Maybe because K9 is not a system app it may not start by itself but I've never used K9 before so I can't guarantee you anything.
[XPERIA X8 General] shadow7628:
I tested the solution. No improvement. I'm using XGin 5.1, the undervolt option is on, I froze the mail apk, I'm not using 3G 'cause it drains a lot of battery. I don't know what else to freeze. I also froze the maps.apk. Still no improvement.

I will give another try after I fully charge the phone.

Cheers!
[XPERIA X8 General] oskarq:
Gmail and map is frozen.

8h = 7% drain.

Sync and 3G is off.

Generally freezing Gmail didn't help me more than before.

However map is consuming a lot of energy.

So, I will keep map frozen and that's fair enough.
[XPERIA X8 General] Chris95X8:
Gmail is not consuming battery. Email is!
[XPERIA X8 General] oskarq:
I can't find email/mail apk through root uninstaller.
[XPERIA X8 General] Darkostica:
This has worked so well for me. I'm on my third day without charging and still have 31% battery! That's with a little less use than normal but I'm still very impressed and happy with the results!
[XPERIA X8 General] oskarq:
My final test over the weekend.

Friday 11am 100%

Monday 9am 5%

more than hour of calls,

1-2 hours of wifi surfing, sync only when wifi was on. 3G off.

freezing map is great!
[XPERIA X8 General] shadow7628:
Yep, it's working. Fully charged thursday, 11:00 AM, and on sunday 2:00 PM, 15% battery. Mail and maps frozen. Didn't use any widget. Undervolt checked.

Good job and thanks for the solution!

[XPERIA X8 General] Chris95X8:
So, did it work for you?
[XPERIA X8 General] Chris95X8:
Just to let you know guys, I installed XGin 5.3 and froze maps & email. I deleted the battery fix in config.sh, (??? I don't remember exact name of the file) no overclock, no undervolt and the result is the same. The battery lasts the same as in XGin 4.
[XPERIA X8 General] green2005:

Little help here,

I am currently using GingerDX v007, and i have installed Ant Tek

But it says that "Root access does not grant. Please ROOT your device before remove system app. You can ask Google for how to ROOT your phone"

Obviously i have already rooted my phone before i can install GingerDX.

Why i can't freeze any apps ?

I have already rebooted my phone and it still says the same..
[XPERIA X8 General] deedii:
Well i do this got to Settings > Application > Select the apps eg map, mail etc > Force close when not in use. :)

[Acer Iconia A500] scottw714:
Right now I purchase a Video in HD, download it, and then use Handbrake to get into a format my tab will play.

My computer is a bit older, so for example, I just downloaded 'Inception'. At 8GB it took about 6 hours (there server is slow, not mine), then I used Handbrake to reformat it, which took 12 hours. The size is roughly 3.5 GB after format.

Does anyone know of any sites that have formatted video ready to go ? Please no illegal torrent advise, just a legitimate site with good connection speeds.

Not interested in the markets rent program, ripping DVD's and because I travel a lot, streaming is out as well. I just want to own the video and be able to download it in a format that works with our tabs.

Thanks.

[Acer Iconia A500] margosmark:
No idea of a site that offers that, however what site is it that you use that you can buy a digital copy like that?

[HTC Inspire 4G] Four-Fifty-X:
Anyone know if there is a way to remove UOT mods (like animations and battery meter stuff)? Or, is the only way to restore from a nandroid backup? thx
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nickovtyme:
Flash original ROM framework.

Basically, flash ROM without wiping data and stuff and it will replace UOT with original framework.

Or if you still have the original framework-res.apk...just put it back into \system\framework.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Four-Fifty-X:
Tried copying the original framework-res.apk and got boot looped... oh well, restoring now...
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nickovtyme:
Hmmm...thats worked for me in the past.

But you could've just reflashed the ROM. If you don't wipe data you won't lose anything.
[HTC Inspire 4G] diablo009:
This process will NOT work on Inspire like it does on Captivate.

I too learnt about this only some time back.

