Saaaaaaaaaavve meeeeeeee!!

Ok, so I've had this app installed, and its been awesome.

Buuut I've ran into 2 problems. First and foremost, it kills my web browser every time my screen dies!! (Dolphin browser hd on samsung epic 4g, 2.1 stock).

That sucks cus I like to have multiple tabs open throughout the day, and when I slip my phone in my pocket its all gone.

It would be awesome to have a feature to not let the app affect other apps.

Second, major, problem. I can't uninstall it! I mean, I uninstall it, its off my app list, but it still closes my browser and notifies me in my notification window.

Any help would be greatly appriciated.

I like the app, I just need to be able to keep using my browser.

Sorry if I'm dumb, I'm relatively new to android.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ofulanof:
Are you sure you have this AutoKiller? AutoKiller does not notify about killing or kill any apps. It just tweaks Android system to be more careful about apps.

Either way, make sure you don't use "Aggressive" preset or higher.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ratson:
actually you can use Agressive or harder as well till it works fine for you. if AutoKiller is uninstalled you need to reboot to get system default values, but the same can be achieved if you select the default preset.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jtegg007:
Yea, I'm certain of what I'm using... same name, same look as screen shots, same values...

It doesn't say what its killed, just how much memory its free'd... and even after uninstall and reboot, it still keeps killing apps....

Either way, it does its job, lol. My phone is definatly faster.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] .:Crack:.:
what are the best values?

Thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ofulanof:
There is no such setting best for every device.

You should try and see yourself.

There are Statistics page on AndRS site, which shows top used settings for each device.

I myself use Aggressive preset on my SGS 2.2.1 with very few apps installed. I'm very happy with it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tkgod:
Does Autokiller still have use now with Gingerbread? Or has Gingerbread significantly improved on killing unneeded apps and processes?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ratson:
AutoKiller has effect on linux kernel settings, so whatever version of Android is running on top of it, it will work.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ewingr:
I have been using Autokiller for a while. I currently have Serindipity 5.12 ROM. It is a 2.2.1 Android JPY based, I believe.

Anyway, it seems AutoKiller isn't doing the job any more. I can even set it to Extreme, and then after a while, I will be at 45MB of memory. I have even put Autostarts on, and set it to not auto load many programs.

Another thing is, I have found the same program listed twice in the Processes list, with the same PID. I don't recollect this.

By the way, I am running SuckerPunch Kernel, #51.

Any toughts?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ratson:
Hi,

a few points to declare:

- AutoKiller's job is to tune minfree kernel settings. till Android uses linux kernel and the device is properly rooted it will work whatever android version/kernel is used

- to verify if minfree values are set please select a preset and see if the values are changed in the edit boxes. if the new values remain after a boot than everything is working fine

- setting a treshold doesn't mean that applications will be killed till the free memory level is reached, so it is very normal that your available memory drops way below it. the real gain is performance, and no lag over time. everyone has better stop watching free memory, it is misleading.

hope this helps ;)

Quick request. Can the settings for lowered oom values for apps be restored at startup, just like the memory threshold settings? I have to manually lower the oom for a task every time I boot.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Javi22:
Two questions:

-On the icon, the number that appear in the widget don´t show the real free memory, and I have to open the app to actualize it.

-does the app consume any battery?

thanks!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ratson:
oom is managed by system so there is no real use of fighting with it...

the free mem counter is updated every 15 minutes, on (AutoKiller) app start or when the phone comes back from sleep. if you wish I can add a bit more regular update, the reason is to save as much battery as possible.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AbsintheSyringe:
It seems like this app doesn't do anything for me anymore, and that it's useless on Gingerbread 2.3.3 (Nexus S).

After I change presets and apply them, memory level remain the same.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ratson:
in this case your phone doesn't run on a linux kernel :)

this app is working on every rooted android versions.

