[Motorola Droid X2] fitchy720:
thank you guys. Found airplane mode, but i also found the toggle to turn off data, so that's basically why i wanted airplane mode. I live in an area with crappy service, airplane and data toggle help me extend battery life... basically so my phone isn't constantly working trying to find service when i know i don't have any... as far as Freezing, i have an app that can do it, i was just curious if it was safe to do so? Mostly the apps i had mentioned above. I don't wanna freeze something, then make my phone freak out. and have to nandroid or something.

and i just wanted a faster way to reach the running apps... i'm paranoid about apps running when i don't want them to.. lol

thanks for the help though guys. much appreciated.
[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
Where did you find the data goggles? When I look it shows 2g and 3g and it is greyed out. I also used turning off data when not in use to save battery.
[Motorola Droid X2] fitchy720:
The data toggle should be right there on the same menu iirc.
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
I have ~20 apps frozen out of the maybe 50 I have and my phone is totally fine. So long as you aren't freezing something like your launcher, you're golden.

I feel the same way about running apps. Try advanced app killer. Its found in the Market, its totally free and easy to use. You can drag down the notification bar open the app and see exactly what is running and then kill anything you don't want running. There's also a one touch killer widget.
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
Ignore this...
[Motorola Droid X2] CadenH:
Also for brightness control on the fly go to settings, cm settings, interface, status bar tweaks and check off status bar brightness control. Takes some getting used to but you can change your brightness by sliding your finger left and right along your status bar.
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
That actually works for you? I've been trying to do it but nothing happens.

Nevermind, it just decided to start working. Odd...
[Motorola Droid X2] fitchy720:
One more problem. "Phone idle" is eating up my battery today... what does that even mean??
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
Where did you see that?
[Motorola Droid X2] Oldblackcrow:
I just installed cm7 and am very pleased so far. However, I am noticing a significant battery drain compared to Blur. Is this anything anyone else is experiencing? If so, any fixes or is there something in the works from the CM team. Thanks a billion!

[Motorola Droid X2] Deleted member 4177996:
Give it a few days...the battery will get better. I would also suggest completely draining then recharging the battery until its been at 100% for 15 minutes.
[Motorola Droid X2] fitchy720:
Settings, applications, battery use.
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
Hmmm I think that is battery used while the screen locked and not in use. I've no idea how you'd regulate that other than turning the phone off altogether. Is phone idle draining more battery than your display? If so, that might be a problem.
[Motorola Droid X2] fitchy720:
No, phone idle has never used more battery than display. So I guess that's good. Lol. I've noticed lately tho, that if I turn data on, I can literally watch my battery percentage drop. I've calibrated. And completely drained and then charged (uninterrupted) the battery.

I like cm7 though. Has lots of really cool features, but my main purpose for getting it was better battery life. ( which wasn't bad on stock) again, any and all input is welcome!
[Motorola Droid X2] king..kranium:
Juice defender pro. Watch it triple ur battery life.
[Motorola Droid X2] theking_13:
How would that help if he has problems with data on? Not with it off. Also, juice defender does nothing more than turn off data connections when your screen is off or when you schedule it to. Its much more efficient to do it yourself.

It could be a problem with the driver. I have this issue too on my G2X.
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
Well I'd try I battery saver first. I use easy battery saver and it really does make a difference. Juice Defender is cool.I'd advise against using the free version because it doesn't do a damn thing for you that you couldn't do yourself.

Also you might wanna try this script:

http://www.mediafire.com/?8q1tqeae7pyx9kc

Its a mash up of two great scripts that tweak your memory storeage, 3G and wifi speeds. I haven't monitored its effect on my battery but its made the things I mentioned a ton better. If you want more info on it, you can find the thread in Development (I'd link you to it but I can't do that in the app :/)
[Motorola Droid X2] fitchy720:
How does one apply a script?
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
There are different ways you can apply a script that really depend on how well you know your phone. Mashup is installed the exact same way you flash a ROM, minus the data, cache and dalvik wipes.
[Motorola Droid X2] fitchy720:
Gotcha, now installed. What exactly should this do for me? I don't generally dl and install things w out a bit of research first... but battery is killin me...lol
[Motorola Droid X2] Oldblackcrow:
Thanks to all for the useful answers. I've tried juice defender (paid) in the past with no luck but I'll give it another go. However, I will try draining my battery til it's dead first and then try the other suggestions.

