Alright so Yesterday I installed the android os on my touch pro (raph 500)
i orginally have windows mobile 6.5 which is preety fast
but android is really slow!
i turned off all the settings which i would think it used alot of memory but still no help, so i started seeing videos on overclcking?
can someone explain to me on how to do this,
with links to the download
i really need to speed this up ,it would be amazing if it worked.
also if you give me a response that helps me , ill donate 10.00+ to you .
I do not require funds as I enjoy helping out!
From THIS thread and THIS post:
Overclocking
acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=XXXXXX ( suggested 600000-640000 )
but it is very unstable if you try to get higher than 650000-700000

Basically, you add that to the startup.txt file somewhere between the parentheses with an added space between the next command. Keeping in mind, with added OC, you may and may not notice a difference in stability. I honestly never use OC and I am using FroYo from THIS thread. Additionally you can try out Gingerbread Alpha from THIS thread. Please leave feedback in their respective threads, thanks!
n-Joie! (Enjoy)
thanks but this is my startup text :
set ramsize 0x10000000
set ramaddr 0x10000000
set mtype 2182
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set cmdline "lcd.density=210 msmvkeyb_toggle=off physkeyboard=raph board-htcraphael-navi.wake=0 gsensor_axis=2,-1,3 acpuclock.force_turbo=1"
boot

so which am i supposed to edit, sorry im a noob lol
& u said that was the one you used,
is it fast?
Actually, I can't use that one because I have an at&t Fuze. If you have a RAPH500, you might want to use the following:
set ramsize 0x10000000
set ramaddr 0x10000000
set mtype 2182
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set cmdline "lcd.density=210 msmvkeyb_toggle=off physkeyboard=raph board-htcraphael-navi.wake=0 gsensor_axis=2,-1,3 pm.sleep_mode=1 acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=XXXXXX"
boot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Where XXXXXX is equal to a value between 600000-640000
Additional note: make sure you type something like 600000 or any value up to 640000
lol thanks im trying to see if theres a difference in speed.
but you used froyo?
is that running fast?
It's running fine with sync and a few other apps running in the background. I would be mindful of livewallpaper and HQ video at the moment as this project is currently still under development, at best. At least that is what I have noticed as far as performance is considered. I have also run a stripped Gingerbread alpha build (the one I linked you to earlier) and it is running faster/smoother than FroYo. To be expected without all the bells and whistles...
NOTE: Speed is relative to performance at the moment. Hence why I say it's still under development...
intresting ill test that out in about 15 mins
but does yours take a long time to come out of sleep mode?
Hmmm, that might be the notorious sleep of death SOD. I usually do something that most don't like but I sort of turn off the screen time out by first making the screen time out greater than 10 or 30 minutes. After that it should make things easier as far as disabling the auto back light/screen timeout feature. Keep in mind this is only a work around, I believe there is mention of actually fixing this issue. You'll need to download a free app called batterybooster (use the link if you want to read up on it a little). Once installed, run it and look for the far right icon and tap it. Set the timeout to Never and you'll notice a decent performance enhancement in the screen off and screen on.
NOTE: You will need to manually turn it off from here-on. You can try to play around with the setting but I find it somewhat problematic. Meaning that if you enable the timeout, it might and it might not work.
alright well i tried the gingerbread and that didnt work it lagged .
i tried froyo , it was amazing then i found out wifi didnt work
so now im back to the regular android one i had before ill be trying to see if theres a difference now that i "overclocked" it .
but thanks for all the help.
ill post back if i need something!
Odd, wifi(wap not wep) works for me... Must be a random occurrence? Have you attempted to update any files and are you using OC? Probably best to stick to a stock-like startup till you get a good feel of most of the basic functions, which may or may not include wifi, gps, 3d and camera; these should be on the "to be worked on" list of things for the devs to complete.

NVM I got the wifi to work now .
Glad to hear about the wifi success story I don't know if I could walk you through that as it seems that wifi can be temperamental ( or just mental )
The only way I could get out of the SOD issue was to try for that work around (setting it to never timeout with the app mentioned) and to set a pattern unlock

