Just curious as to peoples addiction to android?
Myself now have owned 7 different androids phones. I have the inc2 and wife has commando. We each have tablets. Me the Asus slide and she has the prime. Sunday we bought the Sony Blueray Google TV.

Not yet. This Galaxy S2 is my first android phone coming from iPhone. Must say I love it though even convinced the wife to switch to the same phone from her iPhone

Maybe I would be addicted to android if I wasn't addicted to cocaine.

I use it more than my laptop once I got miui running on my G2X

Rolling another green android as we speak.

I am definitely addicted to Android since discovering MIUI.us 2.2.3. Take the best features of IOS, add to it the best features of Android, throw in a liberal dose of nuance, style and flair and you have the perfect ROM.
I never thought i'd be saying this but it really is an order of magnitude better than Cyanogenmod. The infamous Android lag is all but gone! The N1 touchscreen wonks..gone! It's like i died and woke up in smartphone heaven. Most of the apps i used to use i don't need any more. Decent File Browser? Check. Decent Browser? Check. Decent SMS/Dialer/Alarm? Check!
What i don't need in a ROM are a hundred features that i have to turn off because i don't use them. What i do need in a ROM are core features that just work well. Consider me converted!
I seriously wouldn't trade my two year old phone for anything on the market right now, not even if it were free. Not a chance!

Wich phone you own?

Agree, and this is why MIUI has to port it to the Galaxy Note. I used MIUI on my Desire HD, and this is the one thing i miss the most. TouchPizz is a bloated resource hog that must die.

TouchPiss. YU NO LIKE???

It's too "heavy". I like them light, fast and stable.

Android is my passion, I should get help lol

It depend on which touchwiz. Touchwiz 4 is actually optimized for the phone it is on. That's why it never lags. But touchwiz 3 is a complete different story.

Yeah you're right, but i just don't like it in the same way i don't like Sense. It's just too much

I'm hooked on IceCremeSandwich's with no-sense!

pure curiosity
first, i have the android phone, then switch to iOS then at now, android again feeling to be more comfy with android (though iOS still rocks on perf and display)
but guess, loving now android coz to put my dev-inside

MIUI.us is working out so well for me. I have apps that never worked well on CM7 that are working perfectly now. The famous N1 touchscreen wonk has disappeared completely, (which is a miracle in itself), and not only are the stock apps better than AOSP, (Gallery, you know i'm talking about you), but they're better than the usual replacements. (Sorry, Quickpic).
A big plus is a beautiful U.I that is consistent throughout the software and on par with IOS. It's like somebody read my mind and made a bespoke ROM for me! It's all the little touches too. The nice animations, the way the music fades out when you pause it, (not to mention Lyrics support and a pretty visualisation), options for re-ordering Bookmarks in the Browser, a good Notes app, in built backup for apps, system and theme. It's incredibly fast and smooth too. Without the OC i had in CM7 it actually performs better!
Pics for the uninitiated:
How about a stock Data usage app, or a Firewall:
How good is that?

I love my android phone...
Still my first (galaxy mini), but i hope my next one will be better...

How fast is this phone??

Hi, I really fancy getting this phone due to its form factor, but all the reviews seem to disagree about its performance. Antutu scores (around 13500) suggest it should be much faster than snapdragon devices but some reviews say it's average....Confused!
Anyone give me some real life impressions of how fast it is? (my other options are the big boys, htc one x etc... Not sure about size)
Also do you think Cm 10.1 will arrive eventually after x86 issues are solved?
Thanks for any replies
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

Not sure about CM 10.1 but dang, this phone is fast! Been using it for months now and it litteraly flies. And that is without the upgrade to JB even.
Testers from this forum found it as fast the Samsung Galaxy S3 so don't worry about the speed.

I agree. I'm not rooted and have ICS and I find this phone faster than any other I've had (recently Desire and Desire S)
Yes, using stock launcher can be a bit laggy sometimes but I use Holo Launcher and it's totally lag free!

