Hi all,

I am a brand new N1 owner as of this evening, the one I got already has the bootloader unlocked, but is there a way to root 2.2.2 on a mac? I have tried SuperOneClick running in Mono but it keeps saying "failed"

any tips?
[Nexus One General] sknoslo:
If the bootloader is already unlocked you might as well just flash a custom recovery and then a pre-rooted ROM. Check the cyanogenmod wiki or the many tutorials around XDA.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palomosan:
Hi guys, need some help if possible.

My phone is stuck on the bootloader screen and the up and down buttons are not working so I can choose the option to reboot the phone.

1- I was running MIUI for a while now and I was just listening to Music and suddenly the phone just rebooted and got stuck on the bootloader screen, this is what I tried so far, any help will be appreciated.

2- I tried removing the battery and booting into recovery and the Up and Down button still don't work so I couldn't pick up the option to reboot phone.

3- I ran the PB31IMG Stock zip to go back to stock and after doing the update when is time for the phone to reboot, instead of rebooting it goes back to the bootloader.

Thanks in advance.

If anybody know the command for the SDK to reboot the phone, I think that'll help too.

Guys thanks, I took my phone to Verizon to get a replacement since the phone was Bricked but after I order my replacement the freaking phone turned on again, now I have a choice to make, keep my original phone or keep the Refurbished one they're sending me, thanks again.

I did have S-off.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
Well most likely the one you got sent to you is an SLCD model, and you probably have an AMOLED. IMO I would keep the AMOLED, but i'm not sure that you can keep it. I think you have to send in your original.

And since you can turn it on, make sure to flash S-ON and flash it back to stock.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palomosan:
Thanks, I already flash the phone back to stock, I think the rep said I'll be getting the same phone with the AMOLED screen since that's what I got, we'll see when I get the phone tomorrow.

In the mean I'm gonna play with the original one, rooted again and see what happens after I install another Rom.
[Captivate General] MadeInMex4usa:
Does anyone know how I can get the feeds and updateds widget and apk file for my phone? I have the captivate using a ULTIMATE Rom I like the rom(thanks) and I would like this app back if I could :(
[Captivate General] 10tonhammr:
The Feeds and Updates widget is dependent on touchwiz. Most people are trying to get as far away from touchwiz as possible, so I don't think anyone has bothered trying to port it over to any of the custom roms. Pure Messenger widget and Launcher Pro Plus Friends widget are comparable substitutes available in the market.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] trimeijer:
I want to play around with Android and see if I can port apks.

I was always curious about motoblur and I want to try it (I have the droidx motoblur). I tried installing BlurHome.apk on an Evo using adb and logcat and it says I am missing the "xyz library" so I look in the framework and found the xyz.jar fill and pushed it to my phone. Then I did a dalvik wipe and a reboot. When I watch the reboot on logcat I see it says it is loading the "xyz.jar" file but when I try and install the apk again, it tells me it can't find "xyz library"

I used apktool to decrypt it and look at the manifest and found a library use tag telling me the xyz.jar is needed. I also see a bunch of permissions pulled from apks I do no hqve installed. Do I need to worry about those too. I know the program with crash when trying to access them, but right now I just want to get it installed to see if it will work.

Sorry I called the library xyz, I'm trying this on my phone.

Any help pointing mie to an article, guide or tutorial about porting or frameworks would be appreciated. I'll end up putting something nice together if I ever figure it out to make it easier for others to figure this out too, or at least understand what is going on when they install a ported apk.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] trimeijer:
I think I'm on the right path here. I just opened the com.motorola.blur.library.utilities.jar file from the framework (the one that it said didn't exist), copied all the code to the BlurHome.apk and rebuilt it. It installed, but didnt appear in the phone or the app drawer. Then I pushed it to the system/app folder and it force closes on start up! (yay in the right direction)

I wish I could just use the framework.jar's but not sure how to get those to work. There are a few things referenced in the com.motorola.blur.library.utilities.jar that are in other com.motorola.blur.*.jar's so i need to go digging and try to inject those aswell.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] michaelvibe:
I have been trying forever to get the contacts on my phone (synced to my google account ) to sync up with my facebook friends. It will only sync a select few for whatever reason I cannot find. Any tips?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] skylar.sutton:
I had to manually associate each Google Contact with the correct Facebook contact. I did it through the built in "People" application.

If memory serves correct, you open a contact in "People" and it should show a broken link icon. Click on that and you can select the correct FB contact. After you select the FB contact the link icon changes to a "connected link" icon.

