[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slewman:
thanks.. so i flashed this via odin. same problem. i start the phone. the samsung logo comes up. it disappears for a second. then it comes back up and kicks me into recovery.

weird right? any suggestions
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xwhofarted:
ok then what is your endgame?

Now before you said you flashed just the CWM, may i ask why...if you did not intend to flash a rom? were you going to flash a Kernel or obtain root?

Perhaps you should try this

Download this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1278838

It is a custom kernel.

Now Flash CWM with odin

Put battery back in [dont touch power button yet]

Hold down BOTH volume and Power all at once * Dont let go until you see Samsung Logo.

[should still be plugged into pc via usb]

You will boot into CWM

using the volume up and down-Scroll down to Mounts and storage [select it by hitting the power button]

Then scroll to Mout USB storage

~now you should be able to see your SDCard as storage on your PC, put the Kernel some where on your SD Card~

[back on your phone Then Select Unmount

Scroll to ****Go bacK***** [select]

Scroll to install zip from sd card [select]

Select choose zip from sdcard

Navigate to where you have the zip

Select it

Scroll down to Yes-Flash........

Let the phone do its thing!

Good luck!

Your bootlooped...if you can get into cwm wipe all three and flash a rom thats compatible with the version of cwm you have installed. Or odin back to stock and start over...
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slewman:
yea i started to figure that was the case. if i flash the full odin package for EH03 via odin and that will start me at the beginning?

thanks again for everyones help.

Yes,

Keep in mind all data will be gone [except on your sd card like photos and what not]

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frankwatt:
Hello everyone,

when my Nook is turned on, displaying icons or text, when you look at the screen in "portrait" mode and you turn it to landscape and vice versa (more or less quickly), do you have an impression of "vibration" in the display ? Just like with old computer screens?

It is more visible when you don't directly look at the screen, but more when you look at an icon or text located at corners.

I can also see it when filming the Nook's screen with my phone, then the vibrations clearly appear on the video (without moving the Nook)

Is there a problem with the screen or is it due to the IPS technology ?

Is there something I can do to improve a bit the "stability" of the image ?

Hi all,

Just got my Atrix 2 yesterday and I'm loving it so far, especially once I changed the launcher. I've been a member on the Nook Color section for about 6 months and have been looking through the Atrix 2 threads to see if the A2 was worth getting, it was.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ph0o:
Hey guys,

sry for that questions.

Today i got a "new" Samsung Galaxy S from my brother, because he has now a iphone.

I never updated his phone and so he has the oldest official firmware on it. I think without lagfixes and other stuff.

I've got a ZTE Blade and i'm used to update ROMs with ClockworkMod, is there a similar application for SGS? Are there any AOSP ROMs (without Samsung GUI) for SGS? Do i have to install all lagfixes before i can update next (un)official roms?

Thanks in advance for your help.

best regards

Read the threads in the development section for custom/AOSP ROMs (be sure to update your SGS to the latest official stock kies version first before flashing the custom ones)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ph0o:
Hey guys, hey pikachu,..

I read the whole last two days, and tried to connect my SGS with the Win7 in a Virtualbox, but thats another story.

I installed kies, connected my phone with the pc, but then KIES wrote, that my phone could not be updated with KIES. I think because its branded.

So, i don't know what todo next? How can i apply a new firmware on my phone or what can i do, that i receive the next updates (e.g. ICS)?

is there a generic firmware for the beginning?

Thanks in advance! :)

best regards
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmayrhofer:
One way to do apply a new firmware is to flash your device manually via ODIN, the other thing you can do is to make a reg-hack so that KIES thinks your phone is just like a new, unbranded device.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ph0o:
Thanks! :) Yeah, i read about Odin, but there are so many different versions of odin, a huge amount of different firmwares and, i don't know which of them have a bootloader.. etc. :)

I try now to apply the registry-hack and if this works then its all ok, otherwise i have to work with odin.. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ph0o:
So,.. I'm done ;)

As i wrote before, i tried to update the firmware with the reg-hack-trick, but it didn't work. So i had to test the other way.. with odin :)

I followed this german instructions (not allowed to post links, but the instructions are on android-hilfe.de) and it worked very well.. (thank god!)