well i set it to never timeout and i have a lock pattern
but since it never times out it wont lock .
also now im starting to notice froyo is rebooting for some weird reason automatically .
Calm down, that is kind of "usual behavior" . There are quire a few things going on and the OS is attempting to "handle it". Sometimes it can't and just quits instead of freezing up ( which would be the lesser of two evils ). To get it to lock, you will have to turn it off manually (power button). Unfortunately, I think if the keyboad slides out, it self unlocks (kind of a self defeating purpose, more or less). If you turn the screen off and wait like 10 seconds then turn the screen on (power key), you should see the lock. I can't say for sure but it does work for me. I don't really have much time for troubleshooting today, as I am at work currently but do look over the threads I linked you to earlier if at all possible.
okay so i turned it off using the power button and it booted to windows mobile (odd)
then i tried running haret.exe & got this message:
"The file HARET cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. IF the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring the file."
im not sure what to do.
i tryed reformatting the card and installing fresh files, which didnt work so now im left questioned?
When you say you turned it off, did you hold the button or just press it once? If you pressed it once, then, that is definitly not "usual" behavior. I recall having that issue once upon a time but for the life of me, I don't recall what I did to recover from it. However, it sounds like you are attempting to run from a shortcut that references the program(haret) that is no longer there. To resolve this, I need you to confirm that you are running from the microSD and not a shortcut. Also, you aren't formatting under windows, right? If you are formatting from windows, that would be a "no-no"
Find something like the HP tool (can be googled) that everyone else talks of or even something like the free version of partition wizard should work.
i held the button and it gave me options
1) airplane mode
2)shutoff
3)vibrate
i did try to make a shortcut but i deleted it and now when i checked i was running it from the actual application.
lastly, i did format from windows but i downloaded hp format tool
and formated my device in quick format.
reinstalled the programs and it still gave me the same error message,
please help, i really miss android =(
Try deleting data.img and letting it recreate the file. To clarify about the screen off issue, when you press the power button once (not hold), what does it do? Also, which kernel package are you using and have you attempted to download a newer kernel package yet?
Also, try THIS kernel package; I got it from THIS site. It looks like that kernel package is specific to our devices.
I like many Android users use the the WidgetLocker app for its vast customization, functionality, and practicality. However the one glaring flaw that causes great frustration to many is the fact that it doesn't work well (or at all) with the Android 2.2+ pattern lock. Well after playing around with it and some apps from the Market, I might've found a solution to the problem. It's rigged up, but it works well with a couple of caveats; here are the steps to do it:
1. Obviously make sure WidgetLocker has been downloaded from the market and enabled. Make sure "Appear on boot" is checked in the "Behavior" setting.
2. I have it set on a Custom Timeout, but I'm not sure that'll affect it or not. (Once I got it to work I didn't wanna screw with the settings lol )
3. Under the "Advanced" setting, make sure "HomeHelper Component" is checked and that "HomeHelper's Launcher" and "Select System Home" have been set to the WidgetLocker HomeHelper and your launcher of choice respectively
4. ***For Rooted Users, Make sure "Root Helper" is checked (I also have the last 4 settings checked after "Always unlock to Home" which is under "Root Helper"
5. Once that's completed goto the Market and download a FREE app called "AutoLock" by mooapps
6. Once downloaded and installed, open it, make sure its enabled and set the Automatic lock delay to 10 seconds (This confuses the system lockscreen timer for some reason, but it confuses it long enough to allow WidgetLocker to work properly, but not enough where it overrides the pattern lock)
7. Set your pattern lock to your desired time and enjoy!!!
CAVEATS
- This is clearly not affiliated with TeslaCoil Software lol
- I don't know how to get it to startup automatically when you turn on your phone
- I don't know if this'll work with the pin lock or password
- I don't know if this'll even work for your phone, but I know it works for my Droid X
***If anyone else would like to test this out and add to this thread that'd be awesome or if anyone finds an easier way then by all means share the wealth of knowledge
Hopes this helps all of the frustration with this otherwise great app!!!
[UPDATE!!!] It does do a weird thing when you try to interact with the notification bar, it goes back to the regular lockscreen, BUT you don't have to go through 2 lockscreens to do it
Ok, so I may be a little iffy here.
I have tasker and secure settings w/ helper installed and I'm running the latest version of cleanrom lite.
So in secure settings I have the GPS option enabled via helper and in Tasker I'm able to select it as a misc action.
What I want to do is have it enable GPS when I launch the Map, Nav, or Places application and disable when I leave them. I think I have it set up properly, but my problem is it isn't enabling the GPS. The profile will enable but it won't change the setting.
Any feedback here?
Edit: I found the fix. I feel derpy. For anyone looking to do something similar once you have Secure Settings w/ Helper installed and you go to set the setting in Tasker do not attempt to go Misc - > GPS. It won't work. Instead select Plugin -> Secure Settings -> Configuration and choose GPS. That'll get it working for you just peachy.

