[Epic 4G General] nubecoder:
[The short answer]

If it's working for you, then it's not "bad". ;]

[The much longer than I had expected it to be, other info / opinions on Epic governor related issues, answer]

It's just that the Samsung phones don't have anywhere near the amount of steps as other devices do, and their handling of which step to jump to when asked for freq X is not that great (and becomes more of a problem when frequencies are disabled with tools like setCPU and Voltage Control).

The other big thing is that (in Samsung's code) there isn't any compliance to the cpufreq "scaling_min" setting, it simply uses a clip to make sure it's not below the lowest available freq (ie 100MHz) and doesn't care if it's below the scaling_min. Some phones handle the 100MHz better than others (and the original 100MHz is possibly "broken" when you look at it's divisors).

Note that some do kernels have some changes in place to force the compliance of the scaling_min setting. (I know Genocide does anyway.) (And mine does but it has yet to be released to the wild.)

There's some other things in play as well, like the DVFS lock that can be applied to force the frequency to be a "fixed" freq (as in won't change) or a "high_lock" which is basically "no lower than X".

For example, there is a DVFS lock used any time you touch the touch screen that will not allow the CPU to scale below 800MHz (lock token 6 IIRC). (The lock is lifted when you let go). And Samsung's conservative (IMO transitional) governor uses a fixed lock of 800MHz during sleep (suspend).

I've spent a lot of time trying to figure all of this out and to determine why Samsung's devices (specifically the Epic) simply don't play well with most governors.

I have worked out most of the bugs in my kernel (I wrote a function to handle getting the nearest requested frequency with disabled freqs in mind). But it's still not perfect.

I've considered going full force and adding tons of freqs to see how that works out, but that's a crap-ton of work, and my current goal is to release my kernel before official GB drops.

Hopefully will be over the next few days (but I've been saying that to myself for weeks now it seems).

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flashmaniac:
Hello everybody,

someone over in the Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development noticed that issue.

In download modus it counts the custom Binarys.

is there a known way to reset it?

I know there is a way for the SGS II with a usb jig or something...

Let's try to figure that out together.

I've been 'googling' a lot, couldn't find anything about it for the tablet.

Please, don't spam or be offend.

i`ve already tried to flash older firmwares with odin but without success.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flashmaniac:
yeah we need something like the sgsII has...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kruznix:

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kumabjorn:
,I decided to give the screen a little extra protection and bought the adhesice Skinomi protection for the screen.

Using the WritePad application I tried writing with a rubber tipped stylus on top of the Skinomi. I must have pressed to hard or something because it left a black "skidmark", for lack of abetter expression, on top of the screen. Is there some method to remove it? Very ugly streak right over the middle of the screen.
[Motorola Droid 3] djdmbrwsk:
Has anyone used this app to freeze system apps? I went with it cause its rating was decent and it was free. It does seem to freeze apps, but it also seems to change the permissions on the app(s) you freeze and then never puts them back to what they were when you un-freeze them. It doesn't seem to hurt anything, but it's kinda weird. I don't want it to botch up all my permissions.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bigdwg71:
Just S-OFF'd and rooted my wife's Inc2. Does anyone know if it is ok to use ROM Manager to flash Clockwork Recovery after using the Revolutionary tool to install their custom Clockwork Recovery? The reason I want to is because ROM Manager doesn't seem to recognize the Revolutionary CW Recovery that their tool installs.

Does it work? Will it ruin recovery? What's the story?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] times_infinity:
Revolutionary doesnt push SU unless they updated it to. And you need root to flash recovery with rom manager. If you cant get recovery installed with revolutionary, youll have to install it with fastboot.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] beenz:
I used rom manager to flash CWM after flashing a different CWM. Everything is all good

Sent from my finally rooted Dinc 2
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bigdwg71:
Thanks Beenz, I will give it a try then.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bigdwg71:
Thanks Times,

I used their tool which (after S-OFF) pushes a custom clockwork recovery which I then used that to flash SU onto it. But now I was wondering if it was ok to use ROM Manager to push a clockwork recovery that it could recognize. But it looks like Beenz was able to with success, just looking to see what others have done or know.

Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] xenakis:
I also have the CWM installed by Revolutionary. In ROM Manager, go to menu --> manual flash override. I've been using it with no problems without having to reflash CWM. The only drawback is that every time ROM Manager starts up, it tells me that there is an newer version of CWM available. Not the end of the world.

So reflash or don't, works either way.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bigdwg71:
Thanks xenakis.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] times_infinity:
Oh yeah, if you have root already, you can flash CWM that rom managet downloads.

Now I don't know what phone I want to get this fall. I guess it really depends on the support of either the sgs2 or this. I've never had a htc android phone either, just windows mobile. I have played a lol with it. Then there is the prime but I only hope there is a subsidized one on ATT this year. Seems like a very exciting time for phones coming up.
[Off-topic] Zorachus:
If your on Verizon for sure wait until November for the Nexus-Three. But you can't go wrong with the new Samsung Galaxy S2 coming out next month those will be very good and powerful.
[Off-topic] francomur99:
Get an iPhone my friend do the jailbreak and you going to.be in the future...3 years on front. I had Windows mobile too then I mooved to Android...then the iPhone 4. It was a revution. Don't get me wrong I'm also an android fans and I wouldn't get the iPhone without jailbreak. All my friends with android now admit that the iPhone 4 with JB is more advanced then any.other device....superior in quality and performance. I keep on playing with my Htc Desire too..a great device...but the iPhone is an iPhone....
[Off-topic] Jesuscat:
You could always wait for the iPhone 5 coming in October. I'm thinking about selling my G2X and grabbing one when the time comes.
[Off-topic] iLiberate:
I'm in the same position, AT&T customer ready for upgrade just waiting for a phone. Looks like the choices are going to be Samsung Galaxy SII and iPhone 5 but I can't imagine AT&T would go any longer than February without an ICS device... I JUST DON'T WANT ANY PHYSICAL BUTTONS on my phone... It's a waste of space.
[Off-topic] Nerz:
I just can't go iPhone. I hate being locked down and I like the freedom of android, plus all my paid apps. I love my captivate so going the sgs2 attain would be a nice transition. But the Nexus seems so sweet. Just hope at&t gets a subsidized version and it doesn't take forever.
[Off-topic] rustyshack3:
If your contract is gonna be up, switch to Verizon and get an LTE Android. Cant beat LTE. For you iPhone fans, what is the app store like compared to the Android market? I have heard most apps cost more. Any free apps? Any refunds? Free updates to apps?

[Optimus V Android Development] mjs2011:
Looks fantastic!
[Optimus V Android Development] awerni:
Glad you like it! Maybe I'll change some things to make it look better overall. Some things I'am considering is changing the notification area colors so that it matches the overall look of the ROM. Any suggestions?
[Optimus V Android Development] mjs2011:
I'd love to see something that shows battery percentage, but I suppose that's kind of anti miui, lol
[Optimus V Android Development] awerni:
Actually the battery icon on top shows battery percentage, but since it was charging when I took the screenshot, it didn't show the battery percentage lol!
[Optimus V Android Development] Raul027:
So what launcher are you going to use?
[Optimus V Android Development] awerni:
I' am still not sure if I should stick with the original MIUI icons, and Touchwiz 3.0 (used in the creenshots) or go with LauncherPro and use the SuaveHD icons!
[Optimus V Android Development] reaper420:
sweet, i look forward to trying this out
[Optimus V Android Development] nemo3:
Neat. Looking forward to trying it.
[Optimus V Android Development] prech:
Looking forward to trying it out. Would a circle battery be implementable?

