I have ics 4.0.3 and sense 3.6. I copied your file to root directory on my phone and went into recovery and flashed the zip file. It did not work and gave some kind of error.

Also I have found out that now when i go into personalize option there are no widgets or apps but only bookmarks. How can I get all the widgets back?

Did anyone else have the similar problem.
[HTC Sensation XL] daliborkv:
Which version of rom are you using?
[HTC Sensation XL] Alex-V:
mmmhh..none of all versions here works for me on official ics version...i also included in a rom zip and not working...any help

i want to make a sense 4 styles sense 3.6

with kind regards...Alex
[HTC Sensation XL] daliborkv:
You can try to delete original clock widget and then push modified one to system/app folder. It worked for me...
[HTC Sensation XL] Alex-V:
lol...just say many thx to answer all my questions :)

with kind regards
[HTC Sensation XL] rlamba:
Original Stock ICS ROM 4.0.3. My phone is unlocked and rooted. No other rom was installed.
[HTC Sensation XL] lika85:
I try to put the clock in every mode but no work for me...

Any solution ????
[HTC Sensation XL] wetxxx:
I have stock rom 4.0.3 so i delete the widget file for me have 6 mb, and replace for apk for this theme..so i turn off/on the phone and the widget doesnt apear. I try to replace.old oeyginal apk from backup and doesnt work. Have you some issue for this problem. I chmod files like other for system/app folder.

Sent from my Sensation XL
[HTC Sensation XL] farazhassankhan:
I am on stock ICS firmware with 3.6 sense and it doesnt work for me. I pushed file in system/app, set permission but clock widget disappeared. I had to copy old file to get it working again. Tried flashing zip file via CWM Recovery but it said "Installation abort"

Disappointing man :banghead:
[HTC Sensation XL] farazhassankhan:
For all those who get "Installation abort" effor, you need to copy your ROM's "update-binary" file in this Zip file and then flash. it will get installed

META-INF==> come ==> google ==> android == > update-binary (copy this file in closckwidget.zip same location META-INF==> come ==> google ==> android == > update-binary. and then flash and it will work

However, installation, for me, went well but no change in Clockwidget. I am using deodexed 3Musketeer stock ROM.
[HTC One X] ORStoner:
Hello,

I read lots of articles about how the Tegra 3 only scores well in benchmarks because of its 4 cores, which are overkill in almost all real world scenarios. So I was interested to find out how the the Tegra 3 would do if you made it a Dual Core, like the S4.

I ran Antutu three times, running stock everything (except root), and the lowest I got was 7114.

I know it is not very reliable to use one benchmark, but in my opinion, neither is using quadrant which is made by Qualcomm.

I find it interesting to see that the Tegra 3 scores considerably more than the S4, even with the same number of cores.

What are your thoughts? What do you think caused this? What does it mean?

Unable to upload screenshot:

Ram - 1202

CPU Integer - 2004

CPU Float - 1550

2D - 295

3D - 1242

Database - 475

SD Read - 150

SD Write - 196
[HTC One X] maniacaus:
not too sure why it would still win hands down *shrugs*

How does the real world speed with 2 cores disabled though?

And does it seem to save any battery if you've had it going for a while.
[HTC One X] ORStoner:
I've had it set to two cores only for a few days. It makes NO difference to anything but benchmark scores (even antutu still shows 60 FPS in the graphics tests). Games like Dark Meadow THD run exactly the same as before.

I'm not too sure how it has affected the battery life as I installed a mod that lowers the auto brightness at the same time. All I can say is the combination of the two has dramatically increased the life of the battery :)
[HTC One X] Nubzori:
So the GPU is bottleneck :( (surprise)
[HTC One X] ORStoner:
Which GPU are you referring it?
[HTC One X] lostunsunghero:
maybe the benchmark tests are yet to be fully optimised for 4 cores?
[HTC One X] thegregulator:
My guess is the reason the Tegra 3 with 2 cores running scores lower than the Snapdragon S4 is because the Tegra 3 has 4 A9 cores, whereas the Snapdragon has 2 cores that are closer to the A15 architecture, which is a faster chip. A15 will be quicker than A9 if the same number of cores are being used in each chipset.
[HTC One X] ORStoner:
My One X scores around 11000 with four cores and, as you can see, 7114 with two cores. In just curious to know why with two cores it scores around 1000 more than the S4 version?
[HTC One X] ORStoner:
I think you misunderstood, the Tegra with two A9 scored greater than the Snapdragon. If you were correct, I would not be as surprised as I am and would not have started this thread.
[HTC One X] maniacaus:
Out of curiosity what are you using to lock the 2 cores?

