Pull battery. Plug phone in. Should look like its charging. The put battery in phone when its plugged in. It will then charge.

Hello guys,

As I didn't succed to find an artical discussing SEAndroid so I decided to make this thread

To my understanding, SEAndroid, is a security enhanced Android version built by NSA which uses SELinux as it backbone, this version enforce the separation between apps, and thus it solves the critical issues coming from mallicious apps.

It is totally Open source, so everyone can download it and use it

For more information, hit the link:

I was going to make a build after lunch today. I wish I could find some documentation about custom ROM's because I would like to see this in one
[Android General] Johnny Sorrow:
any apps actually made yet?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Spidey01:
From experience reading this board, if i was in the tablet making business, I would make one with like 4GB RAM, an unlock[ed | able] bootloader and crap battery life, just to see how many people here at XDA would buy the darn thing and try to make a ROM with battery battery life and OC.

The most verbose people here about the "Eww, only 1GB" types have probably moved on to primes and are demanding TF700T's or whatever is next.

In most cases, we're likely just better off screwing with Dalvik and tuning our TF101's ROMs. It's still a VM and Java involved after all, not assembly code running natively to start with.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] goodintentions:
I've proposed many times that asus should come out with a TF model called Asus Transformer Whiner's Edition TFwhine. In it, there will be 4gig of ram, 100gig of sdcard space, 30hr of bat life, paper thin, water proof, fingerprint proof, sticky as hell (for the butter fingers), and foldable full size PC keyboard. But I'm sure the whiners will find some other thing to whine about.

To me, 1gig of ram is enough. I've never had any issue with running out of ram. I'm serious. This has never come up for me. I mean, what the hell are people running that requires more than a gig of ram?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] letsgophillyingeneral:
More RAM would be nice, but I'm more excited about Windows 8 and the new 'ultrabooks' that we'll see in the near future.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] goodintentions:
Can you give us a few examples of when you couldn't do something because it only has 1gig of ram?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] just lou:
I have 2 other tablets and 2 phones with only 512mb of ram, even that seems to be enough for Android. IMO, anything over 1gb would be overkill.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] letsgophillyingeneral:
Sorry, I thought I was still on the Charge forums. The Charge only has half a gig.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] shadymouse:

Seriously!! What the hell are people doing that 1GB isn't enough. We used to run (some people still do) Microsoft Windows computers with less than a gig of RAM. It's ridiculous to even sit there and think, that you need more RAM on a phone or tablet.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] fonix232:
The browser kinda eats up lots of RAM (if I have around 3-4 pages open, as usual, it eats around 400MB!!), and basically, just the GPU eats off 120MB of all the thing.

FYI, a fast teardown:

- 1024MB RAM

- From that, 728MB is available mostly (some kernels push it to 768MB tops)

- Booting the system, with all the Asus crap loads approx 220-240MB into RAM, including all the things (Launcher, settings, applications autostarting, widgets). And that's a pretty good ratio.

- Basically you now got less than 500MB RAM. If you have tons of widgets, that can reduce free RAM to 400MB. And we're at the same point as smartphones - except that our devices have a lot bigger display, with a lot bigger resolution (2.666666 times more pixels), what means, we need bigger graphics too, what increases application RAM occupation.

Conclusion: With the current setup, we can run less applications on a 1GB RAM tablet than on a 512MB RAM phone (assuming it's a mid-end device with HDPI WVGA display, like, a Galaxy S). That's why we need more RAM, if you increase it to 2GB, you get approx 1.6GB free RAM, 1.3 after system start, and with many apps open, you'll get around 200MB free.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Spidey01:
Guess what? That means you're running to much lol. I've got about 450MB if one trusts the settings app; Google and Exchange services are eating at least 20 megs combined! Never mind crap that I don't actually use burning some too. Devices have limits, and 1GB seems to hold plenty until content creation enters the mix, and doing that on Android has more pressing limits in software and users than RAM available. Besides, 2GB tablets will more likely result in fatter apps to fill it than more space to run most apps. Just take a look at Minecraft PC.

My old development system had 1GB of RAM running FreeBSD, if you try to combine GCC, pidgin x 6 logins, Firefox x 20+ tabs, and streaming music with Flash on that laptop, it would all but hit a HCF. I could either compile or have a smooth web, or buy a more powerful laptop. I didn't need one because I could still fit everythig well enough inti its constraints, I wasn't about to start re-encodig lord of the rings whileni waited either.

