[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chef_Tony:
what a bunch of bull

background apps are frozen on iOS, not on android, they fully run, hence the term "full multitasking".

also, just services will restart on their own, normal apps, like youtube, games and so on are fully quittable, why would they restart? do you think all your apps run all the time?

the more ram is consumed, the more power the device uses, so exitting background apps saves battery.

i am also still looking for a good task manager like the samsung stock one, because in ics, some apps just don't quit, like skifta, with the dlna server running all day the battery life goes down massively and swiping it away in the recent apps screen just doesn't quit it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyberboob:
Actually it's not a bunch of bull. You can freeze apps on android using Titanium Backup. Also you can disable some apps that you don't use (not all of them allow it) or don't use frequently with just app manager in system settings. Then you can re-enable them when needed.

You can try apps like Task Killer, etc... (and make sure you kill it too so it's not on all the time), but it's not as good as freezing with TB.

Good luck.

or is it permanently disabled?

any help is appreciated

Hi all..

When I was rooting my device I flashed cfroot-lb1 kernel and when I enter download mode I dont see odin mode,Firmware:Samsung official and those things.Its showing just downloading....as in our sgs.Is it normal?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brockyneo:
Mmm first I've heard of it don't think its normal as I usually flash kk9 stock when returning from ics ect and all works normal
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vijai2011:
I'm not returning from ICS or any custom rom.Just rotted and installer cf-root
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brockyneo:
Did you install right cf root for right firmware ie kk9 firmware kk9 root if it was me I'd start again make sure you use a directly rootable stock firmware otherwise it will not root
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kopitalk:
If you enter download mode via CWM Manager (by CF), yes it is normal.

If you enter download mode via 3 buttons (vol down + home + power), you will see those texts again.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vijai2011:
Thats what i need.thanks.but can you explain why it is so?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kopitalk:
Honestly, I don't know.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJsCrIBbLe:
Really people going into download mode doesn't start Odin.

You enter download and when in it you open Odin on your PC and connect USB to use Odin and download mode for flashing files.

Cwm is volume up +home + power until you see galaxy note screen i always hold until it shows a second time then let go and it boots cwm foe flashing rom zips etc..

What's the point of your post can i ask? What are you trying to accomplish with your phone?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vijai2011:
I dont understand why you cant understand my thread when others can.Ok the question is answered.Though I'll explain once.I rooted my note and flashed cf-root kernel.When I select reboot DL mode It directly gets into DL mode without confirmation and it doesnt show counter and other stuffs.So I asked is this normal in cf-root kernel
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vijai2011:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mvorbrodt:
Little background first: Stock GSM GNex running 4.0.2 OTA update.

I take the phone out, compose an MMS, and click to attach a photo, camera comes up, when I try to take a pic, phone reboots. It keeps rebooting, all I see is the google logo, vibrates, then reboots again. Taking out battery, sim, restarting, plugging to power, nothing worked. I finally had to install some shady off the forums drivers for Win7 64bit to see my GNEx, download SDK tools, and finally I flashed the latest google images, 4.0.4 with GWallet.

This was a very disappointing experience, I've lost about 500+ photos and videos I've had on my phone. I mean, the phone totally locked up after taking a photo!!!

Has this ever happen to anyone else?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] moe6:
Sync it to Dropbox or Google+ photos next time so you don't lose one of a kind data.

Also the installers on the forum are anything but shady.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mvorbrodt:
I did just that. Google+ now uploads to a private album.

Also, the drivers I found were not from this forum. Some other place, but they worked! I'm attaching the drivers in case others can't use GNex on Win7 64bit. See, I initially downloaded the Samsung Mobile Device drivers (file name: Samsung_USB_Driver_for_Moblie_Phones_v1_4_6_0) but that didn't allow fastboot to see the device, any idea why? I then used the attached zip, and updated the "Android 1.0" device found in device manager to "Samsung fastboot interface" device.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LVMickey:
So I've had my kindle fire for a few months now, and have had Hellfire mod on it for almost as long. Lately some of the app including dolphin browse, pulse, and facebook have started to become sluggish and sometimes it even asks me if I want to kill the app because it has become nonresponsive. Then also the home screen will occasionally be laggy and slow. Is this something that can be fixed with dumping the cashe or...what?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
You probably have apps/ads running in the background stealing resources. Run a system monitor to see what's draining your resources.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LVMickey:
Would that be something I download? Because I always kill apps when I'm done using them. And what do you mean ads running?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
There are some free apps out there that make their money with ads and data mining. Some will auto start and run in the background even after being killed. Just search the play store for things like "system monitor", "resource monitor", "CPU monitor", "background processes" etc. You might be surprised at what you find running on your device.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrewHulva:
I found Hellfire Rom to always a little drag through the homescreen. Hashcodes kernel with hwa on any ics rom has yet to lag. Its silky smooth. There is nothing keeping you from ICS not that hwa is working... well at least for me.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unagi:
Many of you out there haven’t got the chance to taste Google’s Ice Cream Sandwich yet, the latest version of Android operating system for both, tablets and smartphones. However, for us who have tried it, we can still dream and speculate and even suggest features for the next release of the proved to be a successful mobile operating system and the devices that operate on it.

Everyone wants to try out the new stuff first, but with the current upgrade path it’s kind of exhausting that you need to wait 12 months to get it for your device. Sure it’s difficult to adapt the latest features in the new version of OS with older ones, but speeding the task will improve the manufacturers’ market share and will satisfy the users.

