Can any Dev port this Honeycomb theme from CDMA hero? since its same resolution it would not be hard rite?

so can any Dev kind enuf to help? Here the source link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=965216 :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] dully79:
Don't take this the wrong way but you don't need a dev to port a theme. The few devs that we have are busy developing roms, let themers theme.

Also theres theme porters available if you do a search. Sorry I cant post links I'm in work on my phone. Or do a little reading and learn how to port/create them yourself.

Theres a link in my sig if you want to learn.

If you need any guidance post back and ill try and help :)

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ethanpil:
Hi,

I hope this isnt a stupid question. I tried searching first but can't seem to find this exact question. From my understanding, by Rooting a device, I provide myself with Root access to modify system files and scripts.

My question is, in theory, just like in any other linux, if I was to get root access (SU) and modify system files (for example the wpa_supplicant fix) and then unroot, shouldnt it keep my rooted changes when I am out of the superuser?

So, what I am asking is, "Is it possible to Root my xoom, make a few quick fixes like the WPA_supplicant and the SD card driver, and then unroot, keeping the changes persistent, but not the rooting? Or, am I misunderstanding a fundamental principal?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kcarpenter:
I'm not 100% sure why you would want to unroot. If there are other changes that need to be made in the future to the device, you would need to run root scripts again and it adds steps to the process - Adding greater complexity, greater complexity = greater risk.

In theory your changes should stay, because you only need to root permissions when actually writing to that part of the filesystem and as long as it is not something that needs to be reapplied on boot - it should be able to so what it needs to do.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ethanpil:
the reason is because, in theory, it wouldnt look "rooted" so if I need service, it should pass the test...

also, I thought that it would allow the updates to still come in...

would these things not be affected?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kcarpenter:
Updates definetly won't. Happen if the file structure has bee modified. Regardless of root. Also, before you send it in for service, any tech you talk to will have you factory reset it fist. So it wouldt matter.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Sérgio Luís:
I have a backup of my Gingerbread version (2.3.3) working fine.

Yesterday, I finally found a Brazilian firmware to my I9000 and tried to test it.

Now, I'm using the Froyo version (2.2.1) downloaded from Kies and I'm having a problem to restore some files.

All my games and apps from Market are restored without any problem.

When I try to restore my contacts I get the message: Google Services Framework (process com.google.process.gapps) has stopped.

The process android.process.acore has stopped.

I have to FC them and it enters in this looping.

I tried to restore only the data (the green ones) without any luck.

I tried all kind of settings in the TB, but without success.

What can I do ?

Thanks a lot.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] JJEgan:

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Sérgio Luís:
Thanks, but I already tried it before posting.

This problems seems to be related with Google Account Sync.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] BigZolo:
I'm not sure that restoring from a newer version to an older one will work.

Personally I never restore system data and settings with TB (except the sms storage), only applications. I believe that it is more safe to do the basic configurations manually than restore it from backup.

I use my Google accounts to store the contacts, they sync without issues.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] rschenck:
Restoring system data like that never works well via Titanium.

I would go back into recovery, clear cache and dalvik, then do a factory reset.

Go back to Titanium, restore the apps you wish WITHOUT data. Then sync your gmail to get your contacts back.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] melorib:
Create a google account just for the contacts and calendar, thats what I did...
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Sérgio Luís:
Thanks a lot for the tips.

I tried all these tips but didn't work.

I had to restore only my programs and games from market and imported my contacts from my sim card.

As always happens, I had to edit every contact, because the first name always is in the last name field and even having the option to not show the contacts from sim card, I the same contacts twice in the list and had to del them.

The worst problem was after restoring my programs and games from market. They are working fine, but market can't identify them as a file already downloaded.

I tried to use the Market Doctor option but it didn't work.

I had to download them again from market.I think it happens because I'm not using an English version anymore.

At least after trying a lot, I'm using a Brazilian firmware downloaded from Kies.

