[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirxro:
So I flashed my galaxy s with using odin, using xxjpy firmware.

After that I installed CF-Root-XX_XEU_JPY-v1.3-BusyBox-1.17.1.tar also using odin.

And then I put CWM.

And then I installed darky's rom v9.5, from the recovery screen (install from zip..).

All fine and dandy, the phone was working great, so i wanted to apply voodoo lagfix. From the recovery mode. I selected “enable lagfix” and “/system lagfix on”, after that I rebooted my phone.

The OS started, but it started giving me errors for everything, the launcher, any app. I couldn't even turn it off manually, because the screen was continuously filling up with errors.

After that I undo-ed the lagix, meaning "disable lagix" and "/system lagfix off"

but the problem persisted.

What should I do now?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Dump the rom .

Make sure lagfix is off .

Download stock Froyo rom and install via Odin with pit 512 and reparation checked .

next time try the Rom Kitchin build your own rom .

Did you take an automatic backup before the lagfix was applied?

If so, once you have disabled the lagfix, restore that backup.

I honestly didn't expect the lagfix to f.. up my phone.

Hey guys, young French junior member here hehe (not really sure of my english)

I recently bought a HTC Wildfire 2.2.1 with Sense (and Damn Hboot 1.01) and then I wanted to root it and overclock it= impossible without an xtc clip, great!

So this is my phone HTC Wildfire 2.2.1 with Sense, Froyo Hboot 1.01, Bouygues Telecom .

I comed here as i just wanted to change my home screen/theme (Sense->Stock Froyo), I saw a few videos and tutos which said to clear Htc Sense's defaults launch option, and then put on the Home button, but nothing happened and Sense still there (grrrr).

Finally I decided to download Home Switcher, and i saw that my wildfire didn't have any Home.apk expect for Sense Home...

I wondered how could i change this or where could i download the stock froyo home.apk, can you help me ?

Thx for reading
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
There are two things I can think of:

1: Install ADW Launcher from the Market. It looks pretty similar to the default Launcher on Android 2.2

2: The default Launcher for Froyo 2.2 can be found here in this thread at Post #10. But, this is for the Evo, and, I have no idea whether it will work on the Wildfire or not. Still, as it simply involves installing an apk, it should be worth a try:

[Wildfire General] Leo_outlaw:
Hmm that's what I though... thanks for the instant answer ! Nevertheless the buzz is quite slow and I want the fastest one,are these launchers better than the sense one?
[Wildfire General] antonio1475:
LauncherPro is MUCH better than stock launcher (not much much better than Sense is terms of smoothness, but much more useful yes).

I don't like ADW or any other because they aren't smooth. LauncherPro is.

[Wildfire General] Alex_GP:
Launcher PRO is smooth as butter compared to the Sense launcher.
[G2 and Desire Z General] itm:
While Sense brings alot of benefits, I've always found that the default homepage is very wasteful in terms of screen real estate. I want to replace it with something like the default Android homepage - a search bar, and a selection of as many widgets and shortcuts as can fit on the screen. What's the best way of achieving what I want?

I've seen references to MaxManila and Co0kie's Home Tab Editor - are these what I'm looking for?
[G2 and Desire Z General] slovoflud:
You should check out other launchers like LauncherPro from the Market

But, really you can make any homepage look like stock with widgets
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
Whoa, you might be jumping around to different device forums a bit here. MaxManila and CHT are mods for the old Windows Mobile OS, which does not even run on the G2/Desire Z. Different devices, different OS.

On Android, the app that is tied to the home button, and constitutes your home page and apps drawer is known as the "launcher". The stock Sense launcher is really slow and a resource hog. I highly suggest trying an alternative launcher.

As mentioned above, Launcher Pro seems very popular by users here. That, and ADW Launcher seem the most popular alternative launchers. I personally like ADW Launcher, since it has the option to lock the home screen. GO Launcher also seems pretty cool, and there are others. The ones I mentioned are all free (but have paid versions with more features). So just find them on the Market and see which you like best. You can even switch back and forth easily by using the Home Switcher for Froyo app.

[TG01 Themes and Apps] olyloh6696:
Hi just to let all tg01 users know, i have installed the newest version of SPB Shell 3D on my ZTE blade. It runs smooth, and all, but it is seriously an unpratical Home launcher with too much eye candy animations and pretty useless. It doesnt have the functionality of the 3.5 Version.

