I'm having issues with which folder to stick the cwm file in to where the terminal emulator app will run what it says to type. UGH!I'm brain dead if you guys cant tell. :P

path/to.file is literally the path to the file. Example: /sdcard/CWM.bin
If that's what you're having problems with. Otherwise, put it in the main folder of either your internal or external SD card, and feel free to rename it as CWM.bin as well. So, for example:

Not: /sdcard/New Folder/CWM.bin

Instead: /sdcard/CWM.bin
Alternatively: /sdcard/_ExternalSD/CWM.bin

Also keep in mind that Linux, which Android is based on, is case-sensitive. So for example "Dog.txt" versus "dog.txt" are two different files as far as Android is concerned.

Thank you very much! I will see how this works.


I'm not familiar with this app, but there have been a few apps that I have experienced the same symptoms with--it seems like system intensive apps-- I believe one was Open Signal, and something similar, I don't recall the name. Using No-Frills CPU Control, it doesn't apply any settings on an unsafe shutdown (I don't recall the specific nomenclature used), so I didn't really think it had to do with CPU tuning settings. I thought it might have had to do with Auto Memory Manager, which I use, so I've removed that, though it has provided a boost in battery life.



This has fixed most of the problems I've had. It's kind of the fix-all on this rom.



So far for me, changing PRL has provided negligible boost in connectivity--and usually at the expense of coverage area, or phone signal.
I'm still experimenting with it every day though, if anybody has experienced a PRL that is working well in the midwest with this phone, please advise.

If you have root and Titanium Backup, you can backup and restore Bookmarks using TB.
Not sure if it applies, but it has worked for me.



That's weird. That's one thing that has consistently worked real well for me.

Yes I have tibu but what does that have to do with the signal strength being at 120dbs? Is there any REAL app that can help to fix sick week data and call signals is pathetic to the point I just bought a droid X2 using Verizon waiting to get it but until then I need this phone so before I tell off Virgin and flush the elite down the toilet is it possible to get better signal by punching in some code or downloading an app or flashing to another carrier? Oh BTW the sleipnir Rom is awesome is virgin and sprint that suck in this area, it's a shame cause we all spent a lot of time on it :thumbdown::(:banghead::beer::beer::beer::beer:

On first page it's under Recommended -> CPU Settings. Or as follows:

Artine said:
CPU Settings

  • Governor: smartassV2 (default in Sleipnir)
  • Min Frequency: 245 MHz - Anything lower, and you're gonna have a bad time.
  • Max Frequency: 1612 MHz - Maximum allowed by the kernel.
    • Note: If your phone becomes unstable at a maximum frequency of 1612 MHz, try lowering the maximum frequency to the next highest, and so on and so forth, until the phone becomes stable. Though 1612 MHz is stable for many OEs, some OEs are unable to handle that high of frequency.
  • Result: No lag, and supreme battery life.
  • Note: If your CPU Tuner app of choice (I personally recommend No-frills CPU Control) includes I/O Scheduling, please click here for a breakdown of the I/O Scheduler. Courtesy of Dark One.
    • TL;DR: Set your I/O Scheduler to noop. Courtesy of giantpune.
      • Note: I/O scheduling is utterly pointless for flash-memory devices, such as Android smartphones. However, if you have to set it, noop is the best option.

I was trying to do it from my computer, which was the problem. I did it from dolphin browser and I'm set. =] Thank you so much. =]

Is Wifi Tether For Root Users recommended over Barnacle Tether?
Click to expand...

IIRC, a recent update to Barnacle Tether makes it nonfunctional for this phone, but I'm not entirely sure. I've used both, and either are the only ones that work for this device. It comes down to personal preference, really.
 
Hey guys, sorry if I'm just blind and not seeing it.

I rooted my elite, and after some time gave it to my son. He tried to buy a movie off the Playstore but it won't download. Called customer service and the guy was able to tell that the phone was rooted. (New to me, never heard that one before) Told me that with a rooted device I can't dl pay for movies to the phone.

His explanation was that with root we can access the partition area that the store dl's the files to and share said file. Hence no pay for movies if your rooted.

Anybody know of a way around this? Other than returning the phone to stock? Maybe uninstalling updates to the store?

I tried clearing the cache and data from both the store and services framework with no luck.

I'd try "Play store on my PC or Laptop" & then move it to the phone!!!....Just a thought!!!

That's a new one for me too. Not sure how he could tell the phone was rooted either, and I don't see any reason why they wouldn't download due to being rooted. Having access to the partition shouldn't matter - we have access to the /data partition, and apps still download to it. For starters, I would try clearing /cache and dalvik-cache from CWM, and then try uninstalling updates to the store, see if that helps. Also try fixing permissions. Is he getting an error when trying to download the movie, or is it just not downloading without any error message?

That makes zero sense. You could by the movie then root the phone. ;) I would expect they are encrypted (DRM) to your user account anyway and you can't just share the files.

Thanks for all the info guys.

I didn't mention the phone being rooted to him, so he seems to know something we don't, or I've yet to hear of.

As for the partition angle he spoke of. I've noticed it with the Google music app. Supposedly.... It won't allow you to add music you can't prove ownership of. But I've noticed songs I've picked up over the years syncing with that app. The other day though I came across the file where the songs get cached to. (Didn't think to write it down at the time)

As for the play movies downloading to rooted devices. It's the first time it's ever been actually used in the house so I've never had the chance to see it play out.

I'll check out that app though and see what's up.

Thanks again guys, he's been texting me all day to see if there had been a response to that question. Kid doesn't have any patience:rolleyes:
