Under settings the third item is "data". It tells you what's using data and how much it's using. If you're on a strict data diet I HIGHLY recommend checking it often. You can even set limits and usage warnings. I have unlimited and thank God because I use at least 1 gig a week. I'm constantly streaming music. I noticed that "Google now" and "maps" is sucking up more data than it use too.

[LG Optimus 2x] Diljinder:
Flashed this CM10 based ROM yesterday. Found that 2 key features that were baked into system in previous release are missing from this release.

First is Overclocking/underclocking of CPU through Settings->Performance. Now this options is missing altogether from the list.

Though this drawback can be mitigated by using Trickster Mod or similar app.

And second one is the option to "customize auto-brightness settings". There are some apps in the store that promise similar utility, but they never worked for me. This option wasn't needed if auto-brightness levels were not as super low as they are in this release.

Anyone noticed this?
[LG Optimus 2x] pengus77:
1) I removed the CPU Settings because they're limited and don't work with this device as they should (Tegra needs a different kind of love).

2) I removed the auto brightness settings because they rely on the light sensor exposed to the rom... which we don't have. All the auto brightness is handled in the kernel (on ICS as on CM) so every operation in that menu is basically a no-op.

For 1, use CPU Adjuster or Trickster Mod from the market and you get a load more options that are guaranteed to work.

And for 2, check my kernel thread. You can mod the auto-brightness settings via sysfs, or wait a bit until wfd adds that feature to Kowalski Manager ;)

Hope this clarifies why those two things are gone ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] Diljinder:
Thanks for clarification. I appreciate it.

Hi there, I'm running doomkernel v06 and xperia revolution rom on my xperia z.

everythings running smoothly but i can only select the wheatley, ondemand, performance and interactive cpu governors and cant change clock settings for the gpu but i'm mostly wanting to try other governors as they seem one of the oeasier ways to lower battery drain and boost performance for relatively little tinkering.

I was wondering if there was any way to install governors or another kernel for the z with more features.

I apologise if this has been asked before, I've looked all over google and couldnt find anyway to get other governors.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

many thanks

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leoni1980:
I purchased a One off a friend which he told me had been rooted. I wasn't too keen on the idea but after looking in here it seemed moderately straightforward to get it back to factory settings again (but for the 'tampered' dialogue in the bootloader)

It is a SIM free model from Phones 4U in the UK so I figured I need the Europe RUU. I relocked the bootloader through fast boot but whenever I try to run RUU it freezes my computer up at the flashing stage (having taken sometimes up to TEN MINUTES just to open the app). Assuming it to be my old laptop I went to use my mum's PC and the same thing happens there. I have gotten as far as It saying 'boot loader' version error after an hour of waiting. Does this mean there is no RUU to flash my phone back to stock? And why is the RUU weighing down my phone so much?

Help would be terribly appreciated.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leoni1980:
Just an update here. I've unlocked the bootloader again and the original ROM is still present. It's Android Revolution HD.

The recovery is CWM v6.0.3.0

I really want to get back to stock again. Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? The guide said to relock the bootloader then flash the RUU but that is what got me in this position. I have two firmware files for Europe, neither of which work (boot loader error or something).

Does this mean that I am screwed with respect to ever getting this on stock firmware? It looks like there is no UK specific stock RUU nor even any nandroid ones.

If someone can help here I'd be really grateful.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
You need to check the firmware version on the device at present. There are no UK RUUs as UK falls under EU, any RUU which is x.xx 401.x applies. Having said that, chances are the lastest leaked RUU (1.28.401.7) will be old compared to your current version so it wouldn't work anyway

So all I've done is rooted my phone for wifi tether, but I'm ready to flash CM10 for a fresh experience. I am on Hboot 2.09 and the latest 3.16 software so I know CM10 won't work properly with obtaining s-off. I want to know if there is a good step by step video that will get me s-off for my exact set up for windows 7 64 bit? I am deathly afraid of bricking my phone. All the videos I've found out there are for the older software versions. Help anyone?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SoFaKiNgStOkeD:
The only question is how easy is it to install Super CID and do I really need it to make Facepalm work? Again I have Hboot 2.09 on the latest software.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jocarog:
supercid is the first step just folow the instructions it should be easy, you have to have supercid to do the Facepalm S-off method, I've never used it but by reading the instructions it seems to be easier that dirty racun, give it a try there is always somebody that can help you if you run into trouble...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] neilymon:
hey i just wanted to save you some trouble - i just obtained S-OFF on my phone yesterday. like you, i was on hboot 2.09 and the latest 3.16 software.

