[HTC Amaze 4G] heyodee:
it is pretty light on battery. pdroid is better with battery from the looks of it. Wake lock is not part of the supported permission for both apps. lbe privacy supports firewall. for gtalk, sign out when not using it. for g+, uncheck it from sync. for Google voice, ... dunno yet

pdroid allows you to set permission of system apps
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
I've turned off sync on g+ and voice, signed out of gtalk.. but I'm trying to eliminate any wakelocks on these apps I rarely or never use. The biggest wakelock every time is the alarm sys, if I do a "dumpsys alarm > alarm.txt" in terminal, many of these apps are still keeping the phone from sleeping right..

Ultimately, I am probably trying to beat a dead horse, I got things tweaked to the point I'll never really have to worry about killing my battery in a day, but it seems like one of the features of us android users(or maybe it is xda users).. we want TOTAL control over what our phones do and don't do, lol.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jjane45:
LBE was heavy on my battery and Permissions Denied's interface is not intuitive enough.

I'd like to give PDroid a try but which patch to use for HTC Amaze? (beastmod 2.2.0)
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
I've been using LBE since it was recommended to me.. and even though I don't see any wakelocks caused by it, and IT reduced the wakelocks other apps on the phone would cause, by battery life has degraded majorly. It is a cool app, but rather than get 24+ hours on a light use day, I have been getting at most 14 with barely any use. It may be because I have it monitoring my data use, so I may continue using it after I turn off monitoring to see if that is the draining part.

To answer your question, based on how I read the thread.. one of the downloads in the thread is used to CREATE the patch(and remover) which you can then flash and/or share with others.

PDroid is the only one I haven't tried yet, so think I'm gonna remove LBE and give it a try. One of these apps will surely give me control over these other apps, without being a bigger pain than those other apps.
[HTC Amaze 4G] blueblade:
Did you give PDroid a try and have any success with the Amaze?

If so, it would be great to share the patch.

I've been using LBE, avoiding the re-flash to deodex / Zipalign, for now, and it seems like its pretty good / handles system apps pretty well but I'd think about running both in tandem to cover what each doesn't do. Hmm
[Optimus One, P500, V General] soberspine:
Hi,

I use a customized ROM and many stock app are removed.

What I want to do is to move some app that are installed in the user internal memory partition to the system internal partition.

What I couldn't find is how big is the internal system partition and how much free space there is.

So does anyone know how to see the size of the system partition and how much free space there is?

thanks
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetnsour:
I believe it is 190 mb. The amount of free space depends on what you currently have in that partition.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] cure25:
U can check how much free space is there in system rom with titanium backup
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vlt96:
Our phone is amazingly weird:

200MB internal memory

512MB ROM memory!(I know, I was surprized too, but just take a look at anything except /data and /cache, this is what takes 450MB...

Nexus One sucks at ROM memory, it only has 170MB, this is why ROMs on it have 50MB.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] soberspine:
thanks for the answers!

how much free space should I keep on /system ?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Ianis G. Vasilev:
It's reccomended to keep partitions 15% empty to prevent serious fragmentation and to ease up defragmentation. By the way, with a HUGE risk of bricking your phone, you can resize the partitions. But I'd reccomend *2sd, I think the best ones are Darktremor A2SD or S2E. Ungaze's D2SD+ works perfectly and boosts the benchmarks to maximum, but it's a real pain when it comes to reinstalling ROMs with it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PurpleSh4rk:
I know there had been one person who was thinking about offering custom back plates to people, but it ended up being too expensive.

I just got my Prime yesterday and my Prime cannot even lock onto a satellite even when it is outdoors so I understand the pain everyone feels from this problem. It bothers me that the solution to this problem is quite simple, and yet very risky because no one wants to take apart their brand new Prime.

I would like to develop an affordable method to fix the antenna problems. But before I decide to take apart my Prime I want to make sure there would be enough interest because some people don't mind the GPS problems and others really want it to work like me.

If there is enough interest I will probably keep my Transformer Prime and start working on a solution. If not, I will probably return my Prime.

