Once you flash Kryillos' ROM you are no longer running the stock kernel

CWM is ClockWorkMod Recovery and it comes with the ROM and so it's different (Google it)

And about making a SWAP, well , you might wanna read this -

"1. An Android swap partition must live on your SD card. SD cards are very, very slow memory. They are 100 to 1000x slower than a SIM. They are 10 to 100x slower than a hard drive. They are marginally faster than a network connection. When an application is “swapped out” it is copied into this very slow memory, and copied back to physical memory when it needs to run. On the other hand, when an app needs to be restarted after being terminated by Android, it is loaded not from the SD card but from the device’s (relatively) fast physical memory.

2. When an Android app is terminated because of low memory, it decides what information must be persisted to represent it’s state. This can be very, very small. For example, it might be an integer index into a database. When an app is moved into virtual memory, the OS has no idea what’s important. It just moves the application in whole. It can’t be smart about it.

3. Having swap actually prevents the native Android memory management scheme from activating. The system sees memory and doesn’t distinguish between physical and virtual. It will therefore prefer swap over the native Android memory management scheme, and won’t activate the native scheme until swap is full.

4. Having swap requires some overhead of system resources."

Nice and informative.

RI've had my tab for a few weeks now and am generally happy with it.

The things I'm pleased with:

Battery life - can't fault it so far

Build quality

App compatability - generally no issues

Web browsing and music are good

Screen is fantastic

Things I'm unhappy with:

The omission of an actual sd card slot is an annoyance

Stock u.i laggy (using adw now)

Mac compatablity is lacking.Kies is ok for it but by no means fantastic

My biggest disappointment has been video compatability or lack of it. A lot of my videos are now digitally encoded, some are ok on the tab, others have horrendous breakup. I've done as much research as possible into re-encoding these to suitable format but no matter what program and settings I use I can't get them to run properly. I'm getting to the stage of moving down the Ipad route. I'd post screenshots but apparentlly can't for another 8 posts :mad:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mdt73:
Did you get the large update to touchwiz recently? I actually started using the stock video player now, as I don't have any problems with the playback. Unless you are enconding in some off the wall format, I would think you wouldn't have any problems.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gazwkd:
No on the touchwiz update as yet. I have limited net access in that some things are blocked. Glorious Afghanistan ;) I'm checking every now and then as I can bypass somethings but it's not showing any updates.

In regards to video encoding I've used settings recommended in these forums and also trialled the pavtube program as well as numerous others including handbrake. Pulling my hair out over it!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ittihad:
i agree with you with the Video Support, coming from the Galaxy s phone the Tab almost doesn't play anything without converting and stuff :( on my phone it just play everything without a need for any video player other than stock
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] foxmeister:
I had the same issue as you - pretty much everything I tried to play on the GT would break up or have other issues. I was about to return the tablet when I tried transferring a video over WiFi rather than Kies for the Mac. To my surprised it played flawlessly.

So, I rather suspect that your problem is Kies performing some sort of erroneous conversion on the video as it is transferring the video across to the tablet.

I don't use Kies for the Mac anymore, and always transfer files via WiFi, and seldom have any playback issues now.

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mapas:
If you transfer photos/movies from a MAC via the current version of kies then these get corrupted...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gazwkd:
I'll try the wifi tip cheers. Although a friend has a 5 year old laptop that I tried the converted videos on and the same breakup occured through vlc. No probs with any of the encoded videos through vlc on my mac pro though.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gazwkd:
Tried the wifi tip and works :) Shame it's a little on the slow side but it'll do till there's a better way :rolleyes:

Kies is definately broken for the mac, it hasn't corrupted every video I transferred but enough to really annoy!

Cheers for the tip

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] 5thElement:
The Tegra 2 is not capable to decoding most HD video. The video accelerator (seperate from the GPU) is simply too slow and can not decode most h.264 profiles other than profiles which are obsolete (baseline for example)

Sorry folks, its not a problem with the actual software, its the Tegra 2 which is simply too slow to decode much of todays HD video.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dario69:
Agreed. As an owner of both a Captivate and Tab 10.1 I am less than impressed with the video performance of this Tab. My Cappy blows it away.

Now the only thing the Tab has over the Cappy is support for legacy DIVX codecs. With the latest update all of my DIVX movies work. But the Cappy still runs laps over the Tab. A shame really. One step forward, two steps back.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] 5thElement:
You have to understand that Tegra 2 is a very old chip despite tablets just being released due to honeycomb delays.

All future tablet chipsets like the Tegra 3 and others will be able to decode any HD content without performance issues.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Sultan.MA:
Use Dice player, and u will see how all videos will played nice!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] foxbat121:
I won't count on that. The chipset used in Captivate is even older than Tegra 2. It's all about the drivers and matuality of the OS. HoneyComb just don't have much video codec support to be hornest. Tegra 1 chip in my Zune player plays 720p video better than Tegra 2 in my Tab. And there are 3rd party player app that can use Tegra 2 hardware acceleration to play videos that stock player can't. This is all software limitations in stock HC. Even when Tegra 3 comes out, HC as is will have the same limitation unless Google gets its act together.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] DustinDD:
I use dice player now, and my tab plays anything I throw at it. 1080p MKVs and avi files play awesome, even supports the multiple audio tracks and subtitles. No complaints here.

