What does it say for ram on the player.... I have seen 377... and 345.

I have 345 and Im pretty pissed about it.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] klin1344:
I have 342mb of RAM available. But I heard that around 100+ mb are dedicated to the gpu on the galaxy s phone, and the galaxy player has the same hardware so should be the same. So I think it still has 512mb of ram, but just 342 is usable by Android.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] lardman:
Have a look at the output of dmesg (e.g. run the following in a terminal and copy the resultant file to your PC to view: dmesg > dmesg_output.txt) and it tells you how much memory you have and how much has been set aside. Note you will probably want to reboot before you do this as otherwise the interesting messages have scrolled out of the kernel message buffer.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] jlp2d:
I've been using an app called Fast Reboot Pro. It appears to simply close processes that are running in the background. It then shows you how much memory was was freed. I hit every so often and especially when things appear to lag. Seem to work pretty well.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] murph5525:
Gingerbread/Samsung has it's own task manager which in turn has it's own widget which does this. No need to install an app for this ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
I to use fast reboot, find it much more effective than what the player comes with. I also use ram manager pro witch is a very good tool to set different ram profiles, I like "balance (more free memory)" the best. I first select my profile, then I run fast reboot, very effective! The more you run fast reboot, the more memory it frees up, witch is great for big games like asphalt 6. Also, I use zeam launcher, very lightweight, perhaps the lightest, but still a great improvement over touchwiz. Another thing, NO LIVE WALLPAPERS is an absolute necessary! These things eat WAY more ram than they say on taskmanager. THEY CAN EAT 50+ MB OF RAM!! Also, services like widgetlockscreen and such will eat your ram. If you want to play a heavy game, go to running services and kill as many as you can, you can also clear cached apps by hitting the menu button in running services. Hope these tips help you to make the most of our small supply of ram! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
Hmm, after more testing, it would appear that wifi burns around 25mb of ram when on! So, if your really short on ram, just turn on airplane mode to kill all antennas. I just played modern combat 3 with 25mb free ram throughout the whole level :D I had 190mb free originally, that game sure eats the stuff :s The CPU rides at 1000mhz through the whole game, lol, could always use some more of that stuff! That's what oc is for ;)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pulitry:
Hello!

I am stuck on "Galaxy S" animation after flashing Jetpack.

What did I flash:

1. KA5 Stock via Odin

2. Cmenard Overstock kernel + disable Voodoo

3. Gingerbread bootloader

4. JetPack + fix permission

What am I doing wrong?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moped_Ryder:
Sounds about right. Just to make sure you Odin'd to KA5? Usually people Odin to JFD. This is due to the fact that if you Odin to JFD you have the partition button checked.

What ROM did you come from? Was it any VM7/9, Miui, or ICS? If so you need to Odin to JFD with partition checked.

I keep an update.zip (Root) on my sdcard that way I:

Odin to JFD

Shut down

Boot into recovery (Green recovery)

Apply update.zip

Apply update.zup ( a second time)

now you are in Red recovery

flash Jetpack.

[General Questions and Answers] Android311:
my tablet has an internal and external memory, on my external i have CWM and other files i need but everytime i boot it goes to CWM cause my tablet reads off the sd, so i bought a 2nd sd card, will it be safe to use it and just swap back to the old one if i need to update cyan? or will it confuse the device?
[General Questions and Answers] Jauk:
If your tablet boots off of your external SD card I don't think you can remove it without causing some kind of error.

I would recommend moving whatever it needs to boot to your internal memory so you can freely switch out SD cards for media or whatever purpose you'd like.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] goodoane:
:beer:This is very simple.:cool:

1) Get Root first in v.19

2) Go there and read what is about it: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=17117779

3) Download from market Voodo OTA RootKeeper.

4) Install Voodo OTA RootKeeper and run the application and make a backup of your root.

5) Go to settings/about tablet/system firmware update/check update

6) Follow regular update procedure

7) After reboot open Voodo OTA RootKeeper and restore root.

8) Be happy with the new updated tablet and with working root.

Thanks to supercurio for his tools and application.

This has been done on TF101 US v19 B80 series
[Eee Pad Transformer General] KingDavid63:
that is just pure craziness... whatever works though... but if you dont flash a custom rom there's always a chance u can lose root with asus's updates and such... pretty smart peeps if they wanna lock it down gonna be hard to get back in.. i dont flash **** unless it comes through a dev first just to be safe....

