Battery calibration is very easy. Just search for the "battery calibration" app in the android market. Download and install it, and it should have the instructions you need to follow in order to calibrate you battery.

Basically after flashing a new ROM you have to remove the old batterystats file left by the old ROM in order to re-calibrate you battery. By doing this your making sure your battery is calibrated to work with the new ROM and not the old one. :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CMoney87:
There is a manual method for battery calibration that can be found in another thread but basically its this:

Charge phone to 100%

Reboot into XRecovery and wipe battery stats

Press reboot, as soon as it turns off take out your battery

Leave the phone plugged in and replace the battery

If the phone doesnt reboot automatically, turn it on

It should read 88%, now charge back to 100%

Repeat this process until it reads 100% on reboot

[HTC Excalibur] davidvpe:
Hi everybody, maybe anyone knows me, this is my first post anyway, I have been here for about 2 years, since I bought my HTC S621 "Excalibur". It has been 2 comfortable years with my best friend Excalibur...but It's time to say goodbye, because his battery don't work like before... It just lives 1 hour and then I have to connect it... so, i was looking for a new HTC cellphone, and I will buy a HTC Tattoo :D I'm so happy, but i have a few problems...

One of them is, my contacts, OMG! when I turned on my cellphone today and connected it to the PC, the traditional sound that appears when a USB is connected changed for other so strange o_o ... and never recognise it... I took a backup of my contacts with the Sim Manager that comes with ROM that I downloaded from here, so I want to know if there is anyway to restore my contacts to the outlook with that file *.dcb that the Sim Manager generates for me.

I really don't want to restore it one by one ToT so please, there should be a solution for this problem ToT... Thanks in advance...
[HTC Excalibur] Mr. Clown:
Hi, great device the excalibur I still used it since I bought a new battery. I can't let go my precious excalibur. Regarding the contact backup, just do a quick search and you will find tutorials and many other things related. On that note, thread closed.
[Captivate General] Jay_eS_Iye:
Ok editing original post, here was the initial issue:

I was planning on going to MIUI and had some issues going from Torch to it (wouldn't boot past CWM), so I went back to stock, used odin to flash the speedmod kernel, and tried 3-button into CWM but then remembered my Captivate is one of the unlucky ones without the 3-button and when I went back to stock it removed my 3-button fix. So now it's sitting at the speedmod Galaxy S picture and won't boot past that. I can't get into recovery and it won't go into download mode with volume up and down then plug in the USB. Figuring I may have to make a jig, but does anyone else have any fixes?

Now for the update:

I made a jig but when I do it, it just boots the phone and doesn't go into download mode. Any ideas as to why? I followed the directions found here:

[Captivate General] TRusselo:
yeah if its not putting your phone into download mode,

you have the wrong resistance. (total amount of resistor value).

it has to be exact -/+ 5% ish

there are a couple dozen combinations that do different things.

also dont hold your homemade jig with bare fingers, use some tape to hold the pins, so your fingers dont create a parralell path and change the resistance.,
[Captivate General] Jay_eS_Iye:
looks like I just didn't try it enough times... go figure. thanks
[Captivate General] modest_mandroid:
Make sure you aren't touching the resistors with your finger, or you'll change the overall resistance.

[Fascinate General] gubiguy:
Hey guys,

I have tried MANY browsers, and I have to say that the stock browser is the most reliable and stable on the fascinate.

Here's what I've experienced from other browsers:

Firefox: choppy scrolling, poor image loading

Opera: loads all pages in mobile view, cuts out certain page aspects.

Dolphin: takes very long on 3G

xScope: also takes very long on 3G

Miren: lacks copying capability

Skyfire: interface is too crowded.

Netfront: yahoo is only search engine, WTF.

Maxthon: very buggy at the moment

I run the stock browser from the community rom. It works great, loading pages in a timely fashion with all of the proper features on the page.

