[Nexus S General] zephiK:
For hacking Nexus S, I would suggest doing it from the Android Development forums for Nexus S rather than a website. And Recovery, you aren't supposed to be using Back, Search, Home key.. its the volume buttons and power button.

What Recovery are you using? Clockwork or Stock?
[Nexus S General] choclacte:
using clockwork. the buttons don't work after. when i install any rom. after. and the stock roms just don't install.

Bootloaderversion - I9020XXkA3

Baseband Version - I9020XXKB3
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
what are the steps you are using to flash a ROM? just asking to see if you're doing it properly. list what ROM, and Clockwork 3.0.0.5 correct?
[Nexus S General] choclacte:
Tried already CyanogenMod7 Nightly #12, Axura-1110-NSE, GingerS-ROM-v0.7-signed and the GRI40 2.3.3 (stock).

Yes, my ClockworkMod is v3.0.0.5.

I manage to install the rom's, but the problem is after. Looks like the screen isn't calibrated. And none of the Home,Search,Back and Options 'keys' work. Just power, and the volume. but if the phone enters in standby mode I can't get him back. Any way to just put it like factory again. In other words, is it possible to 'Unroot' or just get the stock working?
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
Screen not being calliberated is a 2.3.3 problem with yellowish tint. To fix this you need a kernel supporting Voodoo Color. And yes, download a nandriod backup and restore it. You can find the backups on the Dev forum.
[Nexus S General] choclacte:
already wiped everything from the phone.

the problem is that none of the keys after work. :(
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
Wiped Dalvik / Cache / Data? Try downloading a nandroid backup from the dev forums then Nandroid Restore, and for a LAST RESORT. you can try Odin but I never used it for the NS.

If not then, you seriously messed up your phone by doing improper instructions on that website (or. the website did it wrong)
[Nexus S General] choclacte:
How to do this on windows7 or Mac?

already did that. wipe all the cache and data. everytime i try to install a rom need to do that.

how to do Nandroid restore.
[Nexus S General] choclacte:
Problem solved.. still don't know how.. but it seems to be working. Many thanks!
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
nandroid restore: download one.. put it in clockworkmod/backup

then go into backup/restore in recovery

dalvik wipe is in advanced in recovery

Greetings to all! Help to choose FS:-)

I have noticed lag of games when used Ext2

And what file system is most stable and fast?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jervis93:
ext4 filesystem
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] medvedkovo:
thanks :-)

I use DamianGTO....and many people recommended Ext2...why?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jervis93:
ext2 provide faster speed
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Auzy:
In benchmarks maybe (although, very little testing appears to have taken place in the Filesystem wars).

Try them all I'd say, although, at least from first impressions, JPY even with RFS feels very smooth to me (although, I haven't properly tested it, so it might be placebo effect talking)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DamianGto:
Well file system is not simple to choose.

So far ext2 is fastest and that has been tested over and over again. But still.some people here don't beloved it.

But there is more things that happens in the phone when you use it.

Its very easy to get high score on I/o but you will suffer from micro lag.

And worst is that read and write speed is different and has different priority.

All this things need to take care of when making a kernel.

If you improve one area then the other will be worse.

Sure you can make a kernel that's great on games but you would not like it in normal use.

Tested how and where.. Using Quadrant? What's the typical read:write ratio of this device for ordinary users Damian? Seeing as it has been proven, surely you must know this..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DamianGto:
You still dont know what you are talking about, so just stop ask stupid question and other stupid things.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] medvedkovo:
Okey guys!

How FS Ext2 or Ext4 influences the battery?

p.s. When i use Ext2 for example in game GunBros there were lags...

p.p.s. Excuse I badly speak in English
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Auzy:
They may sound stupid to "professionals" such as yourself, but to the rest of the development world, I think I'm making a fair point. I've been told to report "facts" to admins which are unproven, and I will do so again in this case. Because if the "fact" can't be proven and it turns out wrong, it may be detrimental to future developers who think you actually tested it...

If you had indeed tested it, it should only take 2 or 3 minutes to post the procedure you used so the community can verify it. However, seeing as you are unable to do so, in my opinion, what you have said again, is total bulls*it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DamianGto:
If you start read on xda about this you should know it a well known FACT the ext2 is faster. All developer knows it to. Have you done anything beside whining and tell people that use ext2 that they dont know how fast or how safe it is and they should not use it for you dont understand how it works?

You say we dont give you facts, but you have so far given zero test your self to show us we are wrong.

Start with that first. And dont link to other place you found on google.

Try make a test to prove us wrong.

I bet you cant...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Auzy:
I've looked through XDA, and have discovered that it is an absolute FACT that EXT4 is in fact the fastest. No testing is required, as there is thousands of benchmarks out there that prove it Damian.All the testing, despite the effort put in, I keep locked away in a HDD at home. But I can tell you that EXT4 is 25% faster at all times, and that with the appropriate boot time options (which I wont disclose), can reach 92%. The use of extents enhance the effect 10x. Evidence is posted on other threads, look for it yourself.

