Bugless Beast ICS 02/16/2012

I tried this apk on my Nexus S 4G with Bugless Beast ROM build from 2/16.

It didn't work. Probably because BB is ICS, maybe not, who knows...

I installed the apk

I pressed my home button

I selected TW Launcher

Phone froze

Phone rebooted itself

Phone prompted for home screen launcher

I chose TW Launcher

A prompt asking which email to use popped up

I chose GMail

This email came up with a gmail address I won't post publicly

I sent it

It doesn't seem to work on ics
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] RahuL PateL:
Nt working :(
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] mabry:
Exactly the same thing that happened to me.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] teuntje3:
Are there any screens?

I'm interested in touchwizz, like it.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Google_Nexus:
Does not work with ICS 4.04 it loads the manager you then tell it to download then you select the touch wiz and it fails... wont load anything... oh crud thats why... know i know why... with ics google scaled back what the custom skins can do i think.... but then why sense 3.6 for htc?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barclays:
I was wondering if there's any way to prevent android from killing programs immediately after i press the home button or switch to other programs.

For example, I'm browsing the Web when an sms comes in. Using home button (long pressing) I switch the task to answer and when I come back, the browser is gone and i have to load the page again (although it reloads in the same state).

It's really annoying. Reloading a webpage is not a problem but what about playing games? :(

I'm running InsertCoin 1.5, have about 80- 90MB RAM unused. And I doubt that I had RAM shortage

Thanks for reply
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lawalty:
Your brought up that old horse (debate) on why the android OS does or does not need task managers. Yes, the wonderful engineers at android, developed a platform unlike windows, manages processes (by some opinions) way better than Windows. When you switch screens, it freezes the process, and holds it until you come back. When the phone starts to run out of allocated memory, it starts to kill the (less used) processes.

Now, I've heard of allocation of process levels to cause some apps to continuous run, which would be an interesting development for some dev to take on. You can select what apps you'll like to constantly run even if you switch screens. This would help those who would want to quickly drain their battery for OS calibration purposes.

If I find such a solution, ill report back.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
Android should never kill the 2nd process in line (aka the Browser when switching to SMS), unless you're extremely short on RAM. In low RAM conditions, it will kill the farthest from recently used app in order to free up RAM.

How often do you notice this? is it

always

killing the app you switch from? Because this isn't correct (unless you're literally out of RAM as I said).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barclays:
Like i said. I had plenty of free RAM. So it's unlikely that I have RAM shortage.

I spent the morning examined things. Just figured I it out:

Flash this over and I have 3 apps in line.

Combine with Perfect task switcher, I got what i wanted.

Also, I noticed that switching by long pressing HOME button and choosing apps cause the app to restart while using BACK button won't

I don't know if this is Android behavior or my device's issue

But anyway, I got it sorted out

Thanks you u guys :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
I'm running CM7. Long pressing home and switching between numerous apps I've never had an app close on me. Must be a ROM/device combination situation for you...
[HTC EVO 3D] LostRib:
What's the maximum display "time on" people are getting? I think my max is about 3 hours
[HTC EVO 3D] aimbdd:
Four and a half. Turn down the brightness ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] LostRib:
My brightness is at 30% or it's supposed to be
[HTC EVO 3D] LostRib:
What brightness do you use?
[HTC EVO 3D] brandonpaz:
I typically get 3.5h on display plus 3 hours talk time, and that takes up nearly 80% of my battery.

Brandon
[HTC EVO 3D] LostRib:
Today I got 4.5 hours display on time, with 9 hours total battery. I was testing how long the display could remain on. I played the movie secretariat twice (4 hours total) and was still above 30 percent battery

[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:
I was getting about 3 hours of batt life with the screen on, but fixed it by doing a factory refresh, now I get about 4 hours screen on.
[HTC EVO 3D] Torrentula81:
I get 2.5 hours continuous 4g internet browsing time. About 3-3.5 or so on 3g. Don't know yet for no data usage but I'm guessing 4 would be max maybe reading ebooks or something. Screen brightness varying since I'm in and out constantly all day. I've noticed little difference to any setting below 50%. It seems the same. It's just when I'm outside and crank it to 100% my battery suffers hard core.

