"advised to wait" ho hum ...

I'm sorry, but this is a post typical of this "debate" over SDHC. "Waiting for Godot" - a stage play perfectly describing such a post !

Until we KNOW the hardware & software developers are actually in the same universe, we have to do it ourselves.

This may be helpful to our devs to

resolve the sluggish video performance in NOOK HD / HD+ (TI OMAP Chip)

:

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/galaxy-nexus-gets-new-life-with-updated-gpu-drivers/

The current video driver used makes demonstrates the sluggishness in video performance as shown here:

http://xdaforums.com/nook-hd/help/nook-hd-embarrassingly-slow-t2837028/post54587754#post54587754

Once updated, the Nook HD / HD+ should be able to demonstrate smooth video performance as the Amazon Kindle Fire 8.9, which uses the same TI OMAP Chip

Just a thought that if the cm maintainers do bring L to the nooks, and if that required newer video driver, then they would or else there would be no L on the nooks. Otherwise, I'm not so sure they would spend the time to do so if it required too much work.

Course, there's always the thought of someone else doing it.

Busy with work and such, then had a baby a month ago. I'm up every few hours at night anyways so figured I might as well look into this.

About an hour into the build, it will probably finish but I noticed I'm missing some build patches to make things work, so it likely won't boot.

Using the HD more often lately, its smoother and more convenient, also the HD+ is setup playing lullaby tracks 24/7 so I just leave it be.

Just moved and between jobs and school, so maybe we'll see some lollipop love for this old gem of a tablet.

And yes mint 17 really improved cinnamon monumentally. Its been amazing so far.

Might have been better off trying to build off cm12 staging branch, not sure though, throwing errors about everything. I'll diff some things tomorrow possibly, see if I can at least get a nook build to finish, even if it won't boot.

No reason to anticipate a successful build though, it was looking pretty bad lol.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Nolfer:
Congratulations! Must be hard the dad's life :p

By the way, I tried the new slimkat. Head there, I think that there are some archives that the guy uploaded that might prove resourceful (I think I saw some "drivers" "OMAP" folders inside these archives. Also, the rom has a polished look, and I think we can infer that optimizations and updates to the graphic drivers are there). Dunno, certainly worth a try

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] bluudiestark:
Can anyone tell if there is a quick and easy fix to call lag - force incallui to memory or something in stock Sony JB ROM? I know in some 4.4 AOSP roms it is fixed, but do you know how can I interpret it in stock rom?

There's xposed module called 'App settings' that supposedly let's you lock certain apps into memory (along other features), but it doesn't seem to work. Any help appreciated :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Moaki:
Would love a fix for the Xperia U to, but I'm afraid that the stock roms will never get a decent Phone. Devs have gone a long way with the sources, but they are only used in the next versions. Blame Sony for never fixing the Phone. It's broken since ICS. They never bothered to fix it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Moaki:
After looking into several tricks to get the PhoneApp locked into the memory, I tried to install xposed framework with the module "app settings". In this module I've made com.sonyericsson.android.socialphonebook and com.android.phone resident. This means these two apps should be locked into the memory. The most recent calls I've received went smooth without any lagg. Testing further if this is a permanent solution for stock rom. I'm running devswifts v7 light stock jb.

old method:

creating local.prop in /data and adding the following lines

- sys.keep_app_1=com.android.phone

- sys.keep_app_2=com.sonyericsson.android.socialphonebook

did not work for me

[Moto X Q&A] reyxlp:
I've done a lot of searching but have come across different ways to do the same thing and am not sure what makes the most sense for me.

Thanks in advance for anyone willing to take a minute to point me in the right direction:

Just got my (1st gen) Moto X Developer Edition on Verizon.

I want to:

(1) Root

(2) Enable native hotspot

(3) Disable write protection (so Adobe flash APK will stick through reboot, etc.)

(4) Disable (or enable again, if I want to) OTA updates

Looking to keep phone as bloat free as possible.

Again, anyone willing to point me in the right direction, many thanks to you.
[Moto X Q&A] nhizzat:
1. Is your bootloader unlocked?

2. If so, follow the guides to root. If not, follow the guide to unlock your bootloader.

3. Unlocking the bootloader disables write protection.

4. Once rooted, freeze MotoOTA.

5. Either install Xposed and install Moto Tether or flash the entitlement bypass.
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
For 1 and 3.

For ALL Developer Editions Moto X, and some carrier editions (Like T-Mobile, Sprint, Rogers and others), Motorola freely gives away the BootLoader Unlock codes when requested On Motorola's Web SIte. In the case of the Non-Developer Editions, it voids their warranty to request the code. However, for some carriers (like ATT, non-DE Verizon and republic Wireless in the USA) motorola does not give out the unlock code.

So when you get your X, get the unlock code from Moto's web site and follow the instructions to unlock. That will disable write protection.

After have an UNLocked boot loader, you may root by following -> http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/moto-x-qa/instructions-unlocking-rooting-dev-ed-t2649738 Please be sure to use the latest TWRP fastboot IMG file and Installable ZIP of SuperSU

#4 use a root capable file explorer. To rename 3C_OTA.apk and 3c_ota.odex. They are found in /system/priv-app. (Don't delete them because you'll need them for the next OTA)

#3. See -> http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/moto-x-qa/xt-1060-native-tether-4-4-4-unlocked-t2900368 there are 3 options in there and I have my explanation of what I use and why in that thread.
[Moto X Q&A] reyxlp:
Thanks, gents, very much!

