What does userspace RAM fragmentation mean? Sorry for being noob...
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamikon:
Basically it means when the gpu needs more it doesnt take away from userland aka launcher apps etc. Instead they reserved an extra 400mb for the gpu to help with performance on the crazy hifh resolution
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fidelator:
Well, **** I think that they should have let it take away RAM from the user, I keep like 15 tabs open at all times and only having 1.2gigs free causes the browser to run out of memory and crash.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaspar737:
Weird, Android should keep all tabs open and reload them if you want to see them. My phone does exactly that.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] styckx:
15 tabs open is considered excessive on a laptop and low end desktops. Let alone a tablet. As is the case though when it was allowed to rob from the userspace RAM is it was fragmenting it.. Which in a lot of cases probably left you with less usable RAM then you get now.

Fragmented RAM = There is free RAM but because it isnt a contiguous block the OS can't use it. It's sits there completely wasted until x-y-z happens.

Two great pictures showing what fragmented memory is and why it's a problem. These are about Netware servers but the same principles apply.. Fragmentation = Bad and a waste of space.

External Fragmentation

Internal Fragmentation
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fidelator:
I usually keep at least 25 tabs open in my first gen i5 laptop without problems (I have 6gbs of RAM though).

And damn that sucks, but would the the unusable RAM ever reach 400mbs?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] styckx:
That I can't answer.. I just would be illogically guessing at that point.

Yeah, extra RAM helps on the PC end of things with browser tabs.. It can start bogging down on the CPU though with ads, flash, and scripts running. :laugh: My ADD can't deal with more then 4 tabs at once.. I'd go nuts with 25. :laugh:
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamikon:
I would also suggest a lighterweight browser. I use lightning browser mostly. And chrome beta only when a page doesn't render something properly in lightning.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DrunkUncas:
I seem to be losing things I download. Sometimes they go to download folder on my card, sometimes internal.

I've got three nandroids on my SD and the last one inexplicably landed in internal storage. My first nova backup disappeared, but the subsequent ones went where they should have.

How do I set download location?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DrunkUncas:
And is it just me, or it TWRP incapable of navigating through the entire file system?

Some of my downloads ended up in system/storage/sdcard0/download- which I can't seem to get to on TWRP. It's completely buried.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dcdgoth:
Well, I can't fix the inconsistency, but I can fix regarding disappearance of your downloads. download and install root browser lite from play store. Open up the root browser and navigate to both download folders in internal and external storage. make sure ALL download, .downloadTemp, and data folders have all 9 permissions(long press on the folder, select permissions, and make sure all 9 areas are checked). And try to use titanium backup to backup your nova setting.....i hope this helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DrunkUncas:
Thanks, I'll give that a shot.

AirDroid is almost completely useless to navigate this thing with. It's got the external card buried in system/storage/extSDcard.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] bamsbamx:
Hello, I created this 2 apps to add copy and paste buttons to the nabvar...

What this app does is to simulate a keypress from a service when button is pressed....

Concretely sends KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN for CTRL_LEFT(holds that key pressed), then injects C or V KeyCode event and finally it sends KeyEvent.ACTION_UP for CTRL key(releases that key).

However, not all apps are compatible with CTRL key, so this wont work properly with these apps

This app has been tried on Xylon ROM but also it SHOULD work on AOKP and derivates.

**THIS APP DOES NOT REQUIRE ROOT**

Install like a normal APK

MORE FUNCTIONS ADDED!!!

To use this app you must sign with system signature, which can be find in its repositories

Re: [MOD/APP][AOKP] COPY/PASTE buttons in NAVIGATION BAR!!! (Root & NON Root)

No, it doesn't work for non rooted. It installs and goes to widgets and put it on the screen and it says not installed when clicked. Plus, non rooted wouldn't be able to add those to the launcher. MAYBE 3rd party but I don't wanna do all that.. :P

I am rooted, but i have the same error... I dont know why, but it only works with in the navbar... however it doesnt make sense to put them in the launcher...

I guess that appears that errors because I dont created an acctivity that extend AppwlWidgetProvider

You can see in screenshots, go to settings > UI settings > navbar settings (Depends on your rom) and add new icon> custom application... it should appear there

Re: [MOD/APP][AOKP] COPY/PASTE buttons in NAVIGATION BAR!!! (Root & NON Root)

Hi.

Can you make similar buttons but with different functions?

I would like to hide navbar and use aokp pie instead but I need few buttons.

Menu

Back

Home

Recent apps

And if this is possible - forward buttons (for Internet browser)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] bamsbamx:
Sorry, i am a bitb busy for now with other projects(see my signature), but i will see if i can...

Maybe i will do it in the next hours, i am at the gym right now :)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] bamsbamx:
Well its done... It can emulate back home menu search play/pause skip track power button and camera button
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] jarayn:
This is looking really cool. I love aokp nav bar mods and this seems quite similar.

