I used it on my Omnia 2 in my winmo days. With so many good alternatives available now in android, no desire to use it in my droid days.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] coolshadow:
Not very good app.

First load is very slow. take very long time.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] spotmark:
Really cool, but not $15 cool. Maybe if it were $4.99.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] sunder74:
Alternative agenda..

Everything I've read points to the fact that they are hoping to get picked up by a manufacturer as a UI like Sense, Blur etc. This may be more of a feeler effort to see what the community thinks. But the $15 price tag is a bit over my beta testing tolerance lol. I mean really...15 dollars? (not to mention most people around here bellyache over apps costing a dollar or two so I don't understand their reasoning as far as pricing goes.) It is "pretty" but as far as increased functionality I don't see any benefit and all that prettiness has to be a resource gobbling monster. I'll stick with LPP does all I need and more.(especially when fede is doing a complete rewrite to LP ;))
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] cbalt:
pretty cool, no where near being worth $15 imo. The fact that you cant delete other screens as far as I can tell is really a deal breaker for me. I have no need for more than 1 screen though.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Daswolven:
Guess I'm the only sucker who bought it. lol.

They made a lot of improvements over the beta. You now have 5 buttons on the bottom, two are changeable. There is an app drawer finally, and they fixed the screen reorganization and renaming issues. They also added a few more widgets, and the boot time is faster.

There's a lot I like about it, and a few I don't care for. Will be interesting to see what improvements they make from here.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] coolshadow:
From what you said, I can not imagine how slow the beta version is, as the release version is still too slow!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] juliano_q:
I bought it and it is really fast on my Nexus S. Much faster than ADW EX and LP. I really like it, but $15 is a bit expensive.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Daswolven:
Slow? This thing is slick in every way on mine. Nothing slow about it.

Main issue I have with it is that the screen icons still auto fill the first open slot.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] dclutter1:
It looks neat but, like everyone else said, too pricey.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] spotmark:
I wonder if they're doing something with it. It's currently not showing in the market.

Edit- NVM, it's back.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] coolshadow:
I mean the first time start it. Such as each time after you reboot your phone.

During usage, it's fast, but the loading while start the app is very slow!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] rlivin:
Working great here, a little pricey but will be worth it if they keep trying to make it better. Needs more spb widgets, like a facebook.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Zeromus2003:
Thanks folks for the feedback about this.... I went on and took the plunge and bought it. So far, it is running fast and great. You can not only delete/add new panes, but you can change their color too! I have mine looking very clean with a minimalistic look. So far, I am pleased with it. The SPB widgets look nice too!

They do need to turn off the auto-arrange setting though for icon/widget placement. This potentially has the chance to be one of the best launchers next to Go Launcher EX or ADW EX.

My $.02
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] phatmhat:
i think its stupid how much ppl put on their homescreens. how much effort they put into making their homescreens look just right. all this "well my homescreen goes to 11." stuff.

dont you want to be able to look at your screen and click once on an app and use it? i guess not. i mean seriously, 3d scrolling of 8 windows? wtf! just let me turn on my phone and click on the app i want to start.

too much form. little function. too high price for that. lame.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] xat.mobile:
it's very smooth and clean; the deal breaker for me, however, is the lack of scrolling widget support

My apologies first, If the requirement mentioned in the subject is repeat one.

I guess, most of the newbs to WP7 might not understand terms like 'Jailbroken', 'Unlocking', 'Locking' etc etc.

I remember, some of senior members here, had created a glossary of terms in WM 6.5 development forum. I suggest, we also need the 'Glossary of Terms' for WP 7.

Please advise.

[Nook Color General] ADude:
Is there such a thing as a pocket size Android device that is not a phone - but has all the other features of a smartphone ?

In other words, a wifi-only Droid/Evo/Thunder/HD2 ?

I was struck by what someone said about the Nook Color, that they did not need the camera or the microphone, because their pocket phone has those things. I do not have a smartphone, because I do not want a big monthly data bill.

But I could use something that could scan UPC codes (or QR codes), take quick photos, and could do voice activated tasks that do not need the nice large screen of the Nook.

