[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jcracken:
I have a device with stock ROM, rooted.

I tried to install ubuntu and followed a guide I found on Google (not allowed to post links yet). The files to put on root of SD card would always be about four gigs in size. I would always try to run it through terminal, but it would hang on booting ubuntu.img. The first time, I just ended the Terminal process and tried again, but this would always happen. I ended up deleting the files using Android Mate, but the system told me that 5 gigs were still used up (even though before I tried installing Ubuntu less than a gig was used). I put the files back on the device, and tried to run it again, getting the same problem. I then deleted those files also (using the built-in My Files program). However, now the system says that 10 gigs are used up! Am I missing something, or is there a way to get my space back without formating?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pirateghost:
back up your files and format. in the amount of time you could find a solution, it would already be done the right way.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jcracken:
Never mind, I fixed it. Opening up the sh executable I found that it creates a temporary directory on the sd card, and deleting that gave me back my space.

Hello,

And please do not advise to use launchers. If it is still impossible or unknown - may be some place in HTC exists (forums/feature requests) where it is possible to ask about this ?

TIA

Rus
[HTC EVO 3D] Compusmurf:
Sadly you pretty much answered your own question. What you see is what you get with HTC Sense.

Other than sending an email to HTC (which you won't get a response to) asking for more, you're probably out of luck.

Unless, of course, you choose the alternate launcher route. ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] SfinxSoft:
As I see HTCDev is the only place where it should be possible to ask - but it has no forum !
[HTC EVO 3D] drgonzo712:
On the EVO 3D with Sense 3.0 there is no way to add panels. Sense 3.5 you can. There are a couple of Sense 3.5 ROMs in Alpha/Beta out there.

As a work-around (if you really need all that real estate): make folders. Each folder essentially is a new home screen once opened. You can't use widgets with this, but that's what your "real" homescreens are for.

Hi guys, noob here :p

I currently have a Blackberry curve which is coming up to 2 years old and i'm thinking its time for an upgrade.

Ive seen this deal for a Desire S with TalkMobile which includes:

300 Mins

1000 Texts

1GB Data

All for £18p/m

Do you guys think this is a good deal? The only thing that worries me is the fact its for 24 months, will this phone still be up to the task in 2 years time?

Thanks :)
[HTC Desire S] Eclipse_Droid:
id say this is a great deal! go with it.

ive had my desire s now for just over 6 months.

still keeping me extremely entertained, and with the roms here on xda u will always have things to play with;)

its a great phone, and has great specs.:D
[HTC Desire S] chris5s:
I'd echo what previous poster said.

Also, the deal is 'ok', & there's a lot of 2yr contracts around atm.

As to whether the device will last the course, probably not. Well, think of what you thought of your Curve at the start of your last contract. Pretty good, huh? And now, not so good, lol. Things move on,right?

Peace

I got a better deal:

300 minutes. 1000 texts. 1gb data.

12 month contract, £25 a month. Phone cost £14.99.

I also got £50 quidco cashback, plus NHS discount.

Talkmobile network (Vodafone) bought it on 29th July from E2save.

I payed around £200 for the phone and contract. Pretty good deal I'd say.
[HTC Desire S] chris5s:
"NHS discount"? I'm intrigued, do tell :D

I got unlimited texts, 1gb data, 600 mins for £10/ month, but let's not start **** slapping, eh.

[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Wow, £10 a month is awesome! How longs your contract? Did the phone come free?

NHS discount is 40% NHS workers get for anything they use that they require for work :p

It's actually my dads discount that I took from (he does orthapaedics) so I get 40% off the phone.

I calculated it in total, and I only paid around £200... I say its a heck of a bargain!
[HTC Desire S] chris5s:

A big hello to the fans of this forum, I would like to explain my problem and I will so much appreciate your answers:

I try to flash-Android_Revolution_HD 4G_6.1.5 [ROM] on my HTC_Desire_S, after I reboot and waited several minutes, the screen remained blank with no access to my phone several times but no available and more when I reboot in recovery mode, i push on recovery but the screen remains blank and I can not access the ClockworkMod menu to uninstall the ROM bleow.!.

My God, what shall I do??:eek:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EraqEE:
This means you need to reinstall the recovery tool on your phone. I had the same problem with the stock ROM 'cause it will always delete the recovery tool when you restart your phone.

