Before flashing a custom kernel you have to first flash an insecure boot.IMG. if you want oc. Go to my kernel thread and down load the stockish kernel. Extract the holiday.IMG from the zip and flash it in fastboot.

It may be flashable in recovery selecting the holiday option when the installer asks. After doing this you should be able to flash any oc kernel of your choosing. You only have yo flash the insecure boot.IMG once. Afterwards you shouldn't ever need to do it again.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lucasryan:
Thank you! Didn't see anywhere about having to do that, will try that when I get home today. I'm guessing that after I flash that .IMG I need to reflash the kernel too? The kernels work really good without oc but just wanted to tinker...boy I tell ya, I'm really liking android over windows that's for sure
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lucasryan:
Well i tried it and it said it flashed, but it is now stuck at the white HTC logo on boot? Do you have a suggestion to fix? Should i just go ahead and flash another rom? If rom, what rom would you suggest me to flash? Thanks
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] kozmikkick:
You used fastboot flash boot holiday.img ?and then flashed your oc kernel in recovery?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lucasryan:
Yes sir that is correct....i went ahead and wiped my data after i couldnt get it boot. So i guess i got to start over now.. I downloaded your pegasus rom, but not to sure how to install rom yet but am working on figuring that out. Do you have instructions to install your rom?

All the other stuff , unlocking bootloader, perm root, and s-off was pretty simple...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] kozmikkick:
You just flash my ROM in recovery. I'd advise selecting stockish kernel when asked as the installer can be picky about what recovery you use for kozmikkernel.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lucasryan:
Thanks for your help buddy, everything went really smooth.....im loving your rom very much so!!!

Hello. I am new to this forum. I am curious how many people really use a swap partition and what is the method of of using swap in htc wildire s?

I am well aware of Linux OS and understand the need of swap but in case of android does it really improves something?
[HTC Wildfire S] edu_stoicescu:
Hi.I will try to explain you what i know: :laugh:

-swap partition is needed to work some ROM's,combinated with ext partitions.

-you can create swap partition with MiniToolWizard

-in same time,you can create with CWM recovery.

If you need,i will give you a link for MiniTool.

If i helped you,please click "Thank's" button.Have a nice day !!
[HTC Wildfire S] ahmerkhan:
Does android automatically detect SWAP Partition on SD Card and utilize it automatically?
[HTC Wildfire S] edu_stoicescu:
Yes(i think).
[HTC Wildfire S] Hawke84:
does it? i thought the kernel had to had zram enabeled to allow swap use? i might be wrong though..
[HTC Wildfire S] omnomnomkimiiee:
Most roms auto-detect, but I'd recommend checking with the devs before partitioning your sd card.

Also, unless you have a class 6 or upwards, it won't really do any good.
[HTC Wildfire S] finance.resat:
Where did u find that info?? Is class 4 mmc that bad????:s
[HTC Wildfire S] .xxx.:
never use a swap partition on any android phones. It does no good. The swap partition are made with your sd card which is more than 10 times slower than your internal memory. When an app is loaded or is sent to swap partition cache memory, it takes time to copy or load the files.

Android already has a system for moving unused apps to cache memory. So, let android do its job.

[HTC Wildfire S] finance.resat:
Well thats some info for me thanks a lot.
[HTC Wildfire S] edu_stoicescu:
This can make phone slower? Just that ?

How can i know if the swap partition is enable ?(i don't know if i have a swapt partition,i forgot that)

And if i have,all i need is to delete this ,just that ?Or i need to reinstall the rom ?
[HTC Wildfire S] finance.resat:
Just ignore his comment. We need Linux swap. Without it phone gets laggy. I tested it myself.

Download minitool partition wizard home edition. Its free Google it. After installing it and insert ur sdcard via card reader and run the program.it will show ur partitions.

You don't need to uninstall ur system. Just make nandroid backup using recovery. Re format only the ext and swap partition. Based on wat ext u had earlier. All partitions should be primary.

Then from advance recovery restore sd-ext.

@Edu: just search xda for details of swap partition. There have been number of discussions regarding it and all have ended up denying the use of swap partition. These have been comfirmed by much experienced devs, who have been cooking roms for more than 3 years. But still if you dont believe, i would recommend you to google a little and then make the decision.

[HTC Wildfire S] finance.resat:
But sir without it the phone gets very laggy. Means every games run slower. The antutu gpu score gets lowered.

U can easily get 645-630 3D with swap. But without it u can't cross 615. That may seem as little gain but for games it becomes a big issue.

