Updated 16-Apr-2011 :

Still hunting for rootapps reboot problem.

There's a thought that its caused by our second /init dying.

Indeed, this can be reproduced if u kill -HUP or just kill the secondary init process.

i.e.

# ps | grep init

1 0 348 S /init

1117 0 392 S /init

2854 0 840 S grep init

# kill -HUP 1117

causes phone to say "SD-card safe to remove" and than reboot.

Unfortunately we can't replace original init on process 1, the only way to do it is to boot custom kernel..

And out init (1117 in my example) is not system-protected, and can be killed.

Now, can someone tell me why running root apps causes second init to die ?

So thats the clue for solution, custom kernel = end of problems.

I saw a post somewhere that insinuated that launcherPro used more battery than the stock launcher, thus decreasing battery life.

Have any of you any comments regarding this? I have always been a LauncherPro user and i have always complained about battery life with various devices ( I found the HTC Inspire almost unusable because of poor battery life and the Atrix was a similar experience and even my broken HTC desire Z was borderline for battery).
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] milko9000:
I recently switched back to the stock launcher (albeit without actually uninstalling Launcher Pro) and I can't say I've noticed any difference in battery life.

I would say though that using the LP Pro widgets for Friends and having that do frequent sync checks will chew through some battery life, if you didn't have similar widgets on the go in the stock launcher.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] dario3040:
I just got worse framerates when using Launcherpro, no battery drain though.

It was a must on the HTC Hero, on the nexus S its kind of pointless i guess.

Posting it here because it wasn't showing up in the market (TnT Lite - and not sure it was supposed to) and I was unable to d/l the apk from the 'getfirefox' site (kept giving me a market:// link which didn't work on my tab and was, as expected, useless on a desktop).

Did a little searching, found the location, thought I might be able to save someone else the bother.

Bionix Arc​

** This has Sony Bootanimation, Arc Launcher, Some Arc Widgets and Arc Wallpaper chooser **​

I've read a lot of interest for a Xperia Arc theme and Demiurgic has a bad a** port he did for the Bi-Winning Rom so all i did was port it over to work on Bionix & Trigger for us who didn't want to switch to the 2.2.1 roms. SO CREDIT GOES TO TEAM EDT AND DEMIURGIC FOR THE INITIAL PORT :-)

If you like please hit the THANKS METER :-)

INSTALLATION:

1. Make NANDROID ALWAYS!!!!

2. Download and put somewhere on the root of your SD...

3. Reboot into ClockWorkMod Recovery

4. Find the Bionix_Arc zip and flash..

5. Reboot and enjoy

This wipes the dalvik-cache...so first boot will take a while....

Hello,

I am trying to get rid of the HTC splash screen (first thing you see after pressing power with the HTC logo). I followed the instructions from THIS THREAD for the droid incredible but it did not work. I tried changing the name of PB31IMG.zip to PG05IMG.zip but then I got an error message from hboot "Model ID incorrect! Update Failed!"

[HD2 General] nymikey:
I have a hd2 tmobile usa version, i need a At&t friendly Nand rom. Whats the best rom out there for At&t????
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
as far as I know any NAND Android ROM should work on AT&T as it is not the ROM that controls this but a combination of you sim card, APN settings, and you having your HD2 sim unlocked. Wait for more replies though as I do not use AT&T and it might actually be a ROM out there that has certain things adjusted for AT&T, but what that might be I do not know.
[HD2 General] TKETZ196:
This is true, the ROM does not control the radio. There are methods of flashing the radio to a different version, one that may work for the AT&T 3G bands. I am looking them up, but that is how you would flash the device to change the radio.

Hardware wise, the GSM module does support all world wide bands but what makes then different from one HD2 from one carrier ot another is the firmware version that is used in the phones that make them work on the network's bands. Correct me if i am wrong though.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Untrue my friend, the T-Mobile HD2 only supports the bands used by T-Mobile for 3G. If you sim unlock the T-Mobile HD2 you can use the device with other carriers but you will only get Edge for a data signal as the hardware only supports the T-Mobile 3G bands. There is a model of the HD2 that supports a different 3G band the same ones AT&T uses in the US, it is the Australian model that Telstra a Australian cell carrier released as they use the same bands as AT&T. go to "Official HD2 T9193 (Telstra 850Mhz) Discussion Thread" and you can learn more about it. I also saw your other post in another thread about trying to help your friend out getting 3G on his HD2 using AT&T. Unless he is willing to buy a Telstra HTC HD2 T9193 or have his T-Mobile HTC HD2 T8585 worked on to switch out the hardware for the hardware in the T9193 then he will never getb 3G with AT&T.
[HD2 General] lude219:
Just to answer your question, every rom is an AT&T friendly ROM, meaning, they'll allow you to talk, text and surf the internet.

What you DONT have is AT&T 3G on your tmous HD2. You'll be stuck with EDGE speed.
[HD2 General] nymikey:
Thank you all 4 your help,greatly apreciated!! I'm in puerto rico where tmobile is still on Edge. But for some reason tmobile is still alot faster when it comes to receiving & sending MMS than At&t on this phone. Currently using Coredroid 1.5
[HD2 General] TKETZ196:
its interesting they would use different hardware GSM modules for the slightly different models. I would think the radio firmware version woudl take care of that. Thanks for clarification. I assumed that all GSM modules would be built the same way.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Sadly they are not, this in my opinion is just cellular carriers trying to keep you locked to their networks cause the know most people don"t want to have to buy another device when changing carriers if they already have a good device. So they make it were branded devices can only utilize high speed data with it's intended carriers network. I think this is unfair to consumers, but again just my opinion.
[HD2 General] stevedebi:
I think there is technical reason. The various carriers have very different technologies. Even AT&T uses a different 3G network than T-Mobile, despite the fact that both are GSM. Sprint and Verizon use non GSM technologies that are even more different. When a device manufacturer makes a certain model, there is only so much room inside, and unless one wants a really thick and heavy device, a choice has to be made as to which hardware goes into the phone.

