Except 3D will only work in landscape mode so I highly doubt that
[HTC EVO 3D] greg.dassing:
Both Launcher Pro and ADW allow for a landscape homescreen so I'm positive that devs will be working on a 3D homescreen while in landscape
[HTC EVO 3D] novanosis85:
What's the point? Normal usage is in portrait.

I understand tablets but not on the EVO.

I guess the point is just because you can and you are right.
[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
"3D mode is available for both landscape and portrait mode on the HTC EVO 3D while LG Optimus 3D supports 3D mode only in landscape mode.

Using portrait mode is inconvenient because of its high cross-talk ratio and rainbow effect."

http://blog.gsmarena.com/htc-evo-3d-vs-lg-optimus-3d-taking-the-fight-to-another-dimension/

The models they showed at CTIA had both, I don't know where people are getting that the 3d only works in landscape.
[HTC EVO 3D] XXX-X:
3D is ON

The image describes it all

Vertical or Horizontal, angle doesn't matters, HTC has done a gr8 job, 3D is ON..
[HTC EVO 3D] hdad2:
This is awesome. Multiple people had "confirmed" it only worked in landscape. At least that's what I was able to read around here and AC.

Can someone with a device settle this once and for all?
[HTC EVO 3D] RVDigital:
Autostereoscopy via Parallax Barrier

Because the screen is built to provide Autostereoscopy via the landscape mode, you're eyes would have to be vertical (one on top the other) to view the 3D in Portrait mode.

This is the exact same technology utilized in the Nintendo 3DS

An Article covering Autostereoscopic.

From the Article covering Parallax Barrier:

The only possibility I can see of the device having the ability to do both Landscape and Portrait in 3D is if (and a big IF) the Parallax barrier was an LCD layer, not something static, but something that was dynamic, changing depending on device orientation. It would be the first of its kind I believe. Again, BIG IF. For an example, think about the 3D glasses that are out today for Home 3D TVs. The Glasses utilize a very thin LCD layer (or screen) in each lens to create a flicker effect, allowing you to decode the image being translated. Big downside to this, loss of picture quality (brightness, contrast, and color). If this was a possibility for the EVO 3D, I'd rather NOT (NO WAY) have such a feature. Considering HTC is touting the Quality of the screen, I'd be very surprised to see them go this route.
[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
Just chalk it up to magic :)

Maybe someone who has used one can verify that this is the actual screen it is shipping with though.

"MasterImage 3D achieves the effect through its patented cell-matrix parallax barrier technology, which uses a cell gap approach that enables landscape and portrait modes, provides a 10 degree viewing angle, and reduces the Moire pattern that causes ghosting."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MasterImage_3D
[HTC EVO 3D] guyandhisdog:
Didn't you post this in another thread, too?

Um...thanks (again, I guess)

And my eyes ARE stacked vertically so I'm not even worried about missing any "precious " 3D experience

whatever

2.3.4 on a Hero? Yup
[HTC EVO 3D] hdad2:
Someone with the phone needs to confirm this. Seems like something that would have been advertised if it was really in the device. 3d in portrait puts them a step ahead I'd say.

Averix at android central forums tried it a while back and says that it only works in landscape. Thread link:

http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-evo-3d/94209-ask-phil-about-evo-3d-14.html

Apparently when looking at a photo in 3d, if the phone is rotated to portrait, it will tell you to flip it back to landscape.
[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
Just had yet another person say 3D does work in portrait mode using one of Sprint's advocate devices. Apparently it won't play videos in portrait regardless of if it's in 2d or 3d.
[HTC EVO 3D] hdad2:
That's sweet. I've probably watched 2 dozen hands on and review videos and not one has shown this. So if it has 3d in portrait, then what can you do with it if not videos? I know that future apps might be able to use it, but right now, what sort of content would be 3d in portrait? Photos? How did this person confirm it?
[HTC EVO 3D] hdad2:
Just found this comparison with the optimus 3d. At 3:30 into the video, he launches a 3d photo while still in portrait. Then he quickly rotates to landscape. Because of the video perspective, I can't tell at all if the photo shows in 3d in portrait or not. But I definitely didn't see a message saying to rotate to landscape.
[HTC EVO 3D] Product F(RED):
3D doesn't work in portrait because the parallax barrier (the actual piece of hardware over the screen that adds the 3D effect) is laid out horizontally. It's the same thing on the Nintendo 3DS.
[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
Not sure, hopefully someone who has one already will chime because I'm just going by what others are telling me so far.
[HTC EVO 3D] royshero:
A screen protector shouldn't ruin 3d correct?
[HTC EVO 3D] jxr94:
FINALLY, a good question.