Is there a function in there for "last app"? That's probably my favorite thing to have on the nav bar.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] bamsbamx:
I suggest you to tequest that ro the rom developers.. The could integrate this app better in their rom... Also they could add more button like "last app"
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] jarayn:
I have that already with my Rom. I just thought it would be good to have this for those roms that do not in case I want to switch.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] TeddyBeers:
Thanks for trying but buttons doesn't work.

Every time I press added button I'm getting message "unfortunately app stopped"

I'm running 19feb unofficial aokp by bigxie on n4
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] bamsbamx:
It said in op... You must sign apk with system signature and install as system app... There are some tutorials out there :)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] TeddyBeers:
Yep

My bad :)

Tried to find some info hot to sign this app as system app but can't find simple way.

What kind of files do you need to make this app working in AOKP by bigxie?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] bamsbamx:
For example, for xylon rom you have to use these platform.pk8 and platform.x509.pk8... You get them here

https://github.com/XYAOSP/android_build/tree/jb-mr1/target/product/security

To sign you can use a program called "apk signer" (i think)
[HD2 General] mooman552:
Hi,

I bought an HD2 off of ebay on Wednesday that was in `Perfect working order`.

Yea.

Not exactly.

It works perfectly, until you try and connect it to a wireless network, you then go on the internet for a while, and if you put your finger on the little black section underneath the screen where the HTC logo is, it's hot to the touch, it then does what an HD2 does when it overheats; freezes then reboots itself.. I've tried using the internet with the 3G connection and it doesn't heat up, so it's definitely the WiFi causing this phenomenon.

Is this fixable, or FUBAR?

Thanks

PS. Facebook, Twitter and O!Market, I presume this trend would follow to other apps that use internet, none of them work despite being connected to a network. They all say `No Connection` or similar, would like some advice on that as well.
[HD2 General] xandros9:
lol I encountered the same thing recently, "almost new" my butt.

Since I don't use my devices with cell service (radio's turned off always), I obviously rely on Wi-Fi. But it seems to me that Wi-Fi is causing overheating, but it once went down when Wi-Fi was off, so I'm thinking that my device is just "propelled" faster by Wi-Fi.

but anyways, my device would heat up right above the buttons and in the bottom portion of the device on the back. So I opened it up, only to be surprised to find the Wi-Fi antennae in a corner on the top and the cellular radio in the bottom.

At this point, I'm assuming it's processor is just beginning to go, hopefully I can find another HD2 motherboard or dead device to salvage from.

Or maybe fashion a heatsink, because the region always hotter than the rest of the device when it crashes. (yes I did see the thread where it was said not to do)
[HD2 General] kingxklick:
Another option is thermal pads which has a much easier process of installation. Just need to be sure they are placed correctly.
[HD2 General] xandros9:
yea maybe i'll consider that, but i guess it really depends on whether i want to keep adding duct tape (metaphorically) or try to get a Windows Phone and cut my time losses

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Styxed:
Hello people,

Background info what I did before problem arose:

I wanted to root my Desire Z, so I figured out what to do:

- downgrade android 2.3.3 to 2.2 using http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1178912 ; option 4a didn't work, bootloader didn't see PC10IMG.zip while it was on the SD card in root folder. Option 4b did work luckily.

- root desire Z via http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD and made it to superCID, simlock off and S-OFF

So now I got a working Desire Z with android 2.2

Wish I stopped there...

I decided to try out android 4.2.1:

- I installed rom using http://genius-tips.com/update-htc-desire-z-to-android-4-2-1-jelly-bean-cm10-1-custom-rom/

It worked. I now have an Desire Z with android 4.2.1. But it was somewhat slowish so I decided I wanted my gingerbread back:

- I tried to install roms but somehow it didn't work, I kept my 4.2.1

- I followed the same steps I did to downgrade to 2.2 as described above, and it worked.

So I got a working Desire Z with android 2.2

- using HTC software update (settings -> about telephone -> software update) I download and install update 1

- download and install update 2

From here it gets interesting for this topic:

- download and install update 3, which is android 2.3; and during the install, while I still have my usb cable connected from laptop to telephone, my laptop battery runs out and update on telephone somehow fails (WTF, it is in charge only mode when it is installing right? The battery was full, or full enough, the telephone downloaded the update itself to SD-card or internal memory, so I assumed there was no connection.)

But now the Desire Z doesn't boot any more, it stays on the htc logo, without the 'quietly brilliant'.

- I tried via bootloader reset to factory defaults: vibrate, htc logo, image of telephone with green arrows above and loader below with image of SD-card on the right of loader. But loader doesn't progress and after some time telephone resets and stays at htc logo.

- I tried recovery via bootloader: vibrate, htc logo, and image of telephone with red exclamation mark and red triangle.

- no connection via sdk/adt.

I also tried to boot CyanogenMod 7.1 from SD-card using http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1572924 , but same result as above.

What can I do to save my Desire Z, other than replacing motherboard ?!

Please help...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
The update failed being it was in the process of writing some firmware when you lost power, this tends to mean a partial update and a brick. The pc10img.zip you tried to flash before was not to be in any folder, so not a folder called root, rather no folder at all.

