According to my experience with HTC Magic using PERFCLOCK settings actually performs better than adjusting cpu clock with an app.

You CAN indeed change screen-on and scree-off frequencies but you need to do it at the kernel level.

Hi I request that there should be a single Topic to show all the ROMs from the best to the worst ones and or if anyone could point me that which is the best android 2.1 based custom rom for magic 32b thanks....I want something cool and visualy stunning as in the UI. THANKS in advance!

Well.. get yourself a pizza, some coffee, a night to spend and start making own.

Of course, this WOULD be great, but somebody has to do it. Why not you?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] KAwAtA:
Your thread is only contributing to the unorganization. I agree with the guy above, make your own! I made my own, with bookmarks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] edru:
This is when i ask why ANYTHING other than ROMs are in this section of the forum since its development...

Figured crap like this would go in GENERAL section or something. Same with all the people asking for help and why apps dont work...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Tourist!:
anyone cooking a GCC (english-arabic) ROM soon ?
[XPERIA X10 General] Tri3Dent:
Just a question for all of those people who pre-ordered online at Rogers.com. When you finish pre-ordering, you should have gotten a confirmation email. Did you get any other emails like a shipping with a tracking number?

I got the confirmation email and that's it. I was just wondering if others is the same as me.

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 General] gavriel18:
Yeah I preordered on april 6. Got a confirmation number in an email right away. I called today and so far no tracking numbers are available. I am waiting till dinner time and Im going to try again. I just want this phone so bad :)
[XPERIA X10 General] forzanerazzurri:
How did you order it? Every time I try to port my number from Fido it gives me an error. Rogers gives me some BS on the phone and I give up. I think they are goign to show up in the stores on Friday but noone knows. Total bloody incompetence with Rogers once again.
[XPERIA X10 General] gavriel18:
Im adding a line instead of porting over (and keeping the second line to shorten the time between upgrades) but a rep told me you could preorder now and finish up the port after you get the phone. BUT beware Rogers reps are full of bs and you will get different answers everytime you call.
[XPERIA X10 General] Tri3Dent:
Yea, the rep told me to pre-order with a new number and when I get the phone, phone them and do the port over then.

It just bothers me that there is a possibility of getting the phone AFTER it launches (April 15, 2010). If so, then what's the point of me pre-ordering other than getting the bt headset for free.
[XPERIA X10 General] gavriel18:
What?? If I get it after the 15th I am going to s**t bricks. And people are dissappointed with SE's delays. Its seems like a match made in heaven SE and Rogers lol.

PS: did you see the fine print? Your going to have to wait an additional 2-4 weeks for delivery of the headset.
[XPERIA X10 General] tuxStyle:
Sou you get the bluetooth only if you preorder? :confused:

And only before April 15?
[XPERIA X10 General] Tri3Dent:
Yea well HOPEFULLY we all get it ON or BEFORE the 15th. Anyday after that would be stupid. The Rogers stores will probably have it on the 15th since I read some article stating that the phone is shipping to stores. If that's the case, that means even though we preordered, we won't be the first ones to get it =(

Hopefully we get the tracking number soon....
[XPERIA X10 General] tuxStyle:
Well, at least you will get the bluetooth for free which means around 70$ saved ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] forzanerazzurri:
I talked to a store today in Calgary here that had a rep in at the time and they said the phones were in shipment right now to the stores for Friday (as stated before). I would rather order it online for the headset but am worried about a delay. You would think you would get it SOONER that way, especially considering they said order it by the 9th for delivery on the 12th LOL. Oh Rogers.
[XPERIA X10 General] WunKrazyAzn:
I talked to one of the rep at rogers and they told me they are getting it next month O_O
[XPERIA X10 General] Tri3Dent:
lol that's totally wrong..

But yea.. I guess the idea of pre-ordering is so that you WILL get it on launch day at least.
[XPERIA X10 General] tuxStyle:
Haha, this is good ... for me at least ... i'll have time to decide if is worth to pay 550 + tax to get it.
[XPERIA X10 General] gavriel18:
So I just spoke with a supervisor and he said that he promised me it would be in my hands by this friday. I asked him why I would preorder just so I could get it after everyone else. He responded that for preordering we are getting a $10 activation credit and the headset for free and locking in a "supposedly" better price. And they also said I would get emailed a tracking number as soon as its available. Got my fingers crossed it comes this week!
[XPERIA X10 General] Tri3Dent:
nice! thanks gavriel18 for the update!

