Every AT&T user by now probably knows about the "feature" that protects your touchscreen from constant touch input from a waterdrop, right?
For every one of us that looove using our phone while swimming *sigh*.
Know why they implemented it? To protect your phone? No. Because of lazy, poor and dumb "copy & paste" engineering work.
Moto devs copied this "feature" from Defy:

Only thing they forgot is that the Atrix IS NOT a waterproof phone.
Cool story bro.
I feel so cool by saying that. But really if you think that any manufacture writes code from ASOP source from scratch for every phone you're nuts and it really doesn't surprise me at all.

weird thing, since my friends milestone suffers from same problem. thought milestones was coded before

Why can't this be hacked to be turned off?

it's in the pds partition, which isn't something most devs are willing to mess with.

I´m not saying that. Only saying that copying code that makes sense for waterproof phones for phones that are not waterproof is just plain lazy and stupid work.

I write code from scratch all the time but I do agree that it's not surprising
the main question is- Can this damn thing be fixed???
I go swimming with mine all the time. I dont have any touch imput so i think this feature is great.
Phone wont turn on though :/
So I bought a vibrant 3g on Craigslist. I love it, its especially fantastic running passion ICS. But in settings>apps>running its only showing about 330mb of ram, about 200 of which is currently being used. I had an LG P500 Optimus T before this phone and both phones ate supposed to have 512mb of ram. But they usually don't show all 512, I.e. my O1 always showed about 450 of ram all together if that sounds right? Idk if the previous owner of this phone messed it up or not or whether it even needs needs to be fixed at all. Please let me know if anyone knows anything about this issue, thank you.

Well this happens because the OS it self needs ram to run an also the parts of the phone take up ram like the camera takes ram the Gpu takes up ram those are the only two i know of but it really doesn't matter but it does affect performance a little but hopefully google can slim down OS

Thanks y'all, I did a few Google searches and that's exactly what they said.
Another quick question; passion ICS is amazing on this phone but sometimes, occasionally, the touchscreen is unresponsive on the lock screen. Does anyone know any reasons why? Or any solutions to it? I've been looking around but I can't figure it out for the life if me. Thanks and God bless y'all.

I'm having the same issue, and im sure everyone else on V10 is too i hope it gets fixed in a update soon.
Meanwhile, if it happens, just lock your screen and unlock it again and that should fix it for that time.

I think it's an ICS issue? I've seen it on Galaxy Nexus reviews.

the vibrants ram criples the phone. My cuzins infuse 4g with about 100 more free ram functions much better than my vibrant. it doesnt "hang" to free up ram and it can multitask 10 light apps instead of 4 or five like the vibrant. I love my vibrant, but my flash videos crashing and my fb app hanging just to free ram makes me pissed. dont even get me started on browser start up. Runing simply stock over here (better than simply honey and lighter).
So I got my galaxy s3 just a week back and I was playing nova 3 when I discovered this feature. Just like on iPhone. Look at the video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?nomobile=1&v=ihDW-7f6CbI
and yes iphone did copy android first
I thought ICS has always been like that??
Wouldn't know this is my first ics device was on Htc Evo 3d before
That's excellent.
Deebo took your bike too?!
Nice, thanks for the heads up.
ICS has always been like this.

not sure of that, this doesn't work on the galaxy nexus on 4.0.4
To all who don't have the feature, well here is the answer: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kiumiu.ca.statusbar.free
wow that's really nice, I didn't know about that. It's an S3 thing cause I just tested it with my friends Nexus and nothing happened.
Thanks, I had no idea we could do this

