    Thread Why is Android killing running apps instead of old apps when low memory?

    Using Lollipop on my device with 1 GB of RAM, I've found that I have trouble using Maps Navigation and Play Music together. Frequently, if I start Nav and then Music, Nav will be closed. Conversely, if I start Music and then Nav, Music will be closed. Further, I've discovered that if I open...

    Thread Can we use the F2FS file system on our GNex instead of EXT4?

    The Moto X (and more importantly, the Moto G) are using F2FS on their /data partitions and are seeing great I/O performance--even the Moto G, which is using essentially MicroSD eMMC is performing very well, and it's attributed to F2FS. Is it possible to merge the patches required for F2FS...

    Thread [Q] ICS HW Acceleration: Why aren't most ROMs using "true" HW Acceleration?

    A lot of ROMs are starting to show up for ICS, but curiously, many of them say something like "Hardware Accelerated, but not completely." I'm rather confused by this. What's happening? For example, I ran a test ROM for the EVO 4G that was really slick (and I could've been convinced was HW...

    Thread [Q] CM6: BT works in RC1, breaks in RC2 & 6.0.0 Final. Why?

    I've made this post in the Development section to little avail--CM RC1 BT works great for me in my car, yet RC2 and Final fail. I haven't seen other posts depicting problems, so I'm at a loss as to why it's only me with the issues. For reference, I have a 2009 Elantra with the built-in BT...

    Thread Android CPU-scaling functionality in the OS?

    Does Android support automatically scaling CPU speed on devices to conserve power when it isn't needed? For example, mobile CPUs in laptops and netbooks do this automatically (as long as enabled), scaling a CPU's clock in order to conserve battery life. This seems like a no-brainer for a...
