If that's what they can offer or if that's their preference then who am I to complain? I am just a leecher. Yes it would be a pain to download. I don't prefer torrents tbh and I can also go and say "Is it very hard for developer to make upload this to mediafire hotfile?"
[Desire General] Revertron:
Is it hard for someone else make a torrent? Is it hard to mention it in the topic?

I am willing to help in that manner, why others do not?
[Desire General] stankyou:
Well no one is stopping you from helping them out in that department and I bet the devs would appreciate it. :)

As for me, I still prefer file hosting sites as with the majority of people here I guess. I really don't wanna go and install a torrent client on my laptop anyway.
[Desire General] Revertron:
It's a pity that I have no rights to post in dev-topics yet. I will try to make a big topic here, post more torrent links for now...

You don't have a torrent client installed? O_o It's hard to imagine in what swamp you are living :(
[Desire General] stankyou:
Never really had any reason to install one. I'm not into too much downloading stuff anyway.

You only need 4 more post. So you'll prolly be posting there in a bit.
[Desire General] danarama:
I don't even ask donations.... and mattman donates me (and others) ftp space that he pays for, for nothing.
[Desire General] Revertron:
Added torrent for RevolutioN.xMas.Edition.v3.0 in first post. Didn't try on wife's Desire. Will try sometime later :)
[Desire General] Revertron:
May be you need a torrent for your works? ;) I can make some, seed and host. Just PM me if you'd like.
[Desire General] danarama:
Thank you for the offer but no need. I will put up a mirror if ftp fails. I like to track download statistics myself ;)
[Desire General] 777ace:
Only two more posts Rever! You've done well out of this (pointless?) debate :)
[Desire General] weirdsciencex:
Personally I think this is a good idea. I already use this method for testing and distributing Linux distros.

of course if the ROM is open source which all Android roms should be then there is plenty of good free hosting specifically for open source projects. Two I can think of being Google code and Sourceforge:)
[Desire General] Revertron:
BTW: Can anyone advice other good roms, that will be good to release as torrents?
[Desire General] colin_404:
Hmm Aurora v6; 1 hotfile, 2 live mirrors not much need of torrent there.

Just hope u ask the Devs first.
[Desire General] Revertron:
Not every Dev makes some mirrors.

BTW: I see now some new host appeared: http://d-h.st/ - I hope it will host ROMs more adequately than mediafire like hosts...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] baaj:
I really love it. I haven't used the stylus much. Nice to have though.

Totally used to the size after 5 days (from a reading and UX perspective). I picked up my wife's iphone yesterday, and it seemed comically small. Don't think I could ever go smaller again. Though physically, its still very large - my thumb tends to cramp when I hold it for an extended period.

My main complaints:

★Still a bunch of permanent Bloatware (no way to root yet without updating the bios counter, right?)

★I use the capacitive buttons on the bottom, but would much prefer there to be onscreen gestures for back, search and properties. (Are there? What do the international note users do without these buttons?)

★The phone is also so big that it's a pain to reach up around the side to power up. I would much prefer to have a physical button on the bottom.

★at&t bastards stripped out the FM radio (!)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] orangekid:
1) yes you can :)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1505062

2) You can find apps that allow gestures like that.

3) can't help you there

4) I GUARANTEE this will be added by devs
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] camaroz28:
You can root without triggering the counter: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1505062

The international note still has the menu and back capacitive buttons. The search feature is usually pretty easy to find in each app without using the capacitive button.

---------- Post added at 10:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 AM ----------

But have the confirmed we even have the hardware? I heard the Galaxy S II had the hardware removed in the US version. So if that is the case, FM radio wouldn't be possible :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Earthdog:
2) Can you suggest an app?

4) Cannot be done though the capability is there within the chip it has been disabled. This has been confirm by various FM Radio app dev's. They say that its disabled at a hardware level as the SkyRocket was.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] orangekid:
wow, can't believe that. Good thing I don't use FM radio on my phone, but that's pretty dumb.

I'll see which apps are the best for gestures.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Tikerz:
There are gestures for back, home, and menu when using the S-PEN.

I was wondering if someone could help me out.

Today when I went to settings, accounts and sync I get the below message.

Sync is experiencing problems. It will be back shortly.

It has been like this all day and I have tried unchecking and rechecking autosync. I have also press the button that says sync all. Still getting the same message.

Any idea what may be happening or what I can do? Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobby3306:
background data checked?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chochiwpg:
yes it is. I think I got it figured out. Under manage accounts the message was popping up for Twitter, but none of my other accounts. When I click on twitter, Sync Twitter was working perfectly, it was Sync Contacts (twitter contacts) that wasn't. I unchecked sync contacts and no more error.

I didn't really want my Twitter contacts to show up under my phone contacts anyway.

thanks.