No more problem of running a program with Brazilian language, but as the firmware was in English, these programs run in English language too.

I know its still in development but with JVH out and existz already working on a JVH talon build (continuum rom has it for now), you might have to implement that too.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shane87:
Yeah, I am aware of JVH, and I plan on adding JVH compatibility as soon as existz's begins to release JVH-based kernels. Actually, as long as the sysfs is still implemented the same way, there SHOULDN'T be any issues. Of course, I thought the same thing about going from FroYo to to Gingerbread, and it wasn't quite that easy. But compared to the full re-write, which has taken almost three weeks, going from JVB to JVH shouldn't be as bad.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shane87:
Anyone interested in looking at the sources on github, I have committed fix that prevents the app from fc'ing at launch. As it turns out, calling the inflater function to inflate a view does NOT save that view unless you specifically tell it to! Seriously though, it was a simple issue of forgetting to add a word or two of code. It is amazing how one messed up variable, or even a missing period, can complete crash an app. Now, just to get the layout setup so that everything is visible and positioned correctly.

Hopefully, I will have a running release ready by the end of the day.

P.S. If you intend to DIVIDE by 1000, and you accidentally put SUBTRACT 1000, Java/Android won't tell you that you are an idiot. It will just cause the app to crash, lol.

Control Freak does not seem to pull up the states table at all under TalonDEV 0.1.7-JVH-Test_11 for Continuum, but Voltage Control EX does it most of the time.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shane87:
Read the OP. Control Freak does not use the States tab. If you press on the state, like you are going to change uv settings, it will show the enable/disable checkbox and the tis info.

Sorry. I missed that at first.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] grkmaster:
I think its a great alternative way and possibly keep it that way. State tab shuoldnt be that big oa deal if we have a option like that to enable and disable a checkbox under the states
[Captivate Themes and Apps] iXNyNe:
I like the states enable/disable being in there with the UV setting, but I miss being able to see tis all in one place without having to scroll. Maybe the tis could be put on the line where the mV. Is displayed? I don't much miss the tis % but I can see that's not included and it is slightly handy.

More importantly than appearance I've noticed that all states show the same time for tis. Using cpuspy I see the real results. Also I'm still having issues sometimes where opening the app no states are selected and the Max clock is empty until I check at least one state. I also sometimes have blanks for scheduler and governor.

The new voltage control lite does not seem to suffer these issues, however I have noticed an inconsistency across the board about being able to save boot settings (sometimes works,sometimes not). And yes my init.d folder is chmodded correctly.

Rom continuum 5.4.1

Kernel talon 0.1.7
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shane87:
Yeah, I am planning on adding tis info, plus an indicator for enabled/disabled status on the line with the uv, so you can see everything in one glance.

I knew that the states info still isn't getting pulled right sometimes. You said vc lite has that issue fixed? Do you know if vc lite has sources available, so I can see how it got fixed?

I didn't know that the tis was messed up. I'll take a look at it tomorrow and see if I can track it down.

And for future reference, please report issues by clicking the link in the op. I check this thread often, but I check my issue tracker on github more often, usually, lol.

Also, I am working on adding governor specific tweaks, that will be displayed in a sliding drawer like vcex's states tab.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] corgar:
any news on this? any chance to save settings on sdcard to load after a wipe?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shane87:
For control freak there probably won't be many more updates. The reason for this is 1) the gui is the biggest issue right now, what with the gpu oc status line disappearing at random, but I STILL can't track it down, 2) gpu oc is the only part that needs any updates, and existz has removed user configurable gpu oc, since it doesn't work, 3) I am currently spending all of my time on the lmk settings app for talon kernel.

