[HTC Sensation] coreyfro:
Linux has supported SMP for over 15 years. So long as an android device has two CPU intensive applications running at once, it's using both cores. Even the most basic, single threaded application can benefit from multiple cores if it depends on additional services such as sound, video, or networking because the second core will manage the additional services independently.

In other words, at a systemic level, your dual core phone will be utilized, regardless of the threadedness of the application.

An additional byproduct of single threaded applications on a multicore system, stupidly CPU intensive applications such as flash will only be able to hog 50% of your performance, allowing your other applications to run less affected than if flash were on a single core system of twice the speed.

Hello.

Im currently using Cognition V1.31, this rom includes the new Market.

What happens when I changed the DPI is that some apps wont install trough market, it says that my device is not supported. (The install button isnt present)

If I delete the new Market, and replace it with the old market everything works again.

Apps that wouldn't install using new market and DPI is, Skype and Lookout

Anyone else that have the same issues?
[Galaxy S II General] tremblingwater:
Yeah, Im having this problem with a lot of apps. I didn't know it was because of the DPI change, i thought it was just the new market that was having these problems?
[Galaxy S II General] bazofia:
Set dpi to 240, install apps and then set dpi back to desired custom dpi
[Galaxy S II General] mdalacu:
For me it happens also with old market app.
[Galaxy S II General] oleost:
Keeping the old market until its fixed.
[Galaxy S II General] bezeek:
App incompatibility with custom dpi = Android bug?

I'm on an Evo, but have the same problem. I spoke to the developer of one affected app, (AutoKiller,) and to the best of their knowledge the incompatibility issue is not related to their code.

The problem is also evident at market.android.com, which identifies many apps as incompatible as of late, when using custom dpi scaling.

After picking through the manifest files of a handful of apps, I've found no relation between the apps that exhibit this problem, or even anything that sets them apart from apps that will still install normally. AutoKiller even specifies in the manifest that any density screen should be supported. Additionally, there is no apparent connection to the target and required SDK versions.

I'm about ready to call this an Android bug, maybe a Market bug, even. The Android Dev Guide page on "Supporting Multiple Screens" implies that valid ranges for an hdpi display are between 200 and 279. I tested this range on my Evo and found that not a single framework resource breaks within it. Immediately outside this range - i.e. 199 or 280 - certain screen elements fail to display properly.

Honestly, it's getting annoying really fast. If I have some more time to look into it later, I may file a bug at Google Code. At the very least, the cause of this "incompatibility" nonsense should be documented in the Android Dev Guide, so that it can be anticipated, understood, and avoided when appropriate.

(I can't post links yet, so find the "Supporting Multiple Screens" document @ developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html if interested.)
[Galaxy S II General] Leraeniesh:
Im running on an Xperia Play with a DPI of 200 (Default: 240) and cant download essential apps that have said bug (Ex. Facebook). Hopefully we find a solution.
[Galaxy S II General] intruda119:
I thought I was the only one with this problem. I just recently started using Gingermod asop rom and everything was working perfect until I changed DPI and tried to update some apps.
[Galaxy S II General] Crucio_:
doesnt do anything with the dpi but.

http://amip.tools-for.net/wiki/android/marketaccess
[Galaxy S II General] GIR:
It's not a bug, it's a feature. The market checks your device resolution against what the dev reported to work. If it's too high the app might not work at all or draw incorrectly. Some apps have HD versions which work with higher DPI's check those out.
[Galaxy S II General] bezeek:
Devs I have spoken to report that they have NOT intended for this to happen. Additionally, I have yet to find a single APK which suffers from this problem and has DPI constraints defined within its AndroidManifest.xml.

I have ripped apart over half a dozen apps trying to find the cause of this, and as a matter of fact, the first one I opened up explicitly specifies compatibility with ANY screen density.

Feature? That's not what it's called when even the devs don't have control over it.

(For clarity, an optional declaration in an application's AndroidManifest.xml is what determines screen density constraints, if any. By default, applications willingly install and run on any screen density for which they have fitting resources. From the dev's standpoint, these densities are not measured in exact pixels, but instead in named ranges (ldpi, mdpi, hdpi, and xhdpi.) When outfitted with resources that match the screen density range, the system scales resources at runtime to meet its exact needs. For more information about how Android handles screen density, please review the article I referenced before.)
[Galaxy S II General] BenKranged:
You guys are on the right track.

