It wipes everything off the TF and what your left with is a brand new 3.1 installation. It didn't touch my microsd cards data. I know this is not an ideal solution for the power users out there but it may help out some until Asus issues a fix.

Deletes data off the internal storage, but not the sd card.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neok44:
it's called backing up your data and reinstalling your apps. It's a very common thing to do.

download app list backup from the market, that will give you market links for all of your installed apps, and you can download mybackup pro to backup some data.

and BTW, to everyone doing this, backup your internal memory becuase it will be erased as well to my understanding.

going to go ahead and do this when i get home tonight.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seshmaru:
Fyi by default Google backs up your app data. So it should automatically redownload the apps you had and have all your settings. Unless of course you pirated them, at which point you're not allowed to complain ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stuntdouble:
The backup/sync option is meant to only restore ones you purchased via the market, not free ones. Although honestly, it's restored a few of the free ones (not all) I've installed too, the last time I reset, so I'm not sure what to think any more.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seshmaru:
For me it restores my free ones as well (I have 2 paid apps and 50 free ones, it restores them all).
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magicpork:
it restores all free ones for me
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] czm:
same here - all of my apps were reinstalled once I did rebooted. The vast majority of them were free.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prof-KOS:
Note that it does not restore app data. You need root for that and Titanium Backup and if you have root there are other ways to get the widget back. Any save states (ie. completed levels in Angry Birds etc..) will be lost. Any settings and such as well. I'm not saying don't do it, but just getting that out there for those that don't know. 'Restore' is really the wrong word for this, it's just re-installing so you don't have to.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stuntdouble:
Sounds like they've changed their policy then if it's restoring all apps now. That's certainly welcome news.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klau1:
Exactly why I said factory reset is an unacceptable solution.

Titanium backup or backup pro isn't a solution because it requires root to backup app data, but if you have root you could force install Gmail widget directly without factory reseting in the first place
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xShadoWxDrifTx:
It is an issue to factory restore things, because there is no way to back up app data without root.

For example, playing games on your tablet, there is no way to recover that saved file unless there is root

Thats why I believe, factory resetting is the last resort resolution and really isn't a fix..

And they always make rooting so difficult, but obtaining app data to restore later or just to backup is the best part of root
[Droid X General] phillybizzle:
Hey all,

my trusty froyo dx finally died on me, and today I received what looks to be a newer model dx. My questions are..

Are there any ways to tell what "gen" this new dx is? (subtle changes etc)

this device already came preloaded by Verizon with system 4.5.596, will i have any issues when I plan to root using z4?

Thanks a bunch
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
Yes, it won't work. If you want root, you have to SBF to froyo.
[Droid X General] phillybizzle:
Are there any ways to tell what "gen" this new dx is? (subtle changes etc)
[Droid X General] RodrigoKim:
what makes it look like a "newer model".

It shouldn't be different? for the most part the droid X2 looks exactly like the droid X. so I don't think they would make changes to a phone that already has a successor

z4root will not work, you need to find a FULL sbf .340 stock and use RSDlite 4.8 and restore it to froyo. from there you can flash p3droid's rooted gb rom, which is essentially the same as the OTA

Hi.Its great to see Talon Kernel again.

Downloading...

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] simone201:
Will take a look at it, seems promising now! XD

Anyway good work guys!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] existz:
I just use Voltage Control to set max clock and UV.. But you can use most of the others. Shane87 has been working on a Talon specific version of Voltage Control, called Control Freak, he also has Voltage Control EX, which works good. Plus I also use SetCPU to change governors.. with 0.2.1 I removed Interactive governor...I had been using it and InteractiveX, but seems Ondemand is smoother..but ill work on InteractiveX some and hopefully get it in the next build or two..but for now I recommend just using Ondemand
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] st4rk:
Thx mate, doesn't seem to want to boot for me right now..

I'm using goa trip, on rfs.

gonna back up and reflash to see if i can get it running..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] wingg:
Flashed on JVO with SGS kernel flasher. Voltage control set 0,-25,-50,-50,-75,-75. noop ,1200

So far everything works ok.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] existz:
I recommend using the SIO scheduler, its a mix between noop and deadline...in my testing SIO and CFQ give the best results
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] aladin6:
Oh, this kernel reminds me of Super Optimized kernel :P.

