First you need Root Explorer app. Go to C:\System\apps folder. Press the "Mount R/W" button on the upper right side of the screen. Delete apps you don't need. For example Gmail or Exchange service.

Warning: Don't delete apps you don't know what they are. The most critical apps are there and if you delete them you're device may misbehave.

Why don't you want to switch to JB? There you have still ~300 Mbyte RAM, and your phone is much smoother (just my opinion).
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daf_1991:
System apps folder contains application that use ROM..not RAM..

What you were explaining is to increase the size of ROM but not the RAM.. CMIIW..
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duke_dreadmoore:
Yes, I mean the RAM.. not internal memory.. I stated in the OP, I deleted many system apps already.

Is JB worth to try? Is it smoother than stock GB? I hardly can believe that JB is smoother, because naturally JB needs dual core and 1GB ram..
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daf_1991:
i tried JB once before and never wanted to try it anymore. Maybe because i chose wrong/still underdevelopment ROM. :laugh:

I can't say which one is smoother though as it really depends on what apps you have.

Personally i use the UHD ROM by jader13254 and it's working really good and smooth.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Someguyfromhell:
Android uses some of the RAM, you just don't see it.

I recommend controlling your app's autoruns, can be modified in Autorun Manager or Autostarts in Playstore. there's no problem in removing system apps. I uninstalled also Market Updater, Search Applications Provider(20MB Ram-used for ads, recommendations to you by play store), AccessoryKeyDispatcher, i don't remember others

Apps I also removed but not really advisable: Customization Settings, DownloadAgent, UserAgentProvider, Customized App Installer

or If you want higher ram, adjust vm.dirty_ratio=70, vm.dirty_background_ratio=50, vm.vfs_cache_pressure=10. (higher ram but laggy, i recommend dirty_ratio to be 95 and dirty_background_ratio=60)

I have LT15i and my phone can play Dungeon Hunter 4, Bladeslinger, MC4 with no lag and no oc.:cool:

Ive got a BT338 GPS Receiver and trying to get it going on two rooted KFHD 7" both have KFHD xSettings installed

One on FW 7.4.3 and one on FW 7.4.1- tried them both with de.mobilej and Bluetooth GPS Provider.

The KFHD 7" on FW 7.4.3, this one connects to the Bluetooth device, however no satellites can be seen to have been detected, also Google maps and navigation both report "Searching for GPS" even though Blutooth GPS reports as active!

The KFHD 7" on FW 7.4.1 this one cannot connect to bluetooth device ??

If I launch GPSHunt, on either of them - this does not see any satellites either :(

All the usual stuff is turned on -

Location based services ON

Allow Mock Locations ON

Tried a few different permutations nothing seems to work for me, the frustrating part is that everything on the FW 7.4.3 seems to work okay standalone but wont just come together I cant understand why it will connect to the bluetooth receiver but not detect satellites, even though the receiver is reporting that satellites are detected (slow blinking green light).

Any help or advice appreciated

Thanks

Thanks for the reply Pitcrawler, I have a BT338 GPS Receiver and a Tomtom Mk II blue tooth I cant get to work :( the blue tooth devices can be paired but the kindle wont detect any statilites ? I'm not sure if its something to do with the kindle being set to use wireless as GPS, if any one could give me a pointer on how to disable the wireless GPS function in the kindle it would be peachy..

@ Brandonrz Bluetooth GPS.. you have an external Blurtooth GPS device and a Kindle with Bluetooth capability, so you pair the two devices, the kindle can then use the mapping software, ie google navigation and the the external blue tooth gps reciever will provide the needed satilites to make the live tracking / route tracing system work. hth

[Sprint LG Optimus G] KUmike:
Welcome to the Optimus G. It sounds like you got a phone that needs the "Special Unlock". This is not a method available to the general public. You will need to go to IRC and ask Shelnutt2 for it. Good luck!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Mindspin_311:
Stories like this make me not want to root/unlock.

I know the basics, but I dont know much beyond that. I would feel pretty stranded if some sort of soft-brick, etc occurred.

