On Steve Garon's kernel the flicker isn't noticeable at all when brightness is set anywhere higher than lowest brightness. Even when on lowest brightness settings, the flicker is less noticeable when compared to the other kernels I've used.

The trade-off though for this is voodoo colors not being able to be tweaked. Although, the kernel includes tweaked color settings that get rid of the stock warm coloring.

Hopefully this will get fixed in the next version of ics because although it is a small issue, I like perfection ;)
[Nexus S General] Deleted member 3572053:
I want to say its a driver issue. But I'm not sure. My brother and I both have stock unrooted on i9020T's and it happens to us. I was reading on the cyanogenmod blog that Google made ics so different that they need to rewrite all the drivers. Whether that's the case for this bug is just my hunch.
[Nexus S General] Klownicle:
I've noticed this also, not sure about the stock kernal. Im using matrix 15.5 I believe. Must have... perfection...

So as ive read it there is no fix currently. Does this happen on the stock kernal? Or other kernals?

Edit: Setting back gamma to 2.3.3 seems to have solved this if nothing is running in the background when you lock. IE; Live Wallpaper/Application Sitting on Screen when Locking. If its just straight basic wallpaper. Its ok.

The only Rom I've seen that doesn't have the screen flicker is Pete's nightly 31 I guess he fixed it I've flashed more than 10 different Roms & all had screen flicker but not Pete's nightly 31!!!;)

New rumors suggest that RIM might be looking for an outright sale to Samsung.

The news comes after the rumors that RIM might licence Blackberry 10 OS to HTC or Samsusng.

Could this mean that one day we might see BBM on Android?

I agree with you about BlackBerry OS being outdated. But this is about BlackBerry 10 OS a.k.a QNX for phones. And QNX is much better than current version of BlackBerry.

Still not better than Android, the main point was it would be nice to have an option for BBM on Android.
[Xoom General] Navrig:
I have a wifi only XOOM. I have an app for Lotus Notes Traveler installed and it is working fine. I would like to look at integrating all my email accounts including the Notes account such that I only have to use one app for email and one app for calendar.

I'm happy to use the stock Email app or install a new app.

Any suggestions?
[Xoom General] OracleBlue:
Traveler is intended to utilize it's own email and calendar client on the Android platform for a matter of security. The manufacturer believes that is the only way to insure the content remains secure.
[Xoom General] Navrig:
Thanks for your prompt reply.

Some how my colleague has his email and calendar integrated on his i-Pad.

Wonder why the difference.
[Xoom General] OracleBlue:
IBM's internal implementation of Traveler on the iOS platform is different than for Android. It does support a VPN and combines the different email and I believe calendar accounts into one app.

Hello,

I've been lurking around here for a while now... reading and learning.

I started playing with ROMs for my SGSII a few weeks ago. I've successfully created and restored nandroid backups of my daily driver(rooted stock ROM) many times. I also backed up unnamed ROM once and it restores fine too.

MY PROBLEM:

I have 2 different Nandroids of two different nightlies of CM7 and neither of them will restore. Both give an MD5 sum error. How can i Nandroid backup CM7 and and restore it correctly?

Thanks!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] frankos72:
Oh boy that was quite a ride. For some reason when I restored the bu after using adb to fix the md5 sums I went into a reboot loop that would cross the sgs2 splash.

I had to reflash the stock plus root with odin and then a UN New kernel with cwm so I could get back to my DD. That was a bit scary just hours ahead of the SOPA blackout.

So, is there some reason that only cm7 roms are having a bad md5 sum? I really wanted to work on making cm7 My dd, but that won't be possible if I can't count on it too backup and restore reliably.

Got any tips?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RockRatt:
You can either flash the same nightly you were on, let it reboot, then exit back out to recovery and restore your nandroid backup.

Here is another option to try. Flash the kernel zip I am attaching here: http://db.tt/wlfhSfag in cwm, then go and restore your nandroid backup. The file I am linking is JUST the kernel for CM7.

The reason you are having the issue is due to the OTHER roms using a different version/ version number of CWM. So once you flash the kernel and MAYBE try to boot it up( it will be stuck on the cyanogenmod boot screen), then 3 button back into recovery, now you will have a different version of CWM, which should allow you to restore your nandroid now.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] moustro:
^^^RockRatt definitley knows what he is talking about when it comes to cm7. I have never had an issue going from asop to Samsung based roms restoring from a backup. I read somewhere on here that if you rename your backups and you put a space in the name that this will cause issues with the md5 sum match. Did you happen to do this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] frankos72:
Thank You! I haven't tried it but my gut says that you are spot on. I figured it was something like that because I had read about how entropy's DD kernel is for stock based roms and doesn't work with CM7. I just didn't really know what to do about it. I'm going to try the flash a CM7 kernel then restore and I'll report back my results.

Nope I read that and haven't renamed any of my backup..... yet. It's good to know just in case I ever do rename them. Thanks!

I need to copy some extensive chat data files from Skype on my Android SGS1... before I flash new firmware. Even Googling can't point me in any sort of direction or filepath! Where the heck, rooted or unrooted, will i find these data files and specifically chat?

Thanks guys:mad::mad:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whitest:
as far as I know, Skype Chat-data is on their servers, so unreachable for you. you should be able to flash and still have your chats - though I noticed that if you log on Pc there's a different chat history than on the smartphone... maybe they store it extra for the skype app?

