wtf...."my tytn is slowing down" solution "overclock it", who brought the crack today?

First thing would be to see how much crap you have in start up, and how much junk you have on your today screen constantly refreshing, I have 30 applications installed on my tytn, and NO slowdown.

I should have ignored this thread, but working in the pc tech help for many years...I never would have imagined to tell someone to OC their pc if it was slow, same applies to this device, this isn't the Omap processor, as you all know...the tytn is actually fairly quick, if you don't muck it all up with memory resident poop.

Also, why anyone would bother with an app to change the softbuttons is beyond me, it just takes a couple minutes with a registry editor, which equals less junk installed on your tytn.

edit: sorry I was a bit surly this morning, and I couldn't stfu...it just looks to me that vid200 is a bit of a novice from his initial question (sorry if I am wrong, no offence meant vid200) by the nature of it and that the answer is easily found on google and the wiki.

I can understand pointing someone out the app to easily change the softkeys..it saves trying to teach someone about registry editing, but to tell that same person to OC their ppc when they haven't even really dug into manually tweaking it is just nutty, you have to crawl before you can walk.

vid200, if you don't have it, I suggest you give memmaid a try, and see what is slowin you down, also I don't know if the softbutton app you have permits it, but if you manually change the softkeys with a registry editor, you can link them to .cpl files, for example the taskman.cpl file found on this forum, and easily bring up the oem taskmanager, or any other control panel apps...battery..memory..there is a .zip floating around with most all the .cpl files in it, and when you stick with the oem monitors it helps with speed and battery life just less polling and memory usage, also just throwin the tip out there, some people might not know they can link to cpl's.

the only things that have slowed down my tytn are the wisbar advance (all of em) and Pocket PC PhoneAlarm,

I don't recommend both of them as they are resource hogs and have memory leaks,

aside from those two I have 30 so apllications and tons of today plugins and my device is fast and very responsive.

Hello all,

Need your help for the following:

I am trying to use left sofkey to lock pda, like we use on a nokia phone (left key + * to lock phone).

I have used SoftkeyAppletEx (Thanks Dotfred!), but i still could not find the correct block keys file to link to softkey.

For sure this is not impossible, as we can put that option on today screen.

Anyone could help to identify that file???

No offence taken, and yes I am a novice and I never messed up with registry before. Belive me I have searched and read forums and google, but softkey change just did not work on my device since all the other registry changes I made did work.. So I asked for help.

I will start the oem taskmanager and see if there is a problem.

10x for the advice

P.S.:one more question: where and how can I change the tone for messages, I can't find the folder to copy the ring tone in to.

You're not offensed, but I am. This so called 'ChaoticDruid' guy has no respect for the work made by others. I surely won't use 'Druid', because he has no wisdom being so pretentious, and I wouldn't use Chaotic but more 'Causing chaos'...

Surely, he's so clever that he advices a novice to play with the registry, this is very wise indeed. Furthermore, I didn't know that a Control Panel Applet could cause the slow down of a machine, but yes he has so many years of experience that he doesn't even know that. And I would add that not everybody wants to take a couple of minutes (I wish it was true if you don't know what you're looking for) to dig in the registry, if it can be done in two seconds.

Cheers,

Ok

I understand your point of view,

But this is a forum so I suggest we keep discussing things not arguing.

Well, so I read on other topics that SPB pocket plus is a slow down application and I have to admit I am using it so I am thinking of changing it maybe with some other programs.

Any suggestions, I would like to make my today screen like this:

Connection manager

GPRS counter,

Whether report

Messages (lsit all unread emails and tekst messages)

Tasks

Calendar

And Icons for the applications in tray bar.

I would also like to put new message (and have a choice: text, email or MMS) to the left soft key, but I do not know how.

BUT since I am a newbie I can only admire your today screens and hope I will find out somewhere how you did it.

I would like to ask how to change the ring for incoming message,

I would like to ask how to put icons in the bottom right corner in a tray bar where already the icon for emoze push mail is.

1) And for all of you out there thanks for the help you give me

2) I have the device for 4 days and my girlfriend says it is all I have been doing for the past 4 days so don’t even thing I’m not spending hours and reading forums and searching.

10x again!

PHM Tray Launcher allows you to add a tray icon in the taskbar.

I also use SPB Pocket Plus, so for another "today manager" ask to others, this one is enough for me.

Use Tweaks2k2.Net

There is a specific tweak to override the sofkeys' setings.

