Have a link to the original post so I can see what changes are made? Interested in where the data throttling is taking place within services.jar

How come you can't use this on a themed froyo? Just wondering :)

[Fascinate Android Development] bleeeeeeek:
what if this didnt work? how would we revert back?
[Fascinate Android Development] SeatownGST:
wait a minute, so we wait all this time, and they throttle the default 2.2 package? so that means everyone has to root their phone now, adjust it with this to get the best service?
[Fascinate Android Development] akaine2001:
Yes I want to get this but I just spent 2 hours setting up and playing with flash and making sure everything works, need to know if anyone tried this over nitsu matted blues for the dl30 builds?
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
the theme issue is that most themes contain services.jar edits to change some colors/transparencies, and are also required to add options to the power menu. I would suggest that anyone creating a custom theme or power mod should start with this instead of stock to include this fix, or if the OP could post the source the same changes could be made along with theme changes.
[Fascinate Android Development] rlblosser:

So is it ok to install a theme that was created for dj05 and apply the theme fix for dl09 with froyo if I don't install this bandwidth fix?

Thanks!
[Fascinate Android Development] garywojdan81:
Could this be used with Adrynalyne's DL09 rom with a voodoo kernel?
[Fascinate Android Development] adrynalyne:
No it cannot be used on DL09 and honestly...Verizon doesn't throttle 3G. It literally varies that much between tests and the reality is, placebo effect is most likely what folks are seeing.

GSM providers are likely to be different.
[Fascinate Android Development] miguel11691:
my right now im gettign reads between 879 - 1300 kbps down and 500 - 740 up without this fix.. looks like im not getting capped
[Fascinate Android Development] zachsx:
What do you use to test this
[Fascinate Android Development] scriz:
Couldn't they have "technically" capped a test build to deter people from using it if it were to leak?
[Fascinate Android Development] destroyerbmx:
That sounds like america
[Fascinate Android Development] zachsx:
No need for those kind of comments
[Fascinate Android Development] destroyerbmx:
After installing this I noticed I cant download anything from the market, this might be unrelated to this package but I am not sure what is going on.
[Fascinate Android Development] PJnc284:
I'm guessing the market is having issues right now. I haven't installed the throttle fix and I can't get anything to download from the market either
[Fascinate Android Development] destroyerbmx:
wait...So I can stop hitting my phone, its a problem out of my hands? Ok
[Fascinate Android Development] destroyerbmx:
confirmed through twitter, lot of talk of the market being down right now
[Fascinate Android Development] adrynalyne:
Nah, because then testers couldn't properly evaluate it.
[Fascinate Android Development] adrynalyne:
I'd like to see the source changes for this. Do you have them?

Verizon Fascinate: Official Froyo 2.2 DL30 leak... stock w/ data throttle remover mod.
[Fascinate Android Development] piroko05:
dl09

So I installed this on my Superclean .4 with Non VooDoo Adr 1230 and it got stuck at the Samsung bootloader for 30 minutes before I forced powered down and did a CWM recovery...I have no themes installed and a clean install of the ROM, Kernel, and Modem. Just a word of caution to any of you on Dl09
[Fascinate Android Development] imnuts:
I believe I found the source, see here. Based on some of the posts that I read in that thread, this isn't going to do anything. The mod came from the Epic, and apparently only works on T-Mobile (USA) or Bell (Canada) and does nothing for anyone else. If you experience an increase in data speed, it's likely just a placebo. Will installing this hurt? Probably not, but not installing it doesn't look like it's going to do anything either.

EDIT: First post of that thread is almost verbatim what is in the first post here. Pages 11-13 seem to have most of the useful info on this working/not working.

@GamecockDoc13 'DL30' data throttle remover? I'll be removing the data throttle in my roms, but I'm not aware of there being one in DL30.

about 1 hour ago via web in reply to GamecockDoc13
[Fascinate Android Development] baxtermedic:
The OP clearly states DL30, you are using a 2.2 services.jar on a 2.1 Rom, it is no wonder you are unable to boot.
[Fascinate Android Development] drod2169:
I've heard different from various VZW employee's I know, but this isn't the place for debate, more the place for facts..

My DL speed jumped up ~100-200

Is there an actual difference? Probably not.

Does it hurt, at all, since the Throttle files are cooked in regardless of who the carrier is? No. It doesn't hurt.

