About the launcher, I hate adw because of it's bad dock aspect and buggy swiping between screen, ruins the esence of android.

I love LP for the look and ease, no bugs, save battery, the dev is a real pro!!!

And I am not insulting people, but I was warned about wifi takes battery b4 I got the phone, making them noobs will make some ppl realise that it is stupid to leave wifi on, it is just reverse psihology, but I am gonna change that, good warning...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Ozadroid:
oki i liked Launcher Pro aswell. but the free version dont have any themes!! :-/

there it goes down below GO Launcher !!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vlt96:
It has icons, and some cm7 themes work on it, but I like the classic, transparent look...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Ozadroid:
yeah icons r there.. but i like original icons!! but i want different dock buttons.. can they b changed ??
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vlt96:
Long press them...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Ozadroid:
yeah got it :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] cornelha:
I have been reading quite a bit on these forums, the main idea behind this thread is performance tips. They wont work for everyone since none of us have the exact same apps installed of use our devices in the same way. I for one leave wifi on the whole time when at home, when not, I switch it off and use data as needed.

Draining the battery seems to be on everyones mind here, but its not like you dont sleep at least 6 hours a night giving you more than enough time to charge your device before using it tomorrow. A space/replacement battery is much cheaper than a replacement device if your concern is replacing the battery.

Most of the tips are really brilliant and have helped me to set up my device to the point where I am very happy with what appears to be a budget device kicking it with the mid range boys.

We will always see the task killer vs minifree discussions, thing is, for the most part its the mac vs windows debate, some will look at it from a technical standpoint and point out that android has the memory management specifically designed for low power mobile devices. Others look at memory as being the be all and end all of performance. Being a developer by trade, i understand the importance of having as much memory free as possible for certain tasks but on the other hand start up times on a device you use constantly is very important. None of us run a database server on their devices, we dont play Crysis 2 at full resolution and we bought a budget device. Pushing the boundaries is something we all do else we wouldnt even be here flashing the latest rom or rooting our phones. So my piece of advice, try what you read here and form your own opinion.

Personally I clock my phone at 480 min-729 max with smartass2, it works for me. I use go launcher with only one screen, I have a menu with all my apps so why waste memory and cpu on widgets? Wanna know what the weather is like? Stick your head out the window. One thing I have noticed, googlemaps, if you dont need it, kill it. It uses battery like nobodys business when running in the background. As for brightness, I have a shiny phone with a damn nice screen, why not use it when I want to? Performance vs longevity is whole different matter. A gallardo doesnt go any slower because you plugged your phone into the charger and you are pumping the music, yet it affects the battery. This was supposed to my 2c but has now turned into a dollar. The point being, try what you see, learn from it and form your opinion without shoving it down someone else's throat like I have seen on some of the posts here.

Everyone here was a noob once, not everyone here is technically minded, keep that in mind when you blast some poor poster with your superior knowledge (yes I am talking you to mr "google/search first!!!, the server wont miraculously run out of space because someone doesnt know the correct term so search, therefore we post)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Ozadroid:
+1^^

But that google part isnt that hard.. coz if u r posting to find help u shud look about that in google or in here searchbar!! if u know what u r looking for, that means u know the term (even if not the exact word).. but if u only dont know what u r looking for then how in the wolrd u think the others can understand what u want! :/

Omg make this much more simple, some of this is odd...

I am just trying to give people a direction, not forcing them(hehe, this goes big text)

No one said you did, was just the feeling I got reading all the other posts. Like I said, to keep it simple, try everything, keep what works for you
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vizzkidd:
wot is better 480-600

or 122-600

with smartassv2
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vlt96:
I will give the best answer when I will have a list of voltages, but now I use 480--600, because 122 lags out horribly on screen on, even 480 does, but I don't care about it, at least it is faster, and staying a minute to light the screen kills the phone...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Human_dude_007:
I use aga rom 2. Release with rome kernel or paulo v6.both of em are lagfree running at 122-600 smartass..trust me ..:)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vlt96:
Smartass never goes lower than 480, but v2 gets to 122, trust me;)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Human_dude_007:
Get yourself setcpu d check out ..when no interactions r made wit sscreen cpu is @122..
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vlt96:
Tried that, not working on me... keeps at 480q
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Ozadroid:
is ur charger failed?? or are u super lazy to put id on charge?? or u want that u never hafta charge ur fone??

lowering the min freq does nothing good. if u want overclock then its fine!!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] TakamineSubasa:
If you want the voltages call LG, as they are kinda hardcoded and noone knows what are the real values...

PS: Some nice tips, but also there's some rubbish there.... oh BTW, this is one of the worst organized post ever...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vlt96:
Yes I need to improve it, but how do I call LG...?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vlt96:
You could just tell him 480 is better...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] TakamineSubasa:
Yeah, that's what everyone is wondering, HOW DO WE CALL LG? :rolleyes:
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vlt96:
I just want to know about the 122 245 320 480....
[Optimus One, P500, V General] TakamineSubasa:
Dude as i told you, there's no easy way to get those voltage values, you either contact LG somehow and tell them to give those values, or reverse engineer kernel values or do complex maths to determine a biased/unreliable value of those voltages based on battery consumption :cool:
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vlt96:
I just want some1 to tell me how much battery does each from 122--245--320---480 take...

