Hey guys. Just wondering if we have a legit overclock yet. I havent been on this forum in a very long time because ive been very busy. I remember there was a thread for it a long time ago but it gave me trouble and never worked for me. Any suggestions?
[Motorola Droid 3] leerpsp:
In the ics cm9 rom there is a built in over clocking in the system menu I know because I have used it but be very careful using it
[Motorola Droid 3] jarzy00:
Thanks man
[Motorola Droid 3] leerpsp:
Ok man any time
[Motorola Droid 3] mikedyk43:
There are settings in CM9 for CPU control, however overclocking is NOT built in. There is a sticky on this on Droid Forums in their development section for D3, but honestly it is poorly written. If you need help with this, PM me and I will give you a complete walk through on how to accomplish it.
[Motorola Droid 3] whiterabbit1:
yes i could actually use the help

I got my d3 runnin 4.0.4 ics cm9 I was hoping to achive overclock and underclock please some one write something on this its so tough to find a way to do this I've been looking for a script Ican just flash so come on guys let's do this please:good: I tried to use terminal to accomplish but I'm new to it so throw me a bone

Ok so I'm at work and I go to start Pandora to blast out some jams. Then one of my coworkers on a Samsung galaxy nexus s on at&t happens to do the same and his started up WAY faster then mine. Anyone else that uses Pandora notice this before?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] joefrog1996:
He has 4g LTE (10X faster than 3g). But that phone sucks becuase it dies in 6 hours and can't keep up if you charge and use it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Gr8Jeepin:
I've noticed this also. I don't think it has anything to do with what "G" your on. was using Tunein radio an wasn't having any loading issues. Could just be a Pandora problem. What ROM r u running. I switched to MikRunny from TSM GingerBliss. I don't remember having those issues before. Good luck

I am new to the android developement. I been reading tutorials , learning and testing.

I am making my own personal app , and I need to know how to generate a string of letters and letters between A-Z and 0-9.

I want a button to generate a a string of 9 Characters between A-Z , 0-9 and when its generated it shows it in a plain text box.

If somebody could help this would be apreciated.

Also with this code I'll be able to learn from it and use it in other apps !

... The camera, Coming from an HTC device with 0 shutter lag is painful. Especially since 90 % of my pictures are of my 10month old daughter, the 1-3 seconds between the time i press the shutter button and when it actually snaps is killing me. Then it doesn't help that it freezes and shows the picture i want but then save the frame from 2sec. Later, please tell me this isn't the norm and i need to send it back
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rich250:
I hate to say it but it seems to be normal for the camera,mine is the same way,if you want a fast camera try this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spritefish.fastburstcameralite&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5zcHJpdGVmaXNoLmZhc3RidXJzdGNhbWVyYWxpdGUiXQ.. that is the free version which don't allow any settings to be changed like the paid version but it is super fast.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] johnus:
I'm hoping ICS will fix this. It IS painfully slow...sometimes it takes as much as 5 seconds before it has written the image and I can take another.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Chief Geek:
I feel your pain man, but have bad news for you. Them lil monsters dont slow down any, so you better learn to live by the motto "accuracy through volume". I have twin 2.5 year olds. I just start tapping that shutter button and dont bother with the preview, just snap snap snap and hope for the best.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gmoooney:
I have noticed severe shutter lag as well. I thought it was the ROM I was using (TPC) but found the same thing with both Saurom and stock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] keilbaca:
That's what I do with action shots with any camera. Preview is nice, but you're best off to fire off shots, then sort through the pics later. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] baudilus:
Camera360 doesn't do this, so I'm guessing it's something wrong with the OS build.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 00mred00:
Its the camera app...not the camera. I have been playing with camera apps from other devices like the skyrocket and they work with no lag but the ui is off (size/ resolution difference)

Someone pulled the ics camera app and posted in the apps section a while back btw

hmm... interesting

i just tested, it's not as exageratd as 3 mili sec lag, but it does take at least 1 mili sec before you are able to shoot again

i say it's intresting because on the T989 which have practically the same innars except for the high res screen, and LTE radio

the camera on the T989 is instant, i can shoot non stop, 0 mili sec lag

how can i change the Android Dialer ? how can i change the look and style of dialpad ? i've seen GingerFroyo it's a Froyo Rom but got the look of a Gingerbread dialer. i want to know how to that. im using a FireRat's CM7 Magpie Rom and i want my dialpad to be look like ICS. i know that there are some dialers that can be download on the market. but i'm content with the default dialer. i just want to edit the look. so what do i need to full from the rom? the phone apk or the contact apk? and what do i need to change???
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android311:
Phone.apk is where you need to be :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DorianX:
You need to open contacts.apk and phone.apk with: 7-Zip or decompiled with: Apk_Manager and you have to change almost all pngs on \res\drawable-mdpi\ and \res\drawable-mdpi-finger\ from some ICS theme