"Apply on boot" option on Advanced Tweaks

Hi,

I have a question about the Advanced system tweaks. I applied all of them and my phone is working fine so far. But there is an option called "Apply on boot" that it's described as "Changes will be applied upon first application start". I can't select this because I must donate to have it enabled. Can someone explain me what this option does? When I reboot my phone all the advanced options are still enabled.

Thanks in advance and regards,

JC

Thanks for ending my suffering.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] cstone1991:
FWIW since I flashed 2.3, autokiller hasn't seemed to make much of a difference for me. It seems that gb may be better at managing memory than froyo was. This app was a necessity on froyo though. For anyone wondering, I have an HTC Eris and the main roms that I've tested autokiller on were kaosfroyo (cyanogen based 2.2) and gsb (cyanogen based 2.3). Since I have an Eris with much less ram to begin with than most of you have with an n1, I would imagine that gains from increased free memory would be more noticable on my phone. I mean no disrespect to the dev, I just wanted to share my experiences with everyone. Of course, as always results could definitely vary with different phones.

On another note, an app that you guys might also want to check out by the same dev is called "autorun manager" I think. It lets you stop apps from running at startup, this definitely helps me save some battery life since I can stop apps from autorunning if I don't use them often.

App slowing down my SGS (?)

I was very pleased with the app in the beginning - it seemed to somehow prevent unwanted shutdowns of Launcher Pro and my SGS with Darky 10.2.2 seemed to run more smoothly. I purchased the pro version. But then, when activating alternative presets for screen-off-times, I noticed that after a while when waking my phone up no more messages appeared indicating that Autokiller had switched the preset. When I started the app, I was then told I had not chosen any preset yet - which wasn't true. So, somehow not only the app must have been killed in the meanwhile but also the memory limits must have been reverted back to system derault - strange. Also, my phone started to get really slow and laggy after some time. A process manager told me, that the Android System used a lot of CPU-time. Rebooting helped but after the slowing down occured again and again. This problem stopped after I uninstalled Autokiller and reappeared instantly upon reinstallation. First I suspected Juice Defender and Wave Launcher to be responsible for the slowing down if my phone but uninstalling them didn't help. Do you have any explanation for that? has anyone experienced anything similar?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ratson:
Actually if you experience such issues I need more details to solve it, please write me a mail, and possibly attach a logcat about boot to let me see why it fails to restore settings.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Agnus73:
Ok, I will post you an PN. But the problem is not the boot process - the app readily starts there but stops running after a few hours latest. Main issue is the slowing down though I think.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Agnus73:
I think I need to correct myself: after more thorough testing it seems like Autokiller was not responsible for the speed issued I described. I am sorry! The issue with the stopping alternative preset settings remains though. I would still be interested in what I can do about it because this feature appears very reasonable to me.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ewingr:
I tried to implement the advanced settings:Network, and WIFI. I was expecting between the two that it would slow the frequency of scanning of the network. I find it is still scanning evert 5 seconds, even when I am hooked to my home wifi.

Do these settings not work on a Captivate? Or are my expectations wrong?

How do I get the voicemails from people who call my regular cell number to show up un my google voice thing?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmitriandsnow:
naw you can't do that... give your gv to everyone if you don't want to check both the "messages" and the "voice" inboxes...it works out though...e.g., i give my gv number to everyone but my family so the gv inbox stays uncluttered...
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coldsweat:
yes, its very easily done.

In your Google Voice settings you can add your phone number to the account. You can then 'attach' that phone number (your original) to the google voice number just for voice messages. If you are using sprint there is a specific link in google voice that will send you the number you need to dial in your phone. Once you do that it will be set up. You then just go into your Call Settings and set Google Voice as your voicemail provider.

Done and working here...
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaag27:
Awesome worked great. Thanks so much :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmitriandsnow:
ooops misread and thought you were talking about sms !

Edit: actually you can forward those from GV to regular inbox, not the other way around though...
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] someonenewhere:
how do i change my voicemail greeting though?

I don't like it when i call and I hear "thanks for calling a google voice mail user" blah blah ...
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] centran:
Why don't you go looking around in your settings and read up on some of the features of google voice?

