Turn on JIT for any ROM? - Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Turn on JIT for any ROM? - Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So some ROMs come with JIT already installed, you just have to turn it on through a settings checkbox or something. Some require that you flash a zip file to turn it on and off (like xtrSense).
My question is this: Is there a way to turn on JIT for any ROM? Even for ROMs that don't come with JIT. Is there something like a generic JIT zip file out there that I can flash after every ROM to turn on JIT. I have found that JIT speeds up the phone considerably, adding as much as 50 points to the quadrant score.

NAND before flashing

Well poop, it says it is not for use with Sense. Sense ROMs are the only ones I use. Has anyone tried this with a Sense ROM? All I can do is try I suppose. Thanks.
Saw this link in there too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=684535

JIT and sense doesnt really work too well together
you have to use it on either a vanilla rom, or a vanilla-ish rom
if you rip out enough of the sense UI out of a rom you can use them together.

I've been using xtrSense3.1 with JIT enabled for the past few weeks with no issues, so it's definitely possible.

Custom Roms VS Official

Hi,
I'd like to start off saying I'm a newbie...
I originally thought it was a requirement to root you HTC Hero phone to get andriod 2.1, and I did root it I got Villain 12.
I later discovered you can update without rooting, to the offical firmware, now I have two heros (one is my bro's).
I was doing a comparison his has offical 2.1, mine has Villain 12, I can't really see much difference between the Official & Villain 12, other than Villain 12 takes about 55 seconds longer to boot up. So as far as that goes, that's a serious downgrade to the official version. Many people say it's faster and better, but my tests show that its much slower to boot and the same while using apps etc.
I was wondering if there was actually any benefits to the custom rom...
Also I was wondering how to unroot the phone, just incase I need to return under warranty etc...

Well with a rooted phone you can overclock your phone via Overclock Widget(Market) or SetCPU (search XDA to get it for free and put it on your sd card and download Astro Filemanage to install it) I use Cronos Droid 2.1.2 so I cannot speak for VillainROM 12. The phone does take a bit longer to boot up but I find it worth it because I can flash themes, change my bootanimation and do other crap such as try new kernels or try out experimental ROMS (basically any 2.2 Froyo ROM), so it is a matter of opinion if root is worth it. Also a simple search and there are threads stating the pros and cons of rooting
::EDIT::
Forgot rooted phones get app2sd (saves space on your phone so you can have more apps)

I would love to know the official 2.1 boot time. For a comparison to other boot times. FYI if VillainROM is taking 55 seconds longer to boot that would mean that the official boots in about 15 seconds (based upon my results). So my thinking is that something went wrong with your VillainROM install (for whatever reason). I would recommend wiping everything and reinstalling VillainROM or another ROM and seeing if you get the performance improvements that I am seeing in almost all rom's.
GPU Benchmarks
CPU/Boot time Benchmarks

If i remember correctly the official 2.1 took about 1:50-2:00 to boot up. Villainrom12 took 1:20, and Kimera2.1 takes 1:00 (very impressive)

Not as impressive as Chocolate Eclair 1.0 which takes about 50 seconds to load IIRC.

GB Kernel Issues

Okay I've posted about this before, but still can't figure it out...
My issue is this: When I install a GB rom, everything runs fine until my screen goes off.... its even fine if it goes off for a second, but if it sits for more than one second it reboots. A full reboot. I've tried both GB kernels, as well as MR 2 and 2.5. I've also tried using setcpu to set the minimum all the way up to 1.4GHz with no help.
Can someone help me fix this screen off issue? PLEASE?
Seems to have something with the dip in processor speed because when my phone is downloading from the market or signing in to google, or doing anything for that matter... the problem doesnt occur.
I don't really accept that I can't use Gingerbread because of this... there HAS to be a fix.
Thanks yall

What gingerbread roms have you tried? Also, what kernels were you using?
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk

don't have this issue on Synergy 3.0 running the latest ziggy kernel

I've tried every GB rom on here, as well as both kernels
also, Ziggy kernel? You in the right section?

