Thanks :) .. Both tests (Quadrant and Battery) done with Stock kernel ... No overclock ... Indented to make it less confusing

Err ... nothing in my inbox yet :confused:
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] ungaze:
lol that's cause you're too quick to check. Anyway message sent.

you only mentioned 2 apps that you removed(from stock I presume). Is that everything you removed?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] k4ce:
^ Yes, for now I have removed only those two apps ... Want to check what other apps keep popping up in the task manager before removing them ...
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] optimusgenesis:
hello

i think ur rom has a fantastic battery life, but i realised that the RAM is very low. are u sure u zipaligned properly? :O
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] k4ce:
whoa ... didnt know anyone was still using this ROM ... yes, it is zipaligned just fine ... I never encountered issues with low RAM ... thanks
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] optimusgenesis:
haha okay haha just wonderin anw, it seems like my battery can actually increase with this rom why? :O

Hi people,

i am looking for android Apk which i can use as a gamepad/joystick for my PC.

I have Googled around a bit, and i have found softwares like a droidpad. but i think it is not sufficient.

I want to convert my android device(HTC Desire 2.29) into a touch screen gamepad, like a sony gamepad, to playgames on my PC...is that possible.

And please, try not to flame me with comments like:

-whata a stupid idea...or ffs why would you do that when you can buy gamepad for 10EUR...etc

Thank you in advance

I followed the instruction on rooting and stopped on Run chmod 755 exploid it says that no directory or file found and nothing is works after it. What could be a problem.

I will appreciate if some body would help.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brenardo:
I have used adfree for a long time and never had any issues until the TB. For some reason the ads are still all over the place. I have updated host files and all I know to do... any suggestions?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shock2sys:
i'm assuming that you're rooted, right? i'd verify that your hosts file in /etc has entries other than for the local host.

alternatively, you could try using dolphin hd with the ad-blocker add-on.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yareally:
open the /system/etc/hosts file on your android phone via the command line or with a file explorer (must be rooted and have write permissions for /etc/system/hosts)

add the ad server list from http://pgl.yoyo.org/adservers/ to the file

(if you change the IPs to 0.0.0.0 instead of 127.0.0.1, the ads will be killed faster, since they wont die in the loopback with 127.0.0.1, since 0.0.0.0 is an invalid address)

If you find ad server lists from elsewhere, add it to the file and filter out extras doing a unique sort on it. I normally keep the same list on my desktop/laptop and phone and add to it as I go using something like live http headers in firefox to find new ad servers

On a linux box you can do a unique sort with:

sort -u oldFileName > newFileName

Here is my list of adservers I block from found lists and ones I added myself.

[Nook Color General] NetForce-TX:
I recently purchased a Nook Color just for the purpose of root / rom'ing it.

No problem there - CM7 and loving it.

So much so, my Mom has now gone out and bought one - asking that it get the ROOT/ROM treatment.

Not a problem.

It's still in the sealed box - and I was thinking this would be a perfect candidate / time to do a full backup of the Virgin system, just to have for ease of reverting should service / return be needed.

I saw in the Dev section someone posting a multi partition full backup of a virgin 1.01 - but no steps on how it was done.

I've got a pretty good idea (bootable CWM) - but wanted to make sure of the steps so I dont forget something / partitions / etc.

Anyone able to give me a hand?

Mom's chomping at the bit for it - and I dont know how long I can keep this nookie a virgin :eek:

Thanks in Advance.
[Nook Color General] fpga_guy:
Monsterroot pack

I had a similar request. In my case, I used Autonooter 3.0 with BN ROM 1.1.

Because I didn't change the partition size, I just created a CWM bootable on SD using MonsterRoot 0.7 and created the backup on the SD card.

I used Autonooter because the friend wanted to keep the stock BN reader and also wanted to used the Nook user manual.
[Nook Color General] NetForce-TX:
I figure I just need to make an SD bootable CWM... that part is easy / well documented.

What I'm fuzzy on is:

Can I boot to CWM SD right out of the box?

No Root - first power on boot straight to CWM and back up the unregistered (virginal) 1.1 Nook OS

If so - I'm fuzzy on what / how to back up "all" the partitions....

I am familar with backing up the current rom and restoring it.

Just need to know how I back up each partition, so I get a full image.

Thanks in advance.

[G1 General] klaatukev:
My apologies if my thread manners are off. Please feel free to move this post to the appropriate spot (and please reply telling me what the general rules are) if I'm posting this in the wrong place. I'm a relative noob when it comes to flashing ROMs, though I have tried about 12 in the past few weeks after I finally rooted my G1. Thus, I think XDA won't let me respond in the specific Rom forum because I haven't written enough posts (this is my first) or something.

