[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pharmbob:
Does overclocking to 1800MHz make much of a difference to performance?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pharmbob:
I've just flashed the KTMANTA kernel and I am impressed.

Would it be detrimental to increase the GPU Max?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Patrik G:
im not on AOKP ROM so i dont know how the CPU performance is optimized but on original rom the CPU speed rarely/never gets over

1000mhz

so overclocking to 1800mhz is pointless.

you need to upper the boost pulse instead
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pharmbob:
And what does the boost pulse do?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Patrik G:
it will boost the CPU speed higher when its under load

change this settings (leave the rest at default) in KTweakerT and the N10 will fly

CPU Governor: pegasusq

I/O Scheduler: ROW

under "Governor Adjustmensts" change these:

boostpulse_value: 1700

up_threshold: 40

up_threshold_at_min_freq: 20

Under Extras:

to keep your saved settings when the screen i off you will need to change the "Screen off profile Mhz" to something else than the Defualt setting

change it to 100mhz

also go in under the "Thermal Throttle Control" (settings for kids) ;)

change these values to:

CPU start Throttle: 100

CPU Stop Throttle: 99

Memory Start Throttle: 100

Memory Stop Throttle: 99

that is the only way to get rid of the Throttling control.

one note is when you play games lock the min/max mhz to the same speed for an example (MIN 1500mhz/MAX 1500mhz)

its the up/down CPU speeds changes that causes it to lag

for movies lock the min/max speed at 800mhz and your blu ray movies will play without microstutter

also use BS player that has the fastest HW decoding

NOW Enjoy your Nexus 10 as it was ment to be used :)
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pharmbob:
Thanks for the info, I'm apprehensive about altering the thermal settings though. Will letting the processor get as hot as 100 degrees not reduce the life of the chip?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Patrik G:
sure if it would :)

i have already measured the CPU temp without the back case and its nowhere near 100 degrees

50 is more true so you are safe even without the Throttling control.

the thermal throttling control isnt measuring temps it only guess them.

Sorry for being such a noob but this is my first android device. I installed the kt room and the tweaker it all works fine. Bit whem i changed the room all my stift dissapeard. I vacker up my last rom can i just switch to that and backup with titan?

Btw it improved gta gaming very much. Bit what happens IF i always have the min/max on 1500?

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jujuburi:
I use AdAway personally, there's also AdFree, they both act same imo, and we all know how much juice is drained by in-app advertisements, which won't even show in BBS, so it's a must for me to use an Ad blocking app. But the problem is if I apply then in ads in web browser also gets disabled, which ends up as a dull looking browser with white boxes here and there. I like the ads in web browser, which gives it a full desktop like view, and of course I'm talking about the stock browse here.

So my question is, is there a way to block the in-app advertisements only and leave the browser ads? Or is it a system wide block?

Thanks in advance.

PS: This is how the browser looks if ads are not blocked/disabled,

This is with ads blocked,

Swyped from my GT-N7100
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adytum:
As far as I know, an ad block app either forces its own connection policies globally, or uses the hosts file to allow and disallow connections, both of which are system wide.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seclien:
I have had my Kindle Fire for over a year and I have used various ROMs. Most recently, I was using the HellFire ROM and it crashed out on me. I decided to go back to stock for a while but noticed a new version of FFF (v1.4a) so decided to install that. Now, it boots to the FFF screen but nothing else. I cannot enter the boot menu. My computer does not recognize the device (no sound from the computer recognizing that it was plugged in) with either a regular or factory USB cable (I've used the factory cable before to unbrick the device).

I have read through the other posts regarding similar problems but all of those posts were resolved with either a driver problem or with a factory cable. None of the utilities or terminal commands are useful since the device is not recognized.

I have let the battery completely drain (letting it sit in a drawer while I take a break from the problem). It does recharge with the factory charger, but one thing of note is that the LED stays green during the charge. It never turns amber either on the charger or when it is connected to the computer.

