Intel hit a homerun with the initial Core 2 Duo/Quad processors after the old Core Duo pieces of crap. Since then they haven't let their quality and performance drop. They were the SSD leaders for awhile as well but Crucial took that away from them, Samsung is making noise but still hasn't been proven.

Really though it just comes down to preference. I'm not really up to date on what AMDs current cpu offerings are, I switched from AMD to Intel during the Core 2 Duo days and stuck into the Core i series. Basically it seems the AMD cpus are sub-par compared to Intel offerings and to counter-balance AMD cuts the price.

Granted while I have no preference for AMDs processors I love their GPUs. The Radeon HD 4870 made a lot of waves when it came out and they've continued to deliver. The 6850/70/90 have excellent performance to price ratios.

That's another item you could swap, is the 6850 for the 6870 (what I'm running currently) or a comparable Nvidia card, just check the reviews on sites like anandtech, tomshardware, legitreviews. Again this is all opinion but the card manufacturers I've been partial to lately are Sapphire/XFX/EVGA, mostly Sapphire because they are the least expensive and I've had great results with them. ASUS and Gigabyte would probably be ok.

Also as an earlier posted said you can most likely get better info/recommendations from a dedicated site like overclock.net.

SKYNET 1.0

Good morning everyone,

I thought I should share the official build I purchased last night. Came out to a little more expensive than I wanted but it will be worth it in the end.

And that's with not doing exactly what I wanted of having two monitors and throwing in there a home theater system build as well.

So I just kept it as a gaming system for now. I will either be upgrading it as I go or sell it in the future and build my second one when I have money for it with exactly what I want, and possibly learn to overclock :)

[HTC Sensation XL] NightOrchid:
Sorry Mod, I couldnt see a Q&A Section ...

Hi Guys

Ive just bought an XL and it looks really great, however, I decided to look up reviews and not Im not so sure:

My XL is pre-owned but perfect condition, but no beats audio headphones in the box, and I have 48 hours too play with it or change my mind, they did have XE in stock as well, so i could change it.

Im running 403, with sense 236, software 2.31.401.2, and I read:

http://www.techradar.com/reviews/phones/mobile-phones/htc-sensation-xl-1039226/review#articleContent

but they are running GB 235 on theirs.

- So has it been improved since 235,,

- did i make a mistake.

Night
[HTC Sensation XL] chaki-:
We as owners can tell you many things. But the truth is, that you must decide what to do and which one are you atracted to ( phone not woman :D ).

XE has better dev section for sure. Specifications you can read all arround the internet. When i bought mine i was gone for the XE actualy. But when i saw them together it was a hard choice man i gotta tell ya :). But that is just a phone not a wife you are taking ;)

Btw don't worry about the beatsaudio earset. It is overrated. Any Sennheiser or in my case Marshall earphones are far far ahead.

It is a tough choice but you got to make it.

Good luck ;)
[HTC Sensation XL] AndroHero:
I have had both the XE & XL and i felt the XL was far smoother. Although if you want to use your phone for gaming, i would go with the XE.
[HTC Sensation XL] NightOrchid:
Thanks to you both for great replies and the nice humour.. hehe.

Like both of you, I actually did try the XE in the store and to be honest, I thought it was quite laggy in the Menu screen and apps, but a factory and Dalvik cache reset might of cleared that, but it was the screen that sold me.. lovely on the XL but dull and lifeless on the XE. I also researched a bit on XE vs XL and the Videos and Tests arent that different, maybe 1 or 2 seconds speed differences.

After reading around and what you guys have said, Ive decided to keep the XL, Its also quite stylish :).

cheers guys

Not many out there from the XL. You maybe not the best equiped "smartphone guy" but definetly one of FEW ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] giris:
In the init.rc, you can find some interesting:

exec /system/bin/iqcopy /system/etc/iq.img.vfat /data/iq.img.vfat
chown system system /data/iq.img.vfat
mkdir /data/app_iq_archive
chown system system /data/app_iq_archive
chmod 0640 /data/app_iq_archive
mount vfat loop@/data/iq.img.vfat /data/app_iq_archive rw nosuid nodev

and

service iqmsd /system/bin/iqmsd
disabled

on property:service.iq.active=1
start iqmsd

on property:service.iq.active=0
stop iqmsd

Whts?! What do those services? Maybe prevent errors in the fs? Do better sound?

