Since moving to the generic ROM, Voice Search force closes every time I try to use it. Looking at logcat in Eclipse, it complains with the following:

Suggesting /system/lib/libspeech.so is the wrong version? Anyone know how/if this is fixable?

Thanks,

[Desire General] stephenwilley:
Hmmm. Seach by Voice doesn't seem to be on the market at the moment (at least for me). Maybe they're fixing it...?
[Desire General] jayshah:
Have you tried installing VoiceSearch anyway?

[Desire General] stephenwilley:
Thanks. That works. Was this created because the Google one didn't work for a lot of people?
[General Questions and Answers] cina:
Hi All Mighty Developers!

You all work hard to satisfy our needs on ROM and App developent but from our point of view (end user) there is no objective and comparable results of developed ROMs for HTC devices.

My idea is to develop a software that is capable of measuring device:

- MTBF (Mean time between failures) or between soft/hard reset

- Average and low high levels of RAM usage

- Average CPU levels, Net usage, etc.

- Device Manufacturer, Type,

- Device OS, ROM, ROM version

This is a small footprint of data which can be uploaded to a site. At server side data could be analysed and integrated into a structural view to hellp users decide to install ROM or not.

ROM developers should be allowed to register their ROM and decide weather to include the client software or not. They can maintain their ROM versions and follow its data.

Regards,

cina.
[General Questions and Answers] THE GRIZZ:
you are right. these is no objective way to measure performance of roms. the systematic benchmarks are totally usless

i think its much more useful to develop a simple application that does a messure of how long it takes to complete a set of well known tasks.

the application would for example run a script to visually start mail appication then run file explorer then create a tcalender item then change the time then copy a file to the SD card and read from it. the output would be the time it takes to do this. this should be extremely useful for rom cookers to really help them optimise their roms

anybody willing to give this a shot. it shouldnt be that complicated
[General Questions and Answers] cina:
That is a one shot execution of measuring performance of a software which is influenced by many factors - currently running applications, memory usage, etc.

If execution of a software needs to be measured (objectively and comparable) I think it needs to run several times - so a monitoring application should be developed which records timing of every execution and then averages results.

MTBF and the other parameters I've mentioned in post #1 also needs a monitoring method to develop. Small footprint as a service separated from the GUI which is only running during configuration, uploading result, etc.

I have a lot of ideas with this. But I'm not a PPC developer. I have some experience in desktop application development so I might help some desperate programmers with a basic specification and design if needed.
[General Questions and Answers] pupakota:
Idea is absolutely useless, imho.

Too many variables.

I am using soft i've added to rom to FEEL difference between roms, checking:

- overall speed in real life conditions,

- doc file reading test(ebook reader and word),

- emulators test(cpu and gfx speed test),

- overall GUI speed,

- cam performance differencies,

- vid playback differencies,

- battery behaviour in similar conditions,

- mem drain after launching/using exactly same set of soft(interesting - mem drain is always related to phone subsystem),

- some synthetic tests related to gapi, gdi etc(BUT NEVER SPB bench, that program is ridiculous!),

- filetypes read check(to test associations/codecs).

And you know what..i haven't had single wm crash, batt drain or weak performance(cpu,batt) for 4 years, always used best base available(funny thing is TO FIND such base...many builds are needed..), tweaked to the max, these tests always worked for me, all weak/problematic builds ALWAYS showed potential problems/weaknesses after such test set.

First thing is to know your device, feel it(let's say).

I think that ONE program to measure these:

is just not good idea - vide spb benchmark - results ARE NOT reliable at all(to be honest - that soft is BULL****).

I assume it is just because it is ONE program(and it serves salary, not REAL benching), such thing has nothing to reallife usage schema.

sry for my 2 cents.

upd:

this is seriously ridiculous - HOW can one test something like that, LOL?
[General Questions and Answers] cina:
Well not that much ridiculous I think! In server world one important measure is availability which is primary based on MTBF. Supposing that an ideal PPC never needs to be soft/hard reseted an average measure of uptime of your ROM is an approximate of stability. Statistics I mean.

Averaging thousands of results of all previously cooked ROMS stability of device is measured which can be a valuable feedback to the manufacturer.

(I think I think in wide usually and open as well. Probably my nickname is producing a lot of negative feedback to my ideas. Maybe I should test this more. :( )
[General Questions and Answers] pupakota:
Ohh, do not take it personally, please...

Do You think they WOULD CARE? It's all about salary, nothing more.

---

Notice, that NOBODY is using stock roms, too(and it is quite clear, there's reason for that :) ).

