Micro sd card

I dont know the conclusion of this test results i have

my wm6 rom is energy rom and radio 2 10 50 26, micro sd card is default 16 gb sandisk class 2 card

froyostone v 3.2 was slow on it, while the mdeejay evo stock version 1.1 is blazing fast ,there is something mdeejay does with the animations sometimes they annoy you but are so blazing fast with minimal battery consumption.

This weekend i am getting my class6 16 gb sandisk card and i am going to try all the builds on it along with various radios and wm6 roms. Will post the result as soon as possible.

My question is there is something called swap( disk space) used in linux distros where they use it as a part of their ram space so they keep all the applications in it for faster work . Is there any way we can use it in android so that the apps run faster with minimal battery consumption.

For all us hd 2 users please use radio with 50 in it.

My simulation of froyostone build

I simulated what darkstone did to his hd2 with the same wm6 rom and the same radio and the same android build , but the only difference was my us hd 2 , it failed miserably with wifi slow,flash got stuck and apps were damn slow and sods,ultimately it became unusable and i had to switch to mdeejay build . Thats why i always feel there is something diffrerent in both hd2 models as well as there is some difference in the wm6 rom builds for each of them.

I am still waiting for darkstones new build with sense as it will be always with better stability.

Was facing the SOD once a day till installed WM ChuckyDroidROM (this is IMPORTANT) + 2.12.50 Radio + android ROM of your choice (IMHO mdeejay does it properly:)

I forgot about these black screens completely:)

thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] t1h5ta3:
swap space basicly makes up for lack of ram. the problem is that theres a speed diferance between the nand and the sdcard, the slower the sdcard the worse it becomes. personaly, i have been multitasking alot and not seen an issue with ram management.

android memory management in 2.2 builds is exelent.

oh, and they dont " keep all the applications in it for faster work" it push's inactive programs there so it doesnt have to use as many cpu cycles if the app is called upon. when ram gets low, it usualy kills inactive programs. so swap space alows for slightly faster program start up, if it was allready opened ( ie: multi tasking) or stuff like wigets etc that poll for info every hour etc.

ive been getting BSOD with my Elegancia & Energy ROM on Froyostone 3.2

however, looking to flash the kernel as someone wrote BSOD is kernel related and updating the kernel might be the way forward
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] t1h5ta3:
from what ive seen on the builds ive flashed, its related to having auto brightness turned on under menu/display settings/brightness

next time you get bsod, try holding the phone up to a bright light scource...

I was wondering who I would have to contact to get the source code to the XDA Forum app. I'm looking to develop an app for the MMO "Star Trek Online" for accessing the game forums, but since the forum setup is nearly identical to the XDA forums, it would be a lot easier to use the XDA App as a starting point and build on that as it seems to work very well and is extremely stable.

My plan is to use the XDA Forum App to create the STO App, but also add to it. The In-Game chat uses XMPP, and the in-game mail and forum PMs are the same system, so if I add a XMPP Client, that would allow STO players to use the in-game chat, mail, and browse the web forums all from one app on their android phones.

So, if you know the person/people who developed the XDA Forum app, can you point them in my direction or point me in their direction?

[Desire HD General] Yao Ng:
Hi,

I've only been playing with my phone for a day so apologies if I'm treading old ground.

I've dumped a few DivX movies on the phone and can happily play them using Rockplayer. However, they also appear in Gallery and Sense and if accessed from these apps the whole phone suffers serious performance issues like freezing and extreme slulggishness. It indicates a hung process and the only way to remediate the situation is via a reboot.

The obvious answer would be to not access them vai these apps, but if they're muddled with other videos then it doesn't take much to accidently select one or for someone else playing with my phone to do the same.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks,

Yao
[Desire HD General] matthiasdeblaiser:
I think it all depends on your bitrate. You can have a divx movie that is completely unplayable because it's such a high bitrate.

For example I bought(;)) a divx movie and put it on the phone, same problem you're having.

I ripped a movie myself and that one played without any problems... (think it was like 512x384, 1000bps which is mooooore than enough on a phone)

but anyway I'm switching to all .mkv movies but I haven't found a decent app to play those (yet)

Run it for a few days, and let us know what you think

You might be suprised once you have tawkon on your phone for a few days.

We’re actually currently running a beta feedback program so if you’re willing, we’d love you to tell us whether you’re still unsure of the need/use for tawkon after having it on your phone for a few days. Just email amit@tawkon.com and we’ll send you a link to the quick questionnaire. Your feedback will be really helpful as we fine-tune for the next versions.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] EarlZ:
How would we be surprised ?? I mean I dont understand the real point of this application asides from measuring the signal strength and converting it into a radiation GUI.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] tawkon:
more than signal strength

While signal strength is one factor taken into account when measuring radiation levels, the algorithm is a lot more complicated than that. In short, tawkon RRI technology collects and analyzes RF-related data extracted from the mobile device. Complex algorithms considering environmental and personal usage factors help determine actual radiation exposure levels. Results are calibrated in an RF lab to ensure radiation levels are accurately monitored and that actions taken actually helped lower the user’s exposure to radiation. More info for anyone interested at www.tawkon.com/technology

But it’s also a lot more than a gauge. tawkon not only shows you the radiation levels at any given moment, but also how to lower your personal exposure, and then confirms whether it’s worked. We also track your personal exposure over time so you can see the cumulative exposure over the past call, day, week and month.

