Yes and no. If I understand correctly, the "boot" command copies the image over and launches it without flashing. Which would be handy when hacking away at a custom kernel.

But, if it doesn't work, I'll live without it.

[G Tablet General] albright:
After installing tnt lite 4.2.5 and clemsyn kernel (v6), I tried to

start google earth (it was already installed). It froze and the

tablet rebooted.

Now many or almost all apps fail with the "stopped unexpectedly" error.

It seems that if I re-install an app it works again correctly.

I'm guessing that the googleearth crash and sudden reboot

caused some corruption of the file system.

Is there a tool to check the file system's integrity?

Any other advice about this kind of problem would be appreciated.

TIA.

Or maybe you just need to wipe data and cash and davlic after new kernel. I would start there. You could try fixing permissions in clockwork as well.

I was wondering if it was possible to read/reply to txts messages on the lock screen rather than have to always unlock my phone to read and reply to them and if so how do I go about making it so that my phone can do this? Im currently running CM7 RC2 on the DInc. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Hello

I'm really out of this game. I been doing about a day of google.

I'm fixing Mytouch 3G which had a crack LCD. According to the User the phone work until he dropped it and crack LCD.

I replaced the LCD. Boot up. No Display just backlight and vibrate once. I figure Low Battery. So I let it charge overnight

Boot up again and same symptom.

I hold Trackball and Power = Blue LED = Does nothing for me = Just Backlight

I hold Back and Power = Fastboot on the computer but On Phone -> no display -> just backlight

Tried

Fastboot -W

erasing 'userdata'... FAILED (remote: not allow)

and

fastboot reboot-bootloader

rebooting into bootloader... FAILED (remote: not allow)

I believed the phone never been rooted before

Currently have no SIM and no microSD card install

can someone put me into the right direction?

is the Flash Corrupted? or The LCD replacement just bad or Hardware failure from the drop
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Magic2010:
I point to a bad assembly of the LCD..

Assuming that it worked correctly before.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
I'm going to second this. Still sounds like a hardware issue.
[Atrix 4G General] Supish:
Ok so a few hours ago, my phone is working perfectly fine. Then all I did was change to LauncherPro to check it out, clicked the contacts app and it somehow sent me to the dialer, I then checked the contacts tab in the dialer and there were NO contacts. So, I went back to my usual ADW and my contacts are gone there too!!

Yes, I made sure it was "all contacts" and I treid resetting my phone several times but with no results. Another interesting thing I noticed, my MotoBlur account is GONE from my accounts. So, when I take my sim card out and turn my phone back on, the phone does not ask for me to put in my motoblur account (good thing?).

Could the lack of a motoblur account somehow deleted my contacts (I have no idea how I got rid of the motoblur account). I have made no backups of my contacts (sadly) so my only option that I know of is to manually add them back, but hopefully maybe someone can shed some light on this situation. TIA

Edit: losing contacts not a huge problem, can manually put them back, but still want to know how i got rid of motoblur account.
[Atrix 4G General] drock212:
Thats very odd indeed, your blur account got deleted... have your tried simply adding it back I think this would also bring back your contacts and when you said you went back to standard launcher did you uninstall it? I installed launcherpro once but that never happened to me.
[Atrix 4G General] Supish:
I tried adding it through "add account" but all it showed was accounts for facebook, myspace, last.fm etc. no motoblur adding

Also, i logged into my motoblur account through motoblur website, and it still has my phone information
[Atrix 4G General] dmappdev:
Do.you have a custom rom flashed?
[Atrix 4G General] Supish:
nope, just launchers
[Atrix 4G General] drock212:
wait youre running multiple launchers? try uninstalling them and see...

Also does anyone know where blur account info is house? Im in root explorer trying to find it with no luck, the only think I can imagine is (which I dont know how it would have happened) that one of your launchers did something to the root of where that information is house deleting the blur account but again I've never heard of this happening before

Edit: well this situation now makes two of us lmao while trying to solve your problem I seem to have replicated it. So now I just need to find out how to log back into blur... hey if anyone can it it would be greatly appreciated. So brief summery, I seem to have reset blur on my phone so that I am no longer logged into it I still have all my other emails and FB synced up but blur has disappeared and I cant find a way back in.
[Atrix 4G General] Supish:
LOL how did you replicate it?

and do you still have your contacts?
[Atrix 4G General] drock212:
nope no contacts lol, no anything and the way I did it was using root explorer I went into system/framework/ and in there is a file called blur-res.apk I ran it to see what it would do and it wiped my blur lol I also noticed that my social networking app or whatever it maybe called is no longer functioning when I try to use it it states that i need to create an account but when I try it doesnt go anywhere. does your social networking app still work?
[Atrix 4G General] Supish:
does not work, same problem as you, but i usually have it frozen anyways
[Atrix 4G General] drock212:
yeah it seems that one of your launchers may have ran this apk then causeing this issue lol Im going to titan back up then reset, I cant seem to find a solution to get that social network app working again
[Atrix 4G General] Supish:
yeah whatever, i dont need motoblur account
[Atrix 4G General] drock212:
funny enough I forgot I had backed up all my contacts via vcards to my sdcard so I just imported them lol

Okay, so I hear in FroYo that you're not suppose to kill and end tasks? Does that means services as well? And if I wasn't suppose to kill them, then wouldn't that make my battery life worse because of all the things running in the background?

