The SD Tools benchmark doesn't show much improvement on the first run, the second run will return much better results. Make sure to run it at least twice before you assume it did not stick.
[Captivate Android Development] bballer182:
I have come to the conclusion that SDTools is not a good app to benchmark with. Read through the entire thread that this script came from and there was a little discussion in exists onix thread around page 357 or so. The "S" in front of the 77 fixed it for me.

Yes i just flashed it, best results for me are with the 2048 and 3072 sizes.

So one of the things that keeps some of us from overclocking to 1.4 Ghz + is the external SD card speed... anybody have better stability overclocking with this fix??

Edit: ahh, just realized this is for internel SD card, nm

Looks cool I emailed dev he said it should be great on tegra 2. I haven't dl it because I don't have 10 to spare right now incase its not 100% worth it but anyone who wants to or has tried it let me know thnnks

So how do you get NDS on the Motorola Atrix?

And how would I get Pokemon Black/White ENGLISH roms to play on it?

thats why i have a 3DS and a acekard 2i so i can play free ds games. XD later on maybe i can play free 3ds games but for now ill buy my 3ds games. XDD
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] W3BSurfer:
I have my ways of acquiring this app and thank god I didnt buy it. It is VERY SLOW. Im guessing it hasnt been optimized yet for dual core. I think mine was running on 5fps. I tried playing Advance Wars: Days of Ruin.....very very slow. I didnt bother trying other games since it was a major turn off.

Ill support once the bugs are sorted out.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] smrutled:
Yeah its still slow with the current update 1.1.2. I just cant wait till i can play super scribblenauts at a decent speed then I will be fine. Currently it is playable but it slow but playable if you just want to spawn stuff.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I started discouraging its use on TNT Lite after the TNT Lite 5 fiasco, but I didn't realize that my opinions carried so much weight. So I want to set the record clear for everyone.

First off, if the developer / modder requires clockworkmod for their ROM, then that's the tool you need to use. I've had more than a few PM's on this question, but the answer is simple. Use what the developer asks you to use -- but also understand the risks. I would guess that most of the devs here mod with clockworkmod in mind.

For my own two active mods (TNT Lite 4 and gADAM) -- for the gADAM, it requires clockworkmod to install, right now. The reason why is because you HAVE to do a data wipe post-install, which standard recovery does not have. I have this written clearly in the instructions. As for TNT Lite, I discourage it for flashing, but I have instructions for clockworkmod users regardless. gADAM 1.3.0+ and TNT Lite 4.3.0+ have something called "Recovery Pack" built into them. This allows the user to toggle between clockworkmod and standard recovery.

Flashing is my concern, btw. For nandroid backups, data wipes and SD repartitions, the cwm tool is an absolute must. And if you are flashing between 1.1-based mods, clockworkmod should still be a low risk. HOWEVER, if Viewsonic releases a 1.2-based mod with a new bootloader, then cwm becomes a much higher risk. My point with discouraging clockworkmod for flashing on TNT Lite is just to get people used to the idea that cwm has caveats that might become a problem, later on.

When that new firmware is released, we will pick it apart and tell everyone the results of what we find. Hopefully my concerns are for nothing and the new firmware will be safe for clockworkmod users.

Also, for reference: I've been throwing around the term "1.1-based ROM" for about 2 weeks, now. Viewsonic's stock firmware has come in three flavors, so far: 1.0.1 and 1.1, which seem to be on the same dev branch and compatible (from a clockworkmod standpoint). Most, if not all, of the mods here are 1.1-based. 1.2 is a new dev branch that was introduced with build 3991, which was never officially released. This build has a bootloader that, if not flashed with standard recovery, will soft-brick your device. This is the dev branch that concerns me and that we should be watching out for, when that new firmware is released. As I mentioned, we will test it when the time comes.
[G Tablet General] absorbers:
when the time comes...

Somewhat quicker.

