[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
Ok first of all there is something you need to understand! NEVER USE A TASK MANAGER! They are useless. Android isnt like windows, having lots of free ram does not improve performance. Infact it hinders it. The following paragraph is taken from lifehacker.

"In Android, processes and Applications are two different things. An app can stay "running" in the background without any processes eating up your phone's resources. Android keeps the app in its memory so it launches more quickly and returns to its prior state. When your phone runs out of memory, Android will automatically start killing tasks on its own, starting with ones that you haven't used in awhile.

The problem is that Android uses RAM differently than, say, Windows. On Android, having your RAM nearly full is a good thing. It means that when you relaunch an app you've previously opened, the app launches quickly and returns to its previous state. So while Android actually uses RAM efficiently, most users see that their RAM is full and assume that's what's slowing down their phone. In reality, your CPU—which is only used by apps that are actually active—is almost always the bottleneck."

As for the more games option. If your using the .145 firmware. You need to reinstall "moregames.apk" if your using the latest firmware. You need to reinstall "fun&games.apk"

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El_Colombiano:
See this is interesting. I just installed Task Panel and have it so it closes apps and opens up RAM every time I put the phone to sleep. I did it mostly to save battery. I consistently had my RAM at less than 50MB before the manager. Now it's usually above 120MB. My fear is battery life, and obviously performance in emulators and games like Minecraft.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
If you learnt about android you would know that you device would function better when you had less than 50mb ram ;)

Hi Guys,

I'm using Virtuous Unity Sense 3.0 based on Pyramid [2.35.0] - great ROM..

I installed Smart Keyboard Pro (paid) in order to use Arabic along with English, after selected it as usual.

The problem is that I'm still have ROM keyboard instead.

Any idea how to fix it??

thanks

Ali
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dementor123:
First, you know that there is an Arabic keyboard that comes with this rom, right? If not, its pretty good. Try it out.

Regarding smart keyboard, first step is to enable smart keyboard in settings and then long press in a text editor area and change the input method. Did you miss any of these steps by any chance?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alijs:
thanks for your reply, appreciated.

the ROM keyboard named Arabic but don't have Arabic language within.

I did enable smart keyboard in settings & within choose Arabic & English as input language, but after in messages, mail etc when trying to type I get ROM keyboard every time and that's the problem>

edit: thanks it worked, I missed the part of long press in a text editor..

I used to have Motorola milestone and never needed to do that..

really appreciate your help brother

Hello. I am interested in building my own ROM. I have some computer knowledge, but I want to know, what tools and files do I need for creating one. So maybe someone can guide me or point me to a tutorials. I basically just want to try some things.

Is there a way to brick my phone by using a custom ROM?

Also, what is android 2.3.5? Google's latest is Android 2.3.3 .
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Hayden18:
Android Latest stable release

Tablets: 3.2 (Honeycomb)

Latest Android release is 2.3.5 for phones
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Pj77:
good new, should be more like you.

Latest android for smartphones is 2.3.5.

Regarding advices to build a new rom, nothing better than to speak to those that already did and have the knowledge (stcokwell, DZO, FFranco, Knzo, etc)

Search the posts of each rom and speak with respective developers.

Good luck and I waiting for your rom to test it :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Tommixoft:
I'm interested too, but it requires more knowledge about linux. Kernels and so on.

So i'm thinkin is better to build kernels, there is sources, there is websites with how to and so o.. rom is more complex.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
I'm bringing this thread up now.

I am currently downloading CyanogenMod's source, because of what I've read android.git.kernel.org is down. My first idea was to do a proper scene port of the latest Android. But well, this has better documentation anyway. So, I haven't got the source yet to browse, but is there a way to make a general build and if I understand correctly, it creates me a system.img? How to make it flashable by recovery? And if it fails to start, can I still get to the recovery? And about kernel, this has to be modified too, right?

And for last, if anyone has a good Android source code browsing/modifying e-book/video/whatever, can I have it?

-e-

I found that CyanogenMod can automatically make a signed .zip and on normal Android AOSP I can make it with "make otapackage". Is that right?

[General Questions and Answers] Kermagod:
Is it me or are the standard tablet prices way too high?

Just checked the pricing for Sony Tablet S (Wi-Fi only) £399/$499 (16GB) and £499/$599 (32GB) with the 3G version roughly 100 more.

Not blaming Sony for this as all companies seem to be inflated.

