[HTC EVO 3D] xCLUx:
ah, i see. so where does the performance increase come from then if it has such negative effects?? i am a little confused because there seems to be conflicting information. and i agree with you about the arrgance... the op is currently "suspended" from xda? lol funny.

anyways, as far as the governor of cpu1 is concerned, in /system/etc/qcom.init.post_boot.sh there are command lines to set scaling gov for cpu1... so how is the second core not governed anymore???

basically what i am asking, is what service does the mpdecision file provide for the second core? it can't be that it allocates work load to it... that would be done at the kernel level wouldn't it??

EDIT*** i have never actually pulled apart the mpdecision binary file for ICS, so i am not completely sure what it does entirely. all i do know for certain is that it is basically the "switch" for cpu1 coming online and offline.
[HTC EVO 3D] twistedumbrella:
The performance comes from there being no off switch. It's more than just a straight on off is what I was implying. You have an electrical outlet with a light plugged in. If the light were just an on off switch, and you always left it on, taking out the switch still closes the circuit and it stays on. If it had a dimmer switch, taking it out has the same result, but you can't still dim it when you only want it mostly on.
[HTC EVO 3D] xCLUx:
ok i think i see where you are going with this. so you are saying that it is unnecessary to remove it entirely, because yes it does increase performance, but why not just edit the mpd file to act as a screen on/off profile for cpu1. right? if i followed that...

if so, that is kind of what i was getting at with my observation. it seems much easier to just remove it, and leave both cores on at all times (which ICS apparently benefits from because of the way "dual core" is implemented) or remove it, and add your own scripts (such as those i see in mean ROM) to manually control the second core... instead of edit a binary file on your computer, repackage it, etc etc...

does that make sense or am i simply confusing people lol
[HTC EVO 3D] physix:
Hrmm . . . One of the steps was to basically make that system/etc folder editable.

There wasn't anything explicit in the instructions to go back and revert the permissions so that it was no longer editable.

Maybe there's something in the ROM you have -- or ICS in general -- that goes back and throws it back in?

(Just thinking out loud, here. My 3 years of moderate programming classes (taken over 5 years ago) is remedial at best.)
[HTC EVO 3D] twistedumbrella:
I never said edit the binary. I said better prepare the init script and use system scripts to maintain it.
[HTC EVO 3D] xCLUx:
ah, right here. so that command:

service mpdecision /system/bin/mpdecion --no_sleep .... etc etc... effectively just edits mpdecision to have screen on/off profiles? makes sense

[HTC EVO 3D] SinisterChedda:
I did the tweak but kept mpdecision running because start mpdecision and start thermald were in same function in my rom. I did it just to see if both cores would activate after a reboot and they did. Success. I was wondering how to open the mpdecision file in /system/bin to look at it? None of my file managers will open the file. Any ideas.
[HTC EVO 3D] shizkoff777:
If you enable root u should be able to ling press on the file to open but I'm not sure usually if something won't open I extract it then it will let ya
[HTC EVO 3D] SinisterChedda:
Thanks for trying. It is a unknown file type. Used 2 file managers with root permisions. I even tried opening with Linux terminal also. Su also.
[HTC EVO 3D] ch1naski:
This is what I get when opening it with estrong file explorer...

Opened as text.
[HTC EVO 3D] danaff37:
See how it begins with the letters ELF? That means binary file.

This is what the file command on Linux boxes typically do, is look at the first few chars to determine its file type.

Edit: busybox doesn't have the file command, but you can run head -1 filetocheck to see that without opening the whole file.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cartervt2k:
My xoom was running the latest ICS 4.04 (stachre modded recovery). I was attempting to revet it to stock, so I found a guide and followed these steps:

1. Download this file to your computer: HRI39.zip (you may have to register)

2. Extract the contents into your Android SDK Tools folder.

3. Open a command prompt from within your Android SDK Tools folder.

4. Type: adb reboot bootloader

5. Type: fastboot flash boot boot.img

6. Type: fastboot flash system system.img

7. Type: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

8. Type: fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

9. Type: fastboot erase cache

10. Type: fastboot oem lock

11. Your XOOM will now re-lock and you should be ready for the update.

Everything flashed perfectly, but now when I reboot I'm stuck on the "Dual Core" splash screen. Any ideas? Thanks!

