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

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 :)

    • Opinion. All you did was blame Democrats for everything. You offered nothing but a hit piece to support your pro Trump, anti union right wing ideology.
    • Excuse me for having an opinion, fella'... (Why am I not surprised?...) Congrats on your very informative post however...
    • By the sounds of that wall of Fox News propaganda gibberish attacking the Democratic Party you've already had plenty of "juices" flowing this morning. You've ruined what could have been a productive comment thread.
    • (Topic to get the juices flowing this Sunday morning!...) Actually, the situation has almost nothing to do with "lack of skills", especially since assembly-line skills can be taught to anyone, including Americans, certainly. Rather, the inadequacy-to-impossibility of large-scale tech manufacturing in America today, and the reasons why America finds tech manufacturing completely onerous in the 21st century, has to do with politically driven laws amid a plethora of non-scientific, utterly politicized "science-fact" that is patently false, punitive business taxation at every turn, an array of judicial fines of unimaginable scope and complexity, and, last but not least, American unionization strictures that serve to actually slay job creation and hobble all such manufacturing endeavors in America before they can get off the ground. Globalism emerged, they tell us, as the needed answer to American hubris and an unholy American drive to excel. Unless one is buried under mounds of political propaganda, it's easy to see the absurdity of labeling the employees of SpaceX, for instance, as "unskilled labor"... Etc. ad infinitum. At one time in the recent past, American manufacturing prowess was the envy of the world in a wide variety of technical fields! The current federal and state government roadblocks against America becoming competitive globally in tech manufacturing are considerable, it's true, as anyone with a working brain knows. But remarkably, that is only half the story! The other half of the story is, of course, the corporations themselves... Chinese tech manufacturing is simply unassailable in terms of profits, because the Chinese government wants to see its tech manufacturing second-to-none globally so that no companies/nations can compete in terms of ROI, and China has completely succeeded in that goal. Let's tic-off a few things: *Chinese tariff policies are set according to what is considered best for Chinese business, Chinese employees, and the Chinese people. Huge difference with how things are done with tariffs in the US--as the US government (SCOTUS in this case, Congress in others) plainly feels that tariffs are "unfair" for the limited number of citizens who may pay them, whereas nothing is "unfair" when Congress considers the Personal Income Tax rates to be infinitely hike-able, along with infinitely enlarging annual budget deficits. *The Chinese government boldly subsidizes Chinese companies to artificially amplify their profits. *The Chinese government deliberately refuses to avidly demonize Chinese businesses and does not consider Chinese businesses "the enemy", so very unlike American (D)s these days. *Chinese labor laws and businesses are allowed to set their own labor policies according to what Chinese companies consider is best for companies and their employees... Simply put, American workers in tech manufacturing are not allowed to set their own labor policies! * One additional problem corporations have that I also do not sympathize with is they don't want to pay to train their American employees. They could easily do so, but would rather not have to pay for it. I find that pathetic, actually. It is the height of hypocrisy for Americans to decry working conditions in China while simultaneously ensuring that American products are manufactured in China, not in the US, simply to maximize profits. There is nothing wrong with making a profit, of course, absolutely nothing. But there is plenty wrong with attempts to normalize hypocrisy of this kind! But rank hypocrisy and the (D) party in the US are longtime bedfellows... The current government in Washington is working overtime to see if it can toss out the horribly poor, failed economic policies of the past, while the (D)s still in Washington work very hard to bring back the stupidity whenever possible. With the right policies in place, America can be an infinitely competitive manufacturer.