I'm not saying that they don't want you to stay on their network - they do, which is why they have those 2 year contracts in exchange for buying a discounted phone. But I don't think that is why the hardware is different.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:

hi guys just wondering if anyone knows of a battery other than the original which is the same shape,

pretty sure there will be one

either samsung, nokia, lg ect

the original battery on this devices is rubbish

thanks
[Blade General] sambartle:
You do realise that it being the same shape doesn't mean it will work?

There's a few other things you would need to check otherwise you risk at worse killing the battery or the phone.. or starting a fire.

I don't find it any worse than any other smartphone (I have to charge all my phones daily).. JuiceDefender is your friend here for prolonging battery life.

Also most batteries for phones are the same shape.. its square.. most are.. you need one the same dimensions, voltage, polarity, and chemical type.. as well as one that charges at the same rate and indicates full charge safely to the charging circuit. (Basically dont do it is what I'm getting at)
[Blade General] shad0wboss:
I believe the opposite, as long as the battery fix, which won't fix until it's for your phone, you'll be fine...

The truth is, each phone has it's own size/shape from where the battery gets connected into sockets, not sure about zte blade but that is how it works for nokia, samsung, lg, motorola...

This is the battery of the Zte blade with 1300 mAh when the stock battery is 1250 mAh so this one's a better one so if you want to buy it, buy it :P

[Droid 2 Global General] AmCupSailor:
After much searching on this forum and many others, I am still unable to discern if there is a method available to achieve video capture at 720p with my Droid 2 Global.

If I have understood correctly the pages-upon-pages of discussion and product specifications that I've read through in search for an answer, a mobile phone's ability to record HD video depends on the specification of its processor.

The facts seem to be that the D2G is technically capable of recording 720p video, whereas the vastly more popular Droid 2 is not, by nature of their differing processors.

The D2G's "TI OMAP3630-1200" processor, as stated by Motorola's Developer web page, is identical to those of the Droid X and Milestone 2 (the Euro-market version of the Droid 2) in all but its clock speed, "TI OMAP3630-1000." Both the Droid X and Milestone 2 are capable of capturing 720p video.

I am merely an enthusiastic user of my phone, and have never even dabbled with development. Yet it seems to me, given the many other 'miracles' I've witnessed accomplished on these phones, that there certainly must be a member of this assuredly knowledgeable forum that can offer me either an explanation as to how I can capture 720p video with my D2G, or at least why it will never be possible as it is with a Milestone 2.

Thanks very much; I'm waiting with bated breath for a reply.

-Benjamin
[Droid 2 Global General] rusty815:
It can also be limited by the camera sensor, which I believe is the case with the d2g
[Droid 2 Global General] AmCupSailor:
Thanks very much for your prompt input. I do appreciate greatly any suggestion that might ultimately give me the answer I desire.

However, I must admit, without any data sheet to prove that the image sensors used in the Droid 2 Global and Milestone 2 are in fact different (and believe me, I've searched... and searched for such specific device information), I find this suggestion to be less than satisfying an answer as to why I cannot capture 720p video with my D2G.

In fact, I'm lead to believe by Motorola's Developer Website that the image sensors used in each the Milestone 2 and Droid 2 Global are identical (as is most all of the componentry used in the phones), by nature of there being no differences in the six lines of specifications listed under the "Camera" category on each of the phone's spec sheets. It's unfortunate Motorola has not seen fit to post the precise specifications of the sensors themselves.

And so I implore this knowledgeable community to yet point me in the correct direction of a satisfying answer--whether proving the image sensor in my D2G is different than that of a Milestone 2 and isn't technically capable of capturing 720p video, or providing me with a more positive solution.

many thanks,

Benjamin
[Droid 2 Global General] mib_asd:
I am curious a well. Developers pay little attention to such a great phone :(
[Droid 2 Global General] Neurotica:
I believe it has a lot to do with the hype. Droid X, Original Droid and Droid 2 get a lot more attention from Motorola and Developers. Noticed the number of ROMs for the D2G, not D2 ports. Updates roll pretty slow for the D2G as well.

Even if the D2G is capable of recording 720P videos, Motorola has to remember that the D2G exists and Verizon must approve of such updates and the company pushing out the update must not screw up.

OR XDA devs with an ugly duckling(D2G in this case), can make the very few owners of a D2G happy by finding a way to help us record 720P. Somewhat pointless at this point when everyone is targeting 1080P.

Don't you just hate how Android fragmentation makes 2-months old devices look like dinosaurs?
[Droid 2 Global General] Asphyx:
Rusty is correct, But there is much more than just the camera sensor involved. The Video SubSystem also has a lot to do with the ability of a camera to create trup 720P video.

It does however start with the camera sensor. the resolution of the CMOS determines the Native capabilities.

The sensor must be able to resolve enough pixels to make a true 720P (1280X720).

Anything less would not be a true 720P capture. That doesn't mean a phone could not then upconvert it to a 720P format which is what I expect the Milestone and Dx do via it's video subsystem if the cameras CMOS' are actually the same.

It's not true 720P as it really does not have the true resolution of a native 720P capture it is merely scaled to 720P by adding pixels (based on the pixels that surround it) and creating a 720P output from (ie) a WVGA capture.

Its kind of the same thing as DVD player with 1080P Upconvert does.

The DVD is really a 720 X 480 source that is scaled to 1080P but you get no extra detail from the original in that scalling.
