[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
Just need some questions answered/ suggestions.

I have ubuntu 10.04 on my HP Pavillion DV6z, and it works.. but is very crippled. It took me to hell and back to get my screen to work.. even though it won't detect my monitor but displays and I get random graphical glitches. My internet won't work through a cable anymore... and is supper slow and unreliable. I had to frakenstien my wifi drivers to make wifi even partially work. I have the windows wireless drivers for linux installed, as well as some other official drivers for my RTL8189ce wifi card that I installed via terminal. My wifi drops and reconnects quite often even though my router is RIGHT next to me. My battery lasts at the most 3 and a half hours... its a high capacity 6-cell li-ion battery. It lasts 7 hours or so on Windows and windows is a battery hog... and uses 30% of my 6gb's of RAM... Ubuntu uses 7%.

Okay now to the suggestions/questions... will newer builds help? I tried 11.10 and it wouldn't get my screen to turn on but found out about using "nomodeset" at the bootscreen and it should work... then permanetly adding that to the boot kernel. Not certain but may work. Is there a flavor of linux that is very similar to windows... or to better put universally compatible with more windows pc's? I was going to try deving and learning code but don't even think its worth it with such a crippled laptop ='[. PLEASE help me... I'm tired of being stuck with windows... love me some linux.

Not to offend/discourage anyone from helping but googling and pasting me some links isn't going to cut it trust me I've spent days on trying to fix this... and it is what it is now because of that.

So I need some real pros or someone who's been through this type of ordeal... even tho I hear most don't even get such issues.

Specs:

AMD A8 3550-mx with Radeon HD 6220g [discrete class graphics]

6gbs of RAM

Windows 7 64 and ubuntu 10.04 64bit

560gb HDD 5400rpm.

It gets the job done...

Try LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition). It fixed aprosamurai's issues. After you install it and boot up, open terminal and run this

Sudo apt-get update

Sudo apt-get upgrade

And then reboot

Ubuntu is super picky about drivers and mint debian edition 'just works'. In my opinion, Ubuntu is on a downfall as an OS for developers and has become an OS geared toward kids who want a super simple UI for just using the internet. It doesn't even natively support a full root user and the UI is incredibly hard to multitask on.

Aprosamurai had a similar graphics card (ATI built in). I have an ATI dedicated.

You shouldn't have to run any other mods after installing LMDE and doing what I said.

Ubuntu is touchwiz, LMDE is AOSP

I wouldn't call myself fluent in Linux but I am familiar and do use it on occassion (my laptop is triple booted). Have you tried the Ubuntu forums? I have had some luck with them but in general I don't think their forums users are very helpful and often ass holes. I would also try linuxquestions.org if you insist on using Ubuntu. I find them much friendlier. I also echo the above. I haven't used mint yet but only read good things about it. As soon as I am done with these last few weeks of school I am going to be replacement Ubuntu with mint.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
Awesome =]. So I can just burn an iso and install it over my current partition right? I can't put it on another parititon I have to many apparently... windows, recovery, and ubuntu. Even had to delete my "hptools" partition which was used for "bios upgrading" but just recently got an update from HP and my bios updated just as it should.... hp fail.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danipoak:
I would reformat the partition but when you boot up into the live cd I am sure it will give you the option to do so. Running the live cd first to make sure everything is working properly is always a good idea. If it isn't then you would want to hit up their forums and see if what is not working in your case is just a missing driver from the live cd and it would start working when you install it and update the OS or if there is something else going on.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MДЯCЦSДИT:
I would delete the Ubuntu partition and make a new one for LMDE to get a fresh start.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
=] alright thanks ;)... stupid xda and their 8 limited thanks..
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
So I'm installing mint and its asking for me to review the bootloader "install grub bootloader" is select for /dev/sda... is that where it goes? My partition is on sda4.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Just do what it recommends. Grub is the part where it asks windows or Linux so it should be on /dev/sda

Last question... upon sudo apt-get update its taking forever on 99%.. saying connecting to debian.linuxmint.com ?

