??? This doesn't mean you have a bad sdcard at all. I had this issue many times after mounting my phone to PC. I fixed by lowering the read ahead speed / eliminating a corrupt file on sdcard ( this could be any file,run a disk check whilst mounted to PC) I also only mount from recovery now and have not had the issue since.

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gmobilize:
Perhaps,but in my case the recovery didnt read it ,neither did the device,formatting on pc unsuccesful - Dead SD.

And yes ,before the critical end when I got the read-only issues, even if I did format for 4 times after each time that error showed up.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Hawke84:
I'm still quite new to the prime n learning about it. One thing thats really annoying me is whenever I plug in the prime when its powered down it boots up!

I'm guessing everyone else's does this, is there any way to stop it or to halt the boot procedure and power it off?

Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hobbiteer:
So, I've been looking around pretty hard recently and I have yet to see an answer on this that either applies to my phone or is not out of date.

My question is: Is a dev willing to attempt to replace android with Windows Mobile (6.1-6.5) or Windows Phone? Or is this not possible? ( Had seen previous answers stating we needed an unlocked bootloader for this to be an option...which we now have.)

Now some of you may be asking why the hell I'm wanting to replace the OS, and that comes down to the new privacy policy of Google's services and that there are no WM devices w/in the past two years that have a physical keyboard which use the 1700 MHz band for data.

Thanks so much for the help.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nospin:
It is very hard to port a different OS. Possible, but very hard.

But as for the privacy policy, you understand that it basically makes Google have the SAME policy as Microsoft and Apple right? And you can opt out of many of the changes?

The media got that story and turned it into something it wasn't. Google can use your data to improve your experience in its other services. Just like Microsoft says it does.....only difference is they hide it in a wall of text, Google came out and told you.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bogdan5844:
Also, think that Windows Mobile/Windows Phone are closed-source OSes, while Android is Open Source. Even though, look how hard it is to port Ice Cream Sandwich to our device - an Android OS.

Porting another system with no drivers or access to source code would be next to impossible.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spastic909:
This has been asked a bunch and always answered with either no it can't work or why would you want to.

Don't think its possible

And its not that ics is super hard to port..its the fact that it hasn't been released for more than a couple devices. As soon as htc releases the official dhd ics things should go a lot smoother
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hobbiteer:
Nospin, I do know that the policy is basically the same for Google as it is for Microsoft or Apple. And i really do like that they came out and said it as opposed to the EULAs of the others. I am also aware I can opt out of Google's services by not signing in on my desktop, but not on Android. I am required to be logged in to use things on the device like the market. Even for free apps, I have to be signed in to download them. Then, most of them also only provide downloads via the market, so I can't go to their site and buy them or get them (or updates.)

I am well aware it is difficult to port a different OS to a device, but I also know it's not impossible (just next to it.) I also know the question had been asked multiple times. I found 4 different threads under 4 different devices. All of them had different answers. Either "we need an unlocked bootloader", "yes it can be done", or "not possible." Were the answers. With each of the threads being years old I figured asking was the easiest way to get an updated answer.

If open source is the issue, how about loading memo 5, or even a full on version of Linux (vnc solutions don't count.)

I appreciate the responses so far, but I'd also like to hear from a dev on the subject if possible.

HTC HD2 is multiplatform (android,WM 6.5, WP7, ubuntu, meego) but doesn't have keyboard (only bluetooth)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Oh god, the mention of WM 6.X on our device made me throw up in my mouth a little. So obsolete, laggy and unstable. I don't know why you would go anywhere near that garbage.

Porting WM or WP, not "impossible" per se. But so much would have to be built from scratch. No hardware drivers for WP to work on our device, so they would have to be written from scratch. It would be a huge effort, and the fact that WP is closed source, makes it all the more difficult. "Impossible", technically no. But hundreds, probably thousands of hours worth of work. Nobody is really interested in putting that much effort into such a project. And for the reason that you just don't like Google's privacy policy? Sorry, not going to happen.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] salivaman:
does anyone lag when playing games on the gnex? it is very choppy when playing 3d games like running fred or dungeon defenders.

im currently on stock, unrooted and am wondering if installing custom roms will improve the frame rates?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miguel11691:
I have aokp m4 installed with Franco's latest r98 kernel and I have no lag in any game... and I play the same ones u listed plus shadow run modern combat 3 and back stab
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EP2008:
Modern combat 3 is very smooth, but the multitouch bug kills the gameplay :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mudferret:
Can't speak for stock, I was only stock for 20 minutes. But I haven't experienced any lag in any games on the ROMs I've run. Games include: Shadow Gun, Flick Golf, and Asphalt 6 HD.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] salivaman:
can u try running fred and dungeon defenders?

they are my favourite games but the lag is quite frequent on both games, especially dungeon defenders...

:(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zapek666:
I tried Running Fred and it indeed shutters 2 or 3 times per seconds. What is strange it that it seems to do it for several frames.

