can someone give me link to download crt screen off for stock ginger bread v20o????
[LG Optimus Black] YoursTrulySarcastic:
There is no "link" to get a flashable zip file. As far as I know, the crt lock is in-built directly into android 2.3.4, so there is no way to disable it. There may be an app on the market that replaces the boot animation, but it will only go over it.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Definitus:
Hi guys,

This is probably a dumb question but... The installation of themes over ROM's and Kernels will slow down the system or change the battery behavior?

By the way, is there a simple way to create a set of apps to install on different mobiles? It's a pain in the ass reinstall all the apps when we have to wipe your "machine".

Thank you all for the help

:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikzDHD:
Not really shouldn't affect battery unless maybe very bright images and shouldn't cause any slow downs.

Secondly get titanium backup pro and as that as a feature to upload data apps to dropbox then just install on new phone and sync it with dropbox via titanium.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Definitus:

But I have always errors when using Titanium, after the wipe several apps "return" FC errors. :eek:

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wakoko79:
I'm wondering if how i can set my phone to "game mode".

I observed that when I upgraded from 2.1.6 to 2.1.9 then to 2.2.0, there is caching of program. the caching is not done (I think) in 2.1.6 or lower versions. And does supercharger has something to do with this?

I think caching has something to do with processor performance for games, and it makes games somewhat choppy. What I want to do, is when I start a game, all support and background checking/ precaching services for other apps (even for messaging) is disabled so that the game will have most of the resources. It would be even better if i can set this for individual apps so that only cpu/gpou intensive games will do this. Now, is there anyway to do this?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidnerd2:
naahh...there is no such settings for now
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zmuhammx:
From my exp, 2.2.0 is build in great for gaming.Supercharge it not make it better even its has gaming mode.Btw there are some apps called RAM manager, try to set in Hard Gaming mode.Maybe its will boost a little(not 100% sure)
[Vibrant General] jwleonhart:
Ok so I can't figure this out. My battery is kind of "retarded" for lack of a better word.

I can charge it up to 100%, reset battery stats (even if I don't the same will happen)... then let it drain. It will drain insanely fast... I mean from 100 to dead in maybe an hour sometimes...

Then I go ahead and plug it into the charger... for just 15 seconds... when I take it off the charger and turn it back on it'll have another 50% battery life, sometimes more sometimes less....

It's almost as if the battery isn't reading correctly and then the phone can't detect how much battery is left so won't let me turn it on unless I plug it in really quick...

Tried another battery and that one does the same thing.... What in gods name could be going on...

and yes.. I searched... before I hear the hit the search 2000x times.
[Vibrant General] romitkin:
Here is the instructions from the ExROM thread, they worked perfect for me:

--> For battery life: I think that you have to calibrate your battery.

- Run the device down until it turns itself off.
- Turn it back on and wait for it to turn itself off again.
- Remove the battery for 10 seconds.
- Replace the battery, but leave the device off.
- Charge the device until full and then for another hour.
- Enter recovery and go to advanced -> wipe battery status. Apply it.
- Run the device’s battery down until it turns itself off.
- Turn the device on and charge for at least 8 hours.
- Unplug the device, turn off, then charge for another hour.
- Unplug the device, turn on, wait 2 minutes.
- Turn off again and charge for another hour.
- Restart and use as normal.
[Vibrant General] jwleonhart:
I shall try those but who knows...

I've literally been turning the phone on, it dies the minute it hits the lock screen. Plug it in now for just 3 seconds until it says VIBRANT, it will load up shut down.. have down this about 30 times...

I'm lost on how the phone has enough juice to boot and shi*.... it's driving me nuts doing this over and over and over.. oh wait just turned on again and it's at 5%. This is stupid....

lol i will post back after I try these instructions I guess....
[Vibrant General] flapane:
You MUST calibrate your battery every time you see a weird behaviour or install a new kernel. You wrote that you tried another battery, so we can exclude a premature death of the battery.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
are you able to get into RECOVERY mode and stay there without it rebooting? Or even Download mode?
[Vibrant General] younix258:
yo i dont understand.. didnt a google employee go out and make a public statement that batterystats.bin has NOTHING to do with battery calibration, its only used to keep the data from the settings>battery use graph throughout reboots? In the same statement, i think i remember she told aandroid users NOT to let their batteries die and charge em full cause that will damage the batt.

[Vibrant General] Haxel:
I made a nice detailed post about this a while back, it took a google employee for people here to believe.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_effect

(Keep in mind, this applies to NiCad... but the effects are the same)

Bad news bro, your battery is bad. If you full discharge/recharge all the time, it will just hasten its death. Deep cycle charging when the battery is that far gone doesn't really have the same effect.

Try coaxing it back to life by recharging it to 100% then hitting the charger again at 75% a few times. This will increase the capacitance of the battery if there is hope of life. If it doesn't improve, its life is almost over.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
Correct. According to her Calibrating does pretty much nothing except make you THINK your battery is better/worse/same.

thanks for the interesting read, i love reading things that the mind thinks as something for a weird reason.. Placebo effect etc.

Putting your battery down to an absolute 0% will do nothing but hurt your battery. This would have worked if we were still in the 80s and 90s, but these are Li-on batteries, they work differently and it actually hurts them.
[Vibrant General] jwleonhart:
Ok so I have RESTORED the battery...

Here is what was going on after further looking. I downloaded a battery stat/drain program to see what exactly was going on...

Under a load the battery mV will change drastically, then once it settles down the mV will actually rise making the % rise...

So I completely killed the battery, I mean dead.. Restarted the phone, plug it in for just a second.. I took it to the point that I killed the SOB battery.

I then charged it up, and while charging I would use the battery drain program. the mV would change drastically and I did this every 10%.

