Excuse me, I was wrong. The tbolt with its locked bootloader was solved a little differently. I think what they did was flash an entirely different bootloader to it. One that was still encrypted but unlocked. Don't know if that's possible in this case but thought it was something to mention.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] painter_:
Maybe we should talk to nemith and fattire and they may have some suggestions. I am no where shilled at this level of development to talk intelligently to them. My development skills lie in the .Net field and at the application level. So I am not much help. :(
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] oneovakindoldys2:
@painter... i have been looking through the nook forums that you referred to and i certyainly think that this is possible route to go with the a100. this is also way above my skillset, however i will be more than happy to do what i can if there are any developers interested. i have been doing alot of research into the locked bootloader and this is the most promising news that i have heard so far. I wish we could get more devs interested in this little tablet because it has great potential if we could get past the bootloader.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] mvan4310:
What Ill do later is download the code again, had before, but accidentally deleted it, and look through some of the more important code to see what can be found. Why would Acer put up the source code if there isnt a way to alter the kernel? Seems counter-intuitive to put it up without a purpose...
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] oneovakindoldys2:
here is some info on 2nd init, if anyone smarter than me is interested in having a look.....good luck!..... http://cvpcs.org/blog/2011-06-14/2nd-init._what_it_is_and_how_it_works
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] crossix:
Because they have to, its required by gpl to make the source public. Just because they make it public, doesnt mean that it'll compile properly though. But, in this case it does compile cleanly and with it we could probably take bits and pieces of cwm for the a500 and get it to work (their gpl version not thor's recovery). How to do that tough with our current encrypted recovery I dunno.

I looked at the thread and it definitely looks like something doable but what offset would we use and how would we tell the boot partition to go look for a custom recovery when we cant even open it to alter its contents since it and the recovery partitions are both encrypted.

If you make a image of either partition using dd and try to mount it and read its contents you see gibberish rather then editable files in the images. might be able to poke at it with a hex editor, but that's beyond my skill level.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] mvan4310:
Im still in the extraction process, and it is a rather large image. Its around 500mb compressed. I can take a look into it, but cant make any promises that Ill find anything at all. I understand the gpl and whatnot, and the partitions being encrypted, and am just hoping that somewhere in the kernel is a clue as to what is being done that can help us along the way to cracking this thing.

I didnt think of this until now, but is the newer A500 encrypted? If s, maybe we can find the difference between the older and the newer version somehow and see what they are using. Just a thought, could be completely wrong.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] crossix:
from what I understood (I could be completely wrong though) one of the newest updates that brought the a500 up to 3.2.1 changed their encryption method so itsmagic (their security hole) no longer worked. The work around for that was to downgrade to 3.2 and install cwm / itsmagic and them flash a recovery 3.2.1 image.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] mvan4310:
Hmm, Not sure. Ill look around. Im still trying to root my tab, have been unsuccessful thus far, and about 3 hours into trying..
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pr0crast1nate:
is there any benefit in opening the device and sniffing around? I know the bootloader's encrypted but some of it might not be? That's how GeoHot found the first iPhone unlock exploit; by shorting two pins or something?

I also know it's possible to read NAND chips with an Arduino to some extent. I dunno, just talking out loud...
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] mvan4310:
Never thought of finding a way through the hardware itself. I have never opened my Acer, probably wont. I have a Chromebook and they only way to install another OS on it was to flip a switch and pop the cover off, since it has a button thats enabled with the case on that prevents writing to specific portions and whatnot... Good thought. Maybe someone will look into this further.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] madman_sle:
I think its very nifty that it has an expansion slot for a cellular chip. All the specs I can find on the 3g a101 show it as having half the RAM. Wonder what it would take to pop a 3g chip in there and get it working. :-\ You would probably have to flash the firmware from the 101 to get it to see the chip...
[HTC Rezound] mrbracht:
I have a question.. what the heck is causing my phone to never sleep? Like the up time and the awake time are always the same.. I'm thinking that is what is draining my battery.. plus WiFi never stays on.. constantly turning itself off. Any help would be much appreciated

Go into display setting and change sleep time. And for wifi go in to wifi settings hit the menu button and select advance and you will see wifi policy and choose the one thats best suits you.
[HTC Rezound] mrbracht:
Done both of those and still have the issue. The screen shuts off its just that something is always keeping it working and not letting it take a break hense ny terrible battery life

[HTC Rezound] andybones:
It has to be an app that you downloaded.