Got a question for you guys again. When you preordered, it asks how you want to ship. It gives you 3 options:

Canada Post

UPS

Saturday service

Which one did you pick? I chose UPS.
[XPERIA X10 General] WunKrazyAzn:
lucky for you guys , i dont think i can preorder cause im doing hardware upgrade( only able to do hardware after april 15 ) o_o.. Hmm i should try calling and see what they can do
[XPERIA X10 General] gavriel18:
No prob Tri3dent, I think we're all squirming to get this phone.

And azn youre the lucky one because youre probably going to get your phone first even though I ordered mine within 24 hours of the preorder site going up.
[XPERIA X10 General] Tri3Dent:
Hey guys, just called into Rogers and they already have the tracking number in their systems. I still haven't received my tracking EMAIL but I do have the tracking number. I will be getting it tomorrow!
[XPERIA X10 General] gavriel18:
Nice what day did you place the order? I didnt get the email yet but Im calling now. Thank you for the update!!
[XPERIA X10 General] Tri3Dent:
Hey gavriel18, I placed my order on the same day as you. Your phone should be on your way now!
[XPERIA X10 General] umirza85:
I just pre-ordered mine for 99.99 and she doubled my data from 500mb to 1gb for free.
[XPERIA X10 General] gavriel18:

Now did you create a new number? I am scared to do so, I want to port my number from fido but it wont allow it on the site.
[XPERIA X10 General] gavriel18:
yeah i got a new number on an add a line for my lil bro. lucky kid gets to choose between an x1 and iphone 3g and he wants the x1 f*** yea ;-) but a friend of mine was told to get a new number and they would port the other one after he gets the phone

[XPERIA X10 General] Tri3Dent:
Just get the phone with a new number (so basically start like a new customer). When you have received your phone, you should have a Rogers number. Phone into customer service and get them port over your phone number and tell them to REPLACE the Rogers number.
[XPERIA X10 General] tuxStyle:
Today is 15.

It should be available at Rogers shops.

Did anyone check them to see if they have it in stock?
[XPERIA X10 General] Udonitron:
Hey everyone,

Switch my month to month over to the current deal last night via a phone rep as the X10 online pre-order was gimped (Roger's site was getting hammered and thus getting SQL errors int he checkout). Did the hardware upgrade route but WHERE are the X10's in stores!? = ( Every Rogers store & Futureslop I called was met with a rude response saying they do not have shipments and to wait a week or two? Seriously!? You have known about this phone and launch date for ages so why not have stock BEFORE launch to know it is ready the day of? Now I am stuck with this plan and no phone for 1-2 weeks!? Argh...
[XPERIA X10 General] tuxStyle:
I went to a Rogers Plus store in Montreal.

They have it on stock but they sell it only with a new subscription or with the upgrade program (for which i'm not qualified).

After, i went to another independent shop.

They have it too but they only sell it if i get extended warranty 80 CAD$ and the phone price is 600 CAD (instead of the announced price 559$) which means around 780$ :o.

Stupid Rogers :(
[XPERIA X10 General] Udonitron:
Wow that is ridiculous! How can they sell if for more than Rogers advertising it for? NO ONE has it! = (
[XPERIA X10 General] tuxStyle:
Well, i see it on stock at Best Buy too but i have to drive there.

There is no Best Buy in downtown Montreal :lol: so, until Saturday i can't do anything about it.

I'll try later to another Rogers shop, maybe i'll be lucky :)
[XPERIA X10 General] Udonitron:
$100 and free double data? How so? I thought it was $149?
[XPERIA X10 General] forzanerazzurri:
Just grabbed this phone in black (girlfriend got white) from one of the Rogers stores and it is one amazing device. I have an ipod touch and an X1 and I can safely say this was not a mistake whatsoever. This phone is stunning. MUCH better than i imagined it would be after hearing the picky reviews. The phone is fast, responsive, gorgeous screen, solid build, perfection. Thanks SE.

If you have any questions about it lemme know.
[XPERIA X10 General] umirza85:
Just got a call from the Rogers rep that my phone shipped today, cant wait. I should get it by saturday.

