[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Effdee:
probably not

that is a huge chunk of memory to be wasting

compcache takes a proportion of physical memory, compresses it and uses it as a swap device. The benefit of this is that it is faster than normal swap.. your device thinks its got more memory than it has so apps will stay alive longer

but the price you pay is the memory is slower apps don't get killed and clutter up memory and eventually you slow to a crawl because every pointless little app is sitting in swap

the 41% value means 41% of your ram is being compressed and used as the swap space

which is very high.

you should be able to just change the compcache in the cyanogen settings

but don't take my word for cc being a bad idea

I just have the point of view that I would prefer my phone have a few key processes running well than having lots processes running badly

but what is worse is you can tell the rom is just a ripoff because it is very easy to add the higher options prior to compiling , it is just a case of adding a few strings to some xml files, no need for hacks.

[Epic 4G General] quickstang:
I was wondering how many of you have decided to ditch the marketplace in favor of the Amazon App Store?

After using it, I have highly considered this option and may do so. To me, it is MUCH better than the marketplace and seems more user friendly.

Anyone jump ship yet?
[Epic 4G General] nubsors:
Using both ATM.
[Epic 4G General] gtuansdiamm:
Agreed

Google still = main

Amazon = only good for free paid app
[Epic 4G General] jnadke:
Amazon is also good for getting adfree apps, like angry birds (legitimately, I bought it for a buck).

However, I agree with the above, mainly because Amazon can't detect which apps are installed and which need updating.
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
I'm using Google Market primarily. I only use Amazon for the free paid apps lol
[Epic 4G General] nubsors:
Are you still using your Epic?
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
Yeah, I never sold it. The sale fell through. I'm going to get the EVO 3D and give my mom my Epic. So it'll still be in the family.
[Epic 4G General] quickstang:
Free paid apps. :D

I myself have actually used it for that. When I see an app that is normally $2

or so and it's free, i'll grab it. However, I have seen a few free apps that seem to only have a 1 star rating, so who knows.

I hope they don't start off with some great apps then go downhill and offer nothing we want.

You never know, this app may take over the market. Very well possible as Amazon has been in the marketplace business longer than Google. I guess only time will tell.
[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
Don't use it or like it :p
[Epic 4G General] Quis89:
How do you get this app store? Can you virw and download from your phone?
[Epic 4G General] MedicStuder:
Using both amazon for free paid apps but google still my main.
[Epic 4G General] faceless:
this is what i'm doing too.
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
I primarily use google market, the amazon one is good for free paid stuff, I have another market that I use as well to test drive stuff (don't think i can mention it here though)

still though, no matter how many markets we have/use it's STILL way better than the iTunes lockdown LOL
[Epic 4G General] ptfdmedic:
Only problem with Amazon is the apps only work if the Amazon market is installed.
[Epic 4G General] gtuansdiamm:
Yay whosdaman is still with us for now

Too bad your sale didnt go as planned
[Epic 4G General] stir fry a lot:
Spill the beans bro.
[Epic 4G General] akijikan:

[Epic 4G General] lancelane:
New market

I am using it to get their free apps, but I don't think it is as fast. I still use appbrain.com on my computer to browse through apps and load them later. I only go to the google apps store when I know what I am looking for or I need to do it on the fly.

My money was on Google and Amazon finally getting together and doing the app store up right with music and everything, but it looks like that is not going to happen with Google releasing their music store soon and Amazon having just released their app store. I ramble.

Epic with Syndicate Frozen ROM 1.1. I tried the rest and now on to the best.
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
Well it makes sense for amazon to lock down their apps. Sure everyone hates the idea, but understand their point of view on that. I mean you can't even remove the google market without root lol. So why don't you complain about that?
[Epic 4G General] Top Nurse:
Your kidding, right? Please don't tell me that my apps will quit working if I delete the Google Market...
[Epic 4G General] Dsparil:
I'll be removing the amazon app store as soon as angry birds rio hits the market.

I'm not into supporting fragmentation of the android market.
[Epic 4G General] itsmebryan:
Why? So it's better to support Amazon to get what you want. Then, dump them when you can get it somewhere else. Why support them at all and wait for Angry birds Rio to come out on Goggle? Because you or are going to get Angry birds only helps Amazon get more traffic and helps them grow. So it's too late you are all ready supporting Amazon. It's like saying I will only shop at Sear and not Target because I don't want to fragment the market place.

