[Galaxy S III General] mix1987:
I chanced upon an app that could enable android users the ability to true multitask. Android is designed to cleverly close apps in the background that it deems unimportant. This feat is brought to fruitation through the assigning of minfree values. The higher the minfree value, the more seceptible the app is in being axed to conserve ram and computing space which inturn conserve battery.

With this in mind, theoretically, if we assign an app with a minfree value of 0, the apps will not be killed even when kingdom come. Pardon my attempt at humour if you aren't chuckling.

Now to the crux of this post. There is an inherent difficulty to assign minfree values and not everyone is a coder. Luckily there is an app on the market which let users assign minfree values and better yet, filters the apps into hidden apps and stuff. Simply download this free application from the market:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5ycy5hdXRva2lsbGVyIl0.

Go to settings, enable advanced mode to get access to the first three values. One simply inputs "0,0,0,0,0,0". And voila, theoretically all hidden/background apps will not be killed and true multitasking is achieved.

A quick test of some programs that are designed to close after home button is pressed does not close now. Am happy to report that this trick does not close any background app. Only downside is user has to manually close the apps, which for me is more than ok. Hope this helps!!

[Update] I have changed all fields to 0. So technically what I am telling the GSIII is "do not have coffee breaks,toilet breaks and oh, "I own your sorry ass".

Am excited to report that N.O.V.A. 3 still continued running after opening maps with GPS, XDA, Maps, Internet browser. All of which are running.

[Update 2] Edited the values to "0,0,1,1,1,1" as a failsafe in case all rams have been used up. E.g. NOVA3 and MC3 concurrently running due to carelessness. Will report any drastic behaviour or successfully implementation without much drawbacks.

I'm interested to know how this affects battery life.
[Galaxy S III General] mix1987:
I am pretty sure this will suck the bejesus out of the battery. : ) Plus we aren't using the software for its intended use.
[Galaxy S III General] sebarkh:
I did the same :)

Interesting to try...
[Galaxy S III General] mix1987:
If in the event u have reached a satisfactory value do share! I was inspired by the "backgrounder" program of jailbroken IOS devices. It does the same thing except our way is different. From my Iphone days I have fetishes of true multi tasking. : )
[Galaxy S III General] d4fseeker:
The Linux/Android kernel WILL run OOM-Killer (Out-of-memory) with SIGKILL (removes the process from RAM and CPU without letting it any chance to save data or report) when the memory is full and it cannot continue operation otherwise.

Dalvik _should_ work around a full memory but by disabling this feature it won't so you might experience some data loss.

Consequently it is necessary to have a sufficiently large Swap-Partition on your SDcard to allow the kernel to get more memory whenever needed. It won't be fast when it hits the limit but at least it still works.
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
Well on top of that, the Minfree was programmed so that the CPU doesn't have to overwork and so it can run at lower frequencies.

Interesting app, but I'm going to leave the programming to the experts.
[Galaxy S III General] mix1987:
Plus prog is too much of a hassle for too little gains in this case. Hahaha.
[Galaxy S III General] caramelcarebr:
I have to say that I miss the way the Palm Pre multitasked the best. I also like how pre handled contacts with multiple numbers/IM/google etc (something that ios6 is finally going to attempt to do). It would incorporate all of them into one message window using icons. If only some of that could be incorporated into Android!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dirkdigles:
Hi All,

Back in the days of using GB, I remember that the stock messaging app had an option to show only contacts w/ mobile numbers, so that you wouldn't accidentally select a landline or office phone to text (it might have been default functionality, actually - if a number was labeled as 'home' it wouldn't show up, however all 'mobile' numbers would).

Anyway, in ICS, I noticed that *all* numbers for a given contact show up when composing a new message. This seems to defy common sense, as I cannot send a text message to my parents' house landline.