Very happy to see a new kernel that really seems promising ;).

I'll wait for Simply Honey 3.6 update version and flash it :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] wingg:
Thank You. I will try SIO.

I thought that noop = lower battery consumpion.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] paratox:
nice kernel! thanks! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] existz:
The IO scheduler usually doesn't have much effect on battery life, atleast not as much as other things...but in my experience, sio and cfq give faster read/write scores
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jornbjorn:
how about taking something from the cm7 playbook... 65 fps and smartass governor = mega smooth
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] existz:
Seems upping the refresh rate causes colors to be washed out at low brightness, blacks turn browns ..etc.. as for smartass, it does not work well on i9k gingerbread, does not scale down and is laggy.. I did use Interactive and InteractiveX, but they seemed laggy coming out of idel (letting cpu drop to 100mhz then trying to scroll quickly would lag.. Ondemand seems to be the best choice as of right now...trust me, we have tried almost every tweak there is.. u name it, we have tried it

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rlorange:
So such problems here... did you clear voltage boot settings? CPU spy shows perfect scaling for me... in fact smartass governor seems to be using slower frequencies more so I will expect better battery life :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
app, user, system related issue :p

try to reboot whether that helps

it depends

it keeps the phone at 400 (?) MHz while it sleeps if you don't switch the governor so that might consume more

don't know if the DIDLE from samsung helps here

but it definitely draws very little battery while in MP3 playback mode - even at 800 MHz (which might be a read-out error or true)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rlorange:
[QUOTE

but it definitely draws very little battery while in MP3 playback mode - even at 800 MHz (which might be a read-out error or true)[/QUOTE]

Oh really? Interesting did know that about smartass governor...

Man you need to start your own thread to explain all of this!

Also I was looking at your script... I'm code illiterate but am I reading right in your script comments that it somehow switches between governors automatically? "One governor to rule them all"

**Simply Honey3.5, Talon 0.2.1 kernel 1.2ghz, ZSJV5 modem**
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
I actually meant general behavior while playing back MP3s

but the smartass governor definitely consumes more battery

I had the impression that it's not as smooth as on CM7 where you get more serious performance gains

yes, you can set the scripts to switch from smartass (screen on) to conservative (screen off) to get best of both worlds:

- amazing performance (screen on)

- best battery runtime in idle (screen off)

but currently it uses 2 variants of the tweaked conservative governor

and different memory-settings for both states (screen on/off)

I added a short sleep-period since it doesn't seem to switch immediately or properly everytime between the states
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rlorange:
Not sure exactly how to edit the script but it all sounds very promising!

CPU spy is showing deep sleep as an unused state unlike vanilla talon... I read that Samsung disabled deep sleep for gingerbread but Talon added it back. Have you changed something here?

**Simply Honey3.5, Talon 0.2.1 kernel 1.2ghz, ZSJV5 modem**
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] existz:
1.3ghz is actually apart of Talon, will be in next release... ytt3r actually popped back in and got it working ...I've been working a few small gpu changes and kodos is working on getting a different initramfs working..we have been thinking about switching from chainfires
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
unplug USB-cable or charger

and give it some time after the boot to go to sleep

deep sleep definitely works

some battery hogs:

(that prevent the phone from going to sleep properly and give you long runtime)

- SNS Service

- Maps

- Tap Tap Revenge4

- ...

settings -> applications -> running services

end those via "stop"

for some it's not enough

settings -> applications -> manage applications -> All

navigate to the app

stop it via "force stop"

Thanks existz and zach you guys rock.

Could you tell me how to edit script so that it switches from smartass to ondemand automatically? Cause i am a normal guy, a normal consumer, dont know how to do it..

:)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
re-post from my CM7 kernel thread [with modifications]

take S98screenstate_scaling

and modifiy / edit:

AWAKE_GOVERNOR="conservative"

SLEEP_GOVERNOR="conservative"

to

AWAKE_GOVERNOR="ondemand"

SLEEP_GOVERNOR="conservative"

for ondemand governor

and

AWAKE_GOVERNOR="smartass"

SLEEP_GOVERNOR="conservative"

for smartass governor

then put it back in again in system/etc/init.d

best would be:

- reboot into Recovery

- Advanced -> fix permissions (in Clockworkmod Recovery)

- reboot

Keep it up guys!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ooohhh2:
Just to make sure i do it right. I shall open your script and then change the lines after

"one governor to rule them all"

in my case smartass.

