This is quite a simple howto and I don't even know if it's appropriate to post it here instead on legend general. I post here as it requires root privileges, if someone think this is the wrong section for it just ask a mod to move it somewhere else :)

This (quite simple) howto is intended if you are experiencing lags or slowdowns with live wallpapers, and it's working very well for me. I think most of you can do this without an howto but I hope someone less experienced in messing with terminal will find it useful :) I just try to help.

Will work better if you disable the wallpaper scrolling in the launcher's properties. The thread is titled 'renice live wallpapers' but I found it works better to renice the launcher. However you can try both

I would like to thank BlaY0 for the help.

you'll need:

- root privileges

- a terminal emulator

- live wallpapers

- GScript

what you have to do is:

- download GScript from market (lite or paid version, works with both)

- launch it, then press Menu/Add script

- give it a name, be sure to check 'Needs SU', then type this in the text field below

renice -15 `pgrep android.process.acore'

where android.process.acore is the LauncherPro process name. If you're using another launcher you have to do a google search and find its

process name

- now save, and try executing it and see if it works

- add a shortcut to GScript on your home which launches the script. With this approach you have to launch it after every reboot

Maybe you want to try to renice the live wallpaper too (this may slow it down, I would not suggest to do it). To do this

- launch the terminal

- write 'ps' then press enter

- will appear a list of processes. here you should find one that has a name similar to the LWP you're using (for example, I'm using Pixel Zombies Infection and the process name is haydenTheAndroid.liveWallpaper.pixelZombies)

now you can renice it either from terminal or from GScript.

To renice from terminal:

- check the number *** which the process has in the PID row. You have to remember this number

- write 'su' then press enter. now you have root privileges

- write 'renice N ***' where N is the nice number you want (20=minimum priority ; -20=maximum priority, which you obviously don't want). You can set it to 20 to give the LWP the minimum priority

To renice from GScript go in the script you already created and add a similar line, by substituting "-15" with "20" and the process name with your LWP's process name.

You should now see an increased smoothness when scrolling homescreens and app drawer :)

[Legend Android Development] Corra:
Thanks, let me know
[Legend Android Development] D-Lo:
Just tried it out with the Light Grid LWP (com.joko.lightgrid) and ADW Launcher. All I can say is that this feeling is so smooth, it is like an angel pissed on my Legend just now :p

PS: I used adb instead of terminal emulator.
[Legend Android Development] Corra:
LOL this is pure poetry :P
[Legend Android Development] lxsnipexl:
Hi , i tried this and it really works!

But it is at the cost of the smoothness of the LWP :( i guess our puny 600mhz processor aint up to speed to handle LWP properly T^T
[Legend Android Development] Corra:
I oupdated with a script that does the procedure automatically but I'm encountering some issues with its permissions... no time to think about it now, will try again later :)
[Legend Android Development] JokoInteractive:
Hey, I'm the dev for Light Grid. Just wondering about performance issues - did you try the Battery Life slider in the Performance settings? That should lower the amount of time Light Grid spends taking up the CPU, which should help 'lag' issues.
[Legend Android Development] maxonite:
Will this setting keep after a reboot?
[Legend Android Development] BlaY0:
Of course not...

You would need a script that would do that on every reboot.
[Legend Android Development] D-Lo:
I just tried your suggestion (overlooked it somehow ^^").

The LWP is indeed faster/smoother when maxed on 100fps, result? Terrible, terrible lag in the drawer. Also tried 15fps and no joy, the launcher is still suffering by it when opening the drawer (unless renice'd ofc ;)).

offtopic: My guess is that the lwp's are getting a little too high priority by default that actually make the launchers lag on a phone like this. Maybe even a rom setting?
[Legend Android Development] Corra:
I made a script but I don't know how to autorun it at boot. Unfortunately I'm very very noob
[Legend Android Development] BlaY0:
There are several possibilities:

find some app on market that does that

use GScript to run the script manually on every reboot

use run-parts approach through init.rc

run the script directly from init.rc

...there are some more.
[Legend Android Development] Corra:
until I figure out how to autostart the script at boot I updated the howto including GScript. thanks
[Legend Android Development] BlaY0:
I have written something about run-parts a while ago into dsixda's Kitchen thread in Chef Central subforum...
[Legend Android Development] stegg:
can anyone post the script? :D
[Legend Android Development] Corra:
Had not time to think about it :) but you can use it with GScript which is quite simple
[Legend Android Development] chareos12:
I'd like to try this in form of SL4A script in order to use my already-running Tasker rather than gScript.

Do you guys have some hint for me to do this ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] urwrstfear:
Anything? 10 more fps and the psx emulator would work and my 7month wait for a phone upgrade would for by so much quicker.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nspot:
Solution?

You can flash the BFS kernel; it supposedly boosts FPS rates a lot.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
+1 The BFS kernel won't change the GPU, but it will allow for faster gameplay on the CPU processing end.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Asadullah:
I think I read somewhere decadence or someone was gonna work on the gpu
[Hero CDMA Android Development] urwrstfear:
Ya I read that too. I posted in that section asking about it. But didn't receive any info back. There was a whole topic about how our gpu on another phone was ocerclocked and running 40 fps.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
I believe (may not be right about this) that the project to OC our GPUs was abandoned because there wasn't a way to actually do it with our hardware.

http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/24/verizon-ceo-confirms-plans-for-tiered-data-pricing/

According to an article on engadget, verizon ceo confirms plans for tiered data pricing. I'm not sure how this will effect customers who have already signed a two year contract. I asked the Verizon rep when I bought my X, and he told me a while back that since I have a contract I won't be affected until it is up, but you know you can't trust them.

Either way, this sucks... way to go Verizon and ruin the best thing you have going for you.
[Droid X General] skraapz27:
That sucks the big one.
[Droid X General] dr154:
if ur already on an unlimited plan they cant make u chose a a tiered plan it goes against ur contract with them so they would ummm grandfathered ur plan until its expired...
[Droid X General] mcmexican:
Yes they are all correct your current contract would not be affected. I also saw a story about the Sprint CEO making comments that teired data could be coming to Sprint. Looks like all the carriers will be doing this in the future. Maybe they will use some of that money and upgrade their networks ;)

-McMex
[Droid X General] GoldenCyn:
Its just like the new data plans for the iPhone. If you had the unlimited plan before the tiered plans game out you would be grandfathered in. My younger brother had the iphone 3 gs, then cancelled and switched over to the droid x, didn't like it then went back to at&t with the new contract only to find out that he now has tierd data plans.

This will be the same issue for verizon users so stick with your plans and nothing will change. Plus we all know that droid x users consume more data than any other droid product.
[Droid X General] owenbeals:
Ill just take my droidx to boostmobile they have unlimited everything for $60 a month
[Droid X General] amathophobia:
So happy i used my upgrade to get my droid x. Got 2 years of unlimited. I knew this was going to happen eventually. Doesn't mean i like it.
[Droid X General] GoldenCyn:
Has this been verified to be possible?
[Droid X General] zehkaiser:
If Boost uses a cdma network it's possible. Just a few system changes. For my old Storm it was as simple as changing an xml file to cross to other carriers, but it was a cdma and gsm phone.
[Droid X General] sp1kez:
This is horrible, first they go from $10 data to $30 data (charging basically what it would cost you to get a voice line) now they **** us again???

AT&T is a joke, went from $30 unlimited to $25 2GB...really?????? you charging basically the same for only 2GB? what a joke, this is complete bull**** if verizon has anything close to that.

Fair $15 2GB $20 5GB
[Droid X General] yukmizzee:
Yeah good thing I just signed for a 2yr with verizon. Cuz THAT BLOWS BIG OLE DONKEY BALLS>
[Droid X General] toddman:
In the future....I'm talking 10/15 years....Tiered Data plans will suck if the limited plans stay at the same cap. Because when 6G comes out and verizon has yet to raise the ceiling on your 200MB plan ...your transfer rate per second will be so fast that within a few minutes you'd hit your 200MB monthly data cap for the whole month. I know the executives are thinking this far down the road and are probably shivering with fear with unlimited plans and are thinking dollars signs with tiered plans. That's why it's so crucial to try to stay on unlimited for the rest of your life.
[Droid X General] dtran00:
.....in canada we get pretty much gouged......eat this boys...$25 for. .... Wait for it....500mb.

I am constantly aware of how much i am downloading and up loading. Thank god for wifi everywhere.
[Droid X General] toddman:
25 bucks for 500MB??? I feel so sorry for you. I'm really curious to see what Verizon proposes. They usually copy everything AT&T does so I'm assuming 200MB/2GB but it may be a little different. Either way it's limiting and those caps will only work with today's technology not tomorrows.
[Droid X General] rlacsamana1989:
They would be doing this as some people don't use that much data on their smart phones so this lets them pay for what they need at a lower cost. Now for those who use 3-5GB will be screwed, what really sucks is they say the Droid line uses more data than any other smartphone.

