Thats how i fixed it. I ended up using the computer to remove the app and used setcpu. I normally dont care about the over clocking ability but the battery life sucks on the virus Rom. The roms great just crappy battery life. Thankfully that worked we will see if by underclocking it helps if not ill have to look for a different Rom. Thanks for your help man.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] sahilkhurana:
Guys,

Before I raise some expectations, let me clarify that I am not an expert developer.

I was trying to compile the kernel for SGA and was using the source from http://opensource.samsung.com/ ( Samsung open source portal )

I had used the instructions given in the README and was using g++ from http://www.codesourcery.com/sgpp/lite/arm/portal/release1592

When I try to compile the kernel ( stock settings ), it dumps out zImage of around 3Mb.

When I try to flash it using SGS kernel flasher (https://market.android.com/details?id=neldar.sgs.kernel.flasher&feature=search_result) , it says file too big.

Any ideas where I might be going wrong.

Any help would be appreciated
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] peeter123:
Does the sgs flasher even work with the ace?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] sahilkhurana:
The phones mentioned under supported were Samsung phones like Galaxy S. Captivate, Fascinate.

That is why, I thought I will give it a try. I have posted a query on SGS flasher thread and will get a reply soon.

Anyways,

Is there a way to know what is the limit on size of zImage supported by the device?

What are the other alternatives available for flashing this kernel ? Odin ?

Any way to check the sanity of this compiled kernel ( emulator :confused: )

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] tj_style:
you can't flash zImage for galaxy ace with SGS kernel flasher.

the step that you must to do is:

-dump boot.img from phone or grab from official firmware .tar.md5.

-unpack the boot.img

-replace the zImage (kernel) and keep the ramdisk

-repack boot.img

-make tar.md5

-flash with odin

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] butchconner:
Folks,

I don't claim to be an expert on the microiSD card, but there are some things

that need to be said -- and if I don't get it all or get it right then other folks

need to jump in.

1. Care always need to be taken putting your microSD card in and out. Not

only is it small and fragile, but the slot is small as well. You sometimes may

have to use your fingernail or something else thin to ease it far enough in

against the spring to get it to "click" into place. Same thing in reverse for

removal.

2. YOU CANNOT JUST PLUG AND UNPLUG THE FULL SIZE USB STUFF IN ANDROID.

They are not "Plug and Play" like Windows. I don't know the final word, but on

the full size USB port -- when I put in a USB key -- I always shut down, plug it in,

then reboot.

The miniUSB you use to your PC is a little more flexible, but that's another

post for another time.

3. You can use the microSD for recovery, but you have to edit the recovery

command file to point to /SDCARD2. When you boot standard recovery, Android

checks the internal memory for a recovery/command and update.zip presence.

If it does not find them, the it looks for a microSD external card and if it finds it

then it checks for recovery/command and update.zip file there.

4. Different ROMS have different capabilities with regard to finding and using the

USB ports. You'll have to research that -- or maybe someone will fill in that

blank here.

I hope this helps. I know this is not all the info on /SDCARD2 -- but I hope it

get the discussion going to help those having problems.

Rev
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K J Rad:
Good Topic! May want to add mention that /SDCARD2 does not normally mount to your PC when the tablet is connected for file transfers (I've seen that question 3 or 4 times in the past few days). There are some apps that allow it but I've run into some serious issues with a couple of them up to and including corruption of the internal memory.

#2 - the large USB port... I'm not an expert on this either but I do have two flash drives that will not mount if they're inserted with the tablet off. They do work fine when inserted with it on. So there is at least some level of auto-detect and mount going on I'm just not sure to what degree. It is on the list for further study. I would definitely err on the side of caution on this one with regards to anything containing important data.

#3 could be expanded to include or link to a how to on making your own recovery/utility MicroSD (another thread?). This could really save some folks some time and anguish.

If SDCARD2 does not mount to your PC, how do you get the PC to recognize it so that you can store media files from your PC? Thanks!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snarful:
If I understand your question correctly, you must get a standard sd holder for your micro sd (usually comes with the micro, but not always), and then you need a card reader with a usb plug to go into your computer.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] butchconner:
snarful,

Yes. In my case an adapter came with the microSD card and I have a card reader

on my PC -- so I'm good to go.

