Guys I need build servers for compiling roms. Anyone here who knows about such servers or owns one of them?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] thenrik:
Hi:

This is my first Motorola device and I'm puzzled by its bizarre screens, sort-of-screens, and bizarre connections.

On my past Samsung phones or Asus tablets, there were five or so screens. I can/could set different wallpapers for each screen. The Photon Q has virtual screens--you can add them but they don't behave like a normal screen. I haven't been able to figure out how to get different images on different screens. I use Multipicture Live on all my other devices but there aren't standard screens on the Photon Q. Is there a trick I've missed?

Likewise, on all of my other devices from mp3 players, past phones, tablets, you connect the device to the computer and it shows up as drive letters, one for the device and one for the external sd card. Sometimes I've had to set it as mass storage or media device but once set, it connected immediately. The Photon Q needs to install drivers to connect and even when set as mass storage won't see the external sd card.

Granted most of the time you'll be on your computer but you have to drag around a microsd adaptor/card reader when you're on the road.

Why doesn't Motorola have standard screens and standard connection standards?

Thanks,

Tom

You can use a home replacement app... Go Launcher, ADW, and Apex are some popular ones. The stock OEM launchers are awful imo, home replacement apps have far more features and functionality. It's easier and more intuitive to add home screens with a home replacement app.

To get it to connect to your computer install the latest Motorola USB drivers and set your phone for mass storage mode.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curtisbrannan1:
Hi, I have a xt912 Droid RAZR Maxx using 4.0.4 ICS and I used the root method that was provided here. I then went root app crazy and also installed the superuser.apk file with the Elite. I went and got clockwork mod touch installed after that, and when I did, the phone would say something like "system is upgrading" and after a while the custom front screen wouldn't work anymore and I lost root access. I since then did a FDR and everything except superuser left. I tried recovering the backup using recovery in fast boot, but it isn't showing as a choice from CWM. I used root checker and it says my phone is not rooted yet I can't uninstall the app only disable it. How do I take it off so I may re-root this phone later? I also used a backup from Titanium pro+root and it won't let me recover from that. Any help would be appreciated.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sloosecannon:
Not RAZR Maxx forum... This is for the RAZR M.

That said, if you did an RSD (assuming that's what you meant by FDR?), you're gonna need to do whatever you did in the first place to get root... No idea how, since I don't own a RAZR Maxx. You'd have better luck asking in the Maxx forum...
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curtisbrannan1:
I can't find the maxx forum. I thought that this was the closest thing to it.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whodisname:
Of doesn't even matter. Just go to the app and click cleanup for permanent unroot. It will delete it. You aren't rooted but yes the app remains in an unfunctional state. Uninstall it like I said then do a factory reset(probably not needed but do it anyway. Keep it clean!)

And this is correct for ANY phone.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curtisbrannan1:
There is no option for cleanup. All it has is disable and clear data. It won't let me uninstall it. Its like it became bloatware when I did a FDR
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sloosecannon:
Cleanup would actually be in app, not in Android's app settings... Chances are tho, if you really have no root, cleanup will fail
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curtisbrannan1:
I guess I will have to reinstall the elite version again. Will let you know how it goes
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whodisname:
Well I can tell you from experience that just cuz you have root apk does mot give you root. The thing is, whatever you did is something I have done before. I don't remember all but I do remember I regained root after doing it and both aps asked for superuser permissions.

Everything did work but I had both. Sorry bud, I can't remember what I did but I can tell you it was an easy fix.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sloosecannon:
Re-rooting would do it

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] downfall360:
so I am new to the sidekick as I just got mine today. and I know it has issues with the stock rom freezing ect.

so i wanted to put glorious overdose on it. followed all instructions to get a dead link for the recovery file and update.zip.

then found http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1275116 with a new link

however when I download the recovery and update and open it in root browser lite, it comes up as recovery.rc instead of just plain recovery. assuming this must be a mistake I renamed it to recovery and replaced mine with it. my sidekick was hanging on the boot screen when trying to go into recovery. but if I messed with the power button enough i could get it to boot normally. after redownloading and repeating what i did hoping maybe I copied the wrong file I tried it again. no luck. so i tried using quickboot (was suggested off a site I googled) and now I can't get the phone to boot normally anymore. just restart and hang at the boot screen.

I read this was fixable by using something call odin, so I'm going to try that while I wait for a reply.

but even when i get the phone back to stock and re-root it I still would like to know how to get clockworkmod working so I can load up glorious overdose and enjoy my new phone. I'm new to flashing roms to my phone. but I've done many gaming console and computer hard/softmods so I'm not incompetant. any help will be apprieciated.

EDIT: figured out odin. still looking for an answer to why my recovery comes up at recovery.rc

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
ROM isn't "kind of like the OS on computers". Its just a modified version of the same OS with different features.

Recovery isn't like "safe mode" either. Android has its own safe mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spitefulrain:
^^^ Like above, ROM is not like the OS. More like a different distro. Like ubuntu, arch, mint, gentoo, etc.. All are linux, but different bases and feature sets.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danger-rat:
This is supposed to be layman's terms, and I think the definitions meet that criteria.

A ROM is kinda like an OS, in fact Android is typically described or defined as a mobile OS. ROM has nothing to do with modifications either...

Stock Android OS = Stock ROM

Modified Android OS = Custom ROM

Even though Ubuntu etc are Linux distros, they are still considered Operating Systems...

The OP is trying to be helpful, so why not be constructive?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
Why do we need "layman's terms"? Is typing ROM into Google or Wiki too time consuming? Or is the technical definition really that far over someones head? Either way this is the wrong site for that person.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
I am being constructive. There's a difference between "dumbed down" and just dumb. When you change the meaning of terms for the sake of noobs they never stop being noobs, they just believe things that aren't accurate.

In other words, like I said before:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danger-rat:
I just typed ROM into Google and it gave me loads of random stuff that doesn't really relate to the Operating System on my phone.

I then typed in Galaxy Nexus ROM, and it sent me to XDA.

I then looked at the forum rules, and didn't see any minimum requirements of knowledge...

Everyone has to start somewhere, and XDA it's probably one of the better sources of information. I'm guessing that's how XDA and their sponsors like it...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rice923:
danger-rat: thank you for taking my side on the subject

wiredpirate: yes, the technical definition is above the average joe's knowledge base. Go ring your neighbor's doorbell and ask him to tell you what a kernel is. You're probably going to get a lesson about corn.

063_XOBX: it is my assumption (from your really high post and thanks count), that you are very technically inclined. True, my definitions may not be of any use to the tech snob that works for the software engineer, but that's not my purpose. Regardless, I've edited accordingly from your comment about recoveries and safe mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
Hey, the information is available as is, there's no need to dumb it down.

Either people make an effort to understand it, or they don't.

Simple.

They don't understand it in the first place but really want to?

They will keep trying and experimenting.

And why another thread? Seems to me OP doesn't "search".

Sent from my i9250
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
The "average joe" or "neighbor" is known as a noob. A noob comes to XDA and reads, learns, and becomes a novice over hours/days/weeks. Nobody here wishes that any XDA user remains a noob - so why make it easy for someone to limit their knowledge?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheJerf01:
Thanks! I am new to this and your post helped!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skorasaurus:
Thank you s:good:

To those who think "read it yourself!" Have some empathy. You were newbs at one time. It's easy to think that things are easy to find, but if you just search, it doesn't instantly come up, and you may have to read several threads, or discover that the information you find is later, outdated. This isn't like wikipedia, where I can insert toro into it and the definition pops up.

I forgot a lot of the stuff that I had learned after I had stepped away for several months.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] times_infinity:
That's because ROM stands for Read Only Memory. Which the OS (system partition) is technically supposed to be. Read only to the end user.

particularly the settings.db.....in data/data/com.android.providers.settings

i immediately rebooted my phone,,.

and now,, it was missing....

so now,,, im asking if someone could upload their

settings.db,,settings.db-shm,,settings.db-wal

my fear is of different rom versions (im running RC2) and also that it might bring my password to u (then ull get stuck with too difficult pw)

easiest way in my opinion (hope it helps) : clear data of settings app then restart ur phone

if it doesn't work : make nandroid backup , install ur rom again then restore ur data

hope it helps
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] santiagoruel13:
thanks,,, though my phone is ok now,,,

ive noticed that when editing the com.android.providers.settings using ashell / asqlitemanager by andersen,,, one must first back up his ,settings.db-shm,,settings.db-wal

or else you'll end up with no lockscreen ,, and the menu button doesnt show up your recently used apps,,,,

just dont know why,,, but holding down the menu button doesnt even force an app to go back to the HS,,,,

so ive got no other way but to flash again,,,:D

charge down to experience:D

As I see there is no recovery for general version of this device yet and it has been very long since the forum is created, so just wished to compile a custom recovery for you people so that development can proceed.

What I need?

1. A Tester ( I don't own this device and doing this upon a request) to test the build

2. Give me output of

cat proc/mtd

3. Some info on factory flashing? What this device as a flashing mode? Fastboot? Download mode?

4. boot.img or recovery.img from the device
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vndang:
So I'm running the latest CM10 nightly on my Nook Color and everything's been running smoothly for a while except bluetooth. I originally thought it was a problem with pairing with my Mac keyboard but I tried pairing with several other devices and still the problem persists.

Funny thing is it will scan and will pair but cannot maintain a connection to do anything. I tested this with Mac Keyboard for input, my Galaxy Nexus for bluetooth tethering, a couple headsets, other friends' phones, etc.

I'm beginning to think this has to be a software or kernel problem. Has anyone else had this experience? Is this a possible CM10 bug (I haven't messed around too much with CM7.2)?

Thanks for your help.

[Microsoft Surface] tamarasu:
Dear guys and gals,

Found a key for touch prediction that when edited showed a marked improvement in keyboard responsiveness and small item manipulation ie classic desktop, file explorer, etc.

The key is: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\TouchPrediction

Edit key for latency from 8 to 2.

