[Verizon Droid Charge] 24BlackMamba:
i dont really know too much about AOSP rom's but from what i hear they are very basic.. what makes that so great? i really have no idea since ive never used a AOSP rom. just wanted to know cuz i always hear ppl talking about how great they are. thanks
[Verizon Droid Charge] yutzybrian:
They are true Android. Built clean from source code from the AOSP website and modified to work with the specific phone. Basically its how every Android phone should come but each manufacturer likes to mess with the software and add their own stuff.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Varelse:
i agree, AOSP is very minimalistic, thats why i prefer them over an other rom
[Verizon Droid Charge] duuurp:
They're fast. Pretty much the main reason anyone switches.
[Verizon Droid Charge] blarrick:
Like the unlock screens this phone came with, both of them sucked. The puzzle was annoying because I would miss the swipe about 15% of the time while the glass unlock screen was just bad looking. I don't see the big deal about AOSP seeing as i replace pretty much anything AOSP/stock anyway(messenger, lockscreen, browser etc). I get it's there for the simplicity and stability but it's just boring if you ask me.
[Verizon Droid Charge] sneakysolidbake:

Performance on aosp blows touchwiz out of the water any day.

[Verizon Droid Charge] blarrick:
TW4 isn't bad :]
[Verizon Droid Charge] sneakysolidbake:
Visually, its a huge improvement over tw3 but that's only the launcher. The only things I like about tw are the music player, task manager, and calculator. That's it. Not worth the sacrifice of performance imo.

We (maybe just I) want aosp because it frees us from samsungs untimely and poorly written source code releases.
[Verizon Droid Charge] GuestK00231:
AOSP is pure google experience. AOSP ROM's are google experience with developer tweaks.

It doesn't require many approval processes, so it runs the latest version of the O/S usually before phone manufacturers can get them out

It is very slim and minimalistic with it being highly customizable.

It comes minus any bloat, all source code is available, full wiki with instructions to remove any portion you want, teh ability to grab the source code and compile it yourself..etc.

Here is an example as far as bloat goes, I had the thunderbolt for a bit, CM7 checked in around 80ish mb. A sense rom was going around 400 mbish.
[Verizon Droid Charge] BleedsOrangeandBlue:
I'm assuming then that the RAM usage by the OS will decrease dramatically from what it is now?

Its crazy to me that this device sets aside almost 200mb for the OS anyway, yet on startup, another 200 is used up immediately (I rebooted and cleared memory just to see).

Just seems like a rather large footprint.
[Verizon Droid Charge] sneakysolidbake:
Android isn't like your pc operating system. Unused ram is wasted ram. Apps are loaded in the background so they open quicker when you use them. When the ram is too low it kills off some processes.
[Verizon Droid Charge] BleedsOrangeandBlue:
Yea, I saw that response coming. I get how it works.

However, if you had more RAM to start with, more applications could be cached at a time which means your device will be opening more apps quickly. That's why I rebooted my phone before I provided numbers, because I'm asking about the RAM that the OS leaves free to actually do the caching.

Are you really trying to tell me that Android is so good that it wouldn't benefit from having more RAM available to it on startup?
[Verizon Droid Charge] sneakysolidbake:
No I get what you mean. This phone certainly does suffer from a lack of ram and aosp will help with that.

However, rebooting doesn't really tell you much about ram used by the os because it begins caching apps before it fully boots if I remember correctly.
[Verizon Droid Charge] sneakysolidbake:
Edit: double post
[Verizon Droid Charge] jamesc760:
Lol, the more free RAM, the more efficient and faster your phone runs: for example, my old G1 with its limited RAM would freeze for 3 minutes if you tried its phone dial app, mind you it would happen almost randomly as the phone swapped out memory, oc'ing the g1 CPU made no difference since the bottleneck was the memory size. So, the more ram you have the better off you are.
[Verizon Droid Charge] neyenlives:
Typically the AOSP roms will be packaged together with a custom kernel built on mtd/yaffs which I believe to be the largest performance enhancer. The fact that the AOSP rom is minimal and has all the benefits as Utnapishtia mentioned just makes it that much faster because it's not burdened down with unnecessary garbage.

[Defy General] TudorBlue:
It worked a treat thanks. However, I have bought a new 4gb HC micro sd card and wanted to transfer all my ringtones and sms alert tones. I created both a Ringtone and a notification folder and added my stuff. But only the ringtons appear on my phone, not the notications. What have a I done wrong? is it because Im now using a 4gb HC card? Why do the ringtones appear on my phone but not the notification?? When I browse my phone and the sd card, I can see both folders:confused::confused::confused::confused: Help
[Defy General] juried:
On my SD card there appeared at some stage a folder called "Notifications"; try the exact name.
[Defy General] TudorBlue:
Firstly, I created both a Ringtones and a Notification folders for both my ringtones and sms alert tones. At first, I could only see my ringtones on the actual device. I then did a reboot and restored my device to factory settings, I then took my sd card out and formatted that. I created my folders again and this time, I could now see and use both my ringtones and notifications in my phone. However when I try to add new ones, getting to me phone through Moto helper, the new additions do not show up in my device, even though when I browse my phone's sd card, I can see them through Motorola MTP interface. is there any way to fix this? Has anyone else had the same problem?? Help:confused::confused:

If you have CWM recovery do a nandroid backup

step1: boot into recovery

step2: navigate to backup and storage

step3: hit backup

done, your backup should be in your sdcard in "clockworkmod" folder.

