Go read up on safestrap. Follow the link in the safestrap thread to HashCode's site explaining it. Basically you will install CM9 to your "safe" system and dualboot. That way you can return to stock whenever you want.
[Motorola Droid 4] RueTheDayTrebek:
Back to stock...

There is a program called Safestrap, which works and looks a lot like Clockworkmod. Be careful, though, because I accidentally bricked my brand new Droid 4 through an error by not saving the webtop to the backup files.

If you're an adventurer, and you want to contribute, I say go for it. Eventually they will come out with fastboot files for your phone if you brick it. However, I had to go back to Amazon for a replacement phone, which was over-nighted, and I get to keep the soft-brick for 40 business days to tinker around with it.

So you paid some money for the phone, and are a little gun shy, right? My advice, start by rooting the phone, disabling the non-essential apps, change the launcher around, upping the screen resolution, and doing what you can to make the motoblur livable, for the time being. Give it a month or two and we'll have roms aplenty... unlocked bootloaders galore.

If you do brick your phone, it's likely you'll be able to hang on to your phone, and just reflash it when the time is right.

Cheers.
[Motorola Droid 4] punkonjunk:
We can change the resolution? How would we do that, and how do we tinker with the launcher? Seemed pretty locked down.
[Motorola Droid 4] omniuni:
I think he means you can change the DPI, which you can do by going to the "/system" directory, and editing "build.prop". You should create a backup, and then edit the original such that ro.sf.lcd density is your desired DPI. Then save, reboot, and you should have your changes.
[Motorola Droid 4] RueTheDayTrebek:
First off, your screen will look 10 times better when you're in an ICS rom. The overlay and bloatware are all horribly configured for the Droid 4 and other screens.

Root your phone, and just search for screen resolution in the google play app, you'll find some stuff to that is easy to understand. Tinker around with it. Download the CM spareparts app for some decent tinkering stuff. Rooting can help, and a little extra time can make the current stock rom livable until ICS comes out.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] C64assembly:
I successfully ran V6 SUPERCHARGER using the terminal emulator in Cm7. Had to switch to Hackers keyboard to type the command sh V6* which starts the script from the root of sd card. I used the first v6 script posted and was very conservative to avoid any boot loops. i am benchmarking system and running some favorite apps to see if it is a winner or not. So far system booting faster and seems real snappy! There is a CM7 and CM9 version but I would DEFINITELY have a backup sd card ready and know your way in ADB in case something goes wrong. Remember to eject/ reinsert your card if you cant access your sd.

So far no problems. Gui is faster, internet is faster, games and apps load faster. Very good hack.

Videos

BE WARNED! it seems the sacrifice you make for a faster deaktop is slightly broken Ducati hardware acceleration. I am not sure if it is just an issue with .flv,s or affects other media types. The Youtube videos sometimes refuse ro play in HD but will play in HD if you dwselect HD with an occasional hickup. Not sure if it is the way this rom accesses Ducati and the way this script modifies memory management.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] admiralspark:
Interesting. Ill take a look at the source and see if theres any special tweaks to be made.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] C64assembly:
Thank you. It would br a good find for our community and would put us on par with the other Xda developer sites.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] O_G:
Moved To General​

As the OP contains no development, this should be in the General section​
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] admiralspark:
It uses fairly moderate values for the tweaks, I can verify that not only does it not brick the tablet, but the tweaks it can apply actually work. I've noticed about a 20% improvement in memory management, along with i/o improvements (which is weird, though I assume it's due to the memory tweaks and overall improved system response).

On the flip side, it has by far the most annoying, frustrating attempt at a text UI that I've ever encountered, using literally about a hundred separate sleep functions. Still, cool find.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] C64assembly:
incorporate

Thanks. I have read where the Devs are just incorporating the memory tweaks into the rom directly.
[Android General] SealsNavie:
I was wondering if this app is reasonable to learn how to program and create apps, being an extreme novice (I mean that at the lowest level) and having very little patience and giving up so easily, maybe its a good thing to try and learn for 10 minutes here and there when having free time, what do you people think?

Here is the link to the app so you know what app I am talking about https://play.google....bS5haWRlLnVpIl0.

Any feedback or advice welcome, whether its positive or negative, thank you.
[Android General] new ion?:
having been in this situation....

it takes MUCH longer than 10 mins to try to figure something out. i personally think that programming is NOT for you.

I'm not going to attempt to crush your dreams or anything, but I know from personal experience and from watching my friends in my classes, that if you have little patience, expect little results.
[Android General] russianzilla:
Pretty much this. I've been learning Java for some time now, and I can tell you that it's not something you can learn in "10 minutes here and there," especially if you're new to programming. Since I'm assuming this will be your first programming language, you'll have to grasp the basic concepts first, then implement them in Java. Of course, once you've learned concepts, picking up languages is quicker; it's like human languages, where the meanings are the same, but the words and grammar are different. Either way, it's not something you can do without patience.

