New lease of life for my 2 year old i5800

My search for the best ICS ends for now with Kisadworks, and I have put off buying a new phone by about 3-6 months, as I cant get a better phone for a reasonable price. I also tried the jellybean one, but it needs more work to be useful in a production phone.

Kisadworks 2.0 has lasted all of 48 hours on my phone, a feat not achieved by any ICS rom at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1234591

some problems i faced with other roms that Kisadworks has solved:

You need to load Email.apk from google searches (Email apk is missing), but that is better than some roms where EMail is there, but Exchange Email cant get past security is missing altogether, or Manual setup does not work

Ringer, notification Volumes unlinked. This is a pain in the MI roms

Internal Storage 0, cant move programs to SD Card

Internal storage, below 30 MB, after I load all my basic applications that I need to do my work

Music player

Search not working in contacts

Heavy lag, difficulty in receiving calls or phone hangs frequently

One problem, which is not a show stopper - Phone dialer keys do not register in IVR systems of banks. If IVR system says, press 9 to speak to our customer service representative and you press 1 from the dialer, it does not register and you get timed out.

On the whole far better than any of the others. Enjoy!

Hi all

I have a xoom and installed eos about 30 mins after opening the box.

I love it but no user control of regulatory domain, that sucks.

Any pointers on how to implement this, build.prop keys don't seem to work and i'd not want to have to recompile gpu/oc kernel, but would if necessary.

It would seem that cm has it but don't want to move from eos as its ace.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigrushdog:
Well it depends on what aspect of regulatory domain you speak of. Regarding wifi channels, yes its in the kernel. I have a patch that eliminates all the regulatory crap. This is something we are still debating as to whether we should implement or not.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theretro:
9Yes wifi, i understand your concerns over implementing such a patch. But also believe that full control over our own device is fair and our own responsibility, Not to placed on the shoulders of dev's like you who do all the work so we can all enjoy our kit.

I am on nightly so would that mean it's in this kernel? If so should would i need something like iw to set it or a key in build.prop?

Thanks.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigrushdog:
No iw won't help if its not enabled in the kernel. Ill likely add this to my overlay anyway so no worries.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theretro:
Nice one

While your talking about overlay, when i'v flashed it i'v noticed that the gpu was not clocked

With the new kernel, any chance of a gpu version of the overlay, I know its not a mega overclock but would still prefer it in there :D call me cheeky if you want lol.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigrushdog:
Sorry man, gpuoc in the overlay kernel ain't happening. I've merged a regulatory remove patch. However, I'm prettty sure we have to mod the firmware calibration file as well. Ill talk with the team about a more comprehensive solution.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theretro:
No worries about gpu, its not that big of deal. Thanks for the merge i appreciate it.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theretro:
Just wondering if you managed to talk to the team about implementing this as a feature?
[Huawei Ideos X6] Sergekarol:
Every Miui rom I have tried on my many U9000-81 cincinnati bell phones has done this, When the browser or any app stalls, the phone will reboot. Is this a memory overflow causing this? Is it inherent in the phone? I am not a rom developer but this is the reason that I don't like the Miui Rom. First and foremost the phone should be stable. Sorry for the rant.
[Huawei Ideos X6] vivekb:
memmory is great issue with MIUI, many time its own lauuncher got freez because of memmory issue .... using different launcher over MIUI to overcome memmory isuue...
[Huawei Ideos X6] paarkhi:
My phone rarely reboots on MIUI and I'm using go launcher and many background apps are also running, I'd suggest you try V6 by zeppelinrox
[Huawei Ideos X6] CacingKalung:
My phone always has more then 150mb free ram and find no reboot so far. Can you give me some tips to try to make miui reboot or some app names to try the stability?
[Huawei Ideos X6] vivekb:
CK what you use to make free 150 + ram for all time, Now I am using ADW launcher to counter memory problem but not that successful

@paarkhi was using V6 supercharger on RC2 after that forget to use it again ... run it again to check the results ....
[Huawei Ideos X6] paarkhi:
V6 rejuvenates the phone in my case, can't say about others
[Huawei Ideos X6] CacingKalung:
I tried to avoid widgets in each desktop. Widgets will take more cpu and ram for them to work for background and foreground process.

