[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CyberpunkDad:
Just curious is most people who root/use custom ROMs overclock, and if so, what settings do you typically use in SetCPU?

I'm using a S2, rooted with latest Unnamed ROM and find myself contemplating if I should make any changes with SetCPU. Lots of options, and Unnamed has all the different governor options, etc. just really looking for some best practices that people who overclock often.

Would appreciate seeing what you consider to be stable overclock options that give a good boost without causing excessive heat/stability issues.

I'm coming at SetCPU with limited experience so I do appreciate any tips that might see rudimentary, or if there are better resources that teach about this I'd appreciate any links as would like to get a better technical understanding of all this. Thanks in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 21cdb:
I use No Frills CPU, and I just set it to 1.6 max/ondemand. Absolutely no heat issues or stability issues, so I just stuck with it. Battery life is good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tmckenn2:
most maybe but only by a little bit. a good number of people underclock and undervolt their devices to try and get better battery life. to be honest, the newer phones dont need overclocking to handle the current apps and stuff. the older phones like the nexus one and older need overclocking tho. i leave my gs2 stock. what we really need is dual core support before OC becomes worth it on my phone. ymmv
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] yoderk:
I have never overclocked mine, phone runs smooth as butter at 1.2 so I don't see the need to go farther. Plus I like my battery lasting more than 24 hours...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] codemansGT:
I overclock my s2. im running unamed 1.3.0. I like run different speeds at different at different battery percents. 1.6 till 75% 1.4 till 50% 1.2 till 25% 1000 till 15% 800mhz till dead. i had some problems with 1.4 ghz but i tweeked the voltage and that did solved my problem. I'm at 50% battery with normal usage. display 1hr 25mn phone calls for 47min and android os for 56min. my phone doesn't get any hotter then it did before i overclocked. I just did it to say i did. It will prolly help a little unless you like emulators then it will help alot. i have to overclock my iconia a500 to 1.6 if i want to play n64 games.

[Android Apps and Games] mr72:
OK, so Juice Defender and K-9 Mail are both quite popular.

I am running CM7 on an HTC Aria (Liberty). Trying to get a hair more battery life with JD, but unfortunately with JD enabled, my email does not sync, ever, using K-9 mail.

K-9 is set to poll every 15 minutes for two accounts (no push).

JD is set up with essentially the default settings. K-9 is on the list of apps to work all the time including screen off.

Anyone have any clues about how to make these two apps work together?
[Android Apps and Games] ithehappy:
Don't know how to get those two things working together but if you are trying to achieve good battery life outta your device then please uninstall JD, it causes more drain than saving it. Read XDA topics, it has been stated already.

hey guys,

came across this tour of the HD2 software:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5o6tj7yFBQ&feature=relmfu

It looks soooo nice! i know winmobile is **** and nothing compared to android, but htc has done a really nice job on skinning it and the speed it just phenomenal!

was wondering if it was possible to get this rom on our phones, or is that just completely impossible?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craiglay:
It was also really smooth on my Touch Diamond 2 and Touch Pro 2, running WinMo 6.5.5 was as nice and smooth as Android on my DZ..

Its more than just a theme though. It was a complete OS GUI integration replacing many of the corporate boring Windows Mobile functions with pretty Sense ones. Pitty it didn't catch on, It was actually a decent effort.

I have the Desire Z with sense and TBH, it was good enough that my DZ home screens are not far off what I had on WinMo.

[HTC Sensation] fopho:
So about a week ago I got a new phone and gave my gf the HTC Sensation I had. At the time I had it running LeeDroid 4.1 and I was getting good performance out of it (battery life included, about 14-18 hours depending on usage). I consider myself a moderate to heavy user depending on the day.

However, once I gave my GF the phone it had spiraled down hill for her. First, after only changing the sim card, the battery became very unstable. The best battery life she has got out of it has been 6 hours. Of light use (20 minutes of games, and text messages). I tried swapping to CM to see if it would be better because from my experiences I have always had the best battery life using Cyanogen mod. Same problem there as well. I know that you should give a rom a few days to stabalize but I have never had the battery life be 6 hours even on a new rom.

The current problem with her phone is random reboots, or the screen not just coming awake. At first it was randomly rebooting so I suspected a kernel problem. So I changed to the faux kernel and brought it down to 1.0ghz max and left it. It stopped randomly rebooting but is there a way to make the screen stop coming awake? Currently we have to pull the battery to solve this.