So just to simply say that we dont need to be angry or dissapointed that SPB is not releaseing Shell 3D for our WM TG01's as its pretty rubbish, just lots of fancy animations. I'm yet to install this on my Galaxy Tab, to see what it is like on the big screen :D (but i will only use it for showing off and i might aswell but my wasted money on the pointless shell to use on all my devices)

The only nice thing about it is the folders, and some new widgets. Also the 3D carousel has been improved and is much faster to launch and on the 3.5 on our WM, there is a delay to opening the 3D carousel. it is also much faster and smoother as the ZTE Blade only has a 600mhz opposed to the 1ghz on the TG01 - but this could be down to android being a generally more optimized, faster OS)

But from my conclusions, it is a battery hogging app, and takes up 40-50mb RAM on my ZTE Blade!

If you really want to try it out yourself on the TG01, boot into android (sd card) find a .apk for it somewhere (google is your friend) However i am not promoting WAREZ. So use the public beta if you want to not use warez. Install it on the TG01 using a file manager and you can try it.

So my overall opinion is that we won't miss the SPB Shell 3D (Version 5.0) too much, and 3.5 is still brilliant! However if SPB still released Shell 3D 5.0 for the WinMo, i won't mind giving it a go to see how it is like.

p.s - if you want, i can post a short video of my TG01 and ZTE blade running SPB Shell 3.5 vs 5.0.

well i have the full version from the android market that i bought, but you can google it for the full version ( though i'm not promoting Warez) google - 'SPB shell 3d apk' i've seen links for the full version.

But if you want to not use warez - google - SPB Mobile shell 5.0 beta apk (there are 2 versions of the beta a 'fixed' for special devices and plain version...

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tboneuncw:
Hello all,

I recently purchased a Viewsonic gtablet from Woot.com as well as everybody else. I have a few issues I wanted to ask and if anyone could help me that would great! A little bit of background, I did install TNT lite 4.4 on this gtablet without Clockworkmod.

1. I am not a fan of autorotate and I unchecked the box in the display settings and it looks like TNT lite 4.4 has overrode this functionality. Does anyone know how to make it stop autorotating?

2. I am definitely not going to complain about TNT lite 4.4 because it is tremendously better than Tap 'N Tap. I also do not want to seem ungrateful because it is free. The problem is I do not want all the preloaded apps and I have tried to use the "Sniffer" to remove them but it greys out the "Uninstall" button.

I also read and try using ADB to delete them but no luck. I follow all the directions, which work just fine until the step where I use the command to "rm apk file." It states there is no such file or directory, even though I see them on the list after typing "ls."

I can leave all the preloaded apps if it is necessary for TNT lite 4.4 to function properly but I rather remove them if it doesn't harm the system.

3. I am not sure if anyone can help me with this problem but after trying to use apps, Shazaam and Live Hold'Em Poker Pro, I had to force close both of them because they not working. Has anyone had any issueson force closing apps or possibly the settings area?

Thanks in advance to all who help!

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androyed:
I have my Nexus S for over two weeks now, and I'm incredibly happy with it. Theming is a lot of fun, and you can do very cool stuff even without root and custom roms!

However, there is one (strange) thing I've noticed. It's about the RAM.

For your information: I use Go Launcher which has a tab in the App Drawer with running applications, and a button to close all (you can exclude certain apps). When I boot up my phone, I have 170-180 MB free RAM. The following programs (and widgets) are running in the background (I have excluded them from the close all list): Go SMS Pro (widget, notifications), WhatsApp (notifications), Lookout, Extended Controls (widget), Wiget Locker (I made it look like the MIUI lockscreen) and Clockr (widget).

There are two more apps that are on constantly, and those are the Miren Browser and PlayerPro. I don't know why Miren Browser keeps turning itself on. When I check how much MB it uses, it says 0,00 dB... As for PlayerPro, I use a widget called Phantom Music Control, a widget that hides itself when no music is being played. I also use it on my lockscreen. This widget controls PlayerPro, so that is probably why PlayerPro has to be running all the time (so that it can start up quickly when needed).

There are some Google apps that turn themselves on, like Gmail and Places, and they actually use RAM according to Go Launcher. I don't want them to be running, and synchronization is turned off with Gmail. When I want to know if I have mail, I open Gmail. It doesn't have to be running all the time. I've never used Places, and I never will use it, so I don't know why that has to be running all the time.

