for this one, go to your gmail account [web] and select "Contacts" and find "More actions" button, under this button..., click "Find & merge duplicates..."
that will take care of your duplicate contact numbers.

I guess google will be your friend ^_^ [hint: search: benefits on rooting android]
Your question about rooting almost applies to all devices and not just this phone alone ^_^
others can add as well...

Download any easy to use system app uninstaller. I used Root Uninstaller, even though it gets kinda buggy sometimes. Back up your apk before uninstalling it, in case something goes wrong and you need it. Also freeze the apk if you think that uninstalling it will cause serious problems.
you can uninstall any bloatware ifyou have any, or other system apps which chomp away at your battery life with their running services. just be careful not to remove anything important.
Download a CPU app which changes your CPU frequency to conserve battery. SetCPU is what I use. SetCPU also provides a pretty detailed explanation to how to use their apk on their website. While you're at it, you can download an overclocking apk as well if you think it lags sometimes when you play games or have alot apps running.
I use the apk, Milestone Overclock. It is simple and works.
This is what I've done after rooting, just giving a few suggestions.

Thanks....Can we increase our app memory? Can I install more than 175mb?

For the app memory problem, download any kinda app that has the keyword APP 2 SD/ Apps2sd. Theres several free apps out there that can do this, and paid apks floating around the internet as well. This is just one of them: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.a0soft.gphone.app2sd&hl=en
It moves your applications into your SD so that you can free up your internal phone storage. The downside of that is sometimes if you connect phone to your usb, you will have no access to the apk on your phone.
ex. if you move texting app to SD, when your computer has access to USB, the cannot work.
So, just move accordingly. Not really much of a big deal.

Hello
Just checked. App 2 Sd is incmpactable with my Milestone XT 720
Now, how rooting or any app help can help me?
P.s - I am sorry to keep bugging u. I hope, m in compliance with forum rules

App2SD only works in 2.2 or higher. I think you're running the stock 2.1 with root? If so, look for an app called Link2SD. You will have to partition your SD card with an additional FAT partition, but otherwise it's very similar to App2SD (it's actually superior in many respects, really).

Thankyou. Yea...All Milestone XT 720 are 2.1 . I have installed Link2SD...Now, how to create partition? Btw, is rooting important for this app n procedure?

search for reverendkjr on youtube and watch his videos. there is a step by step video for almost every question you have asked.

Hello, I have tried looking up for that video by reverendkjr...but couldnt find. Can u plz give me the link

Read my thread this will help you. Androidiani has an option to remove the camera click.
Also reverend is a valued member of this forum and his videos have helped all of us. Please refrain from calling something you dont understand fishy.

You can get rid of the camera click sound by going into /system/media/audio/ui and delete the camera_click.oog file or rename it to something else (like .goo) so you don't have to delete it.
Obviously make backups before doing this though.

Added latest version 0.9.0 So far you can download it from google play, but if google will remove it, you can download uploaded apk
2012.06.14 SEEMS THAT GOOGLE REMOVED FROM PLAY STORE.
TESTED ON GALAXY NOTE, GALAXY S3 AND IT IS WORKING.

Downloading and trying with SGS2.

atm faced up with this issue "a MAJOR CPU hog AFTER it has been closed. I understand it using a large amount of CPU during its activity.. but after i exit it continues to keep CPU at 100% until i reboot... "" but if you want to use this app and dont want to have this issue- you will need to make reboots after you have used that app.

If you download it might me cool to mirror the APK. I predict this is removed within 2 days by Google

yeh ok no problem i think also, google will remove it

Looks interesting, gonna give it a try. But why does it require so much SD space?

It doesn't work for me. And I also had the huge cpu usage after closing the app until I restarted the phone.

I have a suggestion. You know how the WifiKiller app is able to detect the card manufacturer? For e.g. "Apple Computer" would show up with the ipaddress? Is it possible to implement something like this

This app seems nice but I second that!

hmm guys....any other ways of stopping it from using max CPU after you close the app besides restarting the phone.
tried force closing the app but my cpu still stays at max.