But if you are going to do much with the cards, it really helps and speeds things up.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaccx:

[Desire General] biloxiboi:
Hello... ever since rooting and loading a ROM on my Cellular South CDMA Desire (BravoC), I have noticed a huge negative impact on my signal strength. Signal bounces between 3G and 1X, and a lot of times I have no signal. It is definitely not what it used to be pre-root.

My friend has the same exact phone as me. Cellular South finally rolled out Android 2.2 a couple of weeks ago. He is not experiencing any signal degradation. My baseband version is 2.05.10.08.11, his is 2.15.00.02.17.

I'm wondering if anyone knows where I can get this newer radio from?

[Xoom General] photobillyli:
Does anyone notice that if you touch on the screen for more than around 20 seconds at the exact same spot, the touch will be suddenly lost. You have to re touch the screen to get back the response.

You can download a multi touch testing app and try and you will know what I am talking about.

The problem is also found on ATRIX......(please refer to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1000583)

I am now quite angry and wanna MOTO to have it fixed as soon as possible.
[Xoom General] Digital Man:
Does this manifest in any way in real-world use? I haven't noticed any touch screen problems.

There is a long list of things that people would like Motorola and/or google to fix right away: SD card, Video playback, Forced Closes to name a few.

But if a problem isn't noticed in every-day use, its not going to be much of a priority.
[Xoom General] Xezuka:
It'd seem more like something built in than just a bug that popped up.

At least as a developer, that's where I'd put my two cents. There's a reason for it -- although I guess I could see it being an issue if there were an app that made you hold your fingers still for 20+ sec, followed by movements on the screen... but I don't know.
[Xoom General] snarful:
It does, in fact, manifest itself in real-world use; when I hold the device with my left hand in the middle--as is usually the case--my thumb often presses against the black bar at the bottom (the one that has the time, navigation symbols, etc). After a few seconds, the screen fails to respond to touch; it does recover after a while, but until I read the op, I never realized the cause, i.e. I was removing my thumb from the bar. I was thinking of returning it, because I thought it was experiencing random freezes.
[Xoom General] alias_neo:
I would imagine this is a feature, whether in the hardware or implemented in the software. It's a pain in the arse from the device's perspective to be continuously polling a screen touch for 20 seconds or more.

I'm a developer too and unless it happens with _any_ continuous touch (moving or still) it's a feature not a bug.

However, if you were to touch and move for 20+ seconds then it stops responding, this is a bug, depends where and when (whether always or just in certain apps) it happens.
[Xoom General] orangedude654:
So, like we said before, no real-word manifestation.
[Xoom General] Digital Man:
I haven't been able to replicate this on my XOOM. Though, if the problem occurs on your XOOM as you describe, I can understand why that would be annoying. Maybe the problem isn't present on all devices.
[Xoom General] wang1404:
I did try a multitouch testing apply. I had 8 of my fingers for more than just 20 seconds. Didn't experience a thing until I put my ninth one down. On other test app, though, it said xoom can support up to ten.
[Xoom General] Digital Man:
OK think I figured this out. I can replicate what you are saying. But, the whole screen doesn't lose touch sensitivity, only the menu bar. I suspect this is intentional, and part of honeycomb and not a flaw in the touchscreen hardware.

It just means that you have to remove one fingure from the menu bar before you can use it again. I can't see this causing any problem whatsoever in day to day use. Just an interesting quirk.
[Xoom General] alias_neo:
Don't forget , that the bar is part of the screen just like any other, if you're holding that in an app that doesn't support multitouch in such a way, it wont work.

One thing that always bugged me on my Android devices is that I can't drag the curtain (notification drop down) half way, keep hold of it and tap something inside then let go. But that's just the way it works.
[Xoom General] Digital Man:
Actually you are partially right. Its the honeycomb interface as a whole that becomes unresponisve, not the screen. For example if am at the home-screen and I touch the menu bar for more than 20 sec and hold my finger there, I can't open the browser.

BUT

If the browser is already open, and I hold down on the menu bar, the rest of the menu bar won't respond, but links in the browser work fine. So it's not the touchsreen that becomes unresponsive, its the Honeycomb interface.

