Yes, it's fine :)! However I keep them on there in case of an emergency.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EgorkaSanyok:
It's safe to delete them. What sort of emergencies could happen? You'd keep the files on your SD card if something could happen while you're away from your PC and ain't flashing anything.

I guess if you flash on the spot alot, or want to, you'd better keep those zips on your card. That or make constant backups and delete them when you make another, which can be more annoying and more space involved
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hedayat7:
in my opinions, you can delete it only if you have at least 1 nandroid backup via cwm.

but actually, in case you dont have any nandroid backup, cant boot and you also dont have the rom zip file to flash (so you can't flash anything):

1. you can take out your sd card, use card reader and put it to your pc.

2. copy the zip file to your sd card,

3. put it (sd card) back to your phone

4. walla, you have your rom zip file again.

but i think 200+mb of rom zip file is not a big deal to store in your sd card, right? :D
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runebune:
yeah, test the phone for some time and make a nand backup. Then you could delete the zip files if you like. I keep them on my SD card (32GB) so no need of the space.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryuji5864:
Has anyone managed to get ShootMe 0.8.0 working on the Motorola Atrix 4G w/ OLYFR_U4_1.5.2?

I read the ShootMe 0.8.0 After Root, Deodex? thread and followed Djazin's post

However, even after following the guide above I am unable to launch the application without an error message stating, "failed starting server. Please check that you have ***ROOT*** access on your device and enabled access to the lower level graphics."

Any suggestions?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rantatron:
I have the same issue; I'm guessing it's a question of the app not supporting the device, as it's updated so infrequently.

Hey guys look into the apps section a dev made a screen shot app that works on our phones

[Thunderbolt General] youneek:
I've always used 209 on most my devices but with this enormous screen I think we could go much smaller. Usually changing the density messes with certain apps. Anyone have suggestions on the best settings that has worked for them on the TB?
[Thunderbolt General] defsquad:
@youneek, i had tried both of the lcd density apps (paid and free ones) and neither of them works on the thunderbolt. quite disappointed because the first thing i wanted to do after rooting was to change that density.

*sigh*

hopefully the developers are working on it. i guess i need to go ahead and be pro-active and email them about it.

were you able to change it at all from the default 240?
[Thunderbolt General] nosympathy:
pretty sure you have to be rooted to change the density? if you are not it won't.

second, I came from the evo, and I liked 185. Only app it messed up was speedtest.net, and even then it was just smaller with spaces around it. I use swype so it making the stock keyboard all tiny didn't matter to me.
[Thunderbolt General] youneek:
You can manually edit your build.prop if you are rooted. I'm using 209 since widgets align perfect on LP when using extra columns. Might try to go one up and reboot while taking screen shots each time.
[Thunderbolt General] @RichyRich:
I'm using 210 and it works well for me, haven't really had the urge to make it smaller as of yet.
[Thunderbolt General] youneek:
Wow, 185 looks great. Just wish sense worked better for font overlapping.
[Thunderbolt General] two_cents:
some screen caps of the different density for those wondering

240 stock

210

185
[Thunderbolt General] nosympathy:
Terrible screen to show the difference lol. 210 and 185 look the same with your setup. I guess I should do screenies of mine since it is insanely different because I use Launcher Pro and not the stock launcher. Aslo apps like facebook will look dramatically different between 210 and 185.

Not trying to slam you or anything, just explaining because someone is going to ask why they don't look different.
[Thunderbolt General] two_cents:
I like sense so that's what I use... The 185 chops off the icon names... 210 is ok but it breaks the flip in the clock... Posted just to give an idea... No offense taken
[Thunderbolt General] nosympathy:
LOL I didn't even notice what it does to the sense clock. I guess if you want to keep Sense you will want to not use 185.

Although changing the LCD density on this phone is very different from the Evo that I came from. The density change on the TB only changes somethings, not everything, like it does on the evo.
[Thunderbolt General] Neo3D:
The thing I noticed about not setting a device to its correct native ppi, is that you won't get sharp 1:1 pixels but blurred antialiased pixels instead. Which makes sense, doesn't it?
[Thunderbolt General] t_reax:
build.prop

Using root manage i did a search for build.prop to play around (back up naturally) with the LCD Denisty. During the search i fould 2 build.props. One located /data/data/com.android.browser/app_plugins/build.prop and the other /system/build.prop... Do I need to sync the two values of will changing /system/build.prop be sufficient?
[Thunderbolt General] yareally:
Yeah, you can say that would be the equivalent of setting a 1920x1200 resolution lcd monitor on your computer to 1900x1080 or something lower. The screen will obviously be blurry because it's not the native (optimal) resolution. It's not a good idea to do that on your computer, so I am not following why it would be on your phone.

If I'm running a rom or kernel with voodoo enabled and want to use odin to return to a stock rom for a fresh start does voodoo have to be disabled or does it not matter due to using odin?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loganpimpman42o:
No I don't think it matters since odin pretty much erases the custom rom and kernel and puts the stock rom and kernel onto the device so I am sure it will not make a difference im sure over done it a few times

[Galaxy S I9000 General] waz000000:
I know this isnt galaxy related as such but please take a moment to sign the petition:

http://www.petition.co.uk/unlimited-data-fair-use-policy-removal

please please sign this and pass it on to as many people as possible.

This is to petition Ofcom to get communication providers to remove the word unlimited from their product descriptions where a fair use policy exists.

The oxford dictionary describes the word unlimited as:

1 not limited or restricted in terms of number, quantity, or extent:

If you are sold a product as unlimited that is what it should be, companies should no longer be able to use unfair practices enforcing restrictions when their product contains the word unlimited.