On Captivate, u r copying to internal SD, and moving from there. So it works.

On Inspire, its the external SD where u r copying it to. U would need to copy it to /system folder, and then move it to /system/framework.

Or

U cud update the CWM flashable zip with these files and flash it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] di11igaf:
Copy to /system. Set permission to read/write, read, read.

Then MOVE from /system to /system/framework.

Youhave to do it this way cause you have to set the permissions correctly before you overwrite the old framework - so you copy to /system first to get the permissions how they should be, then move to /system /framework.

If you do it like.this you'll be fine, if you don't=bootloop
[HTC Inspire 4G] Four-Fifty-X:
Yep, found that out the hard way. Retested it too. Once you copy over the old framework, you can't do anything, including setting the proper permissions...

No big deal like I said. I had a backup, but it was a month or so old, so I had to do a little re-installing and stuff...
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nickovtyme:
Sorry... I wasn't trying to tell ya wrong. I knew I had done it I'm the past but I forgot exactly how. I think ultimately I just reflashed the original ROM.

I learned something too.
[HTC Inspire 4G] diablo009:
Cheers :)

After close to I think half a dozen boot loops, dilli (dilligaf) cleared me out why the process that worked all the time on captivate does not work on inspire.

[HD2 General] Simkha:
Hi everybody

Need a big favor. Is there anybody that purchase hd2 in italy. I have few questions regarding global warranty. The situation is that my hd2 is broken and here in my country the original htc service won't repair it under a warranty. I have my hd2 under global warranty at least one year- till 2012. that's what on global customer support told me when they checked imei number.

What to do. I like my hd2 and i would like to repair it.
[HD2 General] TheATHEiST:
So what is the "big" favour?
[HD2 General] Simkha:
I need scanned global warranty paper.
[HD2 General] orangekid:
what???

HTC says it's covered for a year globally but not in Italy?
[HD2 General] Simkha:
I lost the warranty paper when moving from one appartment to another.

And now when i contact htc support they told me that phone is in warranty but they cannot help me by providing some paper that i can show to our service technisons. So i need one scanned as they told me this way will be ok.

It a shame that they do not have any kind of global data base from where they can see if the phone is in warranty or not.

Like the htc support centre can see that phone is in warranty but the service isn't happy with that.

So if anyone know anyone that have italian global warranty. I need scanned form of warranty. I belive this form is in every box supplied with hd2.

I have defected touch screen(it stopped working). Yesterday I manege to fix it by pulling out the red power button lightley. It starded working but this isn't solution on long terms. The service for replacing screen is 180 eur.

So I turnet to you XDA people to help me out as you did so many times before.

Tnx for any replay
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jed Dignazio:
Can anybody confirm if this works on the Epic with the Wii remote?? I know Wiimote never worked on Galaxy S devices, but this?

How awesome would this be along with Tv-out working!!

**Edit, not working yet. But progress is being made. Follow here:

It looks like they are making some progress and are actively working on a fix. the Google issue tracker can be found here:

http://code.google.com/p/android-blu...es/detail?id=7

We’ve all seen old videos of people hacking various devices so they could use them in ways never meant to be used. While I can’t teach you how to wire your PS2 controller to drive your car, I can tell you that using your Wiimote to play Yongzh’s famous emulators. And believe it or not it’s incredibly simple. So, you’ve gotten Yongzh’s famous emulators for free and you want to really game. You have a phone without a physical keyboard and you’re sick of just playing RPGs. The virtual keyboard just doesn’t do Super Mario 64 justice, does it? Well, welcome in Bluez IME: The tool that’ll redo how you play emulators on your phone.

Step 1: Download Bluez IME from the Market. Sadly, the app only is confirmed to work with the following devices:

* HTC Desire 2.2

* HTC Desire 2.3.1 Oxygen

* HTC Evo

* HTC HD

* Samsung Captivate

* Samsung Galaxy S

If you don’t have one of those devices, try it out anyway. It may work. If not, email the dev and see if you can convince him to support your device.

