What's your smartphone? And what ROM are you using?


Recommended Posts

Physical or onscreen? The physical has never FCd on me and onscreen I use Swype but I dont remember anything like that on stock KB....

Both. I've had the physical FC when Im just opening the damn thing. Never seems to when Im using it though.

Galaxy S2 using Hydrog3n rom, and it's amazing!

Same here. If you haven't already, I'd recommend installing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1555259 (Siyah Kernel) It has improved my battery life a hell of a lot and it's also a lot quicker than the kernel that comes with Hydrog3n. :D

Just put Endymion latest version (v3.5 I think) on my Desire S and the battery usage seems appauling. Going to have to get a battery stats thing to see where it's all going :/ 58% and it was on charge all night and I've sent about 20 texts, taken 1 picture and emailed it, and it's now half 4.

Although I was on the phone for just over half an hour this morning but after that it was still only on 87%.

I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus. Right now I have AOKP Build 35 on it, but I will flip between that and Gummy (both are great). I'm also using Imoseyon's Lean Kernel (if you have a GNEX I highly recommend this kernel) Battery life is pretty good for a 4g device... I'm usually at around 20% with 15-16 hours of use (2-3 hours screen on time)

I like Gummy as well. But I like the themes that come with AOKP

  • 3 months later...

Tried AOKP Milestone 6 but it has an issue with WiFi Tethering. also tried ICS333 2.1 very good ROM fluid and fast with no annoying issues.

Now on CyanogenMod 9 but it has minor issues with performance and apps randomly close mid use could be better, had thought that this ROM might have been issue free. might go back to ICS333 2.1 if I cant find another suitable ROM

Any ideas?

JB is as they say, amazingly fluid. I can notice the improvement over ICS nearly instantly. BLN notification works with BLN app. Battery life has returned from 8hr with CM9 to 15hr or so with this build/kernel. Underwater sound when in call seems to be gone as well :)

    • I like Tidal, but it still does not control devices from the mobile/app and still no surround support. And yeah re: above comment I still get a lot of network errors and I am on a 4/4 Gbit Fiber connection.
    • Aren`t "security features" and "AI model that can see your screen" a tad diametric!
    • Samsung, Amazon extend 990 PRO 2TB NVMe SSD deal beyond Prime Day 2026 by Sayan Sen Recently, we had Amazon's Prime Day 2026 sales wherein there were several great deals including on SSDs. One of those discounted components was the Samsung 990 PRO SSD as the 2TB variant of it was selling for $370, a very good price after a long time. Although that deal was supposed to expire today, Amazon has now extended that sale further (purchase link under the specs table down below). The 990 PRO is a PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD and still one of the fastest drives available today for under $400. Speaking of fast, sequential reads and writes are rated at 7450 MB/s and 6900 MB/s, respectively. The random throughputs for reads and writes are 1400K IOPS and 1550K IOPS, respectively. The 990 PRO is based on Samsung's 7th Gen V-NAND flash, and it too is TLC. It packs 2 gigs of LPDDR4 DRAM cache, which helps the random performance. The endurance rating for this is 1200 TBW (terabytes written), which should be sufficient for most users. The Samsung 990 PRO is compatible with the PlayStation 5, but if you are going to use the 990 PRO on a PC, check out the Samsung Magician app that lets you track your drive's health, update its firmware, customize various settings, and more. The technical specs of the Samsung 990 PRO 2TB are given in the table below: Specification Value Form Factor M.2 2280 Interface PCIe Gen 4.0 x4, NVMe 2.0 NAND Flash Samsung V-NAND TLC Controller Samsung In-house Controller Cache Memory Samsung 2GB Low Power DDR4 SDRAM Sequential Read Speed Up to 7,450 MB/s Sequential Write Speed Up to 6,900 MB/s Random Read (4KB, QD32) Up to 1,400,000 IOPS Random Write (4KB, QD32) Up to 1,550,000 IOPS Random Read (4KB, QD1) Up to 22,000 IOPS Random Write (4KB, QD1) Up to 80,000 IOPS Operating Temperature 0°C to 70°C Reliability (MTBF) 1.5 Million Hours Endurance 1,200 TBW (Total Bytes Written) Get it at the link below: Samsung 990 PRO SSD 2TB NVMe SSD (MZ-V9P2T0B/AM): $369.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Glad im on the right boat. Tidal has lots of issues in terms of app and music mix, its worst than spot but its honest. Spot algo is very tendentious and they pess less to artists, so im comfortable with the tidal errors, for now.
    • Tidal won't monetize AI slop music, company says by David Uzondu Image via Tidal Tidal has announced an AI policy aimed at protecting artists and their crafts, as AI music generation tools continue to improve both in speed and quality. According to the music streaming platform, AI-generated music will be accepted, but these tracks will be held to a "higher standard" of content integrity. Next month, the company plans to auto-identify and tag these uploads. Listeners will spot a special icon next to content that algorithms flag as 100% AI-generated starting mid-July, and the platform hopes to expand this tag to partially generated songs as detection tech improves. Any AI music that exploits an artist's voice or likeness will be taken down, and Tidal will immediately block tracks associated with fraudulent activity, which includes artificial streaming and deceptive content that interferes with real creators. And finally, music that's 100% AI-generated will not be monetized. Tidal said there is "ongoing debate" about whether certain licensed synthetic models deserve payouts, so it's possible that this part will change in the future. Streaming platforms are absolutely getting flooded with AI-generated music because of how easy it is to pump out endless tracks every minute. To give you an idea of how "bad" it is, Deezer alone reported that synthetic uploads now make up about 44% of its daily intake, which translates to roughly 75,000 automated tracks hitting its servers every single day. Interestingly, Deezer found most people cannot tell the difference between human and machine creations, with an Ipsos study revealing that 97% of listeners failed to spot the AI-generated tracks. Spotify's CEO recently pushed back against listeners who call AI music "slop," urging people to stop using the term and instead embrace the creative potential of AI music. The Swedish platform partnered with Universal Music Group to test "legal and controlled" generative AI tools that let subscribers remix songs with AI.