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I already unlocked the bootloader but I really appreciate pointing me in the right direction on the other stuff!

I've done this on my Razr M and Ultra Maxx prior but am new to the Moto X.

Hopefully I can take it from here.

Thanks again!

just make sure you are rooted with supersu or something

[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] 2020vision:
hello,

I have an O2 XDA Orbit for the past 4 weeks but have had an ongoing

problem that when I install some programs the phone just keeps going

round and round soft resetting itself!!!

I have tried to eliminate which program (if any one in particular) is causing

this and I have now had enough. The ONLY way to stop this happening is to

remove the battery. Then I have to do a hard reset and lose all the programs

that I have installed. I even used SPB backup to help things along and even

when I think I have got a good working setup that can be re-installed the

phone can repeat this behaviour some time later for no apparent reason.

Also if I add a couple more programs it then happens again anyway.

Does anyone have any idea why this is and how I can fix it PLEASE?

It's driving me nuts, I love the phone but can not be doing with this.

I list below the details from the boot up screeen in case they are of help:

1.25.0001

1.25.0000

02.67.90

1.25.0.0

If anyone has a solution it would be most appreciated, THANKS.

If you have any other questions please ask.

All the best - Michael :mad:
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] Lord Buckingham:
And what programs did you add, a list would probably help
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] 2020vision:
These are among them but...

Hi and thanks for interest but as I said above I do not seem able

to find out which program (if any) is the culprit? Even when I have installed

a few and made a "stable" backup a few soft resets later and it happens

again! It's doing my head in. I have tried different programs in various order

and things appear to be fine - then repeated soft reset going round and round

and the only way to stop is remove battery and hard reset, re-install programs

and do it all over again. Even the "stable" backups appear to be no good???

It occasionally happens with only a few programs installed! Would a "firmware"

upgrade be possible or help do you think? How would that be done safely?

However, here is a list of programs tried - I had to do a hard reset to get these:

anton tomov pocketmechanic

binaryfish all mobile mines

blue point studio pocket earth

conduits pocket player

dinarsoft memaid

electric pocket ringo

handmark tetris, monopoly and trivial pursuit

lakeridge wisbar lite

omega one dominoes and checkers

opera browser

pocketmax pocketwords

pocketmind pocketmusic

resco keyboard

resco picture viewer

spb backup

spb clearvue pdf

spb gprs monitor

spb pocket plus

webis pocket informant 2007

That's it - in no special order or combination...

I personally can not find any one of them as being responsible?

In case you are wondering the phone came already unlocked from O2 as an

upgrade. I am on Virgin, it has a 1gig micro sd card fitted.

Hoping someone will have the answer, many thanks,

All the best - Michael
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] 2020vision:
P.S. I have other programs I would like to install but it seems so futile at

the moment. I also forgot to say that tomtom navigator 6 is installed too.

And generally speaking when the programs are running without any bother

they all seem to work fine, no crashes or hangs, hope this helps?

Finally, I am using Microsoft Activesync 4.2 and it seems to make no

difference whether programs are installed in main memory or storage card?

Thanks again - Michael
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] vijay555:
anton tomov pocketmechanic is low level software so most likely to cause issues.

But really, just try installing only a few of the apps and using it for a few days. Random resets are unusual of course, and if it was hardware or firmware, it would happen all the time. But if it doesn't happen after a hard reset, your issue is software, not hardware/firmware.

Hi All,

Well what can I say? I have been very careful and am STILL with this lousy

problem! Had enough, feel like chucking the rotten thing in the bin!

Would it be any good or easy for me to update the ROM, WM5, or anything

else that may help? It is already unlocked.

It's no good to me if I am not able to run the programs that I want, unless

they are known to cause problems? But right now it's about impossible to

If so, I have no chance of working it out?

[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] ojster21:
Orbit reboots constantly

I also have a brand new orbit, which also started constantly rebooting :mad: after installing loads of software.

I eventually fixed it by removing the storage card (containing SK Tools) removing that software maually with a card adapter.

Meanwhile I rebooted the phone without the card, it managed to boot properly. I removed the program (in system settings) and then turned it off and replaced the card. It now works fine.:)

I think SK Tools is the main offender! But if you still want a list of my installed progs, just ask.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] hb328_dtdd:
It's not just SKTools m8, nothing really to do with any particular program to be honest. When installing a program, when finished it should have an OK button at top right hand corner, if it doesn't then you know as soon as you reboot it will go round in loops. The only way to prevent this if you don't see the OK button is to un-install the program before rebooting, then try and install it again, it will work, it's just some programs don't work first time. ALSO any programs which at end of installation say something like "ppc must now be rebooted, do you wish to reboot now? press ok for now or cancel to continue" you SHOULD NOT let the program reboot your system as that will again cause the orbit to go round in loops again, you should press cancel (the program has still been installed don't worry) then hold the power button down until the shut down message pops up, then shut down manually and restart, that way it will work fine. Trust me, I've sussed it out from like day two.
