So I have been researching what properties in the build.prop affect the market... I did a wireshark capture and sniffed all the packets flowing while starting the market.

So far what I have found is fingerprint is not the only piece of information that dictates what you see in the market. But also ro.build.id and ro.product.device OR ro.product.name - essentially makes up the User Agent.

I have also noticed that the stream of data is encrypted so unfortunately I can not see the payload information which I suspect are other pieces of information.

I have validated the first point by changing ro.build.id and confirmed that what was in the market changed +or-.

Figured I would share some findings... Will post some more as I find out anything..

Hi guys,

I have been running Fresh since I first rooted my phone months and months ago. I would say, that on average, I would get high 1400s to low 1500s in quadrant with either net's or king's kernels. Lately, however, as I was finding time to update the benchmarks on my sig, I found that my quadrants are landing at about 1100s. I don't remember them being that low with net's 4.3.1 kernel and below. Anyone else having issues with his latest (4.3.2) kernels? Everything other than the low quadrants are fine; including fps2d and linpack.

Also, I tried CFS and BFS with the same results.

Any ideas?!

Thanks in advance...
[EVO 4G General] -viperboy-:
Quadrant tests don't mean ****. Does your phone run OK? If it does, don't even worry about it.
[EVO 4G General] jstalford:
Did you upgrade you Quadrant? The new one reports lower scores.
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
Indeed! That might be it. How come it reports lower now? Shouldn't they have adjusted the other phones listed as well then?!
[EVO 4G General] jstalford:
I can't remember exactly, but I think they fixed something that was causing scores to be falsely reported as higher than they actually were. Not sure why they didn't adjust the scores in the graph, maybe they were unaffected by whatever was fixed?
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
Well, anyone else experiencing the same thing? Lower quadrants?!
[EVO 4G General] brokentoaster24:
unless you love stroking your ego, these scores mean nothing. as long as the phone is snappy and responsive for you, don't worry about "lower" scrores
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
Yep I get a lot lower scores on all roms and kernels I use.
[EVO 4G General] Bielinsk:
Just tested on fresh 3.5.0.1 with stock kernel and got 1014.

I couldn't imagine a phone running any smoother than this and I have no need to overclock or tweak or anything. Easily get 16 hours on a charge with moderate use.
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
I understand that it isn't accurate, but it is still the most used method of comparing between and within devices. As long as the 'innacuracy' is constant across the board, what does it matter? It also, somewhats, can give you a glimpse of whether a ROM or kernel is better or worst than others. Which is what I mostly use it for. A 300-400 drop is significant IMHO and I don't feel I'm crazy for inquiring about it.
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
Good to know I'm not the only one. I didn't notice any change in performance on my end too. Just thought the sudden drop was weird.

Thanks!
[EVO 4G General] brokentoaster24:
from my experience, there's tons of things you can do to improve quad scored but do nothing in the realm of real world gains. look up data2ext for serious I/O boosts :P

edit: just for fun, i loaded up the same set up. overclocked and set to performance governor and i get about 1300's

Hi everyone,

I am kind of stuck with getting a custom ROM on my HTC Magic 32B (spl:1.33.0013 radio:2.22.28.25 os:2.2.1ota)

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
There was another person that I was working with having the same problem. For whatever reason we couldn't get the custom recovery to stick no matter what we tried and we ended up stopping with him trying to downgrade to root. I'm not sure where he got. You can try using "flash_image" from terminal, but it probably won't help. Download the attached "Flash_image.zip", unzip the file, and put in on the root of your SD card. Then open up terminal on the phone and type the following hitting enter at the end of each line:

su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image
chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image
mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
flash_image recovery /sdcard/*name of recovery*.img
reboot recovery
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] roodee:
Thanks for your instructions...but it did not work for me.

I kind of gave up on getting my Magic flashed. :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
Did you check to see if there are any scripts that will override the recovery on closure?

Do this:

Pull out the battery when you execution of the flash_image command has succeeded.

