@DeadlyDazza, @Dousan thanks for the info, i think i will also use a spare blank sd.
[Xperia Play General] DeadlyDazza:
How exactly?

Whenever I navigate home away from a running game (such as to check a text) my XP shuts down the game.
[Xperia Play General] dsswoosh:
I read in one of the reviews/specs for the phone that the homescreen and gaming operate independently meaning that when you play games, the homescreen sits in another part of memory or works in another processing thread or something.

The point being made was that whatever app you have open in the homescreen, won't make your games stutter or lag when you are playing them.

Maybe an expert can clarify this.

As for your problem, i can say that something is wrong with your setup for your games to be unloaded out of memory and shutdown when you navigate to the homescreen.

I would imagine you have an appkiller that is setup to close all running apps when you navigate to the homescreen.

I can't stress the importance of not using app killers with the gingerbread o/s. They are not needed, they will not improve performance of the phone, they will not make you battery last longer.

In fact, app killers will make your battery last SHORTER on gingerbread, since you will be using alot more processing power to load and unload them.
[Xperia Play General] DeadlyDazza:
I don't use any app-killers.
[Xperia Play General] dsswoosh:
Do you navigate to your homescreen with the back button, the home button or holding the home button and selecting a new icon?
[Xperia Play General] dsswoosh:
Ok I have just performed 3 tests.

1) Emulator test - had tiger genesis running playing sonic 2. Hit the home button and navigated instantly to home screen. Tiger genesis happily sits in the notification bar. Navigating back to tiger genesis sees it exactly as before I left it.

2) Playstation pocket game crash bandicoot - loaded the game and hit the hom

e key. Same as above. The game sits in the notification bar and returns to the exact state you left it in when you return back to it.

3) Xperia play game Backstab - loaded the game and hit the home key. The game did not sit in they notification bar, but reselecting the game from the xperia play menu put the game onscreen at the exact position I left it from.

I can not re-create your situation where navigating to the homescreen makes the game unload from memory.

I made his post on my xperia play btw and performed each test while making this post. My browser doesn' t even unload from memory.
[Xperia Play General] DeadlyDazza:
Usually just by tapping the home button. I only hold home for hotswitching & only navigate back to quit.
[Xperia Play General] dsswoosh:
So does it only happen with a certain game? All games?

What about apps?

I find it hard to believe that hitting the home key unloads anything from memory unless you have changed some major settings.
[Xperia Play General] DeadlyDazza:
Using Xperia Play games.

If I go to home when playing or paused the game unloads.

Not changed any settings at all.
[Xperia Play General] dsswoosh:
Ok try this and tell me what happens.

- Slide the phone open

- Load Bruce Lee

- Get into an actual fight

- Hit the home key

- Slide the phone down

- Slide the phone up

- Load Bruce Lee

After doing this, my game has paused, but is exactly where i left it. The game did not unload, and therefore did not reload. It was exactly as i left it.

If yours does not do the same, and you havn't changed any settings or are running any app killers, then i suggest you make sure you have the latest revision of firmware and try again.
[Xperia Play General] DeadlyDazza:
Bruce Lee stays in memory ok.

Star Battalion & Dungeon Defenders quit as soon as you hit home.
[Xperia Play General] dsswoosh:
I can confirm that Star Battalion stays in memory after i hit the home screen on my phone.

It shows identical behaviour as Bruce Lee.

When you hit home, and reload the game, the game has paused itself and when you unpause, the game is exaclty as when you left it.

Can't confirm Dungeon Defenders behavious since i do not own it.

If you continue experiencing problems, i would suggest you have faulty memory and request a handset replacement.

[HD Mini General] dwbmb:
Hi there. I have same problem as here Get rid of SMS notification on top status bar on my Mini.

In HTC Sense homesreec, above SMS tab, is still unread SMS count. Im reading SMS messages in that tab, but I have to open it in messaging app to clear notification. Sometimes I have to open all of them since I dont know which one is unread. Can I disable that notification somehow or set it to mark as read when I read it in Sense Home Screen?
[HD Mini General] wensing:
There is a timeout on the SMS tab.

If you have received an SMS and switch to the SMS tab, the counter is only changed when the SMS is shown long enough. If you read quickly and swipe to the next SMS, the timeout is not reached, and the counter not changed.