Wouldn't mind trying it out myself :P
[HTC One X] ORStoner:
Open root explorer.

Go to sys/kernel/debug/tegra_hotplug

Open max_cpus in text editor, change 4 to 2 or 3 (Single core does not work).

Open it again to check it has saved properly and it will go back to 4 the next time you reboot the phone.
[HTC One X] david_hume:
You know Tegra 3 has 5 cores instead of 4 cores in the A9 architecture right? So you basically did the benchmark with 3 cores instead of 2.
[HTC One X] maniacaus:
5th core is just a low clock speed / power to run idle tasks?

Doubt it would do much to a benchmark test.
[HTC One X] ORStoner:
Correct me if I'm wrong but the companion core can only be used on its own while the main processor is shut off. Even if it could 'assist' the main processor, it's only around 300mhz and would make very little difference to the score of a benchmark.
[HTC One X] DANOFDANGER:
From what i know the 5th companion core is invisible to the system so 2 would be correct in the max_cpu edit.
[HTC One X] ORStoner:
I refer to my previous question which was why is the dual core tegra 3 doing BETTER than the dual core S4? Is it down to the GPU?
[HTC One X] hamdir:
well that's revealing indeed, what's more interesting is how the included governors work

on-demand quad max 1400mhz conservative in jumping to max

interactive three cores only 1400mhz max jumps more often

performance three cores only locks at 1200mhz and jumps to 1400mhz on stress

glowball frame rate suffer badly when running less the 4 cores

you can see at default ondemand tegra3 is always juggling on 4 cores but rarely peaking to max clocks
[HTC One X] Croak:
While it indeed sucks as a useful tool, you should be aware that Quadrant is not a Qualcomm program...perhaps you're confusing it with the antiquated NeoCore benchmark. Vellamo is Qualcomm as well.
[HTC One X] ORStoner:
Sorry Vellano is Qualcomm not Quadrant. My mistake.
[HTC One X] DANOFDANGER:
If you are referring to the s4 in the htc one s then id like to know where you got your information indicating that the tegra is still faster in dual core when in quad the s4 still out performs it. The s4 scores over 12000 compared to 11500 that the tegra does and well over 7000 that it does in dual core mode....

The older a9 however found in older phones such as the sensation is another story with that chip scoring in about 6500
[HTC One X] ORStoner:
I don't think. 12000 is right. I may be wrong but every comparison I have seen between the Tegra One X and the S4 One X has shown the One X getting an almost double antutu score, and a slightly lower quadrant score.

Here is one example:

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...comm-s4-vs-htc-one-x-nvidia-tegra-3-reloaded/
[HTC One X] DANOFDANGER:
Yes i just looked up the one s vs one x and it did get 6500 in antutu, ok now im interested why a9 dual beats a15 :s
[HTC One X] Croak:
What A15? There's none on the market yet.

Something's a little wonky with a 6.5k AnTuTu on the S4 version. Sensations and Skyrockets etc with the S3 clocked to 1.5Ghz often score better than that.
[HTC One X] DANOFDANGER:
I have the sensation and have used most and all mods and roms and never got above 6.5k except on trips aosp rom which i got 7k with.

I thought the one s and one xl were both a15 snapdragon no ?.
[HTC One X] thegregulator:
I misunderstood the results earlier. There must be some compatibility issues with Antutu and the S4 chip.

While benchmarks are fun and everything, let's not forget that the S4 is arguably just as quick as the Tegra 3 in real world usage. If the One X's with the dual core S4 and lte came with 32gb of built in storage I would likely have gone that route.
[HTC One X] thegregulator:
They're not A15 chips. They are more similar to A15 than A9.
[HTC One X] pewpewbangbang:
Yup krait is not a15 but it is basically like an in between of a9 and a15.

A15 should be faster than krait when it releases.

Benchmarks aren't the best indicator and should always be taken with a grain of salt.
[HTC One X] nativestranger:
That is because you did not do anything intensive on the cpu. Games are likely limited by gpu or vsync. Try navigating around maps and multitab browsing with flash. I am sure you will notice a huge difference.

