[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Synergies14:
Trapzz, my apologies for not responding to your post back on the 17th. As to question 1, the answer is no. The smartass governor throttles your cpu frequency based on the min/max frequencies you have set in Setcpu for when the screen is off, even if the screen is on and your not using any performance hog apps. The smartass governor is alot better at throttling between the frequencies than any of the other governors. For example, while your screen is off, it will have the cpu using the minimum frequency, even if the screen is on and your looking at text messages, it will only raise the frequency untill the text messages load and then it will scale back down after its done loading. Other governors keep the frequency raised the whole time your in your text messages, even after its loaded, untill you exit it and turn the screen off.

As for question 2, you shouldnt have any profiles set while using the smartass governor, as how the smartass governor works, you dont need any profiles set. Smartass takes care of it all on its own.

As for question 3, im not exactly sure how to rank each governor based on performance/battery life besides other than conservative is used for battery life, and performance is for performance and not saving battery. But with how smartass works, its auto scales the frequencies automatically. Its the best for saving battery, but its also best for performance as it scales to the highest frequency you have set and keeps it there for as long as your app needs it.

Hope i helped answer what you were asking! If you need anything else or any other questions feel free to reply or shoot me a personal message.

hi, Synergies14.. thanks for getting back to me.. no need to apologize, but thanks anyway.

you said that i shouldnt set any profile while using the smartass governor. i'm a bit confused. what exactly do you mean? do you mean that i shouldnt enter any values for the 3 wake and sleep states?

and do you also mean that i shouldnt set 'smartass' for sleep governor?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Synergies14:
You are running Setcpu, correct?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Synergies14:
My apologies, it seems that your not, your actually manually editing files for it. I dont have access to a computer right now but i will soon and i will help you futher.

Alright, i apologize, i got a bit confused myself there. Judging from your Rom and what the Devs of it say, DO NOT install setcpu like i have mentioned. You will need to install a terminal app. You can go to the market and search for the app "Android Terminal Emulator" and install it. Then in the terminal app, type in "cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors" (without the quotation marks) and that will give you a list of available governors to use. Tell me the list of governors it gives you. Then type in "cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies". That will tell you the available Min/Max frequencies that your phone will allow. Tell me the list of frequencies that it gives you. Then i shall help you from there after providing that info to me.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Synergies14:
Actually can you update your Rom first? if you haven't updated it, there is an update for it that came out a few days ago, before we do anything i want to make sure you have the latest piece of the software.(updating might actually help with the call vibration issue your having too). If you update it, tell me if you have a custom kernel installed or if you leave it with the stock kernel that the rom uses. The type of kernel you use will affect your available frequencies and also if everything is outdated. After you update your Rom, look to see if there is a program on there called "Daemon Controller". If not, then follow this link http://bit.ly/oDeBtV and install the .apk on your phone. This is the new graphical UI for changing and managing your virtuous_oc so you dont have to manually edit the files yourself.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trapzz:
hi synergies. the problem with the update to my rom (virtuous unity), is that its got some issues. but i'll install it. and hopefully i wont experience the same issues.

one other important thing.. how do i do a EXT4 wipe?

.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Synergies14:
I recommend doing a full nand backup before upgrading so that way if you do run into any issues that you dont like, you can just restore from that nand backup. What Recovery are you using?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trapzz:
hi synergies.. i'm backing up through booting into recovery.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Synergies14:
Thats good. I need to know what recovery your using so i can help you with doing a ext4 wipe.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trapzz:
hi synergies.. i dont understand your question. the recovery i use is the one rooted users use... i boot into recovery and choose backup and restore and then backup my phone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Synergies14:
There are different types of recovery that have different names, when u boot into your recovery it should tell you the name and version of the recovery your using
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trapzz:
hi, synergies. i got clockworkmod revovery v3.0.2.5.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Synergies14:
Alright, when you boot into recovery, as always, make a nand backup (as you've said you have already). When you wipe, please note that everything will be erased from your phone including all apps and settings, EVERYTHING. Also as a precaution, ALWAYS go into your contacts in your phone and select to export them to your SDcard. Then connect your phone to your computer and copy EVERYTHING thats on your sdcard to your computer (easily make a folder on your desktop, then select everything on your sdcard, copy it and paste it into the folder). This is so that all your contacts and all your pics/videos and your nand backup are backed up on your computer just incase the wiping process does completely wipe your sdcard (i highly doubt your sdcard will be erased, but its always good practice to take extreme caution as accidents do happen). Then copy the new Rom's zip file onto your sdcard.

