Well, 2Q 2011 ended 11 days ago. I'll believe it when I see it. Actually, I won't ever see it because I'm now using Virtuous Unity. Hot stuff I tell you. And it doesn't have all the pre-loaded crapware T-Mobile adds into the ROM.

The Nexus One spoiled me. I tried to keep my MT4G stock as long as possible. I'm surprised I made it 6 months on the stock MT4G ROM. Once you root and flash a gazillion different ROMs, stock is definitely and simply boring.
[myTouch 4G General] joemoss:
i agree i got it too and its the best rom i have ever used i dont think im gonna go to another one
[myTouch 4G General] fastredponycar:
I saw on engaget today that the new MT4G slide will have gingerbread, sense 3.0 and some sort of new slick camera software. Curious if we'll get the same rom or not...
[myTouch 4G General] estallings15:
Hahahaha! Keep dreamin. Don't forget that the doubleshot has more than twice the processing power of the glacier. Sense 2.1 was already pushing it with the bloatware T-mobile added. Sense 3.0 is even worse.
[myTouch 4G General] Ace42:
Of course not the hardware on that thing is the same as Sensation....We get Espresso, check out the leaked GB ROM for our phones, that's what we're getting. There's a doubleshot rom from the MT4GS here too if you wanna taste of 3.0 on that phone. Ginger for us will look just like froyo, no fancy 3D effects for older single core phones.
[myTouch 4G General] hldc1:
You are correct. The Gingerbread leak from early May looks identical to 2.2.1. The only big change/addition was the inclusion of the Quick Settings tab in the notification pulldown. I believe the leaked build had Sense 2.1. Pretty much going to have to rely on XDA if you want Sense 3.0 on your MT4G.

I never FULLY realized how bad sense was, but this weekend I played around with a sensation and it is horribly laggy. My cyanogen glacier blows it out of the water. Even things like un locking the phone produced noticeable lag
[myTouch 4G General] fastredponycar:
I rooted and loaded Virtuous Unity last night. It uses sense 3.0 and it's smooth as silk.
[myTouch 4G General] Ace42:
Its not slow like the sensations stock ROM through, it has many changes, if we use the stock sensation Rom it would be laggy.
[myTouch 4G General] joedonh:
I've been testing the Gingerbread update and was going to post some screenshots, but apparently I need to have at least 8 posts before I can do so per the rules of the forums here.

I don't want to spam the forums here to hit some limit, but when I hit the magical 8 posts, I'll submit a post with images of the update.
[myTouch 4G General] eqjunkie829:
So if i were to unroot to check out the update when its released i would have to root a completly different way? I had to gfree cause of the locked bootloader on the mt4g that i bought. Since my phone has the "bad emmc" I was thinking that using stock for a couple months til the phone dies would be a safe gamble.
[myTouch 4G General] dementor123:
What gingerbread update your talking about? We haven't got an ota, just the leak.
[myTouch 4G General] eqjunkie829:
Read the link in the op.
[myTouch 4G General] dementor123:
I know what the thread is about. You may wanna read my question again.

Again, the question is whether joedonh is from tmo and thats how he is testing the upgrade or whether he is working on leaked version which everyone here has access to. Later is most likely not the case but just want to confirm.
[myTouch 4G General] sephia12000:
Some Tmo employees have been selected to test the official GB rom. I imagine it is just as bad as the froyo build. it is still a "stock" rom so i am sure it is full of bloatware...
[myTouch 4G General] kalel33:
If he is an employee with T-mobile then he'd be breaking the NDA that they have to sign when getting phones or updates before the public. It's also against T-mobile policy. I wouldn't take the chance of it getting back to T-mobile and losing my job to show off a screen shot.
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
Does anyone have the zip file for the CRT animation for the new framework? The old one will just revert the framework back to the older version
[Droid X General] sovrce:
When you say "the old one", are you referring to this .zip?