This may also be your salvation, maybe the only way of fixing, more info here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=33917375
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Styxed:
Thanks, I will try it out this afternoon.

To clarify:

In order to downgrade to android 2.2 I used http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1178912 in which is stated

What does this mean if I am not supposed to have this file on my SD-card ? [edit: Or did my previous post suggest I had a folder called 'root' on my SD-card in which I had the zip?]

Second thing to clarify:

When my telephone has battery AND it is connected to my laptop (charge only I assume) AND my telephone is updating firmware from the SD-card/internal memory of the telephone; why would the telephone lose power / fail installation at the moment my PC tries to shut itself off because of low battery. Or is there something wrong in my assumptions?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Yeah I misunderstood ya, I thought you had a folder named root, if you did don't,

I must have been reading too fast I also thought you were doing an ruu through the computer not an ota update which is what you were doing, if that's the case the power loss on computer shouldn't have mattered unless there is some weird deal that I don't know about when charging through PC.

Can you confirm what is written on bootloader screen, radio, SPL, etc?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Styxed:
Sure, I posted it on the topic you recommended me: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=37613472 to continue there.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Styxed:
Conclusion:

Format SD card in FAT32 if it wasn't yet, then bootloader can read images again and flash ROMs. Then telephone is unbricked :)

Thanks.

Hi,

I Shared this software was i found because I think it is very useful if you dont have a Wifi USB card.

PdaNet+ is one of the top Android applications of all time. PdaNet+ shares the Internet access of your Android phone with your computer or tablet. PdaNet+ works on all Android phones without rooting. It also does not require a tether plan, that will save you $20/month from most carriers.

PdaNet+ now bundles both PdaNet and FoxFi to give you supports of WiFi hotspot in addition to USB Tether and Bluetooth DUN. In USB mode it is capable of handling download speed of well above 35Mbps (35000kbps) and is the fastest tethering software available for Android.

Website :ht tp :/ / junefabrics. com /android/ delete spaces... my first post sry.

How to?

1 Install Program and follow setup steps.

2 When installation finished automatically the setup install the PDAnet app in your phone.

3 Now open PDAnet app and check Activate USB Tethe is marked.

4 Go to wifi settings in your device and enable wifi, now(in your device) search the wifi acces point what you want to connect.

You can see a new running network in your network connections center.

Compatibility

Android, Iphone, Windows Mobile,BlackBerry, PalmOS

Seeyou ^^

PD: You can download the full version program for example in: piratebay.se, simply search "pdanet" in browser

[Windows 8 General] z_zk_z:
The built-in GPS works fine with the map/GPS programs from Win8 Microsoft Store. I have several desktop map programs (e.g., MapPoint, Microsoft Streets 2013, OziExplorer, etc.) which look for a serial or USB port in order to talk to the GPS unit. Does anyone know how to get these programs talk to the internal GPS unit (e.g., COM port #, baud rate, etc.)? THANKS.
[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
That information may be available in Device Manager. An alternative, somewhat silly but actually viable option: hunt up a copy of Hyperterm (or similar) and, assuming it runs on Win8 (I haven't tried), check your COM ports for GPS traffic and tweak the baud rate until it looks like NMEA (I assume that's what your software expects).

With that said, it's possible that the internal GPS doesn't use the standard ports at all, and instead just uses the new Windows Location APIs. That would probably mean you would need to write a cross-over program that uses the new APIs to retrieve the location, translates them into NMEA, and pushes them to a virtual COM port. Probably possible to write, but not trivial. I hope/assume that the Location framework can be used in desktop apps, but I haven't actually checked; Metro apps may not be able to access COM ports in which case you would need to write to some inter-process-accessible resource that can be reached from the AppContainer - a loopback network connection or possibly a file may be workable, I don't know if named pipes are reachable - and then a desktop application to connect the metro app to the virtual COM port. HUGE kludge, I know.
[Windows 8 General] scjoao:
so there is no app that will work with the built in gps even for desktop mode? I tried Maps(that comes with windows 8) and only locates my ip not gps position

Hi, so I have a stock ICS rom on my lt30a, and im trying to put the Jelly Bean update. This is the first time im using flashtool but I did my research and knew everything I needed to do. One thing keeps preventing me from flashing it to my phone. I put the phone successfully in flash mode, green light, its recognized in flashtool, excellent, then after a short period of time my phone just reboots, shows the sony logo and is charging normally. I think my computer just keeps not recognizing the phone again and again but as far as I know all the drivers are installed.

Any ideas?

No need to say thanks, just hit someones thanks button if you want to say thanks.

That is a seperate issue from 303 or 195 FW, I beleive it is gone on 223 and 498 FW

But what you can try is to press volume up and power button to hard reset the phone. Do it untill it vibrates once AND THEN KEEP PRESSING UNTILL IT VIBRATES 3 MORE TIMES. Then try connecting in flashmode
