I know that I've been extremely busy with school and all, but I'm just posting to give a heads up that this weekend I am working on the DX2. You can find me at the IRC at the freenode channel #cm7dx2. Can't wait to see you guys there!
P.S. that 2nd core thread over in the dev forums is a bunch of crap. don't use it. our 2nd core turns on automatically when needed. it's a power save feature in EVERY Tegra 2 device. So if you want to drain your battery, go on ahead.
Yeah dzk u Da man. Really, I'm glad u got some time for us... happy happy happy..

Hey there Dragon, thanks for popping in and saying something so we don't have to answer the "what the heck is going on with cm9" question all day long.
Calling that second core thread "crap" is kind of mean. I'm sure Trafalgar worked hard on that. We were aware of the risks but traded a bit of life for performance.
But again thanks for the update.

His point is that there is no performance gain. The script just forces the second core to run at full capacity 100% of the time, instead of on-demand, which doesn't make a difference when you consider that on-demand just means it will activate the second core if the first core can't complete the task on its own.
Honestly I think the only difference that script will make is serious battery drain.
That said, I do appreciate the work trafalgar put into it. Always nice to see that there is still some hope for this phone's development

Dragon,
I feel ya on the schoolwork. I'm in the library, as I type, because my goal is walking across that stage in a month. Regards to your poll, I was thinking of voting for the first one, but my DX2 is running well with the current CM7. So I voted #2, so we can hopefully experience what we've been all missing out on. I cherish however long you stay with the DX2 because it's a long time until mid-2013....
Thanks for everything
I have a custom rom installed. I wanted to know if there was a way to get rid of the triangle at boot (besides using the triangle away app.).
also, is there a way to change the screen that pops up with samsung i1900?

Reading about it, seems like it's happening more to the international version. I wonder if it's the quad core more than the dual core phones. Unless I read it wrong.
LOL that was funny as hell!
Anyway, what other instance did this happen? Also, seeing as how its a repeat performance, does anyone know if their shares have dropped at all due to this?
I haven't seen anything about their shares, but I doubt it. Unless it happens to all of them. Right now it seems to be somewhat rare. Maybe a bad batch of phones shipped out. We'll have to wait and see.
Been in this section for a few months now, there is some great devs here along with great roms. But is there ever really enough rom choices out there?? No there's not!
So I'm curious to see what kind of intrest there would be for a rom like this on the Verizon note 2. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42316916

That was kinda my point with it... Not really seeing much other than what is already out there...
What it give you? What's it gonna get with it?
A simple "not interested" would've sufficed. And its only looking like that because of a theme, which can be done with pretty much any other touchwhiz ROM as well. And in my opinion that looks pretty nasty. I like the look of "goodness" ROM and not over the top.
And the thing about all these different roms is to make them look different otherwise they're all built off of stock.

10-12 Note 2 ROMs are not enough? There are web sites that list them all.
Ridin' a Note 2 blast
I would try the rom. Looks interesting. Only thing in the change log that I didn't see mentioned, is if you can change the carrier text to whatever you wanted. Also if group messaging will work for Verizon without being individual messages. PITA when you cant respond in the same group conversation. I don't think there are enough quality roms for our Verizon N2. There is numerous roms for sprint and att.
Agree with you and your very thought out post. Plus hmmmm 72 internets?

This device is meant to be carried around, it's obviously meant to replace you're current phone as it is a phone, it's not a cheap device, costing as much (or more than at launch) as other high end phones and even cheaper ones don't skimp here. Where's the ****ing flash??
All of you who are about to give me **** about how great the sensor is, shut the hell up, you need a flash indoors. pictures look like **** if it's not well lit, and many, many, many people use it as flashlights and now it's a major inconvenience. Why did they do this??? How much did they save by not putting on a flash?? I don't love the battery life but I get it, they were keeping it as thin and light as possible for such a large phone, I would have preferred a little thicker with a decent battery but it's fine. could they really not fit a tiny little led light in there???
I'm sorry for being like this but i just saw an xperia z and z1 and it just pissed me off. Yes, I knew what I was getting when i got the phone, and it is a great phone but every time i take a picture indoors or need a flashlight the thought "**** you Sony" pops into my head.

Broke in less than a mouth? Holy cow, how are your teeth? :laugh:
i'm looking into buying this device and truly i have been absolutely baffled at how a company on a phone with better specs than everyone else included a screen protector on every phone and didn't even build in camera flash?
the screen protector bothers me more than anything that if i buy it i'm going to drive myself insane trying to take it off and cleaning it perfectly?! thats ****ing ridiculous.

I wish it had a flash and I wish in general that the camera was better. But like others have said I knew what I was buying so I don't regret the decision.
Camera sucks. Worse camera I have seen in my life. It is so bad I don't even know why Sony added the camera to begin with. However every review and every article I read said the camera is utter Crap so I knew what I was buying. If camera was key for me I would avoid this phone like the plague but having a bigger screen is more critical for me

LOL, I don't hate. It is a little weird. My logic is that they did it on purpose to weed out all the non die hards. Lol.

Sony is quite good at shooting itself in the foot.
Take the Z1, for example. One of the biggest sensors in a smartphone camera and they release it with unpolished camera software. Pics are nowhere as good as they're supposed to be! :-\ (And yes, I speak from experience)

I wish it had a flash and I wish in general that the camera was better. But like others have said I knew what I was buying so I don't regret the decision.

Yeah you don't have to say 'F**k Sony' if you have known about the device you've bought. It was your decision anyway to go here, so accept it as it is. If you receive it unexpectedly (like screen cracking with no reason) then please do an open letter. But in this case No point for complaining right now.
We all know that the camera sucks, but it's not that bad, it's decent for casual usage. No flash bugs me also but not that important, i can lit up the screen with Chrome white page and use it at night to lighten up the room.
you didn't know what you were buying? isn't that your fault?

No, it's like complaining that i bought a ferrari without an audio system. It's not absolutely integral and I knew what I was getting, Doesn't stop me from being pissed of at them for leaving out something very important for no reason.

but you should have thought if that 'audio system missing in Ferrari' is your top priority. if it was, you wouldnt have bought the ferrari in the first place... sorry, it all boils down to this... you should have known what you were getting into....

The flash nor the battery life doesn't bother me. What bothers me is it broke in less than a month.

it is your mistake, as what you are complaining is about a hardware compaonent, which has no solution.. if it was software, there would have been a solution

A/ I'm not sure Sony peruse these forums for open letters to them :silly:
B/ Only the "buyer" is at fault for their purchase decisions :silly:
C/ It's good to vent your frustrations sometimes, even if you've caused them yourself :thumbup:

LOL... yeah pretty much right.
The Ultra doesn't need a flash. seriously! Every image i have taken with a phone (even the Z1 and Nokia 41MP device) hasn't performed well at night using a flash. They just don't work well. I've never kept an image that ive taken using a flash. Even on my DSLR's..
So I'm fine without a flash.
Yes the 8MP camera should have been better, but it isnt. So hey.. all we can do is buy the QX10 and make a case that works...
Will the next alliteration of the Ultra have a better camera... god I hope so...

Having said that I find the video recording quality pretty good outdoors in natural light.

agree with that, I was expecting awesomeness... but it was about the same visual difference as my old S4. dissapointing.

yep agree. video recording looks fine. infact I like the colour reproduction. sound could be better, however for a waterproof unit, thats not going to happen... so I'm fine with that.