(In case you can't tell, I'm copying the BS Damian Says.. Consistently. SGS ROM development doesn't interest me as much as some other PC projects I'm helping with currently, hence why I never looked into it. Also, I only have 1 mobile phone which I use for work, so it would be stupid for me to roll my own rom's currently (and it would likely impact my working life). That doesn't mean I don't have experience with messing with the kernel though..

However, I have posted a means to at least help get more information to help prove this claim. My advice is ignore Damian, and those who have time to prove this claim should begin by gathering information. I'm not defending either EXT4 or EXT2. However, I fail to understand how anyone could defend either of them without even knowing how they are being used, unless they are faster in ALL scenarios. Damian could be right, but that WONT be because he actually ran proper tests. It will only be because he coincidentally gambled the winner
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
It is common courtesy when stating something is faster than something else, to have a benchmark or link to a reference. Otherwise this just becomes yet more unverified information on the internet.

Is there any reference to tests highlighting EXT2 is faster on flash memory?

All people look this link:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DamianGto:
Do you say all people that use ext2 and do benchmark is wrong when they prove time after time that the phone is faster and the benchmark Also show it?

Yes boot up can be faster with ext4 and that is also well known.

That because how the system works.

ya tested in his mind.. any opinion other than his own is wrong..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DamianGto:
Well I read test after test people do.

Its very very very hard to find any test that shows ext4 would be faster then ext2.

As I can see none here has any link to prove that claim either on the phone.

Advise what updating file system to use?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jervis93:
depends on what kernel u choose
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] medvedkovo:
I use DamianGTo kernel :-) I think it's the best kernel.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jervis93:
then u should use ext2
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Auzy:
So you haven't ACTUALLY tested it. You looked up benchmarks... Correct?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] medvedkovo:
For definition of efficiency between file systems Ext2 and Ext4 I used Smartbench,

But results appeared very similar.

Anyone's running it successfully?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] mousiope:
i´ve got my hands on a downloaded version since i would like to buy it but cant find it on market, if the market version runs like this one i won´t buy it, most games have problems, framerate wobbles a lot, either too fast either too slow ...

i have faith in the developper since i own snesoid,gensoid and nesoid and they run great

i just hope this isn´t another psx4droid scheme ....
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] markshane:
It runs pretty well with some older games like SM64 and banjo kazooie,

But new games wont probably run smooth or even run at all... Well, atleast its a start.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphamancer:
Considering buying the Standard Dock for use as a clock and just.. being a nice accessory to throw your phone in when not in use.. but my main concern is this. Does the fact that the screen is going to be on overnight (which is when I'd have the device docked) going to be a problem?

To be clear, I'm not worried about things like ghosting or damaging the screen that way, but rather am I going to drastically reduce the life of my device if the life expectancy of my Atrix is two years tops?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mreamy:
When it's in the dock there is a button to dim the screen. It's very dim at that point so I doubt much power is used. The Dock includes a power brick as well.

Life expectancy of the device, not battery life. I appreciate the rapid response though

what about the terrible wifi freezing or the fact that it only has half as much ram as promised?
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
the ram is 512 as it should be. There's been multiple statements on the issue. As for WiFi issues they are memory card related. The default 16 gig sd cards were terrible and I was smart enough to wait to buy it for that. I have the 8 gig and recently upped that to 32. Neither had a single WiFi freeze and I run off WiFi about ninety percent of the time.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Link to a source or tear down. Has Dell ever confirmed the amount of RAM in the phone?
[Windows Phone 7 General] hebrewhammer:
Don't get me wrong, I actually really want this phone, but having to install a new memory card in order to get the phone to be stable is retarded tbh.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
I don't use twitter but Dell addressed the issue on there from an account called Dell Cares that said there was a system issue that pretty much underclocked it that would be resolved in the next version. I don't know all the details but I've emailed multiple reps and they've all told me that exact same thing. Not that it matters really, I mean 256 megs is a ton of ram for a phone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
That has never been stated on twitter by Dellcares or Lionel who is the Dell rep that actually said an update is coming. I follow both of them and also read the dell venue pro hash tag daily and NO ONE has said anything about any underclocking nor that it would be fixed in any specific version, all that was said was that an update was coming and that is all, no ETA was given. If that is what Dell reps are telling you that is the first time anyone has claimed knowledge of what the issue is and when it will be fixed, and going by the track record of Dell reps its hard to believe they will have this knowledge.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
Well I live in Austin Texas, literally 8 miles from Round Rock and Dell is huge here. They create a huge number of jobs and even have a manufacturing plant here. I talk to quite a few of them including a lot of the people who were testers for the Dell Streak and they are working on the issue. I just kind of put two and two together. I will certainly email a few of my friends who work for Dell and try and get more information but they certainly implied the update was coming with NoDo.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ganondolf:
on the uk site (dell.co.uk) they have it listed with 512mb of ram.
[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
Dell doesn't list the memory on their US site, so it doesn't apply.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ganondolf:
The US should have the nodo update next week and you will then now how much ram the US devices have as in india they have 512mb with the nodo update (or some form of the update) on their devices.

