[Atrix 4G General] Atrixx:
I have a HTC trophy, and it really is a let down. Battery life is poor. Lasting maybe 7 hours when idle and when im using it throughout the day, usually it will last for about 4 hours. Camera isnt great, games are really awkward to play, oh and the speaker is crackles regardless of how loud it is. I will admit i do like the music player, the photoviewer and overall UI is really nice. But im sure i can customize android to the same standard. Right? Though, I heard atrix is alot smoother when playing games, but i dont know if it could rival my ps3 haha

I'll be getting one soon as well. can't wait

[Atrix 4G General] drock212:
I too came from WP7 (lg quantum) and I tell you the Atrix is amazing I've never had any of the issues people reported and the battery really is that great. If you properly charge it from day one (drain the battery then let it charge for a day, and repeat) the battery will be amazing I no lie get around 14hrs of useage and im constantly youtubing, texting, downloading some game or playing a game, but using setcpu I have it underclocked at 816mhz but even at full I would get 10-12 hours of use. And as far as root. My favorite method is gladroot. Its clean neat and seems to work throughout updates.

But thats just my 2 cents :)

[Atrix 4G General] Atrixx:
Thanks Guys, I really cant wait to get my hands on it. Battery life is a big issue with me, considering my phone was at 50% by 8:30 in the morning, and i had only taken it off the charger at 7ish. But to be fair, i had been on youtube and reddit for the hour and a bit. And I learnt today that my speaker doesnt work, its now just plain static. How lovely.
[Atrix 4G General] WiredPirate:
I use GladRoot because many have had problems with Gingerbreak doing funny things.

You will probably want to get an extra micro usb charger.
[Atrix 4G General] Atrixx:
I heard motorola has a signed bootloader. Which means no Roms, right? But what else does it limit me doing? But thanks, I probably will use Gladroot.
[Atrix 4G General] ChumleyEX:
There are roms
[Atrix 4G General] WiredPirate:
There are no custom ROMs or custom kernels available for the Atrix at the moment, there are "pseudo ROMs" that apply themes and hacks etc but still use the Motorola kernel. Supposedly 2nd init will open the door for some true ROMs/kernels in the future, but there is no eta. Dont hold your breathe for an unlocked bootloader like many are doing, there is no reason to expect one. I love CM7 on my Captivate and before that I flashed every ROM to the moon and back.. Hands down the Atrix is a better piece of hardware and is much more of a reliable phone out of the box. I am much more happy with the Atrix in its current state than I ever was with my Captivate running any custom ROM.

Edit: I stand corrected. It seams there is an unlocked bootloader solution being offered by Moto now is some countries and/or on a few leaked builds. Fingers crossed Moto/Att push this update to us also! But as of right now there is no official word. Only speculation and word passed from ear to ear.

The last few days I was looking at the flyer port for desire hd and it is going great. So I was wondering why our devs haven't ported it yet knowing that it is similar to the kingdom port so same tweaks,hacks and drivers and also due to the fact that the htc hd2 has similar hardware to the desire hd. I hope we can see this port soon.

I think sbryan and daekin are looking to port the flyer sense already. Give them time sbryan needs to get his hdtv fixed. If you didn't know already sbryan is one of the devs in the dhd beatmod flyersense port and him and daekin have worked on roms together. In fact daekin eclipse rom is a continuation of sbryan previous vivo port.

Please can we put all questions in q&a.you got me excited thinking its been ported already :-P

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rikz112:
Hi all

does anyone use widget locker looks very nice using on go launcher however i am sure this is using my battery faster the leaving touchwiz on insted has anyone found this??

i have a rooted sg2 running KE7
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] _delice_doluca_:
Is it possible? i beieve the personal data partition which is 127 Mb takes place in the physical ram and it causes that we have only 300 and something Mb of ram for users.. since it s mostly taken by android apps users have about 120-150 mb of ram.. even galaxy tab with froyo has 444Mb.. so i thoght that 127 Mb part could maybe be created in sd card instead of ram.. it would be slower of course but with ext4 convertion this slowness could be ignored with the huge amount of free ram in my guess..

so is there a way to do that? or is there any unlogical part? because i really want to know why i cant use my whole ram for user (after switching to touchwiz 4and filling the screens with widgets the phone got really slower with freezes some times.. so it made me think about that)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bigdyl69:
Sounds like an awesome idea if someone knows how to pull it off
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zurchpet:
There is no personal data partition in RAM.

