[HTC Desire S] bleach1:
Hello as title says i got my desire S unlocked/ s-off due to not been able to succsesfly temp root.(had it done with xtc clip, gold card made s-off and unlocked £15 docter mobile Bradford town center:) )

Anyway i flashed the saga ruu rom fine to remove the virginmedia rom and everything went well ( i'm going to have a play with custom roms later etc)

But now i keep getting offered ota updates for the saga rom,part of me wants to execpt this but BUT obviously i don't need to to as everything as been done to my phone.

Do you think Htc are rolling out the unlocked bootloader update for this rom,has any one exepted the update, if i exepted it would it return my phone to a locked bootloader?

Also i scanded the Phone from my pc with (paid license) avg 2011 and its reporting

Virus/object name D:\RavMon.exe \Tronjan horse Generic2.Utc

Is this a fasle positve ?? or do i need to start worrying i have'nt used the phone to log into anything yet due to this
[HTC Desire S] lennshow66:
Dont think that HTC will be rolling out any update without a press conference first tbh. Probably just some rom updates to your custom rom.
[HTC Desire S] bleach1:
It's not the updates that worry me, its the virus dection on on the phone (ravMon.exe)

After having thru phone s-off ,but I think It's the gold card that holds the threat

i´m trying to change the settings.apk icon.....

so

1) i rename the apk to .zip

2) open the archive

3) replace the original with another .png

4) save the new archive

now comes the strange part,

after saving my archive, i only got half the size of the original archive but it contains exactly the same files (4,4 mb <--> 2 mb)

i did the same way when i changed all folder icons in the arc launcher and it worked without any trouble

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

and is there a way to have two icons for the same app?

for example:

settings in app drawer ---> white icon

settings in widget menu ---> black icon

or does android automatically use the same icons for both?
[LG Optimus 2x] monkeytown:
still didn´t solve this problem ;(

tried via root manager and using 7zip under windows....filesize stayed the same but didn´t work.

and when i changed the icon, i couldn´t open the widget menu or go to options --> settings

oh boy.... :confused:
[LG Optimus 2x] 75markus:
try this :

1.) do all your customizing with this apk ...

2.) copy AndroidManifest.xml & META-INF (folder) from original settings.apk to your new settings.apk

3.) put in update.zip to flash in CWM, or push to system/app manually, check if permissions are ok (rw-r-r)

this worked for me theming framework-res.apk from FR18b2 ...

without copying AndroidManifest.xml & META-INF (folder) from old to new file, i always had bootloop ...
[LG Optimus 2x] 75markus:
if it´s still not working, you can try and

1.) decompile with apkmanager or apktool

2.) do your customizing

3.) compile apk

4.) copy AndroidManifest.xml & META-INF (folder) from original settings.apk to your new settings.apk

5.) flash
[LG Optimus 2x] monkeytown:
tried your first hint but it didn´t work......

so, when i try to open the widgets i get this message:

sony ericsson home (process com.sonyericsson.home) gets force closed

maybe it has something to do with that?

i deleted lglauncher.apk and launcher2.apk and replaced it with a modified arc launcher as main launcher

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

im thankful for your advises but i have ZERO knowledge and experience in stuff like adb, apktool, scripts and stuff...

i can handle illustrator or photoshop :P

if it´s not working, i think i have to let my idea go.....
[Epic 4G Themes] darkierawr:
It made me smile when I saw that you posted. Taking a personal interest and such.

I think you might be getting reports from Syndicate people. Syndicate's Twilight kernel didn't implement sysfs very well. Voltage Control will recognize it but changes can't be made and some clocks aren't read correctly. PimpMyCPU won't read it all.

