[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
I've been experimenting with peshovec's advice to set the minfree parameters in /system/etc/rootfs/init.rc and /system/etc/rootfs/init.mapphone_umts.rc and remove the /system/etc/init.d/00minfree etc (typing from memory, paths may vary slightly). I used the values found in 00minfree because I've been running that for a while and I wanted to see if I could detect a difference. I'm pretty sure the difference is positive. It "feels" better, that is it seem more responsive. That may be confirmation bias, though.

One thing that is definately objectively different us I have not experienced a launcher reload after the change whereas they were fairly common for me before the change. I have a proceedure that would reliably cause reloads with the same minfree parameters (involved using F5 app to browse reddit and following links to gifs into browser and rhen pressing home but the exact details of the procedure are too tedious to describe). I cannot reproduce that after the edit. In fact I have tried everything I can think of to cause a launcher reload and have not succeeded yet (I made the edit last night).

Thinking about it, I've convinced myself that peshovec's reasoning makes perfect sense. My interpretation is that we've only been setting the kernel parameters (echo>minfree) but not setting the android userspace servers to match. So the userspace tries to generate a memory load that is mismatched to how the kernel enforces it.

Edit: finally a redraw after taking a picture.

Same! I got an error when I wanted to set the time and date duringbl the startup
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] B_e_n:
it mean your launcher bug... Try to reinstall or change it (try golauncher you will never take another one)

I have a big problem now with this rom

The phone process force close and it bring me back to the pin code. And even after enter it again it force close again every 2min until i reboot it..............

I can t use my phone anymore!!!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] B_e_n:
I m going back to the first xda special

I hope my phone process problem wil disapear...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] peshovec:
when You have to make testing modification i suggest a faster way:

(using shell to the phone, instead of modify the scripts)

1. Make sure which values the android framework is using e.g. (from memory):

getprop | busybox egrep -i "_mem|_adj"

Having in mind my tryings about the _MEM parameters, i am pretty sure they will always been the ones, which are written in the initrd img from the boot.img (e.g. non changeble)

2. about minfree paramaters (again from memory):

2.1. check:

cat /sys/modules/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree

2.2. change:

the corresponding echo

so changed settings will take effect almost immediately (having in mind that still some time will be needed to "flush " some process with the old settings)

About launcher, i set my with _ADJ value of 1, so if the framewrok is in memory need, it can be killed (very rare trough), i don't recommend setting it to 0 (which make it killable as last resort).

p.s. my launcher is zeam (actually it is one of the main reason to jump to froyo)

p.p.s. and again IMHO the settings from android framework should be intact with the kernel level ones. That dosen't mean that the setting must be exactly equal. But the kernel level ones, has to be setted carefully, having in mind the android framework ones.

E.g. the kernel ones, can be little more liberal (e.g. kernel will be more tolerant to ram usage) e.g. a little bit lower,

but makeing kernel level more aggressive than android framework (higher kernel level values) dosen't look good for me

For example let's say kernel parameters are higher than android framework. that means that at some memory level the kernel will kill some process, that android framework will think will be running fine. Chances are that some aggressive race condition will take a place, until the kernel and the framework are happy:)

Or the other, if kernel parameters are a little bit lower. Then the process will be killed after the android framework consider it "killable" so usually not a bad thing:)

p.p.p.s I know that You know this things, i try to wrote them so detailed, so everybody, who wish to be able to experiment and find the best for its needs.

I don t understand why but i am again in a bootloop

I just wanted to come back to the xda special after the stock special and after the restore and the wipe of everything i had the bootloop problem again

But now i try everything and i can t get out of this.....

I re restore again (4 times already) i let the bootloop going on (more than 20min each time) and no solution.....

Somebody have an idea???

Maybe format my sd...

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Stuck at the M logo or bootloop? Stuck at the M logo seems a common small issue for now, but usually can just reboot and it fixes. If it's bootloop I would say Backing up your sdcard and reformatting and repartitioning usually fixes it. I been running the Mean Green special for 3 days now and is running pretty good and stable except for occasional stuck at the M logo after rebooting and other small issues but haven't experienced bootloop.

