Hw does disabling telephony and phone apks brick a device? So far mine seems fine with them disabled.....?
[Acer Iconia A500] docfreed:
How is your battery life before and after? And, renaming them does nothing unless you reset the Iconia.

What I don't understand is just what kind of reset does this. There's a lot of chatter here but to me a hard reset always meant a complete wipe of the device back to factory default state. Apparently even a "soft reset", i.e., just rebooting will also bork the Iconia so just be careful.
[Acer Iconia A500] kkaytan:
Am I on to something here?

Hi guys, I am a noob here so please dun flame me :)

I actually installed minimalist text onto my A500. I tried to customize my widget,

and when I went into the part where I can customize the activity of clicking my widget, I discovered that the list consist of mobile network settings (It actually consist of the full list of mobile networking settings)

Out of curiosity, I selected the mobile data network setting as my widgets default action. When I went into the setting, the "Data Enabled: Enable data access over Mobile Network" is actually being checked. I had unchecked it, and now my "cell standby" in my battery use has stopped.

Maybe I got it wrong or its just coincidence, but I thought maybe someone else can try it and see whether is it really workable?

I am keeping a look out on the battery statistics; hopefully it really works.
[Acer Iconia A500] docfreed:
Wow! I just went into my Beautiful Weather settings and under the "Advanced Panel" you can specify an action for clicking on the time (or weather). When this is done, it provides a large list of action - this list, to the best of my knowledge, doesn't show up anywhere.

Anyway, Mobile Data was checked (yes or on) so I cleared the list (resulting in mobile data being UNCHECKED) and rebooted. Mobile data remained unchecked so I'll watch for a while and report results later.
[Acer Iconia A500] kkaytan:
Yeah the list didnt show up anywhere unless we went to customise widget setups like what we did. Lets see how things goes!

And it seems as though the mobile network settings etc is hidden due to the fact that our A500 is wifi only?
[Acer Iconia A500] _motley:
Thanks for the info, trying this now...
[Acer Iconia A500] abats:
So is there any widget that can disable this option? I don't know what ' minimalist text' is so.
[Acer Iconia A500] butterflygirl:
wouldn't disabling this for a widget, just affect the widget and not the general tab settings? Or does it bring up system settings like co-pilot when it wants you to enable GPS?
[Acer Iconia A500] _motley:
It's actually called "Minimalistic Text"...I couldn't find it at first either. There are other apps and widgets that will work as well if they allow this type of launching features (and show these system apps in the launch list).
[Acer Iconia A500] rorytmeadows:
Anyone know how to edit "init"? From what I've read, it's similar to msconfig for startup services.
[Acer Iconia A500] _motley:
See my post in the other thread where you asked about this...this should help you understand as well as some apps that can be used for this. It's probably not this simple as other events (receivers, i.e. listeners, handlers etc.) will trigger causing these core apps to still restart or recover when the OS sees they are no longer running. There are other core services that sit beneath and work in conjunction, so I don't think simply taking them out of the init process is feasible.
[Acer Iconia A500] docfreed:
Disable Autosync/Mobile Data Battery Results

OK, I disabled "Mobile Data" by using the Beautiful Widgets settings as noted a few posts above. I also disabled autosync data. Since then,

the "Cell Standby" has stuck at about 8-9% with total battery dropping by only 1-2% over an hour.

FWIW, I believe that the Iconia tries to sync data very often and this uses the battery. Also, in both Froyo and Gingerbread, Google did not bother to distinguish "Cell Standby" which is a phone app, from normal "Tablet Idle" - it maybe that what we are seeing labeled as "Cell Standby" is nothing more than artifact, i.e., it's really "Tablet Idle"
[Acer Iconia A500] atomicwedgie:
Even in airplane mode, cell standby has consumed 32% battery. :-!
[Acer Iconia A500] Budadank:
I would have agreed with you there, if there wasn't also a "Tablet Idle" in the list already... look a bit further down ;-)
[Acer Iconia A500] Budadank:
Just looking through the Settings menus available through Minimalistic Text. There's a few hidden engineering menus as well as a SIP configuration screen. There's also a Band options menu but it's for UMTS/CDMA not WiFi.
[Acer Iconia A500] _motley:
OK, I charged up completely after changing the setting. After unplugging and going back on battery, I still have the standby listed and consuming as much as it was before, so I don't think this is the answer. IMO, the issue is much deeper and this app simply stops apps from using the mobile network for data access to to save on charges. This setting doesn't seem to stop the phone services at a lower level from polling for a connection.
[Acer Iconia A500] docfreed:
So far I've only seen people rename/freeze, etc telephony and phone apk's - does anyone know if we also have to do this for telephonyprovider apk - I seem to remember that on my WiFi only Galaxy Tab I also had to do this in order to turn off Cell Standby?
[Acer Iconia A500] agentdax5:
Don't, it bricks your tablet on reboot.
[Acer Iconia A500] rorytmeadows:
It bricks on hard reset, maybe. Mine has been fine rebooting. I've done it 15 times since renaming.
[Acer Iconia A500] docfreed:
Well, how often are we really going to hard reset (assuming that means return to factory default condition)?

