[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amfetamine:
Well yeah. Most Froyo roms are 710Mhz by default, GSB is 578Mhz.

So just clock for clock, its slower.

But no one installs a custom rom only to leave it at default. Tweak man, tweak! Leave no setting unturned.

For comparison sake, install an early version of Kaos gingerbread.

Or compare an early Froyo.

What alot of people are excited about is, as a 3rd release of a brand new rom, it should be practically unusable. But its totally stable and smooth enough for an everyday OS.

I find performs better than Froyo in most every way. There's room for improvements and bugs to fix, but CM7 has been out on the Eris for less than a week. And the. CM team is a ways away from an official stable release.

We are using an experimental release of an experimental release on hardware that is not supported. It's pretty dam impressive!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hungry Man:
It's probably the fact that when new roms are released here members always say "this is the fastest rom ever"

KFroyo had the same responses even though until about rev21 it was pretty slow and buggy.

You're just immune to the placebo.

As for waiting. Yes. Wait. I'm not flashing any CM7 ROMs for a few more releases because I'll just end up wiping between every update and it's not worth using right now anyway.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
LOL

And usually within only the first hour of using it.

Same thing with flashing radios - "OMG, I can't believe how much better my signal is." (Not.)

Well, it's the internet; it is what it is. Come one, come all.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C.Hatfield:
strayed from the path, master ;)

I agree with your choice b/c it was my choice, too ... but when WiFi got working I caved & I spent the better of an entire day trying to figure out issues that the dev is not having, nor can he replicate them ... lol !! I am kicking myself for straying from my usual zen-like approach to the 'HOT, FRESH, NEW, BETTER, FASTER, SMOOTHER, SNAPPIER' (ad nauseum) ROM, but CM7 was different (to me) - I got anxious to try it, to see what those CyMod geniuses have worked so hard on .... annnd now I am returning to a SUPER-STABLE FROYO ROM ... for the time being ..... LOL :D
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacksenechal:
Word. Totally agree!

Haha yeah, that's me too :) Back to Nonsensikal 16.1 (so fast!!!) for the time being. I'm psyched to check out GSB again in a few weeks though, as I was extremely impressed over all!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trancexronik:
I only find the Home Screens' loading the gadgets slowly, the rest of the interface is amazingly stabled and fast for 1.2 release.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stonent:
1.2 Seriously?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhistlingDog:
So I'll take a stab... while the earlier comments are valid (placebo effect by those trying new ROMs) I have to say GSB feels significantly quicker to me that the 2.1 ROM I was running.

You need to let a ROM settle down before knowing how responsive it is. I usually use it for an hour or two, then reboot. After a reboot or two, all seems settled down, the apps re-downloaded and installed, the links all set up and so forth. So if you're interested in trying gingerbread, install GSB (now version 2.1) and use it for several days at least before making a judgment.

Eris running GSBv2.1
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildstang83:
If you can do without the animations I would say just turn those off and cut your home screens down to three. Personally when I had an Eris I only ever had one screen. And I only ever had one widget which was my weather and toggle flip clock. Also I noticed that if I ever did kick the CPU past 604 it would get a bit laggy. Shed told you in the OP his Rom was optimized for 604. Basically I've noticed with these GB roms is if you don't need it or ain't gonna use it then turn it off or remove it. Obviously you know, YOU know, lol that no Rom will be quick out the box. You gotta give them time and restart a couple of times to get everything leveled out.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] purplxhaze420:
Any dev on here ever considered modifying the TORCH app with the strobe to make the camera LED strobe on incoming call.. or flash every minute or so for a notofication??? Ive done this before with a .pat file for a z3 rizr, but not to familiar with doing something like this for android. Thoughts? Comments??
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nitemare3219:
I think LEDmeknow might be the app that does the flashing on calls, I know I read about it a few months ago.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] purplxhaze420:
Tried that app. Kind of cool how it makes the main menu home button back button flash along with the trackpad -- but does NOT make camera LED flash. Thanks for pointing me in the direction of that app.

[Touch HD General] praveen5344:
Is there any way to reset the call timer i.e the incomming and outgoing call timer........Even flashing the ROM did not work for the , the call timer was the same it did not reset.

There are methods to reset call timer for other HTC phones, I've tried them on my blackstone but it did not work for me.

Can someone please post a method to solve my problem.......
[Touch HD General] Hakim Rahman:
try with this to reset the call timers or call history

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winteum:
I'm wondering today what to do:

To sell my Nexus S and do not waste my time or to wait for google to fix the bugs.

I'm very disappointed with Nexus S and Gingerbread but maybe in near future if google will fix the problems I would regret if I have had selled my phone.

What to do?

I can't live with:

1) The freezes when pressing home button or back button.

2) Losting cell signal and 3g frequently.

3) Level of sound and speaker.

4) Market lags

5) Browser performance.

6) Gps slow or not fix.

Please help me with that question.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zardos66:
Swap it for another one? I've never had any of those issues.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marsrogers:
Trust me bro, don't sell it. Nexus S will watch the evolution of google android.

By the way, I've got all your problems.

