[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] jtadak:
Hey, I have not found a thread here on apk themes so I thought I would suggest one. I know there's themes on the market but I'm burnt on them and always looking for new ones! I know themes are posted here but I thought it would be nice to have the apk themes in one thread! I hate flashing now because you sometimes have to be rom specific whereas apks pretty much work with any cm7. Anybody that want to post links or downloads to apk themes will be much appreciated!
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] charliehustl415:
Check the General Android forum, there's a sticky with all the apk themes for cm7 theme chooser.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] jtadak:
Ok, thank you. But when I downloaded most all of the themes they either don't work at all or are missing something. Is it my rom?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] cjward23:
Stupid question but after downloading and installing you are opening the theme chooser app?

If you are and when selecting the theme you get an error message saying this theme is missing assets for your screen size, ignore it and hit ok, then reboot your phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] breezy169:
I keep looking around for that page with the themes but I can't find it . Can you guys post the linkk real quick

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhishek7:
Hi Peeps,

I am a newbie to this android Market with my Desire HD 2.2 , I have a lot of questions.

1) I was browsing Themes in the other section and was unable to install themes , how to install them , which softwares do i need to install them?

2) I keep reading about all these ROMS what are these ROMS and how do i choose the best for me?

Thanks in Advance!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
None. Depends on the ROM. Most can be downloaded and selected from settings either from Market or from the ROM's own setting options. The thread for the specific ROM will have all the info you need about themes.

They are alternative (customised) software (put simply).

By trying them. Period.
[HTC 7 Pro] nebc100:
Hello All,

I want to unbrand my 7 Pro so that I can install a standard 7 Pro Rom rather than the O2 Version.

I have read that all HTC devices can be unbranded using a goldcard.

Is this possible with the 7 Pro?

Can anyone help me?

Thanks

I know it says 8gb, but can someone tell me exactally how much internal sd card space there is and how much space for apps /data. Thanks this is important so please answer if ur sure ;)
[Milestone 2 General] dangpzanco:
It's 8Gb for apps/system/rom and comes with a 8Gb sdcard for music/photos/videos/your stuff, so -----> 8Gb + 8Gb. There's no need for app2sd in this phone.

Sent from my Milestone 2 XDA App
[Milestone 2 General] markryan44:
Ite thanks mate but i dont mean to be annoying but can yiu say exactaly how much available space there is for apps e.g 1.1gigs & 6.5gigs internal sd, sorry :/
[Milestone 2 General] patton82:
approximately 6,3 Gb free

all this space is for apps and system and cannot be used for the stuff

(indeed there is a trick for root users that want to use internal storage for user data, here)

Big NOTE: If you ever want to run a Custom Firmware (Like not using Motorolas Default Android) .. or want to update by urself (For example Run Android 2.3 before Motorola updates it (they are really slow)) then you should not get this fone.. this point annoys many people.. so just note that.. since i would never buy a Motorola phone again.
[Milestone 2 General] MegaBubbletea:
Only reason why I got this phone was because of the QWERTY keyboard. THe HTC Desire Z wasn't out yet and I wasn't too sure of the 'Z' hinge build quality. Also, not X10 Mini Pro cos that is just too damn small. But I am patient, unlike DeadSix17 which already wants to get rid of his phone.
[Milestone 2 General] markryan44:
My main things are texting,gaming & videos keyboard is great for texting whats gaming like? Heard theres multitouch issues & 3.7 i fine and has really good pixels ;)
[Milestone 2 General] oTToToTenTanz:
multitouch issues...maybe. But this is a fine device for your needs. Run a ps1 emulator and gaming will be like on a playstation. Texting is splendid and videos is very nice indeed. A really great phone with no support and a big lock on its door.
[Milestone 2 General] crazyteknohed:
I've been well impressed with this phone, locked bootloader or not. Shame about the multitouch issue during gaming... hopefully it will get fixed in a later update. It doesn't make gaming impossible - i've managed to complete NOVA without any problems - just a bit frustrating at times.

Still, the best games to play are emulated stuff like SNES and PSX and these run like a charm, especially with a game gripper (google it!)
[Milestone 2 General] markryan44:
How bad is the multitouch then? I plan to play gameloft games and worry if they wont play well, also whats the neocore score like ive googled it but only comes up with mm1.