I'm not using any additional tweak other than default rom tweak. I'm using ssLauncher and no widget in every desktop, that's make always 150+ free ram. This launcher is more smooth and light than miui default launcher and quite beautiful even without widget. Maybe not everyone comfortable with this launcher but this is what I looked for from long time ago, paper curl effect desktop change.
[Huawei Ideos X6] yashwantsingh:
For More free RAM, you Guy's should try "RAM Manager" App. you can easily get more than +200 free MB of RAM. Max i got was around 260MB on my CM7.2, I have screen on my phone, i can't show you guy's because my Phone is stolen:(

Here is the Market link :- CLICK HERE

Free version should be ok because "Balance" Profile work's best for our device & you should run this app in a every while to Boost your RAM...!!
[Huawei Ideos X6] Sergekarol:
Well unless an app like firefox has a memory leak there should be no issue with memory. And if it does have a memory leak bad enough to crash the OS, a memory manager will not have enough ram to run under that circumstance either. But why don't I have an issue like that with Cyanogenmod?
[Huawei Ideos X6] paarkhi:
Because cm is light on memory
[Huawei Ideos X6] CacingKalung:
You remind me with firefox. I stop using firefox several months ago because of memory leak of this app, make the OS reboot even I regularly update the app, but not remember what rom I was used. Since that time I never use firefox again, opera mobile take the place.

Normally the ram manager should not crash even with the memory leak of some apps, it should kill them when the memory reach the minimum free size limitation as we configure in minfree. From what you said, may be the configuration of this minfree will help the memory manager to breath a little deeper.

I think we should give this four values not to low in minfree:

- FOREGROUND_APP

- VISIBLE_APP

- SECONDARY_SERVER

- EMPTY_APP

But will decrease the chance to switch to other task, it will start over from the beginning for some apps.

Well... that what I thought.

I've to consider this for my future rom ports. But I hasn't found this issue in my current rom. I 'll try to install firefox and open many site on tabs.

Edited: Confirmed.... after using firefox with several webs on tabs opened, it got rebooted. But no reboot if using opera mobile.
[Huawei Ideos X6] Sergekarol:
Makes sense. I read above that someone tries to keep 150 mb free and I have 771 mb free with my CM7 rom that I am using. Lots of free memory available.
[Huawei Ideos X6] CacingKalung:
Our device ram only has 512mb. I think that was not free ram, that must be free internal nvm memory ;). I have 630mb free internal memory.
[Huawei Ideos X6] paarkhi:
Ram and internal memory is different, what you are saying is internal memory and as CK said we only have 512mb but 352 mb shown
[Huawei Ideos X6] vivekb:
He he he :-)

Its a good joke bro. ...... person above mentioning 150 mb speaking about ram and you are speaking about internal memory. ..its 700 + for me too. ....:-)
[Huawei Ideos X6] Sergekarol:
What rom is this with?
[Huawei Ideos X6] Sergekarol:
Duh I knew something sounded funny.
[Huawei Ideos X6] Sergekarol:
OK So right now my phone has 104 avail out of 351. One tab opened in firefox now 97/351 5 tabs 102/351 6 tabs 98/351. Not seeing that Firefox is causing problems with CM7. This only happens with Miui as far as I can tell.
[Huawei Ideos X6] Sergekarol:
Is the problem With Firefox or Miui? Do other programs cause the same problem with Miui? Not Opera obviously. I personally love the look of Miui but reliability is key with me. I hate reboot problems.
[Huawei Ideos X6] vivekb:
Problem is with launcher of MIUI, its really a RAM eater ......

over MIUI you can try other launcher and will see the difference

was using AWD an go on MIUI from some days really want to say never rebooted from then......

Also constantly getting RAM above 150 MB ....

AWD is preferred choice to get more while go with lots of customization option.

Also try V6 supercharger ....

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NotSoSiniSter:
I bought the Hyperion 3800mah battery for my galaxy nexus a few days ago. I got it last night and popped it in, and immidietly missed the grip that I had with the Diztronic case. Hyperion doesn't make a case for the extended battery, so I decided to modify the one I had. :P Here some pictures:

First what I did was cut out the of the case, the case it self has an edge on the back, and I used this to guide my scissors. I cut the bottom of the case out a little higher than this seam, since the edge of the case and the battery back don't match up.

After that, I laid some duct tape on the outside part of the case, put case on the phone, and fed the duct tape strips through where I cut. then laid the flap on top of the duct tape. I used some electrical tape to finish off the look so it didn't look too bad. The cut out for the camera is kinda ehh, I just guess and checked until I thought it looked fine.