[Eee Pad Transformer General] bob dylan:
or just flash a rom that has been updated to the 21 base firmware.. like revolver.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gls9:
OTA Rootkeeper will only not work if the complete /system partition is wiped. At the moment this is not the case with current OTA updates.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] philseven:
Can you apply this method and update a rom in specifc prime rom. Thanks in advance :-)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dingbatt:
Worked as advertised on my B70. I had frozen DMClient using Titanium Backup so it didn't keep bugging me about the update. However when I thawed it out while applying the above procedure the transfomer told me I had an update and to click the notification in the bar, but there wasn't one (notification). A reboot brought things back the way they should be and I was able to click on the notification and complete the process.

Could I request the OP keep this thread up to date as to whether it is effective on future updates where ASUS tries to take away root (thinking particularly of possible ICS).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] goodoane:
I will keep this update if we gonna have new updates.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Juroid:
Just in case if you are not aware, Modern Combat 3 is on sale for $0.99 on Android Market. This game is suppose to be compatible with Bionic.

---Mod, I was not sure which section of the forum I am suppose to post this topic.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] blubyu87gt:
Pretty good game so far! Also recommend going with Sixaxis controller so you can use it to play a crap load easier! Also hooking it up to the big screen via hdmi and using the controller is kinda awesome!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eraursls1984:
I didn't think any gameloft games supported Bluetooth controllers, I tried a few a couple months back and they weren't compatible. I did find a controller called phone joy that's a dualshock knock off that supposedly let's you play any android game with it but it cost almost as much as a dualshock and has a long back order.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] blubyu87gt:
The sixaxis app can be set to emulate an actual screen touch. You can make a touch profile that has the X button on the controller register as a screen press to the specific area to fire. Pretty spiffy. Makes GTA3 fun as hell too! Does require root... But if you're on this site that's likely not an issue.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eraursls1984:
GTA 3 says it supports Bluetooth controllers such as the dualshock 3 and wiimote but it doesn't work with my dualshock 3. I'm using "sixaxis controller" from the market, it won't let me update though because it says I haven't purchased it yet even though I bought it about 3 months back right before I had my t bolt replaced with the bionic. Is there any other app that may work better (I know it worked just fine on the t bolt and should on the bionic but I'm not sure if is working correctly)

What are you using to remap the controls?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] blubyu87gt:
The new version/s of SixAxis have the ability to set touch profiles. The game has nothing to do with the compatibility.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] span_01:
Hey all!

I've been following the CyanogenMod guide on compiling the kernel and I've successfully compiled a kernel for the 7510. The next step is now to create a flashable zip with there is a guide for here:

http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Unpack,_Edit,_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images

According to that guide you are supposed to extract the boot and recovery to be able to unpack, edit and re-pack the images. However, when I type "cat /proc/mtd" in a root shell I only get the headers of the output "dev: size erasesize name" and no listing.

Anyone go an idea on how to extract these images to create something that can be flashed? Is there perhaps an easier and better way to do this?

Note that the kernel I'm compiling is pershoots ICS kernel and I'm doing this just for fun and learning... no glamour or ruined creds :P. Unforunately this means that it is probably not possible to repackage one of pershoots already created update.zip's (the 3.2 versions) with a different zImage?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmmxracer:
I have not tried to compile a kernel yet, I'm trying to remember what I did last time to just get pershoots' kernel on the last build.

I think what I did was make a complete build from cyanogen source and then I used a windows OS guide to unpack and repack the boot.img with the new kernel. I'm sure that won't help you since you don't even have a kernel yet.

What OS are you building in?

It was real late at night last time I read about compiling a kernel, but I thing it requires extracting a working kernel from the device???
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] span_01:
Thanks for your reply. I do have a kernel build already, it's baked and finished :)

I'm on Ubuntu, Mac and Win 7 if it's really needed (would hate to reboot my machine :P). Perhaps the guide you followed is the one I linked to above? That is not working for me unfortunately since I can't get to the boot and recovery images.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] span_01:
Hmm, this has me confused now. Perhaps my flashing efforts have been working all along.

In the kernels I've compiled and flashed before, they have always showed my information in the "Kernel version" field in "About tablet". Thus I have been checking that field after my flashes and it hasn't changed once.

I've tried several different updater scripts and none has worked, or so I have believed. I became a bit suspicious about this and checked the build.prop for the ICS KANG ROM, and it has some properties that I think may be causing the confusion.

Under "# autogenerated by buildinfo.sh" ... there are these props among others:

ro.build.user=eric

ro.build.host=Venom

Wouldn't that be shown under "Kernel version" as eric@Venom although I've flashed the kernel build on my system?

All the flashes I've done, most of them packaged from versions of Koush's AnyKernel script have gone through without warnings so perhaps my flashes have been working all along?

Running uname -a from the shell on the device gives this though:

Linux localhost 2.6.36.4-cyanogenmod+ #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Dec 25 18:14:16 EST 2011 armv7l GNU/Linux

That would indicate that it was build on the 25th of december wouldn't it? Well, that's not today so in that case I have still failed :P.

Would someone be able to have a look at my zip to see if it's validly structured if I pm a link to it?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmmxracer:
Perhaps that guide is a bit dated?

This is the one I used: http://www.freeyourandroid.com/guide/extract-edit-repack-boot-img-windows

Awesome, thanks. Will look into that.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] RaptorMD:
I am looking to purchase an HTC Flyer, but I noticed I can get a new HTC Evo View for nearly the same price on eBay. I have no need or interest in Sprints network (Verizon customer) and plan on using this only with WiFi or with my Verizon LTE MiFi.

So for nearly the same price point for new hardware is it worth it? Can I just install a custom WiFi ROM on my Evo View or do I need to use an Evo View custom ROM for HC?

Thanks again.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] gedster314:
I would buy the View even if I was not interested in the Sprint functionality. The View has 32GB of internal storage + you can ad a 32GB card. Having the the 3G/4G radio gives you built in GPS and you run navigation apps that have precached data.

IF GPS and memory don't interest you, the Flyer does have more devs behind it and there are more ROMs for it.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] AidenM:
What the other guy said, plus you cannot install a Flyer ROM on View, or a View ROM on the Flyer. The View just got a burst of development activity with more ROM's, HC, and stuff.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] RaptorMD:
Thanks guys, I pulled the trigger and got the Evo View New Factory Sealed for $295. I am hopeful that Dev support will increase given the discount it had recently. All in all 32GB of storage was the big part for me and HC is out and there is ROM development happening.

Thanks for the feedback. It was tough deciding, but the HTC Flyer prices for new and even used are reaching $300 on eBay so for the same cash but more memory. I am already to root it and install the script that kills the 3G/4G radios hopefully that doesn't kill the GPS portion. Still if it does oh well I have in car Nav anyways and a Galaxy Nexus on Verizon.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] n7of9:
uuuhhh, i have a Flyer with 32GB internal plus 32GB sd card plus 3G radio/sim card slot
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maine_Coon:
3G/4G and GPS are the two independent things.

Unless you are talking about AGPS.

Still:

Any offline app such as CoPilot or Sygic will use built-in (excellent btw) GPS receiver on the View.

Regardless of 3G/4G.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] gedster314:
Yes I know 3g/4g is different then GPS but the 3G radio has a GPS receiver built into the chip. All modern radios include GPS. Just like how Bluetooth is included on wifi chips. Thats how the hackers were able to get Bluetooth working on the Nook Color. B&N just did not solder in an antenna for it which is why it has such crappy range.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bsweetness:
The Flyer has built-in GPS as well. In order for any Android device to be approved by Google to have official access to the Android Market and Google apps, one of the requirements is that it has GPS.

That said, the View is the better buy in my opinion. It has everything the Flyer has and more. Plus, development is really picking up.

Hi can anybody assist me please I am trying to install the new camera all onto my Samsung glide, I have read that I use Root Explorer go to system/app and rename camera.apk and install the new file in its place.

But my problem is root explorer says that the system file is read only and cannot be renamed how do I get round this rather than using the Odin for my computer.

My issue with the camera is when in landscape it works perfect but when I switched to portraits the screen goes blank.

Many thanks.

Does you permissions set in root explorer to write to root? I haven't used root explorer? I use es explorer from the market and set the permissions in setting under root settings...device needs to be rooted

Maybe try ES Explorer? and make sure you give the program permissions to mount and write to the root
