[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2158596:
Hey guys!

Not sure if anyone (although I hope so) has noticed this - but I kinda feel that the Nexus S digitizer (touch-sensitive layer between lcd and glass, built into SAMOLED screens) is a bit.. unresponsive at times..

I'm comparing to a HTC Desire HD - which, with CM7, is alot more responsive IMHO!

Hoping to hear your opinions on this :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vandam500:
It seems fine for me though. Not sure why you are experiencing unresponsiveness. What kernel are you using?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickmv:
If anything, it's TOO sensitive. You can actually register a press without touching the phone. Try it, move your finger ever so slowly towards a button, but make sure not to touch it. Eventually, when you're a couple millimeters away, it'll register a touch, even though no contact has been made.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
i think he is describing the FREEZE problem some people are experiencing

by default SAMOLED display are SUPER sensitive, you do not even need to touch the screen, it's enough to just fly-by over the screen surface and you can activate something

it's actually too good for some people which wants to make them less sensible :p
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2158596:
I'm running stock GRI54 right now :)

Well, I might just've phrased my question the wrong way. I have the i9023 (SCLCD) version of the Nexus S - my girlfriend has an Xperia X10i and with that phone you can feel that the digitizer isn't keeping up with your finger.

I've used both an iPhone 4 and HTC Desire HD - both seem to 'track' my finger better on-screen.. Am I the only one? Damn, I was hoping that I wouldn't have to go see my doc ;)

Project has been terminated. Sorry to anyone who I have left waiting. I have too many personal things going on to be able to work on this. If someone wants to pickup where I left off, feel free, just credit me.

I have been working on this for a while now, and it is not quite finished (still more framework and twframework edits to make, along with some other system apps). I only really get to work on this at work, and even then it's not much, so it has been slow going, and updates may be slow.

I though I would reach out to the public at large for some feedback.

This has been mostly edits to the base Trigger files (many edits) and some images and .9s from NeonGT that I liked, along with a couple icons I found searching on Google. Eventually I plan to replace many images with some of my own to better fit my style.

I appreciate any comments you may have to help improve my theme. I've done some small Metamorphs before, but this is my first time attempting a full theme.

v1.0

Updated some framework images with some green versions from Trigger 2.9.4

- Modified the yellow on the battery percentages (40-60%) so it should hopefully be easier to see.

Updated Launcher some more

Added in Akbar font (you will need to set through Flip Font in Settings)

Starting to modify Dialer

Some other minor stuff I can't remember

v0.3 Beta

More framework edits - framework is done except for a couple of .9s I will eventually get to

twframework updates

Massive edits to Email.apk

v0.2 Beta

Minor framework edits

Slightly new spinner/loading icons - Tell me what you think of them

v0.1 Beta

Many, many framework edits

Gmail starting to be themed

Email app starting to be themed

Launcher edits

Settings edits

Coming soon:

Finishing framework/twframework/Gmail/Email

Dialer amd MMS theme

Custom made icons

Bringing all the green colors closer together on the palette for a more consistent look

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Mr. Apocalypse:
Wow...looks great so far....
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] GreggoryD502:
Does it have that font included?

Trigger 2.9.2
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Romanbb:
Green sheen!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Flak_Munky:
I can add it in if people want. It's one of many flip fonts I made a while back.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MartinB6927:
Ah I love this theme. Really wanted a different color than blue. Can't wait to see what your going to do with it!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Flak_Munky:
OP updated. Any changes, suggestions, insults about the theme?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MartinB6927:
Great. Will update.

Not sure if its just me or just nitpicking, but when my battery was low yesterday it seemed like the green went away or like really "dims" on the battery icon.

Maybe its just me though.

Great theme regardless!

EDIT: Link seems to be down :/
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Flak_Munky:
I will fix the link in a couple hours. On the road for work and not near my pc.

