[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
I disagree. I didn't notice enough of a difference to warrant the loss in battery. I rarely even play any games and the games I play already run at 30 fps without OC so why the need to OC at all?
[Acer Iconia A500] _motley:
Battery drain would depend on which kernel and governor you used and how you use your tablet. Some kernel sources I have studied have their OC current set higher than is necessary. The one posted by Richard Trip/Roggin is very reasonable by default and you can even adjust uV by frequency to improve battery usage. The games you mention are likely using the tegra GPU/hardware, so the OC won't help you a bit there. I noticed the performance the most with flash loading on web pages. Give me a little more power on demand and I am a happy camper. If you really need that extra few minutes of battery, then I can understand. But, think about it...if you are browsing a lot, you can do more within a shorter period of time so it all comes out the same in the end.
[Acer Iconia A500] CarpeNoctem:
I did a comparison @ same frequency to be a base for real comparison, you can overclock or use custom kernel, still, it is just a base
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
My reading speed isn't affected by the clockspeed of my tablet, so I'll still spend the same amount of time on a website.. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] _motley:
When you are reading after it has loaded, the clock speed is the same as stock...it doesn't stay pegged at the OC speed all the time, the on-demand governor takes care of that for you ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] CarpeNoctem:
agreed but still the reaction is not instantaneous and some people just want to play with overclocking.

I found the benchmark tool interesting because it does not focus on pure force power but on user perception of the interface and after all I am a user ;)

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rydyd:
Hello! First off thank you for taking sometime to help me out with a few questions about rooting my new Samsung Galaxy S. I've been itching to root it ever since I watched some lag fix videos in aw as to how much better the phone seems to perform,before I do go through with it I have a few questions hoping to be answered. Also last thing my device is up to date with Froyo 2.2.

First off I will be using this : (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682) to root my device, will this work fine?

Second questions is if I root my device and a gingerbread comes out as an official update can I go about updating it normally through Kies?Same goes for google updates like the new market update. (I am not interested in changing the ROM at the moment)

-Will Kies still recognize the device normally as I use it for importing music and such.

Lastly which lagfix should I use? Voodoo?It seems that Voodoo is meant to work with the GT-I9000 or does it work with the captivate too? Or do I use the oneclicklagfix on the Market?

Thank you so much for taking the time to help me and if there's any thing about the phone you need to know please do ask and Ill gladly provide you with extra information.

Thanks again!:)

Has anyone else played with it? I'm running it on my phone and it's pretty awesome. Its a little weird to modify the home screens, but it definitely opens up a whole bunch customization and uniqueness for any phone. There is quite a bit of already made themes to choose from aswell.

It's only in beta phase now but you can download it free at www.sweeterhome.com .

As of right now its more stable than adw for me and is way better on battery.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Halkus:
I have the 16GB Vodafone UK Galaxy S. Today I was in a city trying to use satnav and it was rank rotten. So I thought I'd see if an upgrade would do it. I was using the very first Froyo that Vodafone came out with - I upgraded to that and hadn't upgraded since. I did have it rooted and 1 click lag fix was on it.

I upgraded to Gingerbread just there, sadly I had to do a factory reset, however it's all working.

I have realised that if I am going to put a custom firmware on it then now is just the right time to do it.

Is there one out there that's stable, and an improvement over the Gingerbread I'm using? Particularly I'd like it to fix the lag (if that still needs fixed) and even better would be fixing GPS/Satnav.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Woolf:
Pinpong blockbuster rom - ticks all your boxes. Get faster fix from market.

Your gps will never be 100% satisfactory in the city, in fact it will probably always be poor - no matter what custom rom you use.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicolas.b:
Have you think about CM7? Great Rom, works well on my phone, and add many new things.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vasumit:
Hi Mate, I tried many custom roms and finally settled for

(ROM)GingerCriskeloV77-9LS-CamHack- SIP + NoIncRing I9000/T/M JVP 2.3.4

Cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Halkus:
Well, I managed to get it on. Booting up is weird though, it looks for a long time as if the screen is broken, but eventually ti comes on to the Blockbuster lock screen and then everything is fine. It does seem faster - but I'll only really know when I get to one of those situations where I feel the phone is frustratingly slow.

Thanks very much Woolf!

Time allowing I'll give the other roms a shot, although this Blockbuster one does seem to be good enough for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Halkus:
Sadly my phone now reboots constantly. it seems to do it when the screen locks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
Check you got the installation right for that rom, maybe you had to flash a jvp stock first or some similar omission?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexhull24:
Sorry to hear you're having issues. Try flashing to a totally stock JVQ first (with repartition) once you've backed up, then if you don't like that, try a custom ROM. I don't think many JVQ custom ROMs are worth trying if you want a taste of custom ROMs. Better to try CM7 or MIUI for something fast and different.

