[G1 Android Development] winkerg1:
Hi All

I've done a bit of reading and see a number of different kernels about.

Can someone recommend the best kernel for extended battery life.

I currently get 18hrs out of my G1 running Froyo by Lazlo.

Yesterday I used navigation for a 30minute trip and my battery went from 100% to 15%

Surely this isn't right.

Any help / suggestions are really appreciated.
[G1 Android Development] Namit1994:
Farmatito's kernels are the best I've used. They resolve the battery drain issues and extend battery life.
[G1 Android Development] cmsweet21:
where to see that ? tnx

im using SuperAosp-ST@-DM-6.0 and battery isnt just right i guess
[G1 Android Development] dilwaladoctor:
Alongwith kernel, the phone settings also matter alot.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattman83:
Howdy,

Just been having a play with my galaxy tab and found a dialler code to manually select which network bands the phone will/can use. I was wondering if there's anything similar for desire? I'm running oxygen specifically (if it makes a difference).

Reason for asking is that my provider runs both 850MHz and 2100MHz networks - 850 is MUCH better but the phone seems to pick a network at random.

Cheers :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moscow Desire:
Your phone "should" pick the frequency which is more stronger at the time. If you live on the border of a cow's rear, well, it may fluctuate.

Be thankful you have a signal.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] s3th.g3ck9:
Hey beloved G3 Community,

I wrote an app for changing the theme of your Galaxy 3 easily - this means without computer, cable, Root Explorer, ADB or Terminal Emulator.

Root + Busybox required!

How does it work?

- Put the framework of files of the desired theme to sdcard/Theme

- Check the parts which are included in the theme

- Hit Apply -> Phone will reboot and the theme is on your G3

In v1.0 the app does only support the framework files (framework-res.apk, twframework-res.apk and android.policy.jar).

Changlelog + Screenshot + App in second post.

As usual, no guarantee for bricks, melted phones or your device turning against huminaty. :D

And finally... Do not include this in any ROM without contacting me.

Hope you'll find it usable!

[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] the_one_:
perhaps make it open source so we can help you improving it :) perhaps things like preview would be great so that you can create a folder structure like this:

->Theme Red

framework-res.apk

twframework.apk

->Theme Blue

twframework.apk

[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] pflorin:
great stuff .. yeah it would be nice to have a preview first before applying the actual theme and also add a backup button so you can backup the stock theme in case you want to go back to the old stock theme.

im loving android more and more everyday :) .. iphone sux0rz :)
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] jazux:
the preview will come to GreenMods POX v.1.0 or in 1.1, but its only for POX because you would have to modd the app ;)
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] the_one_:

[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] s3th.g3ck9:
I think in the Erebos thread the porter was saying that some people got stuck with that theme in lestatious... So i think it's the problem of the theme. Maybe you'll try another? ;)
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] hilcro:
Thanks s3th ill give it a go. Havin to flash a new rom gave me a good reason to try out some the new roms:-) but gonna go back to lestatious i thinks irs the best fit for me will try with spectrum theme ;-)
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] askashish:
Awesome App :)
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] s3th.g3ck9:
thx, sir. May i ask with which theme you've used it so far? Or any suggestions for later versions?
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] hilcro:
Is there any way we could change app themes eg dialer activity tab contacts etc from your awsome app. :-)
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] s3th.g3ck9:

[HTC Inspire 4G] capman231:
In Applications under Running Services the line at the bottom of the screen shows: "Other:64M in 4 Avail: 180MB+309MB in 46". Can someone enlighten me on what this means? Haven't been able to find it in the manual.

capman231
[HTC Inspire 4G] kofrad:
I'm not sure about this at all, but my guess on the last bit is 180mb free, plus an additional 309mb that *can* be freed from 46 processes, if needed. The first bit I'm not sure about, maybe untouchable memory?

I've been wondering the same myself, if anyone has a definite answer I'd enjoy hearing it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] capman231:
I think you might be right, I did a restart on the phone and it changed the readings to: "Other:71M in 4 Avail:350M+157M in 37"
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
Just some info about Android and memory:

Android OS manages memory pretty well. I don't believe you should worry about available RAM (if thats what you're worried about). What you should worry about is, if an app is running in the background and using CPU when its not supposed to. You can then use a task killer app if you notice major system slow down to kill the app at fault.
[HTC Inspire 4G] capman231:
I wasn't worried about memory, just trying to understand what the numbers mean. The phone has a pretty good app manager built in I think, it shows all running apps and lets you kill them if you want to. This is my first Android phone and I am trying to learn every thing about it that I can. Coming from iPhones, I must say that the Android OS is impressive and certainly more flexible and user friendly than iOS.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
With that flexibility comes a corresponding increase in the amount of stuff to learn, for sure.

Inspire 4G ¦ XDA Premium
[HTC Inspire 4G] capman231:
That's for sure, but it's also fun and you couldn't ask for a nicer group of people to help you learn than the ones here on XDA
[HTC Inspire 4G] RogerPodacter:
Yes it means xx free with an additional yy readily available to be freed should the OS need it (from cached idle apps).
[HTC Inspire 4G] capman231:
Thanks, that makes sense. Looking at it that way the phone has about 500 Meg of memory available if it needs it, not bad.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
It also depends on how aggressive the kernel manages memory ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] capman231:
Good point mudknot2005, having the right Kernel could be real important in this case. Seems like I have read here on XDA somewhere that Gingerbread 2.3.3 manages memory the best of any of the OS versions yet. According to HTC tech support we should get 2.3.3 sometime this quarter. This is my first Android phone and I really like it, coming from the walled city of Apple. I recently retired after 43 years and I am looking forward to playing with this phone and trying to learn a little bit about Android as I go along.

capman231
[HTC Inspire 4G] RogerPodacter:
if you are rooted you can use an app called min free manager to tweak the stock android OS memory management system. really its find exactly as it is, but its a great thing to learn to better understand how the phone is working.

hey, now I am using the CM7, I found that (it also happened in Vegan), sometime , i press the power bottom, for I want to lock and close the screen. But if i touchthe four keys("search, home, menu, back", most time, the "search", "home", "menu" will not unlock the screen~ but the "back" key will unlock screen every time) in the top right corner, the screen will be unlocked(sometimes, I only click it once, sometimes, maybe 3,4 times, anyway, it is easy to unlock it by these four keys for careless)...

I tried some screen lock app... but still the same situation~

so is there any method which can lock the screen that only the power bottom can unlock it ?

As title says, I can only seem to get 65mpbs out of Wifi N on my XOOM, anybody gotten higher?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZanshinG1:
The most you're going to be able to get is 72mbps under ideal conditions, as the radio cannot do dual-channel N.

I've seen mine train to 72mbps.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alias_neo:
Well I was just reading the spec sheet and it says it does do dual channel and 5GHz too so what am I missing?

Edit: I se that it does MSC7 which is up to 72mbps in the 20mhz and 150 in the 40mhz, no mention in the spec sheet though of whether or not this does 40 or not, although unlikely due to the bluetooth radio it could interfere with. Still, id like it to connect at 72, the router is 2 feet from it.

Pretty poor to only have wifi-n do only 72 ish, nt much better than wifi g.

Macbots drool as I XOOM through the Galaxy to my hearts Desire on the back of a Droid.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sangreal06:
Well it does do 5ghz, but I'm not sure where you see that it supports dual streams? I'm sitting on top of a triple stream wndr4000 and I connect at 72mbps on the 5ghz band like the other poster. My thinkpad has a link speed of 450mbps
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yooper:
Just read this today at the Motorola owners forum, you may find it useful.

Connecting to Wireless N (Explained)

Hi all,

- Xoom supports 5GHz A & N. - It is true that it can not go to 300Mbps rate. I am not aware of any mobile device that can reach this rate. Please let me know if you know one, that would be interesting data. 72Mbps is in the expected range for best N rate.

What may explain why Xoom would not see your 5GHz A or N network (or only use low rate)? - In WiFi Advanced settings, frequency band setting should be "Auto" or "5GHz only" - Your router should broadcast its SSID. (If another device that was never connected to your router can see it, it means this is ok) - Xoom supports only the main channels in 5GHz band: channels are 36 40 44 48 149 153 157 161. Can you try to set your router to one of those channels? - There has been new requirements from WiFi Alliance: we can not support WEP and WPA-PSK in N-mode. This means that if your router is set in N-only mode (does not support A mode), you should set its security to open or WPA2-PSK. If your router is set in A & N mixed mode and WEP or WPA-PSK, Xoom will not use N rates and max rate will be 54Mbps.

Please let us know if any of the above helps or not.

Included In MCR and derivatives from Fr15 onward - No need to patch! :)

Introduction

Removing the LG 'Software Update' function from your phone will give you back 20MB or more of RAM. This app runs all the time and restarts if it's killed. The thing is, if you're running a custom ROM this function will do little for you. It may notify you of an update but no updates will install over the top of your custom rom. And you get all your update notifications from here right? :)

However, simply removing the application package (OmaDmclient.apk) causes a problem with Settings. If the client app is removed the Settings | About Phone menu force closes. You save the 20MB RAM but you have an annoying consequence.

Removing this function provides a ~6% memory boost, a slight reduction in data use and an unquantifiable saving of CPU cycles.​

Details

The relevant code is in Settings.apk, in factory ROM V10a (only some variants?) the OTA code is not active but simply taking the entire Settings.apk from V10a does not work on V10b/c. So what I did to address this:

Reverse engineered Settings.apk from V10a and V10b/c

Extracted code from V10a (java/com/android/settings/DeviceInfoSettings)

Inserted said code into V10b/c, replacing OTA code

Recompiled Settings.apk minus OTA code

Only LG code is included, none of mine, I've just ported it from one version to the next

And this allows the OTA client app to be removed without any negative consequences.​

Compatibility

This is compatible with the LG Optimus 2x only, it will probably break something on the G2x variant.

This mod is not compatible with CyanogenMod for the Optimus 2x (it is unnecessary)

​

Included In MCR and derivatives from Fr15 onward - No need to patch! :)

Download

For Users - ClockworkMod Recovery Update Zip

Compatible with all ROM's based on MCR (MoDoCo) Fr4 and above (this is most at the moment)

Check with your ROM chef and make a backup if you're not sure

Download: LG-P990-OTA-Client-Eater-update.zip

Install from SD card in Recovery (installs new Settings and removes LG OTA client)

Hit Thanks below :)

For Chefs - To include in ROM's

Remove OmaDmclient.apk from /system/app/

Download: Settings-No-OTA-Client.apk

Rename and replace Settings.apk in /system/app/

Test by ensuring Settings | About Phone does not FC

Closer to stock Android one step at a time...

Hi djmcnz

thanks for this mod..

i wanna try it, but i wanna ask before one things,

sorry for this questions maybe are just write in your post, but my english is not perfect, and sometimes i lost some information :)

With this mod we get 392MB or more of RAM or we have always 372 but with 20MB or more of RAM free ?

Thanks
[LG Optimus 2x] djmcnz:
No problem.

It will be 372 with 20MB additional available inside this. So you have the same total RAM but you will be using ~20MB less of it.

Not 392 sorry.
[LG Optimus 2x] emprize:
actually why we just got 372 ram while the spec is 512 mb? wheres the rest?

...speaking of which, is that normal behaviour for the OP2X? Every now & then, Feint will load up for no reason whatsoever.

[LG Optimus 2x] wildgunman:

[LG Optimus 2x] unfnknblvbl:
That's because Android allocates part of the memory to critical functionality, such as graphics and radio. I'm sure with a custom kernel, you could claw back almost all 512MB, but you might have a cry when phone functionality doesn't work, or when 3D breaks...
[LG Optimus 2x] Higgsy:
Originally posted this on Modaco, missed the thread on here:

Flashing his over MCR FR12 has had other beneficial effects for me in speed of the device, couple of examples:

When adding a shortcut to an activity in launcher pro, is would take over a minute to bring up the list of activites - now it is more or less instant

When adding a widget would stall for like 10 secs before showing the widgets list - again more or less instant.

I can't see this is due to the ram saving as I always have plenty of free ram, maybe this service was causing undesirable effects, whichever I don't care as they were 2 of the things that were most niggling me.

Seemed te work,

however:

- Shortcut to "settings" didn't work anymore

- Shortcut to "add shortcut" didn't work anymore

- Probably more issues, However: did speedup the phone !

=> Was able to restore using a backup from the system.

However: don't install this on a stock ROM !

Would be nice to make it possible to apply this update to stock ROM's

It may do, I didn't regression test it of course so I can't rule it out. I would say a relationship is unlikely however I stand to be corrected on this.

Can anybody else test?
