Now this is a handy wee app!

Check this out. Before installing this app get your hands on taskxp from the market (don't set it as your default launcher make your default what is already was). Reboot your device then click taskxp to check what apps have started (a lot!), also see the amount off free ram you have. But the app below actually works :)

Download the app from the link below. Disable user apps, and whatever system apps are starting (compare/check with taskxp). Reboot then check what apps have started, nice eh?

It took me just a couple of reboots to get it set up nice.

Note, stay away from installed apps all that does is uninstall.

Try it out, post here what you think.

[Desire Themes and Apps] xybadog:
Do you mean "TaskXP for Multitasking" and not "TaskXP"? Two totally different apps.
[Desire Themes and Apps] MJ-12:
No its not taskxp.

Click the link to get the app and give a try out :)

i wonder y i cant down load exe files on my HTC 7 pro, its new. I attempted downloading an application for banking which required java and it just did'nt even download. can any 1 help with some advice?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JiriDanihelka:
The system itself cannot handle exe files. It has no exe interpreter.

You can download any type of file using your application and save them into the isolated storage. But you cannot do anything more with them if you do not implement your own interpreter of the format.

1. i have s-off, using revolutionary

2. i did super cid

3. installed CWM and did ROOT

4. remove simlock using xda guide

5. i have stock rom 1.35.401.1

Can i update to 2.3.4 using this : RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.45.401.2_Radio_10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_208857_signed

or i need to use something else

will i lose s-off and cwm?
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
S-OFF no, cwm yes
[HTC Sensation] CdTDroiD:
Best to flash a stock build of 2.3.4 if you are already rooted and s-off see HERE
[HTC Sensation] izmenar:
so if i flash this stock rom (RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.45.401.2_Radio_10.56.9035 .00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_208857_signed)

i will lose root and cwm ,but i will not lose s-off even if the bootloader is updated from 1.17.0011 to 1.18.0000 ?
[HTC Sensation] izmenar:
also if i put my dlink router only on N the phone cant connect to the network , if its on B/G/N the connection is ok , anyone now why ?
[HTC Sensation] kenny0202:
My HTC Sensation is rooted and used the Daemon Controller to overclock my phone and it worked but after3 weeks. I tried to overclock it again but no numbers were shown all bars min and max were blank and i couldn't change it. only the governor was showing words. If anyone could help me fix the problem that would be awesome. Thanks
[HTC Sensation] lianw:
Did you update or install a new ROM?
[HTC Sensation] CdTDroiD:
You would have changed the kernel. some are not capable
[HTC Sensation] kenny0202:
how would i have to go from here to fix it ?
[HTC Sensation] Krayol:
What ROM do you use? I had the same problem with the early RevolutionHD ROMS.

I cured mine by removing any apps that did CPU management (I found two that I had added without realising). mike1986's post suggests that (and rebooting twice) is enough. I found it wasn't.

I *also* removed the Daemon Controller itself and then upgraded immediately to RevolutionHD 3.0.4. On start-up, I found all the values restored (and I immediately set it to 1.5GHz of course ;))

(I discovered earlier to my panic that removing daemon controller and then rebooting killed the phone needing me to re-flash it, so if you follow this path, have a new ROM ready to go!).
[HTC Sensation] kenny0202:
ye im on Android revolution hd 3.0.3
[HTC Sensation] Krayol:
That sounds the same as me then. Try uninstalling any custom stuff like the System Tuner Pro CPU section, SetCPU., Juice Defender Ultimates CPU Beta (or the million other similar apps), then install 3.1.0.

