[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beston94:
You have proved that I am not insane xD I too have been seeing these lit up bloatches on the screen whilst on a black wallpaper.....

I've had my S2 for over 6 months. I've been using it everyday since then and maybe 6 hours screen time in total(daily). The screen issues are not bad at all..Tbh its only there if you really try to find it. And no I have no been experiencing any other issues.

Have a good day and good luck with your S2
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Dark Fable:
Great project man. o:

Btw how's the work coming along on those flashable modules ? Cause module loader loads the module randomly in the middle of a game and it gets stuck. :/
[Xperia Arc Android Development] abrarabbu:
WOW.

please work on these..

i am on locked bootloader and dying to overclock.

do it. go go vulian

---------- Post added at 10:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 AM ----------

i want my arc to have cpu values that of an arc s.

oc to 1.4g with same cpu states as that of arc s.

my device is ready for testing. waiting for guide.

---------- Post added at 10:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:36 AM ----------

+1000

please do it.

---------- Post added at 10:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 AM ----------

i read the article. most of it went above my head. i understood few things though.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tRippinthehead:
Nice try mate! :)

But why 1200 and not 1400Mhz like by default in Arc S?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] viulian:
thanks for the support guys :)

I did not try to go to 1.4 Ghz since I believe I need to up a bit the voltage and I did not yet identified kernel memory spaces where this has to happen.

I'm still looking to see if time_in_state can be adjusted - the table seems dynamically allocated and it makes its detection a bit more tedious since it doesn't have a fixed address in memory upon each reboot.

I'm wondering if it is needed to know what time in state is, seems more useful for battery saving but since the goal is to overclock ..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] viulian:
Good news - time in state table is fixed.

Noticed a few glitches with the time_in_state programs (mostly SetCPU).

Since the phone starts with 1024MHz but then is changed by the module to 1200MHz, some programs have small bugs because they remember the initial frequency. For example, after module is inserted, SetCPU somehow considers the minimum frequency to be 245MHz but a touch of the slider makes it go back to 122MHz.

This is now the only small inconvenience ..

Also, the smartassV2 module I've built has the max frequency set to 1024MHz, but I will recompile and offer them as a bundle to have 1200MHz hard coded. It is actually faster to have the speeds hardcoded instead of detected on the fly, since it makes the transitions quicker ..

Below few screenshots:

a) SetCPU showing correct Max frequency.

b) CPU Spy showing time in state ... it uses also deep sleep.

c) SetCPU bogomips:

One last thing...

I cannot add all Arc's S frequencies. It is easier to 'patch' the kmem and have the phone go to 1200MHz instead of 1024MHz instead of adding new values - because time_in_state table is allocated dynamically when phone boots to have 6 states. There's no space allocated for additional frequencies. If I add another value at the end (and patch the indexes) - some other variable put there by the kernel could be overwritten.

I could allocate the table in the module and update the global pointer to the new space - but it means more code :) which now doesn't seem necessary.

I will do some tests with 1400 instead of 1200 ..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] abrarabbu:
keep going...

waiting for your release.

finally oc. :)

---------- Post added at 10:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 AM ----------

not a worry for not implementing all Arc s frequencies.

in first hand, get this working..

thanks for hard work
[Xperia Arc Android Development] viulian:
VICTORY!!!

First, for happy side, here are the benchmarks:

a) AnTuTu 3373 vs 3069 (about 10% increase according to it).

b) Linpack 38.05 vs 33.5

Second, for drama side:

SetCPU native results from the initial posts above ended up to be fake. Don't know what SetCPU was doing but were incorrect. I'll explain.

Wanting to put some screenshots of OC improvements, I tried out Antutu and linkpack. To my surprise / shock, they were both offering the same values for the two speeds, 1200MHz and 1024MHz. I could not believe, how come the speed was now 1200 but results the same ???? Also, SetCPU did report an massive improvement, right ? From 800 down to 600 ...

Unconvinced, I found a PI Calculator, and tried it out with 10000 digits, it also reported same results 10.3 seconds .....