Then i fixed permissions with root explorer to rwxrwxrwx.

I selected also smartass in voltage control, should i leave it this way?

Did i get it right?

Can`t confirm this, swype works with me on 1.3GHz, but i use swiftkey x beta anyway..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] .:Crack:.:
Hey Zach!

Are you sure your scripts don't come in conflict with the Talon ram.conf in /etc??
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
exactly:

# =========

# One governor to rule them all

# =========

AWAKE_GOVERNOR="conservative"

SLEEP_GOVERNOR="conservative"

the problem is - if you set the governor in other tools to persist during boot they might override it and thus lead to higher battery consumption in idle (e.g. when smartass is selected)

sorry - the scripts are kinda messy since they're constantly modified as soon as I see that it doesn't work optimally or new stuff to add

:)

they overwrite the values :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
in that case at least use

Juwe11's memory script:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1111145

that's an essential part to get better multitasking

lighter (less aggressive) memory management, less load on the cpu & other parts and thus smoother operation and less battery consumption :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Cy4n1d3:
1.3 Ghz is crashing on me but I guess that's because of cpu's limits. Already had problems getting 1.3 to work on good old Super Optimized kernel :(

Going back to stock talon for the moment as I had a few reboots. Good work though!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] LockeOn:
Wow! Ytt3r, Exitz and Zach - my favourite devs mix:D I am amazed with your kernel and I hope you will continue to cooperate. Best kernel ever!

@Zach

BTW Zach did you notice that on JV* Gingerbread roms watching flash player videos in 720p doesn't cause extremely high cpu load and they work flawlessly? Also overall preformance is better. I have 2 SGSs and I noticed that one is working really crappy with Eclair/Froyo roms and CM7 (lower overall performance, choppy flash video playback) but works great with Gingerbread roms but the other one is working great both with Eclair/Froyo/CM7 and Gingerbread roms. I have no idea why it happens but I think I flashed every single rom that was available to prove this theory.

EDIT:

I checked some benchmarks using Talon 0.21 and new modified by Zach Talon - with old one OC'ed to 1.2Ghz Nenamark1 was giving scores around 45 FPS and with a new one OC'ed to 1.2Ghz it gives around 53 FPS (which is almost like on CM7)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Galaid:
Bug: CPU won't go below 800MHz no matter what governor I use. Back to stock. Other than that, good kernel.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Skkip:
Feedback

Just wanted to give a quick feedback. 0.2.1 working great here, fast and light on battery.

CPU goes down to 100MHz and deep sleep also works. BLN works fine with changed services.jar on JVO.I don't want to oc but i'd like to share my uv voltage in case someone's interested:

1000MHz:-50

800MHz: -75

400MHz: -100

200MHz: -125

100MHz: -150

UV settings done with ControlFreak 0.4.1b.

THX and keep up with this great kernel :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
updated the scripts

this should hopefully work around the issue that non-stock players cause a lot cpu load and thus stutter if the cpu doesn't ramp up fast enough

(almost back to default conservative behavior while screen is off)

Ok, so to properly disable ZRAM just set ZRAM_SIZE=0 in /etc/ram.conf then reboot. This will prevent it from loading the ZRAM module on boot, just doing swapoff does disable ZRAM, but the module is still loaded and could possible still cause memory leak if ZRAM is the culprit..so just set ZRAM_SIZE=0 and reboot in /etc/ram.conf...for those of you who want to experiment some and help try to pinpoint this problem

So i need you guys to do us a favor, with latest test 0.4.4.8 it seems to resolve the wifi reboot issue...BUT, if toggling wifi from dropdown/power widget multiple times in a row may cause it to error out..but you can then just re-enable it via settings menu.. Which this is awhole lot better alternative than the reboot issue. So enabling/disabling wifi normally shouldnt cause any issues, but if you do experience the error from dropdown/power widget, just enable it via settings menu...So just need you guys to verify for us