What you see in missing RAM is what is reserved for the kernel. He needs RAM to manage the system. And some RAM is reserved for special purpose (by device drivers), like video recording etc. That is why you see only 330 MB as maximum free RAM.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] _delice_doluca_:
it might not be a perfect idea because the sd card partitition is so slower than RAM .. so moving dbdata (personel data) to there would slow it down ..

but i have just looked at a samsung galaxy tab again and realised it has 489 Mb of user avaiable memory out of 512 MB (with the turkcell turkish rom).. so it made me wonder what that 127 Mb part which exists in galaxy s but does not in galaxy tab is.. because i have read that personal data makes the device make/recieve calls and mesages.. i dont think so because galaxy tab also can do that without sacrofising 160-170 Mb of memory..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] _delice_doluca_:
thanks for the asnwer.. so what exactly is inside of this missing RAM part? as far as i know to record video it needs the cache memory.. its something like 30 Mb.. thats ok.. and samsung galaxy tab is also missing nearly that amount.. but this 160 Mb is too much for only a kernel i guess? kernels are like 6 mb..

and why galaxy tab does not need to sacrofise such amount of memory? because they share the same ram, CPU and GPU.. so pysically they are same but why are their structures different..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AlexandreT:
I believe the Tab has actually more physical memory available than the SGS. If I remember correctly it actually has more than 512mb of ram and so the available ram is higher than in the SGS. Its possible they didn't advertise it because it would simply make it look like they made something wrong with the SGS architecture or advertisement.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] _delice_doluca_:
i never thought it like that.. maybe..

but in every source i can find it says both have 512 Mb of memory.. so if samsung is not lying (i guess if they did someoe would find it out and spread the news) galaxy s has a software disadvantage.. besides we all know some kernels are expanding the memory from a few Mbs to 10Mb.. maybe there is a way to exapnd it even more without harming the working of the phone..

or maybe there is a way to make an entire new software and partitition structure (which reminds me of cyanogen mod, how much memory it gives to the user?) ..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] _delice_doluca_:
i found this ;

"the samsung rom uses a ram disk for the os. that's not necessary. putting the OS on "disk" will free up a lot of ram. "

so i believe this software related situaton could be fixed (at least some of the ram could be saved) ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mathijs727:
I think there's a reason samsung didn't put the OS on the "disk".

Ram is lots faster than the internal SD card, so I think it would only slow the device down.

My little brother has a HTC Sensation, which has ~750MB of ram, but only 5xx is usable.

So i think it wouldn't be possible to have that much free ram...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] _delice_doluca_:
i have checked.. in HTCs web page it says HTC Sensation has 768Mb of ram .. and samsung says both galaxy s and galaxy tab have 512 Mb of ram..

i assume everyone is saying the amount of the ram including the shared parts..

and i assume they all create their roms and kernels based on google sources..

so what is the reason of the difference between the ram amounts of galaxy s and galaxy tab? kernel needings can not be so much different.. they have lots of things in common...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] _delice_doluca_:
i came back to stock rom (odexed) with stock UI and filled the screen with as much as widgets i could... then i tried everything to get it frozen but i couldnt even slow it down...

for the first time i felt like some hardware in my galaxy s was not enough after i installed touchwiz 4 with other sgsII apps (like e-mail, weather widget etc..) .. and i could not believe a UI could cause lagging (even freezing) ..

then i realised that galaxy tab had much more available ram.. i am still kind of obssessed about this and really wonder if this is possible..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AlexandreT:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8587641&postcount=75

Like I said before, the Tab has actually 640mb of physical ram, more than the 512mb on the SGS. I'm guessing there really is nothing more we can do right now. Read up on the link I posted. If you want you can also read the whole thread that post comes from. There is lots of Dev talk on the subject.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] _delice_doluca_:
i read all of them.. and it encouraged me to write and e-mail to samsung.. every source i can find says both deviced have 512 mb of ram.. (please nobady say samsung does not have to tell how much of the ram will be available for users, its like announcing an 1ghz cpu with a software which only forces it to work at 800Mhz) ..
[Xperia Arc General] sbong:
Hi All,

Seems like there is a lack of information on how to create pre-rooted system images for those with unlocked bootloaders.

