I've got Desire, tried this app on 5 different ROMs, from 2.x till 4.2, and I have not seen or felt any difference at all.

to be more specific scrolling speed was not improved, app loading was not improved, things like browsing internet, playing games .. also not improved at all.

the difference that I've noticed is that I got couple of random soft reboots when using it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lambgx02:
I'm still here!

I was in New York last week.. threw a big party for my gf's birthday Saturday.. work's been nuts.. and getting all my gear organized and packed for a hiking trip in Vegas next week. Trying to keep up. :p

I expect things to slow down once I get back from Vegas. I'll be working on a new file transfer app designed under "NTF" principles: Nothing To Fail. It's my pet peeve when software gives up inappropriately, so I want to start working on apps based primarily on these rules:

1. All failure modes are enumerated and presented to the user (ie. on installation),

2. All errors are fatal and actionable,

3. If no fatal error will occur, there are only two possible outcomes: success or user interruption.

Sounds obvious, right? And yet so much software fails silently, or gives up due to transient errors (which are common on mobile devices). Mobile software should never stop doing what the user asked, unless it is literally impossible for it to sanely recover (or some other user-set threshold has been met).

And all error messages should be useful, and actionable. Telling someone that a window failed to open is a waste of characters. Obviously the window failed to open. If it didn't fail, you would see the window! The user needs to know precisely why it failed, and (at least) the first error condition that has to be removed to allow success.

(excuse the rant ;))

Anyway, I'll be writing an FTP/SFTP transfer app that "never fails" except on well-defined conditions (file removed on source/target, permission denied, etc), with a proper service and ongoing notification area that shows exactly what's happening at all times. Transfers will survive reboots, network changes/instability, service termination, etc. I plan to use native code to keep the transfers fast (ie. full line rate on wifi).

Of course I'll continue to work on Seeder as well.

Upgraded to the s3 last summer n have left it stock but once I got the nexus 10 I could no longer hold out from hooking it up the way I know its capable of. I'll be sure to favorite this thread, as this is definitely some amazing stuff. Thanks again guys for all u do!!:cool:

For some reason when I update CM10.1 on my GSM Galaxy Nexus I do not have have to turn this on again but when I update my Nexus 7 I have to turn this back on. Just wondering why that might be.

Uh,

Can you please state which phone you have, which ROM you're running, as well as which Android version it is, if you're rooted or just unlocked, or anything else that is remotely useful? Saying 'I am getting (an) error' doesn't help anyone. It's like going into an auto repair shop and saying 'omg!! Help! My car is broken, fix it!' .. how can they assist in finding a fix/solution without knowing all the detail(s)?

And yes, I realize your signature states which phone you have, but I don't know that model, and would appreciate if you could please tell me what it is.

Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] arjiegodz:
so whats the effect of having a low entropy bro?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MBQ_:
Essentially, lag.

(You want it to be at 4096)

Suggestion on how to fix your problem:

Turn the Seeder off, restart your phone, and then turn it back on after you reboot. Make sure it's at 4096. If it isn't, try clearing the apps data and re-running it. That should fix it.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Milamber33:
So let me get this straight. You installed Seeder, and it was running fine. Then you flashed a mod which makes some quite extensive changes to random number generation and access. Then you tried removing it and going back to Seeder by restoring a nandroid backup and it's not working. Is that correct?

My bet is there's one or more init.d scripts from the mod still floating around causing you problems. Aside from that all you can do is reflash your ROM and kernel and hope that fixes it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mw86:
If it was crossbreeder there is an uninstall zip that will take out all its files

Or go to /system/xbin delete haveged file process and system/etc/CrossBreeder/ folder and reboot...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] shinesthru:
Nope, I didn't install crossbreeder. There was another user who did that, not me though. I did delete Seeder, reflashed ROM, kernel cleaner, kernel, and reinstalled Seeder, though, for good measure. Still fails to start process. I'm using the latest kt747 kernel, on unofficial AOKP JB 4.2.1. Oh, and I tried reverting to a previous kernel without frandom enabled.

Seeder with cm10.1 for the HTC sensation causes soft random reboots.

Normally once per day.

No idea of the cause just a wee heads up if your experiencing crashes with that rom try disabling seeder first.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] viscmad:
It doesn't really working that way for me. I place my finger any where on the screen the "avail entropy" starts to increase and it really doesn't correspond with any of the slider. It just keeps increasing even if i move the same slider left to right. :what::confused:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] erto90:
Got 2 questions:

1) is normal that when i open seeder,it always shows 4096 as available entropy?

2) when the service is active?? When the button say activate with green light or when it say disable with no green light?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MBQ_:
1. Yes

2. It runs in the background, just make sure it says 'on' in the app.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] casouzaj:
Yes, but it could be a false positive. Paying attention to the entropy level as well doesn't hurt. In my case, sometimes the button is shown as blue (i.e. Seeder is, in theory, turned on), but the entropy level is pretty low. Whenever I notice such an odd behavior, I press the button, and the level goes up to 4096 again.

Just my 2 cents...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] erto90:
R: [APK] Seeder 2.0.0 entropy generator to provide significant lag reduction

Mine is always at 4096 when i open the app..otherwise if i press button, it goes to 200-300..
