[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] immerblind:
thats not really true, what dully posted there, also with a light theme you can use your phone with a lower screenbrightness than with a dark theme, thats my observations.

so no, not more battery drain with light theme...im using light themed rom since many weeks
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peter-k:
Yep. Especially outdoors a screen using a bright design remains better readable with lower brightness settings. The screen is by far the biggest user of battery power. With power considerations in mind a white screen is the best, except for OLED screens.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dully79:
Is that so. My dog has 4 legs.

Where did i mention it had an OLED screen?

The brighter the screen, the more power required to produce the brilliant whites which means the more power consumed.

I can testify to this after using a dark theme i switched to a light theme to improve sunlight legibility and my battery suffered so i switched back.

Either way i don't care, it's your phone, your battery, do what you want with it.:good:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peter-k:
I think the LCD backlight is always on, regardless black or white, and the LCD blocks the light for black pixels.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peter-k:
... and therefore the black screen even uses a few electrons more electricity. Unless it is an OLED.

And that's what immerblind wanted to say. I add we can reduce the brightness level by using a white theme. Just go outside and read a black screen with white font, and then switch to a black font screen. 10 - 20 % lower display brightness is possible, much better than any battery app with there best feature being the marketing.

And Tide washes even whiter than white!

Building a "chroot" is very easy in Debian. According to http://wiki.debian.org/chroot, you just need following steps.

sudo apt-get install debootstrap
mkdir chroot
sudo debootstrap --arch i386 wheezy chroot

copy all the contents in "chroot" to the prepared sd partation, say the partation is "/dev/block/mmcblk1p2" and the mount point is "/mnt/debian".

run

busybox chroot /mnt/debian /bin/bash

to enter debian enviroment. In fact, to make the chroot environment more useable, you must add some mount point to the new root, read attached script for more. Thanks [MENTION=4734723]Robbilie[/MENTION] for his original work.

If you want to use a normal user under chroot enviroment, you must add the user to a specific group to use the network hardware. Its hard coded in android kernel.

# groupadd -g 3003 aid_inet
# usermod -G aid_inet new_user
[RAZR i Android Development] totex71:
Ehh. How will you install debootstrap with apt-get when that package manager isent available for our phone? :silly:
[RAZR i Android Development] Setarcos:
The procedure before copying files to sdcard is done in a PC with Debian installed. So you can prepare the root file system in PC, and copy file to the sd card using an USB adapter.

And this one
[HTC Droid DNA] uppon2:
Awesome! Another one :D Can you provide the Original Link to check it out mate or is this your own creation?
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
Op edited
[HTC Droid DNA] xlxcrossing:
So its AOSP in case anybody was wondering.
[HTC Droid DNA] uppon2:
Sweet looking ROM mate. I will check it out right now and report back. What kernel do you like to use with it?

