Sorry for the rather ominious title. But its hard to actually picking a proper title for some subject :/
I have had a SGS2 for a couple months now and I have had a few issues with it that I hope some of you might be able to help with.
1:
I stood at an army training ground and was recording FullHD video with the phone but when it dropped to 15% battery it refused to record anymore or take pictures. Is there some way to "mess with" or hack it to simply keep recording till the battery is dead?
2:
I had a circular battery mod for my phone which worked fine of the original rom which was KE7 for a Nordic phone. But now trying to flash the same battery mod with CWM bootloops my phone . I have tried to see if I can find any battery mods like it, but the only ones I have been able to find so far has been the kind that uses the regular battery icon and just adds the percentage.
I would actually like the circular one as I prefer that one, but is there even one that would work on the KH3 Rom?
3:
I see people mentioned Deodexed and odexed as terms, but what does that mean and what is the actual difference between the 2 of them?
I hope someone might be able and willing to help with either all of the 3 questions or just some of them. And thanks in advance for your time.

I see you use CMW recovery so you must be rooted
this rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1198334
Along with the Villain tweak app provides everything your after easily.
There are also lots of themes in the thme section for your tweeking needs
This is a KG6 rom but there isnt much difference imho.
Deodexing basically means files/things are easier to mess around with.
Problem is I like the stock feel of the Rom, hence why I have never really bothered flashing something like MRC, Cynoagen, Villian etc.
I prefer to just keep things normally and then "tweak" the few things I am not entirely happy with. So I was primarily looking for fixes/hacks that could be applied on an existing rom rather then a full new rom entirely.
But thanks for the suggestion regardless

A man after my own heart! thats good because Villain is completely stock Samsung just pretty much Deodexed, no themes no bulls**t.
The only tweaks/themes that are applied will be by you
Also If you like Cyanogen you could always check the version for the sgs2 its pretty complete now only a few things left to sort out (bluetooth being the major one).
Well I just flashed the KH3 rom just the other day and I would like to actually give that one a tryout before deciding to try another rom .
But the only thing that really bugs me is why the phone so stubbornly decides to stop wanting to use the camera at 15%. I mean there must be a hacked camera.apk out there that works for me ratehr then having to flash a completely different rom to get what I "want".

Has anyone been using a ROM for HTC EVO 3d they love?. I'm looking for a ROM that is fast (snappy), saves battery, everything works great, and tips the charts on linpack and benchmarks that comes with an outstanding kernel that is 100% working with the ROM. If you think your using this or may have found one please let me know. Thanks.

Try LeeDroid 3. There is no custom kernel yet.
I swear by CleanROM DE. Easily adjustable OC, everything works, good battery, and the dev is really helpful and friendly.

Try EvoZoneRed_2.3.4...
I've been using it for a while, its Good!
Best ROM has to be viper ROM. It's super fast and its actually beening upgraded to the 2.34 version and its getting tested. That's for sure the best ROM out there.
Go with deck's, stable,reliable,and battery life is amazing. Unfortunately, he seems to have disappeared for a while now...
Deff warm twopointthree. Still in beta, but it's by far the best looking rom. stable. Lots of features and. Cm7-like customization. Good battery too.

