Hi,

I was fighting the same battle just a other day and got over it with the manual flashing guide by Civato & Co. Found at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1622425 (almost at the end of the forst post)

I also used blackthund3r's A500 manager to get to the APX mode and then finalized with the manual way.. So a combo worked for me.. :D
[Acer Iconia A500] gears177:
Thanks ill try but hopes are not very high..EDIT Tried it but now it hangs on formatting partition 4 please wait......waited about 20 minutes
[Acer Iconia A500] jnktechstuff:
get this tool and it has a get out of apx mode, if that doesnt work just flash a new ics bootloader

download:https://hotfile.com/dl/158437685/178e3f6/Afterota_v1_07.zip.html
[Acer Iconia A500] gears177:
I think I'm just ready to flash back to 3.0.1 unstable and get the ota....i don't have ics boot loader that's what I'm trying to get ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] chismay:
lol then dude go to the development section and click the DUAL-BOOTLOADER thread and get the v4+ ics patched bootloader,

follow civvy's guide in the above post to flash your shiny new unlocked ics bootloader :D

the new apx flash tool the above user described to you sound like your right path,,, read up on the method and versions before trying anything and always nandroid and keep your cpuid saved and backup digitally and physically (sticky note :D )

did this 3days ago with civvy's guide and all is great in land of android.
[Acer Iconia A500] gears177:
Ill try one more time
[Acer Iconia A500] chismay:
I put on the my previous post to try boot loader v4 but I would probably go to the v8 :D
[Acer Iconia A500] gears177:
Alright will do im going to rollback and try again later thanks :D
[Acer Iconia A500] Rm_awesome:
same issue

Hi,

i have an a500 and it is in apx mode. I am completely new to finding cpuid and babsector euu.

I have many thanks but i have an important event soon so can someone guid me through this.

Thank you
[Acer Iconia A500] ryukiri:
First of all, install all the acer drivers on the PC.

Then get afterota

and export / save (whatever it says) your cpuid and system info and stuff....there should be a button that lets you save that

next, download a rom of your choice and place it on the EXTERNAL SD card...don't put it in internal storage

then use babsector and follow instructions below :)

Heres the link to babsector.rar

If anyone else is stuck on partitioning error or something using nvflash or blackthund3r, use this method :)

Hope that helps! :)

usb debugging

When i tried afterota and got to the second line it said usb debugging but i cant turn on usb debugging in my situation

i dont know what to do!!:crying:
[Acer Iconia A500] ryukiri:
why cant you turn on usb debugging? does your tablet have a section called developer options? did u enable it?
[Acer Iconia A500] Rm_awesome:

the thing is my tablet has black sceen white light so I cant really navigate to usb debugging
[Acer Iconia A500] ryukiri:
what happens if you hold the power button for like 15 seconds or so? does it shut down? (i dont have an a500 and ive nvr been stuck in apx mode..)

Hello Guys I am looking for stock rom of galaxy y for pakistan........ and i really need it... and how to install that romm... pls help me
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] kylegrant:
hey everybody i just tried out evervolv and didnt like it but i did really like that evervolv had a hack to use six signal bars instead of 4... it looks a lot nicer to me and wondering if its possible or anybody has done it to put six signal bars instead of 4 on cm7.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] R3SiEViL:
I could be wrong but i believe it's just a few image files you can swap out and have it showing 6 instead of 4

On my mytouch 4g (t mobile) I've swapped out the image files to have it saying 4g on cm7 instead of h+ or whatever it originally was/is
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] kylegrant:
I'm pretty sure its six different ones cuz I've seen every different one lit up.. it just takes six different dbm values instead of four to display it. I have no idea how to make it happen though
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] R3SiEViL:
Well if you want them all light up and such, i can't help with that. No clue how to do it. But if you don't mind say having the 6 full bars light up for 4 full bars and 5 for 3 and so on then you can just swap the images.