Thanks !
[Nook Color General] JLCollier2005:
Maybe someone else can back me (or correct me) up on this as I'm just taking an educated guess here, but any deactivated phone would do this. If you're only looking for a wifi version, that is. You might wanna look into it more, but picking up an old Droid (probably pretty cheap) would work. You would have access to the market via wifi and all that.
[Nook Color General] animatechnica:
yep get used droid, you can use its camera, gps, download textfree/pinger and get text messaging

If you want something radical try, www alwaysinnovating.com/products/minibook.htm

There is also the samsung galaxy pmps, www linuxfordevices.com/c/a/News/Samsung-Galaxy-Player-4-and-5/

Also look at Archos, but their smaller units tend to be resistive touch screens so check the descriptions well.

And finally a google search for 'android pmp camera' should turn up a couple hits.

Cowon D3 :)
[Nook Color General] dsf3g:
This is my thinking on the matter, too and is the reason why I still use a cheap Chinese Windows Mobile 2G clone phone through T-mobile. However, I've noticed that Phone companies are starting to roll out small data plans for about $10.00 a month. That might be enough to get me to finally buy a smart phone, given that I'd mostly use WiFi for data.

Once tethering plans become affordable I'll probably go with that, but I'm talking $15.00 a month on top for data & tethering, and who knows when (or if) prices will ever reach that level (especially with AT&T swallowing up T-Mobile... yaaay, go duopoly!)

Samsung is making one galaxy player I think its going to be called
[Nook Color General] Nburnes:
Too bad reviews say it is terrible :(

I would say simply wait for the Samsung Galaxy Player to actually be released, hopefully this spring.
[Nook Color General] ADude:
I am now looking into this, there are lots of Droids on ebay.

I assume that "BAD ESN" only matters if you are going to use it as a cell phone, and for Wifi use, it would not matter ?

Also, I noticed in the completed listings that some with cracked screens sold for just as much as ones without flaws. Why is this ? Is there some easy way to get the screen fixed ? (Just curious on this one.)
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] suppliesidejesus:

There is an application in the Market called Quick Settings. If you have Froyo, this application has a feature that hacks the built-in Hotspot app and makes it work without carrier requirements!! I have tested it, and it works GREAT so far. Give it a shot!

[Q] cm7 cpu setting or setcpu?

well atm i am running an evo 4g with cm7 and i just switched my kernel to savaged zen and it's running great. my phone was rebooting on its own w/ the regular cm7 kernel i think its b/c i was using setcpu and people are saying it messes up cm7.

so i was wondering if anyone knew if i can use setcpu with cm7 and savaged as the kernel or if it's possible to make profiles on the cpu settings on cm7 i saw some1 post somewhere that you can but they never explained how. :cool:

p.s. please also visit this thread on battery life
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
AFirst of all, all SavagedZen kernels are Havs kernels (as far as I remember, I'll double check in a few). Anyway, if you are using a Havs kernel, changing cpu settings is pointless/counteractive. I would either leave the settings alone or switch to a no-havs kernel. You can check in settings>about phone.

EDIT: However, if you must mess with the settings, you can find them in Cyanogenmod Settings under Performance Settings. I don't know of a way to set profiles from that screen, though - only max/min & governor.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Green_Arrow:
hi i have an evo running cm7 and i had setcpu and my phone kept restarting however i looked up setcpu again in the market and it said that they just ran an update to stop the problem with cm7, does this mean that setcpu is better to use than the cpu setting in cm7?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blakeboys:
You shouldn't need setcpu use the cpu setting in cm7. They put it there for a reason, those guys are sharp!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
I still use setcpu because I like my screen off profiles etc. You should update your setcpu if it prompted you to. I think the latest changes were for cm7/GB.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Green_Arrow:
Yes but it doesn't let u make profiles unlike setcpu, or does it?

I believe the profiles is definately the most useful
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Green_Arrow:
It says it was for cm7
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serdna75:
I believe the SavageZen governor is a specially tweaked/optimized version of the SmartAss governor.

