[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackroseMD1:
I prefer stability over features, for sure. That said, I've flashed a ton of roms (especially AOSP, when first released) that have had neither, and said so in the OP.

Right now, I'm on CM9, even though I prefer Codename, due to the fact that CM has been updated to 4.0.4 which brings massive battery life improvement. Codename offers more features, but CM9 has the stability.

Stability first, then fancy features. What's the point of the "cool new thing" if your phone keeps freezing or rebooting itself every 10 minutes?

Speed is a huge plus, too.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] borkan:
That sounds like your answer should be stability and not 'a bit of both' (not that there is anything wrong with that!)

I always prefer stability myself as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mrubs:
We are in new generation, specially 3G and 4G, so i don't think about feature but only the stability. It's the main thing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dgn_sandibalz:
Features.

So far I've found that all are stable enough...which i consider to be 3g, sms, phone. Don't live in a 4g area so not big deal for me. In fact phone is not even huge deal since I hardly use it. Data and texting is all I really have to have.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KBizzle:
I want the bleeding edge. Fancy as fck and buggy as hell. I mean, what's the point, if your phone works perfect, it's just any other device.

I kid. :D

Hello searched but nothing that suits my quest, came up. This is a discussion regarding the fastest data network in the UK, can we please discuss, others, seem to think 3 uk is fastest, whilst others think otherwise, so I very much value your opinion please.
[Networking] HTC Bravo:
I was in UK for 2 months and I bought a Three mobile sim (pay as you go) and I could say was quite fast actually.
[Networking] undercover:
3UK is, as long as you get reception. Good thing about them, as long as you have reception at all, phone call quality is stellar, no crackling or broken voices.
[Networking] marvi0:
Hmm am torn between 3 and tmobile, can't really decide but apparently 3 feed of tmobile right.?, so theoretically tmobile should be better.
[Networking] undercover:
No, 3 use their own network mainly, but piggyback Orange in places where their reception is poor.

I'm currently on Tesco mobile .. which if 02... I'm quite surprised how good the 3g is ... for me its faster than T-Mobile

Well probably coz i live in London lol

AT&T Galaxy S2, was able to get into both recovery mode and download mode fine prior to install of Android 4.0.3. Following install, of Ice Cream Sandwich, neither the back or search key works, and screen does not auto-rotate, and no longer have root privilege. Try to go into recovery mode, just goes straight to Samsung logo and loads home screen. Have tried all combinations of volume and soft keys, nothing works. Can't do it through ROM manager because I lost root privilege. Anybody have any ideas of how I can make this work?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] StarLog:
So I have GO SMS Pro and decided to freeze the following thru Titanium Backup: SMS/MMS PREFS Messaging 2.3.6.

WHY ? because I would get a double post, sms from GO SMS and one from Messaging default app.

That kept me from getting pictures sent with Text messages.

I did get the text messages, so I had to unfreeze it.

Even after unfreezing my daughter would send a txt with picture and it would not come thru.

So unfrost it, and all works fine. I really like GO SMS Pro, but still no pictures came thru, she is on a differrent network using iPhone.

I recently installed CM7, Afterwards my battery life is very low, At night I had about 84%, but at the morning it became 22%, Its very annoying. What should I do?

Another Problem, My phone doesn't even play 360p videos fluently after flashing CM7. It plays the audio first, then stops, then plays video, then audio,

I also tried MX player, Still made no progress.

Please help
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usaff22:
To answer your battery problem, make sure you quit apps with the back button and not home. Check what apps are running in the background. Turn off GPS, Wi-Fi, etc.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mahex4:
Yea, I did that, And is juice defender effective?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yash_p90:
Turn off auto-sync (Eats up a lot of battery). Remove unwanted apps (the ones that run all the time. Not games)

And I have never found juice defender useful. I never use battery-saver apps.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scratch0805:
I didn't like juice defender, i bought the paid version then decided it wasn't for me, the best free App for switching things off when you're not using your phone is llama imo, it's relatively simple to get it setup to turn off data, wifi, gps and even kill apps when your screen turns off and then turn everything back on again when you turn the screen back on.