Can't put this thing down. Bought a newtrent portable battery 11000 mah. Waiting for it to arrive. I'd rather carry that around then an ugly seido extended. Just an option to think about if your a heavy user/abuser. I have 2 laza batteries from amazon that are actually 1000 mah, not 1730 they stated. Been seeing that on these forums. Guess ebay isn't the only place those batteries are floating around. So I just said screw it, portable power supply.
[HTC EVO 3D] Andrew486:
Holy old thread, I know.. but I don't seem to see anything newer pertaining to my situation. My battery life seems to be awful lately and I did a factory reset, can't seem to figure out what the deal is. I charge it overnight and end up charging again at least once a day. 5 hours of unplugged time, down to 19%, 62% of power drawn by my display. 58 minutes of time on.. my brightness at 35%. is this normal or is my battery shot?
[HTC EVO 3D] tgruendler:
Take it to a Sprint Store, they will replace the battery if it is shot.
[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
I know someone who is having the same problem, his display on time is about half of what mine is. Even with chichitec batteries the display still murders his battery life for some reason.

Do you sometimes have trouble with the backlight/screen turning on? Occasionally on his when you push the power button it appears the lockscreen is showing but you can't see it unless you look really closely at it. Turning the screen off and then back on usually fixes it though.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] likwidsage:
Anyone know where to get the micro USB to HDMI wire for the cheapest price possible? I know there are adapters, but I'm not someone that stays organized enough to keep track of where it is. XD

Also do they replicate what you see on your screen? Or is it only activated when you play media?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] marlonbr:
Awesome questions. I also want to know those answers. =)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] JPxM0Dz:
Google and Ebay are amazing resourses ;)

[Galaxy S II Accessories] blunted09:
my previous phone (atrix) just used a $10 hdmi adapter...

I really dont see the point in this mhl adapter. Wish it was just hdmi :(
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mariezk:
In the Netherlands you can get them for 10 euro's at different telephone shops..

Not that hard to get.

Works like a charm...the phone produces briliant quality pictures etc on my 40 "lCD screen
[Galaxy S II Accessories] likwidsage:
Thanks for the search, but $70 is a bit more than what I wanted to pay. I was hoping for something under $40. I looked through google and I really didn't find anything cheaper besides adapters. Which is cool and all, but I lose adapters like nothing.

Also, I live in the US, so any online place, or shops that ship to the US, would be greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] stefh:
Can you provide examples of phone shops? Cannot find one below 20 bucks
[Galaxy S II Accessories] JPxM0Dz:
Yeah will always get hosed for Samsung branded accessories

I did see some generic ones on ebay for around $50

3 options:

OPTION 1

Buy this, place your phone on your desktop and point it at it, voila.

OPTION 2

Celotape your phone to the peak of this headgear, it will give the appearance of sitting in front of a 50 inch screen.

http://www.surplusandoutdoors.com/s...r/excellent-balaclava-or-hat-with-345819.html

OPTION 3

search on here or google for MHL adapter / HDMI and read. There are loads of post on this.
[Atrix 4G General] mudd_cat23:
Ok trying to learn a little about adb. and im trying to push a file to my phone.

cd c:\android-sdk-windows\tools ( done this to change the directory)

c:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb push screengrab.apk .\sdcard.

failed to copy screengrabber.apk to .\sd card: Read-only file system

how do i change it to a write only file system also. i tryed adb shell i granted it SU permissions. then i done something and its telling me daemon still not runningerror cannot connect to daemon. what exactly does this mean it will start up successfully then it will stop and that message will come up
[Atrix 4G General] Pirateghost:
your sdcard is not read only. make sure you do not have it mounted at all on your computer and verify you are using PROPER command

adb push screengrab.apk /sdcard/
[Atrix 4G General] mudd_cat23:
there is nothing mounted in my pc not internal or sd card when i used the PROPER command. It brings up a whole lot of stuff like the different commands and stuff.

Well u can flash the stock rom again then install recovery as usual. After that you can restore your backup.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Gingerbread Man:
Sues repair, or flash stock rom with flashtool. You won't have 'properly' bricked your phone. Iv had it a few times, its easy enough to fix by flashing like I said and use the flashtool to reinstall recovery and just restore your back up. Easy :-)

Possible Workaround

Cant see why it wouldnt work but havent tryed it myself. Let me know in the comments!
[Android Apps and Games] JDV28:
My mytouch 4G is rooted and i have the ability to get movies from the new market. Weird?
[Android Apps and Games] Kevin001111:
Can you view them or have you actually downloaded them and watched them?

