Another thing...

Why are some of you so obsessed with the android browser and media player not having an exit option?

I for one love how its set up , because I read a lot and listen to music a lot on my phone, I love being able to reopen the browser and continue from where I left off ... or reopen the media player and continue with my current music shuffle, knowing I won't have any repeats....

The only known issue I've seen with the browser is ( and a lot of people do this) that if you hit the home button while the browser is still loading it will keep loading in the background, and may prevent the phone from sleeping... so always stop loading pages before hitting the home button, or bookmark google.com... " 63-65m is nothing to worry about,once its in idle, if the system needs more, it will reclaim only what's needed,,..
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] localceleb:
I am pretty sure I bricked my phone somehow. I'm not really sure, but I think it was related to my new sd card I installed this afternoon, which makes no sense to me, but I can't think of anything else that would have caused this. I copied data from my old card to my new one and inserted the new one and my phone was having issues with mounting the new card to I did a restart and got stuck in a boot loop. Running CM6, with nothing out of the ordinary. So I figured I would restore my latest nandroid backup and everything would be ok. WRONG. I've basically gotten to the point of not being able to do anything within ClockworkMod without getting a message along these lines "can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (file exists)" and a couple different variations of the same bullcrap. Any ideas?

Milestone Overclock Module 1.2t (nadlabak's patch) w/ Memory Locations for DroidX 2.2 Added by FreeWELL

Credits:

Tiago Sousa aka Mirage: for The Milestone Overclock Project

nadlabak: for patching in Froyo/2.2 Support

FreeWELL: for finding DroidX 2.2 memory locations/module compilation

Notes:

I'm trying to keep this as close as possible to the way it was done on 2.1. For me, 2.2 seems to need a little more voltage to be stable than it was under 2.1. I've included two versions of setscaling.sh to start from.

setscaling.sh is set to stock voltages/clock speed

setscaling100.sh is set to stock voltages w/100mhz bump accross the board to 400/700/900/1100 (This appears to be stable for me, and is the baseline for my testing/tuning)

Install Instructions

adb/terminal:

$ su

# cd /sdcard/extracted/droidx_22_oc (or wherever you extracted the files to)

# mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mcblk1p21 /system

# cp overclock.ko /system/lib/modules/overclock.ko

# cp setscaling.sh /system/xbin/setscaling.sh

# chmod 644 /system/lib/modules/overclock.ko

# chmod 755 /system/xbin/setscaling.sh

<optional(only do after thoroughly testing what works for your DroidX in setscaling.sh)>

# cp install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

# chmod 755 /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

</optional>

# mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mcblk1p21 /system

Run Instructions

adb/terminal:

$ su

# insmod /system/lib/modules/overclock.ko

# setscaling.sh

[Droid X General] zehkaiser:
Is overlooking the DX worth it? I heard a while back it wasn't. Hopefully I heard wrong.
[Droid X General] pinoyqt:
I actually underclocked my DX. I can't keep up with the speed. running fission 1.0
[Droid X General] ericFuels999:
Yeah, I don't care about overclocking - I care about undervolting. For some reason my phone seems more responsive after undervolting on this kernel, too. Could be psychological, but I really feel like it's snappier.
[Droid X General] jaskru:
This is so freaking awesome.
[Droid X General] LexusBrian400:
Its always worth it. The benchmarks dont lie. 16.7 Linpack and 1600 quadrant. That is @ 1.19 Ghz and 64 vsel.

BTW, you can notice quite a difference during CPU intensive actions, such as restoring/backing up apps via Titanium Backup. It flew through that.
[Droid X General] Joe92T:
can you post your setscaling.sh file for the 1.19?? I havent figured out how to edit those files to mean anything yet
[Droid X General] LexusBrian400:

[Droid X General] iamrobk:
For some reason I can't get above like 1.15GHz. 1.15 works fine but 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4 all go to turtle mode. Ugh.

Tried your setscaling,fission rom 1.0, so far so good, getting 1700s in quadrant.
[Droid X General] smitth6750:
I downloaded the zip. Extracted to the extracted folder run following commands.

#cd/sdcard/extracted/droidx_22_oc

File not found?
[Droid X General] ZuneNinja!:
So, how much of a hit is it on the battery when overclocking?
[Droid X General] citanes-26:
You can also use root explorer to install the 2 files and then use terminal on the run commands
[Droid X General] smitth6750:
I tried this I can't seem to get it to work. Care to elaborate. If u can thanks
[Droid X General] citanes-26:
Extract the files, use root explorer to move overclock.ko to system/lib/modules, move setscaling100.sh to System/xbin. Then use terminal emulator to run su, enter, insmod /system/lib/modules/overclock.ko . Then , setscaling100.sh .you should be good to go.
[Droid X General] citanes-26:
Running 1300 stable
[Droid X General] Joe92T:
I'm one of the lucky ones that can run 1.19 stable and not have any issues.. haven't tried to go any higher but I'm running it on the fission rom and couldn't ask for anything better
[Droid X General] guitarevan07:
can some of you running 1.2 and higher post the .SH physical files?

That would be awesome!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewdroid:
Can someone give an explanation of the different types and ways to reset the Captivate? There's Factory Reset, GSM Reset and then the crazy Odin reset. They all seem to 'reset' in different ways, and as a new guy I'm confused.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] makitel:
This is a very general answer as pages could be written about proper usage and technique. I would advise you do more research after reading this.

The first 2 ways are used if you have issues with your phone. The reset will bring your phone back to default factory settings.

