It just can be used with baseband .52,and bb .52 is not supported by 2.2 rom..if I not mistake usb debugging is not working and many more probs,that why it is call alpha-kernel..Maybe it take weeks or months before our devs can make it stable and support all baseband versions..

Okay! Will the build prop thing work on tripnmiui?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fiscidtox:
yes works on any rom...

Greatly improves touch tracking
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a1exander:
Then why doesnt trip do it in Tripnmiui as standard? Or is it there already?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fiscidtox:
Nope you have to add it.

Really? I heard they have battery tweaks that help improve batt. life?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lauri455:
Indeed battery dies very fast with freekernel, and OS is likely to reboot itself without any reason, but it happens only at night (to me at least).

Anyway, things like short battery life, random reboots etc. are normal situation with an alpha version of a custom kernel on bootloader-locked phone ;) We *just* have to wait.

But still, no fps cap = pure awesomeness. I can live with that short-life battery and random reboots, not a problem for me.

@up: what tweaks? Only thing I did was wiping battery stats in xRec after charging to 100%, it helped a little.

Well for starters you might look at some threads to look at what added tweaks they have anyways. :)

Hi Everyone,

I've been testing live wallpapers recently and I've noticed that most of them increase CPU load by an unjustifiable amount (either in terms of high CPU usage or decreased UI responsiveness).

Is anyone aware of any minimalistic live wallpapers that don't cause the abovementioned issues?

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] justme8800:
I'd like to hear about this as well.

So many live wallpapers don't get the concept of a "background." They're cool to look at once, and that's it. Why do live wallpapers have to mean dead battery?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Mylenthes:
When I used to use the default android launcher I used to use lwps and not really experience any lag or high battery drainage. I used live walls like nexus, seeds of life, sense, and more. The most battery drainage came from kittyface or whatever they're called. Launchers like ads and launcher pro are pretty much incompatible with any lwp. I experience so much lag if I even try to use it.

[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] dekeijzer:
I'm using the on with the waiving grass and that goes dark at night. Don't notice a lot of battery drain from it.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] hubba88:
I saw that one aswell, the grass one. Not noticing any drain.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] setspeed:
That's cos it doesn't do anything - a few blades of grass move now and again :-)

I think this is yet another area where Android's promise is not backed up by it's capabilities. I'm not a programmer, but surely graphic work like this should be handled by the GPU? Oh no, we don't have proper GPU hardware acceleration everywhere yet (like every other decent platform) :-(
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] hubba88:
Actually, i have used the Beautiful Widget Live weather wallpaper. This one has the grass but also you can see clouds when the actual weather is cloudy, etc. It's pretty sweet.

Just a quick example:
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] snudel:
the fact that you are still using a task manager, shows me your non technical attitude.

he was not asking for any live wallpaper, but for the ones not using too much cpu...

the beautifull widgets lwp drains battery and causes quite some lags.

its nice but is the exact opposite of what he asked for.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] hubba88:
Yes, I am an Android newbie (user since january 2011), and maybe your right about the drainage and lag (hardly ever used the wallpaper before, but I didn't notice it drain that much and hardly noticed any of the lag). I just tried to be helpful, your reaction is a bit harsh.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] setspeed:
It does look nice. But hardly eye-candy that you would show off to your mates, like Solar Winds LWP, which is my favourite :-)

Using MIUI and never get lag. Using beautiful livewallpaper. Lol been an android user from the very start of G1.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] grandomegabosses:
I've come to enjoy Day of Ubuntu. It's not killer on the battery, and for me personally, it seems to make ADW-EX run smoother than a normal non-live wallpaper. Then again, it isn't constantly moving like other live ones, but it's pretty minimalist in that there isn't too much going on.

There are a couple apps you could use to sign right on your phone/tablet with ...

Zipsigner

Signapktic

Both can sign with your choice of: testkey, platform, media, or shared. Signapktic requires root but if you aren't rooted Zipsigner should still work. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the heads up. However, the app force closes when I launch it. Can anyone do it with apk manager? That has always worked for me.

Thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dberm22:
Wow, thanks for doing the research on that. Yea, I realized that that was the problem before you responded, though. I was able to decompile all of the xmls in apkmanager, edit them in an xml editor, and then replace them into the folder of apkmanager. Although the xmls look fine, I still get an error when compiling and signing.

