[Milestone 2 General] waigx:
Yes, I really said that in another post :). I don't know whether it's true, because these news both came from some websites.

I'm sorry if these make you confused, but I just want to bring some news here :) .
[Milestone 2 General] WongJames:
I also saw this news before :(

The manager of moto of asia pacific region (hong kong, tai wan etc) said there will NOT be 2.3 update of milestone2.

However, moto in China have a different manager, and their ROM build is different from us(hong kong), so it still could be true that a 2.3 might release in China. If it is real, are our great developers able to use that 2.3 kernal to build their ROM? :)
[Milestone 2 General] agent008my:
im not sure how true that post is, but if it is true, it is good news then:) i suppose like for all motorola android phone owners, its a waiting game more than anything else.

just on a seperate note, i looked through the official motorola software upgrade website, and there has been nothing stated for an upcoming update on the milestone 2 (no matter which region). i have been checking this website regularly and nothing so far :(

https://supportforums.motorola.com/community/manager/softwareupgrades
[Milestone 2 General] chris0202:
I doubt the message refers to me722 (retail model in china), since this message appeared in a domestic forum in china. ME722 has its own version of android os, specially customized to adjust local market. However, that version is a little different from other versions. Touch screen is less sensitive and some apps installed requested by carriers. Although me722 can use firmware from other parts of the world, language may course problem.

I have read the original post. The new came from a person who claimed to have some inside information from a motorola employee. I doubt he referred to an employee in china branch.

So, it's hard to say whether there would be an update for global users.

Personally, I hope my concerns are all mistaken, since I'm also expecting an update from motorola. I'm currently running UK firmware, quite satisfied.
[Milestone 2 General] agent008my:
yet again as i stated, there is no announcement of any update on the official motorola software upgrade website. if what this person with insider information says is true, what i feel is on May 16th, Motorola would officially announce a scheduled date for an update release. i highly doubt that they would push for an update without announcing the launch of the update first :)
[Milestone 2 General] chris0202:
yeah, i think you're right.

PS. Then i would try out agent2stone, hope there would be little bugs.
[Milestone 2 General] waigx:
Your opinion is quite reasonable, but consider the Droid X's OTA upgrade to Android 2.3.3, it's still possible that MS2 will got a update without official announcements ;).

However, the original post's credibility is still worth discussing.
[Milestone 2 General] waigx:
I'm using UK firmware too, ME722's ROM is quite terrible : Less sensitive of touch screen, No google service (even the Android Market and Gmail), Lots of rubbish, Different baseband ...

After all it still a good news isn't it? Because Milestone 2's hardwares of different retail version are exactly the same ( except the baseband which can be switched easily ), moto dev teams in other region can release updates very soon. And, we can also modify Chinese ROM just like agent2stone.:)

But I still don't know whether original post is true.:confused:
[Milestone 2 General] waigx:
I really hope it's true, after 2.3 kernel rom of Milestone2 released in P.R.China, it much easier for our developers to port this to a global version .
[Milestone 2 General] agent008my:
im afraid i didnt know that the droid X was upgraded to gingerbread. however, i did note 2 articles claiming rather contrasting pieces of news:

1. apparently the droid PRO is getting a software update. however its not to 2.3.x as most people anticipated. instead its a bugfix for the current 2.2 its on. so most likely it'll be some version of 2.2.x

REF: http://technewsperk.com/featured/motorola-droid-pro-software-update-available-now/

2. on the other hand, apparently Atrix customers are getting emails to beta test a software upgrade for their phone. however, apparently one customer got not one but 2 updates. im not too sure about the details of these updates as yet

REF: http://phandroid.com/2011/04/20/mot...atrix-4g-owners-to-test-new-software-upgrade/

considering the milestone 2 is no where near as popular as the flagship Atrix or droid X, i think that these flagships would be rewarded with some form of 2.3.x first before other Droids receive the gingerbread update. in the mean time, unfortunately im forced to think that the A953, and all global derivatives of it would be forced into the same fate as the Droid Pro for the time being- that is receiving a bug fix update (2.2.x) before the release of a 2.3.x can be made possible :(

EDIT- UPDATE:

i happened to notice these articles around, apparently announcing some form of a droid 2 update featuring gingerbread (2.3.x). Do check it out:

1. http://phandroid.com/2011/03/28/mot...gerbread-2-3-3-roms-leak-how-to-install-them/

2. http://phandroid.com/2011/02/22/mystery-droid-2-update-floating-around/

3. http://phandroid.com/2011/03/29/the...eaked-gingerbread-for-motorola-droid-x-and-2/

hope somebody could shed some light on the authenticity of these articles...cheers
[Milestone 2 General] DeadSix17:
Old news, that GB leak is out since almost 2 weeks... and the other "mistery update" since a month or something..
[Milestone 2 General] agent008my:
oh alright. thanks for the feedback :)
[Milestone 2 General] DeadSix17:
I'm more interested about Motorola right now, lets see what they planed, boost the sells of Atrix by saying "we will unlock our devices"?.. but thats offtopic lol.. to the topic.. well china .. i dont think that their 2.3 would be a big use for us.. but maybe the kernel? :o.. wouldnt we get the Kernel to work on our phones since its signed and throw a EU/US 2.3 on it? .. i mean it would be a Kernel.. wich works for And2.3.. so idk if that would be any help ..
[Milestone 2 General] agent008my:
it is quite highly unlikely though that they release an update for China and leave the other countries out. This phone is rather popular in Malaysia, Singapore, India, USA and Brazil from what i know. Perhaps a global update of some sort is in the pipeline...its just that the news of an update in China was leaked?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Bisis:
Hi all,

I use a lot hotspot feature but with every rom I saw connectivity goes down (not wifi connection but umts traffic) after a while the screen is gone off.

To get it starts again I have to switch on the screen (without touching anything else).

Why this happens??

Is this due to kernel fault or setting? Or is it due to rom?

I removed all power management options about wifi/umts automatic switch off when not used.

Thanks
[Defy General] ABC_Universal:
According to a user of ITFunz, MIUI developer/forum adminator AC.milan revealed in a chat that they are already porting MIUI for defy. If things go smoothly, initial version may be released before month end. :D
[Defy General] stewi21:
wow! sounds awesome! thanks for info (:
[Defy General] maxi2mc:
Month end is just a couple of days from now, so this is good news. More developers working on Defy versions would mean greater quality from all custom roms (because fixes for some problems there are with 2.3 can be ported from one place to another).

This means that 2init was the best thing until now.
[Defy General] ephumuris:
I'd love to see a stock aosp gingerbread build proted to our device. 2.3.4 would be a treat :)

[Defy General] Deonix:
Nice addition

I looked on MIUI.com. Nice addition indeed. Very similar in USE UI as the iPhone. You can find good detailed UI videos on youtube. So who likes the iPhone iOS with a taste of "Droidity" should use it . Looks well optimized on the Nexus S for ex. I was skeptic at first about buying a Defy and it's place here on XDA but now we should be more than OK .

I think CM7 cuts it for my needs but MIUI is more than good to give it a try o couple of days.
[Galaxy S II General] fenomeno83:
Hello guys.

Watching some new video recorded by gs2, i've seen that audio sampling rate is 16khz!!!!! I don't understand this choise by samsung (in every its phone, make very good video with poor audio!!!). Many years ago, nokia devices captured audio at better quality!So, now gs2 recordes fantastic 1080p video with high bitrate e framerate, but why use a poor audio?16khz can be good in common situation, but you'll never record a video with this audio quality (an old n95)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-m0hkE1e2Z8

In first gs2 videos that I watched, sampling rate was 44100hz, why now 16000hz?

Can be solved in future, by modding?

thanks
[Galaxy S II General] steve228uk:
It's not quite 44000khz but this is what VLC is telling me for the clips I've recorded on the highest settings.
[Galaxy S II General] fenomeno83:

[Galaxy S II General] fenomeno83:
16khz is BAD if you want record sound as in a concert!

So, can you try an alternative way, using RecorderNow and set media_profiles.xml (need root), on which set 44100hz for 1080p videos in encoder profile high?

Similar to this:

<MediaSettings>

<!-- Each camcorder profile defines a set of predefined configuration parameters -->

<CamcorderProfiles>

<EncoderProfile quality="high" fileFormat="mp4" duration="30">

<Video codec="h264"

bitRate="18000000"

width="1920"

height="1080"

frameRate="30" />

<Audio codec="aac"

bitRate="128000"

sampleRate="44100"

channels="2" />

</EncoderProfile>

<EncoderProfile quality="low" fileFormat="3gp" duration="30">

<Video codec="h264"

bitRate="384000"

width="176"

height="144"

frameRate="30" />

<Audio codec="amrnb"

bitRate="12200"

sampleRate="8000"

channels="1" />

</EncoderProfile>

<ImageEncoding quality="100" />

<ImageEncoding quality="100" />

<ImageEncoding quality="100" />

<ImageDecoding memCap="20000000" />

IN recordnow choose "high quality"

SO, if you want change only samplerate to 44100 in EncoderProfile quality="high"
[Galaxy S II General] NoOneCanHelpMe:
hey guys, does this actually work? I would love to have a good sound. for example: iphone 4 (44KHz) or xperia arc (48KHz) :P 16khz is too bad
[Galaxy S II General] DrSlump76:
Hi guys, so, is there any way to enable stereo recordi at high sampling rate during video recording?

The lack of digital zoom plus this strange audio limitation, let me to think that the sgs2 is not so powerfull as they want to tell us, what do you think about?

[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Go check this thread out " The best rom ever" the name says it all. :D
[HD2 General] Hamsn:
All ROMs are cooked with different tastes. Some like performance and some like the battery. So its up to you to decide, by trying them and knowing which one is good for your use and applications. There are both Sense and Stock builds.

All the best.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
You must have not clicked on the link I posted. What you posted is why I posted the link it is no best ROM.
[HD2 General] johnerz:
I recommend the rom in my sig, fast, stable, no major issues and very good support.