You can replace key caption or programs, for instance you can remove "Calendar" and set "Agenda" and so on for Contacts

:-)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] explorer2612:
Change your Left/Right Today softkeys

Here is the registry tweak you requested -

================================================

Change the application launched by Today screen Soft Keys

To change the application launched by the Today screen Left soft key:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\Open = "\Windows\Calendar.exe" (REG_SZ string, including quotes)

To change the title of the Left soft key:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\(Default) = Calendar (REG_SZ string, no quotes)

To change the application launched by the Today screen Right soft key:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113\Open = "\Windows\Calendar.exe" (REG_SZ string, including quotes)

To change the title of the Right soft key:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113\(Default) = "Calendar" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)

Note that 113 normally doesn't exist by default, and probably needs to be created Also note that there is at least 1 application that allows you to set these through a GUI, developed by FdcSoft called SoftKeyAppletEx

=================================================

Actually, you can select any name or app on the Left /Right softkey. Test the length of the word (make sure it fits all on the bar). You may get the application ".exe" from /windows folder of your device.

I would advise though not to fiddle on the right key as that is a bit complicated.

For example, mine I used on the Left softkey the name "Phone Pad" and used "VTKey.exe" (without the quotes) instead of Calendar and Calendar.exe. It worked perfectly well on my Imate Jasjar with no problem at all on portrait/landscape orientation. Hoped it does, too, on your device.

Cheers !!!

[G3 General] 557953:
Stupid question time..... But trying to learn :)

Would it make a difference to the way it works if it was bypassed rather than full unlock? If we can get a work around that allows recovery's rom's ect what difference would it make?

Feel free to explain like you're talking to the village idiot lol.

I've kept my word before for bootloader unlocks.
[G3 General] hello00:
the majority they do
[G3 General] jcase:
Many come unlockable

Some come not unlockable

Few come unlocked
[G3 General] thecubed:
The few. The proud. The unlockable.

Seriously though guys, right now we've got all the help we need. We're not even looking at bootloader unlock yet for other phones, just trying to come up with a root that works across all devices and is simple to use. As we've posted, we've got a few, we just are still looking for more - especially ones to hit the Sprint variant, which seems to have no workable root at this moment.

Literally the most useful thing right now would be to donate to someone so we can buy a Sprint variant outright - as long as someone gets it, we'll have all our bases covered. I have an ATT edition which I'd like to see the community help out with, autoprime has a TMO, and jcase has a .. uh, jcase, what do you have again?

I'd like to get a universal root together by friday(ish) [THIS IS NOT A DEADLINE, DONT BUG US!] then I'm going to see if we can get a full-stack toolkit for the TMO phones together to root, install twrp, disable boot.img security, prevent FOTA, and get you out of FOTA mode if your phone somehow decides to try to take the FOTA.

At that point, we'll decide if we want to revisit Sprint rooting if it's not done yet with universal root, or if we want to proceed with bootloader unlocking for the other carriers that have more than 2 bars of signal when sitting right under a tower (i.e. put sprint root on the backburner to focus on bootloader).

If ANYONE happens to have a phone with some weird software version on it other than 10A/ZV4 ROM, please let us know!

Versions we need are:

- Sprint: Lower than ZV4

- ATT: Lower than 10D

- TMO: Lower than 10C

- VZW: Lower than 10B

- KR/OPEN: Lower than 10A

We're looking to get partitions/files from those phones. If you have it, please PM myself or autoprime or jcase.

Thanks!

Now, I'm off to bed to let my brain re-solidify from this gelatinous puddle it's turned into this weekend...
[G3 General] tschmid:
Do you also need partition files from european version? If so can you give an instruction how i can take them from my lg g3?
[G3 General] wolfgart:
they have all it need to have just upped about D855 ..

;)
[G3 General] tschmid:
Ok thanks
[G3 General] sabret00the:
So just to confirm are you looking into unlocking the bootloader for the D855 right now or not? This thread is becoming quite confusing and so we need clarification.

Regarding root, towel root works. Whoever it doesn't work for should seek out another thread. In fact there's another method offered on these very forums in IORoot. Conversations regarding a bootloader bypass should also go in another thread.