Kind sucks but only way i know you could do it haha
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] kylegrant:
I realize I should contact the creators of evervolv for this but I'm too lazy it's not that bigva deal
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tim440:
My girlfriend's Arc is sending up to 50 mb of data every day and also receiving somewhere near that amount. I've had several data monitoring apps on it and they all give pretty much the same amount, and those that show what's been using the data all say it's the OS itself, so I can't manage the data it sends by any other means than switching data off entirely.

This has been happening for about a month and seems to be getting worse. She was running Gingerbread and I did two fresh installs, but they didn't change anything. I've now put Generic Global ICS on it and it's still the same.

Does anyone have any ideas? Another side effect seems to be that it's killing the battery. Could it even be a hardware problem?

[HTC One X] Meltus:
This doesn't represent real-world use. This is an extreme example of how long you can make the battery last by severely throttling the CPU!

I posted another thread about the method used to apply this mod (you can find it here) but I made this thread to concentrate purely on the side effect of it, which is insanely good battery life. Firstly, I'd just like to make this point clear: I would not recommend doing this mod. It makes your device get pretty screwy and renders it fairly unusable. It needs further development before it can be useful.

Yes, this mod gives you absolutely incredible battery life but it only does so by severely limiting the CPU speed and limiting the CPU to a single core (It might even just run off the companion core and nothing else. I've had conflicting results) which makes the phone insanely laggy. I believe, however, that this throttling could be made less aggressive and then toggled on and off at will. From my tests it seems this also throttles the Companion Core, so you could even use this mod as-is to get better screen-off battery life (which is already pretty amazing). This isn't definite though and needs more tests :)

Anyway, less chit-chat, here are my results:

That's right, 12 hours and 35 minutes screen-on time! :D

It would probably last about 4 or 5 days if the screen was off!

ROM: Android Revolution HD

Kernel: stock ARHD kernel

Screen on lowest brightness

No other modifications (apart from the throttling mod)
[HTC One X] SartoriXX:
"It makes your device get pretty screwy and renders it fairly unusable."

Ok then, i'll just charge when the battery gets low then and use it as a great phone :rolleyes:
[HTC One X] ben_pyett:
If I power off my device, then I find that they battery will last for several days, maybe more :rolleyes:

Swyped from my DesireS
[HTC One X] shadehh:
Might aswell do that!
[HTC One X] Meltus:
I'll repeat what I bolded in the first post:

From my tests it seems this also throttles the Companion Core, so you could even use this mod as-is to get better screen-off battery life

Is this really not something people are interested in :confused:

This could potentially double the battery life if we could modify how aggressive the throttling is. We can already toggle it on/off on the fly.
[HTC One X] Fille84:
I think it sounds awesome and happy to see people like you try to developing the power consumption!
[HTC One X] BushMuncher:
sure beats my battery life with only 30 minutes screen on time :D
[HTC One X] Johnny0906:
Comments like that are a complete waste, if they are on to something you should be more encouraging.
[HTC One X] Meltus:
Done a bit more testing and it turns out that it does indeed throttle the LPCore, but not by much.

I've hit another odd contradiction though; I'm polling "sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_cur_freq" to get the current frequency but even when the screen is off that file still reports that it's active. Does this mean that at least one core is always active alongside the LPCore or does the CPU0 display the LPCore's frequency when the rest are disabled? If CPU0 does indeed show the LPCore frequency when the screen is off then doesn't that mean that Android CAN see the companion core? :confused:

In any case, the CPU0 file reports frequencies between 51Mhz and 475Mhz (51mhz being the frequency it hits about 80% of the time) and with the throttling enabled it seems to be locked to between 51Mhz and 102Mhz (with it hitting 51Mhz about the same percentage).

So it does seem to limit the LPCore (or whatever core is running) but it also seems that it's pretty much as optimised as it's going to get. Throttling does seem like it would increase screen-off time, but by how much I have no idea.

I'll test it overnight and see what kind of battery life I get :)
[HTC One X] lamenramen:
I wholeheartedly endorse your explorations. Find a way to salvage this phone; battery life currently makes the international version borderline unusable.
[HTC One X] xchasa:
Huh? Borderline unusable? If you're serious then exchange your faulty phone. I'm getting 16 odd hours with 4-5 hrs screen time.

