Shitty Rambo Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 rambo, how do you have your battery status as a circle like that? Xposed Framework with the Gravity Box module. There's all kinds of goodies in that module! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbruise Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I have yet to really dig into Xposed. I do have gravitybox enabled, just don't use it much. I've heard it created problems with CM10.2. Speaking of problems, I get about 2-4 random reboots daily. I have no idea whats causing it and xda hasn't been much help surprisingly. It's starting to get on my nerves.

Shitty Rambo Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 That's just typical CM behavior I'm afraid :/ If you're still rocking the S3 cleanROM just put out a core 4.3 ROM. It's kicking ass, I'm getting insane battery life and can use DashClock on a stock based ROM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbruise Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Never heard of CleanROM. I've been on CM10.2 for a looong time, I got sick of switching ROM's all the time. It was fun at first, but I had too many problems with some. The random reboot sucks big time, fix it already. I did download a boot log app, so when it crashes it records a log, but I don't know how to read it. I was hoping it would show me what app was doing what before the crash, giving me the app that was causing the problem, but it's pretty much a foreign language.

Shitty Rambo Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Essentially the OS just collapses on itself. As far as I can remember this has been an issue with CM since the CM7 days. Make a nandroid and try out CleanROM Core (almost all stock apps are gone except for the few 'necessary' ones). With Unicon you can remove the gross TW icon theme and make it look fairy close to vanilla Android, and it behaves really really well. I tend to favor modified stock ROMs given the base OS was developed by the manufactures for that specific device with money dropped into R&D/testing opposed to an OS made by some dude with SDK installed on his Windows XP PC haha.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 any idea whats going to be new with kitkat for the s4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shitty Rambo Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 any idea whats going to be new with kitkat for the s4? Honestly the only difference between .3 and .4 I've noticed on my Nexus 7 is the ability to set user profiles. I don't imagine anyone would need this feature for their phone though. It wasn't a very big or noticeable upgrade on Google's end, although that doesn't mean Samsung won't cook up their own unique apps that integrate things like always-on voice search or something (although I wouldn't count on it, they tend to ignore their devices once they're on the market and focus on the next year's follow up device). Here's a list of what 4.4 brings, nothing really obviously useful, just some under-the-hood updates that don't do a whole lot outside of Chrome browsing: http://www.slashgear.com/android-4-4-kitkat-guide-to-whats-new-slashgear-101-31303735/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shitty Rambo Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I didn't really want to make a new thread, but have you guys seen all the crazy crap Samsung is putting out? Admittedly, with the openness of Android, I'm pretty intrigued by that goofy ass VR headset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futures Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I'll have to watch that once I get home. Kitkat destroyed my S4. I'm so pissed about it. Ever since I did the upgrade my phone has been freezing, lagging, heating up, shutting down unexpectedly, the screen won't turn on when I press the wake button - it just stays black for minutes at a time, etc. It's really annoying and Idk what to do about it. =\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluedeni Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I really dug the Note 4 edge. I kind of wish it was bothering ander though. I thought it overall a pretty awesome presentation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure your device is in better condition than my s3, the power button it broken so I have to use remapped keys and onscreen controls to wake/sleep the screen and can't enter recovery so I'm stuck on my current ROM. I'm really considering switching to Sprint since they offer $60/unlimited everything but I'll probably wait until the iPhone 6 is out so I can get that for my wife. Also, a Verizon rep told me I could sell my unlimited data plan(s) on eBay since it's possible for them to let someone else take over your plan. People sell 1 unlimited data line for $560, I'm pretty sure I'm going to do that before I leave Verizon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even know how it would fix my issues lol. The phone is under a year old, I got it at the end of last October. There's no reason why it should be acting this way. I guess I could wipe it and start over... Idk how to get back my themes and apps that I paid for though. & That is WILD about those unlimited data plans. Holy shit! I have unlimited, but I'm on AT&T.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 So ive got a foreign exchange student here thru january and he wants to buy a smartphone unlocked that he can take with him back to Brazil. Thats possible, right? Can he get a phone here and not be tied to a contract? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really bums me out :/ You guys should try Chomp, it's the fastest sms app I've used https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.p1.chompsms&hl=en&referrer=utm_source%3Dgoogle%26utm_medium%3Dorganic%26utm_term%3Dchomp+sms+playstore&pcampaignid=APPU_lxULVI6bE4LmoAS3yYII So ive got a foreign exchange student here thru january and he wants to buy a smartphone unlocked that he can take with him back to Brazil. Thats possible, right? Can he get a phone here and not be tied to a contract? The Nexus 5 is a global device and comes without a contract. It's basically the 'Google phone' and should get all the Android updates with no issues. It's not a bad price at all, if they were CDMA (Verizon) compatible I'd absolutely get one. http://www.google.com/nexus/5/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 so we could go to best buy and just buy the phone and take it to whatever cell provider for the phone plan? (we wont be going to verizon for his phone service, most likely we'll go with ATT because we have a microcell in our house) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(we wont be going to verizon for his phone service, most likely we'll go with ATT because we have a microcell in our house) I would call and make sure they charge as much as Google is for the device outright and don't try and knock up the price a bit (cause Best Buy), but yes, they should have the device off contract for the same price as Google, next he would simply need to take it to a carrier like AT&T and see what kind of prepaid plans they offer, they'll set him up with an off contract plan and give him a sim card.