So I tested on the HTC one x and it doesnt work without the app mentioned in this thread.
Hi there Fellow N7100 Note II Users
Since theres no rom this thread will be in general
I'm trying to port the 4.2.1 from SGS III
About the SDS you don't need to worry I'm using a secure kernel
but if your interested in help porting you can PM me!
So whats the progress?
So far it boots to the boot screen and there it stops.
i figured out i've missed some few things so i'll be fixing those later!
Once again if your interested in help porting give your time to reply and tell me what you can do :angel:
Best Regards LSD
EDIT: attached SGS III boot.img (http://www.mediafire.com/edit/?1nc7vr5ln6uy2hk)
EDIT: attached SGNII boot.img http://www.mediafire.com/?me2emfnsn0mgqd0
Also heres 3 "unpacked boot images"
Boot_NII is obviously extracted files from our Note II
Boot_SGSIII is obviously from leaked SGS III kernel
BOOT-EXTRACTED is from My Modified NII Kernel
i'm sure i've forgotten something but yet i'm not sure must read logcat more closely !
I am in.

Great to see that someone is interested int his aswell
heres a logcat when it was booting into boot screen http://www.mediafire.com/edit/?1nc7vr5ln6uy2hk
some changes was made in samsung boot.img
but that didn't seem to make it, maybe i need a kernel which works with JellyBean 4.2?
Hmm seems like i used old kernel instead of using the modified kernel. maybe thats why it didn't boot so far .
Did any of the custom kernels needed to be modified to work under 4.2.1?
It is saying access denied, maybe upload it to pastebin or as a file?
Btw got it working by removing edit from the link
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
But why? Official 4.2.2 is coming in 2 weeks from Samsung.

2.months back, the was an idiot who flashed omega for s3, based on 4.2.1 on the note 2 and guess what, it booted. Just no bluetooth and too much lag.

You are actually right. We won't feel much of a difference. It is too big a project. Samsung will release 4.2.2 sooner or later so there is no point. But i am idle due to summer holidays so nothing bad in challenging myself.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Yeah, but it should have at least one or two pros at least to be worthy of such an effort? Because essentially 4.2.1 on N2 is much more feature rich than S3, from what I gather. And you'd miss out on some N2 features as well.
I would like to test the rom if you are after testers when you have something working ^_^

The main features are spen and some note apps which I may not use at all. That's not a big problem.

well i modified bootclasspath but it seems to be something else that might be missing, maybe wrong permissions etc, or lack of files. can't really say now i'm trying to make it boot but seems like i've missed something in boot image or i've missed some files sadly when i used some other files it didn't go past the samsung galaxy note II splash screen. but i'll look into it. i think its kernel related, and yet i can't fix that now since i got to restore my phone so i can make my flashable zip tested. or i can but i need to take my time for that.
i neither don't know if anything have changed in 4.1>4.2 if there's something thats need to be added but i think it shouldn't be any big problem
Guys... the developer probably know there is a 4.2.2 coming. With all my respect for you, please do not repeat it again.
To the developer, keep it up! It would be very happy to test out some 4.2 a week befour everybody else!

I'll be trying to make it boot now again,
if it doesn't boot this time i'll go out and being mad when i smoke up my cigarette, after that i'll continue to try to make it boot :good:
if it was daylight i would go out each time it doesn't boot but i don't have the energy for that atm
bad news guys it seems like i have ***** up my adb (or phone) it doesn't recognize my device don't know the reason neither.
i can't do anything until i fix adb since my phone is only reliable on OS X.
Hey everyone, I just flashed CM11 and I'm lacking a nice wallpaper..I keep looking for some nice artwork or something to put but nothing seems to give my phone that perfect look.lol. I'm in need of someone who could maybe make me a custom wallpaper for my Galaxy S4 and Nexus 7(they both run CM11).
It should match the resolutions..so maybe 2 copies of the wallpaper. One that matches the S4 and the other that matches the Nexus 7(2013).
If someone could do this, I'd be very grateful. If you are able to, just comment on the thread or just DM me.

I was thinking maybe some that are "minimalistic". Like if you have ever watched any review videos by MKBHD, the style wallpapers he uses. I was also thinking maybe "tech"style wallpaper. Like maybe a circuit board type look or something.. As far as colors are concerned, I'm down for almost any colors.I wanna utilize the Super AMOLED display hahaha
