Samsung captivate/galaxy s, G2/desire z, Mytouch 4g, desire hd, desire s.

The Samsung captivate is surely near your price range, G2/desire z more than likely you can get a good deal on them. Mytouch 4g I'm not sure. Desire hd and s might be a little pricier but should be near your range. (Note i'm talking used since you said you're looking used)

All of these have can be upgraded to gingerbread, via xda of course. :D
[General Questions and Answers] OTSS:
Thanks for the suggestions.

Im not sure if all these phones are capable for att 3G/4g on the 14.4mbs band capability.

Anyways, still looking but leaning towards the atrix due to specs being future proof and the hopes of gingerbread releasing in 2-3 months. Atrix has better specs than those phones...

However, do those phones run gingerbread smoothly? As smooth as atrix runs 2.2? And how is the battery life on those phones with GB?
[General Questions and Answers] k_nivesout:
Gingerbread just flies as far as speed, and its more battery efficient than froyo for sure.
[General Questions and Answers] bobloblawsum:
If you're looking for future proof then the galaxy S2 is probably the best bet at the moment. 21mbps hsdpa speed but not sure if at&t supports that fast
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xan_Kriegor:
I've been having a very strange, but rare, problem when running 3D games. It seems to only occur with certain kernels. I have no idea what else could be causing it. It has happened to me only three times since I got my Vibrant in Sept, but it's pretty scary.

What happens it's kinda hard to describe and even harder to reproduce. When I play any relatively heavy 3D game the phone performs flawlessly then randomly freezes completely. The soft-key lights still react to touch and turn off normally, but I'm unable to restart by holding down the power key for 15 seconds, leaving no choice but to do a battery pull. While this is happening, the screen (frozen in the game) starts to present very bright thin horizontal transparent white lines. These lines will keep appearing until they cover the whole screen. In the end it looks like the screen had lost all colors except shades of green and the rest has turned white.

This has never happened with 100% stock, stock+Voodoo kernels, Bali, or Overstock (didn't OC). It has happened, if I remember correctly, with Dragon (didn't OC), some other kernel I can't remember, and, just now, with DragonMODz SSSJ (OC'ed at a mere 1.1GHz). Maybe it's a problem with OC-able kernels only? Maybe it has to do with uncapped FPS? Maybe it's a simple problem that is all over the forum, but I couldn't find it?

Any help/suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lagunas11:
I think it happened to me too but im not sure... what rom are you using??? And i'd suggest you to use trigger wit the kernel called BULLET flash those and your phone is goin to be super fast... i play 3D games on my phone and i dont have any issues so far so i'd suggest u to flash both kernel and rom and your phone should b faster.... :-)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xan_Kriegor:
I'm currently on Trigger with stock KB5+Voodoo kernel. I've tested it with hours of Asphalt 6 and Gangstar 2 and didn't have any problems so far. I'm still not sure what causes the problem, so I'm not gonna go adventuring with OCable kernels just yet.

I have a couple of font conversion requests...if anyone would be so kind as to create apk's for them I'd be ever so grateful. Thanks in advance! Here they are:
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] itstheshawnp:
im curious as to how to make fonts for android. ive seen some that come as an apk file (using fontimizer), or downloading ttf font files and simply replacing the default ones. i like the ttf method, but would like to be able to add ttf fonts while keeping the originals installed. if this can only be done with apk files, how do i convert ttf or other fonts to apk?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] bdgiese90:
Questions for both of you.

What device are you using?

Are you rooted?

Does the font have to be an apk for use with fontomizor?

The reason I ask is that rooted devices are more volatile. And if you use a recovery such as clockwork, fonts can be flashed with .zip files rather than apk files. I know this because I change fonts all the time. And because I make the flashable fonts as well. Flashing a zip might not be as quick, but it is definitely more painless.

Please reply or pm me so I can help you out better.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] trishah1105:
To answer your questions...

Obviously, I'm on a Vibrant, hence the posting in the Vibrant forum.

I'm not rooted & have NO DESIRE to root my phone. I'm not one of those people who buy a phone & try to make it "better" or an entirely different phone by doing all these things to it. If you're not going to be happy with the phone the way it is, why get it in the first place? smh.

I don't understand a damn thing about converting fonts...that's why I request conversions. I tried doing it myself several times, using the guide Alex linked to & I couldn't do it, so I gave up. Luckily for me, & others out there, there are some people on this forum, like Alex =), that were able to pick up the conversion process & fulfill requests when they have time.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mysterioustko:
I installed the leaked gingerbread rom provided by Paul today and I noticed that I am not able to use voice dialing via bluetooth headset. On the stock rom pressing the answer button on the bluetooth headset results in a voice prompt in the headset and then I can say whatever name I'd like to call, the prompt would then give a confirmation and the phone would then make the call. After installing this gingerbread rom, that functionality is no longer present. Does anyone have any ides on how to get it working? And yes I have already done a wipe, and I have also tried fixing permissions. Any ideas?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mysterioustko:
As a workaround I have found that Vlingo does work bluetooth headset. But I'd still prefer to use the built in voice dialer. If anyone has any ideas, they are more than welcome.
[Droid X General] rdompor:
Hey,

I'm coming from a rooted Thunderbolt and I understand a bit about flashing different roms, but this seems different.

My little brother decided that he wanted to update his Froyo X to the leaked gingerbread before it was rooted. Well, he did. But now he's getting random reboots and wants to either move back to Froyo or just move to something stable. What exactly needs to be done to do this?