There is a new .146 firmware available now but we're still waiting for it to be rooted.

I had messaged Bin4ry previously and he had provided a rough guide. I do not have a X10 nor the knowledge to create a custom yaffs2 tool. So I'm sharing the info here and hope one of you can help with this:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falconyx:
Greetings, was just wondering if my amount of free memory is good right now. I am running a classic desire with CM7 A2SD and I also use autokiller (ultimate settings). Now on startup I can squeeze up to 288-290mb free with 80-85mb used. A bit later on though it usually drops to 260-275mb free. Phone feels quite snappy tbh but still are those values good or can I get more out of it? :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
You shouldn't use auto killer. But yeh it is good having that amount of free memory.

Swyped...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falconyx:
Thanks for your reply, I am not a fan of app killing programs generally, but heard that this one gets the job really done and actually I get higher values with it. Why is it not suggested to use this? I've done some research and it seems opinions on process killing are quite controversal.. Anyways, thx again for info ;)

[Wildfire General] stratosWRC:
I have found 'Traffic' 'Android' with no icon, listed in widgets. I am not sure if this is left over from uninstalled app? If I add the widget a black screen appears with three white boxes;

Widget name

Destination

Save

If I fill in the boxes it places a sync icon on the homescreen which doesn't appear to do anything.

Any idea what this is, anyone?
[Wildfire General] zuradv:
I have such a problem
[Wildfire General] crni6:
Same here...it look like google put it on our sistem but I dont know what is for.
[Wildfire General] JLishere:
I've had the same widget appear lately. I use a Nexus One, stock 2.3.4 unrooted. The widget is a simple traffic light icon. It asks only for a name (label) and place (needs to be a complete address in order to work). When created, the widget displays current traffic conditions to the destination you specified, based on your current location. The light is red, yellow or green. It is constantly updated. Additionally, it displays the travel time in minutes. Location tracking must be enabled for it to work.

I gave it a try, and I must say it's quite useful. You can be out and about somewhere, and always know roughly how long it takes to go home, for instance.

[Wildfire General] eikcihc:
Hi all, sorry im an IT noob,

But after using alpharevx to s-off and nej's method, i've successfully rooted my phone..

Now what do i do nxt?

How to flash a rom?

IF possible someone give me a step by step guide pls thanks :)
[Wildfire General] pulz:
You need to install clockword mod recovery first.

Then create a gold card.

You can then copy new ROM files to your SD card and then boot into recovery to install them.

This is very primitive, but let me know if u encounter any problems.

Google is your friend :)
[Wildfire General] eikcihc:
hmmm thanks!

if im not wrong i already installed the recovery when rooting? no? how to install clockwork mod recovery?

hmmmm what u mean by creating a gold card?

sorry for the over asking of questions :/
[Wildfire General] bx19:
You should search things first. Otherwise u will mess up things. Ok...
[Wildfire General] eikcihc:
tried searching but dont understand all of them =/
[Wildfire General] bx19:
Great.

Have u downloaded the custom rom.
[Wildfire General] eikcihc:
Yeah I downloaded the latest one... from cyanogenmod website. What to do next?
[Wildfire General] bx19:
Put that file in memory card.

Then reboot to recovery.

Then select option to do factory reset / wipe data / wipe cache / wipe dalvik cache.

Then select install zip from sdcard. Then select choose zip from sdcard. Then select ur file downloaded. That's all. Takes about 5min to install and 5min to 1st boot.

And in recovery mode, the trackpad should be used for selecting option. And power button for go back option. If u r stuck with an android picture then press power button.
[Wildfire General] Lesicnik1:
Can you get to the recovery?

Flash it
[Wildfire General] bx19:
And regarding cm7 also download google apps and flash in the same way.

And that's all for cm7 AFAIK. u don't need any extra kernels if u r a simple user. OC KERNEL is also inbuilt. Check cyanogenmod settings under settings.

