[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
Using a2sd, one can move their dalvik cache to either the cache partition of their internal memory or the sdcard itself. The benefit being clearing up significant space in the /data/ partition for apps.

But my question is, from a performance standpoint, which is better? While internal memory is surely faster than sdcard memory, does using up part of the cache partition with dalvik cause other slowdowns that offset the benefit? Or is the difference between cache partition and sdcard measured in micro-seconds so that we wouldn't even know the difference?

Thanks :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
UPDATE:

I found that some Market apps did not want to download and install properly when dalvik was on the cache partition but had no issues when on the sdcard.

Ok so i ran into some problems today after updating eclipse and JDK.

when opening sdk manager i get told java not found in your path then it finds it in program files and tells me to reflect this in user variables path which i already have. what is going someone please helpme before i put my fist through the comp screen!!

I am running win7 home premium 32bit

I also tried the zip sdk revision 8 and still get the same message seem ok going into sdk manager but on exit it gives me this message
[Android Software Development] mik101:
Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Environment Variables

Make sure your Path= has the JDK directory in it.... odds are your old one is still there and its not pointing to the new JDKs folder. (Just saying it again even though you said you already did).

Remove all traces of old java installs and try again -- including adding it to the path..... Sometimes the JDK can be a real PITA, but usually most of the issues occur in 64bit versions.

Did you uninstall Java JREs you had installed before the JDK as well?

thank you for that! now i can save on the back case and just buy a new cover :)

maybe one of the only pros for Samsung making such a cheap door. :\
[Nexus S Accessories] chris6278:
I actually got three before they were out of stock an sold two an kept one. These things scratch so dam easy its almost not even worth gettin a replacement cover cause itll be scratched as well in no time. I even put a zagg on the back as soon as i got it an when i took it off to put a bestskinsever on it still had some fine scratches on it an i baby the **** out of this phone, so the only reason i can see spendin more money on a replacement is if i cracked the cover or something
[Nexus S Accessories] leyvatron:
I will buy some once they are in stock.
[Nexus S Accessories] Nexus MC:
I will be ordering too once it's back in stock. Already have 2 fine scratches on the back after keeping the "stock" clear plastic cover packaging thingy for over 3 weeks. The scratches came from me wiping the back from the oil in my skin with a lens cleaner. UGH.

But curious, the battery cover has that antenna. I wonder if this OEM cover will have it, my guess it won't. And if it doesn't, I suppose we have to remove the antenna from the old cover?
[Nexus S Accessories] chris6278:
They have they antenna in them
[Nexus S Accessories] ztm.000:
Yeah, seriously why would these not have them. They're OEM.
[Nexus S Accessories] Anderdroid:
I want one. Since people have 3... Be sure to list an extra on ebay for those of us that can't get the stock ;) I'd also like a new bezel... Lol. It has some slight imperfection 'mini' chips but I guess I could try sanding it? Lol
[Nexus S Accessories] Nexus MC:
I would assume so as well. But I have bought OEM parts (for the G1) and when they specify back case, it's just the back case. No cushioning foam or whatever that was attached to the one that came with my phone.

But I just checked the additional pictures and it does show the NFC antenna. Good thing. Just hope they actually ship as that.
[Nexus S Accessories] Nexus MC:
Anderdroid, I believe the thread is for the back (battery) cover and not the fascia (bezel). I checked the site and there is no listing for what you're looking for.
[Nexus S Accessories] Anderdroid:
Oh yeah I know it's about the battery cover. I need one of those too.
[Nexus S Accessories] Smokexz:
I thought Samsung would have done something similar like they did with the Galaxy S give a spare one with maybe a different colour, or just a spare, I honestly don't know where you could buy these from Google themselves, because this is very much vital to the NFC feature to work, if you break it then you NEED a new one, and one from China might not work the same. These might be OEMs, but it's better than nothing.

Hello folks,

I know we have all been wanting to protect our Nexus S, especially the back battery cover.

