[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badjaguar007:
Let me give you something which I tried before a long time and which worked for me.

If the flashing has a prob, try this (but at your own risk)

1. Charge to 100%. Not to even 99%. Full 100%

2. Recovery

3. Wipe Battery Stats

4. Reboot

IF you find considerable difference then it might be just solution.

If battery is the prob,

change to company battery then.

PS: I know Google engineer Dianne Hackborn has debunked the myth of Battery Wipes.

Am I correct that the only images I need to flash to get back to OTA-updateable are:

Boot

System

(I already have stock Recovery, Radio, Bootloader)

I ask because I installed BusyBox recently (in a stock JB 4.1.1 install), and I want to get rid of it now, but I've heard that it leaves files in bin that break OTA

Im wondering if someone can help. Iv recently bought a Sumvision nano+ off ebay. So far i have found it hopeless. Doesnt quite seem to work very well and seems a bit devoid of features. I would like to root it and install a custom rom if possible.

It came with Android 2.3 and then sumvision released an ICS upgrade...although tbh it seems less stable now than it did with ICS. Web browser crashes alot, it drops internet signal, Iplayer doesnt like playing.

Is there anything i can do?

My phone is a SG3 with an Omega Rom and i love it. I would just like to perk up this android tv box.

Basic specs

Try the Pivos XBMC rom

I have this box and have reflashed the device with the Pivos XBMC rom - follow the instructions on the Pivos forum (search for Official Pivos XBMC Linux port (Beta Release 100912)). It works really well - smooth HD video, quick to start up, and XBMC is an excellent media centre. Only downside is that the device is no longer running Android (so no Angry Birds)! You can always flash it back using the downloads on the Sumvision site.

eCompass: AKM akm8973: Source in android linux kernal

Touch: Atmel mxT224: Likely requires port? (if the V is like the S7, the driver is badly mangled by dell) [Part of porting kernel]

Basically, once we get a reasonably working kernel, it might be possible to get a fully working ICS port (possibly including camera too) without having to port any drivers ourselves.

The V looks like a potentially very easy device to update to ICS, it's unfortunate Dell didnt bother updating it nor do we have many devs.

The mxT224 also supports more then the 2 touch points we currently have, but dell badly botched up the drivers for the S7 (which uses the same controller), and likely did the same for the V

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Incredible510:
Hey guys,

So its been about 3 week since I've had the SG3 and I love it, everything except the battery life.

My battery life varies alot day from day which is really weird.

I have LTE on (but i'm either at the office or home, so wifi is usually connected instead), background sync on, GPS off, Bluetooth off,NFC off, about 25% brightness and power saver mode on at all times.

Somehow it seems that when in standby and not in use it drains more battery than when in use and using LTE instead of WiFi.

For example today, full charge since 8am, and I'm at 38%..(It's only 3:30). This is being on WiFi for 90% of that time and only occasionally texting and checking twitter/facebook/email.

Your experiences?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Vorfidus:
My GS3 gets great battery life (well, at least compared to my old D2G lol...). 5 hours and 20minutes off the charger, and I'm at 65%. But mind you, my screen has been on for nearly two hours of that, and I've been on the internet/in a call for 30mins of that, and texting for the remainder. People seem to be getting mixed results as far as battery, it's just one of those quirks. There's actually already a thread going about battery life.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cbrehob:
My battery life was pretty awesome. I can get through a whole day with no issues

But when I am at work and tethering, definitely leave it plugged in.

Just flashed beans rom v3 and my battery life took a hit.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Incredible510:
Hmm interesting.

The screens only been on for 54 minutes of the 8 hours 11 minutes the phones been off the charger.

For some reason when I'm about and using LTE and constantly calling/txting/tweeting and what not I have better battery life than sitting at home or at the office on wifi and using the phone less.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dukemagic:
Yeah my battery life is also very inconsistent. Just sitting at home on my desk it will sometimes drop only a few 3% over several hours and sometimes it will drop 35%. I haven't been able to figure out any contributing factors yet. I do get terrible cell reception at home but I keep it on wifi, and the above examples are when the phone is sitting in the same place.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nosympathy:
consistantly 20 hours with 4 hours screen time on and usually with still 25-30% battery left. Always on 4G never on wifi. Never have battery saver on.

Only thing I do have is a setcpu profile for screen off that severely limits the cpu.

How do you setup that profile?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Beemer533:
I have only had my S3 for 2 weeks, but I have been able to easily get a full day out of the battery. I typically have about 1 hour talk time, 2-3 hours wifi and maybe an hour of 4G web surfing.

I do have the battery saver mode on (not sure how much of a difference it makes) and I generally don't charge during the day.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mrmccain9:
Mine is also very inconsistent. When it is just in my pocket it lasts a really long time 12-18 hours, but if I'm doing something simple like listening to music with the screen off, from the sd card it dies in half that time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chip594:
When I'm home and connected to WiFi I have been turning off mobile data. Whenever I wake my phone up from sleep it notifies me at the bottom of the screen "connected to my wifi network". So I don't know if the WiFi goes off in sleep mode, if that's the case then it normally would be connecting in and out of 3g/4g hadn't I turned off mobile data.

I've also been very religious about fully closing apps instead of just hitting the home button. Also using task manager to clear out running processes and ram

Both of these seemed to help out tremendously

[Xoom General] TheDarkRealm:
Can anyone advise me on the exact screen dimensions for the Xoom 2 ME, I know it has an 8.2" screen diagonal but what does this translate to in MM for the height and width (for the screen only, not the device itself?)

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Cheers
[Xoom General] big ach:
I believe its 6.82 inches X 4.54 inches = 173.228 mm X 115.316 mm

Based on the ratio of the resolution... 1200x800

And using this rectangle diagonal rule

Diagonal = square root(w^2 + h^2)

8.2 = square root(6.82^2 + 4.54^2)

Or

1442.2205 = square root(1200^2 + 800^2) divided by 175.88055

I think that's right :)

Cheers!

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rirozizo:
you've moved really fast i can't keep up :P

great job.

any support for GB? did anyone try that on GB? or is it impossible?

———————————————————

i didn't mean to mock you or to offend you in any kind of way
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
I supposed its possible both features are just init.d scripts. But I don't know enough about the shell scripting differences between GB and ICS to know whether or not there will be conflicts. In theory you could take the sdparts init from elitmod cm7 and replace it in the zip (or I can when I get home)

The data swap one is very simple and may work without a problem, I'm more concerned about the sdext part.

Sent from my T-Mobile G2
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rirozizo:
it's currently 2:07am here so you'll do it when you get home ;)

at first try the data swap (since you have high hopes, and since i'm more interested in it), then try the sdext...

data swap can be used without sdext, but as you mentioned, using both allows the data swap file to have more physical space to move around on every reboot...

but if everything woked out, i'll be using the data swap without sdext... cuz i really don't have sd space (i dunno why)

———————————————————

i didn't mean to mock you or to offend you in any kind of way
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
Yea I mean if you flash the zip and don't have an sd-ext partition, nothing should happen, since it'll only activate if it see's an sd-ext partition.

And to see what I mean about the dataswap init script, this is all it is:

# Enables swap on data partition
# file is /data/local/swap

# POI: this can be used along with sdcard swap partition
# the load will be automatically evenly divided between the two locations
mv /data/local/swap /data/local/swap.old
busybox dd if=/dev/zero of=/data/local/swap bs=1M count=64
chmod 0600 /data/local/swap
mkswap /data/local/swap
swapon /data/local/swap
rm -f /data/local/swap.old

All it does is move the swap file to old (which course only does it if it exists), create a file of 64MB, make it a swap file, and turn it on. Rinse and repeat every time you boot up the phone.

I doubt those commands changed much from GB to ICS. The 04sdcardparts file on the other hand is around 240 lines. I'll unpack the one from EliteMod CM7 and run a diff on them to see if they're any different (if not, its because he simply migrated his latest work from ICS that he's currently on, to CM7 to fix the bug, which I think you were the one to report initially).

But yea as long as you understand the caveats of using DataSwap without an sd-ext I don't think it would be a major problem (just probably wouldn't perform as well in my opinion since you're accessing the same device for both swap and standard apps).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rirozizo:
well, i have sdswap that is on too so this might increase multitasking and swap speed a little more...

the data swap commands, is this it? all of it? cuz i can just copy past them into a .sh file and execute the script at boot... is it legit if i do that?

———————————————————

i didn't mean to mock you or to offend you in any kind of way
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
Yea that's all of it, the zip basically installs it by doing:

...
package_extract_file("system/etc/init.d/80dataswap", "/system/etc/init.d/80dataswap");
package_extract_file("system/etc/init.d/04sdcardparts", "/system/etc/init.d/04sdcardparts");
ui_print("Modifying permissions...");
set_perm(0, 0, 0775, "/system/etc/init.d/80dataswap");
set_perm(0, 0, 0775, "/system/etc/init.d/04sdcardparts");
unmount("/system");
...

So technically if you want to do it manually all you have to do is save that as 80dataswap in /system/etc/init.d and make sure to set chmod 0775 on it, and reboot.

I just took a look at the one on EliteMod CM7, it's different and a heck of a lot smaller. It's a file called 10apps2sd and only 39 lines. I'm almost wondering though if other aspects of the /sd-ext partition are in other init scripts (i.e.: initialized variables and such set before reaching that level of the init).

Also the EliteMod CM7 thread doesn't seem to make any mentions of DataSwap, was probably only created for his ICS rom (though the script seems like it'd work on just about any rom supporting those commands and had enough free space to work with).

In fact because nothing has changed dataswap wise from his own dataswap zip you could just grab it from his thread whichever size you want and flash it. It'd be identical to this bundled one without the sd-ext.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rirozizo:
well init.d commands are supported for all Vision ROMs, and i'm sure they are supported on CM builds. so now the problem only lies on auto-sdext for GB.

