FlyingCheese posted:Also, I think the multitasking issues are a problem only with sense 4.x. I'm not so sure about that. I'm definitely noticing some different behavior since flashing this ROM. Facebook defaults to "Top Stories" or whatever rather than "Most Recent" when you launch it. With Gingerbread, it would retain that setting most of the time, but with this ROM it keeps flipping back. I've also noticed that Tasker doesn't update my location as well as it used to.

I hope this is the right thread for this. I recently rooted my first-gen Kindle Fire. Upon doing so, all of my books disappeared. After searching around, I found out that this could have been caused by updating the "Kindle" app. After deleting the update, my books returned. Now the problem that I have is that when I try to open any given book, the Kindle freezes for 5 - 30 seconds and then opens a book but not always the correct book. Well, actually it breaks down to: 50% of the time: opens the wrong book 45% of the time: opens the correct book, but not always on the correct page 5% of the time: crash to desktop Is there something wrong with my Kindle? Did I gently caress up the rooting process somehow? Any suggested fixes?

I certainly don't tell people to search for it themselves when they mention a specific problem hoping for a specific fix but if you want to try out custom ROMs for the first time then browsing xda is about the only way to get a handle on the problems unique to your handset. Of course there's always just using a device that doesn't have a terrible stock experience too.

I thought I'd give CM10 a try to see where it's at. Am I mistaken or does it lack the ability to use voice to invoke Google Now? The GApps package I flashed only gives the Nexus S options and it's missing the key word option. Edit: Nevermind, had to download the Offline Language Pack to enable it.

After using CM10 on my phone for the past 2 weeks I'm loving it, and it's making me want to unlock and root my Transformer Prime too. What worries me though is that I won't be able to use SuperNote anymore. Is it possible to get SuperNote (or any of the other ASUS stock apps for that matter) installed on CM10? What about the keyboard dock? Will changing ROM break that at all?

The Evo is old as balls, older than my G2 and you're not going to really see anything that's 100% Yeah, I figured that was going to be my issue. For an old phone though it's still pretty impressive. I got the newest version of MIUI and so far no problems but it's going to take a few days to run through all the features I normally use.

What about the keyboard dock? Will changing ROM break that at all? Can't help you with the other questions, but I found a supernote apk floating around on xda and it seemed to work fine on my HP Touchpad, so you should be fine. In case this helps anyone, CM10 for the GT-I9300 just fixed the major bugs (gradual memory leak and problems with fullscreen video) and it's pretty much spot on now. I got frustrated with the stock Samsung ROM quite quickly. The camera app is fantastic, but that's about it. The UI theme is not offensively bad or anything, but is unquestionably worse than stock AOSP. The extra features they add only kind of work, so I ended up disabling them anyway. Like, you can have the screen stay on if the front cam detects your face but it fails in dim light, so you can't rely on it. And you can tap the top of the phone to scroll to the top of a page, but it only works in Samsung apps, so it may as well not be there. There is a lot of cool technology there but a most of it is pretty half-baked or only works if everything you and your friends own was made by Samsung in the past year. /system/app has something like 250 apks in it, mostly for Samsung proprietary technologies, many duplicating existing Google functionality. A bunch load themselves as background services. I'm mildly ashamed, because buying this phone I'm telling Samsung "please continue unnecessarily loving with AOSP". But OK, I wanted a GNex with an SD card slot and now with CM10 I've got one.

...! posted:Is there something wrong with my Kindle? Did I gently caress up the rooting process somehow? Any suggested fixes? I always found the stock ROM to be wonky when rooted, especially if you install the Google Apps. IMO it's a much better experience to just go full AOSP and use the standard Android Kindle apps, as long as you don't depend on the library or Prime Video options. Those are disabled by rooting anyways though, so I guess at this point it all comes down to the launcher. All the currently-updated JB ROMs for the Fire are roughly equal, Hashcode's done a brilliant job with the kernel so it's all a matter of picking what tweaks you want. There's apparently also a project to get the new Kindle launcher from the HD models working on AOSP so you might be able to have the best of both worlds.

I've been loving CM10 on my Verizon Galaxy S3 for the past few days, but I want to flash a new CM10 nightly. Do I have to go through the whole complete wipe I did in Clockwork Mod again or is there some shortcut when flashing another nightly build on top of a current one?

You should be good with wipe cache + wipe dalvik cache. You can do a nandroid backup before and if you have any problems after the upgrade, just flash the nandroid, but you should be fine.

Any HTC One S users (T-Mo preferably) try the Wienerballs Buttcheek ROM yet? It's a Jellybean AOSP ROM, but I really dig stock-based mainly because of the camera. I don't really want to waste my time doing a Nandroid and all that jazz if it's not worth it. thanks. vvvvv Yeah dude, honestly I have no idea... Sometimes its best not to ask why things are this way. edit: Mainly concerned about mobile data. Some ROMs won't do 4G properly and will fluctuate from 3G to 4G constantly. Definitely not normal.

Success! CM10, TWRP, and NVFlash are all working properly on my Prime. Plus restoring the SuperNote app+data didn't break anything! Now I'm restoring everything else, and have to get back to customizing the home screen how I want it

Compared to CM10, I'd still stick with his because there's just so much less stuff to gently caress with in it. I really don't need to change the gamma colors or flash a new nightly build every night. It's nice to just have something that works without a whole lot of sperging.

I have a recently rooted Sprint Samsung Galaxy Nexus. I have crappy 3G and WiFi access at work, so I want to setup an adhoc network with my laptop, so I can share the wired connection on my laptop with my phone. Every "ad hoc" app I see basically allows you to connect your laptop to your phone so you can share the phone connection with it. Is there any app that will let your phone connect to an ad hoc network to use internet connection sharing from a laptop?