I was just curious to what are some of the better battery saving roms out their. I have a samsung galaxay s 2 i777 and after the dreadful 2.3.6 update my phones battery dies before the end of the day (thats if i dont use it) and withing 12 hours if i use it through the day. Im looking for a flashy rom that does not take up to much battery life anything better than this 2.3.6 att update would be great. So what is your favorite battery saving rom, and why?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] joeybear23:
sorry, but this thread is going to die...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ferls1985:
why's that, this is a general question after all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] joeybear23:
Understood...

Unfortunately, the mods don't like people getting into spitting matches over which ROM is better. Typically they will spiral out of control.

Your best bet is to just peruse the forums and try multiple ROMs and find what is best for you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jhermit:
ROMs are like girlfriends, you can pick the good looking one, but that does not mean that she wont nag. Younger is not always better.

I have been in a quest for this very thing and I can tell you that so much depends on your usage patterns, applications you install, and other stuff, that there is no perfect solutions.

Given where you are, I would go to this thread and read as much as you can. Probably the single best place to learn how to figure out the root cause and the strength/weakness of a ROM base:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1308030

So to answer you with my personal view is that:

- I cannot use the Hellraised ROMs due to my requirement to have password

- Many have had good experience with Hellraised ROMs, so if you do not have that restriction (PIN or PW), I would try that

- So from the i777 base, the best battery life for me came from UnNamed 1.3.2 with DD kernel. I still have significant battery problems, but that gives me the best
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] BeenAndroidized:
+1

Well said concurred
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
Best simile ever!

Ya, these threads dont usually produce good wholesome conversations... it usually turns into a popularity contest and different Devs dont like to see that.

However, for battery saving, there is a good thread going on here with awesome data.

I came across an updated whitepaper for Tegra3. tegra3 is now marketed as a "4+1" core system. This whitepaper goes into detail exactly how Tegra3 works. its a very good read and highly recommended to download to become more educated on how the Tegra3 in your prime really operates. it also tells how its quad core uses less power than dual cores, no matter the die size. plus tegra3 can perform same tasks as dual cores but use less power doing it. it details all its benefits. it also details the challenges it has also and how it was addressed. this chip has several patented techniques used in it. This chip is a first and revolutionary in mobile computing world. check it out. I've uploaded the file so it can be shared. after reading it, I'm even more impressed with Nvidia now and appreciate the maximum power n great battery life of Tegra3 even more.

check it out..I've enclosed it within a zip file to meet uploading requirements since original PDF was too large.

Also Tegra3 expected to be a big presence at MWC @ Barcelona. Several tablets and phones using this chipset. Here is link to more details. http://www.androidcentral.com/nvidia-dubs-their-tegra-3-architecture-4-plus-1-hints-big-mwc-presence

edit: added another good read. whitepaper on Benefits of Multi-Core CPU's in Mobile Device's

Thanx for the info.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Blairware:
Thanks Demandarin, I am always interested in how things work, it's what got me into tech in the first place. I do like a good tech read, the same stuff that I find fascinating would put most folks into a coma!

Thanks for going to the trouble to zip & upload.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
As I read this white paper, I'm pretty convinced that ASUS and Nvidia (probably mostly Nvidia) still have some work to do in optimizing this thing. I think it spends too much time with too many cores working at too high a frequency, and that's impacting battery life. And that's both in standby and actual use.

Not complaining, mind you, just making a note. While my Prime on .14 gets decent battery life, it doesn't get great battery life. I see too many instances of 15%/hour battery use when I'm only reading an ebook--if just the companion core were being utilized, as I think it should, I'd expect this number to be MUCH lower. And this is with the screen on the lowest brightness. Honestly, I hope to be able use the Prime for ebook reading for longer than 6.5 hours...

I'm sure they'll get things optimized at some point. I hear rumors that .15 might bring much improved battery life, and so I'm looking forward to seeing it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I get what you saying. It is weird that although it was confirmed that all primes have the same hardware, performance and battery life varies between devices. I get longer than 6.5hrs. On 1.6Ghz overclock I'm running..lmao and that's with surfing the web and playing games n videos. You are correct, no reason why just e-reading should drain 15% battery per he. On lowest brightness setting. I normally get about 10% battery drain with heavy usage. I would think something else is at play on your device. Maybe a rogue app or widget. I always get get great battery life. I deleted some apps that seemed to make battery drain faster. Plus I cut back my notification timings. Did all I could to maximize battery performance while maintaining good speeds. I usually either run stock balanced mode or cut on 1.6Ghz overclock.

