Excellent news.

Thank you for summing it up!

It seems like a lot of people on the net are in the dark on this, so I'm glad to hear it's because Android moves at a (sometimes overly) fast pace and not because of a complete lock-down of sorts. I'll check out that ROM.

Is 360's wired pad only usb-gamepad which work with N7?

I finally got otg-cable and tried my two Logitech pc-pad(digital, and another with PS3-style sticks) but neither

one work in games. I can move in homescreen, but in games only "move"-work(digital/stick), but none of the

buttons work, they just doesn't do anything.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] shinji257:
It is possible the games only detect the 360 controller. The only game I found that supported it natively was Sonic 4 Episode 2. I think it is the game that has to be able to detect/support it. I think there are some apps out there to assist with getting gamepads to work though.

i was thinking about the nyko game pad. ive seen some reviews of it . its pretty neat because it uses a bluetooth connection. im still not sure if nyko solves the riddle about this game pad stuff. can't help spending $30++ to bluetooth game pad that wont work as it was advertised..

Hey everyone, I have a couple of questions for you all today.

The first one is about my IMEI, when I dial for the IMEI it shows the IMEI with /2 at the end what does this mean? On the back of the phone it doesn't show the IMEI and in about phone->status it doesn't show the /2 either. So, what does it mean? And if it's bad how can I remove it if it's even possible.

My other question is about Texting/cell network. Basically what is happening in that, sometimes when I send texts, the recipient will receive it twice even though I only sent it once and sometimes I receive the text twice even though the person has only sent it once. Could this be related to the imei problem I previously stated?.

I don't have any extra SMS apps installed, although I did have handcent and GO SMS Pro before, (I set go sms as my default one but now I uninstalled it but I don't know how to make the stock app the default again).

Thanks for your time guys :D

Greeting's folks!

So you know what you are dealing with:

OS: Win 7 x64 or Win XP SP3

Device: Samsung YP-G1-CW8ARB ( US )

Firmware: 2.3.5

Kernal: 2.6.35.7-G1UEK18-CL562400

Build: GB-UEKI8

Experience : Flashed/Rooted Samsung SCH-R720 ( MetroPCS )

Background:

Using these forums I rooted/flashed a SCH-R720 that was given to me. so, with that under my belt I thought I'd pick up a YP-G1 and root/flash again, using these forums and well.... didn't turn out as well as the R720.

Bootloop from hell.

Tried all the method's listed here and no dice (Cept the one using Linux but not having it installed made it a tad hard ). But I still had the receipt so, brought it back and now have a new one in box.

Needed:

What I'm looking for is ( I know this is most likely outta order so bare with me )

1: as complete of a back up as one can get while UnRooted. files,partitions & such. with a way to restore said back up.

2: Root Kernel with CWM ( To replace the e3 recovery menu )

3: As complete of a back up I can get after all this is done ( want a before/after )

4: Any tips/tricks for this model.

5: Any info I may have missed.

Again... that list is likely out of order but I think you get the idea.

Step by step would be great!

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xWhiskey:
Hi,

So, I was wondering if anyone had any experiences with this governor on FroyoPro v2.5. Having experimented with basically everything there is on the phone, this is one of the last things I would like to try.

Currently I'm using 245MHz-600MHz ondemand governor, and was experimenting a bit with the performance one. I loved how performance worked, but I did notice some adverse effect on battery life (somewhat 30% lower), so I switched back.

What I would like to have is a somewhat snappier phone without sacrificing the battery too much. Performance governor, after all, took a too big of a chunk of the battery for me to handle.

What are your opinions/experiences with this governor? Also, is it v1 or v2 that is included in FroyoPro?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xWhiskey:
Well, I tried it today.

At times it worked okay, but most of the time there was lag.

AnTuTu score dropped a spectacular 1000 points.

Quadrant score dropped 100 points.

Naturally there is possibility that I perhaps did something wrong. However I followed the instructions correctly. Perhaps it would work better on some other device, but mine apparently doesn't like it.

Back to ondemand then :)

But the performance was horrible! Is there something else I should do besides insmod and echoing to activate it? Perhaps tweaking with its parameters a bit? Because ondemand currently appears to be a much better choice for my device.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fortun:
Try adding these settings in hw_config.sh:

echo 12000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/smartass/up_rate_us
echo 60000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/smartass/down_rate_us
echo 999999 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/smartass/ramp_up_step
echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/smartass/ramp_down_step

And just to be completely sure that everything is in place, the other required lines should look like these:

insmod /system/lib/modules/ax8_smartass.ko
echo "smartass" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor

sent from my phone using hands and brain...
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xWhiskey:
Tried both of your methods. It seems that with Fortun's parameter changes and by ramping up the minimum frequency a notch the governor was a bit more stable. However, there was still lag. Not constant, but in spikes. The battery might have been a bit more durable in this run, but not that much more durable taking into account the performance issues I've been having. You could see frequent spikes in games, while surfing the internet, sometimes even on the UI. IMHO the ondemand governor seems what works best for this device. I might give this governor a shot in the near future again, but for now he'll be asleep.

