[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
See nicksti this is why we always disagree, you're not being fair. This is what happened:

- Marty says Focus S is superior to GS2

- Peew asks how this is possible

- htc says this isn't possible

- Marty throws first flamatory comment towards GS2 "I'd rather haver better battery life than a CPU that isn't being utilized"

- Vevito says dual core offers better battery life

- Marty disagrees

- Vevito suggests Marty does some research

- N8ter says Focus S isn't the same as GS2

- Marty throws second flamatory comment "That's true, it has surpassed it. Especially with having WP7 on it. The SGS2 can't even come close to competing with it because of that"

- thread derails

- nicksti defends Marty and accuses the "pack of wolves"

Why is the finger always pointed at the same people when most of the time they're not the ones responsible for the constant arguments?
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
I defended Marty? Twice I said his statement was wrong.

He is an idiot. That a better statement? (I don't think you are an idiot Marty)

And your summary is, and I am trying not to use an inflammatory adjective here, convenient.

You said some the things you read here are eye-rubbing. So your statement is not only "how is that possible?" You are saying his comment as well as others are "eye-rubbing" and whatever that phrase means to the audience. You took a little jab at him and others as well. It was not a mean statement, but a shot at more than just him.

Marty response with a convenient cpu speed comment, and admitted did not seem too confident in what he was saying.

htc9420 correctly calls him out on it and proceeds to make an equally convenient camera comment (1080p vs 720 is all a camera does?).

Vet then makes a comment that I am still trying to figure out what he means. Are you comparing hours or efficiency? Dual Cores do not provide better battery life than a single core. But the modern dual cores are more efficient, meaning when you factor in their capabilities for the battery life they win.

Shockingly enough, N8ter's comment to me was the most appropriate one. Got to the point without being inflammatory. Go N8ter!

I am wrong for calling people wolves; I apologize. But why does the calvary need to come in? Where are some of these people when someone is attacking Windows Phone?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
Yes some comments I read here are eye-rubbing, I'm not going to apologise for saying it, I'm sure you think the same on occasions. From there, everything else is a discussion. When does a discussion turn into an argument? When comments like this are written "That's true, it has surpassed it. Especially with having WP7 on it. The SGS2 can't even come close to competing with it because of that"

No one attacked Windows Phone, there was no need for that and there's no need for the cavalry if a discussion stays a discussion.

But hey, anytime someone dies at sea, blame the sharks. That's how it is isn't it?
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
Marty's method was wrong but if he, like me, is more concerned with software than hardware then yeah, the focus S is the winner. The only people who care about specs are android users and they pretty much have to.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
People care about specs because they allow more and make devices more capable.

That's why everything goes up, not down.

The only people who constantly justify lower specs are WP7 users, but they just have to.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
I know I was not asking for anyone to apologize; if they do it because they deem it necessary then that is a personal choice. But what you summarized "how is that possible" is harmless and not what you actually wrote.

And to say blame the sharks is suggesting that "your side" is faultless. If you really believe that then you are as much to blame as everyone else. We all have agendas whether you like it or not.

I believe A has an agenda because he invested so much time and energy into WinMo development that he hates what Windows Phone is.

I believe B has an agenda because he is a pompous, know-it-all who has a need to impart knowledge to the masses to be admired and not to exchange ideas and seek knowledge.

I believe nicksti has an agenda because he likes Windows Phone, wants to see it be successful and tries to marginalize its shortcomings by hiding behind progression.

We all have issues.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
I don't have an agenda, give me a 32GB phone and I'll be happy to shut up :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
This is a fallacy. This is virus planted in the minds of people that stem from the Android Religion.

1. The most important thing people want out of anything they buy is for it to work. If you do not provide that for your customers, the whole relationship will start to unravel.

Yes, you are right. Windows Phone defenders dodge the specs argument. On the flip side Android attackers harp on it.

If you made a phone that was one of the most attractive, reliable phones on the market, had a great 5MP camera (wonderful colour reproduction, low light performance fluid 720p video recording), great screen (bright, strong performance in sunlight, crisp, clean), great app catalogue (abundance of quality free and paid apps), great battery life, coupled with an OS that was intuitive, smooth, responsive, and you marketed the heck out of that phone your phone would be a massive success.