because.... This.
[Android Apps and Games] jangst123:
Great! Now can someone make an app for that!?
[Android Apps and Games] JDV28:
I've seen that thread, I am not on Unity, I run Synergy. I haven't bought one yet, but since I can access it I believe it would work
[Android Apps and Games] JDV28:
you can't type in the commands yourself?
[Android Apps and Games] Jays2Kings:
Can someone tell me how to use the terminal on my PC, it won't work on my Android.
[Android Apps and Games] JDV28:
to do it from your computer you need to have adb set up. there are hundreds of guides for that on xda.

what do you mean it "won't work" though? be more specific?
[Android Apps and Games] Jays2Kings:
The last step in the command line, the renaming "su" to "mu." I can't rename it because it's a read only file.
[Android Apps and Games] JDV28:
is your phone rooted?
[Android Apps and Games] Jays2Kings:
That it is, if it wasn't I would be having problem with the video app in the first place. :p
[Android Apps and Games] JDV28:
make sure that you are typing in the 2nd command (one after "su" ) properly.
[Android Apps and Games] Jays2Kings:
I typed character for character correctly, still "failed on '/system/bin/su' - Read-only file system".
[Android Apps and Games] infinityhombre:
Didn't work for me sadly I still get the playback not supported. I'm on the T-Mobile G2x

Edit: Also tried unrooting via super one click and still got the same result after reboot.
[Android Apps and Games] UniqueNate:
well, it says potential. it doesn't say it will work. it's an idea.
[Android Apps and Games] JDV28:
install root explorer and mount /system as r/w

then go through the guide besides the second step
[Android Apps and Games] doodlebro:
Does anyone have a link to the root explorer apk?
[Android Apps and Games] JDV28:
its a paid market app
[Android Apps and Games] Jays2Kings:
Already have it, but that's what that's what that option was for. Thank you.

EDIT: It's still force closing when I open the app (after I select my account). :(
[Android Apps and Games] JDV28:
glad I helped!

go into settings, find the market, and clear its cache
[Android Apps and Games] Jays2Kings:
Crap, still didn't help. Google really doesn't like me.
[Android Apps and Games] JDV28:
oh don't feel bad, they don't like any of their users/customers :) try reinstalling then run fix permissions
[Android Apps and Games] Jays2Kings:
Didn't help, fix permission is for ROMs right, I using the officail GB Droid X update but pre-rooted.
[Android Apps and Games] JDV28:
it can fix a multitude of issues.
[Android Apps and Games] Jays2Kings:
It's telling me "fix_permissions: not found"
[Android Apps and Games] JDV28:
run it from recovery
[Android Apps and Games] Jays2Kings:
Wo-how, I couldn't figure out how to run adb but I just rebooted and it worked. Anyway thanks for all your help.

Edit: Sad thing is Superuser file is still entitled su, but I guess I need to change it to actually watch a video.
[Android Apps and Games] xfullmetal17:
You need to rename it to something else (people chose mu for convenience I think). What Google Movies seems to do is check if the file "/system/bin/su" or "/system/xbin/su" exists. If it does, it gives you the error 49 message. If it doesn't, it plays the movie. By renaming that file, since most root applications call su by name, you're essentially temporarily removing root access while still staying rooted.

Note that you'll have to rename it back through adb or terminal emulator, since root explorer won't be able to get root access.
[Android Apps and Games] JDV28:
lol now we wait for 50 threads in the Q&A section with the titles:

"ZOMGG! renamed su file and now my root aint work! how to fix?hurry!"

this will be fun
[Android Apps and Games] sleeperzzz:
Lol, been thinking same thing jdv28

Someone should add the guide again to change name. Or better yet a script that does the naming and restoring for you
[Android Apps and Games] JDV28:
haha naa

people need to learn to do things for themselves once in a while.

I'm sure some generous soul will come along and make one though. just not me.
[Android Apps and Games] mercianary:
Does moving su to somewhere else that's still in $PATH work? Ie /system/sbin or /system/xbin

That way you can still use su but when Google looks in system/bin its not there.
[Android Apps and Games] JDV28:
I'm pretty sure moving it anywhere would work. but it will still (temp.) break root because apps look for su in that specific directory
[Android Apps and Games] techspecs:
I'll work on it.
[Android Apps and Games] Bratag:
Just a quick note to say this worked perfectly for me. Watched Hobo with a Shotgun last night and have to say was impressed with the quality from the rental. Easy to change su back and forth so all in all a good solution - until Google **** it up of course.
[Imagio General] hardikguru:
I am planning to buy this Phone - HTC Imagio Unlocked. I will be using this Phone in India with Vodafone GSM. I like the features of this Phone so much that I am tempted to buy it within no time .....

