[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dude1001:
Hi there.

I'm looking for a widget task manager (not a task killer, just something that gives me quick access to running tasks), preferably something that shows me running tasks in the widget itself (as oppose to a widget that opens a menu of tasks when pressed).

I use to use the go launcher task manager, that suited my needs perfectly, but as far as I understand it, it's only available with the launcher.

The Active Apps / Task Manager looks good, but only shows the apps themselves in a menu, and not on the "desktop".

So, any recommendations?

Hey,

So some of you might seen in other post of mine that I am having an issue with one of my kindles wallpaper resolution size.

I personalized the wallpapers on two kindle one worked fine. The other one does work, and displays the correct images. However they are oversized. I have tried coping other framework-res apks and starting from scratch. Nothing works though, and any wallpaper I try to install just becomes distorted.

Any help or thoughts you may have on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Guys we did it!!!!!!!

VZW got our petition and my letter, as a result they allowed HTCdev.com to work to unlock our phones!

go to www.htcdev.com and follow the instructions.

good job to all who signed the petition, what an awesome victory!

here is the letter I sent:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20764858&postcount=107

Thank you to everyone who participated :)

Please read sign, and share the following petition.

http://www.groubal.com/verizon-wireless-allow-unlocking-of-htc-boot-loaders-on-your-network/

With enough signatures, this can work. This is the same method that was used with HTC and resulted in the acknowledgement by the CEO, and the promise of unlocked boot loaders for all phones from now on.

Verizon is trying to protect us from ourselves, they claim that allowing the phones to be unlocked would "hurt" us, as we would not be able to get "excellent customer service" should we ever need troubleshooting advice from them.

We all know that we understand the risk associated custom software and roms, as well as unlocking and changing critical software. We can choose to participate, or choose to leave our phones as Verizon shipped them.

We want the ability to CHOOSE what we do with our phones, not to have VZW protect us from ourselves. Giving us the option to unlock is not the same as shipping the phones in an unlocked state... We simply want the option.
[HTC Rezound] xceebeex:
Basically what Verizon is saying is that since it is so easy to root and un-root with virtually no trace they don't want this to be easy because they have replaced thousands of phones already that were "bricked" by the users.

I wouldn't mind a minor lockdown making it somewhat difficult to modify the phone, but this type of lockdown is a little out of hand.
[HTC Rezound] Serinety:
the current lock down in place can stay in place. We just want them to allow HTC to unlock our phones should we choose to use their unlock tool, created and supported by HTC, for HTC phones.

nothing has to change except that.

Ah, I didn't realize there was an HTC tool to do that. I am new to HTC phones, my previous two phones were Samsungs (Fascinate and Charge) and they were both ridiculously easy to unlock.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlop:
Howdy,

What is the consensus on the re-sale value (USD) of a dell streak 5 considering:

Its in perfect physical and working condition.

It is unlocked.

Including original accesories, box, and commuter case.

Coming from a non-smoking household ( :rolleyes: )

I searched craigslist and amazon; and it looks like average price is $495+. On other site I even see it for 700+ Considering I will be using all the proceeds for a Note (most likely intl v. given all the state side let down) should I be solid on 495+ until I find a buyer or accept lower offers like 390ish.

Its obv up to me but the resale value of the streak if prob going to plunge once the commoners catch on to the upcoming Note. That aside I really love the Streak, its actually difficult to sell it. And they love makes you stupid.

TIA for weighing in.

BTW I paid less than 300 for the device. That matters.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManii:
Depends entirely on how urgently you wish to sell it, longer you can wait the more you'll get (true for everything)

A very good condition + accessories one should sell for ~$200-300 on ebay.

I wouldnt expect more then $325 but as it's ebay you never know. A realistic expectation is around $225-275 range.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 01bernie:
Yes, what TheManii said....... I just bought one for $215 and a friend bought one for $189. I was prepared to bid up to $270, ditto my friend.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scott Arten:
I just bought one eBay UK as new for £180. It came today. Unfortunately the seller didn't include the data cable so of I went to the local store to buy a 30 pin iPhone cable......which doesn't work. There are specific cables for the streaks.

The Tesco outlet on eBay has them for £180 refurbed. Delivered with a 1 year warranty -h**p://goo.gl/WZB1E

Original Post Gone. Formatted and tweaked original instructions. Original post by Croak can be found quoted at the bottom of page 8. Please read entire post before asking any questions. All credit goes to Da_G.

