(Fix) Downloads for Music apps and faster 3G

PLEASE READ L-E-T-T-E-R FOR L-E-T-T-E-R, W-O-R-D FOR W-O-R-D.
As we all know, HTC and Sprint borked downloads for apps like Rhapsody, Mog, Thumbplay.
I recently ran across the subject and i found a fix. It is very simple.
1. Get your MSL, There are many ways, call Sprint, Download the app MSL Reader from the market, CDMA workshop
2. After you have your MSL go to your phone and type ##3282#
3. Click Edit Mode
4. Click Advanced
5. Scroll down to HTTP PD Proxy Port & HTTP PD Proxy Address
6. Change HTTP PD Proxy Port to 0 (zero)
7. Change HTTP PD Proxy Address to 0.0.0.0
8. Go enjoy Downloads and a .20-.60 mbps increase in 3G speeds!
-All credit to original finder of this fix, i am just passing it along and found the speed increase. Also when you flash a new rom it will back to old settings so remember to re-apply and it wont make you more vulnerable to anything.

Sweet! lets see how it works

SWEET!!!!
Dude.. that has to be one of greatest finds. My dn went from .46 to 1.23 mps on 3g
Appreciate the info.

Mine went from 1.9 to 2.3

i love you lol, in a friendly way

dumb question but how do i get to edit modei don't see an option after the ##3282#? got my msl and i'm on the miui rom.... does this only work on sense roms? i've tried using dialer one from the market as well

This also worked for me ;-)

Does what the OP says it does, I ran 5 speed test before the fix and after and averaged them:
Download before (avg): 0.22
Download after (avg): 0.49
Upload before (avg): 0.27
Upload after (avg): 0.32

I did this fix and my speeds did increase. However, evertime I boot the evo I have 2 notifications that both say DRM Notification. I touch them to try to see what they are and they just disappear. Anybody else getting this?

Is there a method to do this on an ASOP Rom such as CM1.6.2 or CM7

Curious as to why this works? Not flaming at all just like to know the how and why of mods.

[TOOL] SpareParts (Compcache and CPU settings working)

Hello All,
I am not de developer of this app, but I find it very usefull and wanted to share it. Its called SpareParts and people that have had previous android phones are probably familiar with it.
However, I never found it in any Xperia X10 rom, and everytime I tried to install one from the internet, it just wouldn't work, or didn't include some of the most interesting settings of this app.
Basically SpareParts is a system tweaker, and lets you change a variety of settings which makes it a very handy tool.
I recently found one which included Compcache and CPU settings that worked fine on my X10.
For those who don't know, enabling compcache allows android to compress RAM and results in overall better performance.
It also has working CPU settings (As you may know, most CPU control apps available are unreliable with the X10).
In my case, I used to have ramdom reboot problems , specially when I was heavy using the phone (ie, playing asphalt and streaming music at the same time) and after enabling compache with this app the issue went away.
Also, it allows you to lower the CPU speed without affecting the phone performance too much, so it definitively helps to save a lot of battery.
Anyone willing in to give it a try, here is the link, i suggest setting Swapines to 15 after enabling compache:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7864538/SpareParts-4.apk
The phone seems to be more smooth, but may be a placebo effect.
Please give it a try and share your results.
BTW I am using CM 6.1.1 ROM Tweaked and with extras with custom Sysctl settings posted in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=929448
PS.
You may also want to try changing the animation speed to fast (under original spareparts settings). The phone will feel a lot faster

Hmmm interesting, but I can't seem to use it to turn off some of the status bar stuff.

Some of the settings will not work. Maybe a dev can mod the app and just leave the working settings. This version of the app was modded for another device.

I'm on wolfbreak's cm v 4.4 and this definitely made the phone.snappier...
I had to uninstall the original spare parts before installing this one or the compcache setting wouldn't stay after a reboot.
Thanks for this!

would not be fully functional since we are not allowed custom kernals

Sweet!
Thank you! This does have a lot more capabilities than the regular spare parts!!! Will tweek it and give feed back!!!
Best regards,
Chris

I see you are using 2.1 ROM. I am not sure if it will work in 2.1. I only tested it in 2.2. However, some of the settings are specific for the device this app was originally made for so they won't work for us (ie the status bar tweaks).

If you want to change the status bar options you can use CM settings.

Hey, I just installed this version of spare parts and now my phone doesnt go to sleep when I press the power button. I have reverted back to original compache settings and default 60 swapines, rebooted and uninstalled. Please help

App for double-tap-Home-button-to launch app for ICS LPY roms?

this is the one function I really miss with LPY. In fact its such a big deal for me I'm not switching to ICS just so I can have the double-tap-home-button functionality!
Is there a corresponding mod or app I can use for this, in the LPY roms?