I think that you will find Daemon Controller starts working again.
[HTC Sensation] yazan86:
i think you have updated your kernel or somthing like this,,, this problem apeared when most of the ARHD users flashed the faux123 kernel,,,,,

but at this time MIKE1986 had fixed this problem in ARHD 3.1.0

you dont have to format your mobile,,, now just you have to clear your cash &dlvk cash and than flash the new ARHD 3.1.0 and you got it with the new daemon controller version,,,,:D
[HTC Sensation] kenny0202:
how do i clear out my cash and dlvk cash? when you say flashing do you mean by going in to clockwork recovery and thne installing the zip? thnks

[Defy General] moizsami:
hey i knw its a very noob question, but i would like to know if ice cream sandwich will be available for motorola defy or not ? i mean if not officially...will it be able by rooting and flashing a custom rom...cuz im still going to buy the phone nw and i dont want to be left behind other fones in couple of months...will this phone be a gud competitior for nect one to two years ?

waiting for ur replies :):):D
[Defy General] zakoo2:
we definitely wont have an official ICS update, but there's a good chance the cyanogen team will port it (IF our bootloader will be unlocked). or maybe someonell port it, hopefully. but our device is definitely capable of ics, as it wont have new requirements, so keep your fingers crossed!

EDIT: looks like the defy+ will have to get the update (cuz it will have been released less than 18 months before ICS), so... :)
[Defy General] pachuau86:
You wont get left behind in a couple of months, yet... and Defy is as capable as most of the top-end devices on the market today, all it needs is a team of good developers...

at the current rate that manufacturers are turning out new phones with better specs (dual core 1.4ghz - 1.5 ghz, 1Gb RAM, 8-12 megapixel cameras, super amoled screens with 4-5" screens, USB OTG, HDMI outputs, i dont know what they'll think of next, maybe coffee maker??), at more or less the same price, I dont think it will be a very good competitor in two years, but i think it will still be totally useable in two years.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] lukemovement1:
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR HAVE FASTBOOT AND RECOVERY FULL UNLOCKED BEFORE USE!!!!

so recently i have had my GT540 stolen, so i though next time ill SEMI-brick my phone over the air. i am currently developing an app that will;

1. listence for a text

E.g. "Brick Me PASSWORD IMEI"

PASSWORD would be your preset password

IMEI would be your IMEI number

2. upon receving this text it will;

extract the "erase_image" binary and erase your boot partition, then run "reboot -p" which will turn off your phone.

this meen that the phone wont be able to boot up the android OS, but it WILL be able to boot into recovery mode and fastboot mode.

So, this mean that a nandroid back up is required before testing. could anybody help me out with testing this app(i would but i wont have a new phone for a wile yet, awating the Nexus 3 release :D). Also an emulator doesnt have busybox installed, and wont install.

Download
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] -Grift-:
wowowowowowwowowow nice idea!!!you planning to make this a paid app on the market ????? :D well i want to help but im too busy studying for my end of year exams so maybe next time.....
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] lukemovement1:
thinking about it, but need to make sure it works first.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] nutterbg:
So, basically.. the software would screw up your phone, leaving it in a state where it's pretty easy to repair, and all your personal information would stay intact.. and just re-flashing a good boot.img would make your phone fully accessible again. Sorry, not a good idea, because any sensitive information you have on your phone would still be accessible(in the right hands anyway). The software's definitely not going to help you get your phone back, so I figure there's no reason for the data on it to stay intact. If you can figure out a way to wipe it AND screw it up, that would be more useful(sdcard too!). Also, having to rely on sending an SMS to yourself is also a bit useless, because no one in their right mind will leave the phone on, and with the SIM card in, so I'm thinking you should rather make the client(phone-side) application await commands not only from messages, but also from the internet(Of couse, I imagine that would require an online service, where the client stays logged in in order to keep an updated IP, and also that would mean more traffic on the monthly bill, but it's a small price to pay).

Just my thoughts on this.. the overall idea is great, but you should at least consider a different method of activation(rather than SMS). Good luck.

