Actually it depends on ROM to ROM. On ROM's like MIUI I found putting on auto was actually less painful than changing brightness manually and it doesn't impact much on battery too.

On the other hand auto on CM10 means drain in 1.5 hrs or 2. :(

Hy! Can you tell me if the MIUI rom has wake by pressing volume rocker built in?

Also, which one is the more stable, MIUI or CM9? Or CM10? Or no ICS rom is as smooth as the GB ones?

Thanks!
[HTC Wildfire S] Savaria69:
Thx!
[HTC Wildfire S] sukhjit321:
I guess MIUI has that feature.

In MIUI or cm9, CM9 is more stable and smoother but MIUI doesn't loose by a lot. It's as good as cm9.

CM10 can be used as daily driver but the only thing that bugs me is the high battery drain.

You'd be surprised to notice CM9 is faster than GB. :eek:
[HTC Wildfire S] vasi.utziu:
Thank you very much!

I installed MIUI, its an AWSOME rom, but it has a nasty bug for what i seen. The light stops when i make a call, and it stays off even after i end that call. And some apps (like No frills CPU and others) crashes every time. Still, an incredible work...

So CM9 is more stable...but i can flash it as easily as i did with MIUI?

Also, wich one has the best battery life?

Thank you very much and sorry for my english (hitted thanks :p )
[HTC Wildfire S] sukhjit321:
That's because of proximity sensor. Go to dailer and then it's options. Find a setting called use proximity sensor and disable it. It will fix the problem.

For me both gave equal battery life although some people say that cm has better battery life.

You don't need no frills for MIUI as the Dev has done an awesome work customizing the rom for best performance so no need to over clock.

I posted somewhere in that thread how to solve the bugs related to root crash. Check them out.
[HTC Wildfire S] vasi.utziu:
Thanks again. Sadly, the screen keeps shut down (the light actually) from time to time.

Can you point me the latest(or the best) CM9 version here, as i found more than one?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] aaronhayes4:
Hello Everyone, I have a fairly simple question, I have done searching but have not found a sufficient answer to my question. It is possible I overlooked it so if so I apologize. I want to format my internal SD. I have never done it before and have a billion folders and what not and it bugs me to see them all. So I actually have two questions.

What folders do I NEED to keep on here

Best way to format

I am running Sky jellybean 4.1.2 and as for my recovery it is CWMR Touch v6.0.0.7 by sk8erwitskil
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] taranis17:
In my experience, I move all my pics and music to external, then backup my appa with Titanium Backup.

In TiBU, I have it configured to back up apps and app data to external as well.

Then when I wanna try a new ROM, I wipe everything, including internal, load the ROM and restore from TiBU.

Never an issue.

To more directly answer your question, much of your installed app data is there, and you'll likely hose them by clearing out the drive.

If its not causing a problem for you and you're not out of space, leave it be. Otherwise, do a backup, nandroid, and wipe it and see what happens. Format in Windows as a fat32 drive.

[HTC One V] woutervb:
This afternoon I flashed myOnev rc6.0 FX combined with the Hellboy kernel.

Initially this all seemed fine, could make calls, listen to FM radio and use the music player to drive my network connect and supported audio devices.

But this evening at around 20.00u (did not check for maybe 2 hours, last check +80% battery) the phone is completely unresponsive.

No response to the buttons, no response to connecting it to a charger, no response when connecting to a computer (not even a usb device is recognized).

It does not seem like a bad flash to me, but I have no idea what could be wrong, any suggestions are appreciated in helping me recover the phone.

The device is now connected for the last 15 min to a computer, but still no response, no led indicating charge in progress, no response to the power button.

Hope someone has a clue what this is.

Regards

sounds like you got bricked, it's a random brick, and no one's fault, it's not caused by rooting, i suggest you send it to the HTC repair centre... i know this 1st hand. by the way Questions go the Q&A thread in future ;)
[HTC One V] woutervb:
Questions will go to Q&A, next time, was a bit desperate ;)

To continue the story, after holding the powerbutton for 5 minutes or so, the phone became alive again, wit a 70% battery charge.

Only thing left is finding a working fm radio app

[HTC EVO 3D] dfeldt91:
I'm in the process of brainstorming and gathering people to build a Cydia style ROM modding app and would like everyone's input on what you would like to see in the app.

I'm going the repository route where all modifications for a specific ROM will be in one repository so you can access only packages, files, apps, etc for the ROM you are running. There will also be wallpaper, apps, font, widget, etc repositories so you can get the content you want when you want it.

As I see it, developers could put only the specific files that will be updated each ROM version in a downloadable package so you can flash say a ten megabyte file instead of going the route of downloading an entire ROM to update a small amount of the whole file system.

I figure it'll start with just the evo 3d then other people from other phones can make and add their repositories for their devices and it'll end up having all android devices with active development.

So please, give me your ideas and let's make this work.

