Well after taking a rough guess into what all the bmp's are for the dialler and that awquard quickdial pad thing i get around 1.4mb of images the the portrait and landscape backdrops 500k between them, shame they aint removed totally!! that would give 2mb more rom to use.

Someones got to sort a nbf editor out! *wink plz!!! i'd really like to be able to make a rom with all MY apps and layout in it

phcanhtc.dll is surlly whats causing it, what else does that call on, can anyone dicect it?

I also tried a rotate whilst on the phone screen and its dam near instantanious

and tbh i actually quite like this skin, simple, does what it says on the tin.

I use pocket informant 2005 for dialling out normally non frequent numbers, and use the phone app to just do most common numbers from the call history.

non the less its an odd way to get more performance, i like it :P
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] universaldoc:
Hi Andy,

Thanks for the response.

You might be absolutely right. Since i didn't install the Ext. Rom in the first place, i don't have these entries. Also, at present, i have 27Mb of program memory free which is exactly what you have :) I was thinking that you actually got 37Mb of memory free which IMO would be Fan-bloody-tastic!!!

Thanks anyways.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] docraj:
Hi AndyME

Thanks for this tip. I applied this to my Dopod 900 (Universal sold in Singapore) and my RAM increased from 20M to 27M.

I might just do a hard reset and then follow universaldoc's suggestion of soft-resetting before any Dopod bloatware installs.

On the whole I am happy with the performance of this device as it is now, especially since I upgraded the Radio to 1.60.00.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] AndyME:
i a mglad it was useful for you. you can always check the difference between this way and the reset as per universaldoc and see what suits you better.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] tailazoom:
Hard-resetted my jasjar

Soft-resetted before extRom installation

Result is: everything is working better, from signal level, to phone calling, to internet browsing. Thanks for the tip!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] vijay555:
I'm interested to know you guys. I've always done the ext rom skip, but do you find it has any effect on your use of Voice Command. I'm suspicious why someone who didn't do the skip, but is using the same headset, doesn't have the problem I have, whereby the audio gateway is left open and I can't close it by pressing the headset button.

V
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] AndyME:
when I once skîpped ext rom, i noticed that voice command seemed not to have been installed (at least I did not see it in the programs)

now, that i just disable the phone skin, i feel i get all the benefits the others are reporting, but i have full voice control support.

but i have installed a qtek ext rom on a t-mobile rom, as mentioned above, and the qtek is just 500 kB while t-mobile is 3.5MB

so it is probably anyway difficult to say what is the content of the various ext roms, they can be quite different i would guess...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] simon_darley:
I have actually 30mb on reset, if I disable my auto starts, it drops down to 26mb on boot up when I am running:

1. M$ Voice Command (cant get rid of the old, but dont use it)

2. SPB PP (beta 3.1), SPB Diary (latest), and SPB Weather

These are my today plugins and startup folder.

I also skipped the extended rom entirely, and then selectively installed the bits I wanted using total commander to copy the specific extended rom items i wanted, and the phone wasnt one of them, I dont know anybody with the video bit anyway.

Dont use the antivirus...

I think your bluetooth problem might be rectified by te .cab noted as SSD BTUR_Patch_for_BT.

Without the extended rom, and few of the other registry tweaks, I get awesome memory, awesome startup, awesome screen rotations, never hangs except for 3rd party apps, never misses an sms, rings at the beginning of the first ring.

Yes, I agree, the phone video things sucks heaps of resources, skip it if you dont use it.

Mind you, after a day of hardwork, wifi, internet, lots of mail and playing, it does drop down towards the 20 - 15mb mark, but overall, I am happy with it...

So in summary, just skip the rom entirely, and consider just your bluetooth patch file.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] AndyME:
simon, what other registry tweaks are you recommending?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Ruud Westerhout:
Hi all,

allow me to jump in on this subject. Just did another hard-reset this morning to build a new system fromscrap as I had a huge problem (memory was used by whatever and I did not get further then the today screen).

I am using the Jasjar 1.13.53 WWE and have an empty ExtROM. I noticed that if I only install the .cab for BT (SSD_BTUR_Path_For_BT_Cannot_Initial.sa) I get stuck without the smart-dialing. For me it only starts working if I install to more .cab files :

Signed_eCall_vMail.sa and

Default_Enable_VT_RTPlugin_0727_2_signed

I am having a system which has 30 M free on startup, but only until I start using ASync to get my contacts and calender in, the system immediately drops down to 24MB after that.

