[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sir_Phoenix:
Rooted EVO 4.53 exists

I found this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1238959

Thanks to NinjaWolf, I now have a working version of 4.53.651.1 on my newly rooted EVO. I rooted using revolutionary after the 2.3.3 update. Wifi, GPS, and 4G are all working. A TON of bloatware has been taken out, or so it would appear. :)

I flashed it using the latest version of ROM Manager running the latest version of CWM.

My wife updated to 4.53.651.1 before I rooted her (I said rooted her). Revolutionary worked just fine. Seems that HBOOT is still on version 2.16 after OTA

Good, I had to get a refurbished EVO, and was hoping it'd still work.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerryth:
Is there any possible solution to enable 3G on 900MHz for AT&T Atrix? As I check its spec, it's available only 850 / 1900 but my cellphone provide is 900 MHz. Please suggest and thank you in advance
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilhaiti:
Short answer...no. You can't change the radios frequency.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pukemon:
No. You should get a phone with 900 mhz radio.

I voided my warranty.

[Motorola Triumph] Ricksta:
I would really like to have a motoblur(strange, I know) theme for my triumph. There is a great mod over at android central, but it doesn't theme the entire launcher. Can I try a custom launcher and make it look like Motoblur? Instructions?

Thanks! :)

(would post a link but it won't let me, dang it!):mad:
[Motorola Triumph] P-Men:
Hey, man.

Have you tried HeLauncher? It's free on the Android Market.

It includes different launcher styles, including a MotoBlur clone.

I see I'm not the only one that wanted the Triumph to come with MotoBlur pre-installed.
[Motorola Triumph] Ricksta:
Thanks a million, I downloaded it and it works great! also, check android central for a framework mod that also helps to blur ify the phone... couple that with "Drooid" everyone thinks its a droid... LOL thanks again!
[Motorola Triumph] yellowsno12:
Are you running 2.3 on your device or is that a theme on the status bar?
[Motorola Triumph] primetechv2:
That there is just a screenshot, probably straight from the Android Marketplace. Although it's a good indicator of how the launcher looks (pretty much just three buttons).

Also of note: HeLauncher 2 costs money yet disappointed me. The Sense UI themes were redone as to look LESS Sense-like, and that's about all I noticed difference. Rats.

Hi All,

I edited the original GingerReal boot animation (BA) to fit in our Samgung Galaxy Ace because the original form of BA was for SGS which appears little bigger in SGA (obviously due to different resolution).

How to install: (Not flashable)

Download <===== the attached zip file (don't change the name)

Use Root explorer or same kind of tool.

Copy the boot animation from SD card and paste it to system/media folder (please don't forget to unmount by pressing r/w)

Reboot

Credits:

Thanks to despotovski01 for helping me with compression issue.

Thanks to redmaner for adding this in GingerReal KPO 1.2.0 Version
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] Lijop:
Will it work on ddkq5 and will it work on stock rom ?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] Diliban:
This will work on all custom roms. But not sure about stock roms....
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] oMss:
I have sangingerace, it will work on it? Thx.

It does work, but, it was slow to appear and i get a black screen when booted completely.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] Diliban:
Weird... I used this BA on all versions. I still use this BA in my CM7 also which works flawlessly
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] ivansb89:
any screenshots of the Boot Animation?

Thanks

First of all, hi folks and sorry for bad english !

My name is Lucas and i'm Brazillian. Actually I don't have an international credit card so i can not publish my apps on Market. I'll start publishing here, if there is no problem.

PartyDroid

It is a simple strobe light, it explains itself. In Market there are tons of strobe apps, but no one is simple like this - just open it and strobe starts.

Features:

- Run in full screen;

- Up screen bright to max when open, and undo when close;

- REAL close when you exit, even with HOME button. So will not eat your RAM or CPU;

- Start blinking when open, do not need to press a button or configure;

- You can control the blink speed, 30~333ms;

OBS:

- Fast strobe lights can hurt, be careful;

- It will drain your battery, obviously;

Is anyone able to connect to internet using barnacle wifi on your phone. My thrive doesn't see the connection. It can find the connection to the paid tether but not barnacle.
[Thrive Themes and Apps] steven7590:
Barnacle won't work without rooting your thrive. Google wifi tether download and look for the latest beta. It did the trick for me.