Get betterbatterystats . It will tell you what is keeping it awake
[HTC Rezound] dopediculous:
Go to settings, power and turn off fast boot =)

Your phone just "hibernates" unless that's unchecked.

Also another HUGE tip to save battery is to uncheck "enable always-on mobile data" under settings, wireless and networks, mobile networks. You will have to "manually" update Widgets (big deal) but there is no reason for your phone to keep weather, Facebook etc... Up to real time while its in your pocket. HTC sent these phones with the settings like this for a "better" user experience, but IMO its not necessary.

Hope this helps man.

[LG Nitro HD] dbjungle:
Has anyone been able to successfully change the LCD density on the Nitro HD yet? 320 is a little too Preschool / Fisher Price for me. I've tried 160, but get stuck with a loop at the AT&T screen. I'm going to try some different sizes and see what I can do. I'm imagining the problem has something to do with the LG customized interface.
[LG Nitro HD] repherb:
Might want to be careful there dbjungle, messing around with that could do some serious harm.
[LG Nitro HD] dbjungle:
Very true. I use an app on the market called LCD Density and it has an option to use a density temporarily.

While testing I found that 160 is just unrealistic for this device. That's what I used on my Inspire which has a much lower dpi to begin with. I am working comfortably at 265 right now, but maybe I can go just a little bit lower. Hopefully all apps are still scaling properly.
[LG Nitro HD] AllstarE4:
Honest question here...

What is the purpose of lowering the LCD density and what would it do?
[LG Nitro HD] dbjungle:
Basically you can fit more on screen. It's not that useful for the home screen, but it's pretty cool for your web browser, tapatalk, e-mail and texting. With the stock density you can only see like one line of your own text message.

I ended up only being able to get down to 264 for my lowest density.
[LG Nitro HD] dbjungle:
It's especially useful on a phone with a 720p IPS display. ;)
[LG Nitro HD] bimjunk:
You can go below 264 if you turn this flag to "false" in build.prop before a reboot - tried it myself assuming you are using a different homescreen - these turn off the LG lock screen and stock lockscreen comes into play. 144 is too small but being 16X9 = 144, everything is properly aligned. 192 is also on the smaller side (144+16X3), 240 suits me....enjoy..

OK I'm thoroughly confused.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nineismine:
Hi guys I received a Refurbed phone today and unlocked my phone. I have tried both Tenfars and the RomManager version of recovery on my phone. When I boot up my phone says Unlocked and if I choose to I can enter fastboot or recovery without issue. The problem comes when I try to flash a rom.

After doing the standard Factory reset, wipe cache wipe dalvik, I reboot and then get stuck on the Dual core screen. I have waited more than five minutes on this screen with no luck. Any suggestions?

I have tried both Aura and Darkside in the same manner as described above.

Thanks much!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joel_sinbad:
You may NOT wipe Factory Reset after flashing a rom... maybe its that the problem...

1.- Wipe Data/Factory

2.- Wipe Cache

3.- Flash your desired ROM

4.- Reboot

Try it in that order...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nineismine:
Yeah I always do all of the wipes before the rom... It ended up being fixed by reflashing RomRacers recovery. Thanks

70mb of traffic for removed apps process? Why do we even need that? Even if we need it some way why is it done ALL THE WAY in background? Dosent that keep the device awake? I got around 100kb/s speed and with a sleeping(screen off) device the speed is even lower. So the traffic could keep the device awake for a long time and kill the battery.

If not, then what on earth is that process and why it eat 70 of my mbs in 2 days?

I have the same information displayed on my handset as seen from OP's screenshots. I'm also interested in knowing what these "removed apps" could be.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsrdemon:
The battery drain bug was due to "auto rotation" feature. please check the forums for more details. turn it off to see better battery performance.

lot of Custom ROMs have been released since then which have drastically improved the performance. Apex ROM with Matr1x kernel is what i am using and it doesnot have better drain issues or the "Removed Apps" process that you mentioned in data usage monitoring tool.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flavinator:
I have the same issue, and I can't seem to find a straight answer as to why or what the Removed Apps is doing, can someone please give me a straight explanation?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedudejdog:
i think it's the combined data used by apps that used to be installed on your phone...before you removed them.

does that make sense? like if you installed google music and streamed 300MB of music then deleted the app. the app has been removed but the data it used will still be on that billing cycle.

it just doesn't bother to separate it into background and foreground or maybe it can't. data is data once the app is gone.

