[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MadJoe:
Someone in the General apps forum uploaded what they claim is version 3.1.6. I pushed it into system/app and over wrote vending.apk but I still have version 3.1.5. Others are reporting success, though. Saying it looks a little more polished.

Edit: Removed link due to suspicious nature of this "update". Search it out and install it on your own, but I've restored my nandroid backup and am done with it until more is known about it.

Sent from my rough sketch of a Vibrant on a brick.

hey guys

i was using project rom v2.2 and i liked the htc lock screen without the shortcuts and i wanted to go back to evononsense 3d v1.3.2 but i wanted to add the lockscreen to it so i used root explorer and i copied the lock screen apk from system/app from project rom to my sd card then i flashed evononsense 3d rom and again used root explorer to move the lockscreen apk file to system/app folder and i set the permissions for it just like the other system apps and i rebooted my phone ....the phone rebooted but all i got is an empty homescreen with no lockscreen at all and i cant do anything with my phone so can u guys help me and tell me how to add the htc lock screen to evononsense v1.3.2 ?

thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] hockeyfamily737:
You need more then just the lockscreen. I believe you also need fusion and possibly more depending on which HTC lockscreen you want to use. Also to install system apps you need to push them via adb / terminal emulator or make them flashable from recovery.
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
all the apps (other than fusion) start with "idlescreen" - and you can for sure move w/root explorer change perms and reboot for /system apps, I do it all the time.

@OP - I would say try to find on of the "senseless" ROMs (there's a bunch) which has a flashable zip to get back the 3.0 lockscreen. Since all these ROMs are on sense framework and deodexed, any of them should work. Good luck.
[HTC EVO 3D] raed81:
I just found two apps in the market ...ripple lock which is honeycomb style lock screen and agile lock which is 3.0 lock screen

If you are using CM7, have you checked whether you are using the correct keyboard layout? Settings->CyanogenMod settings->Input->Keyboard layout ?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kenchinito:
So, I just played with a friend's SGS 2 and when i looked into his App Manager, it would say he had 500-600 MB of free ram. Now, no matter how much I wipe or how many processes I kill, I cannot go over 450MB from the "1 GB" we are supposed to have.

I thought It was android reserving some RAM for himself but with this comparison it doesn't make sense anymore. Any recommendation on this? Might be because we have webtop running on background and SGS doesn't?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Swiftks:
I usually have between 500 - 600 mb of RAM available... all depends on how many apps & process you have running.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live4nyy:
Webtop does not run unless it is being used. As far as the difference in usage, I think Motoblur just uses more resources. I use Bloat Freezer and i can get up to 600MB free like when I reboot but then processes start up and it goes to about 500MB. Then I'll use it for awhile and it will get down to 200 to 300MB but never any less than 200
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kenchinito:
I don't have that many applications installed. And even so, the installed applications shouldn't be taking up RAM unless i run them, right?

I just did a restart and checked the RAM and it was just at 471 MB. I might mention that I'm using Go Launcher and the stock launcher is running also, because if I freeze it with Root Uninstaller, the calendar widget won't work.

Any guide on how to optimize RAM usage or what bloat should i freeze/uninstall?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alcapone263:
using CM7, have around 400MB free out of 820 or so at any given point in time.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phoneguy589:
879mb of ram doesn't = 1gig. I would like to have that extra 120mb in free ram. instead of 600, 720 free. When I go into "About Phone" it used to say the current amount out of 879 but now it seems I've lost 100mb of ram. I've wiped/flashed/rebooted countless times to no avail. Even used Aura deblurred and CM7 with almost the same results.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kenchinito:
On my phone it shows 471/816. Yes, would have loved to have that extra 208 MB of ram... But still Swiftks, could we have some info on your mods/apps? 600 MB of free ram is a LOT compared to what we have.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phoneguy589:
I have used ROMs that showed 575-620mb free but usually after rebooting. I'd say most ROMs will run from 400-500 free. But if you could, look on your phone under running apps and add up your used and free ram and post back.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live4nyy:
I've heard that Go Launcher is a resource hog. Might want to try it without that just to see if there is any difference.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live4nyy:
There's a huge misconception about how much RAM should be free at any given time. Honestly, the less RAM being used is actually better. That means processes are cued up for multitasking and it uses less resources to start them back up when used. Also, if you have any RAM left then that means you don't need any more because the phone will only use what it needs so if you have like 100MB of Ram available then that means you don't need it, but if you were at like 10 to 20MB free then I'd worry. But most people say they have like 200 available so there really is no reason to worry/complain. Plus, it's better for the battery to have the processes stored in RAM because it takes more energy to start an app back up then to keep it idle.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live4nyy:
Here is a good article that explains much better how android works in regards to processes:

http://geekfor.me/faq/you-shouldnt-be-using-a-task-killer-with-android/

The "Addendum" at the end lays it out pretty bluntly
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phoneguy589:
If I add up the mb's of apps running right now it's less than 90mb but its showing 190mb is being used. That is including the media/motorola/stock junk on a fresh install of ninja. I haven't even opened market or added my google account yet.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kenchinito:
I understand your point, but it makes me wonder... Devices like SGS 1 for example, only have 512 MB ram. Based on how the Atrix and Galaxy S2 are said to have 1GB but in reality it only has 800ish MB, the SGS 1 will also have 400+.

Now, my atrix goes from boot to a usable state leaving me ONLY 471 MB of free ram, taking up 380+ (rounding numbers of course). Since the SGS 1 also runs on Android 2.3, the same thing should happen right? taking up 380MB out of it's 400+ MB of ram, leaving only 50 (rounding again) MB of RAM? Highly unlikely, if that was the case, only opening up the browser would take up those 50 "free" RAM.