As far as giving an option to save the settings to sdcard, it won't happen. The whole reason some kernel installs wipe voltage settings is to prevent you from setting incompatible values between kernel updates. For example, if the kernel originally has 6 states, and one is removed in an update, leaving the voltage settings as-is would cause unpredictable behaviour due to the fact that voltage settings would try to set values for 6 states when only 5 exist. So I am not going to give the option to save the settings to sd, as that would completely defeat the purpose of wiping voltage settings.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] CuriousTech:
That would be a nice feature, and I can see it causing many problems. A future idea would be to save profiles in app data space so that Titanium Backup would grab it. They could be saved, but only restored if they match the current config (number of steps for OC, etc.), or overwriting the steps that exist in both and requiring the user double-check the result. Could be a little complicated though.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] suntzu123:
I need a little help here. I used Talon's kernels from 0.3.1 with the newest controll freak 0,5 beta.

Is there 100% sure verssion that's working?

[Captivate Themes and Apps] pikachu01:
GPU OC is not working from day 1. It's been removed ever since. Don't use it as it doesn't even work (confirmed by the original dev that wrote/commited the code)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] suntzu123:
So it's possible to OC GPU only on Captivate phone? Or I did not understand first post?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] pikachu01:
You can PM existz for more information, but the kernels that implement GPU OC using the same code that existz published would get the same results: GPU OC not working. Hence it was removed in later versions of Talon. Check out the thread here:

"disabled GPU OC (does not fully work yet)" this mean that partially is working :P

[Captivate Themes and Apps] pikachu01:
Yeah, it was probably a placebo effect :)

They run stuff and "felt" it was faster, but actually nothing changed. Human psychology sure is complicated :)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shane87:
The reason it says "not fully working" is because gpu oc works, IF AND ONLY IF the oc amount is hard-coded into the kernel. If it is set up so that it is user configurable, like with cf, it doesn't work. And the reson existz does not put in a hard coded gpu oc is the same reason cpu oc/uv is user configurable: different cappy's like different amounts of oc/uv.

But the GPU is underclocked last I heard, so all Captivates should be able to hit 400Mhz on the GPU at the very least, unless Samsung decided to ship Captivates with defective GPUs as well.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shane87:
Its not that the gpus can't handle 400mhz. Ocing the gpu causes the gpu to draw more power. That can cause stability issues elsewhere.

Also, consider this: the cpu clocked at 1ghz is also underclocked. By how much, I am not sure, but the infuse runs the same proccesor, the hummingbird, clocked at a "stock" 1.2ghz. Yet not every cappy can handle oc.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897
[Captivate Themes and Apps] geokilla:
Every Captivate I've touched (mine and dad's) can handle 1200Mhz OC and UVed by 75mV just fine. If it can't even run at stock speeds like it was designed to, then it is defective. I'm not even asking for an UV at stock speeds. UV at stock speeds is just a plus.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] pikachu01:
You need to understand that Samsung could fabricate the GPU using lower standards producing a GPU that could only OC up to 200MHz.

If you've read about silicon fabrication, you'll know that in every batch of wafers, there will be a small number of silicon that can't make the grade. Let's put this number at 5%.

Let;s say 3% of that 5% can only be clocked up to 300MHz. And another 1% can be clocked to 250MHz and another 1% can be clocked to 100MHz.

In Infuse, Samsung would need to get rid of that 5%. However, in SGS, it could use 99% of the wafer and save costs :)

That's why even if the chip is meant to handle 400MHz OC, fabrication yields made it that some GPU wafers can't handle more than Samsung tested/intended to.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] geokilla:
Yes I understand that. For Samsung's sake, I hope that's the reason they're downclocking, aside from conserving battery life. Otherwise I'll be sad I'm not getting the "stock" performance from my phone.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shane87:
Another reason that chips in phones, whether it is cpu or gpu, are under-clocked is a design choice. Almost every smartphone uses an underclocked chipset. That is due to the properties of cpu designs. A cpu (or gpu) that has a native clock of 1GHz will use MORE power than a chip with a native clock of 1.2-1.4GHz underclocked to 1GHz. So, phone companies design their chips with a native clock higher than their phones will need, then under-clock them to the proper speed. As an example, the iPhone 4 (I know, its a bad-word around here, I'm over it) has a 1GHz processor that is underclocked to 800MHz, and Samsung does the same with their phones. It is all in the name of maximizing the speed while minimizing battery use, and, as was mentioned a few posts back, if their are a few chips that can't meet the 1.2-1.4GHz quality control, they may still be able to be used underclocked to 1GHz, so that means more chips pass final qc, and saves Samsung some money.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] suntzu123:
There simple rule. cpu can make almost every MHz..... but it depend of

