[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] peetr_:
I am with the OP. Most of the "tweaks" means nothing. I am zialigning my rom, while building it. And do not even mention it in the posts, because it's obvious. And every apk on Market and stock rom is zipaligned, until it's recompiled.

Many devs include some "ui rendered with gpu" tweaks in gingerbread, when it's not possible. First android that renders ui with gpu is ICS. Except roms with 3D rendering, like Motorola Blur 2.

Never found any benefit in performance when optimizing databases. Only thing, that increases performance for me, is the library without "sync".

Etc., etc.

But some tweaks are useful. Mostly those, that are already used in CM roms. ;-)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] phatryan69:
Do we have to have certain drivers to run that just like voodoo sound??
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Aquethys:
Search Beats on market. The app will create CWM-flashable zip
[Samsung Captivate Glide] phatryan69:
I have the zip acutally
[Samsung Captivate Glide] roothorick:
What the hell does it do anyway?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Aquethys:
Does what...beats? It improves sound quality. Why do you think htc implements that in their phones?

Sigh. Please, we're all here to help or learn...

Similar to what the devs say it's none of your business what we choose to do to enhance our phone experience...:)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] phatryan69:
Well I've heard that ics is supposed to have it implemented. So
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Aquethys:
Well it's not HTC so I doubt it...GSIII doesn't.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] roothorick:
I'm not deriding anyone, I just want to understand what it's all about. Improves sound quality? How? I'm a technical guy, I want to know the gritty details.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] ajt1995:
Yeah, how? I can verify that it DOES work. Still, why doesn't samsung do that?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Aquethys:
I think htc has a pact with beats. Idk.

@roothorick: good point...although there is significant difference between apple earphones and beats...I jjst don't know how :P
[Samsung Captivate Glide] roothorick:
Oh, I know there's a HUGE difference in headphones when it comes to sound quality, although I have to question whether Beats headphones can really compete with the entry-level audiophile gear from more trusted companies (e.g. Sennheiser HD2xx, Grado SR60/SR80), especially at their price point. But that's a topic for another thread.

I'm always weary of any software that claims to improve audio quality. It's quite rare for automated DSP to offer a real improvement over the original signal. But I want to give it the benefit of the doubt and take a closer look at pricsely what it does first-hand.
[HTC One S] sherifone:
I searched everywhere and haven't seen any reports on this.

Does anyone else have serious call quality problems, only when using WIFI calling on T-Mobile? I get a terrible crackle/static fairly often.

I thought at first it was the built-in earpiece but I don't have this problem as soon as I switch off WIFI calling (and call over the 3G network).

What I also thought was interesting, is that when in WIFI calling... I can use my bluetooth headset or speakerphone and have zero interference/cracking sounds.

Let me know if you have any tricks, or if I should get this thing repaired by HTC! Thanks :)
[HTC One S] amirica:
WiFi Calling Crackling

I'm having the same issues with WiFi calling. I experienced a couple times and thought it might just be a bad connection, but apparently it's more than that. Hopefully the MR update (whenever that is) will address this
[HTC One S] sherifone:
Yeah I don't think swapping the handset is going to help this one, hopefully an update comes out soon to address the WIFI calls. And hopefully Skype comes out with one too, because its static as all hell too.
[HTC One S] millowster07:
I have the same issue. It was delayed as well. Odd.
[HTC One S] ValliJoe:
I am also having that experience with Skype calls and really bad with video calls and GTA 3. Could it be beats integration?
[HTC One S] sherifone:
Don't think the beats affect calls since its coming through the earpiece. Guess we're going to need some software updates. T-Mobile mentioned there will be an update to address Wifi Calling battery life, maybe they'll sneak a fix in. I've reported it to T-Mo and HTC... You guys should too.

Overall I'm pretty happy with the phone, minus the pain in the butt power button! Its so flush with the case, it is difficult to press.
[HTC One S] ValliJoe:
yea i also heard about a update rolling out looking forward to it
[HTC One S] DownloaderZ:
+1

Getting a slight / medium crackle during conversations on wifi. Crystal clear on GSM.
[HTC One S] Blackjack3d:
I get the crackle too, any word on a fix?
[HTC One S] skeeboe:
Just a reply to say I have the same issue on two One S phones from tmobile. I had to set wifi calling to use cell when available, as opposed to using wifi when available. The crackle was so "sharp" and pronounced that I was about to return my phones because it really sounds like a hardware issue/loose speaker parts in the earpiece! Thankfully, it works great with GSM, so it seems to be software only. And, if I need wifi calling in a pinch, I'm willing to put up with the crackles. If I had to rely on it (due to low signal in my house), it would be very frustrating.

Also on wifi calling sometimes callers could not hear me, or I them. That only happened a couple of times to me, but was a major reason I demoted wifi calling.

By the way, this phone is absolutely amazing! Fast, fast, fast, great screen, great battery, great metal shell... would love to remove Sense because it buries all the Google App integration and favors everything else, but that's a personal opinion.

Skeeboe
[HTC One S] sherifone:
Yeah the feel and speed of this phone are just incredible. It just seems like there is some software kinks that need to be worked out.

Another one I've run into recently is YouTube links directing me to the mobile site rather than the native app (which is another problem with the 3 dot menu lol).

I hope they don't rush the first update and work to address some of these quirks.
[HTC One S] kaeruil:
Yea, I had the crackle issue on my first handset (kept having it randomly reboot) but haven't tried on the new handset since it seems they now have to enable the wifi calling feature on the account and my account is to old to enable it...or so they claim.
[HTC One S] Blackjack3d:
Wait so is the wifi calling crackle you t-mobile guys in the States get the same as the crackle I get when using Skype on my One S in the UK?
[HTC One S] mannequin:
US t-mobile here. skype's crackle is much worse, impossible to deal with. wi-fi crackle is sporadic and annoying.
[HTC One S] Blackjack3d:
I'm completely confused about the whole crackle thing now. I've seen and read about your US T-mobile wifi calling which I now understand and skype crackles a heck of a lot for me. So I assumed that it was a VOIP calling problem but I used Viber to call someone over wifi last night and there was no crackle at all on a 30 minute call. Oh well I won't complain about that, would be nice if skype was working for video calls though :p
[HTC One S] dcam1075:
I am experiencing the same issue with WiFi calling too, which is a pain because I primarily make my calls over WiFi. It was so bad on a conference call today I had to switch phones. Anyone know if this is a known issue for T-Mo yet, don't want to call into care if they are already aware of it. Also, out of curiosity does anyone know if this was an issue before the most recent firmware update?

Thanks!
[HTC One S] mannequin:
it's hard to say if T-Mo knows about it but they didn't acknowledge anything regarding this issue, only the battery drain related to wi-fi calling. all T-Mo US HTC One's suffer from it.
[HTC One S] BTTRDYZ:
I have reported it twice to TMO, first time I was told they didn't know about it. The second time a few days later, they were aware of the issue but couldn't tell me if/when they were going to push an update out for the crackle issue. If I were u guys I would report it so they may push something quicker rather than having horrible comments about their flagship ICS device!
[HTC One S] thephased:
Just purchased an HTC One S today.

I talked with T-mobile earlier today and showed them the link to the t-mobile support forum thread created for the Wifi calling quality issues (crackling/delay) on the HTC One S.

They told me that they are aware of the problem and it's a known issue. I didn't press them for a timetable to fix it or anything.

Everyone who's experiencing wifi calling issues should at least take a moment to call in to tech support or chat with a t-mobile tech rep.

We need to make sure they address this quickly. I know a lot of people rely on wifi calling on t-mobile in spotty/bad signal areas. I sure do.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] Shane:
GUY'Z ANYONE CAN PORT APEX LAUNCHER HERE IS THE LINK https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.anddoes.launcher&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5hbmRkb2VzLmxhdW5jaGVyIl0.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] olarf:
apex launcher is for sure a great launcher but made for ICS and so I guess a porting wont be possible / the developer wont be focus on that because they looking forward :)

It would be even more interesting to get ICS for the Y series but maybe the 887 MHz are not enough to make ICS smooth on it. Maybe a lite system could work. ANother Problem can be the different number of Models like Y, Y Duos, Y Pro, Y Pro Duos. As more Y series users would be active here, as more attractive will this modle be for developers I think.
[LG Revolution] iamjerry123:
I love my Revo, but I feel like I have too much widgets, therefore lack ram. that's why I want to see what type of widgets you use, and see how much ram that takes nad how much ram you have on average

I use facebook widget, color note widget, a clock, beautiful weather, a calendar widget, the my verizon, the notifications for GO launcher, and of course GO launcher.

when I clear my ram, I have about 160 mb of ram. (including email music and smart keyboard pro)