Anyone have any ideas? I've been scratching my head lots over this. Many thanks for anyone willing to scratch along with me.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
So have you tried Soupkit? How did you flash your bootloader?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seclien:
First of all, thanks for replying and trying to help. I have tried SoupKit and the Macintosh utilities but I keep getting the same response "Your device appears to be offline."

I originally rooted the kindle by manually entering adb commands. I installed the bootloader with KFU.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
Is the bootloader splash static or does it blink on and off? Are you able to accces the boot menu to reset bootmode or enter recovery or select normal boot?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seclien:
The bootloader splash is static. I am unable to access the boot menu at all.

I have been playing with the "short the point" install TWRP over USB but to no avail. I get "waiting for OMAP44xx device" and that's all.
[HTC One X] TwinAdk:
Hello.

My device is an international HTC One X, it is rooted and the bootloader is unlocked. Its s-on (oh well..) and i has CWM installed for recovery. HBOOT version 1.39.0000 (never changed the hboot version).

What lead up to my situation:

I moved from my stock rom to [ROM][Jan 14] Jellybean 4.2.1 for Endeavoru AOSP Build [BT Audio fixed] [ANY HBOOT], working fine for 2 weeks. Then i want to flash [ROM][04 Nov]PARANOIDANDROID 2.53 | Per-App COLOR, Dpi & UserInterface.

Instruction for flashing:

Did all - choose the JB rom, not the ICS. Also did a factory reset just to be sure, though my previous custom rom was a 4.2.1 JB rom aswell.

After last reboot its stuck on the HTC logo itself. I then (for the heck of it) flashed the boot.img from [ROM][Jan 14] Jellybean 4.2.1 for Endeavoru AOSP Build [BT Audio fixed] [ANY HBOOT] - because it was able to boot my phone with the other rom.. After that, its stuck at the custom bootscreen for [ROM][04 Nov]PARANOIDANDROID 2.53 | Per-App COLOR, Dpi & UserInterface. Its been loading this rom for +15 minutes.

My question: It doesnt seem the phone ever boot. Will replacing the boot.img with [something else] solve my problem, or is it a problem with my HBOOT version? I am not very fond of replacing the hboot, because i havent researched this as much, and from what i read its a quite important part of the phone.

Any help is appriciated! I tried searching for the answer on my Hboot problem, but wasnt able to find anything. Should there be a thread on this matter, then please just redirect me, i am perfectly able to read and understand text :)

Kind Regards

TwinAdk
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
Since it is based on CM10(?), and is version 4.1.x of android, I assume that it will not work out of the box with 1.3x hboot version.

On regular CM10 this is solved by a special boot.img, and a similar solution might exist for paranoidandroid.

Please search the parsnoidandroid thread for "hboot" and something useful may pop up. (I can't do that as I'm browsing on road. :) )

And one more thing: never flash boot.img from another ROM, it will not work.
[HTC One X] TwinAdk:
Hello,

Thank you. I flashed the boot.img from the zipfile with the ROM, but i will search the rom thread for a special rom to solve my problem with the hboot version.

Do you know where i can find more about hboot versions and custom rom compatebility? Also, is it best to have an old or new HBOOT version? The thread of the custom rom says the following:

But the link (this boot.img) is a dead one to dropbox.. I guess the search goes on! Can you clearify what the OP means by "1.23, 1.28 etc"?

Kind Regards

TwinAdk
[HTC One X] Goku80:
it means hboot versions....try and use a unified hboot kernel...most of the times should be the latest one in the updated rom itself
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
He means Jelly Bean hboots: 1.23, 1.28, 1.31, 1.36, 1.39

Jelly Bean hboots (described earlier) are compatible with Jellybean and ICS Sense ROMs, and 4.2.x AOSP ROMs

(And somewhat compatible with aosp jb roms other than 4.2(like paranoidandroid) with workarounds like a special boot.img)

ICS hboots (lower than 1.23) are compatible with ICS Sense ROMs and all AOSP ROMs.