Regarding battery life, everything i read points to 4 cores having better battery life due to spreading out the load. Please test again with both set to the same manual brightness. I am sure quad core mode will come out ahead. Nvidia did not put in 4 cores for nothing.
[HTC One X] tkolev:
...marketing perhaps? I doubt that at the moment we can properly stress test a quad core CPU - the only apps that are made to use it's potential are optimized for tegra 3 so it won't be a fair comparison with another chip. Regarding the battery life, I think that if you actually save some juice it will be at the expense of serious performance hit. Limiting the cores makes the remaining ones run faster and generating more heat under same load. Fully utilized dual core will spend less power than fully utilized quad core, but it will also perform notably worse because in this scenario you'll need the extra performance. Maybe when the CPU is awake and doing nothing you will save some battery but that's nothing compared to the drain the screen causes when the phone is awake. And while it sleeps the fifth core kicks in, so no difference there.
[HTC One X] Rekoil:
I quite like the results produced by this topic. Proves that the T3 isn't as weak as I initially thought from the benchmarks. Our screen seems to be what's bringing it down when comparing to certain devices with ****ty AMOLED screens (not gonna name any nameS3).
[HTC One X] nativestranger:
Antutu results are also heavily IO and gpu dependent. In pure single threaded benchmark that compares core to core, the snapdragon s4 still comes up ahead of Tegra3.
[HTC One X] ORStoner:
Oh well, it is better to have two really good options for those you like choice.I would still choose to have tegrazone...
[HTC One X] slvrarrow:
Would be interesting if someone ran the Single Threaded benchmark with 2 cores locked - as this gives 1.5ghz rather than 1.2ghz
[HTC One X] joshnichols189:
The phone only uses two cores most of the time anyways..
[HTC One X] slvrarrow:
I know, but the benchmarks undertaken will be quad core at 1.2ghz since thats how it operates at full power by default,

If 2 cores are manually disabled the clock is upped to 1.5ghz, which may explain page 1's close results for dual core performance compared to the S4.

The 1.5ghz S4 is in effect competing with a 1.2ghz Tegra 3 for all the above single threaded tests I believe.
[XPERIA X10 General] Stri:
I just want to gauge the performance I'm experiencing off against other.

I recently put the Daedle Build with the 2.6 kernal

For me, there are some intermittent freezes. Sometimes when in the app list but often from the front screen. I've almost the same apps as I did when I was on another ICS

Is anyone using this setup and if so, how are you finding it?

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sot0:
I really think about it a lot, but i cant find an answer.

Is it possible to Port an Android 2.2 ROM to a Device that was delivered with Android 2.3 Gingerbread?

Please don´t ask why anybody would do that, because i have no idea :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SifJar:
Possible? Sure. But if you cannot see a reason for doing so, why even suggest it? And seeing as actually porting a ROM is a LOT more effort than posting on a forum, no one will do such a thing, as it is completely pointless. If the device can run 2.3, run 2.3.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sot0:
Maybe some Retro Fan would like it :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cakedev:
If the device was shipped with 2.3, it probably has sufficient resources to run it. On older phones I can see why you'd install an older version.

But sure, everything is possible (ICS on dream). ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sot0:
I think Froyo on e.g Galaxy s Plus would be awesome.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dextroz:
Hi guys,

Does anyone know if the Samsung Galaxy S3 larger battery, 2100 mAh fit the GSM Galaxy Nexus?

This would make it a better option than the stock extended battery at 2000mAh :-)

My initial suspicion is that the S3 is based off of the Verizon Galaxy Nexus chassis which means it might not fit.

This comes to my next point: IMHO, all these early reviewers are dumb ****s missing key insights like this and instead focusing on their dime-a-dozen cookie-cutter reviews.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imnuts:
The VZW extended battery is 2100mAh :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dextroz:
Thanks for your response but I forgot to add that I was referring to compatibility with the GSM version of the Galaxy nexus. I know that the Verizon version is 2100 mAh :)

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Currently, the only ways to dev-unlock (what you're asking about) every phone is to get an AppHub account (Marketplace Developer account) from Microsoft ($99/year from http://create.msdn.com, free with student email address from http://dreamspark.com). For some phones (gen1 or gen1.5 HTC, gen1 Samsung, Nokia Lumia 710 and some Lumia 800) you can install a custom ROM, and the info for doing that is usually available in the device-specific forum on this site. For LG phones, there's a built-in registry editor that can be used for dev-unlock. If you have a Samsung phone, you may be able to use WindowBreak, which is an easy and free way to unlock.

