[HTC Inspire 4G] snd5014:
Prior to my Inspire I was on a iPhone 3gs not jailbroken with lots of apps. First like to comment that I love the Inspire, HTC has made an amazing phone. I have been going back and forth on whether to root all day (I have an extra kingston 2gb in front of me to make my goldcard). It seems there are still problems with the root since the Inspire is new, and AT&T is just started offering android. I don't mind following step by step instructions, as I have seen provided by many amazing developers. However, I do mind if my phone is buggy and screen locks constantly. I really do want to unleash this thing with my grandfathered unlimited data plan, but I have never held a rooted android phone let alone a rooted Inspire. How is the rooting compatible with the inspire on AT&T? I've seen locked screens and other bugs in recent posts and am unsure if I should root, suggestions appreciated.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
Honestly its up to you. I have done nothing, but experiment and make boot animations which I flash probably about 10 times a day. If you like the phone as it is then don't root. If you want to have control of the phone and do what you want ie. custom roms with overclocking cpu, better battery life, (eng s-off) flash new radios that have better reception and battery life, custom boot animations... the list goes on. It is entirely up to you. Only you can decide if customizing and altering your phone is worth it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] snd5014:
Well that is my entire goal, I wanna get a better battery, reception, tether to my unlimited, and eliminate blockbuster!!!!! i hate that app. But yea I do want that control, but my point is how are these programs running as of now for Inspire? The patches to run other phones is great and has been well developed, but Inspire isn't a month old. What are ROMs running like, and has there been enough debugging to make rooting workable now?
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
If I am speaking for me, these rom's are working really well. The inspire may only be a month old but the Desire HD has been out for quite a while and almost all of the roms are based on the desire platform. From all the roms I have tried which is all of the ones in this dev section, the only ones I have found major bugs with are the CM7 ones, the other ones are pretty much the stock roms that are optimized.
[HTC Inspire 4G] TheBassman369:
I would root it. I followed the directions to the letter and flashed CM7...no issues at all except a few CM bugs. The speed alone is worth it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] legend221:
Definitely root, the advantages are too long to list.

Be bold and take full control of your purchase.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ronnie498:
Root it
[HTC Inspire 4G] inertiamonster:
But you'll lose Blockbuster and the Asphalt game!!!

ROOT IT!!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] snd5014:
Gonna root

I'm doing it....still problems with making my goldcard. Downloaded SDK, and trying to get ADB to work now. Having some trouble here though, any advice?
[HTC Inspire 4G] AnyMal:
Hmmm.. I can't think of a reason not to root ;)

[HTC Incredible S] lge73:
I noticed a huge battery consuption in standby, about 38mA in stanby (on Desire was 5-8mA). I tried many different ways: disabeled mobile networks, hard resetted the device, but the result is the same. On the device 1.36.405.1 built is running.

Has anybody met the same problem?
[HTC Incredible S] timbo007up:
Yeap, probably because sense is anoying, constant sync or something like that. And somehow I think they didn't optimized it very well.. probably wait for updates

And 1 or 2 mA is something I have never seen. How did u managed that?
[HTC Incredible S] gudge:
I get between 30mA and 150mA in standby, rising to around 260mA when screen is on, peaking up to around 400mA occationly. I got these results from a free app called Battery Monitor. Would be interesting to see what others get, and anything that can help reduce the mA figures significantly ? I'm not overly impressed with the IS battery life so far.
[HTC Incredible S] Paschalis:
there is a huge difference on stand-by battery consumption in htc official website..

with Incr. S you have 8mp cam, but with Desire S you got better battery...

The difference is huge.. :/
[HTC Incredible S] qvert:
isnt is the desire S released with gingerbread and the Incredible S with froyo?

maybe thats the reason
[HTC Incredible S] teosnew:
However, battery lasts much longer than dhd, hd2, and even desire z! It's a fact, I have tested myself. It's all due that ugly bump at the back of the phone which covers new 1450ma battery which lasts me all day without charge.
[HTC Incredible S] Hawkysoft:
cant really complaign about battery at all, since my old phone whas hardly making it for 18 hours, this phone would even reach 36hrs for sure, and i use wifi at home, bluetooth in the car, 3g all day, and play games as well
[HTC Incredible S] lge73:
CurrentWidget use to measure power consumption.

