Downloaded at 5MB/s :) Let's see what's in it!

UPDATE: Contains Android source build tree as well! THANKS LG !

This is big news!

This means that we can build a clean AOSP 2.2 ROM, OR port Cyanogenmod7 SUPER easily.

If you don't hear much from me today, it's because I'm gonna be getting Cm7 working 100% :)

UPDATE2:

Okay, so there's not exactly enough in the Android build tree to make a functioning ROM-- it just appears to contain their modified busybox and other opensource apps they modified (as per the GPL).

If I were to build from their Android tree, nothing would work.

Now, I haven't looked at the kernel sources yet... so gimme a few mins.

UPDATE3:

Well, looking in their kernel source, I figured out why we get "stuck in clockwork" loops :)

Apparently I was taking the hard road to exiting clockwork...
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
Baited breath......

So what's the verdict? The suspense is killing me!
[LG Revolution] ivalum21:
Great news! GO CUBED GO!!!
[LG Revolution] OmiDroid:
This is great news!
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Interesting:

typedef enum{
FACTORY_RESET_START = 0,
FACTORY_RESET_INITIAL = 1,
FACTORY_RESET_ARM9_END = 2,
FACTORY_RESET_COLD_BOOT_START = 3,
FACTORY_RESET_COLD_BOOT_END = 5,
FACTORY_RESET_NA = 7,
}test_mode_factory_reset_status_type;

That doesn't seem like what we're seeing in the real world... "6" is normal operating mode, and "3" is begin LG factory reset...

Unless I'm not understanding this correctly (probably!)

--EDIT: yep, i was wrong. A few thousand lines later, I see that "6" is the normal operating mode, and the other codes are pretty much ignored by the bootloader, except for "3" which trips the bootloader to stick you in recoverymode.

Other news: found where to overclock :)

Found all the device information-- this will make debugging super easy.

As for the Android tree, it's pretty much useless :(

CM7 is still on though!
[LG Revolution] OmiDroid:
Looks like they want you to DL the original android source code for 2.2.2 r1 then untar bryce_android_froyo.tar.gz on top of it to have a complete android tree...
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Yep, but it still doesn't contain enough information to build a working android build (you'd need a boardconfig.mk containing a lot of information-- like boot offsets, RIL location, GPS config, camera config, etc)

Their Android source dump is just what the GPL requires- any of the opensource files they modified-- busybox, and the bionic libs.

Ah also I see the reason for the "on factory reset, my SIM no longer is recognized" problem-- "/data/eri/" is uploaded to the modem if the modem requests it.

Another neat thing I just noticed is that I can build a kernel with access to the radio partitions (for fun) to see what goodies lurk in there :)
[LG Revolution] nick99wj:
We should probably start a new thread or change the title of this one...

the [Bad News] and what not is very misleading haha
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Okay, I'm going to be out of contact for a while today, I've got some stuff to take care of-- but come tonight, I'll have a test build of CM7 for those interested.

(Note: test build does not mean it'll have much working besides booting :) )
[LG Revolution] Jasbo:
Interested... YES!
[LG Revolution] nfederic:
Oh boy!
[LG Revolution] K0G:
Very interested in testing CM7 for you cubed.
[LG Revolution] Icemans2k02:
LOL I know I am curious myself. At least there is progress being made by LG!
[LG Revolution] wheelern:
This is sweet. cubed, let us know if you need anything! I PMed you earlier today, hopefully you received it...
[LG Revolution] S.Meezy:
flash junkie, need to get my fix. why not :)
[LG Revolution] powder007:
Question about the radios. Maybe a stupid one. It seems that the 3g and 4g radios are fairly weak in the revolution compared to the charge and the thunderbolt. Is this something that can be remedied by now having the source? For example on just the 3g radio. I used to consistently get 2mb/s download speeds on my droid all over my house. No matter where i'm at w/ the revolution i only get like 1mb/s on 3g.
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Actually it has nothing to do with signal strength, but rather the way the interfaces are bonded together in this case.

In short, kernel sources aren't needed for this fix, and a fix is indeed in the works :)
[LG Revolution] powder007:
Wicked. effing. bad.
[LG Revolution] crt_ben:
Sounds great! :)

Please don't take this the wrong way - I'm wondering what a few community devs can do to improve data speed and reliability that the LG team couldn't, or didn't, especially given that mobile data is basically the raison d'etre of smartphones. I'm curious as to the nature of the fix, and if you have any ideas why it wasn't that way from the factory?
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
LG bonded the 3g data and 4g data interfaces together, but from the looks of it, one of their initscripts doesn't properly set the interface priority to "3g first" when the 4g interface is down.

It looks to be a simple bug, and it will be fixed soon in the next Decrap'd ROM after I'm done with my "week of cyanogenmod".
[LG Revolution] crt_ben:
Thanks for the description! On a high level, it makes sense. Looking forward to the fix :)
[Defy Themes and Apps] Hugo32:
Hi,

I read through approx. 50 pages of text and didn't find an answer:

Is there some kind of prevention to enter numbers like 6000mhz (eg when you meant 600) ?

Same with the voltage: could I enter and apply a critical value ? I tried it with "5" which lead to instant reboot.

Also: I can't find any explanation on what sd card speed fix does ?

Also: What does Jit do ?

THX
[Defy Themes and Apps] salingpusa:
Low vsel will really cause reboot as it doesnt getr enough juice to run, on the other hand if you set it to 6000 but didnt change the vsel imo it would again reboot. That is if you accidentally put it, but if you deliberately want to try vsel 1000 @ 6000mhz, that I don't know,run test underwater to prevent meltdown. Good luck
[Defy Themes and Apps] Hugo32:
but it would immediately die and would not explode right ?
[Defy Themes and Apps] maxi2mc:
I think the VSel is limited to a max value of 78, or 80, or the limitation comes from the kernel, something like this.

Also there is a limitation from ARM to prevent hardware damage, there are a lot of failsafe mechanism built inside the hardware, beside the software.
[Defy Themes and Apps] michka:
No max vsel is 90. Max clock thats stable is 1380 MHz.
[Defy Themes and Apps] Hugo32:
Ok... so you can't really fry your hardware.

At worst it will die within a few hours/ days/ weeks ?
[Nexus S General] DroidBabe:
I just bought it yesterday and the battery like last around 4 he's. Now I bought this phone cause I heard it has great battery life like the Atrix. What do I do? I have juice defender running. Please help
[Nexus S General] jark99:
If you just bought it yesterday..... then give some time to calibrate thr battery! Just keep using it and let the battery reach normal. Most new batteries require 3-4 charges to start running fine. Give it a few days
[Nexus S General] jdh10475:
+ 1 the battery needs a few cycles to break in. Also, are you rooted are you running a custom room or kernel these things can have an affect on your battery also.
[Nexus S General] DroidBabe:
No I'm not rooted or have a custom kernel. I'm running stock.
[Nexus S General] gunstar3035:
Strange, I get a day and a half of heavy use with the brightness maxed and running a live wall paper. I thought my Xperia Arc had great battery life but the Nexus S is insane!

OP are you using task killers? Don't. It takes up more battery for your Nexus S to re-start those apps than it does to manage them on its own.
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
It took my battery like a week to act right. Give it time
[Nexus S General] jark99:
a day and a half?? howd you pull that off? im usually charging about 10-14 hours thorough heavy use.
[Nexus S General] kilik64:
agree with everyone else, give it a few days.

I used some advice i found the said kill battery, charge full, kill battery, charge full, kill, charge, then use it. Charge it while it is off during that time.

First couple of charges, the battery would die after about 5-6 hours of constant "messing around" with the phone. Now it seems like it'll last a good time.

Im completely stock as well.
[Nexus S General] gunstar3035:
I dont know. I don't really game on it so maybe thats it, but I am surfing the web constantly. When I go out I turn wifi off...thats about it. Oh and the only widget I am running is a clock and the weather for the clock is set to refresh every 3 hours "simi clock" is what its called.

