[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syntax_gosong:
Do you mean that the

Go Launcher Ex

is trying to resize the wallpaper?

I have tried this on Stock Laucher too and the result is the same.

Is this related to the ROM (oxygen) I'm using on?

or the kernel (franco) ?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syntax_gosong:
OMG...!!!

I just flashed my Nexus S back to MIUI and.....

OH MY GODSSS...!!!

I'm not experience this issue on MIUI ROM 1.11.18.

This is the wallpaper I'm using on.

MIUI is a great ROM but I don't really like it because

of its heaviness. I prefer Oxygen ROM because it's light.

The image above is the same photoshop creation I made.

With the same image size but in different color.

Anybody can solve this problem ? Please help me.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkVis:
what he ^ said

plus try this resolution: 960x800

thats the native wallpaper size for the nexus s.

if you went over it will get compressed to that size which may cause unwanted effects. ie what youre having.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syntax_gosong:
The image resolution I made was 960x800 already. And the result is the same.

I have never experience this on my old I9003 which is also using SCLCD.

This issue is also happen on Stock Launcher.

Any other suggestions?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
Settings > Cyanogenmod > Performance > Enable surface dithering

Edit: The image in your first post has noticeable banding BTW. Crappy quality picture = crappy output...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syntax_gosong:
I have no Cyanogenmod settings because I'm now using Oxygen ROM.

Any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tamarian:
I'd like to wipe the data from my Galaxy Nexus to send it for repair, but since the screen is blank/broken, I have no feedback to my adb commands, and no way to press on screen prompts. The device is stock, unrooted. Doing adb shell/wipe data gives me no permission, so I think I need to be in bootloader or recovery.

Does any guru here have the steps required to wipe data/factory reset in such a screenless/touchless mode?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tung_meister:
you could root it then wipe it using adb like you said.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tamarian:
Just in case someone needs this here goes:

You do NOT need to be rooted. Just install ADB and fastboot.

Turn on your device in bootloader mode, hold volume up and volume down and power button simultaniously, until you feel a vibration, then let go the buttons.

Connect USB cable to PC.

Run ADB as root, type: adb root

Check you are in in fastboot mode and connected, type: fastboot-linux devices

This should show a long number

Finally, type: fastboot-linux -w

And just to be sure type: fastboot-linux erase data.img

fastboot-linux reboot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qwer23:
Or you could fastboot flash the stock images that are provided by google. Fastest method, even more since zyo made a one-click batch file for that.

If you want to make sure everything is wiped correctly, you could boot the phone and connect it with a screen via MHL.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] taogenix:
ok. so putting the device in bootloader mode is easy. but trying to understand what you mean with "run adb as root" ??

this what i did, i run cmd and see C:\user\name>

typing C:\user\name>c:\adb (which is where my adb folder is located)

only gives me this message:

'c:\adb' is not a recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

can some1 give a step to step guide or give a me link that tells me how to do this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gee2012:
Type: cd c:\android-sdk\platform-tools to be able to get in the tools.

c:\android-sdk is the location where i have my sdk tools, if yours is different type that instead. Place the sdk directly on the c drive, not in a (sub) folder.

Than type: adb reboot-bootloader and you`re in fastboot mode.

---------- Post added at 09:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:43 AM ----------

I f you`re not familiar with adb/fastboot i advice you to do this:

Install GNex Toolkit from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1614827, Flash a google image from here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#yakjuimm76i.

Install the toolkit, do option 1 (drivers), put the downloaded and the not to be extracted google image (.tgz file) here C:\Galaxy Nexus ToolKit\put_google_factory_image_here ,put your phone in fastboot mode and do option 8. After that lock the bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] taogenix:
ok, i tried the Gnex toolkit and i believe it worked. i can see the serial ID when its in fastboot mode. and i followed all those steps to restore the img.

yesterday i just bought an original samsung mhl adapter. i tried to connect it with my Gnex, plugged in the power cable and tried to connect the hdmi cable both to my pc monitor and my flatscreen tv. nothing works. i tried connecting all the cable first while the phone was off and then turn on the Gnex. still nothing works. no Signal/no Device is being recognized by either monitor.

