[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] big_limits:
I forgot to do a back up b4 flasing S.A.S (yeah I know sorry) and I want to do away with it and see how TKS Kernel runs on PWGB without it. How do uninstall/undo the changes without a nandroid or flashing the rom again and wiping all my data?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
I believe you just run a kernal cleaning script and reflash the tks kernal.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sendan:
Well you need to replace all the files that were changed with the stock ones, you can extract them from your original ROM download.

Get the stock files, paste them into the Universal Adrenaline ShotvXIX.zip and re-flash. And then delete any files that didn't exist before on your phone. (init.d files for sure and maybe others)

Oh and you can use 7zip to view and edit the .zip without extracting it.

---------- Post added at 04:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:30 AM ----------

I don't think a kernel cleaning script will delete the files in the init.d folder, so at the minimum I recommend deleting the init.d files that tweak the kernel.

Whats inside:

/system/bin - fugu binaries both from honeycomb 3.1(3.2 is on the way)

/system/lib - patched sqlites for better I/O performance

/system/etc/sysctl.conf - systclt.conf allowing compatibility with supercharger script

/system/etc/init.d/:

00remount - ext4 partitions

01acidsysctl - activating sysctl.conf

02kerneltweaks - NO_FAIR_GENTLE_SLEEPERS

03sdcardspeedfix - fixed sdcard read ahead to 3072

04sysctltweaks - tweaks governor, and kernel[/B
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
Oh I agree that kernal cleaning script wont erase the init.d file, thats just for reflashing the kernal. I thought I read a dev say that reflashing the kernal wuld overwrite the sas tweaks, but maybe i misread...

Is there a way to increase my RAM memory? I tried partition SD but it just increases my internal memory..

Thank you in advanced!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thanhbinh_lth:
maybe it have a software on market but i dont remember it :(
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JediDru:
Nope. From the factory we have a misleading 512mb. I say that due to the fact that something like 170mb is automatically eaten up by the Android system. Leaving us with a meager 340mb. In the beginning kernel makers were tweaking the amount we had available but it left other things broken. We can never have more ram available without ruining other processes. And adding a new chip of ram like a pc is absolutely out of the question. May I ask why do you need more ram? Are your homescreens widget city? I've needed to compromise which widgets I use but thanks to circle launcher makes it not half bad.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
One of the things that I do when I flash a new ROM is delete all the /system/apps that I do not use. Well, delete isn't really the right word. I move them over to a folder on my external, so just in case I ever want to reinstall them, I can just move them back to /system/app, wipe Dalvik and reboot and viola they are there. Another thing that I also do is if I don't know about a certain app and what it does, I'll use TBPro to freeze it and wait for a few days to see if there are any adverse effect. If not, then I'll uninstall, If so, then I will defrost and make note.

The reason I mention this is, aside from being in widget/homescreen hell, there are system apps that you may not need/use that are running and taking up unneccessary RAM. Example: If you never use Maps, then move it out and that service (locator- I think it is) won't be running in the background.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lien_atusrag:
There are times that I opened a lot of apps,some still runs in background even if i already closed it and it decreases the performance of my phone.. I have a friend who have a Samsung Ace and he was able to add up memory of his ram..I did the same thing and it just adds up on my internal SD... just wondering if that is something to do with tweaking.. by the way I'm on MIUI
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoffcorey:
Any of the "hacks" to get more memory on this phone will result in either lower performance or breaking something or both. That's why there's not anything around for "increasing" memory.

Any by the way, he probably added a swap partition on his phone, which NONE of the roms for vibrant support/have implemented.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JediDru:
Well try what I do. Im using startup manager and blocking which apps are allowed to startup without me starting them. Start up cleaner is free and appears to do the same thing. Much better than freezing in titanium because they are still useable. A VERY few apps might start up anyway but who cares you will be in much better shape overall.

[Vibrant General] MMcCraryNJ:
I'm trying to figure this out, but I cannot get a firm answer anywhere else.

I have a Vibrant (duh). I actually got it the day it was released. (July 13 of 2010? Something like that?). I like it, but time to move on. T-Mobile, like with so many other handsets in the past, has abandoned it.

