most all of the sense 2.0 roms have the wired tether option. so there are a few alternatives to cm if you want to keep a stock feel.
[Milestone 2 General] xOnerOs:
hi,

i was installing a couple of apps via apk file the other day and a couple of them needed a restart. once i've restarted the phone just got stuck on the moto logo with the purplish gas cloud effect in the background. ive tried the factory reset but to no avail. :( removed sd card, left sim card then booted - no go. :(

is there anything i can do via sd card or windows to resolve this issue? i am using windows 7 ultimate 64bit.

your suggestions will be very much appreciated.
[Milestone 2 General] frenetico:
The only way how to solve this problem by yourself is probably flashing your Milestone 2 with RSD-Lite. It's likely that you find a how-to somewhere here in the MM2-forum.
[Milestone 2 General] xOnerOs:
i found this =_)

and i am doing it now hopefully it works :confused:
[Milestone 2 General] xOnerOs:
it worked and im back in business :D was doing it in the wrong screen... worked for me when i pressed <up arrow+power button>
[Milestone 2 General] EVEALEX62:
Since yesterday my MM2 is briqued on boot animation ....

I have test RSDlite (it's not the first time I use it) but nothing (with 2 SBF different)

RSDLite :

1) Download firmware ==> Ok

2) Installation ==> Ok

3) Reboot ==> block on boot animation .... (look screen say "reboot manually.." but my MM2 is power on )

Please Help me ......

Thanks in advance !

[G2 and Desire Z General] Bloodlvst:
Just wondering what your thoughts are. I like them both, so hopefully you can all help me make a decision.

Notes:

*if option to customize lock screen exists, HUGE plus

*I'll probably overclock / use SetCPU, so good balance of performance / battery is huge for me.

Duke it out!
[G2 and Desire Z General] NAM_killer:
I've had experience with both, virtuous is nice but CM is so much faster. It is also nice to have Android the way it was meant to be and not some companies highly modded version.

Sense uses quite a lot of memory whereas CM does not and this makes a big difference with how responsive your phone can be.
[G2 and Desire Z General] hubba88:
I've been using CM 7.0 Nightlies for quite a while now and the speed is awesome, plus I also like the fact that it's Android the way it should be. Battery is great for me with Cyanogen as well, about 26-30 hours with average usage (stock battery).
[G2 and Desire Z General] Athrun88:
Having had experience with Cyanogen-based ROMs on my previous Hero and Virtuous on my current DZ, i am actually torn. For me, personally, I would have to give the edge to Virtuous. Having the wide customizability of CM was great and having LauncherPRO was so flexible. That being said, however, I like how HTC's Sense just gets you and assumes many of the things you would like to do instead of you doing it yourself.

One example would be facebook linking to your contacts. I hate seeing a generic photo when I get calls and would rather see the picture of the person calling. Having this kind of assumed integration is great. Other features like the dialer, working GPS and rmk's other small tweaks (see: Virtuous advanced kernel for use with SetCPU) make the Sense experience that much better.

On the otherhand, AOSP or CM versions of android are much lighter as they dont have the kind of assumptions and integrations of a Sense-based rom. Being highly customizable, you can implement different launchers, skins, lock screens, docks, etc.. but I did find myself cursing at some points because I am just a Sense kind of guy deep inside.

