[HTC Rezound] THE-COPS:
Thanks for all the replies. I totally forgot about Sense. But I'm not complaining, it runs smooth and fast always. The bloatware is more of an annoyance than anything. I dont use 3/4th of the crap they threw in there. As for root, I'm waiting for the perm root. I like to reboot every now and then as it clears out some garbage memory that sometimes causes problems....like cached js in the browsers. You can clear cache in settings, but I bet it dont clear whats in RAM.

I know it has its own graphics processor, but does anyone know if it shares the RAM or has its own dedicated memory chipset?
[HTC Rezound] THE-COPS:
How the hell u get so much free RAM? You must NOT be running a VZW Rom.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
S-ON Rezound just like the rest of you guys. Debloat and Desense, I have 400-500 MB of RAM on boot, with my normal usage 200-300 ish and I do have quite a few things open at the same time. As you can see w/ the SS' plain ol VZW ROM.
[HTC Rezound] brisdaddy1207:
Same here I never have less then 332 and after killing via htc task manger I have 440.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
sense barely approaches 60mb for me. Its all in what you use. Adw uses about 45, android pro widgets for my calender and contacts uses 15mb, hd widgets uses 15mb...

I have no problems with a stripped version of sense where you freeze or uninstall the parts you don't use.

I only use adw because of the choice in customizations, not because it runs faster. It doesn't for me. Scrolling wallpaper is jerky.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
Anyone can get close to 500mb of memory with a task killer check back 30 minutes later and it will be closer to 200...
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Pretty much. I don't bother with task killing ad there is no point behind it. Even with all the apps I run, I never have issues with ram usage.
[HTC Rezound] dpiddy14:
No task killer here. I always have at least 320mb free. It is what you have installed and are using all the time that is the main reason for low memory.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
Of course. I have stopped using some apps because they are always running or cached even if I haven't opened them in a week...
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
lol umm... yeah this is normal for me.

I've got 45 apps installed. i never ever ever have anywhere near 300 free, or hell, even 200. how the hell do you people have so much free memory? anyway as we all know, free memory on android is wasted memory so i'm ok with that :-)
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Not wasted necessarily, it is stated that any free memory is used to help boost performance a bit.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
well, you do have almost 70mb consumed by facebook...
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
yeah, both facebook apps are used since htc has their own version. things is, my phone isn't slow at all. higher numbers on memory mean nothing guys, android runs better when the memory is used up than it would with 500 megs free not filled with cached apps.
[HTC Rezound] THE-COPS:
Facebook sure gobbles up a lot. All that dam script running must be... Or caching photos. The built in fb app sucks. I always use the mobile or full version on the built in browser. Works fine for me.

If anyone knows if the GPU has its memory set, I'd be interested to know. Thanks

Jayochs... What app are you running in that screen shot?
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
thats system panel free... good app!
[HTC Rezound] AndroidGraphix:
Just for fun, I thought I'd desense for a change. I'm now getting around 380 mb of free ram. That's insane! Before that I was only averaging around 200 mb free.

Sent from my temporary rooted Rezound
[HTC Rezound] rezound:
Raider,

did you lose any functionality that you didn't expect to lose by desensing?

(other than screen shots)
[HTC Rezound] THE-COPS:
I just installed System Panel Lite. Thanks for bringing that up. Just what I was looking for. Works very well..lots of nice options. As a matter of fact, I learned it's not a good idea to kill off apps just to free up memory. Its not like Windows Mobile or even your PC where you have to kill processes just to get some memory. WM was especially notorious for running slow due to lack of memory ..... So I was always killing off stuff in DotFreds Task Manager. Anyway... Android manages memory much better than I thought. Coming from WM, I'm still learning so sorry if it seems I should already KNOW this. I used to tweak the crap out of those WM devices...so I'm not shy about that. Android is a WAY BETTER platform I might add. So much goodies in the market... And WAY BETTER than Crapple...lol
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
exactly, man! i'm glad ya figured it out :D some people are still stubborn in their Advanced Task Killer ways from the EARLY days of android when task killing was a little more neccessary because of how low the RAM on the old phones were (coughERIScough) lol...but yeah, basically, you never need to touch any apps ever. i NEVER task kill anything; i just use system panel to check out whats going on, and, if an app ever misbehaves, ill shut it down from there. i never ever kill tasks and i still get like 14-17 hour days outta my rez!
[HTC Rezound] THE-COPS:
Low RAM... cough cough AHEM..Eris... cough.. my sis still has the Eris and that phone is misbehaving worse than the neighbors kid you babysat yesterday. Maybe its just 2.0... All I know is the days of super low memory and crappy performance are over with me. I finally got a device that seems to live up to its name. Should be nicknamed iphone killer. Speaking of... I handled an iphone 4s a couple days ago and I was NOT impressed. I think this phone has already spoiled me. Hehehe. Thanks for all thr help everyone. I appreciate it. XDA never fails ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mozes316:
Usually when I root my phone, I download Absolute System and use it to change the font, it seems that it won't change the font on my rooted CDMA Galaxy Nexus... Anyone have an idea? :confused:

P.S. The only font I've seen affected by Absolute System on my Nexus is the Facebook app font for whatever reason. :eek:

No ROMs

ROM Toolbox will let you change the fonts and many many things besides. I have tested this on SGN running 4.02

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] calavera-pw:
Thanks ROM toolbox is one of the best apps I've ever seen!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] End0fLine:
I used rom toolbox to change my font and it works just fine, but it doesn't change the bold text. I then went into preferences and checked for it to replace Roboto-bold.tff and when I reboot, it gets stuck on the boot animation. Anyone else experiencing this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] naturalstamina:
I would also like to get more info on getting font packs to work completley with ICS as the fonts in rom toolbox do not support bold or italic
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pb1379:
You can easily change fonts... just replace the FOUR Roboto font variants in /system/fonts with yours... set permissions to rw-r--r--.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pb1379:
Font packs before ICS won't work well, I think. They only had normal and bold, while ICS also has italic and bold italic.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] minipaolo:
is there any updated font pack around?