I am planning on going over to Verizon for a few reasons. One is because I moved to a different part of the country and T-Mobile's service out here near the Atlanta area sucks. Constantly dropping calls, not getting calls, dropping down to EDGE for no reason, etc. Another is because I'm getting really tired of T-Mobile dropping support for all of their popular devices after 6-8 months. And the other is because the new Nexus device, which is heavily rumored to be LTE, intriques me.

My question is, say I waited until the end of December to switch over. I still have until that magical day in July to wait before my contract expires, but if I wanted to break it...how much would that be? I'm hearing all sorts of numbers...100, 200, 80-something. If someone could shed some light on their ETF policy, and perhaps ways to avoid it, I would be forever grateful.
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
If you have more than 180 days(6 months) left on your contract, then the ETF is 200.

If you have less than 180 days left on your contract, then the amount is reduced and begins to be prorated.

Additionaly, T-Mobile has made a change to their contract. Back in the day, if you moved to a Non-T-mobile area....they would allow you out of your contract without an ETF. T-Mobile no longer cares if you move to a non t-mobile service area, you are responsible for the ETF. Additionaly, if you move to a non T-Mobile service area, and you roam excessively they will cancel you and ask that you pay the ETF.

Carrier contracts are honestly bull****. There needs to be a class action lawsuit, because things just don't seem to jive about these contracts.

The above information is effective as of July 24, 2011.

For you....visit this link and click the correct date above for YOUR term-conditions.

http://www.t-mobile.com/Templates/Popup.aspx?PAsset=Ftr_Ftr_TermsAndConditions&print=true

Contracts/Renewels signed between June 28, 2008 and July 18, 2010....the following applies:

3. * Your Term of Service and Termination Fees. You agree to maintain Service with us for your minimum term (‘Term”). (Periods of suspension of Service do not count toward your Term.) After your Term, you will become a month-to-month customer. EXCEPT FOR MONTH-TO-MONTH CUSTOMERS, AN EARLY TERMINATION FEE WILL APPLY IF YOU CHOOSE TO END YOUR SERVICE BEFORE THE END OF YOUR TERM, OR IF WE TERMINATE IT EARLY. FOR SERVICE ACTIVATED, OR ACCEPTANCE OF A NEW ONE OR TWO YEAR TERM, ON OR AFTER 06/28/08, THE EARLY TERMINATION FEE IS: $200 IF YOU TERMINATE WITH MORE THAN 180 DAYS REMAINING ON YOUR TERM; $100 IF YOU TERMINATE WITH 91 TO 180 DAYS REMAINING ON YOUR TERM; $50 IF YOU TERMINATE WITH 31 TO 91 DAYS REMAINING ON YOUR TERM; AND THE LESSER OF $50 OR YOUR MONTHLY RECURRING CHARGES (including any applicable taxes and fees) IF YOU TERMINATE IN THE LAST 30 DAYS OF YOUR TERM. The Early Termination Fee is part of our rates and is not a penalty. The Early Termination Fee applies only to the extent permitted by law. Unless you request otherwise, your termination will be effective at the end of your current billing cycle. You will remain responsible for all fees and charges for your Service and usage through termination. If you bought your wireless Device from an independent T-Mobile dealer or other third-party vendor, they may charge a separate termination fee.

If I did my math correct, you have 9 months left on your contract, which is more than 180 days, you would owe the full 200. I would say wait until 6 months, for it to drop down to 100 then cancel if you really want to leave.
[Vibrant General] ferhanmm:
i can't wait to cancel t-mobile. the service in my new area is terrible, even though its green on their map. i'll be doing so around november when it drops to $100 for my etf.
[Vibrant General] gun:
In addition T-mobile charges tax on ETF. In my case it was 200 + 40 just for ETF.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] chiefroastbeef:
Hello guys,

I've tried the SGP plastic screens, the SGP Glas, as well as a few generic screen protectors.

I have been using the Glas for the longest time, very happy with it until dust seeped in beneath the Glas, and it bothered me so much that I took it off today. The Glas was great because it was easy to wipe of the oils, one or two wipes with my shirt or pants (trousers) and my Glas is free of smudges.

Now that I have put a plastic screen protector on, I find it very hard to remove the oil smudges even after multiple wipes with a cotton fabric.

