Fascinating, and good to know. I have always had a blank line at the end of the file, as far as I know - in part because I was editing a pre-existing one most of the time. But when I went changed one thing and one thing only suddenly they started to work, and that was replacing the line feeds with carriage returns.

I honestly did nothing else... but if you can use carriage returns then, for whatever reason, I am wrong.

If everyone's boot animations work then I can live with it. ;-)

Sorry if this causes anyone any confusion, that wasn't the plan.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Well, to be honest, even I don't have it quite right. The truth of the matter is that Android does not care whether desc.txt uses CR/LF or LF. The separators in desc.txt are the letter "p". The blank line following is still necessary, if I recall correctly at approximately 2am.

Hello people

I'm considering getting the Archos 32 but I was thinking of overclocking it and speeding it up.

Please answer these questions :)

Can i install custom roms on the Archos 32 ?

How would I install a custom kernel ?

( would I have to install a custom recovery ? )

How far can I overclock the Archos 32 ?

Can you install a different launcher ? like Launcher pro

I do have background knowledge of these things because I've done it all on my LG p500

but the archos 32 is different then a phone so I'm just checking to see if I can just do the same thing as on my phone.
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
There are no "really" costum roms, but urukdroid is a got alternative to stock os;)

overclocking..hmm.. does the 32 has the same processor as the 43 70 101?

yes: you can try the oc kernel by artadat | no: maybe some dev could build a oc kernel for 32;)
[Gen8 General] alex ainsley:
All i know is that it has a 800mhz processor and the 43,70,101 have 1ghz

but according to http://www.arctablet.com you can overclock the 70 to 1200mhz

so I was thinking would it go up to 1ghz
[Gen8 General] griffincash:
AT least 1000mhz

I'm pretty sure it has the exact same CPU as the rest it's just underclocked to 800mhz. It SHOULD be overclockable to 1.2Ghz but then again my 70 never would boot with the OC'd kernel, but you should be able to run at 1Ghz with Urukdroid.
[Gen8 General] alex ainsley:
ok good thanks :)

Just one thing which I have updated on my original post.

can you have different launchers. like Launcher pro
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
Of course!:D a archos in a normal amdroid device:D
[Gen8 General] alex ainsley:
Thats good :)

Dose anyone know where I could download a custom kernel to put on the 32 to let me overclock it to say 1ghz + ?
[Gen8 General] Mr. Clown:
This shouldn't be here, since it is not dev.

[Vibrant General] MrGibbage:
With IPv6 coming on strong, isn't it time that all cell phones had static IP addresses? Just think of the possibilities if each phone had a static IP address: Notifications could be easily sent from any desktop app to your cell phone. You could even run a web server that shows what your camera is seeing.

There are a few apps out there that try to do the DynDNS thing, but they really only work when you are connected to a wifi network.

I have heard that Sprint will sell you a static IP address for $3 per month. I don't know if it is true (I have tmo), but I do hope it is and that it is just a (hopefully short) matter of time.

Battery Calibration

[APP] by marosige

version 1.2​

Requirements: Android 2.1+ | Root permissions

Calibration needs to be done after flashing a new ROM, but you can calibrate any time you think your battery is miscalibrated. This program does it by removing the batterystats.bin system file. The OS generates a new clean batterystats file soon, thus any fake information from the previous ROM is removed.

It's suggested, but not necessary, to let the phone fully discharge after calibration, then charged to 100% without break.

The app shows your actual battery status, and only allows you to start the calibration (i.e. removes the file) when it's fully charged, unless you force earlier calibration.

The voltage meter can be useful too. Full charge is around 4200mV.

There is an option to beep when 100% is reached so you don't have to closley follow the changes.

DOWNLOAD

Those who had 1.1 or lower installed: you must uninstall before installing from the Market, or else it will say installation unsuccessful, package not signed.

I tried this and it WORKS! (Also works on HTC HD2 Nand version.)

I'm not responsible for any damage or losses of any kind caused by the use or misuse of the program!

;)If you like this app, feel free to buy me a few beers ;)

[Android Apps and Games] zeppelinrox:
What if the battery is not calibrated to begin with?

You can delete batterystats.bin while its charging.

Batterystats will get recreated if you were to unplug it.

Otherwise, it get recreated at the boot logo before the animation.

So you can delete it while it's charging, let it charge it up to 4200mV + 15 minutes or so.

Leave it plugged in.

Shut down, take out the battery, start it up and you get a battery screen with the ? and then pop the battery back in and it will show 60% at first and if it's fully charged, it will show 100% soon enough.

Not sure if it works on other phones, but on droids and milestones you can boot the phone up without the battery.

This way to calibrate is pretty cool.

After deleting and charging, reboot phone normally but take the battery out before the logo and the phone keeps on booting.

Then you pop the battery back in at the lock screen and you can monitor everything with battery monitor widget.

Anyway, full guide in in my signature.
[Android Apps and Games] marosige:
Batterystats.bin will get recreated 2-3 minutes after deleting the file too. So reboot is not necesarry.

