haven't tried it out myself, but in settings - profiles you select a profile, and the last option PHONE, the last option again is LIGHTS MODE and is set in no override.

You could create a profile for the night with the setting switched to OFF.

Hope it works
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Tommylee567:
I once tried the profile thing but i had no notifications. but this is regarding a light steadily lighting. i guess it is for the notifications only.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Tom.K:
I don't know why it bothers you at night... at some point I can't even sleep without having light on phone... Put a tape over the LED? I just think it's not possible to change this...

unfortunately there's no s-off at the moment, so make sure you dont ask that question... lol :p other than that enjoy your awesome new phone! :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] JesseMT4G:
New owner here as well. Loving the phone this far. Got it under the full rebate deal, so essentially free.

Loving the build qualities, resoulution is "amazing" , fast as can be, (Getting 17-20 download speeds and 4 upload! ) also love the camera!

Not a huge difference over my mytouch4G, but in the end it eventually is free! ;)

Okay, it is better, lol!
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrmako777:
Thanks guys! I'm still madly in love with my mt4g and have been for over a year now, but I figured it was time to give my baby a rest and try something new. So far, the amaze is a great phone, but I think I will always have a thing for my mytouch lol.

I'm a reader and a thinker but sometimes I get a little anxious, so if I miss something (aka ask a stupid question), don't be too hard on me! Lol. Looking forward to seeing this community grow and contributing what I can.

Now, who has the champagne to celebrate my arrival? ;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] JesseMT4G:
That's funny, I came from a mytouch4G, which I will still use from time to time. Just loved that phone as well.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrmako777:
certainly a great phone that still holds its own! i must say that i have NEVER had an issue with my mytouch, no cosmetic flaws, no nothing, just perfect! so far ive returned 1 sgs2, on my 2nd amaze in 2 days which will be getting returned tomorrow because of these 3 annoying light spots (looks like i have 7 cap keys! ugh!) under the cap keys (first had a dead pixel).
[HTC Amaze 4G] hasoon2000:

lol, yup saw your thread bro...i will certainly check it out when i get my replacement! say a prayer i finally get a decent unit! this phone has hella potential, and i would like to finally enjoy it lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] JesseMT4G:
Use screen filter in the market. No root required. It shuts off the soft keys. It has made my life much easier.

I loved my mytouch as well, however like the Amaze better due to the screen, which trumps the mytouch4G.

Better luck with the replacement!

I have Bionix ROM and I'm trying to add sounds to my bionic boot animation. But there isn't a poweron folder and I tried putting it in the history folder but it still doesn't work. Is there any way to add sounds to the animation?

EDIT: Changed to Bionix ROM and it still hasn't worked. Also tried putting sound file in Notification file and no luck D:

Sent from my Chuck Norris fishbowl
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
I think it has to do with the kernel, faux kernels don't have boot sound. Dunno about morfic or stock kernels either since I only rock faux ds kernels when released.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] thor6577:
What kernels do have boot sound?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jhayton:
testing a method...will post back results ...good or bad
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jhayton:
I was able to get sound...tried lots n lots. There is a TON posted here on the subject...found my solution in the HTC forums. Don't have the link handy but search CM7 boot sound. There is a file called bootsnd.sh that will append the necessary files and create the bootsound app needed. To finally get this to work I reflashed a new nightly of CM7. This also removed Trinity kernel...so maybe that was mucking things up. Ill reflash Trinity and see.

But to recap ...yes boot sound on LG g2x with cm7 is a go.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] thor6577:
OK, I'm going to try cm7. Will posts results to verify.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jhayton:
Taken from somewhere here in xda. (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1048231)

I cleared cache and dalvic using CWM.

I flashed a fresh CM7 nightly using CWM.

I Followed terminal emulator instructions...I'm sure adb from command line will work also. I used root explorer to copy android_audio.mp3 (don't forget to set system folder as R/W with root explorer.

1) search for and Download the bootsnd.sh file. Save it to the root directory of your SD Card on your Device.

2. Take whatever sound you want and rename it to: android_audio.mp3 (needs to be mp3 format) and then place in your adb directory.

