Wow, good logic you have there. I see that you've edited your post like this.

The formula A=B, B=C and A=C is incorrect here. You should apply:

A=B, B~=C, A !=C.

Seeder-like ~= Seeder, but Seeder != ScreenState Seeder.

It's like placebo where the act of swallowing the pill triggers the person to think positively, even though the positive-thinking is actually the effective drug against what the person is suffering from.

What I'm doing here is skipping the pill and just inculcating the positive-thinking right off the bat.

It's ok. I don't disagree with what he's doing as I positively countered every question he has against me.

What I can't stand is when people run out of answers and they start to troll hard just to avoid answering the tough questions.

Bootlooped. Im using galaxyW with cm9. Ive been flashing again my rom without any script/tweak/mod then flash this mod again but still bootloop:(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pikachu01:
It's due to certain CM ROMs that hang when accessing wait_for_fb_* function. It's a known issue. I know of CM7/CM9 ROMs that is facing this problem.

There's no fix for this unless the CM kernel developer backports the fix from CM10/10.1
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] OmegaBlaze:
How long do you plan on doing this test?

If its a placebo effect, why are you tweaking and updating??
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Kurre:
It's a placebo effect, that entropy seeding would speed up your phone (well maybe if there's really need for it in certain apps)..it's not a placebo effect that ramping up cpu will speed up your phone. Seeder apps are doing their (useless?) stuff and therefore cpu is ramping up more easily, hence the better performance.

I hope, I got it more or less correctly :) Pika probably will elaborate more :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pikachu01:
Yup, Kurre got it correct. :)

Placebo in this case doesn't mean it doesn't work. Placebo means the whatever it is doing is ineffective towards the goal it is meant to achieve.

In the case of Seeder, it's basically ramping up the CPU by loading the CPU every second, which means higher frequency is used. What I'm doing is to replicate the consequence (ramping of the CPU) without the useless seeding of /dev/random.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] OmegaBlaze:
Which in return will save battery? Or does ramping up the CPU mean battery loss regardless?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pikachu01:
There will be higher battery drain (as much as the Seeder will drain battery). If you don't feel any battery drain with Seeder, then it'll be the same or even better as the resource is not tied up to support a rngd daemon.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] OmegaBlaze:
That's a placebo. :confused:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pikachu01:
I don't understand what you mean. :/
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] OmegaBlaze:
Nvm. I see what you're saying about the battery drain.

I thought you meant if we experience battery drainage with seeder, we would experience battery drain with your tweak because its all in our heads...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pikachu01:
Umm, no. As I've said before, even if I devise tweaks that improve performance, I would need it to have at least optimal battery consumption (not so much as being ultimately battery friendly, but usable levels).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Fortun:
But something still doesn't add up. When I had the original Seeder binary loaded on my phone, the CPU clock would stay flat at the minimum frequency (in my case 122 MHz). This was double checked by leaving the screen ON without the binary loaded for 10 minutes and taking a look at the stats just before and after; and then repeating this procedure with the binary loaded.

By the way, I'm not discussing if Seeder actually works or not.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pikachu01:
Are you looking at the time_in_state statistics? Or an app that displays the CPU clock?

And one thing to note also. The load of the Seeder app by itself might not trigger the up_threshold. For example, the Seeder app might add 10-30% more load but that won't trigger the up_threshold when it's at 85 (by default for ondemand in most stock phones). Though, the load adds up to whatever other application's load is, leading to a faster CPU ramp up than normal only when it is used in adjacent to other tasks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Fortun:
time_in_state statistics for the 10 minutes test and a third party app to check real time changes.

OK. So if we lowered the value for up_threshold, we should start seeing the frequency changing. However, if we lower it too much, anything could trigger this change, so how do we pinpoint changes triggered by Seeder?

Also, if faster CPU ramp is what really occurs behind the curtains of Seeder, probably a few people who are reporting improvements while using it, could test responsiveness using the Performance governor with and without Seeder enabled.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pikachu01:
Yeah, that would be possible (using performance governor), though at that point, if your phone is fast enough as is, I don't think you will actually feel any difference.

You can monitor the Seeder process load (try attaching a watch that does it every second) though if the I/O transaction happens less than a second, you could miss out the CPU spike when it happens.