Doesn't every windows phone has the same specs?? they only change camera and screen
[Windows Phone 7 General] Cyruss89:
No the RAM differs, the Mozart has 576Mb RAM, the Optimus 7 has 512Mb.

Haven't heard of a device with 256Mb, but it is possible, because MS demands at least 256Mb.

[Vibrant General] Phrack:
There is no workaround for Netflix on Android. Hulu was relatively easy since 2.2 & higher have adobe flash built-in and Hulu (like the majority of video streaming sites) is flash based. The Android flash player was basically hex edited to fool Hulu into thinking it was a PC and not Android by modifying a text string.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11329624&postcount=81

Netflix on the other hand uses Silverlight platform (Microsoft's answer to Adobe Flash) which doesn't currently exist for Android. Until Netflix finally releases an app or we get Silverlight on Android there is no way to watch Netflix.
[Vibrant General] TJBunch1228:
Yeah there is a workaround. Download PlayOn from the Market.

Yep, Playon is the way to go to get Hulu, Netflix and other online content to your phone.

Give me a link, and I'll tell them what's up.
[Vibrant General] Spastic909:
I wasn't watching trek but I was using netflix through play on. Only problem is you need to be connected to the play on server on computer....still limited though. Netflix isn't on any android devices...not until they figure a proper drm format..no DRM is the only reason it wasn't released when iphone got it.
[Vibrant General] ScooterG:
Interesting thread about Netflix on Android/*nix devices.

http://forum.chumby.com/viewtopic.php?id=5957
[Vibrant General] reddragon72:
Once you do the initial WIFI pairing it will continue to work on 3G and other places VIA WIFI. The app syncs to the playon server to get your IP address, if your IP address changes(the one given to you by you ISP) you'll need to re-sync. but I use it out and about all the time on 3G and other peoples WIFI without a problem, just a little slow on the initial startup, but hey it is a beta app.
[Vibrant General] Phrack:
So I have to stream content from my PC...

WTF is the point?

I'll just watch it on my PC's big screen instead...this really is stupid..If I'm at home why would I watch ANYTHING on my phone's little screen when I can just watch it on my PC or laptop?

I watch sports highlights, Family Guy (Fox.com) etc. on my phone when I'm on the road on 3G..but if I'm home I'm not gonna use my phone when my PC offers a wayyyy better viewing experience.

Playon is a waste of time and money. It would be excellent if it offered Hulu/Netflix WITHOUT having to stream from a PC.
[Vibrant General] TJBunch1228:
LOL @ this EPIC FAIL.

DUDE.... as long as your home computer is connected to the PlayOn server at home, you can watch Netflix/Hulu on your phone from Tienemen Square if you wanted, granted you had some data connection. Go ahead... just try to read the directions. kthx.

Edit: Regardless of anything else, I will agree that it is a waste of money, as I believe Netflix on a cell phone is a novelty at best. I mean unless you are making like 45 min commutes to work on the bus or something, you'll rarely find time to watch an episode of The Office on your phone.

Edit 2: I am having a ****ty day at work and they came out more rude than I intended. Sorry.
[Vibrant General] Phrack:
The point is...this turns my PC into a media server...without PC this is useless..

I can do the same thing with my laptop anywhere there is a wifi connection or tether to my phone.

Make an app that works just with my phone, I'll be impressed, much like the forthcoming Hulu plus app.

Not everyone leaves their PC on 24/7 (I sure as hell don't).

Don't apologize, I prefer no sugarcoating on anything, speak your mind.
[Vibrant General] Dammit2Hell:
I got Playon a few weeks ago. On my Tab and on my Vibrant. In my opinion it is well worth the money. It's not just for Netflix. You can stream lots of video from other sites. I have a PS3 and a Wii with Netflix. I also have a computer that I can stream. Hell, I can even stream movies from my computer to my PS3 and watch them on the big screen. I still find use for Playon. I watch on my Tab at night while in the bed, and I often use it at work. I guess to each his own.

BTW, the deal with not having a Netflix app on Android has nothing to do with dual core processors. The Netflix people are worried about people figuring out someway to copy the movies.
[Vibrant General] TJBunch1228:
So, there is an option, it just isn't ideal in your situation. So you would rather just complain about there being no options? You might have to jump through hoops, and change up your PC turning off routine, but it's a viable alternative to what we have now. Which is jack ****.

Until Netflix sorts out their DRM licensing drama for Android, you might have to leave your PC humming during the day if you want to watch Skins. Big deal.
