download links are down

Can't seem to download Smoother Rom anymore. Can you upload it one more time or send me a dropbox link?
[G Tablet Android Development] Davy49:
Hello All,

Last night I was reading here in the forum's in a different section about a different launcher than came installed with the smoother bean rom. The launcher I'm referring to is 'Smart Launcher' , it look interesting..so I thought I'd try it out, I didn't like it at all and uninstalled it. Now I have an issue I'd like to correct, when I got rid of smart launcher..somehow it got rid of the wallpaper image that came when I installed smoother bean:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/80341164/Screenshot_2012-11-10-11-04-09.png , I feel sure the original image is still on my tablet somewhere, how can I get it back ?

Thanks,

David :confused:

The default wall is located in the framework res.apk. You can use ES file browser to archive the apk and look into the folders and find "default wallpaper". You should be able to open it from there and reset it.

I may have my first SOD. I was watching Netflix last night and fell asleep. The next morning the tablet wouldn't power on. Charged it during the day and came home still the same. I guess its time to join the club and make a dirty reset hole :D
[G Tablet Android Development] Davy49:
Dear nobe 1976,

First of all, thanks for replying back to me..as I've stated before, I'm still learning the android system. I already have ES file browser installed on my gtab. I performed a search for the file you mention (framework res.apk.) , I performed it in the following location: Local/sdcard/, I entered the file name exactly as you have it typed in your reply: (framework res.apk.), but the search failed to return any results. Could you be more specific..

PLEASE. :confused:

Thanks,

David

Update: Thanks to good ole google, I performed a search and found the framework-res.apk file . It's in Local/system/framework . When I long press the file icon, I'm given a lot of options, Open As-Extract To-View-Cut-Copy-Rename-Delete-Move to-Copy to-

Select All-Bookmark/Favorite-Hide-Compress (Encrypt)-Share-Properties . So how do I archive the file ?
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
Alright using ES File Browser 101... Class is in session.

ES File Browser is a unique browser which has the capabilities of being a safe file manager and a "ROOT" file browser when applying the "ROOT" option in the settings of ES Browser. You should do that first before messing around with anything that is within the System Folders on your Android device. Make sure not to check the Mount System as writable unless you are modifying files within the System that are safe or you have a backup just in case things go wrong.

To Open any type of zip, apk, jar or files such as in archive using ES browser all you have to do is simply tap on that file and ES will open it up in its original form Unmodified. You options are limited using this step, but you can at lease see whats inside without extracting or unzipping the content. Guide you way through any of the files until you see which one you what. If it is a image or png you can view them in ES Image which is just like in Gallery. You can set your wallpaper also through that option of ES Browser. Open the image up and press the menu soft key to select which options you would like to do with it.

Well its about time you hope on board the DRH Bus. :eek:
[G Tablet Android Development] Davy49:
Dear nobe 1976,

I'm beginning to wonder now if the 'default wallpaper' you mentioned got deleted somehow when I installed then un-install the smart launcher app. , is that possible ? Thanks again for trying to help me.

dock

Is the Malata zpad dock plug and play for this ROM? My dock was damaged by weight breaking loose and pulling ribbon cable from board. After inserting cable back in plug' it charges but no USB, lan or HDMI. Is this a dock problem (broken) or what (software)? I am running Smooth standard with latest updates.
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
No it is not possible. The image is within the framework.res.apk. You would have to delete the framework.res.apk in order to delete the default Wallpaper out of the system or delete it from within the .apk file. To save you the headach of finding it See Attachment at bottom.:highfive:

Sorry I wouldn't know anything about the Malata Zpad since I don't have one. I know our G Tablets share some of the same hardware and features, but that would be something you should ask in a different tread that is device specific.

Thanks, That's what I needed to know. Means my dock is probably toast. Yeah, this ROM is great. Fastest and smoothest I've run. I liked it enough to install on all three of my tablets.
[G Tablet Android Development] apacolypz:
Yeah my dock works splendid with Smoother Bean...no issues...even works well using Splashtop through dock to projector.. SWEET!

For the first time today I did some tinkering and was able to get a score of 6120 AnTuTu benchmark without the external 16micro installed. I went back and partitioned my drive to make sure it wasn't dirty flashed. Seems snappier and quick compared to previous installation! Aiming for greater results after some tweaks.

