[Motorola Atrix 2] nahuelarg86:
Hello,

I was wondering, is it good to have an app killer, something like "Advanced App Killer" or "System Panel App"?

I know we have one that came with the phone stock, but the wife has a Captivate and the task manager in that phone is very cool, it even let you release memory for the RAM. And I find that the "Auto-End list" in the Atrix 2 barely works, for me at least.

Any suggestions will be much appreciated.
[Motorola Atrix 2] ntnwwnet:
I second this. The Galaxy S2 I was using before my Atrix 2 had a neat task manager that had the option to "kill all" running applications and allowed one to free up some RAM as well. The provided task manager doesn't really do much...
[Motorola Atrix 2] AnyMal:
These task killers only kill your battery, not much else. Android is more then capable of handling multiple tasks on its own.
[Motorola Atrix 2] JRW 28:
Very true!! Do a little research if you don't believe it yourself. I don't run any task managers or battery helping apps. Most of the time they add to the problems and not solve them.
[Motorola Atrix 2] svtfmook:
atrix 2 has a built in task manager. works rather well actually.

but the 3rd party managers seem to just be a waste of resources.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Gadgetz:
What he said :cool:

I use it to stop apps that i'm not using or don't plan on using anytime soon, mostly when I get ready to play a game of NFL Flick Quarterback, just to make sure plenty of ram is available.
[Motorola Atrix 2] nahuelarg86:
Thanks for the replies guys. I was curious just because I'm a little picky and the Atrix 2 task manager is not very "user friendly".
[Motorola Atrix 2] Atrixed2:
Just use the A2 task manager and add all the apps in AutoKill after 2 mins :P then root and freeze apps that you don't use but running on the background ^_^ no need to release any ram because the system will try to run the background app again :P that is why people say don't use other TM or JD. It is like doing a push up, more work when you go down but its easy to stay up hehehe.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Emoslayer8:
Android with dual core hardware shouldn't ever need a taskkiller. And if your app freezes kill it thru settings or task manager. Thru daily usage this phone does not hang at all. Their are a few apps I have used that froze but that's easy to kill/fix. I would leave it honestly.
[Motorola Atrix 2] lilhaiti:
You are right in that it doesn't need a task manager. But I add all unnecessary apps, such as games, to the auto-kill list in the included task manager and leave the rest to Android to manage. Some games will occupy ram while not running and eventually they will be closed but that usually happens right when that ram is needed and that can lead to an occasional stutter as the OS is reclaiming ram. Also, if one of the memory hogs is using CPU that could have an impact on battery life. I think it is a neat little tool that helps out, but unlike the Market task managers, it doesn't arbitrarily kill all apps, it only kills what you want it to kill. Killing all apps is a bad thing.
[Windows Phone 7 General] the0ne:
When we asked if there would be a demand for a file explorer on windows phone we got a mixed response but coming from windows mobile I always loved the ability to play around and move file with a file explorer . But there is no deneying that fact that with isolated storage for apps , the need ( or use ) for a file explorer on windows phone is not that great .. so after a bit of discussion we decided to throw out the concept we had in mind out there . More info on the 1800PocketPC File Explorer Concept for Windows Phone post

If any devs would like to take a stab at it we would be pleased :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] plasnick:
Sounds like a great idea!

I miss exploring...
[Windows Phone 7 General] siddartha:
wow very nice design :)

i hope this will come for future...
[Windows Phone 7 General] sensboston:
Vain hope, this feature will never be implemented..

P.S. 2 OP: why do you waste time on inherently unrealizable design?
[Windows Phone 7 General] the0ne:
perhaps this could exist as a tool that could work with files that are added to the phone after using it as a USB storage .
[HTC EVO 3D] xavier86:
Right now I have been reading up on talk about future integration of a HID profile that would allow for HID devices like keyboards, mice, game controllers ect to connect to android.

I have found a possible source that makes it seem possible to integrate into the roms. If cyanogenmod can integrate this into their rom, why wouldn't it be possible with the current roms.

I for the most part understand what needs to done and what is involved but with no knowledge on how to go about doing it.

Can this be done?....

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Android-Adding_Bluetooth_Profile
[HTC EVO 3D] LiquidSolstice:
1. We should probably wait for a solid AOSP ROM before we start worrying about adding in something like Bluetooth profiles.

