Develop Bugs

5 things you want to see on Bada!

Hey there!
NOTE- IF THIS THREAD WAS NOT MEANT TO BE HERE, YOU ARE FREE TO MOVE IT ANYWHERE OR DELETE IT!
This thread is for me to know what features you want on the next version of Bada?
Here is mine:
Support for Android Apps
Free Voice Navigation
Voice commands
Overclocking Mod
A Better keyboards which can be skinned!
Tell me what do you want to see!

omg "Support for Android Apps" this is an awesome idea! Will this be possible? would be nice to hear what the devs tinking about it.
it's only that apps thing bada 2.0 seems to have everything i want...

Android apps supporting and Overclocking Mod

Better keyboards which can be skinned and android apps supporting

More useful apps
A better sound in 5.1 mode (bada 2.0 is bad, 1.2 was perfect)
No lags
Music recognition (not aviable in 2.0 beta ??)
More modifications with themes (not only wallpaper, icons and color of buttons..)

>> Support for Android Apps
Well, Bada is Bada, Android is Android. Both technically different. This is going to be never hapenning. If you want Android applications, use Android. Even if someone writes an compatibilty-layer, it will never be as if you'd be using Android.
Mine:
* More features for camera and foto-editor
* Ability to re-use apps already installed on SD after full flash
* Less battery usage (though it improved with each Beta, currently doing nothing sucks about 19% on mine, which would be 5 days, 2 days with real-life usage, which is 1 day more compared to all my IPhone-using friends)
* SHP by default
* Java apps in main menu

And what will you do with all those ideas Mr. bangalorerohan ?
For now it's just moaning, and giving false hope.
I like joel's ideas, and I have to say that the purple color in menu is awful.
I think, that we simply don't need Android apps, and porting Dalvik to Bada won't be possible in near future.
There is however one thing that I would like to se: any VOIP app, and of course Skype would be the best.

Chief, I just wanted to know what users are expecting! Just as simple as that! Maybe some DEV will have a look at his and comeout with all such features! The android port to bada also started like this! Ya' Know!
And regrading the Android App suppourt! I, myself, am a Android and Bada user. So, I think Android's got apps which maybe helpful to Bada. FOr example,
Titanium Backup(an app) can be used to backup all the apps while FW upgrades
Root Explorer can be used to access system files
Many android games are too cool and addictive
You can edit many photos with many photo-editing apps and all! You See!

[Q] New to SGW, need advices and help

I just bought this device and i want to know whats the best custom ROM for this phone, as well as if custom roms are provide bugs that can lessen the use of the phone. And what applications SHOULD i use to be able to use this phone on its full potential not only on gaming but also on overall(like what application to avoid lags, etc. etc.) and if its not too much pls provide links on where i can download the adviced applications safely. thanks i already use the search button but all the things i searched are not exactly what i want to know thats why i made a new thread for my question. thanks

What's the best custom ROM?
This is an awkward question. All custom ROMs are good and this depends on ur personal preference. I would say CM9 will be the best if all the bugs fixed.
If u wan to have its full performance, ROOT it. There are lots and lots of apps for root users, so u should try them out urself. ROMtoolbox will give u a good control of a rooted SGW.
In short, trying and learning are the best ways.

True words. There is not THE ROM out right now in my opinion, so I would advice you to start of with stock and root access. Than once you familiar with it and still not satisfied, start with the first custom ROM.
CM9 is really awesome, but the camera doesnt work and has a few bugs. Here again, it depends on your personal requirments, some badly need there camera, some don't mind.
With Apps it is pretty much the same. You have to go and search for your personal requirments. Maybe I'll make later a list for you with my recommended apps.

i see, i'm still on the way on experimenting this stock rom and i'm contented for now. i'm not on hard core gaming and i just want this phone to run games just decently like temple run, and i also want to know why do people overclock to improve the 1.4ghz to 1.6ghz? does it really matter? i mean its the processor that makes the difference as far as i know even if it improves its still be the same because it has only single processor right? and thanks THE-E i read almost all of your post and i thank you for trying to make a list of recommendations

yeah i got it, thanks i just want to know on whats the advantage of using custom rom rather than staying on custom rom that has minimum bugs, and yeah i believe that what you and THE-E says is right that its up on me to try things on and experiment until i reach what i really want thanks, i just need some guidance from you guys and hope to talk you with a bit more

Custom ROM may have customized kernel, different way of multitasking which "should" improve phone performance. Other thing like deodexed, zipaligned which should improve the speed of the ROM.
Some other obvious mods like
1. customized framework-res which gives u a better appearance
2. extended power menu which let u have more options like reboot
3. toggles buttons on status bar which works similar to extended menu
...and more
However, quite a lot of ppl still stick to stock ROM as its overall performance is still very good.
For example, I am using Cow V2, when playing temple run, it is a bit laggy; while my gf is using stock ROM, temple run is running smoothly w/o any lagging.

i see, i really should stay on stock for a while and try all things before i try custom roms, thanks for the explanations i appreciate it

also i do want to know how good this camera can be and the videos, as far i as i tested its just normal and gives a decent quality for me, or is it not? can you guys say your thoughts about its features if its worth it or not.