From there it should auto update status and pictures accordingly.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] michaelvibe:
Ah I am using an AOSP rom so that might have something to do with it.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] burshturs:
I am not the developer of this app. I am not a developer either, I am just an experienced user and just found an application that maight be usefull for our X10's.

Sysctl Config, It can be downloaded from the market.

With the appropiate settings, this app can improve performance and battery life. What it does is that it modifies certain kernel parameters related to virtual memory management.

This appication is only intended for advanced users and there is very little documentation on which are the best settings. I personally noticed a performance boost and now the phone is a lot more responsive, the scrolling is smother and it boots up a lot faster.

You should also notice a boost in 3d performance, specially runing high end games, such as asphalt 5 and avatar.

Probably the settings I used improved performance at battery life cost, but I will need to wait until tomorrow to tell since my battery is almost drained right now anyway and I just plugged it in. I also noticed an increase of my quadrant benchmark from around 1300 to over 1500.

After testing for about 3 months, these are the settings I found work best for me:

min free kbytes: 32568

dirty ratio: 5

dirty background ratio: 3

vfs cache pressure: 0

Oom allocating task: Enabled

For some, setting vfs cache pressure to 0 is risky. I can confirm that this setting was causing ramdom reboots on heavy usage, however, I enabled compache using spare parts app posted in this link and the issue went away:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=12310102

BTW I am using CM 6.1.1 ROM.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] creage:
Well, I think such detailed settings is kind of overkill for devices like phones. I'm not sure you could gain much performance, but it worst a try :)

BTW http://www.linuxinsight.com/proc_sys_vm_hierarchy.html here you could have more explained features that this app provides.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] burshturs:
I saw the app in a forum about the G1. I havr no doubt that my phone is more responsive now, but im not sure how this is affectijg my battery.

What settings would you recommend?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Farik335:
Hey, can anybody post this program download link here? For some reason, i can't download it from market
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] burshturs:
maybe you made a typo. type sysctl and it show be the first result.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Farik335:
Oh, thank you, i'm so stupid. Let's see what we have there...
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] rvictorg:
This seems really promising. I used the settings posted by the OP and definitely noticed a performance improvement. I too have very little knowledge about the best settings to use for our X10s and would appreciate some insight by someone does :D I'm tentative to really modify any of the settings out of fear of doing irreversible damage...if that's even possible.

Hopefully as more of us become aware of this application we'll collectively be able to find the optimal settings! Btw, anyone know the default X10 settings for this app??
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] setaseti:
hm the settings from the op drops the linpack score from 34 to 30mflops.

maybe we should play with these settings.

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] javagreen:
The X10 probably has a BFS kernel which means *some* sysctl commands would NOT execute on our phones.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] burshturs:
I think defaults were 2048, 95, 60, 50 and enabled, respectively.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] burshturs:
Try linpack twice in a row. Make sure it loaded the ads before trying. Also try quadrant, make sure u run twice when benchmarking since this will allow the OS to kill some background tasks so the second time should be a little higher.

Im getting linpak 34.96 and quadrant 1565.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] burshturs:
I suspect the settings are applied since the values remain the same after rebooting. However i am not sure if this proves anything.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] javagreen:
I was actually talking about a few settings I found in one of the pages I linked earlier.

I've used the sysctl app myself and using the exact same values as you are. I feel the phone's 3d performance has taken a hit - let me keep it ON for a couple days and see how it progresses.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] burshturs:
Have you notice a difference in battery life? I cant say if it has improved or worsen it.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] burshturs:
I did see other configurations that could be changed (or not). You can find them in /proc/sys/vm, however I am not sure how to edit such files without a gui, I guess maybe a hex editir would open it, but I would need to try it first.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] javagreen:
I just enabled it a couple hours ago - it's too early to form an opinion, which is why I said i'm planning to keep the settings for atleast 2 days and see how it goes.

Assuming you're rooted, you can use Ghost Commander from the market and use it's inbuilt editor to edit files + save them from within the GUI. Personally, i'd refrain from dabbling with more critical values without full knowledge of what I'm doing.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] javagreen:
^Cheers :)

Actually, I'm thinking of moving up to Z's 2.2.1 B3 as of now. Should I just go ahead? Just asking 'cause you are running it - is it good enough for everyday use by now?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] rvictorg:
Personally my battery life has decreased, by how much is hard to say exactly because I've been a little heavier on my phone today than usual. At this point in the day my battery life is expected to be about 10 more hours and right now it's only reading 4--using the juice plotter app.

