In the golden ages of xda, all of this sort of stuff would have been common knowledge.

Can't believe our forums are getting reduced to random users collecting various 'tweaks' that have debatable levels of effectiveness and calling it revolutionary. IMO this thread is pointless. Sorry if nobody agrees but this is happening way too much.

EDIT: And from the looks of it you are telling people to enable a kernel tuner option that forces the second core online. Bad move! Obviously this will boost performance, but it's down to the users discretion if they want the second core online at all times.

[HTC Sensation] ashkan-khatar:
that's something obvious from the way it looks, so if someone did not want to make his/her phone's second CPU core to work all the times, so would not do that!

If you mean regarding battery life, let me tell you that it does not affect that, for me at least, according to what I've seen.

Of course it affects battery! It doesn't matter what YOU have experienced its just science and common sense, obviously having two cores online all the time instead of one will drain more battery. It will be negligible at lower frequencies but it's still there.

And if you'd have paid attention you'd have realised this is a development forum, not a 'post a collection of dubious tweaks that work for you' forum, I.e. it's meant for the developing and moving forward of custom roms. What you are doing here is misleading any noobs that may be trawling this forum into installing and flashing things they know nothing about and are unsupported by the majority of knowledgeable users.
[HTC Sensation] ThatsABigOne:
Just take a chill pill. :laugh: They are not supported because they are not widely known, but from my own testing, they do work. How about you try them yourself, instead of denying that they don't work. :fingers-crossed:
[HTC Sensation] sjknight413:
I tried that crossbreeder script after some hesitation about 20 minutes ago, and like after trying all these sorts of random scripts i have found it is a complete and utter placebo. Even after a google employee confirmed these entropy scripts do nothing it amazes me that people continue to create them!

Like i said earlier the rest of these tweaks should be common knowledge to anyone that has a rooted android device, at least it would have been common knowledge a year ago. It should be down to peoples own decision which of these they use, if any.

It annoys me that lots of these threads from random users have popped up in development with a collection of tweaks and scripts that don't make a difference at all, but noobs will jump on here, see this and think it is the proper way to 'hack' their phone and make it smoother/faster and because they don't know any better they more likely than not think they see a difference and rave about it. They won't learn anything from this process, they won't research what the scripts or tweaks do and they will complain when somebody creates something that is actually worthwhile yet they can't get it to work properly because they have no previous knowledge from doing basic stuff like this.

It's pointless threads like this that have made XDA what it is today, it is extremely hard to find useful information among the hoards of noobs complaining, demanding and whining.

Hi,

for the last couple of months I've been spending my weekends developing a retro-style starfield-themed wallpaper. Now it's finished and I'd appreciate if you could take a few minutes to check it out. It is free, does not contain ads of any kind and it does not require any permissions.

[Android Apps and Games] MattBooth:
Here you go :)

[Android Apps and Games] space_cadet:
Much obliged :)
[Android Apps and Games] MattBooth:
No probs.

BTW, this awesome. Do you plan to do a simple starfield, though, instead of cubes?
[Android Apps and Games] space_cadet:
No, I tried that during development and it wasn't very spectacular. But if the interest is big enough (decent amount of dowloads) I would like to add other 3D shapes like stars, spheres, pyramids etc, maybe an option to load your own custom 3D objects.
[Android Apps and Games] Matsilagi:
Try to do something based on the Flying Windows screensaver or something similar, it will look cool too!
[Android Apps and Games] MattBooth:
I'd definitely like the old school star field from win95 :)

Do you mind if I include this in my ROM? Credits given etc etc :)
[Android Apps and Games] Jklaz:
I really like the retro look! I like to theme my phone sometimes to different things.. changing wallpapers and fonts and such. This is a great one for an old school but futuristic look!
[Android Apps and Games] space_cadet:
Not at all, go ahead.
[Android Apps and Games] space_cadet:
You guys sure like your Windows 95 :p Well, if the app is downloaded by a reasonable amount of people and I know I am not doing the work in vain, I will do a poll or so to let the communitiy decide what the next feature should be.
[Android Apps and Games] space_cadet:
Sorry to bump this again, but I'm noticing that quite a few spanish-speaking people are downloading the application. I'd be really happy if a native spanish-speaker could take the time to translate the preferences menu. The whole text is about one screen page. I attached the strings.xml file below, so you can have a look. I will mention you by name or by alias in the google app store, if you like.

