[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fabioascoelho:
Hello,

I'm using a CM9 ROM with support to init.d scripts, there's a lot of them working (including a test script that i created to make a text file and write Hello Android on it when i boot up), but there's one particular script that I can't make it work properly. I'm trying to make the tip provided by the user tiwag on his post here to work on init.d.

But when I created a script named 11roaming on my init.d with the following sintax:

#!/system/bin/sh

getprop | grep operator
echo OiBrT start

setprop gsm.sim.operator.alpha "BRA BrTCelular"
setprop gsm.operator.isroaming false

getprop | grep operator
echo OiBrT done

The only thing that work is the

setprop gsm.operator.isroaming false

but the code

setprop gsm.sim.operator.alpha "BRA BrTCelular"

doesn't. My

gsm.sim.operator.alpha

continues to be the default "Oi" and not "BRA BrTCelular" on bootup.

Any specift reason for it not to work? This same script works fully with the app SManager.

I created the script file with Root Explorer Text Editor, so I think there isn't characters mistakes.

I need help to fix this since I'm new to linux/android scripting.

Thank you

I am wondering if anyone of you feel suspicious about RAM consumption on android?

Here is an example:

Galaxy tab 2 7" listed with 1GB RAM, but when viewed with stock task manager in RAM manager section, the RAM available is not 1GB, but rather on some 687MB. Furthermore, from that 687MB there is some already used by apps. Even on newly bought device with no open apps, the amount of used RAM is around 200MB, so that leaves only approx 487MB left. Even after using task killers, there is still hundreds of MB used RAM

When I search for why the RAM is not 1GB, people answer its because its reserved by android.

When I search for why there are used RAM when there is no open apps and on newly bought device, people also answer its because its used by android.

So I would categorize the problem as "the missing RAM" and "the used RAM" and ask these question:

1. If the "missing RAM" is reserved by android, then what is using the "used RAM"?

2. If the "used RAM" is used by android, then what is causing the "missing RAM"?

Does that means android double use the RAM? or is it something else? :confused:

Please enlighten me.

Great question, and I have been wondering the same thing. :thumbup:
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mohamedselim:
The problem with me is somewhat like you i found with stock rom that have alot of bloatware that i have about 680 mb after installing cm10 which do not have bloatware at all the same amount of memory is found !!!!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PX7:
It's easy in the world of IT 1gb is never 1024mb its 1,000mb in most cases(You can actually see your computers harddrive where they say 500gb = 500,000MB)(but it will probably maximum 998)Why? in the factory where these are made they cannot achieve 100% "capability" And where is the missing 300mb? its reserved for the ACTUAL Android system.In the task killers you can see that there are some apps running(samsung touchwiz,system-apps(not google) Which MAINTAIN the system ,and you can also see that the google apps and some other(fb,twitter etc which needs to check the intertnet to get notification etc are running too.Now to increase the ram you can install a custom rom/kernel to remove somethings(for e.g touchwiz) to get more RAM.

Now dont take these notes to serious I'm not working in these factories,places where they do this.But this is MY theory.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mohamedselim:
Tab2 should have 1 gb ram right

Galaxy s2 should also have 1 gb ram right

So why the hell when i install cm in both ram in s2 is 827 mb and in tab2 is 687 mb it is driving me mad !!!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] am05mhz:
I do realize 1GB is not 1024MB, but at least task manager should show something around 900MB like you said.

For the Touchwiz theory, I also think that it might be the culprit of the "used RAM", but i don't think it would be that much, but that's because I'm not including google apps on that. So i think your theory might be right.

Selim already answer the "missing RAM" part, it is the same amount on custom ROM, which means they DO reserved by android. And that leads to how much is the "used RAM" part, is it more "sensible" without the bloatware running around?

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heihei_ivan:
For most android devices, the true available RAM is always less than the stated figure, like GT2 has only 687MB, HTC One X has 976MB even both devices has 1GB RAM

Those missing RAM are not stolen, instead they are reserved by the kernel for hardware of the devices. Don't blame anyone for this, this is crucial.

That is an interesting concept of memory management.