Oh, and that app won't actually teach you anything. It'll allow you to write programs, sure, but it won't teach you how to do it. If you want to learn Java, get a book or look up lessons online. And you might want to do your coding on a computer first. It's more convenient.
[Android General] cmat1120:
Just to add my thoughts: I have never made an app for anything before, but I have been wanting to try and start making android apps. When I saw this app in the market I got pretty excited and decided to finally attempt it. Now obviously what everyone else said is true, it is not easy...at all! lol, but if you want to spend the time and learn then this app is a really cool( and I think pretty easy) way to make apps. I mean...its an app used to make other apps :D . The main thing is to not get discouraged by how difficult it may be and instead get help when you're stuck. I'm in highschool and the computer science teacher there happens to be working with android this year so I often go to him for help. I think actually talking to people who know a bit about android is the best way to get help, but I'm sure books and online lessons could help as well.

Basically the point of all of that ^^^ is this: This is a pretty good app for making apps. It won't teach you how to do it, but if you do want to learn then this is a great tool to do so.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pakron:
Never been able to install CWM since upgraded my tf101 B50 to ICS. It worked before ICS.

I am now using 9.2.1.17 and rooted using PrimeTime. I had installed RecoveryInstaller in 9.2.1.11 and it did not worked. Now in 9.2.1.17 I tried installing RecoveryInstaller again and it said 'App installed.' When I go to recovery using vol- + power then vol+, I got a yellow android laying down with a red traingle (with exclamation) on top of it. I got the same thing using 9.2.1.11.

Any suggestion much appreciated. Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
After yo have install the RecoveryInstaller app, did you open the app and flash CWM recovery?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pakron:
After installation, I did not open. I selected done and power off to go to recovery.

I am not sure what is meant by 'did you open the app and flash CWM recovery?'

I thought CWM is already installed after installation. This worked before ICS.

What is meant by flash CWM recovery? Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
The RecoveryInstaller app help to install CWM recovery.

After you are done with installing the RecoveryInstaller, go to the app drawer and find the app, click on it to open. you should now see a button that say "Flash Recovery" or something similar. Click on it to install CWM recovery.

Your TF should reboot and you'll see the blue progress bar.

Many thanks, I though its a one click installer!

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Madrenergic:
Hi everyone!

As we all know, we're drawing close to the magical two-year anniversary since the Galaxy S was first released. Given all the time that has passed, our screen probably has seen pretty heavy usage, and as we know AMOLEDs degrade with use, it seems pretty inevitable that as time wears on, more and more people will be encountering burn-in on their screens. I'm sure that as XDA users, lots of us use our phone much more than the average layperson, and given an even more select group of us are diehard power users, a few of us would have noticed it much, much earlier.

Other forums have their own *****ing threads about burn-in, so I decided to create this thread for people to discuss their own experiences on the Galaxy S. Have any of you encountered your screen burning in yet? What's the silliest burn-in that you know of? Were you even aware that your AMOLED screen could burn in? I'm pretty sure some poor chap thought he could use his Galaxy S as a bedside clock, and wound up with a clockface permanently branded into his screen. :D

I'll start the ball rolling: I use a pure black status bar on my phone, as is typical of most custom ROMs here, so I have a clear bluish strip along the top of my screen. Blue AMOLEDs have a shorter half-life than red or green, so as the AMOLEDs on the rest of the screen slowly fade with use and become gradually and imperceptibly less bluish, the ones at the top of my screen are preserved, hence the strange appearance. This should be a farely common pattern of burn-in, so I would be surprised if many people don't have it as well. :p
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Skmcheung:
Yep ditto on blue ghostly status bar burn-in here :p

It's not really visible over 10% brightness so it hasn't really bothered me though :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SysTem-X:
My SGS has the SMS layout burnt onto my screen as well. It's not very obvious, but you can see "shadows" of it if you view the phone's screen from a certain angle with a white background.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] itspb:
I always use my phone in lowest brights possible, hence there is not much burn in for my screen. Only a little bit burn in where status bar's clock is. Other than that, nothing noticeable. :-D

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Волк:
Hello,

Here is my no longer new wipe tool, inspired by the G2x Scrubber.

The Nullifier.

This uses a special command in combination with a special file to overwrite the internal partitions with 0's, hence "Null" for 0 and "-ifier" for the fact that it does the action of the root word to something else. It also formats *all* the partitions afterward and *new* checks for, and repairs any errors on them.

6 Oct: This tool is now depreciated and succeded by the G2x AIO wipe tool.

New 2 August:

Updated to 3.1, now fully customizeable by partition. Still haven't gotten around to making status bars, it's going to take a little bit to work out the best implementation.