Edit sample time from 8 to 2

Restart

See attached for a edited registry key to inject. Tested on two surfaces with no ill effects.

edit: to answer a few questions: this increases performance on all touch aspects of the device
[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
The most likely ill effect would be a decrease in battery life as the system must poll the touchscreen more often... just be aware. Otherwise, cool find.
[Microsoft Surface] Bjray:
Keyboard does seem faster... Does this also affect swiping? it seems like I can swipe in any way and get the full length of the page / app in one swipe?
[Microsoft Surface] tamarasu:
Haven't noted in marked increase in battery consumption but I will monitor.
[Microsoft Surface] Dane Reynolds:
Could this improve the home key button, when my surface is on standby it takes about 6 taps to get the surface to wake up.
[Microsoft Surface] tamarasu:
possibly, I have not tested the mod for that per say,
[Microsoft Surface] carguy303:
I also have not noticed an increase in battery usage on my asus vivo tab. Not a surface, but rt.
[Microsoft Surface] Dadstar:
What would decreasing the values to 1 due? I am assuming the lower the value, the better. Or did it not test well on Surface?
[Microsoft Surface] tamarasu:
Originally I choose 2 to test the battery draw. However, now that I haven't seen any significant increase in battery usage the drop to 1 can be done.
[Microsoft Surface] Dadstar:
Is it that easy for all the values? In other words, can all of the registry values be set to 1 to improve performance? Or are all the values a certain number for a reason? Cuz if latency of 1 works better than the original 8, idk why Microsoft would put it at 8 in the first place. Sorry for all the questions. This stuff is interesting to me!
[Microsoft Surface] ruscik:
First off all any values are "safe values". Some screens might be of worse quality then others (different manufacturers of parts). Having that value setup to happy medium means all screens act the same. You lower the value you demand that screen reads the inputs faster and more often. Might not be a good idea on some devices.

Not only talking about surface. Remember win8 (especially pro) will go on many different devices.

Also if you set sampling and refresh to low it might start having ghost touches from minimum input that would normally not be visible (oversensitive).

Best to practice and find perfect for you and your device.
[Microsoft Surface] Dadstar:
How about the other regs that don't really have a highest/lowest rate? For example, Disable Hotmail is defaulted at 2. What would changing that to 1 do?
[Microsoft Surface] ruscik:
No there is no general rule where lower value is better. Some of the values displayed are "face values" where 2 is 2 like refresh 2 times a second. Some times 2 and 1 have a meaning off or on (like your hotmail). Remember PC reads numbers. Even more sometimes numbers, text or mix you see like 8 or 4 are actually representations of some kind of code for example hex or binary.

If you do not know what the number represents then changing it is a guess and nothing more. Just have a backup copy as fiddling in registry with drivers can have funny side effects. I did make my hd7 think i am touching it everywhere all the time so it hang seconds after boot ;)
[Microsoft Surface] Wupideedoo:
Are we sure this does anything at all? In order to test if the differences were psychological, I set the number to a ridiculously high value and it didn't seem to behave any differently.
[Microsoft Surface] tamarasu:
Yup I found noticeable differences in fine touch control including in the registry,window control, etc.
[Microsoft Surface] kanttii:
Thanks a lot!
[Microsoft Surface] light_n_roses:
Is 2 a good value in the case of the surface PRO 1 ?
[Microsoft Surface] msafwan:
"touch prediction" did prediction, not pooling!

"Latency" = how much milisecond to look ahead

"SampleTime" = the period in milisecond to average your finger's motion

The effect is thus:

Larger "latency" make the pointer overshoot, smaller "latency" make the pointer lag behind (1 - 100 milisecond depending on your system performance).

There's no penalty on your tablet's battery or digitizer's life for turning TouchPrediction off, and you don't need to restart to see the effect. (try finger drawing in MS Paint to see effect)

If your Surface missed touch, then try to cool the back of your tablet. It might be thermal throttling.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Atma057:
My wife's phone started giving her a lot of trouble. At first, whenever she would take a picture with flash, the phone would die. Shortly after that, her battery started bouncing around percents. It would be 80%, she's reboot, then it would be %10. Now her keyboard randomly stops working. The keyboard shows up, she can type on it like normal. We get the pop up keys and haptic feedback, but nothing shows up in the editor window. It does this with both the default keyboard and Thumb Keyboard.

She was trying to text her nephew when the issue popped up, so I let her use my battery and I put her battery in my phone just to test it. When she was done, I swapped them back and now my phone is incredibly laggy (almost unusable), I'm having the same keyboard issue and my battery is draining very fast... I'm running CM 7.2.0

I wiped her phone and reinstalled CM 7.0.3 (I thought I has 7.2.0 on her SD but didn't) and the issues are persisting...

Has anyone heard of something like this transferring through a battery? Can anyone recommend a way to fix this?

Nope. It sounds like something is SERIOUSLY wrong with that battery, though. Toss it and get an Anker. I hope it didn't cause permanent issues. :eek:

If you spin the battery on a table and it spins more than 90-180* you know it's bad ( it starts to bow out in the middle).