So ... going back to the source code I found out that frequency was actually controlled by the PLL rates and I was not modifying those, the CPU was actually phisically running at 1024Mhz. I lost trust in SetCPU with it's native tests (which now return about 500 when I finally fixed the code).

I thus dug more and found the correct PLL rates - and changed them to the real 1200MHz. Indeed the phone switched to the correct frequency and all performance tests above show the increase.

Tests were done with Performance governor on (max speed).

PS: PI Calculator now reports 9.3 seconds for 10.000 digits, and improvement of 10%.

:)

I will release the module very soon now.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] abrarabbu:
Hurray!

waiting for module and guide on how to implement it...

---------- Post added at 02:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:19 PM ----------

btw, this time I understood some of drama part.

improvement. :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] viulian:
It will be very simple - just:

insmod overclock.ko

To run it at boot time, it can be done from GUI using apps as Module Loader or Script Manager (SManager).

:)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tRippinthehead:
or use install-recovery.sh which works like init.d folder :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ascariz:
speak ENGLISH. lol. i can't understand, but, where is the overclock.ko? hehehe ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] viulian:
The overclock.ko will come in two flavours :)

One for 1200000Hz another one for 1401600Hz.

I have posted an article on my blog on the procedure followed to create the module: http://hex.ro/wp/blog/overclocking-an-android-phone-running-with-an-msm-core/

I've tested the 1.4Ghz frequency with 1200mV voltage and it resets in Antutu towards the end of the 3D test. However, I've upped the voltage to 1250mV and I've ran 3 Antutus with no problems! But boy it gets hot.

Here are some benchmark results from 1024000Hz up to 1401600Hz

a) 37% in CPU Integer operations

b) 41% in CPU Floating Point operations.

This generates almost 20% increase in total performance!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
its very much possible...

if u have the time to get it working, here is MSM7x30 specific module for this type of overclock:

https://github.com/coolbho3k/vision_oc

just saw this ;)

nice work with the how-to on the blog...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] viulian:
Thanks for the link.

I've checked it but is incomplete - it doesn't handle the time_in_state file ( cpufreq_stats_table kernel variable).

Mine goes on a similar route but :

a) handles the time_in_state

b) is unloadable (which the vision_hc doesn't do - it doesn't go back to stock if you want rmmod it). Mine switches back to stock.

:)

But a good effort on that one also!

Will put them up tonight.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tRippinthehead:
very nice, really looking forward the release to try it :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Dark Fable:
Is it possible on the ARC S too ? Maybe 1.6 Ghz ? :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] viulian:
@Dark Fable - About the Arc S - I could but I need remote access to a phone to be able to dump specific addresses into memory and adjust the constants from the code.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] simplyjustkids:
How do you use install-recovery.sh to boot modules?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] abrarabbu:
Thanks Vuilian.

i want to implement this.

what is to be done?

i find no modules in here.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kent1146:
Hi all. I had some newbie questions for current HTC Droid Incredible 2 owners. My newbie questions are:

1) Does the HTC Droid Incredible 2 have a locked bootloader? I'd like to know if getting a custom ROM onto the phone is as easy as rooting + running ClockworkMod, or if I'll need to dig into the dev forums to do some crazy kung-fu to get custom ROMS on.

2) Has Ice Cream Sandwich been officially released for the HTC Droid Incredible 2 yet?

3) Are the ICS-based ROMs (specifically MIUI and CyanogenMod 9) stable enough for full-time use on this phone?

I am a long-time Android user and a long-time custom ROM user. I currently own a Motorola Droid RAZR on Verizon Wireless, which pretty much only works in North America (and I cannot afford to wait for Motorola to unlock GSM global roaming, which will probably take a few months).

I am looking to buy a "backup" phone that supports global roaming, for use when I am travelling overseas for business. And I am considering the HTC Droid Incredible 2 as a global roaming phone, since they only cost about $150 - $180 used.

Thank you very much for your help with this.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
1. No its unlockable.

