Hey all. I recently got a theme for my ADWLauncher and I was wondering would it consume more battery than using the default ADWLauncher theme?

Thanks

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhussa:
battery only if the theme is brighter and that too minimal.. if it looks good to you then go ahead! worst case....if u r looking at it now for a day.. look at a more beautiful version for a little less time!! ;)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] if4ct0r:
Not really. Go ahead and enjoy the power of customization. :) The theme wont really affect battery usage that much to get even notice.

The only thing that may consume battery power is if you decide to use live wallpapers and a lot of animations and stuff.

Other than that nothing major to worry about. :)

Hey I used ADW launcher EX a very long time and loved it.

However running ADW launcher on top of a sense build phone causing a bigger battery drainage.

If you want to run ADW i suggest you get a stock rom and then use ADW.

When you put it on top of Sense, Sense still runs on the background and therefor uses more battery.

I'm using Aura rom 1.2.2.2. and I noticed the battery life is terrible, so I installed watchdog and a cpu monitor.

I find out that the cpu is running 1 ghz constantly and cpu load is always above 50%.

watch dog is showing alert of process "xorg" is using 40-50% cpu.

my kernel is (the one come with aura): 2.6.32.9 - MB860-GB-Faux123-v0.2.1 paul@ubuntu#18 (ubuntu??)

any idea what can I do?

thanks
[Atrix 4G General] kossel:

[Atrix 4G General] TeoLam:
Could you tell me what is the relation about the "xorg" process and ... the webtop?

I dont have this problem, but I would like to know.
[Atrix 4G General] ravilov:
Google it. Xorg is what drives any Linux desktop GUI, and webtop is essentially that.
[Atrix 4G General] d3athsd00r:
Exactly. The xorg process is a byproduct of Web top. If you don't use webtop, you could always format that partition and then you won't have to worry about it anymore.

its normal for ics. Exactly the same problem happens in honeycomb.

you can use wallpaper wizardri (something like that)

You can try manually packing it. Just place the xml file in drawable then select all files that should be in the apk and make a zip of them with the name framework-res.apk , compression set to normal. If the framework is not messed than it should work otherwise i think u messed up something in drawable-hdpi. Most probably u deleted a png from their. But i am not at all sure.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] antonda:

the framework is it a odex Version or deodexed?

I think its deodexed as he is creating this theme for his rom which is deodexed.

do you use apk-tool? i also have problems with framework recompiling and $omator obviously too. the bug has already been confirmed and got medium priority

http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/issues/detail?id=260

edit: sorry didn't read properly, you used apk-tool ;) . i think we will have to wait for a fix from brut.all

edit2: i assume you are talking about jvz framework-res.apk, right? It used to work flawless till 2.3.5 at least for me
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] whaave:
I have experienced the same issue, and I found the following to work (at least on JVT):

1. Get a copy of a stock deodexed firmware. (Or deodex it yourself).

2. Decompile framework-res.apk from the stock firmware, and change the stock .xml-file.

3. Recompile it. This should work, as the only change you've made so far is to the .xml-file.

4. Open both the recompiled stock framework-res.apk that you've changed, and the framework-res.apk that you initially wanted to change in WinRAR (or similar).

5. Copy the modded .xml-file from the stock framework-res.apk to the one you initially wanted to change.

I have had to do this procedure every time I wanted to change an already modded/themed APK.

Let me know if it works.

PS: Make a backup of the .xml-file in your framework-res.apk, so you can change back if it doesn't work.

I'm interested in the feasibility of running MHL on Android devices which only have a Micro-USB port, but don't already support it.

I know that MHL doesn't require specialized cables, but is it just a software feature of the OS, or is some sort of extra chip required for it?

I'm just hoping that there's a possibility of my device someday gaining this feature, even if it wasn't originally tailored to.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airanp:
I have a Samsung Focus v1.3 and it is dev unlocked. I decided to do the interop unlock/tethering hack and now I have problems with my wifi. The hack worked fine. I can connect to my network via wifi and get on the internet. It works for a few minutes but seems to just stop and not work after a few minutes or after my phone locks up. I can turn wifi off and on again and it works, but only temporarily. I have to use 3g now all the time and it is not an issue cause I have unlimited data but it's not as fast as my home network. I am wondering if anyone else has noticed this or if there is a setting that needs to be adjusted after I installed it. I also installed the advanced config tool but did not change any of the setting except to tell me when I have 3g+. I can change that back but the problem still exists. Any help would be appreciated, and thanks in advance. I can give more detailed information about my setup if needed.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DMan1993:
It's a long story to tell but I'll say it anyway.