EDIT: I can't seem to get my gamepad up and running. Got 6502 for my score today with the micro sd installed.
[G Tablet Android Development] redeyedjedi:
Actually, I was talking to fosser a couple of days ago, when testing the 3.1, and he told me the malata zpad t2 IS an SMBA1002, it just has the four bga 128mb ram chips, where we have empty slots. Of course, like me he has never seen one. there are only minor differences, but the dock is 100 percent compatible.

Also, looked into the CNA, first build failed, and second, and third. its gonna be a long hard slog. The stock keyboard apparently has built in gestures now, except it wont compile!!! so, I went to a "prebuilt" setup for latinIME.apk (stock keyboard), and yet still there are issues with classes.dex.

So, I got mad, and tried to build the newest PA, which has android 4.2r1 and..... CANT BUILD the KEYBOARD....AGAIN!!

So, now I bit the bullet and did a "make clean" and went through the whole two hour build from scratch process, with the same issues....UURGH! Just callin it quits for a couple of days on this, need to think about it.

Do you happen to know if the CNA rom is "user" (odexed), or "userdebug" (de-odexed)??

The easy way to figure this out if you have it on your bionic is to look in /system/app and see if there are only APKs or are there also Odex files to go with them.
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
I will install it on one of my ROM slots and and let you know. I know it is a deodexed rom. I am trying also to configure my machine to compile some things. I believe after I get done with Black Jelly I am going to swap my HD out to Esata drive and reload 11.04 back on. I think my issue is with 12.04 since I only have a x86 machine.

Screen Wake

Quick question for everyone: If I leave the tab sit overnight, when I wake her up she is very slugish. I have to shut her down most of the time and reboot a clean process. Has anyone else noticed this? Its only after a prolonged sleep.

Thanks.
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
I swear I don't think I ever left it stay on overnight. Maybe have to try it. If someone could do a logcat on it I can see what might be the issue.

Great News people. Got over the Hump on Black Jellybean. There are still some PNG's to go through, but the HTML problem is solved.

1. What's the CPU frequency when you notice the sluggishness?

2. Do you have a /system/bin/tegrastats command on your ROM?
[G Tablet Android Development] redeyedjedi:
I think we do have this, but kernel only goes to 1200mhz. I think his issue may be due to having lp1 sleep, and not lp0. even though it is still sleep, there are a few processes still running......leaving the system warm but clogging it up for hours, so it takes a minute after waking up to clear it all out. Of course, I could be wrong.

edit: we don't have tegrastats :(

[G Tablet Android Development] Davy49:
Hello All,

I guess there must be an issue somewhere within my gtab, because so far..I've yet to find the 'default' wallpaper that I had when I first installed the smoother bean rom. I wish now that I'd never installed the smart launcher app. .

David
[G Tablet Android Development] jlh11364:
Please don't take this as a rude comment, but why don't you create your own wallpaper from a photo or download one off of the play store?

Everyone of my devices is not complete until I have a picture of a golf course as wallpaper.
[G Tablet Android Development] Davy49:
Dear jlh11364,

I certainly wouldn't consider that a 'rude' comment at all, with me though..I'm just trying to find out exactly what happened to the 'default' wallpaper. I would hate to have to re-flash the rom just to get the default image back.

David
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
Hay Dave go back to page 70 and you will see that I replied with a attachment of the Wallpaper.

This is what happens when you don't back track the entire tread. People fill it up and the reply that was meant for someone gets overlooked.
[G Tablet Android Development] Davy49:
Well ..like was pointed out in a previous post, all I had to do to get the default image back was simply click on the attachment of the image. I guess I was just having a brain dead moment..sorry. I'll be more attentive from now on.

Thanks,

David
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
No problem bro, We all have a deadhead moments now and then. :eek:
[G Tablet Android Development] Davy49:
Dear nobe1976,

I feel right @ home by you addressing me as 'bro', one of the department managers where I work calls me that :D I surely am SO thankful for this message board, and to ALL of the contributor's (like you) who make things better for all of us. I still think my biggest issue (besides having some brain dead moments along the way) is the fact that I've always been a ms windows user, and android is radically different. By the way..this morning when I was on my gtab, I once again went into the folder where I was instructed to go to obtain my default wallpaper..I never did find it. Of course thanks to you, that small problem has been corrected. Still, I'm puzzled as to why I can't seem to find it. I surely DON'T want to re-flash the rom if I don't have to. :confused: I hope EVERYONE has a WONDERFUL day/weekend.

