Okay I enjoy rooting my phone and changing Roms all the time but I just have a quick question. I play homerun battle 3d a lot and I'm addicted to getting far in the game however everytime I flash a new Rom my data is erased now the question is how do I go about saving the data and restoring it after a Rom flash off about my other apps just this one. I know everyone is going to say titanium backup but how do I go about saving and restoring it thanks for the help
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
Titanium. Use the batch backup and batch restore functions for your apps + data. When you restore, you need to reboot your phone to let the system data populate.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenny111008:
I don't want to backup all my apps just that one game and its data. And when I flash a Rom do I install as usual then restore or do I just go to titanium and it'll set everything up itself
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
Don't install it first, just use titanium to restore that app+data. You won't lose a thing. HRB3D is awesome, I completely understand your concerns.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenny111008:
THANKS and my final question is do I need to have titanium backup pro to back up data or is the free one good enough
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
The free one will do it. The only difference between the two versions that I have noticed is the batch restore on the paid version is set it and forget it, whereas the free version you have to hit ok for every. single. freaking. app that you want to restore.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenny111008:
Oh okay thanks that's no problem for ne I just need to save that game the rest I can download fresh :) thanks so much saved ne so much playing and replaying of the samething
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluebeast213:
I don't like titanium. MyBackup works better IMO.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
I've heard a few people say that. What does MyBackup do that Titanium doesn't? Or what does it do better?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluebeast213:
Much more user friendly IMO.

You can choose to backup your data and then deselect anything that you don't want to backup (ie. text messages, call log, bookmarks, etc.).

and/or

You can choose to backup your apps and then deselect any that you don't want to backup. It will then ask you if you want to backup apps, app data, or apps and app data.

It has a free 30 day trial.......try it out.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
Well you can do that with titanium too. I will admit though, it's not a very user friendly app, at least not at first. It took me a minute to figure out how to use it. I will check out MyBackup though on your recommendation. It's always good to have multiple options. Thanks!

My phone is currently running HBOOT-0.76.2000.

Is there anyway for me to upgrade it to the latest HBOOT without losing root?

Basically should I want to unroot for repairs (I have a dead pixel) I want to rule out I was not rooted at all.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JTNiggle:
You can do it without losing root, but I wouldnt bother until ur taking ur phone in. You could go find the pc36img from part 2 of regaw's froyo root method, and put it on ur sdcard, then reboot to bootloader and let it do its thing. It will spit you back out into stock rooted froyo though, and put you back on an older amon ra recovery. I would just wait and run an RUU when the time comes.

Hey... I think this thing makes phone calls too!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] borchgrevink:
Talked to head of Samsung mobile in Norway today. We agreed on a direct replacement phone, and if that doesn't solve the lag (which he says he has only heard about once...) I will get a complete refund. Hope this helps (not much hope though), or else I will go for the refund and a DHD.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] conuk:
seriously? they test with no apps - text and make calls only ?!

I guess everyone with `lag` of some sort or another is imagining it..... Not good Samsung.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] borchgrevink:
Exactly. My impression too. But he claims that "every" sales person in Samsung has it and uses it with "no" problem. Just too unbelievable to me... As you say they probably only have 10 apps and use the phone for texting and calling and probably mail...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Will.1:
Hey to be honnest i've only had significant lag with one version (JPK was horrible to be honnest, but i didn't factory reset or wipe cache after flash)... different notions of lag, maybe i'm really lenient. exept for opening the widget menu in the homescreen, that took ages, worse for adding applications.

what do you guys refer to as lag?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] borchgrevink:
My lag is from 2-30 seconds when opening apps. Sometimes unlocking the phones takes 5-10 seconds. Especially noticeable if apps are not already in RAM. It also happens that it freezes for minutes.

On a friends HTC desire similar navigational tasks are more or less INSTANT!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Will.1:
wow yea that's hardcore. I've never ever had such bad lag issues. I mean 2sec is ok-ish in my books, but 30sec is just too much.

It would be interesting to see a comparison of the two phones running the same apps. I knew that when i used to use a taskiller it would slow me down a lot. Some apps messed up my speed.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neonplanet40:
Hi Guys I see a new HTC stock Rom was realsed last week.

The problem I have is that I got my phone from Vodafone so that I cannot install htc stock roms :(

The final problem is that Vodafone have notified me that they will no longer release any firmware updates for this phone!!!

So im stuck on version 1.72 which was released a long time ago!

How can I install the new stock rom on my phone? I know before you installed hspl but I have read that this does not support the new stock rom 3.14.

Another method ive seen is goldcard?

Could anyone tell me what I would have to do to install the stock rom updates?

Thanks very much for the help guys!!

Mark
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamieross:
Have you tried it? HSPL then flash the official rom? if it dont work just try a custom ROM there's plenty out there, you can always flash from SD (the original Vodafone ROM) if something goes wrong. Think im right in saying that?