Thanks for any help.

Hello,

I have got a bit tired of waiting for the OTA volume fix and decided to tr and apply it manually.

I made a mistake and used the following command fastboot flash boot cwm.img.

now my nexus just boots into cwm is there any way I can fix this?

Now when I try to use fastboot it just keep saying (waiting for device), and the phone sits in CWM

any help would be appreciated.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spences10:
Excellent we have someone to test the script :D

You could just try flash the boot.img to the boot partition

fastboot boot boot.img

And if that works

fastboot flash boot.img
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cthuluh:
Hi,

I took the battery out for a few minutes and when I put it back in I booted it into fastboot, which it wouldnt do earlier (kept booting cwm).

I then used the instructions supplied in the google factory image download mentioned above.

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primekj10.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxkk1.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot -w update image-yakju-itl41d.zip

And all is now well.

lesson learned dont flash while drinking red wine.

Thanks again

[General Questions and Answers] Alex1x:
There are so many talented developers here on xda and their passion for creativity only led many to working for free just to express their art. Fellow flashers (including myself) would not exist if it weren't for the developers.

I've been searching for an Android apps developer everywhere, and the thought just crossed my mind, XDA. A place I've gained respect for the development community.

So, I pose a question (with much respect), how to approach a Developer and find out if they would be interested in a "small app project for hire?"

If you are a Developer, I would love your pm.

Btw, I hope I'm not breaking any rules or offending anyone, as my pure intention is only driven by the developers passion here on XDA (otherwise, I have searched guru, but don't know anything about those developers).

I recommend posting in the general (non device specific) android apps section. U will find more ppl. Also of the app is really simple u can use buzztouch.com or appsbar (both are free) to make it on your own with not much technical knowledge. Ive made a few simple apps using those and I'm a pretty basic user.

[General Questions and Answers] Alex1x:
I went to buzztouch and it seems like creating menus and content management is easy to use, but the actual app is created with eclipse? I don't have the coding knowledge (example, moving objects etc...). I'm decent with design/ drag and drop but not at all with codes. Looking forward to developers response :)
[General Questions and Answers] ravizzle:
eclipse is only used to compile the app and is pretty straightforward to do. no coding necessary, and the buzztouch also spits out source for an ios app at the same time so u can have your app on multiple platforms all at once.

[Motorola Photon 4G] w0lf215:
Can someone walk me through installing the gapps zip package on CM7, i did it once after i installed it, i wiped cache and dalvik cache before i flashed the zip and i had a bunch of force closes in the settings and stuff ever since then.. I now have a new phone(old one had major issues) and just flashed over CM7 and want gapps back, but want to make sure im using the right zip package and im doing it right so i dont end up with fc's again. thanks. If you could post a link to the gapps that would be great!! I used "gapps-gb-20110828-signed" the first time and dont know if i installed it wrong, or if i picked wrong gapps zip in first place.

EDIT: It would only(but always) force close when i went into settings to try and change or view my current ringtone, or notification ringtone. It seems to be somehow related to the gapps.. Is there anyone who has the gapps working on their CM7 Photon who can walk me through what they did??
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
After installing Cm7, reboot, then flash gapps. No need to clear anything. There is a link to gapps on the first page of mineharts cm7.

^Exactly, dont clear anything. Just flash cm7, boot up, boot back into recovery, and flash gapps. And you should be good to go. If you need any further help feel free to PM me.

It turns out it was how i was restoring settings from the stock rom via TiBackup that somehow caused my force closes, so i have that fixed and now have gapps. Thanks for being so kind for such nooby questions

When it reaches 100% in the Samsung car dock it tells you to take it out of the charger. Also someone told me it's better the less juice the battery has before you begin charging it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mstrk242:
You really can't overcharge lith-ion batteries. They all require active charging, so once it's full it's not like it keeps drawing power. I don't think the amount of battery left, either, has any bearing on charging it.

i always leave my phone plugged in at night

so yeah, it does waaaaay over charge past 100%

it'll stop charging when it reaches full

My question is very simple. If I can (with RSPL), after flashed a Custom Rom, what bootloader will I have?
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwalk74:
You can flash a custom ROM with rspl, but after reboot you will have spl again. RSPL is temporary, HSPL is permanent.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androyx96:
Thanks for the answer, but if I have SPL version 4.x, and I flash a Custom Rom, (with RSPL I mean), after flashing I still have version 4.x? Or which version?
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sh4d0w86:
you can't currently XSPL with OSPL 4.xx.

you would need to downgrade OSPL, first.

then, you could RSPL.

