Agreed to that! i am myself on 192.. i like it keep my home screen empty.. so its personal preference and may be getting used to it :D

Btw thanks for posting those nav bar links
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
I have a thread for that with a easy tool
[Galaxy S II General] deathfrag:
Guys,

It's been a week since I shifted to Hydrog3n ROM. The ROM is pretty awesome, but the only thing I'm not happy is with it's battery life.

I tried to play around with the Scaling Governors. luzactive comes by default & it drained my battery very quickly.

So I read some threads and switched to Smartassv2, which seems better than lulzactive. Has anyone else tried these? Please suggest a good option that will give me a balance of performance & battery.

Some suggested to keep the max CPU to 1 GHz and min to 200 MHz. Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
How max battery backup you are getting??
[Galaxy S II General] deathfrag:
I used to get 23-24hrs day of battery with Samsung Stock. (with sync on most of the times)

Now even when I've stopped data & use phone mildly for calls, 5-10 mins of Wifi, i get around 20 hours. :(
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
Will you upload your battery graph as well as BBS log?
[Galaxy S II General] deathfrag:
I don't have BBS. It is a paid app, right?

Downloading it right now. I knew it was free for XDA members

Installed. But how to use it. Is there a handy guide? How to take a log dump and paste it here.
[Galaxy S II General] safepacket:
Which kernel ? Try Neak sio/on demand with after idle ,next boost with UV

Else try noop/conservative with lion heart enabled with UV

Btw B33 and B32 overall has poor battery try old builds search hydro thread

thoravukk 21 is nice and latest one is good too I am on it .

Bottom line try experimenting with available kernels and make sure u test it across couple of charge cycles
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
Run the app, left option key>action>dump to file..

the file will be created in the usb storage directory..

[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:

[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
you have to flash gapps separately, and if you use mdpi below 182 you need mdpi phone.apk, not tested the gps yet

Guys, does the quoted post mean that only the people using cm9 need to update to 3.1?

I'm confused!! :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
it means other aokp rom users have to wait until the rom gets updated(to use 3.1) or they can use rc6 until that.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Finally my confusion is done with CM9 after doing a re-flash (also did a reset after that)...When I 1st flashed it showed internal (11GB) as external and external as internal (8GB) in storage after re-flashing it was normal Internal is 11GB and External is 8GB now :D

Gingerbread keyboard for ICS please? :( Or maybe can someone modify the ICS keyboard to have the smileys? Mine doesn't have it but I use them a lot so I need it
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:

[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Use ics keyboard donation version, it has Smileys on long pressing enter key

[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
IMO 4.6" display size is identical for alleged SIII

and for information galaxy M would have 4" display
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
No smileys? If you long press the enter key you will get the smileys don't you?

And how did nelsonoski1972 get 6 hours of screen on and so much backup? Very nice buddy :)

@bala! Your 169 dpi screen is, making me jealous :mad: and also I would like to understand one thing. No wakelock means you will not find ANY wakelock in BBS app?
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
for your info he is on GB Rom:p
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
But but but.. I never got that much even in GB :banghead: well I did not understand much of Android at those times anyways.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Not true at all scenarios, there are some wake locks which will not be shown in screen but still comes under raw wakelocks

[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
But when you told no wakelock in few posts above you meant this list on the screen shot was empty?

Well, after I posted that post I was thinking whether I knew much now. And well no I don't :p

Huh? Party time? :screwy:
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Party? No...For another thing

Codework said :

/mnt/emmc = internal storage

/mnt/sdcard = external sdcard

The system auto defaults to your external sdcard. If you do not own a microsd card, then you have to switch the mountpoints.

You can switch the mountpoints at systemsettings->storage->storage configuration.

Switching to "use extended internal storage" has the following result:

/mnt/emmc = external sdcard

/mnt/sdcard = internal storage

Do a reboot after switching, otherwise the setting doesn't get applied!!!

