Funny, I actually increased the size of the keyboard and also the space bar row to make it harder to accidentally touch the notification bar pull-up. Then again, I'm running 140 LCD Density setting, so my increased size may be smaller than other's decreased size.

I also have been using the 10-inch Tablet layout and prefer it to the other layouts.
[Nook Color General] john10101:
This is the best keyboard ive used for my nook. very happy with it.

Are you using the dead zone setting under tablet tweaks?

i dont know about 911jason but i am running the deadzone. it helps with misplaced taps.

Does this setting actually work on the milestone to enable hardware acceleration in the ui: debug.sf.hw=1

I read in several places that putting it in the build.prop would enable it, but I'm not sure that it actually would work on the milestone.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zeppelinrox:
Well it just so happens that I've been trying different roms lately.

I had installed the Telus froyo update and after that I've tried cm7 and now cronos.

"Out of the box" CM7 was unbearably slow whereas cronos ginger was ALOT quicker out of the box.

I've been lookin at files and kernel tweaks in the init.d folder but lo and behold, in the build prop I see:

debug.sf.hw=1

So I'm guessing, it sure don't hurt nun!

After a little google fu it seems that it really does speed things up.

Some people have reported artifacting but I don't see it.

In the supercharge thread I did some benchmarking comparing CM7 stock minfree vs my balanced 2 settings... maybe I'll do a bit of testing with all default settings on cronos.

Actually, cronos minfrees are the same as CM7 so that makes even more consistent.

Ok.. results are interesting

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] kabaldan:
debug.sf.hw=0 can be used only to disable the hardware acceleration.

debug.sf.hw=1 will do nothing, as it's enabled by default.

I already answered this cherrybombaz's question on IRC, before he started this thread.

If you don't believe me, why don't you check the source code to see for yourself?

https://github.com/nadlabak/android...nger/DisplayHardware/DisplayHardware.cpp#L127

if on line 127 - true if debug.sf.hw is defined

if on line 128 - true if debug.sf.hw is 0

no effect when debug.sf.hw is 1
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zeppelinrox:
Well, crap.

So it doesn't hurt but it doesn't do anything :p
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] cherrybombaz:
I tested debug.sf.hw=0 on CM6, and the animations are much laggier, so I can confirm that it is on by default.

Please also input your choice in the poll above (EDIT: nvmind.. you did)

Vibrant Modem Comparison

I am in South Florida and using KA7 and this thing rocks steady!!! I still couldn't resisit trying them all out, well, the 9 I found on Scrizz' Modems thread. I ran 4 speedtest.net each to compare upload and download speeds and quite frankly, KA7 had the best results down here but barely. The KB1 wouldn't let me send pictures and would take forever to open the market for some reason. The difference was merely ranging between +/- .02 Up and .07 down. Which I get it, based on where you are that can be a difference but again down here that's what I found. Also, I was using the Boca Raton server. I work out of Lauderhill, Fl and this is the place where I did my "research" lol..... Sorry, just a fan of android and wish I could do more but I guess for now this is it.
[Vibrant General] angryPirate12:
The best modem is very region specific.

For me in Northeast Ohio, KA6 gives me the best balance of connection, speed, and battery
[Vibrant General] krackers:
Lol... I knew that.....

Just want to see which is overall the best. There has to be one that works moderately well everywhere.

Here is my experience with KA6 in California bay area (san jose)

Speed is pretty good... 2 Mb download

Signal is fine.... Consistently 4-5 bars (no dropped calls!)

Battery is moderate.... Lasts about 9 hours with a full (up to 100%) overnight charge

That battery is on VERY light use. No live wallpaper, no widgets, no pandora, no music, nothing.... Simply calls (and that too about 3 or 4 of them)
[Vibrant General] fishman0919:
KA5 seems to have the fastest data but OK battery life.

KB1 seem to be the best of both worlds for me here in Southern New England
[Vibrant General] es7241:
Lol I'm in Rhode island as well B-) but yeah .. I'm using KA7 right now and its getting great signal
[Vibrant General] fishman0919:
LOL, just got back from Iggy's

KA7 and KB1 seem to be very similar in this area
[Vibrant General] scrizz:

[Vibrant General] Binary100100:
I live up in Newark/Fremont area and I've received about 5mb/s in some areas using KB1. When I tried using KA6 or KA7 I received about half that. Seriously like ~2300kb/s for some reason. I kept trying and managed to get a result as hight as 4000kb/s but couldn't get it past that for the life of me. Sticking with KB1.

[Vibrant General] apueb008:
And where would u be living sir?

Im currently in colorado springs and anywhere up past denver is horrible for me without KB1

I've found KB1 to be the only modem that consistently holds 4G everywhere I go, even one bar is good enough for me. And with Toxic Smoke rom, my battery life on a full charge with wifi and gps on, on average is 65-80 hours depending on usage.

Note; I am using a 3000mAh extended battery from HTC. $50 from Best Buy. The only downside is no case for my phone, since the battery came with a custom back cover.
[Vibrant General] cmosvirii:

[Vibrant General] Binary100100:
Well I hope that wasn't directed toward me since I'm not a Mod for this forum.