Thats about it, I dont know what else to say. I came from an Xperia x10, Samsung Captivate, Xperia Arc, and now the Nexus S and its MILES better...so much so that I have decided that I will only ever own a "Nexus" line of Android.
[Nexus S General] jark99:
Haha agreed on the nexus part! My battery might get day n half tmrw! Welll see....i guess im constantly on it doing one thing or another
[Nexus S General] DroidBabe:
No task killers here. Just juice defender.
[Nexus S General] TheDub:
Like everyone else said you really need to give it some time to break in.

My first day with the Nexus the battery was dying as I left work (roughly 9 hours off the charger).

After owning the phone for about a month now it's changed dramatically.

It lasts well through the entire day, every day. Before I go to bed it's usually sitting around...

70-80% LIGHT use.

50% Moderate use

35-40% Heavy use. (Note: I don't play games, Heavy use to me is multiple short calls, many emails, many texts, IM)

I've never actually had the phone die on me.

I'm using CM7 (Latest Nightly) and the Netarchy CFS Kernel (default settings with the exception of VooDoo Color tweaks)

I don't use Juice Defender. Phone sits on 3G most of the day at the office, at home it sits on WiFi with the WiFi sleep policy set to never. (Wifi uses much less power then 3G, if you have WiFi, USE IT! and set sleep policy to never so WiFi stays on constantly instead of switching back to 3G when the phone is idle)

Do use a task manager but it didn't seem to make a huge difference.
[Nexus S General] sfingers:
Aside from letting your battery calibrate, you should try out juice defender. I know alot of people might scoff at a such an application but I've experienced over a two fold increase in battery life using said application. However I am running an undervolted netarchy 1.3.4 kernel with Oxygen, but said increase in battery life is with the same configuration.
[Nexus S General] fraspas:
Yeah it takes around a week to break in the battery. My battery life is pretty awesome. I usually charge it every other day now. It lasts a long time.
[Nexus S General] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Guys... battery break in isn't gonna change his usage from 4 hrs to 12 hrs. No battery break-in does that.

In all these cases I suggest looking at battery info in the OS itself to see if something kept the phone awake or whatever.

Sure heavy use in your first few days will always take a huge toll on battery. Calibration shouldn't totally throw off your battery life down to 4 hours either.
[Nexus S General] eagercrow:
You guys who say heavy use, can you quantify that?

talk time per day?

texts per day?

roaming?

4g?

how many emails sent/received per day?

time on internet?
[Nexus S General] shabbypenguin:
/shameless plug

try battery tweak in dev forums... i posted it in both of them
[Nexus S General] WiseManWhite:
I'm in the same boat as you. Just got my Nexus S 4G on three days ago and the battery dies QUICKLY. The first day it died in 5 hours (with normal use and 4G off). By the time I unplug it and get to work, which is only a 20 minute drive, it's already down to 93%. I'm hoping everyone else is right in saying that the battery just has to be worked in a little.
[Nexus S General] sluzi26:
I have 8 hours on battery right now with about 40% remaining in day 2 of my Nexus' usage. I made about 6 phone calls, sent out about 20 text messages, browsed the internet while waiting for a job interview and played Plants V Zombies when I was taking a dump.

I really only expect it to improve from here.
[Nexus S General] jrdatrackstar:
Out of curiousity, does anyone here have their "Use Wireless Networks" checked under the "Location and Security" settings (where it uses your 3G)? I have this enabled and I know this will drain my battery, but I wonder how much? The only app I have that updates my location while the screen is off is the stock News and Weather app (which only updates every 6 hours, a bug that automatically turns itself back on if you reset your phone). How much collection would Google do other than that?

Also, the other thing I have enabled is my Exchange set to push through the default Email app. However, this never really shows up on the battery usage app, so is push STILL killing the battery a lot through the stock app?