Other issues I'm having; I have .ogg files that I use for ring tone and messaging. In the main settings, they work perfectly on test, but when I actually receive a call, I get a completely different ringtone... this is true with the stock dialer... but I'm using GO contacts/dialer and tried setting the ringtone in there directly, but same thing. Anyone else with a similar issue? Thanks again!

[Motorola Droid X2] fitchy720:
I'm too impatient. I decided to sbf (which i didn't do before, i flashed cm7 from my nandroid right after rooting).i also formatted sd cards and everything. just as though i pulled it out of the box.

After sbf'ing and re flashing cm7. I'm hoping that resolves the poopy battery life. I'm slowy adding everything back. to see if maybe it's one of my apps that was inadvertantly draining my battery or something. anyway. anyone following along, i'll update as much as possible. lol
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
You have to give it some time man...
[Motorola Droid X2] fitchy720:
is there some sort of "break in" period or something?

cuz as soon as i turn on data, my battery just goes to hell.
[Motorola Droid X2] king..kranium:
I'd say 2-3 days you'll b in love.

Isn't battery saver a task killer? Is it benificial in conjunction with system tuner pro's very aggressive settings?
[Motorola Droid X2] fitchy720:
on an unrelated note... how do i set the default place where things are saved ? some how or another, it's saving everything to internal memory..
[Motorola Droid X2] king..kranium:
Cm setting/ app settings/ Install location
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
No its a battery saver that's surprisingly customizable. I've never heard of system tuner pro.
[Motorola Droid X2] king..kranium:
I'd say please investigate, after data wipe this is first app I download. Has a task manager(that you can set to exclude itself). App manager- backup/restore freeze etc. CPU sliders task killer settings SD tweaks.... I Have to have this app.
[Motorola Droid X2] Oldblackcrow:
FYI: Pertaining to my ogg file... after deleting all the files in the folder and reconverted my tones to ogg, it seems it was probably corrupted files.

Droid X2 CM7
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
Does it have a one-touch app killer widget. I need one.
[Motorola Droid X2] king..kranium:
No the widget launches the app at task killer...
[Motorola Droid X2] fitchy720:
Ok, so now my battery life is very much acceptable. Cm7 is feeling better. Occasionally my dockbar disappears and I have to reboot. And sometimes apps seem to have a hard time launching

Tethering a tablet to DX2 with CM7

My phone is running the first beta (pre tethering patch). For my birthday last week, my wife bought me an Acer Iconia A200-16gb tablet. since the tablet is wifi only, I am planning on tethering it with my phone via USB.

My question - if I download the beta 2 CM7 with the tethering patch, is there anything special I need to do? specifically wiping the big 3 or can I just flash over the existing version.

Thanks to all who have had a hand in the development of the DX2 but especially DKZ for bringing CM7 to us! can't wait for CM9.:D
[Motorola Droid X2] king..kranium:
Well for a play by play the best place is Dzk's post... but just make sure after u flash the rom to flash the tether patch and ggapps and custom recovery then wipe.
[Motorola Droid X2] Oldblackcrow:
I found another glitch... first, when I dial a number, I got a double tone on each tap. So I shut off the tone in sound settings. Then I reactivated and now there's still no sound. I've tried rebooting several time with and without the tone checked. Any ideas? Thanks!

I've followed THIS guide to make recent apps thumbnails bigger. I also made some improvements of my own. The only problem is that I can't manage to make the thumbnails bigger in resolution, they only get bigger in size making them look awful. So my question is how do I make the images bigger in resolution? Any information regarding how and when thumbnails are taken, what app does that and such will be appreciated.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Icey34:
Just a few questions guys:

I. I know bootloader is locked and all. But can you still root/are there good ROMs?

II. I see lots if ICS ROMs, are these legit or are they just themes. If so I'm curious, does it inlcude the touch keys? That'd be funky with 4 keys on the phone already xD.