Step 2: Go into your settings menu, select language and keyboard, and activate Bluez IME.

Step 3: Go into Bluez IME settings and activate Bluetooth. In the Select device driver menu, select Wiimote. Click Select Device and press scan. While it is scanning hit the sync button on your Wiimote (that red button right next to the batteries)

Step 4: Use the Select IME command in the settings to select Bluez as your keyboard. You may need to redo the syncing in step 3.

At this point, your phone should send you a message saying that a device as been connected. If not, redo step 3 and make sure all of the settings are correct.

You’ve got it connected now, you’re almost there!

Step 5: Go into your favorite emulator, and go to menu>settings>other settings. Make sure “Use input method” is checked. You can now go into your Input Settings and map the keys anyway you want! Enjoy your playing!

http://code.google.com/p/android-bluez-ime/issues/detail?id=7

from what I understand it's a kernel thing..

does this mean it can be fixed with a custom kernel?

if so, would it work with a custom kernel on a TouchWiz or Sense ROM?

Comment 46 by project member kenn...@hexad.dk, Jun 6, 2011

Yes, that is my understanding, a custom ROM will enable L2CAP and thus this. As I understand it, Sense and TouchWiz are "just" homescreens + some bundled apps. But since HTC/Samsung own these, it may be hard to get/make a custom ROM with Sense/TouchWiz.

Comment 47 by ChicoK...@gmail.com, Jun 10 (3 days ago)

I'll get specifics for you later on, but from when I tested it, the official Classics Controller did not function. Oddly enough, a PS2>Classics Controller adapter I have that fails to register on another Wiimote IME did take button inputs, but the wrong physical buttons were pressing the wrong virtual buttons. I'll get a more exact mapping typed up to specify.

Comment 48 by project member kenn...@hexad.dk, Jun 12 (2 days ago)

@ChicoK: Could you post me a Logcat showing what happens when you connect the classic controller? Are you using the MotionPlus plugin?

Comment 51 by Hc.Hot.C...@gmail.com, Yesterday (27 hours ago)

Works fine for me exept one big bug. When you try to change mapping for Left thumbstick left (nunchuck) it automatically changes the mapping for Button A (remote) thus making either button or thumbstick unusable. I dont think this even requires a wiimote to test, so should not probably be a problem to fix :)

P.S. Both buttons do actually work, they only map as one.

Comment 52 by Hc.Hot.C...@gmail.com, Yesterday (26 hours ago)

Looking at the source. They definately have the same id.

svn/trunk/BluezIME/src/com/hexad/bluezime/WiimoteReader.java

Line 67 "KeyEvent.KEYCODE_A, //Byte 1, bit 3"

and

Line 121 along with line 147 "KeyEvent.KEYCODE_A, //Classic, Left stick left"

Comment 53 by project member kenn...@hexad.dk, Today (16 hours ago)

Oops, there are too many keys :)

Attached is a debug version which has the left-thumbstick-left reassigned to Q.

I will put it on Market shortly.

[LG Revolution] nick99wj:
From what I've been seeing on a few forums, the Charge gets significantly better 4G speeds than the Rev in the same location.

Few thoughts:

Easy first question...why?

Is is hardware?(if so, end of discussion)

Is it software?

-Is there some type of "cap/limiter" than we can work around with root?

-Is it (somehow) limited by verizon? If so, why does the Charge get all the fun?
[LG Revolution] bwhxeon:
It has something to do with the radios. The reception is the same when I'm at home, but at work there is a clear difference, but.......my lg revolution never loses 4g connection compared to my thunderbolt which would bounce in and out of reception. When I'm at home the download speeds are the same 17-20mb + while at work it was 17-20mb down for the thunderbolt and 10-15mb down for the revolution.

The other interesting thing is my upload speads on my lg revolution are the same or better than the thunderbolt and no matter what my signal is, it never drops below 4mb upload.

Side Note, questions need to go in the question or general section. Its pretty frowned apon to post these kind of things in the development section.