EDIT: Sorry, I'm an idiot. This is what happens when you flash the recovery files for the Verizon Xoom and not the standard Wifi version.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] novian:
try this

in your boot logo press vol up + power ---> restart your XOOM

after that (when Motorola logo DUAL CORE show up) quickly press vol down ---> enter recovery mode

just flash your ROM again after that reboot.

your xoom will be fine.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gtmaster303:
My scenario is a little unique

I run this phone unlocked on AT&T without data. I actually have a data block on my plan, so my phone doesn't use any extraneous data from apps I can't control when I'm out of a wifi hotspot

My only problem is, I DO have unlimited texting, which also includes picture messaging. But if I block data, I can't receive picture messages.

Is there any way to block data but still be able to receive picture messages?

I'm trying to use this app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jeffdonahue.smozzy&hl=en

It is a great concept and would definitely become popular with some love.

Nice way to save data in a pinch too, or forgo the data plan all together if you don't use it much.

But I haven't been able to figure out how to have picture messaging enabled with data blocked.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] KingCheetah:
Short and long answers to your question

Unique is a bit of an understatement, given that most carriers require a data plan in order to purchase a smartphone in the first place. :confused:

Short answer, AFAIK, yes. SMS (text) and MMS (multimedia messages) work fine over the standard cellular connection. They don't require wi-fi or the carrier's data network to be active.

To elucidate: I'm on T-Mobile, and though I signed up for the mandatory 2 GB data plan, I rarely use it because I control how my phone accesses wi-fi and T-Mo's data network. In Settings|Wireless & networks, Wi-Fi is off unless I need to use it, be it my home connection or a free provider like Panera while I'm at the restaurant. Likewise Mobile network is set to off, as well as Settings|Accounts & sync|Background data and Auto-sync (separate settings). I use the Extended Controls app for a detailed widget that includes wi-fi and data network toggles for when I need to use these capabilities. My husband is hearing impaired, so we communicate a great deal using SMS and MMS; and we've not had any difficulty with wi-fi and data network switched off.

In closing, it's to your benefit to thoroughly read the manual for the MT4GS. This information and more can be found there. Here's a link for the pdf from T-Mobile (the manual is by HTC, though): http://support.t-mobile.com/servlet...2-102-2-3529/mytouch-4g-slide-user-manual.pdf

Hope the above info helps --

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gtmaster303:
You can run any phone on your carrier without data, as long as they can't recognize what it is (i.e. an unlocked phone from a different carrier)

But back to my question, AT&T tech support has told me that data needs to be enabled in order for me to receive MMS as part of my unlimited texting. On a non-smartphone, that would be no problem because there are no apps that constantly pull data in the background. If I disable mobile data on my phone, will my MMS still work? That's what I'm trying to do. Otherwise there's no way for me to avoid pay per use data charges, because my phone will keep pulling data
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Why not try and see what happens, then let us know?

Sent from a digital distance.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] idlechatter:
I've been able to receive mms by disabling data, and deleting the "data" apn. Keep the mms apn, since if you delete that, you will not receive mms.

I have the connect to internet setting disabled, and have been able to receive MMS.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gtmaster303:
Lol, I did, but I just wanted to make sure I wasn't doing something wrong. It didn't work for me, that's why I asked

How do I know which is which?

I have about 8 APNs

I have attached screenshots of the list

The second picture is the same list, but just includes the other half of the APNs.

If you could let me know which one to delete, that would be great
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] pantheis:
Delete all Wap.cingular apns, leave the others. You must have data pay per use at a minimum to use mms because mms messaging functions over the data network. This is the same on all carriers. It's just how mms works. On Att, the data used as part of mms messaging is included in your messaging plan and will not charge your data pay per use.

Hope this helps!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gtmaster303:
Thanks for the reply.

So if I enable data on my phone now, apps won't rack up data, will they?

MMS is a part of AT&T messaging, even though it uses data, you are correct.

I just don't want the rest of my phone pulling for pay per use data

Hi!

I need some help. I've been creating my first MIUI based ICS ROM for Xperia neo. It works pretty well, almost everything is done.

But I got stuck on a problem regarding the keyboard. I could put in, it appears when it has to.

Writing, changing panel, autocorrect and QWERTY keyboard (landscape and portrait) also works perfectly but when I tap on smileys the app suddenly stop working.

The following are already installed in system folder: sytem/app: textinput-tng.apk

sytem/lib: libXT9Engine.so

sytem/usr: lotof xt9.ldb file (33 pieces) Does anybody know what else I should install?

