[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gottria:
So I backed all the boxes except the SD-EXT and I have a backup of my wimax.img. This was done with Amon v2.3 last month. I now have so many flashes I somehow lost my Wimax as I can't get onto the 4g network and Wimax Key checker from the market says I lost my keys. So I restore that backup that has the wimax.img and it restores with no errors except I'm stuck at the boot screen and won't go any farther. Pull the battery and reboot into Amon, wipe the cache and delvik cache and still same problem.

So can I take that wimax.img and move it to another backup folder and restore it from a differant backup?

just bought the beats by dre solos.

you cannot use the control talk for phone calls, but can use the headphone and headset controls for music purposes.

just a lil 411 if anyone was thinking about picking up the beats by dre headphones.
[Vibrant Accessories] briansj:
I love my Grado 325is
[Vibrant Accessories] sahil04:
How much did you pay?
[Vibrant Accessories] Arkasai:
I hope you didn't pay $200 for those headphones, they are known to break with normal use. I would've recommended Grado SR225i's, widely regarded as the best cans in that price range(true of most Grado hardware.) Dont mean to be overly blunt about it but name brand audio like beats by dre and bose never have good price to performance ratios.
[Vibrant Accessories] thegreatcity:
Especially when that name brand is Monster.

Ewwww....

Hi,

I have tried couple of task killer from market and at the end, the problem with all of them is the process gets started on their own again and again. So it seems like the task killer or the process killer is killing just once or temporarily.

My question is :-

Is there any application which can block certain process or application on startup and not let them startup ( untill I do it manually ).

I am aware that titanium backup can freeze the app ( and then u have to defreeze again to make it run )....

Any alternative please ?

Thanks in Advance.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] greg17477:
app killers are not recommended for android. android has a great memory management, so you dont need to worry of running out of ram. taskkillers only slow down your android device. i would even go so far and say, that all task killers are the worst thing out there in the android world. task killers are beyond any logic :/

but if you want to end/kill an app explicitly, try systempanel (lite). there you can manually kill running apps. (of course some of them will start up again, but thats how it should be)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ajsam4u:
Thank you :)

PS: I believe you seriously HATE Task killer ;) ...lol
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheATHEiST:
Sorry but thats just crap.

The whole "taskillers not needed" baloney tends to relate to saving battery not ram. I agree it doesn't really save any battery, well not much anyway but it certainly saves ram.

If I dont have taskiller installed by ram just lowers and lowers and then stays at a certain level. If I have task killer installed and set to autokill etc I can stay at a higher level and thus have more ram, which I personally prefer as programs run quicker/better and I can have more of the programs I want/need running instead of a load I dont.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] greg17477:
ok, as i allready said, task killers are beyond any logic. they might save ram, but what for. it only makes the device slower, because the app has to be reopened, while else it would be still in ram. the memory management is really great. all apps get prioritized and the "important" ones stay opened longer, while others are get closed sooner. i am running tons of stuff on hd2 and never ran out of memory, i guess you neither, and there are allways about 100mb free ram. you can make an experiment, turn on your hd2 in the morning, look what apps are running at startup, dont kill anything, use it like ususall, then in the evening check again what apps are running now, you will see lot of the apps started in the morning are allready closed (free ram about 100mb).

secondly, how the hell should killing and auto reopening apps, which produces massive cpu load, save battery? again it does exactly the opposite, it drains it faster.. ;)

not sure if you know these lists and values of memory management, they are defined in the init.rc (in the initrd file), if you like, you can googlecheck, here is an example:

# Define the oom_adj values for the classes of processes that can be

# killed by the kernel. These are used in ActivityManagerService.

setprop ro.FOREGROUND_APP_ADJ 0

setprop ro.VISIBLE_APP_ADJ 1

setprop ro.SECONDARY_SERVER_ADJ 2

setprop ro.BACKUP_APP_ADJ 2

setprop ro.HOME_APP_ADJ 4

setprop ro.HIDDEN_APP_MIN_ADJ 7

setprop ro.CONTENT_PROVIDER_ADJ 14

setprop ro.EMPTY_APP_ADJ 15

# Define the memory thresholds at which the above process classes will

# be killed. These numbers are in pages (4k).

setprop ro.FOREGROUND_APP_MEM 1536

setprop ro.VISIBLE_APP_MEM 2048

setprop ro.SECONDARY_SERVER_MEM 4096

setprop ro.BACKUP_APP_MEM 4096

setprop ro.HOME_APP_MEM 4096

setprop ro.HIDDEN_APP_MEM 5120

setprop ro.CONTENT_PROVIDER_MEM 5632

setprop ro.EMPTY_APP_MEM 6144
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mattfmartin:
I totally agree with you.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheATHEiST:
Complete and utter bull****.