Now i'm looking for a good or perfect :P Gingerbread (AOSP).. or a way how i can disable the samsung gui :)

Thanks for your hints!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jdsuther:
Followed the guide here. If I have lost the ability for updates, to fix it would I just do "ReFlash Stock Recovery"? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] parousia15:
My understanding is, as long as your running stock software, you'll continue to receive updates, the recovery image is not important. Otherwise, without knowing what software you're running, and update could bork the phone.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sizzlechest:
It sounds like everyone would benefit from using this script, but there's no specific guidance for the MyTouch 4G. I assume option 8 or 9 would be best since the phone has 512MB of ram.

Are there some roms that we shouldn't be using V6 SuperCharger with?

Link to V6 SuperCharger: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=991276
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
You're wrong on 2 points (possibly more):

1) This script is just the same as Autokiller app, with a small addition - it can (or can't) keep launcher in memory. Nothing new and revolutionary. This app exists for a couple of years.

2) This phone has 768MB of RAM. It won't benefit from a low memory killer (or actually, different settings for an existing in OS lowmemkiller), because it has TONS of memory. I just took a look at my phone, ~100MB of memory free, and ~300MB of remaining memory is taken by CACHED apps. If you don't know what it means - please read up on Android memory management, and I'll give you the short version - it's the same as free memory, but better.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sizzlechest:
It states in the first post:

Also Note: Nothing else does what The V6 SuperCharger does!

................Not AutoKiller Memory Optimizer, Not Auto Memory Manager, Not Minfree Manager...

The Nook Color has 512 MB of ram and people have noticed a big difference using this script on Cyanogenmod.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saranhai:
but since the Glacier has 768MB of ram, you won't notice much change.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
I have found it useful on ports and ROMs that aren't tweaked specifically for this phone. For instance, if TDJ made the ROM, V6 is useless. In fact, it will only hurt.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linsalata28:
I use this script on my evo and its great so I just rooted this phone and flashed the mik runny ROM, I was using it for a day and only stayed at about 100mb of RAM so I decided to use v6 with option 8 and now it stays around 200mb and is running super smooth.

IDK if that helps any but I always loved v6 and know a few people that use it on a few different phones and it always works for the better.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Why do people that know nothing or close to nothing about OS internals, decide that they have better knowledge of memory management should be, then OS and phone designers? The same people who don't know the difference between cached and active apps, and the only number they understand is the (useless) amount of free memory? I see it all over the forums, and it amazes me each time. How do people actually try to judge if something works well or not, without getting at least some basic understanding of how the things work?

Oh well, here it comes again:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=678205

Read this. Maybe you will understand something.

Few, if any, 512MB phones and no 768MB phones need this script, or any kind of tweaking for lowmemkiller values, especially not since Gingerbread and when not running Sense (which retains the ability to cache apps, removed in Gingerbread mostly to ease running the OS on older devices). The only thing it does, is to make garbage collector work harder and kick in earlier. It doesn't make your phone "smoother", and whoever think it does - should check the meaning of the word "placebo" in the nearest dictionary. The number that stands for "free memory" means something between "close to nothing" and "absolutely nothing".

I know I shouldn't be surprised, people always tend to have strong opinions on everything, even things they sometimes don't know a thing about. But still, it's XDA-

Developers

, not XDA-Phone-users, so at least something should be done about it. Even if the education attempts will fail, like they mostly do.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linsalata28:
I do understand that in some cases you don't need a memory manager like if your running a stock ROM or an aosp ROM that doesn't take up as much memory.