I don't have a SGS with me to corroborate this theory but I'd bet the SGS starts up to a usuable state with 100-150 of free ram, using up only 250-300 MB of ram, why can't we pull that off from our devices?

It's not that I'm not against using the RAM on our devices, but only comparing how much RAM my device is using I can tell whether it's running efficiently or it has a resource Hog somewhere.

your phone is like a fat kid with a birthday cake. he's always going to take a few extra slices for himself and not share with anyone.

(system taking RAM and not sharing with any other processes)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live4nyy:
I think it has to do with Motoblur using up more resources. It is so integrated into accounts and everything that it can't help but take up a bunch of RAM which is why they probably went with 1GB of RAM to begin with, they probably couldn't pull it off with just 512
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kenchinito:
So deblur is the way?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live4nyy:

great, thanks. Why do you use two freezers?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live4nyy:
I don't, I just use Bloat Freezer. I was just pointing out that TiBu does it as well if you happened to have the paid version (which I don't). :)

Just remember if you ever do an update, flash another ROM or make any changes whatsoever to the system that you defrost them all first. I don't know exactly what causes issues at times but better safe than sorry. :)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilhaiti:
I believe that is correct, there is some RAM allocated for the GPU and also the Webtop (whether you use it or not). Don't get caught up in numbers though, with this much RAM and Android's memory management system, it should be extremely rare for us to "run out" of RAM on our phones. I've literally paused games, (Need for Speed) and used my phone as normal (calls, texts, email, FB, Twitter) with out any slowdowns and then went back to the game and continued like nothing happened.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phalanx7621:
Well keep in mind that when flashing a new ROM we should all be erasing everything on the phone before flashing. Which would make unfreezing those appear irrelevant since they'd be erased and replaced. But I get yer point. For those who want to update with an OTA in the future yes they would want to unfreeze / flash back to stock or OTA won't work yup.

Edit:forgot something
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live4nyy:
It's just a good habit to get into. Like doing backups, wiping data and charging battery before flashing, things of that nature. :)

Hi all,

Is there any way to download the entire map cache for lets say the uk? (its were i live so why not :) )

Is there a way to procure the entire tile cache?

Thanks.

I live in the states and figured I should download the entire state I live in, bit by bit.

I got an email saying I was eligible to download a new beta version of swype before its release. It said since I'm currently using swype beta 3.6, I get to try out the newest version. I tried downloading it and it wouldn't do it at all. Anyone else get this email, and also able to actually download it?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenKranged:
I had to uninstall swype and swype installer and get the new swype installer (the email should have a link) to get it to install 3.25
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cdub5:
Yeah, it said if I already had swype installer, which I do, to just uninstall my version of swype and use installer to update. I'll try what you said, to uninstall swype installer. Thanks for the tip. Btw, how is the new swype? Worth it?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenKranged:
Its the same as 3.6 but they fixed the "jumpy" cursor issue when you try to put it in the middle of a word. Its also supposed to have improved copy and paste but I haven't used it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] capocaccia:
I ran into issues with the install as well until i followed the same process you describe.

Well worth it in my opinion. The copy and paste is a great improvement and really well done. Also you can manage your own personal dictionary which is really nice.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Wait...3.25 is AFTER 3.6? :confused:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cdub5:
I had the same thought. Guess the swype team doesn't know how to count. Couldn't live without it though, so we'll let it slide
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polstein:
A lot of devs do it. 25 comes after 6 :)

Think of it as 3.06 vs 3.25. Some programs don't let you put in the leading 0, so not much ado about it.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] msnyder:
Are there any ROM's available thru rom manager for the Infuse 4G:mad:
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
No, and don't expect many to ever be there. ROM Manager's faulty CWM has caused so many problems that the recommended installation method for all ROMs here (and in fact currently the ONLY method) is a manual download followed by flashing with CWM, and it will likely stay that way. gtg465x is the only dev who made the mistake of putting his ROMs up on ROM Manager and it caused no end of stress and frustration for him due to all of the people who misflashed.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] msnyder:
I'm a long time iphoner jailbreaker. I have read and read. I have probably been on ths forum more in the last 2 months than any other member and I'll stand behind that comment. Can you post a thread that explains this in detail lol. I'm old. I had 1.53 then went to 2.03 but I couldn't make a call so I'm back stock rooted.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Right now, if you look through the dev forum:

Three Froyo ROMs - Infused v1.x, Refuse, Bionix Infinity. All three are good solid high-quality ROMs. These all have HDMI support and solid data performance on AT&T.

One complete Gingerbread ROM - Infused v2.x - As you may be able to tell, since this is based on a Canadian firmware release it has... issues in terms of data performance on AT&T. It's been tough to find a good configuration that works in all AT&T areas - things that fix the situation for some users completely break others. I'm seriously beginning to think that until AT&T releases Gingerbread we should go with the original RIL and APN combo - they didn't achieve "awesome" performance for anyone but they also didn't achieve "broken" performance for anyone.

There is also the brand new Hellraiser package, which lets you flash i9000 ROMs. There are a few known issues (the first call you make or receive after installation has no audio but it works OK after that) but it's overall working fairly well.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] msnyder:
Is there a thread that can explain this in detail.I'm back to 1.53 but don't feel comfortable with the procedure. I just want to learn. Not trying to be a noob.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Most ROMs have installation instructions. I suggest you read most of the first posts of ROM release threads, then read up on rooting techniques (SuperOneClick is the most common), then google ClockworkMod, then google Android ADB.
