[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
In general, we all know that PCs running Win-doze tend to accumulate junk, registry errors, etc. that slow them down. Does the same sort of gradual performance degradation happen on an Android device over time?

I mean, I've never kept the same ROM on any device more than a month, so I'm not able to evaluate it, but I do love the snappy fresh feel of a newly flashed ROM.

If it does happen, I'd assume it's simply due to the overly zealous installation of every program under the Sun.

I try to keep my devices running as Spartan as possible, but is there any long-term maintanance that one can do for an Android device apart from a factory reset or reflash that can keep things runing in top shape?

I periodically delete cache and dalvik and repair permissions, just in case, or if I have a problem, but I'm curious about this.

Anyone? Opine away.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kailkti:
I don't know if using android accumulates junk overtime, but my sgs 2 is still running as fast as it did since I flashed it, at least I think so. However whilst I offer no proof whatsoever, i believe android is the windows of our time.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
What do you mean by that? The windows of our time in what way?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kailkti:
In the sense that it is successful but no substance. Meaning it is popular but how the system handles its resources is behind in comparison to the other mobile OSes. E.g. The lack of HW acceleration, battery life, ram usage.

Edit: maybe popular isn't the right word. Maybe it's more like it works, but how it works is behind in comparison to others.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pakopa:
I have experienced a noticeable performance degradation of my milestone running cm6 over time (it has been about 4 months since I changed to this rom).

But I have managed to get it running swift again by removing about 60% of installed apps, so I think that, like windows, it doesn't handle well installing too many apps.

It's not just cm6 I experienced the same with other roms I tested.

You just bumped a thread from last October in the I9100 forums to post about a completely different phone?
[HTC EVO 3D] Khaneliman:
Felt like throwing a random new post out to say I'm very pleased and enjoying showing what I can do with this compared to everyone else's phone. I love my computer in my hand.
[HTC EVO 3D] jayharper08:
Good to see a thread around of praising instead of bashing or about another phone :)

This is what I want to hear. I havent got mine yet, but Im sure it will take pride of place next to my HD2 when I do. :)

I love the 3D. I honestly never use the 3D function, it's more of a gimmick imo, but the phone is the best I've owned yet. And at this point, I'll never own anything but an HTC.
[HTC EVO 3D] efan3719:
i love it too. a little bummed out by the hboot 1.5 crap but it's easy enough to work around. the phone screams and looks amazing. and the camera is quite nice. don't let the fact that is' 5MP fool you. still gives great shots. and the 3D is really just like a cherry on top. fun to play around with but easy to turn off.
[HTC EVO 3D] skhong:
I love my EVO 3D too...
[HTC EVO 3D] housry23:
I like my Evo 3d, but just to be completely honest, I miss my Nexus S 4G. I actually bought a ns4g yesterday from the marketplace here on xda. I also bought 2 off eBay. Not sure if I will still keep the 3d, but I will definitely be keeping one of the ns4g. 2 are broken, so they are projects.
[HTC EVO 3D] IAmSixNine:
My EVO 3D has been a great phone. No problems.

Thank you HTC..
[HTC EVO 3D] SouthernEvo:
I have to agree I like the Evo 3D , even in stock form it performs very well . HTC does make a good product (atleast my expierence with them) . Even with me moving to carriers shortly (possible new job will relocate me to a Verizon area , no sprint service) I will probably go with the HTC Rezound . Motorola just isnt doing it for me from what I see and the Droid Prime , well it has ICS but eh . New carrier but sticking with HTC .
[HTC EVO 3D] Khaneliman:
I got the phone for the ram, emmc, processor and screen. 3D was fun bonus.
[HTC EVO 3D] mlin:
I really like my E3D. I have been eyeing the Galaxy Nexus, but to be honest I am enjoying my E3D so much and have grown to REALLY like Sense.

The NS4G is a very nice phone, my brother-in-law is using mine until the Galaxy Nexus comes out. One thing I don't miss about that phone is the horrible WiFi and Data reception.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wond3r:
I'm on Telus and wasnt having great reception with ARHD recommended radio so I switched to the telus desire hd radio from the radio thread and still not getting many bars.

I am preparing to trade the phone and would like to install a radio that will give the best bars and reception - any input?
[HTC Inspire 4G] 1ChesterD:
Are you sure it's the radio you're using, and not one of the following?

1. location

2. poor or dirty antenna contacts

3. Any case you might be using
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wond3r:
1. HTC Desire and Moto Atrix have full bars in the area, Inspire gets 0 or drops service

2. They are okay

3. Makes no difference with or without the Otterbox on it
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wond3r:
Anyone? Or maybe the phone just has a defect
[HTC Inspire 4G] Agoattamer:
How was your connection before you rooted and installed a custom ROM?
[Networking] Droid_Nexus:
hi everyone, is this possible to use a droid bionic on a different network other than verzion?

thank you
[Networking] ZaneKaminski:
It is technically possible on CDMA 1x networks, though it would be very difficult in actuality.

Say you wanna use it on Sprint. You'd have to flash a Sprint PRL, which is relatively easy. The hard part is that your Bionic's ESN number (the serial number that uniquely identifies the phone) would need to be registered in Sprint's database. They, however, won't just do that. You'd need to do some major social engineering to make it happen.

