[EVO 4G General] tatnai:
guess you have not had the "sweet" line of samsung POS phones I have had. would not touch a samsung again, sorry.

Sense = win. Like a good lover, you just have to keep going back. Even looking at the improvements from sense 2.1 to sense 3.0 (not just rosie, but all apps), I fell in love all over again. Touchwiz = fail. Touchwiz 3.0 will undoubtedly = more fail, even if it is twice as good as the last iteration.

I don't care about 3D either, but HTC = better build quality (i'll take my light leak thank you very much), HTC = better software, and Samsung = not in my pocket.

Lastly, as previously posted the dev community behind a phone is just as important as the phone itself. The devs have already spoken, and I'll be right behind'em.

That's my take. To each their own, competition is good for the consumer so somebody else go out and buy some Sammy.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
I've seen rumors of MIUI possibly partnering up with a major OEM. A SGII + stable MIUI would be down right deadly IMO.
[EVO 4G General] mlin:
Yeah, I didn't realize who was behind MIUI and how much money was involved...
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
I kind of figured something was up. The quality of work was just too high. Still surprised though.
[EVO 4G General] Android 17:
Fixed that for you.
[EVO 4G General] mylasthope:
Lol. How does sense remind him of Samsung phones? ;)

I've been nothing but happy with my evo, whereas my cousin has had an amazing time with his epic 4g, especially the gps problems. ;) So I'm definitely getting the Evo 3d. Either way, I'm sure both phones are great, but the SGS2 is probably going to come out way later than the 3d. To each his own.
[EVO 4G General] crabjoe:
What if knew the EVO 3D won't get Perm-Root?

For that looking to get the EVO 3D, will you still get it then?
[EVO 4G General] driguez:
SG2 no doubt
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
E3D, haven't heard much good about samsung's build quality or software and the only issue I've had with my Evo is the B-Spot. If samsung teams up with MIUI then don't even bother asking anymore because that will guarantee I'll never trust any of my personal info with it.
[EVO 4G General] jelucas30:
I really like the look and specs on the GS2. I like the slim form factor and also the bright screen. And I also read that it had better battery life. But I think im gonna go with the Evo. I never had any complaints about the Evo other then the bad battery life.

Plus no one has a better phone plan, price wise, then Sprint right now.
[EVO 4G General] ECrispy:
Not even close, this one. SGS2 has better everything.
[EVO 4G General] mlin:
Care to elaborate? The way I see it is this:

Screen-

Samsung- lower res, more power efficient, not as bright, inaccurate representation of true color. Upclose appearance still grainy because of the tech S-AMOLED uses?

HTC- higher res, less power efficient, brighter, more realistic colors, 3D capabilities

Processor-

Samsung- dual core A9 architecture, they have a rep for powerful and efficient processors

HTC- dual core Scorpion architecture, Adreno 220 GPU (205 performed as good or better than Samsung's Hummingbird), probably not as efficient on battery.

Camera- we have already seen that MPs don't mean much in the world of cell phone cameras.

Samsung- 8MP rear w/ flash, 2MP front- 1080P 30fps HD recording (very impressive).

HTC- 2x 5MP rear w/ 2-stage flash, 1.3 MP front, 1080P 24fps recording, 720P 30fps 3D recording (gimicky or not, 3D is going to be sweet).

Hardware- toss up, I've heard good and bad things about both. My wife had no HW issues with her Epic 4G or Moment. I've had no issues with my Vogue, TP, TP2, or EVO - though my Mogul had some problems.

Software-

Samsung- history of low frequency of updates, kinda buggy (from experience with Moment and Epic)

HTC- better record of update frequency, less buggy

Bottom line- SGS2 does not have better everything. Each phone has their perks and drawbacks. It just comes down to user preference, but lets not pretend that the SGS2's specs are in all aspects superior to those of the EVO3D, because they're not.
[EVO 4G General] thegregbradley:
I'd smoke this poll.
[EVO 4G General] guardianali:
Its very simple people. Your posting on a xda board. Meaning your probably running a custom rom.

I dont give a rats as for sense or touchwiz. I want stock OS.

Which means im going to pick the phone that will have the best likely hood of being rooted in a timely fast manner and then have the dev support here.

And that means HTC over samsung. Model of phone is irrelevant.
[EVO 4G General] relic419:
Actually, with regard to the screen, the new S-AMOLED Plus uses an RGB matrix with 50% more sub-pixels so it will be as sharp as any other LCD screen with a similar pixel density. On the other hand, the qHD screens so far have all been Pentile matrix (1st gen S-AMOLED) and thus, would produce that graininess you mention.

I've never seen anything indicating the Adreno 205 outperforming the SGX540 (in the Hummingbird). As a matter of fact, everything I've seen indicated it was almost as good as the SGX530.

