i really doubt , mainly because it looks like it eats a lot of resources aka needs a dual core cpu, id be happy just with the lockscreen :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] buddy17:
no offense...but how lazy can you be?? You go to engadget.com and it is one of the top news articles that is saved at the top.

[HTC Inspire 4G] doost650:
Now that i think about it could Sense 3.0 be for dual core processors and Sense 2.0 be for single core processors? It does look like Sense 3.0 uses alot of power.
[HTC Inspire 4G] XAviierG:
IM in class Haha

HTC Inspire not Desire
[HTC Inspire 4G] 0space_monkey0:
read about it this morning... does look good, but man ima wait for htc 3d.
[HTC Inspire 4G] doktor buknasty:
But yet you are on the thread right now......*facepalm*

Back to topic...HTC sense 3.0 is looking pretty sweet. Hopefully we can get this or port it into a fully functioning rom.
[A7 General] netstat_EVO:
I have seen threads like this in other areas of XDA.

I figured it would be good to have one, all purpose, off topic thread.

Hopefully this will keep conversations that are not directly A7 related from being immediately locked.

Keep it clean, no post whoring for post count, etc.

Mr Clown. Possibly sticky this?
[A7 General] nthknd:
Ok ill start this off has anyone seen the news that nivida will not be supporting harmony past froyo? What does that mean for the a7 a10?
[A7 General] Poradicus:
I haven't heard of that in the news? Like to know more about this myself.
[A7 General] netstat_EVO:
Heard that around here a few times, and around tech sites a few times. Nvidia seems to be difficult to get any answers out of too. There were people asking about it on their forums and it didnt seem that anyone was getting any answers as to why.

That's the kind of treatment I would expect from eLocity/compal but not from nvidia :(
[A7 General] acid123:
Do you think this is due to drivers issues,
[A7 General] nthknd:
Ok new off topic just want to say congrates to dexter seem hes due to be a dad.
[A7 General] netstat_EVO:
No, I think it was just a bad management decision on nvidia's part. I can understand that they want their guys working on the new upcoming stuff, but abandoning not only the companies that used the last generation components in their products, but the users that purchased the devices not knowing that nvidia had something like this up their sleeve ... it's pretty BS. I don't see why they can't leave a small team working with the harmony boards. I am sure they have teams on the payroll that are working on projects that are useless in comparison.

Congrats Dexter!!!
[A7 General] okantomi:
Yes, heartfelt congratulations to Dexter, who has shown such patience and good humor to so many of us in this forum.

I was just thinking about how much computing power I'm holding in my hand with this crazy almost orphan eLocity A7...when compared to my first computer bought in 1991--a tank of a 486 33mhz mail-order ZEOS with a grand total of 8 MB of RAM and a 256 MB hard drive (but it had a math co-processor!) it's hard to comprehend how far we've come. That damn thing was the fastest computer around when new and cost 3 grand(!) and I had to install a CDR drive, a sound card and I can't even remember what else. I was a wiz with config.sys and autoexec.bat and made that beast last me for 7 years by crunching the hard drive beyond all comprehension. I actually ended up giving it away to someone in 1998, who went on to use it a couple more years after that.

So when we ***** and moan about the lack of true multi-touch, sd card issues, etc...just remember where we've come from and thank Dr. Moore.;)
[A7 General] netstat_EVO:
lol, my first machine was a IBM PC XT

A whopping 4.77 MHz of pure 8088 processor (pre-286) power.

UPGRADED to 256k of memory.

UPGRADED to a 20 MB hard drive.

ran the electric bill up higher than leaving the microwave on for days at a time :)
[A7 General] okantomi:
Hey, at least it had a hard drive! Remember when all they had were two huge floppy disk drives...if you were lucky!
[A7 General] tumpy:
Mine was a 386 cant remember the other spec, windows 3.1 damn I spent almost $800 and it was a used computer, my brother had me on his prodigy account back then, windows 95 with graphic was a pleasure to see. And my first Pentium was a 70....
[A7 General] netstat_EVO:
There was a point when disk drives were lucky too :)

At one point I had a Atari computer with a cassette tape drive :) super low tech.