Can I make two assumptions:

1. Renaming phone, telephony and telephonyproviders apk's actually minimizes/turns off "cell standby"?

2. These are the only changes needed?
[Acer Iconia A500] rorytmeadows:
Well, that's a great point. I'm not going to be doing a lot of testing and environment changes until ROMs are out, so is it really a big deal?
[Acer Iconia A500] docfreed:
So what you're seeing is that you can rename the files, thereby saving the battery and killing cell standby, and you're able to reboot (which I do occasionally to clean up after

a lot of install/deinstalls, etc.) and no issues. Well, that's for me
[Acer Iconia A500] rorytmeadows:
I renamed the files, then as soon as I did the phone one, I received a popup error that I just couldn't get rid of. So I powered off the device, then powered it back on and the error was gone.

I've powered off then powered on many times since then. Never a problem. I have never hit the reset button (just because it's a pain without a stylus around) and I have never hard reset my device.
[Acer Iconia A500] mr_wrong_0:
Widgetsoid should do the same thing and its available for tablets.
[Acer Iconia A500] ghoernersr:
my two cents

Just thought I'd share with everyone. You don't have to freeze phone or telephonyProvider, simply freezing Mobile Data will do it. After freezing, phone will FC, requiring a reboot, but since the reboot, everything is working fine, and cell standby is no longer in the list of things draining my battery. Hopefully this helps someone out. I'm posting this from the Iconia right now. If things change, I will post an update.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] tfotos:
I have an old Motorola D1 that I do not use anymore. It has been rooted and rommed (I forgot which rom has been flashed onto it though). It also has a 16gb sd card in it that I want to use for my Nook Color. If I pull that card out of the D1 and format it, have I doomed the D1 to brickness or will everything be good to go? I was going to keep my D1 as a back up in case anything happens to my Samsung Fascinate. I thank you in advance for info. Cheers. :D
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] skadude66:
I wouldn't think so.. I removed my SD card to partition it, and my Milestone is just fine ever since.

Hello, i know that it is possible to install, arm ubuntu on a arm tablet and run Transmission in it..

Am not a linux expert and dont know how to build or compile, but if u can install a non gui deb, in ARM ubuntu, should on then not be able to install it an andoid widout the ubuntu pacs?

I want to install Transmission demon server on my transformer and acces if via a transmission gui, set to localhost.. Some one know if this is possible?

Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seshmaru:
At the moment no, but why not use one of the torrent clients made for android?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] entropin:
Some of my private torrent sites only accepts serten apps, eq utorrent and transmission.

I believe you, but can u try to explain to me why? what pice of the puzzle am i missing?

No need for me to try leran how to cross compile? :D
[Galaxy S II General] ro-mann:
NOTE: donations will be deposited directly to the DEV that comes up with a proven working ROM

[OP] will keep the To Be Donator list updated frequently as people pledges their donation.

The Samsung Galaxy S2 is one of the best and maybe the most powerfull phone at the moment. It will surely be a very popular phone. We really need to get the most popular Custom ROM, CyanogenMod on the device.

This is a bounty thread for developers who are able to provide a stable CM7+ CyanogenMod ROM for the Samsung Galaxy S2

I'm gonna start with $20

Please write the amount you are willing to donate in this thread.

Bounty: $3394

Go here for a list of all donators.

There are Nightly Builds available for the SG2 now.
[Galaxy S II General] ragiut1:
Put me in for $50

This is how much i hate touchwiz :)
[Galaxy S II General] psb07158:
Im in UK, but ill donate the equivalent of $30.