I would try wiping, then installing the setup in my signature, but don't restore any apps at first or sync with Google so they're downloaded automatically. I think that you've got an app and a kernel that's interfering with one another. Try the ROM bone stock before you start restoring apps and see if the problem is there.
Rooted Thunderbolt on BAMF Sense 3.0 RC 4 with MR2 radio and latest dreamKernel.

when you say both kernels are you referring to the radios? cause mr2 and mr.5 are radios not kernels

I share your pain with this exact problem. I have been doing all types of testing these last two days to see if there is any combination of ROMS and Kernals that would work for me.
I can flash any ROM I want, and the only Kernal that I can successfully use is this one:
Imoseyan GB Stock Kernal
With this Kernal, I can use my phone all I want, let the screen go black, hit the lock screen button and I have never had a reboot.
I have run Thunderstick, BAMF 2.1, BAMF 3.0, Gingertheory, with this kernal and it will run fine.
When I change to any of these Kernals, I get the constant reboots when my screen goes off, just like the OP described.
* Imoseyon Lean Test
* Imoseyon 184mhz
* Imoseyon USBfix
* Imoseyon 2.5.3 test 7
* Nerozehl's dreamkernal 2.3.2
Of course, when flashing any ROMS and Kernal combinations, I would do a complete wipe before doing so. I should also mention that I am using MR2 radio. I can also use MR2.5 with the GB Stock Kernal and it runs fine.
So like the OP, it seems to be something to do with the kernal that my phone does not like and can't figure out. Anything other than the stock kernal, and my phone will constantaly reboot after the screen goes black.
I should also mention that I have used the speektweah.sh in terminal emulator and tried all of the different voltage settings and it had no effect. Also disabled it and tried using SetCPU and no luck either.
I have also tried all of the ROMS without allowing any apps to update by skipping the google account sign in. So basically all of the ROMS were running in their native state, and the outcome would be the same.
FOR THE OP
Try running the stock kernal and let us know if that works for you. You should just be able to flash it in CWM, reboot and you will know right away if it is working correctly.
The real question I need to figure out is this. What is different about the GB Stock Kernal from all the others that would be having this impact on our phones?

I've tried all of this except installing the above kernel. I'll give that a shot, thanks.
As for installing without apps, I've tried that. Tried everything. Lets hope the stock kernel works!

I've been running Das BAMF Gingerstripped with Imo's kernel and never had this issue. It sounds like maybe something is bad with the cpu profiling becoming unstable when screen-off profiles kick in.

I can confirm that this one worked for me too. Synergy 3.0 running Ziggy's Kernal and everything works well.
Anyone know where to grab just the Kernal? Can't seem to find the latest download.
I should also add, that when I do flash the Stock GB kernal so that my ROM will be stable.... my camera freezes everytime I try to take a picture. Happens in every ROM I mentioned above. However, it works fine before I flash the stock kernal.

running "stock kernel" it looks to be fixed. Looks like I tried this before as I already had the file but.... works now for some reason
Thanks.

[Q] Before I mess up my HTC EVO 3D

I did quite a few searches about ROM's, Launchers, and other stuff. I have come to conclusion that I'll give CM7 a try. But currently I only know a few stuff, like, the CM7 will replace my stock ROM and I can choose AOSP to replace HTC Sense etc but I'm not sure if my GO Launcher will cross over to CM7. What about my apps? What about the apps placements on my home screens, would they be all reset or gone or what? I see a settings in GO Launcher that says it'll back up my GO Launcher configurations, would this restore my placements of apps on home screens? Also, I'm assuming the GO Launcher as the Desktop Dock apps for Windows and the CM7 as the OS of the computer. Am I assuming things right?
What's not working for HTC EVO 3D on CM7? I saw a video on youtube saying that the 3D video capturing doesn't work on CM7.
Regards

You're absolutely right. 4G and 3Ddo not work. But as development progresses, we're bound to be surprised.
Some widgets are ''Sense'' based so you might not see them cross over since cm removes sense. Apps should work.
I say dive in brother! Make sure to nandroid so that you can easily restore if you find its not your cup of tea.