One of the nicer things you can do is have different greetings for different people or groups of people.

You can do some other pretty cool stuff if you get a google voice number and start using that as your main number.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmitriandsnow:
if you record your name,,, she will say "someonesomewhere" is not available but if you record a totally different greeting then you'll just replace her entirely...

i changed the greeting for the google number..

but when I call my sprint number i get that google message as well....

SO I recently got a data plan and hard reset my phone. I set up all my emails and facebook account. What does setting up a youtube account do??? The youtube app doesnt even have the option for me to view my subscriptions or recently posted videos by my subscriptions (have to manually search for them PITA) so what use does it have? Also you can not select the US as a region in the settings for the youtube app (only worldwide). if anyone can shed light on the situation it would be appreciated.

Can someone explain me how to do this?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Contact some devs like beenham, but DON'T run anything on your phone that you're not sure about.

We'll need to get a dump without 'contaminating' it, which could be difficult unless fastboot is unlocked.

Try this (non destructive) command through a command prompt with adb installed.

1) Does anyone think the latest amon_ra for hero will work?

If so, then try

fastboot boot c:\path\to\recoveryfilename.img

with the correct path there.

2) See if you get anywhere. If you do, be sure to do a nandroid backup of the system. That would do as a dump to begin with. I'm sure someone more knowledgable (like nprussell or beenham) will be able to come along with more info...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
a dump would be the boot.img and system.img from a nandroid backup.

is there a custom recovery for the legend yet?

I have been looking at a few catalogue site's such as very.co.uk as these seem to ship the devices direct from the make instead of keeping stock. over the last few days the lead time had been 3week, then 2week, the yesterday 3weeks, and i called them and they have advised that they are unable to supply at the moment as supplier shortage, could this maybe be due to new rom version being released in sync with the USA release of the HD2?
[HD2 General] ozkaya:
T-Mob should be pulling the devices I say.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
no, nothing to do with sync release,purely down to demand. the networks couldn't get enough from one week to the next, and now the operators seem to be shipping unlocked units instead of rom locked ones.my guess is because they are shIpping them as fast as they can build them.
[HD2 General] mikebuzz:
i did think that, but it would seem that the a UK distributor has 43 in stock, these supply most online stores, but seems anyone trying to get direct is having issues
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
awww how sweet, believing a suppliers quoted stock.

hehe sorry couldn't resist. having worked for a number of electronics retailer website s I can assure you that the stock level is an arbitrary number, often not even made up by a person. I worked for one place where the stock level of items on the website was generated by a random number generator, and then counted down to zero using a small counting program on the server.never held any relationto actual stock levels.
[HD2 General] Shadowdh:

When using the stock messaging I start typing the name of the contact and it shows. I guess I'm not understand your question. Or just access the contact first then select to send the message. Handset is a good replace in the fact of the options to customize far more that the stock.

Just wondering if all home replacements will be a bit slower than the standard launcher. Home++ is pretty minimal and snappy but I still see a very minor speed difference. Is this the program or will the structure of Android will always have replacements run slower?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grainysand:
When I used Home++, I found it faster than stock, actually. GDE and OpenHome sucked ginormous dongs, though, and PandaHome just looks horrible.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shograt:
Huh. I've been using GDE for the past two weeks or so, and have found it to be basically the same speed as stock. Can't recall which others I tried, but some didn't support live wallpapers, some didn't have a dedicated phone button across all home screens, and some just seemed expensive (at least as far as themes were concerned).

I also dug that I could increase / reduce the amount of home screens. Since I don't need more than three (two devoted to widgets, one with several app docks), I set mine to four, one blank for live wallpaper enjoyment.

However, mileage apparently varies, given the comment above mine. Don't know why the same app would run at different speeds on the same machine...

I tried GDE a long time ago, so it was probably an earlier version. It laaaaagggged like anything, though I liked the 3D cubic thing.
