Excuse my noobness, but what exactly is the purpose of tweaking the speed? I understand to read/write faster, but what applications will this benefit?
[HTC Droid DNA] kaliblazin707:
Re: Waiting Room - post OTA bootloader unlock / root

Every application you have installed using sd memory
[HTC Droid DNA] Novakingwai:
>_> I mean what's the benefit?
[HTC Droid DNA] jonesin:
faster r/w access to the sd meaning cached data that apps use and any resources they might be accesing will be accelerated. A good place to see the effect first hand is in your gallery. Go to 124 or whatever the default is then scroll through your gallery and see the time it takes pics to load, then change to 1024 and save settings and go back to gallery... images load MUCH faster now... the same will be trueto some degree for just about every app because our virtual sd is our only sd meaning resources and behind the curtain magic is on the sd :) make sense?
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
You guys are talking about the Read Ahead Buffer size. I keep mine at 1024, but you can try higher values if you have a bunch of stuff on your sd card that you frequently access such as music, pics, and vids.

Ok everyone, I am a REAL NEWBIE and I've read most of the posts reagrding the SX56 and Rogers AT&T (Canada) but I really need some assurances and/or specific responses to my questions. Please help out if you can...

I want to bid-on / buy an SX56 on eBay and have it shipped to Canada for use on the Rogers AT&T network.

Do I need to do anything to get it to work on the Rogers AT&T network here in Canada. I understand I can simply use my SIMM card from my existing GSM phone.

However, I was talking with a guy from Siemens Canada today, and he cautioned me about buying a unit from USA because he suggested that they are usually "locked" for use with a particular carrier (AT&T or T-mobile). As a PDA or phone he felt that it would work. But, if I want to access the web, he felt I wouldn't be able to do so in Canada UNLESS the unit is "unlocked" and re-configured for use in Canada.

Does anyone know anything about this? Or even IF it can be done?

I am fairly competent with technology and computers, so don't be afraid be specific.

MANY THANKS, in advance, for all your help.... I really want to get this unit but they're selling in Canada for $800 CDN

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Paragon:
The device does have to be SIM unlocked. There are tools on this site to do so if you need to.....and elsewhere as well. If it is not SIM unlocked you will NOT be able to use your existing card. If/once it is unlocked it will work on Rogers AT&T....mine does.

Howdy,

I've been using the SX-56 on Rogers for the past 4 months. Actually I just upgraded the radio yesterday and also threw on a cooked ROM and this is working so much better than before.

If I just knew how to make this work with the Rogers GPRS network for browsing life would be GREAT.

I have it set for

internet.com

user: wapuser1

pw: wap

no DNS

but is there something required in the dial patterns?

Anybody have any tips for GPRS on Rogers in Canada?

Thanks,

Jim
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Guinness:
Have you SUBSCRIBED to a DATA PLAN with Rogers AT&T yet?

I understand that you need to add the DATA PLAN to your existing service for it to work.

Somewhere else in this Forum I read this... "You do not use goam, simply change that to internet.com and user name is : wapuser1 and password: wap. do not put any D.N.S. or anything. give that a try."
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Guinness:
I forgot to ask you...

You UPGRADED the Radio? What do you mean?

Also, which "cooked rom" did you use?

I'm guessing that you need to "copy" the ROM file onto an SD Card and then load it onto your SX56??? Is that correct? What size of SD Card do you need?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] jimphill:
Hi,

I do have a Data Plan with Rogers.

I think I need something modified in my Dial Pattern - not really sure how it should be changed.

Anyways - I went to www.yorch.net and went to the Upgrades. i was able to get a new Radio version for the GSM portion of the phone - simply download, hook up via cable and run the RSupgrade that is included in the zip - phone works 1000000% better now.

In the same site you can create your own ROM - i made one and added / removed different apps. Then i ran the ROM upgrade utility - I made it as an EXE and it simply redid my os on the PDA portion - took around 45 min to copy everything over.

I can't wait to get this working properly....

Jim
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Paragon:
Jimphill

It should work with the settings you are using. How strong is your signal? If you have a weak signal it's not likely to connect.