Essentially, when moving from any type of Sense based ROM to an type of AOSP based ROM, you will probably lose all your settings, including Wifi passwords, brightness preferences, google accounts sync'd to the device, etc.
On the spectrum of ROMs available, view Sense on one end and AOSP on the other. Some ROMs try to sit in the middle and have features of both, but they always have to pick either Sense or AOSP as the base.
Sometimes you can move between different sense based ROMs and keep your settings/3rd party applications and sometimes you can't. Same goes for AOSP based ROMs.
If you've ever used a google device, G1, Nexus One, or Nexus S, they run pure AOSP by default. CM7 will be fairly similar to that type of experience plus some CM7 "tweaks/goodies".
Making a nandroid, as suggested above, is probably the best way to backup everything currently on the device, in case you want to revert. It will also help provide confidence when testing out new ROMs knowing you'll be able to revert to a previous one if something goes wrong.
To save you some time and help provide information on the next step, once you've selected a ROM and kernel how to make sure they are loaded properly.
If you're using the HTC unlock method on your device, there are basically two ways to load the kernel:
I've answered this type of question a few times in other posts. I've edited my answer from earlier this morning to help answer your question. Feel free to post back if anything isn't clear!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18807723&postcount=3
When booted into the custom recovery through the traditional methods, reboot recovery, bootloader -> recovery, etc., HTC unlock method does not unlock *kernel* write access but does unlock *system* write access.
The main issue around kernel write access is due to the HTC unlock method only allowing kernel write access in two modes:
1) Booted in normal Android mode. My application, Flash Image GUI, will flash any kernel .zip file with the HTC unlock method because it runs in normal android mode. HTC unlocks write access to the boot partition, where the kernel is stored, in normal Android mode. Flash Image GUI also properly loads the respective WiFi modules essentially eliminating this WiFi mismatch error.
2) Fastboot booted into the custom recovery using the following command: fastboot boot c:\android\cwm-recovery.img. HTC unlock method allows kernel write access while using fastboot boot of a custom recovery.

Oh! So I have to choose a ROM (I chose, CM7), Sense or AOSP and ALSO a kernel? My main purpose of flashing a custom ROM is to improve my battery life, get more customization options and cooler effects, no lags.
My status right now is I have S-OFF with Revolutionary tool and only GO Launcher installed. Where do I go now? Install Sense or AOSP (which one do you recommend), I understand E3D comes with HTC Sense 3.0 if that's the same sense we're talking about in above posts. Then install CM7? Which one goes first?
PS: I'm going to follow this tutorial: http://www.phonedut.info/tutorial-install-cyanogenmod-7-cm7-on-htc-evo-3d/

One more thing, if you don't mind. In the tutorial, it says it's for CDMA. Mine is GSM. Is there a difference between the two? If you say, yes, I'll look for another tutorial.

Yea, that is a problem. As far as I've seen, there is no CM7 release for the GSM version.
A great location to look for GSM compatible EVO 3D ROMs will be on the EVO 3D GSM developer board.

should I flash a custom ROM?

Been using my Vibrant ever since it came out and never deviated from the stock. The reason being that i intend my phone to be stable and want to use some of the t-mobile stuff which I fear may not be possible in other ROM. I've been reading the development section and I really have no idea which rom can fulfill my needs... since I couldn't find a list of stuff that doesn't work on those ROM.
Basically I'd like to retain the ability to use T-Mobile's wifi calling feature, plus the My Account app, (and 911, etc). Of course, the phone needs to be stable enough as I don't have a backup/landline phone. Optionally I'd like the new ROM to have a better reception in both cellular and wifi signal, as I feel they are somewhat lacking from all these years I've been using the phone.
If you think I should flash a custom ROM that's as bug-free as the rooted stock Froyo, I'd appreciate some suggestions

There is not a clear knowing of which rom will have issue with 911 dialing. As far as I know almost all if not all of the ICS and JB roms may have the issue. This user states he only managed to get 911 working on CM7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1952311
With CyanogenMod roms, you will lose T-Mobile WiFi (unless there is a way to install it to CM7 I'm not sure). The alternative is using Talkatone or GrooveIP which utilize Google Voice to make free calls. My Account and other T-Mobile apps are available in the Play Store.
If you do want to install CM7:
Download the 3e Installer and update.zip from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833423
Follow the instruction on the 3e installer, then put update.zip into the "/sdcard" folder, also download a CM7 rom into there. Reboot into recovery by holding both Volume buttons and Power button, release them when the Samsung logo appears. In the recovery, choose and select "reinstall package" twice until the green ClockworkMod menu appears. Flash the cm7 zip file. Before you flash, you should create a Nandroid backup.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you want to stick with stock, you can at least root the device. Follow the instruction above to get into ClockworkMod, but flash only the root package: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723479 (this only work with Android 2.1)
While you're at it, also flash the KB5 modem, which is the latest for the Vibrant, which can potentially improve signal: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036161
Before you flash any custom roms, I suggest you root the phone and try out the app LBE Security Master (link in my sig). It can do things like freeze apps (similar to titanium backup) and prevent apps from auto launching. It does help make the phone lighter and have other useful features like quick toggles. It's a powerhouse tool. The recent version have some issues with freezing app on my XPeria Play Gingerbread though, so try an older version if you have issues.
As long as your USB port is still functional, you can always use ODIN to flash the device back to stock.