Not about TV also...............Can you post A screenshot of Storage in settings if you're still on 14/4 build

You don't have external SD card?
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
well its mixed :D now seeing TV :D

@ harsha

na, i meant "no wake locks" in battery graph. as i said earlier there would be some wakelocks in bbs kernel wakelocks . some of them like alaram manager are shown as wakelocks in bbs but still many apps are dependent on alarm manager service. so as long as there is no small blue bars in battery history graph and no battery drain there is not much to care about bbs wakelocks.

@ ravi

whats special?

@ iekansh

Torrents are really hard to block . Especially if you make it encrypted. Traditional firewall is not a good solution to block torrents. Because of the fact that torrents do port hopping and most of the time you will keep guessing on which port trafiic is running as its pretty random.

You would need a application firewall which understands applications so that it can detect and can block them. You may want to look at products offered by juniper , Palo Alto networks , Cisco ,sonic wall etc

You may want to check with your existing firewall vendor that they have these capabilities or not.

All.of them are very expensive. An ids/ips solution (intrusion detection / intrusion prevention) can also do it. Snort is an free ids which can help you block torrent with the help of signatures but not so reliable.

Its bit too complicated hope that makes sense to you .
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
cant we just block the particular exe file in firewall? that will just block the whole torrent thingy right?
[Galaxy S II General] sam142000:
I have AVG Internet security 2012 intalled and it has a feature of blocking any exe file manually.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
not only avg, but most of the internet securtiy packages that includes its own firewall has that feature. :)

but when a geek renames utorrent.exe to ut.exe and starts downloading this method would be ineffective afaik

[Galaxy S II General] Ankit Tulsian:
We can even rename exe to text and it still runs as exe.With this users are fooled and malware can be installed easily.With my little bit knowledge in malware i would suggest never download file from torrents.Most of them are binded with malware and no Antivirus or Internet security can detect them.They are crypted using some software which makes them undetectable
[Galaxy S II General] safepacket:
Guys we are talking about a network firewall and not host based firewall which sits on your PC.

Host based firewall will again be in effective solution as there are number of ways to bypass it. In large office networks blocking policies are done at the network level as its much easy and also much effective. Network firewall can also find you the source IP address and other details of the offending user who uses torrents and stuff so that warnings can be given to employees.

Host based firewall block traffic based on again ports and torrents hops ports. Blocking exe is bad idea as you can always use another exe.

#*posted on the move *#
[Galaxy S II General] Ankit Tulsian:
If the malware is crypred then its impossible to detect.The virus will not be detected till the infected file is sent to AV companies and then it takes like a week or so depending on how strong the crypting is once they find the virus in it the particular virus behaviour will be added to there database and once you update the av then that file will be detected as virus.Which AV you use?I will pm you a file just download and scan with any AV you want and let me know the results.

I had to return a defective TF, but just prior to doing so, I did a factory reset to delete all my personal data. I did keep a backup of the SDCARD directory!

When I received my replacement TF, I signed into my Google /Android account and was happy to have ALL my apps re-download, but was somewhat upset I lost my Home screens and app data. :mad:

What could I have done (I'm not rooted) to backup my Home screens and app data, just prior to that factory reset. I'm surprised there was no way/option to restore these two critical areas of my tablet. Wouldn't you think these areas should be restored too?

Should this be functionality provided by Google/Android, ASUS or third-party app?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ad1980:
Need to be rooted and then you can use an app like Titanium Backup. Or, if you use a custom launcher, many of them have options where you can save your setup to the SD card and restore it that way.

Edit: The custom launcher method does not require root.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nrapallo:
Thanks, I had hoped HoneyComb 3.1 would have "grown up" enough to allow this. :rolleyes:

Home Screen Backup

I haven't tried it on a Transformer/Honeycomb but MyBackup Pro has the option to save & restore the home screen on my Desire (Froyo). Yes it's a 3rd party App but it might be worth the $5. There's also a 30 day free version.