In standby using 3G i got 38mA, when i switch to airplane mode increase to 142mA!!! How is this possible? What values ​​you measured?
[HTC Incredible S] bippo:
battery consumption

In my case, minimum 36mA and maximum 440mA, but battery life very good, two times better as by my HD2, also better as by my, already sold, Trophy. I am curios when Gingerbread will come Q2 this year, will be better or not?!:confused:
[HTC Incredible S] retu77:
I think Incredible s battery life is pretty good for me.

Link is my inaccurately test.Standby for almost 192 hours or 7.4mA.

Better than Desire HD,Desire Z and Desire in my hand.

[HTC Incredible S] alienjohn:
How do you get such a long time? My IS only last 10 hours with 3g all day .
[HTC Incredible S] retu77:
With 3g network ?

11hours using time with 3g and sync in my hand.

So I think yours is at average.
[HTC Incredible S] alienjohn:
12 hours with 2g network...

Hello all, I'm hoping I can get some help. I cannot get passed stock recovery to Clockwork recovery. I am rooted and have done this many times so I know that you have to reinstall packages to get there, sometimes twice, but I have done it repeatedly and it keeps going back to stock recovery. Any ideas?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moped_Ryder:
Maybe install ROM Manager and reflash the ClockworkMod Recovery?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oka1:
You may need to check if you are indeed rooted check by manually going into Download mode, if that works you may need to reflash CWM, if not then you may need to reroot the phone

I've tried going though rom manager and it takes me to the same stock recovery. Reinstalling packages isn't working. I used Odin, went back to stock, used samsung kies mini to update to Froyo, Super one click root, and then 3e recovery.

Hi all,

Attached is the DSP manager for Villain Rom, when i try to install it on my sense desire 2.2 (Starburst) its giving parse error

is there anyone who can modify this for android 2.2, this version of DSP has enhanced functionality which we dont get with prior versions

any help is appreciated

regards

H
[Desire Themes and Apps] affmalg:
The DSPManager must be installed as systemapp afaik.

Either you put it into a flashable zip or push it with adb or copy it to system/app with root explorer and S-OFF
[Desire Themes and Apps] itsjatt5:
mate i have already got a DSP manager installed. I just want to replace it with this one.

Being it made for android 2.3 its not compatible with android 2.2

as i have no clue about development of android i hoped someone here could recompile this APK to be compatible for android 2.2
[Desire Themes and Apps] david1171:
Don't know if it will work for you, but I edited the minSDKversion from 9 to 8 in AndroidManifest.xml.

There may be other software dependencies that it relies on to function properly. If that isn't the reason, then you could try clearing the apps data/cache in settings-applications-manager applications and seeing what that does.

If you would still like to know what I did to make it work, I could write a quick guide later today of what I did.
[Desire Themes and Apps] xavdeman:
I would like to know how you made it work, since I want to use it on my LG Optimus 2X but when I install the apk I got from the cyanogen CM7 .zip for another phone it doesn't work...
[Desire Themes and Apps] bland.life:
I think theres one more file for the cyanogen DSPmanager.

system\lib\soundfx\libcyanogen-dsp.so

Read from an Oxygen thread post that you need to put that file in too.

I have both .apk and .so files on my Desire with Oxygen and it works.
[Desire Themes and Apps] dannylill1981:
im using oxygen 2.0.3 and i would love the dsp manager, what files are required.....??
[Desire Themes and Apps] david1171:
To make it work with froyo, I used apktool on the apk, then I opened up the AndroidManifest.xml with PSPad, I edited the android:targetSdkVersion to be 8 instead of 9 (8 is the SDK version for froyo), then I recompiled the apk with apktool, signed, and pushed/installed on the phone.

In the DSPManager.apk from CM7.0.0, you need to edit the line android:minSdkVersion to be 8.