Is there a way to get this to work, so i can see my Gnex "screen" on any Monitor?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _qualm_:
I know this is old but......

So I am trying to do what the OP is trying to do, just to refresh, I am attempting a broken screen factory restore. I am pretty new to all of this, but I have been reading for a little while now and attempted to do this a few times. I am having trouble with Gnex ToolKit recognizing my device. I installed all of the drivers, windows said they installed and everything seems to be fine with those. My device is still not showing up at the top.

My question is, all of the instructions above require that the phone was, before the screen was broken, put into usb debugging mode? Regardless if you boot your phone in Bootloader mode? As I cannot see my device at all in adb.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Esterra:
Hello to everybody!

Yesterday i came on with a big problem. I had connected to my brothers wifi.(he turned tethering on his huawei u8500) One moment, i have lost the connection with him.I tryed to reconnect to his network but nothing.Then i went outside my home and tryed to connect to my neighbours open wifi connection, but nothing.

All the time there shows - gathering ip address, and after about 20sec it says dissconnected, and it starts from beginning.

As for SetCpu all was fine, till yesterday again.My freq was 480/729 .

After the wifi problem,i restarted the phone in recovery, and cleaned cache and dalvik..and thought that it will fix the problem but nothing.I turned the phone on, all was o.k Then i opened setcpu as always when i turn on my o1 and wanted to change frequencies, but nothing happened. Superuser allowed setcpu, but nothing.

Through CM settings i can change the freq, but through setcpu - nothing.

After all, before about 1 hour i backed up this rom, and installed CM.6.5.8. All worked fine- setcpu and wifi.

My current rom is CM7 6.5.7

Kernel - franco.v19.-bfs

I don`t want to flash to another rom, becouse later it wil be hard to get all apps and all other things back.

I don`t have any idea what went wrong:confused:

Maybe someone can help me?:(

p.s sorry for my mistakes, if there are any.:o
[Optimus One, P500, V General] terratrix:
Try the latest kernel CFS by fserve
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Esterra:
The same,

It`s not working with that kernel.

i also tryed Goldenleaf versions, and i had francis franco v18 kernel.It is not working too...

What could be the problem?:confused:

Hi. I really appreciate the kindness and willingness of everyone here in xda. U guys help many people and I salute each and everyone here. A big thank you from me! (Sorry i cant hit all the thankyou button for everyone)

Anyway.. i just have one problem with my x8. Its about the small ram available for use. I only have a total of 175mb of ram and it lags my phone so much. Any advice on how can i maximize my ram? Any apps that can help?

Again, i really would appreciate any help and guide.. salamat! (Thank you in Filipino) :-)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] - Swift -:
Download an app called "Speed Booster Lite" from the market.

It should help. ;)

Leave a thanks if I helped! :D
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnretsel:
Thanks irishstuff! :)) ill try that.. btw, have u done supercharger to ur phone?

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gruber11:
try v6 supercharger script. ;)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xpraken:
pare :D

try this

Requirements

Minitools Partition Wizard Home Edition

Unlock Bootloader

Alfs Kernel v04 and vold update ,

GingerDX v020 ROM

flash to alfs kernel v04 and update vold only

then

after you flash the rom gingerdx v020

go to Settings > Application > Check Allow Application Moving > Install Application to EXTERNAL

you should partition your SDCARD using Minitool partition wizard home edition

my sdcard have 4gb class 6

i create PRIMARY 3.16gb fat32 cluster size 32kb and the rest PRIMARY ext2 partition

my phone got 206MB free internal ram storage :)

after install lots of application and games :DD

goto this link

to view all my apps and games :)

Here

my free internal ram storage is 203mb :D

i use SD MAID to clean cache
[Off-topic] futty:
I just wanted to give a big thanks to all the devs here. You guys do a great job in bringing us the latest roms. :cool:

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tohno:
hi all i just modded my phone to gingerv20

and after my phone now looks better with 2.3 but feels weird ...