I read a lot of criticism on some features like -

1. Its battery is very bad. If true, how can I tweak the Phone to give me maximum battery life ?

2. Processor is slow. Any tweaks possible ?

3. Does it have FM & a stylus ?

Can you please echo your experiences over here .... Please.
[Imagio General] Hakim Rahman:
use application on Attach below to overclock the CPU, yes there is an FM radio and a stylus! You can check it at ~ http://www.pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=1784&view=1&c=verizon_htc_imagio_xv6975_htc_whitestone_100
[Imagio General] hardikguru:
Regarding overclocking

Yes, but does overclocking have long term effects on the Processor ?

Also, how can I prolong my battery life to give me more Talktime during daily usage ?
[Imagio General] Hakim Rahman:
during overclock is not too excessive, it would not be so influential on the processor !
[Imagio General] bawaji:
I have used this phone in India on Vodafone and it works fine. Never had any issue with battery life but I wasn't talking for an excessive amount of time. Setting it to GSM mode only may help. The phone has a stylus but you should rarely need it.

Search for WiMoSpeed for an easy-to-use overclocking software. If you run stock ROM, it should be pretty quick without any overclocking. If you are running a cooked ROM, overclocking does help. You will have to figure out how fast you can overclock your phone by experimenting.
[Imagio General] cellhead:
Also working fine on T-Mobile US prepaid

Very nice phone for the price! I missed my old HTC Wizard and I'm very glad to have a great smartphone again. Goodbye toy Nokia 5230!

If you're not using it with a CDMA carrier, turn off CDMA mode. Better battery and no weird error popups about dialing errors or registering the phone on Verizon network.

3G GSM will not work in USA/Canada, wrong band.

T-Mobile prepaid locks down Web 2 Go access on smartphones. This phone seems to confuse their gateway though, and will allow you to purchase (but not actually use) a $1.49 day pass.

Wifi works great. I have a T-Mobile Rocket USB stick with a cradlepoint 'pocket' router. Perfect solution to the lack of data access on T-Mo prepaid, and I can share via wifi with up to 16 devices.

EnergyRom is a very nice upgrade. I'm glad I did this.

I wish there was an Android port for this phone, but I understand there won't be because of obscurity.

Working with iOS devices at my job makes me glad not to be an Apple fanboy. There is no comparison when it comes to freedom to mod, update, find apps, use my phone the way I WANT.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrahamSX:
Confused Canadian Vibrant = American Vibrant. Whoops!

Hello,

I currently own a Captivate, however a good friend of mine recently acquired a Vibrant through Bell (came with stock 2.2 installed) and we successfully rooted the thing, but are unable to access Clockwork Mod. Thus far we've tried installing it via ROM Manager to no avail.

While we can access recovery through both the 3-button (Home, Vol Up + Power) and ROM Manager, it always ends up at the stock Samsung recovery and not CWM. Furthermore, we tried following suggestions in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1165721 ... but there is no "reinstall packages" option in recovery (unless update via zip on sdcard = reinstall packages).

Trying to keep it as simple as possible as well (avoiding using odin/kernals etc) as he isn't very tech savvy and I'm not in direct access of the phone.

Also if it matters, the plan is to install CyanogenMod onto it after we can get CWM working.

Any suggestions/ideas/etc are appreciated, thanks!

Is your phone the i9000[x]? If so I would go to the i9000 section.

Pretty self-explanatory question.

How does one see which radio they are running on their Thunderbolt?

I see references in the CM7 threads, as well as other places, to running certain radios, but I honestly have no idea what I am running. I am using Control Freak 2.0 (May 10th) for my kernel if that helps answer the question.

[Xoom General] lrs421:
I've had multiple tabs; Viewsonic, Asus, Acer and now the Xoom. While I'm not rich I can have almost any tab I want and of all the ones I've owned I greatly prefer my wifi Xoom. The screen isn't as good as the Asus but the build quality is excellent and the updates have been great being an Android experience tablet. I knew about the sd card going in but knew it could be fxed with rooting and figured an official update would eventually come. I actually thought the 599 price I paid for it was fair considering the price of other 32gb tabs. While the Asus has the dock, the Xoom has a ton of accessories and frankly I dont need another notebook, in fact that's what I was trying to get away from. So why all the hate for the Xoom? Is it mainly geared toward the 3g version and lack of 4g yet? Is Verizon partly to blame? I just don't see why there's so much disdain for this tablet. Not looking for flamers just point of views.
