Entropy..

this is an app I'm developing... and struggling with. I will move this to Q/A if that makes sense. Given that it was low-level information, I thought this was the right spot, so I apologize that I came here.

Note that I've been having this trouble for a while and had no luck on CM7 either (see http://www.setera.org/2011/12/27/deadlocked/). I actually have a CM7 build for Captivate on my laptop, but not for GSII. On Captivate the crash was intermittent. On GSII it seems pretty consistent which has me hopeful I might finally get to the bottom of this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Since it was an app you were developing, it could've remained in Dev. Oh well, it's OK here.

I'll try and see if there's any better way to debug something like that. Interesting, an app shouldn't be causing stuff in /system to crash. :) (Unless you're doing native development.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Divine_Madcat:
Technically, despite the deep technical level of the question, at this point, it is still a question.

To be totally valid for the Dev forum, it must be phone development related. Unless it is a Kernel, Rom, or Rooting/Flashing/Unlocking specific app, it still would not belong in Dev; the appropriate place would be the app forum.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] csetera:
It appears that this is somehow related to the garbage collector. I can consistently get the crash on my GS II and every time it happens, it is proceeded by a GC.

Does this ring any bells? Does anyone have thoughts on how to work around this problem?

Thanks,

Craig

Hello, I have backups of stock ibhave made through CWM recovery. I was wondering if my stock kernel .Zip is in that backup. If not can someone show me where I can get a copy of the stock kernel?

Yeah cheers man.

I used this. It reset it. But I don't know the build numbers for stock. Also, I don't know its like a pure kernel or is altered or not, depending on the rom.

Just a clean pure stock kernel. = )

Thanks guys.

Does anyone know the build numbers?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmanUV:
The reset kernel is the same as stock but it may have a different signature. It doesn't affect the functionality but if you want to send your phone in for warranty then you should flash google's factory images in fastboot. If you do, don't forget to flash the new radios for your region afterwards since the factory images include the XXK6 radio.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lambetts:
Thanks for your reply man.

That's true. I spose I'm after a pure kernel for just stability etc. I get funny behaviour from custom kernels and I'd like a pure unaltered copy of the 4.0.3 kernel. That's all. Haha. Hope I'm making sense.

Hi all,

I have a defective Note (charger/battery acting up). I want to exchange it tomorrow.

Currently, I have installed apps, emails, etc on the phone. What is the best way for me to restore it to defaults (factory settings) without connecting to the computer?

I've been looking around the settings option and I can't find anything.

Will I have to use Odin to restore?

This phone has never been rooted or anything like that.

I had the same issue, and I took it back to BB, my 2nd note is slow, nothing like my first one. youtube video's are jittery, apps i have to keep hitting retry to connect for example the market and youtube. Hope you have better luck with your 2nd one!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] keplenk:
Oh damn.. sorry to hear that. I actually rooted it right now just for testing it. Unfortunately, I was unable to UNroot .. but I've uninstalled Superuser which I think I'll be safe when it will be replaced.

This note works perfectly in terms of speed and those stuff. It is just the charger + battery. I probably think its connected. First the charger, when you plug in the wall, it won't charge. You have to unplug-replug for about 10 times and it will charge. With regards to battery. It does not even last 8 hours (7 hours idle - 1 hours of LIGHT use). You can use it 1.5 hours straight of light use before it asks you to replug it to the wall. So yeah .. its either Charger or Battery.

Wish me luck

I am trying to download an app called Comic Strips by Vasken http://market.android.com/search?q=pname:com.vasken.comics and I am on CM7 so I thought it would work but I can't get the app to show up. It's a free app but it is protected so I can't back it up from my phone and install it. So my question is how can I get it installed? Can I edit my build.prop file? If so how?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
There's a thread in the apps forum on modifying build.prop. But did you try just copying the apk out of /data/app on your phone? That has worked for me before.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] LiGhTMaGiCk:
Well I have figured out that it is because the app is protected/private but the better reason is that when I got the app installed following the advice to just pull it from /data/app/ (it was actually in /data/app-private/ though) it ended up being in a little box about the size of a phone screen LOL :confused: funny looking but it is useless due to the size I might as well just use my phone for it.

