no camera hang already..

rotation is good.

the only thing is that, media server is running too long ...

example ..when u delete a file using stock file manager, the media scanner is running in the background; unlike in GB, u will see the status in notification bar.

so, after u delete a file, u cant take a picture using stock camera app, because the media scanner is running. and its too long ,

temp solution, disable media scanner
*
media scanning is normal, it runs in the background, but just the first time will be long only.
after that will be fast. non g also like that.


Added on June 5, 2012, 10:12 ami've read through apex and nova paid version.
they seem to be a mirror app offering same features.


is there something that in apex has but nova dont have or vice versa?

app description cant tell much about real usage.
would appreciate if someone that tried both share their experience.

i answer my own question.

nova vs apex.

in terms of smoothness, actually both seems same

but nova got more settings and customization.
it let you choose the notification number.
app drawer can let you create folders
can add more tabs in drawer.
also the gesture, got 2 more gesture which is rotate clockwise and anti clowise.

basically, nova prime, more features then apex.
apex lost.

there is nothing that apex has that nova dont.

What is the latest way of taking screenshots in ICS G Version?
Volume Down + Power doesn't work for me.

Btw, upgraded to ICS on G .. runs perfectly fine without any issues mentioned so far.
*
been asked so many times, press and hold, wait 1 second like that, not instant.
duno about G, but for non g, power+home, and power+volume down, both also work.

jkay mod got a bug one.
so annoying,

out of the blue, the clock will stop moving,
not the whole system clock, just the status bar clock.
it will just freeze at certain time and wont move.

time in other apps are fine though.
example the clock hang at 2.15pm in status bar,
but the real time is 3pm now, if receive sms, sms time stamp will state 3pm. lock screen clock also 3pm. every clock works fine,
just the status bar clock freeze.

need to go settings>time, set the time again only the status bar clock become normal. so far been using for 3 days, happen twice yesterday.

I can't seem to find any themes for Nova and Apex. What gives?
*
i use GO launcher when i was in GB,
i download alot of themes. i only uninstall go launcher but forgot uninstall those go themes.

when i arrive in ICS installed nova and apex.
suprisingly i saw some of my GO launcher themes appear in apex theme.


nova support themes also?
dint see it in nova options.

Any good custom ROM that has TouchWiz launcher? Something like CheckROM.
I've been waiting for CheckROM so long liao, I'm afraid he's gonna focus on S3  sad.gif
*
i know how you feel, i waiting for checkrom ics also for very long time.
tried aokp and some ics rom but dont like it because dont have jkaymod.
i use alot of jkay mod features.

finally jkay for ics is out.
flash NEAT rom LPG based one. its stock ICS rom that is deodex. no tweaks or anything.
then install jkay into it.
this is optional, if you wan it to look like nexus or cm9 style, install vertumus theme.

now it's like checkrom ICS already.
actually checkrom is special since it has jkaymod and notification swipe.
NEAT+JKAY covers all the features present in checkrom v6 already.

oh ya, about touchwiz, once you try NOVA/apex launcher,
you wont want to stick with touch widz anymore. :-)

Hi all fellow androidians, I've just started using USB OTG cable.
Using my pendrive to watch movies and all.
Should I be worried with the viruses and install antivirus to my phone?

Any recommended antivirus?
*
actually, your android phone IS the anti virus.

i never use pendrive to store data, i only use it to transfer data.
so almost all the time, its empty, containing only the file i want to transfer.

lets say its empty now, i put in a PC that has virus, copy a doc file that i want into the pendrive.
then remove from pc and plug to my phone.

the pendrive suppose to ONLY have the doc file, but since the PC is infected, it will usually contain some 'extra' unwanted stuff like, autorun.exe, xxx.vb, xxx.vmx, xxx.ini or some hidden folder and some gibberish name file. those are all the virus file, just mark all and delete them in your phone file manager

then plug the pendrive to your own PC to copy the doc file. no need worry virus.
it has all been deleted by your android phone. :-p

*true story

from my experience and I think previous CM phone builds, AOSP will not be as efficient as custom manufacturer ROMs.. in this instance, custom Sammy ROM..  blush.gif

I think its largely due to the vibration during unlocking phone. The default ics lock screen is not battery friendly at all.

which annoying user? why the hell ask u buy battery pulak?

jailbreak? too complicated for them la, most users there only know how to use the iphone, things like jailbreak is too complicated for them

another misconception about android is: root = jailbreak  doh.gif
actually iphone + jailbreak = half an android
android + root = full access and freedom

some ppl from apple tot root to allow them to install cracked apps, when i say no need wan, and they ask i root for what, i tell them its too complicated for me to explain to you guys  sweat.gif

i dont like apple stuff, but gf give me ipad2 ask me update to iOS5.1.1 and jailbreak for her.
no choice lo. have to google about apple stuff.
i think i kindda soft brick the ipad2, it wont turn on now.
download the .ipsw from the apple jailbreak thread in lowyat, but use it to upgrade in itunes, it cant turn on d.
really sien.... anyway, just ranting a bit. moody here. sorry for off topic.

hi everyone,

saw the font in foxhound rom looks very nice.
then i realize since upgrade to ics, never really play or change fonts.

did a google search, seems its still not widely develop yet.
methods to change fonts in GB not working in ICS.

is there a way?