But since it's been mentioned... I thought this was in fact the General section. Where was yours? If your thread was in Development, then that's why. Please explain how your thread was development related. Did you create your own special modem or something?
[Vibrant General] sghsgh11:
I remember good battery life with JL5 back when I was running Axura (like December-ish 2010). But for some reason KB1 seems to surprise me for the better. I'm in Connecticut, and it gives me reliable GPS fixes, and slightly better battery life than KA7. If Sammy releases another modem KD1, etc, then I'll definitely jump on that. Somehow I think this phone's on the back burner in terms of any 2.2 updates from T-Mo.

I'm seriously wondering though if the Modems are identical for battery life assuming you get the same signal with each of them - and that this is just a placebo effect we're all experiencing :)
[Vibrant General] Shortbus-Driver:
Modems are something that effects every phone differently,the only way to find the best one for u is to flash and use them all and narrow it down to the best that suits your needs. There are several guides for this
[Vibrant General] niftydl:
I have been testing several different modems with rooted stock KB1 ROM build and overall here are my conclusions:

Location: MD/D.C. Metro area

KB1: Good signal in weak areas/Good data speed/Poor battery

KA7: Slower signal grab/Great data speed/Great battery

The KA7 modem almost doubles the battery life for me. Granted, I spend a lot of time inside with WiFi calling turned on.
[Vibrant General] krackers:
KB1 seems to be winning, followed by KA5 then KA7

I though KA5 would win as I've seen so many compliments but looks like I'm wrong.
[Vibrant General] montez.061-:

Do you guys think Samsung will release gingerbread for this phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] :
no. the galaxy s and galaxy s II will get it tho. american phones from sammy get no love it seems. sad face.

However! with that said... TW will port the galaxy s gingerbread release like so many have already done with for the Vibrant. i'm sure we'll see it via xda devs.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bl4ckpheniX:
Sammy announced yesterday that Galaxy S devices will receive Gingerbread middle of this month. That said, T-mobile will most likely push it to us. However, once it has been released soon after I would bet that Samsung will have it up on mini kies. But lets face it, don't start holding your breath.

Like Luck said, Dev's will port it. And once the vibrant get's it and we have a working CWM there will be a port for our phone's. I would bet money on it.

First, the reason I posted here is because this forum is where my android love started. I have used most of the dev's work in here on my vibrant and continue to. There are a lot of very talented dev's here.

I am looking to start doing some work on my sgs 4g. we don't really have much for Dev's over there right now. So, I would like to try and help out and start with some work on a stock dump. I am new to this whole process.

I would like to start by adding an accurate battery to the ROM. I also hope to maybe get into some light kernel, and theme work.

What would be great is if someone here could maybe help me out, I am no idiot, and learn fast. So if anyone one of you dev's out there could lend a hand to someone ready to learn please PM me.

Any advise Or help would be greatly appreciated.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghettomuffin:
So I just picked up a Thunderbolt from a local Verizon corporate store. The sales rep told me NOT to use WiFi on my phone because of an issue all Thunderbolts are having. She said once connected to WiFi, it won't be able to switch back to 3G unless you perform a factory reset. It sounds like a load of crappy to me, but I'd rather play it safe. Can anyone confirm or deny this out there? Thanks in advance!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calbruc:
I think I've read about a few people having that issue, but simply switching airplane mode on and off fixes it, I believe.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trevlo:
same thing happens to me. then if I turn off my Wi-Fi sometimes to try and get a 3g connection it takes like 10-15 tries to get a data connection. And even sometimes when that happens I'll turn my Wi-Fi back on and my Wi-Fi acts buggy, doesn't connect... I'll have to try the airplane mode trick

Always try a reflash first, typically that will fix these odd issues that other's aren't reporting. Flashing isn't a cut and dried process, I've experienced quite a few bad flashes, it just happens sometimes.

Hi,

I broked it???

Well as my title states, I rooted my phone- then went on to install Gingerbread (? spelling ). After two days of disliking it. I wanted to go back to the regular htc or pre gingerbread setup/install.

During the process I was unable to use the back up that was on the sd card and that was backed up on my pc. Rom Manger kept saying it was corrupt, well i took it that way.......

From there I found this-

androidforums.com/incredible-all-things-root/99828-video-howto-unroot-incredible-downgrading .html

I did everything the instucitions said, and then when it was time for it to reboot and do its thing.. It sat at a black screen... And that where I am at now.

Recap:

After attempting to restore defaults using PB31IMB file. I'm now stuck at a NO SCREEN.

When you start the phone the phone vibrates once. Like it starting up but nothing. I hold down the VOL DOWN and Power, nothing. I hold down the VOL UP and power, I gut nothing but three vibrates...

I have attempted:

I've tried using ADB, but ADB is unable to see the device when I do, ADB device. Both using Vol + and power and Vol - and power. But nothing.

Am I S.O.L?