A voice activated assistant like the one in the iPhone 4S, Siri, or the ones already in the market, will be a definite killer in Android, since iOS earned its success due to the integrated app. What we, the fans, want to see in the next system update is an app much better than the ones that are already on the market; integrating a full featured app will please the fans, since, if it’s released, it will be integrated with every service provided by Google, which everyone surely uses now.

Since Android devices are often criticized for being unsecure, improving the security should be a top priority; although the last update added new security options, it still feels that something is missing, a master password to lock the device. The master password will block unauthorized access to the download or recovery mode on the device in case it got stolen, since the device cannot be accessed with a lock code. In case the SIM card is changed, flashing a new firmware to the device will bypass that unless there is a master lock key to prevent that.

Speed and light, everyone is looking for that. When it comes to Android, no one can deny that, but the reason behind it is simply dual-core and quad-core devices that the system operates on. They cost a lot and not everyone can afford them, so they have to get mid or sometimes low-end devices. Google should consider this and try to work on a light version based on the computing speed of those devices

As for battery efficiency, Apple has done a good job or even a greater one with their energy efficiency plan for the iPhone more than Google has. Google needs to consider this, as not all Android powered devices can last long with their dual core and quad-core power-draining processors. Indeed, the battery life has improved over the latest updates but it can get better and faster this time. Google should pack the next OS with a better management app in the user interface alongside an effective energy plan.

In general, the Android OS is all about customization. This is what makes it a great OS, but to use a third party app for anything we want to add to the device is not a good idea at all. Every app that we use on the device is going to drain more power, keyboards, launchers, music players and the list goes long. Simply, what the Android community out there wants is an OS that works for them, secure, fast and light.

[Acer Iconia A500] saeba:
CIFS is one of the must haves for me with my tablet. I use it to mount Windows drives and then access comics, manga and video content on my PC. I was able to piece together items to make it work. Here's what I did:

1) Upgraded to stock ICS

2) Rooted ICS via this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1546593

3) Download kernel modules (cifs.ko, md4.ko): http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23713310&postcount=2828

4) Setup a script to install the modules and mount your drives. I use this:

#!/system/bin/sh

insmod /system/lib/modules/md4.ko

insmod /system/lib/modules/cifs.ko

mount -t cifs -o user=test,password=test1 //192.168.1.100/acer /mnt/sdcard/cifs/acer

Note: I haven't been able to get this version to work with spaces in the user, password or drive names, so I had to setup a new account and revised share names on my Windows PC. In the Honeycomb release, I could just encase the user name in double quotes (example: "first last"). But that doesn't seem to work in ICS for some reason.

Hope this helps someone!
[Acer Iconia A500] z-control:
thanks, do you think it's ok on flexreeper rom ?
[Acer Iconia A500] saeba:
The thread I took it from was this one: [ROM][ICS4.0.3] Taboonay 3.0.1

I'd think the modules should work on any general rom based on the Acer ICS 4.0.3 build. The key is that when you do insmod to load these modules, there's a check on the version of the kernel vs the version in the module. These are built as:

2.6.39.4+ SMP preempt mod_unload ARMv7
[Acer Iconia A500] z-control:
Yes, it's working simply with cifs manager !
[Acer Iconia A500] sparkly81:
Hi, do you think these file will work on a510?, that's because I put the files on:

/system/lib/modules/

but when I run this command:

mount -t cifs -o user=nas,password=nas //192.168.10.1/mnt /mnt/sdcard/cifs/mnt

on terminal my device reboot, my device is rooted, the modules are loaded successful and are displayed on cifsmanager, I have other tablet with the same configuration and not have any problem to mount that path, the kernel on my a510 is 2.6.39.4+ with ICS 4.0.3, the reboot happens when I run the command or whit cifsmanager, can you help me? thanks in advance.

PS: Sorry for my English I'm Latin.
[Acer Iconia A500] saeba:
Now that you've issued the mount command, was the /mnt/sdcard/cifs/mnt directory setup on your acer? I believe I had to use cifsmanager to initially do the mount and do the directory setup on the sdcard so I could then later use the mount command.
[Acer Iconia A500] sparkly81:
Thanks for you help, yes the path /mnt/sdcard/cifs/mnt is my dir setup, I have changed the dir to /sdcard/cifs that's because on my root dir I there's a link to a sdcard, but is doesn't work, it's always reboot, I have tried the commands via adb shell and local terminal on the device, but is the same story, one question, the cifs.ko and md4.ko they have this permission 777 and the owner is root, is this correct?
[Acer Iconia A500] saeba:
mine are set as owner system and permissions are: ---rwxr-x

So... you do the insmod and it works and then you do a lsmod and the modules are listed?

In the terminal, if you just enter "mount", does it return and list the mounted devices?
[Acer Iconia A500] sparkly81:
Thanks! I run the commands and that's the results:

[Acer Iconia A500] saeba:
Well... I'm out of ideas.

Usually, what happens is that the modules don't load because they don't match the kernel. But the "lsmod" results shows they did load.

And the mount output shows that your mount command is there and working... so I have no other suggestions. Sorry, maybe someone else has a thought?

CIFS allows you to mount the network drive and use it as if it were a local drive. There are lots of apps that will only work with network files in this manner. I use it to play movies, read manga and comics, etc. that are located on my PC.