[Fascinate General] LINKSLOVESANDROID:
ive been testing kernals on my telus fascinate t959d to see if there was any way to get around the no developer issue and came across the love off my live.

the kernels name is "Voodoo-stable-5.0.-Froyo-GT-I9000-odin-pda".

From leaked stock 2.2, i flashed this kernel over the stock through odin. during the initial boot, the female droid voice walked me thru voodoo setup. wait afew minutes after your phone is done loading to allow voodoo to completely enable itself or u will get fc issues. To get to Red clockwork recovery, while your phone is off, hold both volume bottons and the power button. continue holding those 3 buttons until the 2nd i9000 popsup then release all 3 buttons. That should load u into clockwork recovery voodoo. This just basically opened the floodgates for rom testing for me. im running nero v4.1 on my TELUS FASCINATE t959d with no errors at all.

imma upload and post the link

this is the omega leaked 2.2 files in cause u need emergency odin reflash

this is the voodoo enabled kernel

http://rapidshare.com/files/442330146/Voodoo-stable-5.0.1-Froyo-GT-I9000-odin-pda.tar to install this, just download odin, get yout phone into download mode, place the file in the pda slot, and go. i suggest u go back to stock b4 u start for a wiped stock install. if u need help, email me at links2386@gmail.com Thx to omega for creating my interest in android custom roms

i just exchanged the previous kernal for a i9000 advanced zoodoo OC/UV and its working mint with nero 4.1. heres the thread to the other kernals

telus fascinate users rejoice!!!!! we r now up to date with everything
[Fascinate General] LINKSLOVESANDROID:
after playing around some more ive realized the telus t959d can use most i9000 kernels with no issues. the only 2 issues ive found running advanced voodoo is theres no home button but since i hate having apps running in the background that doesnt bother me and when your phone completely dies, and u plug it in, the battery charge screen gliches out and needs a battery pull. i can easily get around both for the features of a overclocked or undervolted kernel. as far as roms go, most i9000 roms and most vibrant roms work! after i got the rom up and running i just reflashed the proper kernel 4 my phone and the telus modem pulled from omegas leak and bam! ive tested both i9000s darkys v8.0 gingerbread but didnt like the icons for sms and gmail and also nero v4.1 for vibrant with flashed telus modem and i9000 kernel which works mint. running right now. advanced voodoo comes with a custom boot which overwrites the poopy i9000 image and replaces it with a red voodoo anvanced screen. so instead of seeing the sght959d then i9000, it says sgh t959d then advanced voodoo then nexus x boot. looks sweet
[Fascinate General] daoom:
Not quite "mint" from your own description.

These are some of the problems I had running kernels / Roms meant for other phones, are you experiencing any of the same?

1- Reversed volume buttons

2- GPS not working (as in won't even start)

3-No FM radio

4- Plugging in the USB cable caused the phone to go into a shutdown/boot loop
[Fascinate General] wwowz:
GREAT NEWS!!! FINALLY!

Tho.. since Im noob in this world.. Im going to wait a little more until we find suitable (i.e. no homekey error stuff :P) and stable!!

Great Great Great GREAT! Thanks LINKSLOVESANDROID!!!!

Please update more and more about your "experiment" :P Hehehe
[Fascinate General] LINKSLOVESANDROID:
i had these same issues while running a vibrant kernel. install a i9000 kernel. use 1 of the 1s i packaged in the 1st 2 posts. i flashed a i9000 kernel to get clockwork. then used clockwork to flash nero v4.1 which comes with a vibrant kernel in the rom which automatically overwrites your previous i9000 kernel u flashed b4 hand to get clockwork running. i then used odin to flash a i9000 kernel over the vibrant kernel. Then used the telus modem pulled from omegas 2.2 leAK and flashed that over phone in odin Which left my telus fascinate with the following

-1.3 Ghz Overclock / Undervolted Kernel(Thx U Voltage Control) :)

-Advanced Voodoo v666.2 i think.... with voodoo sound and advanced voodoo bootscreen

-Nero v4.1 Gingerbread Looks NICE!!! ;)