Anyway, I have a few questions about this ROM and its settings after flashing it on my G1 last night. For clarity & redundancy, I am running "SUPERFROYO V8.4 Update 11/01/10." I downloaded and installed it last night (Sunday, April 10th, 2011- in the event there is a newer one available after I post this)

I have not installed the battery saver yet, though I plan on doing so once I figure out the answer to my more pressing question:

QUESTION SETUP:

I know the main issue that plagues the G1 is its ridiculously low internal memory, but according to the Phone storage settings page, I still seem to have roughly 8 megs of internal memory left for apps. I've moved a number of apps to the SD card, but the phone keeps telling me that my internal storage is low anyway. I never got these warnings unless I had roughly 1 meg or less left when I was running stock 1.6 Android (before and after rooting it in mid March).

ACTUAL QUESTION: Is there some setting I can tweak within the ROM, or app I can download to allot more internal memory for apps? Failing that, is there a way to change the warning threshold to more closely match stock 1.6 Android's threshold on the G1? I'm thinking that Froyo has a different idea of "low phone storage" than the stock ROM because newer phones all have assloads more memory available, and that I might be able to tweak that setting somewhere. Unfortunately, a lot of the pre-installed system management apps on this ROM are in Spanish, and it's been over a decade since I took Spanish. I could go through the menu options and attempt to translate, but I'm hesitant to delve into a new program that is ALSO in a foreign language.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, I would like to thank the entire XDA community for all of their efforts and support for users. Finally, I would like to tip my hat to the unlockr community for their entry-level tutorials. Thanks again.
[G1 General] skat325is:
I think you forgot to mention this, and i dont see you have no signature with your specs, radio, boot etc...

But did you partitioned your SDcard with the correspondent EXT/SWAP/FAT32 paritions ??

Also the developer on that ROM (superatmel) doesnt give support to his ROM is if isnt within the forum where he orignaly releases his work.
[G1 General] BeenAndroidized:
Make sure you install the 15MB-boot from the DEV site. it will give you and additional 15MB.

Also, turn on Apps2SD option in the SupSetup. Then you can move apps to SD.

Depending on the size of your SD card, if you have 8GB SD, I would recommend the setting on my sig.
[G1 General] ldrifta:
yeah that sounds about right.. you either didnt partition correctly or some how some way you forgot to do a wipe but still got the rom to flash, which would amaze me so i doubt it.. but i would recommend re partitioning your sd, my pref.. swap128mb ext1024mb(1g) and also do a reflash of the rom but be sure to wipe EVERYTHING and i mean everything.. it doesnt hurt to clean out the system completely every once in a while.. besides that flash the ram hack and do whatever else you normally do try keeping widgets to a minimum.. regardless wat rom it jus always helps to keep a nice clean home screen but dont be scared to make it look nice.. (contradicted myself a lil there lol) anyways good luck and happy flashing i hope this helped...
[G1 General] ldrifta:
also try wiping your cache from the browser.. not sure if you surf the web alot but it builds up pretty fast try to stay on top of that lol hope it helps you out
[G1 General] acollinsjr:
BEST SETTINGS for Super Froyo

I did some research on compcache settings and vm heap settings so I can know what they're intended for. Upon doing so, I found it is best to disable compcache and increase vm heap to max then reboot as instructed by the rom being used. This made my super froyo run superfast compared to when the vm heap was at its default setting. Also, where Linux Swap is concerned, it is best to have a 50% swappiness and the 64mb swap partition on the sd(I actually have about 80 something mb swap, but thats just me). Maybe these settings wont work for you but they definitely worked for me. Give it a shot and see!

[G1 General] acollinsjr:
Scratch what I said about...

...setting the vm heap to the max. Instead, set it to the lowest possible setting and that will make this rom much snappier. I've been playing around with the settings non-stop and found this to be the best. Also, what would really help this rom is to use Firerats MTD Hack and repartition the devices internal memory partitions in order to better suit the roms performance.

[TG01 Themes and Apps] gghiq:
Hello TG01 users,

I am using miROM7 which is based on 6.1

The lockscreen is kind of ugly.

Does anyone know a nice lockscreen app? I have been searching and did not really find something.

It must be a pin enabled lockscreen as activesync requires that for over-the-air sync with exchange server.

thanks for hints.
[TG01 Themes and Apps] olyloh6696:
S2U2 + Thottlelock are excellent!