It really comes down to personal preference. Try them both for a week and see how you feel about them. Alot of people have been saying Virtuous is laggy, but I have not seen any of that lag. As with all flashes, clear data, cache, battery and davlik through recovery! Have fun and i hope you find the rom that fits you.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Gwanatu:
Sense is definitely nice, and it's something that easily sets HTC devices apart from the pack. That being said, I'm much more of an AOSP kind of guy, because as nice and pretty as Sense is, it just takes up too much RAM for my liking, and the launcher is just not customizable enough for me. Having only 3 buttons at the bottom absolutely drives me nuts; I've got to have the scrolling bottom row like Go Launcher and Launcher Pro provide. Obviously you can use these on a Sense rom, but what's the point in having a Sense rom when you don't use the Sense launcher? For me it boils down to this, and I'm sure the many other features that Cyanogenmod has that I use on a daily basis. I haven't used Virtuous since I got the phone in October, so I'm sure there's more stuff on it now than before, but I'm definitely a Cyanogenmod kind of guy. Plus there are roms based off Cyanogen, like Mexdroid, that add all kinds of pretty and additional functionality that I like.
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
The HTC camera app is far better than on CM, and the camera button does not lag like it does on CM. And I'm not completely sure about this (and haven't really seen it discussed here much), but it seems the Sense based ROMs have more/better hardware codecs for playback of a wider variety of videos without lag or sync issues. Also, the Sense fastboot feature is pretty nice if you have to turn off/on your phone frequently (which I do, due to frequent air travel).

I haven't given the latest and greatest CM7 versions a test drive yet, but I tried RC1 and RC2, and there were still enough bugs (GPS, video camera playback) to turn me off. I might wait until Gingerbread is officially released for our hardware before trying a GB ROM again.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Anartic:
For a daily, I would pick CM7 since it's quick and I'm pretty much guaranteed a full day of usage no matter what.

Virtuous, Sense, is nice and all, but the lag is a deal breaker for me. The only perks I see from Sense is the refined UI and better FaceBook integration, other than that, I don't really need it. And the battery life on Sense roms seems to be half of what I get on CM7.

CM7, stock android, is catching up though, with Gingerbread the UI has been given a cleaner look and my contacts do sync with FaceBook, but every now and then I'll have a duplicate contact, which in Sense it would allow me to link the two together. The only problem I would see with CM7 would be all of the customization options. I'd say that I'm an above average Android user, but all of the options I have available to me to customize the phone look is a bit overwhelming, in my opinion. It takes me a good hour or two to get the phone set up in a way I prefer, whereas Sense kind of has it's settings put in such a way that creates a better user experience.

So as I said before, CM7 would be my preferred ROM since when I do get it set up the way I want, the phone is easy to use and everything is quickly accessible to me. Virtuous, as nice as it is, is just a bit too slow and too much of a battery drainer for me to use it every day.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Bloodlvst:
So what about using CM6? Isn't that a Froyo build?

If so, is it just lacking in features compared to the Gingerbread builds?

As a side note, can anyone tell me if CM has some sort of Facebook-to-Contact link like Sense? And if so, is it actually nice and doesn't load my entire phone app full of people I will never ever call? LoL
[G2 and Desire Z General] Athrun88:
There is an app called contapps or something like that on market that has similar facebook to contact integration.

Speed = CM or CM based (GingerVillian)

Ease of use = Sense based (Virtuous)

It is really boiling down to personal preference. I did find myself jumping between AOSP and Sense before but could never really shake my love for Sense. The slight bloat and 0.001% lag that i experience is a good price to pay :). I hope you find the rom that fits you, whatever that may be
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
Yep, pretty much. CM6 is very stable. But for me, if you're going to go Froyo, you may as well go Sense. I like the extra features, and you can use an alternative launcher, since the lag on the Sense ROMs is mostly when using the stock launcher, IMO. And I didn't seem to experience any worse battery life with Sense ROMs versus CM7, like a previous user mentioned. But I didn't stay on CM6 long enough to compare battery life. Plus, the theming aesthetics of the Sense ROM and Gingerbread are nicer than Froyo, in my personal taste.
[G2 and Desire Z General] NAM_killer:
Actually there is also a sense gingerbread out accurately named 'senseginger' made by teamvillain aswell. It is very good. It is the middleground of froyo sense and stock gingerbread.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ozzygarcia:
CM is a lot smoother and simple.