Edit: have you ever seen a 8 inch floopy? Now those things were hilarious.
[A7 General] netstat_EVO:
I remember when Prodigy was the balls lol.

there was a key stroke easter egg in the windows 95 version that brought up a picture of their developers.

Do you remember Windows 2.0? I thought I was king of the world when I got to upgrade to 3.1
[A7 General] netstat_EVO:
Nvidia news!!!

Well it seems that we were all proved wrong after yesterday.

I just read this http://www.mytabletlife.com/2011/04/13/nvidia-support-older-tegra-2-tablets-all/ and it seems that nvidia will actually be continuing with support for the harmony boards. They are also saying that they want to help the open source ROM community, but in the same breath saying that they will not provide support, 3rd party drivers, or honeycomb source... So what else do they have to offer???
[A7 General] tumpy:
If they did stop, Intel with their Z brand and soon to be AMD would own the market, when Asus come out I will go with them, been buying Asus motherboard for over twenty add years love they brand, have a Eee PC and will most likely get their tablet. I still think Intel would come out ontop when Asus start to flood the tablet market..just like they netbook did..
[A7 General] bestialbub:
Commodore 64 on an old 13 inch anchor crt w the twist knobs and uhf/vhf selector. nyah. make me feel old.

theres a good 4 sdks and other device roms to dig around for our ol devices ya know..

and the chipset manufacter may appreciate your end purchases in their total sales to manufacturers, they arent there to support you. theyre there to support the manufacturers embedding their chipsets. they dont have to give you answers, support or care.

..last gossip said we should see a kernel source release in a week from elocity. yeah, i'll believe it when i see it. 2 months is a pretty fair wait time from last software release tho.
[A7 General] Dexter_nlb:
the official statement from Nvidia is a bit more specific..

they will continue to support the vendors with harmony based boards, as long as they continue to release updates...nvidia will as example provide help on elocityA7 as long as the guys behind it will release updates, so if they don't, nvidia will not be able to help.

as parts of the nvidia developer kit, is protected by a NDA, the support Nvidia provides Opensource ROM developers can be limited, and only chip related..

elocity has different BT,wifi,touch and other tabs follow the same path, different hardware used for bt,wifi,touch panels... so its limited how much nvidia can provide of assistance without vendors releasing updated sources..

thats why their original "quick" statement was, to go with 3.0 alone, since most vendors now have to go 3.0, and the old ones will die quickly as they got some nasty extras like softbuttons being unused, or too low resolution for new native 3.0 apps. similar to the new sense3.0 requiring more video and resolution, and people complain because it cannot fit on old small video and resolution devices.. a pretty good explanation but no one seems to understand..
[Desire HD General] henrik.dk:
most of the stupid things in desire HD were fixed but not a big step.

Cannot they push it out at the time desire HD was out? At that time,

it will be the ONE.
[Desire HD General] shree.cse:
Good question, I don't think Qualcomm Dual core processors are completely available at the release of our DHD. May be the reason HTC can push all those things into DHD, but it would be possible by now or even some time later. So we need to wait for DHD instead of waiting for Sensation. And from HTC side, they will loose the market if they won't ship products continuously with slight upgrade.

Any way I am going to sell my DHD for Sensation.

[Desire HD General] shree.cse:
Sorry for the repost. Delete this
[Desire HD General] gtg465x:
It's a pretty big step in my opinion. Next gen dual core Qualcomm processor, new Andreno 220 graphics chip, higher resolution QHD display, MHL for HDMI output over USB, 1080p video recording, front facing camera, new Bluetooth 3.0 chip, larger battery, and a brand new version of Sense. Yeah, small upgrade :rolleyes:.
[Desire HD General] intern:
I agree, it's a pretty big upgrade. Even if the processors were available when the DHD was released, they wouldn't have been when the hardware specs were finalised, which would have been months before the release.
[Desire HD General] equlizer:
Drool. But of course ill have to wait for 850/900 canadian 3g bands :(
[Desire HD General] TheSobadef:
What a blasphemous topic!! The DHD is an OLD Sense 2.0 based device, with a mere Adreno 205 GPU and a sub-par display... This is a godly re-imagining of Android, and while it has the same size, RAM, ROM, Camera.... Ok I can see the similarities LMAO But it still has Sense 3.0!! Along with a GPU that blows everything else out of the water :D
[Desire HD General] TheSobadef:
Fear not!! Many European phones bear these bands, so it should be no more than... 7-8 months on Telus, and maybe half that for Bell LOL
[Desire HD General] ghostofcain:
Yes it is and your point being, it is in manufacturers interest to keep the spec reasonable so they can make the best profit and have something in hand for when they get trumped. Anyone buying a top spec device risks disappointment when it is usurped mere months down the line by the next big thing.
[Desire HD General] sromer:
On their official facebook page HTC just said:

"Clarification: There are aspects of the latest HTC Sense that won’t work on some of our previous devices. We are working to incorporate other aspects that will. Stay tuned."

So there's still hope for parts of sense 3.0 officially being put on our DHD even if it's not the whole thing
[Desire HD General] sageandonion:
Its all HTC marketing hype they just want you to buy a new phone to get sense 3. They are really getting very poor at supporting older phones. Thank heavens for cm7 so I don't have to wait a life time for GB with sense(less) added on top. IMHO.
[Desire HD General] dlads:
Tbh the new sense will look different but they aren't going to fix something which isn't broken, HTC are too smart for that, they'll add features to an already established product, and as for us being on the soon to be lower end of the spectrum, it's just a case of making do with what the custom rom makers can rustle up, i'm sure there will be some sort of sense 3.0 port on the DHD and other phones, there always is, i mean i have froyo running like a dream on my old hero which was never available from HTC as an upgrade afaik.

So don't worry about your DHD just yet because theres plenty of life left in it :)

[Droid X General] shukero:
Hey guys just wondering what everyone is using for a music player? I am using winamp right now, but if there is a better one out there I'd gladly give it a test run :D
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
Try poweramp. That's the one I use
[Droid X General] Casen:

[Droid X General] raziel36:
PowerAMP is the single winner, no competition. Use it all the time with my Bluetooth stereo in my car. Sounds amazing and has great options and equalizer.
[Droid X General] Roland Deschain:
PowerAMP or bust. Just buy it, don't bother looking at other so-called "solutions". :)
[Droid X General] jrobi25:
Poweramp......although the player audiogalaxy uses is passable....of only it had an eq

Poweramp is good but if you don't want to pay to keep it then I'd recommended zimly which is free.

What's wrong with doubletwist?
[Droid X General] jeftep:
If you have a large amount of organized, but badly tagged MP3's - Mortplayer is the way to go.

Its the only "Folder-based" music player I've found, yet.

I don't know about you, but I hate loading my MP3's into other apps only to find duplicate albums, albums with 1 song in them, 10 versions of the same artist because the tags differ in capitalization... Don't even get me started on my Electronica genre, adding it makes any list of artists or albums so unwieldy large its frustrating.

I do, however, organize my MP3's in a directory structure - so Mortplayer lets me browse the Genre folders and then pick artists to listen to.

+1 Poweramp! It just works!

Does T-Mobile already have the phone?? How does some people already have the phone?? I have Samsung Galaxy S 4g I love the phone but not liking the internal memory shortage issues. I hope G2x doesn't have the same issue.

Think online sales start on the 15th. It's in the stores on the 20th.

Not to throw a spanner in the works but this was just released. Coming soon HTC code name pyrimid or real name Sensation. link

I was all set on getting the g2x but with the not insignificant issues, I'm now not sure. I could be returning to HTC

[LG Optimus 2x] cenwesi:
yes, saw that too but i still think i will get the LG. Do we know if the sensation bootloader is locked?
[LG Optimus 2x] Minker17:
Don't know, but that is one of the reasons I'm not really worrying about it and looking at the g2x
[LG Optimus 2x] ericc191:
I'm still getting the G2X. 1.2GHz? Please, we'll have a modified kernel sporting 1.2 in no time. As for the ram, it won't be too noticeable since what's actually available to the user is what matters. You can check that using Advanced Task Killer. Also, from the vids, the G2X looks quicker and smoother when opening apps and home screen transitions. That's because it's running pretty much stock. I can't wait to see how blistering fast it is when it gets GB. A couple other things to note, G2X gets two speakers and sensation only gets the same crappy one on the back, that whole "unibody" aluminum surrounding the phone is actually all on the battery cover.

