[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] miguelangelcg25:
I think there might be a problem with the Beanstalk build. I flashed Slimkat for the 1st time without any problems. Then, from TWRP I flashed Beanstalk as expected.

I checked the MD5 sum of the zip and it's ok. I have the SGH-T959V for sure.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 404glitch:
I tried this, and it doesn't work. The installation just aborts with no indication as to why. Was there anything specific I was supposed to delete, or just everything in the first five lines of updater-script?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 404glitch:
Okay, I figured out the problem in case anyone else runs into it and needs help.

CWM will always not register the phone as the one you want, but TWRP does. So if you use another ROM that installs TWRP first (like say, SlimKat), you can then install Beanstalk from TWRP.

Just install something that hides softkeys and restart game. The menus become big. I use xpose installer with gravity to hide softkeys
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] DingleBerry00:
Download GMD Immersive app. No root required and free. It allows the game to go into full screen which makes the menus larger. Run that, and then the game, and you're all good.

I have a NOT rooted sprint sp3 /kitkat 4.2.2 cm11

What themes are okay for my phone?

Most the ones I see need root I think...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thenugdestrroyer:
You need root to use themes..about as close as you can get is to use next launcher and use a theme for that launcher..otherwise root your phone. You'll be happy you did.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kaos420:
Well if your on cm11 your rooted.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ianthelmt:
Okay so it automatically roots the phone when you use the cm11 auto download thingamahooey from their website?

No..

You need to root it. Go to Google store download a root checker app.. check if you have root
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kaos420:
How so? It automatically installs a recovery and cm11.he is already rooted. Cm11 doesn't come not rooted.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ianthelmt:
It must have rooted it automatically since I did nothing myself to root it. I checked with with a root checker and it popped up with superuser prompt then confirmed in do in fact have root access. Weird! What are the best themes (ie most stable)... Are there any disadvantages of switching themes?

Hi,

My friend got this busbi tablet for Christmas, it's running 4.1, 7 inches and he's telling me about how it's not working, there's some "unfortunately error" apparently, maybe it's the *app* has stopped error. But is there any way to root this unknown tablet, and flash a custom rom on it? Maybe there's a tablet with the same hardware and software just under a different name somewhere? Thanks in advance :)

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mobiler:
I don't know.. ever since I got my brand new O2 Exec I've been getting less and less productive in work. The machine is indeed cool, but only when it works. I'm early adapter but it's been for the past month or so that I'm working for the machine instead of the machine working for me.

Memory leaks are out of this world. Memory is not freed up many times and I end up easily with 3mb of free ram even if no program is on. The battery life is terrible (to say the least) compared to my good old PDA2K (even with it's over 1yrs old battery! it blasts the Exec memory miles away)

Lately, the amount of lockups I am getting is simply unbearable. machine freezes.. sometimes the left soft button's caption (i.e "phone") graphics is seen like a small white box or something(as if all the letter go over each other) and then machine freezes. Something an alert comes up and then machine freezes. I can't trust the machine for business use, for games yes, but not for business.

Please note I don't have many programs running at all, no wisbar or cosmetic stuff like that., no SPB Plus and stuff like that. Just PocketInformant, PocketBreeze, phoneAlarm all of which are must have for me as well as some utils i relay on. I am wondering maybe my ROM is outdated, but I didn't see an update from O2 yet (I don't want to install NO_ID tool and flush other roms than OS own due to warrenty issues)

I have OS2 Exec with following ver:

ROM version: 1.13.82 WWE

ROM date: 11/30/05

Radio version: 1.04.02

Protocol version: 42.37.P8

ExtROM version: 1.13.188 WWE

Is there any Official update from O2 to any of these ?

Help is very much appreciated. That's before a 10kg hammer is blaster over the machine in an act of anger.. lol

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cktlcmd:
Here are my suggestions:

1st Upgrade to the latest I-Mate Jasjar ROM. It is definitely faster than the shipped ROM from O2 and highly stable.

ROM version: 1.30.76 WWE

ROM date: 02/20/06

Radio version: 1.09.00

Protocol version: 42.42.P8

ExtROM version: Delete and install only what you need.

2nd I use Oxios Memory which has 2 useful applications in it. Oxios Close apps and Oxios Hibernate. I learned about this here in one of the forums. It basically free up a substantial amount of unused memory. Here is a link: http://www.oxios.com/memory/

As far as battery is concerned. I don't have a problem with mine. I keep it plugged in every night to charge playing a lecture DVD while I sleep. :D

So far O2 has not released an update yet. The last official ROM they released, I believe you are already using it. Let us hope when they do release something it would have the complete Windows Mobile Update support for BT headsets and Push email.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mobiler:
Thanks man, I highly appreciate your detailed helpful response, but two issues :

1) As I said, I do not want to install the i-mate JJ ROM over the O2 one due to warrenty issues. So I think I would prefer to wait for the official O2 release thought I am starting to loose patience..

