[AT&T LG Optimus G] JasonJoel:
On my other phones with jb I actually ended up turning Now off because it used too much battery. Pretty cool feature, but not worth 10-15% of my battery every day.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] iiDeadSeriousii:
I wouldn't be jealous. I gave Touchwiz an honest try and just don't like it. A lot of what Samsung does is kind of redundant to everything Android already does. I wouldn't even want to use JB on this phone. This UI 3.0 really doesn't offer ANYTHING unique besides Quickmemo, which is something that can just be added on to an AOSP build.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] bleached45:
While I can't say I disagree with what you say here about the UI... I would REALLY miss the dewdrop lockscreen on an AOSP build.

I really like AOSP, but I far from hate the latest Optimus UI... which I rarely say about manufacturer UIs.

To each their own though... I wonder how fast JB would be on this baby.

I'm assuming you wouldn't mind an AOSP JB build?

Where can i find the HTC weather live wallpaper? ( i dont have rooted my device)
[HTC One V] herthi:
Is there a weather live wallpaper?

Do you mean the HTC weather clock widget?
[HTC One V] Curiousn00b:
In some Sense 4 roms. I have it on my PC, ill zip it up when I get a chance.
[HTC One V] HTcOneV:
But im searching for the lwp
[HTC One V] Curiousn00b:
Here you go. These were on a rom I have on my SD card that I used not long ago. Tell me how it goes. Copy to System/app/ and set permissions. You can try installing normal.
[HTC One V] HTcOneV:
It says ; "application not installed" please tell me how i can fix this
[HTC One V] theiNDrAs:
what rom do you use..?
[HTC One V] Curiousn00b:
Push it to System/app and set permissions to 644.

His device is not rooted, he can't do that ;)

The apk need to be signed then only it can get installed like a user apk
[HTC One V] Demo3827:
Yes HTC has a Weather live wallpaper but it may wont work on stock sense 4A because is a lite version of sense 4 also you can't apply because on sense 4A you dont have live wallpaper picked app
[HTC One V] HTcOneV:
Sh*t so i can't install in any way the LWP?! (still don't wanna root my device)
[HTC One V] Demo3827:
It wont work because you are using stock Rom sense 4A ( sense lite) and the sense 4A is missing some apps one of them is livewallpaperpicke so is no way to get this app in you stock sense sorry you have to rooted and add this live wallpaper picker or use another sense rom with live wallpaper enable
[HTC One V] HTcOneV:
But i have some apps where i can select LWP's, that's not the problem
[HTC One V] ckpv5:
I signed the apk, you can install it like a normal apk; see whether your app can pick the LWP.
[HTC One V] Demo3827:
Some live wallpapers from Playstore they has a ShortCut but other as stock android live wallpapers and sense wont have nothing like that thats is why you can select even if you install it you can't select only if you use a other launcher
[HTC One V] Demo3827:
You need something like this for select live wallpapers
[HTC One V] ckpv5:
Just installed "live wallpaper picker" from Play Store, it can pick-up the LWPs; but not sure this is because of my custom rom allow this. Just give it a try whether it works for stock rom.
[HTC One V] HTcOneV:
No one :p
[HTC One V] ckpv5:
No one what :confused:

Have you try to install the apk that I posted ?
[HTC One V] HTcOneV:
Can't someone make a zip file of it?
[HTC One V] ckpv5:
Then how are you going to flash it when you are not rooted and no custom recovery ??

And MOD... please move this to Q&A section as this more like a Q&A case.
[HTC One V] Curiousn00b:
Loooool.

You can still ADB push files to System I believe, even when not rooted. You just can't remove it.

You signed it, hopefully that worked for him. :thumbup:

Ck, what Rom are you using.
[HTC One V] ckpv5:
ADB push an apk OK... ADB push a zip as he requested I doubt it will work.. ;)

I have two One V... one is running mySENSE, one is myONEv alternate with a test ROM

Sign-off now... bed times ;)
[HTC One V] HTcOneV:
Yes thanks for the apk! But it won't work :(
[HTC One V] ayyu3m:
Installs perfectly but since there is no LWP picker, it does not give me the option to pickup the LWP.

Tried on unrooted, unlocked DX
[HTC One V] ckpv5:
Download "live wallpaper picker" from Play Store and try it. Not sure whether it will work or not.
[HTC One V] HTcOneV:
Okay now i can select the lwp but it gives a black screen... What is the problem??
[HTC One V] mihirengg19:
the clouds stop moving frequently. have to lock and unlock to fix it and when trying to swipe across the screens it turns green...but not a big problem...
[HTC One V] Googleverse:
I have HTC One M8 and this says the same when I try to install this app.

I have just upgraded from the HTC One M7 and loved the live weather wallpaper, I have spent ages trying to get an apk for this.

Any suggestions?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi all

My Galaxy Nexus with CM10 a week ago has started to lag a little bit, and the situation was getting worse day by day...

wipe didn't solve anything

so I tried to run some benchmark in order to understand if it's an hardware problem

with androbench I noticed that the write values are ridiculous

what can I do before bring it back to the manufacter?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ph4zrd:
When did you buy your Galaxy Nexus?

