Android 1.6 limits the amount of ram that is available for the phone to use. After we are able to upgrade to 2.1, you will see the full 368.
[XPERIA X10 General] -PiLoT-:
i did read somewehe that 1.6 limits as to what ram we are told ie even if we had 512 wede still be using 512 but would only ever read 256. ur explanation sounds much better
[XPERIA X10 General] berbecverde:
Well.. if you did make a new thread about the RAM i will ask something to.:D

I read a thread here, and someone put this benchmark:

Motorola Droid 20.7 FPS (Android 2.0).

Nexus One 27.6 FPS. (Android 2.1) 512 RAM

Acer Liquid 34 FPS. (Android 1.6)

Xperia X10 34FPS+ est. (Android 1.6) 386 RAM

It is a bit strange that our X10 with less ram and a slower OS is the best performer in this benchmark.

So what do you think?:confused:
[XPERIA X10 General] Fuzalert2k:
Ive seen that benchmark be posted here too. It holds little credibility since we don't know its source or what the benchmark was even about.
[XPERIA X10 General] KurskS:
was it speed benchmark or graphic benchmark? If it was graphic therefore the phone got higher score due to 65k colors screen as the GPU doenst need to full load as the 16M screen^^. Anyway its still a bit strange, cuz the Droid should get higher score as its GPU is much better than Nexus One (maybe cuz of Froyo). It should be like this in term of graphic Nexus One < X10 < Droid, I dunno about Liquid one
[XPERIA X10 General] hoss_n2:
droid has the worest gpu sgx 530 which is able to output 7 m triangles only while snapdragon gives 22 m triangles
[XPERIA X10 General] -PiLoT-:
also apparently sizes of ram arent able to be used over 256m until froyo
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomtor:
Hi,

I bought a SanDisk 8GB class 2 micro SDHC card and I noticed that

it behaves strangely in the SG.

When writing larger amounts of data (100s of MBs) I get write errors.

When eg copying from internal SD (/sdcard) to external (/sdcard/sd) with

a filemanager or a backup program.

When connected with USB to a Win7 computer I can verify the disk or do a low level format, no problems. When I copy large amounts of data however, the SG hangs and I must reboot it.

When I put the card in an adapter and mount it on a Win7 or Linux system then I can hammer it with data transfers and all goes well.

So it is SG related and I'm using the stock firmware.

Bad contacts in the SG are unlikely, because once the data is written in the adapter it can be read without issues in the SG and the same contacts are used for writing and reading.

Looks like a driver problem to me.

Anyone else had these kinds of problems?

I have exactly the same problem with a sandisk 4gb class 2. I did not find a solution yet
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ickyboo:
I have that problem. I believe its got to do with how much power the sgs drains from usb port. I fixed my problem with a powered usb hub. So try that, it fixed alot of usb connection porblems too.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sktr021:
I've had my hero for about 2.5 months, and so far I like it, but as I'm sure everyone knows it gets really slow and laggy, and the battery life is about the worst of any phone I've ever had.

I'm a noob, but I've been lurking around here, looking at all the "rom" and "kernel" things, which looks like it can make the phone pretty sweet, but I dont have ANY idea how to go about using these.

If theres a way for someone to suggest to me what would be a good option for me I would REALLY appreciate it.

I'm a light user by the way. I use my phone for texting, calling, web and playing with some apps and stuff, but thats about it. I dont use all the social networking crap, and this phone doesnt run my business or anything.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sktr021:
Okay, I think I've decide to root my phone, and use a custom rom. I think. Unless someone can advise me a better way.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] intx:
No, it's a good idea.

Just make sure you read and re-read it all so you know what you're doing.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sktr021:
what guide would you suggest using. Theres one on here with a corresponding youtube vid.. I was thinking about using that one.

And how exactly do I go about choosing a rom?

I'm sorry for the noob questions.

Use this method to root

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=694572

It's easy, and all steps are very detailed so you can't screw up.

As far as choosing a ROM, you have to decide if you like A) Sense UI or B) vanilla android. I will only list some popular ones that I know of.

