[HTC EVO 3D] cobraboy85:
No problem man it’s not like we can’t understand what you are trying to do, we all get sucked into the “moAr overclockzzz” addiction. Lol.

Let me see if I can help you have some perspective here, though. What do you do with your device that requires you to overclock that high?? I mean really you would never see the real time difference from being at like 1.5 GHz and 1.9… all you are doing is wasting your battery and putting a lot of stress on your hardware. I mean at that point you are at 30% MORE than what qualcom deems as the maximum safe processing speed for that chip set. Is it really worth the risk of damaging something when you aren’t really physically seeing the difference with your eyes in performance? Just something to think about.

Also, depending on your ROM/kernel combo, your phone will not respond too well to CPU applications. Some kernels are coded to have total control over the CPU and thus only operate nominally under a “stock” parameter… meaning no extra code in init.d or init.post_boot.sh to change CPU up thresholds, sampling rates, governors, or scaling max/mins. If you are getting constant lag, it is likely that your ROM and kernel are not a very good match because of conflicting code within the ROM and kernel’s design.

As somebody else mentioned, navigate to /etc/init.d and also /etc/init.post_boot.sh and check for any lines of code that have “cpu0” or “cpu1” and delete these lines of code. Reboot and try again. I wouldn’t recommend deleting ALL of the files found in the init.d folder because some of them could be useful to speeding up your ROM such as zipaligning your data/data directory and optimizing RAM. HOWEVER, if your kernel you are flashing is an entire boot.img, and not package that extracts and replaces the kernel (zImage) in your existing boot.img that came with the ROM, then deleting RAM tweaks from init.d would be a good thing because your RAMdisk is found in the boot.img. Also, some kernels are cooked to control your RAMdisk as well, so do a little bit of research and reading about what exactly you are flashing to your phone and make sure you are not causing poor performance by contradicting lines of code throughout your ROM.

Hope that helped a little… good luck.
[Xperia Arc General] Lesiroth:
Hello,

I already have a Galaxy S, and I previously traded it for a MyTouch 4G but the phone I got broke down so I got my SGS back. Now I have a great deal for an Arc S in front of me and I'm not sure if I should go for it? Camera aside, both phones are equal in power, and the GS has a better GPU+Screen. I don't really know how the ROM community for the Arc is, but the Galaxy has a decent one although the CM roms are at an disadvantage due to poor RIL+camera.

I'd appreciate any input!
[Xperia Arc General] Luhccas-X10:
Do you like GPS?

On Arc S it works :p

Just kidding haha ^^

Go for it,will be a very good choice.
[Xperia Arc General] Lesiroth:
Haha, that's true. On the other hand, I'm worried the lack of internal space on the Arc would prove too limiting.
[Xperia Arc General] Luhccas-X10:
It's simple to fix.

Just needs root,make a second partition in EXT3 on you SD Card and use Link2sd to move your apps (free on market)

I don't care about internal space anymore ;)
[Xperia Arc General] Lesiroth:
Oh, that's good to hear. One less thing to worry about. Now for the rest of my worries :)
[Xperia Arc General] blitzkrieg_:
Could u pls post procedure to.do it or may be the link:-) really short of internal mem..
[Xperia Arc General] JazonX:

[Xperia Arc General] Poker gypsy:
I'm the owner of both gs1 and arc gs1 has more of its share of lag sorry arc wins hands down on camera! Gs1 no flash arc wins bigger screen gs wins storage as for speed arc now gs2 arc can't come close gs2 wins hands down and before all the sony lovers say get the gs2! Thanks but I'm getting the gs3
[Xperia Arc General] Luhccas-X10:
For me the amoled screen on Galaxy S s*cks big time...

The colors are unreal,oversaturated and the high contrast kill the shade details. (gray tones specially)

For some games it's simply impossible to see darker areas. (9mm and Dead Space,for example)

Plus,the new Adreno 205 drivers make it on par with PowerVR SGX540. (we will have it on ICS,that Galaxy S will see only with custom ROM's)

That things makes Arc S a lot better than Galaxy S.

And about the camera,seriously...

The one who think that thing on Galaxy S is better than the camera on Arc/Arc S,you need new glasses.

The time is "over" for old big Samsung boy.

Still a nice phone but you can just compare with Arc S making a lot of tweaks on it.
[Xperia Arc General] taaviu:
Samsung battery is "piece if sh*t"

Sorry but that is my personal opinion!