Also there is no need to uninstall anything that runs in the background constantly (Google maps for example) and cannot be killed by any task killer, all you need is an App called autostarts which will break the flags any App needs to turn itself on thus ensuring you have complete control of what is running in the background. All you have to remember is to close an App properly after use otherwise it will keep running.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android311:
Battery life sounds good to me, considering its a 1300 mah battery. But reflash the rom and see if the vedio/sound problems go away, if not its a bug in the rom. Hope this helps :)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DerpyWebber:
Under/Overclock

If you go to Settings > Cyanogenmod Settings > Performance > CPU Settings, you can over/underclock your processor, which can help not only with battery, but with performance! Basically, set a governor (Smartass is probably the best choice for most users) which controlls your CPU frequency, the limits of which you can set below. Personally, I use 245-748 MHz, but you should try increasing/decreasing the settings from their defaults one by one, then stress loading, to see where you can get them without stability loss. These settings have led to a battery life that's somewhere between a full day and almost half a week, depending on how much I use it. If I just leave it overnight, the battery percentage shows no battery loss, but keep in mind that's with Autosync disabled. Also, if you have no need for instant notifications, try using the Data On/Off in the Power Saver widget, turning it on or off as you require data.

Hope this helps!

Can someone explain how the data delay option in the AOKP rom works.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikhilv.13:
Hey guys,

Couple of weeks back, my Nexus died one me (after a few days of power button problems). I was hoping it was just the button circuits that had gone, but after speaking to a few local repair guys, apparently the motherboard is busted. I'm using an i9020T in India (only the i9023 parts are available here), and I'm not sure how financially viable it would be to send the handset back to America to get it repaired.

Any suggestions on what to do? Does anyone have a spare motherboard that I can buy? or is there any way to repurpose the parts and use them for something else.

Its only 13 months old, and everything else is in perfect condition, and I would feel really bad to throw it away as it is.

Any suggestions?

Nikhil
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saranyan:
Same thing happened to me and they ordered a motherboard from banglore or something just ask the samsung authorized repair shops.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikhilv.13:
Was yours the i9020t or the i9023? I asked samsung repair here, and they said they won't repair the phone here. It needs to be sent back to america... :(
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MotorcycleKopp:
I actually just got my i9020T back a couple days ago from Square Trade for the exact same problem (good thing I got Square Trade). Power button stopped working, but the phone never stopped. When I got the phone back they said they had to replace the motherboard because it was bad.

The repair shop that Square Trade sent my Nexus S to is called CF Repair http://www.cfrepaircenter.com/ -you might want to give them a call or e-mail them to see if they can send you a motherboard or at least see what their advice to you is

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megaman001:
I watched the video and I've read several threads about trying to solve my problem, but without success.

I rooted my Kindle Fire tonight utilizing the Kindle Fire Utility, but was unable to get the Google Play Market to run correctly without force closing.

I followed the directions in these forums and went to install FireFireFire to see if that would assist things, and during that time my device locked up at this image.

The forums will not allow me to post an image or a link but it is the standard Kindle Fire logo with the Android logo above that.

I attempted to follow the directions in the Kindle Unbrick Utility hosted here, however my Windows 7 is not recognizing the Kindle at all anymore. It's listed as 'malfunctioning' under windows and all of the unBrick utility options says the device is not responding.

I tried to reinstall the ADB drivers from both Kindle Fire utility and by manually editing the android usb driver in the Android SDK file.

Any ideas or did I just completely destroy my Kindle Fire after having it rooted for approximately six hours.

EDIT: Oh, my goodness. The unbrick just worked randomly. It still force closes google play but I am just going to cut my losses, I need a drink.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
In this thread we should share our own little tweaks to this amazing ROM.

I'll add to this first post any stuff that is proven to increase speed or makes using the ROM easier or more enjoyable :D

Note, this isn't intended to include mods and addons, as there is already a great thread for that

IMPORTANT:

Always backup stuff! And reboot after teaking!

Please note that, the ones I've found more useful, I add a USEFUL tag in front of them :D

____________________________________

BUILD.PROP tweaks

With root explorer or any other method of your liking, go to /system/ and edit the file build.prop.

- To increase max fps limit possible, add:

windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=150

I'm not sure this one is really useful, I think android already sets this already to around 1.5x screen refresh rate. The gains could be negligible.

- Disable error checking, add:

ro.kernel.android.checkjni=0

- USEFUL Stop debugging icon from appearing in status bar (doesn't disable adb), add:

persist.adb.notify=0

- USEFUL Force home launcher into memory, add:

ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1

_______________________________________________

OTHER TWEAKS AND TRICKS

- VERY, Extremely, Mega-USEFUL :D - Go to:

/system/lib/elg

Open egl.cfg and delete the 1st line (0 0 android), reboot the phone.

Everything should be much smoother, I notice this especially opening folders with a lot of icons in Apex Launcher. I think this disables the default android software rendering method and uses only GPU. Don't ask me if this is different than setting composition mode to gpu in build.prop, I don't know, I just know everything is much faster :D

USEFUL - Only works with Aurora 2.07+ and synaptics screen - Tweak your screen duplicate filter, like in x5settings for .32 kernels.

