Nope. Nothing. Root or just talk to your grandmother on the phone or read text messages. That's it. Nothing fun. Nope.

my shift is rooted but my wife doesn't want to do hers so i thought there might be something that can be done unrooted

The only way for CPU OCing on an Android OS device to work is to root it. A stock kernel's CPU values are static i.e. locked to a min/max frequency. By rooting the device, these values become dynamic which allows you to set them. Just be cautious of the values you set as either too low or too high may cause the device to lock up or reboot.

App looks like it would be awesome but without root I'm not able to control CPU so its not worth it for me. I use widgets to control everything that the program does and then I don't need to have it running in the backround

Glad that works for you. Me personally, I'd rather let an app do it. Then it can still let things in every so often without me doing anything. And the battery use is minimal in the background.
JuiceDefender works... it's a good application. The more time you spend setting it up correctly, the better it works. And having UltimateJuice is a must.
I don't believe in Taskillers as they are just taking up CPU cycles killing off applications that aren't even doing anything (read up on how Android works to understand this fully, mainly how it kills of application and how they can be open and dormant).
gonna give this a shot, thanks
What is the proper way to set up, or some decent configurations for Juice Defender? I've tried it but I really do not understand it at all.
Giving it a try on Fresh 3.1.0.1.

actually seems like a pretty good app, setcpu saves me so much battery already just by underclocking when the screen is off idk if i need to sacrifice my data connections. anyone know the benefits of ultimate juice?

If you set it up as I do in the video, I've found that its a very good balance.

Agreed on both accounts. You gotta go for UltimateJuice and I can't emphasize more that task killers really don't help. You're completely right on your points. The apps aren't doing anything. Android doesn't handle background apps poorly like a PC.

In the video I state the benefits of UltimateJuice. Also, with JuiceDefender you'll be able to underclock as you do with setcpu. Saves you a running app as well

I know...my cube is right next to the door with the director of my department going in and out of it all day long. So it's stealthier for me to watch a video on my desktop rather than my phone.
Oh the woes of an intern.

Oh, it's just a big advertisement for JuiceDefender. I thought it was providing some acutal tweaks and settings to change and some data to back it up.

You need a custom kernel to oc buy you can under clock. Make sure tutu keep it on conservative govnor out you will hasn't issues. Change the min to 200mhz our you will have problems with unlocks.
Next time do a search as this information has been posted many of times

Actually, there was an article on XDA's home page about a member who created an app that does just that. You'll have to search though.
I use Smart Keyboard Pro. Works great for me.
On a related note, you know how when you switch to landscape the keyboard basically uses the whole screen (as in you only see the type to compose line and the keyboard itself)..well, is there a way to change or modify that so at least ill be able too see something over the type to compose screen?
Its really sucky when im on the msn app or sms app and i have to hide the keyboard ib order to see what was last sent to me

Hellllll with tv screen off animation and setcpu!!

Screen off animation help and setcpu with cm7!
My tv screen off animation worked for probably 1 hour before I downloaded apps... idk why it's gone but I would love to get it back without widgetlocker.
Also I have read people getting 15 + hours of battery life using setcpu I just want to know what I should set it to and if I should use screen off addition. Thanks

I have min set to 264 for pandora to work and max at 748. You may need to play with max since every hero can run 691, but not all can go higher.
hmmm, i had same problem with the tv screen off animation. i don't use setcpu i am using kifno's tweak. he has two, one for more battery life and one for more performance. reason i mention it is that when i flashed his tweak, suddenly my screen animation came back and has stayed.
Yeah ill try his tweak. I'm gonna go with battery rather than performance. Will I lose all my apps? It says I have to wipe I'm pretty sure

No you will not loose any apps. Mp= More performance and Bl=more battery life. Don't flash both. Just read the thread carefully, choose one and flash from recovery.

I just flashes battery life. I'm going to wait til completely dead but I see absolutely nothing different so far... is it just like signal strength and little boosts like that? And battery of course. Should there be another application? Something in my settings? It just seems too easy

You should really take the time to read the whole thread or as much as you can to understand how you are modifying your phone setup. The risk/benefits will/should be posted by the OP. Also user experiences and feedback will be posted there as well.
With that being said.
The BL mod will take time to setup you will not see an immediate extension in battery life untill you have properly calibrated your battery. However you should experience a boost in 3g dl/ul
speeds. This will be minimal compared to the Mp mod but should be better than stock.
The Mp tweak results should take effect immediately hence the name of the mod.
Basically you can't have both. Its either one or the other. I run the Mp tweak and it might help with your animations. This is my understanding of the mod. To gain a better perspective hop over to the thread and read or Pm the dev. He's on break now but I think he's answering Pm's. He's quick to respond and is a cool dev.
Well Good luck. If you want to try a mod and have read upon it and need any help let me know if I can I will.

Alright thanks. I'll tell ya how my battery life is. Still looking to get that tv animation back so if you find out let me know

Used it for 2 days. The only bug I get is randomly I can't access text messages. It requires a reboot.

Yea I love this ROM but I guess its not compatible with Ripple Lock Screen yet or something.When I use it my screen takes like 6 seconds to unlock, really strange as this was not happening with 2.2.1.
Other than that, PERFECT

Weird...Ripple Lock works fine for me on 2.2.2. Did you do a fresh install of the app or did you restore a backup?

Yup I did a fresh install. I have both the ripple lock and the agile lock (sense 3.0) and they both do the same. I found out that they ado work but to I have to use the volume to show unlock (weird) If I hit the power button nothing happens at all.
Been using it for about an hour now...so far so good. No problems and as fast and lite as I remember.
Gonna stick with it as my normal runner if no issues creep up.

What do you guys like about this ROM over CM7?
CM7 froze in the middle of the night, then I missed my alarm, so I need to try something else.

To be honest with you I only tried CM7 for about an hour. I just didnt like the look and layout, plus it seems like it comes with so much more things installed (bloat to me). During that hour it did not feel any faster nor smoother than Oxygen. Been using Oxygen since 2.2.1 till now and I have NEVER got a reboot or freeze. Check it out man, you wont be dissapointed.

Agree 100% with what you said about the "bloat".
Good to know. .... I use oxy and one other rom , but lately oxy has been my daily driver due to the sheer speed. Battery life isn't as good but I have my phone oc'd to 1.3.

Have you tried running it at 800Mhz? This is my setting while i'm at work, then back to 1Ghz at home. I see no difference in speed IMO
The only things oxygen is missing that I really like is the 4g notification toggle, and incognito mode on the browser.
