[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rommark:
Hello,

Why isnt it possible to use SDCRAM as sort of RAM in android? same as VISA/7 Using ReadyBoost to expand the ram with an USB disk on keys?

thanks!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBigB86:
Why would you want that?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rb2k:
since you only use flash based memory anyway: that's called swaping
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rommark:
And is Swap enabled in all froyo roms today?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martino2k6:
But why would you need it? You have 512MB of RAM, with a clean boot you have around 200-220MB of it free for whatever you want to do with it. Not enough for you?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rommark:
won't heavy 3d games eat that?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beidl:
No. Smartphones =/= PCs. And if you are really out of space for a short amount of time, unneeded processes get killed automatically. Swap was only really needed on the G1 but definitely not on the Desire.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martino2k6:
No, that's a bit too much even for a game... unless the code has memory leaks. With so much RAM it'd make more sense to use ramdisk (but who knows for what good use) ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rommark:
RamDisk could be insane for 3d gaming as then the textures would have fast extraction means less delay in rendering....

What Readyboost is NOT

Hey folks. I've only recently discovered Readyboost as I'm primarily a Linux guy. I got all hot and bothered about it immediately as well as it is (despite Microsofts constant onslaught of horrific failures) an absolutely brilliant and elegant technology/idea.

HOWEVER!!!

Nearly everyone is confused about what RB actually does, so I thought I'd take a minute to explain.

ReadyBoost is NOT swap. NOT SWAP!, not swap.

Swap is not something to get excited about, it is a last resort for when you're out of RAM and it's excruciatingly slow. In the land of IT, one of the first things we check for when a server is experiencing horrible performance, is "IS THIS MACHINE SWAPPING". Everyone's gotta learn that swap, while it is more useful than "not enough memory" it is nor more useful than utilizing the memory you already have, and it will always result in poor performance.

ReadyBoost is an additional disc cache for small, non-sequential reads/writes. It works with your existing FS cache but is faster in some cases because FLASH has a much lower seek time. Most FLASH chips have a seek time of <1ms while most rotational discs have a seek time of around 8ms. This adds up on a large number of small non-sequential r/w.

ReadyBoost takes any caching operations which fit it's strength profile (small, non-sequential) and offloads them to your FLASH device. This can increase load speed of some files/application dramatically (2-20x faster).

So, when someone asks you if they can use Readyboost because they don't have enough memory, please, take a moment to explain that RB is not swap, but is in fact a supplementary disc cache for small, non-sequential reads and writes.

That said, I haven't had time to dig into the question of whether or not RB would benefit Linux FS's.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cgwatson1979:
I know this is a really old thread but I just wanted to put my two cents in. Memory boosting apps like ReadyBoost do have a viable purpose. That is keeping older hardware viable as minimum specs increase. There is an Android app that is equivilant to ReadyBoost called Roehsoft RAM Expander. There are mixed reviews for its performance but that is to be expected. If this app helps my aging 8227_Demo head unit work well enough for me to not replace it I will update this post.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] skuskom:
Hello,

I have successfully rooted my G2 Touch 1.5 with the trickery exploid (hxxp://c-skills.blogspot.com/2010/07/android-trickery.html), because it was not possible to root it with the "One click" method.

Using this guide: hxxp://alldroid.org/default.aspx?g=posts&t=493

According to the README on trickery blog this method should work for 1.x and 2.x firmware. Maybe someone can try this method also for 1.6 and 2.1, if it's working for Hero.

In the attached zip is the changed source code and the compiled binary.

To compile the source follow this tutorial: hxxp://betelco.blogspot.com/2010/01/buildingdebugging-android-native-c.html
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Interesting. Do we have any idea what the 'exploid' package itself does? Just curious. The exploit may well exist in 2.1, but there never was a 1.6 for the hero officially released.

The other method which I released from the Droid Eris folks' work was the 777 permissions exploit. I'm wondering if this could be a similar method, or if it's a totally different attack vector.

Still, would love to know how this one works at a technical level.

EDIT: just noticed you provided changed source code. Taking a look just now... :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raymar23:
NOOBIE

Sorry but is there any chance you could throw together a qucik run down of what you actually did compared to the Alldroid guide? sorry but im used to working on my Magic and Dream in which case i would install a new Engineering SPL but i dont know if that would be required on a Hero or not. I dont actually have a Hero to try right now but trying to put a quick guide together for for a friend.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raymar23:
So again i will ask diffrently.....if I follow this guide http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Full_Update_Guide_-_Rogers_Dream_911_Patched

The diffrences would be using a Hero recovery, and secondly to skip the part about installing the SPL.