Now I haven't had this phone long enough to say if this script is all that good for this phone but I know on the evo running a sense 3.0-3.5 ROM that wasn't meant for the phone and hugs up every little bit of memory that the phone has to offer, this scrip makes those ROMs usable.

Without it or something like it the phone can't handle doing simple tasks like using an app without fc something else like the launcher.

So you could say what you want and yes maybe this phone doesn't need it since it has more RAM and ROM but I'll still try things like this to try and see if it will better the phones performance.

Sorry if that doesn't make sense I'm still half asleep.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eqjunkie829:
The instances where i have noticed that this works is while doing benchmarking with quadrant. It has shown increased framerates for me after running the script and I also get higher scores on quadrant, about 500-1k more than without. I dont know if its usefull for much other than benchmarking though. I think the phone runs fine without it though.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTC Glacier:
What you have to understand is performance is not measured via syntactic benchmarks (ex: Quadrant). The biggest issue with people is that they don't know enough to know that they don't know, so they compare it with silly numbers (ex: score) they can't comprehend what they see, much less put numbers behind real life activities that's not applicable in controlled environment.

Now far as V6-SC script goes its almost obsolete now due to few things. 1) Hardware advancement where now minimum spec requirements for "SmartPhone" are 1ghz single core proc with 512mb ram. But so called "SuperPhone" now has dual core 1ghz-1.5ghz with 768mb-1gb ram. So it make no sense as we don't use 256-566mhz proc with 64-256mb ram because we are more then enough hardware adequate for heavy daily usage. 2) OS development which elements most of it as hardware is more and more powerful. But on software level mostly all custom base rom (ex: CyanogenMod) is highly optimized and tweaked to run on optimal performance.

Now is it all placebo effect? Mostly, but not all. But does it mean it can't be tweaked any further? (Rhetorical) No. How do I know? We (scope outside of XDA) tweaked it to the next level. How you ask?

1) Optimized ext4fs: reduced r/w rate (healthy NAND lifespan), improved journaling (corrupted data writeback integrity) = Which improves the IOPs and performance access rate.

2) HC3.x fugu binaries, patched sqlite libraries, mSD read ahead buffer fix.

3) Modified VM: OOM (Out Of Memory), LMK (Low Memory Killer), VM heap (Virtual Machine), DRA (Dirty Ratio), DBR (Dirty Background Ratio), DWC (Dirty Writeback Centisecs), DEC (Dirty Expired Centisecs), SWP (Swap), VCP (VFS Cache Pressure).

4) Increased minfree value: Background, Foreground, Empty, Hidden, Visible, Secondary, Content.

5) Optimized cache: File and Drop cache, Forced cache (resident loop).

6) Custom kernel: OC/UC, UV/SVS/VDD, BFS/CFS, RSU/VR/SP supported.

7) Custom ROM: Optimized Rom script and props (ex: CyanogenMod).

I bet my superior MT4G can own your inferior MT4G. Cuz you can't touch this as its tweaked to THE next level. I'll stick with AOSP2.3.7GB until ICS4.X is more stable and we understand more as most memory grouping and adjustments might be changed.

Here... you may learn something new...

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20163493&postcount=6695

Below a certain threshold of free ram (ie. not enough cached), the device WILL gag...

Hundreds if not thousands of users with 1 GB ram devices use it (Atrix, SGSII, etc.) and I know your phone stutters from time to time with a slight delay when pressing buttons from time to time since that's what my friend's Atrix does.

In fact, the biggest difference he notices is in the use of google maps... never a stutter.

So you're missing out.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTC Glacier:
First of all as dev of V6-SC you would be very defensive but at same times your not charging money to normal folks for it is a good thing, so thank you. Which I can say less about other folks editing same value claiming it new. Now I don't know about Jack but let's be clear on few points.