It may be interesting - reporting cooked roms performance to...stock rom manufacturer :D
[General Questions and Answers] cina:
Paranoid a bit I am. Anyway thx for the encouragement.

I know everything is driven by money. Even in healthcare where I currently work.

I don't want to repeat myself. But the basic idea was to help end users choose the ROM that best suits their needs. And to help chefs with feedback on their jobs.

Parallel with medical work all doctors need feedback about their patients to achieve better level of practice. A chef should learn from data collected from end-users and enhance their ROM development.

I understand that a lot of you cook for themselves and publish the result (one time cookers or beginners). But there are big names of cookers with huge experience working hard reading the posts about their ROMS and trying to debug based on that. Wouldn't it be easier to get collected data on ROM performance/stability, bug reports, SW incompatiblity, etc. in an organized way?

Anyway you said that

How do you know? Probably you are a lucky one that got an exceptional stable hardware, a battery with no weak cells and a wireless chip with no misaligned molecule in its layers. Others probably have weak hardware, SW from other source that you have never tested. Are you quite sure that your ROM is prepared for "all" situation? Probably not and no one can be sure about that. (And do not take it personal). "Perfection cannot be reached but we should try it hard." - source unknown.

So literally I propose a software that measure some performance/stability/compatiblity issues of cooked ROMs and I've just listed my ideas. Anyone who will develop a software like this will add its own ideas and probably suppress/emphasize some of mine. I intended just to inspire developers for such a solution. I didn't want to give a clear solution anyway but I offered some help with a work like that.

Best regards,

Cina.
[General Questions and Answers] pupakota:
Allright, good luck, really...

Me too, mate, me too :)

btw i am not beginner. i stopped making public roms 2 yrs ago.

..because i can see it.

my softpack was tuned for almost 2 yrs, practically every single apps' oem is made by me, every single app is reconfed by me.

my methods for getting optimal os base were tuned for almost 5 yrs(and regardless of base, builds are always made with same, OLD methods).

zero HTC soft inside. zero useless soft inside. zero useless dlls, zero useless reg entries. bases with ANY kind of problem are thrown out and not used by me.

i do not need any external info from anyone to get optimal results. strict methods have very important feature: elimination of sudden misbehaviours, unknown problems, so only problems with any of: performance, batt,whatever, may come from base then.

That's all.

i do not know anything about others' point of view on external performance/etc. data ideas, but it may be hard to believe that good cooks are not having similar ways. You know, i see that someone tells: "That base is good", allright, 20 minutes later i have ready rom, so it's quite fast way to check, if it is good base, then practical subsystems tests in reallife verificate REAL usability. btw hard to imagine such build list, if we cannot have EVEN clear com 2,3,5 builds list, lol.

sorry for LQ english(or engrish..).

So true...
[General Questions and Answers] cina:
Thanx. And I appreciate your posts. Really.

I've already got that. :)
[Touch Cruise General] grwsmith:
Hello,

My mobile broadband usage keeps vanishing.

I now have noticed that when I am in range of my home wi-fi, and wake the screen up the GPRS is connected, it then rapidly switches back to wi-fi.

What is causing this please?
[Touch Cruise General] morgessa:
WiFi is disabled when the device is in Standby to save battery life.

AFAIK it can be set to be always on via Reg-tweak but it will drain battery very fast.
[Touch Cruise General] grwsmith:
Mmmm yes I realise that, but what happens then is that the 3G data connection then connects and drains the credit.
[Touch Cruise General] grwsmith:
NoData widget

I have just found the solution a little widget called NoData.

Toggles GPRS connections. Added it to my drop-down menu no problems, Wi-Fi can switch itself off and on as and when.

I think I should clean the cache a bit, i tried to uninstall some apps but maybe it isn't enough. The Android market is unable to download new apps while BlackDroid still works
[Desire General] rodzt37:
I have the same problem, i installed quite a few appz and then removed them, now out of memory from left over installs and not half the appz as orig installed.
[Desire General] dr_s:
I'm interested in finding out this as one. This utility is badly needed.

Don't know how long before we will be able to choose location where to install appications i.e., ofcourse SD card.:confused:
[Desire General] rodzt37:
We need it rooted fpr apps2sd, but still waiting so we must just be patient.
[Desire General] Rusty!:
I don't know if it's the same thing you're talking about, but you can clear the cache from the recovery menu.
[Desire General] gogol:
This does not require root:

http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/com.cerisierbleu.qac/

But you cannot clear all caches at once. Still handy though.

This require root access:

http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/com.aac.cachemate/

http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/org.lsartory.cachecleaner/
[Desire General] MasDroid:
Awesome find gogol, very handy indeed, less time consuming... would like to see a clean all feature though!

