| ![]() @anilisanil Hey Anil, I just booted into Ubuntu. The phone needs to be rooted and just follow instructions mentioned in that XDA thread. What we get is full size Ubuntu with GImp editor and major applications. The place where we may get a problem is while entering the screen size. 1280*800 is incorrect and use 1280 x 800 (use small "X" instead of *). I am just wondering how i can now project this into a monitor and use it as a full size desktop. |

I have seen my stock 2.2 on the humble optimus one last a day if I do what I would do with my Nokia. If you browse and play games with a considerable screen size I am not sure there are too many other OSes which will not drain your battery soon. I have played with iphone 3G which is even more pathetic when it comes to battery life. If you talk about crapware hogging resources or rooting your phone and benchmark scores you are not an average user :-). I agree with your points but is there a better alternative at this point in time? Iphone would not have allowed me or a lot of other people to venture into smartphone territory. After optimus one, I am thinking of upgrading to Note and that is what Android has done to the market. | |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() My Galaxy Ace has stopped vibrating all of a sudden today. Could this be a firmware issue ? I'm running on rooted stock GB. Will a hard reset solve this issue ? |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Just a question to all android users, do you think it would be great if there was a phone number to call if you needed to ask these questions instead of a thread? Pramod |

I don't agree as then It would not have got documented like it is being done on forums and my doubts and clarifications would have mostly got confined to me and solution provider only. Quote:
Anil some confusion. I am already using these steps for making my boot animation and it is working fine. Now I have a video of my daughter which I want to use as Bootanimation. There are 2 ways out: 1) Either i break the video into small pic files in .png format and then make a bootanimation (Breaking video into small pic files is difficult) 2) I find a app which uses video file to make a bootanimation. I am trying to find 2 solution. What information you have shared is a app which converts existing file into a boot animation which i have been doind it successfully since some time.

| ![]() I do. If I were asked to call a number every time I had trouble with Android, I would never have even considered it. I like the feeling that I CAN control my phone as much as possible rather than some nondescript person replying me. |

| ![]() Google Maps Update? I rooted my phone just so that I could get the google navigation working in India. Now Google Maps is on the list of available updates. Should I let it update, or will that undo my enabling-navigation work? |

You can try giving an update, and see what happens - it will download but will fail to update. Last edited by clevermax : 22nd March 2012 at 19:59. | |
