Hi

I have problems with installin cygwin, so i was wondering if there is any other unix-like command interfaces that can be used with the ROM kitchen?

any help will be apreciated :D

Well you could try http://www.mingw.org/wiki/msys but you are on your own setup wise. What are your issues with Cygwin?

Just send email to the cygwin mailing list asking for help.

Problems like this are usually caused by 1) a bad PATH setting or 2) a previous installed version of Cygwin, possibly from a third-party package.

Hello,

I am currently dusting my old LG Phoenix off for my girlfriend as her blackberry just died. My LG phoenix is rooted using the gingerbreak.apk however, it is still using Froyo.

I would like to update this to 2.3 for her and was wondering if I can just plug my phone in and run the 2.3 gingerbread upgrade tool from LG. Is this possible? Would the phone retain the root?

Thanks,

:P

P.S. I tried looking around on the forums however, I am using a computer at work so I might have overlooked something.
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dosangst:
It should if you download and install OTA Rootkeeper from the store. Once installed backup root then upgrade and reinstall OTA and restore.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] blackpepper74:
I have the AT&T SGS2. I had installed a few custom software a few months ago, but then I installed a stock 2.3.4 for the AT&T phone. The custom binary count is 1 on the recovery screen.

To upgrade to the official ICS from AT&T, I installed the latest KIES. It successfully detects the firmware update for the device. KIES starts installing and everything goes fine until almost very end. At 91%, installation fails giving the error message something like "Unexpected error. Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies & try again". I tried several times and same thing happens again. I also tried downloading the stock ICS and install it via ODIN, but same thing happened. It failed at the very end.

What could be happening here? Any advice? Can it be anything to do with the custom binary count? Thanks in advance...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Not sure what might be intefering with kies or Odin. Where did you get the tar that you flashed that failed?

You might try again, with the UCLE5 Stock ICS plus Root tar from the Development forum.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Pilgrimtozion:
I've had my phone for quite a while now and played around with it a lot. Originally, I power cycled the battery, thinking it was the best thing to do. To my dismay, my battery barely lasted me through the day. No matter what I did, I could not get it to match what some other people indicated they get out of their battery - 35-40 hrs or more. I rooted, dimmed the display, installed JuiceDefender, uninstalled Juice Defender, unrooted, power cycled 3 or 4 times again...

...and then one day I woke up, probably three month into me having the phone, and the phone was amazing. I came home from work at 5 pm with 72% still on the battery. I was in heaven. Until a month ago.

A month ago, I accidentally let the battery run out completely. I had done that before (though I try not to) so I thought it wasn't a big deal. I hadn't installed any new apps or done anything differently, but now my battery will hardly last me through the day again. My once amazing battery is less then average again.

I've tried everything you normally read on forums. I have a good idea of how to save battery life - it's set to Maximum Battery Savings - and have tried all of the stuff that is typically recommended. I've not killed apps, but I don't think that would really help to begin with anyway.

So...here I am to ask if anybody has any other ideas for me. Anything at all? The thing is...I didn't change anything when my battery was cut down to less than normal size!!

Help?!?
[Motorola Atrix 2] mtnlion:
Rogue app update. Try bad ass battery monitor should give you an idea which one

[Motorola Atrix 2] Pilgrimtozion:
Thanks, I will try that. I tried Battery Monitor, which told me AT&T Address Book was a main culprit. Doubt that since I could never do too much about that one...
[Motorola Atrix 2] mtnlion:
This is what you'll see under the apps tab. Much more useful than others I've tried.

Motorola lied and I'm still locked mb865
[Motorola Atrix 2] Pilgrimtozion:
So right off the bat, here is what it says:

Phone 29.3%

Screen 2.1%

Phone Radio 45%

Wifi Active 10.1%

Held Awake 2.6%

Bluetooth 0.0%

App Usage 11.1%

For Phone Radio, the Signal Strength from 1-5 has 2 listed as 72%

For App usage there's not much beside the kernel to report.

How does that help me? My reception at work is always iffy - but it's always been that way so that cannot be the culprit.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
Draining your battery until the device powers down isn't something to worry about. The battery can be "seasoned" when you first pull it out of the box by allowing it to drain until power down, then while still powered off, plug in your charger without powering the phone back up, and allowing it to charge fully, then power on/drain to power down/charge while powered off/power back on repeatedly three to four times. This is a common practice for some people (perhaps as neurotic about such things as myself) to make sure your battery is getting full charging cycles.

Partial charging cycles won't hurt anything either. For instance, you can charge fully, then at some point during the day, plug your charger in and charge it from say, 70& to 100% without any issues. The device has built-in programming that will not allow for overcharging, which some users seem to have concern about. That being so, you can plug in your phone, leave it charging (even while at 100%) for as long as you see fit without having any "overcharging" to the battery occurring.

