that. Windows has settings that are easily changed in the registry or through epst. I think android is a little more difficult (or maybe dumbed down) because I don't know where to find the MMS values or even what they should be. I've also tried changing the APN with no change but I don't think that would change anything because I can still get pictures and regular texts with no problem so it is not an issue with them downloading.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickyjohn:
So what was the main problem? I found this and thought u might b interested. dont work for me but it might for you.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anothen:
I can access epst settings (not sure if applies for all androids) by dialing ##3282##. I honestly haven't the slightest clue what the specific issue is. I've now figured out it works with a stock Froyo ROM but quits working when I flash a different ROM for some reason
[Xoom General] Shadomastr:
Hello Xoom owners,

I have been closely following the progress of the Xoom and am excited with what I'm seeing. I plan on purchasing the Wifi version when it releases in April. The reason I am interested in the Xoom is the productivity aspect of it, i.e. typing and web browsing. I'm not too worried about video playback or apps right now. My question to you is, how proficient is the Xoom in these categories? I need this tablet to be as much of a standalone device as it can be (unlike another tablet that needs to be plugged into itunes). I am happy to see usb mounting because this will help file transferring even more. I used pages on the ipad and was moderately impressed. Any opinions? How does the Xoom match up to the ipad in writing and the web?

Thanks in advance!

[Xoom General] freddyraptor22:

i hav same concern, i guess xoom is much better than ipad2 coz of productivity, right now i dont care about apps. i want to browse faster...is it the ultimate machine to browse ??? one more thing can i use netflix thru browser

thankx
[Xoom General] mchimney:
The Xoom has zzero productivity apps, no word processor no excel. Honeycomb will Bea great os once they get rid of the lag, until that point apple really does win because it just works. Now i have a Xoom and the I pad 2, I love them both and trying to pick which one to return is ggoing to br vvery hard.
[Xoom General] cwizardtx:
Documents to Go is available on android and iOS platform. What makes you claim that Xoom has zero productivity apps?
[Xoom General] rlrbjr:
I have Documents to Go and although it's not optimized for Honeycomb, I haven't had any problems with it. I'm looking forward to a tablet version but for now I don't have any complaints.
[Xoom General] vincentm:
What about Google Docs? Is the standard html5 interface accessible?
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
I also use documents to go on the XOOM. No problems at all making word and excel docs. It also does power point, but i don't.
[Xoom General] funnycreature:
If it is just for the "I need a word processor NOW" effect then go with the iPad. From what I've heard the Pages, Numbers, and Keynote apps are pretty sweet. If you want a great overall experience of a real OS, however, you should stick with the Xoom. I love how I can play around with it. And since I have no urgent need to write a lot or crunch numbers on the Xoom (that's what I have my laptop for for now) I will wait until something really effective comes out. For now I'm stuck with the Documents To Go which is very basic but at least I can open and view documents decently. Yes, it's the paid version.
[Xoom General] funnycreature:
HAHA! I would say what you get from D2G in regards to PowerPoint is more comparable to a very pathetic "PDF" version of a .ppt(x) file. No animations, picture effects are messed up, etc. BUT, if you have plain and simple presentations you can view them OK.
[Xoom General] bobdude5:
It doesnt match up at all. You just have to be patient, or go with the ipad. I chose the latter, but I'm impatient.
[Xoom General] greengoldmello:
No netflix thru the browser because Netflix uses silverlight which has no android port.
[Xoom General] Shadomastr:
I have no problem waiting for the word processing to get better on the xoom. I'm not planning on writing papers on this thing, maybe just rough drafts but it needs to have something. Probably going with the xoom, just having second thoughts after seeing the ipad 2.

[Xoom General] slshults:
docs.google.com works for me. i'm not doing anything with word docs and excel docs that cause any problems. i rely on docs.google.com for my cr-48 too. or at least i did. since the xoom arrived the cr-48 isn't getting much lovin'. :-)

---UPDATE---

Please see this post for the more recent Dolphin Browser add-on.

---/UPDATE---

I've just ported my app Tampermonkey for Google Chrome to Android. :)

Please note that it is still in beta status. Atm Android 2.1 is required

market://search?q=pname:net.biniok.tampermonkey

https://market.android.com/details?id=net.biniok.tampermonkey

May be you can play a little bit with Tamermonkey and test some Userscripts.

Due to the fact that phones does not have a really fast cpu, you may have to be a little patient. ;)

If there are non working scripts it would be nice if you could test it with Tampermonkey for Google Chrome and Chromium too.

Tampermonkey for Google Chrome and Chromium:

https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/dhdgffkkebhmkfjojejmpbldmpobfkfo

[Android Apps and Games] XlAfbk:
Well, I'm very interested in scripting pages and would love to have some of my desktop browsers scripts on mobile as well. But I'd need them in my prefered mobile browser, if I have to start a different app just to get some script improvements it's not worth it to me. Dunno, maybe it's possible to inject the app into the renderer lib and work in every browser that's using the systems rendering engine?
[Android Apps and Games] nibras_reeza:
I've always loved Greasemonkey on Firefox. I never used your extension on Chrome since Chrome natively supports user scripts(minus the some greasemonkey features, obviously.)

But, thanks a lot for this. I've been waiting for this for a long. I really wanted userscripts on Android.

I really don't use it much but it comes in handy with some of those auto-redirects and auto-submissions. Really handy. Thanks a lot.

Hey guys, nice to see that userscript support for android seems to be interesting. ;)

I already thought about something like this cause I don't want to implement a whole browser, but a extension. I'll talk to the Dolphin developers, how to write a extension. :)

Ok, I know that the desktop version of Opera supports userscripts but this is new to me too. Unfortunately the opera support does as far as I know not include Greasemonkey compatibility, so the Opera mobile version may lag of this too. I'll check this. The problem is that almost all of the users just want to run ideally all scripts from userscripts.org. They don't care if the script was written for a special browser, they just want to use them. At least this is my experience with Tampermonkey for Chrome. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Nikishek:
Try Opera Mobile (browser). It has defaultly included support for Greasemonkey scripts.