Is there any way to make sure non-mobile numbers aren't shown when composing a new message?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bhaseleu:
I am having the same problem on my rooted HTC Rezound with ICS. Not only does the text message compose function show all of the phone numbers for a contact, but it displays their mobile numbers as "Home" along with their real Home numbers, so it is impossible for me to know which number to select. Surely someone has figured this out already?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cstone1991:
I think you just have to make sure that mobile numbers are set as mobile numbers and home numbers are set as home numbers. To do this you will have to edit each of your contacts. It might be easiest to do it from a computer.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikefromTX:
My GTab is currently running TNT Lite 4.20, and I'm thinking about reverting to stock.

I see in some places where all I need to do is install the stock apk, and other places get into all this complication of nvflash.

So, do I need to just install the 3588 apk or do I have to learn nvflash?

Many thanks.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
Do you have CWM installed?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikefromTX:
Yes!

.

.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
OK, then. Gimme a day. I think I can have something easy for you. Want to upgrade to 5699 also?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikefromTX:
I figured I'd just get OTA updates after going back to stock and get current that way.

Is 5699 the latest update?

Thanks for the help.

.

.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikefromTX:
Just confirmed I actually flashed to TNT Lite 4.2.5., not 4.20 as previously stated. Sorry - I forgot about that.

And my tablet is running Android v. 2.2, Build FRF-91 if that matters.

My CWM version is 2.5.1.1-bekit-0.8.

.

.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
OK. If you want to do an OTA update, then the process is very simple, but, you'll have to get rid of CWM.

1. Since you are on a 1.1 bootloader, go here and download the 3588 update zip file--the last one for the 1.1 bootloader.

2. After you've downloaded the file, unpack it into an empty directory. Then, edit the META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script file and get rid of these lines:

[B]assert(package_extract_file("bootloader.bin", "/tmp/bootloader.bin"), write_bootloader_image("/tmp/bootloader.bin", "bootloader"), delete("/cache/bootloader.bin"));[/B]
...
[B]mount("ext3", "data", "/data");
package_extract_dir("data", "/data");
set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/data/data/com.rovio.angrybirds");
unmount("/data");[/B]

3. Zip the whole tree up again into another zip file so that it looks just like the old zip file--ie. it has to have the same directory structure (without any additional directories).

What you've done is remove the bootloader updating step (which won't work with CWM installed) and the AngryBirds installation step (which isn't being done right).

4. Boot into CWM and do a "wipe data/factory reset" (take a CWM backup first).

5. Transfer the new zip file onto the internal SD card, then flash it using CWM. This will install both the stock 1.1-3588 ROM and stock recovery for the upgrade to 1.2-5699.

6. If you're happy with 1.1-3588 then simply re-install CWM. Otherwise, do an OTA update when the system prompts you.

There should be 2 updates according to the VS website. The first one (1.1-3588+) installs a newer version of the stock recovery and also updates the /system/build.prop file. The one after that should update you to 1.2-5699, I think.

You can install a 1.2 version of CWM after the OTA upgrade completes.

Officially, yes.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikefromTX:
You say I'll have to get rid of CWM, but this requires me to use it up until step 6 ... does it get overwritten automatically at some stage of this, or do I uninstall it at some point?

Thanks again for the detailed instructions!

.

.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikefromTX:
Well, would you believe it - before doing the wipe back to stock a buddy says he might want to buy my tablet. And he likes the fact that I have the Market and certain other things loaded on it (even though the Market has changed to the Play Store and none of my Market apps wants to update!).

So I'm conflicted. The main reason for going back to stock is because some things are suddenly not working right on the tablet and the Market (a big reason for going to a custom rom) is not working right either.

I suppose if I could get the Play Store installed and working right I might even keep TNT Lite ... but I don't know what's going on with all this right now.

Maybe if someone can update me on the Play Store thing ... sorry, I've been out of the loop for awhile and lost track.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikefromTX:
Yep, I read that thread, but it left me with questions:

1. The link in the post just takes me to the xda main page, since it's a partially broken link

2. This still just installs Market - hasn't Market been replaced with the Play Store?

My Market app still works - it just doesn't show all the apps anymore, and it won't let me update any that I have. I figure the market is being phased out (?)