I hate TouchWiz too. CM would be awesome...if not CM then just any stock Android ROM.
[Galaxy S II General] MoonRaven:
I'm a poor student so $5

(when it is ported, please send a pm regarding it, I'll probably forget)
[Galaxy S II General] vinokirk:
$10 here......

If fully hardware accelerated that is :)
[Galaxy S II General] Sckank:
$20 here, but hardware acceleration is a must!
[Galaxy S II General] pigglett:
$20 here too :)
[Galaxy S II General] hacksome:
CM with working camera, Voodoo Sound and comparable battery life - will earn a $20 from me :)
[Galaxy S II General] Stitch!:
FYI, you can just get a different launcher instead of touchwiz, but CM7 doesnt have the hardware acceleration that samsung has in several apps (including the browser) Trust me, browsing will never be as fast with CM as it is with samsungs tweaks. With the SGS1 there was a lot to tweak, but samsung learnt from its mistakes. (see ext4 by default, no bootlock, flash, better gps, etc)

I will put down another 10 only if it will be custom cm made for the sgs2, incorporating all the current hardware accelerations. (which will be unlikely since CM uses android source and not samsung source)

Just look at the difference in quality between custom 2.3.3 roms based on official firmware and cm7.1 for SGS1..

Edit: Please note in OP that my donation requires samsungs tweaks in browser acceleration etc and audio/video codex. (this is not the case for the SGS1, my reason not to use cm7/miui) (nice everyone is updating their post with these requirements, im not the only one!)
[Galaxy S II General] ro-mann:
I put down your offer, because we all want the full experience with hardware acceleration, if possible.
[Galaxy S II General] djsaad1:
As much as I like CM, I got really used to MIUI. I am really hoping for an MIUI port.
[Galaxy S II General] ro-mann:
Good for you, but that doesn't belong in the bounty thread
[Galaxy S II General] ragiut1:
MIUI is based on CM

GS2 cant get MIUI unless it gets CM first
[Galaxy S II General] AllGamer:
ok, who is going to be the main lead in this operation, and what are your plans to handle the donations?

and who / where is the donation going to

we need all that answered before we can approve this [BOUNTY] otherwise this is going to be locked down real soon
[Galaxy S II General] dolphinpromotions:
Go on then I will donate $50 too.
[Galaxy S II General] ro-mann:
Well, I wanted to know here how to get CM support for the Samsung Galaxy S2, someone suggested that I should open a Bounty Thread.

If we got a large enough amount together and a dev is interested in programing CM for the S2 then we would donate the money via paypal. I would write to every participant in this thread and check with the dev if he received the money. Would that be ok with you?
[Galaxy S II General] pulser_g2:
I would suggest from past bounties that the best way to do this would be to keep this going "as is" and wait until a developer has produced such a ROM, and then users can choose to donate to them via their donate link. The OP can be edited to reflect this and point them to the person who got it running on the device.

Since it's not done yet though, no money should be getting paid around (for your own protection since it might not happen), and there will obviously be no specific recipient at this point until the task is achieved...
[Galaxy S II General] ro-mann:
Well, that's ok with me. So we'll keep collecting donators until a dev comes up with a ROM. :)
[Galaxy S II General] RogerPodacter:
it's pretty obvious that samsung DOES have the browser hardware accelerated. i know the original galaxy s got updated by samsung to do the same hardware graphics update. but how do we know for sure, is there any official info on this?
[Galaxy S II General] bigmo7:
Get LauncherPro then? :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] Major_Sarcasm:
I should be getting my SGS2 on Monday. Been using CM7 on my HD2 for a while and it's bloody great.

$20 from me, hardware accelerated please.

[Galaxy S II General] simondavies315:
I would also like to donate $20 to the dev that is willing to produce and maintain a stable version of cyanogen mod. I would also like hardware acceleration if this is plausible.
[Galaxy S II General] jay_993:
AOSP started by RyanZA.

That means development from there and hopefully CM7/MIUI etc soon :D
[Galaxy S II General] Gropen:
10 Dollars here. CM7 or CM8 :) with Hardware acceleration!
[Galaxy S II General] mobiledodo:
First, people on this board! I'm new here :)

Second, I'm up for 40,- USD in the pot! (stable/hardware acc/video etc)
[Galaxy S II General] chaugi:
$10 from me, if it is fine probably more $10
[Galaxy S II General] fromq8:

[Galaxy S II General] akgrown:
I'm in for $20. Lack of CM support is my only hesitation in leaving my N1.
[Galaxy S II General] DopyG:
From cyanogenmod site:

"CyanogenMod is an aftermarket firmware for a number of cell phones based on the open-source Android operating system. It offers features not found in the official Android based firmwares of vendors of these cell phones."

