Does the Music app still download the music files like this: 0001.mp3, 0002.mp3, 0003.mp3, etc.?
I'm dying for them to allow real file names and tags on these files!! This would at least allow other third-party players to use them properly.

My home screen post rooting!
So much better than Sense. Still never going to get a HTC again, I had to hassle around a lot to get widgets working for Apex Launcher as I had to root the phone. My phone experience is 100x better now!

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
I'm so conflicted. I think the extra RAM + on all 4 carriers = faster JB update for the GS3. Plus I think the phone has less issues than the One X stock. Amazon has the One X on the cheap low though so I'd save 80 bones with free shipping on that bitch.

Oh god if they update the Gmail app to do that I am installing that this second.

Apex still the best rom for Droid X? I have the phone for another few months and want to squeeze the best performance out of it I can.
Think my question got lost in the IO stuff, see above. Any help?
yeah, the GS3 is the better device if/when you get sick of skins also. I'm a little worried by how much Samsung integrated into the newest touchwiz and its delay in upgrading in the future

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
That article from The Verge (yesterday I think?) about Samsung Engineers throwing in some extra RAM because they weren't sure about JB specs bodes well though. It at least means for JB they were already thinking ahead on getting that out and understood the funny idea of the GS3 launching right before/during/after JB gets shown/released.
Would be almost a no brainer for me if I wasn't a sucker for the unibody lumia like design of the white One X + the $119 price tag on amazon.
The 2 gig of RAM is hard to argue with. If you dont get something this weekend you can see what comes of the Atrix 3, which looks to be an awesome phone as well, with a less intrusive skin
I wish I knew, man. I have a DX lying around that I have been wanting to load with CM9 just to try it out, but I haven't used that phone as a daily driver for about eight months.

Funk... I just saw a Note in the wild aka not at a store aka here at work... Someone just got one a week or two ago and showed it to me...
I don't think I'd like it but gosh dang that thing is seemed sooooo pimp. I didn't think I'd like the big massive screen or anything, but dang. The colors and the screen in general looked great. Plus OMG it was sooo big, but I was like OMG I can actually web browse on a non tiny screen.
Fuck GAF I sort of want that now, but I feel like it's old (in cell phone months) + expensive (for how old the device is). I just don't want to have to wait for the Note 2.

Hello all. First time I've unlocked and rooted a phone. Galaxy Nexus user trying to set up JellyBean. Mentioned this in the Nexus thread but didn't want to noob it up too much there.
I used the Galaxy Nexus Root Toolkit and backed up my files. Then I unlocked my phone, rebooted, successfully flashed to the jelly zip file that I have for Jelly bean. Loaded up fine (although it did hang at "loading" screen for 30 minutes the first time, after reflashing it worked great).
I restored my data using the Restore Data function in the Toolkit. Then I redownloaded my apps from the Play Store. But Im having issues with certain apps not being able to access storage directories. For example, Dogg Catcher and Dropbox saying that the storage is inaccessible or full.
So I figured I'd try the process all over again. Wiped the data using the Bootloader, deleted the cache, and the dalvik cache under advanced settings. Reflashed the jellbean ROM.
But now Im noticing nothing seems to actually "wipe". I have my pictures still on my phone, my mp3s, etc. When I connect the phone to my computer I see all of the app directories in the root folder that were created before. Is a wipe supposed to remove all of this?
Also, when I run the "superuser" app, and go to check for updates to verify, it passes all of the tests saying i have the most recent version, etc. When I click "update anyway" it fails on "gaining root access"
Any ideas? Most of my apps run fine but it seems like Im doing something wrong somewhere here and just trying to fix it.