.

.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
You need to get rid of CWM only for an OTA update (one that also writes the bootloader and so needs stock recovery). We're not doing an OTA update until step #6.

CWM gets overwritten in step #5 in preparation for an OTA update to 1.2-5699 in step #6--if you wish to take it.

All this is there in the post, actually.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikefromTX:
Many thanks, raj - this isn't my long suit, so it takes a while to sink in.

Do they need to be flashed as I tried installing them as apks from es file manager but wasn't successful.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] hazard66:
I have had an issue for a long time with the infuse where sometimes, after installing a GB based rom (not picking on gosooners, but it seems to happen most with his roms, ive never been able to run one)

i will boot the freshly installed rom, configure some stuff, and then at some point i will setup a PIN lock, or add my Exchange/corporate account (which does have a device admin policy) and then reboot (i'm not sure which of the two issues triggers it)

after doing this, i am locked out of my phone. the PIN i set up WILL NOT work at the password prompt, and no other password, credentials, SIM lock, anything you could have ever entered as a password into the phone, works, period, you have to reflash to get back in. and then the same thing happens.

happens with some ROMs consistently and not others... never with an ICS based rom.

any ideas?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] slicingtaco:
Very strange, i have never heard of such problem.

Are you restoring any settings from the previous state with any app?

If it so keeps on happening try restoring all your settings (excluding the PIN Lock) and then the security lock of your choice at last after you rebooted and settled in. If not i suggest you try other ROM's. Don't know what else to say.:confused::(

GOOD LUCK:fingers-crossed:

I'm currently rooted (with htv dev method) and i'm considering rom'ing it up. I see there are 4 or 5 roms currently being dev'ed for. I hoped i could get some user info on some of the pros and cons of some of the roms you guys have tested. What you like and don't like, issues and things like that. In the past i've used CM, MIUI, Stock sense, and AOKP. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I'm running Viper with some mods, and couldn't be happier. It's sense and rock solid with great battery. I already have have over 4 hours of screen on time for today, and still have 54% of battery left. All of the roms are great in their own ways, so flex was right, read the threads, flash the ones that look good to you, and see what you like.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] P.Mobile:
yea thast rite.. everyone is diff.. a rom im diggin u mite not like so deff try a few out.. another thing is all phones run diff.. a rom that runs perfect on my phone mite not on yours.. just flash away u will find one u like :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Spyderekz:
Its all the same

only one rom really stands out right now and thats PKMN simply because of the tool it has to customize the look and feel of the ROM. it only has a few bugs, main one is having to manually edit a file to remap menu. the rest of the roms are practically the same. one might be updated faster than the other, but they all have the same "tweaks".

If you want to stay closer to stock, use the "Stock with Goodies" rom. otherwise pick any rom you want ELTE seems more up to date, Viper seems to have more additional mods to flash. Mainly the kernel tweaks

MMS version(post send, i redownloaded it)

Gallery version(post send)

So it was sent with the original color production, then it funkified in my gallery, just seconds later. I had Dropbox auto upload photos enabled, then decided to turn it off to see if it was causing the issue at hand. still havent tested it yet.

For the dock and icons:

For lock screen :

Instructions:

1. The transparent status bar

Can't be obtained on a odexed systemui.apk so I took a deodexed apk and then nodded it.So if you are on a odexed ROM then you'll have to first delete the systemui.odex file using root browser then flash the uot package.

2. To apply the dock and the icons you can use Launcher pro(tested) or ADW.

3. For the lock screen you can download the apk and place it in system/app and set the permissions to rw- r-- r-- . Please note this apk will run only on ODEXED ROM . This apk is not DEODEXED.

Well I can tell you it works with stock ROM or many of its derivatives.

Please see if you only want the dock just follow the step 2

In ES File Explorer, under Settings, you need to check both "Root Explorer" and "Mount File System" near the bottom of the options.
