Hi there

Well the a100 has 256mb ram while u have 512 but MOST roms are compatible. Yeah here we haven't got much about the Acer liquid fam. You should head over to modaco and have a look there :)

2 phones, both run exactly the same apps, aside from the rooted one that runs cwm, titanium backup, setcpu, Dropbox.

1 phone - rooted, running stock ics, frozen apps, lean!

2 phone - stock ics.

Memory usage is less on the stock phone.

Ram manager

1 550mb

2 407mb

Applications running

1 451

2 380

What gives? I thought freezing was supposed to free up more memory...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] premiatul:
How in the he*l do you have 450 applications???

Mine is more like your #1 but with over 50 more apps added, and I still have only 192, total, running and non running...

And the memory stays around 350.

Notice the charging at the same time the battery is plummeting?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jack man:
I had this happen to me once. For me, I had been using the phone constantly for a while one day. I plugged the cord in to charge it and also kept working on it. I was using apps that pull the battery hard. I could feel the battery getting warm, and I noticed that even with it plugged in, the battery was still going down. I closed everything, unplugged it, let it cool down, then tried to charge it again and it was fine.

Not sure if this will help you; just what happened to me.

edit:

I was using A LOT of resources when this happened. Havent had it happen in a long time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DigitalElement:
I unplugged from charger, and plugged back in and now its charging like normal again. Weird. Now, if I could figure out how to get away from the Android OS battery drain... :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
Typical behavior while charging if being used. Depending on what you're doing, you can expect it to charge slower or actually discharge, as you witnessed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Harry_Y:
A couple common issues from other electronic devices.

You are drawing more current then the charger is providing.

The cable is not fully seated so there is either resistance in the

connector, lint in the way, surface corrosion in the connector, etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] quarlow:
I once plugged mine in, set it down and left it for a few minutes to find it really hot and battery draining while charging. I opened set CPU and it was stuck at 1200. Unplugging it didn't fix it. I had to reboot, but it was fine after that.

Other than that the only time I have seen the battery go down while charging was Netflix over 3G over MHL.

HTC Desire V is also available in Indonesia for Rp 2.999.000 (around $300). It's only major drawback is the single core CPU and minimalistic support from devs (maybe due to dual sim and asian market). Anyway, I liked my device.

Hi Folks

Just wondering if anyone has seriously considered or is using android on the desktop?

Hear me out here!

Since stopping using windows as my main desktop OS about 18 months ago, I've been enjoying all the fruits that open source has to offer. I think I must have trying nearly every flavour of Debian/Ubuntu distro's and currently using some Mint/Gnome 2 setup. partly due to Unity's immaturity as Multihead desktop and probably part of me can't let go of that "Start" menu analog.

Through all my "testing" however I've still not settled on the right desktop/development environment, I've tried them all, really, I feel like I given pretty much every Window Manager out there a go, I especially like the blank canvas of openbox although I've got real work to do as well, so configuration wise It's not something I want to know right now :)

Part of my issue is I've got a what I would consider a bit of an edge case when I comes to setup. My current setup is over 3 Monitors ( I was considering 6 but thought I might get whiplash from moving my head too much :laugh: )

Right now I live my live mostly in Terminal Windows and Bash Prompts and do most of my hacking In gedit with some plugins ( maybe not the most productive but it's kinda of working for me at the minute )

After giving the Android x86 project, It got me thinking whether It would be a viable option. I know android certainly has the capability to run over multiple monitors although whether I would have to do a bit of hacking on the Framebuffer internals ( add extra ones etc ) has yet to be investigated.

With regards Android Development it kinda of makes sense to Develop right there in it's native environment ( I'm talking Kernel/System Level here not apps) . Compiling the AOSP etc should still be the same process.

So Yeah, Android on the Desktop - Discuss :)

I'd be interested if anyone has been crazy/foolhardy/patient enough to go down this road and are just keeping quiet about it and If there's any gotcha's etc to think about before embarking on such a mission.
[Android General] DD-Ripper:
Android is better off on smartphones and Tablets and Windows in better off on Desktops and Laptops. :D

As Im an avid gamer, I wouldnot mind having Android on my Desktop. Android has limited no. of good games but Windows dont. :D :D

Thanks, That's the kinda of thing, I was not aware of this project/product ( although still vapourware til next month ) :) At least I'm not crazy for thinking it :D
[Android General] superatrain:
I spent a week or 2 only using an hp touchpad, to see if I could get away using it as a desktop replacement.

The biggest problem I found is that the apps aren't really designed for serious productivity. Google docs is great for viewing things, but is very irresponsive on large documents, and doesn't like fancy formatting. Browsing was a nightmare. I had 3 or 4 different browsers, because each had different plugins, flash support, user agents, etc. Many browsers were unstable, and flash always caused random crashes and other weird problems. Gmail is useless for attachements, and there is no reasonable text editor.