Can you please post a screenshot of the following App: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1693704

Maybe you're affected by this bug:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39154
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mariosraptor:
Mine has similar results with androbench and is 2 weeks old. I have not deleted any big files also. The gotbrick app says that my emmc chip is unknown.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ph4zrd:
Is it a chip of type V3U00M?

You may try to remount /data and /cache (probably also /system) with the discard option and use dd/rm or Forever Gone to erase the empty blocks as suggested beginning at comment #25.

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39154#c25
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mariosraptor:
Yes, is V3U00M. I read the comments there. I will try forever gone. Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] monossidoz:
yes, V3U00M!

I'll try the solution with adb (remount, dd and rm) later.

Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mariosraptor:
I just finished the forever gone solution. Tbh it is now worst than before.

Androbench took ages to finish and half the results.

So, to summirize. We should not try any solutions like this or via adb or any other that will make the device perform more slowly.

We bought a phone and expect it to work. Google should step up and fix every possible bug out there and ofcourse not introduce new ones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ph4zrd:
Did you remount /data with -o discard before using Forever Gone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mariosraptor:
Nope. The app did not suggest that.

I will reflash the stock omage again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mariosraptor:
5.

Profit.

The only phones affected seem to be Galaxy Nexus GSM (i9250) models produced after September 2012.

For the V3U00M chip it seems to be essential to get TRIM/erase/discard commands or whatever for every single block deleted.

according though to this my phone is not affected. it has been produced 2012-07(july). should i still proceed?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tiny4579:
So I guess my sem32g on my toro should be OK. I get random lag and was wondering if that was it. Over 14 GB used but still about 12 GB free.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ph4zrd:
Seems like the date I posted is incorrect, sorry. Since your chip is not affected by the hard brick bug it should be safe to proceed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mariosraptor:
it's ok. ;)

i found my production date from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1519606

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ph4zrd:
Nearly all users which reported this problem until now had maguro phones with V3U00M chips, which does not necessarily mean that toro models didn't get problematic eMMC firmware.

You may try the discard mount option anyway.

---------- Post added at 09:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:26 PM ----------

The production date of your eMMC chip may be of interest.

Can you post the output of the following command:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tiny4579:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=35027577&postcount=41

Probably it's better if you check for other solutions at first, like looking for CPU-consuming processes or doing a complete wipe (including fastboot erase userdata or similar)...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] monossidoz:
Ok the problem seems partially solved, thank you very much!

The benchmark result is not great, but the phone it's finally usable.

Look at the attachment, Random write is still bad (I think) :(

But I repeat the phone it's going well.

My chip date ->

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mariosraptor:
my production is as the friends above from the output of the command 08/2012

when in smanager i select su, boot and then run i get this:

your random write performance is normal. I'm getting similar results.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krugdenis:
Thanks for guide, ph4zrd )

One question, I've used secretsaucescript from nexus 7 as template, is there any difference mounting "/data /data" and just "/data"?

I've used that:

#!/system/bin/sh

#re-mount /data and /cache with discard and (optionally) noauto_da_alloc

#(does give a slight performance increase, especially when working with

#databases..

mount -o remount,discard,noauto_da_alloc /data /data

mount -o remount,discard,noauto_da_alloc /cache /cache

And it also works )
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ph4zrd:
According to the manpage of mount

[B]remount[/B]
Attempt to remount an already-mounted filesystem. This is commonly used to change the mount flags for a filesystem, especially to make a readonly filesystem writable. It does not change device or mount point.

The remount functionality follows the standard way how the mount command works with options from fstab. It means the mount command doesn't read fstab (or mtab) only when a device and dir are fully specified.

[B]mount -o remount,rw /dev/foo /dir[/B]

After this call all old mount options are replaced and arbitrary stuff from fstab is ignored, except the loop= option which is internally generated and maintained by the mount command.

[B]mount -o remount,rw /dir[/B]

After this call mount reads fstab (or mtab) and merges these options with options from command line ( -o ).

this seems to be a wrong syntax as /data isn't a block device.

A quick test on my Linux box showed that when using this syntax, mount ignores some other mount options, probably behaving like the mount -o remount,rw /dev/foo /dir from the manpage.

I don't think that this would be better as some mount options which may be ignored could be needed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] csekeyg:
I have the very same problem, I can't seem to get it right.

On saturday, I tried it through adb shell, but couldnt gave it su rights), so I did it through a terminal, and put the script to init.d, It worked wonderfully but then I refreshed the CM nightly , which deleted the script and the phone came to a halt after 1 day. So much so that before a factory reset, I couldnt even make calls: the phone made the call, the screen remained turned off, but after on or two rings, it rebooted. I'm trying to do the same thing again, but this time it does not help, I have a 16gb maguro with about 4gb of free space.

Now, I think I will the only sane thing to do: I have an old GNex with a broken screen and a busted usb charging port, I think I will replace the innards of that with this new, but apperently rubbish one. I have the v300... chip in this new one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jar3112:
I think I have the slowdown problem,and my chip is of the type here mentioned,checked with the emmc bug app.