Thanks for detailed explanations!
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Quicker is not always better, imo. If users here use cwm, they should understand the risks. I would argue that anyone using a mod here should also understand how to install and use nvflash - devices like the Advent VEGA, Notion Ink Adam and even Viewsonic's own Viewpad10s have nvflash-only firmware updates. I personally find it to be a critical tool for anyone modding their device.
[G Tablet General] severusx:
Thanks for the explanation. As a n00b (Wooter) to all of this, I have to say that I have used the built in bootloader to flash both Vegan 5.1.1 and TNT Lite 4.4 without any issues. I did not install CWM based on your previous warnings about it and so far I haven't had any issues. I needed to do a factory data reset after changing ROMs to fix some FC issues, but so far I haven't seen a need to repartition the SD card or any other features that CWM has.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
And you have cwm ready for use, with TNT Lite 4.4.0 - it's in the Recovery Pack. So, if you find the need to do an SD repartition later, it's there for you to use. I find it to be a good balance and I toggle back and forth a lot. Actually, for day-to-day I leave it on clockworkmod and then flip it to standard if I plan to flash.
[G Tablet General] pr0cs:
There have been some discussions in the partition thread regarding the 'fix permissions' portion of CWM making the repartition suggestion obsolete. I don't have access to standard recovery to check if that option is in there too but the permissions thing may also be a feature of CWM that will be difficult to let go.
[G Tablet General] brown14you:
First, thanks for your work here. You guys rock! I am using TnT Lite 4.4, where do I locate the recovery toggle? Is it an app?
[G Tablet General] jazzruby:
I wanna say Thanks for the 'Recovery Pack', I actually didn't find it until after I had

gone over the scripts in TnT Lite 4.4 and copied all the files to SDCard.

I then flashed back to Stock 3855 and gave Terminal Emulator SU, mounted system rw and copied them back in.

I ran the 'cwmrecovery.sh' and booted into ClockWorkMod and successfully did a backup (and later a restore).

I ran the 'fixrecovery.sh' and booted into Standard recovery and got the downloading animation and it proceeded to a normal startup (no exclamation!).

Is this normal?

I think there was an update.zip @ root but no command file.

Thanks again for all your work, looking forward to more modding.

Peace!
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
It's a set of scripts - just read my first post, and the Recovery Pack reference link, at the bottom.

If memory serves, you should get the "!" and then a reboot. But it might not do anything if there's no command file (just hang there for a moment, and then reboot).
[G Tablet General] brown14you:
Thanks. Got it!
[G Tablet General] jazzruby:
Thanks, I just booted again to recovery, no command or update.zip and same thing.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
To verify 100% that it's working, you might want to run an update.zip. ie. use the Recovery Pack standalone, it will just overwrite what's already there. Always good to know before you actually need it. :)
[G Tablet General] jazzruby:
I'm not so sure I'd feel 100% just flashing the 'Recovery Pack'.

I was getting ready to flash Pershoot's Kernel so I think first I'll flash 3588 with stock recovery and be sure all's good.

Then I'll flash the RP and boot into ClockWorkMod and Restore 4.4 from backup.

Thanks for the Heads Up!
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Pershoot's kernel may not work with standard recovery, just a heads up. But you can certainly give it a go.....
[G Tablet General] jazzruby:
Pershoot's kernel is nested in a subfolder and I need/want to wipe first.

I just flashed 3588 with Stock recovery and all's good.

I got root and flashed 'RP' and CWM restored my backup.

I ran TE 'fixrecovery.sh', rebooted into Stock recovery and I don't see the (!).

Aside from the downloading animation it seems like a normal boot.

This was with no update.zip @ root or command file in recovery subfolder.

So I guess it's safe to say that no (!) is nothing to worry about.

Just to be sure I dropped an update.zip @ root and same results.

Currently I have:

Firmware 2.2.1

Baseband: S:i500.04 V.EB01

Kernel: 2.6.32.9

What is the latest, stable ROM out there for Froyo (or if exists, Gingerbread)?

Is overclocking available yet? My phone is rooted already.

If I wanted to revert back to the current ROM I have now, how do I properly back up the entire ROM, Apps, SMS, settings, etc prior to upgrading?

Thanks

http://www.informationweek.com/news/windows/microsoft_news/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=229400796

Screen shots depicting features that may be part of the next version of Windows have leaked onto the Web and show that the new operating system may borrow some features from other Microsoft products, such as Office.

The screen shots, which were posted over the weekend by Neowin and other tech blogs, reveal that the main user interface for Windows 8, at least in its current build, uses an Office-style ribbon that gives users one-click access to a number of features and commands, such as "Share," "View," and "Copy To Folder."