I like Amazon and not just the app store and plan to use it more.
[Epic 4G General] josidhe:
I was under the impression that when it comes to merchants, it's competition, not fragmentation.

Fragmentation refers to Google's refusal to take charge of their platform in such a way that new code is accessible to everyone at the same time (especially now that it looks like Android will be the malware target of the mobile world).

Two vendors selling against each other, on the other hand, has historically been good for the consumer. I mean, unless you WANT developers to have only one single possible way to make a living in the Android ecosystem.
[Epic 4G General] youngpro83:
How do you guys the amazon app store?
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
There's a much better app store for free apps

I love googles "use what you want" approach :)
[Epic 4G General] epicblows:
I am closing my google account and syncing contacts with yahoo mail and messenger. I am gonna usze a rom without the google market and wait a minute... were those some special mushrooms I just ate?

so... i have been doing a lot of research over the past couple days and have come to the conclusion that these are the steps to getting my phone completely rooted and flashed to a gingerbread ROM... let me know if i'm off or what steps may need to be added to get to the prize...

1.temp root

2.perm root

3.flash recovery image

4.flash gingerbread ROM

i am a noob trying to get by so be easy on me...

~Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z General] DarkPyroGuy 09:
It's a really easy and relatively safe process, use the g-free method to root, this way http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD when your done just flash the gingerbread rom through clockwork. Remember to do nandroid backups so if something goes wrong you can revert back.
[G2 and Desire Z General] EdKeys:
I agree. That's the best and safest process to use. Just don't try to use Visionary for perm root...although some have had success, there are just about as many that have messed up their phones with it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] SinisterGame:
so i wouldn't be safe using this guide? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=928160
[G2 and Desire Z General] lil-devil:
i've seen many people have problem using that guide

but if you don't mind using ADB (very simply) i would suggest you take the gfree/rage way also it took me 15 mins to root my g2 when i did it

Good Luck~ :)
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] kumarshah:
So, I have noticed that when I use widgetsoid to enable/disable data connection (have to do that when using Market due to the market trying to use data instead of WiFi), it works to disable the data connection. Then if I leave it and let's say next day at work enable it, the indicator turns green again but the "arrows" for H+ never show up.

The only way then is for me to restart the phone.

Any ideas, maybe some widgetsoid settings I need to change to make this work properly?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] panflute:
data connection

There are a few threads on this. Data connection can be BROKEN by using some of the power widgets. That is what happened to me anyway. i had to reset the phone to get my data working again and now i only use the built in power widgets which are ugly but work fine. If you uninstall the power widget and everything works again you may want to consider leaving it that way.

[A7 General] TexasGrrl:
Ok so I have been running the Dexter mod version 1.2 on my elocity, and I got brave and decided to update to v1.41. After installing I am stuck at a screen that says "Booting recovery kernel image". I have been trying to find a solution to this, but I feel a bit in over my head, as I am quite new to this. Can anyone help or point me in the right direction of a fix if there is one? I'm not exactly a tech genius but I can follow step-by-step instructions :) Anyone?
[A7 General] netstat_EVO:
Make sure the file size of your .zip is 104mb

Could have been a bad download.

Re-download, make sure to check file size.

Start from scratch. Making sure to do the wipe/factory reset and clear cache.

Hope it helps. Bricks are so much less entertaining than tablets.
[A7 General] TexasGrrl:
My .zip is showing as 110mb even after downloading again

Since I am stuck at the "booting recovery kernel image" screen I haven't been able to get back to the recovery menu...is there a way to force?
[A7 General] rifdroid:
If you hold the power button in for about 15 seconds it will turn off and you can restart the process.

Hope this helps you.
[A7 General] TexasGrrl:
After it powers back up it keeps taking me to the same screen instead of the recovery menu...
[A7 General] rifdroid:
After it has turned off. Removed the SDcard...Hold the button in for 2 seconds and release...Then hold the button in again till the message about holding it in for 5 seconds appears...Keep holding the botton in...DO NOT RELAESE IT till the config screen comes up...Navigate to factory reset...choose the YES option.

That should then reset back to factory settings. I would also redownload the Dexter Mod again, just to make sure it wasn't corrupt.

That should clear it up for you.
[A7 General] TexasGrrl:
For some reason it won't take me to the 5 seconds message (it used to before all this no prob)...it just has the same "booting" message when it initially comes up and if I continue to hold down the power button, it will power back off instead of the config screen
[A7 General] nthknd:
Follow the instructions but hold the power and press the home button at the same time i tend to get recovery that way
[A7 General] TexasGrrl:
I tried, but still nothing....