Best ROM I have used is still ViperROM
I tried out a bunch of roms today, coming from stock rooted and then steel 2.2 which I ran till this weekend. I'm looking for a stable daily driver, but since I was flashing anyways I decided to try out some of the new features out there. Keep in mind I used each rom probably for less than 30 min, so I am really just giving a first impression on what I liked. Also, I didn't take battery into account, which has been great for me stock, rooted, or otherwise.
JoelZ9614 - Runnymede sense 3.5 port v1
Sense 3.5 is great. It runs noticeably smoother than stock sense 3.0, and most custom roms running sense 3.0. By smoother I mean when you swipe screens and the carousel. The beats splash is the coolest splash I've seen, and the beats audio feature has a noticeable difference in how the device sounds, even if it is just eq'ing it fits my style of music to make it sound better. My first install froze up a bunch, requiring battery pulls, that was after wiping everything once. Second time I flashed this rom I wiped multiple times, may have even ran a superwipe type zip. Second time didn't have the lock ups, everything seemed to be in order. Updated widgets and menus make sense 3.5 desirable - even if it isn't much of an upgrade to 3.0. I didn't notice if this rom had the new 3.5 homescreen widgets, it was outfitted with the updated sense clock but that was it. Still very nice, and was my favorite rom of the bunch. It needs camera/3d/4g to be a viable option for me, which I hope is fixed soon with all the people working on sense 3.5.
Virus - Infected Rom Eternity RLS 1.2.2
I was very impressed by this rom as well, I've used Virus's roms on my 4g and like his work a lot. The smoothness through screen on this rom was very comparable to the sense 3.5 rom, more smooth than overclocked roms I tried. Beats audio works well on this rom also. The extra tweaks/options included in this rom make it really great - it's something that us rom flashers really need to appreciate, easy customization is great for me as someone who doesn't want to keep messing with stuff and than seeing how it looks and then having to flash/edit more files to check it out again. This rom is fast and smooth, and has a lot of transition effects that are different than other roms. I wasn't too fond of the way dialogue boxes popped in kinda sideways, but everything else was awesome, particularly the animation when pressing the back button and exiting screens. The animations do make everything feel smoother and more polished, and there's a lot of features added to this rom that work. This rom had less free ram than some other options out there, but similar to stock/stock based roms. I don't think this is a bad thing, as everything ran quickly and smoothly, but may account for lower benchmarks than others if that's your thing. Theme on this rom is friggin schweet. The newest 1.2.2 version looks like a winner.
MIUI.us/Scott951 - MIUI 1.9.23
I'm someone who never used MIUI as my own daily driver, but I've installed it for others. The main reason is 4g, I wanted to have it. I still took a look to see how it was. The Evo3D package is quite nice, there are some nice widgets packed along with it that I don't believe are part of MIUI, like a sense type clock that has easy to configure touch options for the various parts. The rom installed very quickly as it was a small file, and ran beautifully for the time I tried it. The many options and individual theming options seemed quite appealing, and I can see why so many MIUI installs end up so beautifully presented by some flashers out here. I remember not liking the contacts app - it was either slow or something else bothered me. The messaging app stood out to me as interesting tho. I may have been getting it confused with the next rom, as I spent very little time with MIUI.
Vaelek - Vaelpak 3D RC2
Vaelek is another devloper I have experience with from my Evo4g. His rom was the first one I used to have customization options after install, and also the first rom I used that had a non-sense launcher on it. Vaelpak 3D RC2 was my first experience using Go Launcher EX. I've used both Launcher Pro and ADW EX, and found Go Launcher EX to really outshine the two tried and trusted launchers with all the extras they've been adding. Go launcher hasn't exactly been a secret for some time now, but I was still impressed by all it has to offer these days with all the Go apps, widgets and themes it really gives every other launcher from sense to MIUI a run for its money. Go launcher stock looks great, and the themes I looked at looked terrific as well. I also love the screen transition options, they made me chuckle a bit. Vaelpak manages to keep a lot of stock sense underlay/apps, and still has a lot of free memory to spare. Rom ran great and might be calling my name later if I get curious about Go Launcher, but I didn't give it a full try as I wasn't sure I wanted to take time to learn/configure it to be my daily driver.
toastcfh - CyanogenMod 7 VALPHA3
I knew I wasn't going to daily this but just wanted to test it out. Thought it was going to be super smooth, which it is, but the nexus LWP used didn't seem to be running the best or wasn't the best version of it, cuz it looked a tad laggy to me. Having used CM7 before, it's a rom whose reputation speaks for itself with options/speed, and I'm sure this version is no different.
scrosler - Clean Rom Developers Edition
My first taste of Evo3D overclock. Found the screen transitions to be less smooth than Sense 3.5/Infected, but was better than stock though. There was a lot of free memory to work with on this rom. I tried using the rom updater to change some of the theme, but after flashing some of the zips in recovery I didn't notice any change, perhaps I did something wrong. I find themes/icon sets in other roms to look better, although this rom had a very "proper" look to it, and stood out as sort of an "HD" version of a stockish rom. I think I would stick a theme on this and call it a day. The overclock made for some good benchmarks, I didn't take the time to install games and test out differences there. This does seem to be a choice overclocking rom though, keeping sense but making it far less of a hog. . Ran solid for me, no bugs in short term testing.
SteelH - SteelRom v2.62
Coming from Steel v2.2, I hadn't updated previously because I didn't have any problems and everything was just great - I was running the Honeycomb theme by mayfield with zeus mods and didn't really cave in to the new rom features till I saw sense 3.5 on my friend's tbolt and saw how smooth it was compared to my phone. I hoped I would find another stable release from Steel, which has so far been the case. The rom has a few aesthetic tweaks over stock which I like, and runs well. I kind of want my zeus mods back, which I may try to get thru the honeycomb theme if it lets me. The notification icons are a little like Clean Rom in that they are stockish, but I prefer the honeycomb/stock gingerbread type ones over both. Everything about this rom feels solid, and the black sense clock I've preferred since my evo4g is included here and looks great. I actually have been trying to get a black sense clock with no background - might even try Shogun just for that reason. Beats audio in this rom really isn't what it is in sense 3.5/infected roms, it feels like less of an improvement and more like the stock eq settings. I feel at home running SteelH's roms, as he fits the niche that I look for - stability and the more important new features you would want in a custom rom.
Things I noticed testing all these:
Roms with Beats Audio/DSP Manager - I had been using DSP Manager to up my handset speaker volume by doing custom EQ and all the levels. The roms with Beats Audio from the XE port sounded about the same without using the DSP Manager EQ, and when I turned the EQ on it actually LOWERED the handset speaker volume, even with the EQ levels turned up. On roms with the beats audio that wasn't the ported version like on SteelH's rom, using the DSP Manager EQ makes the speaker volume louder and better IMO.
Transparent Notifications/app drawer - I strongly prefer transparent notifications, and found it implemented a little differently in various roms/themes. There's some more opaque, some more transparent, different color fonts. I didn't have too many issues reading them, I just liked it more when it looked consistent, like with the rest of the drop down and the quick settings.
Customizable quick settings - This should be a must for every rom! If you can put them in a different order someone tell me cause that would be perfect.
Remapping the personalization button - why doesn't HTC let you do this? I mean, it is the "personalization" button. Just slap some generic shape on there or something. One rom let me change this to broswer but it didn't work. I don't remember which one. Another let me change it and it worked fine.
Infected Eternity/ SteelRom win best dialer award
Would like to see more custom lock rings/lock ring docks out there!
Lots of interesting splash screens out there
Cameras - ISO1250 seems to make noticeably different pictures, nice to have this option. I have no idea if 8mp did anything, I guess if I pull a pic to the PC I could check it out. Touch screen shots work better than the camera button, but I use the button anyways because it just feels nicer to do. Anyone have any idea why the button lags and if it can be fixed somehow? Haven't looked to see if the compression fix for images changes anything either, maybe a comparison is in order.
Everyone who worked on removing the HTC spyware stuff has to be commended. I feel like that is the biggest difference in rooting this phone, removing that stuff makes the phone run so much better and has been less buggy for me as well. I believe Treve was a major player in this.
Support for these roms has been phenomenal. All these roms had threads with constant updates and feedback between developers and users, making them some of the many standouts on these boards.
I don't know if me writing this up helps anyone as tests were so short, but maybe it gives you an idea of what to check out. I haven't gotten around to trying out roms until lately because my phone was running great and it takes so long to try out all of them, and there's still more I wanted to test.
All the roms I tried surprised me, except MIUI and CM7, which I had varying experience with before and always feel polished. It feels like Evo3D development is picking up quite a bit, and is getting very good. Major ups to you guys cooking up these roms.
As a new Droid user, and seeing that there is so many options out there, its like asking which flavor ice cream is the best, all depends on the user and what their eye in the first place to flash it,
However I run cleanrom2.5 with the bcblend kernal and this thing is dam quick. And Scott provides superb support with all of his work. So what's your favorite ice cream? Lol, just look thro some posts and find what sounds decent and complete to you and flash it.

