Time-out option?

I've been using it for a couple of days now (since I got my O2X), love it :)

The only thing I was curious about is if there was an option to have the touch buttons stay on while using the phone. The touch buttons go off after a few seconds, and then you have to either touch the screen or the buttons to make them go on again.

When in fairly dark room (my room is like a cave lol) I can't see the buttons, and I end up pushing the wrong one. I've tried to find an option on the O2X, but I don't think there is such a beast.

Thanks for any comments in advanced.
[LG Optimus 2x] Netuser:
I would love it too. It is something that annoys me

The button go off too fast :( and at night it is difficult to see
[Xoom General] vamp6x6x6x:
Is their anyway to make the Xoom speakers louder?
[Xoom General] burden010:
Definitely interested in this
[Xoom General] Vanhoud:
Don't think so. You can always prop it up against a solid object which makes it seem a lot louder :)
[Xoom General] armychris28210:
App called louder volume hack.. works great.
[Xoom General] vamp6x6x6x:
Ty for the info and I went to check out the app in the market and the price seems cheap if it works but I really didnt wanna root my xoom unless i had to...can you confirm it works bc if it works good I may just root my Xoom.
[Xoom General] scsa20:
I think it's loud enough tbh, any louder might blow out the speaker. You can always hook up external speakers or get the HD Docking station which comes with built in speakers (if I'm not mistaken)

[Xoom General] siscim23:
I cup my hands around them and force the sound to bounce back to me. Or since i have the zoogue case, I fold the cover completely back.
[Xoom General] armychris28210:
volume hack does work, but it also makes it Very LOUD...but its adjustable.like hitting the "loud" button on your car stereo..i can see if you set it too high, possibly blowing a speaker...had it on my Hero, and now on my dINC...i just set volume in settings to a loud level so when i have it up all the way, its still not at MAX...like setting an amp<gain> with a sub<if u understand that better>

Because... well, why the hell not? :D

But let's change the core idea a little. Instead of picking which rom you think is the best, just vote for which ever rom you are using right now. After all, if you don't like the rom you probably won't be using it.

And as for all those haters out there, I actually think this kind of poll is good for the developers. Companies hold polls all the times to compare competing products. It's a good way to see how well you are doing against your friends and rivals. Furthermore, a low popularity doesn't mean your ROM is bad. It might just be that you are relatively new to the scene, or perhaps your users simply don't venture to the dark corner of the universe called "General".

So vote on people! The results should be quite interesting.

P.S. Only roms listed in the [ROM LIST] thread are on this poll. So I apologise if your rom is missing from the poll. Go blame it on splish2010 instead :P
[Galaxy S I9000 General] devabhishek:
now this is what is called a competition
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJEgan:
The highest score is going to be the one that must numptys use and the one that breaks most phones .Never answers users help posts left to fend for themselves or waste others time answering .

Not the best rom though how can anyone judge best beats me .

[Galaxy S I9000 General] snapper.fishes:
well, right now Stock firmware is leading. So all of your assumptions you made are correct - Samsung seldom answers us. :D

Bargepole?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zerozoneice:
With ROM kitchen leading i guess most votes are coming from Froyo users.

For Gingerbread there's plenty of better options than (beta) kitchen right now...

This topic should be 2 separate votes: 2.2 and 2.3
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chrisbrueser:
I like Tweaky http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1059561 :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] snapper.fishes:
Perhaps. But once ROM kitchen Gingerbread goes out of beta, most of the froyo users will probably upgrade to Gingerbread. So the results are still relevant.

It's too late to change the poll options now.

I used rom manager to flash Salvage mod 1.2.1 after rooting with Unrevoked and I followed you guys instructions completely but after 4g boot screen it went gray and stayed that way. Please help AGAIN! Should I reboot or pull battery? Sorry about all the questions/problems!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
My instructions did not include ROM manager. Go back to your other thread and follow the instructions I posted. Follow teh roxxorz instructions for flashing the gapps.zip.

posting & replying via the XDA Premium app.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
See your other thread for our instructions. Don't use rom manager, because sometimes it doesn't flash correctly.

In your other thread follow dougjamal's instruction for flashing the rom, and my instruction for flashing the gapps. :) You'll be all set.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] savannahmick:
Your right I am doing thru recovery as we speak! Sorry I figured using rom manager would be same but thats what I get. It did seem to do it right it went right to recovery and wiped and then installed but when it went to reboot it went grey. Anyway i am doing directly thru recovery instead of rom manager.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] savannahmick:
Well same result it says install from sd complete then I reboot and 4g screen then gray. I don't know what to do should I try another rom or am I screwed? I have been scared of this and I guess I should have let it alone. I use my phone for work!

