[Galaxy S I9000 General] xpcomputers:
I've noticed that some of the lag returns pretty quickly with OCLF... that is until the most recent version! And I think that was less to do with the lag fix itself and more to do with the other settings in the app which weren't holding after a reboot before. The latest version has fixed all this (v2.2.8 at the time of posting)

Therefore to get the lag fix and other tweaks to stay fixed, I'd recommend running the latest version of OCLF (V2.2.8 or latest) with the following settings:

Root it

Install Ext2 tools

Run the 2.2 lag fix

(Then the crucial bits in my opinion):

Run the Scheduler on Deadline with "set on boot" and "Tweaks" both ticked.

Run the MinFree on "Strict" with "set on boot" ticked.

Previously I was finding that the scheduler and minfree were returning to the old settings after a reboot, which seemed to be the cause of most slow downs. My device has kept flying after this latest update fixed those. So much so, that I'm wondering about trying OCLF programme without the lagfix part as such, but just the scheduler and minfree settings, to see if they are actually the real fix to the slow downs... but I expect the combination of them all is the best so far.

Until this recent update I too would have said that the lagfix gets slower over time, so the CONS list just got a lot shorter for me with ver 2.2.8.

My battery life has got shorter at some point in time, but I don't equate this with the OCLF installation on my unit, although can't prove that! I think it was something else I installed, which I haven't tracked down yet...

Never tried Voodoo yet, so can't comment on that.

I would say take the Quadrant speed results people post with a HUGE pinch of salt! They are not accurate at all. The main item that gets sped up by the OCLF lag fix is the write speed, but the buffering you install pretends this is written to disk when it isn't. So whilst the phone is genuinely quicker with the lag fix, you can see the write tests are almost instantaneous in the test, which in the real world isn't how it happens even with the lag fix in place, so the speed results get skewed by that one false result! (i.e If you time the rest of the items, they run about the same speed after the lag fix!)... but if you like such numbers I get 2077 currently on Eclair 2.1 - JF3

Ultimately, I think the CONS list is sufficiently small to make it at least worth a try! Using OCLF is very easy, and you can completely undo it again if it doesn't help, so little to lose by trying.

I'd recommend you change nothing else for a few days before install and for a few days after installing OCLF, that way you can monitor your battery usage yourself and get a feel for whether it has changed your battery consumption, and if so, if the gains are worth it. For me the answer is a resounding "yes" now, but only since the recent reboot fixes on scheduler and minfree... before which I was about to give up on the fix and uninstall it.

Hope this helps give you a balanced view...

Mike

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jonboyuk:
I've been running Android on my HD2 since it all started up. It's been great recently with up to 2 days of useage without a charge. The phone started randomly rebooting and HTC replaced the motherboard saying the last one was faulty.

Got the phone back, HSPL 3'd it, changed to the Android VBNRom and using an MDeejay build with the M4 kernel and the battery only lasts around 12 hours?!

The set up as far as I can see is identical.

Any ideas? :mad:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] birdra:
try MDJ S3 or S3.1, some people experience poor battery life with S4

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] spireite_uk:
Hastarins 8.2 kernel? That should be OK, that one fixed my battery issues. If not, have you got SetCPU installed with the profiles set up?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] xguntherc:
I'm running darkstone v3 as my first HD2 rom ever.. I love this phone. But I have extremely terrible battery life. I could try another rom. Ill probably do that next.

I unplug around 9:20am. Head to work and when I get off around 5:30-6 my nexus one usually was sitting around 70-80% usually closer to 80%. But my HD2 so far after the same shift with minimal use is sitting with like 36% or 39% today.. that's a large large difference. I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions or ideas. I'm doing a battery drain, battery stats wipe tonight. Hopefully that will help.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zyclop:
Hi,

since a few weeks I'm playing with the thought to buy a HD2. But there is only one thing which prevents me from doing that:

The question about the future! I guess there will be some developers left, who create applications for the HD2/WM6.5. And it is possible to run Android on it. But what about repair service from HTC. How long can I send it in for repair (hope it will never need to ;) )? What about the compatibility with future devices?

-> Can anyone tell me how many years it may take until the HD2 is too old and nothing will work anymore? I prefer a lifetime of at least 2 years, starting from today!

What about other devices? Are there any similiar devices from HTC, which can be interesting? Maybe should I wait? Are there any anouncements of new devices?

I like WM6.5 really much and I also like the stuff/apps for the HD2. I won't buy WP7 for now, there are too many things which are missing, maybe in one or two years.

Best regards

Hi,

im an android enthusiast running CM6 on my Nexus one.

I was curious to know if rooting (or it's equivalent) was possible on any other mobile platform other than Android.