2. No. Still waiting.

3. Yes. I'm running one right now.

Please search around next time. All these answers can be found by just reading any of the threads here almost.

It should take no longer than 20 minutes to root and install a custom ROM on the Droid Incredible 2! It is by far the easiest phone to mod that i have ever owned.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jcpowell:
I have been unsuccessful for a month now in rooting this phone. I come from a LG ally which was incredibly easy to root and mod. Please if you say the dinc2 is so easy to mod help me. I am no noob but this phone has beaten me so far. My software is completely up to date which what I understand tacoroot is the only method that will work but I cannot accomplish this for whatever reason.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Brennon19968:
The newest update makes of major pain..... But my advise would be to search for anything to do with a rooting process called tacoroot. It was the only way I could find to root my replacement phone. Once you figure tacoroot out you are home free :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] snavaro:
Exactly what problems are you having with the tacoroot? I believe that if you have the latest OTA update, that this is the only method that will get you S-off.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Krishna.tungal:
you dont need to do KungFu, you can Root it easisy.

Chinese ICS has been released officially.

not 100% but they are good to use, you can try UKB, its nice... I used it..

Download pics from emai & Astro permissions

Hi,

Sorry for these newb questions, but I did try a search for the answers first.

1) In the HTC stock email application, I am trying to save a jpg picture that came as an email attachment. When I click download attachment on the email, and I then have a paperclip to tap on. When it opens, it gives me the choice of opening it Gallery, Astro Image Viewer, or the HP printer app I have. Problem is, if I try to use Astro, it says "Astro was not granted the necessary permission to view this image." If I choose Gallery, it will let me look at the picture, share it with other apps, or set it as a contact. However, it will not let me download it into my gallery.

How do I save a picture emailed to me as an attachment, on the phone/sd, for later use?

THANK YOU!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] FordNate:
Depends on what email you run in the program. Gmail is simple and easy just download their app and its all automatic. If you have multi email accounts and have to use the htc mail there should be an option under settings (using your menu key) to download attachments. Once downloaded going into contacts and set as profile image.

You'll need to copy it to system/app using root explorer. Set the permissions as per the standard settings.apk.

Oh and take a backup of the original file in there before hand...just in case.

Have you change the permissions? Try fixing permissions on CWM recovery. If it still doesn't work, then it means your firmware is not compatible

You can use the app easy tether (lite.) Works darn well. However rooting your phone doesn't automatically give you the hacked hotspot.
[HTC EVO 3D] tjb3401:
Use this tethering app http://db.tt/n7W44WJv, and in the settings set the device profile go EVO 3d, enable routing fix and mss clamping and it should work for you.

Also sometimes it just takes a while for windows to connect properly/get rid of the triangle, not sure why it takes so long.

I have to agree with you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fix-this!:
I remember when android first came out and i was on winmo i hated the look of it. Now i cannot imagine running anything else. As for the future, i see google buying open webos and incorp into android. Id love to see a android desktop os in the future as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] harveydent:
How can you buy open source?

But yeah, we'll probably see a lot of WebOS stuff trickle onto Android (just look at swipe to dismiss). Google just hired the core WebOS team
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rubiconjp:
.. and get sued by HP?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TAWoody:
It's always heading up up up. I've been an advocate since it first started and told everyone iphones would always be too dumbed down and windows and blackberry phones would go down
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fix-this!:
hp will put out webos in september and wash their hands of it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xxBrun0xx:
Realistically, the next version will most likely have some desktop mode when plugged into a dock. This is why they bought moto and makes a lot of sense for a few reasons:

1. Lets android compete on a different level than ios or windows phone, allowing it to be your computer and your phone.

2. The hardware is ready there to do this, so it makes sense for them to make the leap now.

3. Instead of competing with toy OS's like ios, wp7, and webos, they would be playing with the big boys (aka, windows). Once your operating system is capable of real productivity, you can sell to the business market, which is huge and has had no competition. since the birth of windows 95.