FYI, I'm not freaked out, just wondering where the memory goes, is it effectively used or eaten by some "rouge" apps.

Thanks anyway :D
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabripranzo:
However my Galaxy Tab plus with ics had about 800 mb ram in the task manager. Now (yes, my gtab plus has been stolen... grr) I have the tab 2 and I see only 687. Really strange, don't you think?

RAM HELP

can someone who has well experienced with different ROMS for tab2 7.0(p3100) help me??

i originally had ICS 4.0.4 which displayed around 680 MB ram, then upgraded it to 4.1.2 jelly bean which displayed me 770 MB RAM.

i though as custom ROMS have seldom bloatwares, atleast they should display more memory, but to my surprise i found 691 MB RAM on the latest nightly build of Cyanogenmod 10.1(jelly bean 4.2). I ve not used the AOKP jelly bean ROM due to limited internet(downloading) at my place.

as i am having a LIMITED FREE INTERNET USAGE, i am not dowloading more ROMS until some one finally helps me with the fact that

"WHICH ROM DISPLAYS MORE MEMORY FOR TAB 2 P3100??????" so that i can download it the next month or via some other network
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JeramyEggs:
I don't think you for it, the missing ram is the system. The tab has 1 gig to start, but whennyou fire it up, the system has to use resources. The same way a computer says it has 2 gigs, but if you check, it is lower. The reason this changes from rom to rom is because each system has its own ram management. Does this help?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProudGrognard:
Good morning or evening to all,

this is my first post on the forum, so please by patient. I am new to the world of custom ROMs and I tried to educate myself by reading the noob guides. However, my questions become more and more widespread, and I am not sure where to try to find the answers.

To be clear: I am NOT asking about 'what ROM is best' and such. I would like to know more about the following:

1) There are CM7 ROMs (Netrino for example), CM9 and CM10 ROMs. As I understand it, because there have been stock files from MOTO, CM& ROMs can have stable kernels, hardware acceleration etc etc. However, if there is no hardware acceleration, how can CM9 ROMs be smoother?

2) In the same vain, how can CM9 and 10 ROMs have kernels? Where they written from scratch? And how can they be faster than stock?

3) Due to my SOD problems, I flashed several ROMs and currently have a CM9 one, which is stable so far. If I go back to a CM7 one, such as Netrino 2.9, what differences would I see? Will the latter be faster or more efficient? Smoother? Or should I just leave it alone, since it works?

4) And to reverse the question, how can a CM10 ROM be smoother, if it does not have hardware acceleration and drivers?

I am sorry about the bombardment. I do not want to waste anybody's time, but some pointers would be helpful. Thanks in advance!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peddarson:
to give you a shorter answer for better understanding:the stock roms are mostly based on android 2.3.6 which is the newest firmware.the roms only differ from the regions and mostly have battery tweaks or connection tweaks etc...

lets go to cm 9 and 10.cm9 is basically android4.0 and cm10 android 4.1.these are faster because they do not have many unnecessary apps like stock roms do.

i hope this explains a bit...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProudGrognard:
Thanks for the answer, peddarson.

Can it be that the only difference between roms is the absence of apps? Then, netrino should be the fastest of them all. And where does the absence of hardware acceleration and drivers factor in?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nh777:
A few of your questions could be easily answered just by flashing the roms and seeing for yourself. Or Googling.

For example, you keep asking about hardware acceleration without knowing what it does or what it means. If you did, you'd know it plays a much bigger role with how apps function than the UI. The "smoothness" described in CM10 is with the UI and not the apps themselves (hint), while certain programs like the camera app, Chrome, etc. have a tendency to be unstable (hint.) You might be able to piece together that the UI isn't as ha-dependent as you thought. Maybe the visual experience has more to do with the actual software than hardware.

