the most of registru hacks you applied speed up the display but decrise program memory. my expirience says: more program memory - faster device. I get rid of EVERYTHING I don't relly need and my wizard starts with ~27mb of program memory and I love it!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] simon_darley:
mine is fast, starts up with 30meg.

i think you have amped up your registry tweaks to total overkill. wind em back to the recommendations.

i also believe your pocket breeze and contact breeze are slowing it down, what happens when you remove from today and soft reset.

i can only assume you have done the really obvious, like removed the antivirus software, disabled error reporting, and disabled auto beams.

what is in your startup?

do you have applications on the today screen access the SD card? do you have sd card memory readers on the today screen? are you running any close features such as magic button etc

is activesync auto running in the background?

i have SPB PP, SPB Diary, SPB Backup, SPB GPRS, SPB Weather, all running on startup as today plug ins and my device is acceptable (generally sub 2 - 3 seconds application launch and screen rotation), but if I switch them all off, everything is instantaneous. I also have MSVC running on startup with the SPB stuff. On boot up, RAM is 25mb instead of 30mb.

also, do you have a large PIM file from synchronising contacts and calendar? mine was 5mb and slow. by controlling what I was syncing, namely calendars, and only 100 contacts, it is down to 1mb, this had a big impact.

Also, there is a big trick, if you dont use video calls, disable it. its on these forums, or can be done via hard reset and not install the cab. there is a registry to disable it. this will consume 30 meg.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
Yes, this is all discussed elsewhere. Ensure you haven't installed the extended cab as far as possible, and indicate if you're using the extended rom dialler skin, which is a considerable drain.

Is the bench marking app reliable? I know Buzz was working on some lightweight roms and it'll be interesting for us to benchmark our different flavours.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Pocketpcdubai:
The simplest way to make your device speed up by almost 40% is to prevent the Ext.Rom from installing. All you need to do is first hard-reset your device and when during the process of windows setup, when you come to the operator customisation screen, just soft-reset. This will prevent your device from installing any of the carrier customisation files on the Ext.Rom.

Try it, you won't regret it one bit.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cktlcmd:
Can you please post a screen shot of what our phone skin should look like? I know I used corporate mode on O2's ROM, does this ensure that I did not let any of the Ext ROM to install?

I also found the thread that discusses about the phone skin. Here it is: http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=40342

Are you referring to this registry tweak to correct the phone skin?

To set or remove the operator phone skin

The setting is at 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin'

The 'Enabled' DWORD value can be set to '1' to show the operator skin or '0' to show the default skin

For example, to show the default skin

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin\Enabled = 0
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
I don't have my phone and facilities infront of me to take screenshots, so am posting some rubbish from my site. But basically, WITH the extended rom specific skin, your VGA phone looks like this:

Without the ext rom skin (this is the pin entry screen, but it's similar but less screwed up):

The without skin is much much faster.

I've had an idea about how to re-skin the phone hopefully in a light weight manner, but haven't had a second to play with the idea. When I get some time, hopefully next week, I'll play with a proof of concept.

But Vijay, doesn't that mean that you lose the ability to make video calls?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
:) wouldn't know, no one ever wants to see my face!

Generally I think it does, but I think the more complete thread posted above contains some details about how to re-enable it. There's also posts somewhere on how to re-enable the terrible intellidialer.

I attempted to install the latest Viper ROM over the Viper I had currently on my HTC One. It said it installed, then went to reboot, and stayed on the white screen for a while. I rebooted, but it did the same thing again. I got to looking in TWRP and it didn't have an OS installed, and it had wiped my backups. Now, I can get to TWRP, and I can get to Fastboot, but I can't connect with ADB. I have an OTG USB cable, but when I try to install a zip from my USB drive, I get the error message, "E:Unable to mount '/system'". When I go to MOUNT in TWRP, it won't let me select System to mount it.

I thought this would be the perfect time to go with the GPE RUU, but I can't connect with ADB.

What do I do? (deep breaths taken already)
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] jerrycoffman45:
try formating your data in twrp then reboot into recovery then mount usb-otg and flash or transver then rom to sd card
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] clsA:
did you flash the newest version of TWRP 2.6.3.3 ?

When I flash from the usb otg adapter

I shut the phone completely off

hookup the cable and flash drive

bootup recovery / select wipe/ factory reset / then install

on the install screen I browse to the usb otg by tapping the Storage: and choosing usb otg

then back and when you choose install again you should be in the root of the flash drive

choose your rom and install. first boot up sometimes takes over 5 min to complete be patient before you give up and reboot the phone from the white htc screen.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] rushwal:
If I power up the device, it starts up into TWRP. If I hold down pwr+vol down, I can get into fastboot, but I haven't found anything I can do from there except boot into recovery.

I've been using my Windows 8.1 laptop, but I also have access to a Windows 7.

I used the HTC dev web site to unlock back when I got it. I had to do the change to Rogers device in order to unlock. It's been a while since I did this, and I've been running Viper ROM for so long, I don't remember everything I've done.

Thanks for your help!