Edit: And please test this in a > Gingerbread OS as /dev/random is still used in Gingerbread, hence having Seeder does actually boost performance (not to the extent of what it really should i.e. the act of seeding will boost ~5-10%, but the act of ramping the governor will improve it by another 90-95%?). Just to remove one factor from testing.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] chitose_ndy:
Reading all of ur posts.

Seeder is completely complicated :eek:

Anyway, ive installed this seeder.

And i can tell that my phone's lil bit faster..

And i dont see battery drain really that dramatic..

I mean of course the battery will be worse if we install seeder.. but i think the battery drain isnt that much as i imagined before..

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pikachu01:
Which Seeder is complicated? The original Seeder or the ScreenState Seeder?

Yeah, as long as battery drain is optimal (i.e. almost not noticeable, it's good).

There isn't a renice part in the script. It's disabled.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] amao10:
question

after I installed this mod, I checked the random entropy app and it is around 200 below.. am I doing something wrong? because when I use cross breeder and seeder, the value was around 4k and up...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pikachu01:
As mentioned, this doesn't seed the /dev/random, seeding it is useless. Doesn't do anything. It won't increase the entropy at all as increasing it won't increase performance. What it is doing is it increases, CPU ramp up faster, a side effect of seeding, which is the main point of how Seeder increases performance, not by seeding /dev/random, but triggering I/O transactions that loads the CPU.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hoholee12:
i modified your script a little bit before flashing.

i think renice does help alot, maybe experimenting with renice command may take a bit more advantage than tuning governors which may eat up some more battery:)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pikachu01:
Actually I've experimented with renice previously. Unless it's done for system critical processes, having apps that are reniced just eats up resources (cpu time slices) meant for other apps. Remember, resources just don't pop up from thin air, they are time shared. If you prioritize some app over another, that other app will suffer lags. Please learn a bit more about renice before commenting that something is good.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hoholee12:
If i keep renicing foreground apps to higher priority and background apps to lower priority every loop, i think it would be awesome. What do you think?:)

뷁
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pikachu01:
That is bad as well. Background apps need resources as well. If you do that, restoring background apps will slow to a halt as CPU time is prioritized to the foreground app.

If you mean background processes like pdflush, impeding them will cause memory problems the longer pdflush is impeded.

Android uses cgroups to handle background processes. Read more here:

Hello,

I am planning on buying a Nexus 4, and I read something about rev 10 and 11.

Their response was that it was rev 10.5.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:

Hi guys!

My S3 phone was falled into water for a very short time, but the water indicator remain intact, so it is possible to send to the warrantly. My phone was covered a casemate protective shell so the water cause a very little damage, but the mainboard possible damaged anyway.

The phone isn't booting, i can only enter the downloader and the recovery mode.

I can flash any firmware with odin and custom recovery, but the phone cant boot.

My flash counter is currently at number 5.

There is a way to reset the flash counter using odin or the CWM recovery?

I cant use triangle away app because the phone wont boot, but i can install any CWM zip or odin tar file, or i can even adb to the phone while in the CWM.

Any help will be greatful.

Can someone tell me if the partitioning for a Gingerbread S2 work with a Jelly Bean ROM. I can build a PIT file off my Dads galaxy S2 which has never been touched. Not sure what it looks like yet as I need to get hold of him (and his phone).

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hutchism:
Thanks for digging that out for me pacmanman! I did also manage to find one for download over at Droidevelopers.com. If anyone needs pit's for future reference they have a good selection www . droidevelopers.com /f363/11722-%5Bdownload%5D-ops-pit-files.html

^Wouldn't let me post the link ^^^^

Turns out that my tables are as they should be so no cause for concern. Just a little user error on my part. Wouldn't let me write the BOOT partition, so I just left it out. To be honest I don't really understand the partitions on these things. I thought the boot partition was required, but its 0 in size. Never paid any attention to it in the past.

BIG WARNING. IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING WITH PIT FILES THEY WILL LIKELY KILL YOUR PET RABBIT!!!!!!

Big thumbs up for Heimdall. Easy once you know how ;)

Incidentally this was my useage:

Open 2 terminals or 1 and copy the partition lists into a text editor for reference.

"heimdall" on its own gives you the useage and options

"sudo heimdall print-pit" gives the partitions on your phone as shown in the original post.

Reference the partition names with the files in the ROM as shown below.