- my apps are unresponsive ...i keeps getting app that is not responding and after closing it / rebooting my phone i still is unresponding forcing me to redownlaod the app again

-the camera has extra feature like the fixed focus and the timed function but after clicking it , it still has no effect

-the memory always seems to be very low ( 20mb usually) making me constantly needing to task kill it

-mx player don't seems to be working =(

-the messanger seems to be pretty bland all white only ..is this normal?

-system seems to be little unstable ...a little lag sometimes ~

- the MARKET IS FREAKING LAG!!

++++

+with the dsp manager my sound output is very good and darn clear! love it!

+the phone looks gorgeous

+album is gorgeous

does these all happens to you? share your experience

because of the laggin market and unstable Os imma considering of xrecover to my 2.1 ...should i?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] - Swift -:
Well, the unresponsive apps don't occour with me.

But most of those things are normal for me.

If you don't like the Messaging app download GO SMS.

Down-Grade to the old market to get rid of lag.

For me the Settings are fine. :D

If you don't like themes you can always get one for theme chooser. (Preferably ICS by A-Chep)

Leave a thanks if I helped! :D
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] - Swift -:
And NO, don't downgrade to 2.1.

Just if you need help, ask or PM me.

I felt the same as you when I first got GingerBread.

I was 'll like "what it ", "hmmm" and so on.

I'm over 1 month using it and its GREAT!

The reason some apps are bland is because doixanh wanted a smooth and fast version of GB.

Also, 20-26 mb of RAM IS normal for me.

I have an app called "Speed Booster Lite" from the Market.

It clears cache. And I usually get 40-60 free memory.

If you're lucky, maybe even 80!!

I have about 35 market apps installed at the moment.

Leave a thanks if I helped! :D
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tohno:
hi irish!

imma try out the app now ~ but my android market is no joke...very very very lag..my phone gets lag when i open the wifi but from the benchmark test i improved from 441 to 951 holy goodness ...but can't feel much different ...and which 2.3 mod do you use?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norbula2008:
unlock boatloader and flash custom kernel and your phon will fly and benchmark with alfs kernel in atuntu 1750 min
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tohno:
xrecovered to my 2.1 ...my god the market app just crashes non stop ...so much till i point the finger at my phone ( really pissed!! ) i think i will download a more stable mod maybe a month or 2 later ...gonna rest my mind from modding ...too complex...anyway can bootloader be used on an unmodded phone? and i heard it's very very risky , seeing the guide make me go ??? so complex ...what is kernel anyway? ohoh 1 last question!! is Jit same as bootloader?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mathk:
I can't sure whether this help the ramlessness poor milestone.

when we check the running status , we can easily see there are lots of programs restarting. They keep restarting because of no ram.

is setting up the swap partition helps to reduce this hell repeating process?

this may not help the performance in benchmark but i think it helps the user experience. is it ?:confused:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] KinChungE:
Unfortunately, the locked bootloader don't allow using kernels other than motorola provided. And, the kernel provided by motorola don't support swap.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] brgroover:
swap tweaks can be done via modules same dsi but it's harder
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gwl123:
Are there any roms out that use it?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mohitrocks:
As far as my knowledge extends, no, there are no roms that use it. (note: this is as far as my knowledge extends to, so it might not be accurate)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gwl123:
Would be nice swap would solve alot of milestones runing out of memory issues .
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cronot:
No, there isn't swap support for the Milestone. Swap support on the Linux kernel can only be builtin directly on the kernel, not as a module, and since the MS kernel is locked, we can't build and flash our own kernel with swap support.