In the credits it says Rootbox for base so I'm sure people would have worked that out unless they don't know what that means than they shouldn't be using this ROM anyway ;) :P
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
Lately I've just been sticking with the stock kernel because of all the changes that crpalmer and chad are making to the device/kernel tree, I'm not using their most up to date stuff until they get it solid that way people aren't going to get bugs and think its the Roms fault. Crpalmers 2.0.32 kernel should work but I haven't tested it
[HTC Droid DNA] uppon2:
Everything is running perfectly so far! - I am doing a deep battery test and will report back in 24 hours with results. Scrolls like a Linaro build!
[HTC Droid DNA] KyJelly69:
Speaking of linaro. Can this be compiled with linaro and would you ever consider such a thing?
[HTC Droid DNA] mike_augie:
do you use the regular gaps for this or the ones that the first OP links to ? I am sure this is a stupid question , but in the creator or the Illussions he says it is important to use his just making sure if someone can help me out...
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
I'm using pa-gapps but I'm sure any gapps will do just not a themed gapps package like midnight
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
Last time I tried to compile with linaro it broke the camera
[HTC Droid DNA] rohitece06:
I am guessing it has the same problem as CM10.1 when it comes to BT audio, volume level etc. Can somebody who is using this ROM chime in?
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
Yes because its based on the same device/kernel tree as cm10.1
[HTC Droid DNA] mike_augie:
Really loving this rom so far very buttery and smooth , no F/C , all seems to be pretty sweet , like the sms/mms.... thanks for getting this up for us , will donate soon , and hope you continue to support this ... very nice..... can you tell me how to get weather to show up on lock screen beside the time before you unlock and I did use the "slim" gapps that was in the original build in-case anyone else wondered and they work fine.. thanks again
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
Im pretty sure you can just add a weather widget to the lockscreen by either longpress the time and remove it or swipe screen right to add a widget. if thats what you mean, im not sure where the cLock settings are if thats the case
[HTC Droid DNA] itzjen:
Wow ! Excited to try out this Rom !
[HTC Droid DNA] pyroguysf:
[MENTION=3766545].torrented[/MENTION] Looks promising- what are your thoughts on this vs. your rootbox build? This sounds a little gimped at the moment without ROM Control or Hybrid Settings, but I haven't tried any recent cm builds since I've needed my phone to be flash and forget lately- went all the way back to Viper and forgot how nice it is to have a fully functional phone with tons'o'tweaks, lol. While I actually really like Sense (especially 5), I love AOSP and can't wait to switch back.
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
Personally I prefer Root-Box over Illusion just because it's more polished at the moment. I do believe that they are working on getting Rom Control and Hybrid Settings worked into Illusion.
[HTC Droid DNA] mike_augie:
only thing I have found so far is that the videos wont play on instant gram , running over 24 hours now with a random reboot or lock up ... but running smooth and great battery life with heavy to moderate usage ... very nice

hi all

i have the network issue and using ARIZA PATCH in order to have conectivity

(my baseband version is ARIZA_V[0.4]

now, in order to configur my work email i need to work with stock rom and without root

i am looking for a stock version that dos not update / change my baseband .

can anyone help ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
All stock releases include a baseband.

You can always flash a rooted odexed stock rom via cwm and remove root via the superuser app.

my work place work's with mobile iron email.

unistalling the root via superuser did not work for me :(

(root was detected via mobile iron)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Mobileiron detects /system/bin/su (the SU binary) so if it's not there, it shouldn't pick up root. Perhaps unroot hadn't happened properly. maybe it also detects custom recovery? Did you put it back to stock afterwards?

[HTC Jetstream] bean88:
Hi mates,

Lately I got myself a HTC Jetsteam since it seems to be one of the most cost-effective tablets who support stylus. It has the latest stock rom (htc_jetstream_emr_update_1.30.502.1_us.exe) installed, rooted through cwm. So far I'm happy with it. However one feature I miss most is the ability to mount network drive. As I coundn't find cifs module for this model, I decide to compile myself. I download the kernel source from htcdev(tried both "puccini_lte_crc-2.6.35-4612ecf.tar.gz" and "puccini_lte_crc-2.6.35-4612ecf.tar.gz").

I manage to compile the modules (on ubuntu and osx) however I couldn't insert them. It throw "insmod: init_module 'cifs.ko' failed (Exec format error)". It seems I mismatched the kernel. Anyone have a clue? I really appreciate it. It's been a frustrating weekend...
[HTC Jetstream] bean88:
I checked dmesg

the reason cifs.ko can't be insmod is:

<4>[ 7069.498929] cifs: Unknown symbol slow_work_register_user (err 0)

<4>[ 7069.499997] cifs: Unknown symbol slow_work_enqueue (err 0)

However no information in dmesg explains why slow-work.ko can't be insmod.

I attached files (kernel version: 2.6.35.10-g01487c4), maybe someone can give a try...

greetings
[HTC Jetstream] bean88:
My mistake. I ignored one warning while make the module - turns out it matters.

Now the cifs module works properly on my tablet. Feel free to try.

cheers
[HTC Jetstream] guru_shastri:
whats a cifs module?
[HTC Jetstream] finniest:
CIFS stands for common Internet file system. Samba utilizes this protocol for network file sharing. Many UNIX folks use Samba to access Windows files over their networks.

I am assuming that you can place these under /system/lib/modules and it will just work. Does anyone know any differently? I don't have a means of testing at the moment.