Maybe that is because the extra cache memory are directly transferred to swap memory. Games which require huge cache memory can be of profit. :) thanks for the screens btw :)

@op : just take nand back up and back up your sd card. Try the swap partition thing and if it is beneficial, go ahead or else you know what to do :)

Swap Partition

Hi, i'm new here so i'ld really appreciate anyone who can really help me on this:

I created a swap partition(256mb) on my sd card for my HTC wfs. now after making series of research on swap partition, i found out that swap parttion is necessarily not needed and even if i av to use the 256mb i allocated is too much. Now i need help on how to delete the swap partition without losing my DATA ON MY SDCARD. PLEASE ANYONE WITH THE RIGHT HELP
[HTC Wildfire S] crossfire77:
that's kinda not possible i guess..with mini partition tool you can delete swap or ext3 partition and create ext4 visa versa..but if you wanted only fat32 it isn't possible.

either if you have ext3 or ext4..open mini partiiton tool..delete swap and delete ext3 or ext4(which one you have)

and create partition(ext3 or ext4) from remaining free space...in this your fat32 will be unchanged..

but obviously ext3/4 will be deleted..bt its okay to hv swap partition..256 MB hasn't big space..the whole concept of swap derived frm link2sd i guess..latest int2ext scripts dont need swap..but int2extv2+ need.
[HTC Wildfire S] heavy_metal_man:
Copy all of your data to your pc, then format the card via clockworkmod recovery. It should remove the partition. If not you can try gparted for linux or easeus partition master for windows pal.

If your trying to keep your ext partition but without a swap then copy your data to the pc, then select partition sdcard from clockworkmod recovery. Just don't select a swap and you will be fine :)

Oh, and make a nandroid backup to back up whats on your ext partition ;)
[HTC Wildfire S] lakesYde:
swap partition

thanks dude really appreciate but going by what you said i have ext3 and already used a2sd that means if i delete ext3 definately i'll lose my data. that is what i'm trying to avoid but since you said my 256mb aint much a big deal, i think i wld leave it then.

Thanks a bunch.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Lex-:
Hello dear members, I bricked my Samsung M820 Prevail, it now in bootloop, just show SAMSUNG at start up then reboots, the brick occurs when I modified NV items, well the facts are:

I can put it in download mode then use Samsung Odin to flash all (Boot, PDA, Phone) without problems but again after reboot enters in bootloop

The recovery mode (volume up + power) don't work.

I'm sure that can revert brick if know how to communicate with the phone in download mode to access NV items (EFS partition), but unfortunately CDMA Workshop or QPST can't communicate with the phone in download mode...

Exist a program that can communicate with the phone using Odin protocol to access partitions (EFS) ? maybe a way to backup EFS with odin then modify it and flash it back to the phone?

I know exactly what NV item caused the problem (NV item 1878), I only need to change it, but my phone stuck in download mode... any ideas greatly appreciated !

Thank you.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Lex-:
Maybe I can flash with odin a modified bootloader that can skip NV items, then phone boot to OS then I can enable DM ? or maybe a bootloader that redirect the boot to the SD card to enable DM ? ... ok, ok, it's difficult, but who knows...

Can someone share a prevail backup of EFS (efs.rfs or CDMA.rfs) then I will modify it with my own parameters than flash it to the phone with odin...

I don't know what to do ! the easy way is get another phone but I prefer the challenge... let me know. Thanks.

Hey there,

i'm trying to program my own rpg for android, so my need is some custom, random map creator to use it.

i wrote some code myself and i'm pretty sure it's working.

BUT:

i'd like you to post some screensots of my app running on your phone.

Cause i don't have more than one android device :P

so here is what i want YOU to do:

screenshot of my app on your phone

your screen resolution

your device name

describe every bug/error you notice on your device

known issues:

map creation times rises

no more extremly

, but still fast

SOLVED

movement in big maps nearly impossible

left pixels on screen bottom and right

field could scale to small

PS: this app can't harm you or your device. it don't need any permission :D

PPS: thanks in advance :highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] frenzyboi:
so here is what i want exactly:

- screenshot of my app on your phone

- details on max map size

- your screen resolution

- your device name

- describe every bug/error you notice on your device

1) First screenshot is when I first opened the app.

The second screenshot is when I set the map to 10 x 100.

2) Not sure what you meant. The third screen shot is 15 x 20. Is that the "max" you meant?

3) 480 x 854 pixels, 3.3 inches (~297 ppi pixel density)

4) Xperia Ray ST18i

5) No bug/error.
[Android Apps and Games] Sh4itan:
first, thanks for your reply :D

second, it's not exactly the max size i meant.

Maximum size should be, when your screen vertical is filled with the map, but no field is shown only half and horizontal the navigation buttons should be on the right border but still on an accessable size.

Cause later i need to set a fixed map size that should be playable for every device :D

edit: looks like your max size should be 12x13?
[Android Apps and Games] frenzyboi:
12 x 15 still looks okay. 12 x 16 and the buttons start changing size.
[Android Apps and Games] Sh4itan:
Ok,

looks like i have to set the size of the squares depending to the display resolution...

i got a friend to test it on an HTC One X with 1280x720 pixels and he was able to set a map sized to 18x25...

but i'm afraid how tiny this would go on older devices :confused:

Update v0.3
[Optimus One, P500, V General] CosmicDance:
Hi all,

My O1 has a problem wherein some apps recognise the files present on the SD card and some don't. I'm going to eloborate the scenario below.