Odin is used inconjuction with flashing new ROM's on to your Captivate. Master Clear wipes the phone and the data. The next step/process would be to use ODIN to upload new firmware on to your phone. Think of it as a 2 step process.

Different ROM developers have suggested ways to flash your phone, ALWAYS read the complete forum and educate yourself about the processes and risks.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Frenzifun:
so i downloaded "Handcent" text messaging and it works fine... other then getting double notification i had a question:::::

since i get double notification it obviously means the Stock SMS still gets text messages from people i send messages to from handcent... do i get charged towards my texting plan on the stock sms? or not?.... if i am, would a solution be to rename the stock sms file with .old in the end of it so its gone? will i still get charged towards my plan?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] NKT:
Handcent uses the same SMS system app so there's no extra charge for texting via it.

To solve the double notification, just go open the default messaging app, hit menu -> settings -> uncheck Notifications.

Now you should only get notifications via Handcent.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Frenzifun:
my concern is that im still getting messages to my stock sms... doesnt matter?

im not getting cahrged?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] NKT:
Technically, yes. The stock sms program still gets the texts. But all it really is doing is accessing the same system SMS program as Handcent.

They're both just front ends for interacting with the SMS program.

You don't get charged "extra" for using Handcent versus the stock messaging app.

I've been using Handcent from day one and there's no extra charge and all my messages show up in both apps. I just never open the stock app.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] s44:
Handcent doesn't bypass SMS charges by using data. It's just another app that does what the stock SMS app does, just a bit more prettily.

For free SMS you need Google Voice. But note you have to use the Google Voice phone number as inbound/outbound. Also, there's no api for sending messages through Google Voice so you can't use any frontend app besides Voice itself.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Frenzifun:
thereee is my answer, awesome, thank you... so its still used as one of my text messages on my 500 plan.

so in that case theres no point in it for me...

now how do i do this google voice thing... i have an account with google voice with my gmail account... how does this free texting take place?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] NKT:
Ahhh, I see now. Yes, any texting from your phone's number is charged to your texting plan.

To use SMS through Google Voice, just give people your GV number and have them use that to text you. It will not be charged to your plan text bucket.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] s44:
First install the GV app if you haven't...

Then, as the previous guy said, just have people text the GV number. For outbound texts you can either fire up the GV app and select "Compose" from the menu/respond to a text someone's already sent your GV, or go to Contacts and use "Send Message" for a contact (the first time you do this the app choice menu should pop up -- you can set GV as the default for future uses).
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] martian21:
Make sure Google Voice isn't set to forward the text messages from your Google Voice number to your cell phone number or you will be charged for the text sent from Google Voice to your Cell number.

Here's something i've always wondered about clockworkmod, what does the "fix permissions" do?

i've tried to google, and i've only seen threads about people having issues and how they should run the "fix permissions" in clockwork.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] briankao1992:
It fixes permissions, which sometimes fixes force closes.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoffcorey:
permissions of what? I know it fixes permissions (otherwise they wouldn't call it "fix permissions"). And i know it can help w/ FC, but what permissions does it fix?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chichu_9:
When you download your apps, it will tell what all information it will try to access, data services, phone calls etc. Fix permissions, sets this permissions back for those, so that they have access to all the info they need to perform correctly.

I want original 6.5 or 6.5.3 rom for my xperia x1. Let it be customised one also but originallity is maintained. Please kindly help if any konwos about such kind of rom.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Draken Korin:
hi

not exactly sure if I understand your request as intended:

There are no original 6.5.X roms for X1, only 6.1. So every 6.5.X rom available for X1 is ported and customized. The amount of customization depends on the chef, so simply check the rom descriptions in the rom dev section and pic one that suits your needs in terms of appearance and incorporated applications. I think you should focus on titles containing "lite", "pure", "clean" or similar together with the wm build you want.

Best,

[Epic 4G General] viper134:
Already been to the website. It gives me facts about what is removed and what is added to the ROM but not any kind of opinion on it, which is what i'm looking for. I know some of you use it. Any useful input would be great.
[Epic 4G General] sndtubes:
I'm using it. Works pretty well. Has some issues (what ROM doesn't?). Mostly the Launcher (doesn't matter which launcher) will crash and you have to push the "Force Close" button. It then recovers almost instantly and is fine for awhile again.

Honestly, even though it can run at 1.3GHz and you can surely measure the difference in benchmark, I really don't notice any difference in speed. Maybe some very resource demanding app might be faster on this ROM as compared to the stock ROM, I just didn't notice any lagging on either ROM.

Slingplayer doesn't work just right as often the sound and video isn't synched, but apparently the problem isn't the slower processor speed as the performance is the same at 1.0 and 1.3 GHz.

I must say I'm kinda miffed at Hero (the developer) as he has a website with a forum. You have to donate to gain access to his forum which I have. I cannot get him to respond to my requests to grant access to his forum. I'd consider donating more that the minimum but not until he starts responding and allows me access to his forum.
[Epic 4G General] amosher13:
i used it for a while. its pretty sharp, totally themed with a black/green concept. very fast, snappy ROM. my phone kept freezing when OCed to 1.3 but runs like a champ at 1.2.

i switched to bubs aosp magic 0.4.1 to try out the more stock aosp android feel but kept the baked snack kernel for a while.

i actually then ran some linpack tests and switched to phoenix 1.4.3 to compare and the phoenix just barely edged it out with those tests (also OCed to 1.2) which surprised me!

overall i really liked the baked snack ROM, VVM works fine (doesnt on AOSP ROMs) but it was time to try something else out. i'd give it a shot, i might go back to it at some point it really is a cool ROM.

EDIT: i never had launcher or anything else FC on me, was very stable.