Gingerbread 2.3 CRT Animation .zip
[Droid X General] blubyu87gt:
I loaded the same one that I saved from the previous leak and it only loaded the screen off animation. No other changes were made that I have noticed.
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
Yes that is the one I was talking about haha it's not really old but things move fast. Wouldn't this be similar to flashing a theme? And when you flash an older theme to a new rom, it would revert the rom back to the older version. Wouldn't the same thing happen with this?
[Droid X General] sovrce:
If by "similar to flashing a theme" you mean "instaling a .zip through ClockworkMod Recovery", then yes, it is. The exact same actually.

Download the .zip I posted to the root of your SD card. Boot into CWMR *USING THE DROID 2 BOOTSTRAP APP, NOT THE DROID X BOOTSTRAP APP*, and install the zip from SD card as you would any other theme.
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
No that's not what I'm talking about at all. I was talking about when you flash a theme with older framework to a newer rom. The framework reverts to the older version and you go back to the older version of a rom. That's what I was asking about. Please read the whole thing next time

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suchevent:
is it possible? if so, could you please share how it is done? thanks.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dayze0:
I'd like an answer to this if any one knows.....??
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
It would be quite a bit of work, especially for trial and error to get your best PERSONAL settings.

You would have to extract and decompile the framework-res.apk from the rom of flashable theme you use (to preserve the themes) etc. Manually edit the values / arrays.xml file. Recompile, zipalign, and upload to UOT to make it CWM recovery flashable.zip.

Alternatively,

You could do a full nan-backup and check this guide out, giving you adavnced control in "Spare Parts";

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/289-haptic-feedback-508-full-rom-or-patch/

As the dev says / implies; it may or may not work, do a nan-backup before doing anything. To keep compatabiltity with yor own ROMs framework, you would need to decompile your framework-res.apk, and pull the folders mentioned, replace, recompile into his etc...........

If you have a little time, might be worth a shot, but don't blame me if you mised a step and lose all your themes/mods etc, or boot-loop. Also not sure if the patches are for froyo etc
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LINKSLOVESANDROID:
cm7 has haptic feedback tweaks in cm7 settings
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Not everyone uses that ROM, but as I suggested, possible to modify the framework to work on your own ROM or modify the framework do the patch works for your ROM, not lose your themes etc.

Thanks for sharing the info, appreciated.

Hi evreybody!

I am currently running Bi-Winning V2... before that Simply Honey (2.5, 2.72) and Loki 2.41a... All of them have one thing in common:

The ringer volume, even maxed out, is very low.

I remember, on stock, the volume was LOUD. VERY LOUD.

Could it be that this is related to voodoo?!?

[XPERIA X10 General] LucasBrazil1984:
Hi,

Sorry about the vague/noob question, but it's not my phone, so, please, bear with me.

I'm thinking about buying this phone for my mother and I'd like to know what's the status of development for the X10. Specifically:

1) Are there froyo running custom roms available for this phone? If not, is there any perspective of there being one or an official 2.2 update?

2) Is the official eclair update easy to install?

3) What are, currently, the biggest flaws of the phone and what's the perspective on them being fixed?

Thanks a lot for your help!
[XPERIA X10 General] compumasta:
1. Yes there are froyo roms but they are not official. There will be no 2.2 rom officially but there will be a 2.3.3 rom officially.

2. The official eclair update is pretty darn easy to install just search the development section.

3. The biggest flaw is probably the low incall speaker volume. It may be fixed to a degree but seems to be hardware limited as well.

[XPERIA X10 General] LucasBrazil1984:
If you don't mind a follow up, how stable are the 2.2 custom roms?

Also, since you fine folks have been able to crack the x10 bootloader, wouldn't custom kernels take care of the low incall volume problem?

Thanks a lot, if you need any help regarding the Samsung Captivate, feel free to PM me.
[XPERIA X10 General] Bruce Lee:
Most of them r very stable. I run the one in my signature all day everyday since everything is working well pretty much. If u need help installing one. Take a look at all the guides first then ask us here for help. There r plenty of howtos. I hope this helps.