Generically why dun you google it at youtube....plenty of video previews.
I bought my first android after going thru the previews at the same channel.
The reason I bought the SGW was due the fact....
. The price is reasonable
. The CPU speed is fast
. And of course ICS CM9 by a Developer whose ROM I had used before on my first Android
Just to add too I never went thru a video preview before deciding on purchase.
And to my suprise four of my friends bought the same....coz they knew what I could do with it...

i did actually, but honestly what i saw on youtube reviews are all pros and no cons, i mean they just show how good it was but when a real user posts his/her experience then there comes the cons. thats why i want to know what on real other users. in some forums they say that the camera fails as well as the video and i just want to confirm it, in gaming i know its not the best coz of the single processor but i somehow want it because im not into hardcore gaming.

Have a simple question what is the phone model ur r using rite now ?

im using the same phone you are using mate and i think i just need to do it step by step to know personally what things are not decent on this phone. thanks for the reply i got 1 more question mate, do changing the ROM can really improve the performance of the phone? i mean its only customized right? what things do you like on that CM9? some says they use Cow, whats the difference?

All the ROMS here are based on Gingerbread n using the very same kernel created by arco68 n some of the kernels have been modified.
If you wanna know the full capability of the SGW I suggest you try CM9 ICS which is the only IceCream Sandwich made...still in Alpha Release n modifications still being carried out...
Where is your originated country ? BTW ?

So here is my personal must have Applist:
- Skype (free video telephoning)
- WhatsApp (free messaging service)
- Wikipedia Mobil or Wapedia(better widgets)
- Dolphin Browser (Fullscreen Browsing and much more funktions)
- GoLauncher (very intuitive, but needs performance)
- GoDialer (customize as you wish)
- GoSMS (cool SMS-App with iPhone skin)
- CubedPlayer (best looking MP3-Player on earth(with the right settings))

These Apps are good for performance.
JuiceDefender improves the performance of the batter life.
Gemini App Manager lets you block autostarts of Apps and more.
NoMedia let you set the folders with media, this will save time for the start up and also safe battery, because the media scanner does not search all directories.
RAM Mananger Pro optimises the RAM management, this improves the performance of my SGW a lot. But most probably you will not need this, if you use CM9 or other custom ROMs.

[TIPS] Making ICS Better [Still in Construction]

