There is alot of pointless images in there, but what will it slim it down by, 2mb at most? Not worth my time.
[Verizon Droid Charge] mbh87:
I take it the 5 minutes it would take to zipalign wasnt worth your time either?
[Verizon Droid Charge] TheMuffStuff:
Nope. Since your so worried about it why dont you do it for me.
[Verizon Droid Charge] mbh87:
No thanks. Wouldnt exactly call yourself a "themer" either for just copy pasta some images.

Your right, zipaligning would make me a themer though.

Could you maybe make a pure MIUI theme? Lilke the one on the Tbolt :)

Please and thank you. I wish tthemes were compatible with Eclipse :(
[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
Being a themer doesn't mean you have to hand fabricate your images from scratch, good lord. He just pulled together a bunch of his favorite images and made a cool theme from it and ported to the Charge. He did a good job and I like it. So I'm downloading it.

You don't have to download it if you feel the framework-res is overpopulated by fascinate png's. Personally, 2mb in today's world is like 2kb 10 years ago, which isn't crap. Your internet connection will download it 2 seconds anyway. Not to mention average desktop hard drives these days are minimum 500gb in size.
[Verizon Droid Charge] TheMuffStuff:
Its not just making the size bigger so the download is longer, he does have beef and it might slow down the system. I just dont think 2-3MB worth of useless png's in my framework, and other apps, will slow down the system at all.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Samsuck:

Any tips on how to prevent bricking your my touch 4g ?!?! If you have the bad chip.
[myTouch 4G General] TeeJay3800:
Yeah, don't root it. There's no guarantee that a phone with a bad chip will die after being rooted, but for the most part, they only fail after being rooted. Also for the most part, the good chips never fail whether the phone is rooted or not. There are exceptions to every rule, including these, but personally, if I found out my phone had the bad chip, I wouldn't root it. It's essentially a ticking time bomb.
[myTouch 4G General] Zac95:
I'm an evo guy and just saw this. What chip are we talking exactly?
[myTouch 4G General] TeeJay3800:
The infamous MT4G eMMC chip.
[myTouch 4G General] Zac95:
Does this only affect the mt4g or is it an emmc issue in general?
[myTouch 4G General] AndrewAD3:
Just MT4G.
[myTouch 4G General] Jack_R1:
Rooting just increases the chances. Since eMMC is always being written to (data and cache partitions are actively used for R/W access), rooting only might get the chip closer to being dead, allowing much more R/W cycles to occur within a small amount of time (when flashing ROMs), but if the chip dies - most likely it was bound to die anyway, maybe a bit later. So I wouldn't let the bad chip stop me from flashing.

[myTouch 4G General] mike21pr:
G2 / Desire Z and myTouch 4G are the victims here... I had a 4G that suffered from this also, imo if you have a bad chip, constant flashing will just speed up the bricking process (i flashed a lot) so if you must have root, then find a rom you like and stick with it for as long as you can if it fits your needs

[myTouch 4G General] nee_vak:
lol wouldnt you need to root to find out if you've got the bad chip in the first place? unless terminal emulator doesnt need su permissions to give that info

edit: nm. I guess you dont...
[myTouch 4G General] TeeJay3800:
Correct, there are terminal commands you can run to get that info which don't need SU access.

Agree 100%. At the end of the day, its still just a phone.
[myTouch 4G General] PowSniffer0110:
What are the commands? I want to know if I have a bad chip or not.
[myTouch 4G General] mackster248:
Not on the computer so I'm too lazy to navigate and find it via XDA app. But go to the eMMC thread and search for "terminal." I'm almost certain you'll find the command within the first couple results.

Ideas how o prevent 'BAD' chip from being bricked

This is Linux Question after all.

Knowing that bad chip runs out of write cycle is probably the cause of crashing it self. Solution could be :

Relocation the cache that fails to read when "bad" chip goes bad to other RAM or SD card,is that possible?

Relocating the /data to other RAM or SD card, is that possible?

OR have some sort of safety net when stuff goes bad for the system have alternate partition to work with with data already ready on it.

OR limit the write cycles by not to do caching.

This will be only applicable if you flash ROM and intend to stick with it for rest of the times,unless this potential fix idea will get adapted in to the ROMs.

Idea is to move the week link from bad chip to more stable ROM or SD card memory,relocate or not to use the chip fro writing when possible.