So yes, the only solution is trying to hack swap support as a module, but since swap support wasn't meant to be used as a module in the first place, that would be quite a feat, sort of like jamming a square peg in a round hole - a doable, but very complex job, much more so than the dsifix (that's a walk in the park compared to swap module). It's also a not too rewarding one to the Linux community in general because the resulting work would only be usable with the specific Milestone kernel. And there are those that believe that swap support on the Milestone wouldn't improve things a lot - it could actually make things worse, it would probably require a very high performance microSD card to not get any slowdowns at all (nevermind getting speedups). That's one of the points that discourages development a bit, because the benefits of developing a swap module are dubious at this point, compared to the huge amount of work that would be required.

There were a few guys (2 or 3, don't remember) in the milestone dev channel that stated that they "were going to look into it", but they haven't been heard from in a while and those of them that have been heard from, haven't mentioned anything about swap module development since, so it's safe to assume it's not being worked on at all.

And rest assured, if there was a swap module already, it would trickle down to the ROMs available here pretty quickly, so the assumption that there could be some ROM for the MS using swap while others aren't is kind of silly :-P
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] puffo81:
I also think the same: SWAP can resolve problems connected to low RAM available, but the price is slow down almost everything I think.. but I'm curious to see! =)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Yes, the info given by cronot is pretty correct.

As far as I know, neither me nor Skrilax nor Nothize nor anyone else is currently working on such swap module.

When I try to avoid the word 'impossible', then I have to say 'extremely difficult'...

Cronot summed it up very well.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gwl123:
Would a class 10 memory card make any difference just wondering?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gs63:
swap

I found this tread Link:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1309712

This enables swap on webtop and it says it works on the milestone so maybe we could implement this or someone could try this out
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] dstruct2k:
We don't have webtops... Can't see how that could possibly work on our phones.
[Nexus S Android Development] snandlal:
WARNING!!! THIS WILL WIPE EVERYTHING

Found this over at the evo forum by evokings so i took it and made it work for us.

This will most likely prevent problems with installing ROMS. Please Wipe before reporting bugs caused by the User(This means us!) :)

It will wipe:

Boot

Data (Dalvik-cache is included in Data)

System

Cache

You choose what you want to wipe......

This is great for flashing ROMS. If you are using a custom recovery and it has an "update.zip" option, for quicker access just rename the zip to "update.zip"

Downloads:

WIPE--ALL.zip--> Wipes Boot, System, Cache, & Data

WIPE--System_Data_Cache.zip--> Wipes System, Data, Cache

WIPE--Cache_Dalvik-cache.zip--> Wipes Cache & Dalvik-cache

Thank evokings from evo
[Nexus S Android Development] nickmv:
So, to be clear, is this is the equivalent of:

Wipe Cache Partition

Factory/Data Reset

Wipe /system

Full dalvik wipe

????

No sd wipe, I assume?
[Nexus S Android Development] red_skittles:
I dont think it wipes dalvik
[Nexus S Android Development] snandlal:
Sure it does.

Dalvik is either under /cache or /data.

Hence, "Wipes All"
[Nexus S Android Development] snandlal:
Yes. Dalvik is either under the cache partition or the data partition

No sdcard wipe
[Nexus S Android Development] phone_user:
convenient! Thanks :)
[Nexus S Android Development] snandlal:
OP updated with new zip for Wiping ONLY Cache & Dalvik-cache
[Nexus S Android Development] bdpyo:
Is this a hack or mod?
[Nexus S Android Development] snandlal:
I believe a script. Moderators classify it has [HACK]
[Nexus S Android Development] frenccw:
Laziness ftw!!! I will personally be using the Cache + Dalvik Cache wipe the most. Thanks :p
[Nexus S Android Development] bdpyo:
I did a wipe before initially using this script, then applied the wipe all* everything seems great.
[Nexus S Android Development] slayerXcore:
dalvik is /data/dalvik-cache or /cache/dalvik-cache so wiping both data and cache is the same

also the all does format system and format boot which you can find only under mounts and storage in clockwork recovery
[Nexus S Android Development] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
can I ask how this is different from a full wipe in CWM?
[Nexus S Android Development] NORCALkID:
I used this before and I think it does a 3x wipe of each so you don't have too.
[Nexus S Android Development] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
but I thought CWM does wipe everything when you do a full wipe there?