Thanks for everyone's feedback I greatly appreciated. I just installed steal ROM and its nice. Fast, even while being underclocked. Could use a couple of things like 8mm cam, more bloatware removed, more quick settings. Things I like. What do you guys think about his ROM?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Cleanrom has no bloat, lots of settings and options, its been cleaned up nicely, steel is very popular as well amoung the masses you just gotta try it and see what happens see if you like it or not,
Kernals are the performance boosters, to me the kernal is more important than the ROM, so just try some different things and see what u like

So my mom got a 3VO recently, and I threw CM7 on there for her.
However, it's too buggy, and having never really messed with any other stable roms, I come to you XDA.
Only requirements are
Stable
Good battery life.
Works with Sprint TV
Has a customizable notification drawer.
Works with ADW
Shouldn't be too hard right?
Thanks!
P.S. I also have a 3VO if that matters
P.P.S. Mods feel free to move if this is in the wrong section.
Try chogardjr3d.
I'd go with cleanrom
Something stock feeling would be best I believe till she gets use to it and/or bored of it.
Sent from inside my Pokéball
I don't think your mom would get "bored" with a ROM. That's a sentiment expressed by flash junkies like us...
She seems like a cool mom though if she likes flashing (had to go there)
I like the Infected Eternity ROM but I'm probably going to go back to Viper ROM when they finish their super secret project. Those are the only two I would recommend for your mom. Don't put her on any AOSP ROM until 4G Wimax is working. Unless she is ok with slow(er) speeds.
MOM ROM?
MOMROM?
MOMrom?
I offer no suggestions. Scratch that, Ill also vote for Clean. I dont use it personally but it would be good for a MOM ROM.
Why not just leave it stock?(rhetorical)

Miui ex: my mom uses!
Miui is the rom I'd suggest sure she will loose her 4G,3D but she will gain an easy to use phone and lots of hidden goods in it too don't be afraid to give her a good old 5 minute lesson one she picks up Miui she will thank you trust me!
my "MOM" has sense on her 3VO when she first got it after a week she kind of got lost in it I said why don't you use what I use? she said its probably way to complicated lol then I told her ok go to your Wifi settings, she paused for 15 secs trying to remember how to do that she did turn it off after 1 minute of searching of course I didn't help her lol I was just trying to prove a simple point...
Yes I am aware certain SENSE/AOSP roms have the same features!
I could sell anyone my phone with MIUI on it give me 15 minutes of there time and they will instantly want there phone like it.
put MIUI on your mom's phone and set swype as default yes you will have to download the beta install it and then make sure you go to swype settings and adjust for accuracy and not speed our phones so damn fast anyways it will only make it more accurate and I promise you between the messaging app that's in MIUI and the general layout of the phone she will love you for it!
in short my mother uses MIUI and she wasn't confortable with her phone for a week on sense after 1 day of her bickering on MIUI she was already thanking me on how much she loves her phone now....
both synergy and viper are pretty good

Personally I would leave her phone on stock or use a ROM that won't change much outside of improving performance. ViperRom is pretty good, doesn't remove 3D functionality.
As you can see there are lots of differing opinions, which is why we have so many ROMs here in the first place. I will however do you a favor and list your 3 best options and reasons why, in no particular order. Take whichever option sounds like it will work best for your mom:
MIUI
This one is probably your best bet if you dont care about losing your 4G and 3D. It gives the best battery life and smoothness of any ROM and is a great match for ADW, Launcher Pro, or Go Launcher EX. It is easy to use, has little to no bugs, and you wont have to worry about OTA updates because it will already be perfect and you wont see OTA notifications anyway so it wont bug your mom that there may or may not be an update. Pair this rom with AnthraX A06 kernel for best results
Stock rooted odex w/ latest update OTA
This is because it will have everything in it that the phone is supposed to have. It will be the simplest for her to deal with issues if she has to take it in to a Sprint store or call customer service or whatever. OTAs shouldnt be an issue but if you accept an OTA you will probably lose root, but that wont matter much anyway since you are trying to keep it stock. Can use ADW if you want or keep it regular Sense since thats what this phone is designed to have. This will not allow you to change notification bar things.
Eternity R81 Sense 3.0
Because it is like stock, but a few useless things are removed, performance is improved, and more stable. R81 has been reported to be nearly flawless with the exception of some GPS issues for some users only. It uses the latest OTA and stock kernel and works great. Very smooth. This has the ability to change quick-settings, the personalize button, and other notification bar things just like you want.

Great breakdown. I've been debating which ROM to flash and this is very helpful.
I'm running MIUI ROM from Th3Bill and loving it (thanks Th3Bill!), the latest release (.29) has transformed my phone - again.
I just have a question though.
I notice the bill releases lots of JB roms (AOKP, Paranoid Android, CNA, MIUI)..
I'm uncertain as to the difference between all of these.
do any work better or worse on the atrix 4g?
Don't get me wrong i'm not doubting TheBill for one microsecond, but am just curious as to why so many roms would be released by one person unless they have some difference between them, or is it just a different look and feel?
I guess i'm just wanting the best JB experience i can get with the ROMS currently available, and short of 'just trying them all', well. i took the lazy route and posted here to ask what fundamental differences there are to an end user perspective.
i understand the underlying release may have features which do not work with the atrix (cam/fp-sensor/tether) and this will be comon accross all ROMS using this underlying release.
thanks.
Gavin.
Best thing to do is probably use each for a day and see which ones have the features you like/need.
I haven't tried cna or pa yet, so I can't comment on their stability. I think since they are all based off the same cm10 that their issues (beyond the common issues of all the roms) are upstream. For example, I don't think any of the roms have camcorder 100 percent working, or native wifi hot spot. The individual roms probably have some smaller bugs that are upstream of th3Bill's work, like I said.
Here's a rough breakdown: miui is very themed/themeable and has some custom features like a cool lock screen, sms pop ups,... You probably know miui already, since you are on it. It's the most different from the rest.
Paranoid android specializes in tabet/phone hybrid ui, tweaking dpi for individual apps without reboot (I think)
Cna is the only jb rom (I think) that has custom lock screen targets yet. I don't know much about it other than that.
I'm on aokp, and I really like it. I like the notification toggles with a brightness bar underneath, and I like the rest of the systemui tweaks.
People can add to this, or correct me if I'm wrong about any of it.
Unfortunately it's a bit time consuming to set up a new rom every day, but there is only 4, so I'm sure you can find the time.... At some point.
I hope that helps a tiny bit. I'm still exploring them myself =)