In other words it is a custom rom with features that SGS 2 don't have stock.

You can read about it here:

I will put in $40 to buy charansingh a sgs2... not for cm7.

don't get me wrong but I do want cm7, but this bounty is a bit a pipe dream. charansingh is the guy to get this done, and the fastest way to get a usable and stable cm7 on the sgs2 is to buy charansingh one;)
[Galaxy S II General] simondavies315:
Can everyone start donating to charansingh so he can buy a samsung galaxy s2 and we can get a working cyanogen mod
[Galaxy S II General] int_19h:
If you want to donate to him, then just do so - there's a PayPal donate link in his sig. Just sent $50 that way myself.

(my earlier pledge for whoever implements CM7 remains intact)
[Galaxy S II General] stian230:
Seriously it is $ 2055 in the pot! We can buy two SGS2 and send them to Steve*Kondi and buy some beers as we are waiting for him to finish it...
[Galaxy S II General] simondavies315:
Is this Guy Steve actively working on the Rom? If so where is his PayPal link listed?

We also need video codecs so we can play .avi files for example as well as hardware acceleration
[Galaxy S II General] DrakeSlayer:
good luck i hope it will be ported till i get my device !
[Galaxy S II General] gibsonus:
This is getting confusing. Charansng or Steve???

I'll give $20 based on this from the first post:

NOTE: donations will be deposited directly to the DEV that comes up with a proven working ROM

[OP] will keep the To Be Donator list updated frequently as people pledges their donation.

Only if someone notable posts and says they'll do it and need some cash upfront and everyone agrees will I donate before it's done. Perhaps the thread starter could contact some of the suggested devs and ask if they'll do it?
[Galaxy S II General] simondavies315:
I'm wondering the same thing here have any dev's confirmed they will definitely work on it?
[Galaxy S II General] ro-mann:
No, Charangsingh has said that he might work on it at the beginning of June. So we'll wait until someone comes up with a stable Rom, as stated in the beginning of the thread.

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S2
[Galaxy S II General] Locster126:
I also think the donations should be made to the dev who comes up with a working cm7 rom first rather then donating to someone to "force" him to use the phone and port a cm7 like he is "working" for us.

That will just cause pressure and issues in the long run I believe, people will just assume that since they bought him/her the phone and he/she will have to do everything they ask for.
[Galaxy S II General] charnsingh_online:
First thing I'll do is get the base ready for vendor. Don't need a device for that just some output from it that anyone can give. The next is getting it booted foe which either I have an experienced person or a device. I'll go with experienced person unless no one is able to tell what I want them to tell without difficulty like I don't want to teach them every single bit how to do. Rest working stuff is later. Hardware acceleration wont work until honeycomb source code is out
[Galaxy S II General] rheza02:
@charnsingh_online

i can help you for experienced person. and i think many of us here, can help you with that. :), when we can start. ?

and may i ask, why we need honeycomb source code for this ?

[Galaxy S II General] ro-mann:
Hardware acceleration will be possible once Honeycomb source code is released.
[Galaxy S II General] MrADeveci:
Like with all phones the CM team supports, unless one of the dev team owns the phone or has access to one, it's going to be difficult to come up with a working rom.
[Galaxy S II General] Westi01:
Let's spend the Bounty to the CM Devs for a SGS2 Device and the problem is solved ;)

Edit: SatanR1, in your signature it looks like you have a Samsung Galaxy S2 :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] MrADeveci:
Yes, I do. CM7 is running on my N1.
[Galaxy S II General] Westi01:

[Galaxy S II General] Westi01:
I think we should Talk to Cyanogenmod devs to buy them a device as SatanR1 said, they are developing on every android phone they get.
[Galaxy S II General] ro-mann:
Can anyone establish contact to the CM devs?
[Galaxy S II General] Westi01:
I think it is very easy to connect CM Devs through they Forum or IRC channel, but I could try to contact Cyanogen. My english is not perfect but I think I can make our concern clear :)

Edit: Just to verify our deal :D We donate the Bounty to CM and they are buying a SGS2 and start developing CM for it, right ? Maybe SatanR1 could also talk to Cyanogen...
[Galaxy S II General] Razer(x):
That's a bad idea, they haven't finished CM7 for SGS yet