Ooo, it's Carrier IQ services running and data backuping ;)

Ok, if you spent some time and decompile framework.jar e.g. from B521 international huawei firmware, you can see this nice pic.

View attachment 1283960

Of course, for Carrier IQ services running, they need in the binaries:

View attachment 1283961

..and some libs:

View attachment 1283962

Q. How it remove?

1. Decompile RamDisk and edit init.rc.

2. Delete iqmsd and iqcopy from /system/bin.

3. Delete libiq * from /system/lib.

4. How remove CarrierIQ from framework.jar, I dont know. After simple deleting CarrierIQ smali, phone not boot.

On ICS I have found just CarrierIQ services running in the init.rc. Framework.jar, system/bin and system/lib - clear. Or, maybe just names are changed, I dont know. We cant be sure for 100%.

Don't forget, Big Brother Watch You! Be careful!

Interesting info:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier_IQ
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Moihack:
hmmmm

really interesting post!

btw maybe if you remove all files about carrier IQ service, then the framework.jar smali may not work but phone still boots.

or we could use framework.jar from other roms, like aurora or CM to get rid of this? I guess it would not exist in AOSP framework.jar
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] giris:
Hi, Moihack!

I think, that AOSP are clear, of course ). But with huawei, we cant be sure. A bit more info:

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Moihack:
hmmmm!

even more interesting links!

I'm starting to get worried about my privacy here.

However I have an idea. Think of it if you want to. Maybe from project and service menu (these .apk files) that can be accessed by dialing some *# "blah blah don't remember right know" code :P. Maybe there are some options there for logging and stuff. I remember seeing some stuff in the past there. Have a look at it if you want.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] cizkek_:
yeah!

we have to remove this thing from our phones...if there is a clean framework someone should port it. (if i had the skills i would definetly port it)....and thank you my friend for this post ( i think i am going to go to my cave,where good things cant spy me)

SETS OF MODS FOR QUARX'S JB CM10 BUILDS

REQUIREMENTS:

* Quarx's cm10 builds (from 12/08)

* Root Explorer (or any file explorer with root capabilities)

Note: This might work also on epsylon's builds (Quarx and epsylon shared a lot of common files on framework)

1. CENTER CLOCK MOD

For all of you who likes to try different things on your phone, i'll give you a modded SystemUI to have the clock centerized on the status bar.

like this:

INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Download SystemUI.apk from attach

2. Copy that file to /system/app and replace original one.

3. Give proper permissions (rw-r--r--) or (644) or (tick Read: owner, group, others / Write: owner)

4. restart your phone

((((Thanx to raubkatze for give me right orientation)))

2. SMOOTHSCROLL MOD

The purpose of this mod, it's overcome some lag on a widely variety of apps when they scroll. If you google about it, you will found that the 'scrollingcache' function inside android making problem. Some application developers recommend disable 'scrollingcache' in app's internal config. But not all applications have disabled scrollingcache. So this mod will disable the scrollingcache throughout the Android OS. All apps will have no problem with scrollingcache.

INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Download framework.jar from attach

2. Copy that file to /system/framework and replace original one.

3. Give proper permissions (rw-r--r--) or (644) or (tick Read: owner, group, others / Write: owner)

4. restart your phone

3. INIT.D SCRIPTS (io tweaks - superclean)

In order to give a little more boost for cm10, i made this tweaks to be initiated with your phone on boot. IO tweak made the scheduler read chunks of 2048 kb, giving a boosting on the overall performance. Superclean script, made a cache/dalvik wipe everytime you start your phone, making better the cache processing on your phone.

INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Download init.d.zip from attach

2. Extract files to /system/etc/init.d

3. Give proper permissions (rwxr-xr-x) or (755) or (tick Read: owner, group, others / Write: owner / Execute: owner, group, others)

4. restart your phone

[Defy Themes and Apps] lolzas:
how come those things work only in cm10 25/08 build?

tnx btw =]
[Defy Themes and Apps] ro_explorer:
because the systemui and framework have been decompiled starting from 25/08 version.