facepalm S-OFF method will not work for you.

i'm not entirely sure about the reason, but i believe it has to do with the 3.16 software, which prevents you from changing the CID on the device (any attempt forces the phone to reboot). unfortunately, that means the first three lines of facepalm's method (giving you superCID) won't work, and thus the rest of it won't work either. i tried several methods of getting superCID on 3.16 before finally giving up.

unfortunately, that means you have to use dirtyracun / babyracun to downgrade in order to get S-OFF.

it's a bit more work, especially for me since i had to find a computer with a CD writer, burn a linux cd, and then use the same computer to boot into linux since mine doesn't even have a CD drive. but the instructions are easy enough to follow once you boot into linux.

sorry for the hassle, lmk if i can help with anything.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SoFaKiNgStOkeD:
Okay so I burned the Live CD and am ready to go, but the the dirty racoon instructions on the website are far from simple, not to mention Linux is like Japanese to me. Yes I would greatly appreciate some help so I don't brick my phone. I use my phone for work so its even more imperative that I can use my phone after this process. Can you help with the first few steps? Thanks.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] neilymon:
sure, i'd be more than happy to help. i followed the instructions step by step and nothing happened to my phone. linux feels a little foreign at first, but ubuntu is pretty user-friendly - and besides, there's a lot of people here to help you out.

again, before you start:

1) make sure you have a microSD card in your phone

2) make sure it's charged close to full

after you boot into linux:

1) first open firefox on the left side, and load up this webpage so you can post with any questions:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=41873127#post41873127

2) download dirty racun from the unlimited.io page:

http://unlimited.io/jewel.htm

3) then go into the file folder and create a new folder inside your Downloads folder named DirtyRacun (make sure it's the Linux Downloads folder, you'll know it's the right one if you see the the RabiesShot_LINUX.tgz file.

let me know when you've gotten that far

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JManekia:
Thanks, but I am trying to open the terminal window from the dirtyracun folder. Step 4 says to CD into the folder and run a command.

I googled it and I type in sudo apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal but it gives me a message saying unable to locate package nautilus etc

---------- Post added at 01:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 PM ----------

Cool. But I am unable to run the command that is required by unlimited.IO.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] neilymon:
sorry for the late response. i was getting lunch.

if you extracted dirtyracun into the downloads folder properly, the following commands should work for you.

1) launch terminal (click the ubuntu button, type "terminal" without quotes)

2) type "cd Downloads" (again without quotes)

3) type "cd DirtyRacun"

4) type "chmod 755 RabiesShot adb fastboot"

how far can you get?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JManekia:
I saved and extracted into the dirtyracun folder and after the last command, I get nothing
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] neilymon:
if all you get is a blank line (no error messages or anything), it worked.

keep going with step 5:

http://unlimited.io/jewel.htm

tell me if you have any problems.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JManekia:
I don't get a blank line, but I get the "/Downloads/DirtyRacun$" again

I go to the next step just to see if I am connected and I check the mainver with my phone in Fastboot USB and type in the command

sudo ./fastboot getvar mainver

I get message saying not detected.

Just so you know, I am unlocked with recovery and all, I am just trying to RUU down to 3.15 so that I can use Facepalm to get S-Off. And I appreciate you trying to help me. I was S-off before using dirtyracun and I did it with windows before they decided to go all linux. I had to lock and take my phone to sprint for service and now I am back at it.

Just realized, I don't have HTC drives installed in Ubuntu. Is that required?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] neilymon:
sorry for not being clear, when i said "blank line" i actually meant getting the same prompt as before, i.e. "/Downloads/DirtyRacun$". so that command worked.

is your phone on and connected to your computer? try restarting it in bootloader mode (restart, and hold down the volume down button while it's booting up), select fastboot, and try the getvar mainver command again.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JManekia:
Ill try that but I have to step out for a bit. Thanks again for helping really appreciate it. Ill get to it hopefully tonight.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] neilymon:
follow these instructions:

1) download the ubuntu 12.04 LTS (32-bit) iso file to your C: drive:

http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop

2) download MagicISO:

http://www.magiciso.com/download.htm

3) Open Magic ISO, and click the CD icon (6th from the left?) to open the "Burn CD!" dialog

4) Under CD Image File, choose C:/ubuntu-whatever.iso (assuming you downloaded it to the C:)

5) Burn it! I'd go ahead and "Finalize CD" too, but that's optional.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jaysonpeyton:
Did u have to buy magic iso ?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] neilymon:
not at all. the free/unregistered version does the job just fine. uninstall it afterwards if you want.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JManekia:
Alright, so my phone says Fastboot USB and I am typing the following command in the terminal

sudo ./fastboot getvar mainver

I get command not found. I am thinking I am missing drivers or something?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] neilymon:
that's odd. you're still in the /Downloads/DirtyRacun directory in the terminal right?