No, wiping does not remove your mp3's, photos, and whatever is on your SD card. Do a factory reset, wipe cache, and dalvik all from the recovery menu. Also, there might be a wipe-all zip somewhere on XDA where it's a flashable .zip that just deletes all traces of the previous install.
I'm not sure if this is the same for the GNex but to check if it actually wiped everything, try wiping the data and boot up the phone. It shouldn't get past the "Google" logo. Although, I'm pretty sure it'll still show the bootscreen despite factory resetting it that's why I recommend trying to find that wipe-all zip/script

Thanks, still trying to get familiar with some of the terminology.
I just wiped data from the recovery console, wiped the cache, and dalvik.
Everything says "Wipe Complete" or Successful. No error messages that I see.
After reboot it still brings me past the Google logo and eventually to the "Welcome Page" and it's still the flashed Jelly Bean rom.
Dont have an SD card by the way, although I guess that doesnt matter.
Do you have a link to the wipe-all.zip?
I figured out how to stop my evo 3d from rebooting on its own. I figured I would try a factory reset again but this time I backed up my photos and contacts and formatted the memory card. For now, it seems to have worked. I should note that the I carried that memory card over from my original evo without doing a format.
If you do a factory rest it should clean everything out. The storage partition is considered the "sd card" on the GN.
--- This script will erase and format your system and cache partition using EXT4 file-system ---
--- It will also wipe /data partition, but /data/media (virtual SD card) will be untouched ---
--- You need to copy ROM .zip file to your virtual SD Card before using Super Wipe ---
I found this for the Galaxy Nexus:

I believe the last point is very important so make sure you copy it over first or have a backup.

Well the /storage folder itself only has one item in it. But in the root , there are folders there from before I unlocked/rooted my phone and can't be "factory" settings. IE; a folder for DoggCatcher, Paper Pictures, lightflow, etc, even though none of the apps are are on my phone currently. I assumed the wipe would remove this as well, but I don't know much so maybe Im off looking in the wrong direction.
Wipes from recovery are different from a factory reset. Through recovery you can wipe the partitions selectively. If there's nothing on the phone you want, go through system settings > backup & reset > Factory Reset.

It might be appealing since it's cheaper now if it actually had ICS verses waiting for the Note 2 which will probably be $300 on contract. :/
I was joking about a Google Now thread, but this thing is bananas, this is the type of stuff Schmidt was talking about when he was still CEO and headlining events.

I bought mine about a month ago. Yes, it's old and yes, it's fairly expensive. But it's awesome. I got mine from Amazon Warehouse for $475.Funk... I just saw a Note in the wild aka not at a store aka here at work... Someone just got one a week or two ago and showed it to me...

You can put stock ICS on it. Check xda or my post history, I think.

You are looking it the wrong way. In order to push the device to max hardware limit, you are much better of running the custom ROMs than official Samsung 4.0 ROM or Android AOSP ROM.
It takes time for the custom ROMS to get mature. IMO ROM scene for Galaxy Note has just gotten smooth recently. A couple months ago there was the horrible hardbrick bug. They just fixed it in CWM 5.5.0.4. The MIUI ROM is not even out yet, this is IMO much better ROM than CM or official Samsung ROM. Galaxy Note is by no mean old at all. With a good ROM it can run benchmark higher than S3. This is the advantage of buying hardware that's a few months old. If you get a Note 2 now, you have nothing but crappy Samsung ROM to work with.
Right with you.

Girlfriend just got the 4.0 ICS download prompt on her Droid Razr. I'm more excited than she is.
My girlfriend's One X is literally her facebook/texting device. It almost makes me depressed when she doesn't bother to update her apps

a good female friend of mine has the Samsung Galaxy S and it still has 2.2.1. I tried to convince her to update but she said "why should i... everything works..". She just doesn't care. I'm complete opossite and love updates on everything (tv, pc, smartphones).
Urghhhh that's frustrating!!
It takes less than 5 minutes of your time and has huge potential benefits! >_>

As someone making an Android app at the moment, smack her phone out of her hand and either step on it, recommending she replace it with a Galaxy Nexus, or you hold it hostage until she agrees to update it.

How do they say? Never run a touching system? Something like that.
When my brother got the official ICS update for his Sensation, it broke Sense. So whenever you went back to the home screen, Sense just restarted. They fixed it later, but now he never wants to do updates again. Quite tragic.

Well I'm from London and I get bus times and how long it will take me to travel to work. Considering this is a leaked ROM and only going to get better I am really impressed so far.
Vizio Co Star hands on. I guess it is using Vizios overlay, cool beans.
Nice.

I hope Google adds a subscription model to the play store for TV shows, cause I sure as shit am not paying $2 per episode when I have cable already.
Ugh, July is officially wait for stuff month. =(