Custom dpi (lcd density) seems to cause the "incompatible" problem with the new market.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1196417

Going back to 240 dpi and clearing market data makes everything work as it should.

You can then go back to your custom dpi, but most users are reporting the problem comes back after a while.
[Galaxy S II General] KLoNe1:
Thanks for the heads-up - I had no idea it would have been from the DPI setting.
[Galaxy S II General] bezeek:
It would be great if there were a way to spoof density, so the market always identifies at 240dpi, (or appropriate.) Switching and rebooting all the time sucks. Anyone with some smali skills want to try hard-coding it into the new Market.apk? I will be trying, but I've had zero luck with APK modding thus far :o

[Galaxy S II General] bezeek:
Google is apparently aware of the problem and considering what to do about it. Post: "Anyone with different LCD density and Market issue, look here"

In the meantime, I have found that doing a soft-reversion to 240 with LCDDensity For Root when I want to run updates is not too much hassle.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dumath:
Jim, your best bet would be to flash CWM recovery by following these instructions:

Once you've done that you can flash to any rom you choose. The recovery installed by ROM manager, from my understanding, isn't a FULL recovery suite.

Please help.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruuce:
Instead of trying to get the US version of the market apk to work on a WW version of stock, I'd recommend just taking the plunge and install a custom ROM onto it. That should already have everything you need pre-installed in it.

If you're not familure with custom ROMs, its not that scary. But you do have to be rooted first. It looks like someone has come up with a superoneclick for all versions. I haven't personally tried it, but that might be your easiest bet at this point. Or you could use the batch file method, which I'm more inclined to do since I don't want to burn a CD.

After that, you should be able to install a custom ROM, which I recommend Prime v1.7 final as it seems to be the crowd favorite around here and has many other themes and mods specifically designed for it. I'm not sure where to download the WW version, but I know he's made them in the past. You might pop over to the thread and ask about it.

[Acer Iconia A500] klaus9000:

Hmmm. I was hoping that rooting/SetCPU/screen settings could get me closer to 8 hours of life, but that's not the case. I'll probably just sell the Iconia since the battery life is my main reason for owning a tablet, and in this case it isn't that much better than my laptop.

[Acer Iconia A500] mburke178:
not trying to be an ass, but what are you guys using your tabs for? i run taboonay rom with thor kernel and good to very good battery life. I use my tablet all day long at work for e-mails, pdf viewing, gaming when i shouldn't be, and playing around on the internet. I wake up at 5 am everyday unplug my tab and start the day. With said usage i can go from 6ish AM till almost midnight and still have 20-30 something percent battery left. I wouldn't say i use it hard core, but i put it work. Just charge it while your asleep and it should last all day. Now on the occasion i watch movies on it it does drain the battery like a bastard but i can still get 5-7 hours of non stop movie watching on it. I really can't complain about the iconias battery at all. If you expect this thing to run like Carl Louis all day long without plugging it in you're in lala land. Theres alot of threads on how to get rid of cell usage drain, and look at whats killing your battery it may be an app or something you did settings wise to drain it faster.
[Acer Iconia A500] Cactus42:
Completely agree, I got mine on Saturday and apart from the initial charge it's only been plugged in twice. Used on and off throughout the day on Sunday, most of Monday evening, all Tuesday evening and all Wednesday evening, playing games and on the web with a bit of youtube and playing around. First time charged at 35% on Monday evening, second time yesterday at about 11pm as it was down to 10%. I think that's pretty damn good myself. It's on OTA 3.1 and Rooted

As for comparing to netbooks, have a look at the size of the battery in a Netbook compared to the Iconia. Of course they're going to last similar amounts of time - The Iconia has a smaller battery but has less to power versus the netbooks larger battery with more devices to power.
[Acer Iconia A500] TheChillburger:
I'm at 67% after about 27 hours with about 2 hours of actual use. I guess that's ok. I flashed the Minimalist rom on Tuesday so I probably haven't given the battery enough time to break in. Sorry for being a *****, I'm just impatient >.<

I was kind of afraid if it would last me through a day of classes when college starts back, but I think I'll be ok.

setcpu settings?

