[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syntropic:
Thank you so much for all that info... It was quite nice of you to go into such detail... I know what you mean about windows, you have to keep on it... keep pushing it back.

I will use your suggestions.. they are the best thing I could have asked for.

Incidentally, I saw in your sig that you use a stock Rom... Why is that? I have had my glacier for about 7 weeks and while I rooted it right away, I didn't Flash a modded ROM until CM RC3.

Have you any personal opinions on using a non-sense ROM...? That is about the one thing I seem to read consistently. People saying that HTC builds the devices to perform better with a sense based UI/ROM.

Any opinion? Just curious...(don't mean to take advantage of your kindness in your last post.)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoltyPK:
Edit: Fail at English, Being tired doesn't help.

I love the Espresso sense Stock comes with. It has all the features i want where i want them and its a clean look. After I Froze the bloatware it runs Just as well as the comparable roms with optimized code but better stability. Because Sadly with optimized code comes less compatibility and greater risk for instability. Eventually I'll flash something else but its gonna need to be something along the lines of a gingerbread version of stock.

From what i understand there actually is alot of device specific compatibility involved, especially with Sense. The Espresso Sense they used is highly specific in alot of the areas, whitch is why Faux123 has had so many issues this making a 100% compatible Sense kernel. Also if you think about it, they where made for each other and i doubt T-mo or HTC want to release updates all the time to fix issues so they made it as stable and compatible within reason for the general public.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syntropic:
Well... I tend to agree with you, although I am not the coder I would like to be, and as such I do not understand a lot about the Android OS and FS that I wish I did.

I work within a linux environment maybe half the time, but with Linux, there is always more to learn... So I need to ask then why upgrade your kernel? Is this faux's kernel which is close to being sense compatible? I was fine using my stock ROM, rooted, but some psychological nonsense made me believe that going from 2.2.1 to 2.3 would somehow change my entire Android experience. And while there are some minor features that are new, other than CM themes and all that, I don't know if jumping to GIngerbread is necessary....or if my experience sticking with the Stock Froyo would be a wiser choice... modding whatever I want as I am perm rooted radio s=off like you.

But I would like to know what the benefit of the kernel gives you...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoltyPK:
The updated kernel adds updated drivers code improvements, several new CPU governors for better performance and battery life and alot of other stuff. and with Faux behind the wheel its guaranteed to be good. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=941141
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syntropic:
Cool. I did not know this. So you are running 2.2 but the kernel is enhancing this a great deal.

You are so cool and nice to answer my questions...and I don't want to turn this into a "Ask SoltyPK" thread but I have a q that you addressed with another user... mine might be more rudimentary... but how can I upgrade to CWR 3.0.0.6? I have the donate Rom Manager and it itself is the latest version of the app but its the old 3.0.0.5. Really confused and frustrated. Downloaded unrevoked...but that's for wildfire so I don't think that would be wise.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syntropic:
I saw that you answered my CW question in my thread from earlier today. Thanks. Been figuring out a lot of stuff today.

So I flashed the new recovery. Awesome.

I won't apologize for asking questions anymore. You must just enjoy it. I am insomniac, and am always in front of this phone our my laptop, so I think I am just the odd one.

In December, someone released a launcher for what was supposed to be the"gingerbread launcher". It is more or less the launcher that CM7 uses, the icons are the same, and the animation upon opening and closing odd the same... But the pre-gingerbread launcher from december had a really nice vertical 3D roller effect. Do you know if there is any way I can get this effect with some mod or changing settings in ADW (the launcher format of CM7)? Do you even know what I am talking about?

Thanks on this one a lot..
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoltyPK:
Yeah thats from ADW Launcher i believe. its on the app market.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badbeats:
Ok.... I made a few backups via nandroid using cwm. When I checking CWM I noticed that I had 4 backups.

1 of the backups was when I was using Bonsai 3, and has a program I want. It is not in the market anymore.

When I restored that backup I went back to Bonsai 3.

If I install the backup I made last night I get Bonsai 4, but I lose the program.

Also if I connect my phone to my laptop under Bonsai backup I only have 1 file which is 1kb so where are these backup files?

