Hey guys. I'm working on a written review from the point of view of someone who comes from CM 7 through 11 (aka. someone that is VERY picky about customization and lack of features as well as having a perfect, "their own" device). I have some comments related to hardware as well as software, some solutons and unresolved problems. I think that some people can benefit from reading a few pages of usefull text. After all, noone wants to waste 400$ on a phone they won't like.
Can someone tell me if I could put it here?
I guess there is nothing wrong putting in General (?) and I myself am very happy about every review I can read about this device!
Well I personally come through CM10 to 13....

So what about that review op?

Hello to all fellow Galaxy users/experts, from a noob.
I liked my Galaxy 10.1 until it recently updated itself to ICS. The operation was reasonably smooth and prior to this and the appearance of the apps was really nice.
I'm not sure how to explain but the new icons are at the bottom are thicker, crude, and unsophisticated. The fonts are disproportionately larger (at least to me). Same goes for the look of the updated browser the look of the tabs on the top remind me of windows 95.
Worse, the operation has become much jerkier and lagged even though I kill all processes using task manager.
Is there anyway I could install another theme or ROM that will take me back to the old version, or any other ROM version? I can root this thing if needed.
I hate it so much right now that I simply want to stop using tablets- and I will never go to an iPad, although one has to appreciate how beautifully they perform and look.
Thanks for all your suggestions and input!
Wait? Official ICS update? Did I miss something?
Ignore the thread and it will eventually go away.

Questions go in the Q&A section
Why would anybody hate ICS. It's what we all been waiting for.
Frying pan may help.
'noob'
I guess my opening statement didn't help.
My apologies, I should have said my Samsung tablet updated itself to some newer version that looks bad than the one I got originally when I bought the tablet. It might not be 'ICS' - I guessed wrong.
I thought I might get educated here since this forum seems to be filled with all the bright, ultra-intellectual super-human beings here.
From the responses I received, turns out there are some arrogant pricks out here too- Churning out negative responses and indulging in belittling 'normal' people on forums for no reason? YOU get a life.
If you don't want waste time answering newbie questions, please DON'T. Maybe someone else will understand and try to help.
To everyone else who could suggest something, Thank you.

Don't get all self-righteous. If you knew these forums, you'd know that your post resembles a troll post (and we get a lot of those). Frankly, I'm not totally convinced this wasn't a troll post, but I'll take a chance and assume you've never been to XDA and don't know how this forum works.
The fact is that this stuff is complicated. This is not an Android enthusiast forum; this is XDA-developers. There's a reason the word "developers" is in the name. If you want answers, you'll need to give a lot more info. To understand how to get that info, you'll need to spend some time learning about your tablet and the android operating system. You can't come to XDA and expect that we all know what you're talking about. Read, figure out what you have and what you want. And then look for a guide before you post a question, and then search to see if someone has posted the same question. The key here is read, read, read.
Welcome to XDA. You'll find a lot of very friendly people here if you 1) put in the energy to figure out what you have and want before you ask for it, and 2) search the forums before you post. Good luck.

Or a custom ROM based on Vanilla Honeycomb.
I am assuming it is the touchwiz that you don't like. Research these forums how to use ODIN to flash a rom, and use the previously mentioned www.samfirmware.com to find an appropriate ROM (I am guessing you are looking for 3.1?)

Thinking about a guide like say "links to common problems and tuts",
where there is links to every common problem of the forum in those threads. users can post more. so everything is there and its not very messy or long.
op's would get more views and thanks.
Kindly use the vote too.
is this idea good?
I think the stickies already enough (In my own opinion)
I guess we have so many stickies, should be enough

I think the idea is a good one. A bunch of the recognized contributors are trying to do something along those lines, but based on a FAQ. The idea is for most devices to end up with a FAQ with short answers to the common questions/problems. Since the answers are short, they almost always link to a longer guide/tut/resource.
fma965 put one up for the Xperia Play today, it is here if you want to take a look.
Is there any way to share op title or at least have an option for more than person to edit a post? And watch over the thread etc etc.
Sent from my Xperia Mini Pro
I think your idea is not bad but I think I already made a FAQ thread for it You can always PM me or tell me all kinds of your idea to improve it. I'm trying to make it as much helpful as I can and if you put your effort too, i think that guide can be extended to a greater level
Best Regards,
AJ

At the moment no. I think that people have asked for this in General - About xda forum. I seem to remember that it was going to be looked into...but it could be a while.
I don't think you can ever have too many guides as what you may find in one you might not find in another, but as already said it's pretty much covered in the guides/sticky department, and most of the solutions to common problems should be found by following Rule Number 1 anyway.
No offence, but the search tool of xda isn't quite up to the mark.
Quoting a person from the alternative to 10 post rule
Dblfstr said:
Agreed, but it IS an alternative. And I might point out that the search function is not the best. Case in point, I received a thunderbolt a few weeks ago, and while I was able to find what I needed to root it quickly, there things I needed to know that were no where to be found. As an RC, I knew better than to "just ask", but after I could not find my answer (although I'm sure it was here somewhere) I had to pull a n00b and ask. Of course, I was treated like a n00b with the typical "read the OP, search first" responses. NOT HELPFUL.