S2U2 - an iphone lock screen simulator pin support

Throttlelock - and android style lock screen

check them out!
[TG01 Themes and Apps] gghiq:
Thanks I have tried those. I think I was not clear in my original post.

What I really would need is kind of a fancy extension of the os lockscreen.

The os lockscreen has to be enabled otherise I cannot sync with exchange server.

And to have two lockscreens (the os one is a must) is not handy.
[TG01 Themes and Apps] drupad2drupad:
+1 on this. I think I mentioned this issue earlier on feropont's 6.1 ROM thread too!

But don't think TG01 forum has the answer for it. Looking into threads from Winmo forums, I summarized that there are no such app/tweak/skin that can make 6.1 lockscreen beautiful. You can add other lock screen apps, but the 'ugly' lockscreen will still pop up everytime you have to enter the PIN because of Exchange Policy restrictions!
[TG01 Themes and Apps] gghiq:
Thanks drupad2drupad,

your reply "solves" it to me.
[TG01 Themes and Apps] drupad2drupad:
No worries at all, but there is a work around for it though.

You can make the 'lock time' longest in order to avoid entering PIN every time phone sleeps.

What I do is, change time to 24 hours on my 6.1 ROM, so I have to enter PIN only ONE time in ONE day! That isn't that bad is it? ;)

So typically you will only see the UGLY SCREEN if you don't use your phone for 24 hours continuous - when was the last time you din't use your phone for 24 hours continuous? ;) NEVER! :D - Therefore, you will NEVER EVER see UGLY screen lock!!

Then you can use any cool looking themes ideally S2U2 as it consumes less RAM, and enjoy your phone :D
[TG01 Themes and Apps] nikola92:
Yea S2U is best lockscreen app working on tg01 i tried a lot but this one really works and i don't have 2 locks. I was little bit wondering why none of wp7 locks don't work :confused:
[TG01 Themes and Apps] gghiq:
Hello drupad2drupad,

thanks for that idea. I can only see a drop down menu which offers me 5 minutes as the longest interval before the phone locks! How did you get 24 hours?
[TG01 Themes and Apps] drupad2drupad:
That's strange! I guess it's probably down on what ROM we use.

I am using 6.1 clone by feropont at the moment. I will upload the screenshot in few minutes.. It gives me up to 24 hours. The options I get are:

0 min

1 min

5 mins

15 mins

30 mins

1 hour

1.5 hours

2 hours

12 hours

24 hours
[TG01 Themes and Apps] drupad2drupad:
do you mean wp7 'themed' lock screens? like - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=768330

There are couple in WM forums that do work but with a little lag on 6.5 and 6.1. Most wp7 themed locks work nicely on 6.5.x
[TG01 Themes and Apps] drupad2drupad:
Ok found a reg heck - try this:

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" then

"Comm" then

"Security" then

"LASSD" then

"AE" then

"{50C1337-C66D-400C-889E-C316FC4AB374}" then

change "AEFrequencyType" from whatever value there to "2" then

change "AEFrequencyValue" from whatever value there to "0" then TRY changing that 0 to 240 or something (that number represents minutes so you can also do 24x60 = xxx minutes in that box to get 24 hours!)
[TG01 Themes and Apps] drupad2drupad:
Here you go - the screen shot of available times!
[TG01 Themes and Apps] gghiq:
thank you for your help. Tried the reg edit but did not work. I still can pick only 5 minutes as longest interval.

regards, gg
[TG01 Themes and Apps] drupad2drupad:
I think it's different either from server to server or from ROM to ROM.

That ROM is feropont's 6.1 clone. I am not sure what ROM you are on.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] MrRusch:
I made this tool originally for SonyEricsson Xperia X10, but have now modified it to work for our Galaxy Tab, best suited for deodexed ROMs. I hope it will make life a little easier when modifying files on the device. It uses ADB to pull and push files, so users don't need to remember long command prompt/terminal emulator commands anymore. It also has a nifty little application manager, which allows for quick installation, backup, and removal of both pre and self -installed software. It has a LogCat function to read and save logs on the go when investigating errors, as well as functionality to decompile/recompile, sign and zipalign APKs and JARs.

Instructions:

1. Extract archive.

2. Run GalaxyTabModTool.jar

Note: Make sure your phone is connected in debug mode, you have root privileges, and unsecured your device's shell.

The application will try to unsecure your shell if you haven't already, but worst case scenario you might have to do this manually. Also, the manage ROMs functionality is still experimental and has therefore been disabled.