As for the battery, the glow around the icon should go green, yellow, red as the battery drains. The yellow is hard to see. Maybe that's what you are seeing? I have plans to fix that soon.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MartinB6927:
Alright no problem.

Ahhhh ok. Yeah I just took a close look at it and its yellow. My mistake. But yeah very hard to notice.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] DynamicXL:
This looks really nice! Love green, about to flash Trigger again and going to give this theme a go! :D
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] aamir123:
Anybody can confirm working on bionix, also how about a green swype? (don't know if it's in there but I will supply file if wanted, it wasn't my creation tho
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] DynamicXL:
This is amazing! I'm loving it, if I had anything to suggest, I think it would be awesome if you can change the pull-down menu dividers between the notifications to green along with the font to show up green. I think it would look really nice.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Flak_Munky:
I might just do that. Added it to the long list of items I will be updating/changing.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] DynamicXL:
Sounds great! Can't wait to see it, if anything I can try and help.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Flak_Munky:
I didn't have any plans to theme Swype as I don't use it (I actually remove it from a rom zip before flashing so I don't have to deal with it). Check out this thread as there are some nice Swype metamorphs in there. Also, I'm sure there are more threads for Swype themes out there.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] DynamicXL:
There is actually a post here for a bunch of blackout swype themes that were made by creator. There is a link to them on the MTM Gingerbread post.

Edit: I can confirm this working on Trigger 2.9.3
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MartinB6927:
I can confirm this is working on trigger 2.9.3

Nice

I'm assuming this would still work with Trigger 3.2, since not much has been changed?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Flak_Munky:
I don't have anything in the works for blue. Stock Trigger is blue, but not sure if that's the exact color you want. Might do other colors in the future.

Could you elaborate? I'm not sure exactly what you mean. All the lock screens are fine to me.

Still in the plans. I haven't had much time recently to work on it. Work has been really busy and I have been busy with a bunch of personal stuff outside of work, so things are going really slow. I hope to have something up for alls you peeps to check out soon. Might work on it some over the weekend.

It should work fine. It is still based off KB5 framework, so there should be no issues.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] davemw2:
Maybe I just got a bad flash but the lockscreens are showing up under the wrong names. Example: puzzle lock is actually under glass lock.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrzood:
Is there a way to view the actual signal strength of the wimax connection? I'm doing some tests with a homemade parabolic dish antenna and it would be nice to know how much signal gain I'm actually achieving.

It doesn't seem like theres anything out there that will show you the ACTUAL signal strength. :( The indicator on the top bar isn't really very good for what I'm trying to study. It rides up and down from 1 to 2 bars with the phone just sitting on my desk at work anyway. Accuracy would be nice!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s84471:
By actual signal I assume you mean in dBm?

I've been wondering the same thing, because it would be nice to see where I get the best signal without having to rely on 3 bars.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrzood:
Yeah, I'm talking about viewing the actual dBm level.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orb360:
Doesn't it show in *#INFO*1111# ????
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrzood:
That only shows the CDMA info.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrzood:
Does anybody have any info on this?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Top Nurse:
Check some of the amateur radio sites and you should be able to find info on building an inexpensive signal strength meter or even being able to buy something that will work. You can also find a lot of info on building custom antennas there as well.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Top Nurse:
Market > WiFi Seeker > Free > :D
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrzood:
That's good for WiFi info but I'm looking for WiMax signal info from the phone. Like how you can get the cdma signal strength, etc. Afaik there doesn't seem to be any obvious access to the WiMax signal info besides the vague 3 bar 4g signal meter.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Top Nurse:
See my previous post and make one yourself...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orb360:
Not everyone is a tech genius like you top nurse ;)

The phone should have a number *somewhere* its not like it's showing bars at random (or maybe it is.... knowing samsung...)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrzood:
Making something wouldn't be a problem but that's not what I'm trying to accomplish. I want to pull the information from the phone itself.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JashVee:
So i know there is alot of posts about this error but after reading many on different sites and trying just about everything im exhausted and really need some help.

