Ok so wen I turn on wifi tether it also turns on the built in wifi and then returns it off.

When it does that, built in hotspot and wifi say error. Can anyone show me alternative wifi tether apps?
[Xperia Play General] Cl8rs:
I am assuming you are using Wireless Tether.

Ya, it doesn't work very well. I am using Barnacle Wifi Tether, it broadcasts ad-hoc :( but it works :)
[Xperia Play General] Captainfrost:
Fortunately I also use barnacle but it doesn't work with ps3

I'm now running EL30 on MTD with my custom ROM!
[Epic 4G General] TexasLTE:
and U R gonna share that ..... when ? LOL
[Epic 4G General] HODriver:
I just mixed together the first test now. Right now it's a HUGE rom Taking up 281MB of System Space, and I'm having problems with Titanium Backup not seeing the system as rooted, even if Super User is giving it permission. I'm still a very new rookie at cooking a ROM.

I do want to thank earthbound, his Seppuku MTD TW Kernel is awesome!

Now I need to make this quick microwave batch of EL30 Gingerbread taste like oven fresh.
[Epic 4G General] Tomcat5:
Well if you do manage to get a stock MTD version of EL30 working I'm sure many people here would love to get in on it.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
We are all anxious to see it. Good luck nailing it all down.
[Epic 4G General] HODriver:
OK, so I'm deleting some of the programs I don't like out of the stock programs to take out some fat. I'm also going to try taking Titanium Backup out of the system apps to see if that helps with it's root issue. Android terminal emulator is switching ok to the proper SU # prompt when I command SU in the terminal.
[Epic 4G General] HODriver:
Update for those curious

I was able to get the size of the ROM down to about 235MB System, far better then it was.

As for the root issue, I realized that it's not the fault of Titanium Backup, but all my root programs could not recognize successful rooting (Set CPU, ES File Explorer, etc) and my version of SU kept reporting an outdated version (2.xx versus the 3.07 I have on my EI22 ROM), which is strange because I used the same Super User apk file from my EI22 ROM.

Sadly, I don't know enough about the intricacies of the root settings between Kernel, and ROM Versions to be able to solve the issues. I suspect there was something to do with my use of Earthbound's EI22 Kernel with the EL30 ROM Files, but I can't find the problem.

By what I saw from late night testing, there were two problems:

The root issues

GPS Lock Issues (Couldn't try changing the permissions because I didn't have root permissions.

I apologize for my failures at fixing the problems for a good release.
[Epic 4G General] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Come back when it is using the el30 kernel. The old convert process still works...

Do you know of any good sites where I can learn actual kernel development on windows?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Shaitan056:
After updating with ICS 4.0.3 thee is no application in-built for CAMERA . . .:D

And also wi-fi is not working . so replay solution ..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] obsidian_eclipse:
There isnt a solution yet. The ROM is in development and it might take some time before its ready, i'd check back in about a month.

There are other really good gingerbread based ROMs though. I'm back on ArcMini, its working brilliantly.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Tommylee567:
First of all, it is mentioned by the thread owner who released ics 4.0.3 that there will be bugs and problems and this is not the final product. then why are you downloading and complaining about it? please wait for the final rom or just keep quiet.

Im sorry to say that but you should have read the whole topic before you flashed to ics. Did you read that in the first place?

MiniCM7Pro V21

Hi guys!

I have installed MiniCM7Pro_V21 on my x10 mini pro and i have a question?

The buttons on my phone does not look like the picture on the forumsite for MiniCM7Pro. (Can´t post link to picture because this is my first post...)

I still looks like the SE buttons, you know with four optional buttons in the corners. It does not help if I change theame.

Do i need to change framework somehow or what do i do?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Ticklefish:
Really you should post this in the Q&A section but, since I'm here..

It sounds like you're using the SE launcher. Launchers are the apps that you can access the app drawer from, see your widgets on, set wallpapers for, etc.

Have a look on the Market for an alternative, there are several out there. Or use ADW, which comes already with your rom. If you press the Home button and it doesn't ask you to choose between two different launchers, that means you've already selected the SE one)

Head into your settings app, then:

"Application Settings"

"Manage Applications"

Choose "All" from the four options near the top of the screen.

Scroll down and press on "Sony Ericsson Home".

Press on "Clear Defaults".

Back out of the app and press the Home button.

This will give you the option to use the SE launcher or ADW. Select ADW and...there you go!
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] bangalorerohan:
First, Make a new folder.

In that you put a META-INF copied from some Theme.

And, Make the folders where you want your apps and tweaks to be placed.

Like you may want some apps to go to /system/app...So, Create a folder called system and inside that create a folder called App and paste the application there.

Now, Changes in updater script.

On an ext4 system, I did this.