I encourage you to try it out for yourself and you’ll see that tawkon is not only a lot more sophisticated than a reception gauge, but a lot more useful too :-)

Is there any application which uses the approximate sensor to detect whether using the loudspeaker or not.

More explanation:

When the ear is near the phone speaker, the sensor will turn of the loudspeaker, else it will turn the loudspeaker on.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chrisjasper:
So with the advent of boot loaders such as Excellers which allow you to choose different builds of Android, what exactly do you need to copy off the SDCard to backup your build?

I dont mean the data, sms, mail, etc, but the actual entire build?

Is it enough to simply copy the Android folder and the files inside it including data.img or is there a need to copy the other folders and files that android creates in the root of your SD (LOST.DIR, rosie_scroll, etc)?

Android builds automatically create those folders and files if they do not exist for them, but will it cause issues if they already exist, since we can now switch between builds on the same card?

Any ideas??

Oh, and I did search, didnt find anything conclusive though.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Machiel187:
As far as I know. Making a copy of the Android folder is enough. Be carefull though, the DCIM folder must be backup aswell if you have made any pictures/video's. The rest of the folders .secure etc are just temp folders.

For backing up you can use the free program Titanium backup aswell (found on market), use the search, someone wrote a nice guide for it some time ago. Can be used very easy to transfer your installed apps from one build to another. Transfering system settings isn't a good idea, especially not if you switching different builds. Only when updating your current build it should be ok (not recommended), but sometimes copying your data.img to your new build is enough to get your applications in the new build.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chrisjasper:
Basically I just want to try out different builds concurrently, switching between them with Exceller.

Data isn much of an issue since most of mine is in the cloud somewhere but its a pain installing some new build only to find the one you just had and spent time configuring, was a hell of a lot better.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Machiel187:
Well i'm not entirely sure about where the settings are stored. But my guess is, just backup the android folder and you will be fine (think most is stored in the data.img). Delete all the other folders and switch to your new build. If you don't like it, switching back should be a breeze.

Why don't you just try it once. Change some settings, delete all the folders except for the android folder and boot again, see if the changes you made are still there.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chrisjasper:
mainly because there arent enough hours in the day, so many roms, so little time.............
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Machiel187:
Well, since i'm at work and bored, I tried it for you.

Only imporant folder is the Android folder and our DCIM for your pictures. All the other directories do nothing but temp stuff on my rEVOlution 2.2. Deleted them all and android still booted just fine with all settings and homescreens I had applied.

Hope this awnsers your question now.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chrisjasper:
Excellent, thank you very much, I will be trying to clear some time later to try an alternate build on the same card. I will post how it goes.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chrisjasper:
Seems to work, as long as you edit the startup text to include the foldername of your build Exceller lets you switch between builds:

set cmdline "rel_path=YourbuildfolderHere"

[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] glenn.xyz:
Hi,

I remember from owning an IPhone having to synchronise my ewallet (a password manager) files over the air from the desktop whilst the app was running on the phone. (I'll admit it was a minor annoyance).

Having moved to android and using a combination of dropbox and keepass, I don't really think about anymore - I just open dropbox and click the file and keepass opens up.

But, what about WP7? I realise that apps are only permitted to use their own storage. If I were to build a say, a keepass app for WP7, would I be back to building some desktop client software that allow syncing over the air whilst the app was running (like IPhone/ewallet), or hooking into any number of online sync services like Dropbox, Box.net, Pogoplug, etc, just to get the file some place the app can reach it.

I'm having trouble thinking of any other option given the lack of any common storage.:confused:

Thanks
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] rooksie:
If you did develop Keepass for WP7, you'd have your first customer here! :)

I'm actually tempted to try and port it myself, and I've come to the same conclusion as you regarding storage. The local KDB file would need to held in private storage and synchronised to an off-device copy, be that a desktop app or something like drop box.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] glenn.xyz:
A keepass app is one of the things I was considering. Not so sure about it now.

I'll have a look round for an elegant solution.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Seven_PRX:
Well, isn't Skydrive the same as Dropbox? As I understood WP7 uses Skydrive to store your files 'in the cloud'; so why not put your Keepass file there?
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] glenn.xyz:
I'd not considered skydrive/mesh. I'll 'ave a look.

Thanks for the heads-up.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] AceofSpades25:
I'm thinking of writing a desktop synching app myself. That way any WP7 app could connect to it to import files from a PC.

I've thought about using skydrive myself, but it doesn't seem to offer a way to download the file directly.