Sent from XDA Premium from my X10a rooted running 2.2.1 CM Rom from Rendeiro2005
[XPERIA X10 General] compumasta:
As for the call volume it would seem that it could be improved once we get a good kernal going. So far from the reports though, it seems that it can be louder but at the cost of some distortion.

Since its not for you, I would recommend wolfbreaks 2.2 as it is probably the most widely used and supported if you're gonna go 2.2. If 2.1 is sufficient then at least that's se official. And like I said 2.3.3 is coming officially probably around June/July.

[XPERIA X10 General] LucasBrazil1984:
Thanks a lot, everyone.

I actually have some experience flashing custom roms and kernels on my Captivate, so it shouldn't be too steep a learning curve.

So when i went to install update from sd card from my stock recovery it comes up with an error and i saw "my files.apk" in all the letters and i do remember that i had uninstalled it awhile back but my backup got erased so now it wont let me update
[HTC Sensation] faddys123:
I don't know which to get I am tore in between both o the phones. Spec wise the galaxy s 2 wins but HTC sense is far better than touchwiz the only thing would suit me will be sense on the galclaxy s 2 but I have heard that it mite hard to port :-\
[HTC Sensation] Relief2010:
I dont think TW 4.0 is bad. Its far far more better than crappy 3.0

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4d-wWCf4CQ&feature=feedu
[HTC Sensation] kersh:
Spec wise the Galaxy S2 lose.

The new snapdragon looks like more powerfull than tegra 2 / exynos, they give you a screen with more resolution and not using pentile, real rgb not 50% more of amoled plus that is less than real stripe.

a little less ram, but who uses 1gb of ram in a phone?

The only things for what I am going to buy the Galaxy S2, is because in 10 years, HTC has not make a decent camera on a phone and a decent audio quality in par with the iphone or the first galaxy, and this are for me totally killer features. Oh, and the internal phone storage.

In the battle HTC sense vs touchwiz, who cares, at the end most of the people turn off that programs and ends using adw or launcher pro.
[HTC Sensation] Deusdies:
It's a tough one. Up until HTC Sensation was announced, I was settled on SGS II. But now I'm in a dilemma.

However, SGS II has a better screen - lower resolution, but using SAMOLED+ instead of SLCD (and the difference is notable). SGS II also has a better front camera, more internal memory (a LOT more, 16 GB vs 1 GB), larger battery capacity, and it's thinner.

HTC on the other hand has a better camera, higher screen resolution, dual-led flash, and it's also on T-Mobile. It also comes with a 8 GB microSD card.
[HTC Sensation] antianalog:
You nailed it for me. While I'm not really familiar with processors, the EVO 4G has a terrible camera and sound quality. Now I'm considering waiting for a sprint galaxy s2 instead of upgrading to the EVO 3D. I know that both phones will be good, but having the better quality photos and video will make me happy.
[HTC Sensation] sckc23:
Apart from the higher resolution offered on Sensation, i can't see how SGSII loses in terms of spec. Initial benchmarks show Exynos perform much better than the new Snapdragon (which is based on the older A8 cortex) but i guess we juz have to wait till May when comparison can be done on retail units instead of those prototypes.

Can't agree more about the camera on HTC phones though. and thats why i'm getting rid of my Desire soon=)
[HTC Sensation] ignign0kt:
I would have liked to get the Sensation, but I am in an AT&T contract.

Even if I decided to kill the contract and move to T-Mobile, I would be kinda screwed when AT&T acquires TMobile and then the Sensation will not be able to use 3G on AT&T since it does not support the bands.

So between the two I am pretty much forced to get the GS2, or wait and hope the a Sensation build will eventually support AT&T bands, which I will not do...

GS2 looks good enough, but TouchWiz looks awful

edit: ok maybe TW isn't so bad
[HTC Sensation] Kailkti:
I'm not so sure about that part. HTC has never been known to release phones with great cameras. Average at best, but not great. E.g desire hd, Mozart, HD2, desire, HD7. They're all average in their leagues.