I own a razr i and its the fastest phone ever seen....

Hello ALL did you discover lags, slowdown between screens after update ? JB on my mobile (xt890) working so slow. I don't know what is the problem. I didn't do factory reset after update. What you thinking, that could be a problem? I started using difference launcher (NOVA) and seem my problem gone in 80% because I really like Motorola's launcher with amazing circles widget.

Lucky you having JB!
The first thing I'll do after updating to JB is to factory reset the phone as I'm sure that this resets everything and should stop any problems left over from the previous operating system.
Sent from my Motorola Razr I using Tapatalk 2

My RAZR i is running stock JB and I get a split second of lag when going back to the home screen from an app. I think that the launcher doesn't keep in memory like the ones you get from play store. So it has to reopen the launcher when you go home. Not a big deal. As far as speed, I get over 4100 in quadrant. Beats out the Asus transformer and matches the one x (according to quadrant) so yeah. Fast fast. Love this phone.

Benchmarks are just theoretical and its all about how fast the phone appears to the user.
Perception is reality after all!
And on that scale the RAZR I is up there with the best. I cant make out any difference to any of the Android flagships that I have tried over the last few months.

Thank you for the great replies, it sounds like it performs way above its mid range billing. I get the feeling that a lot of the online reviews try to compare it with the likes of the gs3, when it's real competition like the HTC one s seems at least a little slower, has no memory expansion and it's way more expensive at the minute.
There are some great deals on it at the moment, so I'll go for it. Just have to hope it ships on jelly bean. I'm sure I'll be around the forum a bit once I get it, everyone seems really helpful. Thanks

Yeah I've seen a lot of great deals on the RAZR i recently. I only paid 320€ for mine.

[Q] CM10 Nightly for Vivid: Adobe Flash Issues!

I recently flashed CM10, and it seems to be working perfectly fine. Keyboards, home and search buttons, Gapps all good. However, when installing the most recent Adobe Flash APK, the problems are glaring. While it does work, the video is severely choppy, Flash Adverts get blended into other Flash running panels, creating a stripped pattern everywhere. It's just a total mess. I've tried running it on Firefox with similar results, and Chrome rejects it entirely.

Ah. Makes Sense (pun intended.) Well, hope someone fixes this issue, and an official CM ROM comes out instead of a nightly.

It is official. And likely the best you're gonna get

Yeah, I did realize that, but I figured that someone would've discovered the issue and found a way since I expected that the issue lied in the ROM and not the CM itself, but I guess not. I'm just going to stick with a stock ROM then, until someone makes an ICS ver. of CM. for Vivid.

MIUI for our beloved N4: finally?

Hey MIUI fanatics out there!
Last night, I stumbled on this post on G+:
https://plus.google.com/103335486449456213484/posts/DHeDAbUeVsQ
The guy clearly runs a full blown android 4.2.2 MIUI rom on his GNex, which is pretty exciting, cuz a port to our device shouldn't be that difficult at this point. Or is it...?
Well, thought I had to share this. Let's keep our fingers crossed...

MIUI on any device is like running a port of a port on a port of a port that was ported from a port that only works right 68% of the time. No thanks.

(Sarcasm caution)
What is miui..?
I've seen it mentioned since the nexus s days, never run it on a phone.

Not my thing..

Lol okay obviously I'm the only one who's excited

People here usualy poo-poo MIUI, although they will claim anywhere else that Android=choice... Don't worry too much about this logic issue

OP, if you look at the MIUI forums, they have launched beta builds for Gnex and believe me there are a lot of bugs now. Once, it passes onto stable, someone or I might port it for mako.

Miui is always lagging way far behind Google on Android versions. And the version that they are on is usually very bug ridden. I like it but I hate dealing with major bugs, little bugs don't bother me to much.