You could, instead of getting the ESN registered in their database, change the Bionic's ESN to that of a different Sprint phone. That, however is both difficult and illegal, not to mention that even if you do manage to change the ESN, it still might not work right. Your best bet is to stick with Verizon or buy a phone from a different provider.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] K41N2358:
I suppose this may sound noobish to ask, but really is the hard part with upgrading the Flyer to a newer aOS build?

Is it that HTC locked down the hardware and it makes it hard to integrate the newer OSs with?

or

Is it that Google newer actually released a final public build of Honeycomb for the general masses to use like they did with Gingerbread and FroYo? Which would explain why Cyanogen hasn't really branched into working on the tablet~

Just my own wonderings~
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
if you read some of the other threads you will find my lengthy explanation of what the android update process is. In a nut shell , Google releases a core set of OS functions and the app SDK that runs on nothing, nada , zip. That's less than 1/3 of the software that makes up a operational ROM. Then the hardware vendor has to build all the device specific software to make it work.

There is no Cyanogen for tablets because google never released the source code for honeycomb and you cannot build a usable custom rom without it.

The Flyer is no different than any other device in this regard. It is harder than some devices to do a roll back to stock.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] K41N2358:
Gotcha, I had a feeling that was the case. I mean, it seemed like with root access and CWR, there couldn't really be much more holding the system back. At least from what I've been reading, Google is supposed to be putting out the public ask for ICS before year's end, so that should let us get a version of it on the flyer eventually~
[TouchPad General] Turge:
I've had CM7 running on my TouchPad for quite some time now, and all of sudden, after rebooting it, it will no longer complete the boot process. Keeps hanging on the boot animation.

I rebooted to recovery and wiped system, cache and dalvik and reflashed CM7 and Google Apps. Keeps hanging at the exact same place:

Obviously, wiping data will resolve the issue, but I would rather not do that (although I do have all of my apps backed up via TB)
[TouchPad General] jackdonogy:

Is there a thread, or a page with some info on removing different status bar icons? I'm looking to remove the USB debugging, and alarm clock icons. I've searched but all I could find was the guides for sense and I'm on CM.

I know you can hide the USB debugging in CM settings. But I would like to modify the code myself.

Go into framework-res and make all the files you don't want transparent. It might leave blank space in the status bar. If it does, delete the files you don't want. I don't know if it will work or if it will give you errors.

Any chance we will see an EXT4 kernel that can be flashed onto any of the EH17 ROMs built from the released source code by Samsung? I saw a few people displaying full satellite locks of 8 out of 8 or better. It would be great to flash that onto one of the EH17 ROMs. Thanks.

Any help GREATLY appreciated!

and you didn't provide the link to the video?

if i'm not wrong, you are watching a video on how to take the defy apart in general and not a video on how to replace the speaker? from memory, i read a post sometime ago about this and you don't have to do everything that video did just to remove the speaker. you only have to replace the speaker and nothing else.

Hello there...

I am a total newbie to Android systems. My MyTouch 3G touch screen froze and stopped working a few days ago. I have tried soft and hard resets and got it to work briefly yesterday morning but after an hour or so it stopped working again.

It is stuck at the welcome screen saying "Touch the Android to begin" but the screen does not respond to touch. The track ball works though.

I know nothing about rooting flashing or anything of the sort but researching the problems seems to point in that direction.

Can anyone help? Thanks...

Sorry if this is the wrong place or if it's already been discussed. I did my best to search for it.

My wife prefers the puzzle lockscreen but it seems like that's gone with Gingerbread? Is there any way to get that back? I'm running Infused 2.2.3 right now and I guess that uses TWLauncher 3.0. I also quickly checked out the TW 4.5 here in the forums but didn't see anywhere to change the lockscreen.

I know MIUI and CM7 support this but the wife doesn't like those. She wants pretty much stock rooted but she wants the puzzles. LOL

I'm going to try extracting the launcher from Infused 1.5 and see if that will work but didn't know if there was another solution.

Thanks
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
Loco screens are in the frame work, the puzzles on the captivate, infuse, i9000, and some other gsm phones are only for call and text notifications. The puzzle unlock is a fascinate thing, but can be added to i9000 roms. I'm sure its possible to add an infuse but nobody has tried.

If it is the glass unlock you are talking about and you have aosp unlock instead then that's a ROM specific thing. I know glass unlock used to be default and there was an update you could flash for aosp but that may have changed, not sure right now.

The re launcher is only a part of the interface, there are Samsung specifics in the framework as well. Don't think everything touch wiz is in the launcher.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] CrayzeeCarl:
I appreciate the response. I don't know much about this stuff. Actually, I think the lockscreen we have now is called glass but it's different than the puzzle version. It's definitely not the AOSP lockscreen. This one has tabs on the side that show up when an SMS or call is received instead of the puzzle pieces.

I took the launcher apk from Infused 1.5 but it wouldn't even install. So you're saying maybe I should look in the framework folders?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] GGXtreme:
That's the SGSII lockscreen. What ROM are you running? You might be able to change the lockscreen to Glass or Puzzle in the display menu or by using an app like the EDT tweaks app to change it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] CrayzeeCarl:
Yeah, I think I remember reading now that this lockscreen is from SGS II. I'm running Infused 2.2.3. I checked the menus and didn't find anything.

Hamm...never heard of EDT Tweaks before but I found an apk for it and installed it but the "lockscreen options" menu is disabled. :(