As much as I love this thing, it's about to become a frisbee here in a few more minutes...

[Vibrant General] ULiAsuj10:
I have unlocked vibrant....and i'm with ATT....yesterday my GPS died on me after working for couple of months. I mean its dead...couldn't even lock any sats. today my sister who is with t-mobile used her sim becoz her phone wasn't working and i realized that my GPS started working.

I couldn't believe that so i tried my ATT sim again and GPS was gone...!!!

i don't understand this.....how can i fix my phone to work with ATT. now i know my gps was fine its just network....giving problem....OR NOT!!! some suggestions would be very helpful....thanks
[Vibrant General] oka1:
Look at Kwkslvr's fix Basically it sounds like the spring tab is not connecting with the 2nd part of the antenna
[Vibrant General] ULiAsuj10:
I understand that but why it works on t-mobile sim though....
[Vibrant General] VICosPhi:
If it comforts you at all, two days ago my GPS died as well, it comes back to life whenever it wants, 90 % of times it won't lock at all. Oh and I have done the gps hardware fix, I have put a piece of credit card, still the gps wont work. Tried with heathens gps fix, Bionix etc...
[Vibrant General] Krzysiek_CK:
In last week or so, I have noticed that in the Chicago area the network location stopped working for me. My guess is that AT&T is upgrading towers (4G) and Google needs to catch-up with tower location ids.

You can test by using Maps with GPS turned off. You should get the large circle for the network location. If not, you are having the same problem as I do. Network location is very important while using A-GPS.
[Nook Color General] thereddog:
So, in lieu of Google holding onto the HC source code and me getting fed up with the stock ROM, I am wondering if I should for for Nookie Froyo or CM7 or maybe wait longer...

List of things I don't like about 2.1 rooted ROM:

B&N launcher, I'm always hitting it by accident

No copy/paste (need!)

No Flash support

Overall slow, buggy performance, screen not so accurate (big pain)

App incompatibility, I'd like to try some apps like Firefox or update Maps regularly

WiFi issues, have to toggle on/off to connect

Poor battery life

List of things holding me to 2.1 now:

Notification bar on bottom, with back and menu buttons (this is a big one)

Ability to quickly lock to portrait mode by tapping the clock

And since I only have 2 GB uSD cards, can I completely copy my current ROM with CWM to restore back to where I am now?

Thanks for any input

i have tried nookie froyo, Honeycomb and now CM7 on the ineternal memory and personally i find CM7 alot more stable, my youtube works, flash works, bluetooth works, orientation is smoother than others, apps do not seem to over scale/under scale often...oooh yeah my angry birds work, wifi stays connected when coming out of sleep mode, but early way you go you are gonna get some bugginess. but CM7 does not seem to have as many.

[Nook Color General] phillipbess:
Which Rom

I use Nookie Froyo (from the sd card) on my unrooted Nook. It works really well gives u access to the market and all that it brings; I have gmail,Gtalk etc. good battery life, and you can just remove the sd card to use the Nook in the "out of the box form".
[Nook Color General] rogerdugans:
One of the great things about the NC as it is right now:

there are a HUGE number of ways to try new things.

Personally I am a fan of rooting for the speed gains and ease- once cwm recovery is installed I can flash and revert easily and as needed.

I run CM7 nightlies on emmc (internal memory) and keep important backups (still have rooted stock and at least 2 GOOD, stable backups at all times) and yet test any and all new rom updates and test I choose.

Flash works and video should be perfect in CM7 soon: I just tried the video test build (and wiped data) and reverted back to my nightly with Tablet Tweaks and 1.1Ghz overclock, all configured and ready to go. Nightlies have not YET required me to do a data wipe....

My point being- it is pretty simple to try any and all roms and decide which you want from personal experience.
[Thunderbolt General] infamousxsniper:
Do you guys think roms like ruby from the incredible will make it onto the thunderbolt? That had to have been my favorite aosp rom. O hope they make one for here.
[Thunderbolt General] Zomb!e:
I don't think Ruby will happen since the developer stopped developing for it and joined the CM team. Unless someone else picks up developing it.

But there will be other AOSP roms along with CM7 and MIUI available I'm sure. Its just a matter of time.

[Vega Android Development] Logseman:
This seems really sweet!

