no te entiendo explicate mejor en spañol

I had the T-Mobile USA Rom which had the same problem with Smarttool Kit.
Once I flashed the HTC Rom to my phone and installed Smart Tool Kit I haven't had it freeze once and it's been a couple months.
Hope that helps.

Hola Tizana, mi Excalibur se "tranca" cuando ejecuto el SmartToolkit en todas sus versiones, mi pregunta habra algun tipo de "fix" o parche que pueda aplicar al sistema operativo para que la aplicacion se ejecute normalmente sin trancar el equipo?, alguna configuracion en el registry del sistema?
Gracias, Saludos Ulises.

Im not currently using my Excalibur, but I believe you hit the start button> control panel> general> options> last one down is "global system skinning", uncheck and reboot. works great for me.
I don't know what version i'm running or where to tell for that matter but it's a newer one as "global system skinning" is a recent feature and crashed my device first time so i turned it off

I don't know what ROM you are using right now, but I'd check that first. I got the ROM here
Just make sure you read the whole thread there's quite a few steps involved. Depending on the rom your using that'd make my decision on upgrading or not. My T-Mobile rom was overweight and buggy - so the HTC Rom solved a lot of problems.

Hi theformula, nothing my friend I did the changes according with your recomendation but the behavior when SmartToolKit starts is the same, totally freeze the phone....!
Ulises.

I would say you could back up your info, hard reset, and try reinstalling smart tool kit OR
download a new rom.
weeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Bueno amigo to tuve los mismo problemas preferi no instalar el SMART TOOLS uso FACADE sin problemas y mi telefono es digitel liberado y con WM6.
Adicionalmente cada edicion de SMART TOOLS trae algunos bug que dependiendo del equipo lo poden mejor o pero pero eso cambia mucho y es una pequea cantidad de equipos que sufren estos problemas

smarttoolkit 8 is better than 9 dont know why but I have less problems than the newer version so install smartoolkit 8....

what did you just call my mom?

Install it on your Phones memory not your Storage card. The storage card can lag causing phone to freeze. Since most of the time its loading (Smarttoolkit) when the device starts its not a good idea to wait untill the storage card is activated (its the last thing the system starts). I've been using it fully enabled with both the stock T-Mo and Kavanas 6.1... no problems at all

Voices for Sygic in Archos 70

I adapted the voices of Sygic, with a second of silence at the end that's what young generation Archos 8, I do not know why it does it and now I do not care.
At first he got a second to the end of each sound ogg, and not cut, but between each word had a second of waiting, so that seemed to say what a fool ... in order to filter a bit and have only silence the sounds they had just phrases, so if the sound is placed in the middle of a sentence you will notice a silence of 1 second.
What are the indications are very good, would not fault any stunt that makes the browser (turn right at the second round exit, etc. ..). When you have to assemble a sentence from scratch, sometimes you understand anything (example: take the national 666), but I give a 90% clarity.
They are in 5 languages, sorry for the Czechs, Arab, Croat and other non-adapted language users, but do not give for more.
Needless to say that if you use some trick, like the first start Copilot, or do not have the problem cuts, these voices can lead to inconsistencies in the information.
You can also use any other device that has the same error (which is long, as seen above)
Nothing more, try it and if you find any mistakes please do not hesitate to say so.
He adaptado las voces de Sygic, con un segundo de silencio al final,que es lo que corta la generación 8 de Archos,no sé por que lo hace y ya me da igual.
Al principio le metí un segundo al final a cada sonido ogg,y no se cortaba,pero entre cada palabra había un segundo de espera,a modo que parecía que se lo dijese a un tont... en fin que filtré un poco y solo tienen el silencio los sonidos que acababan las frases, así que si ese sonido es puesto en medio de una frase se notará un silencio de 1 segundo.
Lo que son las indicaciones van muy bien,diría que no falla ningún montaje que hace el navegador(gire a la derecha,en la redonda segunda salida,etc..).Cuando tiene que montar una frase desde cero,a veces no se le entiende nada(ejemplo:tome la nacional 666),pero le doy un 90% de claridad.
Están en 5 idiomas,lo siento por los checos, arabes,croatas y demás usuarios de lenguas no adaptadas,pero no doy para mas.
Ni que decir tiene que si se usa algún truco,como el de arrancar primero el Copilot,o no tienen el problema de los cortes,estas voces pueden provocar incoherencias en las indicaciones.
También se puede usar en cualquier otro dispositivo que tenga el mismo error(que los hay desde hace mucho,por lo que podido ver)
Nada mas,a probarlo y si encuentran algún error no duden en decirlo.
because of the quality of novice I can not include the complete link
voces Sygc +1seg español:

I appreciate the work you have done for this, as it is a bad bug. However, the proper solution is to contact Sygic, as I have, and report this issue so they can address and correct it. I will give your modification a try though, at least until I hear back from them. That is, if English is one of the languages provided...

thanks, I agree that Archos should do the right thing
until then you can use this solution.

I've only tested lenguages sapanish and others prove that there is cut, the inconsistencies do not know why I do not understand the other languages, but as the files are equal and with the same name, I followed the same pattern.
saludos.

I tested your English voices, and it did the same thing - cut off prematurely.

if it really changed are the only Spanish, I feel the error and hope to find files quickly, otherwise I will have to rebuild again
a thousand pardons, patience

Could you please explain how you are doing this? I'd like to attempt it on my own for the English files.

used pakExtract pair to extract files to compile paku ogg, adobe audition add a second to ogg I think they finished a sentence, leaving the final number with +1 seg and others no
sorry for the translation

[Q] Can you help me with camera sound(xperia arc)? :(

Hi to all friends of xda.
I'm new with the excelent xperia Arc. but need some help whith the Arc, when take a picture, how can silence the camera? in the properties can find off the sound. too, I also downloaded several programs like "spy" cameras but when the picture is taked, the sound appears.
Plis exists some way tho silence when take a photo.
model:lt15i android version:2.3.3 kernel version 2.6.32.9-perf build number: 3.0.1.A.0.146
Thanks a lot in advance.
P.D. Excuse my bad english

On my Arc (UK, unbranded/unlocked), when you're in the camera you press the menu button and a second set of options appears that includes one for 'Shutter sound', if you tap on that you have the choice of three different sounds and silent.
Do you not have that?

There is a thread on this here in general already, look around for it. You need root though.

In some versions of the firm, like the Hong Kong branded, the "no sound camera" option doesn't exist. Try another branding like global generic.

Yes.. You'll need to replace your firmware with uk or global generic.. Some of the eastern countries don't allow you to silence the camera...

Hola, jeje creo que me será mas facil entenderte así.
Exactamente que quieres silenciar de la camara?, el sonido del obturador (cuando tomas foto) o la entrada del microfono cuando grabas algo?.
Es de telcel o lo compraste en otro lado?.. ya esta rooteado?

Hola rafuru, gracias por tu atencion, mira el telefono lo compre en otro lado, de hecho es de importacion (casia... aunque no se exactamente de que pais), esta libre y no esta rooteado,ahora, en cuanto al sonido, el sileciado es de la camara, pero si la camara se puede "silenciar" se extiende al video?... bueno como sea, mi objetivo es la camara, algunos amigos en los post anteriores me comentan que solo cambiando el firmware puedo hacerlo... tu que opinas, sera cierto? y de hecho si es cierto eso pues tengo algunas dudas(...jejeje..."algunas" ).
gracias y saludos

Hmm se me hace extraño..
Mira, cuando quieres silenciar el obturador, en la camara pulsas la tecla de opciones (a la derecha de home) y esta la opcion de silenciar o cambiar el sonido del obturador.
De la misma forma se puede silenciar el microfono al momento de grabar video. Yo lo hacia aun sin actualizar el firmware.

