[Captivate Themes and Apps] rye&ginger:
Hi guys, Im trying to get the Google News and Weather app (GenieWidget.APK) from Nexus S, or other newer version, running. I have an older version that does not auto update, so it kinda sucks.

The new version is here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=13473045

Ive tried dropping both the APK and/or ODEX file via file manager, also rebooting, but the files are not there afterwards. Im rooted and using FileExpert app, which is granted superuser Im told via toast message.

Also tried direct install of the APK, but again no go --> 'Application not installed' error.

Im running the Mosiac III ROM.

Searches have not helped so Id appreciate some help!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] VFO:
You might wan't to try Root Explorer from the market. Its what I used to install the genie widget. It is pretty easy to use. All you have to do is copy it into your system/app folder and there you have it.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] brandaopj:
but do i need to delete the old one? Is necessary to change the permissions of the new apk? If yes how?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
If the installation is failing you are going to need to adb push the application to your system/app/ folder and then it should work... I am also looking for the new geniewidget.apk (sorry for bumping an old thread).

My point is that I have got Xperia Arc for more than month and I noticed that SE doesn't hurry with updates at all. Look at SGS 2 from samsung. They relased first update fixing some bugs just after 2 weeks they introduced the model....

[Xperia Arc General] Step666:
Except that can and is being fixed server-side by Google, so not having 2.3.4 isn't as big an issue as it might be.

Plus, the problem only occurs when using unsecured wi-fi networks - the clue is in the name :rolleyes:

Yeah, they pushed out a minor bug-fix.

This is a combination bug-fix and update to the next version of Android, of course that's going to take more time.

When other manufacturers like HTC are only just updating their current handset range to 2.3.2 and SE are updating the Arc and Play from 2.3.2, I don't really see why you're being so negative.
[Xperia Arc General] sonicdarack:
Pretty new to the android stuff so,

Will this be an OTA Update?

My Phione is unlocked and rootet, any issues for updating?

Last question will it wipe your phone?

thx for replies...
[Xperia Arc General] ronniecross:
@Karooluss This will be the 2nd update for the arc....

It launched on build .181 and is now .184.

So uhm...... 2 updates (including an android version update), and the phone's only been about 2 months. Not bad going?
[Xperia Arc General] Karooluss:
Ronniecross, I have still 181 fw fersion although I check for new almost every day. 184 is probably update only for UK and it add some unnecessary stuff like bbc player?? Correct me if I m not right;-)

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ram1500:
Hi guys,

Everyday when I go into the market this notification comes out.

" Attention

A network error has occurred retry, or cancel and return to the previous screen"

This comes out at least 3-4 times a day. Is their something wrong with my phone?

~ thanks
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorak950:
Possibly, or it could just be that you have a weak data connection. I get that error occasionally, though typically nowhere near as often as you claim to. Sometimes there will be trouble with Google's servers or with one of the points between the phone and them, in which case you may get a spate of errors within a period of time. If it does that regardless of where you are and how good your signal is, it may be a phone issue. Unfortunately, I can't provide much more insight than that.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ram1500:
Thanks for the reply.

I guess it could be that I hav my phone on wifi the whole time could that be the problem?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] augoza:
Im good on everything else except when it comes the CPU thing. I have no idea what the numbers mean when you set the CPU for some reason. To slow the phones resources when the screen is off right? Can anyone point me to the direction of an app that can do this? What about an app that turns the data off once I turn the screens off. A free one. Thank you and sorry if Im not making sense or sounding dumb
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -viperboy-:
SetCPU can modify the processor speed and allow you to set a profiles. However, you're running Tiamat so if you haven't changed anything your default governor is smartass which has a built in screen off profile of 128min/384max.

As far as turning data off, check out ultimatejuice. There is a free version that is limited in what it does, but it might be worth paying for. Also, for battery saving, check out my EVO link in my sig for some undervolting mods.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SVT Josh:
You can set the cpu governor with a program called setCPU on the marketplace. You can further control the CPU by flashing another kernel. What ROM are you running? Stock? I would try the netarchy kernel (newest version) if you're running a sense-based ROM.. I've found it has phenomenal battery life (medium use i get 15-20hrs) and I'm overclocked to 1.152ghz.

