[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] questionmark:
I agree... with the stock the minfree are IMO far to high that your launcher I use ADW often is killed the ro.APP_HOME_ADJ=0 did not help much...

What helps for me on a rooted device it to tweak

/sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree

If you have root you can do this easily by getting MinFreeManager on market by decreasing the values

I used EzyKernel v1 but went back on stock, nothing bad with this ROM but went back to stock to apply an update.

So I'm on stock + rooted and I can use MinFreeManager. Since I have no init.d script support, when I reboot need to set the values back. Basically for me it helps.

What might help even further is to tweak the

/sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/adj

Actually EzyKernel provides a script that is suppose to improve memory killer kicking in... see

I played a bit on this with my pone a Galaxy ACE as I had a ROM supporting A2SD and creating a swap you will see that android Gingerbread can use swap but not as much as you defined. The recommendation being 64 MB with swapiness of 10 for what I recall. anything above was dimmed foolish for what I understand ( not from a necessarily from an SDCARD performance stand point but more the OS) . And anyway did not help ie 128 MB swapiness of 100 and expecting to fill it .....

The memory killer is probably very clever, and made for lambda users making sure they don't run out of memory on critical process. But most of us here like to play with our device and I would prefer to be able to control what get killed instead of the OS making clever guess... The fact is that I never prevented the memory killer to kill APP (only delay it) changing minfree and or adj as well as using swap ( on Gingerbread ) The device seemed to kill un-ecessarily IMO.

I hope ICS will help in this respect. People mention it uses far less memory so it should in principle.

It is a very interesting subject quite covered about on XDA and internet. The question I would have ( no definite answers) is are there a way to totally prevent apps to get killed no mater what if it makes sense or not? it is more a curiosity from me. It could of course depend the way the APP got developed...

What I know is when I changed

/sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/adj

it took the changes but after launching APPs etc it went back to initial default values... that was still testing on gingerbread. For testing I use Cigyc as it is big in memory launching many APP...it seemed to me APP got killed when not used for sometimes regardless memory left.

anyway

Also I am truly desperate getting getting ICS on this wonderfully device... Surely not the only one :)

Anyone with nice rumors for me to get patient.... April is what I got...

As surely love 7.7 hardware I must say I hate samy for there software and update policy...

In this case I definitely would recommend other manufacturers and could only dream about Apple kind of support on that...

So I noticed that this phone's codename is Evita.

http://pocketnow.com/android/first-test-photos-htc-endeavor-ville-vertex-fireball-totem-evita

The specs for the Evita are a dead ringer for the One XL. But notice the HTC Totem/Tahiti. It's an AT&T phone, but we don't know what it is yet.

The plot thickens....
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] x3phyr:
Personally I don't feel the plot is thickening at all. Every thing I see of those leaks was released at least a month ago. The "Tahiti/Totem" could be any number of phones anticipated from HTC. Judging by the camera quality I'm judging it the Titan II. There's a good chance that I'm incorrect however. I'm no guru.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Hunt3r.j2:
Upon some consultation with Google, the Titan II has the codename Radiant. So it can't be that...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] x3phyr:
Hmm.... I don't know. I couldnt find anything. about it on google either.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Hunt3r.j2:

I am looking to turn my eris into a pure mp3 player for my daughter. she uses it now for that reason, but it doesn't need the dialer, phone book or anything else like that on it. to me its just wasted space. i am open to suggestions. is there a rom out there that i can use that will do this? i have searched and found nothing.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
I'm not 100% sure you can remove phone and dialer stuff without getting force closes on that process. I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure those can't be removed.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ecs1984:
this might be what you're looking for...?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1216571

you don't need to remove the dialer, contacts, phone .apk's, but with most launchers giving the option to hide certain programs, you could hide them and those apps would only be accessible when going into Titanium Backup or Manage Apps within the settings. at least that's what i did, just in case i need to activate the old eris in an emergency and need the phone functionality, since all phones can make 911 emergency calls even after deactivation.

EDIT: just happened to be browsing that thread, and saw a few posts from you, so maybe this is old news to you! lol, anyway, hope this helps if not, cheers!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
Ya know removing the dialer and stuff wouldn't help you free space anyway because that is stored on the system and your mp3s are on the SD card.

That works perfectly, thank you very much. and you guys are all correct on the removal of the phone book and dialer. and everything is already on the sd card, i was just trying to clean / speed things up a bit. i appreciate the response from everyone.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Izeltokatl:
I've been wanting the same thing. But I've decided to make it a home phone that is relatively always plugged in and use sipdroid to set it for inbound and outbound calls. I occasionally use it as an example mp3 player. I may try breaking the ROM apart, but honestly just use a startup disabling app like systemtuner productos or autostarts.. That can literally disable everything from turning on at boot. And other trigger points. Freezing sometimes breaks the ROM depending on what it is.