A day after i had updated my streak to dj_steve's 1.9.0 everything was working fine, then after a sudden reset my phone would just loop on the dell logo. I went into clockwork mod's recovery and it had an error of:

E: Can't find MISC:

E:Can't mount /dev/block/innersd0p5

(file exists)

E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/command

E:Can't find MISC:

E:Can't mout /dev/block/innersd0p5

(file exists)

E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log

E:Can't find MISC:

E:Can't mout /dev/block/innersd0p5

(file exists)

(excuse any errors i typed this in by hand)

After reading some posts people had said that it was an inner sd failure so i ran the fast boot test *#301# then option 10 to test inner sd.

Everything passed so that was not the issue

Afterward's i tried installing the 1.9.0 zip(dj_steve) through streak recovery thinking it was an issue with clockwork mod. Unfortunately this did not work either, but i can mount my sd card through the usb cable in streak recovery once again proving its not an sd issue.

After this i followed another thread on installing the stock recovery and rom image, this did not work either.

Next i used streak droid's QDL tool following all instructions and everything passed successfully, at this point things changed for once. I could use the streak stock recovery to apply an update.pkg (I used the stock offical dell rom) however afterwards the streak reboots and sits at the dell logo flashing purple with the 3 lower home led's flashing every 30 seconds or so (it previously was just showing the dell logo for a period of time then restarting). Unfortunately it just sits at this screen, forever...I even left it overnight unplugged and woke up to it drained and when i plugged it in it just did the same thing.

I have also tried a few other things but can't think of them off the top of my head, i've sunk in about 24 hours of non stop reading and flashing to fix this and still turn up with nothing.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated

I'll even give you some paypal money to buy redbull and stay up to help me fix this. SO MUCH REDBULL
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asianftw:
This is what I would do

1. Go to Streakdroid.com download the old QDLtool (StreakFlash (39.52 MB) - Older version of QDLTool, only flashes certain files.)

run that once.

2. run the new QDLtool (assume that's the one you have), P.s.: it should go through Qualcomm diagnostic mode and ADB mode once.

you should be on 305 rom and baseband

3. go to streakdroid.com download

streakmod [mistadman's StreakMod Recovery (Beta) (3.57 MB) ]

extract(if necessary)/ rename to recovery.img

mbn files:

mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/345/amss.mbn

mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/345/dsp1.mbn

put all in the same folder as the fastboot

also put DJ steve's streakdoid 1.9.0 zip file in SD card if have not already done so

4. go in fastboot mode by camera+power

run this commands one by one:

fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot -i 0x413c flash dsp1 dsp1.mbn

fastboot -i 0x413c flash amss amss.mbn

fastboot -i 0x413c reboot

5. go into streakmod, by hold vol UP + vol Dn, when restarts

2nd option (update via update.zip...), press power button when u see dell logo with triangle

6. choose update via zip in sd card, choose DJ's 1.9 zip and update

7. reboot

I've discovered a small issue with, it fails to ask the plugin to refresh once the images are downloaded in the background.

This is not a big problem as you can generate the refresh manually just by navigating up/down on the today screen.

However, the fix is version 1.1 which can be downloaded from the homepage above (or instead of the MRTGPLugin_1.0.zip download URL, change the id=20 to id=21).

I cannot modify the link on the above post yet (will do once I have enough posts) but for now, you have to edit the URL to id=21 or visit the home page.

Checking the "install non-market apps" box does not mean that more apps appear in the market. U find the apk file somewhere on the internet and put it on your SD card and then install it using a file manager like astro. I'd tell u how to install it through adb but I'm not proficient in adb.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thenimboo:
I just flashed a fresh cm7 rc4, along with gapps, and zendroid kernel (avs i think i'm not sure which one).

Things were working great. I was using the phone, had just installed widget locker, and then tried to plug my phone into the computer.

Thats when the trouble started. For some reason, usb debugging worked, even the wireless tether worked, but I could not get the sd card to be on the computer, the option just never came up.