-working voice calls and text messages

-3d gaming working mint with overclock

-google maps is working properly- navigation seems to not b able to find location thou i didnt wait long and i was indoors

-fm radio is not there because it was not made 4 i9000s just the t959d but isnt a big deal 4 me cause u need to have the headphones that came with the phone hookedup to use as a antenna. if u dont have those exact heapdhones plugged in, the phone says something like please attach headphones for antenna signal." better to just geta internet streaming radio app

- flashing the i9000 kernel solved the following issues

proper volume rockers configuration

and the charging issue. now charging works fine. the only time i had a issue was when i charged my phone while it was turned off and it needed a battery pull. but then i plugged it back in while off and it worked fine.

basically, the only issue i can see being a problem for some is the no home button just 2 back buttons. but honestly, the android os told me to use back more often then home so it saves system ram and doesnt have too much background apps running.

so basically, if your want a custom rom, the only downside is theres no home button and navigation MAY not work.

on the plus side, your phone will become super fast to the point stock rom is slow. ill b posting a video in the coming days of my rom setup from phone startup to shutdown to PROVE this method works
[Fascinate General] roccos_van:
Another user has asked supercurio to make us a custom kernel, supercurio said in his vibrant kernel thread that he would, but that was a couple of days ago. Please post the vid, this intrests me, I can live with the back and home button problems, but am worried about the usb boot loop.

EDIT: I've just flashed the kernel you suggested. Home acts like back, but everything else seems fine so far. I booted into clockwork and enabled voodoo, plus I also O/C to 1200mghz. When I get home i'm going to plug it into usb and see what happens. Hopefully no bootloop!

OK so I have big market place problems, from what I can gather, the phone is recognized by the market as an i9000, which means I can't get some apps that i've had before...everything works but home...just sucks that the market does not work...will try to fix with market enabler...
[Fascinate General] LINKSLOVESANDROID:
i just noticed it wont lemmie donwload afew games on the market cause of the i9000 kernel. if u find a fix lemmie know..i just stumbled across a 1.6 ghz overclocked kernel. gonna check to see fi thias wqorks
[Fascinate General] roccos_van:
Market is totally f'd up. Tried to fix by:

- go back to stock kernel - no good

- factory reset - no

- clockwork wipe data/cach - no good

- flash a new rom and start fresh - no good

I'm going to ODIN back to complete stock now, and re-root. I would recommend to NOT FLASH this kernel, the market does not work properly. Nothing is there; no rom manager, no sgs anything and your paid apps will be GONE.
[Fascinate General] wwowz:
I'm so glad that this topic is on its way!

A question from a noob tho... Is flashing other ROM kernel is the only way we can have custom ROMS?

Why can't we have our own?? :((
[Fascinate General] cowvun:
If you can post up a video so i can check out what you've posted, i would be willing to help out and find solutions for some of the problems at hand.

Right now i'm alittle wary about this.
[Fascinate General] roccos_van:
There are two problems i had:

1. The market is f'd up...i'm on some wierd test market and can't get access to my paid apps, or any other apps for that matter, only test apps. See here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=878181&page=5 and here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10736976&postcount=89

2. Home acts like back, which is a big problem since you can't multitask because as you hit back to do the next thing, you will close whatever you were doing before.

Other than those two problems everything worked fine.
[Fascinate General] LINKSLOVESANDROID:
until a developer decides we are a big enough group of users that we deserve our own "hiding spot" we will have to use i9000 kernels to use custom roms. rumor has it the creator of voodoo supercurio is developing a kernel for our phones which will lead to custom roms. until then, i9000 kernels r the way togo. i have a i9000 advanced voodoo kernel overclocked at 1.28 ghz and undervolted to save battery running a vibrant custom rom called nero v5 which basically skinned the entire setup to look like gingerbread and got rid of the samsung bloatware. honestly, even after we have our own custom kernel ill b sticking with i9000 kernels. just because development has been rediculously slow with the telus t959d fascinate. its taken this long b4 a kernel was even thought about. until it has its own development team creating new roms like every other sgs model on a weekly basis, i9000 wuill have the go ahead. i9000 kernels can run i9000 roms and vibrant roms. and there development communitys are huge! try the above method using custom i9000 kernel. the only issue is theres no home button and afew apps wont download because it thibnks your ussing a i9000. only app i notcied was that 3d mmorpg wont download. i cant remember the name of it. but other then that its great. i got psx4droid running final fantasy 9 overclocked with voodoo. runs MINT!!!! ill gladly walk u through the entire process over msn or facebook etc. send me a email links2386@gmail.com.

