Hello.

Apologies if this has been asked before, I searched and couldn't find anything.

I am using Duttys Wm6.5 HG R2 WWE ROM (Sense 2.5_5.2.21893.5.0.90) on the HD.

I am asking this here and not in the ROM's thread because it seems like a WM6.5 w/Sense 2.5 thing and not ROM specific...

I can lock the device (and see the HTC lock screen) manually just fine using the end hardware key or the lock soft key..

I was wondering if there's a way to set the device to auto-lock when the device goes into standby...

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Chompy
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] pckshd:
With Pocketshield it will lock automatically every time screen or device turns off.

You can also try a reg edit HKLM\ControlPanel\keybd\DeviceLockWhenSuspend=1

cheers
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] chompy18:
Yeah, I know pocket shild, and also S2U2... I was wondering about the default lock screen...

Unfortunately, I dont have that reg key... it's a HD with LEO based 6.5 ROM

another question i have: since i've installed s2u2, i wanted to know how i could disable the wm lockscreen, so i wno't have a double lockscreen?

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldenarmZ:
Looking for advice from someone that's worked inside the g1.. Is the trackball a sealed unit? Mine's getting clogged up with crap and won't move in certain directions sometimes.. I want to take it a apart and clean it but as far as I can see from the service manual, the trackball is a sealed unit. Is there any way to to unclog it?

Also, a couple of the keys on my keyboard are getting a bit flakey.. spacebar works intermittently and so does delete. How much effort is it to get behind the keys and give the board a wipe? It seems like to get that far I'll have to reduce my g1 to a pile of components.. is that really the only way?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
$10 gets you a whole new trackball, in any color you like!

http://www.blackberrytrackball.com/

(yes, rim phone trackballs are the same.)

Also please note that just because they are sold as single units and the service manual refers to them as single units does NOT mean that you can't take them apart. Judging by the pictures, they should come apart quite easily.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r4d14n7:
Trackball is fixed very very easily. If you have alcohol prep pads, those work the best, you can also use rubbing alcohol and q-tips.

Prep pads:

Turn phone off

Unfold prep pad

Place on trackball

Rub the hell out it, very vigorously in all directions.

Repeat a few times

Let phone sit for a few minutes to ensure alcohol has evaporated

Power on and test

Alcohol + Q-Tips:

Wash hands

Dip Q-Tip in alcohol

Dab a good amount onto the trackball

Rub trackball vigorously in all directions

Repeat a few times

Let phone sit for a few minutes to ensure alcohol has evaporated

Power on and test

As for the keyboard, I really hope someone has a fix for that cause my spacebar has been screwy and this is my second G1. I never type with dirty paws so I don't know what gives...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldenarmZ:
Thanks for the link, thats the best close-up picture I've seen. I'll try taking it apart and keep that in reserve for when I break it.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldenarmZ:
I've got some alcohol wipes somewhere.. I'll give that a blast before I go to the screwdrivers, thanks.

I think the spacebar thing is possibly pocket fluff or corrosion on the contact board.. I've not seen the g1's keyboard internals but the conductive paint they use on full size boards is prone to evaporating into thin air after a while. I've seen some unbelievably corroded ones. Fixing it is a delicate job but I've done it on a few laptops.

Seems to make a bigger difference on resource hogs like the Sense UI. I tried it running MoDaCo's Desire ROM and it seemed to be faster. I don't notice as much of a difference on Cyanogen ROM's. I am still keeping it installed, even running CM. It hasn't given me any problems and the phone does seem pretty snappy (Although not much better than before, with the Desire exception).
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ratson:
you are right, of course i wouldn't post it here if it couldn't run on N1 ;)

post is fixed now.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] seanowns:
Been using this the day I got my Nexus One. Does it work? I have no idea! I have no reference points to compare it with.

It's small though and certainly isnt causing any problems. Worst case it does nothing, oh well, best case it helps alot. Pretty sure thats a no-lose scenario.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Paul22000:
Incoming flood of posts about "killing apps is bad for your phone" :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Devastatin:
Shouldn't these types of things be posted here?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bmj1086:
And I guess I'll be the one to start.