Do You guys know another way of getting the smart-dialling working except for the above mentioned .cab-files ? I do not need the video-call at all, wouldn't miss is at all, so would very much like to get more speed excluding it at all. On the other hand I do not like the original dial-skin and would like to overwrite it with the ones from Vodafone.

Is such combination possible ?

Ruud
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] AndyME:
Ruud, I am afraid, I cannot help you..but it is always so frustrating to get no replies... :)

i have a VPA iV too (MDA Pro was lent for 3 months only and i will have to return it), i understand what you are talking about, the voda skin is sooooo cool...i asked VJ and he told me that:

"You can grab themes by find the *.tsk files in the \windows\ folder. While you're there, grab all the *.gifs and *.bmps that you can. You should be able to reassemble all the themes from there."

since this was only yesterday, i have not had the time yet to do it. i will try though.

also: on buzzdev.net there is a downloadable skin that is basically the voda skin..unfortunately when i installed it over the default windows skin (the naked blue one) it did not really work. try for yourself...

I have so far kept the vodafone installation as is, it has a very small ext rom of just 2-300 kB, and just removed the skin enable command in the registry which brought 10MB same as on the MDA Pro. (and I do not see the beautiful phone skin anymore... :cry:

Why actually did you not keep the voda installation? I think the new (german) t-mobile 1.20 is more stable, but it is definitely better than the old t-mobile was. is it your feeling that jasjar is better than voda?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Ruud Westerhout:
Hi AndyME,

First of all, I have a vodafone because of my contract with them in Germany, but I am actually a Dutch guy living in Russia. There is no need for the German language, actually I do not like any other language then English for everything in electronics, specially software.

My hope that the device would be multiple language was gone at the moment I unpacked my package. So I used the website here to change to english.

I have all the .gif, .jpg and .bmp from the vodafone installation kept for backup purposes, but had to change them to fit to the iMate size. Also not all the transperency is working like I wanted.

Do You know the .cab file necesssary for just changing the skin ?

It is quite some work to install each of them seperately, softreset and if they do not do the trick, do a hard-reset before You try the next. I found out that the combination of the two I mentioned before helps, but maybe I need this DiscoButton as well ?

I have asked this question before, but did not get an answer, does somebody know what thedifferent .cab-files are for ?

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] simon_darley:
I still operate the phone perfectly without any extended rom, so you have different needs, eg smart dialling? I only return calls, or use my contacts to initiate calls.

activesync was your first alarm. I only have 100 contacts. I also originally syncs all calendars, approx 3000 of them... major slow down due to notifications, search look up and the likes. so went back to only 2 weeks back and all forward.

you check this via your pim.vol in the root of device, mine wnet from 5mb to 1mb.

also devices appear to load into ram as this is how the previous versions worked, and ms also on a bare install, so also look at the amount of data syncing.

your phone pad sucks heaps and heaps so evaluate your smart dialling needs and see if you are prepared to give away so much.

in relation to reg hacks, wiki is storing many that help in a multitude of circumstances eg cache, term server, etc.

there is also a forum on how to make your background screen picture the same as your phone background, but haven't tested.

most of the cabs are different on each device, and usually just activate something that is part of the base rom such as the video phone and phone layouts. the base rom is already bloated and loosing some 60 meg of base rom as the dumping ground has it all and non removable, and the cab files are simply switching on and loading uo into ram.

in relation to rebuilding, wait 2 days, spb release the wm5 backup that works really well and save lots of time on rebuilds.

gotta go, kids demand attention and I am typing on the tiny keyboard so excuse typos and grammer....
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] vijay555:
Hi all. I've posted the whole Extended rom from my O2 universal in the VJBigPhone thread somewhere:

AutoRun.exe

In these files, signed_UNI_o2AUI4_build76.CAB is the one that installs tha fat dialer skin. I also never installed the extended ROM, although eventually I had to install the Video Call and Fat skin for VJBigPhone development. But the rest, as Simon says, I don't miss.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Ruud Westerhout:
@ Simon Darley,

I do agree with the phone working without the extended rom. But if You use it in the car as well, where I like to use my fingers to dial, and have the device in portrait mode (so no keyboard) this smart dialing option is a real help.

I noticed it starts to work only if these .cab-files I mentioned are installed. No real mem is “stolen” for that.

The graphics files are actually in the rom, so I presume that is why I get different size buttons when I just copy my Vodafone skin over it.

Your advices sound all VERY solid, so I will be working on them. I will not have to wait for spb giving their new backup a go, as I have received a free copy of Sprite Backup 5.0 which fully works on my device. It has maybe a few changes from the beta version I was trying before, but none which bothers me too much.