"sudo heimdall flash --SBL1 Sbl.bin --PARAM param.lfs --KERNEL zImage --CACHE cache.img --MODEM modem.bin --FACTORYFS factoryfs.img --HIDDEN hidden.img --verbose --no-reboot"

If anyone wants to correct me on the above please be my guest, as I just used it as surmised.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
Your command looks perfect to me.

BTW. Heimdall/Samsung is using boot.bin and BOOT as names for the primary boot loader (and normally you shouldn't need to flash this), while on other systems boot-partition / boot.img is exactly that what Heimdall/Samsung is calling KERNEL / zImage
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hutchism:
Aaah, thank you. Excuse my ignorance, but is it reporting the block size to be 0 because it uses less than a full block for BOOT?

How do I go about writing the boot image to BOOT as I still seem to have clockworkmod on this partition and Heimdall brings up an error for this partition, assumedly because the BOOT partition is Read-Only?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
SGS2 stores kernel and recovery combined in the kernel partition, i.e. the zImage (which is flashed to kernel partiyion) is for booting the rom as for launching recovery.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hutchism:
I hear you there, but it seems there are actually 2 bootloaders?

i,e, there can be 2 different versions of clockworkmod installed at the same time. One is called by pressing the combination at boot. The other can be called by restarting the phone into.

After flashing the phone it restarted into a broken version of clockworkmod (similarly this same version would be called from if you have the option in android to restart in recovery mode). Switching the phone off and on again had me booting into Android, while using UP, HOME + POWER had me at the default Android recovery menu.

Quite strange....:confused:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
Probably you have flashed one "new" kernels, I.e. Philz 4.93 or something like that. These have the possibility to boot different kernels depending on the buttons you are pressing when recovery is started. I didn't look very deep into that new feature yet, but as you describe your phones behaviour it must be something like that. Probably the 'second' kernel is again a kernel having CWM included so that your phone boots sometimes into one and other times into the other CWM.

Edit: no, I was wrong, it s not, that a different kernel is started, but you can define some boots scripts which will be executed on startup. Nevertheless also from here you can start CWM it provocate strange behavior.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Misterjunky:
re: return to stock

It's not a problem now and it won't be a problem when new firmware comes out either but if you want to flash

your phone back to stock so it will allow the Samsung OTA upgrade in your phone follow these steps carefully.

Here is the step by step guide:

After you have followed these instructions your phone will be in the same condition as it was the day you purchased it.

Download the stock T999 firmware: http://www.hotfile.com/dl/179444770/6dc329c/T999UVDLJA_T999TMBDLJA_TMB.zip.html

After downloading it make a folder on your desktop and unzip the file

using Winzip or 7zip so the .TAR file is in the new folder you just made.

Here is a link for ODIN which is required for flashing the stock rooted firmware (a windows app) http://d-h.st/Q14

Download and extract Odin into the same folder you made containing the TAR file.

Download the firmware of T999 Tmobile odin flash firmware

Run Odin by double clicking the Odin.exe within the same folder as the TAR file you extracted

Turn off your phone and boot into

DOWNLOAD MODE

(Volume Down + Home + Power Hold until phone powers up, then release and press Volume Up to enter Download Mode)

Once in Download Mode, connect the USB/Charger cable to the phone and plug into the USB port on your computer.

You should now see a COM** port listed toward the top-left of Odin (under ID:COM)

Click on the PDA button in the middle-right area of Odin.

Browse to and select the FW you downloaded (TAR file)

Make sure Auto-Reboot and F. Reset Time are the only options checked and that PDA is the only other thing checked.

TRIPLE CHECK your settings and that you have selected the correct firmware for your model phone and are using the correct options.

If you are using a laptop, make absolutely sure you are plugged in, or if on battery, that it is charged enough and will not go into sleep mode during flash.

Click Start to begin the flash. This will take a while, so be patient!

Once complete, in the top-left box in Odin, it will say PASS and the phone should have automatically rebooted.

You may unplug the phone and close Odin if you wish.

Wait at least 5-10 minutes for the system to boot the first time and then build its cache! (It may seem to hang during boot, this is normal and you must be patient!!!)

Good Luck!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] IXChicharitoXI:
Did you triangle away before going back to stock? That takes away how many times the phone has been modified and makes it normal.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Towle:
Triangle away resets the flash counter, it doesn't remove modified status. After you Odin back to stock, you need to do a factory reset (sometimes 2) to change your status back to normal.

Thanks Guys will purchase the triangle away... This time