I'm not into kernels that much, since I cannot unlock the bootloader for free without risking a hardbrick, but might it be possible that stock kernels react badly to things like this? I mean, this governor doesn't work that well, the overclock module slows down the phone, minfree setting changes don't stick. Do you guys run stock or custom kernels?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dagger:
I use custom kernel...

Btw what's your phone's manufacturing date...

sent from my phone using hands and brain...
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xWhiskey:
11w39, and if I remember correctly, you can unlock safely only until 11w28. I would most certainly attempt to unlock the bootloader and flash a custom kernel if that wouldn't have been an issue. But it's no big deal. I'm liking the device so far. Much better than stock now.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xWhiskey:
Also, I have a question related to governors. When I reboot, and for example echo the ondemand governor to the scaling governor, do its parameters reset to default? Or do I have to echo the custom parameters for the governor at every boot?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fortun:
Are you completely sure that the lags dissapear when using ondemand as opposed to smartass? The X8 over here is running with the settings I suggested on stock kernel, it's heavily used for gaming and no problems with the performance.

By the way, the smartass governor from the module is different from the version found in the custom kernels. Then it should be treated differently.

As for your last question, I'm not sure I get it. Anyway, the values set in hw_config.sh are loaded each time the phone boots.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xWhiskey:
Absolutely. The problems disappeared just after I applied ondemand as the governor. I'm not sure which ROM are you running, but it seems to me most of these things don't quite work that well on mine. None of the modules I applied so far didn't work well.

I was referring to governor parameters. Sampling rate, down differential and the like. Do they return to their default states when the phone is rebooted (assuming I didn't echo anything to their parameters in hw_config)? If I was, for example, change their parameters while the phone is running, does that change stick permanently or does it reset at reboot? I'm asking this because I would try to experiment with SetCPU and parameter tweaks while the phone is running.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fortun:
Running a slightly modified version of the latest GingerDX right now. Could you post the name of the game that can replicate the lags?

And, yes. The parameters reset at each boot if not put directly in hw_config.sh (not the only where you can put them). And for good reason. If you configure it badly you could be put in a situation where you enter a bootloop (specially true when overclocking). Don't ever commit to some changes before testing stability.

By the way, SetCPU has an option to load settings at boot if those settings are set using the program. In other words, if you choose to set the settings using the echo parameter with the terminal, for instance; these settings will be reset next time you reboot the phone.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xWhiskey:
The launcher is ADW. I playtested the governor on Tilt Arena, Missile Defense, Racing Moto, Radio Ball 3D. At normal circumstances, RMoto lags here and there, but with smartass it was unplayable. Tilt Arena usually has a spike here and there, but also unplayable with smartass. RBall worked ok, but usually worked flawlessly. Missile Defense tends to slow down when the cpu stress is high, but smartass didn't do much to help.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fortun:
OK. Tried with Racing Moto and no problems with it. For the sake of completion I tried playing it with the CPU clock capped at 320 MHz and still no problems.

Something looks definitely wrong. Maybe you should try getting the smartass module from the original thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1159899 .

Maybe you could post the whole contents of you hw_config.sh to take a look at it.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xWhiskey:
I'll try that. But I won't bother you further with the hw_config.sh :) What you've done so far was enough, and I'm thankful. Over the course of the next few days I'll try the smartass module from the original thread. For some reason, there's a 50KB size difference between the two.

Thanks for your help.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xWhiskey:
Tried the smartass governor again today, and played with its parameters a bit. It seems it works ok for a while (about 3-4) hours, but then it screws everything up. UI starts lagging, games become unplayable, some apps start force closing, etc. It's a shame because I really wanted it to work, especially after investing so much time into it.

However, taking this post into account:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1369817

... and the tweaks posted there, I made some tweaks to the ondemand governor. Here they are:

echo "60" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand/up_threshold

echo "100000" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand/sampling_rate

echo "4" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand/sampling_down_factor

echo "15" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand/down_differential

echo "50" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand/freq_step

CPU is clocked at 245/600, stock kernel. I've noticed that with these parameters AnTuTu scores drop about 100 points, but the results are VERY consistent. They don't oscilate in a ~400 point interval anymore. Also, games are very stable, only with very minor lags here and there on some harder games. Battery seems more or less the same. I might theoretically get 2-3 hours less, but that's hard to quantify at this point. Wake-up speed is also very good.

Could anyone try these out and see how it goes? Perhaps we could conjure up even better settings?

EDIT: Also, interesting thing to note is that setCPU shows about 40% time on 245MHz, 54% on 600MHz, and the rest on in-between freqs. However, I don't think the app recognizes deep sleep states, which means these frequency percentages are used only when the phone is active, which is great! If you look at it, it also makes perfect sense. When CPU reaches 60% of load, frequency is ramped up. However, one freq step is 50% of the max = 300MHz, and because the system uses round-up states, frequency jumps from 245MHz to 600MHz instantly, spending time on in-between frequencies only when ramping down.

Also, I've read somewhere that having a CPU set on e.g. 245MHz on full load is much worse for battery saving than having it set on e.g. 600MHz until it is done working, and then ramp down to min. These settings might actually be a bit beneficial for the battery.

EDIT2: CPU Spy recognizes sleep states, which are at 86% of the time.