If you have problems, let me know and I will try to sort them out with you. Keep in mind that often when a modification goes wrong, you can simply push back the original files and reboot. So keep backups handy!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
Looks good, won't run on Ubuntu though. Any chance it will?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] af974:

Unforunately i'm having a problem with the attached .apk, basicaly when i try to decompile it, your tool does stop.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] nobleskill:
Thank you good sir.. Button pressed, download started... Will report back..
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] MrRusch:
Sorry no plans for this now at least.

Yeah you are correct. Some files need to have dependencies attached for APKTool to extract properly. I will try and implement this functionality in next version.

This is very useful and will definitely save a lot of time during post-flash setup

[Nexus S Accessories] EonHawk:
So I just got my Nexus S yesterday, I love it, but... right about now, I'm feeling extremely dumb. Either that, or I have a horrible ear canal for listening to music.

I've tried everything to get the earbuds that came with the Nexus S to stay in my ear, but it just won't work. I've even watched YouTube videos to figure out how to get it to fit my ear. Something's wrong. No matter how deep in the ear canal I stick the earbuds, they won't stay for longer than 5 seconds. The slightest movement causes them to fall off.

Am I doing something wrong, or is this a common problem?

Is there a way to reduce the radius on the earbuds so I can try fitting them better in my ear? I really want to start using these standard headphones. They look extremely nice, and the rubber tips really enhance the sound, at least for the few seconds I manage to hold it in my ear. I don't want to go back to using my crappy Motorola ones. Help!
[Nexus S Accessories] KidCold:
I was like this at the start when i first started to use in-ear earphones. I had to kinda force them into my ears. It was annoying at first but now its natural. Dunno if you are the same as me though :P
[Nexus S Accessories] g2theno:
same problem here! I cant figure those damn things out lol. I had to go back to my iphone headset.
[Nexus S Accessories] Finom:
What headphone models have been comfortable for you?
[Nexus S Accessories] Haadkoe:
Had this same problem with the last few handsets I've had. The solution I found was to get some of those foam pads for the earbuds. The friction between the foam and your skin keeps the earbuds solidly in your ear. Without the foam, my earbuds constantly fell out which drove me insane.
[Nexus S Accessories] AllGamer:
i have small ears too, i hate ear buds headphones as it causes a lot of pain after 15 min when using over sized ear buds, which are "normal" sizes for big ear peoples

very few products over mini ear buds (normal sizes for us), like a couple of Sony Bluetooth headsets i found in the past.

so i always use headsets that have an ear hook
[Nexus S Accessories] maltloaf:
I find the cable causes the most problems, If I have the cable exiting downwards, I cannot push the earbud in far enough. The only way to get a good fit is to turn them upside down and have the cables looped over the top of my ears.
[Nexus S Accessories] EonHawk:
Do you mean those black foam pads that used to come with iPods? Do you know where I can find one nowadays? Or is there an easy way to improvise?

And thanks for the response guys, assured me that I'm not the only one to have problems with earbuds.
[Nexus S Accessories] suksit:
If you're using in-ear headphones there are 2 solutions:

Comply Foam Tips - Super comfortable but a little bit too expensive for me considering you have to change them every month (or two).

Sony Hybrid Tips Comes in 4 different sizes so you can mix-and-match if your ear canals are not the same size. Very comfortable and durable.

NOTE: There are some "Replacement Sony Silicone Ear Tips" on eBay, most (or all) of them are not the genuine ones. Quality wise is OK but the material is harder than original Sony Hybrid Tips so they may not as fit and comfortable as the real ones.

[Nexus S Accessories] kms108:
you can get some rubber ear bud, the one that came standard is too big for me, so i got some sony ones, they are quite expensive, but you can get the non sony one's, works just as good, but much cheaper.

non sony one set USD 0.64

sony from most country set of 3 (S.M.L) USD 10

sony from japan two set either XS, SS, S, M, L and other sizes in between USD 5.75
[Nexus S Accessories] zedomax:
Try

I am an earbud addict, try these J3Ms: http://earbudreview.org/earbud-reviews/jbuds-j3j3m-earbud-review/ They come with different earbud pieces so if you have a big ear (it seems like), then you can swap them out for the big earbud pieces.
[Nexus S Accessories] EonHawk:
Thanks for all the suggestions guys, but is there anything I can do with these default ones?
[Nexus S Accessories] kms108:
as mention, get some new earpads.

Charging over usb from my macbook pro (5.5) to my optimus 2x is very, very slow. In fact, if I'm using the phone while charging it more often than not is actually discharging.

Yeah, I know. Wall charger is 1000 ma and usb is 500 ma. It's not half, it's a tenth or less.

EDIT: I have a usb backup battery(rated at 500ma) and this charges much, much faster.
