[Motorola Droid RAZR] KineticEntropy:
This is more of a developer question, but I'm too new to post there. I'm looking for a phone with a replaceable TI wifi driver. The RAZR source release looks like it would build it as a module (but I'm not geared up to try it), but I thought I heard somewhere it's a kernel built-in (but I can't seem to find confirmation now). Can anybody confirm which it is?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JPtheSmith:
I believe what you're talking about is the baseband. It's more or less drivers for all the wireless radios in your phone. They're officially distributed OTA by your carrier, and are sometimes compatible with only certain kernel/AOSP revisions.

Manually flashing basebands requires your phone has to be rooted with a custom recovery such as CWR (yes, even if your phone has a stock bootloader that can flash 'update.zip' files: you should never flash without a nandroid backup or equivalent!).

As for making a custom baseband, I have no freaking idea. You're on your own for that one dude. :-)

[Motorola Droid RAZR] JPtheSmith:
Sorry, double post. Forgot to mention something:

Problem with the Razr right now is that the boot loader is still locked down. So no flashing kernels or basebands for now. (Actually, not sure about the basebands....look into it thoroughly, but seriously the XT910 and 912 are awesome devices with so much potential just waiting to be unlocked.....)

[Motorola Droid RAZR] KineticEntropy:
Right, I knew about the locked bootloader preventing kernel replacement. But on many other phones with TI wifi chips the wifi driver is a loadable module (.ko file), which could be replaced. Is there is a .ko for wifi (the usual name is tiwlan_drv.ko but who knows if Moto changed it) in /system/lib/modules or /system/etc/wifi or, well, anywhere? That would be good news.

Does anyone know what the current replacement for this phone is? I'm not sure if I should pay the deductible or buy a different phone on CL.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] williamscathe:
Yeah - the MyTouch by LG. Horrible piece of equipment by comparison - no bigger screen, but no keyboard, no flash on the camera, etc etc. If you make a stink, you can probably get the MyTouch Q, which has the same size screen as the 3G Slide. It's also a bit of a POS if you ask me, but it does have more memory as well as a faster processor, and retains the keyboard, camera flash, and other standard features of the HTC.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DreamManifested:
when i flashed the latest Blazer Pro my phone gets stuck at the samsung boot screen. I noticed that that download page said don't flash with hitman. The only El29 with CWM is offered with Rogue. Is that the reason? I used Calkulin's format, and i did all the wiping necessary. Is there any other way to get a regular CWM mod for EL29?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SuperSwagSauce:
It should work with Rogue. That's how I flashed it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jesmer:
I had that issue after I tried to install the 3.8 update(which you install on top of 3.7). If you still have recovery just flash to 3.7, it is very stable and the changes made to 3.8 don't make it that much different. just use the modified calkulins no data wipe, then flash 3.7. after you can just reflash hitman or gunslinger
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LordJummy:
I had the same problem going from 3.7 to 3.8. I used the modified calk no data format and it wouldn't boot, so i fully wiped, clean install 3.7, then just went straight to 3.8, no calk wipe at all. You do NOT want to use calk's format, even the no data one. It won't work.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GabbO2:
Hi, I plan to upgrade my older Artemis ROM to the current version. Is it possible to backup the installed apps, the contacts/ desktop setup (shortcut icon placement, widget settings), etc?

And of course to restore them with he new ROM. Pretty much what Titanium Backup does for android.

Or do I have to save everything manually somehow?

PS: I did a search :o
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Getrid:
Hi GabbO2,

I have the same plan. Currently I'm on V64 and also using CHT 2.0.0.0. I made a backup of the CHT settings, a backup of the Artemis settings with Artemis Center and a full SPB backup. Almost all of my apps and all my data are on the storage card, so they don't need to be installed after flashing. For apps necessarily to be installed on the intern storage I use the cooked in Mass installer. Please take a look in the Artemis thread help files for a detailed overview of the Mass Installer funcionality.

1. Flash ROM

2. Mass Installer

3. Restore CHT settings

4. Restore Artemis Center settings

5. Restore SPB backup

As far as I understood from what I've been reading here on the forum, that's what has to be done to get my familiar settings back after flashing a ROM. I will use this procedure tomorrow, when I have a little time.

The preparation for this is a little bit time consuming, but you will only have to do it once and then you got a full sytem recovery.

Regards

Getrid

Be carefull by using SPB backup.

Due to user reports in the past SPB backup saves and restores also system files, which could cause problems.

contacts / appointments / SMS can be saved by PIMBackup

@Getrid: Congratulations to your first post. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Getrid:

Im running stock KL1 rom & Siyah kernel v11.