If you want Wifi calling you are going to have to stick with 2.2 / 2.2.1 / or it has been known to work with some 2.3 ROMs
If you want to remain with stock but have a little added features try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1674519
The last Froyo ROMs I was a part of was Bi-Winning Redux (2.2.1) and Axura - Resurrected (2.2). Both of those roms are able to use Wifi calling. All are also able to use T-mo and Samsung apps.
Bi-Winning Redux
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1769424
Axura
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1787267
Those ROMs above (or any 2.2 / 2.2.1 in vibrant forum) should have working 911, and GPS with little issues.

Thanks for the information. I'm currently using the stock 2.2 (UVKB5). Did that e3 recovery thing and clockwork recovery sorta works... (only used it once to flash the latest (bugged) su binary). Bi-winning and axura both are cool looking mods. both says able do make wifi calls... is it not the same thing as Tmobile's wifi? I'm aware there are ways to route gvoice via wireless lan, but I'm trying to maintain two numbers

Yes the Wifi calling on those two ROMs is the T-mo wifi calling. The Wifi calling apps should be attached in the treads as well.

ROOT

Hey guys,
I just got a few questions with this,
Will i lose my apps, theme and such when installing only a ROOT?
Also what do you guys prefer as ROOT method goes, Chainfire and Odin?
I've seen a ROOT BAT program a while ago that realy did everything for you, i just can't remember the name at the moment...
With that i would also like to ask what happens if i update my device? Will i still be able to update it when Samsung pushes a new update ?
Would i need a custom flash recovery? I used to have a phone wich i did it on, But as this is more of my expensiver phone i aint looking to realy risk it. and due all my apps info etc, has well over 150 apps.
Thanks everybody

Bump,
Sorry if nagging but i'm kinda in a rush, if anyone could help me a little?

You'll lost Samsung warranty (no more assistance support, excluded mine and use for software problems [emoji6]), update check and the access to some proprietary apps (You shouldn't be able to download/update from Galaxy Apps).
Normally when you root the device, a CWM custom recovery is included, otherwise you can simply flash via Odin the excellent Philz Recovery, so you'll be able to flash a new Samsung-based rom (ARHD, ArchiPort, Omega, Imperium... aborting the limited stock) or try the greatful AOSP roms (CyanogenMod, Omnirom, PacRom, etc.).
Also custom kernels (BOEFFLA, Googy Max, ArchiKernel and some others, I prevent to cite you outdated ones) and mods (everything!).

My same problem: too many apps to be restored.
With MyBackupsPRO, the only working without root permissions, you can only keep some settings, contacts, SMS and MMS, then all your apps and games... but without any relative data.
Because as I said you're on an unrooted/official system.
I think you are using an external SD for documents and multimedia files, when you run the first start of your custom rom (highly recommend for the updates, instead the limited stock), be sure that the "Restore data from Google" option is checked.
A discrete help for you, better than nothing.
You have to think that when you did root, backups will be complete, via the greatful Titanium Backup or via recovery with Nandroid backup (my words should be useless if you already have experience with an old device).
Good hacking
As Samsung-based roms I suggest you Android Revolution HD 4.3 or ArchiPort to get the new and officially unsupported 4.4 system.
Pro:
-Compatibility with other Samsung devices;
-Much better camera stabilization than AOSP roms.
Con:
-Touchwiz is heavy for RAM memory and CPU performance;
-Many AOSP functions are completely removed or altered.
As AOSP rom I suggest you CyanogenMod 11, the M builds to have a more stable system, the nightlies for daily updates and less (but always enough) stability.
Pro:
-Latest updates daily/monthly available;
-Many features, AOSP and Cyanogen specific;
-Fully configurable, launcher can be completely replaced, at opposite of Samsung-based roms;
-Greater performance than Samsung-based roms.
Con:
-Some little bug;
-Poor compatibility with Samsung devices and proprietary apps.
As custom kernel, no better one than BOEFFLA: obviously OC and UV support, then lots of functions such "Touch to Wake", a great audio engine, zRAM support, a rich choice of governors and schedulers... it's available for Samsung and many AOSP roms.