To quickly show which SMS are not read yet, go to "All messages". You will see an overview of your contacts and the unread messages from these contacts.
[HD Mini General] dwbmb:
Thank you very much, really. You're right, I never reached that timeout before, I'm reading too fast. I'll wait for it now, it's working :)

[HTC Incredible S] knightrocker:
I have been thinking about this for some time now ... How does the htc sense skin changer work? From my experience with android ... A change to framework-res.apk needs a reboot to take full effect ... Like the metamorph app ... It works similarly ... It takes the files from ur sdcard and patches the framework ...

This is where im confused ... To make changes like this ... U need to be rooted and also need to reboot ... And even if it worked the same way wouldnt nand lock just restore it? How is it this skin changer works? If it does work this way ... How the heck does it stay the same ... Or is it like framework-res.apk is an empty shell that has links to the external files?

Could some1 with root please give their framework-res.apk before and after changing the skin? Like from htc to slate or wood ... I want to see what is really happening here ...

Ps if this belongs in the general please could the mod move there? Im extremly sorry if it does ... It is related to root and nand lock so i thought id post here ...
[HTC Incredible S] Hawkysoft:
hmm, when u got temp root check for the rights that are set on the file, on this way you probably get you answer ;)

what i think is that specific files are excluded, so they are editable

btw isnt the skinchanger for the launcher only? than its mostlikely just an xml thats been loaded...
[HTC Incredible S] qvert:
it changes the notification bar too
[HTC Incredible S] vido.ardes:
It's a good question, one I am surprised I didn't wonder... I will pull a part the apk to see if I find anything

It doesn't replace the framework-res, because the battery mod sticks when changing theme, so I presume it overlays it in some way
[HTC Incredible S] Pacjonek:
Please test this app.

http://www.androidblip.com/android-apps/quick-reboot-96948.html

Teoretical this reboot ONLY all android processes and Android Interface but NOT physically phone.

Maybe modified files on partition / and partition /system (eg flamework) will not disappear ...
[HTC Incredible S] knightrocker:
Ok guys i ripped up the frameworks before and after changing skins ... And they were the exact same thing ... It seems that the skin changer overlays the existing looks with the theme ... So no changes to the frameworks ... It just overlaps the.framework images with external ones ...

Wow O_o
[HTC Incredible S] knightrocker:
But where is it mirrored? Could sum1 with some app experice please check the code out? There are two possibilties here ... Either it is mirror from somewhere in the system partition ... So it can bypass nandlock ... Or it is mirrored from the sdcard ... So we can make our own themes even for s-on devices :)

Here skins for Sense 2.0

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=801928

And here for Sense 2.1

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1048894

The Desire HD until it wasn't S-OFF: First temp root then paste modified "framework-res.apk ' to /system/framework, then hot-reboot (eg this app https://market.android.com/details?id=com.grrmode.quickreboot&feature=search_result), and this worked, maybe it's same with Incredible S?
[HTC Incredible S] knightrocker:
No i mean like ... The app dosent even touch the feameworks ... It works from files from somewhere else ... Is that /system or the sdcard? Like if u download an extra skin from the HTC Hub... Where is it stored?
[HTC Incredible S] Pacjonek:
Skins taken from HTC HUB, are simply installing APK to "/data/app".

Flamework-res.apk is in /system/framework to be applied need to reboot the phone. In DHD, when there was no S-OFF helped hot-reboot, it restart android interface but modified files stayed.

APK files modify with eg Winrar
[HTC Incredible S] knightrocker:
So its in /data/app ... Damn ... Hoping it was on the sdcard ... Too bad :)
[HTC Incredible S] Pacjonek:
Skins HTC Sense: these are the files APK that install like any other program in the (/data/app.) It does not require permanent root, and do not delete at reboot:)

But you can move through the application manager to the memory card ...

Today, i did a full wipe and tried to flash the Leedroid 3.03 rom.

But it was stuck on the splash screen for over 20 mins so i decided to forget it and go back to Eddy's Rom. But i have tried that rom, neo's new rom and a modaco rom but all get stuck at splash screen.

Can somepne please help me?
[Desire General] 325i.:
I have tried to flash the modaco and teppic stock 2.2 rom and get the following error;

[Desire General] 325i.:
The only rom that works is redux, seems very strange.

Anyone know what the problem is?
[Desire General] 325i.:
Anyone??