Edit: after experimenting with different apps, it looks like my own observation isn't completely consistent. Some apps like the browser continue to respond. Others like Google books lock up. Not sure what to make of it all. But there are definitely cases where only the menu bar freezes and the app continues to respond.
[Xoom General] snarful:
Yeah, now that I know what causes this quirk to manifest, I'll just have to be careful not to rest my thumb on the bar. I must find some way to hold it firmly with my left hand; maybe some kind of suction device attached to the back.
[Xoom General] Digital Man:
Patient: "Doctor it hurts when I bend over."

Doctor: "Well then don't bend over!"

LOL Pretty much a universal soltion. But I agree just a quirk, doesn't seem to be a big deal, just don't hold it like that.
[Xoom General] snarful:
LOL, right!
[Xoom General] photobillyli:
When you play games you can easily observe this!!

For example you play car racing, you have to touch the "accelerating button" for the whole time. It will suddenly lose response and all the other cars pass me.

Another example is the mini squadron, you have to keep touching the "fire button" to fire. But after touching for 20 seconds, it losses response again.

It is so annoying when playing games. However, except this, other daily uses will not observe this problem.

AND my XOOM is the recent WIFI only version. Maybe only this version has the problem?

AND I am talking about keep touching on the same position on the screen. You dont have to use two fingers to have the problem.

I have the 4G/Wifi Xoom fully stock,

I had a similar issue yesterday, I bought one of those styluses for ipad, which do work for OG Droid and for the Xoom, had a drawing app open, set the pad down with the stylus on top, it did 2 things it start to constantly draw from tip to clip.

then I picked up the stylus, now everything seemed to be stuck to a center point every touch drew a center line to the single point for about 2 minutes, I put it down, had wouldnt respond to more pressing, then picked it up it finally returned to normal.

although I just topped putting the stylus on it while its on, and havent had the issue, but I have only played angry birds, and fruit ninja.
[Xoom General] Digital Man:
Wow. Not good.

One of the XOOM's biggest selling points is HD Video, and it doesn't do that well.

The other is 3D gaming. And now we're finding out the control is messed up! Seriously!

And to think I was looking forward to gaming on this thing while waiting 3 hours for my damn videos to finish encoding. What next.

I'm starting to have doubts about the XOOM again. Video and 3D gaming was supposed to be what the Tegra 2 was all about. Would like more feedback about how real this problem is, and whether games are really unplayable - is this a quirk or a serious flaw? Will have to try some gaming tomorrow. Would help if we could list games that are affected and to what degree. Maybe we can get some consensus on whether this problem is meaningful or not.

Games reported to be affected so far:

1. Car racing (which one?)

2. Mini Squadron

3. Mario Cart

[Xoom General] Digital Man:
Came across a thread in the Atrix forum on XDA. They are also experiencing the touch loss problem on the Atrix and are having problems with games. One member posted an explanation that he found on the Motrola forums:

"The 30 second threshold is actually something built in to aid in detection of moisture on the screen and normalize the touch plane (like shaking an Etch A Sketch). The algorithm is this case assumes a finger that is on one spot for an extended period of time is actually a drop of water. If the finger is removed from the screen, touch should become usable again in a second or two in that spot. The touch driver would then detect essentially a "negative touch" in the area where the finger was removed and do a screen calibration (shake the Etch A Sketch again). We are looking into what can be done to increase this time threshold for you gamers and still provide a good water immunity experience. The tradeoff would be if your phone screen gets wet (rain or mist), the touch on the screen would become basically unusable. Stay tuned to this thread for updates."

So I guess if this problem is fixed by Motorola we won't be able to shower with our XOOMs anymore. Damn!

Here is the original thread from XDA. You can read about how it affects gaming for them. It will probably cause similar problems on the XOOM.

I'm using my phone as a GPS with iGO 8 sometimes on my motorcycle. I keep it in my pocket and listen to commands with a headset. But being in my pocket it easly touches the screen and messes up the GPS.

Is there any simple app to toggle disable/enable touchscreen? I want to launch it with HButton with a long press on Send key.

So it should be like a "lock screen" but without any clock, power off, wallpaper, etc. Just to disable screen sensitivity.

Is there any app like this?