I can not guarantee for the things I wrote - but I think it's just that way.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peterg123:
Hi, well on a PC Sype files are kept on the PC itself and never on Skype..the reason the chats may differ between a PC and Andrpoid device is, you had one on and not the other, so they did not syncy. So I really fear fklashing as these chat records are very very valuable indeed and I can't afford to lose them! Thanks, but any other ideas out there?

Hi Guys,

I Have a big problem with deleting the system tray icons in WM6.5.

I've read plenty forums and know these (but haven't worked for me yet!!!)

In the Windows Mobile 5.0 all you needed to do was removeutility and the Tray_init.lnk from the /Windows/startup directory.

In the Windows Mobile 6.0 delete this string from registry

\HKLM\init\Launch92 string value Trayap.exe

but the problem is here that i haven't such directory in registry.

So Who can Solve This Problem WM6.5?!? :)

Ps. \HKLM\init\Launch92 string value in my phone is relating to TimeWizard.exe and no other string has Trayap.exe to delete it...

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Technology-:
So I have an HTC Hero CDMA with Cyanogen Mod 7 rom in it. The rom improved my phone speed but I I have a few questions on how I cold fix the lag that occurs when playing high end games like Angry Birds or other games like that. Whenever I play a high end game, I experience lag, which makes it almost impossible to enjoy playing the game; so I'm wondering if anyone knows on how to fix the lag that occurs when playing a high end game.

Also is there a way to play HQ videos on youtube? I already downloaded the new youtube app when I flashed Cyanogen Mod 7 on my phone but when I try to play a HQ video, the video keeps playing the audio but not the video itself, so again, is there anyway to fix this?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SoCalNewb:
Article link HERE

Abstract:

"Verizon Wireless has come under fire for blocking the mobile payment app, Google Wallet, from the keystone of its newly-released product line. Samsung’s Galaxy Nexus, which was developed in partnership with Google, was released last week after delays and speculation over whether or not Verizon would ship the phone with Google Wallet functionality. Ship it did, absent the app - and it seems that in doing so Verizon may have violated its open-devices and open-applications conditions in its legal licenses for the 700MHz spectrum - the spectrum that operates its LTE network. An open letter to the FCC was promptly dispatched by Barbara van Schewick, a professor at Stanford Law School and Director of the Center for Internet & Society."

Comments welcome.

p.s. As a preemptive strike against those that can't wait to say "Duplicate thread - do a search newb!", I did a search for "Wallet" in the GN forum (link HERE), and saw nothing matching this.

From the Application Settings -> Running Services

P970 report

RAM Used = 163MB

Free = 210MB

"Quick System Information" on another hand report

RAM Total: 488MB

Free: 83MB

Can anyone suggest which one to trust? Why the discrepancy?

I've install Redy's V20N ROOTED ROM and has playing around for the last couple of days...

It seems to be very RAM hungry, this applied to the V20N unroot version too.

I thought Gingerbread is very efficient with system resources.

Quite disappointing so far.
[LG Optimus Black] Mick2K:
Gingerbread is very efficient with system resources.

85mb of free Ram is more then enough i think. As long as you don't need more free Ram, Android keeps recently opened Apps in cache for faster loading if you need them again. Whenn you open a new App which needed more free Ram, Android kills open Tasks that run in background in a specific order i can not exactly Explain.

At least that's what i know! ;)

I think Android reported the Ram that could be used when needed and "Quick System Information"

reports the actuall real free ram.

If I'm wrong someone please let me know.
[LG Optimus Black] lesp4ul:
Some app don't detect cached process so the results may be different. So trust the one came with OS, in setting > application > running services.

You will see total amount isn't exactly 512MB. Don't worry because it's hidden for system protected process. If you're using task killer the total amount will still that amount.

I agree 2.3.x is very smart in memory management. Just like Windows 7.
[LG Optimus Black] BoyBawang2:
Not a problem with me. My previous phone Moto Milestone used to have only 45mb free RAM
[LG Optimus Black] fongnd:
I may contradict myself on another topic when I said that I feel the efficiency of gingerbread when upgrade from V10D to V20N redy-ROOT.

But after thorough usage from yesterday/today + take out alot of the bloatware, still quite lagging.

I am not doubting GB, but maybe this ROM V20N hasn't fully optimize with GB?

Just disappointing personally, I was under the impression that after the long awful wait this will proof worthwhile after all.

Yes i also reverted back to v10g india bcos rooted v20n is very rom hungry:-( its a nightmare to play hd games on v20n ex. Asphalt6.

Hi there, I own a Samsung Omnia 7 and a LG Optimus 7 and I'd like to enable the bluetooth sms reading feature while the phone is in muted or vibration mode. Why does the telephone reads the texts only while its sounds are enabled?

Please help me, I'd love a registry tweak to do the trick! :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
A) Probably belongs in the Questions forum, or at worst in the Registry Tweaks thread. This question really doesn't deserve it's own thread.

B) One of the (many) failures of using a single volume control for everything except calls, I suspect. It probably assumes that if you wanted the phone muted, it's because you deidn't want it to make sounds (such as talking). Crazy, right?

C) It's possible that a registry tweak will allow this feature to disregard the master volume control, but I doubt it. More likely would be a registry tweak that allows controlling the volume of this feature, but it would probably be modified again by the master control (and thus muted).
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] asbesto:

If you've rooted, yeah you might be able to do that. I think you'd need to root to access the system files (not sure, don't know about phones just thinking logically) and then it should be possible.

Rooted - File Explorer - System mount - delete those Files with the ending widget.

U must go into its settings and allow root explorer and mount, to be able to do this. Also try wiping your dalvik cache in cwm.