New 28 July: I've been working on wrapping my head around the infamous AROMA installer and have at least made some progress in understanding it. As alot of people in the past had wanted to have the option to choose which to wipe, and how many times. We're not there yet. Yet. I just wanted to give those interested something new to chew on while I work out how to break it down function by function. Currently I have it made so that you have one installer which allows you to choose between a single and dual wipe.

New 26 March: The Cache Nullifier I edited the script down to just do a single pass Nullification then format and error check. This will work on the G2x, O2x and su660.

26 April update: Changed the commands so that it writes ext4 file system instead of ext3 when it formats and created an error check zip, mostly just because it could prove to be useful. I tried a couple of different sign programs to sign these properly but in testing signature verification fails still.

Minor update 1 March: swapped out the binaries on the 2.0.6 releases so they're the same as the older versions, added an ext4 cache nullifier, and fixed the code on the dual-wipe as I was sober when that one was revised as it had errors which would prevent it from running.

Some brief need to knows:

1. This is a little lengthy process so please bear with it. The longest wipe is on /data which will take about 7 minutes. Obviously, make sure you have plenty of battery life before running it or are charging.

2. You

*must not*

power off your phone without first installing a new ROM or restoring a nandroid after you use this. See post here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23998091&postcount=125

3. I will provide help, support, etc., but

I am not, nor is anyone else involved with this

, responsible for any problems you may have in the extremely unlikely event that you do.

Depreciated

Thanks to da-pharoah for being my main beta tester who stuck with me all the way, even after bricking his phone and getting the progress bar pinned down as best as possible.

Additional thanks to anyone who contributed (you know who you are).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Волк:
Nullifier Q and A:

Q: Will this harm my phone in any way or brick it?

A: No, the incident with Pharaoh's phone was an unexpected problem brought about from the source-file I was using at the time causing CWM and Android to think the phone was encrypted. I no longer use that source-file.

Q: Why not just format everything?

A: Because a format isn't intended to erase data, though, to a degree, does so. This script is intended to and will wipe out the data and leave a clean set of partitions for a ROM to be installed to.

Q: (Submitted by Cargohook) Would it be idiotic or fruitless to run this and then restore a nandroid backup? I mean, would that defeat the purpose?

A: I highly doubt it would be a waste of your time. On an educated hunch, when you restore a nandroid all CWM does is format the partitions then load the data from the nandroid to those partitions; back to square 1 with old data being left behind.

Q: Why don't I get a message about formatting /boot?

A: Because it doesn't format /boot. Why? In testing I found that it doesn't need it. It's all a matter of how Android uses boot.img and how it's copied.

Q: Does this wipe internal or external SD? (added because it keeps getting asked)

A: In a word, no.

Q: Will using this cause nand-failure or make my phone unusable if used too much?

A: In my opinion, no. In other's, yes. By my experience I have never encountered such a problem. To give you a better answer, please see Overground's post on that subject here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25257903&postcount=327

(Thanks for the objective opinion overground)

(More to come as need be)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Волк:
Reserved just in case. (I knew there was a reason for me reserving this)

Changelog for 3.1:

Now you can select one, two or no wipes per partition, a long-requested feature.

Changelog for 3.0.5:

1. Obviously this is now AROMA based.

2. The scripting for the progress bar is different due to AROMA, so for now we have no status bar progress. I'm waiting to see if someone can explain what Amarullz means in his explanation since I can't make heads or tails of it. Otherwise all the old functionality is the exact same.

Changelog: (old)

1. Added progress bar.

It's not 100% accurate, but sadly it's impossible to get it 100%, even after tons of testing.

2. Fixed format issue with /cache.

Thanks Overground for showing us a better format command to use

and to my tester/protogee Pharoah, who added the unmount command which made CWM less pissed at me.

3. Added a model check just in case someone doesn't know what they're getting ahold of and turn their phone's internals into something resembeling Chernobyl's Reactor Number Four.

4. Removed unneeded mount command in dual wipe script which was causing problems.

Plans for the future:

Create a menu system so that the user has a choice of what to wipe, and single vs dual wipes, or no wipe at all.

This is coming along well, I decided to keep it more straight-forward versus making a system of menus, so once it's thoroughly tested it'll be released

Hopefully a time-based progress bar is still possible, if not I guess it's time to find someone who likes math to figure out the percentage of each operation.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] IRASadPanda:
Cool, will try in a second.

How long am I looking at here?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] da-pharoah:
Wow deja vu!

But maybe like 12-14 minutes. Didn't time exactly but that's a good estimate..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] IRASadPanda:
You need to change that so that it says "I am not, nor is anyone else involved in this, responsible for any problems....etc."

The way it's worded right now makes it look like you're claiming responsibility, which could get ugly.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Волк:
No, it'll be a little longer than that since it wipes each partition twice. The big one is /data since it's 1.5GB.