Taavi
[Xperia Arc General] doministry:
For me not really comparable.
[Xperia Arc General] Flo95:
Samsung phones have way too greenish displays.
[Xperia Arc General] Lesiroth:
Thanks for the info guys, I'll go for it.
[Xperia Arc General] doomed151:
Again, the arc / arc S gets REAL Ice Cream Sandwich, not some Value Pack :p
[Xperia Arc General] kickerz14:
Haha I love this one! Oh and looks like samsung will also drop the samsung pack? Correct me if I'm wrong. :p
[Xperia Arc General] Flo95:
Not for the Galaxy S
[Xperia Arc General] Lesiroth:
That is unfortunately true.
[Xperia Arc General] squalldua:
and when that happens (end of april ~ early may), we will look back at this thread, and ROFL :D
[Xperia Arc General] Lesiroth:
What exactly do you mean by "Smooth Interface" and "No lags in Google Maps"? Does the Arc/S lag with Google Maps? Does it have a slower interface?
[Xperia Arc General] bas-r:
I just did it.

Steps to take:

MAKE BACKUPS

Create primary ext3 partition on sd-card, as a second one to the default fat32 partition (for instance with this Windows tool http://download.cnet.com/MiniTool-P...62200.html?part=dl-6285158&subj=dl&tag=button)

Install link2sd from the market

Boot link2sd, then reboot phone

Batch select apps in link2sd, create link. Done :-)

Find the original thread of the creator of the app here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=919326
[Xperia Arc General] RoberM:
What?, i have both and screen is much, MUCH better on the Arc S.

Galaxy S screen has noticeabily less resolution (half sub-pixels), colors are over-saturated and whites are blueish. Seeing one next to the other the fist thing everyone would notice is the much better screen on the ARC.

It doesn't matter if it is AMOLED, HYPERLED or NEXTGENLED, it is simply worse.

The main advantage of the Galaxy S is it's internal memory of 2GB from factory, for all the rest it is inferior to the ARC S.

bas-r, link2sd doesn't work for me the way it sould be, it moves the app and/or dalvik cache to the new ext3 partition on the SD, but it keeps the app on data/app instead of linking it. I read somewere it is because of stock firmware.
[Xperia Arc General] Luhccas-X10:
On data/app folder are the links for the apps on your second partition.

You can see it in linux.

I have it on my Arc and here i get 350+mb of free memory.
[Xperia Arc General] masud7827:
Answer my question, you will get the answer ;)

Do you want Ice Cream Sandwich or Value pack with crappy TouchWiz?
[Xperia Arc General] Beppemi:
I have both of this devices, and i'm agree with all your consideration. The big difference is availability of Mods and Custom Roms/Kernels, but this is important just for me.

Btw i think Arc win this comparation, his sexy design is lovely and the the size of screen is perfect.
[Xperia Arc General] Poker gypsy:
In sorry but comparing the arc with the gs1 not fair. Now compare the gs1 with the x10 and the arc with the gs2! Lol because they came out about the same time!
[Xperia Arc General] darth5zaft:
not really because, the xperia s are build to compete with galaxy nexus n iphone4s

the arc is build in the timelines of nexus s and ip4

galaxy s2 are just weird, it come up in the middle of the yr, too powerfull for 2.3 to little power for 4.0..
[Xperia Arc General] Poker gypsy:
You don't make any sense? Too much power and not enough? Please tell me how is that? Lol
[Xperia Arc General] Flo95:
SGS 2 has enough power for 4.0

It even runs it better than the Galaxy Nexus...
[Xperia Arc General] ArmorD:
Oh come on, think about it before you say. The time of release isn't the thing that matters, it's the price class.
[Xperia Arc General] chiefy009:
I had galaxy s and then had a ray then a nexus s and now an Arc S and I have to say I am happy I have the Arc S

Galaxy s ok but just didn't feel right

Nexus s to big

Ray to small

Arc S love it fast , great camera, good dev support, looks great

Hi to all. I have a little, but no annoying, problem with MiniCM7 and nAa 8 in X10 mini pro. When i have the telephone turned off and i connect the telephone to PC to charge, it start the flash mode and don't charge.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Snow_fox:
You know.. I gotta say, I absolutely love the build quality on this thing.. I was worried about not having a case for it at first..

But, my girlfriend accidentally dropped it like christmas even and that is the only scratch on the thing.. it is a small nearly unable to be noticed scratch on the very bottom right side. And that was onto a brick fireplace by total fluke. (She didn't realize the box wasn't sealed shut and it somehow popped out.)

After having this thing nearly a month, it being in my backpack a few times, my pocket and other places..

I see no scratches dings or anything.. which is pretty impressive. While I have taken pretty darn good care of it.. normally by now you will have something on any given piece of electronic.