If you are interested simply submit your response in the poll. Also, I want to gauge what sort of money you guys would be willing to spend to have your back plates modified.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] redpoint13:
No...................
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Phoneguy589:
What would be awesome is a back cover that allowed larger batteries but not sure if they make the same batteries but larger mah's.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
Look at it this way, in a couple of months there will be a solution that delivers great GPS, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth performance for $100 without voiding your warranty. It's called the TF700. You get an HD display included for that extra $100 also.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
no guarantee or official tests done yet to say T-700 will have superior wireless performance. Remember the backplate is still all metal only with thin strip up top being plastic. so its still prone to interference from backplate. Any assumptions on wireless performance is clearly just speculation until hard facts come out. you should know this Barry..lol :p
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Caanon:
Being realistic here:

If it was something I had to dremel myself, I wouldn't buy it. I would guess I'm like a decent portion of XDA here when I say I'm not exactly the most precise when it comes to DIY projects.

If it was something I had to send my prime in to do, I'd hesitate quite a bit. No offense or anything, but I'm not comfortable sending my electronics to someone I don't know and have never met. I'd wait a long while for reputation to build up. If it eventually did, I'd pay $20 + shipping, preferably with some kind of deposit.

If I were to send my back panel to someone and have them customize it, I'd be a little hesitant, but more willing than above. If it worked, and really fit perfectly it'd probably be the best of both worlds: my own shiny ASUS metal backing with a plastic strip along the top. I'd pay $35~50 for it.

If it was a full back panel that was plastic instead of aluminum - and fit perfectly with the case, which I would imagine is the hard part since lower tolerances = higher cost - I'd pay $25~40 for it.

Thinking about it, if it were to use the same metal backing for the outside, but simply cut a window out for the antennas (leaving frame in tact to preserve back cover seal), that'd be the ultimate solution.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bpt888:
I'm up for this as long the cover fits properly and looks like a tablet still. Maybe just drilling speaker holes near/around the antenna is enough to let the signal go out.

Shouldn't Asus be doing this themselves? If they are smart enough, they can offer people option to replace the back cover when they get sent back thru RMA. Better yet, they can make some money out of it by designing colored backplates that works and fits properly and sell them for $20-$40.

This way, people have a choice, go aluminum and get bad signal issues or go plastic to get better signals and choose the color to match your style.

Lol, talk about covering your a@s and turning a bug into a feature. Haha. :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
Going to be a Debbie downer..This is going to go no where. It will cost to much. No one - or very few - will want to attempt changing it. Voids warranty. Just not feasible. It will be a lot of hypothetical talk - like the last thread like this - then Peter out. Sorry.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
So, in order to defend the Prime, you're willing to say Asus is totally incompetent and incapable of developing a tablet with GPS, Wi-Fi, and BT that don't require 100's of pages of forum debate? If they were so pleased with the Prime’s design, why wouldn’t they have just slapped an HD display on it and called it good? They’ve said that adding the plastic border was specifically to improve wireless performance. For Asus' sake, I hope they do get wireless right in the TF700.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Red One:
I too would pass on this unless offered by ASUS. They extended the warranty 6 months longer for. All of their screw ups. With all the issues we are having out of the box, imagine if we come to find out that the lifetime of the tablets hardware last only 1 year? You could cry all about it and say you want yours fixed or replaced, but you wouldn't get it.

As with a lot of other things, they tend to break right after the warranty. Asus already had set 1 year for the warranty period. So if the above logic and phenomena takes place, then the fact that Asus extended your warranty for 6 months would all be for nothing.

Why would you want to sacrifice that? You can root and revert to stock. Technically you have voided your warranty, but what they don't know won't hurt. You can't revert to a stock backing... Not easily at least. And probably not without showing signs of tampering.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tedr44:
That's the solution that will make me happy, Asus has already designed the new backplate on the 700 plus the HD screen makes it worth waiting for. It's actually more in line with the tabs announced by the competition so the confidence level is high that Asus will minimize the faults. Past the holidays, they now have plenty of time to correct their mistakes. ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Spartan301:
I say go for it! Like the guy who fabricated the dock, I wouldn't do it or buy it. But you'll get props and be the first person, I know, to do it!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] junrider:
Of course, if you just copy the TF700T back cover your assuming the antennas havent been redesigned, which I believe they have done with the TF700T so the antennas lie directly behind the plastic strip.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
Yes they have because the volume and headphones micro sd slot are all in different locations the only same part us the dock connectors
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Spidey01:
If it was easy to do, well documented, and improved my battery life without damaging my tablet, I would be willing to spend maybe <= $30 on a backplate kit.