I feel like I'm lacking alot, and this prevents me from playing high quality games.
[LG Revolution] JetBlue:
Yea you have kinda a lot of widgets. Right now the only widget I use is the advanced task killer. I use to use the Sense 4 Widget until I decided to use something new. Just divide your widgets down into what you really need then you should have less widgets.
[LG Revolution] elreydotcom:
indeed, the only widget I use is the SIMI clock widget on my main screen
[LG Revolution] gimpcell:
I use all seven desktops and have them full of widgets. I decided this time around to only use widgets that came with the phone. The phone has no problems with RAM or battery. Seriously, not kidding. However, I have downloaded a couple apps that include widgets like Equalizer, SetCPU and WiFi teather.
[LG Revolution] iamjerry123:
So how much ram do you have
[LG Revolution] gimpcell:
My point is I stopped caring for it. I learned to trust the phone. On a good day I have noticed it stay steady at 40. On a busy day it goes down to 20-15. I use adw and have the dock and status bars hidden which saves a few bytes. The battery still lasts about 20 hours. That's with me plugging at twelve at night.
[LG Revolution] iamjerry123:
So you never clear the ram?

Because when I don't it really lags sometimes... \: So should i just deal with it ?
[LG Revolution] JetBlue:
You do know 40 ram is bad?
[LG Revolution] gimpcell:
After my second revo I stopped downloading and installing crap games and apps that have in-app ads. It seriously helps with battery and phone speed. I do get the common launcher restart and a few screen freezes here and there but nothing that makes me want to throw my phone because of lag. I guess its just preference. I can capture my phone statistics and email them to you so you can compare.
[LG Revolution] iamjerry123:
Yes that'd be great!

BTW My phone even though it has like 60mb of ram that's when it starts to lag. Is this weird? because wheres the other 60 mb?..
[LG Revolution] gimpcell:
Its not bad. I use my homescreens for 80 percent of activities and tasks. This phone really is badass. It helps if you minimize the amount of third party apps.
[LG Revolution] JetBlue:
Personally, I hate anything LG because of this phone. It's a decent phone but never again will I get an LG phone.
[LG Revolution] iamjerry123:
Like when I play scramble with friends, it lags then my whole phone lags, when i get like a text or something. then i cant even go to the task amanger to end it because it's so laggy so i end up taking out the battery.
[LG Revolution] Haxcid:
I have 3 screens, 2 widgets running, 147 meg in use 154 free on stock rooted and things are pretty smooth. As much as I like MT's work and respect it, break out 1.1 just lagged to much for me. Even after boosting the low end core speeds coming out of sleep it would take forever for the phone to become responsive, stock for me is snappy, out of sleep the phone dialer opens immediately etc... I get great battery life on stock and as much as I dislike LG phones now, I do like home except the lack of being able to change the icons on the dock. I really would like different links. I have been off charge for 14 hours and still have 78% battery left light usage.

:::EDIT:::

NM just figured out how to change the links... lol... Had this damn thing a year and never knew... I like home a lot now...
[LG Revolution] keynith:
I have ons screen using the status bar widget and I use the sstcpu widget. That's it. Widgets slow it down when you have a bunch running at once.
[LG Revolution] nasaiya:
One thing worth mentioning in this thread is that you should remember android is linux. Linux utilizes ram a bit differently than what you're likely used to (Windows). A windows computer generally fills up the ram with all sorts of nonsense until it gets full, starts overflowing the data onto the hard drive, and lags (especially if you have a bunch of poorly written programs running all the time). In other words, on windows, more free ram is better, and that's pretty much all there is to it.

Linux (and therefore android) suffers from the same problem of course, if you fill up the ram completely by opening way too many programs it will still overflow the data to a swap partition.

On the other hand Linux tends to try to use the ram more agressively, because ram is much faster than the hard drives, so you tend to see the ram relatively full most of the time, especially when there isn't much of it to begin with, which is usually actually a GOOD thing... It means linux is doing it's best to go faster!

Again, of course completely running out of ram isn't good, you can still open too many programs and overwhelm the ram on linux/android, but the point is just because you see a lot of ram usage, doesn't necessarily mean there's a problem.

On another note the lag on my phone (with broken out) was clearly due to cpu governing... once I got my hands on the blitz kernel and set the min and max to decent settings I've not had it lag at all -- and it was BAD, lagging horribly ALL the time before that. I usually have a ton of crap running all the time too btw.

Just my 2 cents...

Edit: I should add that I'm not an expert by any means, but I'm fairly confident the above is correct. If not, sorry, it's only worth 2 cents!
[LG Revolution] keynith:
i believe you are correct good sir.