David :)
[G Tablet Android Development] afitzroy:
I had the sluggishness after wake-up. After applying the new updates and telling the tablet to stop running background processes it stopped and my benchmark score was around 6200. Brought new life to the tablet.
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
The full guided way to view any default Wallpaper on Android.

Using ES file manger, and you don't have to have Root settings turned on, tap on the Favorites tab and select / to open root directories.

Select to this path /system/framework/. There you will find framework-res.apk. I was wrong with just tapping it to archive it. Go ahead and Long press it and select "View" in the Operations menu. Now from there tap on the res folder and you can find the default wallpaper in these 3 folders listed.

"drawable-nodpi", "drawable-sw600dp-nodpi", and "drawable-sw720dp-nodpi"

From there you can also tap on the default wallpaper and view it in ES Image Browser and set it back by pressing the menu soft key to bring up the options of that application.

I was once use to Windows and then I have found my new friend with Linux OS. I prefer it over Microsoft since for one thing I don't need to purchase a license key in order to use it. Also it is the best OS to use when working with Android since they are just about the same. That default Wallpaper if you look closely to it is actually a Wallpaper I pulled off of Gnome which is the Launcher that is mainly used with all Linux based systems. Gnome Rocks. :victory:
[G Tablet Android Development] Davy49:
Dear nobe1976,

I really feel like it's a privilege to be able to communicate with you..I surely wish I had your knowledge of the Linux os. But as you know, there's only one way to learn something..get in there and DO IT.

Thanks,

David :)

P.S. I just tried using ES File Explorer to view the files that you mentioned in your previous message, and sure enough..the default wallpaper is there. Now all I have to do is be careful not to do anything stupid so it won't get changed again.
[G Tablet Android Development] rajeevvp:
That was just an example output.

That's not how any of the sleep modes work. Even in LP1, the CPU and most(?) peripherals are shut down. The RAM is put into a low-power refresh-only state; and, only the required clock- and interrupt-related circuitry is kept active.

The result of all this is that the tablet uses only about 1/5th-1/10th of the usual power (I normally see a ~10% drop in battery RSOC every hour, and a 1.5% drop every hour when the tablet is sleeping--I used to see a 1% drop a year back.) when asleep.

So, no processes will run (since the CPU itself is shut down) while the tablet is sleeping. If you want some process to run while the tablet is in sleep mode (for example to handle alarms or calendar events), then the CPU has to be woken up first (to LP3 state).

Note that we're talking about real sleep states (LP1, LP0) here, and not something which looks like sleep (with the screen off, the wifi off, and the tablet using very little power--about 1 watt, typically) which can happen if some process takes a "wake lock" in Android (thus keeping the tablet in the normal LP3 state). An example of this is when using the default music player. It will continue playing even when everything looks turned off by sipping minimally on the juice.

To come back to the user's problem: I have a feeling that the root cause lies with the cpufreq driver (and/or related subsystems) in the .39 kernel--which is why I asked for the CPU frequency output after an extended sleep episode. (There are some frankly bizarre hacks in those kernel versions.) Ie. this is probably not a RAM issue like you seem to think it is.

See if the tegrastats from CM7.2 can be used.
[G Tablet Android Development] redeyedjedi:
Oh, ok. I was thinking that sleeping/waking from lp1 doesnt purge the RAM, but sleeping/waking from LP0 does. I guess i need to go back and do some more reading,

we have same problem with our devices

we add folio modules how compress and decompress sleep

but s possibility to redraw wifi chip at sleep or keyboard

folio sleep was redraw power key to arrow

at other device the sleep redraw wifi chip

i am testing paranoid now with differend key settings

and post the result

for suspend fix look folio cm10 thread
[G Tablet Android Development] rajeevvp:
Even in their lowest power state, LP0, ARM devices don't shutdown power to the RAM. Unlike Intel devices which write the RAM contents to a file or disk partition, then shutdown the device completely in their lowest power state which is called hibernate in Windows, or, suspend-to-disk in Linux. And, since the RAM contents have to be restored from disk when the system comes out of hibernate mode, resuming takes a lot longer than the other method of sleeping called suspend on Window or suspend-to-mem on Linux in which--like the LP0, LP1 or LP2 states on the ARM--RAM is always supplied with power. Resuming from suspend, like from LP[0-2], is near instantaneous--as you may have noticed.