WiFi/GPS performance are more than powerful enough for my needs and I'm working in a pretty crappy area to get WiFi. But, I feel that the battery life might be better if I could tune down the TX power and have a more penetrable backplate.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Evo_Shift:
I have never seen it proven that even removing the backplate increases gps results. Anyone have a link where it is proven other than a statement by ASUS? Like maybe a Prime with the back off that is navigating a vehicle without wifi on?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
The fact that rather than adding a HD display to the Prime they've gone to the trouble and expense of redesigning the TF700 sort of confirms in action what Asus has said all along. If by repositioning the antennas and adding a plastic border the TF700 doesn't have wireless issues, that will be your proof. From the tear down, all the Prime's wireless components are of high quality so there would be no reason to change them in the TF700.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clenz:
Not gonna happen. It won't function with the back off based on the tear down pictures.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Blairware:
The Antenna Location issue

Anyone who is not sure where the Antennas are located IN THE PRIME, has either forgotten, or never saw probably the best write up on the subject. This explaination by AnandTech was quoted (and misquoted) widely, but few used the diagrams. Further evidence is in his (seperate) article with a full teardown of a Prime:

http://www.anandtech.com/show/5285/asus-eee-pad-transformer-prime-gps-issue-explained

See attached diagram. I sure Hope that Asus Has NOT moved the antennas. Have you all looked at the diagrams of the diversity WiFi and (single)GPS antennas in the Prime? They are ALREADY under where the plastic strip appears in the TF700T. That was what pissed me off the most, and the fact that it was 3 weeks into the Primes release. Had to take a LITTLE time to conceive, create and fit a new cover, from concept to working

model... say a few weeks? Ittseemed so obvious that it was a direct

response to the GPS issues, and AnandTechs discussion of plastic

covers over antennas, ala Apple.

On the redesigned back panel thing. While this may be a good way for Asus to recover a lot of lost faith and good will, this is no simple thing, and it is not as the OP envisions it. As good as his intentions might be, that back cover is super difficult to remove/replace as the gasket is pretty much all that holds the internals into the metal section. It is part of the Tablets structure, and it is the MAIN part that provides strength, structure, and integrity to the entire package. The other part, the Corning Gorilla Glass that covers the LCD is the other, but contributes substantially less. If you were to create a plastic section, or worse still an all plastic or polycarbonate, the unit would likely be a creaker and a squeaker. Plus, I think just disassembling these breaks the integrity of the unit, and I am not convinced that they can reassemble them as well as the manufacturing line can when they are built. A lot of reports came out of screens moving or being partially detached. Check the threads and see, but I suspect these were units disassembled for Wifi fixes perhaps. All I know is, cosmetically, mine is perfect, and I would be very concerned if it went in for service. Kind of like giving your Aston Martin to the tire guys at Walmart. You know they can do the work, but worry about what respect the hardware will get (usually it's none)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tedr44:
If the 201 backplate is anything similar to the 101, then removing it will be an easy task. And if the backplate can be modified in a shop by cutting a strip off the top, smoothing the rough edges and mating it with a strip of plastic, I think the cost will be affordable. Here's a video of the 101 backplate disassembly using a thin plastic release tool and a phillips screwdriver:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JG9gEYRALtU

However, as pointed out, the fix must first be tested and proven to work on all Primes or at least those with no issues other than weakened rf signals.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wokka00:
If it were totally fubared and/or out of warranty, sure. At the moment, it's on par with my other devices, so it's not worth it just yet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Arun01:
I'm all for the new 700 when it comes out but what about the 1 speaker deal?! Hopefully when the final TF700 is released,it'll come with 2 speakers. I mean i hope they don't overlook this as many people complain about the 1 speaker there.:mad:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] CW927:
No, since if I am using my Prime outside for GPS, I am also tethering from my Galaxy Nexus and can use the GPS off of that.

Besides, I don't want to ruin my Champagne Room edition of the Prime!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jptech:
That is ridiculous. Ask any electronics tech or radio tech. An rf window will work as intended.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jptech:
The wifi chip isn't new, its the bcm-4329 instead of the bcm-4330 like people are saying. Proof is in the bluetooth.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Spidey01:
It is not so kind asbthe OG TF'smbackplate, in that regard, IMHO

Hi. I was using alpha 0 for several days and flashed alpha 0.5 yesterday... Gapps was giving me some trouble so I played around with it and reflashed alpha 0.5

Now both the soft home button and hard home button does not work...