I urge everyone in the UK to sign this petition and stop companies falsifying their advertisements to sell their products.

As an example:

BT option 3 broadband unlimited has a fair usage policy of 100GB per month, logic dictates then that option 3 is 100GB and not unlimited.

Let’s stop ISP's from doing this no matter if it's home broadband or a mobile data plan.

Let’s get clarity in what we pay for and not allow companies to get away with it anymore!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kar200:
Hi mate,

We have the same thing in Australia. I believe the difference between unlimited with fair use and actually giving you the quota is that with fair use they cannot charge you more if you go over.

I think they have to actually discuss it with you and find solution. If the same thing happened with normal quota they actually will charge you on top which is quite expensive here.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJEgan:
Likewise as long as the FUP is clear before i buy and it usually is if you bother to look .

Agree with the word Unlimited is bad but that goes for ISPs as well as networks .

[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJEgan:
you should never under estimate the power of speech

But the right people have to be hearing it .

A single target with a massive feedback/complaints would be more effective as the effort is not diluted . If the single target then decides to adopt what is required rest assured that they will make publicity out of it forcing others to go that way .

One thing is for sure all you can eat internet over the networks will mean hefty price rises .

[Galaxy S I9000 General] azzledazzle:
Yea, true in that sense,

It could happen however, but it would need a lot more than the people on XDA to sign it, needs every person that has signed it to get their friends and family to sign it, and then their friends and family...... and so on....

But all i meant was power of speech can do good things. But TBH unless this gets millions of signatures, i think it will end up in the recycle bin.

I don't seem to have any problems but it could be my locations and the fact i never take the case off so i never know the difference. everything seems to be the same it was on my last phone and it didn't have a case on it so i guess i never really thought of it. why not use a piece of software to track signal strength and report back what you see with your case.

[Defy General] wizwin:
Hi all,

I have enabled the FM transmitter on Motorola DEFY using the sample FM test application from omap3 git. Please note its not an apk that you can install and its NOT for users (its only test code).

I have not yet successfully transmitted any audio but there seems to be some hope that it can be done. (provided all the required internal circuitry is present)

After a few modifications (and some ugly hacks) to the FM app, I was able to switch to TX mode, power on and set a frequency (tune) for FM transmission. Logs show promising results but I have to confirm if it is enabled for real. I have attached the log to this post.

Currently I am stuck with audio routing to FM transmitter. The FM test app seems to use ALSA to setup and get the routing done for some dev board. For Defy I am not sure how to get it working. I have to dig a bit more into audio API's and libraries. Any ideas? Sample apps/code or API's to get this done?

Just did this over the weekend and I am planning to mess around with it a bit more.

[Defy General] snath83:
the way things are going for motorola defy, it looks set to become the n900 of maemo or htc hd2, i.e. a legendary smartphone - and thanks a ton you all modders!

Seems like motorola has released a pandora's box without they knowing it themselves (speaks volumes about motorola's miscalculations about market positioning of the phone - even eldar murtazin was impressed by moto defy!)

Also, it is sometimes funny how on some other forums, users seem to know more than official moto folks - let's take the example of defy possessing a graphics chip - users knew it long before moto forum representatives could confirm it. And now if the above post is true, defy might soon have FM transmitting capabilities! What a great day!

[Defy General] AgentSmith:
That is not just one hurdle, that is THE hurdle. No unlocked bootloader no legend. This phone, however promising it seemed, just isn't becoming the new HD2. I am still not entirely sure if I rather should have bought the HD2 in the first place. But for the moment the waterproof case still makes the Defy the better one for me.

HD2 is the better computer, Defy the better phone. (Smaller screen yet more batterylife and outdoor capabilities
[Defy General] andy j:
nice but it was my understanding that the defy had the hardware but no way of transmitting due to the fact theirs no internal antenna.

what sort of range did you get?

Hi. I really dont get how to compile this. As far as I see, there are .cpp and .c files, so I think that they can be compiled with a simple gcc-armel. The thing is, I have to clone the entire GIT of omapzoom?

What I need to compile those? I have the SDK(working, aside the Java exception) and the NDK of android and nothing else.
[Defy General] wizwin:
Hi all,

I was a bit busy, out of focus and travelling. I did search DEFY's source code (kernel and framework) to find how data could be routed to the transmitter. I did not find anything interesting yet. :(

Steps pending:

1. Find how FM Radio Rx (stock FM Radio app) gets its data routed to external and 3.5 mm speakers.

2. Find out if there is code to send data via Tx path, if not, is it possible to add the same. (which may involve recompiling the driver/kernel)

There are many output devices listed in kernel source code for audio. (in kernel/sound/oss/omap34xx_audio_driver.c and kernel/sound/oss/cpcap_audio_driver.h). I am not sure if any of the output devices could be used for sending data to FM Tx.

@cocus:

a. You can use NDK and some modifications to the Makefile and source to get it compiled.

b. No you don't have to clone the entire git.

I can post a patch of changes I have done but currently it is ugly :P

Hi all,

I have attached 'FM_TX.zip' which contains the source code patch, dependencies and a README.txt (attached outside as well). Using this you can build 'fmapp' for enabling and testing FM Tx on DEFY.

'README.txt' has more information on steps, setup and more TODOs :)

All trolling aside. Android has a large selection of quality devices that you will be able to find off contract for a reasonable price - with some patience spent looking on ebay. If you want Android, buy a phone that was built from the ground up for Android.
