[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kolosus:
In aosp roms I don't have access to diagnostics screen etc.

On sense roms I put up the dialer and go ##3424#, ##3282#, ##786 etc. On aosp roms those choices are not available. I know that access is possible through the terminal but I lack the commands and I can't seem to search the forum with the proper terms.

Someone please direct me. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathsled:
those diagnostic functions are built in to Sense and are tools specific to the device from HTC. If you need to access them then you need to flash a Sense rom I'm afraid.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kolosus:
If I don't have access to those screens then how do I change the MMS Server URL? I can live having to flash for access to the other options but the mms url is a must!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathsled:
open the voice dialer and say "open APNs"
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenixjn:
Search in the market for an app called APN Manager. It will allow you to edit your APNs for MMS access. (BTW, APN #1 is Sprint's so you can just activate that one and MMS should work right there).

Hey!

I'm a computer engineering student, and really interested in mobile devices.

Would like to learn more about rooting smartphones.

I don't mean how to root a particular phone. Put the case that Samsung releases Galaxy S III and noone rooted it yet, so you wanna do it yourself. What do you do? How do you start?

I'm looking for some general guidance here. Is there any place i can learn more about this stuff?

Any advice would be appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] M_a_x86:
I think the xda' is a right place for you :D
[General Questions and Answers] bringsexyback:
google and xda, of course trial and error is the only true way to learn ;)
[General Questions and Answers] earthw0rmjim:
Well thanks.

Can someone show me where to start?

I browsed these forums and found threads only about how to root particular phones. Like "download this stuff, copy it to somewhere and then do this".

I'd like to know how exactly does it work.

You get a brand new phone, noone rooted it yet. How do you figure out the rooting method? What are you looking for first?

I know it's a complex procedure, just looking for some hint on where should i start. Is there some kind of general guide here i missed?

There is missing RAM because the operating system need a certain amount of RAM to run.

This task manager is showing you the available RAM you can use on top of the OS running. :)
[HTC Desire S] AsafteiLaurentiu:
Finally an eligible answer !

Thank`s

Anyway I have mailed to HTC support .. I am waiting for an answer ... I will post it :)
[HTC Desire S] Drummansam:
No worries! Make sure to hit my thanks button ;)
[HTC Desire S] AsafteiLaurentiu:
HTC says:

Thank you for contacting HTC and informing us about this issue.

The available space on the RAM is appearing to you less than 768 MB because a certain percentage from these 768 MB are reserved for the operating system, as a cautious measure to avoid the phone to reboot, to work slowly or to freeze. Please also be informed that you cannot access this percentage of MB and you cannot modify it.

For the future, if you want to have support in Romanian language just write the email in Romanian and we will reply to you in Romanian.

If you have any other inquiries, don’t hesitate to contact us again.

For further details, please note that you can contact us via support line or via email following the below link: http: http://www.htc.com/europe/support.aspx. Thank you so much for using HTC products.
[HTC Desire S] Drummansam:

Of course your OS needs RAM for other stuffs.... u should know this if u use a computer before . =.="
[HTC Desire S] jarmal:
Not big deal but in Windows and also in non android Linuxes total ram means total ram not memory reduced by something.

A PC has RAM which can be upgradable and its different to phones because its soldered on and it reduced because of the os and the memory.

[HTC EVO 3D] alexv59:
I have been playing with some kernels. This is what can be obtained eith ziggy's kernel. And to think, until recently, je didn't even have a 3D. If the score is not clear it is 4447

EDIT: My bad, Mods, please move this to the Eternity thread in the CDMA development forum. Sorry, and thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] shortyboy:
what is your current setup?rom, mods?, clock speed and governor?also, ive gotten great scores with ziggy's kernel as well but had a known issue of wake call ( where the phone is asleep and when someone would call, the phone screen would be black and not wakeup). This is a known issue and Virus has mentioned its kernel related. Virus has gotten Ziggy a Evo 3D, so hopefully he can correct this issue as his kernel is by far the best performing and battery life Ive tested.
[HTC EVO 3D] smw6180:
Just a friendly reminder that this doesn't really belong here, it's more fitting in general, or even apps/themes.

That having been said, Ziggy's kernels were always really good on the OG 4g, but I have had nothing but problems with them on the Evo3D. I know he recently got the Evo so hopefully they'll improve, but even with the latest I'm getting issues with reboots, lockups (those are with it clocked to 1188, not OC'ed at all for testing purposes), and also the infamous 'unable to wake the screen on incoming call'. In other kernels that's a sign that 2 way recording is enabled, but I don't believe Ziggy's have that functionality.