The sense part on Virtuous takes up toooo much memory and slows the phone down, but the widgets are nice.
[G2 and Desire Z General] r3s-rt:
Android always comes down to user preference. You want a suggestion? Try both. ;) And give it a good week. Even if you HATE it at first, give it a good while before deciding against it. You may find that once little aspect that will keep you from ever changing.
[G2 and Desire Z General] PaganAng3l:
Me personally, I like CM7 over any sense based rom hands down. With the new gingerbread based cm7 I can easily link all of my facebook contacts with the ones in my contact list. If at first the picture doesn't show up, make sure you have the facebook app to sync all and then just long press your contact and join it to the facebook one. Boom, instant gratification. I personally rely on my ram being free, and the ability to overclock smoothly for playing ps one emulators. SetCpu has been known to cause glitches in cm7 for underclocking or overclocking too much, but as long as you do a minimal amount of research for your setup, it is easily avoided. As some others previously stated, it's all dependant on your preference and what you use your phone for. Try them both for a week at least, then decide, that's the best advice I could give
[G2 and Desire Z General] Zephead:
My first experience with a ROM was CM7 RC1-4 and a few days ago I was bored and installed Virtuous and it's not bad but I definitely prefer CM7, it's way faster and smoother. The main reason I got the G2 was because it's Vanilla Android and CM7 has it all!

On Camcorder, taking a video landscape, then trying to playback in portrait mode results in the screen showing white and blue lines. Same with taking the video in portrait and trying to playback while in landscape mode.

Also, there is a Gmail margin problem. And there is a decent amount of people with non-GPS (although probably most CM users are fine on this).

But similar to the previous response, I have not tried the more recent CM releases, to see if these were fixed.
[G2 and Desire Z General] donovan1983:
As others have said, it comes down to personal preferences. I've come to like Sense recently and am really liking the amazing standby times I've been getting with Virtuous, so I'm sticking with that for a bit. After a couple releases I may look into CM7 again, though, since I miss the customizable automatic brightness levels it has (a little feature that is a big deal to me).
[G2 and Desire Z General] jpcdeux:
Just tested and video camera definitely doesn't do that anymore. I don't know what I'm looking for but don't see a margin issue in gmail

Basically, formatting the message text to be too "narrow", so there is way too much white space on the right margin. See the pic attached to post 1 of the following thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1001996

I actually don't remember seeing this, even as far back as RC1 and RC2. But people complained about it on the CM7 thread and other places. So it might have been one of those issues that just affected some users.
[G2 and Desire Z General] dustrho:
The Gmail margin issue is officially discussed on CyangoenMod's issue tracking site here...

This did not become an issue until POST CM7-RC2. Everything before CM7-RC2 and including that did not have this issue.

Well that would explain why I didn't see it on RC1 and 2!

I perma rooted my G2 using using the rage method a few months ago and when I was done I was able to delete some of the bloatware. Today I decided I would like to delete the remaining bloatware but have been unsuccessful.

Any ideas on what I can do? Did I somehow lose my perma root?

[General Topics] Cheeze[iT]:
Ok, so I've gone through multiple devices and wanted to get an opinion before seeing where I should go next. I am looking for a device, whether a phone or tablet or both, to help with my daily planning and being organized. I need to be able to write emails and integrate gmail, google calender, a detailed contacts list to have description/notes about them, be able to edit/create some basic excel documents, access dropbox to add/edit files and browse the web with the option of going to flash sites if needed. I currently came off of a G2 and the android devices that I've had that are still current are the G2, MT4G, Nexus S, HD2 with Android, galaxy tab. I didn't like the G2 as the data hand off was weird in my area, mt4g just didn't feel right, and the Tab wasn't unique since it was still on 2.2

I was trying to decide on what ever device and getting either the iPad 2/ iPad or xoom (unless I should wait for something else? HTC flyer? I like the size) or getting an Incredible S? I was trying to justify a tablet and get rid of my laptop since I don't really use it either.

I am currently on T-Mobile US so any suggestions would be great. I need to get off this N8 as its too boring for me, unless I get a tablet soon :)

Also, if I were to get an android phone, what would getting an android tablet do? Is there something I would be able to do on that tablet that I wouldn't be able to do on the phone?