A program called tasker can also make your data connection go off and back on with the screen. I'm unsure how to set the profile but I do know thats possible. Try looking around here: http://tasker.wikidot.com You should be able to find something about it.

EDIT: Nevermind about netarchy, did not see your signature on your ROM and kernel.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
ok, so ur on aosp and tiamat. try changing governer to smartass. will give you much better battery life, and you won't have to worry about 'numbers'.

btw the numbers are the cycles per second, or the speed the cpu works at. i personally underclock to 537 (998 is stock) to save a bunch of battery, and it still runs perfectly fine for me (cm7 with tiamat)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -viperboy-:
Governor is smartass by default on Tiamat :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
didn't know that. thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] augoza:
Thanks everybody! ....Viperboy thanks for the info unfortunately I still have lots of questions haha. And yes I already been through all the viper undervoltings, 25 through INSANE! A question I have is with those vipervoltings, I assume they'll show different results depending on which kernel and rom i'm running correct? Plus im pretty much sticking with MIUI....I usually use the 25 vipervolting. Now I'm on tiamat v4.0.3. Are you saying sense I'm using tiamat its already set to smartass, so it'll be unnecessary to use the setcpu app? Also I like savZen to what's the default governor on that? Final question, turning the data off when the screen goes off using ultimatejuice unnecessary if I'm running tiamat? Sorry for the bombarding of questions thanks again

MIUI 1.5.13 - Tiamat-v4.0.3

​
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
I think you should not use SetCPU...

Just sayin'....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] augoza:
Any reason?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -viperboy-:
Yes, most of the scripts lower by a certain range. So it all depends on the kernel you are running. Some of my scripts (Extreme, Insane, v2 scripts) specify all the voltages so no matter what kernel you're running, it sets the voltages to exact values. If you can go lower than -25 and you're stable, do it!

I find SetCPU unnecessary. I only have it installed because I use it for testing my mods and things, but I that's the only reason. But smartass is good enough for me, no other governors give me as good batter life. Defauly governor on SZ is their own governor (SavagedZen) it's based on interactive, I believe. There is more info on their site.

Tiamat (or any kernel for that matter) don't turn off 3G when the screen is off. You would need an app to do that.

Uses a good bit of memory, for one. Two, because the kernels here run pretty good right out of the box.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
1, it's useless, and 2, the OP seems like he isn't ready to use it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -viperboy-:
Well, it's definitely not useless. It's a great app, I just find no need for it other than testing my mods.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
That, I totally agree with, but for he average user, few know how to set it correctly and they end up with a placebo effect, or more problems.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ropodope:
I couldn't agree more. Setting up a basic screen off profile with a conservative setting is useful, otherwise it actually gets in the way of already built in kernel benefits, actually undoing them in many cases. I stopped using setcpu a while ago and my battery life has not suffered at all.

Hello all

Here is the place where you can ask a question about your Galaxy ACE, and the question will be answered (by me or by anyone else). So if you have any "beginner" question or everything else, just ask here

Also, this place will also be a FAQ, to answer all the common questions about the phone .
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dali47:
hi :) thnx for the thread. seems like our dear Ace is not getting enough attention around here :/

i have i couple of questions.

the first is about that one second or so the screen takes to turn on after going into sleep mode or after being turned off by the proximity sensor. seems like i'm not the only one having this problem. anyone knows why it's happening and whether there's a cure?

second question, i read somewhere on the net that after upgrading the Ace to gingerbread, the video camera is able to shoot at VGA 30fps. anyone running GB can confirm this?

thanks :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Hatshipuh:
1. I thought the 1 second delay is only with Gingerbread Firmware, since I didn't have those delays when I was with Froyo. I'd like to know too if this delay is possible to fix.

2. Yes I can confirm it is VGA with Gingerbread, dunno if it's 30fps or 24fps.

NoLed is no bad idea, but unfortunately it doesn't let your phone "sleep" which means worst battery life.

Do you have AIO. One of the first 4 stocked posts in dev section. Try that first if it doesn't work....

Try inserting the USB with battery out. Now with USB plugged to both phone and CPU hold both volume buttons with your other hand insert the battery.

Lets try those first before going further.

Oh and on a different note you didn't need to Odin to stock. Just flash 3.3 as normal, Odin cf-root 3.1 kernel and flash 3.5 with included cwm app.