I've also been able to achieve 4300/4400+ with Warm 2.3 and BCBlend 0.3.
[HTC EVO 3D] fifedogg:
How come Ziggy doesnt have his own thread with his kernels. Does he only want it on ViperRom or is there somewhere other than XDA where he has them.
[HTC EVO 3D] DDiaz007:
His kernels are not for ViperROM. You'll find them on Synergy, and Eternity.
[HTC EVO 3D] fifedogg:
I meant to say Synergy. I was curious why he doesnt have his own thread.
[HTC EVO 3D] DDiaz007:
Don't no, he did have a thread on the Evo 4G forums, but he stopped supporting it I think. He does have his own site for his kernels.
[HTC EVO 3D] alexv59:
Eternity,1.4 w/ziggy417. No mods, themes or whatever. CPU at 1.7 set on demand. Funny thing is that I have never seen the wake call issue at all. Go figger.
[HTC EVO 3D] alexv59:
See, the only issue I have ever had was my screen going whacky as if though someone was pushing buttons all over the place. I re-applied he ROM over my existing setup and everything has been fine since then. Now, if we coold only find the common denominator.
[HTC EVO 3D] smw6180:
Well technically the common denominator is Ziggy's kernels. I've had identical problems with them on multiple ROM's and two different Evo3D's. ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] alexv59:
LOL and for me his kernels have been the best and most stable.
[HTC EVO 3D] fifedogg:
Try and do your runs on the Free version of Quadrant. I always get quite a bit higher on the paid version.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] abacon15:
Looks like the secondary mic is covered... Dang... Case looks good though bud!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jayosee:
it does cover the secondary mic. Not a big deal though. I just went and picked mine up from them today, since they are local to me. The outer shell is pretty thin, so it will be no problem to make another hole for the mic, if you want to. I will wait and see how the phone performs first. On my thread, someone shows how they heated up a nail or something, and made the hole. Looks perfect.

---------- Post added at 02:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:24 PM ----------

I havent noticed a difference so far, but I just got it today. The in call speaker is kind of low to begin with, in my opinion. But you can just make another hole where the secondary mic is, if you choose to. I would recommend this case to anyone with this phone. It is really nice quality, and the people there at SGP are first class.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dbsltmch:
Inner shell is getting loose

I had this case for about 2 weeks now and it seems that the inner shell is getting loose. I can see that the give on the inner shell especially around camera opening is loose and the gap between the shell and the phone is really loose if you know what I mean.

I think the inner shell material might be getting stretched out with time.

Everything else is great but I think if the material was little more resilient it would be much better case.
[Acer Iconia A500] niksssss:
Hello Guys i have a problem. I cant Overclock Lightspeed 1.0.6 and i was not having a problems with 1.0.4 version ? Why is this happening ? Is it only me ? Before I was Abe to go up to 1.6 and now the max Freq is native (1GHz). Im using SetCpu to overclock.....

Oh and i didn't want to make another topic so i will ask you here? Is there a possible Way to play Gameloft Games with XBOX 360 controller or Mouse ? I can play with X360 controller with the emulators.....
[Acer Iconia A500] Bloodflame:
Lightspeed 1.0.6 comes with a stock kernel which doesn't support overlocking. In other words, you need to flash a new kernel to allow overclocking. Try richardtrip's kernel here. Just flash the same way as a ROM, only wiping the cache and dalvik cache first. My only annoyance by doing this with Lightspeed is the way the kernel handles external hard drives. With the stock kernel, it would automatically mount as USB Storage as soon as it's plugged in. When using richardtrip's kernel, you need to use an app called Drive Mount (found on the market) and it will only automatically mount if the drive is plugged in while booting (as long as you configure it to do so). Also, it won't come up as USB Storage - instead, it mounts to /mnt/sda1 and /sda1 if you set the symlink in Drive Mount. Thought I might point that out.

As far as using your 360 controller or mouse in Gameloft games - I don't think it's possible. The games aren't programmed to support them. I could be wrong, though. There might be a third-party app or some way to remap the default controls. I haven't really looked into it, but I'm doubting it's possible. Emulators for systems such as MAME or SNES do support controllers, however. Edit: guess you already knew that second part :p
[Acer Iconia A500] GullyFoyle:
Thors Kernel works too.