I have done many tests on this and can tell you that my HD2 runs MUCH better when I have task killer installed. Programs I WANT running load and run much faster when I prioritise them, ie choose to "ignore" them and set auto task killer to Aggressive.

I constantly have about 200MB(ish) free ram rather then 100MB.

In past ive tried using Android without task killer for a few days at a time and found that overall I had much lower performance (espesially on sense roms), Dont get me wrong it was still very useable but you can get much better performance if you auto kill **** what you are not using.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] greg17477:
seriously, back it up with technical info, i dont really care about how you "feel it". feelings arent comparable. you obviously dont know what you talking about.

"..

I constantly have about 200MB(ish) free ram rather then 100MB..." Sense Rom? btw. thats exactly proving my point, how can be the device faster, if it first needs to load the app, instead when its allready loaded? do you have experience with linux systems and memory management? prove me wrong, but dont tell me about feelings, back it up with some technical info.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheATHEiST:
"Technically" your mom says I have a bigger love length then yours!,, fact not opinion.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Agoattamer:
You better go back and do some more testing. There is no way your task killer is adding to your performance. Yeah you can run that task killer and close background apps. But in a few minutes all those background apps have started back up in memory again. So you have to run task killer again. All that is happening is you are wasting battery for a few minutes of free ram.

Only way to free up that ram permanently is to uninstall the app or freeze it with titanium.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] uxu:
How can i freeze an app via Titanium?

Ty,

TheATHEiST might think he is helping others, but sometimes his "help" are quite misleading. The worst part is he thinks he is right all the time when he is just blatantly wrong.

As the title says..

Is there a complete android rom for blackstone? with no disadvantages?

I mean with working-camera, bluetooth.. etc.. fast and stable..

Or we have to wait more??

No there is no complete android rom for blackstone.

The developers are still working on this. See treads about Nand, camera fixes and android kernels

Has anyone tried the new UOT kitchen with CWM 2.5.0.1? I get a script error on attempting to install the zip file. I noticed that the site is using the new edify scripting engine, could that be a problem?

[HTC Aria General] jacobas92:
You'll have to compile a theme made for the theme chooser app if I'm not mistaken. I just made a thread for this and a Google search answered my question.

[HTC Aria General] jacobas92:
Doh'. Saw CWM and thought you said CM.

UOT customization with sense would be awesome.
[HTC Aria General] zervic:
obviously something you are doing on the site is conflicting with the ROM you are on...what all are you adding with UOT? try adding 1 thing at a time (i.e. add 1, compile, flash, add 1 & 2, compile, flash, so on and so forth) until you get your culprit. then you'll know not to add that feature
[HTC Aria General] tedkunich:
Just adding the battery icon, specifically the gingerbread one. I'll try one that i have used before and see if I get the same results.

UPDATE: Created a new update using the the SCB with %, Version Z (exactly the same configuration that I have previously created and successfully installed using the old site) and I get the same exact error attempting to install in CWM. The install scripts are completely different.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joelfantastic:
Hi, I have a Samsung Captivate running Phoenix 5.2 JS5, a Froyo ROM. I am curious, I have my corporate E-mail (exchange 2003) synced to my device, and here's the problem I'm having. When I delete an E-mail from the device, it removes it from the server, seen in the Outlook 2007 desktop client. When I delete an E-mail from the Outlook client, it remains on the device, even after a manual sync or refresh on the device.

Any ideas? I've looked through all the settings and am unable to locate anything that would change this behavior. I work in the IT department for my company, and I've noticed this same issue for users with the old Moto Droids running on 2.2 stock.

Thanks for any input.

They tried to tell me on the phone i could not cancel it. But after i told them i was not hanging up till it was canceled they took care of it. She said i would have to pay for any data i used, i said ok i haven't turned it on yet so shouldn't be a problem.
[Xoom General] joeski27:
Yup, thats the policy, which is of course fine because like you, if necessary I plan on calling VZ as soon as I walk out of BBY to cancel my plan. Just a bummer that the rep on the phone had to give you such a hard time about it. But policy is policy!
[Xoom General] Blackcobra95:
Ditto. Got home after picking mine up and the rep said I would have to take the slate back if I wanted to cancel data. I tried to get transferred to supervisor but she eventually got what I was trying to do.
[Xoom General] harajuka:
Cancelled mine, but she did have to put me on hold for a while i guess to speak to a manager... Got it taken off and I asked about the activation fee, she said that will be processed and mailed to me in 4-6 weeks. what a pain! I don't know why Verizon is doing this, but just pisses me off and makes me never ever want to signup for any of their service..