I agree about the explorations through mate.
[HTC One X] treebill:
Android sees all cores as equal meaning it would assumes the lpcore is a ~1.5 core, so to get around this nvidia have made it transparent to android and the kerenel / low level drivers switch between the main and the lpcore but both show to android as the same CPU or as you've found shown as core 0. If it didn't do this when the main cores went off it wouldn't see a CPU at all.

Edit: as I can't post on your other topic from the app

I believe that file links to the throttle_table in the same folder, just did some tests

2 - limited too 1 core (i assume lp maybe a main core) 102 MHz

3 - 2 cores and 340 MHz

Then phone crashed so I went back to sleep lol I will do some more testing later.

[HTC One X] punyategar:
Does throttling the compnion core means you're just using 1 core in a quad core device?

Maybe its wiser to not get a quad core alltheway.
[HTC One X] treebill:
The hox has 5 cores, 4 main cores and 1 super low power core.

What this does is turn off the main cores and run on the super low power core which is great for battery life but it only goes to 500 MHz and in respect to CPUs is slower at processing stuff then almost all CPUs price you pay for power saving.
[HTC One X] gc48067:
Applaud your investigations, so many Haters on this forum!

This phone has masses of potential for some awesome custom Roms (and even a decent official Rom if HTC ever sort themselves out!). Battery life pretty much whole day for me but improvements always welcome.
[HTC One X] shadehh:
He is probably talking screen-on time. 4-5 Hours screentime is great, unfortunately you do not fall under the average hours of screen-on time. The average time would be anywhere between 2 and a half to 3 and a half hours.

Which in my opinion is nothing special, admittedly, it does get me through a day but hey! I wouldn't mind having more screen-on time. If 4-5 hours screen on time was the average than you wouldn't see many if anyone complaining at all.

Good day!
[HTC One X] Meltus:
Ah, that makes more sense :D

So, were you able to get the 'throttle' file to stick to anything but '1'?

I noticed the throttle_table and tried to use a few of them but they all just defaulted to 1.

It's a shame the 'throttle_table' file isn't editable too, that would make modifying it so much easier!

My first test failed miserably I'm afraid, I forgot to turn off an alarm and it rang out for about 3 hours and then ran out of battery! I'll remember to turn off the alarm next time :rolleyes:
[HTC One X] Robster83:
Bloody good effort. Despite the idiotic comments from those who clearly haven't grasped the idea behind this, it's impressive homework.

Research like this can only help improve custom-ROM's, which is kinda the point of XDA Dev's, no?

I think some people should focus on the comments section of sites like Engadget, where their funny pictures will be much better suited.
[HTC One X] anoniemouse:
I think this is a good idea to be exploring ways of stretching the battery life, i also think the best way would be if it was possible for this mod to work by forcing the main cores off & using the lp core only for apps & processes that don't need the extra power.

That way we could keep the full flexibility & power of our phones when needed & stretch the battery life as much as possible
[HTC One X] treebill:
It seemed it stick for me unsure why when I tried a while back it always defaulted to 1 but it must be able to have other otherwise no use for a table.

I believe the debug setting we are messing with are wrote at boot so maybe there is a way to edit it and make changed stick, I'm also interested into why power_gate (what ever that is) is only turn on on cores 0 and 1 and not all 4 cores.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] TheArt.:
Hey all, after searching here and on google play without finding anything I dediced to ask you guys!

I can't find an app that activates my Flash LED which is next to the camera of my Ace, or, being more precise, I've used Tiny Flashlight and it works but it has TOO MANY USELESS permissions!

I installed many apps which have only flash permission or have no permission, but they just don't work, it says that flash is ON but actually it's OFF. :confused:

So any of you who sometimes uses Ace as a Torch could suggest me a good working app? The security aspect of Android is very understimated and it seems that no one cares about permissions. :mad:

(Sorry if I posted in wrong section, but this is an app and it must work for Ace so I guess it's the right place. Anyway moderator please move to the right section if necessary, thanks.)