3. On your phone, open terminal emulator, and type in the following:

su [enter]

cd /sdcard [enter]

ls (to list all files, you should see bootsnd.sh)

sh bootsnd.sh [enter]

You won't see a confirmation, or message, it just runs, and returns you to a # sign.

From your computer, adb push the android_audio.mp3 to the /system/media folder, reboot, and you'll have a sound.

If you don't like or know how to use adb, using root explorer and placing the android_audio.mp3 in the system/media folder works just as well (Mount the /system as R/W First). Reboot, and enjoy your boot sound.

*NOTE*

If you flash / change roms, you'll have to re-run the process to enable the boot sound again. If you get tired of it / don't want it, you can use root explorer and delete the file.

Alternate method:

For those that don't like using the terminal emulator, you can do it via adb:

navigate to your adb folder via commanda prompt, then issue the following commands:

adb remount

adb shell

cd /sdcard

ls [will list files, you should see bootsnd.sh]

sh bootsnd.sh

Like in the emulator, you will be returned with a # sign. Then place the audio file in the folder I specified. Just decided like posting an alt method
[T-Mobile LG G2x] thor6577:
What do you mean by setting the system folder as R/W? It means read/write right? (lol write right)

EDIT: Plus how do I set it to R/W ( Sry im a little of a noob when it comes to things like this, im better at game developing )
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jhayton:
Using a utility like Root Explorer (A paid app but worth the 4$, there may be a free alternative), makes this a trivial task...simply click the "Make R/W" will make the system directory ...you guessed it "Read/Writable". Normally its "Read Only" (R/O).

Im not 100% sure about this (im sure ill be corrected) as Root Explorer has made me lazy, but using ADB and issuing the command ADB Remount, will make the file system R/W (per the ADB Wiki adb remount - remounts the /system partition on the device read-write)

So using ADB to push your files, make all your edits on your local machine, then put them in your ADB directory, and issue commands as follows:

ADB remount

ADB push build.prop /system

ADB push init.local.rc /system/etc

ADB push bootsound /system/bin

ADB push android_audio.mp3 /data/local
[T-Mobile LG G2x] thor6577:
Grr after I tried it it still doesn't work!!!

EDIT:Im reflashing ROM in case.

EDIT 2 : Yup didn't work.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jhayton:
Open terminal emulator and type

Su

Then at the # type bootsound

Do u hear sound? If not something is incorrect

If you do...then its your kernel.

Trinity breaks my bootsound.

Still looking for a fix

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jakob95:
I was wondering if stock web browsering performance, is universal or about each Android version/Sense version? Like let me give you some examples, such as if you are running(on the HTC Incredible 2 of course) Android 2.3.4 with Sense 2.1(the stock ROM) or just regular Android 2.3.4 AOSP will the browsers on both of these different ROMs have different speed performance to load up pages(Using the regular browser that comes with the ROM). Another example would be how about the same thing but Sense 2.1 stock ROM on Android 2.3.4, VS a Sense 3.0/3.5 ROM on Android 2.3.5?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Card83:
I haven't noticed any drastic difference. However, I've been using Dolphin browser since I got the phone (although I have very recently moved to the Chrome browser, which I'm not sure works on any Sense ROMs yet).

For me, the biggest performance issue is based solely on the strength of my connection, which should be the obvious contributing factor. But if it helps, I'm running the AOKP ROM and the stock browser seems to open quickly and load pages with ease.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jakob95:
I did some tests and found that the sense Rom stock is faster then the browser in CyanongenMod 7.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] FutureAirways:
My two sense i have to agree with the previous poster, if your on wifi most roms/browsers are comparable. (though i dont like dolphin..)

Another consideration is whats included with the rom? Although obvious the less your running the better your browser app will preform.

You could try different radio / rom combinations to gain a better connection ..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ultravorx:
So what are we to expect for medium to heavy use battery life.

I know my inspire 4g can only make it through half a day, with custom roms and battery managment. My captivate got much more.

The international note was supposedly on par with the iPad. I'm wondering if anyone has heard or seen actual usage time.

Frank.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Maroon Mushroom:
I think a lot of it will depend on LTE usage. But my battery life was amazing on the international one. This one should be amazing too
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SysAdmNj:
LTE devices dont have the best rep for battery life though. I hope this isnt the case with the note.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] joshnichols189:
Take into account you have to be one of what, 10-20 cities that actually has AT&T LTE in it for it to drain your battery.. You would assume the battery would be comparable to the international one on 3G only.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Aerials:
Yeah..or if they're both on HSPA.