Introduction.
In P350, we have little RAM, and everybody knows that. I'm constructing this thread to try maximize the performance on ICS.
The First Tip -> Gapps.
As we all know, in each version of Android, Gapps size is increased. In Froyo, Gapps like Google Maps and others really slowed the phone to the point of hacking it to improve performance. In Gingerbread, in most of ROM's, it wasn't a BIG problem. But in Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean, Gapps are landing direct hits on performance overall, because of 3 reasons:
It's size is now very BIG;
It has some unknown background apps that eats RAM;
Now the Gapps are consuming memory, CPU and GPU.
As a effect, some Devs and p350 users are searching a way to improve performance. But some problems occur in the way, like low memory RAM, discussions on thread and some others. So I'm giving the first TIP.
DO NOT USE FLASH GAPPS.
You are now asking yourself : "What the Hell are you saying Dark?"
I answer, it's very simple. Most of the Android Users (Yes, not only P350) do not use half of the installed apks. Saying by other words, Android users flash and don't use 50% or more of Gapps, so unknown apps are installed and are kept in phone. And most of the users only flash Gapps because they want them installed for nothing, without knowing what these apps are doing in background. To finish, a big part of New Android users only use Google Play. So, how we clear this?
DOWNLOAD THE DESIRED GAPPS FROM GOOGLE PLAY.
If you use some Gapps to work or any other reason, like Google Mail and Youtube, you might consider downloading then instead of flashing. But now you are asking yourself: "What is the difference?". I answer why downloading is better thant flashing them:
A great part of ROM's (if not all), do not need Gapps to work, so you can only download Google Play, setting your account on phone and start hunting the apps you use;
Because of this, you has an Greater control of deciding what app you need and want to install;
Unknown apps will not be installed on your phone;
No background apps active -> More RAM -> Better performance!
Now you have a better performance than before.
The Second Tip -> Uninstall what you don't use.
Yes, in every version of ICS the most worry of users is : "RAM is good on this ROM?", because little RAM, poor performance. In some versions, like ConnectMod betas, the RAM is very poor, according to dodo1255 . How to solve this problem?
UNINSTALL SYSTEM APPS.
Some ROM's come with unnecessary apps, and they consume your memory, both internal and RAM. To Advanced users:
Extract ROM, go to system/apps and delete manually the undesired apps.
To basic users, do this:
Download Root Uninstaller or Root Uninstaller Pro;
Open it and Search some apps that you don't use and uninstall them.
Attention: Before making anything make a Backup first! And, do not try this if you are New on Android world. If you want to do this, first search on net about this and what apps you can uninstall.
I'm not responsible for bricked devices, suicide, getting fired at your work because alarm app failed, or your mama kamikazing herself instead of jumping parachute because you didn't call her and tell what airplane to catch on airport. You decided of making these modifications. If you point your finger at me, I'll laugh of you.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Some people just do this and get an improved performance, but if you want to go further.
The Third Tip -> Overclock and Swap.
Yep, it's a basic tip this one. But be aware of the limit of the overclocking in the respective kernel, and what's the most stable frequency on that ROM. And if you're planning Swap your ROM, do not use apps like Swapper, they do not help because they runs in background. Search and you'll find good tips on how to do it.
The Fourth Tip -> Download some optimizer apps.
Yes, i'm recomending because of other things that they can do. But do not install:
Apps that kills other apps, like task managers. They do not improve performance and really increase the number of Force Closes on your phone;
Apps that creates a big amount of cache;
You can install apps like:
Auto Memory Manager and RAM Manager Pro - Can help on improving performance;
AnTuTu CPU Master Pro - With some settings it helps on performance and battery;
Zdbox or other that cleans cache - Cleans your phone to a better level of performance.
The Fifth Tip -> Smoothing your phone in a easy manner.
This tip was suggested by gogyly.
This app, Seeder, was created by lambgx02 to reduce lags and to improve even better Any Rom. In the thread you can find more specifications.
I tested and works flawlessy, it's very good, a must-have app for us now.
Seeder
The Sixty Tip ->A GREAT Replacement for Google Play.
This tip is for those that only use Google Play when flash gapps. It's a custom market called 1Mobile Market. It's UI is like Google Play, feature the hottest apps for free (I found GTA Vice City to download here), you can log in with your google account and has a really amount of apps. I'm current using and is very good.
Link for download -> 1Mobile Market
Doubt of every ICS user ->Why my phone is having low battery fast?.
It's because of tweaks. Yeah, TWEAKS MAKE THE BATTERY LAST A FEW HOURS. I concluded this when i moved myself of ICS from my Genesis. They are almost equal on performance (with over my one reaches close , going to 2203 and ICS with stock freq. 2230). And, ironically, the two wastes battery even when i'm not using it. Result -> 1 day battery. Froyo, the more slow ROM, do not wastes battery when i'm not using it, even with overclock. Result -> 3+ day battery.
And 1 thing: Devs, do not put 2 or tweak packages on your ROM's, because some scripts was already used on other packages, making the system run 2 or more times the same script, wasting battery.
You can help on this list by suggesting some improvements that I do not listed here. If I help, press thanks.

So for Accounts syncing, Flash Gapps is not really needed? Only a account-related app, such as Gmail? Interesting... But how do I get Play Store without flashing Gapps?

dbarrera, account sync app come in some ICS roms. If not, you can download gapps and put this application on system/apps of the ROM. You can get Play Store apk file in XDA, or in others websites. If you cannot found, i have the .apk file so i can upload for you =D.

For instance, I'm testing JellyME ROM... It has Account & Sync app, but even with Gmail and Play Store (3.7.11 from a June dump, I dunno if its the latest) app installed, I can't add my Google account for it to sync Contact and Calendar data... Ideas?

Yes. Go to Settings -> Account & Sync -> Add Account, and do the step guide. First check your internet connection because it will be loggin to verify and associate your account to that phone and you're done. After all tap your account to find the options to Sync Contacts and Calendar. Hope i helped you. =D

Or use blackmart.

Hi. I think u should try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33999592
I've used this app on kamesh ICS, and it helps reduce lag. I didn'nt test it much on ICS (rolled back to MIUI), but on MIUI GB, realy reduces lag on minimum. I'm curently on powersaving governor and all is still buttery smooth. Check out and give your opinion. Cheers!!!
Sent from my LG-P350 using xda premium

Okay I'll try using it on my new ROM and soon i'll post results =D

Had to flash Gapps (tiny-gapps) for Google related data (Contacts and Calendar) sync...