I don't think I can do it manually..! :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] israshanty:
YES!

I tried twice, once with Font Installer app, got stuck. Then, I tried manually by just replacing the files with Root Explorer, got stuck again on boot animation.

Did you manage to work this out?

Never mind. Found a solution, metadata is the issue here.

[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
Could just be you accidently pressing something or a kombination to take screenshots.
[General Questions and Answers] MaffyRain:
each Android application must obtain explicit permission to use certain controls on system / hardware... During installation, you are deciding whether to allow them or not. if you root your phone does not change anything in your system.. unless you are now recognized as superuser (SU) so unless you have not installed together with the root also an unknown app (visible between the app installed) I do not think there is one in spyrware your system. for safetyinstall an antivirus and do a scan.;)

tbh i think most antivirus apps for android are there to comfort the user, making him feel safe...

i doubt they would catch something in a real world scenario..
[General Questions and Answers] Cyanide99:
Every single time I see the anti-virus thing come up, I think to myself "Does it actually do anything"

I've never seen it catch anything, I'm sure there must be virus' out there for Android.. But is the anti virus really capable of dealing with it?

But anyway, if you can't find anywhere the pictures are being saved too, its probably not. But if it is..

If you're anything like me, your phones either in your pocket, or face up on the desk. The pictures it takes wouldn't be particularly interesting.
[General Questions and Answers] MaffyRain:
Actually Android viruses are few and many times they are in part of apps downloaded out of the Android Market.

antivirus programs are useful but do not have much to do for now ... they are only installed for greater safety, in the end if your phone is rooted you can always install a new rom or do well wipe the virus is eliminated.

excuse my rough English :p
[General Questions and Answers] 0mega007:
lol that would be weird
[General Questions and Answers] mistermentality:
Easy way is install gemini app manager. It can show you all apps that use specific features such as camera sms and so on.

If you see an app uses the camera that shouldn't need to then it may be a malware app though its more likely your pressing a preset key combination or button that activates the camera or takes a screenshot and just makes the sound when doing so.

The antivirus I had didn't scan (or at least let me know it had) til I installed the app. Seems pretty pointless to me.

Same thing too

I am also having the same problem. My phone came with the stupid OTA Sprint release and has the most recent updates. I don't think that is the problem, but I have been trying the same thing you have and getting the same results.

As soon as you use command "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin" your phone is supposed to go to the bootloader unlock screen from HTC.....nothing....just sits there all stupid and SH**

fix?

I have the same problem and I have tried it in OS X and windows has any one found a solution
[General Questions and Answers] tamara7777@yahoo.com:
after many hours of searching, i found the answer...

ok what you do is download this RUU and follow instructions VERY CAREFULLY, i think it rolls back your firmware, then you start HTCs bootloader unlock tool from the beginning and it your phone should ask you at the end if you really want to unlock your bootloader. tell it yes and your all good ...until you try to root the phone. then, at least for me, youll have more of the same problems you ran into with unlocking bootloader. i mean you follow instructions word for word but in the end, nothing happens. i should have had root because i have superuser installed with updated binary and busybox is also installed as well, but i was only able to install synergy rom, which gave me a wifi error. ive searched for how youre supposed to fix this, and it says im supposed to use flash image gui program. so i bought it from the market and installed it. i opened it, it asked me for superuser permission, i granted, then it tells me it was "unable to gain root access this program will not work". I HATE THIS PHONE MORE AND MORE EVERYDAY, i miss my awesome evo4g that was rooted, s-off, free hotspot and CM7!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kid 2:
I am not entirely sure if my efs folder is corrupted or not. About two weeks ago, I was fiddling with Hc-Ktool, and dualbooting, when my sim card stopped being detected. Flightmode seems to be off (in the power menu), even though it's icon is displayed at the notif bar. Once it's clicked, flight mode turns 'on' and grays out the option.

Here is what I have already tried:

* Checked SIM in another phone. Works perfectly

* Soft reset No change.

* Wiped the current ROM. A circle with the diagonal appears (stop sign)

* Nandroid Restored stock No change.

* Flashed CM7. No change.

* Flashed a range of modems (through CWM aswell as Odin) No dice.

* Checked the IMEI The IMEI field is completely blank.

Now, I am pretty sure the problem is with my efs. I have just copied the /efs folder and can upload it (if it won't contain personal data, then please do say so). Having someone who knows what they are doing helping me would be awesome.

Oh, and no- I didn't have any efs backups previously. I only learned what /efs is, after this problem arose. I have plenty of Nandroid backups though.

Hello all,

I am using the ROM Speed Blur and I have a question about Contacts.

I installed GO Contacts EX on my phone and I would like to record all my contacts under GMAIL.

However this is not by default, each time I want to create a new contact it asks me if I want to record it under my GMAIL account or on the phone.

The biggest problem is when someone send me a contact via SMS or Whatsapp, if I record it, it is saved automatically under my phone without even asking.

Anyone as an idea on how to record contacts on GMAIL by default ?

Thanks a lot

I don't know if you have extended battery or not but if you do, you can use Diztroinic Matte TPU extended battery case with Seidio holster. It works great. Diztronic case also works with OEM verizon holster but the holster SUCKS. It always falls out. You can get them on Amazon or eBay for appox $12. Good quality for the price.