What's worse, I am a Chinese...I can't even use the navigation nor pay for an app in the market cuz it just display free apps in China...The wifi signal is too weak...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winteum:
I agree the wifi is too weak.

I'm wondering if most of our problems with Nexus S is not Google fault but samsung.

In Google I trust they looking for fix the problems but Samsung I don't know.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
1) i don't have that, use a good launcher

2) hmm... this one is random, it's the nature of the AWS 1700+2100 frequency, no much you can do about that, it's the tower service

3) no problem, and i blast my surround sound in my car

4) Market delay are due the sync between phone and your market account to see if there are updated apps, you can turn off that option

5) be more specific about this topic, browser works fine, unless you point out what exactly is what you find slow

6) GPS is perfect, no issues at all, try other GPS software perhaps?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
Sell it and don't look back.

Sent from my SubCyan CM7 Google Nexus S!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexcinci:
Dude, I would say to be patience.

1. I never had those although I had my homescreens acting very slow. Restar launcher and everything was ok... or install another launcher

2. here, with TIM, is normal.. about 3G, as I said on pm , cant say, still dont have data plan :x

3. I thought the same at the first weeks, but now is good for me. What I didnt like was the sound quality...

4.dont have this issue

5. browser could be better but comparing to my old phone, its lightining fast

6. I dont know, some have this issue, some not... for me its fine

Cara, da mais um tempo pro pessoal da google. Eu acho que ateh o 2.3.4 a maioria dos bugs vao ser eliminada. Nao tenho intencao de vender o meu... embora de pra fazer uma graninha, neh? Digamos que fiquei meio decepcionado mas ao mesmo tempo contente com o aparelho.

Sound like issues with a Galaxy S phone, but after switching to the Nexus, I haven't really had any of those issues.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gogol:
1) The freezes when pressing home button or back button.

I don't have this issue because I replaced with LauncherPro.

I also got recently some nice settings of LPP to improve the performance.

2) Losting cell signal and 3g frequently.

Weird, I don't have this issue. Probably this is carrier specific?

I am using Vodafone NL :P

3) Level of sound and speaker.

I might agree, the speaker is not that loud compared to my old HTC Desire.

4) Market lags

??? No idea, I think this is because your internet connection is slow :P

5) Browser performance.

Android 2.3.2 improved the browser performance a bit (noticeable).

And I am using Dolphin Mini :)

6) Gps slow or not fix.

I don't have this issue as well. Sometimes it could take 1 or 2 minutes, depends on the weather itself (cloudy, etc.).

Sometimes, you need to RESTART the navigation app!!!!

Yupe, I found this more than once. I started Sygic Aura and it just cannot get GPS fix. Then I close the app, immediately start the app again, boom! GPS fixed immediately :)

Hope this helps !

SGS is used as a phone, has a sim in it. Tab does not have a sim and doesnt need one since its used as WiFi only.

My question is can i use Tab as a dialling/speakerphone device via bluetooth ? Curiosity mostly, but i would use the feature if its possible.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FanaticWear:
Hi,

I have an oportunity to buy Desire for a very good price from my relative but with some kind of a problem and I would like to find out what it is...

The problem is that the display light do not want to turn off even if the settings says that the light should shut down in 15 seconds. Because of that the battery life is shorter.

So...anybody knows where the problem is? Is that a hardware or software issue?

Software issue. The screen turns off when you turn it off by power button (quick press only) right? You should terminate every running application/service on your phone because one of them is most likely keeping your display on.

Hey guys,

Im really sorry to bother you with this and I bet there has been plenty of threads about this, but Im still clueless.

I got a few files with the ending .apk.jar and for the life of me I can't get them installed. I found this site where you can get an apk from a jar or jad file, but I didn't quite understand how that should work.

And the Java runtime thingy seems to have been taken off the market.

Can anyone tell me how to install these kinds of files? I stumble over them again and again but their kind of useless to me :(

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] xandermac:
This is probably a daft question but the TmoUS HD2 has 1gb ROM, so when we create partitions for CWR why dont we use the entire 1gb? It has an additional 500+mb of RAM to allow everything to run smoothly. What am I missing here? Why is 400mb the recommended size? Doesnt that just leave 600mb going to waste?

Thanks for any clarification.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ClydeB1:
It may not necessarily be daft, but it certainly is in the wrong forum.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rafpigna:
You are completely not understanding how things works, you are messing ram with rom, you are messing cwr partitions with sd partitions..you are messing system partition with userdata partition.. summarizing: you are doing so much confusion that you will dont know also your name in some minutes :D

And, btw, wrong section.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rafpigna:
btw I'm in a kind mood today:

When you flash CWR, all your availabe ROM will be used for data storage. The "400mb thing" is just for system partition, where the build will be stored

If you se a build that uses SD to store data, your availabel ROM is wasted also if you still need to use the 400mb thing (or less if the build is smaller)

Your RAM are never touched from those things.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] xandermac:
First, not sure why this is the wrong section as it directly related to NAND/CWR, but thank for the psudo moderation.