There's Advanced Home Button that I used to use on my SGS1
You can give it a shot

More than likely will not work

yeah reading the reviews looks like a lot of people have problems with it. anybody tried with any of the LPY roms yet? Could you let us know if it worked if you've tried it on the ICS LPY roms? thanks in advance!

the other one to try is this app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1299923
can somebody try and lemme know if this works on LPY?

what do you mean double tap home? Im on LPY ics and when I double tap my home button the Voice talk starts up. I swear when I was GB it did the same thing with the Tap & Speak or say "Hi Galaxy".

yeah actually thats what I was wondering exactly. with double-tap home button I tried Criskelo's ICS and nothing happens. COuld you try that homemyhome app I posted above and see if it is able to replace the Vilingo/Voice Talk app, to start up a different app?
ps. please do necessary backups first

I would love to help with that but unfortunately I did not go with the rooted method for LPY, at the time it seemed a little too risky. I did try to install anyway but of course without success as it shows there is an apk with the same signature

think you've to uninstall the Vilingo/Voice Talk app for that to work. thanks for trying anyway.

[REQ] Long press back button to close foreground app?

Can someone make me a flashable zip for this or know where I can get one? Ever since I updated to Clean Rom 6R2 I really miss it since kindacrapmods doesnt work.

It says it does, but launcher stays locked in memory, so it doesn't effect anything, but you get the toast message.
The code changed in 4.1.2 so the kindacrap way doesn't work on the newer ROMs. I don't know of anyone working on this, as menu works the same (you just lose the half @ss 'search' function) and multi window should be coming...
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

I know coding has changed in the new update since kinda crap. What I was trying to say was just to see if he can decompile it and look at it to compare the differences. Who knows, what needs to be changed might just stick out to him and may be any easy fix. Just an idea...

trust me man, like I said I want this MORE than anyone, this is my favorite MOD and is drives me NUTS I can't get it...
I don't like using Menu any more than you but it's better than nothing, right?
Yes, I have tried diffing the code MANY times, can't get it bro. My smali skills are limited, I am going to try and get some outside help though.

[ROM] Slim Sense to GE/AOSP 4.2.2

This ROM is meant to be the slimmest ROM possible built on top of Sense. I've tried to strip out everything that isn't needed to reduce it down to the minimum amount. I've also made it a mix between GE/AOSP and Sense. To help get maximum battery (and better looks imo) I've swapped the SystemUI.apk out to tyler's GE on Sense SystemUI.apk.
I'm also trying to set it up so both GE and Sense apps can be used and you can choose which you want.
Every app which works on the stock HTC one firmware works fine here.
Currently as the ROM stands it is:
Under 400MB (it's about 380MB).
Uses Trebuchet launcher from CM
Stripped out a bunch of Sense/HTC Bloatware (pretty much anything i found non-essential)
Uses AOSP Lockscreen (auto unlocks for calls, allows widgets)
Has both HTC Camera/Gallery and GE Camera/Gallery
Has both HTC Clock and GE Clock
The only google app installed by default is the playstore, as the rest can be downloaded from it
Known Bugs
After completing the Setup you need to open settings -> click mobile data -> Access Point Names-> and then select your APN
3G/LTE/4G Icons do not show, you still get LTE (you may need to download an App from playstore to enable LTE, any that let you access the phone settings should work such as this one)
Only the GE Phone Works (It makes and receives calls fine)Sense Phone can't place calls (the app fully functions but doesn't make calls, need to find a way to fix this still, if anyone knows how to please let me know)
Currently battery percentage in the status bar isn't working
Feel free to ask any quests/indicate any bugs and i'll try looking into them when I get time.
Version 1.1 Fixed the bug where when incoming calls were answered nobody could be heard
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To hide duplicate the icon from your app drawer, open the drawer, click the menu overflow, click trebuchet settings, click drawer, and then click hide apps. The duplicates exist to give a choice between Sense and GE versions

First. ...I've always wanted to do this.
On a diff note. Seems like an interesting concept.

second! very good!!!
can I know where I can find the zip for this MOD: "Uses Stock Lockscreen (auto unlocks for calls, allows widgets)"

It's not a zip. It's just part of the rom. It's already been setup.

Going to load this up over the weekend. Any chance of working in the CM10 theming framework at some point or is that not possible when based on Sense?

Xtheme Engine themes work with GE

This is exactly what i do with any Sense ROM i install anyway. I go to Titanium backup and spend a half hour uninstalling all the crap thats not needed to strip it right down so that the only things left that HTC stuff are the IR blaster since i lost the remote to my TV, and the camera functionality. I always use the codex sound mod instead of beats anyhow too. This awesome! Perfect!

Does it use stock kernel?

Been running for a day now and haven't found anything wrong with this. Works great. Will run a little longer to report on battery life. So far I'm enjoying the experience. If we could just get everything in the status bar working that'll be great. Looking forward to seeing the progress.

Ugh.. I was super hyped about this ROM until I read this. I have too many people call me and this wouldn't be cool at all.
There is no known fix for this? I cant imagine everyone using CM would be cool with this issue.

Need to keep this alive.
Anyone else confirm the call bug? So the sense dialer doesn't work.. i could care less about that. Just as long as the GE dialer is there and takes calls.
