would you rather have a amazing rom kernel or radio? id have to go with kernel. based on the fact that its the center of the phone and determines, for the most part battery life and speed.
[General Topics] magicriggs:
Kernel. Then radio and rom in that order. I prefer a stock feel to a device so Roms unless there aosp I don't care to much for.

I was just wondering if there is way to remove the update, besides hard reseting? I would really like to not update because I have not rooted yet.
[Atrix 4G General] cordell507:
just root then update

I believe I saw somewhere you can use TiBU to freeze the "update" process.

im reading that advanced task killer is good and bad, so is it bad to install or does it really work? im running CM7 Stable.
[Nook Color General] dsf3g:
Everything I've read says you don't need it with Android 2.2 and above.
[Nook Color General] Gin1212:
I use it, nice quick and easy way to close things (like emulators that normally won't shut themselves off.)
[Nook Color General] EverythingNook:
me too but my friends have 2.3 and they use it.
[Nook Color General] Rhegaana:
I use it if videos start to stutter (ie youtube etc). It seems to help.
[Nook Color General] Product F(RED):
It's bad if you set it to Auto-Kill. The reason is because from 2.2 onward, if you kill (not Force Close) and app, it'll just restart itself. That being said, Linux is not like Windows. With Linux, the OS will fill up memory (RAM) with whatever it can, in this case applications, even if you're not using them. HOWEVER, it will only dedicate the CPU to whatever you're actually using, so whatever is in memory and isn't being used won't affect you (aside from poorly-coded apps). You can use ATK to kill an app if it's just one or two, but not everything.

If you set ATK to auto-kill everything or if you hit Kill Everything, you'll have a ton of apps restarting at the same time, slowing down your phone for a while and eating battery.
[Nook Color General] EverythingNook:
alright ill stay away from it thanks!
[Nook Color General] sk8house911:
That about sums it up. The only time an app should be killed is if a bug causes it to hang or slow down severely. Otherwise, let the Android system handle things itself.
[Nook Color General] adunofaiur:
In my experience it's nice to have for when you need to kill off a specific game or resource intensive app that seems to be slowing things down.
[Nook Color General] EverythingNook:
so would you recommended going into the app itself and picking the apps i want to be closed? or could i also use the widget to close all of them?
[Nook Color General] thechrisventura:
I would only recommend going into the app itself, long-pressing on the app you want to kill, and then pressing kill. Closing all of them just forces a large number of apps to restart. I really only use it to kill certain apps that are more difficult to close.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huynhct:
Hi all,

Fresh new dell streak, flashed streakdroid 1.9.

Now when I try to set any picture as wallpaper, it seems like it is zoomed in, destroying any high-res detail. Did I do something wrong? How should I go about fixing this? It is SUPER annoying.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Questions...

1. What are the dimensions of the wallpaper?

2. When you set the image as wallpaper, there should be an orange box on the screen. Using the multi-touch capabilities of the screen, did you expand the size of the orange box to contain the entire picture?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huynhct:
it happens using any wallpaper, both default and downloaded. The downloaded one im using is 1600ish x 1000ish. Yea, I use the box to get the entire image for my wallpaper, but still no luck. It still seems to show a zoomed image no matter what.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
The resolution should be 960 x 800. At the resolution you're using, the picture will look horrible because the phone has to downsize the image to fit the screen. This leads to jaggies and moire effects on the screen.

Get a photo editor and downsize your image to 960 x 800, then load it as wallpaper.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EDIT: As an example, I use a cropped version of the following image:

The version displayed here is a low quality version. The original image is 14MB in size with a resolution of 2486 x 1914. While I could have downsized the image as is to something pretty respectible on the Streak, I discovered that on a 5" screen the sun would be rather small. That didn't appeal to me, so in order to see the sun, I cropped the image in Photoshop CS5 so it was smaller with the details I wanted, namely the sun, the blue glow, and the foreground.

From there I used Photoshop's Image Size and Canvas Size functions to get the final image, seen below as an attachment.