III. How hard/easy is it to brick this phone?

IV. Overall, how's the Dev community? I have a Nexus and I'm not trying to compare but been on my 2nd GNexus already with no 4g in a strong 4g area (miami, florida) and I originally had a Razr Maxx but I traded it in for $35, starting to regret it, not for battery but for radios :(.

Thanks guys.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bb12489:
Go to droidrzr.com

The CDMA development is going strong over there. So far we have 3 different ICS roms as well as a few GB roms. The ICS roms do not have the touch screen buttons if that's what you're asking. Just the hard touch keys on the phone its self.

As for bricking.... I think we're pretty well safe as long as you follow the instructions for the roms you're installing. One thing you definitely need to download is the Droid razr utility. It can fastboot you back to .173 system if you mess up anything! As well as root you're phone, install bootstrap recovery, and perform many other functions.

CDMA development here is dead... Only GSM work going on here mostly.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Icey34:
ok thanks man :)

Anyone else, please share their experiences if you have tried the ICS ROMs.

I recently rooted my viewpad 7. I added recovery.img and partitions to it but i could not get it too flash to cwrecovery.img.

I installed ROM manager and tried to flash via that. It said its flashed so i rebooted into recovery via ROM Manager and now im stuck at splash screen where it says viewsonic with them 3 parrots and in the corner its says enter recovery mode in small writing.

How do i get out of this?

Any help appreciated thanks ppl
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] tanwg82:
I will be getting my Xperia Pro very soon and have been looking around xda-developers for a bit. To my disappointment, I don't find much stuff about Xperia Pro.

Knowing that the default state of the phone might be relatively slower and not-so-smooth, I hope to find some fast ROMs that I might be able to flash to my arriving-soon Xperia Pro. I heard about Acronium and XPERIA MOD, but they are not for Pro?

I prefer to use something based on stock firmware plus tweaks, so that everything works.

Does anyone have any recommendations?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] beranchoi:
use cyanogenmod 7.2...very stable...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] alvaroag:
Well, on my opinion, the stock ROM is pretty usable, smooth, and has some advantages over the CM based ones. Once you root it, you can get some level of customization, and you can optimize it by deleting several [sometimes] useless applications SE includes. Also, you can get more free space by integrating the system dalvik cache into the system partition, and even odexing the rom to move the framework dalvik cache to the system partition.

Anyway, here's a list of the four alternative ROMs that are currently available for the MK16:

1. FXP CM 7.2: Still in development; FM & HDMI don't work, everything else is OK.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1315904

2. CM 7.2 Official: Only available as nightly builds. Don't have much reference about it, but I think it's as functional as the FXP one.

http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=iyokan

3. SEMC Debrand Engine: It's a CM 7.1 based ROM which looks like the SE Stock & includes the SE sotck apps. It's currently on development, and should be released soon.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1494006

4. FXP CM 9 ICS: on early development, still very buggy, but good if you want to test something new.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1445819

I think I'll be posting soon a list of the APKs that can be deleted, so people can speed up their stock ROM.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] tanwg82:
Thanks alvaroag for the detailed explanation! :)

I will most likely choose the route of rooting my stock ROM and optimising it. Do you happen to have links on info of how to root Xperia Pro, plus the things you have said? if not i will just go search around...

Looking forward to see the list of APKs!

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] alvaroag:
To root it, you can use the zergRush exploit. It works even with locker bootloader: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1320350

About odexing the ROM, you have two options:

1. Titanium Backup PRO(paid): It can integrate the system dalvik cache into the system partition, and can also do a cleanup of the dalvik cache. Disadvantages: It does not integrates framework dalvik cache, and it's paid. Advantages: It's really stable, zero risk.

