tnx! watermark removed on x64 version after changing a theme xD
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] :
I don't seem to be able to copy & replace the files. Says they are being used by another operation or says I don't have permission.

I installed the reg tweak, step 1 then went and took ownership of both files, step 2 & 3.

Then I closed explorer, Step 4. Next I open an explorer window, navigate to where I extracted the edited files, right-click on 1 at a time and navigate to the appropriate windows directory and right-click and paste. This is when the error prevents me from doing these 2 steps. I have tried the copy in command prompt (ran as admin) and same thing.

How can complete the next steps, error free?

Thanks

ok ! If i can elp :

1. Install the <InstallTakeOwnership.reg> from the Take Ownership

2. Take Ownership from the <shell32.dll.mui> file (located @ C:\Windows\System32\en-US)[i have a french version then i select fr-FR]

Right clic, then select TAKE OWNERSHIP...

A command prompt will pop up quickly...

Now you can right clic on DLL, go to SECURITY then select your account and EDIT ADMIN power then CHECK ALL FULL STUFF...

YOU HAVE ADMIN RIGHTS NOW !

3. Take Ownership from the <basebrd.dll.mui> file (located @ C:\Windows\Branding\Basebrd\en-US)[i have a french version then i select fr-FR]

Right clic, then select TAKE OWNERSHIP...

A command prompt will pop up quickly...

Now you can right clic on DLL, go to SECURITY then select your account and EDIT ADMIN power then CHECK ALL FULL STUFF...

YOU HAVE ADMIN RIGHTS NOW !

[NOT NEEDED ] 4. Close the Windows Explorer completely in order to let the <InstallTakeOwnership> work

5. Copy and replace the <shell32.dll.mui> from the Edited Files to C:\Windows\System32\en-US

6. Copy and replace the <basebrd.dll.mui> from the Edited Files to C:\Windows\Branding\Basebrd\en-US

7. Start the Command prompt with Administrator(right click) [You can have TWO Command Prompt, one standard & one with admin rights...]

8. Type mcbuilder and wait till its finished

9. Reboot !!

9 bis. CHANGE THEME & GO back to your theme... if watermark is still active

10. Enjoy !!!!

Is it safe to overclock the cpu on the virtuous quattro rc3 rom ?? Please help someone :)

Sent from my HTC Incredible S
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
Generally, it should be safe to overclock it by about 20%

I've fade mine at 1.2 ghz for a while and it's fine

I have it at 1.1 now for battery saving

There are many people who are done at 1.5+

I wouldn't cos I'm scared I will fry my phone or something

My advice would just be don't be stupid with it :) but it should be safe to overclock it a little.

[Windows 8 General] tboy2000:
Here is something I came up with:

Let's say you pin calculator or notepad to Metro desktop and you click on it to launch it. The app launches but with the standard desktop screen/wallpaper in the background which kind of spoils the whole new Metro look interface. Here is a way to get around that...

1. Press the 'printscreen' key on you keyboard to take an invisible screen capture of your Metro desktop.

2. Open 'Paint' application and press paste to paste your screenshot.

3. Save the screenshot to one of your folders.

4. Quit to standard desktop (not Metro) and right click on screen to Personalize and assign the screenshot as your desktop wallpaper.

From now on, everytime you launch a non Metro app, it will open up on what appears to be your Metro desktop, when in fact it is a fake Metro desktop. At least the transition between Metro and standard desktops is unified.

For the artistic ones, blur your screenshot using Photoshop or similar, before applying it as your wallpaper. Now when you launch an application like calculator or any other window app, the 'Metro' background will be out of focus and the opened windows app will be in focus. An artistic alternative :)
[Windows 8 General] mtmerrick:
While this is an epic idea, I can't do it, because I rearrange the metro icons a LOT. But I do love the idea, and I'm sure it'll work great for a lot of people. :)

Thank you! I guess you could do it once you have installed all the apps you want and finally satisfied with the layout ;-)

The brodit device from proclip linked above is what I used in my Audi a6 until I got a new car. Honestly it depends on how luxurious the car is .Even before I upgraded from the Audi that dock sitting next to some cherry wood looked ridiculous. This time around I didn't want to bothered and had the dealership put something more appropriate in the vehicle.

This is a Baseline - my initial starting position. Yeah I don't feel cool for running tons of unneeded stuff :) Actually after 15 hours of uptime I feel pretty bad and a slave of the charger.

I hope to tell more people in a single post what can be optimized, stripping off any superstition, voodoo and some pointless beliefs circulating in the web :)

I don't say "do like me", but instead what a great hardware SGS2 + core Android software actually seems to be ;)

Please also note I didn't limit myself to 1000MHz, do not recommend reducing voltages etc... the struggle is to put the software in control, not to cripple the experience.

Additionally, I have WiFi at work, at home, at the gym, and between them I'm driving... for that reason I don't need unlimited data. And for new mails I actually get SMS and know when to fetch the mail. If it's important I can turn on the data as well. On business trips abroad there is no unlimited data anyway too - only WiFi at the office and at the hotel. So there are different scenarios...

