Lil Buger is hard to track down, a while ago, I was trying to do a clear transparent status bar...could not find it and simply used launcher pros hide status bar function. Hope you get what you want. I'm having a ***** of a time trying to modify Rosie for landscape. So I feel for you.

Thanks. And yeah, that sounds like fun lol. Good Luck.

I have a kingdom port and am able to get it in landscape, just can't put any damn sense widgets in it. Other widgets, no problem. I believe it's a combo of XML and smalli code, just like your statusbar work. The new sense 3.0 is a fucxxxing tangle web..one thing effects others and there is no modular base to it. I am used to code and developing a mindset to work with both XML based rules and code is new. It's like learning oop programing again. I wish you luck also.

Cant get VRZ file to work.

Hello,

I am trying to run threw this to reset my R2D2 Droid 2. When I try and download the VRZ_A957_2.4.5_1FF_01 file from the the link you provided all I get is a rar file that doesn't work on RSD Lite. Am i missing something on the download sight for the VRZ file?

Sorry for my stupidity I forgot a rar file is a compressed file and I had to download win zip to decompress it. Don't deal with a lot of compressed files. Thank you for all this info will post if I got it to work.

Does this only work for the Motorola Droid R2D2 or will it work for the Motorola Droid 2 with the Gingerbread 2.3.3? Which I thought are the same phone except for the R2D2 add-on's.
[Droid 2 General] fatalfuryy:
ehrune - I am glad it worked for you. I will write a email to psouza and see what he says on it or ill look for an new update maybe it was a known issue which is now fixed

dfthompson - I own a droid R2D2 phone which is technically a Droid 2 with all the add-ins as you stated. I wrote the instructions because if you were like me and deleted all the bloat and junk off your phone (when you originally purchased it) you are unable to do the OTH gingerbread update because it will fail once you are doing the installation.

The file is for 2.2

[Droid 2 General] flashesbuck:
Ok so does this exe file get run from the computer or launch it from the phone?
[Droid 2 General] fatalfuryy:
Everything is done using the PC the only thing you need to do with the phone is plug it into the computer and to turn it on to go into the boot screen as instructed.

has anyone been able root the r2d2 since the .622 update hit? i recently had to get a new phone mailed to me from verizon and it came stock with the update
[Droid 2 General] thorhxc:
sometime last year, just after gingerbread 2.3.3 was released, i found it for d2 and flashed it to my r2d2 and it worked perfectly fine. so basically im have a d2 with an r2d2 shell, but i want r2 back. if i flash 2.3.4 would i get those features back? i know the new update breaks root and i'm fine with it (i dont really use it for anything anyway.) but will that brick my phone?

edit: i also haven't received the .621 update, which is why i want 2.3.4. I'm not sure if maybe I did something wrong during the original flashing or something, but whenever I go to system updates it says I'm up to date.
[Droid 2 General] underlord28:
The sbf you used probably was not set up to receive OTA's. To my understanding most are not which is probably why you aren't seeing the available updates. Also the r2d2 got the. 622 version for 2.3.4 which is not available as an sbf yet

So I rather ask here than on the evo 3d thread,

Went over my 30 day trial and I'm only on 33 days but sprint doesn't want to trade the evo 3d to this new phone

Any advise so I don't pay all 499 retail price for it I really dislike the evo 3d because of many reason ( I know I can sell the evo 3d n than buy this phone )

But any other way without having to pay an extra 250 or for it? In top of what I get from the evo 3d after I sell it

Just love the reviews of this phone and yes it beats the hell out of the evo 3d...

While watching the FSU/Oklahoma game, a teaser came on for a new wireless carrier launching on September 26th.

Does anyone know anything about this? Here is a picture of the end of it I found on Twitter.

You really can't buy spectrum and build towers all over the country without a huge fcc paper trail. If its a "new" carrier, then its certainly a MVNO who is reselling access to one of the existing wireless networks.

Even that has a paper trail and I can't find anything about it. Just really curious as to who it is.

[General Questions and Answers] silverfang77:
I'm getting rather frustrated with the whole Facebook and Android experience. I have used the official Facebook app, Flow for Facebook, which became FriendCaster and the Facebook Notifications app.

We all know the official app only works sometimes for notifications. FriendCaster and the notifications app work better, however not 100%.