Samsung on the other hand does release phones with great camera quality. E.g. Wave, Omnia HD, Pixon 12.

However since they haven't released the phone or shown any sample pictures, guess it's too early to judge.
[HTC Sensation] sckc23:
Thought it was a joke when he said HTC has a better camera..:D

You are probably right about being early to judge Sensation but we're almost certain SGSII is coming with an awesome camera which is confirmed in most previews.
[HTC Sensation] NZtechfreak:
HTC the better camera? Perhaps a #sarcasm tag was needed before that.

In terms of whether the CPU/GPU is better, remains to be seen, there are benchmarks which show each one outperforming the other. Furthermore remains to be seen whether there is any difference in use, even if one is better than the other by a reasonable margin.
[HTC Sensation] blackheart2925:
For me, I don't like the crappy cameras of HTC and their habbit of crippling great phones with underppwered batteries...I love my HD2 but I cannot forgive HTC for putting a 1230 mAh battery which barely manages to last through a working day!
[HTC Sensation] erraz:

[HTC Sensation] faddys123:
well if we had a port of sense on s2 that would be amazing
[HTC Sensation] nikzDHD:
As good as Sense looks it will be very difficult to port Sense over I guess! Certian aspects of sense are great such as the dialler, peoples app and the keyboard is nice as well.
[HTC Sensation] golf2vr6:
I already asked it in the sense thread, but why do people think sense 3.0 is so much better than TouschWiz 4.0?

/me thinks sense 3.0 looks like it is designed by Disney.......
[HTC Sensation] nikzDHD:
Also the poor speakers! My DHD is terrible difficult to hear in noisy conditions for voice calls! Hopefully they can improve on that aspect...
[HTC Sensation] Uchennadi:
Its the SGS2 for me. The screen just looks so awesome, it has awesome specs, and the design is just to die for. The video on the second post really sealed the deal for me tho, cuz I was really torn between it and the sensation. And it really would have been the sensation for me for sure had this phone never been announced, but every time I read or watch videos about this phone, I just want it even more. Ugh, now I can't sleep.... :(
[HTC Sensation] Overlord Yuri:
ugh, same here. This phone is like The One Ring to us, we suck. :p
[HTC Sensation] -A-P-M-:
Where did you get that from ? From what I have seen, Exynos is better than competition, including Snapdragon.
[HTC Sensation] jooboo:
Sg2 ftw
[HTC Sensation] RaspyYeti:
Just remember the A4/A5 chip in the iPhones & iPads are made by Samsung so if Apple thinks that they can make the best chips why get a HTC running last years hardware.
[HTC Sensation] dhruvmalik:
I was expecting a comment like that.

The SGS II takes the cake in all aspects, it also carries the legacy of the previous successor, the SGS I.

People expect a lot for SGS II and I am sure it will deliver.

The only thing in question really is the build quality.
[HTC Sensation] erraz:
I just hope the screen takes up most of space unlike the captivate
[HTC Sensation] MikeyMike01:
They put a 4.3 inch screen in a device that is the same dimensions as the SGS. They reduced the bezel quite a bit.

[HTC Sensation] erraz:
Now thats what I call a near perfect phone
[HTC Sensation] dhruvmalik:
Since the screen display is so dark, you cannot tell where the screen is and the bezel is. Those blacks of the SAMOLED + are so true, they blend together in perfection.

Couldn't of said it better myself:)
[HTC Sensation] faddys123:
i just want the sense experince on the sgs2but it wont happen so i mite have to get a sensation
[HTC Sensation] dhruvmalik:
The UI is as important as the hardware it self, but remember this, the Software can be modified or altered but the hardware cannot be.