[Thrive Themes and Apps] dalepl:
Barnacle uses ad-hoc which is not native to the Thrive. If you root the device, there is a patch for ad-hoc support.
[Thrive Themes and Apps] emarlatt:
tether wifi

There are two options here root your thrive and install the new wpa file or get your rooted phone to run in ap mode instead of adhoc mode. wif tether is now running ap mode if you have the right kernal and hardware to use it
[HTC Sensation] BrokenWall:
This thread was created to try to consolidate all the issues from Faux123's thread, since he started looking into the information I will quote some of his posts here.

I am trying to get to the bottom of this issue and see if we can get this resolved so we can get proper kernel support. Since currently Kernels that are available only appear to affect one CPU and its governor.

Below is a list of commands you can run from ADB and report the issue

(make sure to include the ROM, Kernel, and command output)

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_governor

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/online
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online

----------------------------------------------------------------------

So here are some to the posts between me and Faux123 about the issue with further detail.

==================

Quote from Fuax123 after he looked into the issue.

And the final note:

So this is a thread to bring attention to all developers so we can try to get to the bottom of this. The reason is that I see people on the forums talking about benchmarks and this and that.

Goals is to see if we can get the second core to stay on. if not, see if we can at least get the second core to abide by the OC and Governor settings.

As of right now the best kernel to use is the HTC Stock kernel, since it uses Ondemand by default for both cores. Other governors haven't been patch for proper aSMP support.

you can see the performance possible in the following post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16976335&postcount=28​

This is very interesting reading!

You might be also interested in one entry in ramdisk init.pyramid.rc

[HTC Sensation] BrokenWall:
Is this an option we can set outside of the RAMdisk and reboot? via ADB or terminal emulator?
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
No, you need to change it in ramdisk and flash the whole boot.img otherwise if you remove --single_core_while_panel_off it will be back after reboot.

BTW --single_core_while_panel_off was added in the latest 1.45 update, in 1.35 it was only:

service mpdecision /system/bin/mpdecision --no_sleep --avg_comp

[HTC Sensation] BrokenWall:
The problem that I have found on both 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 is that CPU1 turns off while idle at homescreen, not unless an application can stress both cores or the load gets heavy enough does CPU1 wake.

CF-Bench will bring CPU1 alive at the start of the bench and even register two cores, where the crappy Quadrant will only notice 1 core and will not always wake the second core.

And I noticed this problem with Faux123 Kernel, Unity Kernels (both 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 versions), and there was a third kernel that was affected. I am going to start checking other kernels. But it appears that all kernels based on HTC Source are setup this way and its over looked.

If someone could try building a test kernel with the listed changes it would be appreciated and I would be willing to test it and report the changes in this thread.
[HTC Sensation] 92drls:
This is very interesting. I think with some research and a resolution this could greatly increase performance of the cpu and the battery. With both cores dividing the stress when needed and then only using one core while in idle or screen off could greatly improve battery life. I have a desk job and am always bored and testing things on my phone so I will be glad to test and return with any info I find. I'm subscribed.
[HTC Sensation] FiddleGoose:
I am so excited to see this issue get resolved cause I also noticed how CPU1 turns off all the time and it irritates me.

I'm a power user, so regardless of battery life I just want both my CPUs to always stay on at max freq.
[HTC Sensation] FiddleGoose:
I'm glad you put your attention to this immediately Mike. Cause your ROM is already amazing anyway and I can't wait to see it work with new kernels using better dual-core support.
[HTC Sensation] jlevy73:
@ OP: I agree the best kernel is the stock one, unfortunately the 2.3.4 stock kernel has a major bug that screws up 3D gaming. So if one wants to play games, you need to use a custom kernel otherwise you will notice horrid graphic rendering (i.e. Cordy)
[HTC Sensation] Cayniarb:
Like faux123 noted, ive been doing a lot to rewrite and clean up the acpuclock-8x60.c file -- the frequency/voltage tables in particular, but really large pieces of it as well. There are some interesting items in there and nearby (mach-msm .h files) that may prove helpful here -- can't think of them off the top of my head and im not able to look right now, but this is *definitely* something i want to help resolve.

Qualcomm was always up front (e.i. liked to brag) about theirs being the first (and currently only) asynchronous dual-core chip for ARM. I've kinda been afraid that this was the issue all along and really just tried avoiding looking for it...

Intel and AMD chips are all (or i think all) asynchronous, so there should be no shortage of code to look at for this (granted, not *exactly* what we want, but thats the fun, right?).

Please come find me on IRC and get me off my a$$ to work on this.
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
I am so super busy currently with my real work, I haven't looked at it since my last conversation with brokenwall. I have a new scheme of overclocking which is completely different from the current scheme and it is actually a lot simpler. I was burned out by XDA last weekend and still suffering the effects of it. I finally fixed the FAIL source issue from LG G2x's recent GB source release so my G2x users finally have a stable OC/UV kernel for their stock GB ROM.

