[Nexus 7 General] azoller1:
Some of probably already had this idea but here it is anyways........

1.Get native ubuntu on your nexus 7 from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Nexus7/Installation

2.After that get wine application from ubuntu software center or here http://www.winehq.org/download/ubuntu

3.After you have wine installed get bluestacks from here http://bluestacks.com/ (PLEASE TEST THIS!!!!!)

4.There you go you now can run some android apps while having ubuntu!!!

Won't work.

Wine isn't an emulator, so it won't run x86 Windows software on ARM

This would be so slow it would be unusable, also this isn't how wine runs.

[HTC Amaze 4G] riprowan:
If you have an Amaze then you know that the secret to long battery life is minimizing screen brightness. Problem is the default auto-brightness levels are brighter than needed and there is no way to adjust.

I recently installed Lux which allows you to customize the auto brightness curve. This should theoretically extend battery life. I'll report what I find here on this thread.

Meanwhile one thing I noticed.... In Lux you can monitor the level reported by the phones built in light sensor. On my Amaze I get really strange readings. There are four levels: 90, 320, 640, 11000. Really? With careful shading of the sensor I was able to get a reading of 2400 once. 11000 was reported even in shade on a cloudy day.

But it seems like the sensor doesn't read light levels well at all. There isn't enough granularity and the calibration is way off.

Anyway if we can fix it or address it, that should make a real difference in the battery life of the device.

This one is pretty awesome.. "Display Brightness".. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rubberbigpepper.DisplayBrightness&hl=en

You can put a 'slider' anywhere you want and simply slide it up and down to change the brightness to the exact levels you want.

Works great an you can customize it quite a bit. :good:

It's shown in on the top in the screenshots at the link, but I always put it on the right hand side, a little higher than mid-way, and I make it translucent grey so you cant even really see it unless you're looking for it.

That's the free version, I have the Pro version and it's worth it. lol :)

Hey all, I am trying to figure out which firmware im supposed to use. The guide says to check kernel version, but mine doesn't really say anything remotly like what is listed, it says:

3.0.15-1068762dpi@DELL169#3 SMP PREEMPT Aug 29

It's 4.04 and baseband I9100XXLQ6

Hope someone can point me in the right direction.

Hi,

I've just followed steps to install "CyanogenMod 10" on my P7310 tablet and was wondering how long you usually have to wait on the first boot?

I've been 25 minutes so far, just wondering if there's an issue or not?

Thanks for any advice.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Sycobob:
First boot takes a while due to Android building the cache, but not 25 mins. Sound like your flash went awry. I had an issue with CM10 not getting passed the animation when I installed it the other day. A factory reset + cache + dalvik and reflash fixed my problem. It should take less than 5 minutes if it's working properly.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] GarpNL:
Had the same issue. Held he power button untill he tab restarted and it booted fine then.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] yoyurik:

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] jbinary:
Can't get CM working on my TF101. CM9 can't turn on both wi-fi and bluetooth, CM10 is never leave the boot animation screen. Each topic I can fing with google says that I need to do Factory reset, but I DO it, did it many times and nothing helps. Maybe there's something debug build where I can see what's going wrong?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] jbinary:
Fixed my problem. The problem was is in wipe actually, CWM Touch didn't wipe the data, formatting /data/ was too fast and it couldn't umount it. So I used CWM to wipe and CWM Touch to flash because CWM couldn't mount /sdcard/.

Where should I send bugreports? :)

CyanogenMod is...stuck?

First of all, that NOOB video! Wow! I think I'm in the right thread for help, and I'll try to be brief.

My husband recently Rooted his Galaxy Note II (US Cellular). Tonight he tried to put the CyanogenMod onto it...it has been loading now for a couple of hours, which I have read is a bad thing. It just stays on the screen, and the blue circle spins around. The power button won't do anything, nor will pulling the battery or sim card, as soon as you put them back in, the circle starts again.

Can someone please help a MAJOR NEWBIE to all things dealing with rooted phones to fix this disaster? The phone was too expensive to be a paperweight!

Thank you so much in advance!

[Android General] PaulMilbank:
I just wanted to have a rant about OEM kernels, I woke up this morning and felt like doing that, so here it is.

Why do OEM's do the absolute least they can with the kernel and then put out the device?

The process seems to me to be get base kernel, add specific drivers from hardware partners, add defconfig (sometimes) so it builds, fix the showstopper bugs (sometimes...), release.

I'm not a great kernel dev, all I do is build a base kernel from what the manufacturer provides or pull a working kernel from another dev, look for similar sources, pull fixes from those sources, add a couple of smart governors and suitable schedulers, then tune freq table, governors and ram management. Then I test it and test it and test it.

It is not that hard, but I generally end up with a really smooth and well performing phone compared to stock and so far I have always had better battery life too. No project butter, no rom and init.d tweaks, no massive scripts that have to run at startup. Also all my phones have been single core and with 512MB or less ram so far.

If I can do this with my limited knowledge of android and linux, why can an OEM not do this and release a device that performs really well instead of something that only is marginal? Why do we need to put up with crap OEM kernels and have android with a rep for being slow and a battery hog when it does not have to be that way? It doesn't have to be an infinitely tweaked kernel tuned for benchmarks, but adding a couple of basic things like governors etc works wonders.

I'm sure no OEM is ever going to read this, but come on OEMs, If you release a few really good well tuned devices, say 4 phones at the various price points, a 7 and a 10 inch tablet and then keep them up to date, customers will love you forever. Android will stop having a rep for being a slow battery hog. Everybody wins and customers are happy. Profit.

To the OP, I felt the same type of excitement when I saw it. I appreciate the time and effort put into this exploit and anyone who may have helped. It's even more exciting that theres awesome people who freely release these to the public so that awesome ROMS can be put on. I was so ticked off with my locked bootloader I almost switched it out for a motorola atrix HD. The first time I took it back was legit though, it had the muffled voice syndrome, and the phone was only 6 days old, the corp store tried to give me a refurbished phone! ... I refused it and got a new one, and that one had battery issues, had to take it back a second time but finally got it straight right on the day of the root exploit. At the end of the week if I got any spare change I am definitely going to donate for the hard work it took and the time and patience.

LOL, good quote find.

On one hand yes, I can understand why a company may lock down a bootloader and I am sure many companies going forward may get the same dangerous idea. Maybe its true intentions is to protect people from bricking the phone or wasting their time with claims etc .. but on the other hand imagine if you bought a computer and Dell or HP comes in and says, well we locked down the firmware we dont want you putting any other OS in there but microsoft. Also, on top of that we dont want you using any other video cards besides an ATI card .. to prevent you from this we locked down the firmware. It's poisonous to creativity.

I believe in open source and feel saddened when we get locked bootloaders. I love the Android OS, I feel it should be completely open without any company interferences so that many great devs can continue to create and modify the existing OS/ROMs. Its a two sided coin.

I really am loving XDA, so much useful info, so many things to learn.

If the rumors are true, I think every phone is going to get key lime pie. Why? It turns every device into an instantly update able nexus device thanks to the rumored "customization center". This would give everyone the same base rom which would be updateable by Google, and then different oems would then need to update their "tweaks" (eg. Touchwiz, sense, etc). I think if Google has their way, as many phones will get this as humanly possible, since it would make their lives much easier and would shift much of the power the manufacturers have back to Google.