So is it just me or does this thing rock? Discuss.
[Fascinate General] superchunkwii:
I've always felt the stock browser is the best. Only reason I have Dolphin HD installed, is when I need to force the page to be desktop view as I have that set to be that view 100% of time.
[Fascinate General] Dizfunky:
I agree. I've tried several different browsers and the stock browser has given me the least amount of problems.
[Fascinate General] ashleygreene:
i always seem to fall back on the stock browser.

i used Dolphin for a bit and it wasn't terrible but it wasn't quite as fast to just look up a random question and be done in 45 seconds either. i tried Skyfire a few days ago and it wasn't for me. Firefox was disappointing overall.

i have been thinking about trying out some different browsers lately but i cant complain about the stock browser at the same time.
[Fascinate General] gubiguy:
That makes me wonder though... what is with all this hype about the other browsers? Does anyone notice that maybe our stock browser is much better than the stock browser of other phones? That seems to me like it's the only explanation..
[Fascinate General] agsded:
Well, if you examine it from the desktop side, Chrome is faster and cleaner than any other browsers I've tried. Stands to reason the android browser would be same, as its likely built on much of the same code.

Materialized into existence through the act of observation.
[Fascinate General] KitsuneKnight:
Other than both being based on WebKit (Opera and Firefox being the only two for Android that /aren't/ using WebKit, AFAIK), there isn't a whole lot of similarity between the two.
[Fascinate General] sageDieu:
I would use it if it would let me not have a default browser. When clicking on some links I like to use different browsers for different things, so I don't have a default. That way it will let me choose every time. The stock browser forces me to choose every time it loads a page, usually multiple times per page because it will redirect and things. Like instead of just loading the page it brings up the choose browser popup, and if I tell it to be default it makes itself the default browser for everything, disabling my ability to choose other browsers. So yeah.

[Fascinate General] Whitepaint:
If your only beef with Opera is it loads everthing in Mobile veiw, a quick Google search will tell you how to fix that problem. :)

Go to "opera:config" in the address bar. go to user agent. Put "Opera/9.80 (linux;en) Prest/2.7.8.1 Version/ 11.00" Or any other user agent you would like.
[Fascinate General] andrew1263:
The stock browser is really nice, but I don't like how it always runs in the background taking up 30 mb of memory since there is no feature, that I know of, to close it within the browser (unless you press the back button 100 times). Dolphin HD has an option to close the browser after using it. If the stock browser had this option it would be the #1 browser for sure.

Just my 2 cents.
[Fascinate General] KitsuneKnight:
That's not really a problem, since Android will automatically close it when it needs that space for another app (that's one of the fundamental components of an app's life cycle on Android). If the phone doesn't need that extra space for another application (say, you shut the screen down and it's sleeping), it won't impact battery life.

I've heard some people claim that empty RAM will be 'powered down'... but in practice I doubt that'll happen even if true: your phone's physical memory will become fragmented over time, resulting in usage spread across physical RAM (both from apps and from the Linux kernel). And it's not like RAM uses all that much energy anyways- if you're looking to optimize battery life and you're looking at RAM, you might wanna rethink your strategy...
[Fascinate General] sneakysolidbake:
Opera mobile with a desktop useragent is the best I've used yet.

[Fascinate General] quarky42:
Dolphin HD is by far the best I have used. With that being said, the stock browser is the second best.

I use both the stock and Dolphin HD extensively. I like Opera, Skyfire, and Firefox, but after having used them for a while I still go back to Dolphin HD and Stock.
[Fascinate General] s44:
Stock is the only one with GPU acceleration, hence the speed.

Unfortunately, its handling of tabs, zooming, etc. leaves much to be desired. Dolphin HD is fast enough.
[Fascinate General] Scrappy1:
Do you guys have smooth scrolling with stock browser on 2.2 ROMS? I see a big step backwards from 2.1, and assume its from loss of GPU acceleration.
[Fascinate General] gubiguy:
It's usually pretty smooth. However, there are times when it can get very choppy; usually when loading pages with lots of images and such. Come to think of it, 2.2 itself can become very choppy at times: something I never noticed on stock 2.1.
[Fascinate General] Scrappy1:
I find 2.2 browser scrolling choppy even on simple mobile pages. Good example is mobile ver of news.Google.com. When I test same site on my friends Vibrant or Captivate with 2.2, its silky smooth. Somehow Fascinate code branch lost some goodness, perhaps GPU acceleration. I blame the unholy MS Bing integration keeping Fascinate separate.
[Fascinate General] s44:
Actually, it may have been 2.2->2.2.1. I remember one of those had GPU acceleration on Samsung and the other didn't. Since the Vibrant and Captivate are still (officially) on 2.2, I guess it's the former.