Thanks in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] Nods Dad:
They call it Jailbreaking on iPhone's
[General Questions and Answers] cyberjar09:
what about the rest?

What about other platforms like

WinMO

Windows Phone 7

Symbian

Proprietary OS's (Sony Ericson etc.)

BlackBerry

and even on the iPhone, would it be possible for older iPhones to runt he latest version of the OS?
[General Questions and Answers] semperlux:
You can gain maintenance access to any electronic device. The only reason I can think of to root a Blackberry, for example, would be to remove the carrier's apps. What makes rooting an Android device unique and desirable is that at its heart it is a little Linux machine and *nix is a powerful operating system capable of doing much, much more than calling and texting. With super user access (root), you can further personalize your Android device and make it look like something other than what the carrier sold you. On my HTC Evo, I've never liked Sense user interface so I flashed another ROM to change that look.
[General Questions and Answers] cyberjar09:
But why not install the latest OS 6 on the blackberry device if it's possible?
[General Questions and Answers] semperlux:
If there's a kernel available, why not?
[General Questions and Answers] cyberjar09:
are details such as that (kernel available) available to users? or is the OS completely closed?

You can try to download from slatedroid forum the image for the tablet. But you need to open the tablet, as its "flash" is a microSD card and you need to flash using a card reader.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SenK9:
I purchased one of these a few days ago. Pretty solid performance, though there are some quirks (mostly due to premature software). Likewise, really hoping there is some takeup and development on these units.

I'm a new poster, so I can't post links, but I have written up a review (with Quadrant benchmarks) and also had a look inside the unit (with pics) in my teardown, which should be the latest articles on my site in my signature.

Speed is good, as Apad Andriod 2.2 8' (nice big), 512mb RAM, 800 MHZ CPU. play games are good.

But a lot of apps not able to install on it, not sure why, Market apk(not installable), Facebook apk installed but crash during start up, XDA apk crash all the time, very limited /data/apps disk space, apps2SD do works, but does not help much of reducing disk space usage of /data volume.

I wish there are a scripts from old android 2.1 version of a2sd, relink /data/apps -> SD card.

My old Huawei U8220 2.1 + custom ROM apps2sd link works better than this 2.2, although slow.

Thread closed for selling on XDA.
[General Topics] sup3rc0w:
I'm hoping that the smart people from XDA dev would be able to point me in the right direction.

I am involved in a project that would require the development of special features onto a SIM card.

Having no previous experience of this (apart from what I've seen on my own phones) I am at a loss where top start and Wikipedia is not really giving me much :)

Essentially I would like to know more about sim applications, things such as what language they are written in, what communication method they leverage (AT commands?), storage space constraints/size.

I will not be involved in the writing of said application, but will need to know what is involved in writing them, know limitations and so forth.

If anyone here would be able to point me in the direction of a good reading source, or would care to explain what’s involved in writing them, I’d greatly appreciate it.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] BelacNongaw:
They have that bootscreen as an option too, Mike. Just follow the instructions on my second post, but you don't have to upload a framework-res as the cyanogen framework-res files are already available in the dropdown at the end. I tried the Cyanogen 6.1 RC1 selection they had and it worked at least until the 121 nightly. I'm back on plain rc1 now.

*edit* well, third post I made now....since something freaky happened and this is now the first post.

This is a flashable zip that adds the circle battery to your status bar and the dancing droid boot animation. It was made with the uotkitchen (circle.glx.nl) and tested to work on fr007 (does NOT require de-odexed rom). Should work on all of the LiberatedFR (froyo) roms.

Nandroid backup and flash from recovery. If you don't know how to do this just search the forums....as this has been explained too many times.

Just thought it would be convenient for some people if one was already made and posted.

I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] BelacNongaw:
Guys just head on over to http://circle.glx.nl/ and create to your heart's content. All I did was the circle battery and bootsplash (they have several to choose from). The other items like status bar mods, etc may cause you to bootloop if not using a de-odexed rom....so careful.

When at the end, upload this framework-res.apk. I have attached the framework-res.apk for the liberatedFR rom to this message for your convenience.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] duckredbeard:
The dancing Droid is entertaining, but the real benefit is the circle battery indication. I can now delete my battery widget. Thanks!

Again, I just posted that zip and don't actually have anything to do with the site. As I said, just the circle and boot splash were confirmed to work with the standard FR rom. Any of the other features should require the de-odexed version of the rom, which I haven't tried. That may be your issue.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] magneticzero:
The only reason I had to do this was because I was rooted with stock kernal(prior to OTA), it downloaded the update and tried to apply. It didnt update properly.

