I'm asking purely because I love learning about all of this...

I discovered that system tuner app can override the hard coded 200mhz kernel minimum and keep 100mhz alive.

Is root access allowing the app to trump the CPU settings? If so is there some kind of battle going on between the conflicting settings?

When you exit and return to the freq selection table the min returns from 100mhz I set to 200mhz however the CPU is somehow still able to use 100mhz.

Finally: what doesn't nstools behave the same way?

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] arifhn:
I guess system tuner app write the 100mhz when the screen is off (something like profile in setcpu?). The 200mhz only limited when GPU is running (i.e. screen on)

nstools and other app that set the value when screen is on will face this problem.

With nstools, as long as you don't set the min cpu freq, it will not changed to 200.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] heX79:
Just wondering if it's intended that the BLN stays illuminated after the blinking stops... Anyone else have this issue (if it's indeed an issue)? I just don't like the idea of the keys staying lit up all night while I'm sleeping, cause I got a txt message, etc.

I tested a couple methods.

1: BLN status on, Blink off = Keys illuminate and remain illuminated until unlocked.

2: BLN status on, Blink on (set at a max count of 50 (lowest avail) with a default interval of 750ms) = Blinks 26 times then remains illuminated till screen is unlocked.

Is this the intended operation? It would be nice if after the blinking stops, the keys turn off also.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] micha3lvd:
Tried using bln app yet? That does disable the bl after x amount of time.

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] heX79:
I have not, no. Is this the BLN Control app you're speaking of?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] micha3lvd:
Yep, though the free version doesn't support blinking but you do can set a timer for your bl to turn off

After using Ns tools my phone goes into a never ending boot loop 1 minute after turning on the phone. Why
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] DaX05:
Are you raising the percentage of the LiveOC? If so, are your voltage settings adjusted to support it?

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] 309041291a:
I left them as is. I managed to rush into NS tools and uncheck the "set on boot" feature. Then I uninstalled NS Tools, which fixed it
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Braneless:
All you have to do is flash the nstools reset zip if you get stuck in a bootloop.

Lol the problem was already solved. I rushed into NS Tools and disabled set at boot. Then I uninstalled it. I'm using it again only now I haven't touched the over clock settings. I had the same issues with setcpu. I guess its just my version of the ROM I'm using

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] wisepage:
Having a major issue that I would appreciate help on if anyone can offer it...

Was just playing around with NSTools on my Captivate with ICS, and had a bit of an accident...

:confused:

Went to slide the live OC slider up to around 105-110% but apparently my finger slipped or the screen picked up my sideways movement after I lifted my finger. Either way, it zoomed straight up to 150% and before long I had lines across my screen and the whole thing froze up. I didn't have the reset.zip on my SD yet. Stupid me.

Anyway, I put the reset.zip on my external/removable SD and booted into recovery. I was able to navigate to "install zip from internal SD" (even though I would have called it external SD, with the phones internal memory being internal SD, but anyway...). Flashed the NSTools reset.zip and rebooted. I am still getting the same error. Phone boots for 20 seconds or so but then screen becomes blurry and phone crashes. It is not enough time for me to access NSTools and manually change the Live OC settings before the crash occurs.

Does the reset.zip HAVE to be on the phones memory when flashed? I wouldn't have thought so, but it's the only thing I can think of.

Can anybody suggest a way for me to get out of this? I hadn't taken a backup yet. Again, stupid me.

I know a factory reset will probly do the trick, but I have just gone through a few days of setting up and customising after installing ICS. Getting OC/UV sorted was the last thing I was going to do before taking a full Nandroid backup and enjoying my new ICS Captivate. In hindsight, the smart thing to do would have been take a backup before messing around with this.

:o

Any help appreciated.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] wisepage:
Just occurred to me that 1 of 2 things has happened.

1. The reset.zip flash hasn't worked (hopefully).

2. I have stuffed my phones CPU somehow.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] arifhn:
first try this simple method

boot to recovery

select mount /data

apply reset.zip

reboot

if above method failed, try below

boot to recovery

select mount /data/

use adb shell from pc

switch to root user

rm /data/data/mobi.cyann.nstools/shared_prefs/mobi.cyann.nstools_preferences.xml

reboot
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] wisepage:
Simple method doesn't work. Phone boots to home screen OK but within about 20 seconds the screen goes blurry and it crashes.

You will have to forgive me, I have never used the debug bridge before.

I downloaded and installed the SDK. From there I downloaded the required tool and now have the directory android-sdk > platform-tools with adb.exe inside

I understand I execute adb commands from the cmd prompt. I am not sure how I switch to root user though...
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] arifhn:
from command prompt

type 'adb shell' <enter>

after you get into the phone

type su<enter>

your prompt should change to #
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] wisepage:
After I type 'adb shell' it simply says "error: device not found"

I am on my work PC. I will try it on my computer when I get home where I know I can successfully connect my phone.

I will report back then. Thanks for your help.

Should there be a space between "rm" and the first "/data"?

Should there be 2x "/data" entries?