If all companies were to take a look at the recent HP Touchpad saga, can they not see the potential if the prices were lower? (Maybe not to that extent, but you catch my drift hopefully).

As consumers, if we were to all agree worldwide that we were not going to pay these prices for something we believe should be at least a couple of £/$100 cheaper. Wouldn't companies have to eventually reduce prices due the poor sales?

P.s. TO MODS - If this belongs in Q & A apologies.
[General Questions and Answers] MeInGatineau:
I think that the tablet market is still preadolescence. I believe that this will be the case for at least one or two more years then we can expect the tablet market to become more competitive on high quality tablets.
[General Questions and Answers] vetvito:
Hell yeah. But these companies have to make a profit or at least break even on the hardware.

I got a Streak 7 for $150. Loved it. I'm looking to find a Xoom or Transformer now.

Its all about searching for deals I guess.
[General Questions and Answers] Kermagod:
@MeInGatineau - The Touchpad industry being young in it's life cycle is true, but as it stands there is enough competition to drive prices down. Companies will only do this if we refuse to buy at the inflated prices.

@vetvito - The companies do not "need to" make profit/break even on hardware so early, they "want to". The combination of software sales, economies of scale and cheaper components etc. in the long run should make them more than enough profit.
[General Questions and Answers] oka1:
Have a Nook cost 200 bucks

A Asus EE tablet 380.00

A Samsung 10.1 paid 480.00

and a 32 gig Touchpad Paid 230.00 for it.

Cost is driven more by hype and perception than by academic business models.

All the above are 100-300.00 more in the stores if you buy "off the shelf"retail.

Always NEVER do that unless you are rich.

Typically the way electronics work is : They R/D a design and get it to manufacture , once there, they figure the baseline amount needed to be sold @ a given price in order to break even (recoup all costs for the project) Then , after they pass that mark costs begin to decline.... unless it is a hot seller then they exploit the hype of the market for the extra profit benefit it brings for as long as it lasts.

Apple is better at keeping the hype up than most other people in the market today, which explains why they have a following, you get less and pay more for it, and think it is a deal. NOW! that's great marketing !!!

If you really want to know more on this and markets and how they work just look at the Intel chip market.
[General Questions and Answers] Techno79:
Yes tablets are expensive at the moment but I don't think this immediately points to greedy manufacturers with big profit margins. Developing the tablets are quite costly and they are probably just covering their costs. Once they gain experience and pick up, I'm sure scales of economy kick and and products will become cheaper. Exactly how the laptop market has gone.

Competition will always drive prices down but no manufacturer is going to sell the tablet at a loss unless they are able to re-coop that money from elsewhere. E.g. Amazon sell the Kindle at a loss as they make money on the ebooks. Carriers sell mobile phones at a loss as they make money on the tariffs and carrier services used.

HP were selling the TouchPad for a loss. They could do this because the alternative was probably a greater loss.
[General Questions and Answers] Techno79:
I don't see how software sales would make profit for a tablet manufacturer? Most tablet manufacturers opportunities for profit are with the tablet sales and official accessories for that tablet.

I would argue that manufacturers do need to make profit/break even as quickly as possible. Manufacturers cannot afford to have long drawn out periods for products to break even. They do not know how they will sell, what competition will do or any of the other million factors that affect economy.

This isn't to say pricing them high will get them to break even as quickly as possible. Because if they are too high then they will not get enough sales.
[General Questions and Answers] Kermagod:
@oka1 - That is my partly my point. There are deals to be had if you shop around, but why are the prices not discounted in the first place. The person/company that you bought from, would have bought from 1-2 people before you and it is likely that they all made money from each item.

I also have a Touchpad but the 16GB version, which I paid £127. Above the insane price of £89, but now that I have it, I realise I might have paid £200, but the £350+ price tag was ridiculous imo.

Also, I get your R&D point to an extent, but then why bring out a newer model with only slightly better features in 6 to 12 months and price it at the same price, as the original. Surely the the R&D cost wouldn't have increased significantly for the new product

@Techno79 - I'm not in the industry, but I can't really see the development cost being high enough to justify such a high selling price. I know it's not as straight forward as this but, tablets are generally just big smart phones, some with less features (e.g. Wi-Fi only).

In comparison the laptops that you mention are probably more costly to build, but are cheaper and have a lot more functions.

My point is, I don't believe they have to sell them for as much as they do and if, as a society, simplified, we all turned around and said drop the price by a couple of 100 and we'll all buy one, they would.