Since I actually live in an area that seems to have fairly solid LTE coverage, I'm most likely gonna have to toggle between H+ and LTE accordingly after phone is rooted...

But that might change if I do buy 1 of those battery bundles that are already selling on ebay.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] alexige:
You know you can just go to a device support center and ask for a new battery free of charge? I have like five for my captivate because I've just gone and ask and they've either sent then fedex or gave it to me on the spot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] modmyphone:
LTE is actually in A LOT MORE AREAS than people think. I found out just the other day, that my area is covered even though there has only been a "soft launch" in a downtown are 15 miles from here. Along with that soft launch, they activated the LTE network along the whole Amtrack rail line between Boston and New York.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nymviper1126:
When you go in person, do they test your battery out and such? Or just hand you one? I have a support center a block away so how many times were you able to get a free one in person and did you have to return the old one when u were in person. thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] alexige:
Like I said I have five and they are all laying on the floor in my room. I've replaced my cappy a few times so each time I asked for a new one but I did get one or two just walking in and saying I'm not happy with the battery life. Of course your experience may vary. I can't think of them load testing a cell phone battery like they do a car battery if you replace it under warranty but who knows.

I must add this all occurred in the first year during the manufacturer warranty. I didn't even try after the warranty expired.

Well, you can find backups of most models on the forum. If you want to make your own, it will take some studying.

Well, an easy way to get CWM is flash a Kernel that is for your version of Galaxy Player. Look on the Development page and you will find a kernel that suites your needs. Very simple to do using Odin. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0imhKnMtQ9A
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Entropy512:
You need to flash a kernel that includes CWM and do a backup in that. Don't use ROM Manager.

CWM Recovery

In the development forms for the Player, there is a CWM flashable .tar you an use.

I used Odin (not my favorite program, but it works) and the flash took a total of 3 seconds. CWM will be installed and you can make a Nandroid for the player. Best of luck.

hi. based on the link, I tried flashing Entropy's kernel, but I can't seem to find the .tar file. I assume that this was what i had to download:-

File Type: tar	DD_01142012.tar - [Click for QR Code]

but when I get it, it appears as an extractable winrar file. So I extracted it and got the zImage file, which doesn't have the .tar

Firstly, is that the right file to download?

secondly, if it is the right one, do i extract it or just flash it as it is?

i am using Odin btw. Just rooted my SGP 5.0 using superoneclick

So do you guys find it necessary to have a ram manager to free memory or no ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pasc5:
No, ics have a good system to manage ram.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
No. Creates more issues than it solves.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
+1 for no. Watchdog has always been a must have for me, but it hasn't yet had to call out an app on my SGN.:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] codesplice:
No. Don't use automated tools to kill tasks and free up memory... in Android, free memory is wasted memory. You make your phone work harder when you interfere with its built-in memory management.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EP2008:
I kill running services that shouldn't be running... That allows for more RAM to be used by active applications.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Users always feel they are smarter than the OS when it comes to killing processes. They are usually wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s2d4:
Funniest thing I read all day and its true ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EP2008:
Yes,I feel that having running SERVICES that I'm not using is a huge waste of memory and battery resources. Android is not smart in this regard.

For example, I use the amazon app store to check for free apps of the day ONCE a day. No need to have it run as a service all day, using up ram and CPU. Another example is pulse news reader. I want to go in the app, refresh the feeds, read them and exit, but the app remains running as a service for no reason. I also use a document scanner app which runs as a service when I'm not using it for no good reason. So, I kill the service.

To suggest that I'm wrong in doing this shows a lack of understanding of the issue at hand.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jordanishere:
You have no idea how android works and deserve to have your nexus confiscated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Geezer Squid:
Android does not operate like windows. Apps listed as "Running" are actually only loaded in ram and are not using cpu cycles or battery power. Android loads them in ram in order for them to start/be available more quickly to the user. If Android needs more ram for a task, it will remove any thing it needs to in order to free up more ram. You are wasting battery power and cpu cycles by "killing" those apps/service. If you think of ram as a memory stick you will realize that once something is loaded there, it doesn't take any power to keep it there.

