Hey guys i just wanna know if a custom rom for our X8 can go lighter than 80Mbs..

I had 111mb free ram with stable 2.2 rom by lizypen
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patriciocs:
I am just curious.. why there are so many asking for ROMS with more free RAM? Why do you want to have always lots of free RAM?

You should be worried about how to better use your RAM than be worried about not using it.

It is really strange but I never saw something like this when people are always askin for more free RAM just to never use it.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CutestDevil:
Nothing beats Stock Rom .. however one can use task killers app to free up some ram though..
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dotsen9:
We need free ram for smoothness, anyway,i can.t. ask for more,the newer version of rom,the less ram we will have.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patriciocs:
That is not necessary true. Less free RAM not always implies slugginesh. android is based on Linux, and Linux have a RAM administration model wich tries to always use the free RAM. Per example if you load all your aplications ans system and you have 100MB RAM free then android will try to use that memory for fetching app data, increase storage cache, etc. All this to do a smart usage of the available resources... think a little, why do you want to have extra RAM just to leave it unused?

If an application needs more RAM then android will free the necessary ammount of RAM, unloading fetch and cache data and preloaded apps.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dotsen9:
Well it's true,but why devs has created supercharger script or let's take the juwe's script.This got to be a reason for that.

er guys.. i'm asking about the size of the ROM itself.. there's nothing about RAM here...
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doixanh:
Well, it's easy to make a smaller ROM. Most ROMs nowadays include several extra apps (Google Apps, Keyboard, Calculator, etc...) for many user.

Just delete all Google Apps (Maps, street view, ...) and other unused apps, you will have a lighter one.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zj89:
i've deleted many unused apps from the rom.. i managed to lower it to 85mbs.. x8 doesn't have much in terms of internal mem.. but i gues thats what app2sd is for.. is it recommended to store my apps in sd card instead?

[Galaxy S II General] juicyfruitwow:
This might be a relatively small problem but it can be a little annoying. The back button (right side of the menu button) seems to be a little less responsive and 'smaller' than the options button (left side of the menu button).

By smaller I mean I need to click it exactly at the right spot and the button reponsive 'area' seems to be very small compare to option button which seems to take up most of the left side allocated to it.

I am not sure if this is intented or some kind of software/hardware fault?

I read about upgrading touchpad firmware through *#*#2663#*#* but there are reports than this could brake the buttons completly.

If anyone has any information it will be greatly appreciated.

P.S phone is not rooted and I bought it from vodafone Ireland.

[Galaxy S II General] juicyfruitwow:

[Galaxy S II General] androidkid311:
I thought it was just me with the double tap when i press it once lol. Grrr its annoying man! :-@
[Galaxy S II General] juicyfruitwow:
So the only way to fix it is to replace it? :(
[Galaxy S II General] nomnompie:
I would imagine someone can make a mod to the touchkeys for like a certain millisecond delay between presses to fix the double tap. People have patched hardware keyboards for stuff similar to that.

As far as the non-registering presses, that might have something to do with delay too. A smart developer would have to try and look at it though I'm just guessing here.

I haven't noticed the non-registered presses in a while, not sure if it went away with a new kernel or if I just got used to how to press it to make it work. The double tap happens more often to me now lol.

Galaxy S2 back button getting pressed twice on a single press.

When I am in 2nd/3rd level screen of an app, back and menu button lights go off(but screen is on). While pressing back button sometimes it's going back 2 levels with one, single press! As if I have pressed it twice. It doesn't happen always though.

Is there any fix for this?

You probobly fried your EMMC chip when you removed your battery.

it would be best to return it in for repair.

[HTC Desire S] sHAKaJaada:
It was s-off before? Can you boot 2 recovery?
[HTC Desire S] chris5s:
It's unlikely your chip is fried. This happened to my phone. You need to get into recovery - restart holding volume down button - and reflash a ROM, any one should do. The phone should reboot from there.

Edit: thus assumes you have a ROM stored on your phone, and you have Clockwork recovery or similar. If not, you can use adb to push a ROM to your card and reflash that. Adb comes with Android Developer Kit. Search!

Peace.

Same problem as topic poster, i,ve been messing a lot with custom roms on win 6.5 phones, but I havn´t done anything fancy on my Desire S , as to rooting or custom roms. (work phone!) Now I´m just curious as how I get a recovery going, when the PC doesent recognice the device when USB connected.

The eng-off file (mine is ON) with the .bat file cant connect to phone, and maybe im better off sending it to repair, but my pride wants me to solve it myself.

-Damn phone just went AWOL last night after an marked Angry Birds update, rebooted it a couple of times, because of a lot of process errors, and then all dead. (white HTC screen on -until morning)

Have the latest FOTA (DK, Nordic)

ROM: SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL

Hboot: 0,98.0002

Radio: 3805.06.02.03_M

Are there any ninja tricks or is it just a "bite down", send in?

/Psudo
[HTC Desire S] chris5s:
Maybe best sending it in if that's a viable option.

You say it's not rooted? With stock ROM? If there is a ROM on the sdcard that you can boot then try that - power + volume up + volume down will reboot the phone, try pressing volume down as it reboots to get into recovery.

If you can't (by pressing volume down) then power off and restart (holding volume down). I had to do a battery pull to power off - if you do this while the phone is off as it reboots, and leave it out for 30 secs you should avoid any danger of bricking the phone (which has happened with some people when removing battery while phone is in this state).

Good luck!

Peace
[HTC Desire S] psudo:
"ROM on SDcard": what format would that be in? RUU.exe or?

I can get into recovery menu (HBOOT) but chosing recovery option results in "a green recycle icon with an arrow on black background" screen, a few seconds then it virbrates 6-8 times, and then fades to black, so to speak!