A) If you like Sense, do you like heavily themed?

no: check out the Sprint 2.27.651.6 STOCK Deoxed or DamageControl

some themes/mods: check out Fresh ROM

yes: not really familiar with these

B) If you like vanilla android look

check out Darchdroid

[Vibrant Android Development] efisal:
i bet you had the fonts file in the galaxy internal memory and not in the sd card.

put the font files in sd card !

you must run the command line and point it to the fonts location... in my way i had the fornts in the sd card and pointed the commandline to the sd card.

let me know.
[Vibrant Android Development] vega89xi:
Figured it out...... yes the files were on the SD card. I may not have a high post count but i have been doing this for a while and know the difference.

I had to edit the string after using a root file explorer to find the exact location.

/sdcard/sd/DroidSans-Bold.ttf

Worked after that.

Still having issues though as it seems that only the bold font copied over as the general font is just showing as squares still....

flash the recovery of amon ra.

now select "flash from sd card" and navigate to .zip file

and we finish.

I've seen a leather Zenus bar style case with a kickstand in Korea. You can only buy it via Gmarket for now. That's the only one I've seen so far. I would be surprised if Bodyglove didn't come out with one since they usually always have some type of kickstand case available from what I've seen.
[Vibrant Accessories] jblade1000:
Im looking forward to this one. Bodyglove has had a pretty good track record in the past. That page is just a placeholder since its not out yet

You might have to call and let them check your account.

I was on a myTouch 3G and the market would work sporadically for me, as well as other apps. Apparently with the account still set to MyTouch on the backend was causing some issues. Once they changed it to reflect the current Samsung Galaxy data plan, I took my phone off network for about 15 minutes, and restarted and the problem of a few days was resolved.

Personally, I thought it should have no effect, but who knows what Tmo does on their network.

[Desire Android Development] lambrospower:
hey,

whenever i flash a new rom i edit the zip to replace keylayouts, apps in /system and /data , bootscreens and some other stuff......

i now want to symlink some directories with a script which will be loaded during rom flash because otherwise i would need a pc to access it through adb...

the script i want FOR NOW (i may use it for other things in the future)

is about symlinking the

/system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip to /data/local/bootanimation.zip

/system/customize/resource/android_audio.mp3 to /data/local/android_audio.mp3

i can do this through adb as i said but i'd prefer it to be done automatically by a script during flash.... i know the commands to use but i need a way to implement the script into the rom.....

i think it's like the a2sd+ script but i am not sure....

if anyone knows please help me
[Desire Android Development] st0kes:
you need to split open your boot.img and modify the init.rc (the file where services are initialised at Android startup)

See this link for notes on working with the boot.img

you can create the symlinks directly in this file, have a look at the syntax and you should be able to work it out. The ln command doesn't work though, use the format:

symlink /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip /data/local/bootanimation.zip

Or you can create a dummy 'service' which executes a file on your filesystem (like /etc/rc.local) and put your "ln -s" commands in there.
[Desire Android Development] Vorbeth:
Why not just create a custom update.zip with your changes only, then you can apply it after flashing any rom.
[Desire Android Development] DAE_JA_VOO:
How would you do this?

Say I wanted an update.zip that would remove plurk and add a certain app. How would I go about creating that?
[Desire Android Development] lambrospower:
removing and adding is easy with the update signer app.....i just want to add a script that symlinks directories at boot in order to avoid the use of a pc.....i tried the trick st0kes said and i am waiting for the flashing now to complete and send my feedback
[Desire Android Development] lambrospower:
nope it didn't work.....is there any specific place to put the command ????

i put it at the very end of the init.rc file
[Desire Android Development] lambrospower:
ok after a lot of reading i created a service which runs a folder with scripts...where i have the script that symlinks the files.....

this is the service code

and here is the code i have into the "bootanimation" script which is inside the myscript.d folder

what am i doing wrong here ????? please someone with knowledge enlighten me!! the script does not run
[Desire Android Development] lambrospower:
damn....it's been a long night and still haven't found a way to do it !!!!!!

i tried all the followings:

1) added a file called "myscript" (it contained two lines with the symlink commands) in init.d folder in order to execute when the boot is complete - FAILED

2) added the same file into another folder and added a service at the bottom of the init.rc file that called it