And ye you are smart:-?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] TakamineSubasa:
Kinda but not enough to get those values :rolleyes::rolleyes:
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vlt96:
Can you ask some1 like einstein, it is easy for him ;)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] TakamineSubasa:
Yeah i asked him, but unfortunately he doesnt friggin knows whats even a smartphone :(

However he told me: E=MC^2 :cool:
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Ozadroid:
make max freq to the speeds u want n den goto spare parts check the charge on battery... if its that voltage u want!!!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vlt96:
ok ill try
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Turducken:
Not to rain on your parade but most of this is covered in the stickies and in greater detail. Alot of what you say in this "guide" is subjective and questionable IMO.

I think your efforts would be better spent helping sweetnsour to improve the [P500/V][DISCUSSION] General Tips & Tricks & Recommendations sticky.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vlt96:
I can, but I got what I know in one place, can you atleast give me a link to that thread?

To save battery I just use setCPU with ScreenOff Profile, and I can use my phone for 4 or 5 days
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vlt96:
4-5 days standby, or using it a bit:-?

what is the screen off frequency...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] jorslb:
Messaging and some WIFI just to read the email and news.

min 122

max 245
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vlt96:
Can you try this on 480, tell me if it goes faster.

Also, what governor are you using?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] jorslb:
Im using SmartassV2.

When I have the screen of I dont care about the speed, but I can try.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vlt96:
Maybe 480 makes screen on faster, and it is supposed to have same voltage.

Smartassv2 goes to lowest without profile, worked for me, but using one just to make sure...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Ozadroid:
wtf!!! max 245.. how does ur fone boot even!! :/

Hi vlt96 , can you help me with this problem??

"I've flashed last stable and test version of this rom to the optimus one of my brother (with the old baseband of froyo 2.2), but whem he play a game and touch the screen the phone go very slow..

I've listen to this problem but i don't know how can i fix this..

I've tried franko kernel too but without succes.."
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vlt96:
If you use 6.6.1 use the kernel in my signature, if it is 6.5.x, then use goldenleaf, search it in xda(7nov kernel)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] TrZ69:
Hi vlt96,

i've tried 6.6.1 version with franco kernel and don't work

so i've tried 6.5.8 with goldenleaf and don't work

Still go slowly when i play a games and i touch the screen..

Can i do to resolve this problem??
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Lycan:
Its the touchscreen driver prob.

Use void forever with goldenleaf 18a
[Optimus One, P500, V General] TrZ69:
I've tried both of kernel, like goldenleaf 18b bsc..

Still i have the bug, but the phone goes a little more speedy..

But when i play for example to PES 2012 it's very lag..

With games such as Angry Birds ther'arent problem..

There is another solution to resolve this problem??

Thanks anyway for the help :)

Edit: i didn't find the kernel 18a!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Lycan:
I don't think pes 12 is modded YET for p500. I tried it using the best possible combinations but it still lags. Wait for 2 more weeks and the modded files will be out [But WAREZ ofcourse]. However pes 11 runs Butter Smooth :D

Try using andy's phoenix ROM from here

If that doesn't work try using any ROM based on official GB i.e. 2.3.3

For list of ROM's and kernels refer this

:)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] terratrix:
About governors that dont jump to max freq when multitouch. If it doesnt go to max freq, your gamer or whatever will lag. Why care so much if it only matter a few minutes of battery life overall?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] TrZ69:
Thank you for the help :)

Anyway the phone goes very well with cyano 6.5.8 and goldenlead 18c bfs, with a exception for the game lags.. Can you give me a "link" where i found all the modified apps for optimus one?? Of course if it's possible :P

Bro i am not able to see SmartassV2 and InteractiveX in my cyanogenmod 6.5.8

from where i can find these two setting ???
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vlt96:
Go to SetCpu and select as governors lol.

if you don't have download the kernel I got the link there... the one for 6.5.x;) the one in my signature
[Optimus One, P500, V General] haxor:
Bro link is not working. you just tell me what i need to do. i just need to download setcpu thats it ? or doing something else ?:confused:
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vlt96:
I will chabnge the link, ok, but google it, it has an xda thread with download, you will see you have there the sliding frequencies, the governor and set on boot. Set the governor you want;)

Hello to everyone. i want to ask some questions about ext3/4 fat32 app2sd and so on. i am using a gb custom rom on my mini and i use the app2sd app from the market. i partition my sd with fat and ext4. i also know that we can move apps in fat without having any partition (correct me if i am wrong). the question is what i earn by partitioning my sd to ext3/4? do i get some extra performance?

also i mention that in cyanogenmod settings there is an option where we can select it and says ''allow moving apps to external storage'' what exactly these option do?

thank you and sorry for the bad english.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] domics:
ext4 is the newest format, but it`s not compatible with all roms, fat32 otherwise is compatible with all roms.(no errors) some costum roms have the app to sd integrated, so you don`t have to install the app, you should find this in the changelog of the rom. ;) i hope i could answer some questions ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mitsos16x:
it's not exactly what i want to know but honestly thank you for the answer

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jtc42:
Since nobody else posted one, this is my attempt at an ICS theme for rooted stock Arc ROM.

The theme has been tested and is working on version 4.0.1.A.0.283 and 4.0.2.A.0.42, and reported working on .58, however as always, install it at your own risk.

MASSIVE thanks to XperienceD, we now have a working release 5 with CWM installer! I did almost nothing on this release, so all credit to XperienceD on getting this one out there!

Please note, this is a framework THEME file. For the launcher (including icons) and ICS style lock screen, use LauncherPro and Widget Locker. PLEASE don't post here complaining that it hasn't changed your launcher icons.

New in Release 5:

Volume/Progress bars now ICS style, thanks to XperienceD.

ICS boot animation added.

Easy ClockworkMod installer

How to install:

1. Download and install the SE Extreme Tweaker tool from HERE.

2. Following the instructions, install the ClockworkMod Recovery for your Arc.

3. Place the theme ZIP file somewhere on your SD card, root directory is always an easy one.

4. Reboot into CWM recovery by powering up and repeatedly pressing volume down.

5. TAKE A BACKUP! I am not responsible for bootloops so always take a backup just in case :)

5. Once backed up, select Install ZIP from SD Card, and chose ZIP to install.

6. Navigate to the theme ZIP file, select install, once installed, reboot.

7. Enjoy! (Hopefully)

Note: For the ICS style gradient background, apply the Onyx theme.

Anyway, hopefully this will work fine for everyone as it is.

Is ti possible to do the same version, but with no % in battery??
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jtc42:
I was thinking about this. Basically what has happened is I got hold of all the theme resources I could and began porting them over. I'm really REALLY new to this so I'm not familiar enough with how it works to feel comfortable doing a lot of XML editing so that would involve editing over 100 images, which I don't have time to do.

This leads me on to something I was going to say anyway. If someone more experienced than me at this wants to have a go at the battery without %, and also getting the volume/progress bars to the new ICS style then please do!

I can supply resources for the progress bars but I have no idea how to go about editing the XML so it reads from the images as opposed to just the colours.

Thanks :)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] chitose_ndy:
Too bad its not for .42 fw..

If its updated too .42,

Then I will be gladly to test it and report it to you

thanks

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jtc42:
It can't be flashed via recovery, should have said that, sorry! Are you definitely moving framework-res.apk and SemcGenericUxpRes.apk to Framework, and SystemUI.apk to the App folder?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] milkmanglc:
yeah bud, status bar changes and so does tick boxes but nothing else, i am using arc s firmware .....
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jtc42:
Thats really weird, the other icons and most other things like that are stored in the SystemUI.apk, but there are resources scattered across all 3 files so it's weird that the status bar changes but nothing else does. Are all the other resources the stock Sony Ericsson ones?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] milkmanglc:
yeah just stock firmware apart from dooms kernel
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jtc42:
It may have something to do with using the Dooms Kernel? I don't know how the resources and framework are laid out on that, I've literally only tested it on completely stock firmware except for root.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] chitose_ndy:
Are you serious???

Okay then I will try it too :D

Thanks !!

Edit:

Hey it works in .42 fw ! :D

I will report to you if there is any issue or bug.

How easy is it create a flashable zip for this theme, as no matter how.many times I apply it the icons don't change :(
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] chitose_ndy:
You need to have a themed launcher to make the icons.

The flash zip doesn't change the icons

Help me :

Can someone upload the stock

1. Android.policy.jar

2. Framework.jar

Its from /system/framework

Please :(
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jtc42:
OH! I thought they meant the status bar icons weren't changing, my bad!

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] chitose_ndy:
no man,

the icons in the launcher should be changed by urself,

if u want to change the icons, u should use costum launcher (launcherPro, adw ex, goLauncher, etc) that can be themed ICS,

u can find the theme at market

:)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jtc42:
Okay guys LITTLE bit of a technical hitch, the latest version I compiled is resulting in a bootloop. Particularly annoying as I don't have an unlocked bootloader so I can't just flash back with recovery, I had to reset my phone every time.

I've basically tracked the error down to the point at which I use APK Manager to compile the new APK having edited the XML. Nothing I do will make it work, so if someone more experienced than me wants to have a go, please do. I can email you XML files and image resources for the unfinished bits, but I don't want to publish anything new because it runs the risk of bootlooping.

Because of this I'm making some final little changes and then I'll have to hand this over to the hands of the community. I really hoped that I could get this better, but I really shouldn't make my first real project a system file that can cause bootloops.

@jtc, There is also the SemcGenericUxpRes, & SystemUI to mod. ;)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jtc42:
I know, they've both been modded with all of the resources I changed. Every change I made to the framework or systemUI I also applied their equivalents to SemcGenericUxpRes, as well as any other resources in it that needed changing.

I'm starting to think that the notification divider colour is in the XML somewhere, which I have discovered I should just not touch because every time I do, I get a bootloop.