I'd guess the game has a bad rendering pipeline.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mudferret:
Just tried Running Fred, no lag. CM9 currently with stock CM9 kernel, GSM phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] salivaman:
thanks..i guess i have to root and install aokp + franco kernel. any ideas what is the best and easiest way to root the phone (im currently looking at the GNex Toolkit)?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mudferret:
If you're not familiar with fast boot and/or adb, that's the safest bet. I'd encourage you to at least review the fast boot method however.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thebobp:
I'm running cm9 with glados kernel, default settings. No lag for fred, and the only lag in dungeon defenders is when they spawn the new waves.

sent from my Zerg Hatchery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EdwardUong:
I play Dead Space on Android and it is as smooth as you could ever imagine. But there is occasionally a few lag and buggy, but it doesn't bother me much. Also, multitouch is a breeze on that game too. It's rooted, stock ROM
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lazaro17:
kind of sucks that you have to root and flash a rom in order to play certain games lag free

I'm rooted but on stock...i'll give the games a try and let you know from my end. It's a better comparison since I'm on stock too.

The other posters who have custom kernels and roms are obviously going to have different results.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MilkPudding:
I'm on stock too and no lag at all for Super Monkey Ball Sakura and The Sims FreePlay.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lazaro17:
hes asking about fred and dungeon defenders though :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MilkPudding:
Aw, I thought he's asking about gaming in general on GNex.

It's probably a better idea to email the app developers than asking here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lazaro17:
Ya that's what I was thinking too....could just be they aren't optimized for ICS yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thebobp:
who knows if you have to; there's obviously a selection bias here in that most of us already have custom roms/kernels installed.

Awaiting your stock results.

sent from my Zerg Hatchery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lazaro17:
Just tried out running fred...definitely not "very choppy" for me. I am getting slight stutters usually when one of those "checkpoint reach" pop ups come the framerate will stutter a bit and the sound will as well. Nothing seriously bad, I've run into certain parts of Shadowgun that will have similar behavoir.

Not 100% but doesn't make the game unplayable for me. I'd suggest check to see if you have any background processes that are slowing things down for you. Maybe a bad app somewhere is ruining your 3d gaming experience. Also, game might not be fully optimized for us yet so might be a good idea to get in touch with the developer and let him know.

I won't be able to check dungeon defenders second wave today because my internet and 3g coverage is spotty right now at my hotel. And the extra content will take forever to download.

Hope this post helps a bit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] salivaman:
Ok so after about a month of running unrooted stock I have just installed aokp + Franco kernel and this seems to have a positive impact on the gaming performance. Running Fred runs quite a lot smoother now. But I haven't tried dungeon defenders yet. Will probably post results again when I have the time, but still its enlightening to know and let the community know that the custom roms and kernels not only benefits in synthetic benchmarks like quadrant but also in real-world application performance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thebobp:
Out of curiosity, which governor are you using? Settings -> ROM Control -> Performance
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] salivaman:
they are on the default settings. 700 and 1200.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
That isn't the governor.

That is the cpu frequency.

Also, if you ever go back to stock or play a game with bad framerate...

Try toggling "Force GPU Rendering" in the "Developer Settings" on the device.

That will often do the trick.

i m cooking rom..

i cooked flashable zip in uot .

now how can i integrate that flashable zip in my rom zip?

should i just paste it some where and then in updater-script i should add that code (will search on what code to write) to flash it after instalation of my rom [but will this work cuz its writen on the uot kitchen webpage that do not flash on the first boot]

plz help

i did one thing..

i read the update-script

and it was

ui_print("Applying UOT framework");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
delete("/system/framework/framework-res.apk");
package_extract_dir("framework", "/system/framework");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/system");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
delete("/system/app/SystemUI.apk");

ny one der to help ? :'(
[HTC Wildfire S] mhrsolanki2020:
will someone help me plzzzz??/
[HTC Wildfire S] djthebogan:
sorry, i just replied on your other thread, lol. After you have cooked up your uot theme, download it and copy it to your sd card. then just go into cwm recovery and flash the .zip of the theme u built, any mods you made in the uot kitchen will be applied to your rom. Thats the simplest way to do it.

GoogleServicesFramework.apk

Hi, i have a question about the GoogleServicesFramework.apk file you have providied...

I have my device set to 200dpi and am using a modded Vending.apk that is set to 240dpi... Currently, ever so often I have to clear the data/cache for Play Store (Market) to refresh Play Store (Market) to force stop the Incompatible device message coming up every time...

Well, I was just wondering whether the GoogleServicesFramework.apk that you've supplied here works in a way that forces the incompatible device fault message to not appear permanently/ever again?... I just found out that this is the file that also needs modifying to help keep my device compliant with Play Store and trick it into thinking my device is set to a particular compliant dpi continuously without needing to clear my data/cache...

Would much appreciate a response because this constant remembering to clear my Play Store data/cache is starting to get annoying and repetitively petty...

Thanks