I love my 8.9 way better than the Acer Iconia A500 that I came from, and I totally love it way more that my brothers iPad2. What I do worry about for Android in the tablet space is Windows 8 on tablets, especailly if they make some with intel chips.

If made with intel chips I might have the option to play my favorite old school rpgs which Android and Apple both do not have. Granted I'm only coming at this from one perspective, but others might be thinking the samething for another reason.

I don't think that I would ever buy a Windows or iOS phone though.

So I am seeing a lot of posts saying that ICS has smoother screen transition.

This is in fact not true.

I know you guys don't want to feel disappointed about something you've been constantly crying about for the last 3 months but get real.

Try any of the HD quality live wallpapers(not the included ones). Screen transition is just as choppy as it was on Honeycomb. No improvement what so ever. Could be even worse.

This was tested on a TF101 that was factory reset before flashing a full(not update) ICS. No old apps or anything that could possibly hinder the performance.

Guess what makes screen transition smooth as butter on ICS? Using a 3rd party launcher app, just like it did on HC.

Back when people were crying everyday and spamming the forums about Asus not releasing ICS for TF101, their biggest and commonly used justification for their incessant whining was that ICS will make everything fast.

Really? So far I haven't seen any noticeable improvement in performance.

What did I notice? Different looking status bar and the ability to swipe things away. Oh and a few more options in the settings.

Oh yes, this was so worth all that crying.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mrevankyle:
Live wallpapers are very inefficient and have always caused problems especialy with larger screens

ICS is smoother as it has been redesigned and not quickly hacked together like honeycomb was and if you don't notice it well then you should just get an iPad

I would suggest deleting your post before you start a flamewar
[Eee Pad Transformer General] horndroid:
3rd party launcher app makes screen transition smooth even with HD live wallpapers, on both ICS and HC.

smoother.

Nope, I don't want an ipad. Never liked apple ****. I love Android for its freedom and flexibility.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] nightwulf:
Chrome Beta is the tits. Much better than stock or any of the other browsers I've tried. So there's that.

I don't know why everyone's in such an uproar over how smooth their launcher scrolling is. I'm more interested in how the apps perform than how pretty it looks when I launch those apps.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] raduque:
You're almost not worth debating.

Live wallpapers are inefficient

Live wallpapers do horrifying things to ****ty SoCs

Tegra2 is a ****ty SoC

So no matter what Tegra2 will suck with any lwp, and really bad ones will suck worse. BTW, get yourself a copy of Kitteh Face Software's Jungle LWP...then tell me how smooth your special launcher is. Jungle even brings my GS2's Exynos to its knees.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] raduque:
I never used tat one on Honeycomb, but scrolling with it on ICS is quite acceptable, even while playing music.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jawnsixteen:
Silly, it wasn't the smoother transitions I was looking for in Ice Cream Sandwich, but rather the numerous other improvements made across the system like:

more options and developer controls, redesigned apps and better theming throughout, features like face unlock and forced hardware acceleration, and of course the ability to install ics only apps like Chrome!

Ice Cream Sandwich runs like an absolute dream on the TF101. Anyone who thinks otherwise hasn't done a full wipe, hasn't used a TF101 with ics, or is just straight hating.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Drybonz:
I don't use any live wallpapers... screen transitions are great... much better than Honeycomb.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] player911:
This is a KNOWN issue with ICS. Even on the Galaxy Nexus, some Live Wallpapers are horrible. It's something to do with the way their coded. Once the developer updates and supports ICS, the LWP will be smooth.

The problem has to do with "Wallpaper Scrolling" from the launchers. If you Disable wallpaper scrolling, the LWP will also be smooth.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] horndroid:
I never said live wallpapers are efficient. Why are you so defensive? Lol.