Yeah I know that was harsh lol

EDIT: This is pretty funny. It's the O2X vs GS2 gaming.

[LG Optimus 2x] peacekeeper05:
Paul of modaco asked HTC and they replied that htc sensation will have a locked bootloader.

I still will prefer g2x cause i do not like sense. Sense with all of its 3d effects and unnecesary features are such big memory huggers. Anyways i can easily oc my 2x to 1200 without any side effects.

And 4.3 inch are not my type. Too big for a phone and drains more battery. 4 inch is better for me. And only 1 gb internal memory is not good
[LG Optimus 2x] Mr. Spontaneous:
However, unlike the Tegra 2, the dual core Snapdragons can clock cores independently of each other. This will improve performance and battery life.

I'm one of the first people to say "Unused RAM is wasted RAM", and 512mb has been more than enough for most people. The big question mark is what kinds of requirements apps and the OS will have in the near future, once Ice Cream drops. Also, I hope you aren't advocating the use of task killers ;)

Not to take anything away from the G2x, it's still a great phone, and one that I'm planning on getting if it ships with an unlocked bootloader. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] gaww:
Am only considering the G2X over here (US) because of the additional AT&T data bands. is still a toss-up as to whether the AT&T gets done, but I will not be getting anything on TMo over here with only their frequencies until whatever happens is final.

If I decide to keep G2X after the return period is up, my MT4G will be heading promptly to eBay. Buyers will have choice of fully rooted with CM7.0.0 or stock - rooted or unrooted - lol.
[LG Optimus 2x] player911:
I posted this in another thread comparing the two:
[LG Optimus 2x] Chalup:
Here's my 2 cents/rant:

I love the 4.3" screen over the 4". However, HTC has ruined the Sensation. How? First, I do not like HTC Sense, which wouldn't be a problem if I could load whatever firmware or ROM I wanted onto the phone. However, if the Thunderbolt teaches us anything, it's that HTC is going to become more and more like Motorola--who knows if the Sensation will have an encrypted bootloader?

So for me it's the (IMO) superior screen but awful Sense versus the inferior screen but the ability to do what I want with my $500 or $600 mini computer/phone.

And might I add that Sense is even more intrusive now--have any of you seen how HTC has destroyed the pull down menu on the Thunderbolt? WTF?!

Now to continue the rant: why should I even stay with T-Mobile? AT&T is simply and utterly terrible. They ought to be sued and investigated for their false advertising of 4G speeds. I went into an AT&T store the other day to check out the Atrix. I ran speed test on the Atrix and got around 1mbps down and only 0.3 mbps up. On my Vibrant, which technically isn't even HSPA+, I got 1.5 mbps down and 1.2 mbps up consistently in the same location. So !@#$ AT&T, why would I want to stick with T-Mobile only to be forced to have AT&T take over my contract? AT&T purposely cripples the upload speeds on their phones advertised as 4G. !@#$ them and their awful customer satisfaction and rate plans.

FYI - HTC Sensation only has 1GB internal storage - http://www.htc.com/www/product/sensation/specification.html
[LG Optimus 2x] compuguy1088:
Thinking the same thing, except I would love to use it unlocked on at&t.....
[LG Optimus 2x] ko0l:
The HTC Sensation will have a 4GB Rom however 1gb will be allocated to the data partition for apps, the rest will be allocated to the system, cache, recovery partitions etc.

http://www.htc.com/us/products/sensation4g-tmobile#tech-specs

Kind of like how the desire has a 512mb rom but only ~130mb for apps
[LG Optimus 2x] ericc191:
No no, task killers are definitely bad unless you have a G1 like me. They are useful for telling someone how much available memory their phone has, though.