Alright Folks Paid apps aren't Warez, it doesn't goes against rules because if XDA TV Reviews that app, then what, what are you saying that their wrong, and their lying to the public. Get your Rules Together and stop the BS.

This is more of a Need To Know Basis. Stop posting things like we don't support warez, when not realizing that that's not warez. yes you don't support warez, but you need to know what is and isn't warez.

IE...(Alternative Markets) isn't warez and paid apps are the same if you do buy or don't buy it its the same product nothing changed, they got a question help 'em out.

like i said Even on XDA TV Azrienoch i believe reviewed Yamm a market like applanet.

With the newly deodexed honeycomb I have gotten the itch to start looking into how to create/develop my own rom.

What is the best way to start learning, is there a good starting point, I have been doing some reading but it just seems so overwhelming.

I do have basic Linux knowledge and can whip up a linux VM in no time to get crackin. I have been modding my EVO for the last year so i know how to be a "user" and have tinkered with the xoom but have only scratched the surface.

So my question is just this, Where to start??

any input would be helpful.
[Xoom General] DefaultBR:
+1!

need a little walkthrough too :S!!

and someone can say what files NEVER EDIT to not brick the xoom!!
[Xoom General] comagnum:
i too would be highly interested in learning what steps to take.
[Xoom General] ydaraishy:
Get that VM set up, and get your environment set up so you can build AOSP.

Look through the source so you know what parts of Android are found where in the tree.

Learn a little about the platform, what does what...

Basically, just get your hands dirty.
[Xoom General] bossjeeves:
so this is kind of what I expected for an answer but I would like a little more if you dont mind.

Like maybe a couple of links pointing in the right direction, like what does the environment need for tools etc.

That's like saying jump in a lions den and see what ticks him off. Can we get more details please? I want to get into theming and want to know the ideal OS to do it on. I was hoping on doing it in Linux but want advice from themers.
[Xoom General] alias_neo:
IV been playing hippie for a couple of weeks so I don't know if I missed something but, unless the full AOSP source has been released, a deodex rom will help with nothing but theming.

You can't do much to customise a ready built rom, and you would be wasting your time to try anything but the simplest of mods.

That being said, if you're happy to play with smali you might achieve a little more.
[Xoom General] bossjeeves:
this is exactly what I am talking about here, This is kind of why I brought it up in the xoom forum, since we dont have source and we do have a deodexed rom wouldnt playing with that be a great place to start? if so like what would be the best place to start, you say play with smali, now I know I can google and get tons of answers but I am asking to explain a little more because I trust the feedback from here and I think others might benefit also
[Xoom General] alias_neo:
Smali is a tool that will reverse engineer (baksmali) dalvik byte code into (barely) human readable code. If you can learn to understand this you can reverse and modify stuff with it. If i remember right, brut.all is the guy responsible, have a read around, but i warn you, its not for the feint of heart.

[Xoom General] e.mote:
I think the best way to learn anything is just to read a lot, and to search for any questions you have. There are a thousand ways to learn to hack, but they all require the initiative to find answers on your own.

Sorry if this sounds patronizing. I always hated it when I get on a board and ask for something, and some curmudgeon geek tells me "Google is your friend". But it's true. You get better answers faster, as you can avail from the entire Internet, as opposed to the small number of people who reply to your query.

Thanks to the dude who linked to the Cyan advice post. My takeaway is this one line:

"There is a *ton* of information out there but any kind of "step-by-step rom cooking guide" is going to be a complete fail- it's too broad of a subject."

IMO if you are serious about ROM hacking, you need a dedicated linux environment. Cygwin is OK for run-time stuff, but too limited for anything else. If you only want to run basic bash commands, a simpler solution is win-bash (http://win-bash.sourceforge.net).

I'm kinda in the same shoes you are. Android interests me, although I don't have a Xoom or an Android tablet for that matter. Was gonna get a HC tab to tinker, but HC is still too green, so decided on a Nook Color for educational purposes. It's been out a while, and has many hacks already done that I can peruse. That, and it'll be useful for my "read a lot" mantra above.