+ Voltage

+ Load

+ Temperature

phone is mobile device with out cooling and free sunbathe.... And there is no module inside processor to controll MHz when power consumption or temperature go higher.... Sandy Bridge control MHz depend of TDP

-------------------------------------------

TDP (maximal power consumption) depend of MHz/(voltage*current)^2, and OFC load.... Voltage depend of technological process (I mean same size, but different manufacture), some got voltage 2V and current 1A, some got 1V with current 2A

So if you make 200MHz chip and with same performance but clocked 400MHz.... it will take two times more power if there is same Voltage....

----------------------------------------------

So let's make it simple. If you got game... will you see differance 50-> 60FPS?

Sure not... but to make 60FPS GPU will have to be clocked with 300MHz sure with higher Voltage. God bless FPS cap (that fraking moders taking off).

-----------------------------------------------

Galaxy S got the most powerfull GPU at his times... And GPU is not ussually bottle neck......

ARM is the worst processor with so big mass production.... CPU generate geometry, and transfer it to GPU all the time.... So performance of GPU depend of CPU.....

SGS got same config as some Intel's atom. They got same GPU@400/300MHz.... See how good graphics they can handle on Windows.... But Atom is much more powerfull processor.

==================================

Why Samsung didn't put SGX535? becouse .... what I can see, more transistors you put underclocked better powerconsumption/ per FPS you get... So better SGX540 at 200MHz than SGX535 at 250MHz.....

---------------------------------------------

There is no burn test on Android, so you can't make stability test. Samsung making this test. There is usually limit about 10-30% just for stability reason for burn tests...

===================================

One mote thing you can overclock GPU only by bus. So overclocking GPU will overclock CPU, but... USB controller, video decoder too. So sometimes you got 20% of GPU limit, but when you whatch movie you will destroy video decoder.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] herc2k:
can someone post the default

mv for i9000 and the recommended for better battery life or performance?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shane87:
Default values can be applied by moving the undervolt sliders all the way to the right. However, above 1ghz, there is no "default" voltage. This is because the stock kernel caps at 1ghz, so there is no voltage specified for clocks above 1ghz. The "default" voltages for higher frequencies are calculated by the kernel devs.

As far as recomendations for battery use/performance, it really is device specific. For example, I have difficulties in running more than -75 mv at 1ghz on my captivate, yet other users with a captivate and the same kernel/rom can run -125mv at 1ghz with no issues. The best way to find optimal uv value is to start with maybe -75mv, and run a stability test. If it runs stable, then you can try higher. If it has stability issues, decrease by 25, to -50, and try again. Then repeat for each voltage. It takes a while, but in the end it is worth it.

hi,

when you say repeat for each voltage, should I try each voltage one by one with default values for the others (example : 100mhz test to -125, ok, to test the 200mhz, I have to put back the changed value in 100Mhz and test only 200Mhz?)

thx for help
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shane87:
Actually, I realize that I made a mistake. It should say for each frequency, not each voltage. And the idea is, to test 1ghz, for example, set max clock to 1ghz, and disable all other states. Then test at different voltage settings to find the lowest voltage that the phone is stable. Then go to 800mhz, set max clock to 800mhz, enable 800mhz state, disable 1ghz state, and test. The idea is to make the phone always run at the frequency you are testing. I hope this clears up some confusion!