[Online Courses, Schools, and Other External Resour] EndDream:
Hello I appreciate the time you are taking to read my thread!

I have a background in real estate development and no programming experience. I already have a bachelors in Business (emphasis Finance). I am currently getting my MBA in an evening program at one of the top 20 schools in the world. I don't want to go back into real estate and want to get into the tech industry.

What I really want is to become a mobile applications developer (ios/andriod).

I can financially support my existence with a part-time job and the MBA really isn't that hard because I have an undergrad degree in business. These activities will take about 35 hours of my time a week, 45 hours during finals week.

So, I want to go back and get a degree so I can break into this field. So I am looking for recommendations.

Looking at the local state college it looks like the program is really outdated and I won't learn much practical knowledge. Having already done a bunch of college I don't really want to spend my time getting a degree to have another degree. I want to be at least relatively work force ready at graduation.

So it looks like my only option is to do an online degree.

I have identified a few options.

Full Sail, this was the only program I could find where you can specifically study Mobile development. I like that its completely project based because I will learn practical experience. Having a completed app by graduation will certainly help find a job I would think. It is however expensive and I have seen some complaints about the school online. However these complaints seemed to be mostly from people pursing a recording arts degree. IMO its crazy to pursue a degree where thousands of people graduate for only a few new openings a year. Could probably graduate in about 2 years.

Western Governors University. Has lots of good reviews online and is quite inexpensive ($6000 a year). Also you get 18 tech certifications as you go through the program. I am worried it will be less practical and it will certainly take more time. Also, its in "software" in general. So I would need to spend additional time after graduation getting more certifications and building an app to get hired most likely.

Baker College, I haven't heard much about it. It's also pretty inexpensive. Looks like it could take a while.

I have also seen Mobile development certifications from Champlain College and University of Washington Online

I would love to hear of what tech professionals think about these degrees/programs. Also, if you have heard of any other options please let me know!
[Online Courses, Schools, and Other External Resour] Jabawockee:
Sorry I'm not a tech pro but I did enroll into Full Sail Mobile App program. I am starting on the 30th of this month. I did 3 months of extensive research including some of the schools you mentioned, and from what I have found is that Full Sail offers the best Mobile Program you can find. The applications they teach you to use is future proof. What I mean by that for example is once you learn Adobe CSS 5.5, it will be easy to transition into CSS 6, or 6.5 when it does come out. The only down side I see to it is that you are going to pay for it. The program is expensive $57,000 total for a B.A.S. From what I see is its worth it, if your serious about pursuing this career field, Full Sail is the way to go if you can afford it. Its either this or learn old soon to be outdated tools at other schools only to end up trying to catch up even after you graduate.
[Online Courses, Schools, and Other External Resour] tkoh:
breaking in to the mobile dev industry

I have a similar interest in getting started in the mobile app development industry. i agree with the initial poster that going to a brick and mortar school to learn will soon be outdated once you graduate. It's hard for them to keep up with the changing nature of the industry.

I have zero experience in programming and mobile app development. As I learn about the field, I have more questions.

I haven't looked into the different programs available, but I would imagine there are some free resources to learn some basics without having to go through a degree. What does a degree even mean? I feel that being able to create something tangible is more valuable than a piece of paper. I'm sure there is a benefit to the degree as it gives you the necessary background information. W3schools offers free online training in a plethora of disciplines...html, css xml...and so on. I just need to find out which ones I need to focus on, and how to put it all together.

60K for a degree is a lot. Hope you are able to find a job afterward to pay off the loan, or if you're lucky to recoup the investment of the tuition.

[Q] Getting permanent white "HTC" screen while trying "Virtuous" rom

I followed step by step everything ordered to install Virtuous Inquisition v2.0.1 (yes, I wiped data and cache using Clockwork and then installed it), however, when I try to boot it, I get a permanent white screen.

However, if I remove the battery and restart it, I get a boot loop after the "V" logo.