Choose the device which you find as the best suited for you, but keep in account the hardware specifications and potential.
[HTC Sensation] Touch_Pete:
I can't wait to own one of these. I have a Galaxy S (SGH-T959D) and I love it. This is just my phone on steroids! Better screen (hard to imagine when I look at mine) twice the memory and twice the CPU in an even thinner package with a bigger battery.
[HTC Sensation] Enthrall:
I wish that were the case, but unfortunately it isn't :/

One of the best 4.3" that has minimal bezel compared to what I've seen, is the Desire HD (I prefer a wider bezel to a lengthier one).

From GSMArena's dimension measurements:

4"

:

Galaxy S: 122.4 x 64.2 x 9.9 mm

4.3"

:

Desire HD: 123 x 68 x 11.8 mm

Galaxy S II: 125.3 x 66.1 x 8.5 mm

Sensation: 126.1 x 65.4 x 11.3 mm

Considering the 'Length x Breadth', I'd say the S II has a slight advantage over the Sensation (from my point of view anyway!). Toss in the 'x Thickness' and woohoo :) (although, some do prefer a thicker phone).

Personally, I prefer the S II's dimensions, only wish the top bezel where the logo's going to be put, wasn't present at all... Oh well, you win some you lose some! :P

Edit: Woops, forgot to include this -

The

surface areas

(if that's also important to you) in sq. mm:

Sensation: 8246.94

Galaxy S II: 8282.33

Desire HD: 8364

Yeah I'm crazy... :D

If you have manly hands and manly muscles, and don't want to look like a silly, get a sensation. It will also p*ss off certain people here in the forum so that is always a plus.

[HTC Sensation] cybermessiah:
Been a fan of htc for ages and loyal to them. But the Samsung outdoes HTC in this battle, for the following reasons...

The Super AMOLED plus screen blows any SLCD out of the water in terms of contrast, color saturation and outdoor readability.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ko6httu38UQ

Far superior sound in the Samsung [the Galaxy S uses Wolfson's WM8994 sound chip].. and Sammy have a deal with Wolfson to continue using their great sound chips in the Galaxy line]... sorry to say but way superior to the Sensations most likely TI audio chip.

Superior Battery 1650mAh as compared to Senations 1520mAh. I am so way over HTC abysmal battery life in higher- end devices.

Sammys 16/32 GB internal storage is what should be the norm now for most handets..... HTC offer a measly 1Gb internal storage... which is my opinion just pitiful!!

The Galaxy S II has almost 25% more ram than the Sensation.

And last and to me the most important... Its most likely that the Galaxy S II wont have a locked bootloader. HTC Sensation most likely will, as it seems the way they are going.

Shame HTC on you..... because flashing different Roms is part of what makes Android such a great system.

I do like HTC Sense a lot, but u know... since I mod and flash roms, I suddenly realise that I dont use any sense launcher at all [Launcher Pro for me]. TouchWiz mightn't be as sweet as Sense, but there's plenty of other great eye-candy apps to dress up ur phone.

Sorry HTC... but ur choice in locking bootloaders really makes me turn to another device.

In the end, the Samsung Galaxy S II offers far superior hardware specs and is wont be locked for the user who wants to mod freely.
[HTC Sensation] moparman:
1gb internal memory in a high-end device..:eek:

No Samoled +

Those 2 things is why i go for SGS2 on hardware side.

And like cybermessiah write

Locked/signed Bootloader is a no go for me.

And i hate the design of HTC Sensation.

But i wouldnt say no to higher res and better build material..
[HTC Sensation] ijat91:
+1, nice conclusion, i agree with you
[HTC Sensation] sianzb0i:
A very wise statement!

However thats in the ideal case. U cant have a Sense UI that is working or as stable is the original sense. I am not complaning...just that i feel samsung made such good hardware but users cant "experience" it

This made me wonder if i ran stock gingerbread wif launcherpro would it be faster (and nicer)?
[HTC Sensation] dhruvmalik:
I am no expert but I would like to believe the "experience" would be different. There should be noticeable differences in speed as well, but you will lose the added features of TouchWiz such as the Motion Controls.

I think if you give it some time to mature, you should find roms that are the best of the both worlds. Samsung's features with a clean / fast rom.