I'm really sorry about opening a new thread, but i really need your help on this one. I don't know what it might be, I tried to search the forum for similar problems, but couldn't find nothing.

So the thing is the sound just disappears in mid call as for me and for the other end to, than it comes back, than it disappears again, and so on for the rest of the conversation. And, as you all would guess, that is very annoying.

My guess: Maybe something with the proximity sensor?

If someone experienced this and already found a fix for this, I would really appreciate the feedback.

Thanks in advance.

Hey fellow XDAers...before I begin, I need to share that I have done a search as well as searched the XDA wiki page and many many additional resources around the web and have been unsucessful. This is NOT about the sms sent notification!!

Problem: Disable NEW sms notification...I didnt want the "sms" logo displayed at the very top of the screen. The green LED is good enough for me, although I may be interested in disabling that as well, but thats another story.

Solution: Found this on the net

http://www.pocketpcjunkies.com/Uwe/Forum.aspx/pocketpc-dev/22937/How-can-I-remove-notification-of-new-SMS...its old, but it did the trick.

My new problem is when i disable the notification using that registry tweak, it gets rid of my threaded conversation when i press "all messages" (look at pics)...Is there a way I can keep the sms notification disabled and still keep my threaded conversations still in tact?

Pic 1 is just to show the screen before I press "all messages"

Pic 2 is how it looks after i've pressed "all messages" before the registry edit

Pic 3 is how it looks after the registry edit

So just to recap, I would like to get rid of the "sms notification" yet still keep my inbox looking like pic number 2.

Any help would be greatly appreciated..

P.S. if it helps, I haven't updated the sig, but I am using NRG'z 21681 Oct 8 CHT GTX rom

+1, pretty plz, also, is this compatible with voodoo?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hardcore:
Should be compatible, although u need to know how to add it into voodoo's startup script.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Hello :)

Values description for each one and why is welcome ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hardcore:
Hey supercurio! Great job on Voodoo, I am particularly keen on the Sharpness, Video and future Sound fixes. I think its very cool that you found out how to modify the sharpness (S-AMOLED's PenTile matrix software algorithms?).

Edited the starting post with explanations. Most of them should be documented somewhere in the Linux sources / documents.

I've been using them for a while, tweaking values here n there. I think I've finally reached a stage where I'm confident enough to recommend them to others to try. There could be more optimum values with further testing, but these work well for me with Froyo.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Yeah thank you so much for taking the time and sharing, i'll integrate them after a bit of testing :)

About the sharpness filter yes this is the main difference between S-AMOLED and AMOLED panel wise.

It's a hardware sharpness filter which is here to fight the fuzziness introduced by the pentile pattern but.. they overdid it a bit.

The "perfect" values are of course closer than the one with the same radius that the one of the blur introduced itself with the pixel pattern.

I feel it can maybe be improved a hair :)

I'll soon publish a version that allow write to the mDNIe register so you'll be able to play *live* with it too ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xan:
Nice, could these be modified post-startup? like I go adb and copy paste some of them for testing?

I've tested setprop windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec 68, no difference. Set it to

setprop windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec 10 and still, no difference.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
hey xan, you made me remember to add run-parts support.

i'll do that and you'll be able to set it without special hack very soon with voodoo
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hardcore:
I don't think the setprop values can be modified post-startup. You can check if the value was modified by doing a getprop. (The default value for that prop is 55.)

The rest of them can be modified post-startup though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] thunderteaser:
Excuse my noobiness on Android, I would like an explanation on this command:

On my GNU/Linux system I've set vm.swappiness to 10, because I've got plenty MiB of RAM and I don't want my system to swap a lot. Is this swappiness the same as Linux? Because that would mean having the system to use more RAM, and since we don't have much of that available by default, I'm just surprised you didn't set a higher value. (I'm not saying you don't know what you're doing, I just want to learn how it works!)

By the way, this script is going to be a must-have, I think you've put an excellent effort on i9000 Android development! :) Thanks for sharing!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Fr4gg0r:
The aosp windowmanager (android framework) ignores values <35. (Samsung could have changed something here, but that is very unlikely).

That value does not affect the framerate, but how many touch events are reported to the apps; this saves some cpu if the user keeps touching the screen.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Yes, i tried on Eclair to set it to 56fps (real fps is 55.5555555555555) but touch scrolling were not smoother.

I hope it can be improved in some way!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hardcore:
Thanks for the info. Looks like default settings are best unless we can actually change the refresh rate.

btw, "ls -1 /sys/block/mmc*" in adb give us:

ls -1 /sys/block/mmc*
-1: No such file or directory
/sys/block/mmcblk0
/sys/block/mmcblk1

so, "-1" key is useless
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ykkfive:
it should be -l, not one
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] [kab]:
nope, "-l" (L) should not be used, it give you long output.