For about the past three weeks now, whenever I would post a link on my wall and someone would comment on it, I would receive an email from Facebook saying so, but would never get a push notification of it on either FriendCaster Pro (using Gmail or K9 Push), or Facebook Notifications.

If someone commented on a regular Wall post I made (no links), those comments will come to the applications as push notifications.

I just don't understand what the difference is between a comment on a regular Wall post and a comment on a link Wall post. I figure since both apps fail to receive notifications of comments on the latter, that it must be something on Facebook's end.

Would someone with a greater knowledge of all things Android, Facebook and push have any insight on this?

Thank you.

Facebook Push Notifications

I'm no expert in Facebook or even Android (I'm a noob:D). However, I have heard the same exact issues on iphone, blackberry, and windows phones. I must agree that this is no doubt a facebook issue. I carry both an Android for pleasure and a Blackberry for work. I have tried the application on both personally and have experienced the lack of reliable notifications on both operating systems.

Hope that helps!

Lance
[General Questions and Answers] silverfang77:
I remember the notifications being very reliable with the BlackBerry app. Perhaps I'm remembering through rose tinted glasses. I wish FB were like Twitter, where the notifications just worked.
[General Questions and Answers] stylez:
There has been an article on portle about this and how people who had crackburrys previous should get the same reliability as previous check if still have bb authorised in fb as that was what some users found solved problem, I find issues with notifications not just limited to fb as g+ can be the same wonder if just a problem regarding process and sleep of device.

Thanks for the info guys!! It has been a while since I tried facebook with the old blackberry so maybe the issues I had got ironed out. If I ever try it again on there I will make sure facebook has access.

I have made a lot of searches and read a lot about battery calibration... and of course i know what the hell is kernel panic, its definition and its symptoms.

However I still have some confusions and I hope some of you may be able to solve them:)

Maybe some of them are noobie questions but I honestly sorry for that also this may help others who has these confusions too:)

My situation:

The system stats are shown in my signature.

on 5/9 I have flashed franco.Kernel v19.4 bfs and then started a lot of OC tests,

finally I was stable on stress test (SetCPU) 729mhz for 2 hours non-stop,

and also I used the phone stably for over 24 hours without reboot.

However I faced a problem which is related to Darktremor scripts.

I used 2 weeks to solve it and finally it is gone now.

I started battery calibration which is the final process before I use my phone normally in my daily lives.

But in these two days, my kernel panics after ~4 hours of usage of 729mhz max CPU frequency.

without the need of advice, surely i have downclocked to 710mhz max and its all good. but however i am super curious about why 729 becomes from stable to unstable before and after.

1) Does battery stats related to kernel panics in ANY extent? if yes, how?

Ignore all questions under 1 if the answer is No.

1.1) Does wiping battery stats before flashing a kernel helps you OC higher?

1.2) Does wiping battery stats before flashing a ROM helps you OC higher?

1.3) Does wiping battery stats (for calibration purposes) has possibilities to produce kernel panics?​

2) Why is there a sudden drop of battery level (~4-5%) after kernel panics?

3) Is there any other possible causes of kernel panics BESIDES overclocking too high?

3.1) *2sd scripts?

3.2) ext4 barrier = 0?

3.3) inputting EXT4 data writeback?

(tune2fs -o journal_data_writeback /dev/block/mmcblk0p2)​

4) Is SetCPU the problem?

Some says "dont use SetCPU when you can overclock using CM7 settings."

Is that true?​

5) BESIDES the max speed, does it also depends on Governors?

Ignore powersave governor or others which forces the clock to the minimum frequencies.

So, is there any difference between setting the same maximum speed, different governors?

(for example) Would smartass gives a panic at 729mhz but ondemand doesnt?​

6) Does the "change of frequencies" gives easier kernel panics?

Situation A: 729min, 729 max

Situation B: 480min, 729max

In situation B, the system makes the frequencies change due to load, means it may switch from 480 -> 600 -> 729 -> 710 -> 691 -> 480 etc.

so does this "change of frequencies" makes the kernel loads more and finally gets it to panic?​

Thanks for your time reading and answering my questions!

Please just quote one of them if you would just like to answer one of the above :)

Thank you very much! :):)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] terratrix:
1) no.

2) It happens when u remove the battery and put it back.

3) There are some strange reports of kernel panic at 600Mhz which are weird. Sometimes Roms/kernel play a part(unknown).

