[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JFMFT:
Just rooted my phone a week ago and installed setcpu and a new kernel (made for 4.0.2 - and I quadruple checked that 1) I am definitely on 4.0.2 and 2) the kernel is definitely made for 4.0.2 (it's Faux's 4.0.2 kernel).

With that out of the way, here's my issue: with SetCPU installed, my phone is a slow, laggy mess. When I uninstall the application, my phone is fast, zippy, and all is well. It doesn't make sense given the context. More details below.

Specific things that lag especially bad are the following: 1) very slow screen wake/unlock (without any screen-off profile set/enabled and with the phone at stock min/max CPU frequency and ondemand and interactive governors, and also when underclocked and overclocked and in any combination you can think of); 2) homescreen performance; 3) typing; 4) switching between apps; 5) answering phone calls

I have tried using Setcpu with and without screen off profiles set and enabled, I have tried using the phone at stock clock, overclocked to 1.35ghz, and underclocked to 920mhz, and in all situations and combinations, the phone is slow, jerky, and a bit laggy. I also played with different scaling governors (interactive and ondemand mostly), and had the issue regardless of the governor used. I have not messed with voltage or anything else.

This issue has persisted over three days now, it happens regardless of how many times I've rebooted the phone and uninstalled/reinstalled the SetCPU application, etc. In short, there seems to be nothing I'm doing wrong on my end (or so I think) to explain this issue. And every single time I uninstall SetCPU, my phone is a speed demon again.

I have never had this issue on any previously rooted phone using Setcpu. Also, yes, I wiped cache AND dalvik cache before flashing Faux's kernel. I am not new to Android, cell phones, rooting, flashing kernels, etc. I can even use ADB without problems.

So, hopefully I covered all my bases. Anyone have any thoughts on why I might have been experiencing this issue?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krarvind:
looks like the folder is nor shared properly. Will fix it soon

Edit: Links fixed. Anybody interested in testing it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wilsonlam97:
With a device like the Galaxy Nexus and it's power. There's no need for a slim version unless if you want to make it for the G1:p

I love my GN. I made it my full-time device so no flashing for me:o
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krarvind:
I agree with you on the power and GN, but any device can use a slimmer ROm which only makes the device fly faster. Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nory82688:
I'm going to download now for you. Will report back later
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rlsroufe:
Does not boot on my device. This is exactly what Im looking for though so I hope you can get it to work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nory82688:
What file did you DL. There is three files I'm seeing.

Edit: nvm I found it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rlsroufe:
Sorry meant that it actually wont install. says installation aborted.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krarvind:
can you tell me the exact error details. Thanks

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krarvind:
hey bk, how goes things. still own a SGS or now with GN?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krarvind:
figured out the problem, it was in my update script on how it was trying to mount system. links updated on the first post. same as this one ( http://www.box.com/s/zf4652eggxpo2i2tjvtc)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rlsroufe:
Same problem. installation aborted. this is exactly what it says:

Random ofset: Oxdd

assert failed: write_raw_image ("/tmp/boot.img" , boot")

E:Error in /sdcard/Download/Slim_ICS_Maguro_alpha_1.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krarvind:
Maguro places the boot a new way. It should be fixed now. If you don't want redownload the ROM, you can open up your updater script within the zip file and edit the lines at the end where it says assert(package_extract ( ....

delete "/tmp/boot.img) with

package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/boot");

This is the change i made. line after this should unmount system. Please let me know how it goes and thanks for trying.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nory82688:
Yeah I got the same thing
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krarvind:
can you check with the latest update please.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
Hey ya,

Nice work so far, it boots :D.

Actually it works quite well the only thing which I found was that the camera isn't working. I attached a logcat for you. I hope it helps. Error is quite at the end. But I thought it's probably a good idea if you have the full logcat. So you can see how the Rom is behaving.

What I've done is:

1. Press the Power Button to wake the device up.

2. Unlock the screen.

3. Press the camera icon. (The camera crashes immediately)

4. Pessed the camera icon again just to be sure.

I reinstalled Email, Exchange, Marketupater, Market and talk if that matters.

I used ES File Explorer to put them into /system/app.

I didn't reinstalled any other apps then the few above.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Doctorword:
Hello again lol, was wondering...I got a collection of books and most of them are the usual standard PDF's but some are called epubs. Was wondering what I needed to open those up for reading? Thank you in advance for any help I love this community! :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Montisaquadeis:
the nook reading up can handle epubs just fine as that is the format i use most of the time so no problems with reading them.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Doctorword:
oh so just use the default nook reader for those?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Montisaquadeis:
You could use any app that supports epub files to read them and i was just letting you know that the nook natively supports the epub format
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lenardo:
pretty much the only device/app that cannot read epub is the kindle/kindle app

get calibre can convert any format ebook to any other format....
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] wklink:
In addition to the Native nook app, Overdrive and FBReader and Overdrive Media Console (both in the Market) can read epubs. Overdrive is good for reading DRM-protected library books, but it doesn't change pages as smoothly as the native reader. FBReader can read just about anything.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] elrui:
I was reading standard e-pubs but got tired of the changing font size from book to book. I downloaded calibre (it's a book library manager) and used its built in converter to change my epubs over to .mobi format. I then opened these in the kindle for android app. Much more text control and easier to read format. Worked for me.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Doctorword:
is there a reader program that can adjust font or letter size without pinch zooming?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rhester72:
Aldiko and Mantano (both great readers) support font changes without pinching.

Rodney
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Doctorword:
funny, i have mantano and couldnt find that
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rhester72:
Not sure why. Mantano stock config supports menu (tap page to bring up menu, choose display, raise or lower font size) and gesture (swipe down) resizing.

Rodney
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Doctorword:
Im sorry I just looked through it again and just dont see what your talking about. I cant find anything that says font. I went into display and theres just a zoomer and couple other things that have nothing to do with the font.

Calibre

Is it free and can you get the Calibre apk somewhere other than the Android Market?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] RadicalAns:
For epubs I use fbreader. If you're going to do PDFs, ezPDF pro is the best app available, hands down.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] R2N2:
I use Aldiko Pro and Calibre (to manage my books). Hear hear!

Hello everyone I was trying, desperately, how to create folders in folders, on the page where all programs are grouped.

There I said: "looking for a launcher" but then I do not know how to say anything more precise, some say, "yeah, yeah, there's a program ........... "but then you do not remember the name.

In practice the end no one can tell me if with Android, by trik, launcher, or programs you can make folders in folders.

ANYONE CAN HELP ME ?!?!?

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Climber Ty:
What I'd like to do is to pull off all the files (keeping the structures intact) and either create an image file (.bin/.img) or something along those lines.

I know of DDMS and Android Commander, but I don't think they have the full power to get everything and I also understand the phone has to be rooted (which is not a big deal). Has anyone had any luck/expertise in this area?

If I can get this to work it then it would help out with some of the research that I am doing since it'll be easier to mount the image file in linux and go from there.

Alternate idea, does anyone know if when making a backup of the rom with CWM or BM does it hold the same type of data? If so where is the boot.img located?

Thanks for the help in advance!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sspa:

You can use an app called App2card at below for your need. It has the data tools for backing up any file/folder on any kind of storage (internal flash, fat32, ext2/3/4...) and ability to restore them in original structure as they were when backing up

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Climber Ty:
Thanks, I tried that last night but the init.rc and other imortant files cannot be copied due to permissions access.

I eventually used CWM to make a backup of the phone and pulled the files that way. I just wonder if it has all the files on the phone (haven't had time to root through it yet)?

[Samsung Infuse 4G] jz3:
I am sort of stuck on froyo since I must have BLN on my phone. What is the possibility of BLN ever being ported to a GB kernel? Are there any kernel devs left?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
bln was kinda abandoned because of its unpredictable nature. I had it working on froyo with whatever kernel it is that has it but out of nowhere it stopped behaving. others never had it working at all. it wasn't written for the infuse and it has bugs on this phone. I dunno. maybe it can be done. Linux bozo is still around, he just hasn't released anything lately. not really anything to release until we see att source code.

you can use tasker to light the flash on notifications though. but its quite bright, eats batteries and can be distracting.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jz3:
Yeah, BLN a little glitchy at times but generally works well on my phone. I tried tasker and led lights both killed battery. That is my only gripe about the slate form factor, no led notifications. They could actually put an led under the glass if they wanted to.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] LinuxBozo:
Yeah, on GB it pretty much isn't gonna happen, as it's not worth it. Even on froyo, the implementation was iffy. Basically, any implementation will require that you lose deep sleep because of the wakelock required to send commands to the the controller to turn the backlights on/off. This is why the froyo version would allow you to touch the cap keys with the screen off and they would light up. I tried to solve it without a wakelock happening, but always ran into race conditions, and therefore, boom goes the phone.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jz3:
Linux, thanks for the info. Good to see your still with us!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jmatt78:
I'm running boosts miui and it has bln
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jz3:
Does it actually work? If so what kernel are you using?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jayson94538:
The only kernel you can use with MIUI/CM7 is the one it comes with.

Sent from my SGH-I997
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jz3:
That was LB's kernel so BLN a no go.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Did I9000/Captivate BLN hold a wakelock? Everyone kept on raving about how little drain BLN caused, but if it held a wakelock it would be awful for battery.

I know on the I9100/I777 no one has pulled off BLN without holding a long wakelock.

Either way - too much work for too little reward. If BLN for gingerbread hadn't been a stability nightmare it might be there - but even after multiple attempts, it was never possible to make it behave in a stable manner.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
I don't know the development details but I had a captivate and early kernels did sometimes behave like the infuse did. also developers insisted that it didn't drain battery but I don't know how they were figuring that, they may have been going off how much the light them selves draw but many bln kernels I used did have a notable drop in battery life. I think it was just pride from the developers that couldn't think of a reason it would drain batteries because people did complain at first and the devs said no way you're wrong.

I think the later kernels did better in behavior and battery life but I guess you'd have to get in contact with some i9000 developers to figure that out. maybe the controller or drivers are different I simply don't know.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
The driver architecture is very different from I9000/Cappy to the I9100. Infuse is closer to I9000/Cappy I think.

Easy to confirm if you have one of the said devices:

Charge to full

Reboot device

Reset timers in CPU Spy

Activate a BLN notification using the test function of BLN control, let it sit a while

Wake it up, check deep sleep percentages and kernel wakelock history in BetterBatteryStats. (Note, back when BLN first went into the I9000/Cappy, BBS didn't display kernel wakelocks.)

I did just the opposite - I held back BLN on the I777 for over a month because of the fact that it held wakelocks. People kept begging for it so now I have a release that has a warning in giant red letters that an active BLN notification will drain your battery.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
captivate went to my brother. been thinking about getting another though. if it weren't for the pentile matrix screen making text hard to read and the low Res TV out it would've been perfect. the infuse looks cheaper/ is uglier and despite the HDMI only hardware accelerated videos actually use it. it wasn't worth the upgrade.

the i777 is basically perfect but I promised myself the next new phone I Get will have lte and be an international flagship, not just one or the other.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] slicingtaco:
