[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] distortedloop:
That's the mantra in linux "free memory is wasted memory." ;)

I first saw this stuff discussed here. Probably nothing you haven't figured out yet.

I think the settings for any individual are going to vary; there is no set answer, too much of variable in how you use your phone and what apps you use, etc.

You might check out "AutoKiller", it's free, and has some presets, along with ability to roll your own settings. I'd play with it until I found the numbers I liked best, then you could bake them into your build.prop. That would save you the slight hassle of editing and rebooting.

You can also just echo them from the terminal app, but I'm sure you already knew that.

But for those who don't, here's a sample from the above linked article:

su
echo "1536,2048,4096,5120,15360,23040" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree

Also, while you're playing with settings, have you also looked at changing the i/o scheduler. Lots of debate over what's best. Again, I think it just depends on how you as an individual use your phone...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hardcore:
I sortof hacked it into my /system folder manually. Just need to replace some files there. Auto APN does work. Maybe I'll write up a procedure when I'm more sure of it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] borchgrevink:
Interesting. Keep up the good work!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sunwee:
hmm...what is the difference between setting it in build.prop vs setting it in autokiller?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] veper:
Other than having (another) app installed that commits the same settings at boot, none. It's just that some people prefer to have an app to do it instead of messing with the system files by hand.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] distortedloop:
Apparently the difference is that setting them in build.prop doesn't work. ;)

Did you see the last edit to the original post?

It's all in the very short to read thread, btw, but to sum it up, the theory was that build.prop made the changes "permanent" and survived a reboot, without having to have an app like autokiller startup to make the changes.

@hardcore, if I read that correctly, you're now confirming that editing build.prop doesn't have any impact? I thought you'd posted that original testing showed it to work. What changed?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hardcore:
It was a mistake on my part. Original testing showed the free RAM hovering at about 50M, and I thought the settings were working, but that's actually close to the default value (48M).

Today I compared it with using the autokiller app to set the settings, and the free RAM was really higher.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] distortedloop:
Yeah, that's too bad, it was kind of exciting to think we could use build.prop as a sort of startup script for some system settings like that. Oh well, it was great that you tried it and shared.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hardcore:
Actually the values are set by the startup script init.rc but it's read-only.

When i got my captive (which i love) i rooted it with one click root, ran "unleash the beast", and ran lag fix. i was able to install any non market apps.

yesterday i reflashed the stock rom (the first one, not the latest, are there any improvements in the latest firmware?) and followed the same steps, and now i cannot install any non market apps..

what did i do diffrent then before? strange..
[Captivate General] snapplefish:
Captivate by default is 'locked' by ATT/Samsung, barring it from installing non-market apps on the phone itself (on stock). HOWEVER, you can easily install all of the non-market apps you want through the Sideload Wonder Machine (I can't post links, too new, but this link should still work: androidcentral.com/sideload-android-apps-all-you-want-sideload-wonder-machine , have used it personally and it works very nice).
[Captivate General] dvigue:
yeah i know, but isnt that strange, that i was able to do that before? i had loaded up like 5 fonts. all with the android installer. very wierd.
[Captivate General] Dani897:
Did you remember to run the script in utb?

Start a terminal emulator and type "su" then type "sideloading"

[Networking] ebekerman:
I now have a persistent WiFi connectivity issues. As far as I can remember, it didn't happen with the stock android 2.1 that came with the phone.

These are the steps that describe the problem:

1. I'm near my home router or a public Wifi hotspot.

2. Turn Wifi on.

3. The phone scans for available networks and automatically connects to the network.

4. The phone has internet connectivity for few minutes.

5. Suddenly the WiFi indicator (notification bar) turns off.

6. Entering the WiFi setting page, the WiFi is still turned on but the networks are displayed as not in range.

7. Trying to scan again doesn't help.

8. Turning WiFi off and on again repeats the steps from #3 above.

From all my researches in the net I found a discussion of a similar problem on the N1 device.

The discussion mentions a known bug with MAC addresses starting with 38, same as my device.

Any help would be appreciated.

[General Questions and Answers] tep065:
Thats pretty cool! :) Gonna try it with the G1 tonight and see what happens.

Anyone else try this out?
[General Questions and Answers] djmaddogfreal:
idk if your G1 will work... It sounds like it needs a device with Clockwork and a CM ROM. I'm going to look into it more before I attempt to jailbreak my PS3, but from what I have read, the latest firmware update (out this week) will overwrite the exploit and re-imprison the PS3.
[General Questions and Answers] tep065:
I was trying to look when I had time at work, but if the G1 has the MSM72K USB controller it should work, but i've not had time to find out if it does. But the USB jailbreak hardware that this software is based off of, would prevent the PS3 from updating to the new firmware. You only need to update the firmware in order to go online to use those features of the PS3. If you don't play online or do online stuff with it (like me) you don't HAVE to update the firmware that Sony sends out. So if the G1 has the MSM72k USB controller we should be all set. I'm pretty sure as well that there will be an update to the jailbreak software to get around the new firmware update soon. I don't think it would NEED clockwork or CM, just that who ever it was that got it working was using that setup. I'll be home in a few hours and will experiment a little and see what happens. If it don't work on the G1, i'll try it on the Moto Cliq (may have the usb controller). And if THAT don't work i'll wait for the HTC Vision to hit T-Mo and try it with that..hehehe. worst comes worst, i'll find a used N1.