1) I did try your so called script and didn't like the whole script manger + busybox cast AFTER the OS startup. Which normally you can achieve via daemon or init.d script after kernel is initialized by declaring and using native shell. So no need for force apply afterwards as it was utilized before it was initiated via script manager. Also V6-SC couldn't keep the selected category minfree value which changed. But in short I didn't notice anything revolutionary as it was fully optimized long before I randomly landed on Android General section and saw your post claiming it maximize the devices performance. Which I was spectacle about as from your post you did seem to have basic knowledge hopefully not from wiki/google but *nix usr exp before landing on to Android.

2) Like I said I don't know about Jacky Boy but I can GRANTEE you I have NEVER had this so called "button delay" you specified. But I did modify the sampling rate and pressure density accommodated by tweaking transition speed. But now I run min:368mhz/max:1027mhz/gov:SmartAssV2. But even when I was battery conscience before I had MP1650mAh I ran on min:230mhz/max:768mhz/gov:SmartAssV1 with custom -75 to -100 VDD using ~14mA idle and ~60-90mA active per unit scale. I never had lag with 200mb used RAM running at least 18-20pcs and 14-15svc. So what your friend is running (Atrix) is irrelevant also isolated.

3) O-RLY am I really missing out? I think ill stick to my own. But don't take this post personal as it was ment for it to be argumentative. Difference is I actually know what I'm talking about as I have strong backgrounds on...

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
I didn't need to try it to know. I tried Autokiller, I played with lowmemkiller settings and watched the results, and I did it on Nexus One with 512MB of memory. It never needed anything since Gingerbread, and unless I made the settings super-aggressive, Autokiller actually failed to make any difference whatsoever - the apps were killed based on their age and never dropped by replacing apps.

In the current system, I have 100MB free + 250MB cached apps (which is just the same as free - theoretically and practically). The main difference you're not accounting for is - Android isn't a Linux distro, it's a Linux-derived OS, with many changes for mobile activity, especially on the kernel level, especially in the memory management area. "Linux memory consumption" isn't Android memory consumption, since they manage things differently. Linux isn't build to kill running apps, its lowmemkiller can't do it. Linux doesn't have concurrent garbage collector. Many Linux examples are irrelevant. Cached apps in Android aren't cached pages in Linux, freeing cached pages in Linux isn't killing cached apps in Android, and the most important - "performance degradation" doesn't exist in Android, since you ALWAYS have enough memory for any size of task (the largest loading task requires 50MB of memory, and there's 100MB free on my phone), and concurrent garbage collection is ALWAYS present in the system, the only thing you're doing - is calling it earlier, making it actually work more and getting the system more laggy than it could be.

I understand that you want to protect your creation, but in this case, you're wrong, sorry. You won't convince me.

And yes, I don't know what "button lag" are you talking about.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeppelinrox:
Sounds like you never got it working properly.

Also, if you have init.d support no need to run anything on boot with script manager.

Maybe the rom's kernel was applying settings late.

And no my friends atrix is not isolated there is a rather big thread in the atrix forums.

SGSII users see benefits too so seems there is always room for improvement.

I was tempted to stop reading when you admit to not even using it.

If it did the same as AKMO or Auto Memory Manager why on earth would anybody bother.

I sure as hell wouldn't bother writing a 4500+ line script lol.

I totally agree that Android memory is not the same as linux (see my sig) but the similarities are there and the article I posted applies 100%.

Its not about free ram.

Its about the right balance.

In fact, many report LESS free ram, ie. better multitasking, along with better performance and smoother performance.

Because I don't think Android memory should work the same as linux memory either.

Also, you tried AKMO because you felt there could be improvement and it didn't work.

THAT'S why I wrote a 4500+ line script that blows anything else out of the water ;)

I was just wondering how many of you have noticed some little imperfection in your screen? Not like a burned out pixel, but actually a little blemish from the manfacturing process. I have one little tiny area where it looks like maybe something is under the screen, like a spec of dust?

Has anyone else experienced this? Should I expect the screen to be perfectly flawless? I mean I know it should be, but can you pick out a little blemish?

Thanks,