To flash the gapps, wipe your cache and dalvik cache, then flash the gapps zip.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
If CM7 flashed for you, then Salvage-Mod should have flashed for you. I can only assume that the download got corrupted. It happens. Anyway, it's good to know you're up and running. Please don't be dissuaded from trying other roms. Take care.

[Galaxy S II General] landerson07:
Hi guys, I've just moved over from iphone so still finding my feet with android.

For the most part android is far superior but the contact side of things is still bugging me. This is what I want to be able to do:

1. Have my call log as calls only, not texts. I know you can change this to view calls received, dialled etc, but it soons defaults back and shows everything. I just want my log to have dialled and received and nothing else? I'm sure i've read somewhere on the net that this was possible on the SGS through a hack??

2. I want to set up a favourites list of say best mate, gf, work etc and just be able to press their name and it dials there number, not opens another window that shows history, text option, dial option video call option, i.e. just direct dial. I also would like this to be the first screen that opens when I press my phone icon on the dock??

I've set my gf up on my desktop as a direct dial shortcut, but I don't want to be doing that for everyone. I've got a load of contacts but maybe only dial 10 at most on a regular basis.

are there any hacks or thrid party dialers that do this??

Cheers

Lee
[Galaxy S II General] Sebring5:
I can help you with #2. Just swipe right on your favorite and you call that favorite immediately. Swipe left to immediately send a message.
[Galaxy S II General] dickie2007:
hmmm, can't say i can see a way around No.1, other than using a new dialer/contacts app such as Go Contacts or Dialer One etc..

must say, i actually quite like the comprehensive log, coming from Sense and Stock roms with calls only, i like having it all in one place...

Dialer One would be my choice, but only as i used it on CM7 on my Hero for its smart dial feature... can't comment on Go Contacts

hope this helps

Dickie
[Galaxy S II General] landerson07:
I use loads off texts a day so within 10 mins of dialling someone their details are long gone :(

I'll check out Go Contacts and Dialer One though, thanks for the recommendations
[Galaxy S II General] RogerPodacter:
This is a Samsung thing, regular android does not put texts with the call log. I don't think I'd like them to be combined like that.
[Galaxy S II General] Sebring5:
it is the right thing to do

I like them combined. There again, there could be an option to control it.
[Galaxy S II General] landerson07:
Go Contacts is just the ticket :)

Thanks guys, much better now
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sohanlon07:
On the S2, it seems when you remove an app, the app drawer doesn't re-org it just leaves a gap meaning it has to be manually sorted. Is there a way to automatically sort it other than using the list view?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] light487:
I also have a similar question to this that I can't find the answer to anywhere..

Basically I have the same problem with around 9 app drawers half filled. I could sit here for an hour dragging each app icon, one at a time, to other app drawers to consolidate them into less drawers but it's very tedious and annoying to do this.

In some apps, I can select multiple icons (such as multiple pictures) and then move them all to another folder, or perform an action on all the selected icons; I can't seem to find a way to do this with my non-rooted SGS2.

I'm trying to find an app that will allow me to set categories and then assign app icons to those categories and then be able to sort all my icons based on the different categories... again, I've not had any success finding an app like that...

...so I've ended up here, on XDA Forums, to ask the people who know more than me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Suarez7:
you have let me think 3 options or maybe two...either download appzorter application from the market..that basically will sort all your applications in alphabetical order and also the folders you create. then if you have gaps it will sort that for you as well and fill the empty spaces.

or second option use a different launcher from the market and it sorts the icons and folders for you.

one launcher that lets you organize your apps into categories i think its either nova launcher or 360 launcher..no need to be rooted or anything like that to be able to use those apps.:) good luck let me know how you guys get on
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] light487:
Thanks, I have the EX Launcher.. but I don't like it because I have to setup the home screen gain and I had trouble finding the same widgets I had on the out-of-the-box launcher.. maybe I will try again one day.. but for now I will have a look at appzorter to solve my immediate annoyances :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crx16:
+1 for Appzorter