EDIT: Unfortunatly, Android does not offer the possibility to delete data of other applications (on unrooted phones) for security reasons ... the only way to clear an application cache is to call a system application which is allowed to delete it, that's the reason why several caches can't be cleared with one click, just like with this application.

Alternatively, instead of installing such an app, you can practically achieve the same results by going to settings>apps>manage apps

then menu and sort by size

the top 3 or so you can quickly clear and be done.

A quality utility, thanks

[HD2 General] mvaughan06:
just saw the closed thread this morning. i dont see the point of closing the thread really.

!aman! closed the thread and said

just try all the ROMs to see which one suits u best and dont start such "best/fastest ROM" threads in future."

i don't see what would hurt if we could open a poll and have everyone vote for which is the 'best overall' rom for the TMOUS HD2. sure it might just come down to users' opinion, but at the same time, who really wants to sit around and take a week or so to really try out EVERY available rom, just to find out which one works out the best? why not make a poll with all of the currently available TMOUS roms, and have a vote? that way noobs, such as myself, can just go straight for the top handful and check them out?

i'm currently using the EVO CELL rom, so far so good. a couple freezezs / delays every now and then, but i didn't do task 29. might give that a shot this weekend and reflash the rom.
[HD2 General] domineus:
you're not a chef and never cooked a rom a day in your life that's why

such threads play favoritism and causes unnecessary competition amongst chefs that do their best to give the community more options and choices.

That's not acceptable at any site (ppcgeeks, htcpedia, xda, any site)

so that's why it was closed and every thread about rom favorite will be closed because its subjective and causes flame wars
[HD2 General] stylez:
Best ROM is subjective as everyone has a different opinion, hence why best ROM threads are closed "use the search you will find many" they can also often lead to flame wars.

Hope this has answered your question and on that note thread closed.

Due to an appauling battery life on the othewise brilliant "superphone", I am trying to find a solution where I can charge it often using a USB port in computers/laptops etc at workplace or outside.

Has anyone come across a USB-micorUSB charging cable which is available like a small dangle we can attach to a key chain/ring? I have seen retractable ones on the internet, they are not small enough to be attached to a keyring. Any experience?

Thanks.

[Desire Accessories] tinytom21:
That last one looks great, they have both the S series and W series connectors on there that look cool. ( I like the look of the W series as it looks a bit smaller and thats the point of the cable.) But can anyone see where we can actually buy these?

edit- They have an eBay shop SmartcablesUK, and they are about £5 inc delivery for the W series ones!!! So even if they are shoddy quality, that's not bad at all!

SmartCable

I had it delivered today, and it looks great! You can't REALLY tell that it only cost £5 (it does look a BIT cheap, and may not exactly stand the test of time) and its a really great size for a key ring (which is what I'm using mine for).

I have taken some photos of it for you to peruse, but unfortunately buymobiles.co.uk still haven't delivered my Desire so I've can't test that it charges and syncs properly with that. I can verify that with my 8GB Micro-SD card, works fine as an 8GB USB stick. Great purchase and would recommend to you guys if this is the form factor you are after (if it works with the Desire that is, and the connector looks fine).

p.s

(It's also got lights on it that indicate that its on and plugged in... WOOOOOO Blue / Red LEDS!)

OK thanks . I bought now right now .

About memory card I don't know what to take . Someone tell me that highr class work better with app2sd .

I thought to buy class 10 but I don't know if class 6 enough :p

Received mine this morning. In gunmetal colour. Looks brilliant. AND it does charge HTC Desire. Chrging light is on, battery indicator in status bar showing as charging, however, yet to see howquickly it will charge.

Card reader function is also working, by using card in the smartcable. But does not work as data/sync cable.
[Desire Accessories] landwomble:
aargh

dammit, why can't they just wire up the extra couple of pins for data? they've obviously got them at one end as it works with the micro SD card!
[Desire Accessories] stingerpl:
Are you talking about the Smartcable?

Because on ebay, you can read:
[Desire Accessories] tinytom21:
Well my one doesn't seem to enable data with any other Micro-usb phone I have tried (2, a Nokia and a Samsung). The Nokia tried to connect to the card and it just kept saying that the card was already in use, meaning that it at least recognises that its a data cable. Dunno if it can't sync cause it has a card-reader in it, so the usb just think that is the data connection? Should be able to handle multiple USB connections on one plug though surely? I don't know how it works, obviously, but does USB require a chip on the cable to multiplex 2 USB peripherals? (Im just thinking that if it is literally a problem that it hasnt been wired up, I might get the soldering iron out and bodge it, as otherwise this cable is PERFECT! Any ideas?
