[Desire Android Development] Terepin:
(For mods: Since I'm asking directly ROM developers about ROM development, I'm creating this thread in development section. Move it to Q&A section if you find it necessary.)

I was always wondering why we are using only ext partitions for storing apps, when there are many others, maybe better even, for example RFS and BTRFS. The best choice would be exFAT, but I guess Linux kernel doesn't support writing to it yet. I would test it myself, but editing A2SD script is out of my league and I'm not sure which kernels support which file systems. I believe it's worth the try, as different FS may behave differently on different SD cards.
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
melethron explored this with his data2whatever script. He explored the many file systems etc.

I tried RFS and whilst it was a definite performance boost, it wasn't as stable as ext4 (various issues with different things). Check it out if you want to look at it
[Desire Android Development] grooltor:
Uhm... I don't think that external storage is a real problem. Since we're all using deodexed ROMs, apps run from the dalvik-cache. ClassicalDude pointed this out very well in his tut: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=992176

The only problem in using a "slow" FS in external storage could happen when installing or restoring apps, but this is more than acceptable IMHO.

So the quest is to keep things we need to be fast into NAND (basically DATA and dalvik). I think you know well how coolexe, baadnewz and robocik implemented this in their HD/Z ROMs by moving /system/app and /system/framework to SD-EXT (but keeping dalvik-cache on DATA).

Thanks to the 10 post rule I can't post this to development where it should be.

Running this ROM, My Tracks force closes immediately after accepting the license agreement. I wiped and have been manually installing apps (no backup/restore that might have caused problems).

The logcat shows a java exception. My guess is that the ROM is advertising itself as a later version of Android (Honeycomb?) because the failure is in an object that contains "Gingerbread" in its name...

[HTC Incredible S] rimvydukas:
Hi,

While reading IS review on pocketnow.com I've found them saying that the screen sensitivity on IS is not good. But I'm interested and with others opinions from actual owners of IS. Thanks.
[HTC Incredible S] doctorsax:
I think it's very responsive myself. The only problem I've had in that regard is that I have to press down for a split-second before I swipe down to unlock the screen, otherwise it doesn't respond properly - but I've seen this on other Sense-based phones too.
[HTC Incredible S] TimMun:
Perhaps the reviewers were on some kind of experimental drug.. i don't know.. i am too.. but, anyway. the screen sensitivity is just great. Have been using the IS for about three weeks now. Not one hick-up, restart, freeze what so ever.

it has been flying fast all the time.
[HTC Incredible S] gudge:
If anything IMHO its a little over sensitive, sometimes it feels like I don't actually have to make physical contact before the IS makes the action.
[HTC Incredible S] BIGMOH:
I have to agree with you, the response time is instant, i haven't rebooted the phone since i started using it. roughly been 3 weeks 2 days uptime.

Although i sometimes hear an echo on my end but when i ask the person on the other end abt the quality of the sound they all say its crystal clear :S
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
Yes, definately also something I have noticed! This never happened with my Legend, so the screen of the IS must be more sensitive!
[HTC Incredible S] Sebastian768:
Ive noticed this and Ive been trying to figure out what it is. Swiping between home screens is slower than on my Legend and it takes a more firm/resolute (I have to overerly excagerate the finger movement) to get it to move sometimes. It starts moving, but then it stops.

Ive got a small metal piece stuck between screen and phone body, so this might affect my device. Read own post on the matter http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1021486
[HTC Incredible S] DoGGToR:
This is exactly what I have noticed. You might could say, it's just too sensitiv.
[HTC Incredible S] kalevs:
I haven't had any sensitivity issues - so far so good
[HTC Incredible S] RottenRonnie:
I have a mate who got this phone & he is having issues with applications opening without him touching the screen he just has to put his finger about 2mm from screen & they open eg messages/camera etc.

Anyone else having this problem ?

Is there a setting he can change to fix this sensitivity issue especially as he has moved from an old Nokia non smartphone ?

[HTC Incredible S] Sightr:
Yup mine is like this too.
[HTC Incredible S] letmedanz:
lol. seriously, the guys who reviewed must have been smoking something really good ;)

or they were plain prejudiced or paid to say so.

i would dare say this is the best touch screen i have ever used.

the sensitivity is just great... feels good to touch!

Same sensitivity as my desire... better than my galaxy s 4g...

Hello dear droid pro users, i bought a droid pro from ebay and just received it yesturday (Live in Kazakhstan, central asia). The phone i received reboots every 5-15 minutes with no particular reason. Here's what i tried to do, non of it helped:

1) Factory reset the phone from the phone settings - did not help

2) Hard reset by holding R and M button and swithching the phone on, then going to a reset and erase cache procedure - did not help

3) Updated the software through internet connecting the phone - did not help

3) Swithing between global mode/GSM/CDMA modes - did not help

4) Unmountind SD card and working without SD (maybe SD card was bricked) - did not help

5) Unmounted SIM card and used without network (thought it was conection issue) - did not help

6) Tacked off the battery for 1 hour :-) - did not help

7) Did all procedures step by step done in followind post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=923552 - did not help

Does anyone know how to solve this problem, or i just thow the phone away:mad: Thanks in advance

[Droid Pro General] macstibs:
I think the initial run of phones was so-so quality wise. I have a reboot problem as well that seems to be linked to either the GPS subsystem and/or the charging subsystem.