*Once you have done all this, boot back into your recovery.

*From the main menu, select "wipe data/factory reset".

*Once that is done, select "wipe cache partition".

*Once that is done, select "mounts and storage".

*In that menu, select "format system".

*Once that is done, select "format data".

*Once that is done, select "format cache".

*Then, judging that you have ext4, i assume your sdcard is partitioned and has the ext on it, if you do, then select "format sd-ext".

*Then go back to the main menu.

*Select "advanced".

*Select "wipe dalvik cache".

*Return to the main menu. Now to install the rom!

*Select "install zip from sdcard".

*Select "choose zip from sdcard".

*A list will appear of the files on your sdcard, select the rom's zip from the list.

*It will ask to confirm installing the zip, go ahead and confirm.

*Once it is done installing, you should be back at the main menu, if not, navigate back to the main menu.

*Select "reboot system now" and you should now reboot into the new ROM. If you have any issues during this process with any of the steps let me know!

also, to get your contacts back into your phone, judging that your sdcard wasnt erased, go into your contacts and select to import from sdcard and you should be good to go!.

Hi members of XDA! :)

I have a problem... Last night I was sending some SMS, went to sleep (for 3 hours), woke up for some reason, no idea why, wanted to check my phone, and I couldn't unlock it. The digitizer wasn't responding to my touches.

I tried restarting it, no luck either.

Then I flashed a new ROM (went from WP7 to Android), still no luck.

I tried with & without SD card and Sim card

With & Without charger

I have no warranty on this phone.

Is there something I can do before using this phone as an expensive paperweight?

PS: I'm in Europe, using tmous hd2 if that's any help.

Thanks in advance!

-h0ng

UPDATE:

I just managed to slide and unlock the phone ONCE, then I locked it again to see if the digitizer was still working, but no..... :( it's dead again.
[HD2 General] Decoid:
Same exact thing happened to my phone.. The digitizer is dead (some say that it's becuase we use the "hang up" button to shut off our screen. The key is located directly above the flex printplate from screen and digitizer to the mainboard..)

I sent mine to some repair shop in UK (I live in Denmark)
[HD2 General] h0ng:
Thanks for the reply!

I would like to know, which "repair shop" is this?

Could you give me a link? :)

Thanks !

[HD2 General] Decoid:

[HD2 General] xabhi:
same

I gave yesterday:(.mine too died on me.will take one week.under warranty though.

how much it cost if its jot under warranty any idea??:confused:
[HD2 General] dion20:
same thing happened to me, and I stumbled across a post from googling it alot, and they said that they could get it to work by mashing the power button, and low and behold it did....temporarily...then my touch screen completely stopped working. I replaced it myself (got it cheap off ebay and it came with a new screen, and the buttons since I ruined those too mashing into them with a pen), and viola, phone has a brand new screen/touchscreen/buttons and has been working great...
[HD2 General] h0ng:
Great news!

I contacted htc, mainly for the lulz, to see what outrageous prices they would want to fix this digitizer.

Anyway, as I called them, the woman on the phone asked me for my IMEI, I gave her that, and she said it was wrong.

I then gave her my S/N, wrong too. (WTF ???)

She just mailed me, saying the IMEI is wrong, but the S/N is correct (tied to another IMEI), and that this phone still has warranty (again WTF ???) ! :o

Sooo.. someone will pick it up on monday, free replacement, ooooooo yeah!

And now.. back to flashing stock rom etc :x
[HD2 General] Jake254:
Lucky sod! I dropped mine two days ago and the screen smashed :-( So upset! Don't think I'm clever enough to open it and put on a new digitiser myself so will have to get it repaired when I can afford it :-(
[HD2 General] h0ng:
Yeah, the first time in my life I'm lucky... :o)

Anyway, that link that was posted before ( www.htcphonerepairs.co.uk ), I contacted them, and got this mail:

Seems really good. I would've of used them if HTC didn't wanna do it for free, haha.

