Root Awesome Android Update 4 Released

Could someone possibly explain what "purging of assets" (settings) to obtain more RAM means or does to the phone?

Do you know about cars?

A good bit... Not ASE certified, but can change out motors, transmissions, most parts, and rewire 90% of it as well as add customizations of sorts... What similarities apply?:confused:

Purging of assets does basically what a blow off valve does. When the motor (the phone) builds up too much pressure (RAM) the blowoff valve blows the pressure out of the motor therefore making more room for combustion (free RAM) it basically kills background processes to free up ram.

Oh, wow. Kinda like an auto task killer for stuff not actively being used? :smokingsomb:

:DWow, phone has more snap. But acting weird occasionally with my browser. Doesn't seem to wanna register some touches and occasionally stops data use for some reason. Gotta kill browser app manually. Maybe I just got too much stuff on my phone. :rolleyes: the more I peek under the hood to tune it, the badder it gets... Shinru has dropped some RAM air into this thing. :D

After you set the purge I would clear the cache and reboot. Give it a fresh start. For some reason the sequent gets laggy after a lil while if u don't reboot. Almost like the Samsung galaxy devices. I think their lag was due to the type of file system they used, I don't know what the problem is but this device actually uses the same scorpion processor. Maybe that's the problem.

This seems to work pretty good thanks for bringing it up guys I was scared to try it but it is smoother...haven't noticed any browsing problems yet but I did wipe my cache

Yeah that's the ticket.... lol

So what did that thing do?


That!!! lol :D
 
hey shin i made a flasheble zip for awesome can i flashed like that or i have to flashed one by one and rebooting after each one just asking is easier just to flash one thing only
 
I did. No good still.

Did'ja clear the caches before the update and factory reset after update? I ended up having to reboot after update 2 then go back to CWM, clear caches again AND factory reset. Let it fully boot... Then reboot again. Mine's perfect...

If ur using titanium backup, do NOT restore system data. Only NON-system apps... Had to learn that one the hard way. Try doing a complete factory reset, AA ROM, then gapps, then update2, then factory reset again. Remember what I said about TB...and you SHOULD be fine.. Lemme know

yeah did all that, i havent used TiBu since the HTC Sensation days...
 
Has anyone tried to limit background processes in the developer settings in this rom? I just set mine to 4 and I like the speed boost so far don't know how it will hold up
 
Hey shinru, remember when I said that I didn't get any voicemail notifications? Now I got one (cuz I saved a msg after getting 6 over 2 days without ANY prior notification) and after I cleared it, it won't go away. It only showed "voicemail pending" temporarily (before) then disappeared within moments (without checking them) but never a straight "# of voicemails" that stayed until checked. Even rebooted phone... Any ideas? :confused: wiped my caches too.. No change.
 
I had the same problem I actually deleted the voicemail app to fix it...I didn't need it anyway because I am not going to subscribe for 1.99 for that sh#tty voicemail to text service....u can probably delete the app and then reinstall it if u want the app....the problem is it gets stuck downloading ur message I believe
 
I honestly forgot to make the Google now package. I will get on that tonight. Theming the mms and contacts then releasing an update.

sounds great! I wasn't sure if you were going to add Google now or not coz you mentioned something about it making the phone slow?

I actually love the voicemail to text app, but haven't resubscribed recently cuz every time I flash a new ROM it resets and I have to resubscribe again (so it seems)... More $. Just waiting on the final release before putting money into it again. Screwed me outta my phone bill being paid once... Had to call boost to straighten it out. At first they wasn't gonna but the fact I had been a customer for like 10 years was the only reason it got fixed. I guess I'll just keep dealing with the notification in status bar until Shinru gets it figured out. If ANYBODY can straighten it out, it'd probably be him.

Lol I don't think i ever got a voicemail text that was even close to accurate with it....if u use titanium then backup uninstall and then restore maybe that would work worth a shot bc the voicemail pending Is annoying!