Rooting my OG EVO was simple as simple could get.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] BMP7777:
I'm just as nervous, but I'm not gonna let this damn thing get the best of me. Already made some progress. As I figure it out, I plan to offer another listing for how to accomplish this goal. I don't think we need YET ANOTHER thread about it though. Probably ask one of the others to add whatever makes mine work to their existing OP. I think part of the problem is too many different ways to do this that are only verified as working by a few; or many up until a recent time. Maybe the latest LG update is part of it as well.....:confused:
[Sprint LG Optimus G] GeekasaurusWrex:
I know this feel all too well. On my third LGOG and I was able to properly rot/unlock. I'm more of a visual learner so learning using text only was a pain in my ass(weird right?) But I am way to skeptical to flash a new ROM and the ROM I want to use(Paranoid Android) was just recently ported so I'll stick with Stock rooted for now.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Shelnutt2:
Actually not anymore, since I rewrote the freegee app, it's built into it. On the main screen press menu -> sbl unlock. Follow the directions, read everything, then after you enter the code, unlock like normal. This method is guarnteeed to always work, however there is some additional risks involved and only a small subset of optimusg owners need it, that is why it is not the default method.

That is wrong, it's vol up + vol down + have the usb plugged in + power and they will get you to download mode. Fastboot mode is only avaliable when unlocked and that is vol down + power .
[Sprint LG Optimus G] BMP7777:
Tried the Freegee again but the softbrick was the result. I didn't find the sbl unlock, it must be in the paid version. Waiting for a new bank card to come in the mail is the only reason I haven't coughed up the buck. Was able to get into download mode easily and restore using LGNPST. No fastboot or recovery access though......back to the drawing board. Makes me wonder if the last one was really broken or I was too dumb to figure it out.:p
[Sprint LG Optimus G] EFEXR:
I believe the SBL unlock method in the freegee app is there, you just have to hit the menu button (I think).
[Sprint LG Optimus G] BMP7777:
Ran LGNPST again and acheived unlock. Good to go.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Shelnutt2:
Glad to hear it, and fyi as in the description on the play store, the free and paid versions are 100% the same minus the name change.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] RayTrue04:
I was considering trading my Note 2 for two OG's but reading this scares me a lil. Is it really that bad to root this thing?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Shelnutt2:
Nope not at all. Rooting and unlocking is pretty easy for 99% of the phones out there.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] RayTrue04:
Have you ever owned an Evo? Rooting and unlocking is not always easy lol
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Shelnutt2:
By phones I was meaning optimus g's :)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] BMP7777:
Rooting this device is easy. Unlocking was a bit more detailed but in the end, just as easy. Still not certain if my issues were genuine or user error, but I will assume it was me. Make sure you read the instructions over and over before you begin. I have been doing this for a long time so I may have gotten caught up in thinking I knew all there was to know and not paying close enough attention to the details. Thanks to fiddy619, engine95, and especially Shellnutt2 for making these tools and taking time to offer assistance. Use fiddys tool for rooting, then buy and install Freegee for unlocking. If you have issues with Freegee, use the two-button plug method of accessing download mode(press and hold both volume buttons while plugging in the USB), and then use the LGNPST tool with teenybins for unlocking and/or repairs. These are the steps that worked for me without hassle; your experience may vary......:p

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AskingAlex:
Okay, so this is an *extra* noobish question, but I just wanted to be 100% sure of things before I did anything.

Is it safe to flash CM 10.1 from Android 4.0.4? My Galaxy S2 isn't wanting to update to 4.1.2 from 4.0.4 for whatever reason, but seeing as CM 10.1 will be a clean flash, will it matter?

I didn't think it would have, seeing as (from what I understand) it completely replaces the OS, but I just wanted to check before doing anything, just in case. After all, I don't really want to do anything to my phone like that without being 100% sure on everything first :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
I had 4.0.4 and went to cm 9 them to cm10.1 nightly. Just flash and wipe cache and dalv in cwm then reboot. Dont full wipe :D

After cm installed you can full wipe.

Make sure flash is successful to cm befor full wipe.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1Chef:
As your on 4.0.4 flash a custom kernel like siyah before you do anything and don't wipe data in cwm.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hannibal226:
Hey buddy,

!!!first of all please just do a Backup of all, so that u always (99% of cases) can go back.!!!

!!!That for backup all apps and save them backuped folder and all other important files to PC!!!

After that u should root ur phone (CWM comes with it - replaces the recovery mode)

the un can copy all files to sd card and can flash the zip's BUT only with a full factory reset. (this is the most reason for problems alter on)

For more infos please check the newbie sections.

PS: This is only the easiest and fastest way. This maybe isn't the most secure one, as u dodn't update the android version before etc...

