[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SunnyBlue:
Hi,

I have done a clean install, fixed permissions, put SU to "allow" and I'm still getting the message that the process com.android.phone has stop. Anyone has an idea? I'm using kalim v1 of JB. I have tried other roms too with the same problem when the phone boots.

Can someone help please?

Thanks
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rener78:
It has something to do with our SIM card I think. I'm getting the same error. When the SIM card is not inserted I don't get the error.

Videotron's SIM card does that I think.

Anyways if I find something on how to fix it I'll let you know. If you do let me know as well.

Bonne chance

1. Settings-> developer options-> and Window animation scale and Transition Animation scale -> change both of those to 0.5x (or 0 for both, for instant reactions). Doing this will speed up your phone.

2. Settings-> Developer Options--> Limit Background Processes

Set it to 4 to increase the "smoothness" of your phone.

This made absolutely no difference at all in my system but I already had all the bloatware either frozen or removed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Falcyn:
Limiting background apps to 4 is pretty silly when we have 2gb of RAM! That'd make sense if we had 512mb or *maybe* even a gig, but I've never come close to using all 2 and I have an extremely high number of apps installed including a ton that run in the background.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] blackguy101:
I only did what you mentioned in the first tip and omg its amazingly fast!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
While 2gb of ram is nice, the device needs 4 cores to handle the high cpu load...after a couple days without a reboot, my device hits over 1gb ram usage(thats debloated too)...the problem is the cpu cant keep up with all the processes. Limiting them does help, but it would be nice if there was an option for limiting to 8 processes. 4 seems to be a little excessive and causes delays with email updates and what not, but it does infact keep the device smoother overtime.

Edit* also i believe its a TW issue aswell because this issue is non existant on aosp roms like cm10. Thats partially due to alot less crap running in the background compared to stock touchwiz.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Warrior1975:
Flashed my kernel last night. Tried several but adama I like the best so far. Now I'm considering flashing my Rom. Bricked my phone on Sunday...don't want that again. Leaning towards AOPK or FreeGS3. Looking for stability with some extra control...which was why I am leaning towards AOPK. Lots of feedback on FreeGS3 though. Figuring I probably can't go wrong with either one. If I do this do I do a nandroid backup? Wipe entire system, cache, & delvik cache? Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] SiNJiN76:
Nandroid if you want to return to your previous state. A wipe is always good when you are ROM jumping. If you are flashing an update of the same rom that you have... A wipe is not needed unless it says so.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shehade08:
Freegs3 is an awesome ROM but I'm using the cm10 and I love it.

If you want to flash a ROM I would factory wipe the phone and then flash unless your coming from an earlier version of that same ROM then just wipe cache/delvik. Usually the instructions are listed in the thread of the ROM your flashing.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Warrior1975:
Nevermind, just realized someone answered my question in another thread...well here it goes, going to flash.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Themes and Apps] rchad28:
Anyone who has Asphalt 6 (whether it is working on your GTAB or you have it on another device), Asphalt 7: Heat is out for .99 cents on the market. Based on the screen shots, it looks awesome. So check it out.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Themes and Apps] CliveEP:
Not compatible with the p5110 which is a shame as it looks rather nifty
[Galaxy Tab 2 Themes and Apps] rchad28:
If your device is rooted follow these steps:

I got it working by buying Device Spoofer in the playstore (only 1.50 us dollars), run the app, I spoofed as the Galaxy nexus,reboot your device, go to the Playstore and search for asphalt 7. You will know if Device Spoofer works by seeing Asphalt 7 in the Playstore. Once you buy it, then search for GL to SD CARD. download it as well. Run that app, move Asphalt 7 to the ext card by using the app. Go back to the Device Spoofer app, touch restore device, reboot, and run the game and BAM!!! you are good to go.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Themes and Apps] CliveEP:
Cheers for that! Just need to root now!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Themes and Apps] CliveEP:
OK - Device Spoofer seems to have screwed up the Tab. Will not reboot after hitting the restore device button, goes past the Tab 2 screen then blank. Tried factory reset through CWM but nothing. Help!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Themes and Apps] Medic1013:
I used device spoofed today for Asphalt 7 and only problems was the wifi kept going on and off. I let it run until the download finished and restored without problems. I used HTC flyer profile for what it's worth.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Themes and Apps] rchad28:
With me, device spoofer has one flaw, if you spoof too many times, it will not reboot. I do not know what rom you have, but I have CM 9. I have to wipe, factory rest my Tab. but it is extremely rare.

I think that you wifi issue with the signal because I have that issue. At first I use the Galaxy nexus as a profile at first, but I notice the icons on the game seem too big, like stretch out or something, so I re-installed the game under a previous tab 7 model (I think the tab 7.0 plus or tab 7 model) and now the game seems to show up much better and fit the screen more. I have both Asphalt 7 on my tab and HTC amaze but graphics are good on both. However, my Amaze, reflections show up more.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] robertog1994:
So ive had my mytouch 4g slide for about 6 months. Recently i rooted it like 3 months ago, i had wildchilds rom, but then i changed to miks stock rom, everything was fine and dandy, but then my phone stopped sending msgs, receiving msgs, calls not coming in, and calls not going out. I restarted my phone several times, still the same problem. So i took it to T-Mobile, and i told the guy there what happend. He told me to factory reset my phone, and i did infront of him, everything worked fine and all, calls and texts back to normal, but then i looked through my phone, no Market, or play store. I askedhim wahts wrong and he said maybe its a glitch. He told me to restart it, i did, still not there, we factory reset again and nothing. So defeated i left and went home. I thought i could just reflash the rom, but since i dont have any apps and i dont have rom manager, it just ffreezes on me. So i am stuck with my phone without apps. What can i do to get play store on my phone again. :( been like this for 5 days so far. IT SUCKS!

Please help.:good:

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ac3theone:
to get into recovery turn off the phone take out the battery for 5 seconds, put the battery back in and hold vol down while holding the power button. It will take you to the hboot menu. Once there press vol down until recovery is highlighted and Press the power button and it will take you to recovery.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] GoPadge:
Somebody (and I'm speaking more in general terms) should create a good noob guide for Android in general. But then there's a need for specific guides for the major manufacturers too. And of course, I'd really appreciate any guide including a good glossary.

From my experience, XDA and other developer forums are very steeped in detailed technical jargon with little explanation for the casual or new user. And I know that the focus is on development and not hand holding the noobs. But I'll counter with the fact that they do come here, looking for help. And it's infinitely harder to learn when there isn't a good resource.

Having said all that, I do appreciate Blue6IX's [REF] doubleshot Developers Reference.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Coug76:
You are right, I didn't understand what you were trying to communicate.

I was under the impression that when you were writing about ROM Manager that you meant ROM Manager and not CWM. ROM Manager is an application that communicates with CWM and directs it to do what the user directs, CWM is a developed recovery. They are not the same thing. Clarity is helpful if you are asking for assistance.

Here is a thread regarding getting back to stock but I don't know if it will help you.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jlim0512:
I came from the t-mobile galaxy s2 and it ran all my tasks in the background. For example, I'd load up a page and then check my email and I'd come back to see it fully loaded.

Whereas, on my Galaxy Nexus if I try to do that it'll have to reload the page.

I know this was a problem on the HTC one X and S, but has this always been something going on in the Nexus or was it after the update to jellybean?

Is there a way to enable apps running in the background?

Thank you in advanced.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ECOTOX:
Mine does it fine Idk what's going on with yours :3 i multitask all the time
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nonione:
you prolly got too many stuff running in the background at all time thats eating up your RAM

cant blame you seems like a gig of RAM isnt enough anymore
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akira02rex:
I'll agree with the others. Mine usually works the way you have described but sometimes it doesn't, especially with Chrome. If you wait too long the OS will also kill the app no matter if there's enough free ram or not iirc. I'd think if you just switched to email or sms or the alike, then switched back to the browser within a couple of minutes it should work just fine. 2gb of ram would definitely help though!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] I Am Marino:
Do you have the setting to kill apps after exiting enabled in Developers Settings?

Turn that off if it's on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jlim0512:
No I don't and I have the "background process limit" to standard limit. What is the standard limit?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LNJ:
I have to agree with the OP. On my SGS2 i9100, apps stay alive much longer in the background buttons on the GNex they have to reload even if it's the 3rd apply on hold.

But then again the I9100 had 835mb free ram and the GNex only has 695mb free ram.

Where's all of our ram being allocated to? GPU? It was like that on my Droid X2, was so annoying that the original Droid X had more free ram than it did

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
What I find surprising is that any somewhat-experienced developer can tell you that RAM is so important on Android, much more than processing power, yet phones are released QUAD-CORE, which makes no sense. Android is a semi-multitasking operating system, it would benefit more from a really good dual-core rather than an average quad-core processor.

RAM is important, because when you switch applications on Android, your app's are 'hybernated' in memory until they are called back again. It is also possible for developer to hybernate the application better (such as store the state on internal memory), but most applications do not use it.

What this means is that if you have a lot of applications running and some applications 'ping' in your background frequently, then you will have very little RAM available on your phone. So when new application is run, the old hybernated ones are killed off.

Where does this take us?

It takes us back to 2010 when released phones had very little internal memory. Applications were growing in size and functionality back then, but most could not be moved to SD card and some parts of the application stayed on internal memory anyway. This meant that after a while, you really could not install all the apps you found useful because you kept running out of internal memory.

This is similar to 2012, where most phones have just 1GB of RAM and only very few new phones have realized this as a problem and have upgraded to 2GB. It is similar because again, apps grow in size and functionality and require more RAM. And in time this means that you can only have very few applications running at the same time without being killed off. Right now, if you happen to run a game like Shadowgun, be prepared to have most of your background apps killed off the moment you start the game.

On the 1GB version of Galaxy S3 that was released in EU there are even problems where the launcher itself is killed off because applications require RAM.

So it's similar in that in a years time, 1GB of RAM will be a real nuisance on the phone because it almost entirely kills off multitasking capability of the phone.

Developers know it, yet marketers and people who 'make the decisions' do not seem to care. They can advertise better processor much more efficiently than more RAM, since people can notice speed, but rarely notice RAM. Most people don't even know that their phone could work better if it had more RAM.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] elban:
What I've found is that, on JB, clicking back on an app until you get out will bring you to the home screen instead of the application you were using before opening the last one.

Pretty annoying if you ask me! Anyone knows how to change this behavior?

The stock browser behavior is not changed much from ics, though. It often reloads, but I'm not sure it's been killed, it might just be that the page is "expired" in some way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubomime:
That's what "recents" is for. Why would you press the back button ten times, even if that worked?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] elban:
The application state wil be different if you change app by history or by hitting back.

I often leave an app by hitting back because I want it to start from the main screen (not where it was) when I get to it (eventually) later.

It's like iconifying a window on a pc and it shows the desktop instead of the underlying window(s): doesn't make sense to me.

And anyway it's been different on all previous android versions (tested from cupcake on :) )

Great to hear, although what you executed should be considered the last-ditch effort. No one should have to reimage their handset to fix issues like this. Now that you're in a good state, though, get yourself an excellent cache cleaner from the Google Play store (now that you can actually use it), and use it.frequently. It might be a proactive measure that will prevent this from occurring in the future.