Fantastic your phone has never been updated.. it will be easy to s-off with revone

you should do that right away. after that thier are a bunch of AT&T files you can use to get your phone back into new condition.

http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/ruu-file-downloads/

all the files with cingular in the name will work on your phone

I would go directly to US 3.17.502.3 after you get s-off

edit your post and remove you serial and iemi like I did in the quote

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] clsA:
adb only works in recovery or when the phone is booted to android

you can convert to GPE, but you need to run the AT&T RUU first to make sure all your partitions are correct

and your phone is working correctly. I still recommend getting s-off first

and here's a tutorial on RUU

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] clsA:
I would recommend just running a GPE Rom for a while before doing the full conversion

theirs dozens of threads of people changing back to sense after just a short time using the striped down GPE. For me the GPE has worse reception and worse battery life. Google now is a worthless substitute for blinkfeed and the plain camera and gallery and contacts and keyboard are all way behind the HTC Sense versions.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] rushwal:
I hardly ever use Sense. I put Nova Launcher on asap, and even when I say I'm going to try Sense for a few days it rarely lasts. I do however use the Sense keyboard and contacts. I've just got to get the useless AT&T crap off there.

Sense goes far deeper than just a launcher.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tiraniss:
Hello. I am new to forums in general. In fact I made this account just now so I can get some help as I cannot seem to find an answer anywhere.

I am trying to flash clockworkmod to my Galaxy S4. I have successfully rooted with the help of Odin and Motochopper. I downloaded Rom Manager from the playstore and used it to flash(?) CWM 6.0.4.4. When I try to boot into recovery a yellow triangle with an exclamation point appears with the text, "System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest Verizon Wireless store for help." In the top left corner of my screen it also says Secure Fail: Kernel. If I reboot into download mode and press the volume key down, my phone resets and boots up normally. What is going on?

I have tried using these methods but they don't work.

[LG Optimus G Pro] niteglo:
I had a weird thing happen. Earlier today I dropped my phone from approximately 18 inches onto a laminate surface. The phone was in a protective case. After I picked it up, the power button wouldn't work. The rest of the phone was fine. No scrathes on the case, no other types of hardware failure or signs of damage. I opened the phone up, removed the motherboard and inspected the entire system. Everything seemed perfect. I inspected the power button and there didn't seem to be an issue. I put everything back together, while paying close attention to make sure that all connections were secure. After reassembly there was still no change. So I have a couple of questions:

1. Can I jump the connection between the two power button connections (which I believe is how the power button itself normally activates the phone) to see if that's where the problem is so that I can establish if the power button is in fact the problem? Or will that short something out on the motherboard?

2. Has anyone had anything like this happen, or know of a place where the power button can be bought, etc... Any suggestons are appreciated! =)

Thanks!

Edit: I was able to find the connections to the power button flex cable. The two terminals were loose and I was able to pull them out a bit using a wooden tooth pick. I now have good contact and the power button is working perfectly. I recorded what I did and will post a video on YouTube in case someone ever has this happen to them. I don't know why an 18 inch fall would cause this type of issue, but oh well. Fixed is fixed.

Reboot to fastboot mode (shut down your phone, hold the volume up key and plug USB into the computer and the phone).

Then open command prompt and navigate to fastboot directory.

Then remove the cable and boot up the phone, go into the recovery and flash the build.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optimusodd:
EDIT : The issue has been resolved.

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

Hi guys,sorry for starting a new thread.I've been searching XDA forum and Googling for the solution for 3 days but haven’t found one. I am facing very weird and annoying problem and in desperate need of help.

My Wildfire was working fine on CM 7.2 Stable .Few days back I performed the following things :

1).To resolve the wireless related issues I reflashed Radio (3.35.20.10)

2)Flashed latest Kernel (SympKernV4.5) to give it a try ,was not satisfied and reflashed the previous Kernel (SympKernV4.1)

After that my phone got stuck on the CM boot screen.

I have tried following things :

1)Wiped everything and took nandroid backup without any problem.Everything went well but at the end same boot screen.Yes,I have got two partitions in SDCard FAT32 and ext3.And obviously I used the same version of CWM to restore as I did when creating the backup.

2)Tried the same things 3-4 times to no avail.

3)Ran RUU (RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.25.405.1_Radio_13.45.55.24_3.35.15.31_release_142189_signed).Downgraded and rooted using unrevoked once again.It was booting fine.Flashed recovery 5.0.2.8.Took nandroid backup everything went perfectly without any Error but when I did the reboot,same CM boot screen.

4.Flashed RemPuzzle_2.81-full and the boot was fine.But again when I tried to restore nandroid backup,got stuck on the same boot screen.I have waited for 5 hours.

5)Tried some other RUUs but the result is still the same.Phone boots perfectly when I flash the RUU. After downgrading and rooting when I try to restore the nandroid backup,it works fine till the end without any error but when I reboot the system it stucks on boot screen.

6) Followed what eventcom has mentioned in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1401784&page=2 .Booting was okay but again stuck on boot screen after nandroid restore.

7)Went back to CWM 2.5.0.7 and reflashed the CWM 5.0.2.8.

