[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
A nandroid will reflash system, data, cache - everything. The only thing a Nandroid won't flash is a kernel if you're doing a major change (e.g. Froyo to Gingerbread or either of those to CM7 - while it's also GB, it requires special kernels.)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] the2rrell:
ok with that said, you should flash the Kernel before the nandroid to make sure there is a compatible kernel there for the nandroid to use??

basically match up froyo roms and kernels and visa versa for BG before i decide to flash a Nandroid?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Yup, that would be a good idea - since if you restore the nandroid on an incompatible kernel, you'll have the phone be very unhappy. (Will refuse to boot.)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] the2rrell:
Much thanks E.........appreciate the time bruh.

this can be closed.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] the2rrell:
I completely failed here E, i tried to restore a nandroid. i loaded the Infusion GB Kernel then proceeded to restore the nandroid and just get boot loops no matter how i do it.

any thoughts??
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Hmm I think I need to look at this later in the week. Starting to sound like Nandroid might be broken in red CWM.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] the2rrell:
i got it, but i had to load the Kernel - Rom - then do the nandroid. but that kinda of defeats the purpose in my eyes....lol

but yea, if you find something that would be cool to know E.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1454:
I have searched the market and google, but I can't find anything that will work with my specific scenarios. I want a rules based app, if it exists, to activate gps when certain programs are launched, like Navi, or maps, etc. Then, the biggest reason I want it, is because I would like it to deactivate on close. I have a real bad problem of remembering to kill it when I am finished using it, so I end up killing the battery prematurely because of my own stupidity. I've tried my phone my rules, and two or three others, but I couldn't figure out how to set it up to do what I wanted. Maybe I'm just an idiot. who knows. Thanks for any advice.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yareally:
Cyanogen has profiles like that, but I don't think it extends to GPS.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
I've pretty much always run sense ROMs and I ALWAYS leave my GPS checked on. It only uses it when I'm using an app that needs it. I'm not sure where the idea came from that if GPS is left on it will use it all the time, but I've never seen evidence that is how it behaves. Unless AOSP is weird and does try to lock all the time or something....
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brenick:
I use Easy Profiles and like it a lot. It takes a little work to understand but is very useful and really helps me save my battery.

As the previous poster says, most apps turn off GPS when they are deactivated.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] worwig:
+1

Stock rom and I leave my GPS on 100% of the time.

I get from 12 hours to well over 24 hours of battery depending on how I use the phone. The GPS power turns off if no software is hitting it for a location.

Turning off the GPS (or WiFi for that matter) has never changed my battery life.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1454:
Maybe I'm mistaken then. It just seemed like my battery died off quicker after using Navi. But I didn't actually do anything to verify this. I will also try easy profile as one poster suggested.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
I'd suggest before adding another app that will CERTAINLY eat more battery, to take look at what apps ore services are eating power, and exactly how they're doing that. Even the basic battery stats displayed in stock Android will give you a rough idea. Something like JuicePlotter will highlight what and when certain basic functions eat power. If you're GPS is running, it will stick out as a different color blur coming off the power plot line.

I'm a strong proponent of power management through strategy, not brute force of apps managing it. Kinda like a bank with a good security system... it makes more sense to design the building well, rather than hire guards/apps to do the job at a higher cost in dollars/watthours.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1454:
I use Battery widget to monitor my juice usage, but it just "seemed" like my battery usage was worse with GPS on. But I don't use my phone in the same way any two days in a row, so it was probably just in my imagination.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
If GPS is constantly on being used to update traffic, geotag photos, or track you on GPS, you're going to usually notice sharp drops in battery life. I use the battery widget too, but JuicePlotter can better illustrate where the power is going.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Absolute_Zero:
I'm a little surprised noone suggested Tasker, Locale, or SettingProfiles since they will all do exactly what the OP wanted and more. Tasker isn't as user-friendly as the others but seems to provide more functionality. I currently have it set just as the OP wanted. Turns gps on when Maps, Nav, etc open then turn it back off on close. Probably unnecessary but doesn't cause any problems for me so it's fine.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1454:
thanks A0. I will definitely check that out, as I think it will work for the other things I wanted to try too.

Hi all

I just flashed the RomKitchen JVR. But now the Gingerbread Keyboard keeps forceclosing. Via Google I found this thread about the same problem including a solution. But the link in this thread to download the lib_gblatinime.so is dead.

It would be great if anyone could give me a new link to this file :)

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrfocus22:
Had the same problem as you. I found someone who had put up the APK for the Gingerbread keyboard up here, but I only needed that file, which I took out and simply put into the right folder (system/lib).

For some reason, the file name is slightly different:

libjni_gblatinime.so

Hope this fixes your problem!

[HTC Sensation] moviewatch:
Hi all

I am using the latest Android Revolution HD 3.0.2

With the full dual core support, I was wondering if it really works with my phone

My HTC Sensation :

Android 2.3.4

Stock Kernel

The latest android revolution 3.0.2 : both cpu running all time when screen is on

I have my screen on and playing with phone.. :

C:\adb>adb shell

adb server is out of date. killing...

* daemon started successfully *

# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq

1188000

# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq: No such file or directory

So by me when screen is on only 1 processor is running at full ghz

the second cpu is sleeping...

