Obtain a MicroSD card, format and install in your A500 microSD slot. Install Acer Recovery from the Market. In the app, install the new recovery. Say "yes" to backup the existing recovery. Once that finishes, chose the option to reboot into recovery. Once in recovery, chose the "restore and backup" menu, then "backup". The backup will take 5 minutes or so to complete. Chose option to "reboot system". Once Android comes back up, use a file manager app to go to your /mnt/external_sd/clockworkmod/backup and look for a file named "2011-08-08-03.58.40". This translates to the date and time you just did your backup. That's proof that you have a backup file. I would also use Titanium Backup to backup all apps and system files to make getting your new ROM functional easier once you get it flashed.

Once you have this backup, you can flash other ROMS to experiment. If you want to go back to stock, then boot back into recovery as above, or hold down on the volume- button, then push and hold the power button. Release both buttons when script appears in the upper left corner of the "Acer" boot screen. This should bring up the Acer Recovery menu you installed earlier (when you flash a new ROM be sure to reinstall this app). Again, chose the "restore and backup" menu, but this time chose restore. It should bring up your microSD directory and you should see the "2011-08-08-03.58.40" (or whatever date you did your backup). using the volume rocker, chose that file, press the power button, and restore that backup. That should take you back to your stock configuration. You'll probably have to reinstall your widgets though.

how u get so many free ram? i only get 45-50 using adv task killer..
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] B_e_n:
Without my apps i have 95 100Mo of free ram (with out the app2ext I have so nearly 100 apps and it take some ram...)

But with all my apps and with the swap enable I can get between 70 to 80Mo

I don t use advtaskkiller anymore i think it use more ram that it can free

I use autokiller memory optimizer (it change the settup of the android task killer so no useless use of ram) and to kill my apps i use the Go task manager (a widget from the golauncher app)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] secret_tidus:
wat u set at the autokiller memory optimizer?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] B_e_n:
Optimum settings.

But maybe someone have others settings better?

I know some use minfreemanager (already in the rom) but it seems the same than autokiller

I don't do a lot of gaming but I do listen to quite a bit of online media.

I average around 65-75mb all the time and at the very least 55mb when running Tune-in or Jango radios or Poweramp (memory hog btw but really good media player).

Side note: keep you widgets to a minimum. They eat RAM.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] secret_tidus:
i just encounter some prob when swaped... for the 1st time i swaped it work fine and smooth all the way and no freezing but later on i reboot and try to swaped again my xt started to freeze when run certain apps...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
i don't know about that, I went without widgets for the longest time cause everybody always told me how they eat ram and battery. Now for the past month or so I have had 1-2 widgets on each of my home pages and I really don't see much change. I am keeping the same amount of ram available and battery seems to drain the same. Not much difference, but I could be wrong I would have to go back to no widgets for a day or 2 and monitor my ram to be positive. I do know it isn't nearly as bad as what people say that kept me from using them to begin with.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
I use both minfree and autokiller and they seem to work together, I set my autokiller and minfreemanager automatically copies the settings. Don't know if it does much good but doesn't do any harm. It seems to work good
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Woody:
Think of it this way. Say you have a 4x2 or 4x4 widget that is oh say MSNBC or Reuters newsfeed or your Facebook/G+ feed. These not only tax you home screen memory but they are always "running" too. If you have something like Widgetlocker where you can customize your lock screen and put apps or link on it directly, I have found that it munches free RAM really bad (14-17mb). So much so that I don't use it anymore (paid app too).

All a widget is is really just a custom icon that either monitors a running app/service, in which case it itself is running. Or it is running on its own, like a clock or feed or some kind.

Something like mClock or Battstat isn't too harsh, but 3rd party Keyboards can be quite draining too (I use Better kb and it is around 11mb but I like it and have had it since day one).

Good way to check is to go to Settings->Apps->Running Services and each will have the MB on the far right. Anything in double digits is hungry for your RAM.

I know you use that Go widget. Check out how much RAM it is using by going into settings and see if it is worth having it on there. Might be. You seem to be getting good RAM so is it aint broken don't fix it.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
I just know I thought the same cause that's what everybody said so I just went by what I heard without experiencing it for my self. Now I have experienced it and found out it's not as bad and hardly noticeable for me. i have 6 widgets and only one is showing using about 2mb of ram. The messaging widget is probably being shared with handcent but it runs anyway so no big difference. I have a weather/clock widget, news, message, facebook, poweramp and go launcher app killer widget
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Woody:
That's cool. Like I said, you seem to have more RAM than many, so keep doing what you are doing. It is working.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] mchlbenner:
If your concerned about ram your wasting ram by useing minifree ect you can mamage your ram through ardoidiani

Open recovery.

I ave 70 memory and had up to 110 and i have 60 apps.

Minfree can take up to 15 memory from you.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Lmao so in other words we are just stupid? That's funny cause neither minfree or autokiller even shows in running services. All they do is fine tune the settings android already has and uses to make memory more efficient. Wow 15 memory? I think we'd notice that big of a hit. They never show up in running services and don't use any RAM from what I see.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] mchlbenner:
You wrong again those are worthless you just want to disagree with im tryed of your crap learn about your phone system.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
So that's why our Dev's included Minfreemanager in our ROM's. I'm just clarifying what i know having been using them. My memory management has been much better. They work as they are supposed to or pretty darn close. People have the right to an opinion from someone who uses them and it using 15mb of RAM is not what I see. Get mad if you have to but it is disinformation.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] mchlbenner:
Those applications cause memory links number complaint is builds dont stay memory and i have test this and they do cause leaks.

