[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzmanj1:
OK, so first things first. I am rooted and have attempted repeatedly to remove the Google Play Services apk with no luck. I have used TB to uninstall. freeze, delete. It will delete the file and or remove it but when I reboot its back and it wont go away. I have looked into the my

/data/app

folder and deleted the file from there and then removing it with TB, still whether I reboot or I wait anywhere from minutes to a coupel hours its back and as it doesnt show up under the PLAY store I cant think of any other way to remove the dang thing and its eating about 40mb of internal storage. I move it to SD and it will work for a bit, but then its back to internal storage..... I dont even use Google+ that much on my phone. I use it on my PC.

Any ideas/suggestions?

File in question:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=en
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D.Spirit:
It takes only 7.92MB of internal storage for me.

You need to remove the GPlay store to remove it permanently.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzmanj1:
Maybe if I rename the play store apk and add a .bak then reboot then remove the dang thing entirely it will be gone.

I looked and I dont know whats different with mine but its eating around 39mb on my phone.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] narflynn619:
Why would you want to remove it? This app, as far as I can remember I read, gives us "Smart Update" which lets you install and update only the updated portions of apps instead of redownloading the entire app. So... I just moved the app to my system partition using TB, then Integrate it with the ROM everytime it gets updated. Internal memory problem solved.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ridder215215:
According to Google Play reviews, you need it for YouTube and possibly other Google services.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaR-V-iN:
Sorry, but this is wrong. Smart Update is a Google Play Store feature and has nothing to do with Google Play Services.

Yeah true, since newest version.

Google Play Services is something like a replacement for older Google APIs on Android. It allows developers to use a newer version of those APIs (this "newer" version is not better in any way, but new :P). Google's idea is to get more independant from hardware manufacturers and their updates. They want this APIs to be no longer part of the system to update them on their own. They started porting their Apps to the new APIs, YouTube is one of the affected apps (what means they did not add any feature but let the app work only on Android systems with Play Services installed).

Im at war with Google now. Will go Windows

Up until today I was quite happy with my ZTE T60. Then suddenly upon waking up this morning it was sluggish, the Internet was unresponsive and became a great disappointment. Then the low memory warnings started, my "market" Icon was switched to "Play Store". So into settings and application management I go. Now I notice two new applications I did not install or was I asked for permissions. One being the play store which is only a MB or so bigger than the old "market" app but now I also have this "Google play services" thats 19MB! My device only has 128M ROM. I don't have room for it and I cant get rid of it. Being that Google took over my device I have decided to boycott all Android devices. I would also like to note the same exact thing was done by Google with my Samsung GT-S5570 Galaxy mini. Whats the point of pushing store software onto devices like this that takes up all of the Rom so one couldn't download anything from the store if they wanted to? Doesn't Google realize this enormous update is not suitable for every android device on-line and why have they mandated it? Sorry Google, I used to love ya but this is the big goodbye.:(

I am not sure about windows phone OS but I can agree with you. Now Apple and Android are doing the same bad things than Windows for desktop did in the past.

Unfortunately on mobilephones its is even worse because by default you are not root/admintrator. :(
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psxpetey:
You need it for like all services by google. The google play store will just keep downloading it and putting it on your phone until the end of time. Youd probably have to re engineer the google play and other google apps to not download this app.

Ok People,

I have the HTC One X AT&T I have installed Team Venom ViperXL 2.4.1 Sense 4.1.

My question is this,

Which Kernel should i use for better performance?, Better Battery?

I once tried installing a different kernel and OC'ed once i did that i got stuck in a boot loop.

Also i am not familiar with Under Voltage,

Can Someone who has the HTC One X AT&T and Venom ViperXL 2.4.1 Rom installed with different Kernel tell me what kind of setting you are using. OC? UC? and OV? or UV? that are stable and giving you good performance and battery

let me know

Thanks

:confused:

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rinnycoop121:
what about under voltage and over voltage?

and you running under-clocked at 1.35 does that mess with performance at all? and how the battery life?

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 954wrecker:
It comes down to trial and error since each phone reacts different to certain settings. I tried different speeds and I honestly can't tell the difference between 1.3 and 2.0 on battery or on speed.

Ok i am having a problem here.

i downloaded and installed Elementalx kernel

Now stuck at Viper Boot Screen since 20 minutes

what do i do now?

I do have the stock kernel downloaded also i can go back to stock, but why Elementalx will not boot?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 954wrecker:
Not sure but both viper and elementalx have forums with questions and answers for issues like this. I never had problems so I don't remember the answers sorry.

how about Beast kernel, any good?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 954wrecker:
Try it, many people prefer it. Maybe you have issues based on the newer 2.2 firmware and hboot 1.14?

Sent from my HTC One XL
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] flar2:
Elemental will work fine with viper 2.4.1 (but not Viper 3 jelly bean)

Did you try again? Maybe the installer didn't complete properly the first time.

Do you have hboot 1.14? It will try to install on hboot 1.14 and may take a long time. For some people it won't install on 1.14 and you have to fastboot flash.

