[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zman0900:
After using tw for a log time, and cm7 and cm9 for a few months each, with about the same usage pattern on each, here's what I've experienced.

CM7 > TW > CM9

CM7 seemed like a huge improvement over tw for both battery life and general non-suckingness. CM9 is pretty bad on battery life, but its awesome enough in other ways that I still use it and have no plans of going back.
[HTC One X] wizzkidd:
Hi guys,

I understand that due to the restrictions that are still inplace even after unlocking the bootloader using HTCDev.com - we have to manually flash the boot.img before flashing the custom ROM. This is fine by me (until we get S-OFF I assume). If I do a Nandroid backup of a working custom ROM, then later decide to try another custom ROM, I go through the process of wiping, then flashing the new respective boot.img and the new ROM as normal. I then take a nandroid backup of this second custom ROM.

My question is when I decide to do a Nandroid restore, lets say back to the 1st custom ROM, it doesnt work straight away, it appears I have to flash that particular ROM's boot.img again for it to work. This is annoying because it means I must be hooked up to a computer to run the ADB commands to flash the boot.img. Therefore running a Nandroid restore cannot be done while away from a PC!

Is there any way of performing a flash of a given boot.img without the use of a computer? i.e. can ADB commands be invoked in any other way?

Any ideas?

WizzKidd
[HTC One X] Evil-Dragon:
No, without S-OFF or HTC changing their security policy on boot images then we are all in the same boat. This probably could have gone in Q & A.
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
Question = Q&A Forum (for future reference)

[HTC One X] wizzkidd:
@Evil-Dragon, Thanks. i notice your sig says that your One X is unlocked, is that SIM Unlocked, or just Rooted?

Please move to the correct forum if necessary. Thanks.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] samveen:
Having run into a little trouble with the busybox grep function, I decided to build GNU grep and use that instead. The binary is attached alongside. Put it into any directory in $PATH and remove the symlink named grep (that points to the busybox binary) and you're good to go.

Note: Built with NDK r7c and android-8 API.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] phillibl:
Does anyone have experience with permissions and/or firewall apps? Such as LBE Privacy Guard, PDroid, and Droidwall?

PDroid looks promising but has to be built specifically for each rom and does not work with ICS yet. LBE seems to have a firewall built in so I have no clue if Droidwall would be necessary to run along side it.

Do these apps kill battery life or cause lag?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] phillibl:
I decided to try out LBE and Droidwall. Droidwall seems to work good and is very easy, LBE is pretty easy as well but has some more complicated features in the privacy options.

After checking Watchdog it seems like Droidwall doesn't continuously run whereas LBE does, with cpu usage jumping to 5% every few seconds.

I guess I'll stick with Droidwall for now. Does anyone else have anything to add this that I may have overlooked?

I'm too tired to do so now, but have a look over the last couple of pages in the Q&A and General forums. There have been others who had the same problem and detailed what they did to fix it. If yours is the same issue, it shouldn't be hard to fix at all. If it is not that simple, speak to Samsung for warranty purposes.

[Verizon Droid Charge] fsuinnc:
I'm not sure I am asking this correctly. but I am on tweakstock 2.0 with the BlackNBlue theme (by Stranula). I was using CoreDroid (by ztkryan) and liked it but there are few things about BlackNBlue that I like prefer. However, I love the vertical scrolling 3D looking app launcher in CoreDroid (pic). Is there a way to keep BlackNBlue but use the app launcher screen from CoreDroid? If so, how do I do that. (also, I am not sure launcher is the correct term but didn't know what to call it). Thanks.

EDIT: FYI, This question has been answered.
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
You simply install it and when you hit the home button, you'll get a choice of launchers. Pick the one you want (and set to default if you desire). However, if I'm not mistaken, CoreDroid uses EclipseLauncher2, which is only available in Eclipse or that theme. If you save the .apk off, you may be able to install it and use it, but I won't swear to that. You might want to try Go Launcher EX from the Play Store. You can customize it to look and act pretty much exactly like EclipseLauncher.
[Verizon Droid Charge] fsuinnc:
It was a bit of a surprise to me, but the CoreDroid launcher looked the same when I was on Eclipse 2.0 as it did when I tried the Coredroid for tweaked over the weekend. I just wasn't sure that the launcher had it's own .apk file. Does anybody know the name of the launcher in CoreDroid for Tweaked? or where I look to find it if I go back to CoreDroid temporarily.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ewh1292:
This does work shrike. Just copy EclipseLauncher2.apk, put it on your SD card and install via RootExplorer. I used the one in ROM Toolbox Pro. It's a pretty dang good launcher if you ask me.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ewh1292:
It's the EclipseLauncher2 from Eclipse 2.0 and from the CoreDroid theme in Tweaked 2.0.
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
Cool. I wasn't sure if there were any framework edits necessary.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ewh1292:
I wasn't sure either. I just thought I'd try it out and it worked. I did however have an interesting expericence when I installed the CoreDroid theme over the blacknblue theme with EclipseLauncher2 running on the blacknblue theme. When my phone rebooted my status bar was gone and I had no homescreen because the EclipseLauncher kept on force closing relentlessly. I had to install Tweaked over the top and start over. I'm guessing that this was because the CoreDroid theme already uses EclipseLauncher2 and the old one that I had running on the blacknblue theme became corrupt when I installed CoreDroid. Y'all might not ever experience this, but just in case, this is a heads up!
[Verizon Droid Charge] fsuinnc:
Thanks to all. I installed using CWM. Seems to work fine. I didn't realize it would take over my Home screen as well so I back to the 3 screens when I prefer just one but its kind of neat having both of them as an option.
[HTC One S] cannondale0815:
Just got this phone. My main complaint is that everything is too small on the screen, and the font size settings only marginally fix this problem, but not system wide. Do any of the custom roms change the pixel density so that It's less straining on the eyes?
[HTC One S] nickmv:
If you're rooted, you can edit your build.prop in /system to a lower number to see if that helps. However, I don't think anyone's tried yet.
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
nothing is small for me, Perhaps your eyes are shrinking lol