I'm always down for updates improving battery life. Hopefully .15 will bring this for you. Can't see how your tablet is draining so fast only reading books. SMH. Have you installed Better Battery stats to see if any rogue apps or processes are constantly running or cutting off n on? That's what I used to narrow down poorly coded apps/Widgets not optimized yet.for the type of use you doing, only the companion core or a real low frequency main core should be running. I really think something else might be going on in your tablet. There are plenty experiencing great battery life. With only reading e-books, you should easily be able to pull 9-10hrs.+ out of tablet in balanced mode. Even longer in powersavings mode.

What mode do you usually run your tablet in?

Also I get great standby n deep sleep. It only barely sips battery in those states. I know around .11 and before .14 updates, the speeds were changed and always seemed to run high all the time. Multiple cores seemed to run at same time when not needed. Now the latest update .14 brought back our original speeds. Multiple cores don't run now when not needed. I use System Tuner to confirm what speeds processors are running at. Others confirmed also speeds going back to normal and getting the great battery life back. So I don't see my cores running excessively high anymore or running more at once if not needed.

One trick to try for your case is go into developers options and cut on force 2d hardware gpu rendering. Run it for a little to see if it helps make battery last longer. It might help since gpu being forced to do what you need for reading. Gpu is more efficient and consumes less power than CPU at that kind of stuff. Plus it'll load up and turn your pages faster n stuff n shouldn't be hardly any lag.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
Well, it's interesting. I'm running a number of apps to track battery usage (it's become something of a hobby, trying to figure out what's going on :D), and I've not managed to identify anything acting wonky. I run on Balanced mode pretty much all the time, but interestingly I don't notice much different when I switch to either Battery Saver or Performance.

I can run at 20%/hour or more when I'm really hitting things, such as heavy browsing or gaming. And, yes, sometimes I drop down to 10%/hour when I'm ebook reading, although that usually doesn't last long. Overall, there's enough inconsistency that I'm pretty much convinced that it's due to the Tegra 3 not making efficient use of its cores, and again I'm also convinced Nvidia and ASUS will fix it eventually.

Regarding standby, I get around .5%/hour use. While that seems good at first glance, it still seems high when you consider that only the companion core should be running, at something less than 500MHz. Configured roughly the same way, my TF101 has managed about the same .5%/hour use (sometimes better). So, while the Prime is doing OKAY, it doesn't seem to be doing what it's capable of. And, I remember on one of the builds, I was running closer to .25%/hour, so I know it's possible.

Oh, incidentally: there's also a bug in .14. Sometimes, it'll drop 2% instead of 1%. So, apps will be reporting good battery use, and then WHAM, it'll drop 2% instead of 1% and the numbers go back up (naturally).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
Havent read it yet but does it explain why the tablet slows down a lot during downloading? I assumed with 4 cores it would be able to handle it no problem. Maybe its an OS issue.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Erusman:
Nice Thank you sir!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Some downloads go really fast n others seem really slow. Very dependent on the servers where the downloads are coming from. If anything I think that's more of a software or server issue.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] benefit14snake:
Wow. When they get the software aspect down (Nvidia) this chip will ROCK for battery life. Can't wait to see Wayne, 28nm ftw! Assuming 28nm transition goes smoothly, which seems like a thing of the past for every company except Intel. From 65nm down to 28nm has been a rough, expensive ride for more companies than one.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] benefit14snake:
Lmfao, if it comes out early 2013 that's an entire generational leap! I would hope it wipes the floor with tegra 3. If it comes out next month then that sucks for nvidia, next year who cares.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Wow, they comparing a chip that won't be released till 2013(article confirms it) to a chip that's already available now. Lmfao I'd say a big fail on their part. Test it against tegra4 or even an overclocked tegra3 n see how the results change ;)

Nice try. TEGRA3 is best Android has to offer today and for at least a few months more. June is probably when other chips for android will finally drop.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
That's what I'm saying..lmfao. when that TI chip finally drops Tegra4/Wayne will be out already. Then it'll wipe the floor with that TI chip. I think even an overclocked prime can hang with it. ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clockwork58:
Maybe it's my age. But when I think of TI, I think of calculators.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ickk:
Most of this reiterates what I already know, I've paid close attention to nvidia in the months before t3s release. The thing that bothers me is that there is space for larger caches on the cpu next to the 5th core. If you look at intels cpu layouts they use the space on the chip very frugally.

I hope they will include a companion core to wayne. With 8 cores the 9th companion core will form a nice square to properly fill up the chip. I'm not sure if we'll get batman though, if tablets only get robin I don't know how steep of an increase that will be. Apparently its supposed to have a ridiculous amount of gpu cores/shaders.

As long as it gets better battery I'll be pleased. I don't lag with t3, but the battery life is poor compared to my tf101.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] NeoteriX:
It's an I/O issue.

Regardless how fast the processors are, if the memory (um, hard disk equivalent memory, not RAM) is slow, then the processor will be waiting on the input/output writing reading.