2) I also use the MagicButton app on my Exec. It seems very efficient at closing programs and switching tasks with minimal memory footprint. I'll look into the program you mentioned, but I doubt that's the problem. My machine has memory leaks because even when programs are all closed after several hours of use I can get down to 3mb free RAM.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Darren_Bridgeland:
Do you use the brilliant SBSH Ilauncher as this has very bad memory leaks being looked into at the moment
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jah:
@mobiler,

we must have twins! I have mentioned similar problems with my Exec to those you discovered and when I reported them here people were unhappy and accused me of not knowing how to use a Exec properly!

You may want to look at the following:

1. Powersave does reduce battery drain but you may a slight delay to being alterted to incoming calls

2. Reformat your SD card if you use data files (eg music, ebooks etc) a lot. I found that MS Reader and Windows Media player were not happy with the use of Powersave - often I would get a systems crash after restarting the device. But after a reformat of the SD card the device was much more stable

3. You can get good quality spare batteries now for the Universal from www.mobilefun.co.uk
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ninja12innotts:
I had a few issues with PhoneAlarm, nice piece of software does exactly what I wanted as well, apart from I had some compatability issues.

Slowed the phone down alot and if my memory serves me correctly ( I have a few too many memory leaks of my own going on ) made the phone freeze a couple of times.

Tried the trial version of Pocket Informant ( had it as standard on an IPAQ HX4700 and quite liked it ) but that caused me a few problems.

I now keep things simple, using PocketZenPhone for switching profiles ( very nice and simple solution ). Use the O2 web site to keep track of number of txts sent and phone call allowance.

SPBGPRS monitor for the obvious monitoring of GPRS usage.

Using the standard contacts and calender ( does me ok but not as flexible )

And I have just started messing about with Wisbar, No problems as off yet.

Personally I have found all problems with the phone are linked to software incompatabilities.

I am still in warrenty with O2 but have updated to the latest ROM and radio and if for any reason it has to go back I will try and flash back but my way of thinking is that I should be allowed to change to any ROM image I want in the same way as load any software I want.

Dont know if that is of any help at all, just my views on trying the same software. Regardless of how good they are, they caused problems for me so now I dont use them and everything seems to be running ok.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] colonel:
I know this is anachistic but I am also annoyed by the occasional reboot and have discovered (shock horror) that having as few TSRs running (i.e. none) as possible much reduces this. I used to run magic button and I am convinced that this caused the occasional lockup. These days I only have vbar (2.2) installed and run it at times of need (i.e. I don't run it all the time) as well as using the memory item in the settings to kill programs.

Running the virgin corporate install o2 ROM with no TSRs. Using PIE and Netfront, and the built in outlook, together with a number of games, has meant that my xda is quite reliable. I am hoping that my 'once every 2-3 days reboot' will be gone once the new xda rom comes out :shock:

I can also recommend memmaid to occasionally clear our broken registry settings.

WM5 has been a painfull experience for the PDA manufacturers. If you think we are having a bad time you should read the stuff about the dell axim x50 upgrade on aximsite. I am hoping that WM5.1 will be a free install for universal users as this will make the os more robust.

On an optimistic note the chipset employed by the universal is well used and very reliable in many applications, the construction is robust, so IMHO it all comes down to software/firmware which we hope will improve.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ninja12innotts:
I suppose that is what I was getting at.

Keep it simple.

Whether it is a stability problem with WM5 or just the third party software solutions I dont know.

But when I keep it simple, it works and works well.

I never mentioned battery life earlier, this weekend I went away with a full charge, granted I took another smaller phone with me but I did use it quite heavily ( playing Bejewelled, surfing the net and sending MMS ) and it was always on .

This morning it was on about 40% charged. Not too bad I thought compared to previous Windows Mobile phones I have had.

I use memmaid as well to do a bit of house keeping.

I was using spbPocketPlus mainly for its Task Handling, but thought I would give WisBar a shot. Having a proper close option to hand is very handy and should be included as a standard option in any version of Windows Mobile.

If I am not using a program I want it to be shut down properly. Like using a PC I only have the programs running that I am using.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ChristopherTD:
FWIW, I am new to this device, but not to PPC, so I am familiar with minimize/close distinction. My orange SPV M5000 loses about .3MB per program invocation. I shut down programs using either the program's own Exit function (where it exists) or the Memory tab in the settings area. But the memory is slowly eroded. The worst culprit is Activesync to my laptop, that consumes around 5MB that never comes back. After a soft reset there is about 23MB free, this quickly drops to around 18, then steadily drops. Something in the OS is not releasing memory. I have to soft reset to get the memory back (which takes about 3 minutes).
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] weasel:
Have you tried using the Exec in Corporate mode? It works fine for me
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jah:
@ChristopherTD, I setup a dummy Activesync server and then set Activesync to manual and I have found this make my Exec more stable - perhaps it is because it does not lose as much RAM as before.

It is surprising that after 6/9 months of WM5 availability that we are still having instability problems with major/popular WM5 apps. I only use GSPMagic, Agenda Fusion, MS Reader and Opera. Only GSPMagic and AgendaFusion have been trouble-free.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] colonel:
WM5 was intended for programs to keep running. I know we like to hack our machines to death + sometimes the memory gets too full and you have to kill stuff. But sometimes if you keep MS stuff running, and don't kill it all the time with something like magic button, you find the system runs better.