And if you use Smartass/SavageZen governor, I think it also automatically undervolts when sleeping, and essentially mimics what a screen-off profile in SetCPU would do.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Green_Arrow:
but how exactly does havs control battery usage? and if i use setcpu wouldn't the havs not function only setcpu will function b/c of priority?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Green_Arrow:
how do u use Smartass/SavageZen governor?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] egzthunder1:
Threads Merged... please post your question once.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
In CM Settings, go to Performance Settings & then CPU settings. Under available governors choose SavagedZen or Smartass. I'd try them out & see which you like the most. I prefer SavagedZen, I seem to get better battery life & performance.

Personally I have never needed a task killer while on CM7, so I am going to recommend against it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Green_Arrow:
Well I had talked to someone else that is using it like that and they said they get amazing battery life
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
I say no toward any kind of task killer. First of all, they're pointless. You're killing stuff that isn't using any power to begin with, which then restarts anyway. The task killer itself is actually doing something, running on a set schedule, where as the tasks you're killing are just sitting in memory for faster opening.

It bugs me that even the techs at Sprint recommend it, so every person that doesn't know anything about how their phone works thinks it's necessary. Then in the market for every clock widget you see everyone going "like zomg the clock doesn't keep time your app sucks 1*" because the damn task killer is killing it. That's if they can even figure out how to use it & not complain that it "won't open", despite clear instructions on how to put a widget on your screen.

Sorry, totally went off on a rant there.

But yeah, stay away from task killers & let Android do its job. You don't have to have a ton of memory free for your phone to run perfectly fine under normal usage. I don't notice a difference between 300mb & 50mb free. If you don't worry about it, you won't either.

Free memory does not equal more battery.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Green_Arrow:
but doesn't free memory mean less things are running or even being used just a tad bit which does mean a better battery life?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt2053:
No. Memory has nothing to do with battery.

Screen, radios, and CPU use battery and that's about it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Green_Arrow:
So do u agree w/ system panel/juice defender?

I'm currently using CFS kernel (savagedZen-0.2.1-CFS-HAVS-WiMAX-FROYO-signed.

While using the SavagedZen under scaling on SetCPU is there a point to putting a max there? Should the governor automatically overlock as needed or should I be using SetCPU to do that? Am I overwriting the point of the kernal when using setCPU?

I've been using it for about a week now...awesome batterlife when idle...using it however has a increased depletion rate.

Edit: I see this is for CM7 but figured the setCPU/SavagedZen question are the same.

[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Edit> The OP did PM me about my request for PVT4 but as yet its not here so to help others, I shall put it below:

Essential information before rooting

Current Android Software version

Settings>About phone. We need to check if your software is the ARA build (ARA 2.xx.415.x) this is the Arab build

Hboot version, PVT and Erase size.

Boot into Hboot (from off, hold volume down and press power)

Make a note of your Hboot version - Must be lower than 1.06

Make a note of your PVT version. If it is PVT4 you must now check if the erase size is 40,000

"Download Terminal emulator" from the market and open it.

Type "cat /proc/mtd" and press enter. It will return results of either 20,000 or 40,000

The reason we need to know the above:

The ARA build dictates you use unrevoked 3.32 (3.21 is best for anything else)

If erase size is 40,000 Amon RA 2.0.1 is better as Clockworkmod recovery supplied with Unrevoked does not work.

To select a recovery different to clockworkmod in unrevoked, before connecting the phone, go to File > Custom recovery

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the instructions !!

I want to unroot my phone, in order to unlock it, then I'll root again.

I have couple of questions:

1) If I take Nandroid backup now that I'm rooted and have custom Rom, can I restore my phone using this backup after I've unroot and root my phone again using same method ?

2) I tried to flash my Desire with shipped RUUs, tried different ones, but none of them worked and they gave me error that the RUU doesn't match my phone or sth .. So someone told me that they have a solution to this. He said I just have to get the rom.zip file from the RUU and rename it to PB99IMG.ZIP and put it in the root of my SD card and using bootloader, I can unroot and go back to stock froyo. The problem is when the bootloader looks into my SD card to find the zip file, it doesn't find it !! I tried different SD cards and changed the name to PB99IMG with and without ".ZIP" and none of them worked !! What am I doing wrong here ?

3) I got an unlock code from interenet, my friends used that website and they unlocked their unrooted HTCs successfully, but I can't because it said I the phone ahs to be unrooted, is that right ?

Many many thanks in advance :)