I have an HTC Desire HD. HTC and Samsung (and othere) phones can't boot up without battery. So this is the best way to do it in these phones.

But I will put a switch in my app so you can delete batterystats before chargeing it to 100% so people with droids or milestones can use your guide too, and can delete batterystats with my app.
[Android Apps and Games] zeppelinrox:
Yeah i figured it would not be universal that a phone can do no battery boot.

You should explain more fully in OP the remaining steps after deleting the bin file.
[Android Apps and Games] sottyc:
got a problem with this one....my nexus s battery stops at 99% tried pulling charger out and in trick reboots etc nothing gets it up to 100% any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] marosige:
I had the same problem when I first used my brand new batterey. It solved the problem when I fully discharged the batt. (the phone turned off) then when I charged it the phone showed 100% and I could run the app. Try this, if it's not working I willi figure out something else.
[Android Apps and Games] marosige:
What remaning steps are you thinking of? The calibration is ready after deleting the bin file. It's suggested, but not necessary, to let the phone fully discharge after calibration, then charged to 100% without break. Thats all.
[Android Apps and Games] adamantypants:
I'm genuinely asking since I don't know much about battery reads, but what's the advantage of using this over say just deleting battery stats in a recovery then fully charging/discharging?
[Android Apps and Games] marosige:
It's almost the same. The only difference is that this app only let you delete the battery stats when your phone is fully charged so your battery will calibrated correctly.

The othere advantages are: you don't have to boot into recovery and use the volume rockers to navigate on the screen, you just have to start the app and click on the button. Booting in to recovery then rebooting takes some time and maybe you miss a call while you're in the revocery. Or if you have the original recovery and your phone is rooted you can still delete this file if you think that your battery is not calibrated correctly.
[Android Apps and Games] adamantypants:
Ohhhh gotcha. Well, it's the right price and despite being a flashaholic I'll take anything that keeps me from using recovery. Thanks for the super quick response!

It doesn't work!

I have uninstalled the 1.1 version and the market one doesn't work, i click on acept and it starts like doing something but it doesn't work

I used the 1.1 version yesterday and now my phone is still on 20 percent, it really works fine! thanks, but you need to fix the market one
[Android Apps and Games] marosige:
Thank you really much!! I will figure something out like a thank list and put your name in the OP! :)

I'm hesitating between two options.

1) I will make a full version which uses a different algorithm to decides if the battery is fully charged. I have plans to a better algorithm wherewith you can calibrate your battery more precised. And give that version for $0.99 and the current version would be free.

2) I will develope only one version (with the better algorithm in the future) and it would be free but you could donate me some money if you want.

I reinstalled 1.1 from my SD card. Then uninstalled and installed 1.2 from the market. It works for me. After uninstalling 1.1 try to reboot your phone, then download 1.2

Does the Voltage meter change? Maybe try to recalibrate again, then reboot your phone.

I don't know yet. I usually charge it at night. When I wake up I calibrate it. Use it normally then at night charge it again. Play games with it, or use GPS navigation.
[Android Apps and Games] rk0:

[Android Apps and Games] mortal300:
Hey,

So i did this the other night. Drained my phone till it died. THen recharged until it became full. However it stopped at 97%. So i cleared the battery stats again. And then waited for it to die to 0% and recharged last night and woke up at 97% again.

However, I did notice a difference in the life of the battery. Its lasting much longer and feels stronger with I do multiple things on my phone.

I have a feeling my battery is just damaged and 97% is the highest it will go now. Time to call Samsung for a battery? (its under warranty =) )
[Android Apps and Games] marosige:
What does the voltage meter (added in version 1.2) shows when it's on 97%? If it's near to 4200mV (4195 or higher) your battery is fully charged. Try to leave it on the charger and check the voltage meter. If it's increasing your battery isn't full. If it stops in X mV (X < 4190) something is wrong.
[Android Apps and Games] adl:
Ah! That´s what the voltage meter is for! Thanx for clearing things up. :)

[Android Apps and Games] undercover:
Hi guys. When android has bad battery stats, does it misread mv as well? I'd rather go by mv because it's sort of pointless going by 100% charge when battery is not really charged (the whole point of this app), and mv is much more precise.

If you want to drain your battery fast, set your screen to 100% BRIGHTNESS and turn your led flashlight on (if you have one) Takes about 45 minutes:)
[Android Apps and Games] c00ller:
I have a feeling leaving the LED on for extended durations is not a good idea, in terms of LED health or other hardware from the heat output.. did it get hot??

Alternatively you can leave WiFi on and play games or watch YouTube.

Also, I was wondering if "forcing" the battery to drain to zero like this would be any different from "naturally" allowing the device to drain to zero. Any thoughts from the experts?

[Android Apps and Games] eyronic:
Why is my phone stuck at 3mV? But the current charge changes.

I tried pulling out the battery for about 5 mins and when I turn it on. It's still at 3mV.