And in the event your speed does get throttled.. well, it's disabled now, so no throttling done.

edit:

Also, For anyone else, it clearly states in the thread's title, DL30.. please read the thread :) do not try to flash this on any 2.1 rom (DI01, DJ05, DL09..) or you will not be able to boot.

Is my other post about the mod source and their conclusions on testing invisible?

The speedtest app sucks, honestly. Try using speedtest.net/speedtest in the browser instead.

The speedtest app can be returned to some semblance of normal operation by clearing the app's cache and data, or reinstalling.
[Fascinate Android Development] pkopalek:
If this uses the same trick modifying services.jar that the incredible data throttle remover uses, it may work.
[Fascinate Android Development] SupraLance:
How can anything we do on the phone help if Verizon is monitoring how much data is sent to each phone and throttling the data sent if it goes over a certain amount? We know Verizon monitors our data usage on their end (not relying on the phone to tell them). So unless Verizon accomplishes throttling by sending a message to the phone telling the phone to throttle itself, I don't see how this can help. I sincerely hope I am wrong, but I think we have to hack into Verizon, rather than our phones, to stop this.
[Fascinate Android Development] Daswolven:
Rofl. That's not throttled, that's auto-erotic asphyxiation.
[Fascinate Android Development] TheHunterOfShadows:
I installed it and upon reboot it sat at the vz logo. I restored a backup. Think ill pass on this.
[Fascinate Android Development] shorto85:
Turns out I wasn't throttled... once I got home speeds were back to normal and seem fine today at the office.
[Fascinate Android Development] drod2169:
problem with this is... verizon can still throttle your account/device on the network side. this may prove helpful at times, or it may just all be placebo. i know people are in heaven with it on my Droid X rom, so i figured i'd do the same with the new fascinate froyo leak. whether it helps or not, it doesn't hurt.

by no means is this something that should be sworn by. it just may give an extra push.
[Fascinate Android Development] :
I noticed no difference whatsoever. This definitely doesnt work.
[Fascinate Android Development] imnuts:
I feel that Verizon is to smart about network congestion control to allow end user software to throttle data speeds. It wouldn't do anything because the people they want to throttle most would be the ones that would find a way around it, such as this. I'd say all of their rate control is going to be done on the network side. Will this mod hurt? No, but it's likely doing nothing by installing it either.
[Fascinate Android Development] dalrym05:
I did the throttle remover and it does appear to work on both my incredible and fascinate. Doubled downstream ina decent signal area. And if you say you got stuck at verizon boot screen after doing this. Maybe you didnt give it enough time. Ive given mine 5 minutes at that screen before after applying mods via cwm i dony give up untill 15 minutes
[Fascinate Android Development] chuck670:
this seems to work just fine. i was experiencing some moderate data throttling, but after applying this patch it seems to be gone because my connection is about 10x faster now! :) thanks
[Fascinate Android Development] johnnyv5:
Will this work for EB01 or even needed?

jv
[Fascinate Android Development] cabagekiller:
Is verizon allowed to throttle our data if we did not sign a new contract stating they can? I am curious about this, it seems very deceitful.
[Fascinate Android Development] imnuts:
I'm sure it's in your contract that they can manage their network appropriately to maintain an optimal user experience for all parties. Meaning, they can do whatever they want with your up/down speeds basically, as long as you still have data service.
[Fascinate Android Development] DarthCivicus:
I'm wondering the same!
[Fascinate Android Development] pkopalek:
I wouldn't try this on anything but dl30 unless you know the framework.jar is the same
[Fascinate Android Development] garywojdan81:
Adrynalyne included it in his eb01 sc 2.0/2.1.
[Fascinate Android Development] bleeeeeeek:
Good to hear..thanks!
[Fascinate Android Development] Rich:):
Can anyone reuplolad this?
[Fascinate Android Development] Syn Ack:
Can I give someone my EB01 services.jar and they can tweak this jar file to remove the data throttle? I'd love to spend some time figuring out how to decompile jar files and editing them and recompiling but I've got way too much on my plate right now. I would greatly appreciate this. It would also benefit the folks who are using my theme.
[Fascinate Android Development] adrynalyne:
yeah you can send it to me.