Otherwise call Rogers and ask them to reset your acount, then wait a few minutes and give it another go.

Hi,

I have used this phone rooted for the last 8 months+ and after a full restore to stock and re-root, some changes seem to stick even after a complete un-root.

Long story short, been using LBE Security as a firewall and permission manager and i noticed it stopped blocking internet access for certain apps even when it showed it does but it did not. Decided to restore to stock T989UVLI4 and re-rooted and LBE is still miss behaving... tried a full factory reset, fix permissions via CWM and LBE is still refusing to work.

I am not sure what root apps could have messed up any of of the system files that could survive a full un-root, but this seems to be the case.

I s there a way to see if any system directories changed when they should have not and such directory would not fully recover on a complete un-root factory reset?

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] synok123:
Hello everyone.

I am having a big issue installing custom ROMs nowadays. Previously it was no deal, but now, whatever ROM I get, it is stuck att the Edify crap in the beginning of installation. Tried using the Amend (or whatever) to Edify on the update script in com -> android or something like that. It does everything fine, but rezipped the archive after saving and tried to flash it. This time I got some message from the tool and it ended with an "Update complete" message. Started the phone. NO change.

So I tried opening just the zip of the rom and yet again, seemed to do some stuff. Transfer to my SD card and everything goes well on installation. Getting the regular "Update complete" message. Restart phone, no change.

Thats how far I got, tried flashing the recovery thinking the recovery obviously might be outdated. No luck, at all.

Might add that the reason I want to use a custom ROM is since the one im using now (Mokee Epic) does not support USB. My computer doesn't recognize it. This way I can get it to work in Sony Ericsson PC Companion and reinstall the stock ROM.

So, im sorry for a big read, but I am in a very bad mood now.

EDIT: Might add that I tried out FeraVolt's ROM which installed fine. The problem was that when I started it and entered my PIN, the screen would go black. I guess this is a result of me NOT flashing with their custom FeraKernel. But when I tried to flash the kernel with FeraVolt's GB 5.3 kernel released earlier this month, It gave me the Edify error.

Sincerily,

I rooted my kindle fire using kfu 9.8. As of this moment when I install roms they do not boot up and they stay at the boot logo. I dont know if it has to do with TWRP or the roms, but I have tried 2 cm10 roms and one AOSP 4.2.2 rom. I will tell you exactly what I did.

1. Rooted with kfu

2. went straight to recovery, flashed the aosp rom + google apps

3. Booted up and it stayed at the boot screen

4. Tried another rom, put it onto the device through usb mounting with twrp

5. Still stuck at boot logo

6. Tried the last rom but still stuck!!

After that I tried to flash back to stock using this

(doesnt let me post a link if requested I will pm)

But twrp gave an error and it did not install, it said somewhere an error doesnt matter and you would boot up fine but I didnt :(

Between installing all Roms I wiped cache, dalvik, and factory reset.

Hello.

Im doing all the safe steps before flashing a new ROM, like EFS Backup.

Now its time do to a nandroid backup.

Since nandroid backs up everything i have a question :

If i do make a nandroidbackup after i have flashed speedmod kernel and if something goes wrong with the new ROM and i want to restore, the phone will not boot cus when the nandroid backup was done i was runing speedmod kernel.

Or im wrong ?

Idk if i was clear enough :laugh:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Umm pretty much. You can use Corn Kernel instead if you want the nandroid to boot. Or you could make a nandroid before flashing speedmod.

Although, when going back to stock (for w/e reason), it's better to flash stock KK4 without bootloaders with Odin than restoring a nandroid. That will boot and will only need you to flash the kernel again if you wanna try another custom ROM.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Klitoni:
So i dont need the nandroid.I dont care about the settings or apps

Im not going to make the nandroid than and if something go wrong ill get to stock by odin right?

I guess you got some reading to do then. Download mode if what your phone has to be in to use Odin (while phone is off, hold vol down+power).

Recovery mode is the mode you use to flash zips, wipe cache/dalvik, factory reset and such. (vol up+down + power)