Google works perfectly, which is why its so frustrating when People say they've searched but not found what they're looking for, because most of the time typing a thread title or their question into Google finds it straight away, or is in one of the stickys they clearly haven't read.

Nice to see how much you searched before creating a new thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2686635
Please, look a bit before creating a new thread (this forum section is a bit stopped, but it doesn't mean there should be two threads of exactly the same thing)

If YOU look a bit closer, you will see that the thread you referenced (and which I read before posting) has not mentioned the "rumours" for a few weeks and has gone off-topic. I see no reason why I should not pose a simple question that maybe teases out a rumour or two. That's the fun and benefit of forums - to engage in conversation.
If you feel the need to make a point like this, a gentle nudge instead of sarcasm is much less offensive.

Yep. Sometimes I sound a bit rude... But the info stays exactly the same. The info there is exactly the same as here: May.

i wonder if it will be 4.4.2 we get which has some known bugs in, such as camera battery drain, or given that they have waited a long time to release it, if they will give us a newer version that has the bugs fixed?
Its coming on May ive heard

Hi,
I've finally received my Omate.
Before doing whatever:
1) how can I safely detect whether the received model is the right one (should be the 1/8/2100)
I ordered it from the pre-order omate site, not from kickstarter.
2) how can I backup my actual ROM (and other things if needed) before trying to do something?
Thank you very much in advance!
Hello,
sorry but I'm impatient. I have the truesmart now, I've been waiting for months to get it (as we all did!) and now I'm not sure what to do, so I can not use it
Sorry to disappoint you but all you can really do is hoping that the watch will last some time. No respectable developer is supporting anymore the watch. Turn it on and use it as it is, you are on your own, not even Omate will support you.
Some people reported satisfactory experiences with their watches after reading through this forum though. Maybe its because they updated their watches using the patches as recommended. Mine has great battery life and I like the swapplink app. It works for me.
I use mine all the time, works good, especially after installing the ensec rom. I don't have much to complain about anymore.

Thanks.
I will get mine (1GB/8GB Extreme, kickstarter developer version; used) soon. Not sure what rom version it will have.
Can you please send me a link to the latest ensec rom (and how to flash it)? I apologize for being a bit lazy and not reading though all threads.
I saw that most developers quit because they were not properly referenced when some other developer took/stole their work and instead of apologizing even insulted them. Sorry to see that happen and I wonder why xda is not looking into this and responding appropriately (to prevent this from happening again; does not do anyone good). We all want to be acknowledged/rewarded for what we are doing.
There's like 3 roms to choose from in the truesmart development section, one of which is ensec. Everything is in that thread.
Thanks! Seems like 1 developer still is contributing and working on improvements-thanks on behalf of this community to kuronosan.

Hi everyone,
I'm not sure if this is the correct sub-forum to post this in, but I couldn't find where else to put it after reading the rules. If it is incorrect, could a moderator please move it? Thank you!
Anyways, I wanted to make a request for an iOS 8 ROM for the Nexus 5. A lot of people, and I mean A LOT have been looking for a ROM that looks exactly like iOS, but haven't found anything (I haven't either).
The Goophone company makes fake iPhones, but they are based on Android OS. The skin that they put over it makes it look really, really close to the real thing. I was thinking a developer could somehow make a ROM similar to that one? (or even better ). I know about launchers and such, but that doesn't give you the real experience.
If there already is a ROM like this, please point me to it.. But to whomever may full fill this request: the ROM you make will be extremely popular! I guarantee it!
Thank you!
Huh?
Why not buy an iPhone instead?

try MIUI its pretty the best way for something similar to iOS and its a great experiance of an special Android, like no other... else you will not be very lucky with your request
http://en.miui.com/extra.php?mod=rom/download&r=232&mobile=no
or search in the forum for MIUI..... aaaand it is already reeeeally popular
Do not be a wannabe. Buy an iphone.
1. If A LOT of people really want something like this, then there would have been something like this long ago.
2. Nothing gives you the real experience except the real thing.
3. Rule of thumb, if you are not developing anything, the thread should either be in General or Q&A.

Please follow all XDA rules you agreed to before making a thread.
As for your request. There is MIUI a Chinese knock off OS of Crapples software (for now before Apple puts them out). IT is very popular with Chinese people and those that are Iphone converts. Not really popular here as most Hate IOS.