Is there something wrong with my phone?

[Android Apps and Games] ERamseth:
How many tries did this take? and did you calibrate each time you unplugged?

ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS:

Is 4200 mV the target for all devices?

Anyone else with an EVO 4G having trouble getting up to 4200 mV?

If I literally cannot get a full charge per achieving 4200 mV, should I try to get a replacement battery from Sprint or HTC?
[Android Apps and Games] mochamoo:
I am having similar issue. I think when I calibrated (2 days ago) that it was at about 4162mV and now it won't charge more than that. It used to go to 4230mV. How do I get it to "forget" that max now? Should I run it down and recharge? Would restoring a nand backup from a week ago help (I'd rather not do that if I don't have to)?

By the way I have a Droid X.
[Android Apps and Games] lvnatic:
I'm also having problems with mV. I can go up to 4182, but not any higher. Few months ago I was able to reach 4197 but I don't know how I did it. I changed several kernels and radios since then, same problem. Could it be that I'm running an undervolted kernel? at 245MHz I have 875mV.
[Android Apps and Games] marosige:
I charged my phone. When it reached 100% it was on 4199. I left the phone on the charger maybe it raise to 4200. But it was on 4194 after 5 minutes. I think that when it reach full charge, the charging turns off for a while. Thats why the mV drains. I will figure something out.

On my Samsung Galaxy S is happening as follows:

The battery is charged to 100% and then use the app to calibrate and this generates calibration message ok (4190mV maximum). When I disconnect the charger, the load back to 97% (redid the process several times). When I redo the process with the app still open, the message is generated below:

Warning!

batterystats.bin not found! If you've calibrated your phone just ignore this message. If you've never calibrated your phone before, I'm sorry But your phone is not supported.

I'm using rom Juwe v3.2 and speedmod Kernel with lagfix, wipe installation.
[Android Apps and Games] marosige:
You get that message if the app can't locate the bin file. It gets recreated in 1-3 minutes after calibration.
[Android Apps and Games] imakul8:
The voltage seems to fluctuate or the meter is not super accurate. The highest my battery has read is 4195. The last time I couldn't get it past 4191, but I recalibrated battery anyway. Battery loves me long time now.:D
[Android Apps and Games] crachel:
My battery on my DZ lasts an appropriate amount of time but it does this weird thing where it indicates it has 100% charge for several hours before it begins to show 99%, 98%, etc.. will this app help and has anybody seen this before?
[Android Apps and Games] adl:
The app is definitely working: usually i had about 40% left at the end of a day.

After i used your app (also with the suggested draining after wiping the stats and afterwards fully charge while the phone is off) i now have 68% while the phone is 36 hours running. :)

This is with moderate use, just as i did before wiping the stats:

I enable 3g/ (hdspa) only when i need it. I have no syncing going on, do that when i need it, have auto brightness on and display time out to 30seconds.

Wrote some sms, did some phone calls and have yesterday been playing around with bluetooth as i wanted to connect a bluetooth stick with my sgs (which worked but has crappy datatransfer speed).

So far i am pretty happy with the results! :D
[Android Apps and Games] crachel:
Here's my process (Desire Z), I've never calibrated (with this app) before:

Plugged it in with app running it reached 4197 mV but said 99%

I waited a while, it didn't move

So, I unchecked "Wait to 100%" and calibrated at the 4197 mV level

Unplugged and now it says 99% 4208 mV
[Android Apps and Games] nmadd:
I probably did it 3 or 4 times and clicked calibrate after each try.

-Plug in the phone, mV showed 4200, clicked calibrate, unplug and app immediately shows 4194 or the like.

-Plug back in, wait until 4200, clicked calibrate, unplug and app shows...

-I kept doing this until it showed 4200 after I unplugged.

I have no idea if this was helpful or not but I didn't like seeing it drop immediately after unplugging.
[Android Apps and Games] ERamseth:
So I don't know if this is because the calibration isn't set yet or because I have a bad battery or something else altogether, but here's what I've observed so far...

230pm, battery hits 100% at 4185 mV.

Pull usb cord, green light goes off. Voltage reading drops to 4100 mV immediately.

Wait 3-5 minutes, voltage goes up to 4114 mV. Percentage is at 97. This means 100% would correspond to 4241 mV.

65 minutes later, voltage has dropped to 4014 mV. Percentage reads 86. This means 100% would correspond to 4667 mV.

If this battery life use continues, based on change in reported percentage.... In the span of 65 minutes I lost 14% ...? That will give me 7 hrs or so... Pretty bad, seeing as the phone was literally just sitting on my desk.

if you extrapolate battery using 4185 mV as a max, based on voltage drop, the predicted battery life is 26 hrs, which seems a bit high. My guess is that reality is in between somewhere. (using 4100 as a max, it's more like 51 hours)

Can either the voltage or percentage reading be fully trusted, or at least one more trusted than the other?

Oh also if I've done my math wrong, let me know.