I have huge wakelocks.

when I look in betterbatterystatus, I can see that AlarmManager & ActivityManager has a few minutes wakelock with count of 20,000+ after a regular day (~14hours)

I have no idea whats causing it, and I have no clue what to do against it.

Could anyone help me please?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chriskan:
I was having the same issue earlier today - someone in another thread recommending do a dump of the alarm process via adb - which I did and it helped me identify a few apps causing alarm manager to keep the phone awake.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eranyanay:
It does, actually.

I made two dumps, with time difference of maybe 4minutes.

during that time the counter reached to 600~ times (was 300-400 i think)

I tried to look into it myself, Im not quiet sure but I think its the last part I should look into?

I see this line, which changed from 300 to 400 alarms:

425 alarms: act=APNewsWidget.action.widget.news.scroll flg=0x4

also this one:

10335 alarms: act=com.anydo.widget.SmallWidget.update flg=0x4

I do use AnyDo widget, but I dont have APNewsWidget or anything like it..

I have go launcher calendar widget, which is Pure Calendar.

it has 3 alarms...so I guess it doesnt matter?

Am I reading it right? its just anydo fault?

because I tried to remove it but the counter still increases every second.

I also have huge counter for the ActivityManager-Sleep, and the RILJ (dialer) has a few hundred as well, how do I dump them to a file?

That issue is fixed on ICSSGS and maybe others, I'm not certain if it involves some adjustments ROM-side, or it should be fixed by using latest gapps. I previously encountered the issue but haven't seen it in quite some time.

Privacy

There has been an ever-increasing number of apps which want access to private information (like call logs, location, and contact information) without needing it to run the application. I'm talking about games and not apps which require such information like Anti-virus and such. Will we ever have a permission manager a la MIUI on this ROM? I understand that many developers work in concert, so I am wondering why most ROM's are not created with safeguards in place to protect private information. I am aware that I am not in the MIUI Q&A section, but I feel this is an issue that all ROM's should consider in order to protect private information. I know that I don't have to install apps which ask for this information if I don't want to give up my information, but it seems that every app nowadays asks for these permissions and it would be a shame to continue as if there were nothing wrong with compromising private information to play a game.

Thanks in advance.

Lock Screen

Has the lock screen been updated to allow for custom applications where it shows the icon of the custom application instead of that alien looking character? This was one of the reasons I moved away from this ROM and would love to come back. I'm not a fan of having to try to remember which application ties to which alien character.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scythekain:
Not yet. It still shows the animated android.

Nostalgia shows the custom icons on the ICS lock screen. (haven't flashed any other ICS roms yet.)

Update 3/24:

All aosp roms do not show custom icons.

All aokp based roms do show custom icons.

aosp also seems a little laggier than aokp. Playing angry birds space @ 1.3 ghz resulted in click and audio lag. (Gummy charged was my aosp test platform at that time).

Docs runs blazing fast at same speed with no click lag. Aokp m28 clocked at 800 MHz / glitch runs smooth. I think this is because of the scrolling cache which I force disabled in from control.

Thanks for your work bringing ics to captivate.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Huesos66:
Sorry but I don't really see how the rotation would be related to the proximity sensor functionalities.

Anyways I have to download the rom, nandroid backup, and flash everything to test it out.

Thanks for the reply
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scythekain:
you are correct, the proximity sensor does not control rotation. a bit a of a flub on my part sorry.

here are some things I tried with my AOKP rom (don't think the AOSP - CNA is too much different?)

1) There is no setting in the call menu for the proximity sensor.

2) However if you cover your sensor (which is broken anyways right?) a dab of black nail polish, to block all the light from it. I covered my sensor with my thumb and the screen stayed on. However if the problem is deeper within your hardware (possibly the control IC for the sensor), it will still lock up when it tries to access the current state of the sensor.

3) It's possible from what I've found that your sensor is okay, and that there is an internal blockage to the sensor cover. (though, my phone didn't lock up with the sensor covered?). Try canned air/ Vacuum to clear the blockage?

4) There are a several application options as none of the ICS roms I've used appear to have that MIUI option.

http://www.ehow.com/how_12187467_disable-proximity-sensor-android.html
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Huesos66:
Thx for the quick reply, and yes, maybe it's something blocking the sensor internally or maybe it's in fact plain dead.. In any case, covering it with my finger it just doesn't make any difference.

I tried before with Hardware Disabler and do what it says, the sensor turns off but the whole system turns laggy as hell so it's not a solution (however I tried this app in gingerbread not in ICS, i could give it another try).

A solution in the ROM itself or maybe the kernel would be perfect (i don't know how MIUI was able to add that switch to power it on and off without compromising the whole system)