Do a backup of your data using various programs on the market( I use My Backup Pro) and do a Nandroid backup always before trying to update anything(my advice)

****IMPORTANT*** Please make sure you follow steps 1-4 and have S-Off before you continue to next section ****IMPORTANT***

Before Applying OTA or RUU:

1. Root using the Unrevoked tool http://downloads.unrevoked.com/recovery/3.21/reflash_package.exe

2. Make sure you have S-Off using Unrevoked Forever (flash in Clockwork Mod) :if you need the file http://downloads.unrevoked.com/forever/current/unrevoked-forever.zip

3. Check to see if you have S-Off after press Volume Down + Power

4. Once you have S-Off you can continue

Applying RUU:

Apply this after having root prior to OTA------>RUU(stock): http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Inc...4k_NV_1.50_PRL58006_release_143351_signed.exe

1. Run the RUU and let it reflash your phone to the new OTA

2. Phone will reboot with settings set to factory

3. You should see the new bloatware installed..you cant miss it!

Rooting after having S-Off and applying RUU:

1a. With phone on and make sure you have Debugging enabled (Settings>Applications>Development> check USB debugging)

1b. Use Unrevoked (not Unrevoked Forever) http://downloads.unrevoked.com/recovery/3.21/reflash_package.exe

2. Wait for it to say waiting for root in the Unrevoked flash program(Unrevoked tool will not complete and say:Waiting for root(this is normal at this point) and phone is restarted, then exit Unrevoked.

3. Place clockwork mod on sd card as PB31IMG.zip(it already comes in this filename) and then power down the phone http://downloads.unrevoked.com/forever/recovery/clockworkmod/PB31IMG.ZIP

4. Go into recovery(volume down + power button) and let it detect pb31img and let it install(have to manually click yes at the prompts)

5. Then use clockwork mod to install superuser apk manually http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6408470/su-releases/su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip

6. Reboot and you will have root with superuser access

***short term fix until devs can streamline it for the OTA update or if you use the RUU(stock kernal and all the bloatware which can be removed easily)

Then i used Root Explorer(on the Android Market) or you can use ADB shell to delete if you prefer to delete the unwanted bloatware.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] alphatectz:
Will this work for an slcd incredible?

Also I've tried to root but I can't install the slcd fix file in the bootloader. It shows that it picks up the file but it won't let me install it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] maxnic:
Not Working!

I'm continuing to hack at this myself....I performed the return to stock, updated to the latest OTA, and now using steps 1 to 3 of this method fail, when the phone reboots it checks the zip file and just returns to the menu without install anything. I get the feeling the phone having S-ON right now is an issue.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cosine83:
I'm guessing you're correct. I'm attempting this on a brand new Incredible and no dice. The PB31IMG.ZIP just gets glossed over.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] blackwolf77:
It fails for me too. If we could just figure out how to get s-off............
[Droid Incredible Android Development] magneticzero:
I should of made it clear that I had S-OFF previous to the procedure above.

Just wondering does the Unrevoked root method do that or no? Maybe someone can chime in with a solution to that.

Just wondering also have you guys done the RUU first to get to stock with the latest OTA?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cosine83:
You can't use the PB31IMG.ZIP without S-OFF, end of story. Unrevoked can't turn S-OFF unless a custom recovery can be flashed, then flash the unrevoked forever zip and from a stock setting with the new OTA, that cannot be achieved. I activated this new phone and was forced into the new update without question so I'm stuck waiting on Unrevoked to update.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] magneticzero:
im going to try something, give me a sec
[Droid Incredible Android Development] alphatectz:
So I see that many of you tired it. I have the s-off file that I made into a zip file but since I have an slcd incredible I won't be able to go into recovery and load it.

I guess will have to wait for the unrevoked team to update.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cosine83:
I'm an IT admin at my company and I'm responsible for setting up the phones for every one and we're using Incredibles. I've had several rooted and unrooted users perform the update (against my warning). Thankfully, I got to investigate one of the rooted phones that performed the update. It seems that root was not taken away as SetCPU, ADB root, and other root applications still functioned properly. The phones that are rooted are using Calkulin's ROM and King's #5 BFS. The phones "applied" the update but it seems nothing was actually updated? The software version hasn't changed, the kernel hasn't changed but the baseband and PRI is the same as the new update.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] alphatectz:
That great news, but I can't even get my Inc to root.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cosine83:
You have to use the Amon Ra port to get into a custom recovery with the SLCD DIncs. All of the new ones I've been getting here are SLCD. I've attached the recovery.img for it. Before plugging in your phone with debugging on and starting unrevoked, you can choose a different recovery than clockwork.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] alphatectz:
Thx, can I manually install it on the inc itself and try to push I threw them bootloader?

Or do I have to adb it?

Also if I can upload it manually on the inc. Should I keep the same file name or change it to PB31IMG.zip?