[Galaxy S II General] thez3ro:
Great tips mate... I knew many of them before but i will not use them so much.. I have a feeling that it criples my phone... Limiting my usage of the phone... Instead i have a custom rom,custom kernel ,an extra standard battery,car charger...

I even tryed once to apply most of your tips but they gave me a couple of hours extra batt life. My problem is network signal coverage-edge is fine(but who can surf on egde ?!? O.o ) ,3g and hspda signal is not so good (i travel a lot by car all over my country) and the phone keeps trying to get better network signal and uses more battery...

So most of your tips work if u want to criple your phone and if ur network has great coverage...
[Galaxy S II General] LNJ:
Using a slow scaling cpu governor defeats the purpose of battery savings. You want something that will scale up fast and scale down just as fast. That way the task gets completed quicker and the cpu can go back to an idle state faster.

Slower governors take longer to complete a task and that uses more battery.

I rather OnDemand complete something in 2 seconds jumping immediately to 1.2Ghz than Conservative in 4 seconds scaling it's way up each step and then scaling back down slowly.
[Galaxy S II General] gingingingin:
Not true if I'm typing notes. Ondemand will struggle to take me on high frequency, while I'm browsing the texts... Do you need high frequency when reading forums?

Actually I have no problem to play Asphalt 6 and Angry Birds on 1200MHz with this setup :)
[Galaxy S II General] LNJ:
It takes you more cpu cycles to get Asphalt or Angry Birds fully loaded with Conservative than it would with OnDemand.

And you have to remember we have dual-core cpus. It's to your benefit to get both cores scaled up faster to finish the task.

You don't notice this as much because the difference is probably in the milliseconds. But Conservative is more of a power hog than OnDemand.
[Galaxy S II General] OrrPenn18:
Wow, thats massive and informative! Too good job Sir! Hats Off! :D
[Galaxy S II General] gingingingin:
Agree. All that advice is mostly targeted to battery conscious people, this is not a gaming setup :) There is no one best configuration for all.

It's also not about what exact values to choose, but what approach to take for battery life improvement.
[Galaxy S II General] LNJ:
Can't wait to run a UV kernel once the sources drop. That there helps quite a bit to conserve battery.
[Galaxy S II General] jonny68:
I know pretty much all of this already but it's a useful guide for noobs for sure.

I don't bother anymore with SetCPU or any of that anymore and to be honest it's had little or no impact on battery life which is still excellent.
[Galaxy S II General] ksilver89:
Regarding battery charging, I wonder have you read this article before : batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries (please add http)

The fact seems to be completely opposite from your theory in 2.6.4.
[Galaxy S II General] gingingingin:
Not sure, the battery article is a bit doubtful. For me at least the testing sequence is strange:

1. Charging current of 1C is a bit high, to say the least. Quick chargers have never been optimal for any type of batteries.

2. Discharge current of 1C is huge and far from being realistic for a mobile phone.

Also if we interpret the results it becomes that at 10% DoD we get 4700 small cycles, which is close to 100% DoD with 500 big cycles... Actually the results are in favor of the 100% DoD.

Of course my interpretation can be wrong, but so far I have got the opposite idea of that.

For practical purposes I can give an example of a Nokia Li-Ion battery thoroughly fully discharged and for 2 years it retained at least 80% capacity. I'd estimate the number of cycles to be 120-150.

On my current laptop the ThinkPad Panasonic battery was always almost completely discharged via settings, attaching screenshots. At 328 cycles and 3.5 years since first use it retains 88% of the design capacity. This is quite a good achievement for a tortured battery I'd say ;)

Note: See the advice/sentence written in the top box by my good old IBM manufacturer (now Lenovo). "... battery deterioration may occur faster if the battery is constantly charged at 100%. Lowering the charge thresholds ... will help increase its lifespan". These guys know their job... I think their sentence almost surely relates to storage though. Storage at 50% is much better than storage at 100% charge. There is room for interpretation again.

Note: This is my second battery on this laptop, the first one Sanyo was a bit worse with the same treatment (maybe older technology) and after 2 years its electronics suddenly failed, while at around 150 cycles.
[Galaxy S II General] gingingingin:
First of all, thanks for the detailed explanation of the states.

I remember from the school/uni that the power used is proportional to the frequency. If we have static consumption in the chip it will not be affected by changing the frequency, but the dynamic part of the consumption is essentially doubled when running on 200MHz compared to 100MHz. I don't know the ratio dynamic_consumption:static_consumption for my chip, but it may be around 1:1.

The formulas were something like that: http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=119229

I'm a fairly heavy user of my phone, wifi, 3G, sat-nav for when I'm cycling or the GF's tomtom throws a fit, bluetooth headphones etc.

But by keeping stuff like 3G, WiFi and BT OFF while I don't need them, and leaving tasks to manage themselves, I get a comfortable 2 days of use, 3 days if I use it less than normal, and the week I dropped it behind the couch and couldn't be bothered digging it out for a few days, it lasted 4 days 3 hours.

I have Voltage Control, and keep everything between 200mhz and 500mhz at all times. Unless I want to go mad and play games or something, I simply do not require all that CPU power - and neither do most users I suspect. My use is Internet, camera, sat-nav when I want to record my cycle routes. None of that needs much in the way of CPU.