Or if not, I imagine the framework files can be altered by UOT kitchen
[Optimus V Android Development] BigChillin:
Kind of a **** question, but might it be easier to make a theme for iho? Either way I like the look.
[Optimus V Android Development] awerni:
Yeah..at first I thought about that...but then I'd have to add all the different links to apps for MIUI look, plus the patcher for transparent status bar, plus the widgets, plus the touchwiz launcher, plus all the other things I'm planing.for this..so it was easier for me to just create the whole rom with everthything included xD
[Optimus V Android Development] SWEATTAIMI:

Are you going to be using all the apps that have been ported from miui like the camera, gallery, and music, apps?
[Optimus V Android Development] SWEATTAIMI:
the camera is not for sure to do that :D (as some effects may give fc)

but music, gallery should work :D
[Optimus V Android Development] awerni:
Haha ofcourse n.n I got this idea becuase of you anyways :p

And yeah..I tried to put camera.apk from MIUI, but it F'Cs to much, and it is very slow, so I won't be including it :p everything else will be default, but I will attach original gingerbread files just in case someone dislikes the diffrent system apps
[Optimus V Android Development] SWEATTAIMI:
Thank you

hehe thanks, i really like the stuff you done 0___o its better than dr.notor's rom :D

really nice :)
[Optimus V Android Development] awerni:
I'm glad to know people are intrested in my project n.n I'll try to finish it as fast as I can since you guys are intrested in it :p
[Optimus V Android Development] SWEATTAIMI:
even tough i dont have LGOT or V or S (wich dont bother me at all)

i do want this rom badly because i like samsung launcher you have transparent mine isnt,

and the way its changed :3

totaly awesome, if its possible you should make som line at bottom as MIUI Launcher ;)

I'm at school right now, as soon as I get home I will compile the ROM and upload it first thing in the morning tomorrow :)
[Optimus V Android Development] leolawliet:
So far I like what I see, I just hope it's more stable than BACKside
[Optimus V Android Development] awerni:
It is BACKSIDE, its just themed differently and some additions :3
[Optimus V Android Development] DustbinK:
I'm wondering if these changes will make it run any worse. If not I'm totally for this!
[Optimus V Android Development] mjs2011:
i do a lot of work in the kitchen, and i've never seen "theming" affect a phone's performance. if you're having problems with Backside, i highly recommend inquiring in the "IHO" thread because most people are having great success with the ROM.
[Optimus V Android Development] Xx_silenzer_xX:
How early Will you release this kuz i got school in the morning and i wana flash it before school lol
[Optimus V Android Development] awerni:
Well I've been having some problems with some features in the rom, but it wont delay the release... it will only require more steps to install the overall look, thats all. I'm adding the finishing touches, I will have it ready maybe by 8-ish in the morning Mountain Time!
[Optimus V Android Development] jlee1201:
Waiting....

oh great... im gonna have to wait til after school or try to do it during lunch. lol.

but thanks so much for this man! it looks amazing and i cant wait to use it!

one question though... will it have a music player on the lock screen? cause i know it is on backside, im currently using it, so i am just wondering. cause it dosent say it on your features.
[Optimus V Android Development] Xx_silenzer_xX:
Same here! ima have toi get it after school and i would just wait to release with all of its features and everything compiled and ready to go! (:
[Optimus V Android Development] jlee1201:
yes i agree! if it takes like another day or two to put everything together, by any means take your time! id rather wait for a quality ROM then make you rush for one that wont be to its full potential!

OMY JIZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ cant wait..
[Optimus V Android Development] awerni:
Yep, it exactly the same as BACKside with the lockscreen, i'm just adding new apps, widgets and features to it, not much.

I'm not that experienced at coding or anything like that, so just imagine this as a very lengthy and big theme for Backside packed in a ROM xD

As I get more experience I will start adding more MIUI things and maybe I will port it over as soon as I start programming classes as the university :3

O btw, should I include Swype? or is it just too much? :O
[Optimus V Android Development] jlee1201:
ohh okay thanks dude! cause i need that lock screen music widget! haha.

and yeah i understand! im really looking forward to it! like, im psyched. hahaha.

and i guess your gonna have to keep us posted on the updates! and no, i doubt anyone useses swipe.. especially on optimus v. the screen is too small to use it. in my opinion... but you can add it!
[Optimus V Android Development] awerni:
Okay then, I'm already updating the OP with installation instructions and everything.