Thanks for the help! The newbies like me appreciate it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
I think there is a way. Someone else had a similiar problem and wanted to get their text message data out. It is in the thread below where 00dwan talks about unyaffs and data files. Seems a bit complicated but if the app is that important here you go. What is the name of the app? Maybe someone still has it and can upload it to you.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=993827

Hope this helps.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Also you can restore the Bonsai 3 backup with the app and then using Android Mate or any of a dozen backup programs, backup the app, or send it to the SD card, and then resinstall it after putting Bonsai 4 on.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badbeats:
Its actually wallpaper (yeah I know its stupid). I got it off the market it was called Nba wallpaper by nametz. It is not in the market anymore. I could not figure out how to move the file. I can press on hold on my home screen then click on wallpaper. I then can install from the gallery, wallpaper, or this file which is ... somewhere.

I tried titanium backup in the past which I thought was simple since it was set to back up everything once a week. However when I needed to install the data and files again I could not. So If you could recommend a simple program that is idiot proof I would appreciate it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
So it was actually an application that you downloaded from the market? With the app on your phone, get android mate from the market. Open it, look for the NBA Wallpaper app, then long press on it. An option will come up to back up. Do that and you will be able to restore it on Bonsai 4. If it is just a wallpaper it should be a jpg somewhere. Root explorer may help you find it. If you can see it in the Gallery then you can long press on it there and get the details of it, share it by sending it to yourself or other options.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badbeats:
Ok I did what you said, and dl android mate. However the file is not listed. Its not under applications. It is not listed under downloads, but it is set at my current wallpaper
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badbeats:
If i long press on my home screen and click on wallpaper I have 3 options

1. Gallery

2. wallpaper

3. NBA by Natemz

So its not listed under apps

It is not in wallpaper

It is not in the gallery

Its driving me crazy
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Heh, so it was a widget?

Googled it and found it here:

http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...79-nba-team-wallpaper-app-natemz-p3droid.html

Buuuuttttt the links are not working. It says it was an app which must install the wallpapers when you run it, therefore the app should be on your phone. Is it listed in applications?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badbeats:
No, if i click on the applications button, I see 30 or so apps but its not listed.

The only place I see it besides the long press is..

left button.. settings... applications.... manage applications.... then p3dtoid nba wall paper......

I can force stop or unistall but I cannot click on move to sd card
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
OK, so if you run Titanium backup, can you find that file and back it up?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badbeats:
Yes I can see it with titanium
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
OK, so back it up (apk+data) and restore it after updating the ROM. If it is an apk file you will also need to click on it to put it back in your wallpaper choices.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badbeats:
Ok since I have screwed tbhis up before. I clicked on backup/restore tab. I click on the app and it has an M which is app+data+market link.

However I have no idea where its stored.

Also I see I can backup to sd card, however if I try this but after 15 minutes it just hung and did nothing.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Just back it up with titanium and when you update and run titanium later you can restore it. Titanium backs it up on the sd card.

BONSAI 4 and loving it!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Is it one wallpaper you are trying to save or the whole app? When I went from 3 to 4 it restored my MARVEL wallpaper.

So guys this is what I need to know

I want to know if the recovery that u use affect the internet of your phone cuz I was using workclokmod and I was running elite3 and the internet speed was pretty good and even the xda app was loading fast just 2 days ago and 2day I flash the ra_ recovery 2.3 and I flash the same Rom but the internet was acting gay and even the xda app was taking 4 ever to load so I want to know if the recovery method affect this or what
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Perhaps just crappy signal as of late, but your recovery has no effect on your internet speeds.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebeast614:
Someone correct me if I'm wrong...but I don't believe the recovery you use has any effect on your internet...you could have had a bad flash...but that's all I can come up with...I'm no dev tho

Idk wtf is going on but when I flash the backup of my stock the internet runs good and the xda app 2
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebeast614:
Was it the same rom version and kernel and all that?...no difference?

Sent from my nightly EVO
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teejay89:
Try a full wipe, wipe dalvik separately, then re-flash. Also make sure you're using a good kernel for your rom. I recommend netarchy for Sense or Savaged Zen for AOSP
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rene009:
Yea froyo and I haven't change the stock kernel
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Personally I'd add Tiamat for AOSP roms as well.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rene009:
But like o said before when I was using clockworkmod the Rom was running perfect and there is something else I still using the backup that I did wit titanium backup
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teejay89:
Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of Titanium Backup. But like I said, try doing a complete wipe of everything, wipe dalvik twice (for good measure), and re-flash. Also try just re-downloading your apps instead of using the backup program.

And ffs, sync with your Google account. It will save you a ****load of time

Thnx I

will do that
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] pomka78:
Hi! With 200 apps installed i move this cache to /dev with this script. O1 startup 2-2.5 minutes while recreating dalvik-cache directory. Runs fast and 70-80MB is free on sdcard or phone memory. SDCard life is loooong! Run this on Mik_os CyanogenMod Beta 3.1-4 without A2SD or uninstalled A2SD.