You can delete the install-recovery.sh like others have said or you can simply download a different ROM

[Atrix 4G General] bluegrass55:
Hello to all,

I've just moved over from Symbian to a Motorola Atrix.

The only problem i have is that any application I install from the market place wants to read/write to the SD card and access other data in the phone.

Apart from not installing the app is there any other way to block apps accessing private phone data in Android OS?
[Atrix 4G General] d3athsd00r:
Not sure, but I do know that CM7 has some options for that built in.
[Atrix 4G General] morepower71:
LBE Privacy Guard:

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.lbe.security&hl=en

You can individually set each permission for each app.
[Atrix 4G General] DarkRyoushii:
it read/writes to your SD card as this is where a lot of apps save their settings/configuration files.. stopping them from using this would cause most apps to not save settings/load properly

Thank you for the heads up guys.

Background:

1. Got phone on release date, rooted and installed Zedomax kernel.

2. LOS issues began, 2-3 times a day, only a reboot solved the problem.

3. Three forms of LOS for me:

A. Cell phone showed no signal with a circle and slash through it

B. Cell phone showed service but no calls would get through and text

messages would fail to send (thats when I knew I had to restart, which

solved the problem)

C. Going into a non signal area and then returning to an area with signal

would result in no return of service (circle with slash)

Steps to Resolution:

1. Contact Sprint and have them reset your profile

2. Update Profile and PRL

3. Reboot

Running 3 days straight with no reboots and no LOS. Texts and calls are getting through and sending with no issues. I even tested by going into a basement garage where I would lose signal and then returning to an area where I would get signal and everything was fine.

Then go to recovery clean cache partion and surf till your phone melts lol ... This is what I did. Fixed my LOS has been since last Friday .. I was told by sprint level 2 support to do this. Only because of the nationwide on going network upgrading . and it did work. I'm happy as vs be. So then I reflashed the complete stock ROM then flashed v3 zdoo .. To get root then flashed the pulled stock kernel then repeated all the steps above and now my phone fly`s and no more LOS ...

Increases touch performance

debug.performance.tuning=1

How do i go to build.prop??

And what do i copy on to??

EDIT : I KNOW NOW!!!!
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] nibras_reeza:
I didn't try them yet.

But, video.accelerate.hw=1 will make the phone use GPU for video playback. This should be the default in most devices. It will fail on ROMs with no GPU drivers.

Forcing HDPI themes onto a MDPI device is NOT a GOOD idea.

HDPI and MDPI refer to the pixel density of the screen. This is a hardware limitation. In other words 320x480 pixels on a 4.2' screen as in GT540 is MDPI. This will create some issues.

1) Performance hit. Images need resources to render. Larger the image and more the pixels, more the resources it needs. An MDPI device should handle MDPI fine but forcing HDPI on it is not. This is more or less like trying to play 720p HD video on our GT540.

2) MDPI is MDPI. HDPI is HDPI. HDPI images are larger and have more pixels(and so have more detail.) But, the MDPI display can only display select number of pixels. This means images would become larger than they should be.

ie on a 300dpi device, a square inch image needs root(300) pixels on each side. On a 100dpi device, a square inch needs 10 pixels on each side per inch. root(300) is larger than 10. In other words, a 1inch HDPI image will take more than 1 inch space on MDPI device.

3) HDPI to MDPI downscaling will not be efficient on a low-end phone.

So, if you want HDPI themes on a MDPI device, the best way is to port the theme. This shouldn't be hard. Extract apk. Edit XMLs and folders replacing hdpi with mdpi. Open up images in a good image editor and downscale them to relevant MDPI resolutions. Compile and resign apk. We are done. =D
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] TMinh:
I tried the tweak and i feel no difference. No HDPI icons as well as no performance boost. Using Swiftdroid 2.0 RC5

[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Bumble-Bee:
Yer .... non of these additions to build/system/default .prop will change performance on the devices

For example

debug.composition.type

is a flag for QC devices to set there composition type ... valid values are

cpu / gpu / c2d NOT hdpi mdpi ect

these will do nothing to affect device performance and any affect seen is just a placebo
[Motorola Droid 3] dsw361:
Why has nobody overclocked the Droid 3 yet? Is anyone working on this?