This runs a debian image background. It uses it to do the actions.

Sir,
You are creating a real evil software.
Congratulations for that!!

OP: I'm a network administrator and someone showed me this and I don't understand how it works.. how do I prevent people from doing this sort of thing on my network? Pretty sure this is on the same lines as WifiKill if I'm correct? The device use arp and pretends to be the router?

a kernel or something else for ram speed!

i want a kernel or something else for xperia e single to high speed of my ram! i think its 512mb! please give me something!! please!!!!!!

please answer anyone

This could mean two things: or you want to make your RAM faster which is impossible, or you want more RAM.
You do realise RAM is hardware? Data gets loaded in and processed super fast. When you want to drink water, you put it in a glass. See RAM as your glass. The data(applications) need something to be in for them to work.
Now, you can't increase the amount of real RAM. Yes, you could remove your motherboard from the phone and try to lime a 2 GB DDR3 stick to it. Chances are this won't work.
What you could use is something called swap. You create a partition on your SD card and let your phone use it as RAM. The problem here is that even a class 10 SD card doesn't have the speed of RAM. So it won't do much and your SD card will be burnt up quickly.
Simple answer: you can't get the kernel because it's not possible. Zeus supports swap though.

Only you can change the "title post."
It is not possible. Let's try to explain it to you again.
The RAM inside our phones is fixed permanently to its inside parts. You can't change it, make it better, or do anything with it.
@MatsPunt The chipset is very old. I'm pretty sure DDR3 won't work.

As MatsPunt said, the best thing you can do is use a kernel like Zeus which has swap and/or zRAM support. These will give a teeny meeny boost.
Also, try apps like Greenify to free RAM.

1. Download Greenify from Play Store.
2. Open the app.
3. It may ask for root permissions. If it does, at any point of time, give it root.
4. Tap the "+" sign and then choose an app to be Greenified.
Repeat step 4 for all apps you want to Greenify. These apps will now consume memory only when opened.
WARNING: Don't Greenify Hangouts, WhatsApp, Gmail and such because when you Greenify something, you stop getting notifications (like messages etc) from it.

Yup.
Only annoying thing is this - you chat with someone on pc and when you enable wifi/internet on the phone, you instantly get bombed by all messages you received durning the time you were on pc.
Other than that, everything works properly

Of course it's important if a tablet is being used by a parent & his kids! or other scenarios.

Looks simplistic, needs evaluation but I find it easy to configure as compared to much cluttered interface ofnetguard app which I use. Plz provide promo code. thanks in advance.

I see. However, there's nothing stopping them from uninstalling the app, or clearing its data, or disabling the VPN permission, or many other ways to bypass such a password if they really wanted.

Digital Wellbeing apps

Hi!
I'm new here and I'm developer. Unfortunately, I can't post my app to XDA: DEVDB yet. But I can ask the community something at least.
I'm working on the app for Digital Wellbeing. The goal of the app the same as for all digital wellbeing apps. To reduce mindless smartphone usage.
So, my questions are:
1. Do you use any Digital Wellbeing apps?
2. What are these apps? App Blockers? Screen time stats?
3. Do you think screen time and all that Digital Wellbeing stuff are important?
Thanks,
UPDATED:

Yes we use digital wellbeing app to limit our screen time...
Can your app function like one plus zen mode??

The app is a bit different. The main idea is to ask the user to type a reason after every phone unlock. By doing this user defines a goal before using the phone.
What do you think about it?

Q1. is it open source?
Q2. can it work without google or gapps?
Q3. dark mode presnt?
Q4. Root/non root
Q5. when it will release?
pls provide link after release
Best Wishes frm me.

The concept is very good!!!
Implementation is a bit disappointing...
Saw some reviews on ps...
App doesn't always start by itself,, sometimes late,,,
That dismiss option..... ?
But keeping in mind it is still in early stages,,, it is doing its job well
Lastly keeping the app open in background, how much battery does it consume...
N if possible, make a root version too for force implementation...
Nice work though
Keep it up

To reduce mindless smartphone usage.I am currently using app-forest,This is a really great app.