[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androyx96:
I have the latest HTC HD7 Mango ROM (with Internet Sharing and OSPL 5.10) so can I directly flash a NoDo (or Pre NoDo) ROM to downgrade OSPL (to install late RSPL)? Or not?
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sh4d0w86:
i am not sure what you are asking now...

you said you have OSPL 4.xx, but now saying 5.xx.

the tutorial explains everything, nonetheless.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androyx96:
The first was an example, the second (OSPL 5.xx) is what I really have now. So, can I do this or not
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sh4d0w86:
yes, one could flash a Custom ROM only with RSPL.

but, atm, RSPL can only be done with OSPL's 3.xx, 2.xx, and 1.xx.

you would need to downgrade OSPL 5.xx, first.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androyx96:
OK, thanks. So, at the end, if I have OSPL 3.xx and I install RSPL (NOT HSPL) and I flash a CUSTOM Mango ROM, I still have OSPL 3.xx?
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sh4d0w86:
yes, with RSPL, upon a reset [in this case, flashing Custom ROM] Bootloader will revert back to OSPL.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mchristian:
Class Action Lawsuit Filed Against CIQ Claiming Smartphone Wiretap Violations

Seattle, WA: A group of consumers filed a nationwide class-action lawsuit claiming that smartphone manufacturers HTC Corporation, HTC America, Inc. and Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd use software developed by Carrier IQ, Inc. ("CIQ") that illegally intercepts incoming text messages and captures users' key strokes—including those used to compose email and text messages or to dial numbers—without consumers' knowledge or permission.

In mid-November, software developer Trevor Eckhart published a video blog illustrating the operation of the CIQ software recording keystrokes, including information sent to secure websites using HTTPS security protocols used in e-commerce and other security-sensitive sites.

After Eckhart published his discovery and documents he found on CIQ's website, CIQ accused him of copyright violations and threatened legal actions unless he capitulated to the company's demands. The Electronic Frontier Foundation, a public-interest digital rights watchdog stepped in to defend Eckhart and CIQ later apologized to Eckhart and rescinded its demands.

According to CIQ, its software is embedded on smartphones to allow the company to collect data for the benefit of cellular carriers and device manufacturers, which is important to improving customer experience, such as logging information related to dropped calls. CIQ says its program does not log keystrokes or intercept messages and it does not store or resell the information.

The lawsuit alleges that, in reality, the program does record keystrokes and the content of messages, and could transmit the information to third parties, possibly including information sent to secure websites using HTTPS security protocols used in e-commerce and other security-sensitive sites such as banking.

The complaint was filed on behalf of four smartphone users and names smartphone manufacturers HTC and Samsung as defendants along with CIQ. The lawsuit could be amended to include other smartphone manufacturers that embed the CIQ software on their devices.

The suit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, accuses the companies of violating the Federal Wiretap Act and California's Unfair Business Practice Act. The Federal Wiretap Act prohibits the unauthorized interception or illegal use of electronic communications.

The lawsuit asks the court to award damages under the Federal Wiretap Act, and prevent companies from including similar software in future smartphones.

I have looked around and searched but cannot find anything about speeding up the transition from potrait to landscape mode. Is there such a way?
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
If running eclipse there is a setting in eclipse parts under animations etc.
[Motorola Droid X2] Elite49:
Just for screen rotation? Not on mine, 1.2 though.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
U change the speed of all animations and it makes the rotation faster
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
I just switched back to an eclipse nand backup and played with the animations and found that even if I play with the animation speed it didnt speed up the transition from portrait to landscape that I could notice so I switched them off and now going from portrait to landscape is basically instant.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Yeah u can turn off all animation from phone display settings.

I was going to recommend that next. I thought u liked the animation and just wanted to speed then up a bit.

I think it also helps a bit (a little) with battery life by turning off animation.

I know the cpu doesn't spike as long or as high during screen rotation/animation since when I open setcpu and rotate screen with animation on u see it jump to 1000 for a couple seconds and I didn't see it do that when animation off...prolly wont see a big difference but its subtle....
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