Also if you are interested in helping to develop this app let me know.
[HTC EVO 3D] Mazda:
I'm personally against his idea because I think there's plenty of alternatives to this idea that do what Cydia does and they do it better in my personal opinion....BUT if it does leave the drawing board and becomes a reality, I'll give it a shot just because :)

Also just to help you out because I see you're lacking information on what exactly Cydia is and all, I've provided a few links and videos so people can see what this Cydia thing really is.....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cydia

[YOUTUBE]BDwvSb9nzQY[/YOUTUBE] [YOUTUBE]SazxaH-zvWA[/YOUTUBE]
[HTC EVO 3D] dfeldt91:
I am aware of what Cydia is. It is an iOS program basically that has repositories for apps, tools, modifications, etc. I've used it before when i had an itouch. What are the alternatives you know of? I'd like to take a look. And you're speaking of android alternatives correct?
[HTC EVO 3D] Mazda:
HAHAHA I know you're aware BUT since you're asking for help for the development of the app, I figured I let people that are completely unaware of what Cydia is, know what it does and what exactly you're trying to bait them into helping :)

BUT like I said, I'm against the idea and to be honest....I highly doubt this will take off considering the reason the iPhone or iPod Touch or whatever, has the Cydia store is because you'e not able to flash zips and flash different types of ROMs like AOKP, CM, Codename Android, Paranoidandroid, etc....

On Android, you don't have to depend on a store like app to download simple things like center clock or clock widgets or features that are sometimes already included in ROMs.

Please don't take this as a bashing post or whatever because as you can see above, I'm trying to be as helpful as possible BUT your idea on Android doesn't apply.....it really doesn't :)
[HTC EVO 3D] dfeldt91:
Not sure how it doesn't apply.....

It would be an app like cydia where you can go to download fonts, wallpapers, modifications, apps, ROM updates...

How does that not apply?

And like you said.......'sometimes already included in Roms'. What about when it isn't and you would like something? Or for people who need certain parts of Gapps. For example they want the Play store but not the rest of the 88 or so MB of random apps. It really makes sense to have each app downloadable via a repository to avoid having a bunch of apps you never will use or having to go back in after installing Gapps and deleting a lot of it just to get the play store....
[HTC EVO 3D] dfeldt91:
P.s. What are the cydia alternatives you spoke of? I'd like to check them out.
[HTC EVO 3D] iDannyPR:
Let me think:

If you want apps: look for it on the play store

If you want wallpapers: you can try zedge or flickies.

If you want to download ROM's: GooManager or the xda apps.

If you want fonts: look for a apk in the play store

If you want a single app from the gapps: look for it on the browser or xda app

...Just saying

Maybe you can develop the "cydia app" and post it here :D

[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
That's the thing about Android. It doesn't lock you into one way of doing things.

MIUI and other AOSP ROM versions use themes and HTC Sense uses skins so depending on what ROM you have installed the approach to customization is different. HTC has their hub to get wallpapers and skins, while themes can be downloaded from many websites including XDA. The type of customization you are describing, including deciding which programs will be installed, can be done during installation of the ROM using the Aroma installer (SOS M and Viper3D are good examples). Some ROM's have their own customization apps like Venom Tweaks and Hub for the Viper3D ROM.

Apps like Mimimalistic Text and Desktop VisualizeR can really personalize icons and home sceens, but that's not something that could easily be configured in an external app.

Yes, it's more complicated in Android than iOS, but also much more flexible, and most of us prefer it that way. If you want something simple to customize programatically, stick with iOS, where Apple tightly controls the environment and options.

I like the idea of a "hackers" app store where all the unofficial apps could live. The problem is it could be used for malicious purposes. At least apps posted here are vetted by the community.

I know there is an updater app that Tommytomato (I think) made for Rom devs to use, but the few ROMs with the app don't seem to take advantage of it.

There are a few droids released this year with 2 gigs of RAM like the US/JP S3,optimus G,padfone 2 and google's own nexus 4.But is it really necessary ? or is it just for marketing like it is the case with 1080P(440ppi) screens ? As far as I know,you can open around 20 apps on an android phone with 1 gig of RAM.Who would open more than that ? I personally only run 6 apps max in the same time,opening more(like I actually need to) would just result in more battery drainage.Some people say that android apps will need more RAM in the next couple of years but I don't think this would be the case.Apps should be encoded well to actually become LIGHTER not HEAVIER.What do you guys think ?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] christoph411:
I agree that it would be great if apps started getting lighter. It's kinda irritating that Android as a whole kinda seems to be getting more boated lately too. Just because the technology and hardware exists (such as 2 gigs of ram or quad core cpus) is no excuse for bloated coding and programs IMO.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shawn:
Android is Linux based. Unlike a PC OS like windows, it uses as much RAM as it can. Its built that way. Example: Facebook, Twitter, browser, XDA app running. If you have say 200MB free, android will give more to the apps that are being used. So if browser is just sitting there idle, Facebook and Twitter which are realtime, would get more RAM for better performance. 2GB RAM would be so much better and honestly I would love to have more than that. Closer to 4GB just to have fun with. And maybe I'm crazy, but I just like the idea of it.

I still don't see why android would need more than 1GB of RAM in the coming years.If 2gb of RAM would be a necessity for the OS to run properly then I assume google would stop updating the nexus S[512MB RAM],galaxy nexus and nexus 7 [both 1GB RAM] a year from now.If apps would need them,then mid-range phones with 1GB RAM or less wouldn't operate properly.

Except that these apps don't actually need the RAM,lol.Maybe only the browser if you have 5+ tabs opened.

The question is simple, can the re-format option in Odin cause brick? Or what it does is simply wiping the patitions while flashing the firmware?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
I do not recommend to tick the format option in Odin.

There is always a potential risk of bricking in such actions ... so don't wipe, format or re-partition if it is not really needed.

And if you think it is really needed, then use the stock Android options (menu "Settings" > ...) or recovery mode, etc. first.