Probably call Verizon at some point and ask for a warranty exchange.
[Droid Pro General] joeystarr:
One interesting point is that it does not rebbot when it's charging. Could a battery replacement solve this problem? Or it's the phone's power management problem?
[Droid Pro General] motostigr:
I doubt that in this problem to blame the battery. In any case, flashing the device does not hurt. If firmware does not help then the problem is really in the gland.
[Droid Pro General] joeystarr:
I blamed the battery too, and found this kind of rare battery from someone else and tasted it... did not help. After several fission ROM'ing and flashing with no results, it's 98% problem of the phone hardware.

You do not have to do anything.

While switching roms, you only wipe your data/cache/davik

Your music/photos will be in your SD

So it will still be available after changing roms. :)

[Nook Color General] madguy2006:
Hello- first of all thank you for all the efforts that you guys (xda-developers) have put into making Nook Color a cool tablet.

I have pretty much gone through all the ROMs out there and have a few questions:

1. I am looking for a ROM that does not have this phone, camera and other not so relevant stuff for Nook Color. I want my Nook Color to feel and run like a tablet and not like a tablet running phone OS. Is there one out there?

The stock ROM does have more of a e-reader/tablet feel but the home screen sux (I think).

2. The buttons/soft keys in the ROMS I have tested are tiny and hard to use. Once again that is one of the good things about Stock ROM it has big buttons and if you have big fat hands like me they are easier to use. Any mod/theme/setting to make all the buttons typically BIGGER?

Thanks again for your work and support!

(If i have asked questions and have already been asked, my apologies. Please direct me to the relevant thread)
[Nook Color General] dsf3g:
Doesn't changing the screen density do this? I believe some people change the screen density to a value of 250 or so to make the icons appear bigger. I think it does cut something off, though. Do a search, it might be what you want.
[Nook Color General] rogerdugans:
Tablet Tweaks is the thread title I think.

I am on my phone now so no links or long post.

Your best bet MAY be honeycomb, long term.

The tablet tweaks are still being tested but are a tremendous improvement.

right now it is a separate rom (based on latest CM7) compiled every few days by the dev

It IS considered at best beta last I knew. Project is only a week or so old.

I use CM7 with the tablet tweaks and oc kernel and have few problems; everything that does act up is being worked on actively.

I use zeam as my launcher with stock rooted. I don't see any 'phone' artifacts anywhere. I imagine this would be the same for any rom.

I remapped volume up to back and don't even use soft keys or the like anymore. If all the buttons are too small then I think a density bump is your best bet.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 123123s:
Here is what happend:

So this is my sisters phone and Im trying to fix it for her. The phone was locked when our little sister failed to open it too many times (my sister had the graphical lock enabled). My sister then took it to a phone store which managed to fix the lock (updating it from 1.6 to 2.1) but in the same process they somehow managed to make the phone block calls and text. They told her that it had "been blocked"..?

She after that she cant send or receive texts, cant make or receive calls but she can surf via 3G.

What is wrong?

Here is what I've tried:

I'm a big andriod noob since Im a iphone user but I can use google and I've jailbreaked/unlocked iphones many times.

So I've tried both to re-flash (with flash tool) the phone and to restore it with SEUS. None worked. First after using the Flash tool the phone got stucked in a boot-loop. At this points I tried SEUS but it would just get stuck and then tell me that the restore had failed. At last I managed to get back into a working phone when I went down to 1.6 using ROOT_F3V3 (I dont know if I did the whole flash procedure right but right but when it was done the phone started fine but the text and call issues persisted). So then I tried SEUS again and this time it worked so now I got a fully updated and restored phone. BUT STILL: it cant text, make or receive calls. Is there any next step? Any method which I haven't tried yet? I stumbeled upon something called xRecovery. Could that help me? Or is the phone pretty much bricked...

Please help me :)

Anyway, I decided yesterday to replace at least the glowing "S" , so I found this 2 part animation (in one file) in one of the HTC Hero G2 threads, which is Android first smashing and then peeing on apple:

First part:

Second part:

I have seen the peeing Android before, but this one got also the smashing Android

If you want to use it, download the the file (see attachment) and push it to the right folder

It's working fine on my JVK , fits like a glove, but when I have time I will modify it a little by redrucing the dimensions of the images and darken them, in order to save battery, specially on those situations when booting takes longer....