Go to:

sys/module/synaptics_i2c_rmi_1564/parameters/sensitivity

Open the file "sensitivity" and tweak the value. Default is 4. Higher values reduce screen flickering/jitter but screen can become less sensitive, lower values, the contrary. Personally I use 8, works very good for my fingers, adjust you value accordingly. Note, this takes effect immediately, but doesn't stick after a reboot. To make it stick after a reboot, go to "/system/etc/", open one of the scripts, I recommend "ini.qcom.post_boot.sh", and add this at the end:

echo 8 > sys/module/synaptics_i2c_rmi_1564/parameters/sensitivity

where 8 is the value you want. Save, reboot and check is the value is there, in the "sensitivity" file.

- USEFUL - Great tips on how to save battery without turning everything off (bonus, doesn't use BS calibration myth):

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] spirosbond:
thank you mate. Two quick questions. If i disable kernel debugging will this affect logcat? And what cpu composition does?

Cheers
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
Regarding the logcat, yes, probably disables that functionality, I've read in other sites, it just disables checking for errors, thus performance improvements. When I have time, I'll check if logcat is still there... the composition thing I think it tells the OS to always use GPU no matter what, I see a great improvement with that one, don't know if anything is affected, but so far, everything is great :-)

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] r1c4rd0:
hi there, i have changed it right now to value 10 and its the same, its trembling...

i have kernel v3 from Dzo 2.0.5 rom.

and have restart the phone too
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
Yes, I think so, maybe it was just placebo... also, it doesn't stick after a reboot, the ROM would need init.d startup script support and a script to change the value everytime... try change it to 40 or something, and report, it it still trembles, I'll remove from the first post...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] r1c4rd0:
will try it right now

edit: changed the value and no diference... then i restart and no diference too... :(
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
I think it doesn't work... I've changed it to 1 and notice no difference... I'll remove that thing from front post and post here if anyone wants to study it...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
- Something to try, it seems not to work... - Improve synaptics screen sensitivity!

Do you miss x5Settings setting about touchscreen filter? I've been studying x5settings source code and found out what file needs to be changed to achieve the same result in Aurora. Go to:

- sys/module/synaptics_i2c_rmi_1564/parameters/

Edit the file "sensitivity" and set a value appropriate for you. I've set it to 8 and touchscreen seems better now. Maximum value I think is 64, and that works great too. I think this isn't placebo :D Pinch to zoom in pics doesn't "tremble" when holding the fingers on the screen as it did before, here.

EDIT: it doesn't stick after a reboot! And values change by itself, don't know why, maybe it doesn't even work... Try it for your self :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] r1c4rd0:
hey fjsferreira if you want stick after a reboot, you must to paste this command "echo 8 > /sys/module/synaptics_i2c_rmi_1564/parameters/sensitivity" (without the quotes) into 1 of the files in /etc/init.d

number 8 is choise by us... but make 8 for this example
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
The problem is, there isn't an /etc/init.d :S maybe it can be added to one of the scripts in /etc/
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] r1c4rd0:
yes it can... ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
Yes, it did, thank you... now I'm waiting to see if dzo responds in Aurora thread confirming this is working. I have a sense it works somehow, damn placebo is powerful!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] r1c4rd0:
yes it works, but i think its related to his new v3.0 kernel...

in .35 kernel, if i´m not worng, we can change that value.

i think placebo dont work with me lol :p
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] spirosbond:
I tried 8 and 10 but the flickering didn't reduce. Thanks for the tip though. I hope you get it working...

Question:

What is the difference between the mod:" get rid of cpu composition" and setting the line

debug.composition.type=gpu

at build.prop?

By making the above change doolde jump graphics where improved

Cheers
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] JoseRebelo:

Is there any way I can put all the tweaks I want into a little shell 9.sh?) file, and then execute it?

I tried making a tweak.sh file in the root of /sdcard, the permissions are rwxrwxrwx, but I can't run it.

It's pretty simple, it just appends each of the options I want onto the end of the relevant file. But it saves my sanity typing in the little android terminal keyboard ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] JoseRebelo:
You may need to remount /system as rw before adding the options to the build.prop. You can use this command:

mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jeremysherriff:
/system is already mounted RW. I can't seem to create and run a simple script file.

tweaks.sh file looks like this:

su
echo debug.sf.nobootanimation=1 >> /system/build.prop

Never mind, i figured it out: /sdcard is vfat, so permissions can't be set (chmod 777 is ignored) I moved the file to /data, works fine. Cheers!