"-1" give 'one file per line' option, which did not supported (yet)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ykkfive:
oh, I thought he just wanted to parse the output by long listing

and I didnt know there's a -1
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hardcore:
Hi. For vm.swappiness, a value of 0 means "do not swap unless out of free RAM", a value of 100 means "swap whenever possible". The default is 60 which is okay for normal Linux installations.

Swap = move portions of programs in RAM to disk (swap partition or file), to free up RAM so that more programs can run.

However Android by default doesn't have any swap partition or files (there is nowhere to swap to). It doesn't really need it though, since it has its own memory management system, so swap is never used. Nevertheless, I feel safer setting it to 0.

quandart

anyone test IO benchmark in quadrant before and after applying this tweaks?

any change?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hardcore:
That's strange. Could be different busybox versions. I am using busybox 1.17. The idea is to get a list of directories. If that doesn't work, you can manually put in the list of correct devices.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hardcore:
No there won't be any significant change in Quadrant. This is more for responsiveness and to reduce the lags.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DocRambone:
Maybe been asked before, but, will this be functional on 2.1 roms?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] [kab]:
strange, because if you change write params and remove lags this should give some results..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] smokestack76:
Im sure it will. But i dont trust quadrant anyhow lol. Cant wait to get home and play around with this!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] [kab]:
yes, quadrant is bull$hit for cpu (because it's mostly checking FPU performance, which rarely used in real life), but IO performance (just creating a lot of files or read/write some data from /dbdata) should be near to real usage...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] thunderteaser:
Thank you, it's clearer now! :) I didn't know that Android doesn't have a swap partition!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zenkinz:
that's because the ls (and mount) commands are executed from /system/bin instead of /system/xbin, therefore the syntax and format of output is not supported.

either add PATH=/system/xbin:$PATH before the execution of rest of scripts, or add alias, e.g.

alias ls='/system/xbin/ls'

alias mount='/system/xbin/mount'

I put them into a script for downloadable..

edit: btw, I applied the tweak and it feels much snappier than before. Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] neldar:
I can confirm that the read/write performance to rfs partitions do increase by this.

From write 1,5 mb/s to 2,2 mb/s and read 55 mb/s to 86 mb/s.

test for write: dd if=/dev/zero of=/data/test count=30000

test for read: dd if=/data/test of=/dev/zero
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] [kab]:
this script for sure should be reworked.

i have no /system/sbin/ls, only usual ls.

btw, "-1" option non required, because "ls" anyway print 1 file per line (at least at JP6 stock firmware).

second,

# mount | cut -d " " -f3
mount | cut -d " " -f3
rootfs
tmpfs
devpts
proc
sysfs
cgroup
j4fs
tmpfs
cgroup
rfs
rfs
rfs
rfs
rfs
vfat
vfat
vfat
tmpfs
#

and moreover, "mount" require "device" at JP6:

# mount -o remount,rw /system
mount -o remount,rw /system
Usage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory
#
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hardcore:
I use busybox 1.17.

The expected output of the command should be:

mount | cut -d " " -f3

/

/dev

/dev/pts

/proc

/sys

/acct

/mnt/.lfs

/mnt/asec

/dev/cpuctl

/system

/data

/dbdata

/cache

/efs

You can also put in the names of the mount points manually.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] trasig:
theres no fstab in my JP6 so i cant really use the remount thing since need both device name and directory.. maybe use awk or sed instead of cut?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kenshinta:
Does the above as-is run without issue on your phones? Cause the output I get are single line display of the files in the directory. I think expected behaviour is the directory itself?

Like:

NOW

adb shell ls -1 /sys/block/bml10
bdi
capability
dev
ext_range
holders
power
queue
range
removable
ro
size
slaves
stat
subsystem
uevent

SHOULD BE:

adb shell ls -d -1 /sys/block/bml*
/sys/block/bml0!c
/sys/block/bml1
/sys/block/bml10
/sys/block/bml2
/sys/block/bml3
/sys/block/bml4
/sys/block/bml5
/sys/block/bml6
/sys/block/bml7
/sys/block/bml8
/sys/block/bml9

in order to make the script work.

To do so I added " -d " to the ls command, ex. "ls -d -1 /sys/block/bml*"
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hardcore:
It doesn't need fstab to work. Maybe the output of your mount command is different? The idea is to get a list of all the mount points. Or just manually put them in.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hardcore:
That's the desired output. I think it's not running because u issued the command using adb.

Try

Adb shell

su
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zenkinz:
because mount in /system/sbin has different output format than mount in /system/xbin (which is from busybox), and thereofre it appears to have wrong syntax when it's becasue the device is retrieved wrongly from the cut command.

use the script posted above, it'll work correctly.
