We should send these in to mytbusters so they can prove/disprove the facts. I personally use appkillers because the newer ones to make a difference on my underpowered P500. While these apps to start up, they consume less memory when started in the background and allows for faster start up once killed by the task manager.Android does have impressive memory management, but nothing is infallable.

Battery stats is just silly, if you keep charging till 90% then unplug, you can make it appear that your device can run for days on one charge, so that is very misleading.

Benchmarks are worth noting when it comes to gaming performance. On my device ICS definatly scores lower than gb, yet it runs smoother day to day. Playing games is tragic simply because the drivers are an issue on this device for ICS.

You dont need to clear the dalvik cache or normal cache to flash a kernel, the kernel modules are loaded at boot. The linux core behind android was designed this way. Clearing them when you flash to a different rom eg: AOKP to CM9 its a good idea to flash the cache since this could retain incompatible files between roms.

Myths arent annoying, people clinging to them for no reason is annoying.
[Android General] kyokeun1234:
I also had P500 and app killers did almost nothing at all... Maybe it's just me?

That's not what I've meant when I said about battery stat.. Some people's phone just doesn't simply charge all the way up to 100%. And others just tell them to clear battery stat, which does nothing...

Benchmarks ARE pointless in my opinion. I personally don't think that noting Benchmark scores are needed... Also they are not very accurate either. What I mean by that? Well, in real life (including gaming), even if you overclock, the performance isn't so huge. But in Benchmark scores, little overclock increases the score a lot.

I know myth itself isn't annoying, but people spread them. Like crazy. And that's what irks me :)

Yes. It didn't seem to help anything.
[HTC One X] Squirrels:
You said recovery is gone? Did you accidentally overwrite it with the boot.img? Try this with cwm 5.8.4.0.

fastboot flash recovery cwm5840.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot erase cache

Where cwm5840.img is the name of your ClockworkMod image and boot.img is the file you extracted from the rom u wish to install.

Pm me if u need additional help and I can tv in.
[HTC One X] bogfather:
You could try a ruu. download the right ruu for your phone on your pc, connect your phone in fastboot and lock your bootloader. Then double click the ruu on your pc.

Remember though the ruu needs to be the same cid as your hox is now and the same version or higher.

You will lose all data though using a ruu
[HTC One X] system6:
My wife told me she had a "One X"...I asked several times......It is a One S. If you load the wrong Boot.img and CWM it won't start....who woulda thought?!

I'm a dumbass. Squirrels helped me over TV and pointed that out. Thanks a million Squirrels!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gothaj:
Hello everyone

I am having a strange problem with my Motorola Fire XT311.

The device is new. The only things I installed are Skype, Whatsapp and IMO.

The phone works ok, but I am having a strange problem with the camera.

When the android starts, I can turn on the camera and it works. Three, four, five times.

Than I put the phone to standby mode, then make it active again and when I try to start the camera, the android crashes and turns off the phone.

It is not rare on the phone. Is it a bug in Adroid? or a problem with the phone?

I tried to remove the SD card, but it didn´t solve the problem.

Thank you for any suggestions.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drant22:
Before I get flamed, Yes I searched and installed around 10 apps with no lucky. I have a basic 8.0 Megapixel picture I took from my old Droid X2 that I want to put on my Gnex Wallpaper.

I want to be able to scroll my 5 screens to the image (not static wallpaper), without cropping and I am using Apex Launcher running CM10 Nightlies.

Does ANYONE have any luck doing what I want to do? At this point I dont care if I have to pay for an app or spend 10 minutes on Photoshop making the image able to be cropped correctly. All I am looking for is a solution and not a suggestion.

Thanks in advance!

How can have always on the backlight on soft keys?
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] TheMrBlue:
Update 1.1:

- The app now uses another API that seems to be working a lot better;

- The app uses Bing Maps to show the latitude and longitude of the server/router (IPLookUp will check whether you are in the United States or not, since the API always gives a dot to make decimals, and depending on your location Bing will want a comma;

- Icon added

--------------------

IPLookUp is a simple application that was developed to find the location (country and city) of any IP-address you can throw at it using an API.

This application is my first WP7 app developed in C#, using a tutorial from XDA, so it's very basic, but it does the job.

Please let me know what you think of the app and what features I should add to it!
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Budniu:
Nice, but app doesn't show location even the my current IP address (others too) - screen. In the marketplace is such an application, even showing the position on the map: IPChecker
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] TheMrBlue:
It's just a very basic application using a free and (as far as I've seen recently: not so good) API, so I'll be updating that.

About the fact the location isn't found: I suspect you weren't on a WiFi-network and just using cellular? For some reason that doesn't seem to work either.. Stupid free API's eh?!
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Budniu:
EDIT

Ok now I tried with "normal" IP adress and:

IPLookUp doesn't show:

The same IP adress and IPChecker - showed all informations:
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] TheMrBlue:
Huh.. That's VERY weird!

I'll find a decent API first thing in the morning, thanks for the discovery!
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] TheMrBlue:
Ok, I just found an API that seems to work a LOT better, I'll implement it tomorrow.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] TheMrBlue:
The new version is live now!
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Budniu:
Man, THX. Work good with map. (+) x 2 First post and UPD.

Thank you.

You could add option to show internet provider name.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] TheMrBlue:
Thank you so much! I'll try to find another API that can show the provider name as well.

If you have some more tips, don't mind sharing them! :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Chillin:
I purchased an unlock code for my I727R (Rogers version), but can't seem to enter it.

The instructions were given were:

Method 1. I only have Unactive SIMs from other carriers but when I enter them nothing happens. It does not prompt me for a code. Does it need to be an active SIM?

Method 2, 3, 4: Nothing happens at all. I enter those codes and the numbers just stay on my dialpad. If I hit the call button it says "Connection problem or invalid MMI code", but I don't beleive I am supposed to hit the call button.

A different website says:

but entering that code also does nothing at all. It does not tell me anything.

I am rooted running Cyanogen9 if that makes a difference...

Any help would be appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Mike:
I believe it needs to be an active sim. Just borrow one from a friend or family member.

Any idea why the other methods don't work? Or what I can try aside from getting another SIM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] gs2usr:
Flash a TW Rom then do the dial codes again. Dialer codes don't work on non TW roms.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Mike:
I have never unlocked my phone. I don't know about the dialer codes. You could try going to a different carrier's store and just ask for them to throw in an active sim. (Its a pain, but you need to pull up the input screen). Maybe someone else can better help you with this, but my knowledge is limited when it comes to unlocking

3 thanks in this thread alone (not counting the sarcastic one to you) so obviously you are mistaken about my "thanks".

Going on this thread alone it is pretty obvious which of us is the unthankful, unhelpful one.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Chillin:
My comment about this thread and who is helpful stands.

There is a way to share info that helps everyone.

ie, This should have been posted in the Q&A section.

And there is a way to do it that makes you come across as a complete douche.

ie, "Reported".
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Illnevertell:
I am a douche and I own up to it but if I give reasons most of you noobs get uppity and defensive so I say reported you got a problem with it oh well
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Chillin:
Well there is 2 easy solutions to that problem:

1. Ignore people getting "uppity" when you are just being helpful.

2. Report the post but don't bother to post anything in the thread.

So you can choose to just keep the forums organized (option 2) or keep the forums organized AND be helpful at the same time (Option 1), but neither one requires you to be rude about it.

So I looked around and didnt find anything specific to the lte, My gps will tell google maps my exact location up to 3 meters but weather, and a few other apps that use location services report that Im in Calvert, Tx which to my amazement looks just like downtown Houston. Anyway Ive toggled gps, stopped and restarted location services, cleared cache from the apps and yet it still shows Calvert, any ideas?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Beezer80:
Give Skype a try. Tango video was always choppy at best for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubomime:
Why are you uninstalling and reinstalling if the problem seems to be on their end? You say everything works fine for you so maybe it's their phone. Like, maybe they don't have their speaker on.

Really, you need to contact the dev by email from the Play store and be sure to tell him what kind of phone you have, what kind the other person has, etc.

If I unrar the apk out of two diff ROMs, take some lockscreen images out and replace the images from another framework-res.apk, do I just need to re-rar/zip it, rename to .apk and then overwrite it using root explorer and then change permissions?

Or do I have to rezip and then flash whole ROM?

Thx in advance.
[HTC EVO 3D] Astrikz:
Its not that easy of a process..

You'll need to learn how to use APK Multi-Tool
[HTC EVO 3D] 1iwilly:
the lockring images are not in the framework.apk they are the ones when you open the rom then system then app they are call=Idlescreen_Base.apk idlescreen_photo.apk idlescreen_shortcut.apk IdleScreen_Stock.apk IdleScreen_Weather.apk

i just change it on zr3d from meanromics cause i didn't like the one in zr3d hope this helps
[HTC EVO 3D] chucktownscitch:
The ones I found are in the framework res apk. I want the ones from Mazda's jb aokp which were in drawable-xhdpi to replace agrabrens cm10 1.6 which were in drawable-hdpi. I have both folders pulled up and see each roms lockscreen weather icons? Sure that isn't what I'm after?
[HTC EVO 3D] Papa Smurf151:
If ur just replacing images...take both the Res folders out of the apk. Meaning using 7zip or winrar to open each apk up. Drag and drop each Res folder to ur desktop. Open each folder up. Drag and drop images from one to the other. Then once done drag and drop the correct Res folder back to the framework.apk that u want to use. Once done u can replace via root explorer and fix permissions and reboot phone

No need for to use apk multi tool unless ur decompiling and playing with XML files or actually editing .9 files. Tbh its an overkill to use it for anything less.