Can you be clearer about this? I'm not certain that I understand what you've said: What's a folio module and what's sleep compression/decompression? And what have they got to do with the WiFi chip?

I agree, this is the fastest and smoothest rom to date. I have been experiencing some slow loading lately (been running the rom since it launched)of Opera and Dolphin. Not sure where the problem is. I do have have my minimum cpu set to 436, going to change that a see what happen (read somewhere on the web that it could lead to slow downs).. I do have System Tuner Pro but the only time I use is when some member that is more familiar with the inter-workings of android than I suggest some settings that work for them. Hint, Hint :) If slowering the cpu does not work I will just wipe and reflash.
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
Yeah I am trying to figure that slowness out after having this installed for a period of time. I think that it is more or less a memory issue and not a process issue. I think for some reason there is still information holding on in the VM and not flushing out after a reboot. Since it takes forever to take affect it is hard to trouble shoot after flashing and testing.

I booted into CWM and just did a wipe and rebooted and it seemed to improve a little. I have been playing with Boat Browser lately and it seems to be a little quicker, could me my imagination.
[G Tablet Android Development] jlh11364:
Just my addition to these comments: This is a great ROM. It is fast. however, if it has sat idle for a day or two in sleep mode, it is really slow. However, a reboot speeds it up immediately. I have min set at 436 and max at 1200.

Hope this helps.
[G Tablet Android Development] Davy49:
Hello All,

Just to add some comment's of my own, I too have found that having set my cpu setting's to min.436 & max.1200 have helped, also at least in my case, opening up the titanium backup app., and clicking on the 'cleanup dalvik cache' button seems to help tidy up the machine also.

David :)
[G Tablet Android Development] rajeevvp:
This is completely wrong.

VM mappings are created anew by the OS each time the system is restarted. So, since you create a new VM mapping on each reboot, you get the same amount of memory (and, at the same locations) every time. Ie., you won't see any reductions in RAM. That is the whole point of rebooting a system, right?

And, no OS will go rooting through RAM after a reboot incorporating random stuff from addresses that it didn't put stuff in deliberately (like the RAM console, for example).

Well, the good thing is it only takes about 20 seconds to power on, prolly be best to just turn it off when its not being used.
[G Tablet Android Development] rajeevvp:
You guys are giving me a lot of thanks for a very simple explanation. Any Operating Systems textbook will explain it better (in excruciating detail, in fact)--they usually have a couple of chapters solely devoted to VMs: theory, case-studies, algorithms, etc. But, you don't need to read a CS textbook to grasp the essential idea of a Virtual Memory.

Simply put: A VM is an abstraction (a large, secure, and contiguous set of memory addresses for each program) created (in RAM) by an OS, just like a filesystem is an abstraction (files and directories) created on a disk. And, just as a filesystem has to be formated before it can be used, so too RAM has to be formatted--by creating the VM mapping tables (which block of real memory stands in for which block of a program's virtual memory) in it--before it can be used. One major difference between the two is that since VMs are created in RAM, which is a volatile storage medium, RAM has to be "formatted" each time the system boots.

And we all know how difficult it is to completely unformat an accidentally formatted disk. Even to do it well you (or a program) needs prior knowledge, educated guesses and lots of luck. And even with all that complete recovery is unlikely except in the case of a lightly used filesystem. Usually, you'll end up with files with data missing, files with some other files's data inserted into the middle, missing files, directories, or files in the wrong directories, etc.

The problem is far worse for RAM given the vastly greater rate of data turnover in them. So, even if the contents of RAM did not disappear on each reboot, it would be madness for an OS to attempt something like an unformat operation on RAM as part of its normal duty.

Sound idea, but, it seems to me that there are 2 separate issues here which have gotten conflated. The first issue is system lag after an extended sleep. The other is system slowdowns after an extended period of use. These two seem distinctly different to me. They may, or may not, have the same cause.