IBM Chairman Emeritus Irving Wladawsky-Berger talks about cloud as the next evolution in computing, saying that it's a response to end-user frustration with complexity.

Pundits are suggesting the design may reflect Microsoft's desire to make Windows 8 a tablet-friendly OS that can compete with Apple's iPad and Google's Android. Earlier this year, Microsoft confirmed that it would build a version of Windows 8 for ARM chips, which have become the processor of choice for most tablet makers due to their light footprint and low power requirements.

Microsoft has not commented on the authenticity of the screen shots. Reaction to the purported redesign was mixed.

To exploit the natural synergy of smartphones and tablets with the cloud, first nail down solid mobile and cloud strategies.

Cloud and Mobile Computing: Better Together

"Looks too messy, and needs to be made smaller and fit more," wrote Neowin reader "Ely", in the blog's comments section. "If they make it smaller, and fine tune it then it will be fine. If not, hopefully you can turn it off," the reader said.

Another reader, "Joshie", said the changes are appealing: "Office with ribbon on auto-hide is one of the most pleasant software UIs I've ever come across, and I think it's a great way to bring menus and toolbars together in an ultimately space-saving style."

Microsoft has not provided a firm release date for Windows 8, and estimates by market watchers range from late 2011 to the 2012 back-to-school season. Most observers agree, however, that the company needs to ship a tablet-capable OS as soon as possible before it falls too far behind Apple and Google in one of the tech sector's hottest markets.

Even longtime Microsoft partner Hewlett-Packard, apparently frustrated by Redmond's failure to produce a tablet OS, recently said it planned to build slates around its own WebOS, which it gained through its acquisition of Palm, instead of Windows.

Microsoft shares were up .37%, to $25.58, in early trading Monday.
[Galaxy Tab General] {Diemex}:
So I had this idea for a longer time now.

I'd like to access the files on my galaxy tab through for example my iPod. Therefore I'd like to create a wifi hotspot that just simply gives access to these files.

Is this possible?

It should be possible if I share my internet connection with the iPod through a mobile hotspot.

But I'd like to save my mobile data plan.

The other way round: iPod -> tab probably wont work because of iOs's limitations right?

Is this possible at all? Or can't the tab create a network structure that would allow this.

It should, shouldn't it? It can share the mobile data, so it should be able to share files?
[Galaxy Tab General] 00r101:
DLNA

If you change a file name to a DLNA supported extension than you can probably transfer from one device to another. Then when on the other device just change the extension back.
[Galaxy Tab General] {Diemex}:
Okay I have no idea what Dlna is, I just know its something with servers.
[Galaxy Tab General] amburator:
I believe you are looking for an app called: WiFi File Explorer. With free version you can download files from Tab, with full version you can also upload files to it.
[Galaxy Tab General] {Diemex}:
I think I wasnt precise enough. I want the tab to be the wifi hotspot.

When I'm out in the dessert, there's no wifi hotspot in sight, I still wanna be able to access the files on my tab.

Wifi explorer is working with a hotspot, I just can't seem to download files with free version.
[Galaxy Tab General] AlexTheStampede:
Digital living network alliance. Unless you want to share multimedia files, it's useless for you. The tab has a client / server app installed, AllShare.

A little question : why not just use the hotspot feature? I doubt that in the desert you'd be able to connect to the network and spend money accidentally.

That aside, I'd use FTPServer on the tab to share the files, and whatever ftp client you want to access them.

Still there's the issue on how to connect everything...

Sharing from the iPod would work the same way, with the limitation that the files to share need to be in the server folder.
[Galaxy Tab General] {Diemex}:
Okay I've got ftpserver installed, but I've got no idea what to enter into the blanked out fields.

Btw. How can I make a mobile accesspoint, when I haven't got a 3g connection?

That option is just greyed out when I haven't got mobile data!
[Galaxy Tab General] AlexTheStampede:
Really? Well, that's unexpected. About the settings, just fill them as you wish. But remember what you used, don't just input random stuff: that data needs to be input into the client as well.
[Galaxy Tab General] {Diemex}:
So I entered the stuff into ftpserver, started the server.

I can't access it through a webserver neither with my desktop nor the iPod touch.

I just get some error that its not availible.

Ftpserver has in its logs then, that it blocked because the standard directory doesn't exist on those devices.