I've been asking if workshed wants to make one last ROM for the Eris which encorporates that script into it as well as removing every system app not necessary to making it a wifi enabled music player, but he seems to be busy with his other ROM development.

I managed to use a rooted rom to get it to boot up (one that you did at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1552303). And now have the following issues:

The ROM does not have either Market or Google Play. so I can't install things like ROM manager and Titanium

The system is acting "modally" - essentially requiring that I completely exit an application before i enter another one. So in order to use another app, I have to completely back out of the one I'm in.

Even though the ROM is running the latest update, the system is prompting me to load the OTA update anyway.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] ziko-kun:
Hey there fellows

My question is simple i have a international version of the SGP5 with the following especification :

Android Version: FROYO 2.2.2 (SDK 8)

Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9

Firmware Version: VXKE1

I just recently rooted it using SuperOneClickv2.3.3 and the first thing i wanted to try was overclocking. I installed Tegrak Overclock (Free) from the Play shop and when i tap in "Load overclock module" i give a message box with the following text:

"Your device or kernel is not available. do you want to see available models?"

if tap yes it forward me to the tegrak blog if tap no the message box dissapear but nothing happens.

Reading thread related with overclocking everyone seems to not have this problem and they could just use it..so i'll really apreciate if anyone out there could help to overcome this and help me overclock my Galaxy player 5.0.

P.S: it'll will come in handy if you could recommend me another free application that could do the job in case tegrak don't work for me :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] exodus454:
I'd bet it's because you're still running froyo.. tegrak has worked fantastically on my gingerbread 5.0 all the way up to 1.5ghz (you have to buy ultimate, though).

OR you can flash a different kernel with OC capabilities and use cpuinfo or system tuner to overclock. Entropy's kernel works great for the 5.0, not sure about international though.

Check out the development subforum.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] fromnowon:
You'd better not use the lastest version of Tegrak Overclock.The version 0.6.0.4 will be ok

In addition,you should edit the file--biuld.prop,like:

ro.product.model=GT-I9000

It's enough?I just sure it works good on player 4.0:)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] ziko-kun:
thanks for the suggestions i will try to use the 0.6.0.4 version of tegrak OC and will edit the file..i'm against changing froyo to gingerbread..since i did it in a 5.0 of a friend of mine and the sound quality drop noticiably..as the last method i will try flash it with another kernel.

so once again thanks for the replies :)

[HTC EVO 3D] freakysick:
I think they release it in summer 12....
[HTC EVO 3D] SoraX64:
Why? They aren't even selling this phone anymore. Releasing the update isn't going to affect the sales of the LTE... Anyone who plans to upgrade will still upgrade whether the update comes before or after the release. The update is coming, that isn't a question at all. So why would releasing it make a difference? The existence of the update is already known. The people who would not upgrade due to the ICS update incoming aren't going to upgrade anyway, and the people who have their hearts set on the LTE aren't just going to change their minds.

Makes plenty of sense. You please existing owners, make yourself look prompt, and you no longer have to worry about releasing it. What is there to lose?
[HTC EVO 3D] 6666:

[HTC EVO 3D] SoraX64:

I hope they will release the update this mouth or in May, because on facebook htc wall in Romania they said that the update will come very soon.

The Evo LTE is just what Sprint is calling their version of the HTC One X. And the One X absolutely will be sold in the UK (could be for sale right now in the UK for all I know). So the point is actually valid. They probably won't see an ICS update for the Evo 3D until after everyone has had a chance to upgrade to the new HTC phone.

So far the new generation of evos (4g/3d) have all released in early June with pre orders starting a month before. It's probably safe to assume they'll stick to that this year too.

[HTC EVO 3D] tyler.durden:
First Evo was a June 4th release date. 3D was on the 24th, I believe... so they've KINDA stuck to a schedule but this year definitely seems different. Apple released the iPhone way later last year than their normal schedule. HTC is a different company, of course, but there is always that possibility it could change. I'm just hoping for sooner rather than later, since I don't have an upgrade available until next year anyway. The more time goes on, the more I'm starting to believe that Sprint isn't going to push out the update until after the Evo LTE hits retail. It's especially irritating when the Sensation, which was released three weeks before the 3D and is almost the same phone, got the update the middle of last month and we still haven't heard an estimate for our OTA. :mad:
