Yeah maybe better preserve some additional bytes.

Tough i won't use CWM for now.

O.K. i see...

Interesting fact about p2.

To my surprise i'm still on ~200MB for p2 while running ICS on my pad.

The console gives me disk usage of 94% for p2 though.

Did it like this:

- my device came with HC installed

- used the temp root

- activated SDE by flashing letama's kernel and initramfs

- removed temp root

- rebooted into recovery

- removed stock HC, by wiping all related partitions

- installed stock ICS from recovery

- booted into stock ICS

- transfered rooted ICS ext4 image to p4

- rebooted to recovery

- used developer edition menu to reflashed the related kernel and initramfs

In the end i got dual-boot via recovery... stock and custom rooted

Something to be afraid of?

Regards,

scholbert
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
It won't hurt to make a compatible layout just in case

P2 size will be changed only if present partition table gets screwed or a partition would "disappear", otherwise no changes are done- take a look into /etc/scripts/recovery_lib.sh

As for dual boot:

-if you have the same system running (HC or ICS) for both there should be no problem with data/system settings corruption

-after booting stock firmware you will have to allow root for your apps once more- system cleans data for not present apps during boot

-if you would get FC's or bootloop: create wipe-dalvik.update file, place it on /data/media (or /mnt/storage) and boot SDE- this will wipe dalvik-cache; for ICS recovery it's possible to export /data (nad HDD for HDD models) as usb drive
[Gen9 Android Development] letama:
Yes, I confirm that cwm wants /cache, and as a partition. It could be tweaked to do without but it's a bit annoying to do.

And yes, it will resize to 300M but only if you delete your system or data partition and go back to Archos recovery to repair it.

On my side, I didn't do a separated data partition as I didn't want to loose the data/storage space sharing, but it's definitely an option. I choose to use last partition to have rooted stable on one and development build on the other one with dual boot from initial fbmenu, but it's up to you.

Last, little teaser :)

[Gen9 Android Development] scholbert:
Hey letama,

Take your time.

Almost! What I want is to be present on irc to make sure that all steps are going well and if not, to be able to fix things before it's too late. There shouldn't be any problem, I used same scripts for IT2 and G9 without problem, but just in case...

[Motorola Droid Bionic] ergosumcausa:
Are you sure the second link in the previous post (same as here:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1279825) didn't work on XP?

Here is my story:

I was running the stock rom,

was rooted using the "one-click" method,

updated via OTA to .893,

and lost root.

So, using the instructions I posted above,

flashed the rom to stock,

rooted,

forever rooted,

then applied the OTA update to .893.

I still have root and am at .893. To be honest, it was pretty painless considering how things can go.

My only caveat is that I did this from Ubuntu Linux, but I would be shocked if WinXP wasn't working.

That thread worked great! I had rooted previously, but lost proper root with the OTA update. The zerg method worked and now I have root back.

Now I'm just wondering if that will keep the forever root...If I figure it out, I'll repost here.

---------- Post added at 01:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 PM ----------

Forever root needed afterward. We'll see if everything holds once the 901 update comes out.

No idea why this wasn't. . well more advertised but indeed I get the fastest (and most stable) GPS fixes i ever had.

Just sharing the joy. .
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Techvir:
GLONASS support and fast GPS fix is well know...

Since it works so well, no one cares to complain ( like in SGS ) and less know.

You r right. GPS fix is fastest that i have ever seen. Way better than my garmin devices. Even on a cloudy day

GPS lock is insanely fast on this device. Samsung did a great job on this Peabody.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ericshmerick:
Barometer.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] vansmuk:
barometer can only make a difference in the altitude readings ( how high you are;) ) Broadcom states that the Note can use data from twice as many satellites than, let's say, GS2. And as winnie the pooh said: The more - the mucher :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] reinbeau:
I can't wait to finally have good GPS again. My Captivate actually isn't too bad - for a Captivate. Having come from a Garmin iQue 3600, however, I have been very frustrated with it.

Peabody - I can't believe you said that. I wonder how many will get the reference?

Altitude has always been an issue with GPS. Garmin came out with an aviation 3600 that sold well, but the standard GPS measuring tools are better on the horizontal plane, rather than the vertical, it will be interesting to see how this has advanced.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] betoNL:
BCM47511 chipset? I was hoping the Note would have the SirfstarIV chipset...

But seems to be everybody is happy with the Note's Gps performance anyway so....it's all good..

Gonna get my Note in January....it's about time to make new gps videos...

The ones on my sign is from my sgs's eclair times :eek:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] donomark:
I can confirm the incredible quick fix of the Note'GPS: the best one I ever had .

Even the sensitivity is great. I just tried now to fix with the phone inside the apartment. It took 8 seconds for a cold fix while other phones or gps system were not even able to get a fix (including my previous GS II) .

In the car it takes +/- 5 seconds for a cold fix. In the past I could start driving for sometime while waiting for the gps fix in other phones or GPS system.