My software sales point was more at certain companies that get a % of sales revenue for apps sold, but true it's probably not the case for all.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that companies don't need to survive, I'm just saying, they should give a little back to the consumer that buy their products and help them make the vast amounts of profit they do.

In reality, as long as people are giving up their money as easy as they do, companies will sell at a premium.

[General Questions and Answers] oka1:
They sold millions in 2 days for that price and now they are sold out. I got mine off some guy who bought one and marked up 75 bucks
[General Questions and Answers] Techno79:
If you breakdown the different parts of a tablet's cost then you'll have something like this:

Hardware costs

Retail mark up

Taxes

Manufacturing/production costs

Manufacturer's Profit

Manufacturer's profit first has to cover the huge costs of R&D, marketing and service/maintenance. These combined costs run up in the millions and will take a lot of sales before they break even. I would guess that they'd need to sell 100s of thousands before they get to break even point. So, until they reach those sales figures, I do believe they are justified in selling a high selling price. Obviously, I'm not saying I like high costs but I do think the current Android tablet price points are somewhat justified.

Tablets may be larger versions of mobile phones, but like I said before, mobile phones can be sold at a loss as they offset the loss against consumers signing up to 12/18/24 month carrier plans and using additional cost services with that carrier. Take a look at SIM free mobile phone costs if you really want to compare like for like. Top end mobile phones can cost nearly £500.

Also, some of R&D can be reused from previous generation of devices. Manufacturers are probably on their 100th generation of laptops where as Android tablets are at the most on their 3rd or 4th generation and thus still very new. I think for this reason, laptops are probably cheaper to produce.

Competition also drives prices down a lot and there is obviously more competition with laptops than there is with tablets. When laptops were fairly new, they would cost well over £1000 for a decent model which is far more than the tablets at the moment. It's only in the last few years that laptops have been fairly cheap. I'm sure tablets will get to that point a lot quicker but I doubt we'll see that before end of 2011.

Also, not all tablets will be a super seller. Some tablets will flop and never cover their R&D and marketing costs. It's down to profits from other tablets that cover these costs.

I'm all for lower tablet costs but from manufacturers perspective, I don't see anything wrong with the current price points of Android tablets given how new Android tablets are and the level of competition in the market. It's guaranteed that costs will eventually come down.
[General Questions and Answers] Kermagod:
Very valid points. I fully understand that everything you said is pretty much true, but there are many counter arguments to your points, so I'll agree to disagree overall.

But going back to what should have probably been the first line in the thread and not the last (I can see why the thread went the way it did, instead of the way I wanted):

"As consumers, if we were to all agree worldwide that we were not going to pay these prices for something we believe should be at least a couple of £/$100 cheaper. Wouldn't companies have to eventually reduce prices due the poor sales?"

Would this work? Or would the tablet market slowly die out?
[General Questions and Answers] Techno79:
I personally don't think this would work. There are many consumers who are extremely well off and are happy to pay the high price for early adoption. How would someone be able to co-ordinate such a consumer boycott. I think the current natural system works. If a manufacturer releases a product at too higher price, then less consumers will purchase it. As time goes on, and the product gets cheaper, more consumers are likely to jump on board to buy. However, if the product remains too high a price for the duration of the products life, then this will be seen with low total sales and low profit margins for the manufacturer (possibly even a loss). The manufacturer "should" learn their lesson and make the next product at a better price point.

If manufacturers can make more profit from selling 100k products at a high price than selling 1M products at a low price then they need some other incentive to sell at low price point.

Hypothetically speaking, if we could agree between all consumers to not buy the tablets at their high price to force manufacturers to release them at a low price then the profit margins could be so low that manufacturers give up on tablets as they realise they can get more profit from netbook/laptop and other consumer devices. So yes, I do think a global boycott for the high initial early adoption cost could kill the tablet market.
[General Questions and Answers] sygeek:
Practically, in here, yes they are. But comparatively with other devices/gadgets, the current tablet market is decently-priced.
[General Questions and Answers] bimmernut318:
Just like everything else the prices will drop after all the early adopters jump. There will be more choices and lower price points.

3. go to settings/applications make sure fastboot is unchecked (on 2.2.1)

4. power off

5. push and hold volume down and power till you get into hboot

Back up your contacts through your gmail, back up your photos/music/videos to your SD card if by default it isn't saved.