2. When you don't actually know anything about creating a mod (just repeating what you've said in your post, not trying to be offensive) that you post in the dev section, it really shouldn't go here. I would have suggested General, it's fairly active, and you'll probably get a better response.

3. More than even posting it in general, you'd probably get the most productive response if you PMed a CM maintainer, or tweeted to Toast's Twitter or something more direct.
[HTC EVO 3D] timmymarsh:
Ahem,

It appears that I AM a moderator, and i dont care for petty squabbling, i mean, come on guys knock it off.

As this is a possible mod, im moving this thread and cleaning it up.

Please behave guys!
[HTC EVO 3D] xavier86:
My bad. Have my ****s and grins now and then. Crappy work day that day.

Anyway. It looks like that incorporating a new stack in a sense rom Is pretty darn difficult. Since the hid profile Needed is stripped.

As I understand it a new stack would have to be made and modified. To work with sense.

Where as aosp its already included through Android and thats just ported to work with our phones. But maybe a new Bluetooth stack can be ported to a sense ROM someday.

But keep it open, maybe a skilled dev Can crank it out someday.

I'm going to contact toast or maybe a dev on the cyanogen team and maybe they can educate me a little if this can be done on sense or not
[HTC EVO 3D] Drewmungus:
Since this is such a large project it might be worth it to try to get devs together from all the various htc phones. If it could be done it would benefit all of the htc phones. As far as I know there is no advantage to using HTC's bluetooth vs aosp.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaun92:
For the past week, I've been having some problems with incoming calls on my Samsung Galaxy S II. Every time I try to answer a call, I immediately get a "Call Ended" message. All the calls I get seem to go straight to voice mail but i don't have the auto reject option enabled. I don't have any problems calling other people and when i put my SIM card into a different phone, it works just fine.

The problem arose after I flashed the XWKJ3 firmware onto my phone. I've tried reflashing the firmware and I also tried to flash other firmware versions but the problem persists. I've spent hours on google looking for a solution but i failed to find one.
[LG Revolution] jamRwoo:
My friend showed this to me today...It works on his Droid X, but obviously that doesn't mean anything for the Revo.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jrummy.liberty.toolbox&hl=en

The feature list is massive; it's literally every root tool imaginable in one app. It's too much to hope that this will work, really.

Abbreviated List:

ROM Manager

App Manager

Root File Browser

Ad Blocker

Apps2SD

Font Installer

Boot Animation Installer

Battery Icon Changer

Boot Logo Changer

CPU Manager

Build.prop Tweaks

Auto Memory Manager

SD Boost

Sysctl Tweaks

At least some of these probably work?

I'm about two beers into the night right now...Give me about four more and I'll probably be able to tell you which features break your phone. :D
[LG Revolution] omik47:
Been using jrummy16's root tools app for awhile. Decided to try his rom toolbox tonite. Great app! Bought the paid version, worth the $5 for the boot animations alone.

[LG Revolution] jamRwoo:
So it works well with the Revolution then?
[LG Revolution] omik47:
I haven't tried everything yet. The only thing that won't work is the theme chooser, I guess a need CM7 for that, and probably the ROM manager.

[LG Revolution] Nemo Aeternamn:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] innisdb:
I think I figured out why the camera quality isn't as good as it should be. It isn't the sensor, its the processing the software is doing, or lack or processing I should say. I think the reason the camera has such a fast shutter is because the pictures are not being processed almost at all. If you take a picture and you go in the built in editing and change some values, the pictures come out very clear and good. I think the camera quality can definately be much much better with some software tweaks but we might lose some of that fast shutter speed
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rashad1:
Good observation.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
I'm not sure if people are are doing this or not. But you also should be pressing the button and hold until the reticle turns green so it focuses, then let go. Otherwise you get pictures out of focus. If you want to take superfast pics, you don't need to do that, but you risk getting blurry photos.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] innisdb:
Ya tapping to focus or holding the shutter definately produces better shots but they are still very washed outa
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gambiting:
DSLRs don't do any processing at all. You can take pictures as fast as the memory card can save them. You couldn't take instant pictures on phones earlier because the camera controller physically could not transfer the data from all the cells in such a short time. Pixel data had to be saved to a slow buffer and then saved to memory - very slow process. It's not like there was any processing going on in the background - there wasn't :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] innisdb:
Ya but dslr's are a little different considering the sensor and lenses are 50x bigger, smart phones rely on image processing to make good pictures
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DroidBehavior:
i am rooted using miui latest version

it seems NoLeD does not work, my favorite app

i need an alternative or clarification if it will be supported in future miui builds (cant post in dev thread yet XD )

another question relating to miui

every since i used miui my gps navigation does not lock on, ive tried clearing cache, and using gps status toolbar but nothing seems to work

thanks!! also if there is no alternative to NoLeD does any one here have something they do to show they have texts they havent read? its a great feature but its not 100% mandatory that i have it