Like I said, I have a rooted thunderbolt so I was exposed to using adb to get root. Would the process be similar in this case? Also, is there a way to flash back to Froyo without doing a full data wipe? He said he didn't do a wipe when he installed gingerbread.
[Droid X General] zwade01:
Do a search on how to SBF for the Droid X. You can "sbf" back to stock froyo and reroot with z4root app. From there, he can upgrade to stable rooted GB or stay at froyo. If you'd like to know how to upgrade to a rooted version of GB, visit mydroidworld.com and there's lots of info there on how to do so and all the files you need.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Mister9:
Hey there; I have a problem. I'm not sure where to post this as owain's thread is now locked, so decided to create a new thred (My apologies if this has been answered elsewhere on the forum - the search function of the xda app simply sucks).

Anyway, the problem is that whenever I try to install a theme through xrecovery it will shove the phone into bootloop, does anyone know how to fix this? I tried a few seperate themes to no avail.

Thanks in advance.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] owain94:

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Mister9:
Baseband version:

M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-5340415

Kernel Version:

2.6.29

Mod Version:

xCyanogenPro By Owain94 &Slade87

Build Number:

RC2

This should answer both of you. I thought that was the latest baseband version, and I've not had problems before I installed RC2; I am 99% sure that that's when I started having the problems. Also yes I did do a full wipe and clean restore a few times... Well by that I mean I did a "Factory reset" from xrecovery, if you meant restoring with PC Companion then forget it :P I'd rather stick with this default theme than do that xD. But there must be a simpler fix, right?

P.S. Thanks for replying owain; it's nice to see that you still care about your rom users :P
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Mister9:
Okay... no reply to that. I checked across the forum and that definitely is the correct and latest baseband. Could this maybe have something to do with me restoring a backup from titanium? It's the only thing I can think of right now. Is there at least a log that I can check on my phone after I've attempted to install a theme? Or is that not possible to retrieve on a bricked phone?

Edit: Oh one more thing; I know that flashing zips through xrecovery isn't the problem as I successfully flashed dual touch through it. But before you say it; it can't be flashing dual-touch that caused my current problem, as I tried flashing themes before flashing dual-touch and it bricked my phone. I'm pretty sure I can't provide any more information now as to what might be the cause of the problem.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] owain94:
well the theme's are for MDPI size :P

the roms were in MDPI but rc2 is is LDPI so it won't work
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Mister9:
Oh! Right I see now :P

So are there no compatible themes at all for RC2? And can I not just change the lcd density to make the old themes work? Well thanks for the reply anyway.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] princecharmin12:
Hello everyone. Let me start off with saying that i had rooted my evo a few months ago and I love all the possibilities that opened up when i did so, but last week i think i made a mistake while doing something

I had read around about how snap turbo 7.6 could get you quadrant scores of around 2,000 and wanted to see this for myself. I tried snap turbo on Cyanogen 7, even though it was made for cyanogen 6, and already the quadrant scores shot up to over 1,500! But unfortunately, because it wasn't intended to be used on Cyanogen 7 there were problems i couldn't overlook, which made me decide to flash Cyanogenmod 6.

After trying to flash Cyanogenmod 6, i found out i couldn't flash it unless i downgraded my hboot menu (which was running at 2.10) down to .97. So i tried the method listed here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=883548 and that is what caused the problem.

That method made it so that my evo whenever it starts up goes directly into fastboot. I can use the fastboot commands, and i can go into bootloader, but i can NOT go into recovery, and an attempt to do so lands me right back in the fastboot menu. And even though i can use the commands in the fastboot menu, it always says that whenever i try to flash a new rom, kernal, anything via a PC36IMG.zip file or fastboot commands, it always fails.

Any help on the matter would be highly appreciated. Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
i hate to say it, but that probably wasnt the smartest move.

btw, for next time, you just need s-off, not neccesarily a downgraded hboot.

yea next time i woudn't do that. quadrants mean nothing, and you'll perform better on cm7 w/ tiamat than cm6 w/ snap turbo any day of the week. either way, i may be wrong, but you just need s-off (i think) not an engineering hboot.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
here's my best effort at saving you. i'm attaching 2 zips to this. one is the 2.10 hboot. i whipped it up using calkulin's hboot.img. no reason it should flahs, but try it. rename to pc36img.zip, and put it on the root of ur sdcard. try to flash that through hboot. if it works, fantastic. rename and flash recovery.zip, flash a rom from recovery, and boot. if not:

try flashing recovery.zip first. that's a fix broken recovery zip made by zikronix. if it flashes successfully, then try booting into recovery. if that works, flash a rom, and boot up. if not, try flashing the hboot zip i attached. if none of that works, then idk i think you're out of luck.

[General Topics] mmegalodon:
You sure you wiped appropriately prior to flashing?

I may be wrong about this, but I don't recall there being a limit you have to reach before PMing (obviously you are sitting in the dev. section conundrum) the dev or another poser, but if you can't, in that case, you could hit the Q n A section in your respective phone - erm - section. This General section may be able to net you some answers, but over there would be the best bet. :)

Edit: see it's in the Evo section ... silly question but you're not just flashing the theme are you? Provided you have the ROM set up, you are wiping cache and dalvik before flashing the blue ballah theme, right?

Apart from that ....

It seems to work, great work guys!

I bought the phone from the Finnish operator Saunalahti and renaming the recovery-en.zip to update.zip and flashing that from the stock recovery menu didn't work. Saunalahti uses a modified rom from the original huawei one.

So I followed stockwell's instructions (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1044585) and I used the recovery.img from genokolar's recovery-en.zip.

I tested it so that I created a backup, rebooted and changed the wallpaper, then restored from the earlier backup. The original wallpaper was back, so it seems to work.

Now I can finally start modding stuff and if (when) I mess up something so that I can't boot, I can use the backup :)