In order to apply this fix should I only create the script in init.d folder (and, I suppose, set its permissions to 777) or do I need to also run the lines in terminal?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pimmen:
Can i try this method with this chip, my phone is extremely laggy!

after i enter adb shell and type SU it returns to the # prompt and after "mount -o remount,discard /data" aswell but after the "dd if=/dev/zero of=/data/tmp.bin" command it just stops with the blinking _ and doesnt return to #, should i wait for it to do so or is something wrong?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cilraaz:
That command is writing a dummy file to the rest of your /data partition. It will take time for it to write the file and fill up /data. You should wait for it to complete (it can take a while). You'll know it's done because you'll receive a message about being out of space and you'll have your root prompt back. The next step (removing /data/tmp.bin) will reclaim the space taken up by the above command.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pimmen:
AAHH got that message twice, thought there was an error, so did it again, so just wait for it to say "no space left" and then execute the other line, and then make the script?

i wonder if it will work for me. is there a way to test it, and will i have to redo it when i change roms or something?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ph4zrd:
You CAN do it without filling the partition with zeros, but then the speedup will be not immediately.

You may also copy large files to the phone untill the phones memory is full and then delete them. (of course after configuring the init.d script and rebooting afterwards)

Right. Will add that to post #10 ;)

Yup. Phone speed is back to normal :D

You can test if the discard mount option is applied by entering mount in Terminal or adb shell and checking if its under the options for /userdata...

You may try although it's unlikely to be successful. Have you tried factory reset berfore?

You have to wait until it says "no space left on device ..." or similar. Can take up to 3 hours and more.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pimmen:
I'm not sure it works for me, I have done the steps right and got the "low memory" message and everything but it's already slowing down again, is the script part looking alright?

I have one copy of the script in the "stock" script manager folder and one copy in the init.d folder.

Hi everybody, I had this problem and tried the solution. Here is my feedback.

My chip is the 10/2012 version, and for me the shell commands didn't do the job. After an eight hours odyssey I finally made it, trying EVERYTHING: In the end I had to reflash a stock Google image and reflash the ROM from the start (Cm10).

I did a backup of my apps and sdcard with the toolkit and restored after flashing and everything went fine. Now I put the script in init.d folder and I hope It does the job.

Thank you all..

How is it possible that random write to be faster than sequential read?

Something must be fake with the kernel or it is not writing at all.

You need to make a script and put it in init.d folder with the 755 permissions ;)

For stock you need a custom kernel with init.d support.

Your write speeds aren't realistic as you're using a kernel with FSYNC off.

The free space doesn't really matter for this performance degradation to appear if you're not using the discard option and write/delete some huge files... So you may run into problems in the future.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] corwin42:
Hello,

my device is also affected by this bug.

If I understand correctly the slowdown happens when the internal storage gets filled up and when there is less than 3GB free space.

If I use the workaround with the discard option will I be able to fill up the internal storage without slowing down the device or should I always keep 3-4 GB free space?

Right now I have 2.7 and everything is alright.. I suppose it won't slow down again, it would have done it already

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] temporaryone:
Thanks for the guide! I have the exact issue with the V3U00M 9/2012 chip. Phone was glitching and mega slow (and for the people saying , "oh its just something to get used to", I'm talking about it taking *minutes* to open google now, open a keyboard for an sms, and waiting 10-20 seconds for every key press. "poor performance" doesnt really define just how bad it is... we're not talking 5or10%... more like 10,000%)

I know just enough to get myself into trouble at the linux prompt, but thought it might be nice to add to your instuctions _how_ to get an adb shell. And if you've "got root" likely from the gnex toolkit, then you'll find it (on windows at least!) by opening a prompt at your "C:\Galaxy Nexus ToolKit" and running "adb-toolkit.exe shell". Once i worked that out, from there it went without a hitch. Took about 1.5 hrs for wiping 7gb of free space.

Still running smooth the day later- which is better than my last factory reset that lasted less than a few hours. Phone was in my pocket, went buzz.. and bam, back to unusable. So 24hrs is an improvement ! (edit to clarify- a factory reset without any mods did not work. I have followed all steps including the init.d script and it works fine, now...)

As a newb, it would be something that would be nice to find scripted (perhaps Gnex toolkit? if he's watching. hint hint)

Taken me 4 weeks of on and off searching to find this thread, so hope others find it faster than i did!!

Thanks again.

Kittens have survived.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jar3112:
You seem to have forgotten adding the init.d script!

Create a new file with root explorer with these lines in text:

#!/system/bin/sh

mount -o remount,discard /data

mount -o remount,discard /cache

Move this file in /system/etc/init.d folder (you will need to mount /system r/w, just push the button in the upper right corner) and long press it using root explorer. Select permissions and change them to rwxr-xr-x (first line all 3 ticked, other 2 lines 1st and 3rd ticked only).

This will prevent your phone from jerking around again.
