Thanks for the help, but how am I going to solder directly to the processor?

And if I could get the correct pins anyways there would be no need to use USB I could just hook the microsd up directly since the 4430 already has those.

If there was a data sheet somewhere out there for this specific board something like what you're suggesting might be possible, but it's not really the way it is now.

And i've never used USB host capabilities before, but from the videos i've watched people on other devices don't use a hub unless they hook up more than one device.
[Hardware Hacking General] AraKs:
I see. You are right!

Anyway, i came up with another solution for the bluetooth connectivity: it requires a bit of soldering and a couple of kernel modules (or a custom-built kernel).

You can solder some wires from the serial port of the kindle fire:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1525439

to a UART bluetooth module:

h_ttp://w_w.tdvdesign(dot)com/BluetoothModule/

Then write a script the brings up the bluetooth interface at boot.

In Linux should be feasible, in Android i don't know... maybe there's a praticular framework that needs specific drivers...

Enable kernel bluetooth+UART HCI:

[Hardware Hacking General] aaricchavez:
**Disregard**This could help with bluetooth if I can't get USB host to work, but that still leaves no solution for the sdcard, which is my primary concern. I've actually gotten all the wires soldered onto the correct pins on the usb port, but I can't get USB host to work for any device, with or without the correct modules.**Disregard**

You got me thinking though, I could probably add a UART sdcard and GPS module on like that. Awesomeness, thanks for the idea. I'll try that out if I can't get USB host to work.
[Hardware Hacking General] AraKs:
I've also seen a lot of hardware mods that connected sdcards to gpio lines. That could be an option too.

For the sdcard over UART it's possible, but i'm concerned about the performances... :confused:

At 115200bps baud rate you get 14.0625KBps!!! :(
[Hardware Hacking General] aaricchavez:
True, true. You seem to have more experience then I do at this. I'll prob buy a GPS UART module and do that. I have the wires soldered onto the USB pins on my Kindle, but I haven't had time to do anything more then that yet.
[Hardware Hacking General] AraKs:
Thank you :)

A GPS module will be very useful.

A 7" tab it's portable enough to be carried around and used with a simple car mount...

I'll look for the needed kernel modules asap ;)

[Hardware Hacking General] Deehee3:
I don't really understand why using the usb-port should be a Problem. Just solder your what-ever-you-want-device to the original usb pinout, it's big enough. Solder a rly small switch (taken from an old mobile Phone for example) between pin 4 and 5 to change host and normal mode. Finally, if u need more power there of course is a battery inside the Kindle, get it from there ;)

I'll receive my Kindle in a few days i hope (u can't buy it regularly in germany...), will play a bit with this stuff :)
[Hardware Hacking General] aaricchavez:
I've already got the wires soldered to the pins, I just wasn't able to get USB host working. And there's no room for a switch right on the pins, but I thought of a good solution. Reed switches!

Hope somebody who's tried this tweak can help me..

In the first step in terminal emulator, the fourth line.

rm /cache/dalvik-cache/*

It said no such directory found.. Tried twice but the same thing..

Step 2- do I need to add both the following lines to system/build.prop

dalvik.vm.verify-bytecode = false

dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags=v-n, o=v

I found the 2nd line already present in the build. prop.. So I just modified it without adding the 1st one...

Please tell me where I've gone wrong, I'm the first and second steps.. Cheers..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] alex88510:
For the fourth line, which show no directory found, I just skip it and manually clear cache and dalvik-cache in the recovery.

for the step 2, I just modified it if it already existed.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ivAnash:
K.. For step 2 do u just modify one line which is there in the build. prop or add the other line too..

Did anyone else notice the new permissions needed by the latest Facebook for Android app (4/22/2012ish update)?

It seems according to the permissions list (see attached screenshot), it will have the ability to access my camera at ANY time! If this is true, that sounds like an incredibly bad idea to allow this! Am I just reading this wrong? Does it really have the ability to use my camera at any time or do I have to be in the app and initiate use of the camera first?