4. This would require a new peripheral, which would boost sales and further lock people into Google's services.

After paying billions for moto and sitting on them, I can't see any other logical path for them to take.

On a side note, noticed most current phones have a barometer. Any ideas on how this might be used in the future?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
It's a novel idea but I doubt they're up to this level yet. If anything I see it coming in later releases. Why do this when they can expand their whole hardware portfolio of selling chromebooks, tablets, etc.? I think that's more important than trying to turn their Android phones into desktop computers.

Take the large number of valuable patents and sell the failing Motorola hardware business that loses money every quarter.

I want Google to integrate Motorola's hardware business and make awesome "All Google" Nexus devices as much as any other Android fan, but I don't see them doing this, especially not in the short term. They'd be competing directly with the manufacturers they currently license Android to, which isn't a very good business model.

It's used to improve GPS accuracy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
The people they hired were mostly web apps people so they will probably work in the Chromebook division of Google
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
Where is Android going? Within a few years, the best ever. I'd say by 2016 its going to start becoming old. (Ala Symbian, BB) I hate to say it, but its inevitable. I love Android and hope to god it never goes there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mackster248:
It seems natural to do that. But I don't know of Google would ever let that happen. Same reason why Apple wouldn't let that happen with iOS. I just feel Google has big plans for Android and for it to just be much more than a mobile OS. And plus with every Google service being so tightly integrated into Android it would be too hard for it to fail at this point. Time will tell! But I'm excited like you. And optimistic.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fix-this!:
yeah of course there will come a time when a better mobile OS comes along. android won't stay on top forever.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MS.:
Sorry, wrong thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xxBrun0xx:
I used to think the same about google as a search engine, although they've proved me (and everyone) wrong by completely dominating the search engine market since the internet was very young. Google's motivated and has a lot of sway, and unlike most corporations, people really seem to LIKE google! I think if anyone can break the cycle of companies rising and falling, it's them :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mingkee:
Android will be around for the time being.

The history is repeating. This is similar how did IBM-compatible PC beat Apple computer by adapting open standard versus propitiatory. Since PC accepts open hardware standard, it has further advantage than Mac.

Android (and Windows Phone 7.x) also accepts open hardware specifications, and the result is we have much wider choice of hardware instead of ONE.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Panzerapple:
An open os will sell itself. I can not wait to triple boot my pc with android. I would love having the exact same experience from my phone to my pc. And if anyone has the money and time to do it, it is Google.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] barondebxl:
I think android is headed in the right direction and will go as far as the OEM, android OS and the developers can take it. ICS is a perfect example of android just getting better and better. It's definitely gonna be around for a while.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zeke1988:
if google can make it much more simple and lag free, it will be the best OS. i tried many roms and kernels, but lag still exist here and there. right now, i am sticking with miui with franco kernel, but still cant archive the smoothness like iOS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greeced:
This will never happen to Android... however it could happen to Apple, here's why:

Blackberry and Symbian didn't evolve. They basically stayed the same throughout their existance. They didn't branch out anywhere to give users a better experience with their system... They remained true to their core, and thats why they died or in Blackberry's case, dying.

Both systems were caught sleeping when the iPhone and Android came around. By then it was too late for them to change. People got used to the other systems.

Think of how Android has changed from the Nexus One and Cupcake or whatever system it was. Think of how it grew and continues to grow with applications. Google as a Corporation is coming out with new things like Drive and Majel, Google+ and all that other stuff... all stuff being made to use on your smartphone too.

Its not just the operating system, but the hardware... its not just the hardware, but what you can do with it......

So You have Android and its various versions that have gotten better and better with each revision, then you Have the hardware and the ideas that manufacturers bring to the table (Amoled screens, FoneTabs, etc), then you have thousands of developers that make everything Gel together... good or bad, but eventually all kinks are ironed out.

The fact that Android is more open than any other OS works for their longevity too...

As for iPhone, I think it will be around for a while, because fan-boys are hard to crack, but once they broaden their minds they are going to realize there is a lot more choice with the little green guy.
