Hacks,Tweaks,Guides,Tips, Tricks, and Apps2sd for Zio

Check out Link2SD on the Android Market! market.android.com/details?id=com… This works for ,1.6,2.0,2.1, 2.2, 2.3, and 3.0.
When I gave this a try it let me install all my apps to SD card. Now I have almost 200 apps on my phone and still have tons of room left.
Check out the App review for Link2SD.

Tips and Tricks
Android Battery Saving Tips!
I have noticed that alot of Android users are always complaining about battery life. Yes its one of the major downfalls when it comes to the Android OS. One of the main reasons for this issue is that the OS has so much running in the background. Such as Sense updates, Push notifications, Facebook, and other applications that have to run in the back. Why you may ask, well cause Android is about getting things fast to the consumer. In may return drained battery life.
So here is a few tips on how to make your day go longer without running for a charger!
If your out and about and not under WIFI all day, turn your 3G or 4G off and use 2G. You will still get all emails and tweets but less Data use and Network searching. The Network searching is the main thing that drains battery. It searches and searches till it has the best connection. Sleep or awake.
Another great tip is to let battery drain till phone turns off! Then leave it off and charge for two hours or more. This is a battery learn procedure. If you do this two times a week or so, your battery will have longer life.
Last tip:
If your not using a application just uninstall it. Alot of apps sometimes run in the background without you even using it. You can verify this in your settings. (Menu,Settings,Applications, and Running Services.).

That link has nothing to do with tweaking or tuning. Can we have this sent to the trash?

He is not being a troll he was just stating a fact that we have a similar thread for this that pertains to both phones. So this thread is quite useless as it sits, and IMO does need to be deleted. And the fact that you are soliciting your website on here doesn't help your case either....just saying.

Thank you fate. If only I were a moderator.... hmmm.

Ya probably b/c this forum wasn't created until about a month and a half ago, And the fact that there is still no source code released for this device, that makes it somewhat difficult to make any significant modifications to the phone.
Anyway here is the thread I referred to in my last post.

This thread is only 1 day old...lol

Lets keep it relevant here please..

I'm not gonna you any more of a hard time, but my point is the fact that we have already started a thread with some of these same findings, and so far your findings are not relevant to any special Sprint only modifications, We have link2sd, we have sysctl settings tweaked... So what tweaks are you talking about that is so special on the Sprint ZIO that you cannot already do on the cricKet ZIO?

How to maximize battery

I read on another post something about maximizing battery life using rootwiki. Could someone explain
Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk

I think that they were talking about the 1% increment mod that was posted on rootzwiki. I used it myself and its pretty sweet
http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?6497-MOD-1-Battery-Increments

Does this mod acutally improve the battery life, or just change how acurate the display is?

It actually decreases battery life by a bit, as the OS has to read the value more often.

I think this is also another contribution to why HTC devices have low battery life.

Hello, Mods?
Why is this drivel allowed in development?
"Hello, please to explain what I see in another forum?!"
Jesus H. Christ, XDA has fallen on hard time when this is ok in development. No wonder TBH, Cyanogenmod, etc aren't using XDA at all anymore for development, announcements, etc. It's filled with 6th-graders who can't/won't abide by simple rules.

Fine, we'll do it your way
*HUGS FOR EVERYONE*

I feel like flaming dude shows a lower level of education level than 6th grade, it's the damn internet. No reason to get pressed over someone not knowing what they're doing.

Thread has been reported, lets all try to enhance our calm...
OP: For future reference, a post like this belongs in general. It does not contribute to any type of development and should not be posted in a development sub-forum. Also, if you have a question about something posted on another forum, you might be wise to ask your questions in that forum.

I didnt even know it was possible!

He is working on a new release, don't worry.
The thread will get reopened then.
You're not the only one doing vacations

Now that I think about it, its been a while!!
And I am posting my 100th reply!! Will be trying Owain's next build as a senior member!!

He has been online today.
Well my experience with cm9 is : lagging and unstable, big battery drain, loss of signal and flicker on the screen like the fps cannot follow.
You should go with cm7 instead or stock tbh.

However, still noticeable.

They had to screw something, as usual... Now the notification bar, when pulled down with 2 fingers, has a tendency to hide itself when I want it to go down... -.- It is really irritating for me.

Battery draining on jb 4.1

My battery is draining heavily.dont know the reason.below i'm posting screenshots of BBS...please somebody tell me any solution to this
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

when posting post also a screenshot of same time period cpyspy.
Match the time awake with the times from bbs. So reset stats at same time.
Then check partials.
From this small time period you sent we cant see anything special. So please provide at least a couple hours worth/day.
For further assistence do some reading in ahalfords wakelock thread, its stickied and will provide you with most answers you seek.
As a small tip, disable for boot/start at least all apps you only require to run on demand, such as apps/facebook etc. and kill them when not using. Especially the torrent app as you maybe seeding lmao. Seeding is good, but not when you require battery life.
Also, if battery older then 6 months expect degredation. See same thread or seek best condition advice. Manymany threads on that.
