Please press thanks :D
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] kecikhebat:
use lower frequency..no need to use 782mhz all the time..if u still want to oc to 782mhz,then u must accept the fact that ur processor is working harder and need more power to compensate..its common sense right..btw,652mhz is enough for me.no lag at all..even when playing hd games nfs,gta..just change governor when playing those games..imho..

How do I apply that file. I know it had to be applied to the server app but how? Thanks.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mehras1991:
in the zip file when you download there are 3 files, one is readme file which tell you how to copy the other 2files

(here's the fille attached if you don't already have it)

put droidmote.kcm in /system/usr/keychars - If you have not already copied earlier.

put droidmote.kl in /system/usr/keylayout - for mapping the new game configuration.

for me after copying I thought it's not working but after few time force closing the app & reopening it, it worked. sometime also for the first time that I press the gamepad buttons it activates with a 2sec delay.

but other than that, I love it, it works perfect
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android300ZX:
Thanks. That was sort of a dumb question being that I didn't even download the file. I should have known there would be a readme in there.

The app is cool but it needs UI enhancements and the ability to move buttons around the screen. I wouldn't mind the exact layout as the in game controls on my phone.

I will try this tonight and see how it goes. Does this fix the inverted look?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mehras1991:
yea it will fix, but for me with some random bugs it happened & I had to reload the game

[General Questions and Answers] jordanishere:
Does live wallpaper contribute to battery drain more so than regular wallpaper?

I am guessing it might as it probably requires more system resources to run.
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
Yes.

A normal picture will conserve most battery.

On an AMOLED screen a dark (best black) picture will conserve even more.
[General Questions and Answers] plainjane:
It really depends on the live wallpaper. I notice no extra battery drain with MultiPicture LWP, but it only shows images. While it does run in the background and updates every 4 hours or when I double tap the screen, it isn't constantly moving or interactive with sensors.

Something that is constantly moving (especially at a high frame rate) or uses the accelerometer will use more battery life.

If there is battery drain with MultiPicture LWP, it's so minimal that I don't notice a difference.

[General Questions and Answers] Dirk:
How long do you sit staring at your Homescreen? Most of the time it's as long as it takes to launch the app that you want to use, isn't it? Which shouldn't be long at all.
[General Questions and Answers] bluntman420:
on cm7 nexus live wallpaper i notice no additional battery drain at all. Setting screen timeout to under 1min helps alot too
[General Questions and Answers] knowsnophones:
What about those stock live wallpapers from Samsung like the Galaxy live wallpaper or Northern Lights wallpaper, do they consume so much more than normal wallpapers?

Like how much more?

If normal wallpaper with normal use of the phone drains the battery in 24 hours, will one with stock Live wallpapers like the two I mentioned, make it 23 hours?

Or is it so drastic that it will make it 20 hours?

Hours are only for reference.

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
Just try it out, go airplane mode, screen always on, both types of wallpapers for say 2-3 hours compare battery drain.
[General Questions and Answers] Nymblz:
This is exactly the point I wanted to inquire about.

Question: how exactly does the process of live wallpaper work on Android in terms of cpu and memory, thus battery drain?- not being a developer, I really don't know the particulars.

In other words, if the home screen isn't actually being displayed (say, the phone is "asleep", or you have an app open, like the browser, the dialer, or Angry birds) does the LWP process still run full bore in the background, calculating it's fractals or whatever? Or is it suspended whenever the home screen isn't displayed?

For that matter, even if it does remain running in the background, which of these is likely to consume more battery: the algorithm/calculation processes, or the actual manipulation of the pixels on the display? (I realize that may depend somewhat on the nature of the wallpaper too).

Because like Dirk said up above, I really don't think anyone spends that much time on their phone with the home screen just sitting there, (you're either using it or you're not) so if it's the latter case -if manipulating pixels eats the most juice- then for the most part, LWP shouldn't have much impact on battery drain. If the former, then static wallpapers are certainly better, but I still don't see a need for a plain black background. Unless you have an insane screen timeout set, like 10 minutes.

Anyone? Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] lcaveyl:
Its actually very subjective due to phone, apps installed and running, as well as the live wall paper you are using during that time..

For myself i do use some of the live wallpapers from the phone itself and for some better programmed ones, it may take up 2 - 3% of battery when running for about 5 hrs. Badly designed ones or those which come with ads do take up lots more, remember one i downloaded took up to 15% battery for the same time frame.

If you are particular for battery life.. i would suggest to use those darker themed wall papers as it does make some difference overall.. at least to me :)
[General Questions and Answers] Nymblz:
Yeah, my battery life has been abysmal, I just inherited this phone (SCH-i500) from a family member; but after a little conditioning, it does seem to be improving somewhat.

Anyway, then can I assume you're saying that some live wallpapers hit on the battery even when they're not being displayed?
[General Questions and Answers] Hevlaska:
personally, i don't find using LWP affects my battery in any significant manner... given that i use LWP that display simple looping animations. Some LWP make use of your accelero/gyro sensors and some consume some extra resources due to touch interaction. I personally think these are the LWP to avoid though they appears to be a great eye candy.