This phone has so much potential with the duel core processor.
[Motorola Droid 3] PyroHoltz:
From what I understand, we have limited access to kernel modifications. I don't think the bootstrap circumvents these problems.

I'm still hopeful though.
[Motorola Droid 3] GoogleAndroid:
With the locked bootloader, custom kernels aren't possible. However, it can be overclocked, through the injection of a module. I'm not quite sure how it works, but once someone does that, we can OC. They got the Droid 2 and X to 2 ghz.
[Motorola Droid 3] The Solutor:
With kernel modules is possible, was already done on milestone 1
[Motorola Droid 3] sic4672:
I would be more interested in undervolting. Can this be done with the injected module or is direct access to the kernel required?
[Motorola Droid 3] Camspanners:
You can do it now with SetCPU. Be very careful though, Moto used a weird governor on this called moto_hotplug, when root was first available and people undervolted some reported going too low and not having enough power to turn on the screen. I wouldn't set the max below 600MHz until more is known about this governor, and even 600 has been a little low for me at times.
[Motorola Droid 3] The Solutor:
Usually Motorola phones are power hungry because the 3G, not because the cpu consumption, the gain in battery life available trough undervolt is usually limited.
[Motorola Droid 3] sic4672:
I appreciate your response, but I think you misunderstood my question. I want to undervolt, not cap the frequency. For example, if the SoC operates at 1.3v at a clock speed of 1Ghz, then I would like to try and drop the voltage to 1.2V at 1Ghz (higher or lower voltage if viable). I don't think this can be done through setcpu, can it?
[Motorola Droid 3] Rick#2:
It's possible to overclock right now but the process is not user-friendly. I've been trying to write a kernel module to simplify it and make the changes appear to survuve a reboot but haven't had enough spare time to figure it out entirely. Check out this post by yang.felix, he found the proper register to manipulate on the XT862 but it isn't easy for the average user; I'm trying to see if a similar approach to how the original Milestone was overclocked can be applied to the XT862/XT860:

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crozuk:
Never like to have to resort to posting myself but I've had a decent look around the web and can't seem to find a solid solution to my problem so I'm hoping to get some specific help :)

So I have a UK MZ601 3G Motorola Xoom which was happily running Moray 2.2.1 and had been rooted using the universal root method. Decided to update to 2.2.2 and now my Xoom is stuck in a boot-loop on the custom rippling water boot animation.

The tablet hangs on the first line when trying to boot into recovery so for all my efforts cannot access CWM and perform a hard reset and fresh rom install.

I've tried - and I'm assuming I'm correct in thinking this means I cannot get the Xoom to any stage where I can use adb to attempt to get in to recovery or push files to the system etc. this way.

From what I've read on other forum posts - booting holding volume up and power puts the device into an 'RSD' state which is another method of reflashing the device? I've read this requires an 'SBF' file - which I have seen for download - but believe it only works for the US models?

I've left the boot screen looping overnight - so its not an issue of it just being slow. Because of the custom boot screen I obviously can't return it to the shop as I presume its an obvious warranty void?

Would massively appreciate any help in bringing whats looking increasingly like a £500 paper weight back to life.

Thanks
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
When you press volume up and power, and hold it, it reboots, yeah? Then you wait about three seconds on dual core screen and tap volume down...what happens then? Do you see android recovery in upper left? Or starting fastboot protocol? Where does it hang? Just trying to see where things are going wrong. If you can get into starting fastboot protocol you are in good shape. If you can get into cwm recovery you should be in great shape. Check out the Xoom Heaven thread in General for some info on recovery.

You are most likely far from bricked...almost all of us have recovered from worse situations than you are in now so just keep cool.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crozuk:
Thanks for your reply - tried numerous times getting into recovery - get stuck with one line of 'starting fastboot protocol' and seems to hang there.

Have experience rooting and flash etc. and have obviously used adb in the past.

If I could just get to recovery - or a state where I could use adb I would be fine. But as I said in my first post - looks like I can only access an 'RSD' state.

Is there any other way of getting adb access from my PC? All the help for bricked xooms seems to concern US models - and don't want to try anything that will completely write it off!

Thanks again for your help.