TIA

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
You shouldn't use a task killer in any version of android from Froyo on, froyo handles its memory management extremely well when left alone, using a task killer could result in apps constantly opening and closing in the back ground, which would use a lot of battery .

Texted while driving
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] || Acer ||:
Alright. I got rid of my task killers. Is ending services fine though? And what about the task manager that the phone provides? (I'm guessing the second one is a no?)

And what other precautions should I take for battery (other than having low brightness, of course)

Sent from my Epic 4G
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
Only use the one built into the touchwiz framework if you have an app running out of control hogging resources.

If you're looking to improve battery, I strongly suggest Juicedefender with ultimatejuice, I have almost tripled my battery since I started using them.

I use the Advanced Task Killer for Froyo. Several apps I have like the Weather Channel and stock browser lower my available memory to a minute amount of what it was at boot up and do not reload if killed.

BONSAI 4 and loving it!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linuxmotion:
The amount of memory available on your phone is supposed to become low. Apps are stored in memory when not being used. This does not take battery and allows the program to start in a faster fashion then otherwise.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevesprivateaccount:
I'm sorry guys, but the information given in response here is really dangerous. Yes Froyo, and all versions of Android have built in memory management. HOWEVER, it is the job of the application developer to use the proper calls and closes to make sure the application isn't holding onto resources when in a background state. This is NOT always the case, and is constantly overlooked on all OS platforms, especially with how fast application development is happening on mobile platforms.

YMMV, when and if you should be using task killers.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
No it's not. There is only 337MB of RAM available of which about 150 is used by system. If I keep loading apps that stay in memory when not being used I will have no resources or memory available for additional web pages or other apps. Why should the Weather Channel app load 50 MB of memory and stay there if I use it twice a week? When an app is closed I want it out of RAM. I can wait the 50 milliseconds to reload if I want to use it again.

BONSAI 4 and loving it!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeerChameleon:
Here we go again another argument of task manager for android :rolleyes:

For me i use advanced task manager to kill some apps to speed up my phone a little and also use it to switch between programs that are already open where as if you try reopening some programs the restart,

I also ignore apps that i need to open and stay open like beuatiful widgets, word games to get more reliable notifications and widget locker.

I freeze with titanium some services such as drm and sns...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattallica76:
Free RAM is wasted RAM. Unless your trying to track down rogue processes, task killers are totally unnecessary.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bjhill2112:
What that article hints at but doesn't exactly explain is that due to how the Dalvik JIT works, killing those apps that aren't actively consuming CPU will cause worse performance over the long run. The JIT has to spin up everytime the app is loaded - if it is already in memory then it's already optomized.

At least that's my understanding! I could be totally talking out my arse :D

EDIT:

Here is its straight from the Dalvik lead dev.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Well don't know about performance but yesterday killing apps with ATK Froyo especially the browser, I came home with 62% battery left. Today had about the same use but disabled ATK and never used it and came home with 31% battery left. ATK is doing something for my battery and will give up apps loading quickly for battery life any day.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Sinistertensai:

[EVO 4G Android Development] 1eddie5:
Great Rom! Super Speedy! Would love it more if it were overclocked. What other kernel can we use?

1. I have tried latest netarchy universal and kinda works but gets a blurry line in the middle of the screen when switching screens. It also does not let the touch buttons work.

2.I tried Kings kernel and the only thing wrong with it is the touch buttons dont work.

What other kernels do you recommend me trying? What evo shift kernels should I try?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sinistertensai:
The kernel posted in the op and in the thread. (The newest) works best and will improve a lot of things. E.g. battery screen brightness soft key glitch and a faster experience.

Also no need to over clock ;) it's all about the packets.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 1eddie5:
Flashed the OC Kernel you told me. The rom is unbelievely fast and yet stable. I did not want to admit it but your rom is way better than cyanogens. I only have one problem does your rom have the 3g hack? And 4g hack? When i dial ##data# nothing happens.

Here is the link to the hack im trying to do.

[EVO 4G Android Development] 1eddie5:
Thanks. I did a speed test on 3g and i got 1.42mbps at 3:15 pm so i believe the 3g hack is already integrated in the rom. I just really need to know/check if i have the 4g hack because i barely get signal at my house and doing the 4g hack betters my signal.
