is Lollipop a step backwards... in some ways it is!!! topic

Lollipop seems a little quicker and better battery life.

However it seems to me the developers have changed many things just for the sake of it, and many of those old good things are now worse. Many require a lot more clicks to do the same job.

For example, the pull down status bar quick settings isnt as good and isnt customisable like it used to be. and many features are no longer intuitive to open or access them.

Changing txt size in messaging simply by using volume up or down was convienient.

The camera is not as easy to use. Beforehand the video and the photo button were on the main camera screen so you could instantly select one or the other to quickly take a photo or a video. Now you must swipe the screen and then select the video or the camera option and then when the screen refreshes you can then click the button to start recording to take the photo. That can litterally add 5 seconds to the time it takes to get a video going plus you need to concentrate on the camera screen to get the process correct, so you are late capturing the action and cant watch what was going on with whatever it was you wanted to video or take a shot of.

The camera settings are not as customisable as it used to be either and currently you cant even select to store in the external sd card

Phoning and txting is not as easy or simple as it used to be. Eg, in "recents" you used to be able to swipe right to call a contact and swipe left to text. Now to call you tap on them. then have to tap it again to select to call them. And if you want to text you need to tap on the icon next to the name or number and it opens the contact, then you need to select the message icon to txt them. Friggen stupid!

What else am I missing here??? Im probably being a bit picky... but why make it worse!

[Q] What's the next step? topic

Hi,

This is my first time doing this and I've been doing pretty good until I get to this stage where I got the status 7 error while installing zip file cm-11-20140217-NIGHTLY-d2spr.zip. I want to transfer other files (cm-11-20140203-NIGHTLY-d2spr.zip) to my phone but when I reboot, the logo still stuck on "Samsung Galaxy S III"...

I am still able to go into PhilZ Touch 6 CWM Base version 6.0.4.5 but I don't really know what to do from there. The files I have currently in my phone are:
DE-SAMSUNGNIZER_KNOX_REMOVAL_SCRIPT_V1.0.zip
UPDATE-SuperSU-V1.93.zip
cm-11-2014-0217-NIGHTLY-d2spr.zip
pa_gapps-stock-4.4.2-20131230-signed.zip

What I did was:
1. Rooted my phone using Odin and verified that my phone was root via RootChecker app.
2. I went to "Wipe Data/Factory Reset" and chose the option to "Clean to Install a New ROM".
3. Then I received the error Status 7 message
4. Reboot and it also said "Root access is missing. Root device?" then either option (yes or no), still stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S III.

My phone is Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III 4.4.2, SPH-L710 and I followed the instruction from this website: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2596697

Your assistance is greatly appreciated! Thank you.