I would re-upload the files but I've basically given up and don't want to waste any more time hacking the silly game. Thanks for all your help, though. (I can send you my files if you would like to figure it out and have a hacked version of the game, but I am not trying to put any more effort into it)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Carminuch:
Ever since i flashed my first Sense 2.0 Rom I have always had this problem. No matter which one it always happens and its really annoying. When texting a person and having the text be longer than 2 messages it will not send. It tries to send then i get the usually text message not sent error message. Even after that though it still continuously tries to send the texts and i have to then restart my phone every time. I think I may of seen someone with a similar problem a while ago within a Rom thread. Does anyone else have this problem? Or is it a known problem in Sense 2.0 Roms and can it be fixed?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
Its a known issue I believe. You will have to cut every text at 160 chars or it usually doesn't send. Its fixed in cm7 and it works on regular 2.2 froyo sense roms but still an issue with sense 2.0; I think there's a fix if I find ill post it.

~ d3rk
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klbjr:
Only fix so far is to use Handcent, Chomp or GO SMS Pro. They have options to automatically split texts at 160. It has something to do with all of the Sense 2.0 ports coming from GSM phones and it handles texts over 160 differently then the CDMA that we use. Or at least that's how it was explained to me.
[Xoom General] joshuarad2:
I have been trying for a week to get WMV files to play on my Xoom. I have tried Rockplayer, Moboplayer, and vital player but none of them will play these files. I have even tried converting the files to mp4 but that takes the file size from 8 mb to 160 mb. These files are training videos that I really need to have on my Xoom so I can study while I am traveling. Can anyone please help me out?
[Xoom General] e.mote:
Handbrake will convert WMV to MP4. It can be as simple as

handbrake -i infile.wmv -o outfile.mp4

(Sorry, I only use the CLI version, but GUI version should be similar.)

WMV is a container like AVI, and the actual MS codec will vary. Some MS codecs aren't well supported, and may cause issues.
[Xoom General] 5280droid:
Use mobo player v6. I use that on my xoom and it plays WMV files with no issues.
[Xoom General] joshuarad2:
I have tried Moboplayer v6 but all it does is open a screen for a second then goes back to the file list. Does handbrake not increase the size of the file?
[Xoom General] e.mote:
>Does handbrake not increase the size of the file?

It depends. However, H.264 is an efficient codec. If resultant size is >150% of original, conversion is bad.

If WMVs are from commercial source, they may have DRM. Can't convert DRM'ed media, nor can they be played on Android currently.
[Xoom General] Arun01:
Just use Total Video Converter..then it gives you options of Low,Normal or High settings..the lower the setting the smaller the resulting file size will be.I've done tons of WMV's with it.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ooidort:
The thing is, I'm having my X10 replaced by warranty because of a faulty USB-connector, and I read somewhere that SE started using glue at some point to reinforce the USB-connector's durability. So I started to wonder are there any other differences between the launch models and X10's manufactured lately other than the glue on the USB-connector? I can do some comparisons myself when I get the new phone in a couple of days 'cause I have another X10 around which was bought at launch, but it'd be great if there was someone who knows if there are any differences for example in the earphone quality, screen, buttons, finish etc. between the models.

Is there a way to have just 5 homescreens instead of 7 ? i dont use that much widgets with a couple and with shortcuts im fine , btw htc widgets are ENORMOUS , one takes a whole homescreen :rolleyes:

anyone? :(
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ljaypham:
Hi, i am very new here and ilack some of the basic info. so i have couples of questions. thanks very much for your answers.

1. what is the internal memory of the htc hd2? and when you partition your sd to fat32 and ext3, will the internal memory be the sum of the ext3 and the phone internal storage?

2. when you want to flash your hd2 with a new rom. do you need to format both partitions of your sd card (fat32 and ext3)

3. when i tried the latest ultimate droid rom, i saw the author posted the rom and another thing called the layout (3.0.2.4_magldr_150M_partitionLayout_30M_cache). what does this do?

4. how do you make the phone to move or install apps in the ext3. and how do you back up those data and apps in the ext3?

and again, thanks guys for helping me out.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
1 internal memory, do you mean what's available after a flash? 260 Meg or so with the small cm7 roms (typhoon for example)

No, the internal memory wont show the sum of internal plus ext BUT it will work as if it is. Say you install a 20meg program, internal mem goes down 20 but back up 20 after a restart.

2 no, when you perform the wipes through cwm it takes care of the ext partition and the .android folder on the fat32 for you.

Some apps may put data on the fat32, in which case you can delete those if you want or if you have isues.

3 the layout (clockworkmod, or cwm) sets up the various partitions on your nand (internal) memory, boot, system,cache,data. Without the layout there would be nowhere for the rom to flash into.

The main point of interest in cwm is the system partition size, big roms need big system partitions, sense roms for ex. need 250meg or more, typhoon needs 130. Flash a big rom to small layout fails, small rom on big layout wasted space.

4 you don't, if the rom says ap2sd enabled or words to that effect, it does it automatically. You can test this by loading up some apps then browsing the SD card on a Linux PC

When you run backups and such, it just does it, the phone has no idea that some of the info is on the SD, it treats it as internal.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ljaypham:
i dont understand why is that? so if the rom is apps2sd supported, it will automatically install apps to ext3. then it makes sense to me that the mem goes down, but then why it goes back up???
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
Example, 250meg internal plus 1gig ext partition.

internal memory shows as 250meg,, install 20 Meg app which goes to ext partition BUT the system displays internal mem as 230, , you reboot the phone and check again and internal memory shows as 250 again.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ljaypham:
oh, thanks alot, i get it. but which backup solution is the best? and how does backup using clockworldmod work? does it make a backup file to sd card?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malybru:
Hi,

It depends what you want to back up.CWM backup will take a snapshot of your entire ROM system,data,settings,everything.A bit like a ghost image of a drive on your PC.

This way, if you install a new ROM and there is a problem,or you don't like it,you can RESTORE your original ROM and everything is back the way it was before. :)

CWM backup saves to the sd card.

If you just want to backup data,use something like Titanium Backup.
[General Questions and Answers] Tynan22:
Before I get started, I have already tried whitetigerdk's guide. It didn't work, I keep getting update fail. I have also tried the Unlockr.com's guide. Didn't work.

I have also tried a bunch of different ways, like flashing a rom, or trying to get my nandroid.md5 backup to work, I just keep getting errors. I'm sure I've tried a couple other ways, and maybe a mix of two ways but nothing has worked so far, and I'm out of ideas. I'm 0 for like.. 8. EDIT: I've also tried using the clockwork recovery by flashing update.zip, does everything and seems like its back to stock, but I check phone info and it's still Rodriguez Style.

So here's the deal. My HTC Legend is running off of.. the Rodriguez Style with vivid sense rom, and just recently (couple days ago) a strip, up and down my screen, does not react to touch. Tried restarting, cleaning, whatever, it's ****ed. So then I knew I wanted to bring it in for warranty but i need to get the orginal rom back on, like how it was when I opened up the box.

I'm sure I need some more detail, so let me know and I'll provide all the info I can.

I appreciate the help! Thanks :)

1GHz CPU, Android, capacitive screen vs 528MHz, WinMo6 and a resistive screen - no contest ;)

Swype's pretty awesome but I personally settled on Ultra Keyboard because I was used to the half-qwerty from my Touch HD.

Ultra Keyboard combines the two as well as giving you control over the size of the keys and a whole load of other options.

Speaking of awesome and intuitive keyboards, does anyone know what happenned with Blind Type? I remember hearing something about google buying it up (i THINK i remember that, anyway) and had pressumed that maybe it would be incorporated into a future model of Android, probably 2.3. Now I'm running on 2.3 and have heard nothing of Blind Type since then, I'm just wondering if anyone has any idea?

Definitely the best keyboard i've tried so far is SwiftKey, even better and Swype (i have them both).
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] daveybaby:
Another vote here for swiftkey, the predictive text (once it's trawled through your old texts and emails) is nothing short of amazing.

Although the way it can actually predict the next word after you finish the current one is a little scary/depressing. Am i really *that* predictable?

I use ultra keyboard. Unfortunately it mixes up multitouch keystrokes (registers on key release). FlexT9 is also nice, and it does correct multitouch recognition plus excellent speech recognition (Dragon dictate)

But ultra has nicer option buttons right there in the prediction area, with inline translation, copy paste etc, and better correction after mistakes. Biggest gripe is the incomplete dictionary, no auto training/learning on email sms, bad capital recognition (problem in German mainly). Nevertheless, overall best keyboard so far that I came across.

SlideIT cannot do multitouch at all, bummer, otherwise very good as well.