While the work you guys are doing in regards to a universal G3 root is without a doubt appreciated, the signal to noise ratio of this thread is simply too high. Posts in this thread should remain about people contributing to the bounty of the D855 bootloader unlock and progress reports on that.
[G3 General] Lennyuk:
You are worrying too much about the specifics, the D855 will be included in whatever the guys post once they have finished developing their unlocking methods. Multiple threads on this topic is not something the XDA mods will want to see.
[G3 General] sabret00the:
Well what I quoted above doesn't make it sound like the bootloader unlock is being worked on at all let alone any specific work going into the D855. So while yes I am worrying about the specifics, it's for good reason. Universal root, with all due respect, was not what I pledged towards and it's not what I'm following this thread for.
[G3 General] toncij:
If working on universal root is not (much) more complicated than unlocking a specific model or if it doesn't even have anything to do with model, what would be your problem exactly?
[G3 General] sabret00the:
Are you asking me for the difference between unlocking a bootloader and obtaining root? Something that's currently available on all Android devices irrespective of OEM with a kernel branched before July 3rd? But irrespective of that, it's like me going into an HTC M7 thread and derailing it with questions/answers about a HTC M8.
[G3 General] toncij:
We've pledged for bootloader unlocking for D855; if devs that are on it know/see/think it is the same effort to work on bootloader unlock for all G3 phones, I don't see a problem. Different G3 models are probably not even close to being as different as M7 and M8 are.
[G3 General] jcase:
The m7 variants and m8 variants are nearly identical to each other.
[G3 General] bigdbag:
Why is a universal rooting method being worked on? TowelRoot and IORoot both work fine for all G3's as far as I know. And this is a thread for bootloader unlock, not rooting...
[G3 General] suljo94:
it is simple you need root to extract the boot files and towelroot stopped working on some devices(not sure about Ioroot) after a software update so they need to find a way to root these devices before they can do there magic on the bootloader
[G3 General] toncij:
Even better!
[G3 General] thecubed:
We are working on unlocking ALL variants. We don't really care about making the information about rooting and what works and what doesn't easily accessible right now, it's just not a priority. XDA already gives me anxiety just posting here. This place is crazy.

Bootloader unlock is secondary to root. Imagine this, we release an individual root for each phone - LG closes all the holes. We now have a much smaller attack surface for any future roots. We're looking for a broad-spectrum root for all the models. Until we have that, we're not planning on releasing anything (unless we change our minds, which is at our sole discretion). Once we have a root for all the phones and everyone is at a level playing ground, we'll go full steam ahead for unlock. Imagine it from my perspective: you go from reading .sh scripts looking for vulnerabilities to gain root level access, to reading IDA ASM and C dumps of low level ARM code looking for a way to turn a 1 into a 0 without writing anything anywhere. It's harder to both change gears like that back and forth, and to be honest, it's much less fun. That obviously isn't deterring us, but it's just something to think about.

Towelroot does not work on TMO or SPR. I don't care what the thread is about- there's buzz here and people are reading it, feel free to move my posts.
[G3 General] engine95:
To please some people, let's do rooting discussion here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2816060

Thanks thecubed for keeping us up to date on root/unlock
[G3 General] sabret00the:
See, there's the problem. It does suck for people with the T-Mobile variants and people who went and upgraded their phones, but this is the D855 thread and you're ignoring what people have pledged for in order to fix a minority issue. Everyone that gets a HTC for example, knows not to upgrade firmware before gaining S-OFF or risk being like certain variants that never gain the same freedom.

And to basically say you're spamming the thread for attention is rude. Though, I do thank you for the development you're doing even if it doesn't benefit me or anyone wanting a bootloader unlock directly. But please have enough respect for us all as to create a relevant thread so as we can follow this thread to see actual bootloader unlocking progression.
[G3 General] thecubed:
Don't take me for being rude, I'm not trying to be rude, my wit is a bit more acerbic than usual with regard to keeping everyone informed all the time. I tend to post where's convenient, especially if there's active readership in there. While *yes* I could create a new thread, and I will eventually, for quick updates it's easiest to just post here for now since one unlock = all unlocks. Might as well, since the bounty applies to all the phones effectively.

And no, the TMO variants never had root as far as I understand, and SPR has no root as of yet at all - not due to any OTA or the users fault.

If you're suggesting that I'm ignoring the D855 to fix a 'minority issue' (root on TMO/Sprint), that is incorrect. It's not just me and jcase and autoprime working on the unlock. Shelnutt2 has disassembled the bootloader, th3g1z has been looking into alternate unlock methods, and I've been poking into TZapps and other things looking for unlocks.

No specific work needs to be done for the D855, once we unlock ANY phone, D855 will get it too. If it upsets you that we're not focusing 100% of our energy on D855 unlock, I'm sorry, please remove your pledge. I'd rather you not pledge and get your unlock from some other vendor, I'm sure they'll clone ours once we release it.
[G3 General] shaarky:
I'm very sorry if this has been answered already (was searching for it, didn't find it) or if it's too early to ask, but :

- does the LG G3 has some e-fuse mechanism similar to S5 or unlocking of boot loader as well as unrooting will/might be reversible ? (D855)

I'm current happy owner of G2, but considering G3. Naturally without a root or with voiding permanently warranty, I will never go for G3 (my personal thoughts).

Thank you for your work btw ! :good:
[G3 General] thecubed:
It's LG, everything is reversible. We can reset almost anything on here, unless LG updates something on us.

Sorry to see this thread is not being used for it's intended purpose. I decided not to moan or complain at anyone for posting off topic as I didn't really like the idea of telling other forum members what to do especially when many were far longer standing members here than myself.

I will request the thread to be re-opened when we have some concrete news about the Bootloader on the G3, and also to help the Dev's collect the donations they have been offered.

Again sorry to see this thread has turned out this way, and I hope to be able to open it again sometime soon.