Btw tested the 3g speed compared to my tmobile, and it was slow....
[Xoom General] mystkrh:
Really that is funny best buy made me activate it this morning and I just got off the phone with them. I just told the lady that they made me active it and I did not need data service at this time and I wanted to cancel it. She kept asking me if they activated it in the store and I said yes so they canceled it and took the activation fee off. She was very nice had no problem at all :-)

Btw typing this on my xoom no spellcheck ftl or I don't know how to activate it lol

While the Kindle app runs, it is somewhat sluggish when page turning... definitely could use some work. This is the response I received from Amazon regarding it:

My original support request to them:
[Xoom General] svghost:
I too am very interested in this update. Another point that could be greatly improved is when in landscape mode having the Kindle app show 2 pages instead of resizing one page to where its so wide its hard to read.
[Xoom General] SBC44:
I am also very interested in an update to the Kindle app for honeycomb. A 2 page view for landscape viewing would be much better, it just looks goofy the way it is now. I'm thinking about using google books until Amazon updates the app, but I would rather have all of my content in one place.
[Xoom General] atoy74:
Agreed. An update is very necessary. Two page landscape and performance are paramount.
[Xoom General] droidtacular:
Amazon is supposed to be launching their own Android app store this month:

http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/01/amazon-appstore-for-android-launching-this-month/

With all the attention they're going to get on Android with this app store launch, I can't believe that they wouldn't also be working on making the Kindle Android app shine on Honeycomb now that both the SDK and the first HW using it are out. I would assume it's just a question of time.
[Xoom General] jsnryn:
Amazon has been really goo about updating their apps, so I don't imagine it will take very long for them to get something out. With so many tablets coming out they won't want to miss out on that user base.
[Xoom General] DocSavag:
Yes I'm looking forward to a new tablet centric version of Kindle. I used the Amazon app almost exclusively on iPad it really shined there, it has to shine on Android tablets too. I agree that Amazon investing an Android App Market has to mean they intend to make Kindle work well with Android.

Right now I'm using Nook for Android until Kindle gets up to speed. I agree with the other comments the biggest issue right now is the lack of two page view in landscape. Reading books in landscape without it is awkward and reading it with the wide screen table in portroit mode is painful :)
[Xoom General] mgerbasio:
Same here, looking forward to the kindle tablet app.
[Xoom General] schnoz:
I have never used the kindle app on android before, but I have a quick question.

Does anybody know if you can hook up a kindle account to android if it's already linked to an actual kindle device? If you can, can you also read on both devices at the same time?
[Xoom General] atoy74:
I believe you can. Kindle allows you to sync on any Kindle app. For instance, I have a book synced to my Kindle for PC, Kindle for Android and Kindle for Ipad.

Best part is it syncs your place within the book across all the platforms as well.
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
Yes and yes, it will sync the page you are on too
[Xoom General] tbayne:
I have a kindle (3rd generation) that is linked to my Amazon kindle account.

When I ran the Android Kindle app, I logged in, and all of my previously purchased books were in the "Archived" section. I was able to open the book I was currently reading on the Kindle on the Xoom and read it without issue.

BTW, I haven't noticed any "sluggish" behavior from the Kindle app - but maybe I am just lucky.

Terry
[Xoom General] bogatyr:
Specifically the sluggish behavior is in the page turn. When you move the page it is really bad looking, which doesn't affect reading, it is more of a superficial issue. Just something they should polish when they fix landscape viewing (2 pages).
[Xoom General] neologis:
do not be surprised when Amazon announces that you will only be able to get further Android Kindle App updates via their App store.
[Xoom General] bogatyr:
As long as the app is free, I'll install their market for it. Then never use their market again. /shrug
[Xoom General] berkmanmd:
looking forward to the updated kindle for honeycomb app.

when/if the amazon market comes, i'll welcome it. competition is a good thing...
[Xoom General] diaa08:
i have a kindle and have a dozen or so books on my amazon account, so i definitely want to get the more tablet-friendly app asap.

[Streak 5 General] akguy:
I got the OTA ATT update yesterday. The phone worked great for one day. This morning when I got up I now get "System Exception" with a choice of "quit,copy to SD log, Report LOTA". I choose quit. Then I get "The android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." I choose "Force Close".

When I do this it just starts the whole thing over again and again:bangshead:

I rebooted, a number of times. I have taken the battery out. No luck with any of it. I tried to do a "update from SD card" but it says I have to download the update. I'm afraid if I do a "factory reset" it will take me back to 1.6. Then I have to start over with no backup.

Any ideas?>:/>:/>:/

By the way,. after researching the android.process.acore issue I found it mentioned on other phone forums indicating issues caused by putting icons on the home screen. This was the last thing I did last night so I'm sure this is what caused it. But it won't let me delete anything since all I can get are the errors.:mad:
[Streak 5 General] hpacura:
No worry, doing a factory reset will not take you back to OS 1.6. In fact, it's a good thing to do a factory reset right after the update.