P.S. Actually.. when i think about it. You could also pair the client with the current SIM card, so when and IF that's replaced, and the phone is turned on, it sends a message to some other predefined number with the new card's number, and you could operate with that. There was a software for Symbian UIQ(and probably not only) that did exactly this.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] lukemovement1:
Good ideas, will work on erasing all data, and damaging the sdcard. not shore on how well it would work though because my app would be in the data partition.

update: ok, so i managed to wipe the sdcard and data partition, any idea on deleting all the partition with busybox?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] lukemovement1:
ill wait till i get a new phone to test it. thanks ofr your suggestion nutterbg
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] ChriisM:
theres an app out there atm called Seekdroid, it can track your phone to within 30metres, lock it , wipe sd , wide anything as a matter of fact and u can cancel everything the user wants to do. Check it out , all u do is log onto a website to find it
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] nutterbg:
Sorry, not a developer, so I've no idea.:D I do good as a common-sense-endowed-person though. :p I doubt it's possible to damage the sd card.. irreperably anyway, and I'm guessing you wouldn't want that(how does one test that?:D), but yeah, wiping it is more than enough. :)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] lavero.burgos:
Or androidlost app FREE!

http://www.androidlost.com
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] eoghan2t7:
you could make the app that has a update.zip in it and use recoverys extended commands to reboot into recovery and auto flash the zip that has a .sh and the flash_erase file in it to erase the system/data/boot partitions just an idea ;)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] nibras_reeza:
Hmm. Nice idea. But, it is kind of risky if implemented correctly.

You can modify erase_image to remove recovery, data and cache partitions. This way it will do a remote wipe as well.I believe it would be possible to mess up the boot loader as well rendering the phone completely useless.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] nutterbg:
Hm, you got me thinking.. Does a phone with a messed up bootloader(obviously no fastboot, no regular boot, no recovery) still boot into Download Mode(no battery)? I wonder if the bootloader's responsible for that too... otherwise you could render the phone not only completely useless, but irreparable, and I'm not sure we want that... Or how we can test that without losing a phone.:D
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] nibras_reeza:
Depends on how much you damage the boot loader. If you fully wipe it, the phone would become useless. The only way to fix it would be writing directly to the motherboard in super-dev mode using special equipment. I don't know if this is supported by LG Optimus though.

Nonetheless, after reading this, I got a cooler idea. Why shouldn't we write a trojan and inject it to a system core apk? Perhaps to the browser or location service?

This way we could find the location of the phone even after a factory reset provided the system apks were not replaced. ie, when the thief finally sells it and someone else uses it, we would be able to track it and get it back. Also, we can have a feature to wipe user data and a complete destruction mode where we damage the phone beyond repair.
[Xperia Play General] Cat_On_Droid:
Imo people were disappointed because in the initial release it was laggy and it took alot of time to boot. And alot of features missing like 5MP HD or no zoom.

Hackers fixed that of course.
[Xperia Play General] subcu1ture:
If I was on any other phone I would only be playing angry birds because I hate touch screen controllers that take up precious screen realestate..

Xperia Play <3
[Xperia Play General] hasaan6545:
Well it wasn't laggy and didn't boot up slower than Galaxy and other models out there.

People were mostly annoyed with the lack of a dual core chipset, claiming that better ones were out there. That's what most reviewers said. But in reality, there is much more to the Xperia than meets the eye ;)

Agreed! :)

One inch or more of the screen is accounted for when using touchscreen controls.

Xperia Play's controls give a big-screen experience!
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
No not at all. Like cat said, when the play was first released. Alot of the disapointment came from bad firmware and a lack of support from sony game wise. I don't know any1 that was disapointed in the H/W. We all knew that the scorpion chipset and adreno 205 was a good match for any mobile CPU/GPU combo on the market ATM! :)
[Xperia Play General] lcw1980:
Er... from the video i dont see how the xperia arc was playing 720p video smoothly? If anything it was choppy as hell. It was the HTC incredible that pulled off a smooth run. Do explain.

2ndly can the xperia play play a 720p video smoothly? If yes which format? mkv? avi ? mp4?
[Xperia Play General] Miles Wolf:
- Best gaming device.

Yes. The controls make the difference.

- Best ultimedia device.