Nah, instead of a physical keyboard built in, it ought to hover on it's own and type by mental uplink, or project one in 3D if we can't do that one yet. That way ASUS can still make money off the dock :-).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] asdfuogh:
Actually, wasn't there supposed to be development from an MIT project, where it was a device that projected keyboards and "touch screens" on whatever surface you aim it at? It was like one of those projector things you always see in exhibitions and fancy places, where the projector interacts with the things blocking the projections, but more cellphone-like and computer-like.

Also, who could argue with more RAM? I think the thing that holds that idea is back is tablet space. Just wait for the next generation RAM/memory structures. STT-RAM, it will be a universal RAM-Memory! Non-volatile RAM ftw!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Danzano:

Android = More than enough RAM for now atleast

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tubular:
And ultrabooks are irrelevant to this discussion. You can take your ultrabook and Windows 8 but that's at the point where it's not even remotely comparable to a tablet, much less an Android tablet like the TF101 or TF201 due to the hardware costs. The licensing cost of Windows 8 alone is going to increase the price significantly.

1GB of RAM is

more than

enough, this is meant to be an enjoyable, lightweight consumer tablet. Not a supercomputing cluster on the go. If you want more RAM you're on the wrong device. Go get an ultrabook or a laptop because you're attempting to cram your needs into 1GB of memory, not designed for your needs.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jerrykur:
My 2 cents it is that the memory requirement is a function of Apps. Right now most tablet's are running apps with limited functionality. But as the processors get better, more and more traditional desktop and notebook apps will migrate to tablets. This will be especially true for people that have tablets, like the Transformer, that blur the line between a tablet and a notebook. One can imagine something like Photoshop CS5 running on a tablet and easily requiring 4 GB or more of RAM.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] goodintentions:
Oh, absolutely. I am sure that in due time we will have tablets with like 20GB of ram. But for now, with the software we have now and the foreseeable future, anything more than 1GB of ram is just stupid.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tubular:
But that's a completely misguided notion of where apps and tablets are headed. Memory is not a function of apps, at least not linearly or continuously. I see memory hitting a ceiling in terms of heat, space and cost. I see apps not being developed with serious work in mind. You cited photoshop as an example and I think that's just bizarre. This is a tablet. There's this misguided notion that all mobile devices have to converge to the desktop in terms of performance and usage and I think it's bizarre and insane. When you cram a desktop into a tablet what is that? Why even bother when you can go for a laptop that would probably cost half in terms of price and multiples in terms of comfort? Why would any company bother doing this? Why would Google even push Android in this direction?

It's a tablet. You have fun, maybe do typing and word processing at the maximum and in special use cases. But it's meant to be lightweight, enjoyable and made for ENTERTAINMENT. User input at a minimum, simple touch movements, big on audio and visuals. Look at the screen to read a book, watch a video, listen to music. Pull your finger around or tilt the tablet. Not sit there and furiously work on a Photoshop project. That's what a mouse, a full sized keyboard and a desktop computer were made for.

When you talk about a future where RAM increases to meet the needs of apps, Photoshop is on the Android market and CPU power similarly increases to meet the needs. It's no longer a tablet, it's a laptop without a keyboard. It will be priced ugly and its design and specs will match that ugliness.

Maybe in the future we will have hardware so slim and so energy efficient and an input system so perfect all computers will be touch tablets, wafer thin, bendable and capable of running as fast as the U.S. govs fastest superclusters and everyone can download a genome sequencer app that lets you sequence the human genome on every tablet redundantly for ****s and giggles and within two seconds but I highly doubt this future will arrive within our lifetimes. Any attempt to head there by cramming a desktop ideal into a tablet form factor is misguided IMO.

You should google graphene. That's where we're heading. Graphene is so strong and so conductive that electronic parts as thin as 1 atom thick could be made. We're talking ultra thin electronic devices in the near future.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] *Detection*:
I don't think 1GB RAM is enough for Honeycomb, I regularly find my free RAM dropping to double figures <70MB and the system requiring a reboot.

Even using a task killer over time will not free up the same amount of RAM as was available after the previous reboot.