If those 2 files are identical over the last builds (I doubt that) than it can be used also on older builds.

This will work with older quarx's builds (from 12/08 --->). Also, may work on Epsylon's builds as well.

[Defy Themes and Apps] zakoo2:
could you please post a DIY guide on the scrollingcache disabling pls? im on the newest nightly, dont want to go back just to try this out.

and i dont think wiping cache/dalvik on every boot is a good thing, this makes boot very slow (the os has to rebuild the cache for every app on startup, which takes a loong time if you use a lot of apps). there is no need for regenerating cache on the same build over and over again.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buzzwyzr:
Hello.

Let me start by saying I am not new to Android, but totally clueless when it comes to Samsung. I have owned a few HTC handsets and have become fairly comfortable with all things root on those devices. So I have an understanding of how things work, just having some trouble trying to unroot and return my gf's E4GT to stock.

Some background: my gf got the phone from a coworker and it was already rooted. She didn't know this until she tried to accept the OTA update a few days ago. Of course, upon reboot, it went to the ACS recovery screen. A simple reboot and the phone is running...just with no update. I told her what that meant and she asked if I could put it back to stock. So I began my research here and brought me to the point I'm at now.

I'm a huge fan of qbking77. His videos have helped me on all my HTC devices. So I went to his channel and found the video below.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vmEmheJnyg

Downloaded all drivers (Kies), Odin3 v1.85, and the EL29 tar file linked in his video. Installed and setup everything on my Windows 7 x64 desktop. Plugged the phone in and mounted USB storage to install those drivers, unmounted, unplugged the phone, the rebooted the computer and phone. After everything restarted, I opened Odin, put the phone into downloading mode (vol down + power button, the vol up to confirm) and plugged phone into the computer to allow those drivers to install. Pulled phone battery, unplugged from computer, rebooted computer and restarted phone. At this point, I am ready to go.

Opened Odin again, clicked the PDA button, selected the tar file and verified it was there, unchecked every tick box EXCEPT auto-restart in the upper-left of the Odin window. Powered off the phone, put it into downloading mode once again and connected it to the computer. Got the yellow box with COM:4 Hit start and got the message "The parameters are incorrect". Of course, I tried it a few more times...all with the same result. I posted a comment to the YouTube video linked above and qbking77 responded quickly with a suggestion to try running Odin as administrator. I tried that and got the same error message.

I have redownloaded the drivers, Odin and the tar file to ensure it wasn't a bad download. So I'm at a loss at to where to go next.

Here's the current phone info if it helps:

Baseband: S: D710.10 S.EL29

Kernel: 2.6.35.7-SPH-D710.EK02-CL704398

Could the EK02 kernel being used with the EL29 ROM be causing the problem? I have downloaded both the EK02 OdinOC tar as well as the EL29 kernel, but after reading a few threads of bricking, I'm kind of at a standstill lol. Not sure if I should just flash the kernel through CWM and try again. Or run the OC EK02 and see if that works.

Also, when I unzipped the downloaded tar file, that file is actually a tar.md5 file. Is this normal? Also, there's a SS.dll file in that zip. Should I be doing something with that?

Sorry for the longwinded post. And thanks in advance for any guidance you can give me.

Here's a screenshot of the error I've described.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheDudeAbides:
I'm going back to stock today so i can return my phone back to Sprint since it's jacked up. When going back to EL29, can i then push the OTA update? What is the latest version of stock on our device?

EDIT: EL29, but FF18 was released but has caused phones to brick? or it suck? I'll be fine on EL29 when I return it... I think.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chery2k:
I am assuming you have root access. Download an app called x-parts from the googleplay store that will install the CWM for you. I don't remember how to get into recovery by using the app but I think it is pressing the volume d-rocker down or up. Play with your xperia play buttons a little and you will be able to get into recovery.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edwinen:
I do have root, or at least it still seems like I do, with the exception of the errors root checker is giving me. X-parts never worked for me before I changed roms, and it isn't working now. The only way I could get into recovery was by using CWM v. 5.

Whenever I try to install now however, it says it installed, and to reboot, however, when it is rebooting, I never get the blue light like I used to, and when it loads all the way into the system and go back into CWM/x-parts it tells me recovery isn't installed, and that my phone is supported.