Samsung's cameras have generally been better that hTc's (Epic vs Evo) even at different MPs. I'm sure it would be no different for this generation.

I agree on everything else. Another major aspect I would throw in, is Dev support. Based on current trends, I would assume the Evo 3D would have better dev support.
[EVO 4G General] mlin:
I wasn't sure about the screen, I know the previous s amoled screens used 33% fewer pixels, I haven't read up much on the plus. How about color, more accurate on the plus as well?

I read an article comparing the adreno 200 and 205 to the humming bird which mentioned how poorly 200 performed and how well the 205 did. Ill try to find it again, I was browsing for info about the impact dual core processors have on battery efficiency and stumbled across the article...

I'm not going to debate cameras as they're not entirely consistent. We'll have to see how they perform head to head. Ive gotten the impression that camera improvement was heavy on HTC's mind. Will see how that manifests in their newest flagship phone.

SO I found this article: http://smartphonebenchmarks.com/for...d-power-gsx540-vs-adreno-205-which-is-faster/ and it partly corroborates what you were saying about GPU comparisons. I say partly because while the Humming bird still won, it was a close competition. On the other hand, I also this was stated on the same site: "Qualcomm claims this GPU will be several times more powerful than Adreno 205, becoming competitive to console gaming systems."

The EVO3D is going to be sick!

Ok so I am using CM 6.1.3 By Wolfbreak,

I can make and receive calls fine but only one number cannot call me, it gives them an error, I can call that number but it can't call me.

I have not had this issue before using CM 6.1.3 so is this something wrong with the ROM ?

Has something changed in the Bluetooth stack from DJ05 to EC01 & ED01? I used to be prompted to enter a PassKey and I was able to pair but not connect now when connecting to a keyboard (ED01) it just attempts to auto connect and fails.

This is really a pain because I am trying to work around the Bluetooth limitation and use Keyboard Easy Connect.

[Galaxy 3 General] kyrillos13:
Custom ROMS for SG3 are buggy and overbloated?? Why do you say that?
[Galaxy 3 General] neo1691:
lestatious 1.8 with fugumod 2.2 is very good and stable!! one of the best roms that ive seen!!

and galactic blur rom is the newest rom and has very few bugs or hardly any bugs as far as i know..!!

kyrillos rom is also very popular here i havent tried it though!!

Then some roms like apocalypse and indroid are in beta stage and will be bugfree soon!!

so you do have many choices eh!! :)
[Galaxy 3 General] neo1691:
agreed bro..!! someone should come up with a rom having some fresh features and mods!!
[Galaxy 3 General] hodostamas:
try Destiny ;)
[Galaxy 3 General] airpd:
Not to start another thread, i would like to ask the same question. Some time has passed so i was wondering what is the best rom to flash on my sister's phone (most stable tested so far by galaxy 3 users) Thanks.
[Galaxy 3 General] bluedreamer:
I think Destiny is the most stable one...
[Galaxy 3 General] m1trand1r:
i know for this ones i've flashed myself and tested a lot:

Kyrillos' rom 9.4(i didn't update to 9.5 ):P

Kyorarom Ascendency 0.5.1(i didn't update to 0.5.2)...

those two were the most stable, nice looking, fast....for me:P

but now i'm on (check signature) and i just can't get of it....it's stable, faaaasttt like SR71:D...and i like it....a looot:D...but it's not complete as is based on cm7a7 and has same problems as^^^....but for me it's just fine:D

Thanks. I just flashed Kyrillos' rom v9.0 NON OC version.
[Galaxy 3 General] Shadowmaniac:
i tried almost all roms best and fastest i ever used is Kyorarom Ascendency v0.5.1

i have never had so fast rom before if you want your phone to work fast than flash this rom but if you want your phone to have good games and be slower then flash kyrillos that rom is good too but slower
[Galaxy 3 General] airpd:
I will give her the phone to use it and after a few days if she doesn't like it i'll try this one too.

Thanks.
[Galaxy 3 General] MmegaMac:
I thinks the better is Kyrillos Rom !
[Galaxy 3 General] HanaPoulpe:
I think Kyrillos is a good ROM (I won't say the best because I didn't test all ROMs).

The version 9.5 has a very good power management, the battery real last longer, and performances are here, the app2sd works like a charm.

I never had any problems with this ROM.

Now I'm using Kyrillos 10, it work fine to, but I feel like battery last a bit less than in 9.5, I had problems with App2SD (now using Link2SD and it's fine).
[Galaxy 3 General] bscraze:
Please... many threads like this have already been closed. All our phones may be galaxy3, just that one rom may lag on one and may be super smooth and lagfree on another. DM lagged on my phone but was the fastest rom on some. Kyorarom was the fastest on my galaxy 3. Please there is no best rom, as user a will say kyrillos, user b says kyorarom, user c says dutchmods, etc, etc. Please no more such threads...