i have succesfully gone back to stock on my sgs after messing up my imei from flashing dark knight ics , i want to flash this rom again but without messing up my efs this time round can anyone explain how to do this safely without lossing the abilty to make calls again , aby guide to flashing this properly will be aprrciated
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scubadude:
Make a back up of your EFS folder then there will be no problem if you loose IMEI number.

Personally I usually do the following. For any flash although the best is to follow instructions on thread for particular ROM. This presumes you already have a rooted phone with CWM.

Lots recommend taking sim & external sd card out. I don't do this but it is recommended.

1. Make a Nand backup

2. Turn on phone & ensure usb debugging is on.

3. Connect phone to pc & copy everything from my internal sd card onto my pc and place it into a samsung folder with today's date.

4. Place the ROM & Kernel I wish to flash into the root file of my internal sd card.

5. Restart phone into Recovery.

6. Do a factory reset, clear cache & clear dalvick cache.

7. Select install zip from sd card -> choose zip from sd card -> select desired ROM & install.

8. Do factory reset, clear cache, clear dalvick - (may not be unnecessary but it can't do any harm)

9. If I am installing a different Kernel I repeat step 7 & 8 this time selecting the kernel.

10. reboot phone connect to my Google account to get my contacts, calendar, mail etc.

11. let the phone settle for a while & then reboot the phone a couple more times for good measure.

12. use titanium backup to restore my apps.

If I have any strange bugs that don't appear to be reported in the thread I will often flash the ROM a second time to be sure I didn't have an issue during the process.

If I am updating a kernel after running the phone for a while I usually run lipols kernel cleaning script and the follow step 7 to flash the kernel & then restart.

Please note that any flash could corrupt IMEI so it is important to always have a backup.

[Verizon Droid Charge] HTCluva:
Hey everyone. I don't like tw 4.5 cause I think its buggy. The launcher in infinity is good but it isn't just a simple apk copy and paste. Do you.know of any other tw4 launchers compatable with the charge
[Verizon Droid Charge] cnoevl21:
I've asked this before myself and from what I've been told there is no way to just add TW4 to any ROM. I think it needs to be cooked into a ROM and a whole bunch of stuff needs to be tweaked to get it to work properly. Obviously IMNUTS would be able to answer this way better than me.

Other than infinity, I know the old version of eclipse runs TW4, but its way outdated.
[Verizon Droid Charge] HTCluva:
Yeah that's what imnuts said. He said he cooked his is. It would be nice if someone ported just the launcher without the stuff of tw 4.5
[Verizon Droid Charge] cnoevl21:
Maybe there is a go launcher that is just like tw4?
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
Go launcher themes change how stuff looks, not how the launcher functions.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbradley51:
I have a Nexus S 4G that was running Gingerbread 2.3.7, I installed ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0 and aokp_crespo4g_build-27.zip & gapps-ics-20120212-signed.zip.

Everything worked fine for a few days then I started having errors so I panicked and decided to revert back to gingerbread. The only build I could find,(my 'backup' turned out to be bad), was one_click_stock.zip from "[SCRIPT] [NS4G] [UPDATED] One Click Return to stock V2.0". Not exactly sure what I did wrong but it bombed out while I was attempting to install it.

I can still talk to the phone via the usb cable and "mount USB storage" selection in the ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0. However, Run.bat in 'return to stock' can't find the phone, when I try to run it.

I know I was a dumbshxx for playing with something I didn't really understand, but if there is anyway to restore my phone to the stock OS, I will do whatever is needed. I am more than willing to mail it in if someone is willing to see if they can repair my screw-up.

Thanks, Richard B.

Metalhead, to me sounds like the FBI is asking Google for a default code that Samsung has. Direct quote from article.

"The warrant requires Google to turn over Samsung’s “default code"

Ooops, my bad. I missed that line. I was referring to the quote in the middle of the article where they were asking google for his gmail password. I guess I was the one who didn't read the article ROFL.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
They also couldn't bypass a simple security lock and asked google for the guys ssn number...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gharlane00:
The warrant is trying to cover all the bases and just attempt to compel Google to unlock the phone by whatever means.