It's doable, but you may have to spend a while finding apps to replicate all the functionality you expect from your PC.
[Android General] nightfire37:
Your welcome. I am thinking on getting this for the fact to support the devs on the product.
[Android General] theInfected1:
As a desktop replacement I'm not so sure but Android can definitely work as a netbook replacements.

It also depends what you use ur desktop for. Anything more that web browsing and email, I'll still prefer having a full fledged OS on it.
[Android General] mistermentality:
An android desktop could do mail, web browsing, multimedia, usenet or torrent downloads, games, dlna streaming, ebook reading and text editing (writing, creating pdf, etcetera) well.

It would not be able to do some of the things a desktop can do such as transcode video, run open office, use pc accessories, etcetera.

This is primarily because android is a mobile oriented os though it's likely that other than the use of pc accessories developers will write apps to get android doing even more as it is now a very popular tablet os and tablets often get used as a pc does.

Android could be a desktop for general everyday use right now but not for everyone.

For now windows and linux still beat android for both software, peripheral support and overall os speed making those better options however its also easier to have a new user mess those up than it is to mess up android so for general use it could be a good option.

[Android General] fortemcee:
i have been using android since 2008. The only thing i can tell you is Android can replace netbooks but not laptops and desktop. I used macbook for a year or so but I went back to windows.

HP Touchpad replaced my netbook.70% of the time i use my hp touchpad to chat, browse and play videos.

But when it comes to work or college work I go back to my good ol' desktop or laptop because

google spreadsheet is nowhere near MS Excel

google docs is nowhere near MS Word
[Android General] trevd:
I coming to that conclusion...... More for on the move devices, Although there some good stuff going on with the 10ft Experience (Android on TV's) at the moment.

It is also interesting to hear how people interact with their devices,

I'm far from an average user..... If i'm not developing with/on android I don't what to do with it :laugh: I think that's why my tablet has a keyboard and mouse plugged into most of the time

Thanks for the Input.
[Android General] trevd:
Brilliant That's exactly the type of responses I hoped for, a man whose got he's knees dirty in these dam robots on the desktop :) ... little long ;) but I did read it.

[Short Version] In Summary I'm inclined to agree with you give it a couple of years, As a developer I could probably fix it up but I probably wouldn't be finished before google etc sorted it themselves[Short Version]

Here's a more verbose reply :laugh:

I have seen some 2.x tabs in my time, trailblazers but not nice.... I presume you gave the 1.6 x86 one a go as well then? Just for kicks. :)

I've been using a mouse and keyboard on my tablet, an Archos G9 through a usb hub which also has full size usb slot..... I've never really twicked onto the mouse lack of context menu/right click being an issue until you pointed it out, I can see how it would become an irritant after a while unless you're a MacUser than one button should be fine :)

The right mouse button acting the same as long press would be a vast improvement, I'll probably have a look at what development effort is involved in that ( or at least add it to the pile of interesting stuff I want to do with my time :) )

I've found the keyboard to be useful, Shortcut Keys are generally the same as there desktop counterparts. Take Ctrl+L to type a web address in your browser for example and If I dig around the android source code for a while I'm sure I could find some more unpublished ones or add my own and help on the number of click navigation issues etc :).

USB Support is not a problem with each iteration of Android it gets better internally and I'm currently working with the opinion that if a linux driver exists I can compile it and at least get android the recognize the device... I've been deep in the USB Internals with android for the last few months.

On the Androidx86.... I've not checked the project in a while, there maybe have greater focus on solving some on these usability issues.

With regard to phones and docking I do remember canonicals plans ( wasn't that earlier this year) or are you talking about the circa 2009/10?!? ubuntu proposed project to run apks directly on your pc? essentially running the dalvikvm/surfaceflinger framebuffer management, support services on ubuntu with an X Window for the app.

The latter I feel is highly possible especially with android fully "unforked" in the kernel - not looked at the full details but I presume that includes all androids system level binder stuff and their shared memory modules and the former, I think a manufacturer release something called "Android in a Window" (Motorola or LG, maybe) An interactive android window on the desktop... also motorola's Webtop looks interesting.

I've written enough, Thanks for the Input
[Android General] saqi4you:
no one found any way to run android on PC or Laptop ???????
[Android General] dragon_76:
It runs in virtualisation fine and there are a few PC's that can run it natively, I would bet Jelly bean will run on x86 without fuss.
[Android General] deathsled:
I've had android ICS x86 on my Acer W500 (a windows tablet) for a little while now. It was installed along side the Windows 8 Developer Preview which expired and shuts down after a few minutes of use now. Instead of updating it to the W8 Consumer Preview for more time I just started using ICS full time. With my tablet in the "dock" (which is just a keyboard really) and a mouse hooked up I used it for days as a PC replacement (the power supply in my normal desktop died).