This is

ONLY

for the SGH-i957 and SGH-i957M (Bell).

WARNING: THIS WILL TRIP YOUR FLASH COUNTER [aka VOID WARRANTY]

NEXT WARNING: USE OF ODIN CAN DAMAGE YOUR DEVICE IF USED INCORRECTLY. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE DUE TO FOLLOWING THESE INSTRUCTIONS. PROCEED WITH CAUTION.

Steps:

1. Download and Install the Samsung Drivers for your device. Install Kies, or the latest mobile drivers.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=961956

2. Download Da_G's overclock kernel.

http://www.ponack.net/TPC/dagnarf/sgh-i957-oc-kernel-dag-1944mhz.tar

3. Download Odin 1.85

http://www.multiupload.com/0EMX1J7RZJ

3. Open Odin 1.85 as administrator

4. Place the OC kernel .tar file in the PDA slot. (Make sure you do not have any boxes in the options panel checked besides the ones that were checked when opening the program - should only be auto reboot and f.reset time)

5. Place the tablet in download mode. Hold vol up + vol down and hold power until the device powers on into download mode. Hit volume up to proceed after the warning screen

6. Plug the tablet into the computer on a main usb slot and it will be detected by Odin in one of the ID:COM slots (will appear as yellow)

7. Hit Start - the OC kernel should will be flashed to the tablet. Tablet will restart.

8. Go into market and download NoFrills

9. Set Max. Clock Freq. to 1.728, 1.782, 1.836, 1.89, or 1.944 GHz. Set your min clock speed to 192 MHz if desired. If you run into problems, set your I/O scheduler to noop instead of cfq. DO NOT CLICK 'APPLY ON BOOT' UNLESS YOU HAVE THOUROUGHLY TESTED THE STABILITY OF THE DEVICE AT THE SET GHz!!!

If you are unhappy for any reason and wish to go back to stock kernel - you can flash the stock kernel back using steps 3-7 above with the below file.

http://ponack.net/TPC/dagnarf/stock-kernel-odin-image-for-sgh-i957.tar

If you are still experiencing instability at any speed above 1.566 GHz, there are certain .so files (libhardware_legacy.so, librpc.so, and libtalk_jni.so) which limit speeds and can override the OC sometimes. Da_G modified these files which can be pushed to the device through adb commands. I won't explain how to get ADB working, it can be found on XDA elsewhere.

Link to .so files

ADB Commands

(do the following once for each file in the .zip):

After flashing the kernel 4G would not work, so I turned on wifi and had a device reset.

Next reboot, wifi was on, i turned it off to enable 4g and device reset.

third reboot everything acted fine.

quandrant crashes right after score readout.

@ 1836 - setcpu crashed when setting an OC voltage. reboot. cpu spy caused device reset after OC. reboot.

@1784 - device crash during quadrant

@1728 - device crash during quadrant

@1836 - linpack crash.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] Blackberrynomore:
Croak/Da_G,

So tonight I was messing around with the OC settings using Antutu and all lower freqs. seemed to work fine so I pushed the envelope to 1944 mhz. and my Tab most certainly did not like that setting. It now will boot into the Home screen but immediately freezes and reboots. I can't even turn it off as it freezes when I try to power off. So if I reflash D's kernel will that wipe the CPU Master settings or do I have to go as far as Odin the stock rom we got last week??? Obviously we need to stay below the 1944 setting......hehehehe!

P.S. I also added D's lib files. I renamed the Legacy file as .bak and left it in the folder so i can restore that one I suppose if need be.

Edit: I fixed it by flashing the stock kernel again. Gonna try the OC again tomorrow as it did seem to be snappier with that running. Just have to stay away from over-OCing the darn thing. Had to try just out of curiosity now i know.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] Croak:
Going down the memory hole.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
I guess you definitely have to push those lib files for this to work
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] Blackberrynomore:
When you use ADB to push the files where do you put the files that you want to push to the device? Do I have to change to that directory or do I have to copy the files to the directory where ADB is loaded from? I tried using ADB to push them but couldn't get it to go? So I ended up using Droid Explorer to copy them to the device then I set permissions using Root Explorer.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] Croak:
Whooooooosh.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
There is a graphical program called qtadb which may work well
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] modestone:
I am a little confused here.