I'm fully satisfied with the note gps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfoksn:
Is there a way to get CWM on a stock phone without having to flash kernels through the Odin? I don't have a jig and I don't want to have binary count go up as I flash CWM..

I know I wouldn't have to worry about binary count/yellow triangle if I could get the CWM on the phone initially...

Any ideas?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfoksn:
Anyone with any ideas? I am just afraid that I might have to take it to Sprint just in case there is some problem.

I am planning to update to EL12 ROM/Modem/Kernel after I get CWM and I just don't want to be able to become stuck with the binary count up.

ALSO SIDE QUESTION: WHEN DOES BINARY COUNT GO UP? I FLASHED CRAWLCJ'S DEODEXED STOCK ROOTED BUSYBOX ROM AND IT SEEMS THAT I STILL HAVE 0 BINARY COUNT. WHY IS THAT?

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
Binary count goes up when you flash a kernel that has not been signed by Samsung using Odin. To get CWM without Odin, use sfhub's automated root tool.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Magicspell:
Yeah, what he said...

Thank you, trying it but it's actually stuck at "Asking for root permissions.."

I am rooted for sure, I am not sure why it's not going through. I've been running SetCPU and my superuser is working fine..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Turn on your screen, exit lock screen, rerun the step you were doing, you will see a permission prompt on your screen, allow that prompt. I disabled the warning since the bundled v3 superuser doesn't require it, but if you skip option A and have superuser 2.3, you will get the prompt. Or you could run option A to upgrade your Superuser

[HTC Amaze 4G] Spovik:
Make sure you look at the power. Definitely don't go for anything less than 1 amp. I always look for a dual USB 2 amp so if I need to really use some juice it can handle it (the phone will limit what it draws).

Quick google search:

[HTC Amaze 4G] mur130:
Guys, thanks for the suggestion.

I actually bought AmazonBasics 2-Port USB Car Charger with 2.1 Amp Output and returned already.

Still won't charge or hold the battery when using google nav and 4g. Lost about 15% after 40mins drive.

I think I need to find something with 1000ma output.
[HTC Amaze 4G] icanhazxda:
Am I missing something or isn't 2.1amp = 2100ma :confused:
[HTC Amaze 4G] Spovik:
Nope, you aren't missing anything. :)

http://www.unitconversion.org/current/milliamperes-to-amperes-conversion.html

So with 4G and nav it still drains? To me that sounds like there is some sort of problem with the power system. Are you using a different USB cable or the one with the phone? I can't test since I rarely use my navigation, but maybe someone else can. To me it sounds like an issue somewhere between battery and car's cigarette lighter/power point.
[HTC Amaze 4G] brocco99:
This Bracketron charger

Bracketron Universal Dual USB Car Adapter (UGC-298-BL)

(or on Amazon, search for B0056VNVV8)

is working great for me -- and its LED indicator will let you know if the charger isn't making good contact with the lighter socket -- an all to common problem.

The 2.1 amp socket is great future-proofing should you ever want to charge a tablet in the car (shouldn't be needed or useful for the Amaze).
[HTC Amaze 4G] mur130:
Well, someone tested the Amazon car adapter only 500mA each ports so I thought 1amp is not truly 1000mA. Sorry.

Brocco99, thanks. Found it in amazon. Will Give it a try.

Spovik, I tried the cable that comes with the phone and still lost 10% within 20mins. Same car adapter. However, this adapter doing fine with Samsung Vibrant. Charged 15%. Only difference is Google Nav with 3G instead.

Anyhow, I think last solution will be AC to DC converter after one last try.
[HTC Amaze 4G] downloader123:
Sweetie,

1 ampere = 1000 milliamperes

A = amp = ampere

m = milli = 1/1000

1 A = 1000 mA

The only reason people get readings of 500 mA are if they're actually reading mAh (milliampere/hours) which is entirely different OR if the charger is a piece of crap... The ratings are maximum values.

One that says it's rated for 2.1 amps is generally 1 amp per port (again, MAXIMUM). It doesn't divert the empty port's amperage to the one in use. They're not smart. They're stupid!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xRogerxC:
Got my Verizon Galaxy Nexus yesterday, what a beautiful work of art! I've been researching this morning on unlocking and rooting, and it seems like there are a hundred different guides out there for this process.

My question for everyone is which guide worked best for you, with the least amount (or no) problems? I already have ADB setup as I've rooted quite a few phones before. If you can link me in the right direction along with any notes on problems or pointers, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks everyone, and have a great Friday/Weekend :)

By searching, I found these two guides that look pretty good. Anyone use either of these guides, and did you have any problems or notes that would be helpful?

if you're already rooted "quite a few phones", you shouldn't have any issues rooting this device.

fastboot oem unlock. it will wipe all your /data.

fastboot flash recovery c:\downloads\cwm-recovery.img

boot into recovery and flash superuser.zip or manually setup su.

this should be one of the simpliest devices to root! thx google!

hope those steps help!
[LG Optimus 3D] walterddr:
I have tried to use some apps to turn off the backlight permanently but not work for my O3D.