Another option for those of us who tether or use wifi. Look on the market for syncsms. It syncs your phones texts to your ds7 over any internet connection. It does require you using dropbox though.
[G2 and Desire Z General] makken85:
Now I love my DZ; it is by far the most capable phone I've ever owned, but it has this nasty habit of failing me whenever I seem to need it the most.

For example, today I was stuck behind a huge accident on the highway with an exit coming up in a few feet. I thought, "hey I'll just see if I can find a detour around it from this exit." Pulled out my phone and quickly launched google maps. right then, it completely stops responding to all touch input; the trackpad and physical buttons work fine, but nothing was registering on the touchscreen or capacitive buttons. I eventually had to pull the battery to fix the issue.

It just seems that these things tend to happen whenever i need to lookup something quickly on the phone (when im just screwing around on it, it works perfectly fine) be it completely not responding to touch input, or something weird happening like getting stuck between 2 homescreens, or the notification panel gets stuck halfway down, or massive input lag (5+ seconds) to the point of it not being usable.

And everything goes back to normal after a reset; but by then, I usually don't need to lookup whatever it was anymore.

The most frustrating part is that I can't seem to figure out whats causing it. I'm running virtuous 2.0.0 without any sense 3 additions, and I generally only have 1 or 2 tasks going on on the phone at once (usually just music player + whatever I'm doing). I originally thought it was just a performance issue, so I've increased the clock up to 1.5ghz (using daemon controller) but it hasn't has of an effect.

Any ideas on what else i can try?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Nipqer:
Sounds like simple bad karma, I suggest donating to a charity or going to church :)

Other than that, I'd have no idea, sorry. Seeing as its not totally regular, there'd be no good way to easily pinpoint the issue. Maybe see if the rom produces a last_kmsg?

-Nipqer
[G2 and Desire Z General] skulk3r:
although people say roms are 'stable' and can recommend these ROMs as "dd" (daily drivers) you cannot say that will be completely reliable. This is because when people say a ROM is 'stable', it's only after using it for 2-3days; unfortunately, roms gather clutter and begin to slow down over time. Not a problem for many flashaholics, but a problem if you're a one-rom kinda guy (or girl). So if you're not one-night-stand rom kind of person, here are some tips:

Reset your phone regularly. Phones start acting funny when they've been on for too long

Try stock ROM with addons flashed on top of it, rather than baked in a new rom

Most reliable roms i've experienced are Stock Gingerbread or CyanogenMod. Try those

If you are flashing a new rom, use SuperWipe, this can help get rid of clutter from old roms
[G2 and Desire Z General] makken85:
Hmm, so you believe that this is purely a rom issue?

I havent run a stock rom for a while, but from what i remember the experience wasnt that pleasant, there was significant lag almost everywhere in the ui. Although i will admit that was back with froyo; i havent tried a stock gb stock rom yet.

Ill probablygive cm7 a go. Ive just grown so used to some sense features that its going to be hard for me to give them up (mainly recent apps in notifications, news widget, t9 dailer+manually linking contacts, and remote ring and forward on htcsense.com)

Has anyone had similar issues running virtuous sense 2.0.0?
[G2 and Desire Z General] MarkyG82:
As far as recent apps goes, long pressing the home button is a standard feature of android that brings up the most recent. Stock is the last 8 (I think) cm7 can show 15.
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
Higher overclocking will make your phone LESS stable, not more. I'd stick around 1 GHz, as this is known to be very stable on most Z's, and usually does not result in any significant additional battery drain. OC may not have anything to do with your random hangs, but its probably not helping either.
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
I'd agree. I really wouldn't ever go over 1.2ghz for a daily driver personally.

I run my ROMs at 800mhz lol, so I don't see the advantage of a huge overclock unless you're just bragging about benchmark scores.
[G2 and Desire Z General] nonione:
its funny when u wanna show off your phone and you take it out of your pocket acting all cool and stuff and when u press the power button it wont wake up or you get a blank screen

haha its just bad karma for u like nipqer said
[G2 and Desire Z General] killj0y:
Try the stock pre-rooted gingerbread...I just flashed t last week and it is way faster than my froyo was, and amazing battery life, for me anyways, I do have an extended life battery though lol. Anyways as far as speed it is snappy on 800 mhz
[G2 and Desire Z General] makken85:
I've noticed the random hangs / glitches @ 800Mhz and 1Ghz, so I'm hesitant to say that the OC is the cause.