Then again, each time i wake my phone, i would only stay approx 1-3 seconds on home screen before running an app or performing another task rendering my LWP useless.

In my understanding, just because an app(including LWP) is in your memory(ram) or in the "running" list in app manager, does not mean its using up your battery. Its the process that requires CPU that consumes power. And once you're away from homescreen, they LWP rendering stops almost(if not) immediately thus does not consume your battery that much. I also believe that bright coloured or high contrast(white focus) LWP(or even regular wallpaper) will use up more battery given that most of our battery issues comes from big displays.
[General Questions and Answers] Nymblz:
Thanks hevlaska, this is the information I was looking for. Seems to me then that a relatively non-interactive LWP shouldn't be a drain on the battery.
[General Questions and Answers] mikpel:
This really depends of the developer. The most important method of a wallpaper is

onVisibilityChanged()

That method is called whenever the wallpaper is hidden behind other application or comes back visible. When going unvisible all the processes of WP should be terminated but this is allway not the case if the WP is designed badly.

So, even if you hide your wallpaper it may still have some cpu heavy process running if the developer has decided to do so.
[General Questions and Answers] el_haser:
a static image its a better solution for more battery
[General Questions and Answers] Nymblz:
Okay, so this was the information I was really looking for.. :cool: Thank you!

Now if it were just easy to look at the source code of the files inside a LPW apk to see how that's been set.. I've seen threads here on that but apparently dex files are a PITA, and besides that there's the whole reverse-engineering stigma.. not that I'd want to do that even if I could.. which I can't. (I have no head for programming, I've tried)

That said, I've found this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=14049173

I guess if I get really, really curious.. for what it's worth, I could try it. I'm a fan of Magic Smoke and Plasma, I'd use those if the onVisibilityChanged() is set in them.

hi,

i use a static pic as background and an non stock battery to.

[Motorola Droid 3] newshook:
I know there are 512MB RAM in Droid 3, in addition to 16G internal storage. However, I don't know what go to the RAM. Are the bloatware going to take part of it, or they are simply stored in the 16G internal storage? What about the OS?

Hope I can get some insights on this. Thanks.
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
i dont understand. your post sounds as if you think programs are installed on the RAM. they arent. RAM is random access memory, programs arent stored on here, they use RAM to run commands. The 16gb is what your programs will be installed to
[Motorola Droid 3] spunker88:
Not all 512MB will show as total memory its around 370-380 I think that is because the graphics use some of the RAM. Some bloatware will preload into the RAM as well as some of your apps. But when RAM is needed for the program you are currently running lower priority apps preloaded will close. So even if you see bloatware running in the background it cannot take away RAM when you need it.

The 16GB is flash memory for installing programs, etc. Android is not like older versions of Windows Mobile where apps were installed directly to the RAM so the 16GB of memory and the 512MB of RAM are for two totally different tasks.
[Motorola Droid 3] newshook:
Thank you.

After I posted the question, I did some research on google. Basically your replies are pretty in line with what other say. The 512MB RAM is used when running program, and OS too. Motorola says there is a 1.5 secured storage space in the phone. I guess that is where the app are stored physically. When being run, the app will be loaded into RAM.

Yes, the sum of used RAM and free is less than 512MB. I guess the difference goes to the OS and graphics. That's what I learn after posting the question. If there is anything you think might help understand these terms, please share.

Thanks for all the feedbacks.
[Motorola Droid 3] Willis111:
The ram is memory, the internal storage (both the 16gig and the secured partition/the 1.5 gig) are hard drives

Ok, I have run this install method 2x today http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1000957&highlight=verygreen+sd+bootable *VeryGreen*

Now, I am not new to rooting but haven't been keeping up with my nook as I passed it on. Went from CM7 stable to MIUI couldnt' stand the market issues and didn't want ot deal with removing the up dater..blah blah blah ok enough of that :p

I have followed the instructions and was have booted CM fine but each time I look at my SD card I only have the one partition. Should I be partitioning it myself before doing the steps metitioned or should the install make the partions for me then I just write the FAT or FAT32 (<---top of my head) myself post install.

I wanted a dual boot but figured I would wait for CM9 to come out and wanted to test the SD install. Also, the system seems laggy and I would attribute that to the card i'm using but was also wondering if maybe it was from the partitions? I believe the card is only showing 120 mb used and 14 unused.

Thanks, for any help I have been working on this for 3 days different scenerios and used searches but I get so many dated threads.

First thing that I STILL can't get over after a weeks time is the screen! it wows me every time I turn it on!

I have gotten the phone to lag at some points but that's when I'm pushing it pretty hard. That's not too bad because once I load an over clocked kernel on it the lag should be gone for good.

overall the phone is simply amazing! I think I'll still be very happy with my purchase even after all the big 2012 models are announced in the next couple of months.

can't go wrong with a nexus!

I love Shadowgun, great and fun game, loads of different weapons, items and perks. Also well balanced, no overpowered guns or pay to win. Gold is hard to get without real money but you can fully enjoy the game without it. You can buy boosters with gold but hardly anyone uses them. The game is a lot more skill based than most other mobile f2p shooters. Also has really good graphics and good connectivity, and there are no stupid wait timers or energy systems. One of the best free shooter games on mobile.