Why Samsung didn't include this function is beyond me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WILMANS2M:
Samsung does. But on Epic 4G which has an auto organized TW4 launcher. I only fine one custo which ported it to our model. But i am not able to make it run on another rom. So bad...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rustyx3:
To add a folder just go to Applications -> Context menu (hardware button) -> Edit -> Add Folder
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Suarez7:
have a look in themes and apps. there is a thread there that has modified touchwiz launchers and implemented in the touchwiz there is a modified version of appzorter. have a look there:)
[Blade General] footynutdyl:
What are the best ways to save battery on a zte blade using latest cm7?
[Blade General] drupad2drupad:
I would love to know if anyone can describe what their battery life is like. I am using cm7.0.3 and after full charge, on stand by mode I have 80% left after 8 hours. Is it good? Bad? Tips to improve this please!
[Blade General] olyloh6696:
in standby? i get about 3% battery drain playing a game for 4-5 minutes. mines really bad..
[Blade General] olyloh6696:
Tips: amoled therefore use black background

- lower brightness

- disable data connection

- use task killers
[Blade General] k0zmic:
I get around a day's use with fairly heavy usage. But games do suck the juice up.

@Drupad yours sounds good, although I'm using N78.

Use Green Power from the Market to turn off Wi-Fi when screens turns off.

Don't overclock.
[Blade General] harmohn:
For my 2¢, I've been using the SMARTASS kernel governor for a while with pretty good results for standby (CyanogenMod settings, Performance, CPU settings).

:)
[Blade General] drupad2drupad:
Hi Oly, Nice to see a familiar name in this forum :) I was wondering if you are as regular here ;)

If yours is bad - I guess it's because of CM7.0.0 - upgrade it, they have fixed that bug (read on CM7 forums)
[Blade General] drupad2drupad:
My brightness is set to 'auto' - should I stop that?

I don't use data connection for anything other than email sync. However good you mentioned task killer. I have installed advanced task killer and set it to kill all tasks when my screen is off. However, as soon as I activate the phone from sleep mode, I can see at least 8-10 apps already active! - could it be a dodgy task killer?
[Blade General] drupad2drupad:
I get more than a day actually now that I've upgraded to latest nightly CM7. They seem to have fixed to battery drain. I charged my phone last night. I've listened to about 45 minutes of online radio while travelling, made 1 call (about 2 mins) and played angry birds for 10-15 minutes. It's been 9 hours since I first used my phone and I have 53% battery remaining. I am also using a live background with auto-screen brightness.

In a nutshell - I think CM7 N85 is better than N78 - give it a go if you like! ;)

I don't use Wi-Fi. I only use data connection from Orange (they seem to have given me unlimited internet so will get as much as I can ;) - yes because I don't like Orange.)

Overclocking doesnt seem to work on my blade. Anything more than 604 and my phone restarts if I use more than 2 apps! :(
[Blade General] olyloh6696:
hi drupad :)

task killers are different in android :) apps need to constantly run in the background :)

its just the way it is (not like WM task manager!) it's normal for the apps to start running again after standby :)

thanks for pointing out cm7.0.3 changelog thingy! i'll try to reflash to 7.0.3 when im free sometime :D

unfortunately i'm not as active in SF forums as much... (more in sgs2 + sgt forums)

you should check out the modaco SF forum,! i think it has different roms there!

cheers :)
[Blade General] drupad2drupad:
Sorry everyone, for making 4 posts, but someone I can't multi-quote on this forum today! Tried loggin out, restarting etc, but it won't let me multi-quote! :mad:

I was using ondemand kernel governor, but I think I will give SmartAss a try, thanks for the suggestion! However, could anyone explain what this Kernel Governors are for? Which is the best (presume it's SmartAss) and which is the worst? :)
[Blade General] drupad2drupad:
I spend almost 3 nights (nearly!) reading Modaco forums, but nothing impressed me as much as CM7! CM7 was the only ROM that had most if not all feature functioning. I am presuming android custom roms have more 'functionality' issues than WM! And if you are going to 7.0.3 - also get nightly 85! It's Gingerbread 2.3.4!
[Blade General] olyloh6696:
thanks for advice mate :)

also to my previous question, i have my brightness set to around 50% (not on auto)

also, i advice to use normal wallpapers, not live!