[HTC EVO 3D] chucktownscitch:
Thanks, thanks pretty much what I was figuring, just wanted some conformation.

Got them switched out and working. At first I just pasted it not thinking and didn't have the correct permissions set and put myself in a boot loop..:banghead: heh

So I just flashed ROM over itself and set correct permissions before swapping it out again. Rebooted fine and have new imgs. Thx smurf!
[HTC EVO 3D] chucktownscitch:
Much better. Others were a touch too basic for my liking.
[HTC EVO 3D] lorjay589:
or you can use this which is less of a hassle and it something i made. But if you use this when you recompile the image size will also comepress.

Ive been looking for either a factory rom or something very basic and lightweight for my omnia 7

Currently I have the Tango V4 installed (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1571068) and my whatsapp will crash after about an hours worth of talking and i need to reboot the phone (ive reinstalled it)

Why don't you try mi7ROM NOKIA edition, by Miro? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1782388

It works great, you can try no-skin version if you like the default look, and can also download Nokia apps with no hassle whatsoever. There are some preinstalled apps, but you can hardly call them "bloatware", just some tiny applications that you could uninstall if you really don't need them. I couldn't think of any reason to get back to stock ROM after I've seen this nicely cooked ROM in action...
[Omnia 7 General] unbenannt:
i had the problem with whatsapp crashing, too. very annoying indeed. but it is not your ROM s fault, its an app-error i believe (the latest whatsapp update). what i did was to uninstall whatsapp and sideload any older version and the problem was gone. if you want i can send you an older version (1.8) of whatsapp which works without any problems.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebobp:
I'm using sipdroid with pbxes.org as a voip solution. But sipdroid doesn't give easy access to your contacts. (I'm aware that groove ip and talkatone give access to contacts, but I don't think they can be setup the same way)

Normally the way around this is to call (using sipdroid) from via the Phone app. But the phone app I flashed doesn't seem to want to appear. If anyone has one that does, that would be great.

The contacts app does appear, but when I select to call via sipdroid, it seems to fail and only gives you options for other apps. Someone else had a solution for this, but on a different tablet. I was wondering if anyone managed to get this or anything similar working on the Nexus 7.

First off thank you!!! Everything seems to be functioning great!!! Htc update through Zune seems to have installed the newest radio, 1.53.00.06.14_23.17w.05.13U, and so far all seems well.Did have a heart stopping moment during second reboot of update when rebooted from HTC splash screen beforecompletely booting but fully booted the second time. If there is any info or testing needed let me know and thanks again!!!
[Trophy General] TheXev:
...EH?! You got Zune update to work?! [I so gotta test that]... (you should get your post count up to 10 so you can post in dev forums ^^;; I thought no one had tired the rom yet cause its a holiday weekend).

*edit* Huh, what do you know. All of my previous test failed so I gave up on it.. perhaps because the drivers are already mostly ported (meaning, the update processes doesn't have to install all of them, just "HTC_NKDrivers" and "OEM_8x50_NK_SPARK_W," its working fine now? I managed to make HTC_NKDrivers boot on my newest build, leaving only OEM_8x50_NK_SPARK_W unported from 8107 in my current release? Perhaps leaving it be for now is best, so the radio can be updated? All the really important drivers (especially the gfx drivers) where already ported in the beta 1a rom, so it isn't anything noticeable.

If I would have left those graphics drivers alone, everyone would have noticed them (cause the 8107 graphics and system XIP drivers make a huge difference in the smoothness of the experience).
[Trophy General] tonbonz:
What's this "holiday" you speak of? :silly: I've been waiting for this rom, GREAT WORK!!! Thought I seemed to be the first to test and when Zune updated I almost pm'd ya. Totally unexpected and I thought it was something to get excited about. Pain in the a** I couldn't reply in your original post but I'd like to think of myself as somewhat intelligent and well spoken and didn't wanna babble all over the forum just to up my count, which as of this reply, I think is up to 7. By the way, I had flashed back to nodo and updated through Zune but some of the Tango features, namely export to sim and static ip, seemed to be missing. So downgraded again and flashed ansar's Tango which I had used before and could never update through Zune or cab sender. However when checking for updates Zune now showed 2 HTC updates for ansar's rom whereas before I swear it was just 1. Still couldn't update but thought you might find it interesting???

Anyways, thanks again for your work and wish I had some funds for ya but ya always have a willing tester. Here's to XEVREV, xda and the freedom to do as we please with our devices...CHEERS!!!