People have suggested here in other threads that the memory used in the Prime isn't all that good, bc there are low scores on the Bonnie++ and other tests.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Same here..lol. they were the first on the mobile chip/computing scene. I believe. I remember those graphing calculators they had in school. Some people hascked those to run simple programs since they were like simple mini computers. The newer more expensive ones came out in color. Who knows how advanced their calculators are now. I use to think those were so cool. Even had a port on it to hook it up to stuff.

Talking about this now got me remembering when electronic organizers first came out. I had several. Man, I thought I had the coolest devices n those were even more like mini computers. Always dreamed of hacking stuff with them. Those were the days. I even had one of the more expensive Rolodex ones. It was like a box clam shell. The whole top piece was the screen n whole bottom half was the keyboard. Then you had the remote control watches. Changing the channels in class n teacher wondering how OTA happening..lol there was organizer watches also along with the watches that played videogames on them.

Let me stop before I go on n on about history of tech n how its evolved so much..lol

Thanks for the flashback, I'm still young, ;) but old enough to remember all the old stuff. Damn, its been 14yrs. Since I graduated in 98. Now I'm feeling old :( lol still seems just like yesterday thinkn back to it all.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Are you talking about the legendary STARKS chipset? Once Nvidia releases that beast, Its a Whole New worldddddd...lol. cpu's n gpu's out da a$$.

I actually get great battery life. My prime lasts longer than my Ipad. Even on 1.6Ghz overclock I get good battery life compared to the speed increase.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rand4ll:
The slowdown is due to the memory being written. It's horribly slow. I see this same issues on my android phone as well.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] di11igaf:
Not really an over clock though, I've yet to see my tablet hit 1.6. The CPU is capable of hitting 1.6 while using a single thread, but I've yet to see that happen. Even with 1.6 as Max CPU frequency, I rarely break 1.2. Now when we get a proper kernel overclock to truly make 1.6 the Max CPU frequency no matter the threads, that'll be a different story.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
:confused: The proper kernel overclocks were already embedded in stock roms we have. The 1.5Ghz and 1.6Ghz speeds. You need to be rooted in order to execute the scripts in /system/etc directory. In there you will see those higher clock speed scripts in there already. Only root is needed to enable them. They stick until device is powered down or rebooted. Or you can use scriptmanager or Gscript to enable those on boot. if you have vipercontrol or ATP tweaks then you can overclock to 1.6Ghz. CPU spy will confirm. I always check it. My prime actually spends a good amount of time at that speed since I'm constantly using it. Plus I have a CPU speed widget on home screen that shows it hitting that speed all the time. Plus I've done an even more aggressive form of overclocking on top of ATP tweaks or ViperControl. I've had it so that all 4 cores are running at maximum 1.6Ghz at the same time all the time. Of course this drains battery alot faster. All you need is to apply the 1.6Ghz overclock method thru one of those I listed. Then get system tuner app. Open it and go into CPU tweaks. Change the governor in there to performance mode. Then raise the minimum speed all the way to Max. Now the real time statistics of each core speed will show all 4 cores maxed out at 1.6Ghz. N it'll stay like that until you change it. Then if you want to try to extend battery somewhat with that aggressive clocking, you can set a second governor in options to stock system tuner interactive mode when the screen is off. So it basically puts it back to regular speeds when screen off.

Here is proof: root is needed of course for overclock and for system tuner changes to stick.

Here is another example of a more agressive stock performance mode. Normally only one core can go 1.4Ghz on a single thread task or whatever. BUT look here, I have all 4 cores maxed out at 1.4Ghz at the same time, all the time.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] di11igaf:
granted, I haven't even rooted ics yet, so everything I'm talking about was from honeycomb. I modified the scripts myself and no matter what I tried I rarely could get speeds higher than 1.4 when I had freq cap set for 1.6 even with performance governor it never hit 1.6 .

I had read the tegra 3 was doing a sort if Intel turbo boost meaning less active threads=higher freq. That's what I was seeing when I mas messing around for that short time. I was just figuring I'd need to start on a kernel to get a true over clock, but hey if I'm wrong less work for me. I'm gonna pull in aosp ics and start on a build and kernel this weekend so I'll unlock the boot loader and start looking more into it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Push the envelope. Be the first out with a custom kernel that allows overclocking higher than 1.6Ghz. Like 1.8-2Ghz to start off with ;) if its pretty stable then I'm sure loads of people would love to try your custom kernel. Also undervolting would be a good idea also. Allow overclocking to get same battery life as stock or maybe even better. Good luck on your kernel building.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ickk:
Nope, from what I understand stark is still very vague.

I was talking of Wayne. Wayne is going to be two different processors, Batman & Robin- an octo-core version for netbooks (hopefully larger tablets), and a energy efficient quad core version for tablets and phones.