As has been said above it is horses for courses :)
[Adam Themes and Apps] simno84:
So, its pretty well known for other android devices but I have not seen it mentioned for Adam...

I highly recommend a LCD Density change if your using a ***rooted*** rom.

You can try it out for free by getting the app "LCDDensity for Root". For the Adam I set the lcd density to 120, anything lower and its to small. This is using VEGAn. (best rom so far by the way)

if you like what you see you can pay for and download "LCD Density Changer" that will allow you to make it permanent. (note if you reflash the rom it will be removed).

If your poor and dont feel like paying, you have more options, all you need to do is add:

ro.sf.lcd_density=120

at the beginning of the file:

/system/build.prop

and restart your adam. feel free to google instructions, there are plenty of ways to do it already mentioned on xda.

*Note, not all the NI apps will fit to the screen, but for the majority of apps (every other app I have used) it works fine.

**like I said test it first with the first app mentioned, its FREE!

BTW.... First post, 9 more to go till dev.. (Ubuntu GO!)
[Adam Themes and Apps] chumba8:
i never thought about using this on my adam i have it on my evo hmmm ill give it shot thanks !!!! oh btw you using LCD or PQi I have the PQi screen 3g

download the full ROM GRI40(see link above), put it on your SD, reboot recovery, NANDroid Backup, full wipe/factory reset, flash the GRI40 update from your sd, reboot phone.

edit: this works on ever Nexus S. GRI40 runs on AMOLED and SLCD so you can even use this way to downgrade

Hi All,

Ive got the Xperia Arc launcher working on my SGS II, but i need someone to have a look at the launcher bar at the bottom. The problem ive got is the four folders are to far down and hide/distort the title - and to be honest i really would like to center them more on the bar

APK attached if anyone wants to have a go.

S
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dh2311:
I have an arc and an SGS II, and the reason for it being off will be because the screen res is different. The arc is 480 x 854 and the SGS II is 480 x 800.

The arc is 16:9 whereas the SGS II is 16:10

The whole apk will need editing, and tbh, I hate the sony launcher. Im using ADW 2.

Ill take a look though, could be easy :)

Yes I agree. The Arc launcher is ugly. There is a thread on xda with a modded version running at 480x800.

[Android Software Development] jazacoop:
With the release of Honeycomb, a stack of tablets are coming onto the market; some of which have a USB Host port. This creates a range of possible new uses for these tablets (one of which is the ability to copy photos off an SD card and onto the tablet).

Here's the scenario. You're going away and just want to take your tablet with you. You plan on taking lots of photos with your camera and want to be able to offload them onto your tablet in order to free up space on your SD card. Using the USB port, you can connect the card to the tablet (using a card reader or something similiar) but there is not an app out there capable of allowing you to easily transfer these photos onto the tablet.

I've tried using astro and it is far more complicated than it needs to be.

I'd love to see an app that can recognise the DCIM directory on an SD card, allow you to select which photos you want to copy, and ask you where on the tablet to save them. A simple, yet extremely powerful app!

Anyone interested in developing it?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] el_commandante:
Hi guys!

I am sorry if this has already been answered somewhere, but I searched pretty thoroughly and I couldn't find a solution :(

I am trying to S-OFF an HTC Desire for a friend of mine and install CyanogenMod using this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1016084.

We rooted the phone without any issues, but before going through Alpharev I decided to make a nandroid backup through the phone's original recovery image (just as advised on Alpharev's site: "We try to leave the current ROM and datastructures completely intact. It is, however, advised to ALWAYS nandroid backup your phone before you run this procedure.

You will then always have a correct/current backup to fall back on in case something breaks."). So I just went into the Backup and Recovery menu and I chose backup.

Unfortunately after backing up, the phone went into a boot loop. We tried taking-out the battery and even doing a hard reset but nothing helped. Eventually we flashed the original RUU from O2 (it's an O2 Germany phone) and this fixed the issue.

I am a bit concerned since I wasn't able to find anyone who had the same problem and it is a bit weird that the phone should go into a boot loop without even installing another ROM or anything - just trying to do a backup of the stock ROM. I am thus a bit hesitant to go on with the S-OFF...

Any help would be deeply appreciated!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moscow Desire:
Well, first of all, you don't need to be S-Off to install CyanogenMod7. Only root. Usually, people do S-Off so they can change the Boot Splash image.

Make a Gold Card for your SD. Some Desire's need it, some don't. Better safe than sorry.

Secondly, after root, I would goto the market and install ROM Manager. Then flash to the latest Clockwork Recovery.

Then,I would make sure I have a recent Recovery image (NandBackup)

Download Gapps.zip to the root of the SD.

Download the CyanogenMod7 to the root of the SD, boot phone to recovery, Wipe cache memory, also goto Advanced and wipe the Delvik memory.

Then Install from SD, do the CM7, then after it finishes, Select Install from SD again, and install the Gapps.zip

Why your backup failed, who knows. I suppose you were using Unrevoked?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] el_commandante:
Thanks! Do you know why the boot loop could happen?