Sounds like you do have a rogue app that is consuming battery, so that would be the first thing to investigate -as mtlion stated. There are some other steps that you can do, to ensure your battery is a full charge, as there are some instances where after flashing roms you can lose some of your battery reporting accuracy or even some battery life. But, see if you can track down which (if any) apps are consuming your battery, and that is an easy fix. Also, if you have questionable radio signal reception, that counld be a contributing factor as well. The phone will constantly look for a signal, and if it loses signal, start the scanning process until it can connect again. Though you may not have noticed this at first, this could also be the reason your battery consumption is so high.
[Motorola Atrix 2] iarejohnsmith:
If you experienced such a dramatic change in battery percentages after a full cycle, then could it be possible that the percentages were disoriented and you were mistaken into thinking you had a very high amount of charge left when you really didn't? It seems unlikely, but given the situation you described this fits.

Maybe you had the same battery performance all along, and the 70% showed when you were actually about to run out, but you never found out because you always charged before the bug revealed itself, and the bug was finally reset after your phone was drained.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Pilgrimtozion:
I wish I could say that it was mistaken all along but I actually went two days without charging regularly. I'm trying to eliminate possibilities and so far have had a little bit of success. The rogue app does sound plausible.

So power cycling now really won't make a difference?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Pilgrimtozion:
Does it make any difference whether I'm currently rooted or not? Cause I'm not...
[Motorola Atrix 2] hankbizzo5:
Had the same issue and the only thing that really worked for me was to wipe the battery cache..... There are apps on the market but did not do the job well like this method.....

Fully charge phone

reboot with bootstrapper (recovery)

go to advanced menu

and then click wipe battery stats

Hope it works for you!!!!!
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
The Battery Calibration app requires root permissions. You can always root using the "one-click-root" method, run the above steps, and then "click-to-unroot" using the .bat files within the root folder. It's easy, and takes no time at all to do so. But, it is all in how much fuss you want to put into solving your problem...
[Motorola Atrix 2] Pilgrimtozion:
Once again it sounds like I need to root my device. Correct assumption?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
For the CWM Recovery wipe, yes you will need to be rooted.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Pilgrimtozion:
Rooted, wiped battery stats, and it went from less than 95% up to 98%. Interesting phenomenon. Thank you all heaps! I'll let you know if I run into any more issues.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
Glad you got things working! :cool:
[Motorola Atrix 2] Pilgrimtozion:
Recalibrated battery this morning when my phone was fully charged. Not seeing much improvement, but I'm letting it run out and then charging it to 100%. Or should I actually be going through the 16 step process described above?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
You can try either, but calibration is obviously the less time consuming option. It may take a few "full charge to full drain" discharges to get the battery back to an acceptable capacity...
[Motorola Atrix 2] Pilgrimtozion:
Well, it's a few days later and nothing has made a significant difference. I've been using Badass Battery Monitor to find apps that use an exorbitant amount of battery, but even that has not made a great difference. I've deleted Instagram, a Bible app, a banking App, Temple Run (had a large Sensor Time used), but so far to no avail. It still shows that since I unplugged my phone less than 5 hours ago, the android system has a sensor time used of 1h57m - processes included are servicemanager, com.android.settings, and mid.

Battery Calibration has caused the max charge to be around 4350, but it has not impacted my actual battery life any. I drained it completely, recharged it, did that a few times, then just charged it when at 30-35%, nothing, nothing, nothing.

Any more ideas?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Pilgrimtozion:
Nobody? At all?
[Motorola Atrix 2] apinkel:
It's possible that you've drained the battery too far down, too often. Check out the wikipedia entry on lithium ion batteries and refer to the prolonging battery pack life section.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Pilgrimtozion:
Possible but not likely - my wife has the exact same problem and not done nearly as much with her phone.

I mean I barely make 24 hrs with only occasional light usage. That's not normal.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Fall of Enosis:
Since you've rooted, what's the battery monitor telling you?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Pilgrimtozion:
Nothing spectacular. The Android system and kernel use the most power, rge system always has the sensor used for a good portion of time, but if I don't use my phone too much, the phone radio takes up the most juice it seems.

Hi

I have a few other normal micro USB cables and when I try to use them with the standard HTC plug, the phone shows its charging but the percentage never goes up. In fact it drains even though it says its charging. Why is this? I've tried two new cables with the official wall charger but I get the same. I really want to be able to use a longer cable.

Any ideas? If it helps I'm running Franco r11 kernel.
[HTC One X] wilsonlam97:
Not enough power coming from the power supply. Cable isn't the problem.
[HTC One X] kevz65:
Well how can that be? I'm using the same HTC plug. It works with the white cable that came with the phone. But when a plug a different micro USB cable into it it doesn't.
[HTC One X] Harkirat Chauhan:

[HTC One X] shawan_:
I charge mine with a nokia cable which came with e7.no problem here.
[HTC One X] zvieratko:
all cables are the same, unless they are "charge only" cables (I got one like this for my Nvidia glasses)

it will not drain more than 500mA from USB. But the charging logic is acting weird sometimes so I think you just saw it glitching with other cable and not with the original one. It will drain with both if you use it in the meantime, try it.
[HTC One X] kevz65:
Hmmm. I got the battery widget app which shows + mv when charged with the official HTC cable. When I plug in the other two miscellaneous cables the discharge rate is negative under the same conditions. Maybe its the kernel?
[HTC One X] bigdirtyjase:
My phone currently charges with different USB cables.

I have a blackberry short cable (for when I'm at client sites) and I use my old SE cables to charge and even do file transfers..

Have you ran the charger test in the HTC Phone Diagnostics??
[HTC One X] Euforeik:
From my experience this phone is picky as hell when it comes to what charger it wants you to use. I ended up using the one it comes with. It charges the fastest.

Go to the play store and download battery monitor widget. Its really helpful! Shows you how fast it drains the temperature all in graphs.

I get the your phone is using more power than charge etc. Two cables from eBay and the same thing. Such a pain! I wanted a longer charger
[HTC One X] steveuk9000:
Its got nothing to do with the micro usb cables, there has been another power management update that was released last week, so HTC have told me, as mine sometimes doesnt charge more than 23%-29%, but when rebooted it goes to 63% and sometimes takes 12 hours for a simple charge, but was told it can take up to 4 weeks for the networks to distribute it. Im waiting for it too as my software is still on 1.28.771.9.

Im on 3 uk so it will probably never happen, but im currently in dispute with them because of faulty phone.
[HTC One X] nikmonkey:
Hi I'm having the same problem with a longer USB cable.

I have a 3 meter cable from ebay which I've been using to charge my Desire HD for the past year without a problem.

When I tried this with my new One X it will not charge. The charge light is on but battery level decreases. I've left the phone sitting with the screen off for a while, but no charge.

When I tried it with the USB cable that came with the phone it charges fine, even whilst using the phone, with the same wall charger plug.

I've tried it with the wall charger plug that came with the One X and the one that came with the Desire HD, both same results:

Desire HD charges with both short USB and long USB cable.

One X will only charge with the short USB cable.

Is there a quality difference in the cables, or maybe a length restriction?

My One X is running Stock Android 4.0.3 (1.29.206.11)
[HTC One X] nikmonkey:
I've just bought another 3 meter micro USB cable of higher quality, this one stated it would work with HTC One series phones. This cable charges my phone perfectly. The software on my phone hasn't changed from above.

Somehow it seems the One X, and maybe all other One series phones, are particularly sensitive to the type of USB cable? I didn't realise this could be an issue!
[HTC One X] lawrence750:
weird. i would have thought it was the increased resistance in the cable that was making it charge slower/drain

maybe its literally the quality of the cable, better materials, equals lesser resistance over a longer distance, therefore why the new cable will work and the other doesn't?

hi evryone i've bin looking around for a while now and i can't seem to find the exact thing/explenation i am looking for.

i would like to know what the following are used for.

simply a more value means this

less value means that

if its possible what i understand from it for now is

Min Free KBytes(obvious is suppose)

Dirty Ratio(controls the delay of the kernel writes to data why is this important?so i can control how long it takes for him to flush his memory ?)

Dirty Background Ratio

VFS Cache Pressure(smaller value is bigger cache wich in the end could bite me in the ass ??)

Oom Allocating Task(instead of scanning what to kill it kills whatever made it exceed the memory??)

all i could find on google is people and there prefered settings.

wich could be amazing but aslong as i dont SEE a difference seeing my phone runs smooth to begin with

its rather hard to find out what it does

ty in advance

[Streak 5 Android Development] tenorntex:
Here is my project that I have been working on for a few weeks now. It is currently for Testing Only in its present condition.

My goal is to adjust the settings of the Kernel to squeeze out as much battery life as I can without sacrificing performance to our phones.

It is initially based on the DSC Kernel.

I have added I/O Schedulers as well as numerous Governors. I intend to narrow down the ones to just maybe 2 or 3 of the best ones. as well as adjust the CPU settings and speeds to give the most optimum configurations.

Here is the list so far, but will be reduced with further testing.

I/O Schedulers

cfq

deadline

noop

sio

vr

Governors

brazilianwax

conservative

interactive

interactivex

lagfree

lazy

liionheart

minmax

ondemand

performance

powersave

savagedzen

scary

smartassv2

smoothass

userspace

The biggest hurdle to get through right now, since it is my main focus, is the the screen is rotated which makes it NOT useable yet. Once I get past that, I can adjust settings and make other modifications.

Any suggestions or help will be greatly appreciated. I created a Github account and will try to figure out how to use it. I have also attached a Test5 Kernel as well as a reset Kernel.

[Streak 5 Android Development] macexplorer:
i have always felt droid does too much in the background causing quite an effect on battery life.

Too many processes auto loaded.

This may not be at linux kernel level, but rather above it on the droid's scheduler etc.,

Basically what i would like is to do is disable auto starting apps.

for eg., i dont want yahoo messenger ever to be in process list if i have not started it. and when killed should stay killed.

I guess that should improve the battery life quite a bit.