But it should work anyway :P

PPS: An exactly guide for flashway u find in my supported i9100 RootBox-thread (signature) in my Help-Index [FLASH]

CHEERS ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AskingAlex:
Right, so I've already flashed Siyah V5.0.1 Kernel, and have made a backup of my data using CWM.

Hmm, should I just install the CM 10.1 using the CWM Rom installer? Or would this not work seeing as I'm not running the latest version of my phone?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hannibal226:
As I said it should work.

Keep in mind to do the full wipe and flash Gapps after rom.

Much success

[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] diabloescobar:
So I'm loving this One, but some of the stock apps I'm not liking (primarily MMS, mail, browser, keyboard, launcher)

I've installed Nova, Chrome, Swiftkey, chomp, and gmail, which are doing a great job of replacing and I've nearly got the phone in a good place.

My problem is that the Sense lockscreen still shows the stock apps, including indicators for new text messages i've already read via chomp. Now that I'm using Nova Launcher, I can't figure out how to modify the sense lockscreen to change the apps that are at the base there.

Almost all of this is being done because while I like blinkfeed enough, I already use Flipboard and don't want that as my initial screen and it seems like Sense isn't going to allow us to have a more traditional homescreen with blinkfeed to the left or right. I'm also not a huge fan of swapping between modes of blinkfeed+icons and traditional home screen.

I'm posting this here in T-mo General looking for advice because flashing another ROM isn't an option for me. My understanding is that flashing a ROM will lose the wifi calling capability, and that is really important for me. What would you guys do?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] elterible:
You should only lose wifi calling if you flash a AOSP based ROM. I understand that you want to "de-sense" you're phone so an AOSP ROM would be your best bet.

This phone is brand new so development is still slow right now but I bet you should start seeing some Sense-based ROM's without all the Sense bloat start popping up soon

In regards to your lockscreen issue, have you looked into using a lockscreen replacement like WidgetLocker?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] SmiLey497:
Did you replace the icons in the dock on Rosie (Sense launcher).
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] jonathan3579:
I'm still using the Sense launcher and my lockscreen shows what I have on my dock.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] cb474:
Won't you potentially also lose some camera and other specialized functionality relative to the hardware?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] elterible:
That is correct. You will just have stock android camera without Zoe and all that jazz

I usually always go AOSP but I really like the camera features here. Gonna be a tough call
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] s1lenz:
You will lose wifi calling if you flash a non-tmobile rom, like one of the M7 HTC One roms or an AT&T rom.

Is it possible to flash the camera apk? is there a camera apk or is it part of sense itself?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] elterible:
I'm gonna take an educated guess based on my experience with Samsung. Usually custom camera apps are deeply integrated in custom android versions (sense, tw, etc). You can pull the apk and may even get it to install but my guess is that it will FC
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Prod1702:
If you look in the AT&T sub forum of the One, there is a ahpla of CM10.1 which means that CM10.1 is being worked on right now for the One. I am sure it will work with all HTC Ones once it is done. I would give it a month or two and we should be pretty good off. It is still really early in the game.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] robyr:
This is an excellent looking case.

http://www.stmbags.com/catalog/samsung-case/cape-samsung-galaxy-note-8/

I have so far had nothing but spectacular results from STM's products, and I am super happy to see them supporting Samsung devices more and more.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] pluginalong:
That is really interesting. Thanks for sharing! :)

A couple of thoughts, observations and questions:

The fabric looks like a potentially nice alternative to the PU Leather that many cases use, and I would think/hope that it might hold up better. Do you or others have any experience with cases of this material (from this maker)?

I like that the fabric provides some water resistance. PU Leather probably does too, but I would guess water would more quickly damage PU Leather.

I wonder if the fabric will attract lint or dirt/dust easily and/or how easy it is to keep clean?

The "loop" enclosure is intriguing. Does anyone have any experience with this approach,and if so, I'd be interested in how well it performs regarding: a) Ease of use for opening and closing, and b) Effectiveness for the "viewing modes" (ie, stand positions)?

I'd love to see some pictures of the "viewing modes" / stand positions, if anyone comes across any.

It does not mention wake/sleep functionality, which is a deal breaker for many (probably myself included). Does anyone know if this maker tends to support wake/sleep?