So I tried an odd way to do it.

I tried to forced brightness value to 0 by using

echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/keyboard-backlight/brightness
chmod 444 /sys/class/leds/keyboard-backlight/brightness

Running this script should permanently kill off your keyboard LED. you can use

echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/keyboard-backlight/brightness
chmod 444 /sys/class/leds/keyboard-backlight/brightness

to turn on the LED or use:

chmod 664 /sys/class/leds/keyboard-backlight/brightness

to restore system automatic operation

I have written a simple apk file for u who dont have gscript.

the app just run the script above, you can always run the script on gscript or any terminal emulator you want (needs su)

Bug:

This runs perfect on my O3D now with Acurarom, but it sill have some problem with CM7-SF ROMs. Anybody knows what is the problem here?

For those who found the script useless, you might try to add two lines after turning on/off

chown 0 /sys/class/leds/keyboard-backlight/brightness
chgrp 0 /sys/class/leds/keyboard-backlight/brightness

and make sure add these two lines before the restore script

chown 1000 /sys/class/leds/keyboard-backlight/brightness
chgrp 1001 /sys/class/leds/keyboard-backlight/brightness

These two codes may prevent changing the led setting back to "rw" from some other apk with root access

Nice app btw.
[LG Optimus 3D] crime_of_heart:
+1 for that
[LG Optimus 3D] walterddr:
I knew a way to do that but it won't be as easy as this one.

And for dimming the max backlight might require some mod in the boot.img which i am not familiar.

I will see what I can do

After all, this app only works with some devices on some ROMs. There's an app in the market that can do the job. If your devices made no response to those apps, you can try this method. (which is fairly unconventional)
[LG Optimus 3D] 314:
would it be possible to make this script run at boot? (Such as init.d scripts), i've tried directly adding it to init.rc but it doesn't seem to work (System rewrites it the on boot, even without write permissions).

(Not with a script app such as Rom Toolbox/Script manager)
[LG Optimus 3D] IFLPI:
Here's the app that keeps the led lights on.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1216824
[LG Optimus 3D] walterddr:
The app seems not working on my o3d.

BTW if you only want to keep the leds on while screen on and dim it, a modification from kernel or a background services might be needed.

I invent this method basically try to get rid of the services
[LG Optimus 3D] walterddr:
It might be possible, but I don't know how to do it.. :-( ~~

at least not using "init.rc"

Thank you this app works for my htc chacha running superOSR rom based on CM 7 but only in turning off and can't turn it on again

[LG Optimus 3D] joaosousa:
Problem

Ok, i have tried the solution here, but my brightness file is here:

\sys\class\backlight\keypad-led\brightness

When i set it to 0, the lights turn off, and after that i change the file permissons to 444 with chmod.

But when i turn off screen and turn on again (stand by mode) the keypad lights turn on again, and when i go to edit the brightness file again, it shows the value 255.

Any sollutions??

Hi,

I'm using cm7 (last nightly) with JVT modem and I'm having problems with the GPS. The gps simply cannot "get a fix" 90% of the times and when rarely gets the fix it is is lost after a minute is lost and cannot fix anymore until the gps is turned off and turned on again.

How am I testing?

* I'm using GPS Test (but I used Gmaps and also a lot of similar gps testing tools with the same result)

* Also I'm testing outside with a perfect view of the sky, no trees or buildings close.

* I'm in SW Europe. I tried this in different places far away from each other.

* Other GPSs get fix in seconds in the same conditions.

The typical results (based on GPS test output):

* 1st minute: no satellites found

* 2-5 minutes: up to 4 satellites found with a 25% signal strength

* About the 5th minute the gps fixes with 5 satellites

* The 6th minute it starts to lose signal and some times satellites

* After the minute seven the fix is lost and still gets 5-6 satellites but all with low singal strength (5%-15%)

What I tried so far?

* I read the forums, this one and many other ones.

* Different nightlies of cm7 also the last stable.

* Different modems

* All the gps tweaks and optimizations I could find in this forums.

* Some gps helping apps like Faster Fix, GPS Aids

* That angrygps thing

* A lot of clean installs

* A lot of combinations of the previous things after clean installs

Maybe I am facing a hardware problem? Any idea?

Thanks very much in advance :)

It adds a very simple feature I was missing: waking the phone by pressing the volume keys, just like the power button sometimes hard to catch.

It's a feature available on MIUI but not in stock Froyo roms. As far as I know, there is no simple way to enable this.

It's very light: no widget, no screen, no configuration, no service, no process running. So it won't appear in drawer or widget menu.

Just install it and it's active. No root required. Can be slow to react right after a reboot, but ok after.

It's my first application and it has been tested only on my 2.2.2 defy, so do not hesitate to write about any problem: not working, conflict with another application, etc... You can also tell if it's working of course :).

It should work on other devices, but never tried.