Rafpinga: I'm not concerned with SD partitions, Don't use them as I have no need, but i gather the gist of your answer is that my 400mb ROM partition is strictly for the system (OS files) and the remainder of the 1gb will be used for data? That makes more sense.

So I basically have 1gb of ROM (700 something formatted), 400 is used for system/OS and the remaining 300 something is available for apps etc..?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] xandermac:
Ok, I thought I had my answer but apparently not. How am I confusing NAND and SD partitions? I don't use SD partitions at all? I use NAND partitions only as far as I can tell. What did I miss? I didn't even mention SD partitions in my OP.

I have a 400mb System partition, which is on NAND, the remainder of my NAND is used for data correct? My SD card is irrelevant to this setup correct? I don't even need an SD card inserted for my setup to work...

If i'm confusing the two perhaps someone would explain how rather than just *****ing about the thread!.... If it's in the wrong place I'm sorry and I'm sure it'll get rightfully moved but that shouldnt negate trying to get an answer.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MagikWorx:
OK, you're all over the map, but lets do the quick rundown.

A partition is a chunk of named memory-space. aka c: in windows or the swap file in linux.

SD cards and internal ROM are essentially hard disks that can be written to. The ROM needs to be flashed, while the SD cards internally flash too. What you can do is partition either of them and name the partition. You can also choose the filesystem that a particular partition uses. Internal ROM for android needs to be partitioned into a proper linux filesystem with proper formatting to operate. One of the partitions is userspace, another is "system". SD partitions are extensions to the linux operating system and as such should not be considered "bad". Really, the more memory the better.

Random Access Memory (RAM), i believe some type of DDR in this phone, is a volatile memory that clears upon restart. It's only used during normal operation and never stores your Android.

Read-Only Memory (ROM) is NAND in this case. There is a large misnomer on these forums about NAND. They meant to call it Internal NAND. ROM, the 1gb, is where ALL operating system files are stored. You flash the bootstraps and system partitions once, then all your stuff is stored in a separate portion of the ROM.

NAND is the storage technology used to manufacture most consumer read-only memory(ROM). SD cards and the internal memory both use NAND type memory, the difference between the two is the bus speed between the internal NAND and the CPU.

On the TMOUS HD2, there is 1,000mb of space in the ROM. A 400mb system partition would leave 600mb for things like the swap file and the user data portion. In some cases, ie EU version, a 400mb system partition would eat the ~500mb available ROM, so developers figured out a way to partition the SD card and effectively expand the ~500mb to 1,000mb and beyond. APP2SD+ was the final solution.

The TMOUS when partitioned properly will have a huge amount of headroom for the Android to excel. Nothing really goes to waste as long as you use a TMOUS compatible ROM.

Next time, ask in the right forum and you'll get the answer you wanted without all the hassle.

Hello,

Running Darky's 9.2 with HardcoreSpeedmod kernel on froyo 2.2 JLK, I have completed the battery calibrate and changed my file format to ext4. Everything appeared to be fine until after I rebooted from CWM.

I get the Nexus fireworks splash screen and it sits there for about an hour followed by 1 vibrate then few minutes later a series of vibrates then 1 vibrate etc...

I boot into recovery mode and do a reset and it's fine. So I thought...

I try to access the app market and it says "Application is not installed on your phone"

Is my phone about to be bricked, or is there some files that have just got corrupted?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
or is there some files that have just got corrupted?

If you install a rom and something breaks 3 routes to look at .

One bad flash = reflash

Two bad flash due to something left behind on the system = wipe and clean flash

Three Error prone rom or built in problem bug etc = Use another rom

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rashar:
Yes... hopefully it is just corrupted files and a simple factory reset will do it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thug_life_inc:
I am afraid not. When my market starts not to install apps, hard reset does not fix the problem - you should re-partition with stock ROM trough ODIN and then apply Darky's ROM.

[EVO 4G General] cordell12:
So I have my 1 year upgrade on March 1st, I bought a Optimus S to use so I could hang on to my upgrade, but with no good announcement on Feb 7th I think I will go ahead and get me a Evo. If a new dual core phone comes out in the summer by the time I upgrade again (premier gold, 10 years) that dual core will have some good development going on, like the Evo now. I have heard quite a few things about the launch Evo and another Evo they made, diff hardware or something. Some kernels work, some dont, a bit confusing. Can someone please give a quick break down of what a Evo purchased today can do development wise, kernels/clock speeds, roms, wimax hacks, cm7, all the good stuff! If todays Evo is highly limited maybe holding on to that upgrade would be the better choice. I dont care for the Evo Shift, looks odd to me. To much space on the bottom of the phone. I played with a Epic yesterday, nice screen, but phone felt "cheap".

Thanks
[EVO 4G General] brnail:
I think one could probably get a pretty clear indication of the what the EVO is capable of by reading just a little bit, so I am not going to recap BUT I will say this. I have always been one to anxiously await the latest and greatest phone until I purchased my Lauch Day EVO. It really is quite good.

If I were you, with a March 1 upgrade, I would wait a few weeks until CTIA to see what gets announced and then make my decision. At least you might have a clearer understanding of what might be coming around the corner.