..maybe something that vibrates my phone every 30 seconds until i turn it off?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Adelaide.:
You are probably better off asking in the MIUI forums unless you are using the version of MIUI still available in the dev forum. There is no support available for Galnet MIUI on xda.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
I'm liking 'easy reminder' almost as much as I liked bln. I set it to a quieter ringtone to go off every 15min if there's an unread message or a missed call I haven't checked.

Has made my paranoia of checking my phone every few minutes from having a 'phantom vibrate' and wondering if I just missed a call or message.

thanks, ok i will check out those 2 apps

i like the default sms though how it wakes the screen

does rooting or using my rom increase my signal? i dont know what i did but when im at home i always had horrid signal, so bad i could not even check facebook or browse google

but right now i can check facebook and even download apps on app store, i think i went from -120 db to -100 db, im just not sure why but if its because i rooted, well i wish i knew i could do that from the start lol :D

also the gps thing fixed itself, i think it was due to my location (was at work but outside the building ) i had good reception but when i tried it further down the street it locked on immediately

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vbhines:
I've noticed that I've never gotten my radio or signal indicator to turn "blue" (or whatever color) - it's always been gray on the Skyrocket. I was under the impression that, starting with 2.3, a colored indicator signified a valid connection to Google services, whereas gray meant you had data connectivity, but that GTalk was essentially not marshalling all your Google syncing. I thought it may have been because the Skyrocket is the first device that I've used my Google Apps account as my initial account, but then I noticed over in the screenshots thread that everyone else had gray indicators as well. I'm also seeing a bunch of warnings in logcat about "RADIO TECHNOLOGY CHANGED."

I'm especially interested in anyone that can shed light on this because I'm not getting any background syncing, other than GMail. Latitude, Facebook, and all other "syncish" services appear to only update when they have focus.

I'm fully stock at this point, using the PTA APN in a non-LTE market, though I have tried the WAP APN as well, without success. My SIM has also (allegedly) been provisioned for LTE. I did call AT&T about this, but ended the call once the girl had to Google what the Latitude service does.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
Its always grey and make sure you have background data enabled and auto sync
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vbhines:
Thank you, yes. They are always gray, and I do definitely have background data and auto-sync enabled. My questions probably weren't very clearly stated:

1) Does anyone else think it's odd that the indicators are always gray? I've had several 2.3 devices, including two others with Samsung TW on AT&T, that all colored signal indicators when connected to Google services. I thought this was one of the artifacts of 2.3.

2) Is anyone else having issues with Google services not auto-syncing, such as Latitude?
[General Questions and Answers] DJ_smooth:
Since I have screwed up my Atrix screen while repairing the glass, decided I would rather spend money on a new phone than another repair attempt. I've got my eyes on 3 phones but I have a lot of questions.

I'm on ATT with an unlimited plan so I don't want to switch carriers. I have a lot of bluetooth gadgets (keyboard, mouse, zephyr heart rate monitor, OBDII adapter) so bluetooth performance is important. I also would like a hardware keyboard if possible but that is pretty rare on the high end phones these days.

I am considering the Samsung Galaxy Note, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, and the Motorola Droid 4.

Several previous Samsung models had significant bugs in their bluetooth stack. Are those fixed now on current models?

Will there be a Droid 4 released internationally with AT&T HSPDA or LTE bands?

How hackable are the Galaxy Note and Droid? Motorola has a mixed record on locked bootloaders lately.

Is there any reason to believe that a Galaxy Nexus with AT&T LTE might be released or is HSPDA as good as it will get?

Thanks for your time.

I was a little surprised I didn't find anything about this in a search, but:

Is there a possibility that the Kindle app from the Kindle touch could be ported to run along side the nook app? The android kindle app is very rough on the NT (page animations... ugh - unless there is a way to get rid of them). I understand than its probably very imbedded in the OS itself, but I wonder how difficult it would be to port it.
