Major Instagram UI Update! topic

It's been 2 years since the filter loving, social network, instagram appeared in the hands of Android users. And just now, has it finally gotten the overhaul it needed to compare to its classic ios counterpart.

The new app design brings a flat look to an even smoother user experience. Adding new animations and transitions is something the we're not shy of as well. Another nifty update is their performance boost for devices who run older versions of Android such as a galaxy nexus or Samsung galaxy s2.

Overall this ui is something to adore but is still something that lacks a high resolution uploading ability that ios has to offer. Either way, instagram for Android is fresh and once again, enjoyable.

Here is a video u made going over the big features.

[Q] Major difference in 3G data speeds between ROMs topic

I just discovered a major difference between my 3G data speeds between ROMs on my HTC One

I've done a lot of tests to prove my point, I've been switching between stock Three UK ROM/firmware (Android 4.3) and ARHD (Android 4.3-4, US Dev / international firmware) for 7 consecutive days, and every day performed 5 "control" speed test, on each ROM/Firmware, in same location.

1) on Stock Three UK ROM/Firmware I'm getting on average 6Mbps (max 8Mbps, min 1.5 Mbps)
2) on any others I'm getting on avg. 2-3Mbps (max 5Mbps, min 1Mbps)

So my question is, why stock branded ROM/firmware is on average 3Mbps faster than any other ROM/firmware configuration,
and is there any way to improve speeds on non branded rom?

*I think that's because only stock is actually using DC-HSDPA, is it possible to force enabling of it on other roms?

Having a major issue with the rom V5. Please help! topic

Hi to All members,

I flashed V5 rom by Anirudhks. But When i dial and call, the phone reboots. It was working perfectly with the stock rom. Please help me i`m already very frustrated.

Also, my external SD card is not detected. If anyone knows the fixes please help me i`ll be very grateful to you.

Thank you.

[Q] MAJOR NOOB needs help with using my external SD for apps and data topic

So I have looked around XDA-Developers for at least 3 hours now over the past few weeks (most from work!), and I am still absolutely lost when it comes to fixing my L9 P769 ((running JB 4.1.2 (SW Ver P76920h)) so that I can install apps to my ext. SD card.

I have read multiple forums and posting, and I am convinced that you all KNOW what your are doing, but I still can make sense of your posts enough to fix my own phone. Can anyone PLEASE explain this in as much detail as possible, step by step?

I am not as big a NOOB as some (I have flashed ROMs to 5 different phones over the years) BUT I still can't get this one figured out, and the last thing I want to do is screw up the phone I need for daily communication.

My wish list for this phone is not that long.
1) Apps to my Ext. SD
2) ability to communicate with a heart rate strap (I think I need BT 4.0, but I read somewhere that it could be done with this phone.)
3) Maybe make my phone a little faster (OC of CPU? what does overclocking the GPU help with?)

I'd rather not put a new ROM (.kdz?) on this phone, unless it's FLAWLESS. I have a very low tolerance for glitches, in my old age!

Thanks for any help and all replies!

Major benefits upgrading to KK over JB? topic

Hello! I was wondering if there were any major advantages to upgrading my already rooted vzwONE and running santod040's debloated 4.3 "rom".

Reason I ask is because I tried to install the ViperOne ROM and realized I wasn't on KK. It looks like a cool rom! But I would probably just be as happy with the NuSenseONE rom.

Advice/opinions/suggestions please!
