What value is everybody running?
Sent via Tapatalk with VictoryRom_v1.1
100mb
Are low values supposed to speed up the system? I'm seeing conflicting reports all over the web.
Sent via Tapatalk with VictoryRom_v1.1
Im not sure, but i know alot of people i believe prefer 85mb and say it runs good. I just decided to try 100mb a few months ago and have been running it ever since.
Hmm...thanks. I'm running it at 42m. The keyboard is not always a fluid as I'd like. It sometimes hesitates after I type a character. I'm wondering if changing the value would help.
Sent via Tapatalk with VictoryRom_v1.1
I've been running at 64m and it runs great. If you use ROM Toolbox it is easy to change it an you can find which setting works best with your setup. I don't think you can brick your phone playing with the heap size.

Thanks. That's just what I needed to hear. I've changed it to 64m. We'll see how it goes. My keyboard hesitated twice during this post so it didn't fix that. (3x now). It sticks after a letter. Like freezes before the letter is displayed. (4x). Hopefully I notice an improvement in the overall responsiveness. (6x by the end of this post)

That sounds like a touch issue to be honest, ive never had an issue with my stock keyboard at all....smooth as butter
Sent from my MB865 using Tapatalk 2 Beta-5
So I just did a test in my favorite editor to see if the stock keyboard has the same issue. To my surprise the stock keyboard works just fine. In fact BOTH keyboards worked flawlessly. Its only when I use tapatalk that the issue occurs (in both keyboards). :banghead:

Interesting point. I'm not sure I'm seeing a difference. The only reason I brought this topic up is because I was in ROM Toolbox and I accidentally changed the value. If I'm not mistaken it was set to zero to begin with. Probably a build tweak from Victory ROM? Isn't the android default 32m?

64m runs fine for me :/

Um...what exactly is this heap thing? I'm fairly familiar with everything else, but I'd like to know what it actually does...?
The way I understand it is Dalvik is the software that runs the apps and the heap is the amount of RAM allocated to that process. Somebody please correct me if that's not right.
Sent via Tapatalk with VictoryRom_v1.1
The reason I started this thread was to start a discussion about Dalvik cache sizes in general and also to see if adjustment would fix my hesitating keyboard (only seems to happen in Tapatalk app). I'm using Gingerbread keyboard from the Play Store. I just dumped Tapatalk in favor of XDA's version of the app and guess what? No more hesitation. Has anybody else experienced this? I guess it doesn't much matter now that Tapatalk 2 is almost out of beta. BTW that failed to launch for me altogether. Sorry about all the side bar talk. Now back to our regularly scheduled program. Dalvik VM Heap Size. How big is yours? lol

Default for the A2 is 42m.
Straight from build.prop:
Code:
This is a high density device with more memory, so larger vm heaps for it.
Performance increases are definitely gained by larger heap sizes, but if you make it too big the A2 will run out of memory and start swapping. Here's a good brief read: http://droidgram.com/forum/8-Android-Dalvik-VM-Heap-Size
If anyone wants to experiment with changing the heapsize and taking linpack/antutu benchmarks, feel free .

I've been messing around with values ranging from about 50m to 72m... currently at 58m which seems pretty good.

IIRC it's a "feature" that's enabled on the touchscreen controller itself, nothing we can enable or disable through easy software means...
At least the time has been slightly increased from the 20seconds of the Atrix 1. I count 30 seconds for the Atrix 2.
Looks like someone figured out how:

This won't work for us. We don't have the touchscreen files in the same location as the old atrix. Not sure, but it may need to be fixed with kernel tweaks... Samsung phones have a similar problem called "ghost touch". See here for their solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1554540

After much discussion here, I decided to flash this on my Sonya V4 Atrix 2, even though I didn't need to. Well I tested it with some multi-touch tester apps and it did work for me. I didn't experience any rain drop effects or bugs after the 15-30 secs window. I think it should stay here since its a mod that work on my Atrix 2. YMMV.

Well, shoot, I guess I'll eat my words... Maybe I just don't understand enough about this phone yet, but that zip only installs a touchpad.cfg file in the /system/etc/touchpad/22 folder.. which we do not have (at least I don't... does SonyaV4 have that file?).. And, if you read through that thread, people have just replaced their own .cfg files through root explorer instead of flashing the zip. So, again.. I don't get it. (did you do the same test before flashing that zip? - just checking, does the A2 even have the raindrop protection? And, why is this even a feature, who uses their phones in the rain anyway??)