Maybe this will inspire someone to buy a cheap case and do something similar, instead of dealing with a slippery, fat naked phone. :P If only it wasn't a phone... ;) lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] czonin:
That's one way to make this phone look atrocious.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NotSoSiniSter:
least it won't slip out of my hand. :P lol.

I am all about saving a buck, but you can't be happy with this.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dgwood12:
Doesnt seidio make a case specifically for this battery? I used a seidio surface on my dinc and loved it. I would suggest getting one of those for a cleaner look. Very resourceful mod though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Jeez, I'm tempted to just buy the Sedio case for you.\

Good effort though, and if you like it, who cares what others think right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NotSoSiniSter:
It's funny that you say that. :P I did infact ditch this case. The edges of it were really sharp and I started to hate it. Bought myself the sedio case. :)

For everyone else, I made that case in a in a time when the sedio case was 30$ and there were no other cases available. Now, you can get a 3800mah case for like $10. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DriveEuro:
Man, that's hideous. Its a shame theres no "elegant" super-extended battery for this phone. Battery life has been my complaint since day 1.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khalid Ali:
Hi All,

I have a rooted TF101 (ICS)

Android V:4.0.3

Kernel:2.6.39.4

I have an interesting issue. I noticed whenever I connect my TF101 it always connects to pc as Media Device, However I wanted it to connect as USB Mass Storage device so that it could have a drive letter associated with it.

When I searched on the device I see that at following location

Settings>Storage

Click on the bar at the top right, it shows another option

USB Computer connection

Click on that

It shows a pre selected option Media Device(MTP), I tried to uncheck it but seems like there have to be one selection on this page that needs selection. I was wondering if somehow both selections are unchecked then it would allow the device to connect as USB Mass Storage? any light on this?

thanks

[Epic 4G Apps] megacoolrock:
That does that with every game of you play it for to long
[Epic 4G Apps] mucus_android:
i think it has something to do with the fact that angry birds space uses the gps!

(why it does this is beyond me)

but if you block it from having access to the gps you'll notice the drain is lower as are the temps.
[Epic 4G Apps] HelloM0f0:
how do you prevent it from accessing the gps?

Edit: Nevermind, I didn't bother reading the thread on LBE Privacy Guard. I thought it was another useless antivirus thing.
[Epic 4G Apps] zman519:
How are you blocking gps. I use droidwall in white list mode & only let things online that need to be online online.

I think the gps crap is for ad targeting. Its really bs if u ask me. why can't they just use ip goelocation? I mean if xbmc can find the weather in my small town from the isp ip then why can't google ads wtf google

Sent from the Drivers Seat of my Suby txting and Driving doing 100MPH+ in a school zone! Ha.
[Epic 4G Apps] HelloM0f0:
I'm inclined to believe it's for ads. LBE says the paid one isn't asking for gps permissions.
[Epic 4G Apps] poit:
I think you are onto something here. Last week all the tech blogs were talking about a study that showed that ad supported android apps had some security problems related to the code that served the ads. In these stories they also talked about how the free versions of the apps typically drained batteries faster than the paid versions.

I have free versions of the other angry birds aps and they have never been this bad with battery drain, but as others have said this one seems to use GPS for targeted ads.

I've gone ahead and purchased the paid version of space. After running it for about 5 minutes the battery drain seems much more reasonable and the phone didn't get unusually hot. Perhaps only those of us cheapskates with the free app were experiencing the overheating and battery drain.
[Epic 4G Apps] zman519:
Just block it with droidwall. & why would you have gps on wile playing games any way?

Sent from the Drivers Seat of my Suby txting and Driving doing 100MPH+ in a school zone! Ha.
[Epic 4G Apps] poit:
I've got GPS off and adblock installed, but the ads were still coming through and the phone was getting real hot. Perhaps the issue is with AGPS and ad serving in general. Regardless, $0.99 is a bargain for a good game, and it runs much cooler and uses less battery with the paid version.
[Epic 4G Apps] zman519:
Droidwall FTW

Ya .99 is not bad, but I have almost bet the game.

Sent from the Drivers Seat of my Suby txting and Driving doing 100MPH+ in a school zone! Ha.
[Epic 4G Apps] ac16313:
.99 for the game or droidwall?

The game is free

Sent from my SPH-D700
[Epic 4G Apps] poit:
the ad supported game is free, but it's constant ad server pinging and location service are killing the battery and overheating the phone. The premium version is $0.99, doesn't have ads, and doesn't kill the battery nearly as much.