[General Topics] firebirdude:
I've debated the same thing. After simply using the evo, I'd really hate to have to lug around a tablet...... but I honestly just can't use a phone when it comes to excel. So then I should buy a tablet right? Well, maybe not. Like many people, given the choice, I'd rather have a real keyboard than touchscreen. So why not just get a netbook? Same size/hassle as a tablet. But not as cool. lol
[General Topics] Cheeze[iT]:
Well I have a netbook already and I just wanted something a little more convenient to use. I figured a tablet gets straight to the point and is easy to display to others when they need to see what my schedule looks like or my availability for the up coming weeks. I'm thinking of getting a smaller tablet now, since it'd be more portable so we'll see how it goes. The HTC flyer looks nice, but no idea what the price tag as going to be.

Where would I push additional alarm sounds in the /system folder? The alarm sounds that come with Superclean do not wake me up at all.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minho422:
You can adjust the alarm volume by using the volume rocker while on alarm ringtone selection, and you can add alarm sounds from TW music player. It has "set as" option for alarm

For me, it force closes when I select set-as, but it successfully adds alarm ringtone.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minho422:
Or manually, just create media/audio/alarms in sdcard and put your sound files in alarms folder.

Samething for notifications and ringtones; just create a folder under those name and drop mp3 files and you're all set
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skynet11:
Get Ringdroid, use Amazon MP3 to download "Early in the Morning" by the Gap Band, use Ringdroid to clip a sample, and you'll never need another alarm sound again ;-)

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SupraLance:
Much easier just to download Zedge from the market and select the sounds you want to use. When you set an alarm, Zedge ring tones are automatically in your selection list.

As a suggestion, I have 3 alarms set 5 minutes apart. The first is a soft alarm "songbirds", then a regular alarm, then a loud screaming alarm in case I slept through the others.

So here is the deal. I have seen the videos of people using the different tablets as phones. Here is what I want to know. Just how useful is this. What I would like to do is this. I would like to buy a wifi hotspot device like the one from sprint.

And then get a tablet that only has wifi support. I would like to use Google voice now that it supports people being able to call the desktop. So my question is can I get a tablet wifi only and setup it to connect to the hotspot and maybe even a bluetooth headset so I don't look to nerdy.

[HTC Inspire 4G] buddy17:
it is a known fact that the speaker sucks on the Inspire.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Silas0220:
Your iPhone automatically adjusted the volume when you plugged it into the car, and wouldn't let you adjust the volume on the device. The Inspire doesn't do this, so you have to use the volume rocker on the device to set it loud enough for it to sound decent in your car. I stream audio from mine all the time in the car, and once the audio is set at the right volume it sounds great.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Divinedark:
I did not have the same experience as Silas. I'm currently on CoreDroid, which is supposed to have some audio tweaks to increase the volume of the all speakers up to 20%. It's still very treble heavy. It's well known the speaker on the Inspire is less than stellar, and you just happen to be coming from a device that has an incredible external speaker. I'm not sure you're going to get the volume/sound quality you desire out of this particular device.

Hey all,

Since my 3G/H is not functioning anymore on my G1, I am planning on sending it to my brother for him to use.

He has only a voice plan with Rogers, because his current phone is a voice/text only phone.

He is planning on just sliding his sim card into the G1 (see sig below) and continue using it a voice only.

Will this work?

Thanks

Heeter
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steinhund:
It should.

Go to "Settings", "Wireless & networks", "Mobile Networks"

Unmark "Data enabled"

Go to "Access Point Names"

erase all the APNs listed

This way the phone can be used with a voice only plan.

Wifi will still work if your brother likes to use it.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeenAndroidized:
Another thing your brother could do is to contact Roger and have them turn off the data (per use) feature to his account. So, he don't accidentally open the browser and get the per use charge. Especially if he will be using the wifi on the G1.