Thank you Adrynalyne. It works PERFECTLY.

cool, some other guy asked for a mirror though lol
[Fascinate Android Development] NuclearEMP:
Does someone mind posting a version for EB01 please?
[Fascinate Android Development] GizmoDroid:
Stock EB01?

Otherwise, if you are running any custom EB01 based roms, all of the ones I'm aware of have already removed these class files.

This throttling thing is way misunderstood by most folks anyway. Not flaming anyone by saying this, but this mod is a pretty sloppy removal of something that isn't actually doing anything anyway.

It's not a secret service that runs in the background, slowing down your internet. It's in the AOSP too, so it's not some sneaky, ninja application that is stealin' yo bits. If you look through the code, you can see that if it were active, it would actually pop up and tell you that you were being throttled.

Sure, I don't see why it needs to be there, but really, if someone is going to remove it, they should probably remove all code that calls it to run too. Since there are still calls to the throttle service, these kinds of errors are silently happening in the background (copied from my logcat):

I am using an EB01 deodexed tar that adrynalyn had posted. Its a stock EB01 as far as I know.
[Fascinate Android Development] GizmoDroid:
Oh, ok. Yeah, it should have the files intact. I don't have a link at this time, but if you have a custom EB01 rom, like superclean or blackhole, or a theme that includes framework.jar/services.jar, you could extract these and drop it into your system/framework/ folder, since these are the file that contains the throttle manager code/service.
[Fascinate Android Development] GizmoDroid:
In case anyone is interested in the technical background of the throttle service, here is a a little taste of what it is:

Grep for "throttle" on the framework folder from decompiled stock EB01

http://pastie.org/1702008

Source code for throttle files from AOSP

http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=pl...e.git&a=search&h=HEAD&st=grep&s=throttle&sr=1

[Captivate General] shawnl01:
I bought the Dungeon Defender game to show off the Captivate and endured the large download process. Besides the inclusion of a large demo of the same game I just purchased. It also contains a folder that appears to be a dedicated graphics set for the Tegra 2.

Does anyone know of a way to use these instead of the ones used by the captivate? I'm guessing it might be slower but it may still be playable. The demo video looks better then my gameplay and I feel like I'm missing something.

How to: Agenda Screen

​

1. Weather Background

2. New Calendar Addon Link

3. CHT Appointments Widget - Slim Header, extended to show three appointments

4. Program freelink to SenseTasks (always goes to main screen with task list and 'New Task' button.

5. CHT Tasks Widget - Slim Header, extended to show four tasks

I use the slim header layout for the Appointments and Tasks widget as the 'Agenda' and 'To Do' text is part of the background. The I added back in the links to give the functionality to access the date picker (Sense Calendar Tab>Month View) and the New Task feature in SenseTasks. I have also used the CHT Transparent Calendar cab attached below which works a treat.

Why a new Calendar link I hear you ask? Well, the problem with the CHT Calendar Tab Link is that it always takes you to whatever view you left he Sense Calendar tab on the last time you were there (so if you were in a specific day it takes you back there). I wanted a link that always took me directly to the date picker (current month) view. So I made another Addon Link which does exactly this.

To get exactly this look you need to edit the text colours in CHTE> Miscellaneous as shown:

The icon I made for the SenseTasks link is attached below. I used JWMD Icon Changer to change the icon.

How to: Media Screen

​

1. BLUE SK-i Skin for CHT Music Widget

2. Music Background (lower section)

3. Program freelinks

This is the easiest screen to set up, although it did take a bit of working out because I couldn't make a background for the whole screen like in the other screens as the music widget is one of the ones that always appears behind any background widget. So I had to skin the music widget background with a straight cutoff at the bottom, then make the music background identical but cut straight across at the top so the two could be placed together on screen to give the impression of one single background!

Just install the music skin cab below which includes the coOkiemusicplayer.lua and mode9 mods to change the text colours. BTW, the album art shown in the screenshot is the No Album Art default image included in the skin cab.

Then add the Music Background and position the two to give the single background effect. Then it is just a case of adding in program freelinks in the lower background section to whatever you like. Mine are from left to right:

Audiobooster

FM Radio

myPlayer

Games folder shortcut (see THIS post for instructions on how to do this)

Bookmark freelink to youtube.com (see the How to: Weather Screen post for instructions on how to add your own icons for bookmarks)
