when i look at this kind of system panel app app, i almost think of unbelievable...it is like reading the supercomputer monitor for some sesmic, volcanic, geology behavior reading  doh.gif ....

i dono la mybe it's just me, i dun understand the need for stuff like that, y the extreme detail simply over simple battery usage...detail is good but not obsessive detail ...kinda make it counter productive and turn the user become detail obsessive-- unnecessary man, we've got handsful of our daily commitment, not another apps like that to make life miserable. well im just saying my opinion.

there's a chinese saying (warning of direct translation inaccuracy)-- simple thing make into complex thing is eat full already got nothing to do, complex things make to simple is skill.

I do not really want to flash a ROM just yet. Is there any program widget that any of you can recommend to show the battery percentage insteado f having to go to settings>about>status

Thanks

Battery solo widget. Simple, lite (not battery hog), can check temperatures with one click and can put at homescreen :-)

sorry guys, any useful virus scan apps recommended? i used to bitdefender but it use up 54% of my batt life, i don't know why? so i'm uninstalled and try to find another good defender smile.gif

QUOTE(keyzjh @ Sep 5 2011, 11:50 PM)
Lookout is a good choice. The new update does not drain battery at all. And you get extra features getting the premium one.

Thx guys, will give it a try later. I reinstalled bitdsfender this morning, and still cause the same. I unplug at 6am, now 89% batt life only half an hours gone 11% sad.gif drain too fast. And causs my device warm all t way:(

I do not see the need of antivirus as long your apps are from android market. Such app drain resources and is not proven effective
It just give user a good feeling of security which is false

Users of such apps need to be intelligent enough. They assure themselves using av apps will keep them safe. Everyone knows many such apps are trojan carriers so such users will standby their decision that av apps is a necessity
But again it is not proven av apps work on android

Those who use these apps are just at higher risk because the original apk have been tempered with.

true. it all boils down to the user... if smart, then chances of getting hit will be extremely low. these days, worms, viruses, malware attack by users allowing them in (installing apps, going to some dodgy sites, etc)...

the same applies for desktops and notebooks. honestly, i can say that even without an AV, i'm quite sure i won't get infected. but of course i have AV on my notebook -- just to scan the USB my friends bring over.

same thing with phones... if you're not getting from any external sources (friends, 3rd party sites, etc), then its quite safe.

from market, i recall there were 1-2 software that was eventually found to be dangerous. i recall in those cases, Google used the kill switch to remotely disable and delete the apps.

Common unstable issues said to be due to ahem apps
- sudden random reboots
- auto shutdown
- especially on browser sudden swing to homescreen
- freeze in midst of application especially browsing

Many new users who bought their sets from 3rd party are often given bonuses in form of free apps n link to blackmarket apps. So such users are darn happy in view of all these freebies. Than you hear them later whining about phone instability blaming everyone except themselves. My close neighbour is an excellent example. I call him Jack S. Being Chinese educated he was puzzled why I address him as such especially the word S after Jack. Now he understand

hi something to clarify,

i have bought a few paid apps like widget locker, missed it, titanium donate version.

and in case if i did not backup, will i need to pay again for the apps that ive purchased before.

in app store it will automatically detect that you bought the apps before, what about android market?

another question.

i understand that to flash rom (say cognition rom) is to dload the zip file, placed it into internal memory and install it via cwm recovery.

does this method applicable to someone who are moving from one rom to another rom or from stock rom only?

what about flashing via odin, i flashed my LRV5 via odin, why not this cognition rom via odin too?

Moving from one ROM to another ROM require wipe data is recommended..

Most of the ROM I saw also using CWM Recovery to flash to avoid yellow triangle(I think)..
Whether its Odin flashable or not its all depends on the ROM developer.. nod.gif

I am on touch x-treme rom now. Basically in terms of battery life and performance it differs on user so its difficult to recommend one rom. otherwise there would not be so many roms on xda. The best is to try out a few roms and pick the one that suite you best.

anyone here use exynos extreme? that rom looks nice.

edit: one more question, deodexed roms have laggy browser?