Genocide kernel, Vision kernel, and Bonsai's kernels all work flawlessly.
[Epic 4G Themes] xan:
Thanks :)

This rewrite costed me *a lot* of work seeing 1 star ratings on market makes me sad ;p
[Epic 4G Themes] handymanjames:
I'm using twilight kernel without any problems but I'm no longer on SFR anymore.
[Epic 4G Themes] JohnCorleone:
Yeah, that's not right. My Epic doesn't play nice with Voltage Control but I know better than to rate the app bad. These Epics each have a mind of their own. Some like undervolting, some dont. Some like certain ROMs better. I can run 1400 all day but no undervolting for me
[Epic 4G Themes] xan:
FCS on some kernels fixed ;p

Thanks going to theimpaler747, for detailed bug report and testing :)
[Epic 4G Themes] Moguledyouth:
I have found multiple issues with the Twilight kernel, I love the rom, just Genocide has been a lot more stable AND I never had any issues with Voltage Control. I was wondering if you might incorporate multiple profiles like SetCPU? I had to start looking for a different program when it would constantly lock my phone when trying to use them and then I found Voltage Control, and after the rewrite it just makes it that much easier to use.
[Epic 4G Themes] xan:
This might be good, true.

Multiple profiles seem doable...
[Epic 4G Themes] theimpaler747:
Happy to have helped out for a great app!
[Epic 4G Themes] useport80:
hey all, im running SFR 1.1.1 with its stock twilight kernel.

i use to run genocide, but i think i messed up with the UV features and i started getting a lot of lockups. right now i just run setcpu with 1300/400 and i seem to be ok.

i think i bought the WRONG voltage control app also. i bought voltage control extreme by sulph8.

i would love to get back to 1400/400, but im really unsure what the best course of action is. are there default voltage settings in this app? initially, i'd like to run 1400/400 with all the standard voltage settings to see if my phone acts normally again.
[Epic 4G Themes] xan:
Well, Voltage Control by nitr8 is a unlock key for 'mine' voltage control. For now all money goes to him, he promised to send it to me.

To revert to stock settings -> Chose delete boot settings and reboot.

Viola, you have booted on stock settings!

Then set desired frequency limits and you are done :)
[Epic 4G Themes] useport80:
so i should set my setcpu back to 1000, remove setcpu, flash genocide kernel, install your voltage control and start from there?
[Epic 4G Themes] xan:
Sounds ok :)
[Epic 4G Themes] useport80:
what should i set my governers to?
[Epic 4G Themes] xan:
Well, depends on your experience with kernel, generally:

For battery saving try conservative.

For reasonable performance try interactive/ondemand or smartass.

Some kernels have bad implementation of some governors, which can make them unstable, so you need to test, test, test and observe :)

From my experience smartass (where implemented) is very smooth.

Stock Samsung Gingerbread kernels came with ondemand (not entirely sure)

Stock Froyo/Eclair was conservative.
[Epic 4G Themes] JohnCorleone:
Well, I just flashed it again on Genocide. I am running 1400/200 on demand. I am going to check CPU Spy to see if it performs similar to SetCPU. Curious if on demand still drops below 200 if its set as my minimum like Set did
[Epic 4G Themes] xan:
Voltage Control doesnt use any "hacks" for setting frequencies, it just works with standard implemented sysfs.

The governor is responsible for respecting max/min frequency, its kernel implementation that should keep CPU running within desired freqs.
[Epic 4G Themes] The Root:
Can the UI include a CPU temp and aninfo page?

Sent from my armed and operational battle station.
[Epic 4G Themes] xan:
SGS's only thermal monitor is refferred as "battery"...

Info page is somewhat coming, but I have to be sure what and how to put there.
[Epic 4G Themes] The Root:
Thanks! I like the time in state monitor.

Sent from my armed and operational battle station.
[Epic 4G Themes] tenaciousj:
Any reason why none of my settings are saved after I reboot? CPU governor and my overvolts for my lower frequencies (100-400mhz) are all set back to stock. I did save as boot settings and saved the profile.