File ceboot//initkerndec/dev/console is a character special file while file singboot//initkerndec/dev/console is a character special file
Binary files ceboot//kernel and singboot//kernel differ

i take a more deep look at the boot.img.

the kernels are different (ceboot//kernel and singboot//kernel are decompressed kernels)

the initfilesystem inside the kernel are equal

the difference in the boot.img initfilesystem are listed above, and corresponding files are attached...

sing means singapore

ce means central european

will try to have a deeper look at other difference, when time is enough....

the goal is need of reflash to whole singapore to be avoided, instead just boot.img. It seems to be possible, as the inits are okay

for the rest of the imgs inside the sbfs will take look at a later point

p.s. some fast kernel size comparision:

does anyone know reason of motorola logo stick already?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] B_e_n:
I give it an hour off and after it pass the M logo (that s where i were stuck)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] xaser66:
Hi! Well, this is the same for me after several carefull installations, by now I found the following trick to make Un-stuck it:

When I reboot my phone ALWAYS stuck at M logo with piss ( GREAT LOGO!!!! :p ), so I put out the battery, press 1 second power button, then maintain pressed POWER+VolumeDOWN+CameraSHUTTERButton (no media button) and in my case the phone enter in bootloader mode, I simple wait few seconds and then press POWER again for OFF th phone and the press again for ON the phone and then the phone start normal and I could type my pin and enters in full use of the phone.

I do know why but seems that afetr pass the BottLoader screen the phone sets an internal register that avoid or jumps the the init step that could make the M stuck in the boot process.

Thanks to all for the great work and best regards!

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arpicked:
I hate to sound like a rookie / newb, but I have spent more than 12 hours with my new US Cellular Galaxy Tab (I bought it two days ago) and have been unsuccessful trying to root it. I have searched for a specific US Cellular guide with no luck and have tried following different Verizon guides, but am not getting anything to stick.

I thought I had almost bricked my tab and it took 4 hours for me to get it back up to stock (only through pure luck), so now I am scared to try anything else unless I am sure it is going to work. Can someone please take the time to tell me how to conquer this tab???

Thank you in advance!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rydsmith:
Hey guys,

My birthday is two weeks away and I am in the market for a tablet. I am entering my 5th year of college (5 year program) and intend to attend law school the next year. So far the Galaxy Tab 10.1 has everything I was (mainly a working Hulu [with a little tinkering], Kindle, Nook, and great Google integration) but I also like to have fun. I see that a lot of programs work well on it (Gameloft games and Market games work well) but I was curious how well:

- Zenonia 2 & 3

- Inotia3

- Gameboid, N64oid, SNesoi, psx4droid (all emulators)

- Banking applications (Chase, Discover, and PNC)

- eBay

- Worldmate

work for Honeycomb. Do they scale well or are optimized for the 10.1" screen?

Thank You

(I know I listed off a few, but it's hard to know how well they work without having a Honeycomb Tablet in my hand, especially when I will have to sideload a lot of them from my phone in order to keep saved data).

Use a different launcher.

Hence

Use a different launcher = rooting required?

No. Just like with your phone, a different launcher does not require root. Just download one you like from the Market.

Some choices are LauncherPro or ADW launcher

Hi guys,

My question is every time I flash EB (any version) my phone goes blank (LG Logo then after a blank screen then phone will overheat). I don't have this problem on any other ROM.

Tried all this combination and still doesn't fix it.

Wipe Factory Reset

Wipe Cache

Wipe Davlik (I have error every time I wipe saying E:\ ...sdcard\ext not found)

Format System

Fix Permission

Help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

It's not a great stress test as it really seems to be CPU focused and doesn't test the GPU at all

[HD2 General] whynot66:
Your digitizer makes your touch screen work,

If you don't know what hspl is then you haven't changed it so you don't need to know, is your phone under warranty? If you have done a hard reset (turn off and turn back in holding volume up and volume down and power at the same time) then its a hardware issue. Did you buy the phone second hand?

[HD2 General] Dr.Move:
maybe there's something with your digitizer so it senses something that isn't there?

instead of hard resetting your phone, try installing an official ROM from HTC, even if it's the same as yours, it may or may not solve the issue, but never hurts to try.
[HD2 General] Akshay Darade:
Try removing your sdhc card and see.
[HD2 General] SnakeBites:
Ok and where ill find a T-mobile Stock rom for HD2 from 04/28/2010 date and i never installed a ROM so if ill do a hard rest after i do it will it go back to the stock rom?!

Ill try it more couple hours and see :)

if i upgrade a rom and my HD2 is unlocked for all the carriers will ill need to unlock it again?! like iphone?

Downloaded the latest upgrade software for HD2 from T-mobile ill check it out and give more info
[HD2 General] Dr.Move:
If you've had a second-hand device, there's a slight chance the ROM isn't 100% stock. I was able to add some programs to my stock roms that stuck there even after a hard reset.. don't remember how though, and the software I used was on trial period, so I didn't bother learning much :/ and I'm not a developer/programmer as well, so anyone could do it.

a problem in the SD card is highly unlikely for such a problem, but it wouldn't hurt to check it for system file errors on PC.

If the problem is not there when you hardreset but comes back after you install a certain program then that one could be causing the problem. After you hardreset, make sure you delete cache folders from the card, such as "application data" also, delete "program files" since you're going to install everything back anyway. you can use an external card reader to delete them while the hardreset/upgrade is progressing.
[HD2 General] SnakeBites:
its 100% stock rom from T-mobile

and how do i run system check for errors like u said above?

ummm i removed my SD after i upgraded the stock rom i downloaded Officially from T-mobile and its still the same and all i got now is iGo GPS

and thank you :)
[HD2 General] Dr.Move:
plug your phone to PC as a disk drive. hopefully you're using windows:

go to "computer" then right click on the drive, options>tools tab>check now

it's better if you have windows vista or 7 because they sometimes tell you which folder/file caused the problem.

if non of the above works, it might still be the digitizer. if it's still under warranty you can get it fixed.
[HD2 General] htccraze:
All htc hd2 phones carry a 1 year manufacturer warranty from htc. Google htc repair and follow the link for your country. I got mine fixed for free I bought off ebay but i will say that I lucked out. What was wrong with my device was covered under warranty but if you call them they'll tell you everything you'll need to know. I only had to pay shipping there which was only like $7.
[HD2 General] SnakeBites:
well it said that everything is ok with my phone u think i should get Windows 7?

and i dont think i got warrnty on it anymore i bought it on 12/7 last year from Ebay (Brand New)

i tried to put my microSD card into a normal SD card (Adapter) and it didnt read it but i put other microSD it got working :S something must be wrong with my card?!
[HD2 General] Dr.Move:
Hmm.. Try to connect it through your device and see if anything changes.. if it doesn't work, try another computer, if that even fails try to back up everything on it (even by bluetooth, though it'll take so long), then format it from inside the phone, plug it into a PC again, Format it using this tool

http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3/

with Full(overwrite) option. and all should be good. SD wise at least.

but when you took off the SD, did you check if that solved your problem?

try to soft reset with the SD out and see if the problem persists
[HD2 General] SnakeBites:
i treid soft rest without SD and its still the same and i noted those last days my battary being driaind ina rate of 33% over 12 hours with no apps working and my phone almost being used 1 hour overall (today i was without SD went to work)
[HD2 General] SnakeBites:
Well my phone surrvived 1 whole day with 4 hours more without charge when it used to get to 3 days so something is wrong :S
[HD2 General] Dr.Move:
could you check your battery pins if they're bent?

However, if you're using data connection during that time, it will drain more power. Turn off 3G, Wifi, and automatic synchronization and see if something changes.
[HD2 General] SnakeBites:
i know it will drain power and im using normal network not 3G wifi is off when not in use i turn it on when i need it and back off when im done auto sync wont work cause there is no 3G support and ill do it this night when ill go to sleep ill turn off everything and check it out and update here

thanks :)

Edit: how do i disable auto sync?
[HD2 General] SnakeBites:
Dr.move i did the test i turned off all wireless conections and i lost in 5 hours only 2%
[HD2 General] Dr.Move:
I'm glad that helped. that's quite good battery drain, even better than mine (1%/2h)

if you still don't know how to disable auto sync here's how to do it:

Windows:

settings tab> data services > turn off everything.

Android (tested on sense):

settings > accounts and sync > disable background data