Bharat
[Wildfire General] eikcihc:
Ok thanks. I'm aware of the clearing of data etc but what about titanium backup and nandroid? I dun rly get that part. Isit done before flashing the rom? And another question is will the kernal change too after I flash the rom? Would rly appreciate it!
[Wildfire General] eikcihc:
Oh ok so meaning I can overclock if I flash cm7 rom? Hmmm Google apps? How to download them?
[Wildfire General] bx19:
Nandroid backup should be done before installing a custom rom. It is must if u ask me bcoz it clears many issues.

And titanium backup is for advanced users to be used after flashing a custom rom. Yes kernel might change depending on its presence in the custom rom. But don't worry. Custom kernels will be better than stock kernel.

Edit: Titanium backup can also be used before installing custom rom to backup contents. These contents can be restored after installing custom rom.
[Wildfire General] bx19:
Google apps will be present at where u downloaded the custom rom I think. But if u make a google search it is easy to find. Don't forget to download for buzz.
[Wildfire General] eikcihc:
Hmmm so meaning I only have to do nandroid backup? Can u guide me along how to do that? And regarding Google Apps too. Thanks!
[Wildfire General] Lesicnik1:
You can do a nandroid backup in the recovery.

Backup/Restore option if my memory is correct.

Then just click backup and wait a bit :)
[Wildfire General] bx19:
Nandroid backup can be done from the custom recovery. Explore it and u will find it under nandroid. Takes 5 min to backup. A size if around 250MB on sdcard will be used.

And Google apps is a zip file around 10mb which can be flashed in the same way from the custom recovery as a custom rom flashing process.
[Wildfire General] eikcihc:
Hmmm u mean when I'm flashing the rom I choose that option when I press recovery? Or Isit now when I haven't flashed?
[Wildfire General] eikcihc:
Oh okay thanks! Ill try. So basically that's it right? But what about contacts on my phone? Will it be transferred or must I change them all to sim card? anyway just being curious will flashing s custom rom be of a huge difference?
[Wildfire General] Lesicnik1:
You need a nandroid backup BEFORE flashing a rom, because that's like a system recovery image. If something goes wrong, you can still go back.
[Wildfire General] :
Nope

U should do it before flashing rom. And even better before doing the factory reset.
[Wildfire General] :
Regarding contacts, someone also faced loss of contacts.

Better backup them to gmail account = sync with gmail contacts

Edit : wow. U r thinking of everything. Everyone is just eager in flashing rom and then loosing data.
[Wildfire General] eikcihc:
So u mean now I can perform it already? What does it backup anyway?
[Wildfire General] :
Yes. Do it.

Backs up everything AFAIK.

but smaller things like msgs contacts are to be backed up seperately I think.

When u restore it at a later time, u will feel it as like using it now.
[Wildfire General] eikcihc:
Alright! Thanks a million. Hm but after performing the backup I dun have to restore it right? Isit just in case I lose everything along the way? Anyway, any mustdos for rooted phones? :p
[Wildfire General] Lesicnik1:
You only need to restore if something messes up :)

And must dos: Overclocking and JIT compiling :)
[Wildfire General] eikcihc:
Ok another thing, for titanium backup do I need to backup before flashing rom and restore it back after flashing rom?
[Wildfire General] :
Restore is needed when facing issues. Alternatively it will also be helpful while experimenting things.

Must do' s will be a big list really.

Overclock and underclock according to ur needs. Overclocking drains battery while later improves it.

Live wallpapers - my favs are starfield and nexus revamped.

Jit - default enabled in cm7. Increases performance little bit.

Tethering apps - most of the tethering apps are root only ones. If u want bt pan tether, go for "wireless tether".

Root only apps - search for root only apps. They will have great capability and awesome features.

Shift the roms - u can taste all roms and understand them.

Optionally u can become a developer. U can create custom roms, kernels, recoveries ... depending on ur programming.

Hmmm big list.
[Wildfire General] :
Maybe yes related to apps. Backing up of apps to apk files on memory card will be best. Works like reinstalling. So works with any rom.

Since I never faced such kind of situation.
[Wildfire General] Lesicnik1:
How'd you make nexus rewamped run smooth enough to make it your default wallpaper? D:
[Wildfire General] :
Didn't get u.

Nexus revamped runs smooth on my phone. Overclocking makes it much better. The difference can be noticed when we touch the particles repeatedly