That's really not cool. Are they advertising that it has 4GB or 1GB, though?
[LG Optimus 2x] Mr. Spontaneous:
I think the discrepancy is due to the differences between the T-Mobile version and the international version. I mean, look at the specs of the Desire vs. Incredible vs. N1.
[LG Optimus 2x] dnichols4:
Good catch. I read an article last night that clarified the 1 GB was actual user addressable available space.
[LG Optimus 2x] gaww:
It is out now - ordered on. I have 20 days to try it and return it if not satisfied. I want to see if "8 GB storage, 512 MB RAM" is going to be a factor. I will be rooting it and installing a different ROM and moving the larger apps where possible over to the SD card.

Game on!

Hi.

I've kindda new to this android on hd2 stuff,but i've got a clue with the whole Formatting and Flashing stuff,my question is the ringtone volume is set to maximum but still i feel that the ringer isn't like the volume in wm6.5,so i looked around and found that it could be fixed with dsp manager,i tried to modify the frequency response chart but it led to a sharp squeaky voice.

so any help would be appreciated.

my Rom is:

[Android Software Development] greydarrah:
I have an activity that is a blank screen except for one ImageView object that has it's gravity set to center. Then in my res\anim directory, I animate that image, basically moving it from the bottom of the screen to the center (rising up), using <translate>. What I'm trying to figure out how to do is have the activity load with a blank screen, not showing the ImageView until after the animation finishes with the image centered. What happens right now is the screen shows with the image already in the center, then the animation takes over and moves it from bottom to top. How Can I make the animation happen first, before showing the ImageView?
[Android Software Development] Lakers16:
//Default:

imageView.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);

onAnimationStart() {

imageView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);

}
[Android Software Development] greydarrah:
The .setVisibilty works, but it's led me to another problem. In my xml layout file for this activity, I only have 2 objects, a TextView at the top of the screen (using LinearLayout) and then an ImageView that is set to.

<LinearLayout

android:orientation="horizontal"

android:layout_width="fill_parent"

android:layout_height="fill_parent"

android:gravity="center">

<ImageView android:id="@+id/Image01"

android:src="@drawable/image_01"

android:layout_height="150dp"

android:layout_width="200dp"

android:paddingTop="10px"

>

</ImageView>

</LinearLayout>

This puts the image dead center of the screen. What I want the animation to do is have the image rise from the bottom of the screen to the center. The problem is that even if I have the .setVisibility to INVISIBLE in the onCreate, then set to VISIBLE after I start the animation, it still flashes the image in the dead center of the screen (for about half a second), then immediately drops to the bottom and rises back up to center. This looks sloppy. How can I make the image never show until appears at bottom then rise to the center? I beg for specifics, as I'm just getting feet wet with java and xml.

Never mind, this only seems to happen in the emulator. It works fine on the phone.

Hello,

I am using in my Wildfire (S-ON) the rom Froyo ARABIC build 2.37.415.1 with the HBOOT 1.01.0002,

there is any way to install a official European Rom???

I have long sought a 2.37 european rom, but was not the meeting

please can someone help me change the rom?

THANKS,greetings.
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
There's a thread in the Wildfire Development Section on how to Downgrade Android 2.2.1 to 2.1. Follow that. (The Hboot won't be downgraded, only the OS). After that, you should be able to run the 2.22.405 WWE RUU.

Not sure it will work, but, I think it's worth a try,
[Wildfire General] josemaesra:
Thank you very much for answering, but I tried and did not work,

I think the only thing I can do is to install a European official rom 2.37 or higher

the problem is that I find no ...

Greetings:)
[Wildfire General] Padbox:
I'm in the same boat. Got a wildfire for my step brother as a present but its in arabic w/ arabic keyboard and no Market app. I'm new to this and kinda clueless, tried the downgrade but it just keeps failing. And since its a 2.37 I can't install the WWE 2.22 RUU.

Any instruction would be great.
[Wildfire General] josemaesra:
Hello Padbox,

for more languages ​​I use Morelocale2.apk,

and use the keyboard gingerbreadkeyboard.apk,

hopefully soon see a wwe rom 2.37 or higher