Wonder if you could swap the apks.
[Fascinate General] ezas:
I always come back to stock because I use apps for almost everything. XDA Premium and Tapatalk for forums. Wapedia for wikipedia. News apps for news, my banks own App, etc.

On the phone I'm doing simple web searches. Real research needing multiple tabs, extensions, etc happen on the computer.

Of the 'other' browsers I have spent the most time with Dolphin Mini and I don't see any speed improvement, if anything my impression is that stock is slightly faster.

Simple needs = simple browser.
[Fascinate General] Scrappy1:
That's what I thought too. However, my coworkers Galaxy S 4G, (t-mobile) has 2.2.1, and its browser is very smooth also. So now I'm starting to wonder if CDMA has its own branch without GPU accelerate. Anyone tested an Epic 4G browser?
[Fascinate General] Whitepaint:
Im pretty sure opera mobile has gpu acceleration. It is at least 2x as smooth scrolling, panning, and pinch zooming as the stock browser.
[Fascinate General] Scrappy1:
Yup, that is the case. It is quite smooth. However I usually leave the bottom nav bar off, and its a couple too many clicks to get to bookmarks.
[Fascinate General] adrynalyne:
2.1 did not have any gpu acceleration on browser. 2.2.1 for Samsung has gpu acceleration, but only for zoom. I had explained why it was smoother in eclair, but was apparently ignored.

Eclair did not use AA while scrolling. Froyo does.

Eclair did not have real flash. Froyo does.

Eclair lowered quality of images while scrolling. Froyo does not.

These are the reasons for the performance difference. If you don't believe me, decompile the eclair browser and Froyo browser and see for yourself.
[Fascinate General] Scrappy1:
That's nice and everything, but the Vibrant and Captivate on 2.2 scroll smooth as silk. I've tested side by side many times. I invite everyone in here to test for themselves. Therefore, adrys answer is only half the story.
[Fascinate General] gubiguy:
Interesting... Currently, I'm trying out that suggested user agent flipflop in Opera, and I'm beginning to realize that the main reason for its speed was *BECAUSE* it loaded many pages in a primitive mobile view. Now that the user agent is changed, it loads it in speeds very comparable to the stock browser.

If the stock browser had tabs, I would probably not even question it. How's that for a new project idea, Adrynalyne? :) (just kidding... unless you really want to)
[Fascinate General] adrynalyne:
Guess what?

Mine is just as smooth as the Vibrant.

In fact, my cousin, who owns the Vibrant was jealous because his was not rooted, and mine had voodoo and was smoother everywhere, including the web.

So, don't speak in absolutes, because there is no such thing.
[Fascinate General] limbonik:
Bold for emphasis on your main problem. It's called YMMV.

z0mg my sisters dog's fascinates overclocks to 1600mhz but my fascinates crashes! My fascinates should be just as overclockables!1! >.>

[Fascinate General] gfosco:
To me this is more about privacy and security than RAM space. When I'm done searching something, I want the ability to close all of it out easily.
[Fascinate General] Scrappy1:
My comparison is for stock ROMS, stock browser. I've tested multiple phones of each, so all I do is invite others to to the same. Fascinate browser is definately, absolutely, worse.
[Fascinate General] keith.mcintyre26:
I have used Miren since it was in the market and I'm its biggest fan. In fact, coming from an Incredible to this phone, no matter what ROM I'm on, the stock browser is among the /system apps I delete. Here's a decent review/overview. http://androidspin.com/2011/01/13/app-review-miren-browser-the-way-a-browser-should-work/
[Fascinate General] adrynalyne:
So with all the bloated garbage that Verizon has Samsung put on the phones, its worse? Compared to competing carriers that put MUCH less garbage on the device?

Gotcha. Seems a fair comparison I guess. Of course it has nothing to do with BROWSERS.
[Fascinate General] Scrappy1:
When I tested superclean 2.9.2 the browser was no different in terms of scrolling performance. The bloat that Verizon adds takes the form of wasted flash / data space and idle background services. To claim this is stealing clock cycles from browser scrolling is ludicrous. I thought you were a dev? Your comments don't sound like it.
[Fascinate General] adrynalyne:
Down to insulting me now? Good one. Now allow me to completely invalidate your claims.