I'm rooted, I have Superuser, busybox, secure settings and helper all installed. I have "green circles" at each location in helper indicating that I can change all these things but when i hit "Plugin>secure settings>configuration" I only get the top half of the list...not the bottom half.
can someone help?
Edited to add: found the answer; the right side green check boxes needed to be checked.
Thank you thank you. I've been looking for this fix. love tasker not easy to use though
Thank you!

I've tried this I've set it to enabled and toggle and nothing happens when I open my satnav app waze.
Any ideas
Just as a note : be careful with this particular formula in Tasker. I use it as well, but the problem is if you're using, say, a navigation program. You open it up, Tasker sees it open, enables GPS, everything is right with the world. You're chugging along. You stop at a red light, and... get a text or something, and you tap to see it. As soon as you switch away from the navigation app, even if it's running in the background, Tasker will count that as "exiting" the program, and disable GPS (at least in my experience). Your navigation app will still run in the background but not have GPS to tell you where to go until you bring it to the foreground again.
Can you get Tasker/GPS to work on an un-rooted phone?
No.

Hey guys - searched, didn't find anything.
I'm spending some time overseas for work. I have my phone with me because I use it for a lot of things besides "phone," and anyway I have "wifi calling" when necessary.
But wifi calling doesn't adjust the time, so the clock is way off right now. I cannot figure out how to adjust it, and therefore using the phone as an alarm clock is a challenge. I'm using a countdown timer to wake me up instead...
Is it POSSIBLE to manually set the time? I dug through all the settings and couldn't locate it anywhere.
Thanks in advance!
It seems you are on stock (or hopefully rooted Gingerbread ROM), since you have wifi calling.
It has been a while for me since I ran a gingerbread rom, but if memory serves me right
there should be an option in Settings to adjust date and time. Just un-tick the box that
says something like automatic time update, thus activating the greyed options which allow
you to change the time zone..
If that didn't work, and your phone is rooted, download the free app called ClockSync
which updates your clock. (similar to windows time update server).
Yeah, rolling Valhalla Black. Would love to put ICS but I travel a lot and need the wifi calling.
Like I said, haven't been able to find "date and time settings," but failing anything else I'll look for the app you mention. THX

Well, apparently I am a moron. I went back into the phone and BAM... "date and time settings."
Problem solved. Thanks for the help.
Guys, READ THIS 100% BEFORE MESSING WITH YOUR DEVICE. YOU MUST BE ROOTED TO DO THIS, AND YOU MUST HAVE ELEMENTALX KERNEL INSTALLED. If you do not know what you are doing, what root is, what a kernel is, or how to begin, it's likely best you stop now...with that said... I figured out a way to enable double tap to wake on the pixel that actually works as I have already done it. Visit the following link: (ignore the fact that the thread is about the Note 3. This is an android apk file that works on 7.1, and on the Pixel just fine.) I am using it on my 5" Pixel as I type this even, however, Although I do not think it would have any trouble on the 5.5" Pixel XL, do not hold me to it working on that device, as I have not tested it. USE THIS INFO AT YOUR OWN RISK. I did not create, contribute to, or assist in any part of creating this app, and take no credit for it. The app downloads with a file name of "app-release.apk" (odd I know) but it is in fact the "Kernel Adiutor MOD" app. Once the kernel is installed, and you have RE-RUN THE ROOT METHOD, (which is the boot-to-root.img you should have already done when you rooted your Pixel), then download the app, install it, got to the menu icon at the top left, go to "Misc Controls" toggle the "Apply on Boot" to "On", and the "Toggle SE Linux" to "Off" which changes the status to "Permissive", then reboot, and return to the app where you need to go to the menu, tap "Wake Controls", and toggle the "Apply on Boot" to "On", and "DoubleTap2Wake" to "Halfscreen". It works anywhere on the screen. I tested it multiple times (the double tap that is), but for some reason "Fullscreen" setting will not stick. After doing this, reboot again, and BOOM ! You have double tap to wake !
PLEASE NOTE, AFTER A REBOOT, THE SET ON BOOT NEEDS YOU TO UNLOCK YOUR PHONE AT LEAST ONCE, AND TAKES SOMETHING LIKE 2 MINUTES OR A LITTLE LESS TO APPLY THE SETTING, AND FOR DOUBLE TAP TO BEGIN WORKING, BUT WILL REMAIN WORKING SEAMLESSLY FOR THE DURATION OF THE DEVICE BEING POWERED ON (FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN SO FAR) JUST AN FYI. BEST I CAN GIVE YA GUYS, I SIMPLY FIGURED OUT PART OF THE CONFIGURATION TO MAKE IT WORK. IN THE SETTINGS YOU CAN TURN OFF THE NOTIFICATION IT CREATES AFTER APPLYING THE SETTING IF YOU WANT.