Nah I don't think so because most screen protectors are near invisible as it is.
[HTC EVO 3D] hdad2:
Are we sure,

I mean really sure

, that HTC does not use 2 parallax barriers. One for landscape, one for portrait and a software to switch between them?

One one hand, we have GSM arena saying that it has portrait 3d as well as someone xHausx talked to has confirmed it also.

On the other side, Averix at AC forums tried it and says no 3d in portrait. Admittedly, the one he played with was an early unit. Plus a bunch of people here who say that parallax technology can't do it.

I don't pretend to know. But it is either a mistake on the part of GMS arena, LG for responding to it, and someone xHausx knows who has the device

or

it is one of the coolest differentiators that HTC totally failed to mention.
[HTC EVO 3D] charlie hustle:
thisis the quote i got from phil @ardroidcentral. even though it has been answered many times already for you..
[HTC EVO 3D] Stalte:
I can't wait till I have this phone. So I can finally watch the reviews of this phone and find out if the 3D is working in portrait or not. Lol :D

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gephross100:
does anyone know if the wiimote app wil work if you are running cognition? the dev says it doesnt work on the captivate but it will work on the captivate if you are running something like cyanogenmod

http://android.ccpcreations.com/wiicontroller/wc-compatibility

would be cool to pickup a wiimote and use it for game roms :P
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RyanFromQA:
According to the Dev's site, it won't run because of "Samsung's Software" which could be TouchWiz, or something more like the Bluetooth drivers or software stack. Cognition always tries to be the closest thing to stock but freeing limitations and making it faster and smoother. So I doubt he removed too much Samsung software. A more aggressive rom (like Phoenix) might work or maybe you just need a different kernel/modem combo.

[HTC Inspire 4G] BillTheCat:
This might be just my imagination playing tricks on me, but after rooting/Soff/Flashing my Inspire, I seem to notice that the interface is not quite so snappy as it was with the stock AT&T ROM. I've observed it with both the rooted base stock ROM from Bubby and with the RCMiXHD_v5.1 Gingerbread ROM.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gunstar_Hero:
I just rooted mine last night, and it seemed a tad slow (Milliseconds :D) until I restarted it, now, theres not enough difference for me to care.

Wait, scratch that, my slowness was caused by a messed up set cpu setting, my phone was fine last night and today under normal circumstances.
[HTC Inspire 4G] BillTheCat:
Hmmm... ok, so how does one change the CPU setting?
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
Most gingerbread roms are going to be a little laggy for the simple fact that the base is a leaked version of gingerbread. Until they get a fully operational version with source released or port the Desire Z rom it will continue to run a little slow.

Try flashing ClearDroid or TCP stock, you will be able to tell a difference in speed.
[HTC Inspire 4G] leemoss84:

[Defy General] emulao:
Yesterday I tried to install ScummVM 1.2.1 in my Defy Barebones 1.3.

When it finishes loading a black screen appears and the cpu usage become 100%.

I tried all the versions. Some old ones crash with an error message.

I think maybe it's caused by de app launcher (Zeam), since I have seen post about similar problems with battery icon mods and themes.

Any help, please?
[Defy General] naenee:
Consider temporarily using a different launcher, for the sake of ruling out that Zeam is the culprit.
[Defy General] emulao:
I tryed, but since Zeam is flashed...I don't know if it makes a diference at all.Anyone with Barebones is capable of running ScummVM?