Are the HTC phones this good? I'd honestly consider settling for lower specs in the future as long as the build quality was this good... Naturally I have and would use a screen protector but, I must say I am very happy with the current no scratch goodness of my tablet.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Ishman:
Yes, they are built well. I did drop mine from about 3-4 feet and it hit a corner in a case on a hard floor and the LCD went bad. I replaced it and all is well.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] abhaxus:
I dropped mine down a crack on a sleeper sofa and it put a nice gouge on the side of the tablet, but otherwise it's pretty good. Got a little nick on the screen as well. But otherwise, it certainly feels like a premium device.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] AidenM:
Dropped mine screen first on a parking lot. Only a corner was scratched.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Scoh:
HTC is the best. I can't believe the majority of people think Iphones in the same league. You can't even mount it as a flash drive for christ sakes, you have to go through Itunes, after you have to update it every week or it doesn't work lol.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mmmatches:
I'll probably get thrown off the forums for admitting this, but I'm an iPhone / Mac user and the View has really impressed me in terms of build quality. HTC's software "improvements", on the other hand... :/

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mohitster:
you should still get the screen protector as its screen is not a gorilla glass.....more so if you are using pen a lot.....you will get the scratch sooner than later bro! and there are quite a few clear screen protectors around, so grab one!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] dsf3g:
Absolutely get a screen protector. They also help reduce glare (if you go with a matte one) which is a real problem with this tablet if you like to watch movies.

I had a screen protector on my Nook Color also, and just before I sold it I put a deep gouge into it by pushing too hard on a cheap capacitive pen. Thanks to my screen protector I was able to sell the Nook with a clean screen, rather than one with a deep gash.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
I have a screen protector, but no case on my Flyer. The powder coat aluminum casing seems really durable, and I've been really impressed with it. I've owned it since June I think. I can't seen any scratching on it, despite being laid on tables constantly.

My Desire Z phone has a brushed aluminum battery cover on back, which has a lot of superficial scratches. But the soft touch plastic around it does not show scratches. Every HTC phone is a bit different (a few too many different design, some might say). But in general, they have the highest quality casing design in the business, IMO.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Snow_fox:
Yeah, I can't count how many times I've set my tab on a table and I feel something scraping the bottom that I didn't see when I looked at the table..

Scared the crap out of me the first few times.. I am quite pleased to have no scratches from it yet.

also, I have a screen protector on my flyer.. Found a cheapo zagg at bestbuy.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] the_main_app:
Tottaly agree. I really like the build quality of the HTC Flyer. The HTC Flyer is my first permanet tablet. I started with a Samsung 8.9 but it went back to the store.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] leo321:
It depends, are you using 2.2.1 or 2.3.6? Best bet to get started is the hemidall kj6. Find it in our development section. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] finch8423:
It's important to make sure that if you want to go to gingerbread from froyo, that you have the correct bootloaders installed. Don't use Rom Manager. Period. Don't Install CWM from Rom Manager. There is a sticky about it, but everyone seems to ignore it.

This is the thread I have used a few times, and it will get you to Gingerbread with CWM which will allow you to install other gingerbread roms:

After that you can flash the lagfix 2.3.6 KJ6 Kernel (which is great):

Thank you so much i am familiar with odin so thats the program ill stick with.

Currantly im on froyo 2.2.1.

As i have just taken my first baby step with this phone by buying and rooting it today i will continue to absorb all the info i can ....slowly
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Shortbus-Driver:
Am i understanding this right? That you can odin a odin specific rom right to the device ?

Im just not catching on to the bootloaders flashing....im understanding its not like with the vibrant so im getting a lil confused....im still hashing it out in my head that this aint a vibrant lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Yes, you can. However, you have to be careful. If you're going from Froyo to GB (and I think vice-versa) you have to insure the ROM you're flashing has the right boot loaders. Else you could end up with the infamous "rainbow screen" or stuck in a boot loop.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Shortbus-Driver:
But thats fixable correct?.....

What im getting at .....is im guessin this phone is near unbrickable like the vibrant.....correct?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] finch8423:
You can break any phone. Some errors may delete your CWM, which means that you will have to re-flash from Odin, or a similar program. However, if you are careful, and read every instruction properly, then you should be fine. It seems ridiculous at first, especially coming from a Nexus One, but it honestly is a really simple process.

Ok cool i was just checkin to make sure my suspicions were correct :-)

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Jay4255:
I'm sorry, but I don't see the point of this. It doesn't increase internal storage, all it's doing is creating a virtual 2nd sdcard that's stored on the "sdcard". So as you fill up the virtual sdcard, the data.img which it is mapped to is going to grow. The data.img is stored on the "sdcard" and the bigger it gets, the less free space there will be on the "sdcard". Just using the free space of the "sdcard" to create a virtual sdcard.