Sony has been on top of their updates lately cause there are a ton of people out there that use the jailbreak just to cheat at online play with alot of games especially COD!

It takes your J2ME java & jad files and converts them into an apk.

Just done the lag fix for my Galaxy S and it all seemed to go through fine. Tried running Quandrant benchmark to test it but it crashed. I turned the phone off and on, got the Galaxy S i9000 screen then is just goes blank, literally nothing, not even the menu or back lights. Had to then take the battery out to reboot but got the same blank screen.

I can boot into recovery but rebooting from that doesn't work either, does anyone know how to fix this? don't want to try anything for fear of making it worse :(

[Galaxy S I9000 General] stanivanov:
wont boot..

Hi, strangely but after the 2.2 upgrade on my SGS (it was JF5 and I made the trick with the registry to JPC and upgrade via KIES) it happened to me as well.. just a beautiful "S" blinking on the screen and nothing happens. On the time of upgrade in the instructions it was written that with the 3combo trick to make factory reset.. then everything worked just fine until yesterday...

Without installing any new apps, just browsing and trying to make my AllShare working.. I decided to gave up and without reason I have decided to restart my phone just to free RAM and etc.. And by no reason at all I got the same ****ty "S" screen and no boot.. tried first to wipe the cache.. didn't help.. and just after again factory reset it worked out and the phone is okay...

So probably for you the solution is really only factory reset, however this is very strange behavior :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] stormrain:
When I first applied the lagfix from the market in apk type it required an auto reboot to see if things wokred ok (as prompted on the screen).

Anyway, my phone stuck to a black screen and I was in a very inconvenient situation not to be able to use a PC (yeah, now I know I shouldn't mess with stuff like that while I'm on-the-go:p).

Long story short, after a couple of manual reboots (by taking out the battery for some seconds) it came back to life and no problems ever since. So before flashing (which can be rather incovenient if you have no backups etc) try the above mentioned method.

Original JF3 firmware (yeah need to change that).
[Wildfire Android Development] Forceflow:
My (rooted, stock rom) wildfire offered me this system update today:

1.25.405.1

Update Information: 1. Enhances support for Facebook status display when dialing; 2. Increases support for Google Services like Google Talk, Android Market and others; 3. Improves combining contacts from Outlook and other source

Problem is, I can't get it to install on my (rooted) wildfire. The system reboots, but the install fails, and I get booted back into clockwork. Anyone a solution?

--------

Update: What I did to succesfully install the update on a rooted phone

- unplug phone from USB, let it download update (it's about 13 Mb in size)

- phone will ask to reboot -> update will fail, you will be dumped in clockworkmod

- As always, do a Nandroid backup before doing anything that might possibly render your phone unusable.

- Select update from zip/sdcard (or similar), navigate to zip in downloads folder

- the update process will start

- reboot (this can be a longer boot than usual, took 10 minutes on my phone)

- phone will notify you that the update has succeeded! If you've upgraded from your stock ROM (like I did), the phone info screen should look similar to that in the attached image.

- (reflash needed for root)
[Wildfire Android Development] Forceflow:
In clockwork, I selected install update from ZIP, navigated to sdcard -> download ->HTC_Buzz_....zip file, and selected that.

Seems to be installing fine now, I'll update this post once I confirmed it worked.

is an exe file, you have to install it from windows and not from clockwork.

Before you install this update, you have to do a backup.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johev:
Well, I am looking to buy a phone for my mother http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=776087

And I am thinking that Hero could be the one.

I have just some questions about this Android phone.

1) Can I change the language of the ROM to lets say, French, Portuguese or Greek?

2) Is the community still active for this phone?

3) Any major problems that you can report?

How is the camera, Battery life, screen?

4) Is the GPS bad?

5) How is the screen for SMS writing?

I have never tried an Android phone, just what I have seen on youtube and read here, but I think it should be intuitive enough for my mother to learn how to use the main futures.

If you could give me some input, I would greatly appreciate it.

PS: My thought would be, buy this phone on ebay, put some good stable and nice looking ROM on it (hopefully I will be able to find a French, Portuguese or Greek one), install some French dictionaries, put some mp3, and leave it like that.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
1) Yes, you can do so on most 2.1 Sense ROMs

2) Yes, although much effort is focussed on 2.2 Froyo (no sense yet) ROMs. Take a look in the development forum.

3) None of those should be an issue, though some heros do give up on the screen after a while at the bottom, and need sent back to HTC.

4) GPS is alright :) I think it's good, but I don't know what you want me to compare it to. Very accurate usually (8 metre fix)

5) I like it for that, with SwiftKey. But I don't know how well it would work for your mother, and it depends on how tech-savvy she is as to if she'll like it and find it useful.

If you're after a ROM to install and leave, get a 2.1 Sense one, or maybe stock.

The main features are easy enough to use, but I'm not your mother, so perhaps try it out in a shop first if possible, to see if she likes the concept of touchscreen. TBH I wouldn't buy my mum this phone, as she just doesn't get on with technology, so it depends on what she's like with small gadgets and buttons ;)