Lol no. Where's the video output (remember that near ALL Xperias have HDMI output)? Where's the HD video recording? Where's the native support for more advanced video formats like MKV? Etc.
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
play can play 720p in any format easly .....
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
The play has native support for quicktime formats....

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3775
[Xperia Play General] hasaan6545:
Well i was talking about most reviewers like CNET etc, they had a go at the processor and GPU.

Take a look at the blogpost and the video again and you'll get the point.

The video whose link i posted does not have Xperia Arc, it has HTC Incredible which has the same chipset as the Arc, and it performed better than the other dual core ones.

The video Qualcomm posted at their official site had Xperia Arc, and there they claimed the same thing.

Anyway, Xperia Play can play 720p perfectly for almost all formats, best being mp4, mov etc. Others can also be played well if you've a decent video player. MX Video Player (optimized for ARM Neon processors) and Vital Player work best. Try them, you'll like it :)

I agree on the TV out stuff, but apart from that, Xperia Play is great. Mkv native support isn't much needed, it works perfect with fast Software Codec. Try MX Video player.

Besides, Xperia has great display and stereo sound quality which most others lack. and you can still view your media files on Bravia TV via Wifi.

With a bunch of plus points, it does make up for the few limitations that it has, and it's a great multimedia package overall!
[Xperia Play General] lcw1980:
Really? I own one and cant get it to play 720p video files smoothly. Esp mkv formats.

Pray tell me which player you use?

I see no connection with xperia play in the apple website you posted?
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
i use mobo player is awesome :D Look on the back of the box, it says it a quickime cerified device. That website just shows quicktime compatable formats :p
[Xperia Play General] lcw1980:
i use moboplayer too but even 720p mkv anime playback is laggy. I even downloaded the arm7 codec already. any tips?
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
when your on the main screen, go into setting and set it to software render mode ;)
[Xperia Play General] lcw1980:
hmm still have audio sync issues.
[Xperia Play General] kupo5131:
Strange, I watch at least 1 720p file a week. Never had a problem with Mobo. I haven't download any extra add ons just the main app. What file types are you using?
[Xperia Play General] Deoxlar:
Blue ray quality rmvb format lags for me but it plays other HD files fine
[Xperia Play General] lcw1980:
mkv file h264 encoded.
[Xperia Play General] speedyink:
Those are pretty lame points. I would have gone with SAMOLED Screen, but meh.

How often really, have you or would you plug in your phone to your tv? I have a freakin computer, ps3, wii, and digital cable connected already, why on earth would I need my phone on there as well?

HD recording would be nice, but it's nothing tragic. And it's not like it's technically impossible.

Otherwise, I agree with the OP. The screen while not the very best out there, it's still pretty damn nice. The speakers is what really makes it, I can't think of a single phone out there that even steps close to the Play in this respect. I never wear headphones with this thing, because it sounds great! Be it NES, PSX, Music, Videos, anything, it has high frequency response which means full sound, plenty of amplification, very little distortion at high volumes, and because there's two of them, you get stereo sound.

When I hear multimedia, I think picture and sound. Even though the screen isn't the best it makes up for that in the audio department. It's definitely up there in the multimedia department.
[Xperia Play General] Miles Wolf:
Meh, no. It has a lot of ghosting.

The Xplay is a good device, but please, don't say it's the best Multimedia device.
[Xperia Play General] hasaan6545:
@speedyink

Agreed!

As i said in my previous post, try the fast Software Codec in MX Media Player (it's optimized for ARM Neon Processors) or the speed mode in Vital Player.

The display is okay. Compared to HTC and Samsung displays, it doesn't seem pixelated at a glance. The edges of pixels are softer and the display is flawless. Besides I wasn't just saying that the Xperia Play is the best device in the multimedia section, i meant to say that it's the best gaming AND multimedia device in One package. Even then, it still fares well in the multimedia category due to it's many plus points.
[Xperia Play General] speedyink:
I didn't say it's the best, I said it's up there. In my opinion it's impossible for anything to be the best.