The average person falls back on numbers if they do not understand. So I know 14MP is higher than 12MP so let me buy a 14MP cheapie camera vs a 12MP more expensive one. I deal with this on a daily basis so I know. But when you show them a picture ... game over.

We downplay it, you over-emphasize it.

The remote storage argument is silly. It can help, but does not replace actual, local storage.

[Windows Phone 7 General] lovenokia:
Well there is so much talk about "the cloud" but using internet on your phone tears up your data and hinders battery life, so local storage is better
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
We've already told them that countless times. Every platform has cloud support. Only WP handsets are being limited to 16gb storage, which is more like 13 or less on the New mango devices. They don't get it, don't want to, and probably never will.

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Woody:
Just make sure you have a back up of /system because that is where the build.prop "lives". Also I have found that when I edit them, it creates a .bak backup, but you can never fail restoring a nandroid of just the /system.

As a side note, AA1973 gave the "stock" Build.Pro for the MIUI and 3rdstring (of course) uploaded a .zip with damn near the rest of them here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1327141

Plus is you adjust a value, wirte down what the original was and if new doesn't work for you, jsut pust back in the original. This way you shoudl only have to restore /system nandroid is something screws up majorly.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] shungun:
Great work there!

I'd like to call attention to

Change the Dalvik VM heap size
dalvik.vm.heapsize=64m

Since we have rather limited memory, its better if we stick to a heap size of 32 (default in most roms) personally I use 24 and feel that multitasking is much better than at 32 when most apps get killed repeatedly.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Woody:
That's cool. I know that when I was on Kahl's V4, mine was at 48 and never had a problem with it. Think the intervals are 24, 32, 48, 64

Hey Wood, would we be able to use these build.prop tweaks? There are text files to download and place on SDCard rename them to build.prop then use root explorer to move them to /system
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] peshovec:
Thanks for your hard work, i'd like to put some comments

ro.sf.lcd_density -> if that is different from the default 240 or from 160, chances that some application from the market will be reported as incompatible with your device (web market), or dosen't show in the market (phone) are great.

So use what you want, but when you want to be sure, that you see all the applications, change temporary to 240 or 160

qemu.sf.lcd_density (here there is typo for the keyboard it should be qemu.sf.lcd_density, instead of ro.sf.lcd_density)

about defraging the database, may be including as part of openrecovery is better. I don't see the point to be defraged at every start..

You see any typo's in here? The space between 163 84,? Is that correct?

***also have you tested these on Bravo?

***I got all the tweaks saved but I think I better leave well enough alone lol. Bravo is almost perfect as is everything is running great. What do you think Brian? Should I try these?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Woody:
You can type them all in at the same time, but when I did it I did ti in pieces to make sure each one was taking effect and if I got looped was able to determine which one caused it problem (like typo ro something like that).

I'll fix that in the OP. No spaces between 163 84. Should be 16384. XDA must have remarginalized them when I put it in here. I copied them from a WORD.doc when I was compiling.

I tested the data tweaks and a few of the system tweaks on Bravo and they worked fine. But if you have everything working fine for you, I would suggest either leaving it alone or bit-piece them in there. Don't want the lightning rod effect like you had in HM's ROM.

p.s. - Sorry I didn't respond sooner, I was mostly off-line this weekend and took a few extra days off. Kind of a brain recharge thing.

[General Questions and Answers] pchoi94:
I posted this on rootzwiki a couple of days ago and have had absolutely no takers, so I'm posting it here (not sure who has a bigger active community).

Hi all, I have a question about the Dalvik cache:

I found this definition of what the Dalvik cache is:

http://www.shahz.net...lvik-cache.html

But...

I see this as an answer very often on all forums for all ROMs: wipe the dalvik cache, fixes everything. But why should we have to do this? Is android so broken as an OS that it can't manage its own cache properly? If I understand correctly, the dalvik cache is not something that is unique to custom ROMs, it's something that Google developed as part of the native android OS. Why would they develop something that needs to be micromanaged like this into an OS that is used by techies and non-techies alike across the world? If I understand correctly also, you can't even wipe the dalvik cache if you're not rooted. The majority of android devices running in the wild are NOT rooted, and I don't think Google intended android to be run rooted. So I can't imagine they'd ever intend anyone to have to wipe the dalvik cache in the first place.