Never mind issues is with my kernel.
[Epic 4G Themes] useport80:
yay!

sweet. i just flashed genocide and removed setcpu(tho i do like the 'charging' and 'screen off' profiles).

since i can't do profiles right now, whenever i do want to conserve battery power, can i just manually set it to 600/400? is that setting take effect immediately? or do i need to reboot or "set as boot settings" then reboot?

currently set to 1400/400, noop, ondemand, set as boot settings. in the past, my phone has issues coming out of sleep whenever i set the minimum <400.

initially i didn't know what "Voltage Control by nitr8" or who nitr8 was. the market didn't come up with anything when i searched for nitr8. i had purchased "Voltage Control Extreme by sulph8" and i thought they were different products by different vendors. but thankfully they are not. i installed the "Voltage Control by darek.xan" which i assume is the lite version, then installed the "Voltage Control Extreme by sulph8." apparently thats the unlock key :)... nitr8, sulph8, and darek.xan threw me off.

everything seems to be ok and im hitting 2500+ on quadrant with 1400/400 using unmodified voltages :)

thanks for everyones help!
[Epic 4G Themes] useport80:
setcpu?

since i purchased setcpu, is there anything i can do with setcpu now? or should i just keep it uninstalled?

i'd hate to not use an app i paid for but its not that big of a deal.
[Epic 4G Themes] xan:
Well I dont know about setcpu.. I personally dont use it :)

Applying settings makes them stick until next reboot, saving as boot (after applying!) makes them persistent, thats the way it works.
[Epic 4G Themes] fczeuner:
Nice work!

I'm using SRF1.1 and Genocide 1.1with fantastic results. I don't overvolt but bought the paid version as a way to say thanks. I hope you continue to develop it even further. Thanks again.
[Epic 4G Themes] savior02:
Does this work with syndicate rom?
[Epic 4G Themes] schnowdapowda:
Fail. Cmon man read a page up. Yes it does though. :)

cd's or tapes?
[Epic 4G Themes] XxLostSoulxX:
This sucks man i love this app and my phone got stolen so i cant even use this now!?!?!?!?!
[Epic 4G Themes] savior02:
Hows your battery life?
[Epic 4G Themes] savior02:
My bad I just came back into the rom scene
[Epic 4G Themes] The Root:
Xan - does time in "deep sleep" constitute a setting that your phone doesn't love is being used?
[Epic 4G Themes] xan:
Pls make yourself more clear, I dont understand what you are trying to tell me ;)
[Epic 4G Themes] The Root:
I'm using CPU Spy to see if certain settings work or don't work well with my phone. I'm noticing when I'm not getting the results I want, there's also a significant amount of time spent in "deep sleep" or a mhz level that is outside the governor's allowable range. I was wondering if there was a direct correlation between the phone going into that state and having a setting in an incompatible place.
[Epic 4G Themes] xan:
The "deep sleep" will be there always, there is no reason to disable it. Deep sleep is the state in which most of SoC domains are powergated (disabled).

VC is only letting the kernel know what you want, it requests certain behaviours. The implementation of features is completely dependent on kernel.

Clock changes are dependent on cpu-freq and governor. The governor requests desired frequency from cpu-freq and then its all up to cpu-freq. It should honor what governor requested, but if kernel is not patched well it might fail to set correct frequencies.

This might not be answer for your question, but I'm trying hard :)

What do you mean by 'setting in an incompatible place'?
[Epic 4G Themes] The Root:
When I leave my settings between 400mhz-1.3ghz noop/conservative no under/overvolting, cpu spy shows it always staying in that range and 200, 100 and deep sleep stay under the category of "never used states." If I undervolt and my phone gets 'iritable' I always notice it has spent some time in 100 mhz or deep sleep. I was wondering if I can use the deep sleep/100 mhz timing as a reasonable show that my phone isn't liking the adjustments I've made.
[Epic 4G Themes] xan:
Ah, thats what raspdeep observed once, long time ago.

Maybe you should try not to touch the 400mhz state, leave it at stock voltage and scaling down shouldnt occur.

Well, from my experience everything is cool until you got freezes.