:eek: :mad: :confused:REALLY hope someone can help me, bout to flip out...My Asus TF101 received an update the other day that got installed, (5/3/12) , and as soon as ICS rebooted to apply update i get the laying down Android with red Gear (or exclamation point, cant remember).I turn off, back on, and it dumps me directly into ClockworkMod5.5.0.4,....I have manually tried to install other Recovery images, to no avail.. tried to do ADP push but am getting "cannot perform action: read only file system). Ran command to remount and reset file system to RW, whats weird is i can sit and watch the solarnz recovery unzip, validate, install, and say success (through CWM recovery)....then I reboot, as prompted after new image flash and 5.5.0.4 CWM REMAINS!! only way to get into ICS is vol - and power and wait for RCK mode and dont press anything..."Wipe Data/Android" screen appears and I can start ICS from there. I just want CWM GONE and my Tablet to start normally. I'd take back Stock in a heartbeat... Thanks to anyone that may be able to offer a little guidance.. Thanks!!

[General Questions and Answers] bkwatkins:
If you can still get into CWM than you are GOOD..i WAS able to flash an old verson of CWM that supported externalSDcard support(cause 5.5.0.4 doesn't)..

cant find exact one. i sent TF101 to ASUS, RMA'ed my device..and they fixed it WITH SU and ROOT evidence probably everywhere. Tried to get rid of it but im sure they could find something. anyway, I justed adb pushed the older CWM rom , it was army greenish text and had far more options if that helps, support for extSD, 5.2 keeps ringing a bell..don't quote me though. then selected "install zip from sdcard" on your 5.5.0.4 and navigate to the folder you pushed it to with ADB..(if you need directions for pushing the rom lemme know) Wish i could remember for ya. Google "CWM android" under images and find the green looking one, maybe youll get the version number that way :) I have read that a C series bootloader unlocker for Transformer is about to be released... enabling NVflash to work on the device. NO MORE softbrick!!!! It took 6 months for the B series to come out, figured it would take about this long.
[General Questions and Answers] itimees:
Solution to help totally screwed TF101G with CWM 5.5.0.4! Go into CWM, PC discovers "Transformer" device. I found in somewhere "1-Click Transformer Root_1.1" software. Find, download and unzip. Search manually driver in these folders, inc subfolders. Founds ADB bla bla bla driver... I copied folder "Source" to C:\ and started CMD in Start menu. Go to "Source with CMD. Write "adb start-server" "adb devices" and you could see device 12345.....! I tested command "adb pull /sdcard/ c:\ (or other order, but was smth like that). Old backup files was in C:\ like clockworkmod! And download .zip with full rom and do that:"adb push c:\myromwhateveritnameis.zip /sdcard/" and with CWM install .zip!

This technique worked on my 3 months bricked TF101G, that's why I registered today here and shared experience. And you do not have to replace your 5.5.0.4, because it is working solution.
[Hardware Hacking General] nakamoniel:
OK, we all know about Verizon using lower spectrum and AT&T using upper spectrum of 700MHZ but i could never understand how HARDWARE WISE they can make a radio that would only support such a thing, I am under impression that it is the software optimized for using either upper or lower spectrum and if block the other half. I just read how flashing correct radio enabled AT&T GALAXY NOTE to be used on t-mobile, i am not an expert nor i have resources, but has anyone attempted to flash verizon radio on at&t phone or vice versa and see if phone is actually capable of running on both networks? Please explain me if there is any flow in my understanding or is it actually feasible? :confused: would be great to break monopoly of at&t and Verizon over their LTE phones even though they utilize same 700MHZ band.
[Hardware Hacking General] Product F(RED):
Certain chipsets with an integrated radio/modem support multiple bands. Like you said, in the case of the Note, XDA devs were able to flash a different modem that told the radio to tune to a different frequency that it supported. Same with the Skyrocket, and, if the T-Mobile SII had an LTE mode, that would have worked too. But not all chipsets can do multiple frequencies on one chip.
[Hardware Hacking General] ChpStcksRlz:
Well you'll have a problem of dealing with a CDMA phone trying to run on a GSM network primarily. I think Verizon's system has to verify you're on their primary CDMA network then allow you to connect to their LTE network. Where as an AT&T phone would just connect you to their GSM and then it bumps up to LTE. My speculation is that if you connect a Verizon World Phone with LTE on AT&T with the correct radio it MIGHT work. But it won't work the other way around as AT&T's phones don't have CDMA (which is used to verify and connect you to the LTE network)
[Hardware Hacking General] Product F(RED):
You will never get a CDMA phone to work on a GSM network or vice versa (aside from global CDMA phones with SIM slots for GSM roaming). LTE phones on Verizon use a their own authentication that's separate from their CDMA-only 3G phones. With the LTE phones, there is no ESN/MEID associated with the device; it's the SIM that is authenticated and then the phone attached to it can use it to transmit and receive data, texts, and calls.