Nevermind... its fine upgrading now..
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MДЯCЦSДИT:
It is 156.34% better than ubuntu
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
Yep.. :) its working flawlessly the sound doesnt crackle like it did on ubuntu.... :D. Im very tempted to remove my windows partition altogether :).. but i wont. :rolleyes: one issue though everytime i go to the update manager and try to let it update to 1.5 it keeps sticking.. ? wont do anything and i have to force quit it. is it normal that it freezes and is it just me jumping the gun?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MДЯCЦSДИT:
I don't use the manager. Apt-get upgrade should update everything you need. I have not yet updated to 1.5
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
hmm alright becuase i did that and i said that not everything could be downloaded and that it either is old or really couldnt connect to it.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
Just do it... its actually running quite well minus the 600+ updates I'm having to do... ='[.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danipoak:
I would if it was as simple as just installing it. Since I am triple booted (Win7, nix, and OSX) installing linux messes up my boot loader. I haven't changed OS's in a year and a half (which is some kind of record for me) and I forgot how I fixed so I have to search that out as well.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
Ew OSX gtfo =]. Jk.. it looks pretty nice... some what. =P

Yeah I hear ya was really hesitant to update my linux if I was going to have to fix it all over again.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdelano:
I think I'll wait a cpl days for the frenzy to cool down :D
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danipoak:
Well linux is my favorite just because I like open source the best. Since I am in school though you can't get away with with it because libre office is not 100% compatible with msoffice. OSX is better than windows so I went with that. Then I needed to install some cad software that was only available for windows so I was forced to install that as well. There also is absolutely no replacement for excel 2010 on windows. OSX is good stuff though you should give it a try sometime.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zman0900:
If you guys get bored with LMDE, try out Fedora 16. Fedora is usually the most up to date, which usually means most compatable. Its been my daily driver since around Fedora 10. It uses yum and rpm files instead of apt and deb files, but otherwise its pretty easy to pick up. Its got all the major desktops like gnome 3, kde, lxde, xfce, sugar, etc, and its maintained by red hat people so you know they've got their **** together.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fire n mage:
Okay, I'm a linux noob, what version of Linux should I install to start out with?

Do you think Fedora or LMDE are fine for anyone?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
Lmde.. its what I run... but I'm still new anyways. Its quite appealing ui wise if you can set it up correctly and know how to customize. Have you ever installed a dual boot os?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkierawr:
I like Cinnamon :D
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
Finally getting my updates done... took long enough... 374 updates... 700+ files to download... installing now =]. Let's hope it doesn't breaking anything....

Working just fine :) got the new genome 3.2 :D... but i cant seem to figure out how to edit the theme or add stuff to the panel :(... I did have one panic though before installation was that it said it didnt have my wireless drivers.. and that was the point of this was to keep those working perfect.. but i took the jump and its working fine.. so overpanic. :D LMDE FTW
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
Having issues again.. i cant seem to change my frequency and the system seems to think my highest frequency is my only freq and its burning through my battery at 2.0ghz.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fire n mage:
I have unintentionally XD, I ran Kubuntu via a usb drive. Which I thought would temp boot it, but after the usb broke I realized I could dualboot windows and Kubuntu lol :D
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
Haha so did you ever get lmde on there?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danipoak:
Took the plunge and put lmde on. It seems great so far. My only problem now is since I did the system update there is no minimize button on any of the windows. Wtf?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
Yeah that's gnome3 for you. It changed everything... if you want it to go back to how the original was download mate-desktop-enviroment then log off and to the left there is a selector choose MATE and everything will be back to normal :). Did this today... like it better than cinnamon and gnome3... althought gnome is more appealing mate is more functional.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fire n mage:
Noo I'm scared lol, well since I'm bored, might as well try and see
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:

i noticed that white widgets such as gmail and emails, the top part (where the title/name is) is a bit transparent, and you could see the colors of the background through it

is this normal?
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hashem Alrifai:
Hi,

Lots of sites and web services are blocked in my country, so we used to use proxy switchers in our PCs, like 'vidalia tor browser' or 'ultrasurf'.