When I read the changelog for android revo 3.0.2

b) Both cpu0 and cpu1 are running from 192 MHz to 1.2 GHz when screen is ON

By me only cpu0 working at full speed the second must then run for minimum 192 mhz but it don't work when screen is on.

What can be the problem here ?

Looking forward
[HTC Sensation] moviewatch:
anyone that could help me ??
[HTC Sensation] judsonmaag@gmail.com:
bmp. same question.

I've got the same question - in fact - with the same variables (OS, ROM, etc). Of course I have no idea what child folders and files were in

/sys/devices/system/cpu

before flashing, rooting, and jacking around with everything.

So if anyone has a definitive answer - it would be mucho appreciated and it'll save reflashing to stock to find out. Hopefully, since a dual core is physically one CPU, there's stuff in CPU0, but CPU1 is empty.

But, then again, why does CPU1 even exist if that's the case?

Hi!

I've installed the new android 2.3.3 and my camera would not work kept not responding, so I re-installed the software same thing. Does anyone has the Idea on how to fix this kind of problem?

Please help.

Thank you in advance for your quick response.

As I understand this should now be fixed by doing a software repair via PC Companion. So I suggest that you try it again.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jshaner26:
I have a DINC2 with Froyo 2.2.1 (yes I know. Pitiful) . I utilize a carrier that will not pass through the Gingerbread update so I cannot upgrade via a software update check.

I have downloaded the Gingerbread RUU file (ROM Utility 1.0.3.2011) to upgrade via computer with HTC Sync but at the point of "Verifying Information on your Android Phone. Please wait..." it errors "Error 170: USB Connection Error"

Now USB connection is fine because 1) I can see SDCARD and 2) HTC Sync sees the phone. I also ran the RUU as Administration on a Windows 7 machine.

I know I'm a late bloomer but any help is appreciated. Want to get Gingerbread on so that I can root via Revolutionary.

Appreciate any help!!:(
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tpbklake:
The phone's USB connection needs to be set to Charge Only and then make sure that the Fastboot option is turned off in Settings, too. Also make sure that HTC Sync is not running when you start the RUU.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
Here's a few options.

when it gives you that error, just try again. if that doesnt work you will need to pull the rom.zip from the RUU on your computer and then rename the "rom.zip" to "PG32IMG.zip" and put it on root of SD card, and turn off phone, hold vol down and power to get to fastboot and install the RUU like this..

now to pull the rom.zip

open the RUU. u dont need to have ur phone plugged in or anything yet, just open the RUU and wait for it to load, once loaded, click start button, and search for "%temp%" and then search through all the folders it should be in one that looks something like this "2CB47C27-73D0-47FE-A17F-4FD3FC062A8A" and you may have to go into a second folder to find it, but ull find it. and pull that rom.zip onto ur desktop. now you can exit the RUU, rename the rom.zip to what I said above, and install like I said above. it's a signed RUU from HTC so you can install it this way. I find it much easier than dealing with the RUU on the computer cos of errors.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jshaner26:
Andybones you da man!! I did exactly what you instructed and IT WORKED! The detail in which you described so well was extremley helpful.

I am going to make a few cleanup adjustments before I am going to Root via Revolutionary.

Thank you Again. Thank You Tpbklake for responding as well!

What is the easiest rom and way to upgrade to a custom rom. I need one that has the option to manually change the apn so I can go back to tethering and at&t wont be able to tell. Just looking for a little help. I had trouble trying to get a rom on here before and just gave up and went the easy route and put 351 on and have be content till I got a letter telling me to stop tethering or they'll change my plan to a capped plan.

I don't think there's any way you're gonna tether with ANY ROM and AT&T not find out about it.... the way your PC handles packet data is different so once the network detects the tether you'll be getting a message

Does anyone know if this is true. Is it essentially spinning my wheels and sooner or later they would know or if I do change the apn like someone in another post said to do is get a custom rom and change the apn and point it all to the browser... just really want to get my tethering back of I can but don't want to go thru the process of changing the rom if its a moot point

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaydog:
Use the multi-recovery flasher on your computer and flash streakmod recovery, and choose the rom.zip you want. All custom roms for the streak will be pre-rooted and have tethering enabled.

Didn't somebody post that you can use Quick Settings from the market to enable tethering on a stock rom?

I've been tethering for many years on AT&T with no issues, but lightly...

do you or does anyone know how to edit smali files?

i looked on the google page and i don't understand at all whats going on..

can someone dumb it down for me?

open a cmd prompt where u extracted apktool:

ie... c:\apktool

decompile the file u want to edit:

ie... apktool d settings.apk

make your edits

compile the apk:

ie.... apktool b settings

this might fix it.

idk if this is even right, but this is what i did.

go into your phone

go to;

/system/framework/

and copy

com.htc.resources.apk

and

framework-res.apk

now take both of those files and put them in the

C:\Users\Balaji\apktool\framework\ <--- folder.

remove the 1.apk and put it somewhere safe (just incase this **** dont work)

then, since com.htc.resources.apk and framework-res.apk are both in there, rename 'com.htc.resources.apk' to '1.apk'

then go to 'framework-res.apk' and rename it to '2.apk'

remember that 1 is always 'com.htc.resources.apk'

remember that 2 is always 'framework-res.apk'

(just for future reference lol)