As for the video debate:

MX Player seems to have trouble with 720p x264 .mkv; no sound, choppy video (although significantly less choppy than moboplayer with the same file). It did, however, play a 720p xvid .avi file extremely well. Smooth, and perfect sound.

Vital Player has less trouble with 720p x264, it has sound and the video is less choppy. But it's still fairly choppy. It also played the 720p xvid .avi perfectly.

Despite this definitely the best players available, but mkv is just not possible. I'm not too surprised, it's hardly an efficient codec speed wise.
[Xperia Play General] hasaan6545:
Have you tried the "fast SW Codec mode" in MX player and the "Speed Mode" in Vital player? I think that should work well since I've been using them without problems for watching movies, including MKV format. RockPlayer (latest version 1.7.x) also has a good codec support but the interface isn't so polished.
[Xperia Play General] lcw1980:
I played fastfive 720p mp4file encoded with avc1 this time. Mx player(arm7 codec) outperforms moboplayer and vitalplayer in sw decoding but all outright hangs in Hw mode. Still, MXplayer stutters abit with audio sync issues after 2 minutes of playback.

I then tried Diceplayer and :eek: it was butterysmooth with default player. Can only play 720p mkv files in software mode but with slight audio sync issues. Problem is it isnt free

Anymore ideas? This isnt cool...:(
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
I think doomlord will soon be working on porting arc camera app and 720p to the play :p
[Xperia Play General] FK1983:
Do you actually have one? sounds like you don't with all your strange points :p

I have had MANY devices and tried many of the newest ones, none come close to the play as an overall gaming and multimedia device, galaxy 2? don't make me laugh lol!
[Xperia Play General] FK1983:
Really?! :eek: :D
[Xperia Play General] Pjay12:
Hey! Im sad to say, I do not own an Xplay.. But after reading this thread and a few others in the general/ android dev section Im thinking WOW HOT DAMN I want this phone! Also, I have a LOT of questions about this phone so is this anyone here with the time and patience to answer my questions for me? via PM perhaps?
[Xperia Play General] Mozza2k11:
What kind of 720p are you trying to play? I have had no trouble playing h264 .mkv files upto 2500Kbps (no audio lag and even rendering subtitles) using moboplayer. Use http://www.videohelp.com/tools/MediaInfo to see the Kbps of the file your trying to play if its over 2500Kbps its probably not going to work. Btw most bluray film rips are 4000Kbps+.

IMO SD vs 720p the difference is hardly noticeable. You may be better off using SD or even looking for SD bluray rips.

Also thanks hasaan6545 for taking you time to write your opinions on the xplay. I agree with it being the best gaming and multimedia device, seriously what phone out there is better for the combined package? It does everything i want it to do anyways :) It should have had this sort of review when it was realesed :rolleyes:

@Pjay12. It may be better for you to post your questions here. Since if the person you a pm'ing does not know the answer someone else is bound to.
[Xperia Play General] Pjay12:
1. Well.. I see there are different types of xperia play phones. R800i, R800a, Z1i and If like to know what the best one is. I need GGSM, not CDMA.

2. Do all the most demanding HD games work flawlessly on this phone?

3. How stable is the phone overclocked to 1900 MHz like I saw in DoomLords thread?

4. Best ROM?

5. Custom kernel?

6. Best Benchmarks?

7. Does the BRAVIA engine work?

8. How is the performance of the phone in general? If possible, compared with the other top smartphones out there (SGS2, optimus 2x, arc, atrix)

9. How is the camera? (personal opinions - night time shots, video recording, everything else)

10. Are there any problems with the phone?

11. Based on personal experience - how are the PS controls?

12. Is bootloader officially cracked?

13. Will the specs of this phone be outdated soon or will it keep up with the future releases?

14. Edit- almost forgot.. how is the sound quality? I read about 2 speakers resulting in awesome sound, is it actually all that great?

I have plenty more questions :D :D Just dont want to spam too much.