Now, you were complaining about a loss of resolution earlier. Unfortunately, the Streak doesn't have the same color resolution as my netbook does, and the two of them cost the same amount of money. Load my wallpaper into your phone and you will see distinct banding within the blue glow. This is because the phone doesn't have 32-bit color depth like a standard computer monitor. There's nothing that can be done with that to the best of my knowledge. But by resizing the image so the Streak doesn't have to downsample the image itself, you can make the image look a lot more presentable.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huynhct:
Ahh, that was it. The default wallpapers are all sized wrong. Thanks!!

Re

To create a theme your going to want to edit the visual ui of the phone. A good place to start is the systemui.apk and the main theme of the phone, in cm7's case, the cyanbread and system themes witch you can also find in system/app. Bassically with the systemui.apk and theme you are editing of your choice will be the finished product if your just starting, making a theme from scratch is a bit more complicated. As for boot animations that I believed is located in data/local and fonts should be in a folder for them selves I cannot think of the topr off of the top of my head but it is easy to identify I'm sure.

the way I edit and make themes is use the above apk's and just go crazy with transparencys and colors in gimp. Be in mind your going to need a Linux based os to edit the apks and place and take them from your zip rom your theming. I also think ther might be a apks editor for windows but idk what it is called.

ya you are going to need to have the android sdk setup for the ADB and then you will use something like apk manager for pulling, extracting, decompiling, image edits, or xml edits which you can find here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=695701

you will need the SDK setup first

which can be found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=834748

and here

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

then you need to know simple ADB commands like:

"adb pull /system/app/Mms.apk" and push command which is "adb push Mms.apk /system/app/"

more commands here:

http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html

and

http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all-things-root/187820-how-adb-commands.html

it is also a GOOD idea to learn to use Eclipse for the compiling of the .9.png files which cannot be just simply edited and saved like a normal .png file can.

NOTE: the best way to edit the .9.png files are going to be with the Draw9Patch tool that is included in the SDK and draw the black lines (guides) this is located in the tools folder and then you use Eclipse to compile .. get rid of the black lines pretty much.

info about the .9.png can be found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=487001

info for eclipse, like how to set it up and download it is here:

http://developer.android.com/sdk/eclipse-adt.html#installing

does say to use the classic version of Eclipse.

once you have all of that figured out then you are pretty good. But there are other stuff to learn to like the programs themselves and stuff .. you will have to look on Google a lot .. I know that there isnt anything much there about any of this stuff .. I kid you not .. it took me a good 2 days to figure out how to use the apk manager and eclipse and how to alter the .9.png files. That was from getting bits and pieces off the web and a lot of trial and error .. the support around here sucks so dont expect much.

there is also a video that shows you how to setup the sdk along with the eclipse that is here

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIL1UouA4dE

just use the previous links above to get the stuff like the sdk is at version 10 now and then the Eclipse Classic.

If this is too much for you to do and figure out then you are out of luck.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] wauterboi:
Yeah, I've used ADB and Eclipse before. I'm quite ****e at Eclipse, but I guess I could mozy around a bit and see if I could get the hang of it enough to do themes. I'm really eager to do that stuff.

Anyway, is there anything I'll have to look out for in regards to turning my phone into a lovely paperweight?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Strapt:
eh nothing that I have come across or know about.

so if you know ADB and a little with eclipse . what exactly are you trying to figure out?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] wauterboi:
Right now I'm trying to figure out how to open the APK. I used WinRAR to open the file and now when I try to open it in Eclipse, it just opens WinRAR. >_>
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Strapt:
the easiest and the best method is to use that apk manager that I linked in there and use that to extract the apk after you pull it from the phone using ADB

I usually use the adb pull /data/app and adb pull system/app to get all the apk files out at the same time.

after they are out you will put the ones you want to alter (up to 10 at a time) into the place apk here for modding folder and then open apk manager terminal ..

1) type 22 to select the apk that you want to mod.

2) then you will type 1 to extract it.

3) then you can go to the projects folder to see the extracted apk contents.