Factory reset option: Locks the HBOOT screen and nothing but a battery pull, will change that.

I MAY have pulled the battery and not left it out for the 30 sec bricking danger senario, that I wasn´t aware of, until resently.

So the diag. is that is probably bricked!

Thanks for the reply

/Psudo
[HTC Desire S] chris5s:
Rom on sdcard would have to be *.zip to be flashable. If you're unrooted + stock then you won't have Clockwork recovery or similar.

Tough that factory reset doesn't give any joy. These devices..... :rolleyes:

surprisingly i got the same issue yesterday after i installed proxuser's official htc rom.

[Focus General] andreiuc:
Hello,

I just got a Focus v.1.3 unlocked from AT&T.

I am living in Europe and my carrier is Vodafone.

It's unclear to me how updates work.

I currently have updated the phone to 7390 using Zune desktop app.

However no sign on the 7392, I've been checking about that.

I know that updates are delivered by the carrier and that AT&T doesn't deliver yet the 7392 update for Focus v.1.3

But, in the case of using the phone by Zune, shouldn't the updates be available?

Thanks in advance!
[Focus General] andreiuc:
Anyone throw some thoughts?

Thanks
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
HKLM\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo\MobileOperator

Edit it and instead of "ATT-US" (original value) leave blank

You will get an update. I did and I have Focus v1.3, originally on AT&T.

After that update you can revert back to the original value.

Also, read my post here.
[Focus General] andreiuc:
Thanks for your comment EnderPsp.

But I don't get it really.

Since you update by Zune, why isn't the phone getting the updates?

This what I don't understand.
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
Either take my word on it and do the suggested change in registry (you need to be unlocked for this) or wait until the carrier (AT&T) releases the update. Considering the nice timeframe they haven't yet, I'd say there is a good chance Mango will come directly before AT&T releases 7392 for v1.3

The phone isn't getting the update because the carrier has not relased it (for Focus v1.3). However, Microsoft has released it for all other unbranded phones and if you unbrand (modify the registry as I suggested), the phone will get the Microsoft update instead of AT&T update. There are two minor differences in AT&T/MS updates but the main bonus is you can update to Mango.

Btw, you don't need to say thanks, just hit the "Thanks" button :)
[Focus General] andreiuc:
OK, let me get this straight.

So Zune is a desktop app written by Microsoft that talks to a phone with an OS written by Microsoft but Zune gets updates from AT&T ?

Why the heck do they do that?

OS updates doesn't have to do with the carrier.

I mean, it's not like if you have a AT&T branded phone you also have a branded WP7.

Why are the updates coming from AT&T anyway?

Why isn't the phone getting updates from Microsoft?

Please enlighten me!
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
Partly correct.

Zune is an app that is an intermediary between the cloud and the WP7 phone. Imagine it like a supermarket.

Now, the updates are coming initially from MS but carriers are responsible for their phone's update, service, warranty, quality etc. So they will be the ones actually releasing the update IF the phone is branded by them. This is done to avoid possible issues (any customer service the carrier need to do it even if it's a potential OS problem). Otherwise the general update from MS applies for unbranded phones (ie prepay, free phones etc). The carriers even modify sometimes the update to include specific features. But this also means more QA time...

The carriers know which one is their phone because Zune reports the IMEI and then MS redirects the phone to the carrier corresponding to that phone's IMEI.
[Focus General] andreiuc:
So carriers are doing QA job on how a specific phone work with OS?

It's pretty weird that carriers do more then just provide phone services(call, data, etc).

The fact that carriers are modifying the OS update is completely idiotic from my point of view.

They should not mess with OS at all.

I pretty sure that actually they are using some tools provided my Microsoft.

So it's even more idiotic.

I know that carriers have specific apps, but these should be just apps like any other apps.

I don't understand how Microsoft, which is very late anyway at the smart phone party, likes this situation.
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
The carriers usually alter this not for their customer's benefit but their own :) MS provides guidelines and help on how to do the alteration and how to QA. Personally, I don't think MS likes it, but allows it. Pretty much the same as other phone manufacturers.

Also, personally I don't like this carrier update fiasco either, and I agree with you. But, carriers are the ones selling the phone so, MS had to cut a deal somewhere to penetrate the market. :cool:
[Focus General] andreiuc:
I guess the next thing for Microsoft would be to buy or have some kind of strategic partnership with a carrier. :D

That would be new :D But it's highly unlikely it will happen.
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
I don't know if that will happen, considering iOS, Android and RIM :)

If they do it, they would do it in US, but no carrier would accept losing money and customers by signing exclusivity.

However, MS do have strategic partnerships with all major phone manufacturers: Samsung, HTC, LG, Nokia etc. THAT will help ;)
[Focus General] andreiuc:
Sometime in the future, as hardware advances, phone calls will be carried only over internet.

So these idiotic issues might stop.

And stupid carriers reign will end!
[Focus General] andreiuc:
EnderPsp, why should I put back the original value anyway?
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
So you can get the NoDo update after 7392, also, otherwise you might not get some updates in Zune. If you get the update when unbranded, better! :)

That's how it worked before Mango. Not sure now, but if you're getting the updates unbranded, don't bother putting it back.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phil_HTC:
it is possible, i have the same problem...but ideally you should use a special tool to seperate the digitiser (the actual touchscreen bit) from the glass.

and you'll risk breaking your working touchscreen if it goes wrong..

if the screen functions and the crack isn't that big...and if you can't afford to go the whole way and replace the lot....i wouldn't bother (i'm not and i have a huge spider like crack all over my phone.)
