Polaroid PMID 1000D

Hi "Elektrik"

Very Big Thanks for the info...

Am I to assume Your Modified 1000D Firmware does support this function..?

Ed

you could assume that, but you'd be wrong hehe. seriously though, although I could probably put in, since I don't have a tablet, my modified stock only adds the basics (init.d not being one of them)

Hi "mthous01" and all other readers....

While you did not say... I assume all these Hints work on the Stock Firmware.??

On the changing the Boot animation (Orange Swirls.?) did you have to have something
else or did away with it entirely... ??

As for me, all of the tweaks I used worked after installing SuperSU to help maintain the Root Access, both on Stock Firmware and on Elektric's Rom

And I just used PimpMyRom to replace the boot animation with the stock Galaxy Nexus animation from Jellybean. It's cleaner and doesn't hiccup noticeably on boot.

Hi "Elektrik" & "Mthous01"

First Thanks both of You for the quick reply...

I am trying to read between the lines...

Does "PimpMyRom" Create a New Firmware Image and you install that..??

If that is correct, Is the Image moved to the Main Computer and you use LiveSuite..

or do you some how allow it to over write the current OS all being done on the Tablet

Again Thanks
Ed

PimpMyRom is an app that edits the rom as-is on the tablet. No PC required.

I wish I had the know-how to pull the image from my tablet, and I could share.

Hi "Mthous01"

Thanks for the INFO...

When you get next to your Tablet ... Please look at the settings of SetCPU...

I am guessing in "Fantasy" mode you set Max & Min CPU speeds.... I would like to know
what they are...

================================================== =
On the Heat issue that you have spoken about in other Posts ....

Mine gets warm at the very bottom (where all the Ports are) felt with my hand ...

It seems like when you rest the Tablet in your lap in Landscape Mode the Vent holes
are blocked by your jeans...
I believe the Speaker Grill in inlet for Air... and Holes around Ports are used for Outlet ...

If you pick it up off your lap and position it where all vents are open it does cool down
rather quickly ...

I am assuming your using a Apk to read the temp... If so which one...

Just checking temp by hand, no app. Mine gets hot in the same place, and I noticed the same thing about cooling down. You need to change your governor from Fantasy (arrow beside it) to something like ondemand or interactive (built into the stock kernel). These will produce better response on their own, without tweaking frequencies. I think I set my min at 60mhz and my max at just above 900mhz (the tablet is my dad's and I won't see him for a little while). I didn't change anything else in SetCPU. This did reduce the heat some, but the performance overall is much better with a governor setting of interactive and the max set to around 1100Mhz (which is a 100mhz overclock). I saw no stability issues doing this, but the heat increased quickly, so I'd step it up one step at a time and test it for an hour to make sure you won't have issues.

Thanks Both of You for the Info...

It will take me a few days to actually get all this together...
Medical stuff going on ...

I will Post once I have it working like I want...

Thanks

Smoothing Out the Lumps

Hi to all Readers...

A Special thanks to "Elektrik" and "Mthous01" for there help...

Now to the Subject... "Killing the Lag"... This is specific to Polaroid PMID 1000D

This is all based on the Stock firmware... I assume all readers have the Google Play installed..
If not look for "SingleDad" he details it rather well....

1.) I turned off all Sync. (I had 4 email accounts that were sync)

2.) Download and Install... "SuperSU" by ChainFire... (Free Version)

3.) D/L "App Cache Cleaner" (Free Version) in setup set timeframe to 1 hour and tick clean at startup...

4.) D/L "AutoKiller Memory Manager" (Free Version) set it to "Aggressive" preset...
NOTE: each time you reboot your tab you have to reset the Aggressive...
The easy way to fix this is Buy the Pro Version for $4.62 and Reboot the tablet
and in setup will be a Tick for reboot.. to save the settings...

The down side of going with buying the Pro Version is there must be Internet connection
as it must check the Pro Key before starting the Memory Manager....

There are other ways around this but they are very complicated .....(ie) PimpMyRom

5.) D/L "SetCPU" (DO NOT tick Set at Reboot. Until your sure of what you want..)

Now the PMID 1000D has a ARMv7 Cortex A8 and when you look up the spec's
it says 600 mhz min and max > 1 ghz...

I set mine at tops 960mhz and bottom 600mhz... and I did tick set at boot...
This seems to be the best trade off .... Less Heat, Better Battery Life ...
and good speed for what I use mine for...

================================================== ======
When you first turn on your tablet wait for the Wifi to turn Blue...
This will give the memory manager a chance to check in...

Now I have noticed a Very Big Improvement .. over what it was before...
I have had the Stock Browser Stall and Pressed "Wait" for it to come alive ...

I hope this helps you get the Lumps out of your machine....

All very good points and all (with the exception of SetCPU-I haven't actually tackled changing those settings yet) are included in my Elektricity ROM which.....doesn't help you I'm afraid, but I can at least attest to what you're saying as being helpful to speed up your system.

You might try minfreemanager as another option for adjusting minfrees. That might work after reboot without paying for the Autokiller

[CaptED]

Thanks to Both of You...

Thanks for looking it over and seeing if I made any mistakes...

I will check in on the "minfreemanager" and see what it is like ...

Ed

[CaptED]

Requires "init.d"

Thanks "Mthous01" I did read the reviews on "minfreemanager" and it does require the "init.d"
(which I guess to be a Folder) but that is what is required for it to save on reboot...

Now from other post by You, I understand that PimpMyRom (PMR) will create this ...
I will attempt to use it once I get more info ... I do want to change the Animation on Boot...

Again Thanks

Alas, I will be little more help, as my Polaroid PMID1000d fell of the table and shattered. No insurance, no accidental damage, so I'm out a tablet. But much luck to you getting this to work a bit better.

Hi "Mthous01"

Sorry to hear about dropping your tablet...

I just fried a PMID 4311 Yesterday... Talking on Skype and took a big drink of water
and ended up spitting it on the device ... and Yes the side with all the openings ended up
with water in them....

Another trash item ...