Why you dont wanna use 100 and 200 mhz? hows your battery life with these settings?
[Epic 4G Themes] The Root:
Battery life is good, about 16 hours of normal use (obviously subjective.) I usually have a charger with me anyway, so battery life is rarely put to the test. My phone was getting wakelock on 100 mhz at times and wakelag at 200 mhz. I get better benchmarks and visible 'snappiness' when setting to 400-1300, so I feel like that's my safe range. Any undervolting has resulted in lagginess, lower benchmarks and wakelag.
[Epic 4G Themes] pre2epic4g:
this app would be a lot better if profiles were setup to work like SetCPU. Screen on 1000Mhz screen off max CPU is 400mhz or when charging the max CPU usage can be set at 200Mhz or whatever...

I dont want to be forced to manually change the profiles all the time to mimic what i said above. Might this capability already built in and I am just missing? If so, I would give a $5.00 donation just to have these features.
[Epic 4G Themes] Shoulon:
I love the app xan. I would like to add a note for future updates. When scrolling its abit hard to not change one of the undervolt setting accidentally.
[Epic 4G Themes] JohnCorleone:
Xan, great job with the update. I am running 1400/200 noop, on demand which means I actually fluctuate between 200 and 100. I haven't had any issues as of yet. It actually seems as stable as SetCPU to me and for some reason I got aa slight boost in benchmark scores(for what that's worth.) I just have a phone that doesn't like undervolting much at all. I am running the Genocide 1.1 IAP kernel at this time.
[Epic 4G Themes] xan:
hint for the ones having problems with scrolling on advanced tab: swipe your finger vertically over green/red icons, not seekbars.
[Epic 4G Themes] Custodian:
Okay, so where do I download? Don't see link in OP or this on the market

EDIT: nvm. I got it. :)
[Epic 4G Themes] Shoulon:
I figured out the left side scrolling after I posted lol...

So what's everyones uV's?

Currently have

1200mhz at 1250mv (I can get this lower I'm sure.)

1000mhz at 1150mv

Working on my lower speeds.
[Epic 4G Themes] JohnCorleone:
Everyone's undervolting will be different. Each Epic is unique that way. Its best to start the undervolting for 1000 mhz then 800 then 600,etc. You may not be able to undervolt the 100 or 200 stages much if at all. Same for the overclocked stages. That's why some people get wakelocks or sleep of death.
[Epic 4G Themes] Shoulon:
I didn't ask for help and I know everyone's will be different. That is exactly why I asked... Along with that i know how to OC and Undervolt. I'm a Computer builder, with a i7 at 4.2Ghz water-cooled. I dont mean to come off as mean or anything but i was just trying to create a discussion on this thread.

Question. Is it just me or do you get ERROR: failed to load profile. often after a crash? (I have journaling on)
[Epic 4G Themes] useport80:
seems to be ok considering i previously had setcpu and set my screenoff settings to 400/600mhz. that saved me a lot of battery life. this past saturday, my phone was at about 97% charged and i partied through the night with decent use without a problem. when i woke up on sunday at 4pm i had about 50ish left on my battery. i was in fairly low cell signal reception as well. using mainly sms/mms
[Epic 4G Themes] useport80:
i found this to be a life saver lol
[Epic 4G Themes] Shoulon:
Wouldn't the voltage contol be the real life saver? =P
[Epic 4G Themes] useport80:
well that's a given :)
[Epic 4G Themes] xan:
I got reports on market:

"Force closes alot EPIC 4G KERNEL*GENOCIDE 1.0 1.4 GHZ ROM* SFR 1.1.1"

"is this still version4 beta3? i still get random force closes on my epic4g running SFR1.1.1 with geocide kernel 1.1."