So far so good, the phone has been on for 4 hours now and i've only drained 8%... I will see how it continues.

I've also been resetting my battery stats not because I believe it relates the phone to the actual battery % but the % would fluctuate on the phone, and I thought the phone was saying "batterys dead don't turn on" kind of thing...
[Vibrant General] Haxel:
Ok. Again.

Here is a more in-detail article with a quick google.

http://www.atomicmods.com/Categories/QandA-Batteries.aspx

Although, there has been arguments for years about Li-ion "memory". Li-ions are not afflicted with the "memory" issues of other chemical types. What they are afflicted with is the inability to hold a consistent current under stress/load with age/oxidation (aging effect of the Li-ion batteries). This is where your battery sits. On the precipice of death. You may get another year or two out of it (if you're lucky.. really more like a few months) with a few correct charging cycles, but that is it.

Bringing a Li-ion to near 0 and back does not help the battery, it is 100% a placebo effect with short term gains at best. A common cause of your particular problem...

http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_store_batteries

I'm giving random googling as I know it's difficult to believe a random person on the internet. No two type of manufactured batteries are created/engineered the same, but I'm basing my statements of chemical composition and the basic fundamentals of the Li-ion battery tech.

Once you set all of your contact photos with high quality ones use titanium backup and backup contacts/calls. Now if you flash a new rom you then just restore this and it puts the high quality photos back.

I tried that app but my photos remained low quality.. Perhaps because I use friend caster pro instead of official Facebook app?

I'm running the Dark Knight mod V4 ics 4.0.4. When I was using Dark Knight v3 based on ics 4.0.3 the app dailyroads was functional. After upgrading to the latest version of Dark Knight which is based on ics 4.0.4, I can't install Dailyroads and some other apps. The don't appear in the Google Play store anymore.

Is this due to the newer version? Is there a way round it?
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
So, I love my new One X, but have noticed fairly weak signal on Orange - and when it dies it is not automatically swapping to T-Mobile either.

Is anyone else having this problem - I just can't hold a steady signal even when sitting still?
[HTC One X] SartoriXX:
I'm on Three and have to say I'm not impressed with the signal strength on the phone compared to my old Desire, I'm hoping a FW update will fix that, you're not the only one though.
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
Is a firmware update the sort of thing that could fix signal strength then? Didn't realise that if so - although I am not exactly an expert in that sort of thing!

Thanks :)
[HTC One X] SartoriXX:
It can do, it depends on what is causing the problem, of course if it was something like the material of the casing blocking more of the signal than other phones then no, but I doubt that's the cause. Software glitches can affect the efficiency of the signal though so I'm fairly hopefully for improvements with firmware updates. Fingers crossed :)

[HTC Sensation] GunpreetS:
Hello Guys, I recently got the much awaited chance to flash the very popular ARHD ROM to my Sensation XE but I have been noticing 2 specific problems while running my phone:

1. My battery drains out much rapidly. I found out the solution to Wipe the battery stats using the recovery and I am going to do that as soon as my phone charges to 100%.

2. Another peculiar problem I found out that in the quick settings bar of my phone (where you can toggle Mobile network, bluetooth , power saver), the power saver option is always on and there's a message saying, "Phone storage space is getting low.". I get the same message when I turn on the Mobile network, Bluetooth etc. But when they are turned off, it says "Loading..". My phone still has 3GB's out of 8GB's free and I can't find a solution.

I have posted a screenshot of the problem below!

Thanks!

Gunpreet :)

Phone storage space is not the SD card space. It cannot possibly be 8GB. Remove some apps, or move them to the SD card, and you'll be fine.

Quick question before I do something silly. I want to change splash to the black onex image (rather than white - it's too bright at night if i need to reboot). I know you need to be s-off as have done this on my desire, but I'm wondering if our htcdev partial s-off is enough? Or do we need to wait for a full s-off.

So, is there any way to turn off the shutter sound in 4.0.4?

I know that switching to silence mode does the trick, but is there any way more permanent?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbdysreal:
Use any root file explorer

/system/media/audio/ui/

In there you have:

camera_click.ogg

camera_focus.ogg

VideoRecord.ogg

Rename which ever sounds you want to whateveritscalled.ogg.bak and it won't play anymore. Then if you want to re-enable, just take off the .bak
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
In the app Sound Manager you can turn System Volume down to zero. This will also probably silence keyboard sounds, system clicking noises, etc. You can also use the schedule button in that app to force it to silence the system volume on every boot. This does seem to keep the camera noise from sounding.

In that case the Sound Manager solution may be ideal. Turn the system volume down to an acceptable level without impacting media volume.

I was thinking about the Camera problems for the 5*5 Evo 3D's.. / hardware 0001

My idea was if it would be possible to create a fastboot / dual boot to only the camera app/rom:

Idea:

Use any rom without the fuctioning camera (like CM9 / CM 7 / ICS rom) and when you want to take photos you boot to a other partition/rom within seconds because it only needs the camera stuff(and thuss shortening the boot time). When you are done taking pictures you can boot back to the other rom and use the pictures there.

Is this possible?
[HTC EVO 3D] phantom5:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.drx2.bootmanager&hl=de
[HTC EVO 3D] hemelsw:
No it's not like that because all the roms have to start multiple other services that aren't used by the camera. So my idea was a stripped down version of a rom with only the camera funtionality. I know bootmanager will be the used software for switching roms, but is it possible to just build the Cam function only?
[HTC EVO 3D] Atomix86:
I usr bootmanager pro for switching to a stripped down rom for use of the camera and 3D playback when I'm using an ICS rom or other non camera supported rom. It works damn well too, so I would recommend it.

Sorry it wasn't, it was RomeOS (I chose this as it had Sense pre-stripped), running zeam launcher and with all non-essential apps, data and .apk files removed via Titanium Backup.