Is there anyway to find out what the phone is doing when stuck on the splash screen?

thanks
[Desire General] daddyspud:
i think ur havin issus with the clockworkmod recovery i would recommand using a fake flash

very easy to do download wat ive uploaded and then go into recovery and select

alpharev cwm recovery == apply sdcard update zip will install a tempory cwm recovery then flash ur rom

clockworkmod recovery === apply update from sdcard will install a tempory cwm recovery then flash ur rom

plus depending on the rom ur tryin to install u may need to change the hboot

use alpharev web site to get the hboot http://alpharev.nl/

and use this utility to flash new hboot must be in fastboot to work

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=13112437#post13112437

to use this utility u need the hboot.img

hope this helps buddy
[Desire General] 325i.:
Thanks, but im currently using AmonRA if that makes a difference.

Do i still need to do this procedure?
[Desire General] d3si:
How do you normally flash your rom? Rebooting and entering recovery via vol down and power on??

If so then download ROM Manager from the market and try using that to flash a ROM.

If that fails then try updating your recovery image via fastboot and flash a different recovery version.

Have you S-off'd and flashed a custom hboot?
[Desire General] daddyspud:
no this sudnt make a difference buddy just try and apply the update zip so that u can flash the rom as some rom require a upto date recovery i use the stock recovery and also use a update zip to install rom that require a lastest recovery
[Desire General] 325i.:
Thanks, so just to double check.

Flash the update.zip that you have uploaded and then flash the rom straight after?

Also i get the following error when i do ADb shell whilst the phone is on the splash screen,

link_image[1995]: failed to link /system/bin/sh

CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE

I have tried using ROM manager but same problem.
[Desire General] daddyspud:
yh just try the way i recommended and one u get the phone booted if u do i would recommend s off or using unrevoked and getting clockwork mod recovery

and im not sure wat the adb shell error is sorry
[Desire General] 325i.:
Sorted now, A member on androidforums helped me out.

So after doing the exchange rate the transformer in the uk comes out at 620usd so as im in the usa until the end of may im going to get one here before i leave the usa

Few quick question that im hoping people can answer..

1, does the charger have the usual 110 to 240v sticker on there?

2, if i cant key the keyboard addon over here im guessing the uk version of the keyboard would be the same?

3, can anyone think of any other compatability issues?

Cheers

2. I cant imagine that they would be different, it would make no sense for them to retool the machines to make different tabs for different markets. If you have the language set correctly i dont see why it wouldnt work just fine. Come to think of it, im not even sure they differentiate(sp?) between us and uk english

3. nope, especially if you root when the method becomes available.

Where did you hear?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chrisjcks:
SGS 3 is reported for release THIS year, sep/oct possible release and the true reason apple try to sue sammy.

Sammy have plans to release a flagship phone every 6 months instead of every year; and apple are crapping theirself, also sammy aint allowing apple full catalogue of their technology for them if rumours are to be believed.

Samsung are developing an edge-to-edge screen that they wont share with apple for iphone 5, abd rumours are apple are looking.at sharp to get an edge to edge screen

But with sammy reportedly releasing a flagship phone every 6 months, the iphone 5 will probably be out-dated before its release, with the galaxy s 3 already surpassing it at the end of this year.

All rumours, but it sounds more like the real reason apple are trying to sue sammy.

With ios falling in market share compared to android, and sammy releasing phones quickly, who'd want an outdated iphone?

Rumours are the galaxy s 3, will have a 1.8-2.0ghz dual core cpu with processing capabilities that closely match a PC.

Role on sammy..... End of iphone is near!

Hmmm that's great news :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] carle5150:

Hello,

I already have the phone s-off with alpharev iso, no problem.

Now I want to make the partitions but I don't get this point, since it is explained nowhere, didnt find how to get there either.

3) Flash HBOOT with your phone in fastboot mode (Back+POWER) -> 'fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img' (change into the correct filename for the HBOOT you downloaded)

How do you even get to type that command in fastboot mode? That is explain nowhere, the thread or howto's or the alpharev site itself.

I just see you have to type those commands and have that image downloaded somewhere, I assume the pc, but it isn't said how.

A little clarification please? Thank you

Ps: Sorry I am still a bit newbie.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghalalb:
You need to start by installing Android SDK. From there you need to place the image in the same folder as the the fastboot.exe where ever that installed. You then need to open an admin cmd prompt, cd to the correct folder and enter the fastboot command as indicated (depending on image used).