As with making sure your RAM is under control, you can either use a task kiler or the one that is included in zep's supercharger. Shouldnt need to worry about RAM in newer phones as many will have 1gb+ DDR3 availible.
[LG Revolution] capt730:
Saw the signature with the new tf300. How is it? Specs look nice and I have been looking to upgrade from my old gtab.
[LG Revolution] keynith:
haha i love it. i got the keyboard dock and its exactly like a laptop with it attached. although it doesnt have the screen like the prime, i paid 550 for both the keyboard and the tablet and the ICS is very nice. 32gb tab is 400 and 150 for the keyboard.
[LG Revolution] SmokinHawtVegasChic:
I use Launcher Pro, and for whatever reason can only get 3 desktops (don't know why) anyway, I currently use GO Weather Widget, My widget for school, Facebook, Twitter, Rift (MMORPG), Sleep Bot. Rift and Sleep bot only take up 3 spaces on my main screen. the GO Weather is a 4x2 but they have a 2x1, 2x2 and 4x1, I like the 4x2 cause it has more stuff on it and its skins are fun too.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ChristianL2012:
Greetings everyone! Can anyone shed some light as to a possible reason why the "in-app" settings menu's on the Skyrocket's stock Camera app would display behind the on screen image or other 3rd party Camera apps (IE Camera+ ICS) do not display the camera control UI when requested? I'm having a heck of a time solving this issue. My Skyrocket is rooted if that helps. I've completed a wipe/factory reset and still have this issue. any insight/solution would be helpful. :D

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] swallaces:
I tried flashing CM9 Nightly without doing anything else before flashing on CWM 5.5 something like a dork and now my tablet wont get off the bootscreen. I tried restoring a backup from around Febuary and it wont even charge on it's original wall charger: I turn it on, shows a red battery and shuts off. Wat do? BTW it was rooted through the ASUS app. I think I sound pretty f'd. My only real thought would be flashing something else through the MicroSD slot, if I could boot into recovery. Wat do? :eek:

[Ideos S7 General] dannystppls:
Hello everyone,

Development for this device is dying.

I don't know if it's because there aren't alot developers for this device,

but i personally want to see some more different roms for this device with their

own pros and cons.

Maybe we can get some more people for this device to develop,

by putting up a tutorial on how to build roms and make modifications to them.

I myself am not a developer, but im eager to learn.

Therefore i ask the few developers here, would you please work together in putting a tutorial up?

I will gladly help wherever i can.

And maybe that will bring some new life into this old but good device.

I just need some help. Some dude is trying to trade me a iPhone 4s 32gb for sprint but I don't even know if you can surely unlock it for T-Mobile..any help appreciated.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] nyamd20:
Im pretty sure you cant since sprint is CMDA
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] qbanlinxx:
Definitely can not be used on t-mobile
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] witeboy07:
The reason I ask is because its cdma and GSM. Been searching around and seems that it can be unlocked with gevey but no sure truth.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gypsy214:
i used to work with jailbraking iphone!!

the new iphone 4s its a worldwide phone!!

it have all the chips on the phone the CDMA and the GSM with only ATT VERIZON AND SPRINT frequencies

so yes you can unlock the iphone 4s with sam method and make it work with tmobile

remember you will only get edge not 3g/4g

---------- Post added at 01:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:10 PM ----------

not all the phones from CDMA are only CDMA the Razer from verizon can work on tmobile, the motorola phanton from sprint works on tmobile etc etc
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] afbengochea:
Sam method no longer works, so the unlock isn't possible anymore
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JPOKeefe:
Yes you can its cdma and GSM as long as it is on firmware 5.0.1 and not 5.1, you can jailbreak it and use the Sam unlock tool. But I wouldn't reccomend doing that because it can only use edge.. and well T-Mobile edge is terribly sloooooooooooooooooooooooooow. Like it take 4 minutes to locate you on google navigation.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gypsy214:
sorry to go off topic!! but i am loving my Samsung T989 white better than my iphone 4S
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] witeboy07:

So if I was to traded. Which unlock would I need..the gevey ultra s for xemacs or GSM I'm confused.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mike3394:
Don't do it. You will only get edge data (2g) and the iPhone does not compare at all the the galaxy s ii. (Unless you like really simple boring phones) the only thing the 4s has on the galaxy s2 is more apps, but android is catching up. I've had an iPhone on T-Mobile and the data speeds are unbearable.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] witeboy07:
The reason I'm trading to is to sell thar phone and get the note.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jtroye32:
So.. Why do you care if it's unlockable if you are going to sell it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gypsy214:
because i used to get double the money if the phone was jailbroken or unlock..

if you wanna get the note just trade your s2 with a note some people just dont like the big screen after they got it and the only phone similar is the s2 plus it is confirm that the tmobile s2 works on att 4g!

so no pro there
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] funziebear:
I have a note for sale cuz the 4g speeds suck , I would stick with the gs2 for now T-Mobile will release their note soon just wait for that seems like tmobiles version will have different chip set only one guy had gotten an att note to work on 4g pretty good but he modded the antenna