As a side note, the best tip I've seen for fixing the dreadful GPS we have with the i9000 is to buy a Nexus S or just ANY other phone! Yes, some radios appear better than others, but nobody can prove anything and it's almost all subjective feedback. A drop in the ocean of improvement needed for satisfactory function. If you must use it, a bluetooth GPS receiver and 3rd party navigation app seem the best way to deal with it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Halkus:
I've now stepped away from Blockbuster. Even doing the a perfect install it crashed often and repeatedly. I did try upgrading to the very latest and that crashed several times in the past hour. Part of the problem was the rom starts with a lockscreen that has a messaging unlock on it, but it isn't set to an app that comes with the rom, so it reboots every time. Sadly that wasn't the only problem, as I was still getting loads of reboots.

So that's out of the way.

I'm now a lot more comfortable using Odin so I'll be able to try other options. I'll try the other two suggested in this thread first of all.

Next to test is CM7.

Thanks for the help folks!

CM7 aborted. Instructions are incorrect, the file they say to download doesn't actually match the instructions so that's out. Plus it clearly states it's not suitable for day to day use... so I don't thnk the time in working out how to fix it is justified since it looks like it wouldn't be useful.

I'm going back to the original question in the thread, to say that I'm looking for something stable. I now think that a custom rom is not the way to go. However some modifications may well be.

Can anyone suggest some kind of lagfix/speedup that isn't a complete overhaul like CM7, Blockbuster etc, that is very stable and that'll make my phone faster?

Edit : Part of what I was doing to install Blockbuster was install Speedmod kernel. So I've gone and put that on, and used the clockwork mod to root it, and also convert to ext4. I think things are looking pretty fast so far. I'm not sure if there's a lagfix for this, but I'm quite comfortable just now footering around - unlike the complete rom I don't feel out of my depth. So I think I'll be ok for now.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] phydeaux98038:
I've been experiencing some oddness with my Moto Droid, and I want to blow it away and start fresh. Current ROM is CM7. I want to find out, if I boot and issue a "wipe data/factory reset", will I then have to start COMPLETELY from scratch, in that I will need to root the phone again? Or, is there any suggestion on the best way to proceed, since my ultimate goal is to do a fresh CM7 installation, and restore my apps when that is complete?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] getoffmeluckycharms:
No, factory reset will clear data and cache but leave the recovery the way it was before.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] daria55:
you need to flash the sbf again to have an "untouched" phone.

When you flash the sbf, and it's like unboxing a brand new phone. Look on footprint for the sbf. I you will need rsd lite as well.

Hi all,

I have a purchased version of ADW Launcher. (ADWLauncher EX 1.3.3)

I cannot figure out to get the home screen button on my NS to show the 5 screens all at the same time, then I select the screen I want to go to.

Right now, when I press the home screen button, it just goes straight to the middle screen.

I used to be able to do it with the free version of ADW.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] odrav:
Hi all,

Two days ago I received my Transformer, but yesterday when playing with Google Earth, my display turned into (dynamically changing) vertical lines - I call it 'Funky Screen of Death'.

It seems that touch works as input as I'm able to unclock screen when turning display on and slide left/right through screens. See this video I've made:

www(dot)youtube(dot)com/watch?v=LSr2ZpkcvVA

Questions are:

1. has anybody experienced similar issue?

2. do you think this is software (fixable without sending it back to Asus) or hardware problem?

My bet would be: hardware. But maybe someone here knows some magical solution...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Are you rooted? custom ROM'd? Is it fully stock?

If you're within warranty range (or even 30 day range depending on where you bought it from) you can exchange it for another one.

I'm thinking it's hardware. Can you turn the tablet back on? Does it happen in other apps aside from Google Earth?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] odrav:
It is fully stock. No root. No custom ROM. Display has vertical lines all the time if turned on. Even if it's restarting. Lines change based on what's supposed to be displayed.

Bought it in Poland two days ago. I'll call Asus support tomorrow, but as you said this is probably hardware and it needs to be send back.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
You could always take it back to the store if it's within it's time frame as well. What revision is your Transformer? You can look by the serial number (bottom of tablet if you haven't removed the sticker) or on the box. It'll start with B40/B50/B60.

I personally have a B50, but I've heard the B60's are more flawless.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brando56894:
That definitely looks like a hardware problem.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] odrav:
I have B6O.