Apparently too many failed attempts with the pattern lock triggered a lockdown that requires his Google login and password to get in.

I am more disturbed by the fact that a simple ADB command can turn off the screenlock. Makes stealing a phone a whole lot simpler.

Hopefully someone here can help! I have never bricked any of my devices. But this one has me totally wiped out. Apparently I have corrupted the partitions somehow. I have tried every method on here and nothing seems to work. I did this once before but was able to adb into parted and fix. Now I can occasionally get the command prompt to start but very seldom. If I could access the command prompts then possibly someone could get me through this problem. I thought Adam's method was going to work after letting it run all night. It got by the mlo writing and hung at the system. Oh well! Says no fat 32 is one error when trying to run the parted fix.

Here is the other error.

E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/by-name/cache

I generally can read from what everone posts and get things working but this time is a no go. Oh yeah forgot to mention I can boot the latest CM7 off sd card. I just need my EMMC working. Yeppers that's what I need. Otherwise I'm just going to use it as a frisbie or oversized hockey puck.

Thanks!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jmeyerhead:
I had a customer brick his trying to partition it as well. (I'm the sales manager at Barnes and Noble) I flashed the 1.4.0 acclaim update on an sd card and it restored it. Not sure if he was using the same method as you but it's worth a shot.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Know-Fear:
If this happened while you were trying to repartition, I would suggest using AdamOutlers ubuntu recovery oprion from the development page. This will reset all of your partitions to original settings.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] signinfailed:
@jmeyerhead - I tried the acclaim_update. Didn't work. Was hoping I could make it work from SD Card. Apparently that's not possible. Unless someone can tell me how with cm7 running from card. Thanks J....

@know_fear - I wasn't trying to partition. I think what happened was when I went to storage I went down the list and hit unmount from the list in all the locations. Why? Don't know! Just seeing what would happen. Well I found out what happened. Boat anchor. I did try adamOutlers ubuntu recovery several times. It made it through mlo wiping finally but hung at system. Let it run for about 12 hours. Made the card using windows. Would making the card in Ubuntu possibly make a difference? You can tell I'm not a pro at this but I manage to read and get around a little. I did try the parted script. But says no fat 32 if I remember right. Now I can't even get daemon to start running so I can throw in some commands. Oh well! Still open to more suggestions. Thanks again guys!

Thanks know-fear
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Know-Fear:
In all honesty it seems like the parted script should work. If you have a spare sdcard, I would try to put the parted script on that. Boot into the recovery from your original sdcard. Once there, remove that card and insert the one with the parted script on it and try to rerun it. Not sure what else to try. Perhaps you can PM CelticWebs and he may have more insight. Otherwise drop by the IRC channel on freenode (nook-tablet). Indirect and Frustro (servergod) might be able to help more than I.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
Yes parted will work and will fix your problem no need to do use a factory restore method. That error means that your cache partition does not have name I don't know how for the life of you got to remove it's name but by just giving it's name "cache" back should fix it.

Post a print of parted here to check the partitions and I'll tell you what to do.

@Veronica and @know-fear--I can't even connect to use commands. Not sure why it won't work. Sometimes it does and then it doesn't. I'm not very proficient in terminal with adb commands so I would need a bit of help there :) My evo connects just fine when plugged in so it's reading phone drivers. When I plug in the NT under Disk drives it shows B&N NOOK Tablet USB Device twice also shows up as Generic STORAGE DEVICE USB Device. Nothing shows up in Computer like when I plug in my evo it says Android USB Devices and under that My HTC. I used your post Veronica to set it up to see all my devices a long time ago and worked great. But ever since I had this problem nothing is going right. I can't even remember what commands I used to get it to read parted and as for installing or pushing not real sure about that. Everything NT related for adb I put in a folder called NTRoot. So much for the book report haha! Thanks for helping and hopefully helping more.

You need Adams total wipe method that should recover your partitions and get you back to stock or if someone has the partition images for 16gb NT even better as is faster.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] signinfailed:
Veronica,

I have used Adams total wipe method 3 or 4 times. Sure seems like it's a great program and probably works for lots of people. But just hasn't worked for this messed up tablet. I have let it run for hours. Maybe it just needs to run for several days since this thing is in such bad shape. It does get past writing zero's to mlo but seems to hang at system. So in your opinion should I just let it run and run? I thought it only was supposed to take about 15 minutes. Any ideas on where to locate the partition images for 16gb NT?