Sensation is next in line for me to spend my time on... Don't rush me or ask me when it will be done because I don't know it myself. I have the new scheme pretty much mapped out in my head already, I just need to code it and test it. Again, when I need beta testers, I will ask for them, but until them I don't need volunteers yet.... :p
[HTC Sensation] BrokenWall:
In no way was this setup to rush you, I just didn't feel right pointing everyone to your thread for reference. So I felt we needed a single thread for this issue. Now we have a place where multiple devs can share the ideas and where people like myself can test and report back.
[HTC Sensation] xtcislove:
Thanks for this info! So its bad to use smartass like insert coin do it? Very interesting thread I hope we can fix that

This is awesome to see! I really want to keep my sensation and was getting pretty frustrated with it. It's always good to see real collaboration in action. Thanks guys for all you do! I know TDJ was messing with this stuff too and we (him hacking/coding and me flashing and testing since he doesn't have this device) were testing out a few different iterations of the stock kernel with smartass etc. This has been a good read. Wish I could help in any other way besides offering up my device for your testing pleasure, but alas i am no dev just a power user haha.Thanks again folks

Thanks Faux, we're in good hands with you.
[HTC Sensation] rawrfische:
Wow. After actually running the cat commands, what you guys are saying finally makes sense to my non-coding brain. BrokenWall, I know you met some resistance in some of the dev threads on this issue, but just know that those of us who understand really appreciate that you're trying to spread the awareness.

Faux, Cayniarb and all of the devs who spend their spare time looking into stuff like this, thank you. We place our devices in your capable hands. :)
[HTC Sensation] ianken:
Lol. You can do nothing faster than anyone!
[HTC Sensation] jerrylzy:
Great news..

And,

When playing games,sometimes i felt laggy,so is it dual core when playing games?
[HTC Sensation] vabeach454:
No rush faux... Take your time. We all know how busy you are and are Greatful you have plans in store for the Sensation. :D

I still run your BFS LV Kernal in my MT4G and it is fast as hell!! It will beet the sensation in Quadrant runs hands down every time. it will be nice to have both Cores OC/UV, but there is no need to rush, it will come soon enough.

Thanks for all you do for us faux, we appreciate it. ;)
[HTC Sensation] BrokenWall:
UPDATE

I was given a test kernel for 2.3.3 roms and got CPU0 and CPU1 to both run successfully through multiple benchmarks at 1890Mhz, scores were very nice and to give you an idea. Linpack Multithreaded scored a 97

Great news. I knew oc'ing was pointless this entire time since i remember reading somewhere else about both cores not properly running/oc'ing. Glad we will soon hopefully feel the true dual core this device holds.
[HTC Sensation] dlads:
Good to know someone with knowledge is looking into this, what a load of crap man.

So am i right in thinking that the phone as stock (out of the box) will not use both cores together for all tasks?

I think i'm right i just wanted clarification. :)

Cheers.
[HTC Sensation] Evil-Dragon:
That's right unless the load demands the 2nd cpu. Sucks really, thank the geniuses at HTC for that one.
[HTC Sensation] bonesy:
HTC Actually had a good idea in the terms of useability.Obviouslynot for ppl like us who want to overclock the crap out of our devices but the general end user would benefit more from the 2nd core kicking in when its needed.We only want both for Bench's and maximum pleasure from our phones, Most people just get it on an upgrade and dont do a thing to it!

I hate seeing an android device totally stock :'(
[HTC Sensation] durps:
Awesomeee. Does this mean soon enough you'll be able to release something so we could all be able to enjoy both cores?
[HTC Sensation] mexxxico:
Great news :)

but... ...peopleeee leave the dev thread clear that developers can interact here and not via PM.

We will all see the progress.

P.S.

Instead of written thanks, use thanks button :)
[HTC Sensation] BrokenWall:
Screenshots!!

Ok so you guys and gals can get excited and look forward to the progress some of the Devs have made. Make sure you thank Cayniarb and morfic for the progress they have made on this.

As I have been informed the test kernel I am running is only working on 2.3.3 but the modifications should be easy to move over to 2.3.4, and this kernel is basically stock except for the overclock settings and the fixes that were made. This kernel is saving information as far as clocks go after CPU1 goes to sleep, and restoring them after it wakes up. This is good because the CPU1 can still sleep to save power but will still obey the min and max set clocks set by setCPU. Though the governor is not applying and the only one worth using at the moment is ondemand.