P.S. If you use A2SD then first: 1-locate where is dalvik-cache creating. 2- move it to phone. 3- remove (.txt) from attached file. 4- add script into /system/etc/init.d with root explorer and change right permission
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] franciscofranco:
Does this really works? I'm really damn curious, but I don't want to mess with it right off the bat without you telling me how does it performs.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] pomka78:
Yes it works! About battery eating... No more from stock mik_os Cyanogen beta4, and RAM 240-250Mb after phone is fully loaded. Phone is loading after Homescreen is visible about 2mins...so dont touch him- wait for cache is genering
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] franciscofranco:
I just did it, couldn't resist, and yes it worked. I only have 17 mb worth of "dalvik-cache" files anyway, but I guess having it on /dev provides more performance than having it on SD card (unless the card is a class 10).
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] pomka78:
"I only have 17 mb worth of "dalvik-cache" files anyway"- on SdCard? delete it...! Sorry for bad english...
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] franciscofranco:
Not on sd-card anymore ofc...Don't worry everything is working as it should, I know my stuff :p

For possible a2sd - dalvik to sd users this is what I did:

1. Moved dalvik back to data (with darktremors I just typed a2sd nocache in the terminal);

2. Rebooted;

3. Wiped dalvik-cache at recovery;

4. Booted;

5. Copied this script into init.d;

6. Rebooted;

7. ??

8. Profit.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] pomka78:
Yes. The /dev subdirectory size is 200mb and not used for user!? Not right...;-)

I'll try move to /dev /data/dropbox- this is trash directory?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] franciscofranco:
As far as I know /dev isn't used by "us" the user, but I don't know much more about it.

What do you want to move to /dev? I didn't understand completely.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] pomka78:
/data/dropbox -- this is temporary files from What?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] franciscofranco:
I have the dropbox app and I dont have that folder, but your path belongs to dropbox I bet
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] pomka78:
/data/system/dropbox - - another folder with some files
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] NervGaz:
Doesn't this mean the dalvik-cache is rebuilt on every boot?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] pomka78:
Yes its rebuild, but into fast memory,not use sdcard
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] andy572:
Hi friends,

i would say: the idea to put the cache in ram is good, but /dev is the VERY,VERY WRONG place to do that! Why? the /dev folder is specially ONLY for devices and user-data or other system data has not a place in it.

To work better with this idea:

create a new folder in /system or /data and mount a tmpfs in it. after do this, link /data/dalvik-cache to this this created folder and all is fine ;)

tmpfs is nothing other than a loop device, specially for temporay data store when system is running. on shutdown, the tmpfs gets automaticly unmounted.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] pomka78:
But /dev - is a "devices" ,they reinitialize every boot phone. what's wrong be if cache would be reinitializing in their own directory.

3 days - flight normal...
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] andy572:
yes, "/dev" are devices, and dalvik-cache isn't a device and doesn't contains devices - so this folder must be placed in another place in file system.

It works, there is no problem - but it's not conform to a FHS standard (i know, android has it's own standard...)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] NervGaz:
I'm with Andy on this one, /dev is not the place to do this. It's not a normal directory and should be left alone. I think Andy's solution is the way to with this. And I'm still wondering what the actual benefit will be apart from saving space.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] pomka78:
FHS standard? Not hear about... i try to change script. Maybe resize /cache partition? How? I'll try
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] andy572:
FHS = Filesystem Hierarchy Standard. It was invented to have a clear file system on Linux, and android is a similar system to Linux/*NIX.

Clear means, that developers shouldn't install binaries/libs or scripts wild around the system - so this standard gives a way to organize files in a clear way;)

/bin = essential binaries needed by system

/boot = system boot related files (kernel,bootloader config,static binaries for boot time)

/dev = system device drivers

/etc = system wide configuration files

/lib = essential system libraries (libc...)

/media = mount point for media like CD-ROM or USB drives

/mnt = mount point for internal mounts (mount other harddrives in system)

/opt = optional installation files or temporary (test-)installtion

/sbin = essential system service binaries

/tmp = temorary files (content of this folder gets removed before every boot, but is a normal directory node - here you can create a folder and mount a tmpfs in)

/usr = secondary file hierarchy, provided for installtion files/applications & other libraries not needed by system to boot to a shell

/var = variable data here you can create a folder and mount a tmpfs in

Hope, this information helps some ;)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] franciscofranco:
Hmm, there's quite good information here, I didn't know that much about FHS... is tmpfs loaded into RAM as well?