Could the fact that ether radio S-off,or other "fake"s-offs use different permissions have affect on how stuff is processed on the eMMC?

So if you are true developer you already have brain spinning on how to code the mounting on boot to get something like et this happened and may be other genius idea?

OR .....

MT4G;M4G2DE 2.10;eng. boot loader;update-cm-7.0.3-glacier-signed.zip .

u4server.net
[myTouch 4G General] Jack_R1:
The failing chip is no RAM, but EEPROM. Please read on the subject.

You can't relocate partitions to another chip, since there are no other eMMC chips in the system.

The partitions are hard-coded in bootloader. They can be overridden when the kernel is loading, but when the chip fails - the kernel partition is also dead.

Limiting the write cycles won't help at all.

Theoretically, by replacing the bootloader code you could make it work with SD card (partitioned in a specific way) instead of eMMC chip, but why would you want to, instead of just having the phone repaired under warranty? Plus, you'll have to write a specific recovery that will also work with those partitions instead of the system default ones. While theoretically possible, it's a bad, awkward solution.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enriquealo:
hi, I finally decided to install CM7 on my Nook and have a few questions

1. I installed the latest nightly CM7 using ROM manager , if I want to update to a newer one and restore my current backup (earlier nightly) the new kernel and upgrades done by the newer nightly are going to stay? or I just restored the nightly I already had?

2. How secure is the overclocking thing because I've noticed a little heating on the lower part of my nook near the charging port, also spare parts says that my battery's temperature is 36.6 Celsius is this normal?

3. And last but not least, I installed the app "nook color tweaks", to change the gain on the speaker and headphones, I understand that if I move the settings on that app are gonna be reflected directly on the hardware, if I'm not satisfied with the results can I restore the "factory" settings?

Thanks in advance, I'm a newbie in everything related to Android, but not to technology and want to learn more.

P.S. sorry about my grammar, English isn't my mother language.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AidenM:
36.6 celsius is burning hot! In India, when it's about 100 F, it's maybe 29 C. Turn off the oc, man!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] w8wca:
You can either download the latest nightly (and keep gapps on your uSD card)

And manually install the new nightly kind of on top of existing one.

Or you can use rom manager to install the nightlies also.

It has always worked fine for me using rom manager (you need to select Gapps also)
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enriquealo:
Hi, thanks for your replies, well I removed the overclock and the temperature dropped between 30 and 32 C, I think the weather has to do with this temperatures, I'm located at the north of Mexico and temperatures have been around 35~36C.

Also, when updating do I need to wipe cahe and data or just flash the nightlies?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AidenM:
just flash.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:
You don't need to wipe Dalvik but it recommended to wipe cache, yes, when updating nightly builds
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skunkeye:
36.6 C is about 98 F. That's not quite "burning hot"... ;)

im trying to sync FB contacts with my regular contacts list. now, on Froyo there was a menu item to sync with FB. but now, on Gingerbread, that option is gone. most of my contacts are synced but some people who have different FB names, FB wont sync them and i cant do it manually. any way to do this??

[Atrix 4G General] dictoresno:
yes. at first, FB synced like 95% of my contacts but left some not synced. i had to figure our how to manually sync them. you have to go into edit contacts, then "join" contacts to another contact (the FB one) then save it. more steps than it was on Froyo, but it worked.
[Atrix 4G General] RustyWedges:
I think this may solve the issue I'm having. Thanks.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dhessler5:
In the last month or so my SMS has not been working properly. My phone doesn't send or receive all of my text messages. I will be sitting next to a friend and watch them send me a text and I will never receive it. It isn't every single text but it happens too often and is quickly becoming a big deal. It has been happening for the past month or so, which coincidentally is when I started using q Sense 3.0 rom. I have no idea if this is what caused it though. I also have problems where when my phone turns off, whether I restart it or if it dies, and I turn it back on it sends random old texts to random people.

Any insights on either of these two problems would be greatly appreciated.

- sluggish menus

@up - use [APP] BetterBatteryStats to see which process wakelock your's phone.

If You use 3G/HSDPA data connection there is next bug in Gingerbread - DataTracker-FastDormancy will always awake phone - see Brainstorming: how to completely disable DataTracker-FD and Fast Dormancy (but this metod work only when You do not turn on data).

FastDormancy not turn off even when you turn off data, and make your phone always awake (in my phone i get 5% draining battery in 1,5h when not use).