But that's besides the fact; CDMA and GSM are more than just frequencies; they're two different methods on how a phone communicates with towers. CDMA is Code Division Multiple Access, and GSM is based off of TDMA, which is Time Divided Multiple Access. It's kind of like saying, because two people are Chinese, they will both speak one dialect, which in fact there are two; Mandarin (GSM) and Cantonese (CDMA) which are similar but different.
[Hardware Hacking General] el_venga:
some CDMA+LTE devices can be used with other carriers even with the different authentication, carriers that barely have 1X cdma coverage. the conversion of the MEID to pESN is done with a different method that is of course if the DEC MEID can be retrieved, not the HEX MEID.
[Hardware Hacking General] Entropy512:
Hardware wise it's damn easy to make a radio that doesn't support the upper/lower part of the band - just use a narrower frontend filter.

In fact, doing the opposite is hard - having wideband support without compromising the performance of your bands of primary interest is extremely difficult. Filtering out the "don't care" part of the 700 MHz band can improve RF performance in the "do care" part.

No, they didn't do anything to tune a different frequency. AT&T also uses AWS1700 for LTE - all they did was change modulation mode for an already supported band.
[Hardware Hacking General] kocoman:
EVDO logins does not need to verify the ESN/MEID.

See http://shadowmite.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=3319

not sure about LTE
[Hardware Hacking General] nakamoniel:
I see thread being carried away in different direction, I understand how it used to be completely ESN based, but trust me on new LTE phones it doesnt matter, i have popped sim card into many lte devices without registering with verizon what so ever, Also both at&t and verizon phones have hardware radio built in that supports 700MHZ so that is out of question as well, Hence I would like to draw attention of everyone specially DEV's, to target the real question, is it software based solution where they have tuned radio only to support perticular upper or lower band making them carrier specific? and if so flashing verizon radio on at&t phone or at&t radio on verizon phone make it compatible with each other? IF ANYONE OUT THERE WITH RESOURCES AND knowledge of radios can try this theory, it would open infinite gates of new possibilities ( AND GIVE US ALL AN OPPORTUNITY TO SCALE UP OUR LOVE-HATE RELATIONSHIP WITH ATT-VERIZON BASTARD :cool:).

p.s. I appreciate sharing your concerns/understanding anyways, not trying to underscore your comments, just trying to get things moving in right direction.
[Hardware Hacking General] nakamoniel:
Thanks, its kind of answer I was looking for to verify my doubt on whether it would be possible by software tweak to enable phones work on other networks, however my speculation is that there is a huge probability that some MODELS did not bother making this changes (e.g. motorola since they do not produce phones for at&t anyways or quite oppositely HTC which makes LTE phone for both att & verizon) and simply had software tweaks in place to avoid phones on other networks, IF SO it should be as simple of radio files swap as what other guy did to samsung tab. Please correct me if i am still wrong.
[Hardware Hacking General] Entropy512:
Samsung tab? Are you talking about the AT&T Galaxy Note? In that case, that was changing modulation modes in the same band. (AT&T also uses the 1700 MHz AWS band for LTE. So it's easy to just change that over to HSPA+ for T-Mo compatibility.)

I would not be surprised if Moto has narrower frontent filters, that may be part of the secret to their supposedly superior radio performance. (Rejecting unnecessary bands can greatly improve reception of the bands you care about.)

He says,

"There are some subtleties to our design that I think make an improvement over the ICS design. For example, when you press that recent apps button, the current app zooms out and then moves over to the right so that the one that’s in the center was the previous app. And then probably 80 percent of the cases, at least, you’re switching to the most recent app, the previous app, and in that case ***you just press right in the center and there you are. So it actually optimizes for that most common case of going to the most recent application.***"

Good for you. CM9/AOKP are based off of Stock(and look very much like stock from what I've seen).

Mind you, this is from my experience with the HTC Rezound. Plus, simple tasks like changing a ringtone was awkward and didn't work well. They never stuck.