I have no way of testing this (as I am using CM7 RC4 and do not feel like installing a froyo ROM or a ROM without DSPManager), but it has the .so file mentioned above and the DSPManager.apk from CM7.0.0. Flash the file in recovery, if for some reason it will not flash, then push the files with adb or use root explorer and set the permissions.

adb remount
adb push libcyanogen-dsp.so /system/lib/soundfx/libcyanogen-dsp.so
adb push DSPManager.apk /system/app/DSPManager.apk
adb shell reboot

http://bit.ly/gLGIxj

Let me know whether or not this works.
[Desire Themes and Apps] dannylill1981:
flashing the zip, the phone would freeze at the bootloader, but pushing the files it works a treat thank you so much, i can finally make use of my headphones.......

So I was using ad free and i love how it blocks those annoying ads but i was wondering something. when ever an ad is supposed to be there on a page a little spinning icon appears I was wondering could this be causing more battery drain than just keeping the ads in. Does the icon mean the program is continuously searching for an ad to display taking up data and clock cycles of the cpu. If any one knows that answer I would be very curious to know thanks.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
It means you didn't reboot to clear out your ad cache, after a reboot you shouldn't see any ads or " little spinning icons"

Reserved reserved
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] -SAIUN-:
Nice tips, zeppelin. The settings have much improved the performance of my Milestone, but I am still getting occasional redraws with LPP. Free RAM is usually between 38MB and 45MB, using VM Heap of 40M and your 6,10,24,40,50,60 settings for AMM.

EDIT: Also, when I add the ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=-1 line to the /data/local.prop file, after a reboot that line has disappeared from the file.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] afadel:
For that, make sure you have a empty line at the end of the file (hit enter after entering the home_app line). This would make it not go away after reboot.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] afadel:
How do I check what ade the currently minfree values on the system? I supose you don't have to reboot for the settings to go into effect, right?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] zeppelinrox:
Thanks for the empty line tip. I forgot about that

AMM displays your current values whenever you run it.

EDIT: NO It does NOT... oops AKMO does though.

I was under the impression that a reboot is required. I'll look into that further.

Let me know how it works for you.

Edit: The local.prop edit requires reboot.

........AMM (or AKMO) and the disabling CM's lock home in memory setting do not require a reboot. So you can tweak AMM's settings on the fly!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] clmta:
You can check minfree using gscript running with root priviledge and the following command

cat /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree

this shows you the values in pages, I believe it are 4Kbytes pages.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] zeppelinrox:
nice.

Yes minfree's values are in pages and 1 page = 4kbytes.

24mb would show as 6144.

ie. 6144*4/1024=24

Yes see afadel's post after yours regarding the local.prop edit.

Hit enter so that you have an empty line at the end.

You're still getting redraws because the "bulletproof launcher" entry got deleted. Damn kryptonite!

I edited the OP accordingly.

Also, after you get the local.prop file working properly, see how much free ram you have at that time.

I'm thinking that you currently have 45mb free because the launcher is still getting killed.

So, if it doesn't get killed, it should be more like 30-35 mb free.

Now if you aren't getting redraws (launcher is kept alive) and your ram is still 40-45mb free, you can probably lower the 3rd value from 24 to 20.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] clmta:
Hello, nice tips

In my MM I had to change some the cache, using 40m is too much because phone is slowly, I notice it have low memory than using the standard memory configuration (28m in APAC) but I changed to 24m as I had in 2.1u1.

In normal use I have now 32MB free but setting to aggresive mode it goes to 40MB free.

The problem using aggresive mode is that if you are looking into maps and change to make some sum (i.e. using realcalc) you lost maps ubication, or if you return to maps you lost the state of other programs, so kernel kill the program.

Regards,

Claudio.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] zeppelinrox:
Are you referring to VM Heap size?

I'm pretty sure now that VM heap size shouldn't really affect free ram.

But if it's too big, small apps will lag and if it's too small, large apps will lag.

I recommended 40mb because it would prevent most launchers from splitting into 2 virtual machines.

I guess here you are referring to AMM's aggressive settings?

The second number in AMM's aggressive settings is 12, which would make visible apps more likely to get killed than the 10 mb I suggested.