First I said, browsing was as good on my SF, if not better than my cousin's stock Vibrant. You defended your position by saying that you were comparing stock vs. stock. Now you are saying that its better stock on the vibrant vs. superclean and decided to throw out some personal attacks.

I love the smell of bull**** in the morning. You cant even stop contradicting yourself.

As for the cpu cycle comment, its ludicrous you make such claims without checking the CPU usage at idle on stock vs. non.
[Fascinate General] gubiguy:
Play nice now..
[Fascinate General] Scrappy1:
I stand behind all comments I've posted. I invite curious individuals to do the browser comparisons for themselves.

Not sure why adry has attacked these posts so much. He does seem angry and rude quite often.
[Fascinate General] adrynalyne:
The person who insulted me thinks I am rude?

LOL.
[Fascinate General] gfosco:
Your comments tell me that you are a douchebag.
[Fascinate General] chefthomas99:
He plays Angry Birds. Watch out.
[Fascinate General] gubiguy:
OP here: CHILL.
[Fascinate General] Protonus:
XScope is all around the fastest/best browser out of the ones in the list that I've tried. Plays great with flash. I use Skyfire as my backup, odd that you think the interface is cluttered as it's one of the nicer/simpler ones around. Definitely feels less cluttered than firefox, opera, or dolphin to me.

As for your comments about browsing on 3G, I almost never use 3G. Everywhere has Wifi now. 3G is painfully slow anyways. 3G speeds have been getting worse around here since Verizon brought up the 4G network last year. I used to average double what I get now at any given signal strength.
[Fascinate General] bobloblaw1:
Christ.

At stock the verizon/samsung DRM services alone consume a nice chunk of CPU not even considering the rest.....

Aside from that....well what was the point of the thread....ohh umm...right.

Well, I prefer Opera Mobile but different strokes for different folks. We have choices. And choices are good. If we didn't have choices we'd be on iphone or Internet Explorer or something.
[Fascinate General] jpx213:
I've shifted over to Dolphin Browser Mini. It's really simple and stable, doesn't have any of the fancy jazz as the Dolphin Browser HD, but it still has tabs and the basic features of Dolphin Browser HD. I would highly recommend it for people looking for a simple and stable browser.
[Fascinate General] soba49:
The thing that keeps bringing me back to dolphin is the way it handles rearranging the page flow when I zoom in on text. Nothing handles it better. I prefer that to switching to landscape or scrolling constantly. The save to pdf plugin is pretty nifty too.

Firefox is cool but needs too much initial load time. Opera is almost perfect but I always run into some glitch eventually.

I will say stock browser is really zippy though and fast for google searches from home screen. Modifying default text size and zoom makes it ideal for a lot of my grossing and I just switch as needed.
[Fascinate General] k0nane:
Why yes, it does kick ass. ;)

Adrynalyne links to my thread, but it's actually untermensch's file.

Do you guys get the same Save Image FC that my users do? I suspect so - if you do, watch for version 1.1.1 of my ROM, which should have a fix.

EDIT: It seems you do.
[Fascinate General] gubiguy:
To be honest, I think my *only* complaint about the stock browser is the lack of tabs. I don't know if that would hinder functionality or not, but it would make it even better if some dev decided to play around a little ;)

Okay folks - here is release #1 - I will continue to work a few bugs out of this for the next release but this will get you going at least through the weekend. If there's enough interest in it I might start a new thread for this later on.

This theme was originally started by The Bowers over in the Droid forums and kinda left for dead until it was asked to be revived by crstfr. To complete it, I took some images from Sonny Sekhon's Tangerine theme to give it the orange hunting look. I take no credit for this... I just picked up where The Bower's left off. There is still a slight resizing issue with the app widget and is being worked on now and should be fixed for the second release. I have updated all of the themed apps to their curent versions as well. Since crstfr requested the theme - I took on the name that he suggested for it... so here is Redneck Rampage!

Redneck_Rampage_RLS1.zip - This is based of cm7 nightly #57 so it should be compatible with cm7 7.0.2.1 and the latest Deck Rom as well over at ppcgeeks. As always - nandroid first and wipe cache and davlik cache at a minimum - full wipe is preferred.

- thanks to crstfr for the wallpaper