The phone does seem to be more responsive though and if I can still get through a whole day of moderately heavy use I'm happy.

Again, hopefully other more knowledgeable people here can post optimal settings for our X10s

*UPDATE* Yeah the settings in the OP definitely kill my battery a lot faster. The phone is more responsive for sure, but at the expense of battery performance. I'm running 2.1 Eternity ROM, dual touch, etc etc if that concerns anybody. I think I'll switch back to the default settings and uninstall this app because my battery life is honestly close to half of what it normally would be, I'm surprised no one else has noticed an impact?? :S
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] burshturs:
It works ok. Just the issues listed in the thread but nothing mayor. It rebooted the phone a couple of tines after installation but it hasnt done it again.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Crowds:
my perssonal opinion on this app? without cracking bootloader?

urban myth

i`ve try it just to be sure on 2.1 stock, 2.1 mod by me, 2.2 & 2.3 android versions. the result? almost the same
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] burshturs:
Not sure how you tried it. Everybody else has experienced a noticeable performance boost. Anyway, I didn't get your point about the bootloader not being cracked. Whad do you mean?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] FelipeRRM:
This sounds interesting. As soon as my x10 gets back from rapair I'll try this.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Cebees:
I'm quite skeptical and my life relies on numbers. For me, If someone install this program on your device without telling you what it is, I believe, you will not notice the change.

It's not quite significant. But I also don't believe in Linpack or Quadrant since those are about raw performance. and IMO those settings ain't likely related with 'raw performance' at all.

Since there were many people claim that they felt in the same way then it could really change to 'some' part of GUI interaction. (Mostly memory caching?)

Can you guys explain what exactly improved? Here's some guide ..

> Load time (2 sec vs 5 sec?)

> Less period of 'choppiness' after opening some apps

> Switching through 10 apps without lagging (instead of 2?)

> The screen is much more sticky to the finger?

> Telling a certain apps you discover the change would be nice for the rest.

Without those stuff, even it DOES improve your device, you will not able to optimize it.

PS. Since I believe it's not about raw-performance, the battery should NOT directly affect. And since it's likely about interaction state rather than idle state, I'm quite sure no one will notice the battery impact. :)

Edit : Oh yeah, forgot to mention that I also felt it ;) just dun know where it was. LOL
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] burshturs:
This is what i can tell you, and i am still running the app since the day i posted this thread:

1. Faster boot.

2. Better scrolling. The screen sticks to the finger better than ever.

3. Programs open faster.

4. Games take a lot less to load between scenes.

5. Phone is more responsive.

I have seen a lot of improvement in 3d gaming, i used to get some lags in asphalt, krazy kart, cruzade of destiny, hero of sparta. Now the lag is gone.

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] SErooted:
i have made some great progress on my settings. however the only thing increasing with my settings is quad scores. I/O speeds are high but i have lost on mflops. has lagged a little bit but ive had a chopped install of all files and roms. going to do fresh install of rom, packages. will let you know what i come up. screen is lag right now too but like i said. i might have a few system errors which i hope will clear up with a fresh install of everything.

as is if you want performance these are my settings

min. 100000

dirty 50000

dirty background 20000

vfs cache 10

screen shot. quad. mflops... emberassing 34-

P.S. higher settings from what i notice bring faster quad scores but battery loss.

lower scores. battery saving slower than a snail in molasses

Guys, you must be crazy setting vfs_cache_pressure to zero. Think(read?) twice before applying it.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] fiscidtox:
I'm not going to mess with this and potentially harm my phone as none of you seem to know what you're doing or talking about.. You're just putting in random values.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] burshturs:
What exactly do you mean? I have been using these settings since the day I posted this thread. My phone has never been faster. Give it a try, you'll see :D:D
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] burshturs:
And how could this harm the phone? I am not putting just ramdom values, this is why i tried such values, however, i might be wrong and that is why I am open to suggestions.

I setup the min free kb to a higher value because by putting the vfs cache pressure to zero I am attempting to disable android from flushing ram automatically; so, increasing the min free kb will force the system to maintain at least 16 MB of free ram and avoid a reboot due to an out of memory state.

I configured the dirty ratio and the dirty background ratio to a very low value to force the system to flush data to the disk more frequently which will also contrarest (in my opinion) the effects of setting up the vfs cache pressure to zero.

This however will cause your device to be wrtiting to the NAND more frecuently and result and a higher battery consumption.

Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong. :D:D