I just hope that these tiny-gapps does not come with unnecessary apps. But you can do this step: Extract gapps and extract rom. Put the desired apps on system/apps of the ROM and make a .zip file with contents. That should do the trick next time =D

Just the APKs? In the tiny-gapps also comes some libs and stuff... Probably dependencies?

Maybe ... But here in my phone it wasn't a problem. Maybe these libs modifies system and allow unknown apps or other things to run in background.

Being that the case, GoogleBackupTransport (I guess this one keeps data backed up with Google), Google[Calendar | Contacts]SyncAdapter (I guess the name says it all), GoogleLoginService (Need to login into Mothership somehow), MarketUpdater, Phonesky (Play Store), Talk (Yes, I'm guilty of using it) should be the only ones to load directly into the ROM's /system/app folder?

Yes, theorically talking. But soon some ROM's will implant the useful Gapps, so we will not have to do this work =D

If the JellyMe developer includes Google Login without Gapps (and fixes the bugs already posted on his thread), I'm sold!

And how about any tips for battery life? I've tried some ICS ROMs, they were quite smooth,all good but I didn't like the battery life, that's why I'm still using CM7. Anybody running ICS can post some battery stats? On CM7, it takes 3%/8 hours with airplane mode, but with ICS 40%!! Did I do something wrong(I mean bad kernel or flashing gapps) or is it normal with ICS? Thanks

ICS is a really battery eater because more apps are running in background. And it goes fast. You can download different battery savers and check what's the best for you.

Well that's shame,because I'd really like to use ICS(CM9),it has some good functions(killing with back button,smoother and faster than CM7). The weirdest thing is it drains the battery even in deep sleep?!

Don't use ICS if you cannot adapt to its functionality. Yes it has bugs, and yes, you'll be in trouble if you dont know how to make remedies.

I don't want to be rude, because I know that there's a lot of hard, long and sometimes annoying work. I'm happy I can even flash ICS. I've just asked if there's any way to improve battery life (especially when phone is not used). I don't think that low battery life is a "functionality" which I should adapt to.

New Android feature suggestions...

Is there someplace people can go to make requests for new Android features? (Someplace were developers might actually see it and perhaps implement the requests?)
I have had ideas for several features that I think would make my Android devices (I have owned about 6) far better...
- One of my ideas was the ability for more than one Bluetooth device (ie: wireless headphone/earphones) to be able to connect to a single Android device at the same time. I go running, hiking, etc... When I go alone, I often listen to music. It would be great if when I run with someone else, if they could listen to the music I am playing on my Android device at the same time I am.
- I have changed ROMs many times, but when I do, it is always a pain to have to setup (or recreate) my music playlists on the new ROM. Many (not all) Android music players seem to allow users to import music playlists that have been created on PCs or whatever. None of the music players or the Android OS itself seem to allow me to save a music playlist as a file (ie: export) that I can reload later, use on another device, or give to someone else.
- None of the Android ROMs I have come across seem to provide a (relatively easy) way to change the the the resolution (LCD density) so that I can make images and text larger or smaller on my display. This is something that is very easy to do (change a setting and hit save/apply) on every PC I have ever owned, but the few ROMs that seem to allow this seem to have a complex procedure for doing it.
- Ability to put Widgets in folders (on the desktop). I like widgets. I sometimes even like the UI of a widget better than the associated app. (Sometimes widgets provides a nice condensed view of the information/features, or provide simple capabilities like a switch to turn on/off a feature without launching menus and digging through them.) Unfortunately the Android OS (or the "Home" apps that currently exist) does not (do not) allow widgets to be put into a folder on the desktop. I would like this feature for many reasons. 1) The folder could limit the widget from consuming battery or system resources until the folder was opened. That way widgets would not use up my battery or CPU cycles until I opened the folder and looked at them.
- It would be great to have a "magnifying glass" (zoom feature) that I could use to make any specific area on the display larger (so that if I'm having trouble seeing something small on the display, I can magnify it large enough to see it).
I have more ideas, but those are just a few of the things I think would make Android devices better. Feel free to add your own suggestions to this list.

Pretty good ideas as far as magnifying just pinch to zoom in that specific area or double tap. I believe there are apps to backup a music playlist the bluetooth idea is actually kind of cool

Is there someplace people can go to make requests for new Android features? (Someplace were developers might actually see it and perhaps implement the requests?)
I have had ideas for several features that I think would make my Android devices (I have owned about 6) far better...