The best hboot depends on the roms ypu want to run and it is not possible to downgrade it.(W/o s-off)
[HTC One X] TwinAdk:
I am aware that the numbers are versions :) But he seems to group these version numbers together by a common attribute, and it is that attribute i am looking for. For example, hboot 0.94 is not in that group, or is it? Are the hboot versions majorly different from some version and forward, or some version and backwards... maybe a wierd question. The ROM threads OP links to this youtube demo video on the flash process, he is on hboot 0.94, for example..

Thank you for the update on the hboot versions, that answers the section i grayed out (is there no strikethrough on xda??)

Is an older Hboot just universally better? Also, can you elaborate on "unified hboot kernel"? Or point to a thread :) Whats in the word unified..

I found a boot.img for 1.3x hboots in the roms thread (here), i will try that now.

Kind Regards

TwinAdk
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
It is for icecoldjelly rom and will not work. Search the paranoidandroid thread.
[HTC One X] Goku80:
did you fastboot erase cache before flashing the boot.img
[HTC One X] TwinAdk:
Yep, i noticed that too, im looking for at boot.img in the CORRECT rom thread... I have both threads open, and search the wrong one.

Will the captcha check to post disappear at some point?
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
Yeah, some point, perhaps 10 posts. Don't remember.:)
[HTC One X] Goku80:
dude..just fastboot erase cache and take the boot.img from the rom itself and it should work...i done the reading on the PA thread and that is the procedure you should do
[HTC One X] TwinAdk:
Okay... This is wierd..

@Goku80 - I did erase cache, both via CWM and via fastboot directly.

I managed to get the rom to work eventually. I used the boot.img and the modules from this post. The boot.img (boot.repacked.n3o.v13.for.new.hboot.img) link was dead, but i found it via google.

In this thread, where that same file is discussed, it is reported that the boot.img file is NOT working:

- But for me it worked anyway..

Thanks everyone, i learned alot about hboot versions and the boot.img issues that can arise :)

Kind Regards

TwinAdk
[HTC One X] Goku80:
run out of thanks but it is great to see someone actually making an effort to learn..:) well done my friend...
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
I'm glad you got it working. Enjoy the ROM! :D
[HTC One X] TwinAdk:
Thanks both of you guys :) The rom is quite messy, UI wise, and the default android keyboard crashes CONSTANTLY.. Cant get to GP to download swiftkey 3 that i purchased, but will attempt push and install via adb or build a zip from cwm backup i can install from recovery..

For now i reverted, but did a cwm backup, though keyboard is broken, for easy restore.

From my International HOX via xda app
[HTC One X] TwinAdk:
I don't think I'll use the custom rom after all, it's very buggy (could be a problem on my part, with the way I did things, not really sure ). Apart from the keyboard constantly crashing, the preloaded application for flashlight 'stopped working' over and over.. Not very comforting.

I tried to install the swiftkey 3 app by using app2zip to create a update.zip file, and then flash the update file from cwm, but swift key 3 never shows up in the app list after reboot... Wasn't it supposed to do that?

Kind Regards

TwinAdk
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
Try another ROM, I recommend IceColdJelly by LorD ClockaN, really stable, no FCs, and it's compatible with your hboot right away!
[HTC One X] TwinAdk:
That is my next go, for sure :) I have seen it already, i was just keen on the DPI one, due to the options to customize DPI per app.. :)
[HTC One X] Goku80:
change the dpi on ICJ and you can still get mdpi apps for your rom..make sure you run a launcher like Nova or leave the default one and you should be fine...

i would suggest ICJ also as it is the smoothest and great AOKP rom out there at the mo
[HTC One X] TwinAdk:
By "The dpi on ICJ" you mean overall for the system, right? In probbuild. WHat is mdpi apps? Multi DPI? And a launcher like nova? Can you direct me to info on nova and mdpi apps? Or just quickly explain :) I would like my homescreen in one DPI, my apps list and config menu in other DPI, and some apps in 3rd and 4th DPIs... Can ICJ really do that?? :laugh:
[HTC One X] Goku80:
Nova Launcher yes...And mdpi is Multi DPI as you said correct. And no you can not do change different dpi on ICJ...One change and it is universal for the whole rom unfortunately...And i will be honest that is how i like it..To many different dpi's for me looks to messy...