So I guess my question is: All i need is a custom recovery installed right??

Someone please answer, and sorry if it sound like a stupid question (no flamers please)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Right. First thing. Forget everything you learned on the magic or dream etc :)

Second thing. If you're on 2.1, use this method, as all you need is a patched recovery. Then you flash a ROM from recovery and you're sorted.

If you're on 1.5 ROM, then go to http://villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=375 and follow those instructions to root etc. Those are easier methods for now, till we work out how this method works best, and put it to use :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] skuskom:
Yes, but only problem is, that if you should use GoldCard method you lose your original ROM.

And in my country T-mobile didn't release any RUU ROM, which can be flash back in case of warranty.

With this "new" posibility to root you can do NANDROID backup before flashing custom ROM, like it was possible with "One Click" method.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raymar23:
Tnhanks for the answers.

Guess I was trying to complicate something simple

Ill do up a guide on the process after I root the phone. Probably be a few days though.
[Droid X General] GoldenCyn:
I was so used to doing this on my iPhone using AT&T. Is this possible on verizon? If im on a lengthy call, after i hang up a stream of txts and email start to come in as if it was just waiting for me to hang up.
[Droid X General] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Practically? No. It's a limitation of the CDMA technology. It can carry Voice *or* data, but not both.

Technically? Yes. Download a SIP or Skype client, and run VoIP (which is just Data). Don't think it's very practical though.
[Droid X General] ncdub:
You can if you have an active wifi connection. I do it all the time at work cause i get put on hold for what seems like hours some days.
[Droid X General] rolandroland:
I do wifi at home and work so the limitation isn't too bad. Of course 4g will fix this, but not for this phone.
[Droid X General] dr154:
I believe AT&T is the only network that allows voice and data at the same time currently, but i know for sure that Verizon doesn't allow such things sadly...
[Droid X General] Mokurex:
Not just at&t, all 3g gsm based carrier can transfer voice and data at the same time, so t-mobile can do this also.
[Droid X General] GoldenCyn:
Boooo
[Droid X General] Enndr:
T-mobile does allow both data and voice at the same time. Sadly their network nation wide is terrible. If I travel between cities, which I do alot. I lose connection CONSTANTLY. Causing issues with Pandora, Navigation using Google Nav, etc.

My wife and I are in the process of selling out Nexus Ones and moving to Verizon due to this sadly. I loved my N1 and so did she.

Maybe my Droid X and her Droid Incredible will fill that Google love gap.

The no data and voice does kinda stink. We used that more than you'd think.

Especially when driving with our device attached to the car's Bluetooth Sync.

Google Nav & Pandora Running while be able to accept and send new calls

through the cars bluetooth was very nice and convenient. Works great with our Ford Edge.
[Droid X General] fonsecaj:
I just migrated from an iPhone 3GS on ATT to a Droid X on VZW. I have to say... I'd rather have a phone on a network that could do a great job with voice or data one at a time than a network that in many instances couldn't do either reliably (but could do then both at once).
[Droid X General] Enndr:
Agreed. Id rather have a device that does two things separately very well than a device that is terrible doing them separately or together at the same time.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Subu:
a method kinda like the mytouch3G?

because i am having alot of problems trying to root my mytouch slide :(

ive looked through all the guides and im really scared to brick my phone,

(i bricked my mytouch 3G :[ )

so can someone give me a guide tht shows what the phone is doing while ur doing everything on your comp? or something more clear?

because i am very afraid of bricking

please get back to me ASAP!
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elliotshoe:
I can guide you through the process but everyone here spent hours figuring it out before simpleroot came out you should try that maybe.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falken98:
You really can't brick this phone as you can't do anything to the bootloader. Nothing short of pulling the battery while flashing the radio from the engineering image or something is going to brick it.

There have been no reports of anyone killing their phone yet.