And over that: most static proxies are blocked!

so, I'm looking for a proxy switcher app in my windows phone. I didn't find any one in the marketplace. Is there any?

Help!I actually tried to install different SE launchers but didn't installed.I also changed permission in sys(app) using root explorer but nothing happened
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shimizux:
From What i've Done,

Copy/Paste Apk to System/Media

Change Permission,

Move Apk to system/App

Be sure the Apk Name Should be Have No Space.

e.g Nova Launcher.apk Rename to NovaLauncher.apk

Permission :-

[x][x][0]

[x][0][0]

[x][0][0]

Reboot.

Hope Its Working :)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RISHI RAJ:
Sorry but can i put apk in sys(app) with root explorer.Or push is a different one
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sidkota:
Its same, push is done using adb... u cn paste it n set permissions appropriately...

But remember, there sbould be no spaces in the name of file pasted in system/app... 'my file.apk' is wrong, 'myfile.apk' or 'my_file.apk' is right...
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shimizux:
Yes you Can use Root explorer.

Make sure Root Explorer Mount as R/W not R/O.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lloir:
If i remember correctly NOVA Launcher is ANDROID 4.0.1+

ALSO try installing them instead of putting them in /system/apps if you want it in /system/apps look for the launchers on here and insert them into the .zip (the rom file) instead makes live tad easier. also save's ****ing about with the permissions

im correct about NOVA, so yea your pissing against the wind with that one ;)

I'm planing to buy ADATA UHS-1 16GB sd card so can someone tell me is it compatible with desire will it work on him with no problems ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coempi:
What class is it? If it's class 6 then it will be ok.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thermaltake868:
Now I have class 10 adata 16Gb, but this one is UHS-1 (up to 20Mb/s) there is no class just UHS-1, and they are faster then class 10 cards.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coempi:
If the ROM uses the ad card e.g. for ext partition, then a card faster than class 6 can cause lags.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thermaltake868:
Didn't know that... I was just thinking of buying myself a new faster card. Didn't have that problem with lag on this class 10 card I use Sebastian Runnymede rom, and AD2SDX.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coempi:
Then most probably you won't have problem on the new card.

I got this from the i9003 forum

Some users have feedbacked that it increased 3g speeds on other forums and increased battery life, whether or not the provider supports it, or whether they have 3g or not.

Its not tested on g3 but it should work perfectly on every android phone.

So now that I have finally warmed my cold feet with flashing the daylights out of my phone, I have been dabbling in different combinations of roms and mods to give myself, what I feel, is the closest thing that I will have to a truly unique experience for myself...

Currently, I am running the ICS alpha 2 from DaGr8, along with the 14 toggle ics themed mod and everything is freaking awesome for now...

But I wantz more! Yes I know, I am greedy, especially when I could or should attempt at doing this stuff on my own, but I just dont have te discipline nor dedication to do it.

Now to the point, I promise...

If someone could whip up a zip, flashable in cwm, that includes the ics 14 toggle mod, with a CRT animation and say, the stock ICS wallpapers and LWP's, and bootanimation, I would probably poop myself with joy.

Il'll just keep my fingers crossed for now...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ryanbmw51:
I hear you. I'm actually on the 15 toggle mod. Not sure if its the same or different but it is sick nonetheless. And blue status bar icons....very nice. CRT anim and ability to change boot anim would be epic at this point.

To respond to your request, I know some people are working on getting the crt and boot animations working on ics, I've seen it mentioned a few times in different threads that there are some issues that prevent it from being accomplished.

For the ics wallpapers you can find them all over and you just have to download them and drop it on your SD card.

I assure you people are working on it though and if someone figures it out you will see it posted in this forum.