Honeycomb memory management needs a massive amount of work before it can be left to control RAM on its own, I think 1.5-2GB RAM would be a much better solution
[Eee Pad Transformer General] infazzdar:
In my opinion, more RAM on Android devices is just to keep more applications in memory for multitasking.

I couldn't imagine that a 256mb game, or even a 2mb app, would benefit from a device having more ram than the size of the app.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tubular:

Here's another interesting one.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] *Detection*:
The size of an app has nothing to do with how much RAM it consumes.

A prime example is firefox on a PC... around 17MB app, can use GB's of RAM due to memory leaks, and even without leaks, would still use a couple hundred MB

Viruses are another example, designed to use up as much system resources as possible while only being KB's in size

[Nexus S Accessories] goodboynyc:
Thing you’ll need:

Soldering Iron + Solder

18gauge wire

Add-A-Circuit

Spare fuse

Screwdriver

Pliers

Electrical tape

Belkin AirCast

Crack open the case. I used a pair of pliers and applied pressure to the case. When it started to crack at the seams, I just and used a flat head screwdriver to pry it open. Take off the cap from the spring and remove the wedges that stick out of the side.

The spring is the positive contact and the wire connected to the wedges is negative. I used some 18gauge wire for this step. I stripped the negative wire just enough to join about 6” of the 18gauge wire and topped it off with a loop crimp.

For the positive terminal I looped some bare wire around the spring and soldered it. I stripped the other side of the wire and joined it with the Add-A-Circuit and crimped it.

Now in your car, locate the fuse box for the interior of the car. since the add a circuit only works up to 10 amps, find a fuse that’s 10 amps that controls some accessory in the car that TURNS OFF when the is off. You wouldn’t want this to be turned on and drain you battery(albeit slowly). In my case I used the stereo fuse since it shuts off when the car is off and on when it is :p Now plop in the appropriate fuse(in my case, 10amps, since it has to match the fuse its being plugged into) and plug in your add-a-circuit.

That loop that’s on the negative end of the cable, find a metal bolt thats attached to the car somehow. In my case it was just off to the side of the panel I pryed off. Yours may be easier/harder to get to. Unscrew the bolt and slide the loop in and screw it back in. The easy part is done :S

You’ll want to decide where to put the microphone since that will dictate how hard the next step will be.

I decided to put the puck on the center of the dash. So I snaked the stereo wire from the center of the console to the fuse box and left enough slack to drag the wire back with he puck in attached. After that I just cleaned up the wires a bit by rolling them up.

I'll add pictures as soon as I upload them off my phone :p

Better idea ... get some REAL recording equipment (microphone, mixer and recoding device) instead of recording your "demo tapes" on a cheapo phone ...

I'm not a musician, but even I possess a studio-grade mic plus mixer plus hard drive audio recorder.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koukilou:
Thanks for your answers, it was just for avoid to rent a handy recorder each time ;)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B.Jay:
Well, if you _need_ to record by using some cheap solution ...

I've never tried, but how about using a BlueTooth connected Mic (though you're most likely back to the very same problem that you can't control/balance the input volume)?

Or ... use a laptop with a external USB sound card (there are some good ones out there), a good microphone and some recording software (there are several free ones out there to be found - or consider using "Ubuntu Studio")?

I think that's the best shot if you want to keep it "cheap".

EDIT: If using a Laptop (or Netbook) would be a option to you:

- You may ditch the "USB sound card" and instead use a really good USB microphone instead.

- On another idea ... if a USB/Internal sound card (wouldn't really recommend using the rather lousy on-board audio codecs of Laptops/Netbooks/Motherboards) is a way to go ... use the line-out of your Amps to connect to the sound card for recording.

The advantage is that you can record in WAV/FLAC format and edit your recordings without losing quality as you only need to convert to MP3 once your post-edits are done.

Curious to hear from people who have rooted. Are you still going back to B&N screen and using it as it was originally intended (as a reader for B&N content), or, mostly as a modified android device?

I did not register mine before rooting so all B&N functions are disabled or inaccessible. Wondering if it's worth the trouble to reset and reroot and register it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] howcansheslap:
I use it like an android tablet. There's not a single vestige of B&N left on mine :)

Luckily, the books I own are from the kindle app store so I didn't have to fumble with getting the B&N reader installed after debloating.

BTW, I'm curious what browser most people are using. I'm using opera mobile.

I would, however, like to be able to download free books, library books and maybe a magazine subscription or two.