That being said, it appears that wiping the dalvik cache does fix some issues for some people. maybe not the root cause of the issue, but at least the symptoms. so, is there an app that will automatically wipe the dalvik cache in the background at regular intervals so that you never have to do it yourself?

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] Funnnny:
the wipe-dalvik-cache things is a long and old story that not true anymore. as some CM dev said, the cache got invalid after you flash a new ROM and the OS will recreate automatically.

Even if you have to wipe, it's not Android fault, why are you flash ROM from the start? My friend have a LG P500, she never root it, never know what recovery or flash is, the OS is not broken, it's your fault to hack it, and if you love to hack, learn to live with it.
[General Questions and Answers] pchoi94:
Please understand, I'm not bashing android (trust me, I'm an avid android fan), I just want to understand why this is the first answer people give when others are having issues.

What I don't understand or agree with is the fact that people seem to indiscriminately resort to wiping the dalvik cache as a FIRST resort. It's like telling someone to reinstall their OS everytime they have an issue (yeah I know, it's not as much work, but you get my meaning). Well, no **** a total reinstall will probably fix it, but I'd rather not have to do it. I want to know what the root cause is and try to prevent it in the future.

So is wiping the dalvik cache something that people do on a regular basis? Or is it usually just a one-time fix for certain issues? Or something you do only once when flashing a new ROM? Or like you say, is it not even a valid fix anymore?

So are you implying that the "need" to wipe the dalvik cache is directly related to "hacking" (i assume you mean rooting/flashing) your device?

My wife and I both have the same phone, Droid X. She is running stock unrooted ROM, and I am the "tinkerer" who likes to try different ROMs. I've only tried 2 ROMs so far and I don't plan to flash anymore (currently using Vortex 2.9, which is not too far from stock). I notice that both of our phones have issues with random reboots, among other things, so I don't think the issues I'm having are directly related to my phone being flashed and rooted, since hers is not and she's having the same issues. I'm thinking this is something with android itself, or with certain apps. Should I root her phone too and try wiping the dalvik cache? Does the dalvik cache get rebuilt everytime you reboot your phone? I just want to understand.

And it would be nice to hear from someone who is an actual developer who understands the inner workings of android, rather than a "hacker" like me who only has anecdotal evidence to share.

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] dalanik:
Very good, logical nad brief answer found here:

http://www.shahz.net/android/what-is-dalvik-cache.html

According to the article, it should be safe to delete. Has anysone tried it?

It makes sense that it sould be wiped if you install/uninstall a lot of apps, since their classes.dex will be in cache and probably remain there.

Can anyone shed a light?
[General Questions and Answers] jbutler9555:
The Dalvik Cache is completely safe to wipe. You will only find this as an available option if you have installed CWM on your Android Device.

Think of it sort of as you would think of the Windows Temp Folder in Windows. It is completely fine to Wipe the Windows Temp folder, and in some cases, completely necessary to resolve an issue.

The same is true with the Dalvik Cache. When an APK is launched, it is extracted to the Dalvik Cache and run from there. It is a temporary file location.

The reason for clearing the Dalvik Cache after flashing a new ROM, is to clean up the Cache so that no temp files from the previous ROM Build are in there as clutter. There are some instances in which an App might not function or authenticate properly after flashng to a new ROM because some of the temp files in the Dalvik Cache are used, rather than a fresh copy that was extracted after the new build was installed on the device.

There is much more to the Dalvik Cache than I have described in this post, but what I have mentioned is a basic overview of the major functionality of the Dalvik Cache.

Cheers! :)
[General Questions and Answers] juntjoo:

[General Questions and Answers] syung:
You can only wipe the dalvik cache from recovery. For an apk to work it first has to be pushed onto the cache, so it can't delete the folder the apk itself is using.
[General Questions and Answers] Chromium:
Not true. Titanium backup can delete the dalvik cache. You can also delete dalvik cache folder manually using a root file explorer.

However when you delete the dalvik cache it will rebuild itself upon the next boot.