[General Questions and Answers] chinniwhites:
I am a c++ programmer by trade who is just now looking into android phones not only for communication but also for development. I picked up the Samsung Galaxy from Boost Mobile in order to first learn how to root, flash ROMs, and then get into dev.

My first goal is to root the phone so i can use it as a wifi hotspot. I first tried to download quick settings to see if i could get the wifi hopspot that way. I can see the hidden option for wifi hotspot but everytime I press it to turn it on, the phone disables the wifi totally. I then tried z4root, not root. I tried gingerbreak and it did not work. I would try to use superoneclick but cannot find usb drivers that will work with the galaxy prevail while its in usb debugging mode.

Any advice on how to get this phone rooted would great. Can you also list the prevail as one of the device supported on this site to spur development?

[General Questions and Answers] waarlok:
Same experience here, z4root required phone reboot as it kept setting off the vibrate function (permanent root) and eventually locked up the phone. z4root temporary root didn't work either. SuperOneClick failed as well with both exploits and locked up on Windows 7 x64 while running exploits. Can't find any information on Google. However, I am a 4th year Software Engineering student and would be willing to work with others to find a fix.

The Samsung Galaxy Prevail is a pretty cool little phone for the money and worth the exploitation effort. For those interested in working on this issue with me know that I am both a Windows (7 x64) and Linux (Slackware x64) user with a Java programming background. Look me up (email) on my profile.
[General Questions and Answers] kolosus:
From what I understand... We'd have to set up a rom manipulation environment (cooker?). Unfortunately the only tutorial I can find is the one for manipulating HTC roms. I'm not experienced enough to know if it could be used for all Android roms and too much of a chicken to try it out and risk bricking my phone.

Once the rom manipulation environment is set up you can go and add root support, take out unwanted apps, etc.

I'd also be willing to put in some effort into learning this if someone is willing to put in some time to show me the ropes... or point me in the right direction.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GolfnWrx:
I'm looking for a fast ROM, battery is not so important, with JIT compiling that's stable....anything anyone can suggest?

Currently using Super AOSP (using it now, some apps don't run, otherwise stable). Radio=27.08, Haykuro SPL....

Most of the loads I've tried are either buggy or I can't load them for one reason or another (A lot of roms fail during load - is that my phone?)

I don't need a lot of bells and whistles, I do EMAIL, I do Web Surf and play an occasional game, but I don't really need lots of other things, I would gladly give up visuals for some increased speed - currently 2.6 MFLOPS (Linpack free).

Thanks.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GolfnWrx:
best I can do for now....4 MFLOPS on G1

I think I found the best for me right now, Ginger Yoshi gives me 4 MFLOPS, which is not as good as I wanted, but I've set my sites lower.

It is very smooth - it does not feel refined, don't need it, everything works.

I can recommend SuperAosp, it is very refined, everything looks finished. It is not nearly as fast as Ginger Yoshi, but it is pretty and stable.

I did try several other loads, and I'm thankful that there are developers out ther, so I won't mention names, but at least one of these loads gets a lot of press on here and on my phone, I'd call it buggy.

Super Aosp and Ginger Yoshi are both stable.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctbeiser:
It sounds funny, but try turning off JIT. It seems to make roms a lot more stable; I'd guess the G1 just isn't up to snuff for JIT. It makes benchmarks lower, but in practice it works much smoother.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GolfnWrx:
Thanks for the reply!

I am turning off JIT...Then let the phone sit for a couple of mins to finish any housekeeping.

Ginger-Yoshi

JIT = Yes, Speed = 4.1 MFLOPS

JIT = No, Speed = 2.45 MFLOPS

Odd note, one of my non JIT runs ran at 1.6 MFLOPS, I didn't count it since it was so far out, not sure if there was housekeeping going on or what.

Second note, disabling JIT did make installations more stable - I was unable to install and sometimes download a specific application, disabling JIT allowed it to D/L and install.