I will upload and link the files tomorrow as soon as I wake up. I just finished packing the final ROM, and it is VERY stable, just like IHO (haha duh! ;p)

Thanks for your feedback! :D
[Optimus V Android Development] jlee1201:
You should send it to me and let me be the first to try it out... ;)

I could tell you, from a user point of view, what you need to do/fix and whatnot! you know!?

if not, ill be getting it tomorrow!

And your welcome for the feedback! :D
[Optimus V Android Development] awerni:
If I could I would, but I don't have access to a fast internet connection until tomorrow morning, that is why I'am taking so long to release it xD but please report me if there are bugs, or weird things happening in the ROM so I can fix them as soon as I can!
[Optimus V Android Development] jlee1201:
haha i know, i was only kidding! I can't wait man! Again, thanks so much! :D
[Optimus V Android Development] K.Dot:

[Optimus V Android Development] awerni:

[Optimus V Android Development] scgdavis:
Does the wired headset mic work?
[Optimus V Android Development] awerni:
Actually, I don't think so. Mgr666 uploaded a new version of IHO/BAckside that fixes this, but I personally use Jerryscript's since his builds have more stability and more features. I am waiting for Jerry script to upload a new IHO update, but if he doesn't i'll try to build my own IHO from source :3
[Optimus V Android Development] awerni:
Yeah, I know you desire this launcher alot xD but I found something cool.

This touchwiz launcher matches the themes icons. So for example, when you first install the ROM you will have stock icons, but when you install a theme, the dock will change to match the icons in the theme! Its pretty awesome n.n
[Optimus V Android Development] NonCrowd:
Just installed, a little confused with the Japanese writing not sure if that's it. Rather large rom but so far smooth. Going to test it after I get out of culinary classes today :D and when I'm at work. Thanks for the good work.

Edit: The more I look at it it's all Japanese (once again unsure of actual language) using the MIUIHO launcher just a little confusing once again I'll play with it more when home :D
[Optimus V Android Development] awerni:
Yeah, the MIUI Launcher has alot of japanese. The developer was porting it from qqlauncher, but I'm guessing he didn't finish translating everything. If you can't understand it just switch to qqlauncher. Its the samething, just with some diffrent icons.
[Optimus V Android Development] pbailey212:

Edit: haha sorry, I just realized the stupidity I just posted xD this is.practically a port of your ROM XD I'll give you credit as soon as I get home :p
[Optimus V Android Development] awerni:
I knew I was forgetting something! For transparency in qqlauncher just use Multipic wallpaper (I think, ill add it.to the main post when I get home) and for the touchwiz launcher, just open the app drawer and press the menu button and youll be able yo change thr icons in the dock :p
[Optimus V Android Development] awerni:
I'll try to add more screencaps as soon as I get home.

Also, people that installed the ROM should post screenshots of their setup. It would be interesting to see the diffrences of each one!
[Optimus V Android Development] pbailey212:
Don't forget to setup go SMS after you flash this rom, otherwise you wont be able to recieve texts

on my phone, when i click on the dialer, it brings me to the contacts... and then there are two contact apps basically. and i don't like all the apps you have just on here... like go dialer and go contacts, really? you can take them off! lol i doubt anyone uses them! a lot of junk apps, much appreciated if they weren't there! and there is just that one little thing that ticks me off in all 3 of those launchers... lol. and idk if you can change it or not... but the folders in miui launcher kinda piss me off. i like the ones in qqlauncher better. but ill get over it i guess. but yeah i love this ROM so far dude! everything else is flawless! keep up the good work! sorry for being hard on you up there! :D
[Optimus V Android Development] awerni:
Okay :D if you don't like them, just delete them! :p For the next release I'll build two different ROMS, one with everything included, and the other without the other dialer and junk apps :O

Any other apps you don't like? I just want feedback :p

About the launcher, I have no idea what you are talking about, but if you don't like it just install the launcher of your preference dude! That's the magic of android, you can INSTALL and UNINSTALL whatever you don't like! hahha

Okay haha i was just trying to give some feedback! :P

but when idk what i even mean about the launchers! haha i typed it wrong and it made me look like an idiot! hahahahaha