Hi all. Earlier today i flashed OrDroid 3.0.0 after migrating from the Excellent-But-Not-Sense-4 ARHD 6.6.3. I ran the new quadrant standard v2 and got 2903 (after a fresh reboot, new GL, Bricked v1), but i have no reference since they changed the scoring scale compared to quardrant 1.x versions.

Can someone run a test?

take a look:

[HTC Sensation] Rusty!:
Does it even matter? Quadrant does not reflect real world use at all.
[HTC Sensation] Bickmista:
On ARHD 6.6.3 i got 3346 with faux's kernel
[HTC Sensation] The Janitor Mop:
I just got 2778 on 3.0.0.
[HTC Sensation] tomer1981:
that's a nice score...

And ofcourse quadrant doesn't represent real life... Its a benchmarking tool used to compare different configs on the same (or different sometimes) systems...
[HTC Sensation] sshede:
But if those numbers aren't realistic, what good are they?
[HTC Sensation] Kevin001111:
I just got 3572 with Hypernonsense with bricked 3.0 kernel
[HTC Sensation] Gtj94:
Ordroid 3.0.0 with fauxs kernel @1.6 intellidemand gave me ~3700
[HTC Sensation] fredcorp6:
It is being used as a tool for comparing the performance of 2 different ROMS, it therefore doesn't matter if its realistic or not. All that matters is it performs the exact same tests on each ROM - which it does, allowing for reliable comparison.
[HTC Sensation] sshede:
Right, I get that, but if the numbers aren't realistic, they're useless. If I told you unrealistically that gas is gonna cause 50 USD a gallon within five months, you'd shrug it off because it is indeed not realistic, correct? Same concept here. better Quadrant score doesn't necessarily mean faster phone.

For an example, my old G2 would get 1400 to 1700 on quadrant, and it was just as fast as my Sensation, which I would assume get around 3000 (don't care to test).
[HTC Sensation] bduvel:
did u compare NenaMark fps? that shows real gaming performance.

New GL 54.3 fps 1566 MHZ. OrDroid

Old gl is way lower, also try performance new GL in browser with flash video's, can open HD and scroll page smoothly.

quadrant may be low but GL with the newest flashed is really good
[HTC Sensation] tomer1981:
as said here earlier - the results don't reflect any real parameter... every benchmarking tool is used to compare between different roms / configs / addons / etc... i think its useless to compare two different devices (especially if one's old like your G2 and the other's new like your sensation), but it is best for comparing two different roms on your sensation (for example), so that you'd get an idea as to which rom gets the most out of your hardware.
[HTC Sensation] kwjimmy:
numbers doesnt matter to me, as long as the performance is solid and fast i am happy :D
[HTC Sensation] lianw:
How much of that extra squeezing yields benefit in terms of user experience?

Pretty much none.
[HTC Sensation] sshede:
So they're useless? That's all I can gather from this.
[HTC Sensation] fredcorp6:
Well the benchmark result isn't useless is it... If you use your phone for gaming and want to know which ROM has better 3D rendering performance, you could use quadrant results from the 2 ROMS to decide this, therefore getting the most out of your device. Do you see what I'm saying? Not a very complicated concept...
[HTC Sensation] sshede:
The differences seem minute. I've tried plenty of roms, and what's the difference? One extra frame a second? Two maybe?
[HTC Sensation] KAwAtA:
Unfortunately, they're all 98.9% the same (Yes, I got that reference out of my crappy brain!) I came to my conclusions due to:

- Same bases/firmware (imo, seems to make the most significant difference) - Although some are different... The latest ones = same! (ex. 3.32 firmware came out, every cooked rom is now 3.32! Only the roms that stuck with 3.12 or an older base using sense 3.0/GB would likely cause more difference, for better or for worse!)

- Kernels - This seems to be the only thing making a difference, therefore roms would be null

- "tweaks" - Don't you love the "small tweaks added to speed up rom" changelogs? That's probably your half an extra frame per second there!

so differences are very miniscule. If anything, as stated above.. probably like half an extra frame a second. Something our poor naked eye would barely notice. Don't forget, placebo screws everyone up pretty bad, so it's difficult to tell!