What can I do to fix it?

If reflashing is an easier way... what would be the best way to do it?
[TouchPad General] 7786:
Did you do a full wipe before flashing? If not, wipe and flash.

Ok guys, i purchased this phone yesterday from att for $.1 just so i could get the S2 Skyrocket this friday because i didnt have the cash at the moment lol! Is this phone worth it, should i keep it? or get the S2 Skyrocket...how easy is it to root it and install roms? Whats the best ROM ohh so many questions sorry if i bother but i just want to know. I have an EVO 4G from sprint but im just sick of no 4G and still pay the extra 10

It seems that after flashing the latest build of darky rom that there is no BLN but theres the app for it already installed with the rom, I open it up and it tells me my phone currently doesn't have BLN installed. Bad flash? or am I not the only one.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
the app is an interface to a kernel mod. the infuse doesn't have a gingerbread kernel with bln support. the defuse froyo kernel is the only one and it is a bit buggy so it was never built into gingerbread.
[HTC EVO 3D] w0rdOo:
So someone mentioned in a thread I read that they were on hboot 1.4 with s-off and they were having issues (that aren't important to the topic of this thread) so they used a 2.08 RUU to return to stock, which flashed hboot 1.5 onto their phone. This person said they checked their bootloader and saw that it was indeed hboot 1.5, then they RUU'd back to an older stock ROM and their bootloader was hboot 1.4.

So, was this workaround for being able to Revolutionary unlock an HTC Evo 3D common knowledge before and it's old news now, or had nobody thought of doing this earlier to get rid of hboot 1.5? I was one of the lucky ones who first got my 3vo less than a month ago, yet it came with hboot 1.3 (now it's on the eng bootloader of course :) ). so I'm too afraid of losing my revolutionary root to try this myself, but I figured I'd at least put this out there in its own thread so that all you adventurous types stuck with hboot 1.5 can try this out and report your findings.

NOTE: as stated before, I did not try this myself and the person who said they tried this did not prove it to me or anyone else, they merely stated it and since this is the internet, I go by "pics or it didn't happen" if information comes from an untrusted source. I'm not responsible for bricks and impregnation of your daughter(s), and all that other stuff devs usually claim no responsibility for in their disclaimers.
[HTC EVO 3D] Twolazyg:
You can change the bootloader if you're s-off, you can't if you're s-on
[HTC EVO 3D] w0rdOo:
Does that apply even if you're using an RUU? I knew you couldn't change the bootloader if you tried to flash using fastboot, but I didn't remember seeing anything about not being able to through RUU (though I guess I never saw anything that said you could through RUU either...)
[HTC EVO 3D] t3project:
yes, you will remain s-off
[HTC EVO 3D] w0rdOo:
Well I should've known it was too good to be true, that you could get to an old bootloader through an RUU. Thanks to both of you for the quick and helpful responses.
[HTC EVO 3D] grindnmosh:
sounded like a good idea. would love to get back to hboot 1.40
[HTC EVO 3D] tashsru:
will it work how does it work and if so how do i do it im stuck with a hboot 1.5 im rooted but s on still
[HTC EVO 3D] KB112:
You are stuck with 1.50 with no changes in sight. At present time you can only change hboot if you are S-off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jester199:
So I am having a hard time choosing between my next phone. This is not meant to start a flaming war. When I had AT&T I had a iPhone 4. It was a good phone. It was well polished had very responsive touch and was my most reliable phone. Apple also did a good job of regular updates. Then I switched to Verizon and the droid 2. It was a great carrier switch. My droid 2 was a decent phone. I flashed a few different roms and loved the customization of android even with a locked boot loader. Unfortunately it died a tradgic accident with a car tire. So I developed a love hate relationship with my current phone the droid charge. What an amazing screen. If there was a phone I love to stare at it is this phone. And sometimes that is all I can do is stare at it because it freezes a lot. It also looses its data quite a bit. It has gotten so bad even with trying different roms that I need to switch. I know I am writing this on a GN forum so I am not looking for anyone to recommend the iPhone. What I am looking for is for someone who was on an iPhone to tell me what they like better about the GN. I have read a ton of reviews but I am still torn. Thanks!