Put the font size on maximum, surely thats big enough for you to see

also, ASOP ROMs have DPI changed, (but i think its lowered) but perhaps you could increase it, Not sure if this would work well on sense tho.
[HTC One S] joshnichols189:
I don't believe AOSP roms change the DPI unless you do it yourself. Everything is so small because the phone is qHD.
[HTC One S] FunkyELF:
I'm not sure if this is the same as the crackling issue or not but I have been unable to use my speakerphone on this phone. Everyone I talk to says they hear themselves with an echo.

With my G2 I would have my phone plugged into my aux jack on the stereo via a 3.5mm cable. Their voices would come out of my car's speakers and I could hold the phone near my lap not needed it to be against my face. This worked well..... with the One S they hear the echo the same as just using regular speaker phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nhialor:
Any way to bump it up. It is very quiet
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
Volume+ might come in handy for you.

Kernels also include "volume hacks" but I believe the ones that are currently out only modify sound coming from the headphone jack.

Hi everyone!

My service supplier uses different APNs for internet & mms. I'm using CyberGR Mod v11, which is a 4.0.4 rom.

I find that my phone can only send MMS when wifi is connected with mobile data on, while it can't when no wifi. Of course the settings are all the same.

so here I guess that the Android OS couldn't switch APN automatically, maybe when one APN is in-use.

Anyone has any idea/information about the problem or solution?

Thanks!

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cirunz:
Hi, I'm a noob not only to Android but to Linux either. I'm aware this is probably a very old question, but I can't find a topic in wich is explained how to do this manually.

I'm using amarullz a2sd on Sandvold ICS beta 0.6.1.1, and it works fine, like most of you know, is magic works this way:

- system apps and data on nand

- apps and data on ext4

- all dalvik on nand.

So I get lot of space and very little lag.

The problem is: dalvik grows, and grows very fast, and worst of all, the system can't understand why at some point the internal memory have lot of space but it can't ever save the temp install file, or create the dalvik for a new app.

All this problems flush into the famigerate "invalid package file" error, for whose everyone has a different solution.

So we get: dalvik saturate nand = Android go crazy = users go crazy and make any sort of assertion on how to solve this (someone suggest a full wipe everytime this happen XD ).

The solution may be simple and obvious to all of you, but I'm a noob so let's pretend this is a great step for humanity: insert manually a script to put the dalvik too on ext4, on top of the pre-esistent amarullz one.

I googled some time and I come to this script that to me seems the best way:

su
cp -pr /data/dalvik-cache /system/sd
rm -r /data/dalvik-cache
ln -s /system/sd/dalvik-cache /data/dalvik-cache

(Ok I'm aware the cp is not necessary, but this way I have not to bother about rains of FC until I reboot and system recreate dex files).

That seems to do the magic... but here my two questions:

1) Simple matter: how to make this permanent on reboot? I have to insert it in a text file in init.d? the number on the file name count for the order of execution in respect to other scripts?

2) Not so simple (for me): why "/system/sd" ? I thought the path to the ext4 is "/sd-ext", so the correct dir is not something like "/sd-ext/my-dalvik" ??

If this is right, the correct script must be this way:

su
cp -pr /data/dalvik-cache /sd-ext/my-dalvik
rm -r /data/dalvik-cache
ln -s /sd-ext/my-dalvik /data/dalvik-cache

(Clearly the cp and rm parts will not be present in the boot script).

Am I right?

DISCLAIMER:

- I'm not discussing if amarullz is good or bad, every post on this subject will be ignored. I like it, I just want to change this thing.

- Posts that invite me to not install tons of apps and live a life of abnegation will be ignored as well.

- Sorry for my english

- Sorry if I'm verbose: I just want to be clear on the explanation.

I have some questions about tweaking LWW..

my kernel is rage kernel v2.7 for CM 7.2

my ROM is the latest CM 7.2

1. How do I know if the tweaks in the build.prop working? Does it have a compatibility in the kernel or ROM?

2. I tried to tweak my kernel governor and I/O scheduler but I think nothing happens, I tried using antutu benchmark and playing some games but the results is bad.

3. I added bravia engine tweak in my build.prop, how do I know if it works? Or do it even work for LWW because it has no built-in bravia engine.

sorry if I'm asking this questions, I'm new in android so sorry again.

Thanks for the answers I'll get.. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
1. If you have saved the modifications and restarted your phone, then these are working.

2. Governors and I/O schedulers have quite small influence on performance. Also, benchmarks do not show much useful information.

3. If you have files correctly placed and correct modifications in build.prop done, then you should see an option in Settings-Display. If not, something went wrong and do it again, correctly this time.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] rerenznz:
Thanks for the answers.

But if governors and I/O scheduler does not affect performance, then what do I need to do to have a better performance for my phone? And about the Bravia Engine can I even use it in CM 7.2?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
The performance difference isn't big, governors change info about how fast can processor clock speed change.

Bravia Engine should in theorie work on all ROMs.