EDIT: Yes it is loadaded into RAM... should've go search before asking.
[Nook Color General] capnblackleg:
Slapped CM7 with tweaks on here and so far so good aside from some small things but my battery suddenly seems to charge incredibly slow. Anything I can do to fix this?
[Nook Color General] danger-rat:
Are you using the right cable and charger? The charger and cable are specific to the Nook...
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
Charges normally for me.

This.
[Nook Color General] poppscc:
I also get very slow charge if I charge via USB on my PC. I have a few phone chargers, and only one seems to be able to charge the nook at a decent rate
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
Use the Nook Cable and Nook Charger. Period. If you do, 1.9A charge current. If you dn't, .5A charge current.
[Nook Color General] miniaturepeddler:
on the stock kernal, B&N explicitly say that the ONLY way to charge the Nookcolor is via the charge brick/USB cable, that you will not be able to charge the Nookcolor via a usb port of your PC.

I did notice that once I went to the Froyo and C7 Roms that I could charge on my USB ports of my PC, but MUCH slower than via the power brick.

FWIW
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
It will charge from any source.... at .5Ah.. :rolleyes:
[Nook Color General] capnblackleg:
Yes, nook charger. I ran CM7 from SD and nothing changed but once I flashed cm7 with tablet tweaks the batt seemed to drain fast and charge slow.
[Nook Color General] Juboha:
There's a reason why some choose not to go to CM7. CM7 suffers the "sleep of death" and so is always ON, even when it appears to be sleeping.

This would result in slower charging as the device is fully active all the time.
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
Actually, I've been using it for about 5 days off the SD card and it's not as bad as I had heard. I see 1%/hr when it's "asleep" vs .2%/hr I saw on stock. So in terms of charge speeds etc, fairly insignificant.

I must say though, my time between charges since going to CM7 have been much smaller... because I'm playing with the NC a lot more ;)
[Nook Color General] RoboRay:
Yes, they do say that... and yes, they are lying. Even on the stock B&N OS, I was able to charge just fine (although slowly) from a standard USB port. You don't get a "charging" indicator but, if you watch the battery level, it does slowly increase.
[Nook Color General] RoboRay:
This is not exactly correct... All NC ROMs are subject to the "sleep of death" problem where the device can crash when put to sleep due to a kernal bug. It would frequently happen to me in Froyo.

CM7 works around this bug by simply not letting the device fully sleep. This is a temporary measure until the new kernal without this bug is ready. This technically makes CM7 the only ROM that doesn't "suffer the 'sleep of death'," as you say.

I'll take slightly shorter battery life over constantly needing to reboot any day of the week.
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
Not all.. the B&N ROM doesn't do it ;) Curious.... Could one use the B&N Kernel on CM7? Just to see if SOD was still there?
[Nook Color General] jmhalder:
Not a chance, they use different scheme for power management, video and audio subsystems are difference I believe... CM7(2.3) needs a 2.6.35 kernel to run, 2.1 runs on a 2.6.29, and 2.2 runs on 2.6.32... theres not a snowballs chance in hell that a stock kernel will run CM7 ;)

And I seem to use ~10-15% battery in a day on CM7, whatever, I'll charge it every 2 days and I'm fine. CM7 RC4 @ 1.1ghz with Hard menu/back keys make this device close to PERFECT!
[Nook Color General] dexx0008:
this is good to know. i was under the impression it was a cm7 issue. explains why my nookiecomb installation had sleep of death yesterday.

someone else mentioned that drain wasn't all that bad on cm7 when they tried it. One thread i read, that some of the more recent nightly builds seemed to lower the drain a bit. wish i'd remember the thread it was though.

[Atrix 4G General] hate_Romania:
Here is my dilemma. Tomorrow I have to buy a new phone no matter what! However I do not know what I want/need. .

So in one corner I have a Moto Atrix that I love for the hardware however I cannot stand the software and the boot-loader situation and in the other corner inspire 4g that I love for the fact that I can change the rom with cm7 however the hardware doesn't impresses me that much I find the battery to small for a phone that size.

If tomorrow Moto will say in x Nr of weeks we unlock the boot-loader I will buy the atrix and wait for the keys for the boot loader.

So what should I do? Do you guys think that there is a chance of Moto unlocking the boot loader? Or to be safe just get the inspire and never look back?

Are both of e phones gonna work in Canada over bell's network?