Well, firstly the current ROM i'm running is the latest MIUI by Zack, which i had installed yesterday night. But prior to that i was running the stable CM7.2 with the candied kernel by DjnoXD.

While i was running the CM7, i noticed that only PowerAmp was able to detect my music present in the microSD card. Apps such as GentleAlarm, JetAudio, Fusion Music player and the default music player wasn't able to detect any music on my phone. So i assumed that the microSD card has ran it's course, since it was more than 2+ years old.

So yesterday, i bought a SanDisk Ultra 16GB class 10 card, and I installed MIUI on it, and to my disappointment, MIUI player didn't detect any music player, same result with JetAudio, Fusion and GentleAlarm. Yet somehow PowerAmp magically is able to detect the music!

Now I'm sure this problem is not because of a faulty microSD card, Kernel or the ROM.

I hope i have provided enough information, If more is needed please inform me about it.

What could be the problem? I searched a lot before making this thread.

Regards,

CD

Edit: I'm facing a lot of signal loss recently... Could this be due to a damaged hardware? I did drop the phone a couple of times
[Optimus One, P500, V General] lolphirae:
Installed ROM Manager? :p
[Optimus One, P500, V General] CosmicDance:
I never liked Clockwork recovery or the ROM Manager, I use amonra recovery and MIUI doesn't have ROM Manager... Also i did check for the .nomedia file using root explorer, i didn't find it in the .nomedia file in the ringtones/alarm/music folders...

I feel my phone has a hardware damage as the signal keeps getting lost way too often after i dropped the phone... It wasn't a very steep fall, probably it fell on a delicate spot which i presume is located where the sd card and antenna is located(i.e., at the top of the phone)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] CosmicDance:
Can this be fixed by servicing? My phone's out of warranty anyways... or do i buy another phone?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] alobo:
Does your sdcard work fine otherwise? Can you view pictures/documents or move apps to sd? If so, it looks like for some reason the phone is not scanning for music files and building it's music database. Why don't you try flashing another gingerbread or an ics rom to test?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] rr0yy:
Nothing is wrong with your phone. There can be many reasons for this problem.

Copy entire microsd card to your PC. Now delete all the useless folders created by so many music

players you used.. in the copied folder. Search for .nomedia in complete copied

folder.

Format your microsd card.. (fat32). Copy everything back. Done!!!

Dont do this if you dont have knowledge about which folders to keep and delete.

I recomend you to use only one music player at a time!!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] neko95:
> search for .nomedia files on folder and delete those.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] CosmicDance:
I had deleted all the .nomedia files present... yet i had the problem. So I formatted my sd card again, created a 512 MB ext2 partition, a 64MB swap partition and the rest as FAT32 via the recovery.

I flashed the latest CM7 nightly and the default music player is able to recognise the files...

However randomly, the music apps keep scanning for media files and show 0 results... it's as if the sd card slot is loosly attached to the phone.

The signal keeps dropping often, and i'm sure it's not the network problem as i have an older nokia phone which has full signal... i mean at times, if ppl call my o1, i'm unreachable yet if the nokia is called at the same time, people are able to connect...

I suspect it's some hardware fault... Can it be fixed?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] rr0yy:
Cant be sure about your network problem. May be baseband not properly flashed.

Second.. go to network preferences and select Only Gsm or Only Wcdma. Not auto.

If you are using a2sd or link2sd.. Dont move the default music player to sd card.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] CosmicDance:
I Will try the gsm/wcdma only option.

Im sure I flashed the new baseband correctly as Ive been using it for more than 8-9 months...

I'll test this for a while...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] eigokyoukan:
Could be a long shot, but maybe try to GENTLY clean the contacts on the SD card slot.

Sorry to hear you are still having these issues.

If I had the money for it... I would upgrade to a more powerful phone hehe. Not that it helps your current issue...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] CosmicDance:
Well, I've gently pressed the sd card slot hoping it would fix the problem ... I'll test this phone for a couple of weeks, and if the problem persits, I'll give it for servicing to a known person rather than a LG service centre...

I can manage with random unmounting issue , but random/often signal losses defeats the purpose of having a phone...

Hi everybody,

first of all I have to say that the ICS-upgrade for XP was worth the waiting. It is super and many things improved. Especially battery life and the sound went better. ..

But here comes my problem:

When I connect the phone via wifi to my Fritz!Box 7390 (WPA2) I can use the network for a few seconds, but then it crashes. When I make an AP to the box with another router or a computer I can use the network normally, but I cant download anything from the Play Store. It just stucks at downloading. Browsing is ok. Sounds strange does it?

Upnp is enabled and I also tryed to forward the needed ports manually with no sucess. Of course the box has the newest firmware.

Do you have any idea?