If I change the directory to "/" it stills doesn't work on the PC.
[Galaxy Tab General] AlexTheStampede:
Nope, you are doing it wrong : what you need to connect is an ftp client, try Cyberduck on Windows.

Also, while I don't think it would be an issue, try to set the server on /sdcard no need to get access to the whole system ( if that even works)

An ftp client for the iPod... hard to tell, looks like all of them aren't free.
[Galaxy Tab General] rangercaptain:
I just send files back and forth with bluetooth. No 3g connection required.
[Galaxy Tab General] {Diemex}:
Sadly I don't have a Bluetooth USB stick and Joseph (wtf fail autocorrect: iOs) doesn't allow filetransfair for Bluetooth.
[Galaxy Tab General] AlexTheStampede:
That's not entirely true, I forgot the name, but on Cydia there is an app to handle the whole Bluetooth file sharing issue. Might not be free however.
[Galaxy Tab General] {Diemex}:
Jep i know that.

Its called ibluenova and it didn't even work on 3.x, it was quite buggy. on ios 4.x it doesn't work at all.

so that is no option.

[Galaxy Tab General] rangercaptain:
When I have to, I share between devices (laptop, phone) with a dropbox. Also by email. But that means a data connection.
[Galaxy Tab General] jda180:
Try "file expert" app. Then set your tab as a "mobile access point" using the standard wi fi settings.

When you start file expert the tab becomes a web server (it tells you what address to use and lets you set login & password)

Then open browser on your "other" device --enter the address from step above and then browse your Tab.

I tried this in the office recently with an ipad owning colleague & he was browsing my photo collection in less than a minute.
[Galaxy Tab General] {Diemex}:
file expert its working very nicely.

Only problem is that it uses data.

sent from my galaxy tab
[Galaxy Tab General] jda180:
Hi Diemex

Are you sure it's "using data"?

File Expert should work if you switch off your 3G and create your own private wifi network.

Glad it's working for you.

Jonathan
[Galaxy Tab General] {Diemex}:
Theres definetly data that's caused by file expert. That's what 3g watchdog says.

The upload of file expert is quite precisely the filesizes of what I viewed.

Probably it even charges me double data, I think it will be uploaded first and then downloaded again via the hotspot.

Its not possible to create a hotspot without a data connection. I tried the IP I get from Fe to cennect to is also "localhost".

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albright:
I would like my gtablet to remain able to establish ssh connections

after the display turns off.

It appears even if I set the wifi preference to never go to sleep, once

the display turns off I cannot either ping or ssh into my gtablet?

So, I wonder if there is a way to do this.

(By the way, I assume that the wifi has power saving implemented

so just sitting around will actually not use much battery.)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfin13:
I've noticed that when the screen goes off, adb even loses the tablet until you turn the screen back on. But I am having the same issues with Wifi, and setting it to never sleep in addition to installing a keep alive app doesn't seem to do much good. When the screen goes off for a couple of minutes, all connections seem to be lost.

It would be nice if there was some sort of solution to this.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albright:
yes, I can't get wifi to stay on. Basically, I want the tablet to stay

on but the screen to blank.

I am on a TnT ROM using Clemsyn's kernel, and I get the same problem, so it might be a device issue.

I'm trying out an app called Wifi Fixer -- free from the Marketplace (though I'll get the .99 cent donate version if this works). I left the tab display off and untouched for about 10 minutes just now, and wifi was still connected when I turned it back on. I'll let it sit for about 1/2 hour and see if it still works. If so, we might have a winner :)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roebeet:
In TNT (Lite), try Settings -- wireless -- Wi-Fi Settings -- Advanced Settings -- Wi-Fi Sleep Policy
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albright:
wifi sleep policy is set so -- supposedly -- wifi never sleeps, but that did

not work for me (wifi was shut down when tablet goes to sleep - I wonder

what controls that - I would want display and system to have separate

sleep control ...)

But I found an app in market, wifi keepalive that seems to be working.

My tablet just turned off the display and I can still ssh, ping and rsync

successfully.

Maybe that is the solution.

I wonder how much power this will draw?

(I have a nokia n810 "mini-tablet" and even with wifi on (power saving

mode enabled) battery consumption is pretty minimal if wifi is not

actually in use. Does android use power saving mode in wifi?)
