[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
Any apps that you don't use... remove them. They aren't helping anything just being there.

Install Greenify and greenify anything that you don't need to have running in the background, but that you actually use. I like to greenify Facebook and other apps where I don't want them to always be running, but other programs work better with them installed.

If you have the donation version of Greenify, it can tell you which apps are waking your phone out of deep sleep as well. That can help save a ton of battery life when you decide that you don't REALLY need that app if it will wake up your phone 900 times overnight.

Look at the various running applications and consider their usefulness. Do you actually want that program to be running in the background? Is it useful? Is it worth the battery? That's something only you can decide...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Definitely take a look at Better Battery Stats -- it will reveal the culprits pretty quickly.

Install a ROM and don't install gapps, if you can get away without Play (store). At the very least, freeze all the Google crap when you aren't using Play.

Hey XDA:)

Not sure if this is the right place for this thread but it was the closest place to post it.

I've recently been experimenting with some customisation setting with my GS3 running AOKP and I have the Nova Launcher Beta with the 4.4 UI, and I'd came across some really awesome icon packs available for Nova Launcher, but I feel it would be better for me to make my own; one that would be suited to my liking.

So today I've done some research on the topic and have come across a very little amount of tutorials. I have also found a website called iconpackgenerator. This seems good just I'm not sure if I would be able to upload to the play store.

I have 3-4 years experience with Adobe Photoshop so I'd be able to handle making icons.

If anyone can point me in the right direction for this It'd be greatly appreciated.

Thanks-

Jem

If you are looking for general icon you can look at fontawesome it works for android
[Moto X General] thomase00:
This is after the 4.4 update.

I can't figure out the exact cause, but there are several occasions where I have left the phone idle for several hours, only to discover that the phone has not entered deep sleep, having instead been kept awake by Mediaserver the entire time. Unfortunately, I can't get access to the Partial Wakelock stats via BetterBatteryStats, but the time for the PowerManagerService.WakeLocks "container" under the Kernel Wakelock section roughly matches the awake time.

I have done some googling for solutions to this problem and most threads suggest a potential issue with media scanning (e.g. a corrupted .mp3 causing a background process to get stuck in a loop). However, I haven't been able to eliminate the problem with any of the proposed solutions.

However, the last few times this has happened, I have noticed that Bluetooth was enabled and paired with my headset. Also, in each case, the awake time for the Mediaserver process (under battery stats) continues to increment UNTIL I disable Bluetooth, at which point the awake time counter stops incrementing. Also, since I started paying closer attention to this behavior, I have yet to see the same deep sleep (i.e. wakelock) issue while Bluetooth is disabled.

I believe this is enough evidence to prove that the offending wakelock is somehow related to Bluetooth.

Does anyone else see this behavior?
[Moto X General] Darth:
I've seen it on other phones. And adding Bluetooth into the mix may make my advice unhelpful.... But that aside, rebooting after unplugging from charger every time has fixed that issue in the past. ;)

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] spacely8:
My friend is attempting to develop for android and I let him borrow my (rooted) HTC One X as I have an HTC One. He's a super smart comp sci guy but somehow he booted into my recovery (TWRP) (attempting to wipe the data) and wiped the phone...completely...including the OS rom and the recovery.

It's in a continous bootloop now, so I attempted to flash TWRP again through fastboot but in the command prompt I get that error:

FAILED (remote: not allowed)

I had this error when I messed up my HTC One when I was rooting it (apparently I have a history of f'ing up my phones lol I learn from experience though) but I don't remember how I resolved it

This is the access I have to my HTC One X:

S-Off

Bootloader Unlocked

Can access Bootloader and access fastboot

Phone is recognized in Fastboot USB

I know if I could just somehow get a recovery on the phone I could fix this but I can't.

Any help would be much appreciated
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
What response do you get for the command:

Worst case, you can RUU. But I suspect you can get fastboot working again, and just flash TWRP.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Firstly, do you have the HTC One X (Endeavoru) or the HTC One XL / AT&T One X (Evita)?

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] pandasa123:
Go to your bootloader. Then go to recovery. TWRP will be there.

Go to wipe and click wipe sd card again, and connect it to your computer

Use adb push command to push a ROM (and gapps if AOSP) to your sdcard root folder and flash it
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmorshed2k:
I've been using a HTC ONE for a few months now. After updating the device to Android 4.3, I started getting these popup sms messages (I think they're called Flash SMS?) from a number (50).

This worked for me, may for others too. i use Win 7

Right click on My Computer.

Left click on Properties

On the left side of the Systems window, click on Device Manager.

Under "Portable Devices", Double click on the "MTP Device" probably with a yellow alert.

Click the Driver tab at the top of the window.

Click the "Update Driver" button.

Click "Browse my computer for driver software".

Click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer".

Make sure you double-click the SECOND "MTP Device" in the list (the first one is the one that is failing, you want the USB one).

It should then say "Installing device driver software" and "Windows has successfully updated your driver software".

Now the "MTP Device" should pop up in a window asking you what you want to do with the device, and you should now be able to transfer all files from either internal or external memory again..

[General Questions and Answers] nWoStyle:
My contract is up fro renewal and Rogers up in Canada has a great Black Friday deal. I need help deciding which one of the three phones in the title should I get.

Factors to consider:

Cost is not a factor, all phones are $0

Battery life is of utmost importance

Usage is moderate in terms of talk, text, email. Very few other notifications are active

If i buy one of the Galaxy models, i get a Galaxy Gear for $50

This is what I think so far, but please feel free to correct me.

Galaxy s3

+ removable battery and MicroSD card

+ Was a Flagship at one point instead of a midtier to start

+ more Custom Rom support due to it being a flagship

- is a massive phone, hard to use with one hand

- plastic casing makes it feel cheap

Galaxy s4 Mini

+ good size

+ removeable battery and MicroSD card

+ other than screen resolution, almost on par spec-wise with s3.

- is a midtier phone and has less custom rom development

- plastic casing

Moto X

+ Great battery (supposedly)

+ starts with almost stock Android 4.4

+ good size

+ feels sturdy

+ is Motorola's Flagship and likely to receive support

+ decent custom rom development

- No MicroSD Card

If cost is no object, and picking a galaxy lands you a galaxy gear for $50, which is the better choice and why?

Moto X for sure. My friend has one and from what I've seen the battery is really good, definitely better than the sgs3 or s4 mini. The specs on the moto x are technically all better than the other devices you've stated and plus it has a bunch of other features like active notifications and dalvik optimisations.

Can't speak for the galaxy gear though but iirc I think it only works through Bluetooth by connecting with your phone which would be a huge waste of battery so yup, moto x

I have to be honest with you, that is a bit tricky.

For the sd-ext i would set it to 512kb.

Do have a a swap file, or do you use a swap partition? If you use a swap partition you should be able to give it a seperate read_ahead value.

Anyway i wouldn't know which value would be good, as swap is kind of a Ram exchange, so i don't know what data lies in there (Probably similiar to /data?). From my guts i would say 512, but just experiment a little bit=)

Maybe someone else could help out.

But all your scripts do is set

to 512kb read ahead.

You still leave /system & /cache at 768kb and don't set it to 4kb.

/sd ext to 512 kb

Just download the script:

1. Rename it from 99readahead.txt to 99readahead
