Order of the Devices in the forenlist

Hello,
what do you think about a re-order of the devices in the forenlist? the newer htc devices are all at the end of the list and we have to scroll a lot? Maybe ist is possible to reorder it to the top of the list?

I agree...better yet have user be able to decide which phones/devices appear when they are logged on.

This has been asked several times before...
First devies goes up and newer goes down, imagine changing the way it has been for years!
No way!, I like it just like it is now
Just my opinion,

While most people think reordering is a good idea. However I'm used to where everything is so please don't move it or you'll make me mad, along with a lot of other "ole timers."
This has been posted before.

And believe me guys...you don´t want to see JimmyMcGee or any other "ole timer" mad

If you really want the page re-ordered (and you use Firefox), you can hide the stuff you don't want with a plug-in called GreaseMonkey. It does take a small amount of scripting on your part- but, hey, why should the admins do all the work?
Greasemonkey basically runs scripts on pages as they load, which makes it possible to customize the way you see (and interact) with other people's websites.
If you're too lazy to do that, CTRL+F will save you a bit of scrolling.

Remove apps from main screen on MIUI

Am I missing something on how to remove apps from my main screens. I just loaded the ROM and it came w/ some apps that I don't want on my main screens. When I drag them to the trash "Unable to remove system application".

1.Press the screen until the widget preview pops up
2.Drag the folder onto the homescreen
3.Drag the apps to the folder
4.Then move that folder to the next page or which ever page you're not going to use.

I really like having all my apps under one screen. Looks like I need to find another rom. The journey continues.....

Have you tried removing them with Titanium Backup?

Horrible Battery life on Canadian S3, rom or upgrade?

My wives phone is brutal on battery life, I know the usual tricks... no gps/wifi/bluetooth etc... brightness, background apps, clearing memory etc.... but it is horrible, even with a new battery.
I know we benefit from roms and tinkering... but I feel odd about doing it for her. Would the device greatly benefit from a root/custom rom? Can anyone recommend a rom thread that is based of stability and battery life? Seeing how it is old tech, as far as I am concerned... is this a fairly simple process?
thanks in advance as always

With the standard battery
Sent from another Galaxy

Each user's experience with a custom ROM is different based on a lot of variables. Your device can definitely benefit from a custom ROM or kernel or both if done correctly. This is a case of experimentation on your part to find what best suits your needs.
These kinds of threads open up all sorts of drama and as such are not allowed on XDA. I am closing this thread but leaving you with a direction to look in. Best of luck to you.

[Q] Old GS3 - Custom ROM for best sound quality

Hi everyone,
I have replaced my old GS3 with a GS5 and now would like to use it solemnly for playing music. I will never use it as a phone ever again!
So right now the phone has had all the OTA updates and is crappy slow. I'd like to install a custom ROM that would be very performant on the music part, and with no bloatware. Obviously if the ROM has issues with text messages/phone functions etc I don't care.
Also, I have just purchased a FiiO E18 (an android external amp/dac) and will be using that to process the music.
Can anyone recommend a ROM or anything I should do to my GS3?
Thanks in advance,
- Cascius

Sound is definitely better on TouchWiz... Maybe the BareBones ROM by metalfan78 might suit you, but it's ultimately up to you to do the research and find what's closest to what you want. Look through the Android Development section.

You can always install viper4android. It has excellent sound quality, with many customization options.

You could just download a stock touchwiz ROM, and remove anything phone related (the phone and texting app) and the other touchwiz bloatware so all your left with is the play store, some other app (calander, alarm, etc. The essentials), and the music app. It will basically be a mini tablet.

[Q] Touch Wiz and battery life

What is Touch Wiz and why is it a heavy burden on my new Tab S battery?
What will happen if I understand install it?

Touchwiz is on stock samsung roms. Its a skin that samsung puts on their devices. You cant install it. The only way to remove touchwiz is to install an asop rom. Battery life is fine on touchwiz for me.

Is this normal?

Yes! You can change your homescreen launcher. It looks like the toucchwiz launcher is drainingyour battery a bit. Id suggest you use nova launcher

The second day I had my tablet, I saw the same sort of battery profile. On subsequent days, everything was fine. When I saw the drain, I immediately tried Nova, which I used for years on other devices, but it didn't look right to me on the S8.4. I went back to the stock TouchWiz launcher, adjusted the UX thing on the far left window to be minimal (calendar only) and battery life has been fine since.
Good luck and give it a few days to settle before getting too worried.