This way you can avoid any scripts being executed on turn-off.

Now try to see if you can get the custom recovery to work!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] demoneyes905:
Hm....Adb

Ok you can't "apply sdcard:update.zip" because even though you rooted your phone, you don't have a custom recovery. You have the stock recovery image that comes with your phone. This means that every zip you try to "apply" or flash will automatically be checked for a signature (to make sure its a valid update from the manufacturer). Since the ROMs usually don't have signatures, it won't work

Never mind about finding out the ROM. since you have a stock recovery, it looks like you haven't put any custom ROM on it. you are running the stock android OS that came with the phone.

It seems your OS got messed up when you tried to root the phone. The One Click root method you used I believe wasn't fully compatible with your phone. You should have used "Universal Root." Anyway, Give me a day or two. I will see If I can find you an official zip belonging to your manufacturer. THAT you can push back onto your phone and get your OS back and in working order.

Cheers!

P.S: Check if there is an option in recovery mode called "Toggle Signature verification" I doubt it but if there is it would DEFINITELY help you.

2. official update.zip can fix your problem.

You can't do anything(but your mobile company can help you)

2. If USB Debugging is disable

[Fascinate General] antonius66:
Is there a way to get the phone to send/receive/reply to texts when you have a contact with *82 at the beginning of it? For blocked numbers, when I want to call friends/family, I have *82 in the contact so it unblocks when I call them. However, I have to have a seperate contact entry without *82 to send texts to them, and often when they reply, even if I sent the original text to the NON *82 entry, the phone adds *82 back to the number so I cannot reply.

Now, I had a Motorola four years ago that sent and received texts WITH *82 built it and ignored it. It had no issues. It just ignored the *82 for text message purposes. I wonder, is there a way to alter the software or perhaps an app that could be written to make it so the Fascinate just ignores *82 at the beginning of a phone number for text messages only? If Motorola could do it 4 years ago, I am not sure why Samsung is incapable. My last Samsung U810 had the same problem as well, although it did NOT re-add the *82 to replies.

Hi

When I set the lcd density from 240 to 200, everything looks great, except the notification bar. The icons are very fuzzy and blurred, maybe CM7 got some problems with scaling them.

In the build.prop, next to the line qemu.sf.lcd_density=200, there's a command on something called debug.fb.rgb565=0, try deleting it.. i remember last time, when i haven't delete it, causes me some graphical issues.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shyv:
well, I just tried it with having this line deleted. My phone got stuck in bootloop then :/

(Note: I had to push the build.prop with ADB on my phone, first I tried to do it on my phone with RootExplorer, I dont know why it didnt work then. I could change the file, but after reboot it was set back to normal again.)

Edit: OK maybe I just made something wrong, I did it again with the RootExplorer method, and the line "debug.fb.rgb565=0" is now gone, but i left the space there. Still no improvements, density is on 200 now :( Might it be CM7 that I'm using?

Increase the lcd density to 200 resolve the problem while still maintaining to look good.. No fuzzy or blurred..

Maybe yours it's no compatible to 200 like mine on 160.. Maybe the hardware itself, i don't know.. Try 210, or 220..

Is there a solution to get around this problem?

I´m using latest CM7 nightly build #30.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] truc007:
I tried it once and same result for me.

Just use rootexplorer to edit the file and change the density.

Or use adb to "pull" then modify the file and "push" it back:

adb pull /system/build.prop

modify with txt editor

adb push build.prop /system/

Next time use 7zip to modify the files before flashing the ROM.

I alway modify /system/build.prop for the lcd size and /system/etc/gps.conf for time servers before flashing.

but im not sure how to use adb.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yazayad:
Really, this is very easy to do on the phone, without any extra applications. Just use a file explorer with root access (like root explorer), navigate to /system/, open your build.prop file, modify the density line (ro.sf.lcd_density=xxx) to whatever you want and reboot. 190 is working nicely for me (nightly 30/CleanDHD).