Well, I ve tried V5 on the i9000, and it s simply so slow it cannot be used.
I also tried on the i9300, and it is quite nice over there, so there's hope.
But I agree, it is not as fast as a nice aosp/cm 10.1/AOKP ^^.
I like how different it looks, and weither I ll use it for a long time or not, well, let's see!
I d give a spin to iOS if it were ported, just for the sake of running it on the N4, ahha

You should look into the reason they are poo-pooed....they are a china development house and do alot of shady things. But you seem to have the logic part down so you'll not need to Google or anything.

I cannot wait to try MIUI on my Nexus 4. I been waiting for it since I bought my phone.

Nexus 6 + Custom ROM + AA = Display issues???

So I have an annoyance that I wanted to see if anyone else was experiencing. I recently got a Pioneer AVIC-8100NEX head unit that has android auto built in. When I am using a stock based ROM, the android auto works fine. When I am running a CM/AOSP based ROM, the picture is like zoomed in and is totally unusable. I can even run a stock based ROM with custom kernel and it runs just fine. I am currently running meanpop with code blue kernel and it works fine, I just miss a lot of the features of the other Roms that I can't get it to work right on.
EDIT: I Have narrowed it down to any rom that has naitive DPI changing functionality built in will cause this issue.... I am fairly certain that is the issue....
Roms that work:
Stock
MeanPop
Sinless
CleanROM
OptiPop
They look like this on the head unit (how they should):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Roms that do not work:
CM12.1
Chroma
Euphoria
Resurrection Remix
Benzo
BlissPop
Temesek 5.1
They look like this on the head unit (YOU HAVE TO BYPASS THE DISCLAIMER VIA ANDROID AUTO DEVELOPER SETTINGS TO GET HERE):
Anyone experiencing this as well or know what the heck the issue could be??? I kinda think it might be an easy fix for someone that knows that they are doing (not me!).
Thanks in advance!

Pure Rom doesn't seem to work either. I was hoping Blisspop worked. Any news to why some roms are not supported? Really sad to see that Android Auto is not all it was hyped to be. Only supports certain phone's and few custom Rom's.

I have figured out that any rom that has native DPI changing do not work. The only AOSP rom that I can find that currently works is OptiPop which is what I am currently running (it does not have built in DPI changing). I can still change the phones DPI in terminal and it displays on my stereo just fine....

gah, I've been having this issue, but with no solution. I have an LG G3, which of course doesn't work with AA. So I installed CM12.1 after reading somewhere that it would work. Of course, as you know it doesn't.
Now I've been trying to find a ROM that will work with the G3 and AA, but can't find any definitive answers.

I'm using lg g3. Using official cm12

you'd think, but all the nightlies older than a few days just 404.

So is the issue you are seeing where you can get into Android Auto but can't click on items on the screen or like I am having when I connect my N6 I get a red screen on my phone saying this device is not supported.
If its a DPI issue can't you change the DPI as a work around?

Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app

it doesn't matter what DPI you change it to, the result is the same.

Thanks for the info. More and more disappointed with Google. They promote different but the same and reduce fragmentation but nothing has really changed. Seems like "the next version of Android" is always going to be the holy grail but it's more of the same.

Actually a DPI of 120 works on my phone, but that makes the phone unusable

I have the same issue. CM12.1 Can't use AA. Going back to stock.

Had the same issue on my OnePlus One with BlissPop. Had to load the OnePlus's OxygenOS to get it working. Guess I will roll with that until a better fix comes out.

What about a tasker command to change the dpi upon launching the AA app?
I am not much of a tasker guy, so I wouldn't know where to begin...

CM 12.1 not working with AA
Any word from anyone if this is being worked on?
Never mind. I just installed the latest CM nightly 5-31 and it works fantastic.

FYI - It seems they have reverted the change in a recent CM12.1 patch and the screen now shows correct.

After dealing with Bluetooth issues on kitkat I said I would never use CM. Looks like I'm going back. I'll post next week if it works.
