So my atrix I have now won't read a memory card, it just stopped?!?! But anyway att is covering it threw warranty and when the new phone gets here in a couple of days can I or will I be able to keep my widgets/apps that I have already bought? I'f I can how do I transfer them over to the new one I get in the mail?
[XPERIA X10 General] dforesi:
I was wondering if anyone is aware if the FPS will be capped at 32 in the official 2.3.3 or if the limit will be lifted? Does the arc have a cap?
[XPERIA X10 General] brickloader:
Seems that we'll have to wait and see, but I sure hope not.
[XPERIA X10 General] Candy[MAN]:
I have seen some videos running quadrant tests and it's FPS are higher than our 30 cap so I hope they removed the cap or at least raise it to 60FPS.
[XPERIA X10 General] Fake.Guy:
Really?

On Gingerbread is it only capable 32fps ??? But somebody know if zoom feature run in this version? 'cuz in Cyanogem 2.2 I don't have zoom :(
[XPERIA X10 General] away:
not gingerbread itself, he means our phone, the play runs at 60fps
[XPERIA X10 General] letterman12:
im not totalyy sure its still pretty awesome that the x10 is getting ginger bread tho thats a huge ste foward
[XPERIA X10 General] egyptshun:
I may be wrong here but i think we have a cap cuz our UXP, things like the background in settings,calc, etc. it lowers performance and little things like that cause us to be capped so even if we were at 60 it doesnt constantly lag trying to keep up :$ just my opinion...
[XPERIA X10 General] mrvirr3:
totally wrong i use zkernel and i have 49-56 fps on my phone :P

If there's fps cap just wait for z he will uncapp it (i hope)
[XPERIA X10 General] Willey1986:
Yep, with zkernel the 32fps crap is gone, and the X10 feels much more responsive than with the stock kernel. Oh and with zkernel the battery lasts much longer too. So all this 32fps cap does is making the phone more laggy and ****ty than other comparable devices like the desire o galaxy s1.
[XPERIA X10 General] doomed151:
Even if we use a kernel with uncapped FPS, we only get up to 56-58 FPS. Never reaching 60 FPS, this is simply the limit of the LCD. SE capped it to 32 FPS so that no damage would be done to the LCD (not like there's any).

Just as a reminder, the X10 uses old hardware.
[XPERIA X10 General] Flo95:
They posted all changes, removed 32fps cap was never one of them.

Not bad for someone whose flight instructor said he was unremarkable and wouldn't amount to anything huh?

Seriously though, it wasn't his efficiency in combat that make him so unique but the almost superhuman way in which he went about living his life. For example, after losing his lower leg in battle he was told that he faced a six month stint in hospital and would never fly again. Six weeks later he had fashioned himself a prosthesis, checked himself out and pitched up at his airfield asking for a plane to fly.

After the war he went on to complete some 1st ascents (mountaineering), and competed in the Olympics (Skiiing) against able bodied competitors. The list of feats is nearly endless. This man grabbed life by the balls and squeezed hard!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lord sargent:
I am attempting to update my mother's stock captivate to AT&T 2.2 with kies mini, but I can't get past the download mode part. I installed the usb drivers, powered the phone off. I held both volume buttons, plugged in the usb, and for 25 minutes it has sat on the "downloading" screen. What am I missing?

Elliot
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beny The Kid:
You shouldn't need to put the phone in download mode for kies. Just turn the phone on. Make sure usb debugging is off and then under wireless and networks set your usb connection to kies. Then open up kies on the computer. Plug the phone into the computer and wait for kies to find it. When the phone appears in the kies sidebar you should then be able to click on it and select update firmware. If it doesn't do out for you, download the full version of kies and under the tools menu there should be an option to reinstall drivers. Then try it again the same way I described above.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miami_Son:
Information overload it sounds like. You have confused the method of using Odin to go back to stock with the method for updating via Kies Mini. As said above, just make sure you install the USB drivers, then connect to the PC with Kies Mini running and wait for it to recognize the phone. Once that happens, follow the screen prompts to update to 2.2.

[Nexus S General] lgrangeia:
Hi,

I know this has been requested before for a bunch of other devices and in other forums, but the request was never answered, mainly because other devices had other holes to plug...

basically, my request is to mod the clockwork recovery image in order to protect it with a password. Why, you ask? Simple. The Nexus S has a good protected bootloader (when "oem locked" -- which you can lock while mantaining a custom recovery and/or rooted ROM). When someone steals my rooted phone, the only way to break in is:

- Use the phone normally - PATCHED - I use a pattern lock code;

- Use ADB on the phone via USB access the phone - PATCHED - I disabled usb debugging on the system image;

- Use the bootloader to reflash a new system/recovery image - PATCHED - I "oem locked" the phone so the phone does not accept unsigned images, and also a "fastboot oem unlock" wipes the phone, protecting my private data;

- Boot into recovery - NOT PATCHED - There is no way to password protect a recovery image, as of now.

So, can anyone please attempt this? I'm thinking of trying it myself, but I have very little experience developing for android, and I don't know the source code.

My suggestion is to create a customizable password (maybe a simple 4 to 6 digit PIN code input via the volume keys) on first boot of the recovery image. Then, in subsequent boots, ask for the code before turning on ADB and before giving access to the other recovery options.

If you forget the code, well... you still can reflash a new recovery via the system image. Also you can still fully wipe the phone, so you'll never brick it or anything.