[HTC One X] TwinAdk:
Okay, so i went looking for the IceColdJelly you guys were talking about, but i found two, both by LorD ClockaN...

[ROM] [15JAN] [AOKP] IceColdJelly421 - 1.4 - JellyBean 4.2.1_r1

[ROM][07DEC][AOKP+] IceColdJelly - 3.5.1 - JellyBean 4.1.2_r1

Which one is the one you guys are recommending? I had my eyes on the second one at first, but the top one is based on JB 4.2.1, which i would prefer over 4.1.2.. I have read about AOKP and AOSP, but what is AOKP+?

Thanks in advance.

Kind Regards

TwinAdk
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
4.2.1 of course! :D

I don't know what AOKP+ means, perhaps you should ask in the rom thread.
[HTC One X] TwinAdk:
I flashed the 4.2.1 while on the train to work, and is configuring it now (working in a huge coorporation, so exchange first!). I REALLY like the Nova Launcher, oh the possibilities. My exsisting rom was also 4.2.1, but without many of the mods, so I believe this new rom is an upgrade as i like to tweak things (hence being an xda member..)

After having moved to the new rom, i would like to restore as much apps from the old CWM backup, what app could best do that? I found a few, but would like second opinions. I have App Extractor 2.0 beta (free due to beta) and Nandroid right now.

Kind Regards

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scubadude:
Just wondering on performance between stock and custom roms. Pros & Cons etc

Generally I run custom roms on my phones (i9000 & I9300) but have stuck with stock on my tablet (P7500 currently ICS).

I don't want to run a custom rom just for the sake of it and if there are issues I would prefer to keep it stock.

anyway thanks in advance to those that can help out here.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Siberian Tiger:
Since you are already running custom roms i believe you already know the pros and cons between a stock and a custom rom.

Just have a read in the forums and if you find that there are issues in custom roms for this tablet just don't flash it.

Thanks and thread closed.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sammmurai:
I finish full charge the battery 100% at 6 PM.

Then at 10 PM shutdown device (4hrs battery usage, 90% remain).

Next morning power on device and after a minute the usage is : 1 minute on battery, 90% remain.

The correct should be 4h 1min battery usage, 90% remain.

Is there any app that shows this? (Real battery usage

after full charge

and not after power on device)?

Thanx
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dravokivich:
Hi All,

Seem to have a slight problem with flashing Custom Roms onto my GNex at the moment. Not too sure what's causing it to freeze when booting up. All I get is the X logo and will stay there until the battery dies.

I'm able to revert back to a Google rom and regain use of my phone. Just can't seem to flash any custom roms at all. It's happened with CM10.1, CM10, XenonHD Stable-2.0, Minoco.

I've attempted to flash with CWM and TWRP. Both get the same results. Prior to flashing I've whiped both the Cache and Davlik.

I have previously used CM9 and older versions of Minoco on this device. So seems odd that this is happening now.

Any advise or ideas towards what I should look at would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Drav
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
you have wipe data before flashing different roms... dirty flashing(only wipe cahce and dalvik) is only if you are updating the same rom.. this is how i normally flash ALL roms

1. wipe data/factory reset

2. wipe system

3. wipe cache

4. wipe dalvik cache

5. flash rom

6. flash gapps

7. reboot

8. wait 10 mins then do another reboot

9. enjoy

PS- the 10 min wait and reboot is soemthing i do that IMO lets the new rom settle
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dravokivich:
Thanks k786,

It's booted up in a custom rom now after following those step by step. Much appreciated! :good:

Windows 8 running on the NC is not going to happen. :crying:

But check out this video by Tinkernut on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5klJrX9ubc

He demonstrates how to use Splashtop streamer running on your NC (or any supported android/ios device) to connect to a Windows 8 PC (swiping is supported).