There seem to be a few decent options for android phones to be used as keyboards/touch pads for a computer but they're mostly wifi or bluetooth based and simply aren't optimized for tablets.

I'd like to see something with an option for USB connectivity as well, but I'd be happy to find an app that is a bit more optimal for a tablet or at least looks decent on one. If anyone knows of something worth looking at, I'd appreciate the help!

I use Gmote. The initial screen you are taken to displays in portrait only and it controls media functions like play, pause and rewind. If you hit the menu key there is an option for touchpad. Touchpad uses all of the tablets screen as a mouse touchpad and there is an option to pull up the keyboard. This screen will work in landscape mode and works really well on my HTPC.

BTW the app is free in the market and will require you to install a free application on the computer. Works with Windows/Mac/Linux.

Grocery IQ

- autosync with spouses phone so when you add or delete from the list, it shows up on the other person's phone within a couple of minutes of opening the app.

Handcent

- much better messaging app than stock...I even have my LED set to purple!

Ad Free

- have to be rooted - especially since most of my apps are free

SoundHound

- almost as good as Shazam but is unlimited...Shazam only allows 5 per month unless you got grandfathered in

KeyRing Rewards Cards

- hate carrying those little cards around since I don't have keys to carry

Battery Circle

- since MoPho only reads battery in increments of 10, this app reads in ones

I have 3 Fascinates. All can be put into download mode and two of them show up in Odin and in device manager. One of them doesn't It is currently in FC loop hell, but I am able to put it in download mode and get to the stock recovery. It is not recognized at all though in download mode on the computer.

I can unplug it and plug in another fascinate in download mode and that one works so I know its not the cable, drivers, or USB port. What can I do?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efan450:
A couple thing I would try....

-remove the battery and clean the usb port with some rubbing alcohol and the cable pins or compressed air just let it sit and dry before re installing the battery.

Put it in download mode and hook up to odin and see if you get "com"and a number in the message window...if you do flash eb01 and the atlas 2.2pit...it will get your phone back up and running and you can decide what to do from there. on cm7 my pc won't see my phone sometimes but odin always seems to work.

I use odin v.1.7 but try the newest one too...I think its 1.83?

I use vista home edition. try an xp, or windows 7os if this is what your running too

Try samsung fascinate drivers, samsung generic drivers and nexus drivers.

[HTC Sensation] sosquidtaste:
I'm running the stock kernel right now, and I was hoping I'd be able to Overclock/Undervolt it using this utility that we had back in the temp-root days: [MOD] Overclock Module Kernel list (Uploaded modules!) Reported as working

I've been able to run the batch file and get a temporary overclock/undervolt going on my phone, but as before it will disappear once I reboot.

Is there any way to enable this (preferably the 1.5GHz Undervolted option) and to have it stick between reboots now that we have a permanent root solution?

I know there are custom kernels out there, but they're still in development and cause all kinds of stability issues as of right now. I remember the overclock/undervolt tool in the thread linked above was totally stable for me before S-OFF showed up.

Basically I don't have and won't have a SD card in the nearest future and do want to root and potentially switch to custom ROM. Do I absolutely must have a SD card for that or will internal "hard drive" (yes, I know it's not HDD) of Transformer will suffice? As far as I understand there's no data wiping involved in root or reflash process.

hey guys i have look around the forums for the best portable speakers for the transformer but i have not found the information i am looking for

since you all know the TF speakers aren't the best i am looking for small perhaps battery operated speakers for my TF, now i have looked at the speakers people have mentioned in other threads but i am not sure if the sound on those particular speakers are any better then the ones the TF because the speakers some one may use on a phone may be quieter then one may use on a tablet

so if you guys could recommend some speakers perhaps around 20 bucks that would be great but if its more then is ok to

you can daisychain multiple units or do what i do and use a stereo splitter and 2 speakers to get stereo output, but even using just one it beats the TF speakers (and most laptops) comfortably for volume and delivers superior audio quality including decent bass response.

My tablet was 30 feet away from the speakers and it was still able to pull in the sound without any issues. There are buttons on the speaker that will let you could adjust the volume and also switch tracks. There is also a 3.5mm audio input jack which you could use instead of using bluetooth. The sound is pretty good. Much better then the speakers on the TF. Overall, I am pretty happy with the purchase. At first when I was trying to pair the speakers with my tablet I kept on getting FC with Prime 1.6. I eventually had to do a data wipe in order to get it to sync.