Come to think of it, perhaps I will test with that set to the default 8 mb ie. 6, 8, 24, 40, 50, 60
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] n3n00:
Im currently running 6,8,16,40,50,60. Is that crazy? XD

Btw one question, I posted in cm7 thread but no answer :(. Can I change this values without using AMM(uninstalled)? I mean, change it from Root Explorer, and settings would be the same after rebooting?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] zeppelinrox:
lol no you're not crazy.

Like I said, I may tinker a little more with my settings - 6, 8, 24, 40, 50, 60 is not that different from yours.

I was testing 6, 10, 20, 40, 50, 60 this afternoon but I didn't like it too much.

Sorry, I hadn't visited the the CM7 thread in a few hours.

I usually save that one till last because it always has some good reading lol.

But yes, you can edit the same file that gets edited by AOR's memory manager:

/system/etc/init.d/99complete

Be sure to get the permissions right.

I cheat and use SuperManager ;)

Edit: Permissions for 99complete = chmod 755 /system/etc/init.d/99complete
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] n3n00:
And right permissions are? Im newbie with them xD.

With 16 I don't get FCs in apps I'm using. I did this because I read a tutorial for AMM, and realized that these numbers (6,8 etc) are RAM, and when system reaches 16mb, it will FC the secondary server (i guess that is, lets say game or something? Am I wrong?)

Edit: wtf I don't have a 99complete o_O.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] zeppelinrox:
99complete for your settings of: 6,8,16,40,50,60

#/sbin/sh

echo "1536,2048,4096,10240,12800,15360" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree

I attached it as well - just remove the .txt extension.

Permissions are the same as 10overclock ie.

Edit: The hard core way ---> chmod 755 /system/etc/init.d/99complete
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] clmta:
ok, I understand the point now. I checked now and I saw 2 LauncherPro running, so I will make some tests to try to put them in only one VM.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] afadel:
And what's the advantage of having the app running in one process only?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] zeppelinrox:
After reading this page, I was under the impression that it's less efficient and that memory is wasted.

Is my conclusion correct, or not so much?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tuxor1337:
In the beginning, I thought it worked great, but now I'm having just as many redraws as I had before. Mostly while using an internet browser - opera mobile or standard browser alike.

I tried different minfree values as recommended in v2 (6-8-24-26-28-30) or v3 (6-8-24-30-40-50) and different values for ro.HOME_APP_ADJ (0 or -1). But I never got rid of these redraws.

The last thing I tried was a whole reset (flashed full o2 sbf and after that the african kernel). Applying OC, dsi fix and this fix here made my phone run quite smoothly, but launcher redraws are still there ...

(is there a "lock home in memory" option in stock-ROMs?)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] zeppelinrox:
I don't think there is that option on stock roms. So you're on a stock rom?

I actually still have yesterday's telus update installed and I don't see that option anywhere.

When I do a getprop in Process Monitor Widget, I see this....

Of note are the lines:

ro.HOME_APP_MEM = 6144

ro.HOME_APP_ADJ = 4

I just installed AMM to see where it is.

It is in the 4th slot, on its own, with a priority of 4 and shows up as android.process.launcher

Where does it show up on your phone?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tuxor1337:
I'm having:

# getprop | grep HOME
[ro.HOME_APP_ADJ]: [-1]
[ro.HOME_APP_MEM]: [6144]

And android.process.launcher shows up with "OOM Priority:-1" in AMM.

So I guess, everything is ok. No idea, why the launcher is killed anyway - as said above mostly by Opera, which has priority of 10. But other apps might also kill the launcher. It's just, that I'm not using much besides an internet browser ;)

Is it dangerous to use even smaller values for ro.HOME_APP_ADJ like -10 or -12?

And does the value of ro.HOME_APP_MEM matter?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] zeppelinrox:
Well it's working...

ro.HOME_APP_MEM shouldn't matter but you can lower it in init.rc

I'd suggest putting home back to 0 though.

The only reason that I can think of that it would be slow to show up would be that maybe you aren't overclocked and the delay is just simply that the phone is slow to redraw the screen in general and that the launcher isn't actually getting killed.

So, are you overclocked? (please say no lol)