I just did a quick search on the STM site and I saw that an iPad case supported wake/sleep, and there's also some pics of the "viewing modes" which are probably similar to how the Cape will work: http://www.stmbags.com/catalog/laptop-accessories/skinny-ipadmini/. However, since the Cape does not mention wake/sleep that doesn't bode well (unless it is just an oversight that they don't mention it).
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] robyr:
It's too early to tell on the sleep/wake functions, but I am guessing it likely will. I've sent an email to STM asking about it.

As for the fabric, the fabric is insanely good. I have a laptop bag made of the same material, and water just rolls off it. It also stays very clean. It's basically ripstop-nylon.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] pluginalong:
Great--I look forward to hearing what you learn! And thanks for doing that!

I really like the sound of that! :D

I'm still not sure what I think of the "loop" enclosure method. I just watched a video of the iPad case (that I previously linked to) and I think I (and others) might have a different definition of "quick and easy access" (as I watched the presenter take several seconds to pull the loop out and open the case). Having said that though, if one is primarily using the loop for when closing the case for travel and/or for the viewing modes that feels a bit different (and it is probably more secure than a lot of other cases). But the thought of messing with that loop every time I opened/closed the case doesn't feel very appealing.

Well, I do hope the case supports wake/sleep because if it does it will definitely make my list of contenders. :)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] roustabout:
I'd sure like to see what the hold-down mechanism looks like.

Last night I finally got two cases I'd ordered, a 5 buck case from Exact Deals and a 15 buck case from iBlason.

Both are annoying to work with given the capacitive buttons (and the blason case also interferes with the front camera.)

The e-d case is one of the ones where you drop the device into a sleeve inside a book cover. It doesn't do sleep/wake and there's a bit of a gap along the closing spine - not a great fit.

The blason case uses a total of 6 leather wrapped metal "fingers" to hold the device into the back. 6, because the two closest to the spine are detached if you want to use the ribs on the inside front cover as supports in landscape easel mode.

I took sidecutters and cut two of the fingers off, since one was interfering with the back button and one was interfering with the camera. That said, you can easily easel the device spine up rather than on the inside cover and I like the case better overall, at least until the Poetic slimline's available.

exact deal:

http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-BaseBo...Y4BM/ref=aag_m_pw_dp?ie=UTF8&m=A29LLD0WGS56WE

iBlason:

http://www.amazon.com/i-Blason-Sams...DEMS/ref=aag_m_pw_dp?ie=UTF8&m=A209HAH4Z0MGU9

But be aware - Exact Deal has a very similar or identical case (which I didn't see until just now) for 5 bucks. Ah, well.

The Poetic Slimline's not available til mid-May and I'd already done my own drop test twice (4 feet, onto a wood floor, minor scratch on the camera lens, oops) - I'm just glad to have a case at all, even if it's not a good one. I can try 5 more before I've spent as much as Samsung wanted to charge.

IMO, Samsung should be charging much less for this device. And they will, too - the galaxy player 5 started retailing at 269, and apparently now lists at 219.00.

Or if they want to charge 400, they should throw in some kind of case and the device should be available in 32 gig and 64 gig configurations - no reason for a tablet to have a 16 gig base at this time, especially when it's coming from one of the largest memory manufacturers in the world.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] pluginalong:
Thanks for sharing your experiences with those two! :) I'd looked at them both previously but wasn't sure what I thought (though the i-Blason has definitely appealed more to me than the e-d).

If you mean for the Cape then I suggest that you have a look at the following (which is for iPad, and which I mentioned above, but seems to be of a similar design):

http://www.stmbags.com/catalog/laptop-accessories/skinny-ipadmini/

There's also a short video on that page that I found helpful in getting a feel for how the Cape might function.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] pluginalong:
I just saw that STM has added a bunch more pictures of their Cape:

http://www.stmbags.com/catalog/samsung-case/cape-samsung-galaxy-note-8/

No mention of Wake/Sleep functionality though. :( I'll be really disappointed and confused if they chose to omit wake/sleep as that would seem like such a big oversight in my opinion.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] purple_zergling:
I don't know if you contacted Poetic but I was wondering when the slimline I ordered late April would ship. They offered me a refund since they didn't make the original May 1st date or to just hang in until it ships. The latest the informed me it should ship is May 20th.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] pluginalong:
I had emailed STM last week to ask some questions about some of their bags and so I also asked about the Cape case for the Note 8 regarding whether it supports wake/sleep or not. I just heard back from them and the Cape does not support wake/sleep. I'm very bummed as this otherwise seems like a really good case. :(