I'm using SetCPU as well, but getting no where near what you say. I left it on sleep last night and it drained 15% - same as before.

But, maybe I'm not using it right. I enabled the "screen off" profile and dropped the speed.

What are you doing/setting to get that standby time?
[Acer Iconia A500] kqboat:
Ok, I activated a couple more profiles including "time", temp, low battery. Low battery definitely turned on and I saw the change in the icon on the bottom right. I think the "screen off" is not turning on - basically can't see it when the screen is really off ;). But, it's definitely draining the same amount of battery.

Am I doing something wrong?
[Acer Iconia A500] Sledutah:
SetCPU didn't help mine either. Tried a few different profiles. I thought the one that would help the most is Screen Off, I set it max and min to 216mhz. No difference in battery drain overnight.
[Acer Iconia A500] Djaz69:
During heavy use I get about 8 hours out of it(eg: playing games, surfing, data processing, listening to music) under a light load just reading, playing a few fb games, and listening to music I get around 14 hours. At an idle/standby I get up to 48-56 hours of run time before charging. Of course I have the screen set to a high brightness, wifi never shut off, alarms active at times.

Hello

I installed JokerDroid ROM and I really like it. After fresh install i have 167mb of free internal memory ( because of a2sd). But as we know there are some problems with sense based roms (2.2.1) and AlphaRev - no setup wizard, no htc wallpapers... and MMS send/receive problem.

After that i flashed Sense fix. Now i got working setup wizard and most important I can send and receive MMS.

But the problem is that after fix i get only 120mb of free internal space and all new apps are installed on phone. Somehow that Sense fix destroyed a2sd option.

Is there a way how to fix this?

Thanks
[Wildfire General] bx19:
The 167mb free memory after fresh installation is not because of a2sd. Make sure you have created ext partition correctly. Then install "a2sdgui" from market and see if it is working.
[Wildfire General] urkotheone:
I installed ext partition correctly because i was using it normal last month with this ROM.

Before i created ext partition i got 120mb free with this ROM(fresh install) and after i created ext i get 167mb. Also after ext partition when i install angry birds it uses only about 2mb of internal storage, before about 22mb. So yes ext partition works.

The problem starts when i flash Sense fix.

Any idea?
[Wildfire General] bx19:
No idea. I haven't used jokerdroid actually. So, maybe I'm out of knowledge. But I doubt getting 120MB free memory on fresh install (without ext partition).

And regarding angry birds, suppose if you install it without ext partition, I guess it will be installed to ".android_secure" folder of sdcard (atleast on stock froyo rom). Because it supports default apps2sd and also has default install location to sdcard (fat partition). So, maybe you shouldn't consider it on judging that ext partition works.
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Re-enable A2SD using the terminal emulator with the required commands (a2sd reinstall and a2sd cachesd), or, download A2SD GUI from the market and re-enable it.
[Wildfire General] urkotheone:
Just before I read this last post i fixed this problem with A2SDGUI. I found that after Sense Fix the dalvik cache was moved to internal storage. I just moved it back to sd and now it works.

Some details:

HD2 512.

Typhoon 3.5.6.

MAGLDR 1.13.

Recovery 4.0.0.0.

Some things I know:

CM7 takes a while to load anyway.

I believe having lots of media (I have 7GB MP3's) can lengthen boot times. (~Theory is crapped all over with my SGS2 but some people have mentioned this fact).

The problem here is not at the loading stage where the bootanim kicks in, it's the stage before with the static logo after GO GO GO.

My SGS2 literally loads and is ready to use in 10 seconds to OS and 30 seconds to functionality after media scan/widgets etc.

So what's my HD2 doing at the static logo screen? It basically doubles the entire loading time but from my little knowledge, nothing actually happens until the bootanimation? I don't like waiting up to 2 minutes to be using my phone.

I hear CLK has a faster boot option. In anyone's opinion, have they sorted data out enough to come away from MAGLDR?

Thanks in anticipation of any responses.