Not sure i was just really nice with the rep, they will usually do a lot for you when you're patient and nice to them. Besides I have 3 cell phones, internet, and tv through rogers, Ive been with them since 2001 and only upgraded my phone once. She said there was a note on my account to offer me a good deal on a cell phone, then i just politely asked if its possible to double my data to 1gb because that is the minimum amount you can have to tether your phone for free. I know that 500mb -> 1gb is only $5/month charge but still guess it didnt hurt to ask.
[XPERIA X10 General] WunKrazyAzn:
Just got back from rogers , they said they didnt have any in stock =(
[XPERIA X10 General] Tri3Dent:
If anyone is getting it on a new contract, now is the time to get free 6pm early evenings. Telus is having a promo of free 6pm early evenings so you can negotiate with that.
[XPERIA X10 General] forzanerazzurri:
Got that without even asking. Also got 6 months free unlimited calling
[XPERIA X10 General] Udonitron:
Well damn..they did not offer me the 6 months free nor the 60 pm early evenings and I just started a new 3 year contract :( I think I got 2 months free? I have to ask
[XPERIA X10 General] Maedhros:
do we get the MW600 if we did a HUP through the phone?
[XPERIA X10 General] Tri3Dent:
you have to phone in to csr and ask them. say that rogers has a 6 months promotion of unlimited local talk and was wondering if there is 6pm early evenings too since TELUS has that now.

[XPERIA X10 General] BluechipJ:
There's a thread on HowardForums/Rogers with stock information for various stores: http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1636631

I ordered mine on Thursday (discounted no-term since I'm not HUP eligible). Have a tracking number, but according to UPS, it hasn't left the warehouse yet.
[XPERIA X10 General] gavriel18:
dont use timescape :-)
[XPERIA X10 General] tuxStyle:
Well, my point of view is different.

What's the point to buy X10 if you disable all the features?

I'm not going to disable:

- wireless: i'm almost always near a wireless network.

- 3G: when i go out of wireless coverage i don't want slow GPRS speeds.

- bluetooth: i listen music almost all the time

- push: i want gmail and facebook to be in sync

So, this said, there are not many things :P left

- GPS: disabled

- Auditor/task to kill some apps

- Lowered brightness

- I won't use weather/news & other widgets

(checking for other tips)

After 2nd charge my batter is at 15% after 13h

My old 5800XM was drained in about 12h :) doing the same things so, way better on X10.
[XPERIA X10 General] gavriel18:
We have completely different views. I bought this phone for hardware specs and android. It has nothing to do with SE and I don't want their bloatware. I could have gotten an n1 but the price is so much higher (than my carrier subsidized x10 price) and if I were to spend that much on a phone I would want the hd2.

I don't use timescape but I do use mediascape, google maps with agps on, regular voice sms and data usage, with brightness set to about 80% and a task killer and my battery lasts the day about 14-15 hours. Thats decent imho

PS. 3G is always on. I never turn it off
[XPERIA X10 General] gavriel18:
And I don't know how you could go without GPS in montreal, that cities confusing ( beautiful but confusing)
[XPERIA X10 General] tuxStyle:
Well, maybe when i'll be lost i'll use it :) but never happened in 3 years and i didn't have a GPS ...

I have a map in my car ... just in case ... so, no need for GPS anyway.
[XPERIA X10 General] tuxStyle:
:eek:Rogers have crap data plans ...

Lucky i have wireless 90% of the time.

For the other 10% i guess i have to keep the 5800xm.

Pity i can't tether X10 with 5800xm :(
[XPERIA X10 General] gavriel18:
lol yeah straight garbage. Re you new to canada? Carriers have been like this for years here. Back in 2006 I was paying around $80 per month for 1gb data!

All they offered me was $5 off my bill for 12 months and told me to spend that $60 on a headset lol. Now i guess im +$60 and have a headset. Thanks!... oh and the $50 mir.

there you go. glad to return the favour.
[XPERIA X10 General] Davindy:
Awesome, thank you!

Just so that everyone is aware of this as well......if you purchased your phone through Rogers by calling them and waiting for your phone to be shipped, make sure you got the evenings and weekends starting at 6PM.

Rogers was offering incentive to new X10 owners to buy from them instead of going to a store by offering this deal. So if you ordered your X10 directly from Rogers make sure you have evenings and weekends staring at 6PM......if not call and *****, tell them this is the only reason you went with them instead of going out and purchasing the phone from a store.
[XPERIA X10 General] wai_lai416:
that's not true, they will only mail you the MW600 if you did a HUP with a 3yr renewal. if you didn't preorder the phone as a new cx. then you are out of luck, just go to that link at the bottom of the coupon that shows you the details

[Hero, G2 Touch General] StrongOneX:
Whenever i launch the stock sense music app, all album arts are a picture of eminem reloading a silver gun, which are completely wrong album art.. I've tried to delete album thumb from sdcard and rebooted my phone many times. Its pretty annoying when i got 1100 songs and all of them got slim shady album art!