Like others have stated, and I agree... quadrant really isn't useful. Sure it gives you some numbers, unless there is a HUGE gap in between.. I don't think it really matters. When that happens, I'm sure you'd notice the difference anyway! I myself have not found these numbers proving anything yet

Here is my Score on Quadrant and other Benchmarks

I have made some minor changes in System Tuner. I have managed to get

Around 4050 Quadrant Score (HTC Sensation 4G - Unlocked - OrDroid 3.0.2)

6774:eek: Score in Antutu Benchmark

I have attached the thumbnails for some other benchmarks too. I guess many others know how to do it. If you want just place a reply, I will post the procedure to do it.
[HTC Sensation] fredcorp6:
Would love to know how to do this! please post a procedure!
[HTC Sensation] inspirearun:
How to Unlock your inactive Second Core?

Before I start the procedure... These are the things you need to have

1. System Tuner

2. Bricked Kernel

After having installed both the above mentioned...

Procedure to Unlock the inactive Core...

1. Open System Tuner

2. Touch "Menu" Button

3. Select "Settings"

4. Select "Active Tweaks"

5. Select "Force All CPUs Online" --> then "On Boot completed"

6. Come back to home screen

7. Go to Android Settings

8. Select "Developer Option" --> "Force GPU acceleration in 2D applications"

9. Restart the Mobile (Must)

10. Open System Tuner. Select --> CPU--> See whether both the cores show a frequency value.

Then you're ready to run any Benchmark. Remember that, I got these performance levels at 1728MHz max and 384MHz min - Interactive plan.

Further Tweaks:

1. Select "Conservative" for a balanced performance+performance

2. Or select "Interactive" for a performance level (Note: Even performance level doesn't perform like "Interactive" - I don't know why)

3. Select Minimum frequency as "384MHz"

Inference:

Having 2 cores active with 384MHz is much cooler and less power consuming than having a single core with 1 GHz or more...

If you want further assistance feel free to ask me... If you're satisfied with the procedure please don't forget to hit "Thanks"
[HTC Sensation] sshede:
Only issue there is that not all tasks use both cores, many don't. That would mean that much of the time, you're using one core at 384Mhz, which is slow.
[HTC Sensation] fredcorp6:
Although doing all that improved my quadrant score, general speed felt slower and it killed battery life. I have kept the interactive governer on though... What's the difference between interactive and on demand?
[HTC Sensation] l2icky:
Here is mine. Running my Sig.

Getting 60-62 FPS.

[HTC One X] riemervdzee:
Three stated: “Sorry to hear your battery life is poor, we're not releasing this update as we're working on the next one.”

I guess they just told there will be a next one though. Maybe they thought "Anthony Godber" was talking about the 1.27 and are working on the 1.28 straight away (like most do, it seems?). Maybe there will be a new one after 1.28 were they got some info on already. Who knows :)

If you want 1.28 that badly you could always install a custom ROM ;)
[HTC One X] kholk:
......and anyway you're not losing anything important......

I've flashed the 1.28 update and I came back to the previous one because practically everything using a keepalive connection (like some games) will crash the kernel and reboot the device.

Also, there's no battery improvement from what I see, and nothing different from the previous version, apart new bugs.

[HTC One X] Tomo1971:
Read my previous posts/replies to others about Three and the update.

Basically, I took my HOX back to the Three shop (bought it as PAYG to go with existing contract) and walked straight to carphonewarehouse and bought the SIM free model.

Got home, updated to 1.28 and the signal level was improved massively. Cant comment on battery life yet though.

As Three are a UMTS only network (with some fallback onto Orange2G in limited areas), they are the network that most needs the update as it does fix signal issues.

I would send the handset back, re-buy from carphonewarehouse as even their handsets on contract should be SIM free and unbranded (ask them first to be sure though).