Ok now to the good stuff.

as you can see both CPUs under load are reporting the max freq of 1890Mhz

Now Quadrant is a **** benchmark anyways, but I only ran it because some people like seeing it. Also it only properly detects 1 core, while the other core is running, it doesn't seem to affect the score.

Now where you want to note the actual improvement in performance so far is CF-Bench pulling almost a 14k score overall, and Linpack with a impressive 105
[HTC Sensation] D4rk0:
If somebody make 2.3.4 kernel version i'm happy to try it ;)
[HTC Sensation] dlads:
The battery will be based on the premise that only one core will be running for pretty much all mundane everyday tasks so when we get the cores working together in tandem isn't the battery going to die really quickly? I imagine HTC / qualcomm thought about this prior to release.
[HTC Sensation] BrokenWall:
What we would like to fix is the fact that CPU1 does not get the governor and clock settings that are applied to CPU0.

CPU1 is free to idle when not in use, since this saves battery. With the test kernel I ran the tests on CPU1 would idle when the screen was off and when not in use, but as soon as a load was high enough it would turn on and use the proper clock settings.
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
So there must be tunable setting which set some value after which cpu1 is becoming active. Something similar to up_threshold I think.
[HTC Sensation] Cayniarb:
I have to assume there is some such value, but I haven't found it yet. You can easily force cpu1 to come online with: echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
[HTC Sensation] dlads:
If it can be turned on like that then it can be tweaked, changing the threshold on the first core (the time when the second kicks in) to something a lot lower seems like the only logical way to do it permanently so both are used in sync.

Can anything be learnt from the other dual core phones?
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Correct but its gone after screen off/on.
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
We can change up_threshold for cpu0 to 30 but the question is about battery life then...
[HTC Sensation] dlads:
That was my initial worry, maybe the way forward is to just allow it to kick in a little earlier, at least that way there would be an improvement a lot sooner rather than waiting for the first core to be completely stressed.

Is there a way to govern the cores actively ? Without interaction? So it could be kept in check and hopefully not munch the battery or is that asking a lot do you think?
[HTC Sensation] Bluewall:
I'm not a dev at all, but i must say that i'm very impressed of your work.

I'm also very interessted to follow this story and i wanted to say a BIG THANKS to you, thank's for all the work put in this research ;)

Really for OT btw.
[HTC Sensation] BrokenWall:
lol well i guess thats a work around.

Right now our test kernel is restoring the proper min/max clock settings after restore from idle, but only works on the ondemand governor
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Can you tell me default frequencies? What is above 384000 ?
[HTC Sensation] BrokenWall:
look at the cpu table listed here:

192000
384000
432000
486000
540000
594000
648000
702000
756000
810000
864000
918000
972000
1026000
1080000
1134000
1188000

I believe these are the default, though I have only seen 192, 384, 972, 1188 during my testing on the stock kernel.
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Yeah, this looks like custom kernel table to me...
[HTC Sensation] BrokenWall:
it is, I pulled it from the Unity v8 table, everything under 1188

but even then I have only see those 4 i listed during testing, though I think they appear to be the more common cpu steps
[HTC Sensation] Cayniarb:
No, that's the stock table.
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Ok, thanks!
[HTC Sensation] Cayniarb:
Still testing, but it looks like we may have cracked the governor restoring on cpu1 resume. (still testing, possibly a false positive...)

Huge thanks go out to BrokenWall, jlevy73, NxtGenCowboy, and Lord_Data for testing and morfic for looking at code with me -- could not have gotten anywhere with this without all of their help.
[HTC Sensation] Cayniarb:
How did you prevent it from sleeping?
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Simple script, still testing but it seems to be working.
[HTC Sensation] jlevy73:
Interesting. atm cannot get the governor to stick although min/max does.
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Another finding: there must be some internal command in the kernel that sets cpu1 to 0 after going back to main screen from some app or lockscreen.
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Actually what I successfully did is:

1. Set cpu1 to run permanently when screen is ON

2. Set wake governor to ondemand with min 192000 and 118000 max

3. Set sleep governor to conservative with min 192000 and 384000 max

4. Set cpu1 to be disabled when screen is OFF
[HTC Sensation] jlevy73:
#1, is a great because thus far can only get cpu1 to run during certain conditions like cf-bench. Otherwise it returns 0

So according to the above when awake gov is set to ondemand. When you idle the device then wake it up you can get ondemand to stick? If so, that's a nice breakthough
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Yes, ondemand when screen on and conservative when screen off.
[HTC Sensation] jlevy73:
That's good news