Android would be totally fine as a desktop OS, but apps would have to start being designed with that in mind.

Think about it:

You can't have multiple windows open at once on the screen for serious multitasking. What if I want to have a terminal/command prompt open while I reference a document in the web browser? With android I'm going to be switching between fullscreen apps.

The OS will have to be redesigned to allow for that capability and then new apps will have to be written to able to take advantage of it. Is it possible? Absolutely! Is it ready to be your desktop replacement? Not yet!
[Android General] trevd:
I would say there is arguments for and against sizeable apps (I suppose that describes it), Personally I run multiple monitors and generally have Maximised Windows all the way, obviously every use case is different but I think android would become "just another window manager" and lose some of what android is If it had totally free window placement.

It is also assuming the current desktop metaphor which is in use today is the best/most productive way of interacting with the machine.... Maybe we're just blindly doing it because we've all be trained to think like that, and it's always been that way.

I don't claim to have the answers on any of these points though :)

I suppose the only thing I can do is stop talking and start doing, "try it yourself" as we say in the "trade" .....I've got a laptop I could give it a blast on, I can at least try a multiple monitor test with that with out too much disruption.
[Android General] trevd:
You might want to read the full thread guys ;) It's kinda what we're talking about, check the Androidx86 project out if you've never seen it before
[Android General] mistermentality:
Actually with apps like overskreen and the open source standout library which lets apps float, so you can have several open at once on screen together and swap between them, you could multitask with multiple open windows.

It's a new approach but already finding favour on tablets.

[Android General] alsa_f:
If I am doing some coding on my PC (running Ubuntu) I use i3-wm which is a tiling window manager. I find the best option is to have all applications full screen and switch between them quickly using keystrokes. The same thing can be done with a theoretical Android Desktop.

I think the case for an Android Desktop is a strong one. Just looking at mobile phone shops and sites, Android is the most popular firmware for smartphones on the market so the amount of people owning one is only going to increase. With that it means that online communities like this site will get bigger with more people offering support and development. An Android desktop might not have the same look and feel as the smartphone version but if it can emulate the same functionality i.e. the way to do something on a smartphone is the same as on the desktop then the leap from smartphone to desktop won't be so hard for people. As you will have the same underlying platform, the same will apply for developers so it means application development on the Desktop version should in theory be faster.

That's a way of doing it but my preference would be a convergence of devices where say I can plug my smartphone into a docking station which hooks it up with a monitor, keyboard and mouse or like the Assus Padfone where a smartphone can be pluged into a tablet dock which turns it into a tablet.

folks, newbie here.

i noticed that there are 2 types of file explorer, the system file explorer that allows you browse around the /system/ directories and the media file explorer such as andro file explorer

could anyone please advise me any file explorer that allows me to access both /sdcard/ and /system/ directories please?

i stumbled upon this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=716309 that recommends root explorer, but it doesnt allow me to open /sdcard/ directories

thanks in advance
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
I use ES File Explorer and Root Explorer. Both give you full access to your phones file system, including /system and /sdcard.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kleeman7:
They do, es file explorer is free, and allows you to to lan shares from pc. Just have to enable root options in settings. I have both, but I currently use es file since I can access my pc from it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nicodws:
thanks kleeman for the info,

I have a rooted HTC One X ATT version, running on non ATT network (brought it to asia)

it doesnt allow me to tether out of a box nor play downloaded glumobile games.

i've browsed xdaforum and found out there are several files in root directory that need to be replaced to fix this.

so i need to access /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db

(which root explorer allows me to access, but doesnt allow me to access the sdcard directory)

whereas ES only allows me to access /data/data/

did i do something wrong with the ES?

thanks again
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
I don't get why you think you can't access your /sdcard with Root Explorer, you can access EVERYTHING with it.

And with ES you have to go into the settings an enable the root explorer to be able to access everything.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nicodws:
MetalHead,

Thanks, it works! now i can access the directory path.

one last question, whenever i tried to edit /system/build.prop

it doesnt allow me to save it after editing, or replace the file with a new one.

i'm referring to this xda article which i cant reply since i'm a noob with less than 10 posts

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1714298

please help me if you dont mind.

and as for the root explorer, i have no idea why it doesnt work. one touch of back button makes it "unfortunately root explorer has terminated"

thanks again
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
You have to mount the file system as read/write otherwise you can't edit anything in /system. Navigate to /system then hit menu >settings, then scroll down all the way to the root settings section and check the circle next to Mount File System. You will be able to edit the build.prop after doing that.

As far as Root Explorer FC'ing on you, I dunno man I've never had it crash on me once in the 3 years I've been using it. Try deleting it and re-installing it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nicodws:
MetalHead, the ES trick works!

thanks a lot!