Please help :/
[Hero, G2 Touch General] craig0r:
Haha no one needs that much Slim Shady. :P

I have similar strange issues with the Music app. Not that severe, most of my art shows up properly, but some of it just won't show up no matter what I do. I've even formatted my SD card and put my music back fresh. I'm wondering if the Music app has some sort of cache for album art that's stored on the phone itself. Next time I flash a new ROM, I will try formatting my SD card at the same time to make sure I get rid of any cache, plus any album art that's stored with the music on my SD, and I'll report back here.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] peterc10:
I was having problems with art on the stock music app. Bought Album Art Grabber from the market and solved it. However I have now changed over to MixZing as my music player and that grabs the art just fine.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gregalous:
I've seen in some ROMs for other phones (like Cyanogen and Enomther's ROMs) that they implement a hack that moves the dalvik-cache into the /cache partition, thus freeing up a lot of space in /data (and virtually eliminating the need for a2sd). I'm wondering if anyone has thought of or knows how to do that? I think it'd be a great addition to any ROM.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smstutler:
adb shell

busybox cp -a /data/dalvik-cache /cache/delvik

reboot recovery

adb shell

mount cache

rm -rf /data/dalvik-cache

ln -s /cache/dalvik/dalvik-cache /data/dalvik-cache

should work

Dont know about after reboot though.

Me personally I just moved it all to the sd ext2.

Dalvik and system apps also.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gregalous:
Cool! Now to make that survive a reboot, it would have to be written into the boot.img, or in a script that is called in the boot.img correct?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smstutler:
That I dont know. I was wondering how to utilize all the free space I have better. Just a heads up though dalvik on my system is 60megs.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gregalous:
Exactly why moving it to cache would be ideal, as far as my limited knowledge of this understands. That frees up about 60mb of space in /data.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subliminalurge:
Honestly, the best use for the internal memory would be to leave the dalvik cache on it. It consists of files that have already been preprocessed by the VM specifically with the intention of improving performance. Moving that from the internal memory to the slower sd card.... It ain't gonna help....

If your trying to tweak performance, you're much better off looking for other things you can move to create more space for the cache....
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrinehart93:
Isn't /cache just a separate partition in the internal memory?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subliminalurge:
I assumed he had symlinked it over to the sd card. Generally the only benefit to be gained by moving files around is by putting things on the (slow) sd card to free up the (faster) internal memory.

If that's not what we're talking about, then the end result would be exactly nill...
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smstutler:
Actually I have seen no performance hit as I can tell by running it internally or on sd card.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subliminalurge:
That's certainly possible. Are you using the stock sd card?

I still stand behind my assertion that the dalvik cache is the wrong thing to be moving if the goal is to improve performance. (Well, unless you somehow have an sd card that operates faster than the internal memory...)

And your statement that you see no performance hit one way or the other is kind of just another way of saying what I said... The result was nill.....
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smstutler:
Right I get your point. But now on to the better thing. Possibly moving some music files to internal since I have seen complaints of hiccups when playing tunes. I cant think of any other benefits as of yet. Was just curious as to if it could be done so I did it. I am using a class 4 card I have a 6 but it is a tad bad so it is of no use. Now as for moving the dalvik to the /cache, that seems like it would be the better idea, since i have yet to see my cache used much at all.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subliminalurge:
I haven't really monitored the usage, although it shouldn't change much.

I'm also new to Android, but I have a good number of years under my belt both adminning Linux machines and developing Java apps (amongst other things...).

I've done a bit of reading on how the Dalvik VM works, and I can confidently tell you that you want the Dalvik cache on whatever the fastest memory in your phone is. For the vast majority of people, that will be the internal memory. If you've spent a small fortune on a super-badass sd card that is faster (like that other thread where the guy bought a class 10), then moving it would be a simple matter of symlinking that directory onto the card.

As far as your concerns with stuttering music, even the dog slow sd card that comes stock with the hero is plenty fast for playing an mp3 file. If you're having trouble there, you need to take a look at what's hogging your cpu, not what's hogging your memory....
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smstutler:
Nah wasn't meant for me with the music on SD. I rarely use it for that. But yes I do agree with you. The SD may not be best choice but there has to be a better way to utilize some of the system memory that just sits dormant.

/dev/block/mtdblock4 130.0M 1.1M 128.9M 1% /cache