Remvoe eevrything in the updater-script. Delete eveything.

Now, add these lines

run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "-t", "auto", "/dev/block/stl9", "/system");
mount("ext4", "system", "/system");

Meaning of the code:

This mounts the system, grants root permission.

Now that system is mounted, We should tell CWM to copy the folder and replace the contents. So, Add these lines:

package_extract_dir("system", "/system");

Now, Replace the name of the folder you wanna replace and make multiple lines in the same format. (replace in package_extract_dir("yourfoldername","/yourfoldername")

For prinitng the process, add

ui_print("Installing -NAMEOFYOURROM-PATCH...");

Add this above the extract COMMAND.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] bangalorerohan:
Now, Put this into a Zip...Using Win-zip.

When you open the zip you should see META-INF and other folders.

Zip it in that manner.

And, Download Auto-Sign from this place.

Re-name the zip to UPDATE and put it in the autozip folder.

Sign it and you are done!

PRESS THE THANKS...GIVES ME ENCOURAGEMENT. PLEASE.

[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Aspire:
If i wanna replace some apps in /system/apps, i add the following code?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] opentoe:
When you have a program open, example is a video player. When I hit the home button does that program really fully close? Why I ask this is because I'll open up a web browser and input a web page. Before the web page even fully loads I'll hit the home button. Then even after a few minutes I'll load up that same browser and that page that didn't fully load will be there loaded up. I just want to make sure that when I close a program, it really is closed. That's all.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Tech Faded:
Hitting home does not "Close" or quit the program it rather puts it in the back round to fully quit it you must hit the recent apps button (Third on the left) and swipe the app away or get a task manager for those pesky back round apps. :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Actually swiping apps away from recent list doesn't really close the apps. It just removes them off the recent list. Only a task manager can do that or going into settings, then apps, then force stopping it. But really,Android manages the memory very well itself. Alot of times, the way Android works, manually stopping a program will be more harm than good. Most of the time Android will just pull it back up itself therefore causing more CPU usage for that task tl bring it back. ANDROID keeps some apps semi-loaded. Ones it feels with load faster once you launch it since its already partially loaded. ANDROID is not like a PC where the processes in background will automatically slowbthings down or drain battery faster. Only certain apps that truly run in background can have that effect if too many loaded up. Whatever you do, don't use any auto memory killers or auto task managers or battery saver apps like juice defender, etc... those do more harm than good.

Unless your tablet is running with alot of lag, just try to ignore or resist the urge to keep constantly killing apps or whatever. You will see Android itself does a great job at managing it and will free up memory when actually needed. I'm still trying to do the same also resisting the urge. I just use Asus built in Task manger widget to see what's running in the background. If something clearly not needed then ill kill it. Beware though not to kill system apps or you might cause them to crash or be unstable.

A good app I came across is called BetterBatteryStats. Made by an xda member. Just type name of app in search box here in forum. That app will let you see what's truly running in the background and using up most battery or CPU processes. Has some great tips in there also in help section. IT LET me see how the Google currents app, although I wasn't using it, kept running in the background and using up processes and adding to battery drain. I would always see it pop up in my task manager although I never opened it and I have the refresh data set to long intervals. So it's basically a rouge app..lol. I uninstalled that mofo. Its a great app but runs to much in background regardless of data refresh settings and sometimes doesn't allow prime to stay in deep sleep when screen is off. Partial wakelocks, kernel wakelocks, etc...are all things you have to look over when determining what apps are causing most battery drainage or not allowing prime tl stay in deep sleep. Because they will partial wakelock n get data or whatever. It gets technical..lol learned alot from that one app. Free here in xda forums .
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Tech Faded:
I was under the assumption that ICS fixed that? I suppose I was mistaken I apologize for my misunderstanding. :o
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] timgt:
Demandarin, what makes you think swiping doesn't close a program? It does and its very obvious it works, just swipe then open the same program and you will see it starts over and will not be where you left off.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] atgmartin:
Try Settings > Developer Options > Don't Keep Activities. Sounds like it will fully close tasks once they are closed.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] almightywhacko:
This is a very bad setting to enable if you ever have to switch back and forth between two different activities (for example email & web browsing). In general you should just leave the developer options alone.

As for closing apps.. why does it matter?

Apps that are not actively running don't use CPU and therefore don't use battery. Some apps sync information in the background, such as weather apps and email and while they do this battery is being used, however you can optimize the frequency of the updating to preserve as much battery life as possible.

In general unless you have experiencing performance issues, let Android manage itself.

If you absolutely need to turn off running apps, use the Asus Task Manager widget that comes pre-loaded on your tablet. You can use the Asus Task Manager to kill individual apps or all apps with a single click.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] CW927:
ON ICS, the swipe does stop the task running in the background, but I've seen where it the app may begin again, but as a background activity as almightywhacko describes.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Buff McBigstuff:
People don't understand. Apps DON'T "run" in the background. They only run when you interact with them.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] UmbraeSoulsbane:
Well, it depends. Apps don't run in the background like they do in windows, but some apps do continue to run processes in the background like data syncing and what not. However, it the app doesn't do this stuff then it only holds its state.

Also, I have not seen swiping recent apps closing apps. I think it is just happenstance if an app is closed by swiping it off the recent apps. Looking at the logging and monitoring the app state I have seen no correlation between running/not running apps and the recent app list.

However, as other people said, manually closing apps in Android will most likely reduce your performance rather than do anything beneficial.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] susko:
I always get mad at those stupid apps that pretend to be providing a service. They won't go away. even if kill them they just come back(like Kenny). The app that likes to bother me the most is Zen pinball. I really like the game but it is always popping up prompting me to enable openfeint which I had already signed up for. I press enable but it still does not go away.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Buff McBigstuff:
Only if they spawn a service. As far as activities, which most people would consider to be the "app" part, those do not run in the background. It just sits until it gets killed or used.

Fastboot flash recovery "your recovery file name"

[Samsung Captivate Glide] fatxdad:
I got a package with 2 protectors. Also included are a quite nice microfiber cloth and a mounting utility made from card. It's smoother than using an credit card. The protectors are antiglare.

The touchscreen works perfect the display looks a little bit granular with the protector.

The mounting wasn't to easy because the fitting is not perfect the protector should be 1mm wider and taller. To get it centered on the screen was not so easy for me, but I am not very good in those things :-D. I also had the problem with small dirt in the air fitting to the display before getting the protector fixed. But I think other people are more talented with this. :-)

The fitting is very good not to weak not to strong.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Lookin4Trouble:
I picked up a matte screen protector from HHI - if I'd been paying attention I couldve saved myself $8, though - I've put a matte screen protector on every smartphone I've ever used, and this one definitely needed it. Problem is, I _always_ end up pulling the first one off and using a second one because the first one seems to catch all the dust and pet hair in the immediate vicinity while you apply it. So I've ended up ordering a 3-pack like I meant to the first time around. Haven't really tested the capabilities of the HHI protector, but it does seem to do the job, was easy to pull and re-apply to get some of the minute dust out from underneath, but has a very good hold until you intentionally pull a corner. Definitely 4.5/5 material so far. Came with a microfiber cloth and a stylus that has a little nub that fits in the earphone jack which I'll never use.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Wnivre:
These matte, anti-glare protectors are the best because they null out the 'stickiness' that is part of every glass screen; makes typing with the touchscreen much much easier.

I can't comment about whether applying it is easy due to that it was the store clerk himself that applied it for us (did an excellent job i'd say,,, perfectly aligned, no bubbles, no dust whatsoever.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] sbiricuda:
What about getting a screen protector for a different device?

Is there a different device whose front is identical to the one of Captivate Glide?

Hiya all,

Well, now that we have CWM and could mess around with the phone with ease, is it possible for someone with the knowledge to try and get someone kind of notification indicator working on this phone? It could either be a Mod or an app, either one will be great, but while we wait for great ROMs coming out, maybe someone can work on this? I know we don't have any indicator LED on the phone, so maybe we can work on using the softkey LEDs to indicate things like missed calls, incoming texts or IMs or emails, etc. It will be great if it's customizable but let's just start with getting it to work with the notifications.

Thanks in advance :)

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ricard2798:
ok, here it goes. today my local best buy got some primes in stock. I decided to exchange mine in hopes i would get less light bleed and better wifi.

well, good news, i only got 1 very slight light bleed in a corner (decent improvement from my previous 3 spots), the bad news was that i was getting the same reading from wifi bars... and about the same reading from wifi meter.... but something really odd happenend.

when running speedtest, i was getting higher dowload speeds and better performance!!!

So i a wondering if the real issue with the primes lackluster wifi performance has more to do than jsut simply bad reception. Maybe there is an internal component that receives th data that might be bottlenecking on some primes and maybe not in others.

i am no scientist.... but i am getting t least 3 times the download speed results than before. video streaming performance in improved consistently.... yet the signal readins are the same.

hope this helps...or else just bring the flames :P

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mike infinity:
I never pay much attention to the number of bars. My laptop at 1 bar will often score the same on speedtest at full bars. Speed test and streaming tests are the way to go.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ricard2798:
agree totally that streaming and speed tests are essential.

Also, in regards to the backplate... i think everybody knows that by now.... the point i a stating is that 2 different prime units (both with aluminum backplates) yielded diff speed results under the SAME test conditions. just saying.

ill just write it down as my initial unit had broken wifi