I have some questions:

1) Can the soft buttons be placed further away from each other? Unlike the Nook Color, the Advent Vega has a screen with touch registering issues and it's probably easy to misclick buttons if they're in the normal disposition.

2) What's the "encore" release for?

Danke für die Anstrengung! :)

Hi i tried to install CM7 before the version b2 and now this one and both stuck at the boot screen with android and the arrow makes circles. Do i miss something? i tried full wipe + format sd but still nothing. I must wait longer than 20 min?

Any suggestions

Thank you

Same here. Full wipe of data, cache, dalvik cache.

Waited 40 minutes but system does not boot. Only arrow making circles. Restart did not help either.

Welcome to Vega Murdock, remember you from my DesireHd Nightly days. Whats up with these two zips? One is the rom and one addons?
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
with the big buttons (much bigger as on default cm7), i dont have any issue to hit what i want. dont want it even bigger.

zero idea. works here. gotta point bumble bee to this. you did take the vega build and not flash the encore build?

still having and hugging my desire hd (:

encore = nook color

vega = vega + mobii

i just copied that post from the nook color thread where this is all discussed.

please discuss overall issues (non-vega-related) on nook color thread
[Vega Android Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
Yes, I checked the file on my SDcard its the Vega file. I checked as well the build.prop and updater-script, it says definitely Vega.

When I am back home tonight I will reflash stock ROM to recover and retry flashing your ROM.
[Vega Android Development] nickwarn:
The Vega rom boots and runs nice. Its very odd having statusbar going from bottom to top but very cool. Nice work. Now back to testing

Just one question, why did you post Nook Colour rom here? Encore is Nook, right?

Maybe we could have multi language, would be nice

Edit. You answered before i posted, im to slow
[Vega Android Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
Does the ROM require EXT2/3/4 on the SD card? I don't have it and this is the only thing I can think about at the moment which might be different.

The ROM comes with its own kernel? I had before installed [KERNEL] Buzz Vega | .32.35 | CIFS | TUN | EXT4 | SLAB | NOOP | WiFi | NTFS | HOST/SLAVE | 0.7, Updated 25/03/11 from buzzing bee. But that should have been overwritten when I flash your ROM.
[Vega Android Development] nickwarn:
I came from CorvusVega rom but as long as you wipe everything cache,dalvik,system,data,boot, it shouldnt be a problem. I hate that we cant get in to recovery from off position. If thats possible to do with some hack that should be the next big thing

[Vega Android Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
Got the ROM finally working, maybe during 1st flash something went wrong.

Its still the old version, new version is still downloading (terrible slow connection here in China).

I installed it on a Viewsonic Viewpad 10s, which is the Vega but with build in 3G card. Unfortunately the card is not working. when I go to the settings -> Wireless & network settings -> Mobile networks, I can enable data communication, but he does not find any provider and the signal in the task bar shows no signal.

In the stock 1.09 ROM its working without any problems.

Will download latest version, test again and report here.
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
should work. feel free to flash another kernel over this. changes are not kernel related.

current build got some minor bugs which I fix when I get back tonight. mainly the new soft button. check nook color thread for details

Morsed by hitting a plastic pipe with my Desire HD. Excuse typos.
[Vega Android Development] Lennyuk:
I believe this rom will have the same kernel as Bumble-Bee's CM7 build, so no host and no a2sd!

However I have asked BB to make a new kernel so hopefully he will do this asap.
[Vega Android Development] Harplo:
Great Rom!! Thanks for sharing your work & time with us.

Thinks I like.

CM7 Booting image

CM7 look & tweaks

CM7 Table tweaks, especially bottom bar.

Host mode working. N1!

Don't like:

The bar buttons. Really don't like them.Any change of changing them? I know it's a silly thing but them seem huge to me.

Bugs I found:

Default Keyboard going on and off every time I press a key. Annoying.

Wifi disconnecting randomly and not reconnecting in a while.

Touch Screen not responding until I change orientation. Weird.

Thanks!
[Vega Android Development] nickwarn:
We are all diffrent i like the soft buttons. about keyboard going on and off try moving soft buttons to right side and remove quick notification button. That fixed it for me. The buttons can be changed back later than it will work as it should. But i think theres some strange behavior from quick notification button, for example when pressing it it shuts down the screen it dont answer to any touches only on soft buttons, so i have to press the statusbar up and from there press the back button then it wakes up. I dont know, maybe its supposed to be like that.