Normally on Linux you would insmod <module>, but the things are a little different on Android.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] davitdavtyan@gmail.com:
I recently wanted to flash the ICS 4.0.4 ROM to XT 910 (GSM UMTS) for Israel but did not succeed. And I am sure I did it a year ago and worked well but now I can only root. Even I made it worse. Now the internet does not work no matter what I do. I have tried different ROMs and this Motorola ROM flashing is just very difficult for me. Can anyone help me to guide through step by step flashing and with valid downloadable files ? Part of the thread files do not work for 2.3.6 I guess people went from 2.3.6 to Jelly Bean or ICS. But in Israel our carriers do not update from 2.3.6.

So i've done everything the guide has said and now my kfhd is showing the fastboot mode and i'm lost on what to do next. i have tried a few of the options in the KF first aide ( option 21 ) and nothing has happened. If anyone could give me some insight to some small issue i have overlooked i would appreciate it

Ping not recognized

Ok so i'm pretty sure i'm half way rooted i have busy box installer and the root checker in my app list.

The only thing i don't have is the superuser and I think this has to do with the line in the prompt which says 'ping' us bit recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. even though the root program continues to root and eventually says sucsess waiting on superuser nothing happens because i don't have super user to continue with. :confused:

[Android Apps and Games] fadwa.ww:
Hello all,

I have android 4.2.2 ,Nexus 4

I would like to setup adhoc network .

Firstly I rooted the device,

secondly I tried to create adhoc network in android phone :

I create ad hoc network in an android smartphone with this:

-------------------

shell@android:/ # ip link set dev wlan0 down

shell@android:/ # iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc

shell@android:/ # iwconfig wlan0 channel 6

shell@android:/ # iwconfig wlan0 essid 'Test1'

shell@android:/ # ip link set dev wlan0 up

shell@android:/ # ifconfig wlan0 192.168.65.129

---------------

when I typed iwconfig wlan0:

the result is:

result1:

-----------------

Qcom:802.11n ESSID:"Test1"

Mode:Ad-Hoc Frequency:2.437 GHz Cell: 02:82:5F:C1:4B:C1

Bit Rate=0 kb/s Tx-Power=0 dBm

RTS thr=2347 B Fragment thr=8000 B

Encryption key:off

--------------

Secondly, in my laptop ,I could see "Test1",so I did connect to "Test1" and I configure static ip address 192.168.65.128.

in this case ,the smartphone create the ad hoc network and my laptop join it,then I can ping from my laptop to mobile and vice-versa.

However,in other case when :

my laptop create ad hoc network

and later in an android mobile ,I tried to join it :

-----------------

shell@android:/ # iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc

shell@android:/ # iwconfig wlan0 channel 6

shell@android:/ # iwconfig wlan0 essid 'Test1'

------------

But,when I type iwconfig wlan0 ,essid still off/any

result2:

Qcom:802.11n ESSID:off/any

Mode:Ad-Hoc Frequency:2.437 GHz Cell: Not-Associated

Bit Rate:0 kb/s Tx-Power=0 dBm

RTS thr=2347 B Fragment thr=8000 B

Encryption key:off

it seems that android mobile can create ad hoc network but can not join existing one.

so the same result I found when I try to setup adhoc network between two android mobiles:

in both android mobiles I typed :

--------------

shell@android:/ # ip link set dev wlan0 down

shell@android:/ # iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc

shell@android:/ # iwconfig wlan0 channel 6

shell@android:/ # iwconfig wlan0 essid 'Test1'

shell@android:/ # ip link set dev wlan0 up

-------------------

for the first one I configure

shell@android:/ # ifconfig wlan0 192.168.65.129

the second one:

shell@android:/ # ifconfig wlan0 192.168.65.127

so the result of iwconfig wlan0:

in the first one: like result1

in the second android smartphone :like result2

and of course ,I can't ping from one to other.

in brief,it seems that in android smartphone I can create adhoc network but I can't join existing one.

can anybody tell me what it's wrong here,and if there is any possible solution,

I tried many methods to setup ad hoc network in my android mobiles,and only this method that it seems work,but it still something wrong that prevent android phone to join existing ad hoc network.