P.S.: You don't have to translate words like "Starfield Live Wallpaper", of course ;)

Edit: other languages are welcome too!

Hey guys,

Have any of you heard of an unlocked developers device for the 8x? I bought a used one off craigslist and when booting it says "not for resale" under the w8 logo. It also has white engraved numbering on the front face (top left). everything works great but I cannot update the software! Anyone know about this?

The phone is also unlocked and was used on TMobile by the previous owner, however it is a verizon branded phone and I even put in my verizon sim and it works fine!

I am using quarx cm7.2 rom for my bravo, but device is laggy in animations. It is overclocked to 1000mhz.
[Bravo General] Dr. Orange:
Turn off special animations if you have them on. If that doesn't work (even if it did) you should install seeder. Is a random entropy generator that smooths out the UI. Here's my mirror for it: https://www.box.com/shared/u5audt7x4af2n2egtpdx. Just install it and turn it on. It should make everything nice and smooth. :D

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] hsn97:
Hi XDA mates , this time im bringing you guys my first try for making a minimal screen for our little phone. A detailed tutorial below this will give you guys the same result as you all can see in the header.

This is a really light , fast and minimal setup , Your phone will surely feel faster and lighter with this. (it doesnt make phone fast though, but just the feel)

This will not take more time and work because i have already provided the used files which consume time to work on.

It can be done in all Android phones irrespective of the resolution.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] hsn97:
Detailed Tutorial

Use the wallpaper included above. (If you are an explorer user, use the one that is already reisze to 640x480 HVGA resolution of explorer otherwise use the HD resolution Wall)

Unzip the "Minmal Basic" zip and put the folder in root of sd card and restore the required name files when using the widget. (Remember to add a 4x1 widget then stretch it to 5x1)

Place the "go to page" icon (Nova Actions) for the first screen on the first place, to the second screen on the second place etc in the dock and replace those icons with the ones icluded n Dock-icons.zip (u can also customize the dock icon names to ur liking by uing an app called Simple text from Playstore)

Go to settings, in settings, set the custom color to full transparent, then go to digital clock settings, under date color change it to "custom color 1". So now when u add the digital clock widget, date will be hidden.

In configuration of widget , add any 5 toggles of ur liking, enable hide vertical dividers , and make it fully transparent. (add a 4x1 widget then stretch it to 7x1)

Add a 4x1 widget , hide the widget buttons, enable ransparent background. (resize it to 7x1 after adding.

@electron.hTcpico Thanks mate, and yes as Gladiator00 said, the insporation is absolutely from there , its a great website , u guys must visit but the actual problem is that we cant try most of the screen in our lil phone :/ , but still if we try we can get them. :)

Thanks :)

The backups and everything is already there , no need to make apk backups, just try to make the setup , you yourself will not have any difficulty, but if you do have then im here to help :)

is it possible to make this application work on an xda? it would be so cool to have secure voice com.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] Anon:
While back I heard of a developer encoding speech within a v.110 modulated data call, to which you can then apply any encryption you want. Pretty cool, would neatly side step attempts by authorities to listen to your calls over a standard GSM voice line.

I assume this is the sort of thing you mean? GSM already carries a good weight of encryption behind it. It is not uncrackable but you'd have to really care to want to do it.

Alternatively build a VoIP app using GPRS, similar comments apply as above.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ElHyperion:
Hello. Recently I installed the Lupus JB kernel v6, 720p version and flashed the newest AOKP on my Xperia Neo. Everything seems fine, but my wifi doesn't wanna work. The button-slider at settings menu is usually grey and not working, while BT is working fine. Sometimes it lets me to turn it on, but then I get a message 'starting wifi', which lasts forever...

I tried to install several wifi modules for Lupus through the recovery menu, wiped dalvik/cache and fixed permissions after every, but no luck. Tried all the ones at the Lupus V6 thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1958453) but none really worked.

I've red that I can delete the bcm4329.ko at /system/lib/modules and replace it with the one at /modules. But it's set at read-only and I can't rewrite it from the file explorer and root file manager doesn't see anything at /system (or /system/lib)!