- usually the images that you want to alter will be in the res/drawable or the

res/drawable-hdpi or res/rawable-hdpi longfinger

- also some of the apps that do not use the .9.png files you will have to find

the image in two folders ... one for portrait mode and landscape mode.

alter the images you want and put them in the original folder.

4) then you will optimize the images which is option number 2.

5) then you will sign the apk which is number 3.

- if it is a system app select the correct option

6) then you will see an unsignedsomething.apk in the place apk here for modding.

7) to sign the apk you will hit number 4.

8) and then number 5 to zipalign the apk.

when you go back to your place apk here for maodding folder you will see that the unsignedsomething.apk is now signedsomething.apk

then you will push that to your phone using the adb/push something.apk /sdcard

then simply install the apk from the phone ... may have to uninstall the original app first.

winrar will not open the apk .. 7zip will . but i rarely use this as I cannot see the thumbnails for the images and cannot optimize the apk with it or anything else for that matter.

I know JsChiSurf said he had to do a lot to get that to work on Sense Froyo. I would expect there's a good amount of effort to get it to work on the new system, and I doubt he'd take it on until there's something more stable and official. Of course I don't want to speak for him, but if I were in his shoes, I'd want a stable base to work from.

I also don't think he's ported the new CM7 widgets with scrolling yet.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] balldeep:
As far as the PCW from what's stated in his thread it can only hold 6 options but you could rearrange or replace the ones you like from those listed.

It's complex and he got it to work, even with 6 options it's hard for me to do without.

That and a fastboot option i'm sure will come soon in the ROM race.

...for now why not try quick settings and quick boot from the market, I use it when experimenting with a ROM without those features.

Hi Guys,

Just a quick thread in regards to my Omnia 7 which I pushed to NODO using chevron updater.

From my current position, am I able to unlock my phone, or downgrade my phone?

There are a few things I wanted to tweak using registry but backtracking and reading threads seem to need me to be unlocked/jailbroken or sitting on a pre-nodo build.

If possible, could someone point me in the right direction or describe possible steps.

I came from an android modding history for hero and galaxy S and took the easier path of updating to nodo for my omnia 7 (awesomeness goes to Chris) but am itching to muck around with this phone now :D

Thanks in advance

My phone ran completely dead earlier this evening and now I've run into a roadblock. I plugged it in to charge, and nothing. I thought my USB cord may have went bad on me so I tried another, no dice. I thought the charger might be bad so I tried a different one....nope. Needless to say I'm a bit worried my phone is bricked or something. I tried to power it into the recovery, but it is bone dead. I haven't flashed anything in a few weeks and this is a result of the battery simply dying. :(

I am leaving the battery out over night, hopefully solving the issue. What might be going on here? Could the battery be screwed?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
When the battery dies completely, sometimes it won't charge or do anything for a while. This usually freaks people out, but by the next day it'll charge. Just leave it out, put it back in & try again. If that doesn't work, do it again. It might take a couple tries but it should eventually charge. I've never heard of it bricking a phone, though.

The only other possibility might be that the battery is fried. You can get replacement batteries pretty cheap on ebay.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaelvibe:
Yeah I am hoping this is the case. The battery has never acted this particular way though. I'll leave it out overnight and check back in the morning.

Appreciate the response. Ease my mind a little haha.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
You're battery is most likely toasted. Sometimes, as plainjane said, you'll get lucky and if you leave it plugged in long enough, it MAY start to charge. That's usually not the case though, and you'll probably need a new battery. LiPo batteries do not like to die completely, and when they do, it's possible (and likely) that it won't recieve a charge anymore. Sometimes you can get the battery to start charging again by using a direct wall charger, that your actual battery slides into on the wall (not in your phone). It has to do with the voltage of the battery dropping so low, that the software in the evo won't allow it to charge, for whatever reason. Just make sure that when you're trying to charge it, that it's plugged into the wall and not USB on your computer.

Your battery is not fried.

If you're rather impatient, just drop it by a Sprint repair location and have them boost it on their cadex machine real fast. It'll trickle charge enough to turn the device on, then you can charge from there.