EDIT: ok, before i reboot:

i have a 128MB sd swap already active... how do i know that the 64MB data swap is active too?

you knew that by noticing the 64MB in "free"command ... but i already have a 128MB swap in "free" command

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
Got a suggestion for a good GB-based rom you were thinking of?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rirozizo:
lol, tsubus in his ILWT thread was talking about it 2 days ago... if it works, i might switch back to his ROM

———————————————————

i didn't mean to mock you or to offend you in any kind of way
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
Well later tonight (i.e.: after the hours someone might likely call/text), I'll give ILWT a try. Will install it clean, install some apps, then apply the mod, then install some more apps so that I know 1) already installed apps get moved, and 2) it continues to work even if you reboot.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rirozizo:
i've configured the dataswap script... i'll reboot and report now

EDIT: ready for the big news? IT WORKS!

before the reboot, i had about 128MB sdswap on, and 166MB free in the /data partition.

afterr reboot, i now have 197MB swap (which is 128MB + 64MB... + the extra numbers :P ) and 95MB free in /data...

now with the deletion of some bloat apps (i have about 210 apps) i might get over 100MB free in /data, that way the file could have some space to physically move...

i'll throw my 5 thanks of the day to you now :)

EDIT: whoa! now with that much extra RAM, i think i should bump up my VM heap size.

EDIT: something weirrd just happened:

while i uninstalled 2 apps (100 floors and its official cheats) i went to check /data's free memory and it showed me 163MB, that's only 3MB "eaten" by the dataswap. so i went to terminal and saw that the total is still 197MB... is it because the file has a "dynamic" size? (meaning it gets larger when it needs to) or is it a constant size... and if it has a constant (64MB) size, what just happened with my /data partition?

———————————————————

i didn't mean to mock you or to offend you in any kind of way
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
The dataswap file would be a prefixed size, i.e.: if it was created as 64MB it stays as 64MB, what it consumes internally may vary, but its always eating least 64MB of the /data partition.

You could always run something like du -hs /data/*

to see what is using what space.

In other news the swap seems to be maxing out on mimicry (but I wonder if it's because a 1.3GB app is being installed from the play store and is using all the ram and then some), on elitemod it normally wouldn't get higher than 40mb or so.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rirozizo:
ok, i confirmed this, no need to test it yourself... it practically works on ILWT as there is not much difference between EMCM7 and ILWTCM7...so you might wanna change OP and put that data swap works on GB... although never tested on sense or MIUI.

i can see it's using it a little bit... i mean i opened root explorer, play store, settings, then tapatalk. and when going back to root explorer it restarted... it didn't keep root explorer cached... is there a way to increase swap caching? i mean if i were android i would start caching in swap until i at least use 75% of it

———————————————————

i didn't mean to mock you or to offend you in any kind of way
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
I think it's going to vary by the app, the swap is only used when memory is being run out of which is the way you want it to work. Swap shouldn't be used as caching per-se, just mainly as a ceiling for when ram is being used up.

I noticed that when using SuperChargerV6 the swap usage is almost nil, but course SuperCharger may prevent apps from multitasking as much.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
I think it's a good idea to use the init.d scripts from the CM9 compatible kernel if you didn't. It basically just removes the support for async init.d ordering but should work everywhere even on AOKP. I had to make sure the scripts run in an order for the ROM installation but alone they don't need the syncing code and it reportedly freezes on CM9.

(EDIT, nevermind, it doesn't really matter since this script is the first of the sequence. Still the extra lines are unnecessary)

Also an "OFF" package may be a good idea ;)

The swap usage is due to the tweaks in elitemod_kernel.sh, when the swap gets full it will slow the phone down to a crawl. That's why supercharger causes problems with swap, it overrides something in there.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
I'd imagine off for dataswap would simply be your original OFF mod zip, since int wouldn't do anything differently. What would be interesting would be an "off" for sd-ext, which I guess would just be a edify script to move /sd-ext/app and /sd-ext/app-private back to /data and then the removal of the init script.

But yea not all roms are designed to be used with swap storage, those that don't normally have a means of using swap on their own may behave differently when that's introduced into the mix, where as your rom actually has been tweaked with the possibility of using swap in mind.

I still get the best battery life and smoothest swap transfer with EliteMod though. (on mimify for example ,the CPU steps are not as frequent, and is a minimum of 245mhz, with no vdd_levels exposed for undervolting).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
Well I wonder if it can be done entirely in recovery. I suppose it's as simple as mounting /data and /sd-ext and copying the data, then wiping /sd-ext. All in one neat flashable package. I guess 4EXT is pretty smart about mount points so it may be as simple as

run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/sd-ext");

and maybe not :p
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
I would think so too, but course I'd be more concerned about checking to see if /data will be able to contain the apps stored in /sd-ext if someone went past the 1GB size. But ya I was thinking bout it being done completely in recovery, and just removing the init script from /system after the move and wipe has been done to sd-ext.

Could probably even run_program () a small shell script copied to /tmp.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
Well even if it was impossible to check free space and filesizes directly from recovery you can still invoke shell scripts and use busybox. Something like

run_program("/sbin/su", "/tmp/script.sh");

Even do the move from there. And then share the flashable zip :D

I admit you are most likely better at shell than I am, I don't use desktop linux outside VM.