JRW put a set of them together here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1449631&highlight=1+battery+mod
Also, yes, they are included in most all of the available roms, as well as some additional mods have been posted within the rom threads (i know i put some together for Victory rom, cause it wasn't showing 1% increments and that dev posted his rom and left the country or civilization...).
Note that they are only for deodexed roms at this point (due to the services.jar edits required)

Well I don't know what you guys did, but I tested that zip file as well, using Dotty and Mutitouch Vis Test before and after, and it did nothing for me. Still bugs out and doesn't register both fingers after 30 seconds or so until I tap a bunch of times, then it comes back to normal, then bugs out again in another 30 seconds. I double checked, and it definitely installed the new config file in /system/etc.. but no change. I'm deleting the new folders...
EDIT: Also, it definitely doesn't register 5 fingers, as the mod apparently is also supposed to do.. and read this from the mod developer (it's kinda what i said earlier):http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22076100&postcount=49

Overall I'm definitely loving this phone
One thing I've noticed is that in a dark room this phone is ridiculously bright on auto
And that the high level of brightness are causing a little bit of color washout
Swype worked initially, I switched keyboards and then switched back now it shows up half the size it should be
(Another thing I hadn't realized is how many apps wouldn't be coded for ics yet, looking for native ics app suggestions)
(Also is there a way to make the battery in the notification bar have a percentage)
Is anyone else having these issues?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
I agree with you on the brightness. Once we have the bootloader unlocked there are ways to change the auto brightness sensitivity. Same with the battery %.
The swype issue is an issue with the swype beta. I have already posted on their forums reporting the bug.
As for apps, they're being updated for ICS slowly but surely. Be patient

Actually the default keyboard is swipe enabled. I actually like it better because the auto correct seems to be more accurate. It had its flaws but it is great for swipe and touch typing whereas swype sucks for touch typing.

Just an fyi, if you use notification toggles, you get not only the toggles but you can also set the app icon in the status bar to show battery with percent . It's kinda a bandaid for now but it works for me till we can get some custom Rom goodness.

I'm trying to install the CleanROM 3.0 Wallpaper and any time that I do, it crops it and turns all pixelated. I've noticed this with any wallpaper I try to set that's not a system wallpaper.. is there any way to fix this??
I'm currently Running CleanROM DE 3.1
but i've noticed this on pretty much every ROM i've ran
here is the wallpaper
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27624455&postcount=24
I've actually spent yesterday figuring out how to do this in a super roundabout way.
I put the wallpapers I want into CleanROM 3.0 SE ROM itself. I edited the ROM zip file with 7-zip, inserted the background I wanted in the correct location and performed a full data wipe. Then I flashed it to the phone.
And walla, it works... I now have the 2 wallpapers I want in full resolution.
I'm sure there is an app that can put a full resolution wallpaper in your phone for you. I just never looked... lol
We had a similar problem with the HP Touchpad and a guy made an app on the play store to remedy it (here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwxLDEsImNvbS5raGFubmluZy50cHdwYXBwbGllciJd)
Unfortunately it only works with the Touchpad's resolution, though if someone made an app to support our resolution then it would work fine.
Just resize it when you select the wallpaper. Touch the opposing corners on the crop box and drag to make it bigger.

I've been using Zedge to set my wallpaper. When I set it through the app, it doesn't seem to lose quality, but if I try setting it through Sense from the downloaded picture, it does lose some quality.
Look up "dodol wallpaper" in the playstore. I set some pretty damn high quality photos as my wallpaper. Always amazes people!
I use an app call wallpaper set and save. It will keep the resolution of the image you are setting as the wallpaper.
WARNING:
Using this mod may decrease battery life, decrease screen life and/or quality, cause overheating, cause your phone to blow up or cause other damage to your phone. Use at your own risk. I am not responsible for any damage this mod causes to your phone.
This Mod will increase the max brightness of your phone by about 10%.
Note:
Auto Brightness must be turned off for this to work.
Root is required for this Mod.
Instructions:
Download and run app attached to this post.
Or. ..
echo 1 > /sys/class/backlight/panel/auto_brightness
If you reboot or enable auto brightness you have to run it again.*
The best way to tell if it worked would be to run it when your screen is already at full brightness. You'll see it go a bit brighter.
Tested on T-Mobile Note II, but this may work in many Samsung Galaxy phones.
It worked!
Could you tell me why it can be increase?
And do you know how many nit when increased?

I don't know and I have no idea.
My guess is that when auto brightness is enabled Samsung allows the device to go a bit brighter in direct sunlight. This Mod seems to half way enable auto brightness so that the screen goes brighter but doesn't enable the light sensor.

By this logic we should keep the brightness at 20 percent. The brighter it gets the faster the quality decreases in the long run.
I can guarantee one thing: when you'll change your device, this screen mod will not be one of the reasons.

Using tasker to run the program at boot its the way to go. The problem is you have to run the program every time you activate auto brightness. Solution to both problems: use perseus kernel. It includes this mod.