2. Using the reodexing script by TearsDontFalls. It's a totally automated script that reodexes the whole ROM. Disadvantages: It is a bit dangerous; you may modify the script a bit, and a full nandroid backup is recommended. Advantages: Can save about 15Mb+ more by integrating framework cache.

Titanium Backup can be found on Android Market. The reodexing script can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1402233

Also, if you want CWM Recovery on the stock ROM, try with this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1357026 .Note it's only for unlocked bootloader.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] tanwg82:
Thanks again Alvaroag! I will come back to this post once I get my Xperia Pro! Btw I have voted for a dedicated section for Pro. We need that.

Cannot find information about TEAM, any link?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] king-iyokan:
use official cyanogenmod 7.2.. everything works great except fm.. but if u love photography u will not be happy with the camera features..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] bootchee:
Take into consideration that if u update the phone to the latest firmware (.62) the Zergrush root method doesn't work. It does work with previous versions though.

If u want the latest firmware and root, u will need to unlock bootloader (http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/). Then u can flash any rooted rom.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] RamEsRock:
CM 7.2.0 for MK16 is working fast for me.

It makes more free space in RAM memory than stock ROM

(But you'll have to sacrifize the Bravia Engine and xLoud).

Also Riyal's Xperia Pro Ultima is another great option.

(Except for the FC problem with Play Store, which can be fixed installing another store).

Hmm, nice work Con ! so we just have to wait for Devs to adapt building the rom images to include the kernels again now correct ? I was thinking maybe this will help with flashing the new anthrax kernel that I am having a hard time getting to take. When would you wipe then ? after running the Ph98img.zip or after it reboots you to unprotected recovery ?
[HTC Rezound] evilstewie23:
Thanks Con. But we all know this is going to be asked so ill be the dummy to ask (here we go) So will this work with any recovery, even clockwork touch!!!!!:p:p

Sorry... I didn't really connect the dots on the whole zimage thing. I understand now :)
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Yes. For example, if you have an image for CWM touch called recovery.img, rename it to boot.img and swap it out with the boot.img in the PH98IMG.zip files.
[HTC Rezound] localceleb:
Noob proof now
[HTC Rezound] con247:

All I would do is reflash the same zip again?

[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
I remember reading in a thread several weeks back that there was a command you could type in ADB or fastboot that ran recovery with full permissions. But you had to actually know how to use ADB/Fastboot, so noobs would find it difficult.

This method will be a great no computer needed method, or for those who want to flash from a computer that they can not install ADB.

Darn good work Con.

Kernel flashing may remain an issue, but we have ways to do that already. Even if the kernel Devs had to package with the scripts that create a new PH93IMG, its better than nothing.

This is something I was just thinking about. I know with the 3D to get things flashed properly it was best to keep your recovery.img in your \sdk\tools\ folder and then

adb reboot bootloader

Are we able to use this same method to properly flash roms and kernels on the Rezound?

[HTC Rezound] scotty1223:
i softboot my recovery in this manner every time,i dont even keep one on the phone :eek:

i tried flashing a kernel in recovery(i had a 3d for a bit,too) and it appeared to work,but didnt change to the kernel version i used when i booted. however,im not 100% sure that i made the updater script correctly :o if someone wants to whip somethin up ill try it again :D

so if im understanding this PH98IMG correctly, the recovery is not permanently living in the boot particion,as the new kernel/boot install will overwrite it. so one keeps the PH98IMG on ones sd card,and simply boots to hboot for it to install whenever one wants to use recovery. correct?

interesting concpet :) ive just accepted that i cant screw with my rezound unless its hooked to a PC,but sounds like this has ome potential :cool:

edit: i just fastboot booted amon,made a backup,wiped data,system and boot,and restored a gingerbread backup. phone booted just fine,and the kernel version changed. so the recovery booted from fastboot definately wrote the kernel. :)
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
Yea I read that in the other thread! You know what this feels like? It feels like the manufacturers way of getting their monies worth out of us. As soon as the phone is released everyone complains for one reason or another, then between them and the dev's we get 1 piece at a time that we need to make it the device we actually enjoy!