Read my signature. 39 apps running and 0 apps running have the same responsiveness. Killing apps does nothing but free unneeded RAM.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] McFroger3:
Task Killers are needed, just not what some people are using them for. For example, the speedtest.net app has a bug where when you back out of the app, it still uses your gps draining your battery, having a task killer will allow you to close that program without having to reboot your phone.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bmj1086:
Lol that's funny because that app is the only reason I use a task killer. It is definitely needed for killing apps with bugs but not for keeping apps out of the RAM for no reason.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Paul22000:
A bit misleading....

I thought the video showed someone with 39 apps running comparing to 0 apps running.

=\
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ratson:
unfortunately there are many applications which cannot sleep properly, or don't release resources. (the most annoying I met with was TasKiller itself!!!) if you have the time to find out which are these one bye one, you can kill them any time you finish using them. but if you don't want to mess with this, setting lowmemory killer is the best approach as a fix.

"free" memory is not useless: it is always filled up with cache of your most used applications. so you get resource-consuming applications killed, and got cache with preloaded data your phone will probably use.

AutoKiller 2.0 is out

changelog:

* process manager added

* new ui

* lots of stability and speed improvements

* mb view by default
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] whodatfever:
Does running Advanced Task Manager alongside this app make sense? Is it redundant, helpful or hurtful?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pjcforpres:
You can just use the built in task killer to do that... menu, settings, apps(programs in a Desire ROM), manage apps, select the app(might want to hit menu, then select running apps only)... then force stop.

Granted, a task killer makes it quicker and easier to bring this list up, but it calls on the built in task killer to actually kill the task.

To the OP, great work! Looks nice! The ability to change how aggressive you want the auto task killing is nice to have, and it is nice to have eye candy when killing a rogue app. All though I don't ever use these sorts of apps, I like what you have done with yours!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ratson:
if you use ATM to kill apps, id is redundant, AK can do it too. ATM may hav some advanced features you need, please check it.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bmszabo:
Description dev says: "root required for all features to work"; does this mean some features work on the unrooted Nexus as well, or nothing at all??

I don't feel like rooting my Nexus, but am looking for a good taskkiller..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ratson:
Actually process manager part fully works without root (keep alive function connects to minfree and it wont work obviously) but it will just doesnt work, no FC or strange behaviour ;) I also would like to ask you to report back how it behaves on a non rooted device, as i could only test it in dev environments.

I think I read somewhere here on xda about someone manually configuring the OS to do something like what this app is doing. So this is better! :D Does it for you. That's what it's doing right? just configuring the built in android task killer automatically. (I read your FAQ):cool:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ratson:
yes thats it. it is always "working" , you just configure the memory limits...

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] benjatt:

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ratson:
the process manager actually.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] benjatt:
Thank you Ratson. Very clever work but I'm sticking with stock for now... even though I can see one very clear advantage here :)

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bloke226:
I have the presets, but the memory drops down to 120mb on the extreme setting and didn't free anything up....uninstalled.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ratson:
:) funny. the intention is far from keep as much memory free as possible. it would decrease system performance. the goal is to clean up processes which won't be used and therefore sit in the memory unnecessarily. i cannot await everyone to read and understand the technical details, but a question never hurt to anyone i guess.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
Yeah, people do need to understand what this actually does!

It does work, here's some empirical evidence:

With the same apps and usage:

On "Aggressive" I always have 120 - 170 MB Free

On "Extreme" I always have 160 - 220 MB Free

Of course the key is finding the right balance between free and utilised memory... there needs to be just enough free to load new apps but not so much free that required apps are removed from memory.

I like "Agressive" at the moment... :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bloke226:
I understand that to an extent, but it dropped down to 120mb and stayed that way for 5 hours straight and the phone was in idle most of those 5 hours. I would think some applications would be closed by the OS by then. I looked into spare parts and partial wake usage and found nothing significant that chewed up CPU or battery, besides email being the biggest app--probably due to syncing. The phone was running a little choppier without myself forcing apps to close with my previous task killer.