Anyone having fcs on Epic 4g report ;p

hey xan,

im new to android so i wasn't sure if the android market was the correct place to be adding detailed or useful troubleshooting information for devs. all of the comments i see are really short.

tell me where to look on my epic and i'll provide all the information you need.

as for the FCs, it happens probably 2-3 times a day, but i launch VC frequently to check settings and what not. after the FC, it opens up properly immediately.

it could be ATK.Pro killing it, although i've had VC added to my ignore list. perhaps some memory management software i have on that is killing it?

i also run "autokiller memory optimizer" which could also be killing VC. I've been running this just to see if it'll help performance and increase available memory since im usually sitting at 120-150megs free, which i feel is kinda low.
[Epic 4G Themes] xan:
I'm glad you are here :)

If you have fc please provide me logcat output, this way we can work on this :)

The market trace doesnt contain the location in my source, so I cant debug it. Thats bad because I'm so willing to fix it, but actually have no idea whats going on.

About autokiller: its fine to kill vc. It doesnt use any resources when its off. No persistent services/recievers.
[Epic 4G Themes] useport80:
hey xan,

ty for having me. i'm loving the android and the endless possibilities with it.

where do i get the logcat output?
[Epic 4G Themes] xan:
hmm... try to make it crash when connected via adb/connect immediately and copy text/ or use utility like CatLog (market, you can save logcat outputs :))
[Epic 4G Themes] useport80:
downloaded and installed.

i accidentally just cleared my darned log! :(

i usually use android system info to see the log, but i dont think that can copy/paste from it. i had an FC at 4:50pm EST too.

guess i'll have to wait for the next one.

ty for ur help
[Epic 4G Themes] xan:
No rush, just keep this in mind :) Maybe it could provide some more details.
[Epic 4G Themes] Shoulon:
Hey Xan, could I pm you to build a "how to" guide? I'm having issue's "testing" certain under-volt's.

How are we suppose to go about testing each speed? I had set min and max to each speed I tested. (e.g. 600mhz min and max) But once I tested them all together they refused to operate together.
[Epic 4G Themes] useport80:
woke up this morning and bam got a FC

here log #1
[Epic 4G Themes] xan:
I've taken a look at it: the information there is just about the same as in AM, it says "Unknown Source". Cant fix when I dont know what is the problem.
[Epic 4G Themes] BrooklynsFinest:
When I backup apps with titanium does it backup app settings such as backgriund colows in handcent, customizable preferences, etc.

Thanks!
[Epic 4G Themes] JohnCorleone:
XAN, I was wondering what I/O scheduler you recommend using to give the best balance of performance and battery life. When Voltage Control detects the kernel, it starts with "noop." I have read that CFQ is the one to use. I want your feedback on this. Thanks in advance.
[Epic 4G Themes] xan:
I'm running noop, it seems quite ok.

Something totally wierd is going on...

Basically this new version uses exactly the same UV interface, passes exactly the same UV values....

My bet is that kernels/rom is acting up, but cant verify it.
[Epic 4G Themes] JohnCorleone:
Thanks for the feedback XAN. I have actually had much better results with the current version of Voltage Control. The first version didn't like my phone but I have forgotten about SetCPU since you released this version
[Epic 4G Themes] Grommish:
I wonder if its not the Geno kernel.. I have VC on my SFR1.1.1/Twilight1.1 without issue. I loaded the Genocide1.1 Final kernel today and started getting weird things happen. No FCs, but complete lockups (including having the charge red led on after I unplug it) req batt pull. The odd thing is, it didn't seem to be OC related (this phone can't seem to handle UV)

I ran StressTest for an hour without issues under the geno kernel and vc@1.4ghz/cfq. But go to do an app and lockup.. sometimes right away, sometimes not. I restored back to my TW1.1 backup and its fine again @1.3..

I did try the geno @1.3ghz, but now that I think on it, I never tried with it completely stock.. tried cfq and noop both, and on conservative/performance/ondemand..
[Epic 4G Themes] insanity213:
I've run damn near every Genocide kernel (including ones that were never released) and have never had a problem. Also, I have never run SRF. Come to think of it, I've never run any ROM posted on XDA w/ Genocide.
[Epic 4G Themes] JohnCorleone:
I have run every Genocide kernel since .1 as well. The FINAL version was acting a little funny for me as well. I went back to the RC1 version for the time being until more users post feedback.