The answer to a few other of your questions is that these ROMs play off an original source and then tweaked to be optimized to the author's liking. Kernels can be overclocked, memory management can be altered, etc. If you want to know specifics, look into what each specific ROM does. It's right there in black and white.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProudGrognard:
The thing is that, as I said, I do not want to flash the ROMs (again) and see. I am not interested in learning the specific merits or disadvantages of each. I just want some pointers on what hardware acceleration does, how it synergizes with the UI, how different ROMs come about with or withoit drivers etc. And because I don't know, I ask (hint). Your post, for example, clarified some of these things, sarcasm aside. It would clarify even more if you could provide some links for me to pursue.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nw21st:
Haha. Welcome to XDA. People are quite unforgiving and harsh with noobs, I appologize on their behalf. I am still pretty new myself but for the past 4 months, I have read and learned quite a lot and have flashed many roms.

My first love was actually neutrino. I always seem to crawl back to neutrino rom because it is ridiculously smooth and stable for me. I've seen many people have issues here and there but I really have no complaints about neutrino. I have tried CNA, which is a port by Bill based off of CM10. I was quite impressed with how nicely it ran. The battery life wasn't as good as I'd like and I require a camera so I flashed back to neutrino.

There are two new cm7 based roms that have surfaced recently, Atrix MRom and TopSmarts. I tried MRom and it is quite a nice rom. I wasn't a fan of the Holo Launcher that it uses so now I'm on TopSmarts. This rom has been great for me. Like I said, I always end up back with neutrino but this is quite the contender. It's pretty new and only the first version so it will most likely be updated often.

I'd give a couple cm7 roms a go, if I were you. Just make sure you make a Nandroid backup of your current rom so you can always restore. I feel that Cm7 roms have much better battery life and tend to be more stable. The only issue I have with cm7 is there's no webtop option. Other than that, I couldn't be happier with TopSmarts or Neutrino. Both of the devs are also really friendly and quite helpful.

Hope this helps. If you have any questions, you're welcome to PM me.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nh777:
Wait, what? Then what's this?

"If I go back to a CM7 one, such as Netrino 2.9, what differences would I see? Will the latter be faster or more efficient? Smoother?"

Come on, guy.

Google hardware acceleration and you might find out that, like I suggested with my previous post, it doesn't necessarily have to do with the UI. Sorry, but I'm not spoon-feeding you links that you could have found in less time than making this post.

I've already explained the different ROMs are based on current software and then ported/tweaked. If you looked at the bugs with each ROM, you'd figure out the holes that drivers would fix.

nw21st (Alphabet district, amirite?) had a great suggestion which was that cm7 roms were easily the most stable. Why? Atrix has drivers up to 2.3.6 so nothing's missing. If you're wondering what differences you'll see in cm7 vs cm9 then you aren't using your phone enough, eg, camcorder. That's fine. Loads of people are on cm9/10 and accept the bugs and limitations. But hands down, cm7 ROMs will remain the most stable.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slymayer:
1) Optimization, mainly

2) Motorola released the sources of each Atrix kernel (International, EMEA, ATT etc...). Devs can use it to make tweaked, optimized versions

3) By flashing a CM7, you will go back on Gingerbread (GB). CM9 = ICS and CM10 = Jelly Bean (JB). The main differences you can see are the different interfaces (GB looks ugly to me now...) and some apps like Chrome are missing on GB. Also CM7 is super stable, if you want a stable and customizable ROM then you should try it.

4) CM10 had a lot of optimizations all based around apps preloading/compiling (To be verified), also the animations were changed to make it look smoother. Stuffs like scrolling, animations are smoother on ICS/JB than GB because of optimizations too. If you flash CM7 you'd have the same kind of "smooth feeling" because of a high framerate but the apps won't load as fast as with CM9/10.

Personally I use CM10 even if it's not well supported (Not as well as GB) but ICS/JB is coming soon so I'm trying to get used to it for when it officially comes. I consider GB as a legacy OS, there won't be anything really new/innovative on it since Google doesn't develop any new app on it.

•Do a Nandroid Backup to make full backup of your currently installed firmware

•Choose "Wipe Data/Factory Reset" and choose "Yes" to do a full wipe

•Choose "Install ZIP from SD-card/External SD-card"

•Choose ZIP file of STAXXTANIUM Jellybean ROM you've just put on SD-card

•Choose "Yes" to flash the ZIP

•Flash ZIP file with Google Apps in the same way (you must do it after flashing every new version of STAXXTANIUM)