Every once in a while I hit Close All (with Go Launcher). However, I've noticed that over time my free memory keeps lowering. When I boot up my phone it is around 175 MB, but at the end of the day the free memory is 100 MB, 70 MB or even 50 MB, and yes, even after I've hit the 'Close All' button.

I know I don't use my phone very efficient, with programs like Go SMS, Widget Locker and that Music Control widget, and I will flash a custom rom later. My RAM memory will probably increase then (I've read something about Supercurio's kernel including a boost RAM management). It just bothers me that I don't have control over what programs are running (Gmail and Places), and that my free memory decreases over time. I haven't noticed any slow downs, I'm just worried. Or shouldn't I?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cgi:
I don't know about the rest, but you shouldn't be concerned about free memory.

Android is designed in a way that all programs keep running (sleeping actually) in the background even when you don't use them at the moment. They are automatically killed when the system needs memory for something else. Any program that is sent to the background (e.g. by pressing back or home) can be killed by the system at any time and is (should be) ready for it.

Basically, the less free memory you have, the better. That means that many of the apps you use are running and you can return to them without delay.

There are some articles floating around the web about the architecture of android and process/application life cycle. They explain that better then me, and in more detail.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androyed:
First of all, thanks!

So I don't have to be afraid of any slow down? And what about Gmail and Places turning themselves on every time, even if I don't use them?

And why does the free memory decrease over time, but increases again when I turn off and boot up my phone?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cgi:
More like the opposite: your RAM is being put to good use.

When your PC get's low on RAM it will start swapping and trashing around. Your smartphone has no swap and is optimized for it. If it get's low on RAM, it will just kill some stuff in the background. All this happens without you noticing anything (if the app is programmed correctly).

I don't know about Gmail and Places. Most likely they are running because they registered broadcast receivers or something.

Every app is running in its own dalvik virtual machine process. Since creating a new VM process is expensive (in terms of processing time), the VM processes are reused to some degree. One app is unloaded, the new one is loaded.

There is more stuff going on behind the scenes, of course. There are likely some spare VMs sleeping in the background waiting for an app to use them.

However, the heap (dynamically allocated memory of a process) of a VM can only grow and never shrink (don't ask me why). So after a few apps or so a VM process is restarted, too.

To come back to your question: When your device boots up, only the processes needed for boot are running. That will be the launcher, some widgets and so on. So basically, this is the moment with the most free RAM. However, this is also when your device is slowest, because every new app you launch has first to be loaded into memory and executed.

While you use your device, many of the apps you used will be kept around in the background, so when you start them again, they will reappear instantly, because the whole "create vm process --> load app from storage --> execute and initialize app" chain has already happened.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d-h:
"Free memory is wasted memory."

When you open an app, the system loads it into ram. When you close it, the system should not bother to remove it from ram because there is a good chance you will use that app again and having it pre-loaded makes it open significantly faster.

Just because ram is "used" doesn't mean it can't be re-allocated for something more important.

That being said, it is entirely possible that some of your apps have memory leaks. Does it get worse after two days, or three days?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androyed:
I turn my phone off every evening, so I don't know. It's not a problem by any means, I'm just curious.

I've left my RAM alone today, and I didn't noticed any slow down. It was on 110 MB free RAM when I left it alone, and when it was at 35 MB RAM, I decided to hit the close all button (there was no slow down btw). Guess what? My RAM went back up to 140 MB! Not as much as when I boot my phone up, but it's still strange: when I hit close all when the free RAM is very low, I get more free RAM then when I hit close all when my free RAM is around 100 MB (I only get 5 or 10 MB free RAM extra then).

Thanks by the way, good first post!

so i found something. i mounted my atrix and took downloaded files from applanet/downloads folder.

then i copied to sdk/tools folder.

i re-connected atrix with PHONE PORTAL mode and enabled usb-debugging.

i run command : adb install ndrive.apk

and Successfull !

i controlled my device application runs perfect.

Step by step :

1-Download from applanet (or internet. if you donwload from internet pass through to step 6 )

2- Connect Atrix in Mass Storage mode.

3- Copy downloaded files from SDCARD to SDK/TOOLS (ex : applanet : applanet/downloads)

4- Rename file (app.apk to NAME_OF_APP.apk)

5- Disconnect Atrix

6- Connect Atrix as Phone portal mode with debugging enabled

7- Open command prompt go to sdk/tools folder (EX: cd C:\sdk\tools\)

8- make sure phone connected (adb devices)