8.Removed SDCard and SIM before reboot.

9)Don’t think the problem is related to MTD partition as I have formatted all the 3 partitions(/cache,/data and /system).

10)I don’t think the Nandroid Backup has got corrupted coz Nandroid Restore was successful 4 days back before that Radio and Kernel thing moreover I have the backup file saved in PC and I copy the file to SDCard before every new Nandroid restore operation.

Any clues ?:confused:

Your help will be much appreciated.Thanks for your time.

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
Hi pal, sorry for my delayed response. Xmas is nuts here :/ ok what I would like you to try is a clean install of cm7 stable and once that's installed go to the play store. The app I want you to get is called nandroid manager, install it and allow it to check your back up. I want to see if it will restore from it or if it will find it corrupt. All going well it will resotre your apps and data and we cam go from there :)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optimusodd:
Hi mate,thanks for your reply.I really appreciate it.There are somethings I need to ask.

1.Right now I am on CWM 2.5.0.1,so before restoring the backup taken by CWM 5.0.2.8 I will have to flash CWM 5.0.2.8 first.Right ?

2.AFAIK,Nandroid Backup is stored in the "backup" folder

clockworkmod\backup

Right ?

There is another folder "download"

clockworkmod\download

and two files

.nomedia

and

.settings

inside "clockworkmod" folder.

What is the role of "download" folder and those two files ?Do they have anything to do with the nandroid backup ?If I want to restore any nandroid backup,do I also need to move that "download" folder and those two files to "clockworkmod" folder or only moving the backup inside "backup" folder will do the job ?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
If you made the back up with cwm 5 you will need cwm 5 pal. The difference between those two recovery is a scripting change, going from amend to edify I believe. So you need version 5 if that's what the back up was made with :)

Second your back ups are indeed within the cwm/backup folder. The other folder is for if you use the Rom manager application ( which is made by the same gentleman who makes and maintains cwm recovery) the setting file tells the app your default app settings and preferences and the .nomedia is a dummy file. When android apps like music players and picture viewers ect scan the sdcard for content they also look for the .nomedia file, which tells the app simply that there is no media in the folder and that it does not need to scan it :) should you want to make one simply create a .txt file and rename it to .nomedia and android apps will ignore the folder when looking for media :)

So should you want to back up your backups as it were simply copy the whole backup folder from your sd card to your pc, job done :)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optimusodd:
Ah okay,thanks for the explanation.:)

Okay I used nandroid manager to restore the backup and evrything went well till the end.No error.Nothing.After the completion it rebooted the device and it again got stuck on bootscreen.It has been stuck on bootscreen for last 20 mints.I don't understand why :confused:
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
Hmmmm. That's very strange. Do you know how to do a logcat to a text file? If so do one and capture it at boot and we will see if it gives us an error :)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optimusodd:
Okay I had taken a nandroid backup using CWM 5.0.2.8 to be on the safe side before trying to restore the backup via Nandroid manager.So when the restore process via Nandroid manager ended up again as stucked on bootscreen I wiped everything and took the nandroid restore and it was successful.WTH is going on.Seriously,I am clueless :eek:

Okay,capture it using adb or CatLog ?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
OK so now you have the rom installed with the correct data restored? That's a plus :) not sure how this has came about though :confused:
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optimusodd:
Nope not the one I want to restore.It's the restoration of the nandroid backup taken of clean CM 7.2 i.e CM7.2+Gapps+Nandroid Manager.

Okay,I do a logcat.

................................EDITED..........................

Hi,I have sent you the logcats.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
So i have reviewed your logcat and its not showing up anything that could make it bootloop :/ can you use nandroid manager to restore just the app data and see how it gets on for me? it shouldnt need to reboot to do it.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optimusodd:
Okay,thanks,I restored some user apps and system apps (including data).Some apps are working fine and restored back to previous state including CM Settings but some apps got messed up and data didn't get restored.:confused:

What should be the next move ?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
Well that tells us that the nandroid back up has became corrupted somehow, or your sdcard partition is not the same as your nandroids. If it's corruption your pretty stuffed and will have to just start fresh, but I would first double check your partitioning and then attempt a final restore with nandroid manager. If it fails then delete the apps that don't work data and keep what works I suppose :/
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optimusodd:
Thanks for the reply.

Huh,What do you mean by sdcard partition is not the same ?:confused:

Okay let me go into a little more detail.Few months back I was using 8GB card.And the nandoid backup I want to restore was taken on that card.

MTD partition size : 110 10

Ext3 :512 MB

Now I am using 16GB card with 1GB Ext3 partition.

No custom MTD partition.

Do I need to run custom MTD script ?

SDCard partition could be a problem if I was using a card of less capacity.But as both the memory capacity and the size of Ext3 partition are larger in this scenario so I think partition should not be a problem.

Correct me if I am wrong :confused:

Furthermore,the same nandroid backup got restored perfectly using the new card before that kernel and radio thing.Gah!
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
If you made the nandroid with a custom mtd the you had best restore it with a custom mtd. I'm not 100% sure how it's done or the theory around it though, it's been a long time since I've had to do such things.