Great ideas. I use Google Music to set up my playlists with my music on my desktop at home. No matter if I'm at work, over a friends house, or switching roms on my phone, as soon as I download google music, all my playlists and music is right at my fingertips.
As far as resolution changing, I would suggest Carbon Rom as you can change your density in less than a minute, and that's mostly because you have to reboot twice, but there are no force close issues or any of that.
As far as features go, I would like to see recovery feature addition:
The thing I hate the most about switching roms is having to log in to 15 different accounts again. I wish TWRP would construct a feature that allows me to carry over my sign in information for standard apps (Facebook, Webex, GroupME, etc.) that most people use.
Or perhaps, a ROM that offered three different login slots that attempted to log into every app that I restore using those slots first and if login is unsuccessful, THEN prompt me to enter login information.
Just a suggestion that would allow the end-user to streamline setting up his/her rom. What do you guys think?
PS: I think the multi-bluetooth device feature would be sweet as well. I have a couple of computers at home that I use my Note to control, it would be nice to have the option to control any given device in an instance.

As for resolution, that's much more easier said than done, since some apps would have to be rebuilt from the ground, or at least would have to individually be written and flashed for said resolution.
However, if there are a few apps that you really want to change (like for me, G-Mail, Chrome, XDA, gReader, etc), you really need to check out XPosed, honestly, I don't know if I'll ever buy a device that doesn't support it or something similar. It features on the fly resolution/DPI adjustments per app, one of the greatest MODs ever brought to Android, hands down.

The Note2 does what I need it to once rooted. I would like to see better prices and data first. Why have the next great thing when you pay out the ass and don't have equal speed?
I would like to see Android updates that actually make me want them, like better codex, performance, UI functions, etc. Some updates don't really seem like updates, like when Ubuntu releases a new version but you do the same thing as before, and you are left wanting more.

I agree somewhat. However, I think that the 4.2.2 roms with Linaro are noticeably faster than other 4.2.2 roms without it. Carbon is much faster without me having to use apps like Pimp My Rom and Lag Reducer without compromising my battery performance.
Halo is also another great custom feature that may one day rival the stock multi-window feature.
I also like the profile triggers built into Carbon, bluetooth and wifi triggers are wonderful, hopefully we can get some GPS triggers, then we will really be in business lol.
All in all, I agree with you though, we need some REAL POWER behind these updates. But I'm sure devs would say "Let's get some real CASH behind the devs and you guys will see some POWER!!" **Gotta look at it from both sides**
Great input guys. Let's keep it going!!!

lightning launcher has the widget in folder capabilities. It's my daily launcher
just saying.....

Need the Android equivalent to iMessage.
Desperately needed and no, Google Hangouts (in its current state ) is not the answer.

See I like Touchwiz and the stock UI bs and want more of these mods to make into a stock ROM, sometimes I wish Sammy read these types of forums.

Kindle Fire HD 8.9" (8.4.6).

Hi. I have some questions regarding this device, for which I've bought for my son as an Xmas gift.
Firstly I've noticed a few things and confirmed things I've researched about this device:
- It is based on Android, which was obvious as soon as I side loaded es file explorer and checked out the SD contents.
- It is running at around 30-50% of its full potential, due to the super persistent Amazon apps that run in the background, and low amount of customisation options.
- The advertisements on the lock screen... WTF.
- Unable to use mx player pro as a default video player for lovefilm, which sucks.
- The carousel is nice looking but it auto adds things which is highly annoying.
- The parental controls are good.
So that's just a small list and I'm sure I haven't quite listed everything yet but I want to move onto some questions about rooting the device:
1. Does rooting and installing cyanogenmod improve the memory use and performance? May be an obvious answer but it's always good to know people's opinions.
2. Can any of the Amazon apps be used on cyanogenmod, so that the device still feels like a Kindle. E.g. the launcher and carousel, and the parental controls? I like the big HD icons. This will be used regularly by my son so I need strong security controls.
3. Being an unofficial port, does cm come with any usual and/or unusual bugs? Such as rotation bugs, fcs and reboots.
4. Does cm use the full quality of the sound and display? The resolution and sound quality is great as it is, I'd hate to sacrifice those for better memory.
5. Anything else that I might expect or information that would be helpful please.
FYI I've unlocked, rooted and flashed many devices, so I know roughly the benefits and disadvantages.

Your questions about cm are moot at the moment as there's no unlocked bootloader so can't install custom ROMs at this time.
In regards to the Amazon apps, try using greenify to hibernate them if you're rooted. I seem to recall it can hibernate system apps but it's not recommended, so I don't know what functionality will be lost or even if it'll be stable.