-FAILED

3) added the SYMLINK commands into the init.rc file

a)at the bottom -FAILED

b) before the bootanim, bootsound services -FAILED

c) before the bootcomplete = 1 value in init.rc -FAILED

d) after sysinit execution in init.rc -FAILED

e) before sysinit execution in init.rc - FAILED

f) at the top after some lines of code in init.rc - FAILED

i read that HTC change the boot process and to run custom scripts at boot you must add their commands in "bootcomplete.bravo.rc"

i tried that too but FAILED again....i think this is logical cause these scripts are executed after the boot and just when the phone is gonna show the pin dialog....

i think it's something to do with the init.rc file...but i dunno what else to add....

is there anything i have to mount in order to symlink ???? add busybox to something or anything ??????

PLEASE someone with success at scripting like a2sd+ please help me
[Desire Android Development] Vorbeth:
Try naming your script

03BootAnim

and place it in

/system/etc/init.d

Also don't forget to chmod +x it
[Desire Android Development] lambrospower:
how to chmod +x ??? nvm i did it...i am now signing it to try it
[Desire Android Development] Vorbeth:
in adb

adb shell chmod +x /system/etc/init.d/03BootAnim

chmod 755 does the same, makes it executable by the system
[Desire Android Development] lambrospower:
hey klutsh i tried what you said but it didn't work...

look i created the file

03BootAnim

and placed it into the

/system/etc/init.d

the commands i have into the file are these

#!/system/bin/sh

ln -s /data/local/bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip
ln -s /data/local/android_audio.mp3 /system/customize/resource/android_audio.mp3

ok i edited the commands like these but no result too.....

#!/system/bin/sh

busybox mount /system
busybox mount /data
busybox ln -s /data/local/bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip
busybox ln -s /data/local/android_audio.mp3 /system/customize/resource/android_audio.mp3

i checked with the

ls -l /system/etc/init.d

command and the permissions are all the same (they are all enabled i think, -rwxr-xr-x )

i wiped everything, flashed, rebooted but no bootanimation!!! the default android logo with the moving shade appears (i have deleted the animation in the system/customize/resource folder in order for the symlink to work)

what am i doing wrong ???? is there something with the script ?
[Desire Android Development] Vorbeth:
I'm trying to get this working, and so far it is running before the bootanimation, but I get

run-parts: can't execute '/system/etc/init.d/03BootAnim': No such file or directory

Yet it is available...
[Desire Android Development] lambrospower:
what commands do you have in yours ????

maybe a reboot will fix it o yours since it will rescan ?

edit: hey klutsh i logcated my boot and i see that the symlinks do not work cause it says that /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip and android_audio.mp3 directories are read-only file systems
[Desire Android Development] Vorbeth:
That's the problem then.

Already got a fix that you apply once only to a flashed rom then the boot anim runs from /data/local and can be replaced.

http://www.asificanrememberthat.com/DeLite/BootAmin_to_Data.zip

Flash that after any Sense rom that normally has bootanimation in /system/customize

It will delete the 2 files in /system/customize/resource

flash my own bootanimation to /data/local

create the required symlinks that survive reboot's.

You can then just replace the files in /data/local as needed.
[Desire Android Development] lambrospower:
as i see you made it with the update sign and packager isn't it ????

nice idea....

BUT why can't we access /system files through boot ???? is there any way to get root access at booting ???

THANKS YOU VERY MUCH for the great effort you made....

is there a way to implement the update-script into the 03BootAnim in order not to have to flah anything ????

the reson i want this is cause i am cooking my roms on my own and i want them to have all i need inside....not having to flash mod1, mod2 etc
[Desire Android Development] Vorbeth:
It's a feature of the desire, no write access to /system unless in recovery.

You can just take those bit's from my update-script and add them to your own rom's script.
[Desire Android Development] lambrospower:
oh yes...this is what i was asking :P i have tow update-scripts though, one old and one in the android.new folder

i am using dsixda kitchen....in which should i put it ??? does it matter where is it?

edit: found it....signing to flash

HURRAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY :P :P :P ;)

hey klutsh i thank you a lot.....

it was so easy to do it just copy paste the update-script but we (I) took the hard way of READ-ONLY file system....anw i learned A LOT (if you think that i am reading 15hours constantly about this)
