Hardware (ram,cpu,storage,sensors, etc) ----- Kernel (The ever so important Bridge, Drivers) ----- Software (ROM)

This is very interesting topic that I want to try my hand at explaining to newbies but I'll try stick to computer box terms as I feel the smartphone is quite similar in that regards.

Smartphone = an entire computer like a notebook
Kernel = the bios & hardware drivers
ROM = the HDD containing a windows OS and a set of hardware drivers
Recovery = a HDD partition & image manager
Root = having the bios password & windows administrator password

I'm using this qi charger pad and still fit thin casing and flip casing.
Still gets charged even with flip casing.

How to customize notification panel? Can't find the settings.

settings> display> notification panel

6.0.1.5 in benny888's guide i figure was using this version, which is to me at least the most stable one of them all.

anyways, thanks to fruitie's misfortunes with monx and jump-ship to ROMOW, which i religiously follow, i'm now a convert!

paired with P30.1 seems like a good idea although R1.01 is out, it seems that perseus has more changelog (which i'm a sucker for, the longer seems to mean the more stuff is in there, and i love more stuff)

on nova launcher now with stock JB icons and such.. woohoo! happy camper!

If u don mind . Can you put a pic of ur zenus ?

kernel as bridge.. that's a good analogy. i believe someone posted the user -> rom -> kernel -> hardware in a nice box showing that we interact with the rom, rom speaks to the kernel, kernel mobilizes the hardware, right?

haha..u beat me 1st to list down as pc terms.
anyway is the best analogy for newbie & those just migrate from crapple user

although in my understanding:

Kernel = pc drivers
cwm = bios to re-install/ recover os installation.

correct me if i miss-info

Does your adapter have the hissing sound issue all this while ?

Guys, any of you who're using Celcom, is there such thing as multi-sim?
I know maxis got it but does Celcom also have this?

It was announce on 2008 but I failed to get anymore info on it.


I'm on Celcom Power 148 with unlimited data so would be nice to have multi-sim on my tab as well

No. I don't think my second adapter is spoilt.

Hi Guys, the red dim light near earpiece, how to disable it? After restarted the phone, it will gone but after sometime, it shows up again. Anyone notice it?

lol..

my understanding:

Phone = car
Firmware/rom = engine
Kernel = "Auto Transmission/Gear Box"
Root = "install turbo charge or modify exhaust pipe at the engine and any other non ori parts..."

and:

custom rom = change/modify non ori engine..
custom kernel = change/modify your A/T.
custom theme = repaint your car and add air spoiler/skirting...

switch off smartstay

Disable all motion.

Simple explanation here about rom and kernel

I have never switch ON smartstay from day 1.. Did ur phone have the dim red light too?

I tried to disable it, but the dim red light still didn't turn off.

Try go to Setting > Display > LED Indicator

its not the LED but rather the prox sensor / eye-open-close-sleeping-awake sensor