To fix the problem, I tried resetting the phone, but when I did so the phone became stufk on the cm7 boot animation for a few hours. What do I do?

I would just do a fresh install, but this is actually the third time that I have gotten stuck on the bootloading screen with cm7, so I just need to find a solution. Please help.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] egzthunder1:
You posted in the wrong section. I will transfer this over to the EVO Q&A area.

I am assuming that you have your EVO rooted. If you are stuck in a bootloop, simply pull your battery, put it back in and press the power button while holding Vol Down. This will make you go into bootloader. From there, simply go into recovery, wipe everything, and reflash the rom. I have done CM7 and gapps and have no issue.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thenimboo:
I did that, many times. One time, it just worked. Didn't do anything different as far as I know, but kind of makes me unsure about future flashes etc.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harryprk2x:
Pull your battery out, wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache in recovery. Flash ONLY CM7 and the google apps. I think the kernel might be the problem for the bootloop.

call me a noob but i gotta ask, just what does the kernals do to the phone thats so special, and all the ghz talk means what. i rooted my device for the teather and customizing, and now i see all this talk of kernal this, overclock that, and different ghz people are getting can someone explain to me what this does for your phone, should i be interested???
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magneticzero:
popcorn kernals?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bigandrewgold:
the higher your ghz the faster your phone is.

overclocking is making your ghz higher

and kernals is what allows you to overclock(sorta)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trendsetter37:
lol dude...you should prob. take your time with customization but ghz is in reference to the speed of the processor. So...theoretically the higher the number the better your phone should perform...t, eoretically lol. Note that with a higher ghz value the worse your battery life will be unless the kernel is written really well. Also the kernel is the code that controls the devices hardware. (brain)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BobVS:
The nice thing is that you can generally play with different kernels without having to wipe and redo your phone. Also, if you really want to play with the various kernels out there you should get setcpu from the market. It let's you set your phone to make use of the processor in an over clocked (OC) application but it can also let you under clock your phone when your not using it, such as when the screen is off. This will help you conserve battery life. But be careful, over clocking can lead to over heating and other problems if you''re not careful
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poloboogie:
sounds very interesting, hmmm. so in the coming months people could create kernals to acheive speeds to challenge dual core phones
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregdalfonso:
the kernels already are challenging dual core phones. The thunderbolt currently has a 2ghz kernel. The motorola atrix is a 1 ghz dual core... Thunderbolt definately rivals it with overclock kernel
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skinien:
A "kernel" is the OS layer that sits between the applications and hardware. So, when an application says "light up LED" it eventually goes through the kernel to do this, most likely by a request/system call.

The speed of a CPU is measured in hertz (frequency). So, a 1 Ghz CPU can perform over 1 billion operations in one second. The frequency can be increased (overclocked). When you do so, this can damage the CPU (most likely due to heat). Heat can also cause the CPU to run efficiently. So, if you overclock too high, you COULD end up running slower than if you had just left it at 1 Ghz. Changing the frequency can also hinder stability.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poloboogie:
so with it being so dangerous how do u know what kernal to trust and whats a safe limit in hertz, do u stop at 1.5, because 2ghz sounds like pushing it
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmcclure937:
This thread is so full of misinformation it is comical. To start, higher clock speed does not always result in better performance.

Secondly, everyone has their own preference. The best bet is to find the perfect balance for your needs. For many people, overclocking the CPU is not very beneficial... since the device is already plenty fast at stock 1GHz speeds. A lot of users would rather use custom kernels to make their device more power efficient and use SMARTASS governors and lower voltages.

Mess around with kernels and see what you like the best! (always remember to create a backup before flashing... this allows you to easily revert back if something goes awry).

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
the majority of kernels we nexus one users play with, is undervolting the and playing with teh voltage tables to maximize standby battery life, at the same time overclocking the high end to improve performance. but really its about lowering voltage to improve battery life.