What do you use for stability testing? I've been running quadrant nonstop to test new OCs, but I don't think that benchmark stresses the cpu enough.
[G2 and Desire Z General] swinderz:
i am running Virtuous v2.0.0 w/ kernel unity v6 on it on desire z.

i've found bugs like

1/the top black bar ui, top left corner, some times i see the background wallpaper rather than the black bar. but it goes away if i pull down the notifications.

2/ the mail with microsoft exchange active sync, if i delete the mail it will automatically resync and downloads all mail including the on i deleted. but i got around that by using pop/imac instead.

all rather minor as i got ways to go around it.

i did have a similar issue where the touch screen goes unresponsive and i had to force close it, restart phone to get it back alive. but then i readjusted the clock speed and never had it happened again.

the phone is at around 825mhz with governor smart ass on wake time max, unless im watching 720p movies on the phone then i ramp it up at 1.4ghz.

sleep time on 368mhz max with governor at conservative.

i had it on like this since 11/09/11 (as i made a rom backup) and it never occured yet.
[G2 and Desire Z General] makken85:
I've been playing with the wake min and wake gov settings the past few days. I have it set at 600Mhz min, performance gov; I haven't noticed much difference in the battery life, but I'll have to do more extensive testing to be sure.

Performance feels slightly better, especially after a fast wake. can anyone give a detailed explanation of the behavior of the different gov settings? I can't seem to find much info on it.

Yes, I was trying to follow the instruction but stuck at ramdisk repacking step by using azuzu provided repacking tool since I could not run it on my lappy (whenever I try to run the exe file, the cmd windows just pop up for a second and close itself so that I could not perform any command ). As I am a newbie and not able to post any thread in develpment forum, I have no choice but to ask around. It is much appreciated if you can guide me on this.;)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Dousan:
You need to open a normal cmd window on your pc/laptop and then 'cd' to the path of the .exe file you're referring to and need to execute the commands from.

It would be something like this when the cmd window is open:

cd \path\of\the\.exe (enter)

Then you will be able to execute your commands from there as postet by doomlord :)

Hope this makes sense.

Regards Dousan
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Ekusuperia:
Yeah, you are seem right. I should not execute the exe file directly but open a new cmd windows and fire the file name manually. But now I am having problem with using the script. azuzu has provided instruction but I just could not get what the actual parameter use to repack my ramdisk. By the way, it would help alot if you know any link to download custom splash screen image for the PLAY.

Sorry for my noob question and thanks a lot for your help.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockRatt:
Okay just wondering if there is a list of system apps and the lib that goes with them? I want to pull some apps from the miui rom on one of my phones and install them in my CM7 phone. For example when pulling an app from a samsung rom like LATINIME needs libjni_latinIME.so

So I am not sure if some of the miui apps will work on CM7 (thought they should since it is CM7 based). Some of the apk's I would like to try are:

Calendar.apk from miui

CalendarProvider.apk from miui

MiuiCamera.apk

MiuiMusic.apk

MMS.apk from miui

So does anyone know if/what lib files are associated with these files? If so could you please list them. I am NOT sure I would even stick with them as I am used to all the CM7 apps and the ONLY real CM7 app I would like to really change is the calendar. I also have had/used the miui camera alongside cm7's along with miui music also for many months. These apps are from miui 1.99 that I just flashed for the first time on my rom testing phone. If this thread could grow I would start a list of the apk files and associated lib files (and any other necessary file) so we can all have easy access to know which files are needed to replace them into system/app

Thanks ahead of time for any ideas.

Guess what?:eek::eek: the_laster had make a tool to restore the bootloader.

I found this here

It's a new s1tool. Download here View attachment 718206

So we can unlock the bootloader ,and restore it anytime we want.

Now we can do everything we want and without worry.:D:D

One more thing, after restore the bootloader our customer kernel will not boot,so you have to use the stock kernel.

Cheer!!!:D:D

And thanks to all great men here!!!

It's useless for you unless you want to relock the bootloader.