4) it is because you can overclock in Cm7 settings menu, so no need to install another app such as SetCpu

5) Maybe, a governor who stays more on the highest frequencies i think are easy to panic because hardware can't handle it.

6) for me, i would say situation A would be easier to kernel panic, as it is constantly on the highest frequency and stressing your cpu too much that it can't handle it.

Since you get stable at 729mhz for 2h and panicked when 4h of use, that means the cpu can't handle 729mhz for above 4h.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Hanny:
@terratrix

thanks for your reply!! :) at least im not using my stupidity to wipe battery stats and trying to avoid kernel panics, lol.

@info update and conclusion after 1 more day of testing :D

And there, after some readings on the forum and the experiences myself, i think i have found the critical point already - QUESTION NO.5

Conclusion : kernel panics are related to governors, at least, our new amazing profiled one - SmartassV2!!

On the thread of Franco's .35 v1 kernel, there are some users reporting the panic issues faced with ONLY SmartassV2.

And me myself, has joined the party as well :D

Smartass(v1) has been my best bud all the time at 729mhz or even higher for more than 6 months. And when I left it and went to choose his next generation, my phone got a generation gap with Mr.V2, lol.

On my phone: (Franco.kernel 19.4bfs and no any reflash or stuffs between testings)

SmartassV2 ---

very unstable panics AND random shutdowns at random times

729mhz - sometimes 2 hours, sometimes 4 hours

710mhz - yeah I justnow kernel paniced with this also, you know how long after boot? 30minutes!!!

Why 30minutes? I suspect that it.is related to franco's network speed hack. I'm on EDGE data plan and because of Franco, I can enable HSDPA with 4x more speed.

On 710mhz, my phone was stable for over 8 hours with EDGE on (I intended to save battery), but after a reboot (manual one for some other purposes) I started to use (the hacked) HSDPA. After 30 minutes, panic. I remembered when I was at 729 on smartassv2 I panicked after 3 hours and at that time I was using HSDPA too.

Smartass (v1) ---

Well now I'm on smartass v1 at 729mhz stably typing this message. Funny huh...?

Results:

Franco's network speed hack

OR

3G network/HSDPA network

OR

Even just because of specific phone hardwares

IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE ALMIGHTY SMARTASS-V2 GOVERNOR AND WOULD RESULT IN KERNEL PANICS AT THE FREQUENCIES WHERE THE PHONE CAN BE STABLE WITH OTHER COMMON GOVERNORS.

If I am wrong or you can confirm this by testing yourself, please let me know!!! :) thanks and hope I have provided some useful information ;)

Goodnight and I'm going to continue working with my old friend smartass-v1 despite v2 has better profiling tweaks, lol :p
[Optimus One, P500, V General] logo_32:
Dude, as i had mentioned earlier in franco's thread, that it had to do with the governors... cause i usually try and find out the cause of the issue myself before posting a bug.. :D

SO all i tried were playing around with the performance settings... and i start off with changing the governors... the best targeted experimental ones are MINMAX (my personal fav), SMARTASS, SMOOTHASS (now removed but one AWESOME governor), and INTERACTIVE-X (rewritten by franco i guess).... About the frequencies... from what i have observed so far apart from reading stuffs is that, at 729 Mhz our optimus DOES pretty much stay stable even in the ****TIEST devices.. LOL i can say that cause we indians get the crappiest hardware of all... the point is... if you got a kernel panic at 729, it is most likely that you would get it again at 600 Mhz too cause its not overclock related..!!!

Bottom-line: Avoid SmartassV2 unless your phone is made of the finest hardware i.e. you can easily overclock it to 806 Mhz (ive seen some users using it at this frequency without any issues at all .. :O ) Use Smartass older or Minmax instead...!! And avoid overclocking above 729..!!!

P.s.: mine works fine even at 768 BTW.... ;)

[Optimus One, P500, V General] deetailed:
SmartassV2 is kind of strange, at least in my phone. I notice my battery draining faster while I use it, and it's probably because it stays in the max frequency longer for some reason, despite screen off. I use NoFrills for my CPU setting and it has the ability to view stats, and when I'm using V2 it stays longer at the max than at the min (65 vs 35%). The opposite is true for Smartass v1, which to me makes more sense because my phone stays at standby more often than being used.

As comparison data, my phone with smartass v1 can typically be OCed up to 787 MHz. 748 MHz on v2 is stable, but I haven't extensively tested higher freqs.