Thanks for the quick and detailed reply.
Trust me to chose the 'most different' ROM (MIUI)
This is good information to have thank you, and gives me some comfort that i'm not missing out on anything, also that just trying each rom for a day or two is the way to do it.
Cheers for your help, although as my phone is a daily runner, i'll probably stick with what i know now (MIUI).
I may find a cheep atrix to try loading other roms onto soon and perhaps be adventurous with trying other roms on that.
many thanks
Gavin
Miui is definitely my favorite but it feels a little heavy/less responsive compared to aokp/cm10.
I can't comment on cna, or pa because I've never used them.
Aokp/cm10 are great. Fast and smooth and a few of the paid themes lurking around the play store are absolutely stunning, Dream, Lucid, PopStyle all amazing. I use Aokp because of it advanced visual preferences like centered clock, weather under toggles, sliders, lock screen tweaks, on screen nav buttons, stuff like that

I need my phone during the week too, so I usually try one out over the weekend. I definitely can't keep up with th3bill like that hah
Epinter
I´m using Epinter´s CM10 and I´m loving it. I find it very fast and my battery last all day.
I´ve tried MIUI and personally is the one I like the least. AOKP is good also, but not as good as Epinter.
I tried JB roms and my first ROM was CNA. But the provided build during my install had issues and Bill said he might take couple more days. Since it was more related to emails, i have to switch back to other ROM and switched to epinter.
I am on epinter CM10 and its i like it. But even in this ROM, i am having issues with apps like shopkicks not getting loaded.
And few times, when i launch four square app, i will see like slanting colored lines until i reboot.
Also rarely WiFi issues it wont connect and even not possible to disable Wifi until reboot.
But Battery wise i get nearly 1.5 to 2 days with regular use of browsing, 2 emails , texting and phonecalls.
Just recently upgraded from the Note 3 to our beloved v10, and I love the change myself. Never did like TouchWiz anyway. I am no stranger to customization and tinkering under the hood with the phone's capabilities, and I was curious on whether or not anyone had any leads into modifying our mixer_paths.xml file to make sounds from the left channel route by default to the top speaker. I will be looking into making it work as best as I can, but I was interested if anyone else has tried and succeeded before I go wild on attempting to make it happen.
Loving this closely knit (such a seemingly minute number of people makes it feel more intimate doesn't it?) community so far, and I am looking forward to see what all we can do as far as development is concerned. I believe that with an official CM, we will see some old favorites make their way into our phone. I can only venture a guess that we will undoubtedly see some Slim and PA variants in the very near future as well as some custom stock builds. Currently running the listed debloated and debranded stock and enjoying it. Who knows, maybe we will get some custom kernels to play with and make the short battery life issue I keep seeing about an end-user issue as opposed to the current belief that it is a manufacturer issue.
The way I see it, as I do with each phone I get, is that we pay a decent chunk of money for these devices; let's see what these bad boys can do. [emoji12]
"Land your plane" tldr; Anyone successfully make this phone play audio out of both the top and bottom speaker by default, thus giving us true stereo sound when listening to media?

I had horrible battery life when I first got my V10, but I did 2 factory resets (One was an accident) and the battery life is great now.
Reset and DO NOT allow google to restore the phone, manually install the apps and sync them.
Myself and quite a few others think that the restoring of data from a different phone is what is causing the bad battery life on our phones.
I normally can get 5 hours screen on time in a day if I need to.
I usually have 2.5 hours screen on time and end the day with ~40% battery remaining.
As far as stereo sound out the earpiece... That speaker is much quieter than the bottom speaker and I do not think it could ever be made to work as you want.
You might be able to get it to output to both speakers at once, but I do not think the top one would ever be loud enough to hear.
Good luck trying though, please prove me wrong.

I have been working on this on and off since I got the phone... Came from note3, with a quick stop at the nexus6... Had the stereo mod on my note as well (shinto kernel). I work on it, (found nothing yet...), then forget for a bit, and try some more... But yes, feel free to go all out... I just don't have the time or patience anymore... Lol

How did it go?
Somebody managed it for the LG G3 so I added the same line of code to our mixer_paths.xml file but it didn't work.
Heres the thread for the G3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/general/mod-play-media-sound-rear-speakers-t2964956