I'm just trying to see how people can get two days with 50% left after work (if just on 3G). On WIFI, MAYBE, but def not on 3G......
[Nexus S General] ronnienyc:
My Sprint Nexus battery life has been miserable too. It dies in 6 or 7 hours with light use - and I never use 4G. I do use WiFi when possible. For this reason I have swapped back to my previous phone until the software update comes out. I am hop.g better radio software (better signal) improves the battery life. This is so far the worst battery life of any Android phone I have owned. I have had the Nexus for a month and there has been no improvement in battery life.
[Nexus S General] Csquared:
I had bad battery life until I switched Wifi sleep policy to never. That seemed to help a great deal for me. In addition making screen display brightness to auto is a huge must.
[Nexus S General] kashb91:
really? you have your screen set on auto? ive read multiple times that keeping it on auto is bad for battery life. whats your run time like?
[Nexus S General] Csquared:
I easily get through the day with a fair amount of use. I end most days with about. 40% battery. I heavy days I get to about 20%. I do spend most of my day connected to wifi which I'm sure helps a lot.
[Nexus S General] kashb91:
hmmm, ill give it a try and see what happens. general question to those that can answer. i usually have my internet (3g) off when im in school or at work. sometimes i connect and disconnect multiple times just to check my email, surf the web a bit, blah blah blah. would the constant on/off harm battery life?
[Nexus S General] autoprime:
for those with really poor battery life.. have you tried signing out of Latitude? after doing that on my nexus.. battery life doubled.. and "Maps" was no longer one of the highest battery hogs when viewing battery use.
[Nexus S General] dreamsforgotten:
Its most likely apps I never had my battery drain that fast before. Latitude is a huge battery drain good advice
[Nexus S General] mizofizo:
This is what was killing my battery during the first couple of days as well. If Maps shows high up on the battery use list, sign out of Latitude.
[Nexus S General] symond:
well it all depends how much u use it..im a heavy user and i have to charge twice a day surfing web all day,playing games,and watching soccer and watching cricket which is about 2 hours of live streaming soo i have to charge twice.but i dont mind it since im always around the charger

if you want good battery life than use wifi whenever available but make sure if its not available turn it off

turn off brightness to minimum..u dont need brightness at all if u r indoor outdoor in sun maybe one press other than even in car u can see it clearly

if u dont use data or net much than turn it off belive me it will save ur half of the battery

live wallpaper is ok it doesnt use that much

turn off sync i dont really think u need it. once u open it, mail will be there after few sec

dont use task killer at all unless u need to, having it is a good but using it few times a day can affects battery just use it when u feel ur phone is really slow

thats all i know and i do when im not near charging ports or i know that i need battery to be alive for long and wont be able charge soon

i miss turning off mobile data that i had option in evo shift anyway thats what u get when u go pure google

but it has a great screen which is the only features that making me keep this phone

other wise i would love to have other phones like htc or motorola
[Nexus S General] ronnienyc:
I have not used Lattitude, have never logged in, so that is not my problem.

[Nexus S General] dreamsforgotten:
You don't have to lol its a shame but I started getting emails, I set latitude to warn me when I sign in, left and right it says you signed into google latitude and I had to manually sign off to kill it
[Nexus S General] crankless:
Check battery usage, for some reason Facebook has been killing my battery. Using over 50% sometimes and I can't figure out why. Never had that problem with my evo.
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
What is the refresh rate for Facebook in settings? Set the interval higher
[Nexus S General] crankless:
It was set for 1 hr. I can't imagine that is causing it to use that much battery.
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
Try uninstalling the app and reinstalling it. There was reports of a Facebook battery leak by Phandroid a few weeks ago.

Edit: http://phandroid.com/2011/06/29/lat...o-constantly-refresh-may-impact-battery-life/ here it is!
[Nexus S General] ronnienyc:
i have never been logged in to lattitude (I have checked), and i have never installed the facebook app, as it is a knows battery killer.
[Desire General] Tsjoklat:
Are there things I should do to make the upgrade go smoother? For example, should I uninstall any specific applications first that might interfere with the upgrade process? How much free space do I need to have beforehand?
[Desire General] erklat:
Apart from not having a custom ROM, you should cease to open a new thread for every gb related query that comes to your mind.
[Desire General] pavel54:
And you must also waif for update, nobody know how long, if it will be available devs get it fast usually ;)
[Desire General] Lothaen:
You'll probably need 25mb of internal storage
[Desire General] Tsjoklat:
Thanks, I guess I can just remove Flash and that will give me my 25MB to install the update. I remember last time I had the HTC_IME keyboard installed and it was not compatible with Froyo. Having that keyboard installed gave me a failed upgrade to Froyo, so I want to make sure I dont have anything that will create problems this time.