Sorry for posting this here

(And not in the forum for my custom ROM but i will have to spam 6 more messages to get to my minimum of 10 before I can do that)

Anyway, the default avatar in the contacts is boring...i would much more prefer an avatar like mine on the left.

Thanks to Wolfbreak.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smnsnt:
Well you have to open contacts.apk with 7zip or winrar then go to this directory: res/drawable-hdpi-finger/, in this folder you will find; ic_contact_list_picture.png, ic_contact_picture.png, ic_contact_list_picture_2.png, and ic_contact_list_picture_3.png

Just replace these four files with any picture you like. Just remember to use .png files and make them the exact same size as the original files

after you finished just replace everything that you have modified in your .apk file

then you may flash it using xRecovery

...in case you dont know how to do this...

Youre using Wolfbreak's rom, right?

Just go to the file "CMUpdate 4.5.7.zip" open it

go to: system\app\

place the "contacts.apk" that you have just modified here, and delete all the rest apk files in there

then flash it

hope this helps =]

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ill_dawg:
none I know of. You could add more screens, or use something like LauncherPro or ADW to make the widgets themselves scrollable. Smaller scrollable widgets will free up more space. Really, though, why not just add another screen? scrolling left and right is almost the same as scrolling up and down.

its disabled for other reasons besides performance. The performance increase isn't that much. Maybe 50-100 points in quadrant. The main reason for journaling being disabled was to save the nandchips. With journaling enabled it writes more to the nandchips and every write decreases the life of the phone. If I remember correctly with journaling enabled the life of the phone decreases drastacly putting us under the life expectencly of rfs. With journaling disabled are phones would last longer then then if we kept rfs

midNIGHT ROM v5 (No Tweaks) RFS/EXT4 JOURNALING ON/NCIQ

Now we can all move on... :)

Again, mystery was correct. The point of turning journaling off was not to increase performance (that's more of a side effect really). It prolongs the life of the phone that you all seem stress over so much :) The downside is that there is a risk of data corruption. But honestly, that risk is always there with electronic tech. The people complaining really are a minority, just a VERY VOCAL minority.

I don't know how many times I'll be doing this and I won't focus a lot of support over there but there you go. Now you have the choice. If you don't like my ROM's then stick with one of the other developers AMAZING work. And really guys.....it's a phone... It's really not all that important and certainly not worth stress.. We replace them every 2 years or take it to Sprint for a replacement. Just back your data up....
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curvatura99:
You think the performance increase without journaling is significant? Well really it's not:

thunk.org/tytso/blog/2009/03/01/ssds-journaling-and-noatimerelatime/

This debate was covered ad nauesem when netbooks with SSDs first arrived.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ptfdmedic:
No one turns journaling off in their ROMS for performance gains. It limits the writes that's it. It was done when everyone was freaking out that EXT4 was going to kill their phone. Now that that concern was addressed people are still complaining about the solution.....really. Come on guys NOT that big of a deal.

I just gave you all the option you were looking for (more or less). Nothing left to complain about.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curvatura99:
Who's complaining? I'm just pointing out that the reasons given for not using a journal on SSDs were already discussed ad nauseum. It was a dead issue before ext4 was even available for Android.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryanberlin:
J=on for sure dont care for headaches
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ptfdmedic:
I didn't mean to quote your post. It wasn't directed at you.

It's just frustrating from a development standpoint because many of us bend over backwards to try and meet the needs of the Epic community as a whole. People complain because they want ext4. Dameon brings it to us and them people complain that there are tomany writes when compared to RFS. So mammon turns off the journaling and now people complain that they want it back.

You guys have to understand that if we could make everyone happy we would but clearly that's just not possible. So the next best thing is to make the majority happy. Look, the reality is that MOST people want ext4 with journaling off. My ROMs are downloaded thousands of times each release and MAYBE a few people make that request...MAYBE. It's not enough to justify the headaches of mutiple versions..and yes it is a headache. My suggestion is stay stock or grab a ROM ( just released 2 this morning) that's isn't so tweaked out. That maybe the best possible solution. If the majority opinion changes and it could, then we will adjust our direction. As of right now that direction is clearly ext4 with NO Journaling. :-)
