I don't get what's the point of temp-root?

That's like getting a temp-raise from your job.

I think it's so you can experience the thrill of rooting.

Every. Single. Time. You boot.
[EVO 4G General] detcup4evr:
You gotta start somewhere, when I first started with the evo, I knew nothing of android, and the only rom i flashed was on my razr, I used a temp root method, for a couple weeks before I finally upgraded to full soff root, mainly I got tired of re rooting to use my features,

I have recommend zroot for a temp root to most people since I haven't heard of it brickong phones, and they just want tether, I hope they come back and ask about better methods down the line. Just gotta get them hooked, like a drug dealer
[Captivate General] a1sk72:
So i just rooted my phone and everything went well. so go to clockmod recovery and install suckerpunch right after the root and i got to reboot it and its stuck. its stuck at the screen where it says suckerpunch soon. i try to plug it in the computer it wont work. i try to go back into recovery it still wont work. i dont know what to do please i need help ASAP. how can i fix this
[Captivate General] NunHugger:
Sounds to me like you might be learning how to make a jig. Another option you might try is forcing your phone into recovery using adb. Just do a quick search and you should be able to find a thread on either.

is download mode the yellow screen?

i cant get into recovery with the button combo

[Captivate General] nickm50:
The suckerpunch kernel is for 2.2.

That's your problem.

Download mode is the yellow screen with the android guy shoveling.

today th enew flash has been optimized for dual core phones, great!

but on webtop, the firefox is using some default flash ofcourse right? Since I cant udpate the flash by any means possible online. And im sure the firefox browser isnt using the flash player installed for android

Any idea on how to update the flash, or does the one installed already fully support the dual core tegra

i just ask because flash vids are choppy (nba.com)

youtube (720p)
[Atrix 4G General] Techcruncher:
720p is known to be bad on mobile flash. Adobe has specifically stated it as something they are working on.

Is there a better free onscreen keyboard for the Archos 101?

thanks
[Gen8 General] hugsrwarmy:
Try Better Keyboard 8, or Swype.
[Gen8 General] jointhedots:
After trying the standard keyboard and then the Gingerbread keyboard I have settled on SwiftKey. It fits properly (no keys hidden behind the soft keys) and has numbers and most common special characters available from the main keyboard via a long-click on a key. It has predictive text as well (which deactivates after the trial period is over). Well worth a look I think.

Note also I could not get Swype to install when I tried a few weeks ago (it failed due to an unsupported screen resolution).
[Gen8 General] pintness:
i tried few alternative keyboards and found that Smart Keyboard responded the quickest.
[Gen8 General] fastmhc:
I use tswipe and like it but i haven't tried enough keyboards to have a good answer
[Gen8 General] ExploreMN:
Swype doesn't work on the 101.

I'm pretty happy with the free Gingerbread Keyboard up in the market. It types much easier than the stock keyboard. I also tried SlideIT (paid) and it is "ok" but not great. No where near as good as Swype on my Epic 4G.
[Gen8 General] mikal75:
Gingerbread Keyboard for me too (A70S).

I also use the thumb keyboard (good for tablet usage) but I think it needs further development to become useful enough
[Gen8 General] 675 Trip:
The new swiftkey tablet beta is Cool
[Gen8 General] digiflame:
second that, looks great too
[Gen8 General] d31b0y:
I have used thumb keyboard ever since it's first release on the android market. Never looked back. So many different options to customize and its really responsive.

Definitely worth the approximately €1.30 I can typewriter about 85% of my regular type speed.
[Gen8 General] nspur:
Not free but cheap is the Flex T9 keyboard that gives you a Swype clone, good predictive text, and Dragon Dictate (that manages to live with my British accent and is accurate but not all that fast). Only problem is that the "p" key is only half displayed on the Archos 70. Swiftkey is also very good and I think I will probably end up using that.

Hi,

I'm sharing this very cool boot animation. First of all, I didn't make the graphic. I found the original animated gif on a free mobile wallpaper website.

Then, I asked

mudknot2005

to make a boot animation with it. He kindly made it for me and even added a cool entrance scene.

From there, I added extra frames to slow down the bouncing motion that was too quick. Then, I added "Loading..." to make it more appealing and appropriate for the booting process.

*Animation is quicker than what you see here. When I made it into gif to post here, my software didn't allow me to make it quicker than this. It also depends on your phone's processing speed, I think.

I'm really loving this one!