I personally don't need any more power in the tablet, it does everything I want it to do flawlessly.

Hello Everybody

Just got my T-Mobile G2X off eBay yesterday.

Fortunately the mobile phone appears to not have any software related issues.

I heard that, T-Mobile G2X has stereo speakers.

One of the rare feature not present in most of the mobile phones these days.

But, as of my thorough inspection, sound is coming from only one speaker.

Not from both, Is there any equalizer to change the speaker configuration ?

Or, would it be a hardware problem ?

Please suggest, i really wanted to hear sound from both of the speakers.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
It doesnt have stereo speakers unfortunately. One speaker and the other is a microphone.

Hi everyone,

Like some people on this forum, my phone's now under build 2.50.405.2 and I lost root. In order to re-root my device I saw that topic http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1155634 but didn't understood anything so I thought about downgradind, re-rooting and then stay under my last build. The only problem I now have is about saving my data. Without root, no Titanium Backup...

Do you know any way to backup my entire data (aps, game saves etc etc)? Or someone can explain me how to root my device without loosing anything?

[Hero, G2 Touch General] vito45:
My Hero come from service center clean and updated to latest RUU so i trying to get custom bootloader.

First i try to downgrade Hero to 2.73.405. But on my computer with Win7 fails with error 171. Then i tried on friend machine with Win XP and there i got error 140. I tried RUU from xda ftp and one from HTC and after this fails i tried other RUU from xda ftp. (i created and have gold card)

After that i try different approach. I rooted Hero using one click apk and then use latest flashrec. Flashrec gives me error "Flash FAILED: Could not run command."

After that i tray this:

C:\and\platform-tools>adb shell reboot bootloader
C:\and\platform-tools>fastboot boot rec.img

and i got this error

downloading 'boot.img'... FAILED (remote: not allow) finished. total time: 0.000s

if i try

C:\and\platform-tools>fastboot flash recovery rec.img
sending 'recovery' (3972 KB)... FAILED (remote: not allow) finished. total time: 0.000s

I maybe do i very very stupid thing and extracted flash_image from some Hero ROM and using cat put it in /system/bin/

I am desperate and i don’t know what to do next.

Hero:

3.36.405.1

HBOOT 1.76.0007 (HERO 1000)

Radio 6.35.15.11

Did you use goldcard to downgrade? AFAIK all bootloaders from 1.5 were locked down. Is error 140 mismatched. CID? If it is, you need a goldcard.

EDIT: just noticed you said you made a goldcard. Are you sure it stuck? Some sdcards aren't suitable for being a goldcard.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baz-L:
Hi, my gs2 is rooted with CF-Root, this is the FIRST time i have done all this as im new to Android. Last night i did a nandroid backup and a titanium backup, factory/cache wipe etc before i then flashed villainrom 2.4.2 for the first time with success and now my phone is obviously like it was out of the box but on villainrom, so all my apps, contacts etc have gone.

I have a few questions:

Whats the best way to restore everything and get my contacts and apps etc back? do i have to recover with nandroid or titanium?

whats the difference between these 2 backups i made, nan/titan?

also does recovering any of these backups affect the custom rom i just flashed? ideally i would like to know for when im flashing custom roms in the future, which is the best way to back things up then recover them after i have flashed a custom rom?

One last thing is can i still use samsung kies to backup/sync things like contacts/photos with a rooted gs2 running villainrom?

Sorry for these noob questions, any help is really appreciated! THX!

Sorry to post again but can anybody adivise me on the above?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mi3x:
A nand backup = backup your current setup, like an image (including ROM)

Titanum = backup apps +/ data

Now that you flashed a new rom, you should restore with Titanium your apps.

So - If you want to go back to your earlier ROM + everything, use your nand back up. If you want to stay on this ROM and have the apps back, use Titanium.

And once you flashed a custom rom, you can't use Kies anymore to update/back up etc.

Cheers

My experience with eh06 has been great so far. Mabe try reflashing the rom,or just the modem and see if it makes a difference. I beielve you can try whatever modem you want on here. (Ec05, ef02, eg22) Just flash it through odin. Make sure you nandroid first though just in case.

From cellblock D

Flash whatever modem you like.

In Odin > Options > Only check "Auto Reboot"

Under "files [Download]" > check "Phone" box > select xxxx.bin (modem version)

Start.
[Epic 4G General] MajicManDroid:
I've been running that rom since Friday night 8/19 with no issues at all. Try re-flashing the modem and/or the entire package. I've always heard that gingerbread needs an updated radio so I'd be hesitant to use an older baseband.

Also from lurking around I've seen people say that Gingerbread organizes the data partition a little different than Froyo. So try not restoring and instead reinstall your apps.