So after following the root method, which flashes the Da_G root kernel, can the device be manually overclocked with setcpu type apps?

Is the OC kernel just to make it active at boot time?

Or is the OC firmware required to do any kind of OCing period?

You mention your "daily use" is the 1.8 ish, so is there an OC kernel at that speed available?

Hopefully this makes some kind of sense...
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
When you root the first time you have a modified kernel. You can't overclock. Flash the oc kernel in order to do that.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] modestone:
So the "1944MHZ" in the kernel name is just the maximum speed the kernel will allow correct?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
Yes just use setcpu do customize the speed
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] modestone:
Right on, so whats the consensus on pushing those files over in ADB, pretty much required for this to really work?

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] Da_G:
Note: overclock kernel also includes the root script, so you can just flash that instead of both. The overclock should work without the modded libs, however there are various functions in the libs I patched out that override clock speed at certain times (such as when the input panel is open) - these are hardcoded to use lower speeds so hinder the actual overclock.

Also, thermal throttling can be bypassed by simply renaming /system/bin/thermald - but obviously you need to be mindful of heat output.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
Did you ever adjust those l2 speeds?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] modestone:
So I went ahead and flashed over the kernel, but haven't pushed over the moded files yet though.

So after flashing, and and before using setcpu to set the new max speed, I noticed in cpuspy that the tab was spending a whole lot more time at the current max speed then with stock kernel, which hardly ever seemed to use the max speed.

Is this because the kernel is tweaked to have it use the higher clockspeed more often, so where as the stock one preferred the minimum speed?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] modestone:
regarding my above post, I believe it ws always in on demand governor mode.

Does this kernel support cifs?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] Da_G:
Hi modestone,

The lib files I modified override the ondemand governor and peg it to specific speeds, this is why I modified them, you'll find it behaving normally after you load them up.

Regarding CIFS, I don't remember, lets check the kernel config!

gabe@damothership ~/I957/i957kernel $ grep 'CIFS' .config
CONFIG_CIFS=y
# CONFIG_CIFS_STATS is not set
# CONFIG_CIFS_WEAK_PW_HASH is not set
# CONFIG_CIFS_XATTR is not set
# CONFIG_CIFS_DEBUG2 is not set
# CONFIG_CIFS_EXPERIMENTAL is not set

Looks like that's a yes :)

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] Croak:
A good chunk of that lag is just Honeycomb being Honeycomb. So yes, it still lags and runs choppy in places, but it lags less and is less choppy than at 1.5Ghz.

I have backups of the files so it isnt risky.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
Tried this again, this time pushing the files via adb.

Cannot overclock at all (at any speed above 1.5) without freezes and resets all over the place. Dont know what is going wrong.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] dmunjal:
I pushed the files and turned off SetCPU and deep sleep works fine. But when I turned Setcpu back on, the issue came back. I don't think there is anything wrong with the root, just Setcpu.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
is there another program that sets clock speeds similar to setcpu?

seems like the kernel works fine for croak and blackberry. i dont know why mine is different.

in adb when i push the files it gives me confirmation, but when i use the chmod command it doesnt give me any feedback in the cmd window. is that normal?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] Croak:
It should echo.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
alright. looks like a permissions problem then since my adb command for the chmod didnt echo. ill give that another shot.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
so i may not be the smartest. i typed adb shell first to get the # prompt and then i used the chmod commands and got the echo

things are much smoother now. cf bench works fine, but quadrant and antutu crash again. I am running at 1.728 ghz and everything seems fine except for GTAIII. nothing above 1.728 seems stable for my device, but overclocking is still iffy from device to device i think. still, very snappy and speedy. quite happy.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] Croak:
Huh? What?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] modestone:
I use one called No-frills CPU Control

It over clocks correctly, and deepsleeps fine.

I also have not yet pushed those files over, been running well.

So I applied the OC kernel and used No Frills to up the CPU to 1.728. I double-checked that it was properly set with cpuspy, but didn't push the lib files. The only problem I seem to have is Market instability. Market seems to crash and freeze @1.728 which I can't reproduce at stock speeds. Bummer.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] Croak:
Push the lib files, they help stability.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] quasitime:
I pushed the files with adb, now I'm testing.

Antutu ran once and then bombed out (tab reset) the second time.

Market instability still - seems to crash (exit to home) when I do a large search for apps and images are loading, @ 1.728. Just doesn't happen no matter how hard I try, at 1.566.