Any ideas? :confused:
[HTC Sensation] dislplin01:
Did you install the new firmware?????? that will cause a boot loop if you didnt
[HTC Sensation] rafaelbelliard:
Thanks to your question, I fixed it.

I had installed a firmware, however, I used the one on techsliver.com/how-to-root-htc-sensation-4g-an-easy-step-by-step-guide/ (4mb) instead of the one on the thread, because said website had a step by step and this being my first day with the phone, I used that thinking it was the same.

So I used the 19mb one and voila.

Thank you again for helping a newbie out. :)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biggerswede:
Hey all,

Thank's for a great forum. I've been searching everything I could find about this weird behavior on the Samsung Galaxy Note.

1. I made factory reset.

2. Formatted SD

3. Rooted and installed RocketRom V17 with Abyssnote 3.0.

4. Regardless of launcher, LauncherPro, Go Launcher, ADW Launcher, SPB Shell 3D I still experience lag when scrolling, opening apps (random freeze lag with 1-2 seconds).

5. Even with wiping cache, reboot several times, using SetCPU, Autostart, Memorykillers etc... still lag appears every know and then.

At the moment I've given upp and can't find any solution the problem more than it is faulty hardware. It's kinda annoying when showing the phone to friends and you click on facebook, 1-2 seconds lag, or clicking on sms or gallery and you have 1-2 seconds lag, same sometimes when you click on camera... There’s nearly a 2 second delay when you take the phone away from your ear. The screen takes a long time to reappear so you can just hang up the call or sometimes even answer the call.

I know that a lot of people don't care about this but with this phone being such a masterpiece this shouldn't happen.

Android 2.3.6

Baseband N7000XXLA1

Same problem the lag is annoyin as hell. Bought note 2 days ago and feel like returning it until I tryed ics alpha which is smoother than stock roms, but way too buggy.

So the only reason I'm keaping this laggy phone is ics.

i hv experience lagginess as well on all 3rd party launcher. LauncherPro being the smoothest, but the lag still there. I end up using stock TWlauncher, coz thats the only launcher that i will call smooth.

For this issue i would not call it a hardware problem.. Do you have the same lag as well on stock TWlauncher? On TWlauncher I would say its 100% buttery smooth, at least on mine.

So, but those launcher running fine on other phone, why would it lag on G.Note?

I believe its the 1280x800 high resolution that these 3rd party launcher are not designed to handle. But the way I see it, its not hardware problem.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackkarthickg:
Dude same problem here with 2 to 3 sec of lag, I have the exact same version of ROM as yours and I'm facing the same problem, I tried almost everything, so many apps and mods but nothing works it's always there. One moment its buttery smooth and the next it lags and I just got over it....

Other than that it just works fine.......
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biggerswede:
Well the lag, with scrolling is there sometimes on touchwiz especially when going from homemenu to appdrawer but, the main problem I'd say is the 1-3 seconds lag when clicking on an app installed/system. With LauncherPRO I have 0 lag with scrolling both in Homemenu with widgets and going from home to appdrawer.

I know that IOS and Android need to first start apps and then it will stay in memory for faster start the next time, but even frequently used ones like Contacts or SMS or SETTINGS or FACEBOOK will have the 1-3 second lags even if I started them and jump out using home menu. I think this i generally after a lockscreen or screen going dark or phone being idle. And I'm using default locksreen. This will not happen everytime and thats why I assume it's either a hardware issue with RAM or bad memory management, like I remember I saw on IOS when they started with MULTITASKING. I was searching and found people having LAG or FREEZE after a lockscreen, but the solutions for that didn't make my 1-3 random lag go away unfortunelty.

Thansk for a great forum and I hope we don't go black on the 18th.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pandey18:
I think the random bits of lag have a lot to do with the cpu governor. Which cpu governors are you guys using? If u monitor your cpu frequency with a widget you'll notice the lag is only when there's a drop in cpu clock. Using lulzactive i see some occasional lag. Lesser with ondemand and least with performance of course. Wonder if there's a way to adjust response times for the governors.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatanZ:
For ondemand governor, there is.

In directory /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand

There are a few files controlling the parameters of this governor. The ones that might make this governor raise speed faster are up_threshold and sampling_rate.