EDIT: also, have you already unlocked your phone through htcdev?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xuxBubbles:
If you completed steps 1-11 of the unlimited.IO instructions you should now be back to 3.15

Once the RUU is finished you are back to 3.15....just need to unlock and proceed to the Facepalm method. You can check your mainver when you get back over to Windows with adb if its not working for you in Linux.

----This is the method I used----

After the RUU took me back to the stock ROM I flashed back to Deck's version of CM10.1 and then proceeded to Facepalm. I had no issues doing this, but some have reported that they were requested to activate their phones after doing the Facepalm with a custom ROM.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] neilymon:
he's on step 5 of the unlimited IO instructions.

also, by the time he gets to step 11, he might as well just do the last four steps, no real need to switch to Facepalm at that point.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xuxBubbles:
true...i just ran into issues after step 11 so i just jumped over to Facepalm. I'm not the best Linux user.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JManekia:
My phone is unlocked. But I wasn't under the directory in the terminal, which would explain it. So all the process will be done under this directory? That makes sense. Also, I realized I was using 64bit ubuntu livecd, so I am making 32bit and work with that, which hopefully will go smoothly.

Thanks again for your help.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] neilymon:
okay, you should be in good shape now that you're in the right directory (and once you boot into 32 bit linux, i don't think the RabiesShot utility would work otherwise).

i should've assumed you unlocked your phone - the only reason i asked is because it was a possible explanation for the fastboot command not working. glad to help!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] djfeas001:
Hey guys, hope everyone is having a good day so far.

Last night I finally got around to working on my device as the 3.16 update reallllly upset me.

Havign some trouble in making good progress.

Im not sure I can t el lteh difference between definitions and purposes of certain procedures.

From what I gather though, I need to have S-OFF (currently S-ON) in order to change the bootloader into a ROM. But in order to S-OFF, my phone has to be unlocked. In order to be unlocked it has to be pre-2.09, and inorder for THAT the phone has to be unlocked. This is a very complex circle. What is the order here? I want my phone to be useful again.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] neilymon:
i'll try to help with some of your confusion:

- you don't need S-OFF to flash a ROM to your device. however, it does help to be S-OFF (for many ROMs), and it's also necessary to do a few other things like flashing radios HBOOTs.

- more importantly, you definitely need to have your bootloader unlocked in order to flash a ROM (which does not require S-OFF).

you don't have to be "pre-2.09" or anything like that to be unlocked; instead, the fact that you're on thee 3.16 software and 2.09 HBOOT means you'll need to use Linux and the dirtyracun method to gain S-OFF.

but first things first: unlock your bootloader. follow this guy's video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyRxI15CUnA

after you're done with that, root your phone:

http://youtu.be/Y7-dAlaJL2I

let us know if you have any problems.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] djfeas001:
Thanks for the quick response. Im REALLY excited about making this work!

Install ADK packages: Check

HTCDev Account setup: Check

Phone connected to PC: Check

Get tokens: Check

And this was where I was having issues before. I dont know what I changed to make the token list populate.

Okay, got the token submitted and ran the bin file, restarted into bootloader and YAY! Unlocked!

However,

"Main Version is older!

Update Fail!

Press <POWER> to reboot."

Is this going to be a problem?

EDIT: Okay I disocovered that the message was given because I had mixed the steps around and put the .img TWRP on the sd card. I guess its not time for that lol.

One thing I would liek to know, is when do I use the unlimited.io/jewel process on this? These instructions dont specify to my liking which might have been why I was having problems.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] neilymon:
you don't do the unlimited.io steps until you root your phone. after you root, you probably don't even need to get S-OFF, but let's do it anyways since it's not really a lot of work.

were you able to gain root (i.e. flashing superSU)?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] djfeas001:
I downloaded a file that was located on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2026938

"3.15_RUU_PLUS_ROOT.zip" for **HBOOT 2.09** ONLY because I figured I was at 3.16 and Im trying to flash (correct word?) back to 3.15.

The root did work, as confirmed by the SuperSU app located on my app table.

So far, no hitch.

What next?