My point was that ICS did not improve screen transition to a noticeable degree, contrary to what others are saying. I just used as an example the live wallpaper and the fact that 3rd party launcher apps are able to achieve what ICS or HC can't.

If you read my entire post, it's not about live wallpapers or screen scrolling.

What I am pointing out is that all those ****tards, who spammed this forum with their QQ and whine about Asus not releasing ICS and how ICS was going to be something super amazing, should realize that their QQing was just a big waste of time. ICS is literally just a minor update. Really brings nothing new to the table. Really not worth all that crying and waiting.

I am testing tons of apps right now. I really don't see any noticeable improvement in performance except a few trivial things that were already achieved on HC with 3rd party apps.

Unfortunate for you I guess. My transformer is definitely more responsive. Is it so amazing I'd die without it? No. But all in all the keyboard is definitely more responsive. I love ICS for the many other little but lovely changes to Android as a whole.

But to speak to your point, yes ... alot of those " QQ ****tards " who are disappointed, well good! Idk why people would think an OS update would give them blowjobs or end world hunger.

I'm happy for what it has brought. Though I wasn't dying for ICS since I had it on my vibrant so I already knew what was in store
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ShockTherapy:
I have the light grid LWP on my 101, and it was fin in HC, and it's just as fine in ICS. Don't see what all the hubbub is about.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] BarryH_GEG:
The low-level code for ICS is the same as 3.0 (HC) which has always supported h/w acceleration. People coming from GB will see a bigger benefit. Here's a great article from Dianne Hackborn, a Google engineer, that explains how Android handles graphics. Memory bandwidth is the biggest constraint and Teg2's pretty weak in that area and doesn't support NEON. In other words, s/w can only go so far.

Don't feed the troll, people. He's just trying to get a rise out of you...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] MrGuy:
I've not installed ICS due to waiting for a dev ROM, but if there's one thing i've learnt in this "capitalist western culture" it's that "the customer is always right." A lot of the comments regarding the new ICS are generally negative, some people say it's smoother, but a lot of posts are negative and critical of the new asus update.

This could be because this is dev forum, e.g. the whole point of it is to make things better: things aren't made better through praise: "you can't fatten a pig by observing how fat it is" - it's worth noting any observation, yours included, is subjective.

So my response to you would be: go troll somewhere else. We are better than the customer, we are relatively informed, and we are "right." Any consistent reoccuring complaint on this forum is more genuine than any other feedback because it comes from informed individuals that know about the back and front end of android and the TF101.

Using terminology such as "****tards" is insulting and inacurate. If the general consensus from this forum is that the update is less than adequate, then this is the correct and most valid opinion. These forums are here for constructive criticism with the aim of improving things, not for the insults and belittling of the community such as featured in your post.

Regardless of if you see this as a minor update, if this forum says it should be a major update, then I would go as far as saying this forum represents more than the typical customer base and that ASUS is at fault for not releasing a suitable update - go troll them, don't disrespect the members of this community that have worked so hard to be critical, creative and constructive with the TF101, unlike yourself.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tweaked:
While I don't see a reason to make a thread about it; he isn't crazy. The forum is insane about nothing. IMHO ics is hardly an upgrade. Stuff isn't supported, things are buggy, and tons of noob questions and answers are everywhere. For what? Not much of anything. I'm sure it will be great in the future, but all this hoopla for less , is....odd. /shrug.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] MrGuy:
I'd say there is a difference between giving criticism, giving constructuve criticism and calling the entire community a bunch of "****tards" like OP did. Saying we're a bunch of ****tards is useless to the development and consequently useless to the community, rendering the post useless.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tweaked:
Agreed. There is no reason to be outright rude. Like I said, I don't even see the need for the thread. But it is crazy here lol..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] horndroid:
You need to work on your reading comprehension, or memory.

My comments were never directed at the

. Just those who incessantly whined and cried about not getting ICS on the false basis that ICS is something incredible.