What you guys think? I personally am very sad with this situation. When you root you basically lose all physical security with regards to the data on your phone, I think we can do better.
[Nexus S General] irishrally:
Sounds like a good idea.

How do you do this?

EDIT: This is how ... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=931865&highlight=oem+lock
[Nexus S General] bubbahump:
I'll second this request. It will save me the pain of doing the following:

To secure my phone between "maintenance" events, I flash back the stock recovery image while I'm not actively performing "maintenance". Do this via adb while the phone is booted with:

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

You'll obviously need to put a copy of the stock recovery on your sdcard, along with a copy of clockwork for when you need to do some "maintenance". Note that the flash_image binary isn't present in all ROMs. I know CM7 has it, and in the early days I copied one over from my old Nexus One ROM.

Then turn off USB debugging, OEM lock and password protect your phone.
[Nexus S General] lgrangeia:
And you also need one more thing: To be running a rooted ROM. I might want to be running a totally stock rom and use a custom recovery, in order to take advantage of nandroid backup/restore.

If you are running a stock system rom, you cannot reflash recovery from system.

Does anyone know where's the best place to reach the main dev of clockwork mod? is it koush? I might try to tweet him directly to this thread.
[Nexus S General] dinan:
I've been thinking about the security of these phones lately as well and it seems there's a lot of holes that a tech-savvy thief could utilize on Android phones... especially one that has custom ROMs.

This suggestion sounds pretty good, but I might be a bit confused. Do you use a terminal emulator on the phone to type in that command to flash between clockwork and stock recovery? Also, if you do a fastboot oem lock when you have a custom ROM, do you have to wipe the whole phone again when you want to fastboot oem unlock to put on another ROM?
[Nexus S General] lgrangeia:
Dinan, I'm not 100% sure, but I think the bootloader lock/unlock only prevents you from flashing from the bootloader stage. So you can reflash a custom recovery from the system rom while "oem locked", but you cannot do that from the bootloader.

I thought a bit about this, and pluging this hole in the recovery will make the Nexus S very well protected against physical security attacks (especially since it doesn't even have a SD card slot).
[Nexus S General] dinan:
So if I had flashed CM7, then reflashed the stock bootloader and did fastboot oem lock, in order to nandroid or flash a new ROM I would have to first flash clockwork recovery back? If that's the case, would I have to flash it through the terminal from the device or can it be done through adb (or ROM manager)?
[Nexus S General] lgrangeia:
CM7 does not flash your bootloader. Maybe you meant recovery?

you can have an "oem locked" handset and still flash your recovery (or your system) image via both recovery or system, if you have any of those customized/rooted.

What "oem lock" means is that you cannot flash directly from the bootloader (fastboot flash), thats all.

PS: I really have no idea why this was moved to the general forum... this is a development request thread.
[Nexus S General] mightyiam:
In short, what we need is a password protected bootloader which will require password for booting into fastboot or download mode or recovery.
[Nexus S General] Rem3Dy:
Use Cerberus. Track, remote wipe, take photo, etc. It is embedded into /system and can't be removed with wipe data factory reset. Its all the security you need.
[Nexus S General] Si_NZ:
Here's a simple workaround for you, althought less convenient. Once you've made a nandroid backup, move it off your phone. Archive the image with a password and file name encryption on a computer. Extract the image from the archive when you want to restore it, then copy the extracted image to the phone to perform restore.

You can extract flash_image from the ROM Manager app. Unzip the apk file and you'll find it in there. Any rooted ROM can then have this file moved into /system/bin for example.

The OP is talking about the security issue, not about the data surviving oem unlock. At the moment, anyone who gets the phone can go into CWM, mount the internal storage, get the image off the phone and extract data from it. The OP is concerned about this security hole.
[Nexus S General] mightyiam:
Nice. It turns out from little research that both Cerberus and "Theft Aware" have /system support. Call it "root" support if you will.

Now, Theft Aware is far more advanced in this regard in that it also hides the app as a system app with a custom name that you choose. Note that it requires some complexity if you want to uninstall (delete some files manually and stuff).

Theft Aware is also more polished and it seems more effort has been put into the 2.0 version.

Cerberus is more simpler and it feels I can trust them.
[Nexus S General] Rem3Dy:
So theft aware is a flashable zip that you flash from recovery?
[Nexus S General] mightyiam:
It has a "setup app" which you install which in turn installs the actual app. If you have writable /system it can install the app there or if you have ram FS then it can install using what you said.

Just read about the Bootloops and recoveries being lost for no reason off AOSP roms. What is everyone's opinion on this situation?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blakeboys:
I've had boot loops in both aosp and sense roms. Usually they correct themselves with a reflash. I saw someone post earlier that their nandroid backups where gone but not really, they just werent showing up in recovery. I dont see how a rom could cause a deletion of a nandroid on your sd card. I think when an issue like this arises it's probably because some did something they werent suppose to. You having problems with an aosp rom? Keep in mind I dont use aosp roms any longer, I like the convenience of sense (prl/pri update, dial a contact, rarely a 4g or gps issue)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcusva79:

It seems that the mods that the CM team has done allow us to work around the fact that HTC hasn't given us new drivers & libs since 2.1 and we are still on a 2.6.29 kernel. So, that's why you see new CM ROMs, but not AOSP.