Is there an app that automatically toggles ON/OFF APN data during custom intervals or something like that?

Hi!

I'm a novice in the Android, XDA world...

I recently bought a G3, and after 1 day I had upgraded to Froyo.

But I'm having some troubles with proxy...

At my home, I don't need it, so everything works fine using my wifi connection.

But at work, I configure the proxy and Web Brower, Navigation, and others apps keeps working.

OTHO, some apps can't connect (eg. market, maps, rom gripper, etc).

Anybody knows where I can configure the default way of general apps connect to internet?

TKS.
[Galaxy 3 General] mizch:
The proxy probably filters your traffic and blocks it on not well-known ports. You should ask its administrator for details on what kind of traffic it allows (if that is feasible).
[Galaxy 3 General] nathan.lopes:
The proxy only allows connections on port 3128.

Do you think that some apps just woks with port 80?

And, if that's the case, anybody knows how to change it?

TKS
[Galaxy 3 General] stubborn_d0nkey:
^i thikn itd be easier to use a different proxy than change app ports, but im not sure
[Galaxy 3 General] nathan.lopes:
I guess you're talking about use some app that changes the proxy address for all, include apps...

I'm using native G3 proxy settings. I tried connect using proxy with other apps but anyone did it for me, just the android's stock.

I need a file on system that allows me to change the connection configurations (I mean... I think I need it! :P )
[Galaxy 3 General] akash.gpta:
Hey, Nathan I'm having a similar problem except that only port 8080 is open through proxy.

I am using transproxy to connect to the net.

All apps work except Market downloads and Gtalk dont work.

Did u get a solution ?
[Galaxy 3 General] akash.gpta:
Did this method make all the apps connect through the proxy?
[Galaxy 3 General] nathan.lopes:
I can't do it yet. Here, the port that is open is 3128.

Some apps just bypass the proxy settings.

Even when I let the proxy (configured because my workplace network)configured, market works at my home (where there's no proxy).

But browser and others (that works fine with proxy) don't.

I don't know if this is a built-in app configuration (if it is, the only way is to create a route, using the address called by app, redirecting to the proxy - actually, I thought in that just now! I'll test it later! :D), that is present on Market, Navigation, Maps and others...

Or if this is a system configuration. If it is, all we need is to find where its defined and change that.

No. Using G3 stock's proxy settings, some apps can't connect to the internet.

I'm not a Android or Linux expert... so I need help...

TKS
[Galaxy 3 General] akash.gpta:
how do u configure ur proxy ? some app/or manually redirect ports

At my home (where there's no proxy) which is far away from my university, I'm able to connect all apps to the internet. (I visit my home once in five months or so.)

That's because somebody(as u mentioned) changed the proxy settings,u will have to undo it and they would work again.

I use transproxy to redirect to the proxy and it works a great deal except market downloads and Gtalk

me too. guess we both need help ;)
[Galaxy 3 General] nathan.lopes:
I'm using the native G3 proxy configuration (Settings>Wireless and network>Menu>Advanced>proxy).

Yeah, I know, when I'm at home I remove the proxy addres and everything work again.

That's what I'm trying to solve: Market and others that bypass proxy settings...

TKS
[Galaxy 3 General] akash.gpta:
Keep this thread updated and keep posting your findings :)

Also I found this app "ASProxy" on market, dont know if it works.(I just cant download from the market)
[Galaxy 3 General] nathan.lopes:

I was trying to start market by command line, adding parameters... (Maybe its not the easiest way, but at least I'm learning a lot! :))