So i have used nvflash before and have ran into this issue before and eventually luck my way out of the problem but this time it aint happening. I am nv flashing the original nvflash_gtablet_2010110500 and it is successful but then it restarts and shows the gtable screen then when tapNtap shows up the screen starts to flash between the tapNtap logo and a black screen then eventually goes black. i flashed and reflashed 5-6 times and then tried the gtab 3588 apx and that didnt work and tried the first one and still no dice.

WHAT THE HELL!!!!

please someone help me .. i beg you!
[G Tablet General] butchconner:
After it goes black, have you tried holding down the "power" button to make sure it is off. Then restarting. Does anything happen.

Am I right that you are trying to get back to 2967 stock so you can do something else?

[G Tablet General] ddarvish:
I figured it out and its really stupid. It was one line i didnt read. apperently NVflash DOES NOT format /data and well that was the issue. So i had to use NVflash and replace the recovery.img with the CWM.img and then boot into CWM, and wipe /data and then reflash 3588 via apx and it worked. stupid nv flash
[G Tablet General] ralexand:
You used nvlfash to fix a device. You didn't read the directions correctly and something went wrong. And you blame the program? Take a closer look at the user.
[G Tablet General] kekinash:
Agree with you, here people just jump to do advanced stuff to their tablets without reading and without knowing what the hell is a Rom and when things go wrong they blame any one besides themselves.

I nvflash my tablet, jumped from stock to vegan, tnt, and tnt 5 , flashing cwm, I don't remember how many times, and the only times I was in trouble was because I didn't read properly the warnings, but always I was able to fix it.

If you don't fully understand what you are doing, don't do it until you understand it.

stock messages app

message not downloaded, "generic network failure"

I can send/receive texts just fine, just not a pic in them.

rooted stock 2.2 build 3.29 hw003

I cannot send/receive picture messages. It's been happening for a while now and I've tried a few things and nothing's worked.

what I've tried over the last few weeks :

make sure wifi is off

going to message app, clear data, force stop.

flashing a new (stock) evo messages apk

##3282# advanced>data profile>restore

updated my PRL (60676)

called sprint and they told me to do what I already did and also "reset my data" things on their end

tried hancent sms (mms no work)

when I try to receive or send a picture message the "3G" icon is not showing. Under connection setting (in the stock app) everything is greyed out, showing

Name:production

MMSC: http://mms.sprintpcs.com

MMS proxy: (not set)

MMS port: (not set)

MMS protocol: WAP 2.0

MMS proxy and port not set ????

also, I cannot update my profile. It just goes to a blank black screen. I've waited a few hours and drained my battery waiting, if I press back it goes back to the update menu but if I press update profile, same thing over and over, blank black screen.

Sprint told me a hard reset is the only thing left to do. I really don't want to, someone must have a better solution.

I've searched and searched, tried things people say to fix the prob, can anyone help please ?

thanks

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batman722:
I haven't tried flashing another rom. I also don't have any trusted nandroid backups because of my clockwork to amon_ra recovery issue (solved finally by you btw).

thank you and I'm gonna take a break from this tonight and try to flash myn's tomorrow.

Just a couple of side noob questions.

I can use caulkin's_format_all.zip before flashing the new rom, right ? instead of doing it step by step ? also, do I need to re-flash my kernal after I flash the new rom ?

lastly, roxxorz, thank you for your patience with me. I try to explain things clearly and ask a few questions so if anyone else has a problem like mine it's easier to understand, sorry if it sounds noobish.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Its not noobish to ask questions, and yes, you can use the format all instead of doing it manually. Also you will have to re-flash your kernel after flashing the rom. And no prob. :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batman722:
I haven't flashed a new rom yet, one last question.

the rom I tried to flash was a stock rooted rom, do you think that caused problems with my su ? what if I just flashed a non-rooted stock rom, updated my profile, ect, then I would still be able to use amon and restore my previous nandroid, right ? and still be rooted ?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batman722:
ok had a problem.

I flashed caulkin's format all, flashed mikfroyo and my kernal, updated my profile and prl in mikfroyo. Went into recovery, tried to do a nandroid backup and got an error, please check recovery log.

then tried to restore my previous rom, error, check recovery log.

rebooted device, back to mikfroyo, booted into recovery again, tried again, same error.

So I'm stuck with mikfroyo (bad choice of words, great rom) and have to download a few apps,ect until I can get this 100% solved.

how do I check the recovery log ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Darkyy:
Memory Tweak - get more free RAM to use for apps and less lag.