He has it running on a NC (or Nook Tablet, I can't tell) at around 1:50 in video.

I have not tried this myself, but it appears that this would at least allow you to experience Windows 8 on your NC. :highfive:

[Droid RAZR M Accessories] Osmatic:
Well, i don't want to tell some quite obvious things in this review like "it fits great" and "just pop it in" or smth. like that. My opinion about case reviews - they should contain huge views of the case itself, to decide whether you like it or not and some pros/cons.

So, #1 - Qmadix Xpression Cover.

It is made quite like Speck's CandyShell - hard outer shell and soft inner layer. Except Qmadix's inner layer is not so soft as Speck's - it is made of plastic too. That's why they made those cut lines above the buttons.

Pros:

- Extremely durable;

- Very solid;

- Don't add too much thikness;

- Buttons are great and well pressed;

- No space between case and phone for dust and small particles.

Cons:

It really hard to quickly remove it from the case once inserted.

And #2 - Speck FabShell. The review of it will be only partial, because i sold it as fast as possible after realizing what i've bought for $35. :D

So there will be only a few my photos and two found on Amazon to describe the expression about it.

First of all - it's look cheap. I mean very cheap. You'll definitely regret you've paid $35 for it. Even $15. It's basically the same as any $5 TPU case found on ebay. Thin rubberized borders, thin bendable bottom. It doesn't feel solid at all. The only thing they do to add more "pricey" look is added this print at the back side. But googling same cases for the iPhone 4, i found plenty of them will unstick pretty quick since the backing of this print is paper!

Once inserted - there is plenty space for dust or sand to enter the space between the case and phone. And since it all is flexible, it'll scratch your phone back cover - i have such experience with my previous Atrix 4G and Momax iCase. It have soft silicone borders and hard smooth bottom. The sand goes between them and made hard scratches because of the friction between two surfaces. That's why i should aware you from bying from ebay cases like this:

They will have same cons and will make your photos blinded because transparent matte back on this case reacts like light guide during flashing.

Also, mine Speck was packed inside some kind of "common-sized" blister that in fact was little less than needed and the case was bend inside it.

Once fitted to the phone, right side of it (with USB port) was not in contact with the phone unless i used hairdryer to unbend the case back. But it not the thing you expect from the case that cost you $35, right?

Pros:

- Looks better than $5 TPU cases;

Cons:

- Extremely overpriced;

- All above.
[Droid RAZR M Accessories] Ducaticorse:
Very nice write-ups, much appreciated! A coupe questions on the Qmadix: The black portion of the shell looks shiny and maybe a bit slippery. Does the red area offer additional grip? How is the button (power, volume) actuation with the somewhat unusual button arrangement on this case?

Again, thanks for the write-up and additional insights.
[Droid RAZR M Accessories] Osmatic:
Yep, black part is shiny but i have no problems with that. It have matte black center part that feels rough, as well as all red inner and outer layer - it is matte rough except buttons and prevents from slipping.

Don't understand what do you mean by "unusual button arrangement on this case". The buttons are pressed very smooth and easily, without any problems or added force. Due to noticable spacer between power and volume buttons, they are easily distinguishable by touch.
[Droid RAZR M Accessories] Osmatic:
Small update to the thread. Might be interesting for those of you who drive cars.

Received motorola vehicle dock today and can confirm that it works flawlessly with this case.

You don't need to remove the phone from case or modify anything in this dock. Just plug and go.

Well done, Motorola! How many times i blamed you while removing the Atrix from case before each time docking.
[Droid RAZR M Accessories] Dyelon:
Because of your review, i ordered a qmadix case and got it today. Its really sleek! Really digging it so far

Thanks for taking the time out
