[XPERIA X8 General] Asycid:
Android system (2.2 and 2.3--> 2.1 is not too efficent in this) frees the memory itself, and caches things like Windows 7 (but in a far effective way). If you start a software that needs more RAM, then Android frees it for the app (or it tries to free it up: sometimes you have to run more than once a memory hog app to get it started), else it's precaches system things to fasten up the phone. So. If you have a lot of memory free, it's not always good.

Note that the problem starts if the CPU "can't rest". Then will come the less battery time, slowness, choppiness, etc. So: If there is an Application that has been loaded into memory, and runs in background and eating CPU cycles, then it's not good. In this case you have to close it manually. But not for the more RAM. You have to close it because Android itself MAYBE won't close it, because it recognizes as a running task (so it isn't an idle task) that is in use, and it keeps eating the CPU-->battery.

Hope this helps for the memory-geeks :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salahzantout:
hey everyone

this is my first time i will root and install new rom on my htc desire, the thing is that i read the tutorials and everything, and i chosed to install cyanogen mod 7 rom, however cyanogen said this

does that mean that i cant install it unless i had 7.0.2 preinstalled on my phone ? which means that for now i should install 7.0.2 ??

please help, and if it is true what is the way to update it after installing the 7.0.2 rom ??

plus it says

how do i choose the radio ? and how do i know that i dont need to download it if my radio is what is stated... ???

however the tutorial i am using says this in intro

mine is 0.93.0001

does that mean that i cant continue doing the steps of rooting and flashing provided ??

third is that

thanks in advance
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dzumagos:
Your hboot is OK, you can go ahead with rooting and S-OFFing your device (which i recommend since you want to run CM7, go with CM7hboot to maximize ROM efficency and properly use phone's memory)

Download 7.0.3 and flash it. what cyangoen said means, that you can go from 7.0.2 to 7.0.3 without wipe (flashing one on top of the other so you dont have to set up your apps and settings again) and also he mentions that if someone was using that weeks nightly build, he/she MUST do a full wipe before flashing 7.0.3 or it wont work

about RADIO

if you were on Official Froyo, you do have correct RADIO :)

if you werent or if you just want to be up to date, you can do it yourself - download the radio from desire forums here, search for them in the 'Desire index - everything for the desire is here' thread.

download .zip of the radio and flash it from recovery, or if you decide to S-OFF you can also do it by downloading .img of the radio and flasing it using fastboot (you must have ADB@PC)

HBOOT determines the partition layout in your phone memory.

stock bravo (desire) hboot is 250MB system, 147MB data and 40MB cache

now alpharev made custom hboots, one of them specifically for CM7 (since it didnt need 250MB on system)

and CM7hboot is : system 145M cache 5M data 287M

so u get lots of space for apps, nothing wasted (because u waste 150MB if running CM7 on stock hboot)

Could someone to develop INTERNAL xap installer program [ homebrew] that

will be able to install xap inside phone ?

Thanks.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] anarchyuk:
the os already has its own framework for that so no point, the installation of non signed apps is discussed loads on the forum. An app is avail called chevron to achieve it, unless you have updated your phone it should still work
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Heathcliff74:
I have investigated this. No luck so far. But I have a couple of leads that may let me make it. But it needs more research. I will have a look at it soon. But I can't give an ETA. So far I know there are no others that have succeeded so far.

is it possible ? I like to install apps inside the phone as in WINMO.

I can have XAP on skydrive a if i click it on browser it will automatically download and install, this will be awsome.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Heathcliff74:
Nope. Not possible. Read my previous answer. Anarchyuk did not understand your question correctly.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] marek1:
Why is not possible, reason ? Will Mango make it possible ?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Heathcliff74:
No. Microsoft doesn't want you to sideload apps. They want you to use the Marketplace. If you would be able to use an internal xap installer, you would be using it for sideloading.

It is not possible to use the API's for installing XAP's because you need TCB access for that. Normal apps have only LPC access, so normally you can't create an app for that. Needs hacking.

Ciao,

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] SimzzDev:
Would this type of access be possible with the 'DLLImport Project'?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] fiinix:
So today i installed a random app from marketplace to see what was going on i the process-list. Here i saw "PacmanInstaller.exe" (after "Downloading..." > "Installing..."); later i tried to remote execute that one without any important args, and it said "This application can not run in Win32 mode.", eh? Didn't that exe just ran in the process list. Seems weird not to be able to launch that one. (it did not say the exe did not exist).

Tested another thing to, what happens when i deploy an app from Visual Studio??

>PacmanInstaller.exe shows up there too.?!?!?

THEN WTF, WHERE IS THE DRM?

Found this in "PacmanInstaller.c":

if ( v19 != v2 )

*(_DWORD *)(v17 + 4 * v18 - 4) = L"ID_CAP_DEBUG";

XAP > Phone side:

- IO Explorer, all files have the exact same byte size, no magic changes added "ID_CAP_DEBUG""

- No "WMAppPRHeader.xml" added (generated/downloaded)

__

This means its just copying it to phone (XAP).

Runs pacman to register app > \Applications\Install\GUID\Install

"PacmanInstaller.exe GUID" ??

>Cant execute remote PacmanInstaller? From within?

