Try turning it off, and then going back into recovery. On my Sprint tab it usually fails to convert on the first try. If that doesn't do it, do a full wipe, and then reboot recovery.

coheirnt: I had the same thing happen a couple days ago, you just need to reflash your firmware with Odin or Heimdall. Do you have Sprint or Verizon? On Sprint you can just use the firmware from that flasher leak thread, but I don't know if there's an official firmware dump for Vz yet.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] kylecore:
Basically I'm looking for an app or a setting or anything that will allow me to customize when and where auto rotate actually gets used. As apposed to just having it enabled or disabled.

Where I could enable auto rotate to only work in browser, games and gallery and keep disabled for everything else so it stays portrait all the rest of the time.

Could the option be coded into a kernal like the voodoo sound control app/feature or BLC?

Any help would be appreciated :)

This is exactly what I am using. I use tasker app for that. Get it from the market. It can do much more than just this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Seifer1975:
+1, I am using tasker for that too but it doesn't really tie in the autorotate to the apps themselves, but rather it enables/disables auto-rotate based on the apps. This means that I cannot specific auto-rotate to work only with, eg gmail but not other apps. I can only turn auto-rotate on when gmail is launched. So other apps will also auto-rotate so long as gmail is running
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Czaper:
Try smart rotator. Its free on market.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bonstio:
As per the title. I was using it just happily on the bus when it froze. After pulling the battery, it just vibrated three times and the red led flashed. I don't recall what I was doing at the time but it was something harmless - reading email I think - I was quite surprised at this otherwise super stable phone freezing.

Until this time I was happily running CM7nightly 35 (approx) with lastest Pershoot kernel, OCd to around 1200MHz.

I can power up in Clockwork mod recovery 3.0.0.5 and have tried restoring various backups I have and tried reflashing CM7RC4. Trying a regular boot just sticks on the white HTC screen.

When in Clockwork mod it complains:

E:Can't open: /cache/recovery/log

E:Can't open: /cache/recovery/log

E:Can't open: /cache/recovery/last_log

E:Can't open: /cache/recovery/last_log

I tried formatting it but it still complains afterwards.

Error formatting /cache!

ARGH!

I would love some suggestions please.

EDIT: Now I see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=949733 which seems identical. I will follow up there. Please do the same if you have suggestions.

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing wifi problems after updating from 2.2 to 2.3. I lost my wifi after switching to the CM7 nightlies awhile ago and i thought it was just the rom, but I've used RoyalGinger, RoyalMint, and RoyalGlacier. I followed the instructions exactly, but when i turn wifi on, it just says error. This is also the case for the wifi hotspot. Any help would be much appreciated (:

Try flashing, booting and letting it load without trying to turn on wifi. Then after a few minutes reboot and let it load again then try turning on your wifi. Let us know if that helps you.

Well **** buddy, I dunno what else to suggest. You have tried various kernels, and multiple ROMs all to no avail.

I know our devices are notorious for weak wifi, but never heard of it being completely broken. I would nandroid restore to the stock ROM and kernel and see if it's still broken. If so, then have HTC or T-Mo switch it out for you.

[Nexus S Android Development] avetny:
hello developers ;)!

no points for me, I just bringing here to our development:)

Many of us are disappointed about the reading speed of the SD Cards on our Android Phones. It doesn't matter if you have fast 10 Class SD Card, it performs very poorly on the Phone comparing how it performs on the PC.

The clue is the Cache size for reading from SD Card. It's set to 128 KB, on some ROM's even to 4 KB!

You can check for yourself your Cache size by looking into this file:

/sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb

You can change it manually but it will be reverted to default on the reboot. The changes need to be done permanently by loading the script on the startup through the init.d.

Or you can flash the CWM zip files that I made for you.

You must find which Cache size fits best for your SD Card. In my case its the 3072 KB Cache size.At best, use the Root Explorer to change the value, then run SD Tools Benchmark - finally flash the CWM zip file that fits your SD Card.

Here are two screenshots - the first one shows the reading speeds with the default Cache 128 KB and the second one is with the 3072 KB Cache with my Class 4 SD Card on CM7 RC2 by Charnsingh.

The Benchmark is made with the SD Tools program.

If you want to convince yourself of the speed improvement after applying the fix, just open your Gallery and see how fast it loads the photos!

Suggestion: 2048 KB Cache size performs at best for most of the SD Cards!

Some of the ROM chiefs have hardcoded this values in the init, that can't be changed - only by the chief himself.

Some of the ROM's already contain this tweak in another script that is saved in the init.d folder. Probably it's tagged with the number 99 in the filename to be sure that it's executed at last. You have to change it there.

Rafpigna - the HD2 Android chief - pointed that out over here.

For ROM Cookers - add this line into init.rc file:

I changed manually the read_ahead and indeed performance does change. The problem I have is that the script provided in the zip file gets deleted after reboot so changes are not permanent as per post.