So for a while I've been having problems with CM7 but I've always been able to fix them by going back to my previous rom (Bombaridier 3.5). The thing is I absolutely love CM7 so I always try to go back to that rom and pray that I don't have a problem with it. So yesterday I was able to flash it with no problems. I made my backups and everything was alright for the day. I fell asleep watching a movie on the phone and this morning I found that the battery was depleted. I thought "okay" and just turned it back on. I boot it to find it stuck in an infinite boot loop. I had this problem once before and I just fixed it by installing Bombaridier 3.5 back on through Clockwork Recovery. Usually when I have an infinite boot loop, I can't fix it by fixing permissions or restoring from a backup (they would boot back into the infinite loop before even beginning) so either a data wipe or a complete installation of another rom would fix it, but this time, rom installation and data wiping faced the same issue so it also booted into the infinite loop. I tried looking through the forums and google for a solution but nothing came up. In a last ditch of effort I tried restoring to my unroot stock rom and this time it was able to boot to the main screen, but only for about 5 seconds. After that it continued to the infinite loop. I tried to go into the Clockwork Recovery menu, but little did I know the unroot stock rom made my recovery a stock recovery, so I can't do anything with roms and backups. The stock recovery had the option to wipe data but when I tried to do that, it literally did nothing (as in the power button had no effect on the options). So now I'm stuck on a stock recovery while on an infinite loop CM7. Since I know rooting and using roms voids my warranty, is there any solution to this problem?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DMan1993:
Okay I was able to go into download mode and root again so now I have Clockwork Recovery back, but I still have the same problem when trying to fix permissions, wipe data, and restoring a rom (infinite boot loop) so can someone please help me out?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Born_Immaculate88:
Have you tried:

- Taking out the battery, plug your charger into the computer, plug the usb charger into your phone and then putting in the battery.

- In recovery mode try using the "Home" button to select factory data reset

- Get into download mode and Odin restore to stock

Hope this helps

---------- Post added at 07:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:15 PM ----------

You have to wipe the cache partition, dalvik cache and wipe / factory data reset.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DMan1993:
thank you for the first reply but since i'm back to clockwork recovery i can't factory reset or it will boot back into the infinite loop during the proccess. Since I can access download mode, how do I restore back to a stock rom using odin?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AznDud333:
fully bricked and you can get into clockwork recovery?

lol that's a first...try to describe your problem properly before asking for help..if you have clockwork recovery just load a stable rom(like eagles blood) onto a sd card and flash away(after wiping everything..duh)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mikeyinid:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DMan1993:
If you read I explained in detail how I couldn't flash a ROM, wipe data, fix permissions, or restore from backup because they would

all end the same way, cutting off and rebooting into the infinite boot loop. Luckily I was able to fix it by flashing a stock ROM through Odin in download mode but this would have never helped. Thanks for the effort but next time read it carefully.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AznDud333:
fully bricked means you can't turn it on..let alone get into recovery

if you could get into recovery then anything could be fixed..pretty much.

there is no reading it carefully or not, watch the terms you use when you describe a problem because brick=/=being able to get into recovery..it is called recovery for a reason.

now just to explain to you what brick means, here's definition from wikipedia

When used in reference to consumer electronics, "brick" describes a device that cannot function in any capacity (such as a device with damaged firmware). This usage derives from the fact that some electronic devices (and their detachable power supplies) are vaguely brick-shaped, and so those which do not function are useful only as actual bricks. The term can also be used as a verb. For example, "I bricked my MP3 player when I tried to modify its firmware."[1]

your deviced turned on and got into recovery, that is no where near being bricked..not even a soft brick.

I grabbed WhatsApp from my SonyEricsson Xperia Arc S (swedish) with TitaniumBackup Pro and copied it over to my Sony Tablet S.

TitaniumBackup Pro does not work well on this tablet. I did not get the three menu-buttons you have on top on smartphones. So I could not choose backup/restore.

So I decided to try another route. I took the backuped files from Titanium in my smartphone and moved them to my tablet (the apk-file) and installed it with astero. It went well. I started up the app, and it said it didn't recognized my device. So I copied the data-files from /data/data to the tablet. It did not help.

So I did not managed to get WhatsApp to work on my tablet. Other than get to the startup where I have to press "approve" then it told me it's a no go.

I even tried to reboot the device, but it didn't help.

Hope this might answer some of your questions.