Edit: will there be another method? You will have to go to a psychic forum to get the answer to that one. :D
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingofyo1:
actually there is a process but i really dont wanan tell anyone how to brick their mytouch slide.. just sees evil, ya know/

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jreed3786:
YouTube...

what a wonderful ally! Try googling for a video on rooting this phone. You'll find it there...or check out the ROM BIBLE for links...
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jreed3786:
Well, even though you should have looked first, here is the link to kingofyo's well done video of Eugene's method. After you have root, you HAVE TO flash the ENG ROM to DOWNGRADE your rom and radio. The link's in the ROM BIBLE, also. But make sure that once you're done with ENG and you flashed your chosen rom, make SURE flash the newest slide radio, also found in the "Bible". Good luck, Chuck...

Originally found this in the *Root the Slide & Other HTC Devices*6/15/2010* How-To Updated 6/29/2010 on page 78.

This worked for me on the first try when other methods didn't come through. I'm not guaranteeing it will work for you too, but maybe.... just maybe...

Just unzip the file to your root SDK folder with adb.exe then make sure you have installed .NET framework then run the Autorun.exe. Good luck.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowmike:
thats really good to hear.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UnkzDomain:
Yup. I had a new one and the easiest way to go about doing it is by keeping the battery cover off, keep loop running and keep going into recovery then battery-pulling if it doesn't work.

It's not exactly elegant, but it lets you get a ton of tries done in a fraction of the time - I was basically fully rooted within 10 minutes of starting after I started using this method.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r0man:
It can be rooted.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Subu:
please make a video on it!

i need further description...

sorry guys im kinda slow!

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mulletcutter:
downloading framework now....just put autorun.exe on my sdcard? or just run it
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drzfr3shboialex:
Or maybe the easy way to root it like the droid x. Where you just connect your device and click on root me or unroot me.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
I wish we could use flashrec: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...0bioAw&usg=AFQjCNFl4TpWi3QnwoU2WlTIns0-nL5Kjw

You can just dl the recovery then it flashes it for you, used it to root my g1 multiple times. Too bad it probably wont work on the MTS....Unless a dev could modify it for us...Would save a lot of trouble with dealing with loop or offline in rec.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mulletcutter:
One touch root sounds like less of a headache
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
I'm gonna give the autoroot a try, if it fails like the others did for me then i'm gonna wait for a new method.
[General Questions and Answers] richardvilla:
Hi all

Im pretty new to the smart phone scene. I've only started owning them the last few months.

I've currently got a HTC Kaiser (Tytn ii) that has the spb shell and my sat nav software on it (they were pre-installed). I am now upgrading slightly to an HTC Touch pro. The question is, how do i transfer the spb and sat nav software to my new phone?

I have tried simply putting my memory card in the new phone and it recognises the applications, but cannot open them. I guess part of them are left on the Kaiser?

Your help appreciated.

Thank you.

Hello my friends,

I need to write a C/C++ apps very simple for windows mobile.

My apps won't have GUI and no console, it's just an apps in order to make some traitments on files.

So my question is, what kind of projet i need to select on Visual Studio 2008, because in Smart device, there is no "application console".

Is possible to just write a cpp file on configure the compilator in order to setting my programm for Windows Mobile device ?

Thanks a lot ,

What you can do is take battery out and put back. Next try hard reset (see manual): volume button down, push enter button and on/off on your device.

If that does not help...bring to HTC service.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bysus:
Hi all,

I have a problem on my HTC HD2 (Energy Rom : 07/28/10; Radio : 2.12.50.02_2) with 3G/HSDPA connection.

Sometimes it disconnect and I need to reboot (or switch to "airplane mode" then switch on again "phone mode") to make it works again.

It seems that it disconnect faster if I download much data (for instance if I only check my emails every 5 minutes it won't disconnect for 2-5 hours but if run StreamTVLive or Wifi router it will disconnect after only 60 seconds...

When it disconnect, I still have HSDPA icon ("H" icon) but I have the following error message "cannot connect for unknown reason... tap settings or dismiss".

I tried many Energy roms and 2.7 and 2.12 radios but I still have same problem (I have french operator named "Bouygues Telecom" with (almost) unlimited 3G data connection) and now I don't know what to do :(

I think It does not depends on signal quality from my operator because I have the same problem in many cities in France...

Anyone could help me ? :) Thanks !

get the one called:

install it on your Sd card than go to the settings enable the plugins and you will have Flash enabled(youtube and so on).

you will have 2 operas on your device, your original default 9.7 and the new one which you can uninstall whenever you like.