Thanks for the great help,
I aint realy sure yet realy,
But isnt there a way you can simple backup almost everything with the PC?
I thought that was faster, then root it and get those back up on the phone with the PC?
Youve made me thinking realy as my phone was getting slower, Samsung OS isnt that great quiet slow indeed,
I might just drop a few games i dont play realy, so i can get my faster phone back as it used to be.
I used to love tweaking my phone realy, till it broke due rain, was a quiet cheap phone 150e or so.
Do you mind giving your SKYPE or Steam? so i could ask you there, Its been 2 years when i did this, some are kinda floating around in my head but i just cant remember it all anymore.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...msung-galaxy-s3-unified-toolkit-v8-0-t1979290
This is what i meant, Its simple and all in 1, just aint sure if its still up to date?

Via ADT Development Tool, you can do the "adb backup" command, but I think it will include the bootloader, so you'll restore the official and unrooted device state.
But I'm not sure, I never used to backup via PC.
Games are almost innocue, except for notification services who consume a bit of resources.
Can you tell me the heavier apps you're using?
According to your words, having too many apps you're not very satisfied about your performance... or I'm wrong?

Ye it used to be quiet a bit faster, Might be Samsung OS i forgot the name of the OS but anyhow, wizard or something,
Oh well, i will just do it i guess and i will see on the road what apps i need, the rest clearly seems that i dont need em if i never use em.
I'm guessing that the best would be Clockwork recovery and the SUroot? together with cyanogen ROM and buffalo.
As apps goes its basicly my home screen wich has quiet some widgets and such, all diffrent apps, in some folders like 100 apps etc.

SuperSU is included in CF-Root and so is the most known, but Superuser (from Clockworkmod, the other Superuser is obsolete!) is a great open source alternative.
The best recovery is Philz, always based on CWM, but with extra and TWRP functions.
CyanogenMod yes, is the better choicr and also the easiest choice for root newbies.
Ps Buffalo is a kernel? If it's true, try BOEFFLA, is considered absolutely the best.

Edit:
Tryed again, i cant reboot if i did it would get the old recovery back, so in a push method it worked,
Now SuperSU, i might get a ROM but aint sure yet, Do kernels work on the stock rom aswell?

Yes, BOEFFLA works also on stock rom (make sure to flash the correct zip file)... but I haven't understood your problem: can't reboot, old recovery back... what?

Ye nevermind that,
The problem is when i flashed my recovery, that when i reboot it switched automaticly back to the orginal stock recovery,
Only way to repair this was to not reboot, but goto the Philz recovery directly and reinstall the recovery program,
Also rooted it now,
So i can simple install Boefflo on my S3 international, With stock rom and ROOT, philz recovery?
If so that would be sweet ^^
As it should be more sufficient as far as battery goes, and a small overclock to like 1.6Ghz is reasonable ive heard,
1.8 is to high if i can believe those on some forums.

Since the last stable release you can overclock up to 1704 Mhz... and no more 1.5 Ghz step, I don't know the reason.
As I said, BOEFFLA works almost on every rom, but you habe to flash a different zip file for Samsung and AOSP roms.
Why can't you get a custom recovery? Are you sure to flash them reproducing properly the reported Odin guide (what to check in app, where to write file, etc.)?
It's a strange problem, rom "might" be cause by replacing the new recovery with the stock one, I think, but I'm not absolutely sure.

Well like i said i've fixed that,
The standard way to flash doesnt work, As once i get booted in Samsung ROM, It fixes it, So you have to goto your Recovery immeaditly when youve flashed it, and flash it again in the custom recovery, and then it does work.
Well i will see, aint sure yet if i will do it the kernel and romming.
Thanks for the help