I'll probably contact Asus directly because I would have to send it to the shop via mail (as it is not on-site).
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] findadiat:
Had the exact same problem today on my TF too. When I switched on the TF, it didn't power up, only started showing this beautiful spectrum of coloured vertical lines and it kept on changing. I tried to power on/off the device by holding the power button for different intervals, but it didn't work. I then connected it to my laptop using the USB charging cable and nothing happened immediately. However as I was going through these forums trying to figure out what was wrong, I glanced back at my TF and there it was powered on with the home screen on.

But I could still observe some faint washed out vertical lines on my black wallpaper. I changed the wallpaper and could still see the same vertical washed out lines on the screen. However after about 10-15 minutes, even those vertical lines are not visible. So it looks fine right now. Though it's still a worrying sign for the future. Again, I wonder if it's a software thing or more worryingly a hardware thing. Mine is B60 as well. Purchased little more than a month ago.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
The 3D effect where each homescreen seems to pop out at you when you scroll? That's there by default with no way to disable it. If you mean the "carrusel" effect, you have to quickly flick your finger and the screens will appear to spin around.

No no, I'm talking about the effect where the actual widgets on the homescreen tilt to create a 3d illusion when you tilt your phone...

I can go into the SD card through a file manager and everything is there and looking good. It just won’t see the apps there...over time, they either just reappear or I reboot (or reboot a few times) and they return...

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedy_11:
Yes, their is also a galaxy one click root or use AIO toolbox.

It will be best to remove root be fore updating to 2.3, market update will work as normal. For kies it should work as normal, i don't know though i just mount my device.

Voodoo is better and safer but it only comes on custom kernels. Since you don't care for flashing roms. The only way you can get it is (if its still around) a stock kernel with voodoo lagfix. *Voodoo works on most all the galaxy s family including the captivate.

One click lag fix not as safe, plus the developer has stopped developing and supporting it.

Why post the same question twice? under 2 different profiles? its kind of a waste
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] durangatang:
Super one click is what I used to root my Rogers Captivate running 2.2. The other methods the second poster said will most likely work as well.

I am assuming the Kies update to 2.3 will not work with root enabled. The new market can be updated very easily, just find the apk somewhere on the forums and install it directly, it worked fine for me.

I am not really a fan of OCLF, it works for the first little while but seems to slow down after a while (or maybe it's all in my head?). There is a voodoo injected stock rogers kernel somewhere on the forum, I dunno where but I found it and then used Neldar's SGS Kernel flasher (available on the market) to backup my original kernel and flash the voodoo injected one. It worked great and I now have voodoo lag fix. I am looking at changing to speedmod at some point in the future.

I am also wondering this, it's kinda pointless...

[Windows Phone 7 General] Deleted member 2842059:
The new hardware needed to come out months ago.
[Windows Phone 7 General] naplesbill:
You know, I felt the same way and got rid of my Samsung Focus back in March. A couple weeks ago, I decided to give the HTC HD7S a try. I did this in part because I received the Mango Beta 2 invite.

I love this device. The missing front camera, on the WP7 platform, is of no consequence to me. It will be at least another 12 months before this functionality really matters. Hopefully by then, a real standard for video chat will emerge.

I am very happy to have come back to WP7 and the apps have been coming in at a good rate. The only app I wish WP7 would get is Words With Friends. I am somewhat addicted to it. Luckily, I have an iPhone for work and an Acer Iconia Tablet so I get my fix on either of those devices. :)

I cannot discuss Mango features because of the NDA I signed, but there are plenty of discussions to follow here on XDA. I will say, the Mango update is what is going to keep me on this platform.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sensboston:
WTF? What NDA you signed that you "can't discuss Mango features"? A lot of web blogs/forums (including XDA!) are already discussing Mango features. It's free info :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] naplesbill:
I obtained Mango through official channels. So, just because others are talking about it and it's features doesn't mean I should ignore the agreement I signed. Whether or not it will cause me problems is irrelevent. Everything I have seen on the web has been by people who obtained Mango unofficially.

You should have noticed that I said there was plenty of information on the beta features already posted on XDA.

This is off-topic from this thread anyway. I have principles that I live by, and abiding by an agreement is one of them. If Microsoft were to post that it is ok to discuss the beta software publicly, then it would be ok for me to discuss it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sensboston:
Complete BS! XDA have a bunch WP7 developers who obtained the Mango update through official channels :D Did you read NDA properly? :p More - where are lot of MS employee blogs on the web who's already discussing Mango's features, providing a source code etc. etc.

You know, man, you just trying to looks more than you really are (like an MS subcontractor who's got some parts of WP7 source code ;) ). I have a business contacts with the real Microsoft WP7 developers - not a tech-support but PM's and devs who really wrote a code but these guys never said "NDA" word, just keep silence about unannounced features.

P.S. And, of course, all XDA devs will be terribly upset about the lack of your comments! :D :D :D