There's a list of available unlocks, categorized by type of phone and level of unlock, listing the various limitations of each, and with links to more information and instructions for each. This list is on the dev&hacking sub-forum.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] francois36boris:
I just installed clockworkmod recovery on my galaxy SII and when i tried to enter it, it entered downloading mode and says "DOn't turn off target". How to take it out of the downloading mode? Can i take off its battery anyway?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wezi:
Just hold down the power button until it shuts down / restarts. To enter recovery you hold menu, vol up and power button, not vol down as that enters download mode.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonas h:
hold vol down + homekey + power
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] francois36boris:
Oh thank you sir, I was scared ****less just now. I thought i had bricked it ( I know, i'm a noob haha). Just one more question: What is the best stock ICS rom avaible right now?

He meant "home", but otherwise correct.

This is Download mode. Recovery is Vol UP + home + power.

Hi,

I was wondering if there is an option of enabling/disabling syncing of accounts (the ones that are in the "accounts & sync".

When i am at work, i don't need my emails to sync (work, and 2 personal emails) because i have access to a computer. i dont want to turn off the autosync because then my whatsapp wont sync, only if i open the app.

is there an elegant solution to this or do i have to go into each account and sync it individually?

i am doing this in order to save and balance this f*cked up battery life!

i tried using the smart sync, setting up the sync hours according to my work hours, but it still drains juice.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] craig0r:
In the Email app (at least for Exchange accounts, I can't speak to POP/IMAP), if you go into the account's sync settings, you can set "prime hours," and adjust the type of syncing during prime and non-prime hours. I've got mine set to Push syncing between 8am and 8pm, then Smart Sync after that. Could set your Prime hours to, say, 9-5 and have it sync once per hour or something like that, then Push syncing in off-hours.

I'm on a conference call on my phone right now, so I can't direct you to the specific locations of these settings, but they're pretty easy to find.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] foxbat121:
On account list, you can tap on individual account's sync icon to enable or disable sync on that account.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kravguy:
Synker from the app along with tasker. Been using that combination since I got my inspire. Synker let's you sync specific accounts and tasker let's you setup to run these whenever. There might be a less expensive alternative to tasker that'll work.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] adlx.xda:
Thanks for the tip, exactly what I was looking for: a plugin for Tasker that would allow more granularity to toggle sync settings per account. Although to use that functionality the Paid version is needed.

META WIDGET

Meta is a unique app that can turn virtually any online content into dynamic, interactive widgets.

Simply browse to a website, pick a column of text, link or image and enjoy this information right on your home screen!

Why is this cool you ask? Because almost anything can be parsed out of a website - images, blogrolls, RSS feeds or entire windows.

Any widget created through Meta can be customized and automatically updated, or updated on user interaction.

Features

★ Create widgets from almost any website element

★ Parse graphs and images

★ Extract statistics and information from authorized sites

★ Configure widgets (background, alignment, etc.)

★ Automatic updates

★ User defined click actions

★ Lots of other cool stuff

Status

The app is currently quite stable, but we still prefer to call it a beta. So please, do write to us with suggestions or bug reports!

Play Store

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.metawidget

The free app has everything but automatic updates. Please buy the Key - that would help us a lot :)

[Android Apps and Games] AlkaDragos:
This is awesome. Tried to make some widgets, but i don't have so much ideas. Anyway the keyboard sometimes don't work, i must exit and start again, and sometimes back button doesn't go to previous page but exit the widget config. A possible overall preview would be nice(maybe full screen preview) since i make some changes and don't know how the widget will look. Another thing that i noticed is that when i select an element, in selection section it shows on center and nice aligned on every row, but when i put it on homescreen it's just one row after another. Here it's an e.g:

Selection:

---------

###

---------

**

Homescreen:

-------###------**

Also would be possible to take whole div, not only an element from that? I tried to take a div that contains some text and an image, but only the text was selected. This is a nice piece of work, keep up the good work. :)