I also tried to change the regional code- no luck

I was told to try another kernel, but isn't there another solution? I like the Lupus, I don't want another one... Thanks
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] rajth525:
Sometimes this happens if u flashed too many Roms without Full wipes....

Just flash the ics .587 ftf .......Boot into phone once ....

Then flash Lupus Kernel ....Go to recovery > Factory Reset>Wipe Cache partition > Wipe Dalvik Cache

Go to Mounts and storage > Format system

Then flash the Rom and flash the gapps and then flash the wifi modules....

This will probably solve the Wifi problem..

Press thanks if i helped..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ElHyperion:
Done all that but no luck, wifi is still not responding

EDIT: My lockscreen stopped working, help! I press the power button and the screen goes black. I press it again and it's unlocked...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ElHyperion:
Seems like the ICS .587 isn't the best one for me when it gives such major bugs, I already posted a thread for it. I can't open up browser my home button isn't working, and the wifi problem persists. By the way, I can't a 'Format system' option in the Lupus recovery. I wiped everything I could (except SD) but didn't find any format system button
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Attitude.SSJ:
So the lockscreen homebutton is not working... In addition if you long press power button you will see lesser options?? Is this the problem??
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ElHyperion:
No, this is not the main problem. I've created a thread for this (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=38597273#post38597273) but that problem fixed when I flashed the Lupus, but I probably used a different .ftf which I can't remember now. So now my phone is like half-working, plus the wifi modules also aren't working- it worked when I flashed the AOKP for the first time, when the lockscreen and other stuff wasn't fine. After I flashed it for the second time (beginning of the thread), with the different .ftf I can't remember and don't have in my computer, everything seemed fine except the wifi. Then I followed the steps described by rajth525 but it just brought me back to the first stage when many things weren't working, just that the wifi is still not working.

I hope you understand my situation after this. Anyways, I will try to flash on different basebands to see if it helps and post here the results. If you have any solution now, please let me know!

I was playing a game with my phone when suddenly the phone crashed (errors about framework or something) and now it is stuck at the bootscreen. Anyone who can help me?

It's running GB 2.3.6, rooted phone. I'm able to get into CWM-recovery and downloade mode.

I have a backup from a week ago but I don't want to lose my data from last week.

First of all thanks for the replies. I ran a full recovery backup yesterday and my problem was "solved".

Today I played The Simpsons again and my screen started flikkering. I thought it was due to low battery but I still had 60-70% battery.

When I rebooted my phone I could start it, fill in my pin code and it worked-ish. After a few seconds my screen started flikkering again and shut off my phone.

I turned it on again and quickly went into flight mode, everything seemed fine, untill I activated my 3g connection again. The screen started flikkering immediatly again and shut my phone off. You guys know what possible could be going on?

-edit-

It is also flickering when in flight mode...When there is load it flickers it seems...

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nnnnn1:
Hi, since I'm not allowed to post in Wanam's thread I thought someone might be able to help me with my problem. I installed today wanam's latest rom (v6.2, MB5) and coming from foxhound, I was looking for 'rom options' or kernel options or any other advanced options, which ... weren't present anywhere. So I started going through the installed apps and I found 'MusicFx 1.4' (thinking that it may have something to do with boosting speaker's volume) which has no icon (wasn't running in background either) and there is no possible way to open that app up, which I then uninstalled. However I am now looking for a volume booster as I live and work in noisy/busy areas and Samsung's extra volume won't do the job still. Wanam advised everyone not to restore any app from a different build (because of something to do with MB5) so I'm confused about installing any volume booster mod.

I was also wondering if there is any way that I can get the blacked keyboard (stock, but dark theme, black buttons rather than gray) on this rom ? If so, can anyone tell me how do I do it?

And the last question, is it possible to port the 4.2 messaging app into this rom ? Foxhound rom has an option in the aroma installer to choose it and I find it better, faster and more efficient than the standard 4.1.2 messaging app as it has a quick reply feature and many design customizations also.

To make it more clear, I'm running WanamLite ROM 6.2 MB5, stock kernel (the kernel that comes with the rom, i haven't made any changes to it, but as far as I know it's a little tweaked for better performance & battery life), Android 4.1.2 and I'm looking for:

-volume booster

-dark themed 4.1.2 stock keyboard (available in FoxHound ROM)

-4.2 messaging app (available in FoxHound ROM)

Many thanks.