Just wondering if you guys have any suggestions, thank you!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] nitishthelegendkiller:
even i am looking for something like this. Please suggest me a great screen protector!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] S0und_:
tiny hint: microfiber cloth
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mudferret:
I find the SGP Ultra Optics protector to be fairly good. There's a 99.9% reduction in finger print residue. I may clean it once every day or two with a lens cloth vs. many times daily with a naked screen. It looks and feels good.

I've used both Zagg Invisible shield and and IShieldz as well. These are both wet installs however. The Zagg was thicker and had texture, not unlike the appearance of brushed stainless steel, lots of parallel "scratches". I used this for a week before my first SGSII died. I wouldn't recommend the Zagg.

The Ishieldz was much smoother, thinner, looked better, and felt better. Alas my imperfect install got the better of me so I peeled it off. Not a fan of wet installs and these are more expensive than other options and they don't bring that much more to the table for the cost/hassle. If you don't mind a wet install, this is a good one.

Does the SGP Glas not form a perfect seal around its edge?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] chiefroastbeef:
Thanks for the input! I have used invisble shield on non touch screen devices, which worked okay, not a huge fan of the texture, and how lint will collect around the edges and the screen turns yellow after a while.

The glas is completely sealed, I thought it was stuck on pretty well, but three months into using it, dust started showing by the masses. So perhaps egg e glue have out, and dust got inside. I liked the glas, but won't buy another because if this.

I think I will buy the sgp optics, cheaper and everyone says it is good. Thanks!

I do have a micro fibre cloth, but I don't want to have to carry it everywhere. The great thing about the glas was that smudges were super easy to wipe off, and the screen had more clarity because of that. Basically, everytime I put the phone in my pocket, the pocket fabric cleans the screen. Pretty cool.

[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
From a hardware standpoint, webtop performs ok when compared to an equivalent netbook. Not too long ago those single core Atom netbooks could barely play youtube vids. The eyecandy is it main hindrance and the patch work coding doesn't help.

I've already discussed possible improvements with moto and there response was pretty much "webtop's awesome, everybody loves it, the hardware can't support a real desktop enviroment and who would want that anyway." My rebuttal was to show them my Photon running, at that time, a prerelease of Ubuntop using the lapdock. "We don't get it." was what I got in return at which point I walked away.

I have magazines on there and books, and with that screen...things are easy to read.

That being said, I'm hoping a 7" model of Xoom 2 is announced and or the Galaxy Tab 7 is price appropriate, because there is something incredibly utilitarian about a tablet the size of a paperback. My $.02.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Avazee:
I just got a new HTC Trophy and I have been doing extensive reading about unlock options, etc.

Just to give you a quick overview, I have dev unlocked my phone (as a student), and am running NoDo. I know that I cannot run ChevronWP7 on this phone as NoDo was required for CDMA networks.

My question is- can I somehow get a non-dev unlock (i.e., an unlimited sideload unlock) using Mango? I apologize if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find anywhere that detailed this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xenohart:
Hmm this question is better asked at the HTC Trophy section.

I'm still not that experienced so bare with me.

Lets see first if we can do something about this without Flashing your ROM.

First can you sideload 3rd Party apps? Say the U2M7720.XAP file on this thread?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1287505

Because from my understanding that Dev-Unlock = ChevUnlock ?

If you can sideload this app and use it then follow the steps on that thread to the letter and you should have Mango with Unlock + INTEROP-UNLOCK.

Now in case you can't sideload apps, only solution is to flash a ROM with Mango Jailbroken. Check these threads:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1269652

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1195647

Couple of tips:

1- If you choose the Flashing method, READ every single warning and step, you don't want to end up with a Bricked/Half-Bricked device.

2- Take a full backup before trying to mess around with your phone.

3- Have a copy of your original ROM, try hitting this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=924333

Let me know how it goes for you.

Thanks for the reply. After reading your post and looking at your threads, I am even more confused than ever. :(

So, yes I have already sideloaded 2 apps (not the one you referenced in your post)- I have a dev (student) unlocked phone, so I guess I can sideload up to 3 apps...

The 1st link - isn't that for phones that were unlocked via ChevronWP7?

Any assistance (and hand-holding :)) would be greatly appreciated.

Interop-unlock so I can sideload homebrews such as ACT or Registry Editor from Schaps and others. Dev-unlock does not enable you to sideload any homebrews.