// This was first intended for other ROM chefs, so they can include this tweak in their ROMs. I'm aware that there are apps which can do this. But it's the idea to have it included automatically, so you don't have to annoy your users ;)

However, this is also for normal users. Those just flash the CWM Package thunderteaser made here. Thanks for this.

I made a script which boosts the RAM Management significantly.

You can use this in any ROM - those values have been created from my mind and were being tested for several days in heavy use.

IMHO, it's the perfect combination of RAM Management.

HOW TO IMPLEMENT IT INTO YOUR ROM

Just make a new bash script and place the following code into it.

NOTE: bash files created on Windows don't work. Create them with a UNIX like Linux (Ubuntu, Fedora, whatever) or Mac OS X.

Place the script in /system/etc/init.d so it gets automatically executed at every startup. You have to make this because init.rc (in root dir /) gets executed first and will also set the RAM Management (minfree) on his own.

UPDATE - 20.03.2011

Supercurio said, there is support for init.d in his Voodoo injected kernel for JV1 Gingerbread.

This means, the script is fully working and the Gingerbread JV1 memory leaks are fixed when using those values.

This also means, my current ROM v10.0 Beta 3 already has the Memory Hack integrated.

#!/system/bin/sh
# DarkyROM 2011 - Joël Staub (darkyy)
# This will stabilize the memory leaks in Gingerbread and other ROMs.

# Adjusting Memory Settings
# The values in MB: 10, 16, 24, 68, 76, 92
if [ -e /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree ]; then
echo "Modifying minfree parameters"
echo "2560,4096,6144,17408,19456,23552" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree
else
echo "minfree not found"
fi

Permissions

You may want to adjust the permissions of the script when it's on your phone.

You can do it with ADB.

First, connect to your phone.

adb shell

Get root access.

su

Set the permissions.

chmod 777 /system/etc/init.d/ramtweak

chown root:root /system/etc/init.d/ramtweak

When you're a ROM chef, you can include those permissions either with update(r)-script or with a bash file.

Thanks to zacharias.maladroit for the hint with the permissions.

- darkyy.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dcarr622:
If you don't mean it, take it out :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] touness69:
Ok this looks awesome but for the most part of the members can u make a proper tutorial ? I really don't understand how to implement your hack, how to create a bash script init.d ?

sorry for my noobiness

And when you say in every ROM, did you also mean every custom kernel ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Darkyy:
I will, sorry for this crap ;)

I'm a bit too tired...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Darkyy:
You just make a new file on your COMPUTER.

Or it would even work on your SGS (but I'm writing now for the Computer).

Example:

Let's say, you're on Windows - create a NEW text file and remove the .txt extension (you need to have this option activated in the explorer settings).

You can leave it to no extension or just make it end on .sh

You got a file called randomname.sh now.

Now to make it easy, just copy this file to the C: drive in NO subfolder.

Now just ADB push this file to your SGS into:

adb push /randomname.sh /system/etc/init.d

Or just copy the .sh file to your SGS via USB Storage mount and copy it to the directory with Root Explorer or Super Manager.

Yes, this should work with every kernel (Android 2.2.1) here.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dcarr622:
Thanks for doing this testing to find good settings. Forgive me if I'm misinformed, but is there anything particularly innovative about new minfree settings? I do appreciate your testing and finding ones that work well for you.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
have a good rest, Darkyy !

thanks for this script

so you noticed improved interactivity with "apps and less lag" ?

gotta try this with CM7 :)

FYI:

the defaults of the CM7 kernel are:

cat /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree
2048,3072,4096,6144,7168,8192

edit2:

make sure that you get the right permissions for the file on the phone afterwards

say:

chmod 750 /system/etc/init.d/99rambooster

chown root:shell /system/etc/init.d/99rambooster
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] touness69:
thanks for explanation ! I have done what you say and rebooted my phone after that. I renamed the file to init.d after placing it into the /system/etc/ directory and setted the défault permissions for this file rwxrwxrwx (or something like that)

But how I find if I have the hack succesfuly installed ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Darkyy:
Not innovative - this is nothing new.

It's just that many ROM devs aren't aware of this and I thought I could share my script.

Strange permissions...

This would be rwx r-x --- [Owner, Group, Other]

EDIT:

Ouch, CM7 really has 2048,3072,4096,6144,7168,8192?

That's really not the best value... looks close like JV1 RAM Management at first glance...

I'm gonna check that later.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
yes,

and those are really the permissions ;)

good thing you came up with these improved values,

I'm gonna include these in the next revision of my script / kernel

thanks again :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
Thanks Darkyy! Once again, you kicketh ass!

I am gonna give this a try. :)