Oh...... sorry.
"Rafuru Hi, thanks for your attention, look, the phone buy it elsewhere, in fact, is import (asia. .. though not exactly which country) is free and is not rooted, now in the sound, the camera need silence , but if the camera can "silence" extends to the video ...? Well, as my goal is the camera, some friends in the previous post tell me that just changing the firmware ... you think, will it? and indeed whether it is true that I have some doubts (... hehehe ... "some"?).
thanks and greetings

[MODULES] CPU Governors for stock V10 kernel

I have been working on the kernel lately, and had to notice that even though the kernel source is compilable (not always the case....), the kernel is unfortunately not bootable. And to make matters worse, LG removed support for the last_kmsg procfs entry, meaning I have no clue what's wrong with it.
But then I remembered what my, well, kinda methor, did on the locked bootloaders on the Xperia X8. He was also known as "the module-man", aka @doixanh, as he brought some pretty nice things to the device just using kernel modules.
Long story short, I compiled a couple of modules adding support for the following four CPU governors:
conservative
hotplug
intellidemand
lionheart
You can choose which ones you want to have loaded by editing the init.d script (just uncomment the line of the module you want to have loaded).
Requirements:
CWM recovery
init.d support
Installation:
Flash the zip via recovery
Edit the init.d script "/system/etc/init.d/01insmod" so it loads the modules you want
That's it
The modules are now being loaded on every boot, and can be activated using any device control app, like TricksterMOD or Device Control.
My personal favorite is hotplug, as it scales pretty nicely.
Last but not least, GPL:
The kernel (module) sources can be found HERE

I have also been working on a couple of other modules, but I cannot load them due to an unaccessible symbol.
The strange thing is, though, according to the kernel sources, the symbol should be accessible...
Will have to keep on looking into it, I suppose...

problem uninstalling device manager 'BLANCCO ADMIN WIPE' S20+ G986U VERIZON

Hello, it's a pleasure to greet you, I already made my respective presentation since I'm new to the forum, I haven't worked with mobile phones for years, but recently I bought a galaxy s20+ g986u verizon, this mobile is used, however I realize that an application appears like device manager which can NOT be deactivated, disabled or uninstalled. It should be noted that this application does not appear as if it were installed on the computer, but it restricts me some silly functions, what annoys me is that it has access to a lot of information and above all it can delete my data or block the imxx... I imagine that for adb could be removed but has this happened to anyone? do you know this app? in google you can find information about this company (blancco) which is in charge of selling support for deletion of massive data to large companies or corporations in order to reuse electronic equipment. but unquestionably I am concerned about the security of the mobile. I would like to be able to delete that app but with as little risk as possible, it should be noted that I was dedicated to telephony years ago, it has easily been 5 years without knowing anything about the technical news of smartphones so I am totally lost, it is as if I did not know nothing! I would appreciate any help since I am also afraid of deleting the app and that perhaps the equipment will not turn on later.

hola un placer saludarles, ya hice mi respectiva presentacion ya que soy nuevo en el foro, hace años que no trabajo con moviles, pero recientemente compré un galaxy s20+ g986u verizon, este movil es usado, sin embargo me doy cuenta que aparece una aplicacion como administrador de dispositivo la cual NO se puede desactivar, deshabilitar o desinstalar. Cabe destacar que dicha aplicacion no aparece como si estuviera instalada en el equipo, pero me restringe algunas funciones tontas, lo que me molesta es que tiene acceso a bastante informacion y sobre todo puede borrar mis datos o bloquear el imxx.. me imagino que por adb se podría eliminar pero a alguien le ha sucedido esto? conocen esta app? en google podran encontrar informacion de esta empresa (blancco) la cual se encarga de vender soporte para eliminacion de datos masivos a grandes empresas o corporaciones para poder reutilizar equipos electronicos. pero indiscutiblemente me preocupa la seguridad del movil. quisiera poder borrar esa app pero con el menor riesgo posible, cabe destacar que yo me dedicaba a la telefonia hace años, facilmente han pasado 5 años sin saber nada de la actualidad tecnica de los smartphone's asi que estoy totalmente perdido, es como si no supiese nada! agradeceria cualquier ayuda ya que tambien me da miedo borrar la app y que quizas el equipo luego no encienda.