Super-AOSP

JIT = Yes, Speed = 2.6 MFLOPS

1.6 Google - Rooted, speed to 528 MHz

2.4 MFLOPS

1.6 Google stock

1.4 MFLOPS

I've never run 2.0 or 2.1 so I don't know how they stack up, they do not have JIT, so maybe they are more efficient.

What I really wanted was a 1.6 OS with everything moved to the SD card AND JIT and CPU set to 528 MHz otherwise stock, I expect that is about as fast as this phone can go.

My limited experience:

I can't speak for anyone else but Super-Aosp and Ginger-Yoshi are very stable.

I tried several others that were not so stable, though they have lots of loyal fans, maybe their phones are better than mine.

I agree that we should be able to build a tight system without JIT that is faster, efficiency is the key.

A buddy of mine, has a very fast Android LG Optimus phone - it fly's he can run all sorts of animation, applications etc. and it doesn't seem to affect the speed of the phone...He runs 9 MFLOPS which is WAY above what everyone else with the same phone has...he told me that he isn't modifying the subroutines/calls, he's sort of linking scripts to make things run more efficiently. He's a physicist not a programmer.

He just constantly tinkers with it though - some bits are buggy, it's just a hobby for him, he has development tools right on the phone :D

My current Ginger-Yoshi runs just over 4 MFLOPS, which is less than I wanted but all I can find so far.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhkr234:
JIT is NOT a good match for this hardware, for the simple reason that JIT consumes more RAM.

What you have is a piece of hardware that is SEVERELY RAM LIMITED. Eating up even more of it causes necessary components to be booted out of memory, which ends up causing long periods of WAITING while those components RELOAD. It can also lead to instability, since the available memory will IN MANY CASES, be insufficient for loading even a single program into memory.

Counting FLOPS is a very poor measure of overall system performance. I would bet you that in terms of overall usability and wasted user time waiting, your phone will actually be FASTER with JIT DISABLED.

Ignore FLOPS. It is irrelevant.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GolfnWrx:
I appreciate your argument and I 100% agree that the phone is ram limited, can you suggest another build that does not use JIT?

My current Ginger-Yoshi is faster and smoother than any 1.6 I've run (I have not run Super D, that was going to be my next target if G-Y was buggy).

That goes back to my original reason for this post...fast enough to play angry birds :D or whatever I'm doing.

You say to ignore FLOPS, that is the fairest test That I know for different phones,<Millions of> Floating Point Operations Per Second..that bypasses graphics co-processors and gets down the the meat of what's going on inside.

If you can suggest a ROM that runs better than G-Y I am very willing to try it, but right now the very best ROM I've tried is G-Y (not perfect but better than Anything I've run on this phone).
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
I would expect that you can switch on/off JIT in your settings, so you can try if for you JIT helps or not. G-Y doesn't provide this? (Sorry for the question, but I've never tried it ...)

If there is no option within the ROM, you could add

dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:fast

to you /system/build.prop to disable JIT, or

dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:jit

to enable JIT.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GolfnWrx:
haha, sorry I guess I was not clear :D

yes, i can enable/disable JIT....what I was asking for though was a stable build that is faster than 2.5 MFLOPS.

There were some people last year that found a way to script one of the roms to be more efficient....IIRC they were able to get up to 3.7 MFLOPS....but I don't see them around any more....no JIT it was a rebuild of 1.6 I think..maybe 2.1, I just don't recall.

That might be the best way to go, or they might have hit an error...I didn't keep up with it.

Thanks for the reply though :D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
So you want a script to spoof Linpack?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezterry:
Overall my opinion on JIT (vs. android version)

1.6 - caused some apps problems otherwise seemed the same w/ or w/o jit.. maybe more ram and slower

2.1 - extra ram caused problems with services and slow load times.. improvement at run time minimal.

2.2 - improvement at runtime noticeable but still high memory use and very slow load times

2.3 - incrreased memory use and loadtimes; but more minimal than earlier versions; with screen andimations off/fast perfomance may be acceptibal to many given the better performance of the browser and other higher processing tasks. [at least in a light weight rom]

(Of course this is my opinion durring use .. not a linpack score)

hmm, try changing ro.product.model value with W15, i think thats the original name for W8, just like X8 = E15

P.S : maybe you need to change the other X8-related value, like shakira, or X8