I have just received a new version of Spb Pocket Plus, they are now on Beta 5, so I do not know if their official release is only 2 days away.

By using Sprite, I went back to a place before I synced my pim, and I have still 29,6M after a soft-reset, this is OK for me.

I had a problem with my Storage-mem being too small, but I do not know who “stole” it in the first place. All my programs are being installed on my storage card except for Spb Pocket Plus. For now I am doing fine, 29,5M is still available.

@ vijay555

I was searching and reading your VJBigPhone thread, but did not even understand the VGA Hack. As I am probably not doing something like this, I have no problem with small buttons, hence do not need the program. I will need to read further, but it is REALLY big :).

Thanks,

Ruud

Re smart dialling, found this on another forum, which may help and also to keep your ram use down

http://www.modaco.com/lofiversion/index.php/t234630.html

This is found on O2 devices, the HTC wizard release of it....

SmartDialing_enable_0915_signed.CAB

Installs smart dialling - works like predictive text when you type a name from your contacts into the phone dialler - same as on Phone Edition.

If you ask around, somebody can probably PM it to you.

Buzz may have helped you out...

4.4.1 dropped for N5 and it came with huge camera improvements including HDR and HDR+ modes. According to the N5 threads the new camera works on CM11 (for us AOSPers) but I tried it and I get FFC reboot and main camera is really laggy. Is it portable? Will this camera update be able to be included in other AOSP roms? Or is it and update specifically for the N5?

This ROM is based on the awesome work of kasper_h with some improvements on stabilty and the latest source from CM, so it's pretty close to stock.

Kernel is the mackay kernel updated to latest 3.0.y linux branch, with some improvements from the stock one.

Improvements/fixes:

Device:

App2sd fixed (init procedure adapted from galaxy sl rom)

General code cleanup

Triple buffering for smoother animations

Enabled WebGL

Increased powervr buffer size (powervr.ini from Eviscerations velox rom)

Charger suspend implementation to turn off screen in charger mode

Proximity sensor on call screen fixed

Other minor performance tweaks in Boardconfig, init...

(patches mostly taken from galaxy s/sl CM rom)

Kernel:

Kernel patched to latest 3.0.101

Included lots of patches from the latest LG kernel sources

Full wipe is necessary since the mountpoint and procedure of the sdcard is changed!

Known issues:

- Video recording is crappy as usual... (if someone is interested in helping to port the camera hal, please let me know)

- Wifi hotspot (?)

Install:

If you have mackay rom or another cm10.1 based rom => full wipe!

Flash with with CWM or TWRP recovery, then flash the gapps on top.

and by cm standards i hope you mean p970 standards and not galaxy s standards :p

seriously the lg camera hal is nothing for ordinary mortals like me... a lot of features are controlled by the fw3a binaries and icapture lib, and i can't find the sources for them anywhere.

btw the camera in my build works, just on hd video recording sometimes it freezes and has low framerates (usual p970 standard :P)

as i remember well this bug was also present on cm10, correct me if i'm wrong :)
[LG Optimus Black] Pondera:
Ah, ok then mate. I thought camera was troubled. If it is normal CM quality on P970 then i will try it when i have the phone empty for couple of days. I don't care much about video, a decent photo quality is enough for me, in case i need it. Thanks.

Please help! My AT&T Samsung Galaxy S2 SGH-i777 is stuck in a boot loop.

Unfortunately, I don't have backup of either my contacts or photos/videos. I don't mind about restoring the apps.

Information:

1. Samsung Galaxy SII SGH-i777 bought in USA.

2. Never changed any binaries. The phone has been running on the original Android OS ver (Android 2.3.4, I think) came with the shipped S2.

3. Phone was unlocked by me after getting the unlock code from AT&T and was being used outside US.

4. Not sure about the cause of boot loop. Didn't install any new apps. Had browser opened and tried to restart, stuck in boot loop.

Please help by providing answers.

1. Is there any chance of getting my contacts and photos restored?

2. By going through different forums, I understand that a factory reset may fix the problem, but I believe this process will wipe contacts /photos. Is it correct?

3. If answer to the above question is YES, will trying the option "wipe cache partition" before "wipe data/factory reset" gives any chance of restoring the contacts/photos.

4. Does the unlocking of my phone will have any effect on doing "wipe data/factory reset", if necessary.

5. If "wipe data/factory reset" also does not work, which kernel/software should I be using to flash through odin. I would prefer to go the same Android version as it was?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
