I'm on the fence about putting CM or anything else on my S4 because I love the Samsung camera app so much. Nothing compares. I still wanna play with other ROMs but I probably won't keep any.

Valtaherra posted:Okay so maybe I'm an idiot or something but after a lot of searching and reading, I can't find anything that remotely resembles how to actually install Cyanogenmod on my phone. I have a Sprint Galaxy S3, I already rooted it using CF Auto Root and Odin. I downloaded what I think might be Cyanogenmod but I'm not even sure if it isn't just some developer's package or something. I read the OP, scrolled back a bunch of pages, etc., and can't find anything that doesn't confuse the poo poo out of me or look sketchy. Am I just stupid? I feel like I'm missing something big here If this is anything like the Sprint SGS2 which I've rooted, you can just use Odin to install ClockworkMod Recovery (or try to install it with Rom Manager on the Play Store since you're already rooted). Then you hold Volume Up and Menu and press/release Power and keep holding the other two. It will boot into the Recovery and you tell to install a file from Zip (you put the CM zip on the root of the phone storage or whatever). Obviously find a guide and read it but that's the jist of it.

All I had to do was download the rom manager, and it asked me in the app to flash ClockworkMod, and then asked what rom I wanted to install. That was so ridiculously simple and no instruction set I could find anywhere said anything about it. Thanks man!

I looked into this a bit more, and according to a thread on the AdAway site, it's the data compression in the beta channel of Chrome that's messing things up, since AdAway can't see the hosts for ads in the compressed data. Turned off the option, and no more ads.

The stock gapps Messaging app apparently can't automatically split texts into 140 character chunks, which I have to have because I'm on CDMA (D2USC running CM10.1). Is there an alternate version of the .apk for Messaging that has this feature? I was trying to switch off of GoSMS because its constant updates and nags were getting on my nerves, but I'm stuck with it unless I can find a version of the stock app that can auto-split messages.

LeftistMuslimObama posted:The stock gapps Messaging app apparently can't automatically split texts into 140 character chunks, which I have to have because I'm on CDMA (D2USC running CM10.1). By default CyanogenMod uses multipart (concatenated) SMS to ensure that messages are reconstructed in proper order regardless of the order in which they're received. Generally it works fine on GSM networks but support on CDMA is hit or miss. For example, parts of Sprint's network will hang when devices send concatenated SMSes and they strip away the user data header which specifies the message ordering (rendering them useless over plain-old split SMS). In contrast, Verizon handles them fine. Anyways, depending on what USC's issue is, what needs to be done is to set the system property "telephony.sms.pseudo_multipart=1". This will force the use of plain-old split SMS at the framework level, so that multipart SMS from Messaging or other clients "just work" (aside from the guarante of being received in proper order). If you can, give this a try with "adb shell setprop telephony.sms.pseudo_multipart 1". If it works, it can be added in future CM builds.

ExcessBLarg! posted:What's the actual problem you're having with Messaging? The issue I'm having is that any message longer than 160 chars (the single SMS limit) just fails to send. I get the notification telling me to re-try. I tried the command you posted in Terminal Emulator, and it started running and then said "Device not found". No joy. Basically, GoSMS's behavior is to actually in the foreground split the message into 160 char chunks and then send them one-at-a-time in sequence. When I type a really long message into Messaging, it shows the number of messages worth of SMSs I've written, but when I hit send it just shows it as one big SMS and then fails.

Hey, I'm having some weird bluetooth issues. I'm using XenonHD on my HTC One, which seems to be based on CyanogenMod, and compared to stock Android it's basically really flaky. My bluetooth disconnects from my car randomly when I load up a podcast in PocketCasts, and also doesn't seem to display currently played audio on my stereo either. Audio quality seems okay, and I'm loathe to go back to stock since 4.2.2 did help my battery life a fair bit. Is there any way to fix the above issues or should I just flash to CyanogenMod directly or something like that?

I'm finally getting around to rooting my nexus 4 because I actually have a reason to do so and I'm following this guide. The problem I'm having is that, since I'm on windows 8.1, the drivers in the zip file are not being recognized by windows as compatible; Windows just ain't seeing the drivers. Is there another way to root my device or should I just wait for new drivers? Also, windows 8.1 powershell (replaces command prompt) is slick as hell.

Any non-TouchWiz ROM gives me terrible battery life, mobile data and wifi connectivity. Guessing it's lacking some kind of propriety drivers or some such. Also, anything not based on a 3.0.x kernel was a bad experience too with the phone getting warm and wakelocks. Using the "Intergalactic" (lol) ROM on the AT&T S3 which is good. Gives you all the nice TouchWiz features with some nice backgrounds and other customizations. Just replace the default launcher with Nova and use the Google keyboard for a lag-free experience. Also, the custom kernels aren't awful and if you buy SetCPU and downclock to 1ghz and use Intellidemand/Row as your governor and scheduler settings, the battery life is pretty great. This is also contingent on turning off all location services. getting a timphone next time

Alright so I called Samsung, warranty still holds. My touchscreen on my Galaxy Nexus has been spazzing the gently caress out the last few days. It'll react without me touching it and turning the pointer on proves exactly that. I still have SU on my phone, do I need to delete it? Already did a factory reset but it's still sitting there. I also have a Canadian version (yajkuux vs stock yakju which I flashed to), so the ROM is different. Do I need to scour XDA and find a yakjuux ROM dump and reflash or is it okay to send it in with a google stock rom (jb4.2.2)?

Out of curiosity, is there a good feature list for CyanogenMod floating around? I've checked the wiki/etc and so far I haven't seen much in the way of a good robust feature list, just partial ones.

I tried the GE ROM yesterday and while boot time was noticeably faster, I didn't notice any major differences in the phone's performance. I considered keeping that ROM for a while but stuff started crashing all over the place and the camera app was just awful so I went back to TW. Honestly, TW is ugly and bloated but it's nothing a launcher and some tweaking won't fix. I'll give the GE ROM another chance when there's a more stable version out but I don't really see myself switching to it permanently unless it significantly improves my battery life or something like that.

I doubt downclocking even affects battery life and if anything it'll make it worse, since iirc the way multi-core ARM works is it uses all of one core and goes to the next one. If they're all slower it'll distribute the workload to more cores meaning more power use Is anyone using MIUI on their nexus 4?

If they're all slower it'll distribute the workload to more cores meaning more power use Yeah, manual downclocking is probably more of a bad idea. There's a reason mobile CPUs now often feature "turbo" modes where if only some cores are in use they'll run faster than the official clock speed up to a certain TDP budget, its a strategy referred to as "race to sleep" where if the CPU pulls 10% more power at max speed but can get the job done 15% faster you can get to sleep sooner and have a net savings of power. The same applies even more when other hardware is waiting on the CPU. The phone will automatically downclock itself under normal use, that's what the governor is for. Changing governors to fit your usage pattern can often help, but entirely disabling the default high speeds is as a rule not a good idea. Now if we're talking undervolting along with underclocking, that changes the game a bit, depending on how far one can undervolt.

I know I took the gamble when I flashed it, but PA on my Note 2 is terrible. Halo is cool and all, but app syncing does not work. For any app. I've already tried the obvious solutions and a few not-so-obvious. Back to a TouchWiz based ROM I guess. I loved a lot of poo poo that 4.2.2 did too.