I think I have the command right, still no joy.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] arifhn:
correct, space between rm and /data

correct, /data/data

did you mount /data partition? from recovery menu
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] RolluS:
Hi,

First, thanks arifhn for this great app ;)

Then,wisepage, depending on your phone/rom you may want to:

- mount /datadata

- rm /datadata/mobi.cyann.nstools/shared_prefs/mobi.cyann.nstools_preferences.xml
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] wisepage:
Yes I did. In the mounts and storage menu I clicked mount /data. Now it says unmount /data.

The su command doesn't appear to work correctly. I type in su and it spits out;

su

Segmentation fault

However, I already have a # symbol prompt, so I think I already have superuser privileges. Either way, I am getting No such file or directory.

Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately it gives the same error: No such file or directory

Edit; cancel that. The above worked! it WAS in datddata. Thank you SOOO much. Just saved me heaps of work restoring it all back the way it was.

:D
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] arifhn:
great!

but i'm curious. Is it /datadata ?

what phone/ROM do you use ?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] rlorange:
Yeh some weird sylinking on onecosmic rc3.1 restoring any kind of data backup seems to fill up data data. You have to break the symlink.

In /data/data>linked to /datadata

***Vintage Galaxy S1 running ported Ice Cream Sandwich Android 4.0.3 by OneCosmic***
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] wisepage:
It was datadata in the end, yes.

One Onecosmics 3.1 ICS ROM for i9000 and Captivate.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] RolluS:
On a stock Samsung rom for SGS, blocks are BML over MTD, /data/data is a real directory of /data, and the block for /datadata is used for dbdata.

On a any MTD rom (CMx, MIUI) for SGS, here are the devices:

/dev/block/mtdblock2 -> /system
/dev/block/mtdblock3 -> /cache
/dev/block/mtdblock5 -> /radio
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 -> /data
/dev/block/mtdblock6 -> /datadata
/dev/block/mtdblock4 -> /efs

+ a symlink:
/data/data -> /datadata

While in recovery, /datadata is not symlinked to /data/data, that's why your app data cant be erased.

You may correct your restoring zip ;)

Deleting from both places, will return an (silent) error, but won't cause any damage.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] wisepage:
Was going to suggest the same thing. It will save noobs like me from having a coronary when they doing something stupid like I did today.

:)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] arifhn:
Thank you for your detailed information.

I tought it didnt work because SGS has a different block device.

Now i know the details, will update the zip file as you suggested.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] RolluS:
You're welcome arifhn

To explain better why there is this strange symlink method as told before:

It's not weird!

Pro:

/datadata is on a device way faster than /data, and that then improve database transactions and apps data I/O.

Cons:

/datadata is small (~200Mb), but usually sufficient.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] rlorange:
Thanks for the clear explanation I only vaguely knew what was up. So its a difference in file name/structure between the rom types causing the restore issue.

***Vintage Galaxy S1 running ported Ice Cream Sandwich Android 4.0.3 by OneCosmic***
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] rlorange:
Sorry I poorly worded it. I meant weird as it behaves weirdly when you try to restore backups.

Also why is the data data partition so much faster? I used a zip yo break the link because restoring my data backup filled it up. And yes my phone was laggy as hell with io reads etc. So I started clean and restored using titanium. Back to its old zippy self. ;)

Incidently restoring with the "preserve simlinks" option in titanium seems to help put data where it should be.

***Vintage Galaxy S1 running ported Ice Cream Sandwich Android 4.0.3 by OneCosmic***
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] RolluS:
[Edit] Crossed posts..

/datadata is a place of choice to store frequently accessed data. (not the same memory component on the SGS mainboard)

Samsung themselves use it to store /dbdata, which are the databases folders of each apps data.

You're almost true when you speak about filename/structure.

We can compare the blocks structure as 2 partitionned hardrives, one which is small and fast and which holds /system /datadata and other, and one which is bigger, but slowler, which hold /data.

Let's stop this Out Topic and continue with private message, in respect and for arifhn's topic cleanliness ;)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] rlorange:
Oh yeah sorry... and thanks :)

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] arifhn:

Thanks ;) BTW, it's to help you in the developpement of your restore pack, it's just border line between InTopic and OT..

Now on gingerbread it's a bit different:

.android-secure on the sdcard is a loop file system (like rfs files in a Odin firmware).

app2sd are written in this file, and /data/system/packages.xml contain a list of all the package with path to there apk and to there data (that may be /data, /datadata, or /mnt/asec which are the bind mount of all apps installed to SD).

I selected another governor,then back to lulzactive,tabs working,exit NSTools,open NSTools and setting tabs were another time greyed and unresponsive.

Used reset-nstools.zip and all now is fine,maybe a bug?

First off, watching this app progress from the beginning has truly impressed me. You really have something special here arifhn... thank you!

Next, I have a suggestion for version 1.14... Is there any way you could implement "off times" for bln? Some user defined time, meaning from midnight to 8am the back light wont light up... in an effort to conserve battery of course. If I remember correctly this is something that comes with the paid version of the bln app. But NS Tools has allowed me to consolidate 5 apps into one and I would prefer to keep it that way.

Thank you for considering this in advance.