On cm6 i run none of those apps and i avg 70 memory and as high as 110 by the way i running a diffrent cm6.

I have not had to reboot phone for 5 days.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] B_e_n:
I don t know that you can use AOR to manage your ram

I will try it

For the memory killers (min free and autokiller memory optimizer) i think they don t use a lot of ram but they do use some. You can see it at the booting (autokiller always ask for superuser) and my phone is always slower at the booting (40 to 50Mo free max) but after 1 or 2 minutes (i think it s the time to autokiller and minfree to launch and apply settings) it became normal

I think i will test to remove the both and i will see if with only the AOR manager i get the same free ram

Edit: I can find the manager in AOR where do you find it???
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] peshovec:
just reviewing

http://code.google.com/p/androidian...ads/detail?name=OpenRecovery-3_3.zip&can=2&q=

i believe it is the latest androidani open recovery...

ok the memory management menu do the following:

#!/sbin/sh

echo "Memory Manager"
echo ""

cp -fR /sdcard/OpenRecovery/mod/etc/init.d/memory1.sh /system/etc/init.d/99complete

chmod 755 /system/etc/init.d/99complete
chown 0.2000 /system/etc/init.d/99complete

sleep 1

guess what is in the memory1.sh :):

#/sbin/sh

echo "6146,8208,16416,20520,22528,24572" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree

so basically it seems that both of you talked about the same thing...

e.g. LibertyMonger and mchlbenner both of You are talking about lowmemory killer module (e.g. android native memory manager)

btw, i like the way they modified build.prop entries:)

#!/sbin/bash
replacement=s/dalvik.vm.heapsize=.*/dalvik.vm.heapsize=$1/
sed -i $replacement /system/build.prop

rm -Rf /data/dalvik-cache/*

didn't know about sed existence:) very nice

actually i like almost every script i view:)

Hi,

Is the trick below still needed if we want to use link2sd only?

Download a program called usbdeview. Open up the program (run as administrator) and delete all of the drivers associated with your phone. Make sure USB Debugging is turned on in your settings/applications and plug your phone back into your computer. This should download the drivers necessary to run ADB.

Try using one of splash screens that are on this site already so you can tell if there is something wrong with the file that you are using or if you are missing a step. You can always replace it later once you know what the problem is. I'm thinking that if it's saying that there is no such file that may be the problem with the file. Did you unzip the file from the folder and put it on the root of the sdcard?

What's the exact difference between SPL Hboot and Recovery?

Please explain it precisely.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZaLiTHkA:
There's a link in my sig to a glossary of Android terms, you'll find both of those listed there with a good description. But seriously though, you could've just Googled it... :confused:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maxymo123:
Why so many of you assume that people don't make a search before they make a question?

I did Google it and I haven't found a good answer. And I haven't found a good answer in your glossary either. Pleased?

The glossary says that Hboot is a piece of firmware - great.

I've been asking for precise explanation.

If you would google it you would probably find the information that Hboot is the same as SPL not as Bootloader:

http://forum.android.com.pl/f92/hboot-co-to-takiego-11383/

That is why I'm making the quiestion:

1. What is what.

2. What does what.

3. And what is more primary.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omongo:
HBOOT is 2nd stage bootloader. (GRUB, NTLDR)

Recovery is a boot image that used to fix and manage the system. (Recovery boot, Safe mode)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maxymo123:
Thank you omongo.

I feel the difference between NTLDR and Safe Mode.

And what is the difference between Hboot and SPL?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZaLiTHkA:
I'm not sure if it's Google Translate's fault or not, but the description Arturrro gave in that thread is horrible, using terms such as SPL (secondary program loader) dates back to the WM days. Android doesn't use the same system as WM, so things are pretty different.

If anyone spots something I've made a mistake with, let me know.. But otherwise, this is the conclusion I've come to after about 5 months' worth of research. And all of it retrieved by nothing more than reading XDA, searching Google and trial-and-error on my Desire.

HBoot

What it is: This is the hardware initiation or boot stage, much like the BIOS on a PC. Other than a placeholder for specific settings, all the HBoot does is handle the initial hardware initialization for your device.

What it does: With S-off (or 'Full Root' as it's also referred to) controls specific settings related to your device: these include the system partition size, cache partition size, data partition size, and more. They are not stored in an editable way, hense the reason for flashing a modified HBoot to get custom system partition sizes.

FastBoot

What it is: This is a more software orientated system, you'll notice when loading into FastBoot, support for the navigation controls on your phone are enabled? That's because it's already started loading your device drivers into memory at this point. Think of it as a GUI to the terminal style interface to the system settings on your device.

What it does: Because certain navigation and communication drivers are loaded at this point, USB connections are available in this state, which allows the use of both the ADB (used to push/pull files from phone) and FastBoot (used only as an initiator for FastBoot on the phone itself) processes to be run from a computer to update areas of your device.

For the record, the 'Recovery' menu as Omongo says, is not really a 'safe mode'. The recovery menu only shows up after rooting the device, it's a true root-level management tool that allows you to make system changes in a less technical manor.

For example:

Flashing a custom ROM via FastBoot involves terminal commands to push the update to the phone's memory card ('adb push update.img') then to flash it and update the correct areas ('fastboot flash system update.img').

Flashing a custom ROM via Recovery involves selecting the menu options update by a selected zip file, this would then use the same methods as FastBoot to flash, but you don't need to manually type any commands.