(as pretty as they are, they suck up power!

also drupad, coming from an fellow spb shell winMo fan, you could give SpB Shell 3D a whizz on your SF :)

i made a thread abt this (tg01 forum) some time back comparing it to spb 3.5 winmo.

it is faster than it was on tg01 and a bit prettier :)

also it may save some battery.... (if you should, try launcherpro - i think its really good for battery too!)

cheers :)
[Blade General] drupad2drupad:
Thanks a lot for that advice mate! I had completely forgotten about the SPB Shell! It will be very interesting to see how it integrates to already beautiful android layout! I am going to give it a go straightaway! Will report back soon.. I used launcherpro for a few hours, but soon realised as customizable as it might be, it's only good if I buy a full version (gives more options!) So ended up uninstalling. Won't be spending much on market just yet, may be after a couple of pay days ;)
[Blade General] drupad2drupad:
It's AWESOME! Definitely better than Stock, AWD and LauncherPro! It's sleek and smooth. I like it already.. however, will give it some try in over-all functionality. The app drawer scrolling has improved by 150%... Doesn't lag AT ALL..

Thanks for suggesting this mate.. If the functionality is good for day to day use and if battery drain is minimal, then this is my THE APP!

Already searching for themes and tweaks ;)
[Blade General] olyloh6696:
yeh :) it's very smooth somehow! launcher pro / stock app drawer is laggy and choppy to scroll through, but buttery smooth on spb!

new carousel is a nice improvement on the android version compared to wm3.5 right? ;)

it is actually incredibly smooth on SF ! it is also cheaper than WM version..

however, i only use it on my SF, not on my other devices... (some reason it lags a bit on my galaxy tab... :( )
[Blade General] harmohn:
Kernel governors from my understanding help determine the way the device responds to dynamic frequency scaling.

Performance is the best for device response but consumes the most battery as it's hitting the upper frequency constantly. Powersave is the opposite as it's hitting the lowest clock speed constantly.

Interactive polls cpu demand based on a timer rather than just currant demand (uses a bit more juice than ondemand).

Ondemand gives a good balance between response and battery.

Conservative is similar to ondemand but ramps up/ down to currant demand more smoothly (at the detriment to response).

Smartass governor caps the max sleeping (ie. screen off) frequency to 352Mhz, so uses less battery. However it acts like Interactive when the screen is on & can use more power than ondemand.

For me Smartass works best on my blade, however on my N1 ondemand is better - go figure ;)
[Blade General] drupad2drupad:
Yes 120% smoother and improved carousel! I think they've got it almost right this time.. I've noticed the reduction in SPB widgets though. Thought they might give integration to most of the shell. I wonder what WM users might do without these integrations, widgets. I think buying SF is one of the good decisions I've made this year - it's worth the money for android phone! (Still jealous of your SGS2 though!)
[Blade General] drupad2drupad:
Thanks a lot for that Harmohn, that makes sense now! It's more or less CPU performance profile in a way, right?

Now it makes more sense to put it on SmartAss! It's been working fine so far, but I am not overclocking at all. Will stick to 604, 122 for now and that saves me a bit of battery hopefully! :)
[Blade General] olyloh6696:
haha :p great home screen launcher! Glad to see you have settled in to android very quickly now! :D you can enjoy thebenifits we never had with the tg01 :p

i second that, zte blade was actrually the thing that led me to android haha... after i bought it, a week later i got my galaxy tab :D

i was gonna buy that sgs2 the day it was announced in Feb at MWC 11 - glad i did, best thing i ever owned :D

you should get one mate! Android is the best!

Glad you moved on from Tg01 after orange's bad service!
[Blade General] harmohn:
Spot on mate! I'm not overclocking my blade either; CM7 is pretty slick now & would rather have better battery life too. :)
[Blade General] drupad2drupad:
hahaha I am still inclined towards WP7, but you never know if I fall in the same trap you did ;)
[Blade General] drupad2drupad:
I've just realised though, N85 does have the 'exchange' bug that is actually fixed in 7.0.3 stable version! I might end up switching back to stable ROM as exchange emails are vital! I will see if I can get decent battery on 7.0.3 (I doubt it though!)
[Blade General] olyloh6696:
yeh, dont go for WP7! seriously :p it's a step backwards! you cant customise anything (not even the home screen!) it gets boring quickly!

also it has sooo much less apps then android! (not even angry birds for it!)
[Blade General] drupad2drupad:
To be honest, I am not a huge fan of apps. Most of them on android are repeated versions of same thing. Plus every app has a free and a paid version making it look like there are plenty of apps! Actually the number needs to be halved to consider how many apps.

Don't even consider the fact that there are at least 50 apps to make shopping list! How many ways can one make that list?!

The main attractive feature for me is it's flawless working! If WP7 achieves that or better, I might get convinced by this Christmas ;)