Can be found at

tegraowners.com
[Acer Iconia A500] Bloodflame:
This is true, however I wouldn't endorse it. Thor doesn't release the source code, which is in direct violation of the GPL. Just sayin...
[Acer Iconia A500] KILLER_K:
I agree with thor's kernel. Use it and love it and while he may not release the "source code". He will help you with any issue you have and that is a big plus in my book.
[Acer Iconia A500] shin lucifer:
Same here. For what ever reason he dont release it; i dont really care. But he is always very prompt with reply, when you ask him any question. Do the best to help you. Or update kernel quickly when problem or inefficiencies are reported.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Let's not rehash the fued ;)

+1 on Thor's Kernels and his support for them. And the Transformer Port to the 500 is pretty slick also.

For the Lightspeed Rom, I believe you need Thor's version 3.9 kernel "stock", the one tagged as "the rest" are for the really custom roms.
[Acer Iconia A500] WarbyD:
(first post after floating around here for a couple weeks since getting my a500)

I'm running Lightspeed with thor's kernel, oc'd (using cpu master free i think off the top of my head) to ~1.4ghz -- running very nicely :)

Also the bootloader (sbl)has one day newer timestamp...

And KI8 has new SWYPE 3.25.51 (it has nice new functions like copy, paste, selecting by swyping...)

And nice font...

Please, mods, leave this thread for a couple of days...

New swype functions in KI8 are:

Select All: To select all of the text you entered, just Swype from the Swype key to the 'a'.

Copy: To copy a word or block of text, just select the text by double-tapping on the word or do the Select-all gesture, then Swype from the Swype key to the 'c'.

Cut: To remove a word or block of text and store it to paste elsewhere, just select the text by double-tapping on the word or do the select-all gesture, then Swype from the Swype key to the 'x'.

Paste: After doing a copy or cut of your text, Swype from the Swype key to the 'v' to paste it.

The Number Keyboard: To quickly get to the Number keyboard, Swype from the Swype key to the number 5.

And one info. I tried to use this Swype version in KI4 ODEX, and... only FC, though I tried everything...

[Galaxy S II General] sebarkh:
I know, and I don't feel good with this, but... a lot of misinformation I met in the forums....

And hardly anyone mentions the new features...

Forgive me, please...

Often people think that what is released as last must be the newest. It's not true...
[Galaxy S II General] dan@msx:
Personally i appreciate this information. However it had been mentioned in the early part of intratech thread....

What i dont understand is why it has taken til now to be released when its older than ki8 which has been online quite a while now!
[Galaxy S II General] sebarkh:
Personally I think that it's due to the new KIES test function. Maybe they needed a firmware to test the test function with it LOL :)

But it's just my gues
[Galaxy S II General] donalgodon:
One awesome feature in the newer version of Swype from KI8 (also in the beta) is the user-editable dictionary. It's a must for me, as I find myself occasionally needing to manually enter words and/or delete mistakes, etc. that get saved there.

It's hard for me to imagine a ROM better than KI8 once the hideous fonts are replaced with those from KI3, of course! :D
[Galaxy S II General] TheSopranos16:
Its true that its a day older but I switched from KI8 to KI4 and I find my battery life has improved. For that alone I prefer KI4...
[Galaxy S II General] sebarkh:
Interesting...
[Galaxy S II General] sebarkh:
Try to copy KI4 fonts to KI8.... Maybe it will work.
[Galaxy S II General] donalgodon:
I find most of these reports of improvements in battery life to be subjective. No pictures, it didn't happen, as the saying goes.

Of course, no two phones behave 100% identically, despite the best design and intentions. Usage and regional patterns, etc. cause a wide range of variability.
[Galaxy S II General] TheSopranos16:
Or do what I did and download "Font Installer" from the market and install the new Roboto font from ICS :)

---------- Post added at 03:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:44 PM ----------

Agree. And all I have provided was my subjective opinion. Hence "I find my battery life has improved" as opposed to "everyone will notice better battery on KI4".

For what its worth, my subjective analysis involves putting a fresh 100% charged battery in the phone before bed and seeing what it has left by the morning. I use latitude which more than doubles standby drain in my experience so I lost around 20% with KI4 overnight as compared to around 30-35% with KI8. Its not 100% scientific but it gives me the feeling KI4 is better with my setup...
[Galaxy S II General] sebarkh:
Oh, you say they added all the functions in 3.25 and then removed all of them in "the newest"-as you claim - 3.8 (3.8 has none of them)

LOL
