I had ATK installed on my Atrix pretty much since day 1. Then i realised i was being an idiot to have it running in the background when i never really used it. Instead, i always just used the standard task manager, and added apps that i didn't see a point in having sit idle in the background to the auto-end list. Works quite well, and no annoying "Touch here to launch Advanced Task Killer" crap in the notification pane.
[Atrix 4G General] bongd:
Unless there is a technical challenge it's best to kill tasks as sparingly as possible. End of discussion
[Atrix 4G General] jjwatmyself:
I think you are missing the simple fact that killing tasks has no impact, positive or negative, on Android.
[Atrix 4G General] slimslim:
Same here, using the stock one, the auto end list too free ram. I noticed many apps that I don't use very often load on startup and run in the background.
[Atrix 4G General] jjwatmyself:
Free ram has no impact on performance or battery on Android. Killing a task should always be adhoc and not automatic.
[Atrix 4G General] jjwatmyself:
Agreed!
[Atrix 4G General] jimmer411:
I have mine set to close only a few programs that eat battery in the background. Like the xda app.
[Atrix 4G General] slimslim:
Not entirely true, does impact the performance and is noticeable especially when I have less than 100 megs available. Even on my old winmo phone more free ram made a huge difference. Also has little impact on battery while apps running on background use cpu.
[Atrix 4G General] dLo GSR:
I realize you're a douche, so bite me.
[Atrix 4G General] JonEleven:
Haha no need to get hostile man, you just clearly had not read my post.

At least have the decency to put tl dr beforehand if you are going to do that, because your first response literally almost quoted something I had already written

And I have to agree with slimslim about the ram, I find it very noticeable when the level of free ram gets down to around 100

Would it be possible for you to make a nandroid of your current rom before attempting to update? 320 is a starhub rom and so far noone has made a nandroid of it
[Streak 5 General] trichard:
i am very new to Dell streak ( only have it 1 week ) ...what is nandroid ? I also have not learn to root it ...

I only play with X10 a lot ...
[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
Nandroid is making a copy of all the partitions on a phone, system/data/cache/etc

320 (your rom) so far hasnt been dumped because it's a rarer rom and noone has come forward to dump it

you need to install a custom recovery http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=840326 and select the nandroid option to do that

if you're new to android phones or dont want to learn all the steps, i guess you could also use multi recovery flasher

I see.... this set came to me as a replacement unit as the first set I bought on 6 May as a 2nd hand spolit in ear piece .. that one was 2.2.1 ... apps keep crash out even after factory clean reset ....

BUT it is rock stable !....

I wonder should I up it to 2.2.2 ....

Now your changing my topic once again, so you might as well make your own tread "reasons people want apps and why you don't care"

[Nook Color General] Gibbage:
Im not new to loading ROM's for Android devices. I have an HD2 and have loaded about 50 ROMS on it in the last year I have had it! Recently, I got my wife a NC, and want to play around a little bit.

The big issue is this. My wife HATES my HD2 simply because every time she picks it up, its a new ROM! She really LOVES the NC, so there is no way she is going to let me really mod the thing like my phone.

There are a few small issues with the stock ROM, and I have been reading the post's for a few weeks now to see if there is something that fits what im looking for, but there are so many post's its really hard to dig even using the search! So please bare with me for asking questions im sure have been asked many many times.

#1, is there a ROM that will still run B&N books? Or will I just have to stick with stock ROM for that?

#2, can the stock rom be overclocked of the above is true? One of the biggest gripes is youtube playback. Will the OC help that?

#3, Has anyone gotten the Netflix player to play on a stock rooted NC?

Basically I want to let her watch Netflix on the NC and punch up the performance a little, and still keep the B&N software useable.

Any help would be great!
[Nook Color General] Paul22000:
1. FroYo and CM7 will run B&N books through the B&N Nook App. Children's books ("Read to me") are stock only (Android 2.1 Eclar).

3. Not sure about stock NC but CM7 works beautifully :) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=13737296#post13737296
[Nook Color General] doncaruana:
Actually the latest stock upgrade puts it up to 2.2 - stock 1.1 and below were eclair. The books still work fine after rooting too.
[Nook Color General] kidcjay25:
Can Nook run android apps with the stock nook ui? Not rooted or anything straight out the box?
[Nook Color General] doncaruana:
Stock is still Android - the angry birds that b&n sells is Android. But without rooting you can only get whatever b&n sells you.
[Nook Color General] Masterface7:
#1. Also The stock nook color reader app can only be run on a rooted stock device. I am pretty sure no roms at all support it. ( I don't know why there is no froyo rom that is based on the stock build maybe it is not possible) The BN app in the market is a fairly different reading experience.

#2. stock rom can be overclocked just fine, You can find Kernels Here. I run 1.1Gz some times no problems, 1.2 was too much for my device. Usually though I leave the clock down at 800-900 because the boost is not needed. Also, Youtube works beautifully on my rooted 1.2 right now ( I dont remember if the last time i was watching youtube i was overclocked or not)

#3. I am one of the last people in the universe to not have netflix so can't really try this out.

If CM7 still has sleep issues stock will get better sleep battery life by about 10x so your wife wont have to live next to a power outlet.

For pure stock nook colors, Barnes and Noble has their own app store with just under 150 apps I think. Only a small selection of them are free because no ads are allowed. They do have pulse reader though, which is mine and a lot of peoples favorite news aggregator.
[Nook Color General] japzone:
Just Install CM7 to a MicroSD. That way whenever your Wife uses the Nook it's Normal Stock, which she's probably fine with, but when you use the Nook you can Pop the Card in and it'll boot into CM7 instead allowing you to do anything you want. When your Wife wants to use the Nook just turn it off and take out the Card, turn it back on and it'll boot to Stock again.

I recommend this Thread for Installing CM7 to MicroSD:

[Streak 5 General] cavasquez:
Hi. I'm new to the forums, but just figured this out - so be gentle.

This basically tricks apps into thinking your phone is a Nexus One

Download and install the netflix.apk (not sure if I'm allowed to post - I'm sure you can find it.)

1. Copy /system/build.prop to a local directory and change the following settings:

ro.product.name=libra_passion

ro.product.device=passion

ro.product.board=mahimahi

ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/passion:2.3.4/GRJ22/121341:user/release-keys

2. replace /system/build.prop with the edited build.prop

adb remount

adb push yournewbuild.prop /system/build.prop

3. Reboot

4. Enjoy

If the phone is properly rooted, try going to the market and installing the current version of BusyBox. That made a difference for me.

With ES FileExplorer open to the folder you want to work in, press the middle button (I'm blanking on what its name is right now - not Home, and not Return) and select Settings then Root Options. Enable Root then mount the file system as writable.

DON'T FORGET TO BACK UP THE FILE FIRST.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gwanatu:
Google announced 2.4 at Google I/O 2011 the other day, but didn't say that 2.4 was Ice Cream. I think 2.4 is just an updated Gingerbread, sort of like 2.0 to 2.1 was still Eclair, and 3.0 to 3.1 is still Honeycomb. I have a feeling Ice Cream will be something more like 3.2 or higher, since it's supposed to be the fusion of Honeycomb and Gingerbread and cover all devices.

That being said, I'm hopeful that Google will cover us with the update, since HTC is one of their 18 partners that promises to give quick OS updates within 18 months of the device releasing, of which the end of this year still would cover us.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhkr234:
Most refs on the 'net state the next version's number to be 3.4. They certainly won't be naming is 2.4 since 2.4<3.0. You simply don't go backwards in versioning.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackknightavalon:
Yeah, Google will announce the updates. What about the carriers and manufacturers who like to skin their Android builds with buggy-at-best themes like Sense and Blur?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heybobitsme:
To elaborate a little more on what Gawantu said, at io, Google said they partnered with the manufacturers and carriers, including HTC and Motorola, to bring out updates for up to 18 months after a device is released. But how quickly hasn't been said.

Honestly though, if it took the CM team just 4 months to bring CM7 stable to 20 something devices including a couple tablets, with different hardware, while doing it in their spare time all the while having to reverse engineer and hack their way through it. It shouldn't take any longer for the professional developers at say, HTC, to bring an update to a few that are similarly spec'd and have all the resources to do so even while making a new version of Sense.

I for one, won't be waiting for CM version anything, or even a different ROM that is kinda CM-based, CM was OK back in the day, like the first month this phone was out, when we had nothing better, but now we have RELIABLE ROM choices

let's face facts, CM fan-boys, your ROM is buggy, has been for a long time, it often breaks GPS, wifi calling, and a dozen other things, flexible overclocking is not a good trade off for a glitchy phone that has troubles with basic G2 features.

There are MUCH better ROMs out there now, they need a ground-up re-write before any CM-based ROM gets anywhere near my phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
kind of a random time for you to take a dig at CM7. I'm not at all in denial, CM is an amazing ROM with a huge team behind it that has treated me well since the early days of CM6. I'm sorry that you think differently but considering that it is the most installed custom ROM in the world (except for MIUI, maybe?) I'm reluctant to accept your view of it.

I'm ready to install CM9 because I know they'll get it right, push it out quick, and the development will never stop for it. Just like CM6 and CM7.