Still learning how linux based OSes work, coming from using Windows for 19 years hah, so let me know if I assume things to be wrong :p
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
Remember that free memory is unused memory... you only really need enough free to get the next thing done without killing other apps... it all depends on which apps you're using really... some apps will restart themselves in response to an event. It's a bit of art and science.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ratson:
yes, it is really complicated, but free memory is always useless memory. i suggest you to try some presets for a few days and see which fits best to you. and don't check free memory size, it is useless, check the snappiness and overall responsiveness instead...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bloke226:
thanks! will try this app then for the next couple of days and report back :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] oteroa:
I can't find the app in the market
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bloke226:
If you can't find it on the market, then your phone probably doesn't support it? At least that's what I've been told from T-Mobile reps :\
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ratson:
i was updating. you shall check it again.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] unleashed12:
Just installed this on my N1 running desire rom and omg..i noticed such a huge difference in speed..the rom no longer seems to lag..scrolling is much better.. went from like 109 mb free ram to about 170..so thats amazing..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] S_Dot:
lol!!!!!!:p
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SilverSurfR:
I understand this app is made for the N1 but does run and work on other devices. Would it be possible to adjust the default list of profiles (moderate, optimum, strict, etc) to be based on % of total memory of the device. As the current profile values would have no bearing on my lowly Magic.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ratson:
this was designed for android and not for N1. i started this on my Hero, which is very close to Magic in hw. for N1 users i only added 'Extreme' profile, but all the others will fit G1-M-Hero and all pre 2.0 devices as well, actually on my hero i had the best experience with Aggressive set, so you shall play with it. profiles based on available memory would lead to confusion, but you can always check what other Magic users like at my statistics page
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bloke226:
Been using it for a few days and love it. Phone seems snappy for the most part and I've started to let go of constantly checking how much available memory there is and killing off processes.

Autostart not working on Cyanogenmod 6

Hi,

I'm a happy user of minfreemanager, works like a charm, except for a minor but annoying detail.

After upgrading to CM6, the "set on boot" feature won't work. The 98minfree script in init.d/ is created. After checking, it looks like /sys/modules/lowmemorykiller does not exist when the script is run.

I had a similar problem with setting the swap, but I could fix it by creating (mknod) the mmcblk devices from the script. However, after searching for a while, I didn't find a fix for this minfreemanager issue.

Any idea what can be going wrong? I would try any suggestion in order to help.

Hardware: HTC Magic 32B

Software: CyanogenMod6

Thanks very much!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Wiggz:
Ratson - bravo on a very clever piece of software. I do have a couple of questions however.

The preset designations are as follows:

foreground app

visible apps

secondary server

hidden apps

content providers

empty apps

However I thought that these would relate to applications and their status when you click on the processes page. On there it shows foreground apps, background apps and services for instance. Is there a direct correlation between a hidden app (for instance) and a background app? Are they the same?

Foreground to foreground seems pretty obvious. I'm just trying to understand what apps fall in what category? I'm a little worried some of my widgets that update will be killed off and I want to check their "category"
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ratson:
MinfreeManager and AutoKiller are not the same.

Autokiller works on my Desire but sometimes when i open it, it gives me a black screen instead.

Sorry to ask but "what is the last version?"

Market report 4.10

Another question: how do you get the red numbers circles on icons?

Thank you
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ratson:
latest version is 4.10, you need to use ADW Launcher or ADW Launcher EX to get those free mem notifications

ok I got it and it is a fantastic software!

But I still have a question:

Why 4.10 does not retain setings; I pretty much 50% of the time have to re-enter tweak.

I tought it was because of the tweak level I set but even with medium.

Hello!

Thanks for such a useful app, incredible boost for my SGS battery life and smoothness! Can't live without it.

However, my donator stats are not remembered if my 3G/wifi is off at that moment.

I tried booting phone, opening AK while net connectivity is present, it says "Thanks"

Then I close app. Disable net. Reopen app, it says "Can't find donator status"

Isn't it supposed to remember it? Regardless of net connection?

Or am I wrong?

As an alternative or complementary app, there is Process Monitor Widget which have a few basic settings for auto-killing, and also features a process activity recording!

Just great to find which apps is behaving badly on the phone! Allowed me to get rid of bad widgets and apps consuming all my battery!