Just having fun, thanks :)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Heathcliff74:
Nope. DllImport project is about accessing native API's. Not really about elevating privileges (so far). The package manager API's are native API's, but they require elevated privileges too. For having higher privileges you need to hack the system...

"This application can not run in Win32 mode" is error 0xbf:

Error 0xbf: error_invalid_exe_signature

Description: Cannot run <application> in Windows NT mode

Or: Cannot run <application> in Win32 mode

This means that your executable is not properly signed / elevated to launch into the required account.

C'mon fiinix! You of all people should know!! ;):p

</Rule>

That's why you can't run it! So, not the right account to launch. Not even when you use the Samsung exploit. Because that uses "Elevated". Not "TCB".

The proper way to call PacmanInstaller.exe is:

pacmaninstaller.exe <int> <guid>

I'm not really sure, but the <int> is the type of operation. Possible values are between 1 and 7 if I recall correctly. The guid is the applicationid. So far I know, the PacmanInstaller looks in \Application Data\Phone Tools\10.0\Install. That is where the xap's are initially uploaded to the phone and extracted by the packagemanger.

Ciao,

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] fiinix:
"Not even when you use the Samsung exploit. Because that uses "Elevated". Not "TCB"."

> What about "\Windows\Startup\"

That one launch what ever lnk (exe pointer) listed under startup directory. Would be an opportunity to restart after installed all "cydia" apps on the phone.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] fiinix:
Another small but interesting find:

>Checking the mail launches another "servicesd.exe".

All those exe's of multiple sessions like "udevice.exe" and "servicesd.exe" go with an arg, right? then what is put in? Maybe an dll as arg?

>Then again, the custom dll (VS2008 made) will not run due it does not have "LV_ACCESS_EXECUTE", so that locks TCB out for dll arg inject.

udevice.exe (Driver host, runs under "SYSTEM" level)

servicesd.exe (Ordinary exe for dll host)

So making custom drivers wont work... (probably),

to be middle hand for executing under SYSTEM.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] snickler:
As everyone already said.. CANNOT be done. There's no, "I want to know if someone can hack this". The people working to bring full file/registry access and a better experience to all phones are too busy to worry about trying to make an internal xap installer. Just hook the damn thing up to a computer and use the applications to push a xap to your phone and be happy. I'm no admin or anything, but please don't pester over something like this.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malybru:
Hi,

I have the same ROM,and 150MB of "INTERNAL" memory is normal.

In order to see all of your available "space",get yourself Titanium Backup.

This will show you on the opening page a list as follows:

System ROM (nothing you can do about this)

Internal (space for apps)

SD Card (obvious)

Sd Card(a2sd) (your EXT.partition ,where you can also install apps)

You can use a third party app to move apps to sd EXT eg. SuperBox.

[Nexus S General] mbolinao:
hi. thanks :)

i was using launcher pro, then switched now to Go launcher.

im after the speed and snappiness of the stock launcher actually. although both launchers i used above are fast, one eats battery juice quick. the other one a bit jumpy/lagging at times.

the stock launcher is fluid even when live wallpaper is active. I read somewhere that it is snappy because the launcher uses graphics accelerator or the graphics engin (or something) that's why its crisp even when opening the app drawer, the zoom/fade animation of the icons are smooth. i compared it with 3rd party launchers.

its just those two unchangeable icons that bothers me (and inability to add/remove home screens). though i can live with it, i guess. :p

[Samsung Mesmerize] 2fast4u88:
Ok I did this the other day and haven't messed with it much. Not sure I would recommend it for daily use. As landscape, gps and some other minor issues are present. This also isn't for the showcase. This started out as a mix of the Fascinate port/Cm7 Mtd for the mesmerize. Then a mix of miui android. So credit goes to them guys though it has some stuff done by myself.

First I am not responsible if your phone bursts into flames and melts down. Or anything of the such. You took the risk flashing it.

Now on to getting started first you need to download the fascinate radio below:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16907924/ec01_radio.tar

Plug it into odin in the pda spot. Yank the battery, plug in your usb cord, followed by holding volume down. Then flash it ( Pretty sure you know the deal) Once done download Miui 1.6.10 Cmtd below:

http://2fastroms.com/dm_eds/download.php?id=22

Transfer it to your sd card. Boot into cwm recovery using the 3 finger method. Perform a wipe and format system. Though probably not needed. Then install the above rom. Once installed reboot. First boot will take awhile. But it should boot.

To get off of the rom you need to odin ec-10 on repartition. You can supply feedback as it would better help me with issues you find. But do not complain something doesn't work. Also if someone would grab screenshots and upload them I will add them to the post.
[Samsung Mesmerize] bwot75:
Gonna give this a shot....not being pushy, just asking, is there a mes version of the latest release in the works?... I dont know what happened, but I was running this fine (the Fascinate version) with the EC01 radio, then something happened, I did a Factory reset, and since then, any 2.3.4 MTD rom I flash is missing 3g Data. It keeps connecting and disconnecting, and will never actually transfer information almost like it will only connect to Verizons towers and will not register my 3g data...really bummed

**Edit Also, does the latest CM7 MIUI MTD kernel work with this??... curious

** Edit 2 Apparently this breaks my 3g Data as well.... WTF