Good luck

Good luck
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] codesplice:
System services should obviously not be messed with, but disabling autostarting services that you don't use is generally not a problem. It may take more power/time to start up apps that use those services (since they will have to be manually started), but if it's an app that you use infrequently it may be worth doing.

Intelligently tuning what services are allowed to autostart themselves is NOT the same as indiscriminately killing apps chasing after "free memory".

Personally, I wouldn't terminate services, but only modify which ones are allowed to automatically start up with the OS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jordanishere:
Is it worth doing when Android does this automatically?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s2d4:
you basically proved what he said was true :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I agree with using "Autostarts", it's one of my fav apps and cuts down on startup time and certain apps like to be triggered for all kinds of rediculous things. Once again though I think it is counterproductive to use automated task killers. Watchdog will alert you of apps running away with your ram and battery, but does not just auto kill all random apps. As far as the Amazon AppStore, I agree that it can be very malicious with RAM if it wants to be even when just checking the FAOTD in the mornings, on my Atrix I would get constant alerts from Watchdog for Amazon AppStore. On my SGN however I have yet to recieve ANY alerts for ANY app yet from Watchdog, this leads me to think there is better optimization going on with ICS or the Nexus than I had with Gingerbread and Atrix.:)

Is there any reason not to use AutoStarts or WatchDog? They are not auto killing apps at all. And I am requesting a "real" technical explanation not just you opinion or a "think of it like.." story, those are useless to me and offer no explanation.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] codesplice:
Eh, usually there's not much benefit to be had - but preventing a service from auto starting when you might not use its app for the entire time Android is booted won't cause any problems. You're essentially "freezing" the service while still allowing it to be used on demand .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] codesplice:
I relied upon autostart tuning and Watchdog on my N1, but haven't experienced a real need for either on the SGN. Not necessarily a technical response, but just my experience.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EP2008:
Wow, the ignorance on XDA is staggering.

A RUNNING SERVICE is not the same as a cached app or background process.

Why the heck would anyone want 3 or 4 running services in the background when they don't need them running?

Right now, I have the logmein service using 26mb, Amazon app store using 38mb, pulse taking up 43mb and I'm NOT using these apps. They are running as services and using ram, battery and cpu.

Continue to defend Android and all its flaws. The user doesn't always have to accept how poorly some things function.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] codesplice:
Less an Android flaw and more related to how developers wrote those apps. Otherwise I think we are in agreement though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
why?

10char
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Battery usage for 1mb of ram is the same as 100. Your argument is as ignorant as your comment about ignorance. Android frees up ram as it needs it. Micromanaging is not needed.

I guess some folks can draw some conclusions between your beliefs here and your poor battery life posts/threads in general.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EP2008:
Surely you can't be this dense.

Most application services are NOT closed by Android. They are persistent and take priority over background apps, which Android will aggressively close. I repeat, Android will NOT close these unneeded services without the user doing so manually. Android will NOT free up memory from persistent application services. I hope that's clear enough for you.

I'm sharing what I've experienced having used a half dozen Android devices. You can make personal attacks against me if you like, but it shows how little you know about the facts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] codesplice:
The N1 was a bit more limited on available RAM than the SGN is. I also have an addiction to collecting apps. I pretty much always have upwards of 250 apps installed. There's no reason for a service to always autostart for an app I use maybe once a month.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Who is being personal besides you?

Last two posts have made comments about ignorance and now a personal comment of dense towards me. You are a miserable little man, aren't ya? Your arguments hold no water so you must make it personal.

Alright. Both are for straight nix kernels but apply to Android.

http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/ABI/obsolete/proc-pid-oom_adj

There are more parameters that can be adjusted as well.

I'd say the Linux kernel and therefore the Android kernel have you covered.

Facts with links. Your turn.

I will not reply to anything you do not back up with a reputable source, so if you don't have it, don't bother.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EP2008:
I had to laugh hard at this. What exactly are you trying to prove? I laymans terms.

So to answer the OP's post: use a task killer as you see fit. Android WILL close background apps automatically, so you don't really have to kill those apps, but if you have apps running as a service which you DON'T NEED, then kill it!