But if you can install stock kernel from recovery, you can install elementalx from recovery.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gr8lats:
Will you be making a compatible kernel for Viper XL 3.0 JB ? Been using your kernel on previous versions of Viper with good results. Thanks flar2

His cid is VODAP021, phone bought at vodafone but optus sim is inside.
[HTC One X] squabbi:
Well you find a RUU for your HTC device and use that. You must have stock recovery.

[HTC One X] PlayPetepp:
New all that already but thanks anyway. Thought there was something else. It's kinda difficult to go back to stock since the right ruu for my brothers phone is only hosted on filefactory and requires a premium account. If someone has this ruu: RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_Voda-Hutch_AU_2.17.862.2_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_275359_signed.exe and could provide a no-premium-account-needed link, that would be most helpful. ;)
[HTC One X] Isidrology:
I use mike's roms too, I think he blocks the update option so you don't even see it.

1. Download the Nandroid Backup form here. And install it via recover/ touch recovery.

2. Install stock recovery via fastboot, I used the Stock HTC Recovery 1.26-1.29 (wasn't sure which one mine was to start with) get the download also from here.

3. Relock bootloader Via HTC DEV

4. Now you have everything stock, do OTA via the setup/abouts/update menu.

5. Unlock bootloader Via HTC DEV

6. Install Touch Recovery

7. Install mike's roms
[HTC One X] PlayPetepp:
Ahh, if I've only seen this sooner :silly: thanks!

Been trying to find the Stock RUU or Nandroid for the past week, but no luck.

I will greatly appreciate if you could share your Stock Nandroid Backup please.

I have read this thread.

The link in post#8 does not have a nandroid for CID 'VODAP021'.

Since I am S-ON I suppose I could not run other nandroids.
[HTC One X] M@c|-|oR:
You are right about VODAP021, but as far as I know, there are other VODAPXXX codes that could be change each other, depending on the main version. check also your main version against the given ones.

Still, as you are S-OFF, you can really choose any one you wish.

Also, what does BTU stand for?

Hi all,

I want to remove carrier based ads from sites in browser.

Ther are ads that if i click by mistake results in activation of any unwanted service on my number and result in deduction of my balance.

I have tried ad away, ad free etc apps but didnt got wat i was looking for.

Plz suggest something.
[Motorola Atrix 2] RAD7:
I echo this & i've had unwanted billing by clicking inadvertently clicking on ad's (use perfectapplock & the the time lag in which ad comes up randomly varies in a crafty manner making user click ad by mistake).

One of the better ad blockers in my opinion, even if it has the ugliest interface. :laugh:
[Motorola Atrix 2] RAD7:
Was just reading thread on Adaway vs Adfree, Yes, I used to use this before I installed ROM Toolbox Pro by JRummy and currently communicating with devlp regarding non functioning of perapp ad blocker within the various apps. He is suggesting using a custom rom to see instead of stock rom. Tried reinstall, changing location of hosts, clear data, nothing worked.

Regarding LP, further to my question above I did read more about it and I rest my question. It goes a step ahead and kills wake locks apparently giving considerable battery boost.
[Motorola Atrix 2] gadinkid:
Everybody does not have choice do with third-party aplication cause it will bring new ads to your mobile, there is one good choice if you can change policy security or you can hack your mobile like make ROM or ROTTED your mobile then change system be unread and unwrite or maake yourself firewall to erase all ads output.

I think google give their software without pay cause the ads are pay it with expansive price for development cost.

If i am wrong..... polize me cause i am newbie on android. :D

When I check running apps , sum of available and used memory is 694 MB.

On my nexus 7 its 974 mb . I thought nexus 7 and gnex both had 1 GB ram so why do I see less ram I gnex ?

I am running stock 4.2.1 with stock kernel on both the devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wildfiregt:
That's normal and it's the same on every phone. Your firmware and OS and preloaded apps takes that ammount of ram. So you won't see 1GB of free ram. The nexus 7 is a tablet and doesn't have cell antenna. These services are running all the time on phones
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shockem:
The missing ram is used for the graphics adapter.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anil76:
Thanks for the explanation!

Is there a way to keep launcher always in memory ? Many times when I return from chrome or gplus, my launcher gets refreshed. Its pretty annoying as you can't do anything till your launcher refreshes. Currently I am using stock launcher but faced similar issue with Holo launcher as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kurre:
Nova launcher has an option to keep it in memory. It looks like that it is increasing (lowering value) the oom priority from 6 to 2. AFAIK that's connected to android's memory management which gives app an chance to act in low memory situations.

If you're rooted, you could use a script to do the same (to what every app you want).

1. Sometimes there may be errors in the screen while typing and unlock. On the official firmware this is not observed.

3. Problems with the volume

Are you saying the issue might be in the custom Rom as opposed to the kernel?

Yes, it has been confirmed by Chinese Forum/

PS: Yes, and just do the Chinese have a great Rom, which has better performance and fluency than posted in this forum, but here they are not allowed to post. I do not understand what's the point, because I think that we're all trying to make the perfect Rom. (sorry for my english)
[HTC Incredible S] cycber:
Because their Rom are all base on virtuous Rom or others not base on ruu . Also many of them use venom tweaks and they don't have permission to use . That's why we can't post here because their Rom are not original developed.