Im using Insertcoin nightly V40 and i Upgrade my desire to Insertcoint nightly V50. I perform FULL WIPED. My problem is every time i download in to the market it always stuck in " Starting download", I try different kind of solution and it didn't work and also i cannot log-in on G-talk
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TopGear63z:
Have you wiped dalvik, if you haven't you should do it, even after a full wipe, it helps
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sakai4eva:
Sounds more like an ISP problem. Can you connect to another website?

Also tried using a different radio?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icycraze:
only the Gtalk cannot connect
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icycraze:
Every time i make full wipe i also wipe the dalvik but still having a problem
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Parva4:
I have this issue on RCMix and Insert Coin. The solution is very easy. Go into Market, select what you want to download. Exit Market. Go to 'Talk', press menu and select 'Sign Out'. Go back to Market and your download should start. Furthermore, go back to talk and you'll find that that works too, as if you hadn't logged out! I did get a freeze once when going back into Talk but it's been fine ever since and you only need to do this the once to cure the problem.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TopGear63z:
I got the same problem on v51,

Deleta data of

Google Checkout(Sometimes it's HTC checkout, still delete)

Talk

Market(cache as well)

and also the remaining apps with google in front of them(let the one with back up stay)

Reboot,

This worked for me:);)
[EVO 4G General] blackroseMD1:
So, I read the thread about possibly getting a credit if you called and extended your account early. I figured I would call and try that this morning and also to see if, since I'm a SP Gold member, they would let me use my full upgrade (due on July 1st) a week early so that I could make sure I got the E3D.

I talked to them and they said that they would reset my upgrade retroactive to June 1st, but it would take about 24 hours to take effect, which really didn't help me all that much if I can't walk into a store tomorrow and buy one on launch day, like happened with the EVO 4G.

I just got a call back from Sprint saying that it had been processed, looked at my account online, saw the full upgrade...and now my EVO 3D is on it's way. :)

Sprint rocked on this one... :)
[EVO 4G General] LexLuger82:
How much will it be now?
[EVO 4G General] blackroseMD1:
$49 with my Evo trade-in.
[EVO 4G General] ben.nesheim:
Congrats :)

Often i hear bad things about sprint but they have always been great with me. I may not agree with them all the time but can't have everything .

Is there any app that i can use to play a prank on a friend?

It doesnt matter if it breaks the phone and we have to reformat it, i want a heavy prank. :D
[Android Apps and Games] GANJDROID:
I think you're looking for a hammer ;) I doubt there's an app specifically made to brick phones. Especially not on xda.
[Android Apps and Games] doktornotor:
Dunno about heavy pranks (brick the phone). For light ones, there is (Better) Cracked Screen. :p
[Android Apps and Games] vipaman:
Well apps are made to make the phone move in gud smooth direction not to brick a phone.....Anyways what u are looking for is a script that makes the phone non usable...Enjoy ur search:D
[Android Apps and Games] knightnz:
Install Tasker on it and write a script to do something wierd whenever a SMS is received.

Not sure if you can make Tasker hide its notification icon though which might be a bit of a giveaway.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] valaris:
I tried to play Plants vs zombies today and realized it doesn,t boot up if I'm listening to zune player in the background. Is that specific to that game or am I having an unrelated problem I'm not aware of?

Just for the record I have an LG Optimus 7.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] experience7:
I guess it doesn't depend on the phone model because I had the same problem with my Omnia 7 (forgot which app). I think there was a conflict between the zune player and the app/game -probably there can't be more than one audio source? Other tools worked fine so I guess it's app specific.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] valaris:
Gotcha. Well at least I know it's not a problem on my end. Kinda disappointing though since you could listen to your own audio while playing the game on other platforms. But oh well, I'll still enjoy the game (for the third time).