I have activesync, contacts, outlook and PIE open all the time. I used to kill activesync all the time and I think this caused problems.

Normally my games have proper exit buttons, together with pRSSReader (totally excellent program). For the MS built in programs I tend to leave them running as the OS was designed for this.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Osir1s:
Wow I think its pretty clear I ended up with a good unit afterall, either that or o2 really really messed up with your ROMS.

I have to charge my battery every night but thats to be expected with the usage I have. And im running Wisbar Lite, PhoneAlarm, PocketBreeze, and Wisbar Advance Desktop, all no worries, the only time I notice a distinct loss of memory is after player Warring Nations.

I feel for you guys, I think your summing it up that your working on your device as opposed to it working for you says it all.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mobiler:
Thanks for all the responses. You're all great guys!

Please see my responses below to all suggestions:

Thanks, but no. I don't use SBSH Ilauncher. I use MagicButton which has a minimum memory footprint

Thanks, I felt I was the only one having problems ;) Anyway:

1) I am always in powersave, still loosing battery power.

2) I just purchased a new SD card yesterday because I thought that may have caused the problems, but it's not it.. same problems.

3) I'll look into spare batteries, thanks for the link

I appreciate the reply.

1) I've purchased and used phoneAlarm for about a year straight with my PDA2K and it never failed me any problems. I consider it a must have, and since it ran quite smoothly on my PDA2k I don't see why it should cause the Exec these issues. Further, I did remove it and still exeprienced the same issues, so that's not the problem either.

2) I've used PocketInfromant for 1.5 years now and no problem on my old PDA2K.

Thanks for the reply, I've been using MagicButton for almost as long as I can remember and it never failed me. It worked superb on my PDA2K. Further, I tried removing it for a few days to check how things would work without it. Same lockups, same memory leaks, same mediocre performance, unfortunately (or fortunately) this isn't the problem either.

Sure I actually never ran my Exec in any other mode than the Corporate mode, so I never even experienced the other modes.

Pitty, that's not the issue with my machine as I already did that trick 2 weeks ago.

I just ran memaid to see what running processes do I have and I see to be having the following ones. Note that I have no running programs in the background and no today plugins enabled whasoever, just VoiceCommand I guess is working in the background but that's it. It seems to me that the WM5 core doesn't freeup memory.

Here's what memaid reports

gwes.exe 5.26MB

device.exe 2.83MB

filesys.exe 2.41MB

cprog.exe 2.29MB

VoiceCmd.exe 1.81MB

shell32.exe 1.51MB

(smaller processes below:)

tmail.exe 275.57KB

services.exe 159.81KB

connmgr.exe 115.81KB

MemMaid.exe 27.90KB

psShutXP.exe 11.90KB

srvtrust.exe 7.90KB

Nk.exe 0 bytes
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] colonel:
the most memory you can clear is about 26-29mbytes. The rest of the running processes need to be there. There is a good thread somewhere on what each process does, will post it if I come across it again.

29mb is disappointing considering there is 64mbyte memory, but thats the way WM5 works.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Darren_Bridgeland:
I've got a O2 XDA ii (himalaya) and im running wm2005 2.01.64

After a soft reset I have 31.x MB or RAM left, even if I dont run a single program or make a single phone call within say 6hours my RAM is at 21-24MB. This has nothing to do with not correctly closing programs but either a wm2005 leak or in my case a lot of the problem is being pointed at SBSH Ilauncher.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ninja12innotts:
Well here is a comparison just done a soft reset started memaid and my results are in brackets after yours for the ones in common running :-

I had similar problems when I first bought my O2 exec (on Ebay).

I downloaded the latest update from O2 website and re-flash the phone. I used Corporate install. So far it has been solid and I am even using the phone with Goodlink without a problem.

About the same time I bought the phone, I bought a 2G SD card (sandisk) , when I got the card I insalled a few software on this card (TCMP and Total Commander). Everytime I ran those applications, I can see that the phone crawls like a snail and worse it hangs. It even take a long time for me to transfer files from my laptop to the SD card even when I used a SD Card reader.

I replaced the SD card with a 2G MMC+ (Kingston) and I install the same apps. My phone is working as it should be, I can say that I didnt experience any hanging at all and it was never slow as well. I can even upload a ripped DVD movie on the phone faster compared to when I used the SD card. Right now I have one full season of Alias in my MMC+ card.

I have the phone setup to turnoff after a period of time (3 minutes) when there is no activity as opposed to others that they wanted to have the settings uncheck Start>Settings>Power. I also make sure that the backlight is set to a minimun when on battery and I uncheck the part where the phone will not recieve all incoming beam.

So far, my phone has been stable and battery lasts for 3 days.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] JRH:
From personal experience I found wisbar caused issues with the phone not ringing on an incoming call. It would ring for the first call after a soft reset and then stop for any further calls...

The other major issue which could cause delays and slowness is installing to the sd card any apps which ought to be installed to ram. ie: today plugins etc.