A full wipe wipes /data and /cache and dalvik is under /data i thought.... shrug.
[Nexus S Android Development] snandlal:
Yes your rite. What is so confusing?
[Nexus S Android Development] damnmisur:
My lazy ass is going to use this right now.

[Nexus S Android Development] mixtapes08:
what is the meaning of "wiping the system"? iknow about wiping data,dalvic and boot. i dont know what is "wiping system" all about? does this wipe your sdcard? confussing..>_<
[Nexus S Android Development] Flying Fox:
The SD-card itself will not be touched. Anyway don´t forget a nandroid backup before flashing.

Wiping "system" means wiping the entire operating system. Look here for some explanation: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...plained-boot-system-recovery-data-cache-misc/
[Nexus S Android Development] mixtapes08:
thanks men ^_^
[Nexus S Android Development] belair56:
Some of us don't use clockwork.
[Nexus S Android Development] NORCALkID:
Think of it like this... When you go to the bathroom and you finish taking a dump you don't just wipe once. You make sure everything is clean by wiping a few more times before pulling your pants up... CWM only wipes 1 time to my knowledge so it may not be a rom install and you may have some issues
[Nexus S Android Development] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
then what is the point of this script if CWM does the same? Either this script is wiping something that CWM is not, or whatever.

Yes but in computer when a file is deleted, its deleted. The exception is magnetic storage where you can still do low level recoveries even if you write over the file with 0s because there's hysteresis and some magnetic field left from a previously oriented grain. Deleting something 8 times won't make an install smoother or less buggy. So if someone can kindly explain the difference between this wipe and the CWM wipe, that would be great. I'm trying to understand this in a technical perspective....
[Nexus S Android Development] snandlal:
This doesn't wipe 3 times. It wipes certain partitions by choice of zips. In Clockwork you go to mounts and storage and wipe what you want. Clockwork is great.

This is for wiping multiple partitions at a time. A one shot wipe.
[Nexus S Android Development] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Right I understand the Mounts menu, but what I'm asking is in the WIPE menu of CWM you can:

1) Wipe Dalvik

2) Wipe Cache

3) Wipe Data/Factory Reset

How are each of these different from this script that has:

Downloads:

WIPE--ALL.zip--> Wipes Boot, System, Cache, & Data

WIPE--System_Data_Cache.zip--> Wipes System, Data, Cache

WIPE--Cache_Dalvik-cache.zip--> Wipes Cache & Dalvik-cache

I can see how the 2nd wipe touches System, I can see the difference, but isn't the wipe all the same as a wipe data/factory reset in CWM? Yes so some new wipes came out by the author of this script, but initially this was just a wipe ALL script, and I'm trying to understand how this is different from a factory reset in CWM.
[Nexus S Android Development] snandlal:
Its different from a factory reset in Clockwork because:

Clockwork's factory reset wipes /data and /cache

The wipe all zip above wipes:

/system

/boot

/data

/cache

Sorry for what may seem like a silly question, but:

a) What does wiping the "Boot" do? And, is it necessary when changing roms? Never seen a request to wipe boot and hence the query.

b) Did see it mentioned, but just to be safe ... Does this wipe the contents of the Internal Storage too?

Thanks :)
[Nexus S Android Development] Abaddon:
wipe system wipes nand and boot is the kernel so meaning that it'll wipe kernel and anything related. all safe cwm will still be intact

I am actually using something similar, i.e. wiping files, created by brainmaster, but this will be a good alternative tool. Thanks.!

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S Android Development] rasengan82:
Just wondering, wouldn't it better to wipe using the format function in update-script? For example, for /system you would write:

format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/s3c-sdhci.0/by-name/system", "0", "/system");

The format command works only if the partitions are not mounted so no need to mount them before wiping.