But luckily those of us that already have unlimited data plan will not be have to deal with this until you upgrade your device which in that you would be upgrading your contract including that specific detail. Even if you go month to month after your contract they cannot change it on you.
[Droid X General] Barker412:
Crap...
[Droid X General] weedahoe:
HA!! You havent seen AT&T's new data plan for the Blackberry Playbook yet have you?

They are even worse. IDK how ANYONE would buy an Ipad or Playbook from AT&T
[Droid X General] InfamousDX:
That's not fair at all, adding $5 for over double the bandwidth.
[Droid X General] Casshern:
LTE is just around the corner, and can already run up to 100/mbps on single antennas without duplexing. Poor sprint.
[Droid X General] m3n00b:
So if we are grandfathered in...and we upgrade our phones in one or two years, only to find out our unlimited plan isn't "compatible" with the new phone, we'll be forced to get tiered data?

This happened when I went from my dare with $10 unlimited data to my omnia with $30 unlimted data. I wasn't allowed to keep my data plan because it was not compatible.
[Droid X General] toddman:
Not too sure if this will be the case. I know with At&t they were grandfathered in even while upgrading to the iphone 4. But you're right, I've had verizon force a new plan on me just because I was upgrading to a different device. I'm sure going to tiered will be unstopable in the future...Big Red will just say "oh you want LTE, well here's a new plan for you". :mad:

First of all you could have it posted in QnA

Second, use search.

do hard reset and wipe cache.

Of course you will lose ur settings, accounts...

Maybe try first wipe-cache only.

If you got debugging mode turned on in settings:

On a PC download android sdk, open command window in tools directory...

type "adb reboot recovery"

But I dont think it may help at all, its just to make u step forward

If you dont have debugging mode turned on in settings:

Only samsung.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riyaz_7:
Hi

I am currently running VR12 with flykernel10a and I have to say it is a very stable system and battery life is amazing using the suggested settings. I am considering giving launcherpro a go. I like the idea of being able to customize the homescreen more. The question I have is for those people who have launcherpro installed over VR12. Is it as quick or quicker/slower than rosie ?

How would I go about installing launcher pro over rosie ? Will Rosie still be running in the background ? If I do decide to go with launcherpro, would it be better to remove rosie completely ? (How would I go about this ?)

Any feedback is appreciated,

Riyaz
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
It should be faster, as rosie is pretty slow. If you want to remove rosie, you might want to look at SuperHero 2 as a ROM (it's slightly older now, but it's off a similar base to VR12, but uses launcher pro as the default launcher, with much of rosie removed)

If you do use it and can't get Launcher Pro to open, you might need to install the newer apk of Launcher Pro (www.launcherpro.com) via adb to get it working (since Launcher Pro expires due to being a beta, with free updates available via market or that website)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riyaz_7:
Is there a way for me to remove rosie on VR12 and exchange for launcherpro without changing the ROM ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
Well, you could remove Rosie.apk and add Launcher Pro's apk, but nandroid first in case it breaks

I'm distraught.

One of the companies I work for has upgraded to Exchange Server.

I have no problems getting mail on computer or phone, however, Outlook 2010 creates a new calendar and contact list that is almost *empty*

That is fine as well, as I have my own contact and calendar in Outlook.

But now, when I sync with HTC Sync - my contacts and calendar entries disappear from HTC Desire, and gets replaced with the ones in the Exchange Calendar & Contacts.

All I can choose from is PCSync - and on the android I can't specify which calendar and contact. In HTC Sync, I can't seem to select either, only Outlook as option (running HTC Sync 3.0.XXX) - latest

I tried to place everything on Google Calendar (even though I don't like privacy issues), but I have Windows 7 64 bit (and gee - nothing works well with 64 bit).

Unfortunately - I can't place my calendar entries on the company's server, since I work for different companies and don't want to give out certain contacts and issues...

Can someone help? Pretty please with cherry on top?

Hi all,

I am wanting to create a live wallpaper and have a FLV file with the animation that I'd like to use.

Can anyone provide some steps that I need to take in order to get a FLV as a live wallpaper?

Will I need to capture each frame as a png and iterate through them in my code? I've seen examples of where this is used, with 3-4 pngs, but my animation may end up with a couple hundred if I captured each frame!

Is there a way of just playing the file as my wallpaper with no conversion?

I'd like to be able to package the wallpaper into an APK and distribute it via the market too...

Thanks.
[Android Software Development] majinfaisal:
Anyone....?
[Android Software Development] Che123:
Somewhere in this forum I have seen a live wallpaper creator. You can create it by importing single screens,

I think the easiest way would be to take screenshots from the single frames, edit & resize them and use that tool.