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] soloxp:
I created a permanent notification menu in tasker to do some quick launching apps and settings. It was hard to do, but I got it to work. The hard part was…every time I reboot the permanent notification menu would not start.

Here how to set it all up.

1.	Open tasker & hit Task: hit New Task: (& name it what ever)

2.	Now hit the + & go to Alert & hit Notify…in notify Title (name it what ever you want it to display in the notification) But remember what you put in there. Now put a check in Permanent and hit Done & hit Test. That will start the permanent notification & hit Done

3.	Hit Task again & New Task (name it what ever you like) this is where you will load all the stuff you will like in your permanent notification menu. Hit the tool icon & where it have Task Type hit the drop down & pick Menu. You can add a background if you like by clicking on background. Hit Done. Hit the + to add what ever you in your permanent notification menu. When you are done adding what you want…hit Done

4.	Now hit New name it to what ever. Hit Event & hit UI & hit Notification Click…now in Title put what you in # 2 hit Done

5.	In Task Selection the name you made for your menu…the hit Apply

6.	Now pull down your notification and hit your permanent notification menu and you should get a menu pop up with all the stuff you add.

7.	Now if you reboot the permanent notification menu will not start by itself. To make it start after a reboot on it’s own…we need to set a profile.

8.	Open tasker click New & name it what ever or name it the same as your permanent notification menu. Click Event – System & hit Device Boot & on Task Selection pick your permanent notification menu & hit Apply

9.	You should be all done…Hope this help anyone that want to setup a permanent notification menu.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] twolves14:
Thanks! My power button doesn't work anymore, So I added a task that locks the screen from the notification bar.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sscales:
Hi, I have been searching the net for hours trying to find out how to create a menu in the notifications pull down bar that when pressed opens a popup menu with 4 options. This post seems to be the only one that goes over creating this in tasker but I have been getting stuck at a few points.

1 - in section 3 it says 'Hit the tool icon & where it have Task Type hit the drop down & pick Menu' I can not find this.

2 in section 4 it says 'Hit Event & hit UI & hit Notification' firstly is this in a new task or part of section 3. Also I can not find Hit Event & hit UI & hit Notification in tasker.

If anyone can lend me a hand I would be very greatful.

[EVO Shift 4G General] stormchaser404:
Phone was rooted with Shift Root & Recovery. I downloaded Free Wifi for Root Users from the Market. It showed as paused for a long time but eventually finished. But when I tap on the button to start tethering, it cycles for a while then says unable to start, are you sure it's rooted or something like that. Thoughts?
[EVO Shift 4G General] stormchaser404:
Ok, what I've tried...

- Went back into Shift Root & recovery and used the 'Check Root" and it comes back with message saying "phone is rooted". Then I uninstalled the app and redownloaded it...same problem.

Help?
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
Google the app, download the apk onto your computer. Hook your Shift up as a Disk Drive and load the app to the root of your sd card. Go to the root of your sd card, find the app. Then load the app that way. Might not be downloading right for some reason.
[EVO Shift 4G General] stormchaser404:
Well, got it figured out... Shift Root & Recovery was showing the phone as rooted but it wasn't I rooted it using the comand prompt method and it works fine now. So, not the app...

Ok, i'm in the process of running Gingerbreak, and i've got titanium backup installed.

I plan to remove as much bloatware as possible after rooting.

Is there anything else cool i can do with my phone after this? Any overclock, underclock or anything else anyone can recomend for improveded performance/fun/whatever?
[Xperia Play General] thatsupnow:
grab some emulators for ps one, super nintendo etc etc but as for overclocking and stuff that will be coming along shortly i would imagine devs just need more time :)
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
we cant overclock yet because the stock kernel dosent support it, a few people will be working on custom kernels now sony has released a guide for devs, unless you have an unlocked bootloader though, you cannot flash anything. you can underclock with root though :)
[Xperia Play General] dsswoosh:
Couldn't get Gingerbreak to work. It get's stuck when running exploit.

So i tried to root it using the manual process, and when i fastboot my phone, win 7 can't find the usb drivers and i cant execute the "fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version" command because the command window is "waiting for device".

Anyone got any suggestions?

edit - I found a noob guide (perfect for me ;)), it's late here where i am, i'll try again tomorrow. Looking forward to playing n64 emulator with a speed increase. Mario Kart is a bit choppy every now and again. Also want to get rid off the vodafone crap that is on my phone :)

I'll post here to say how i got on.
[Xperia Play General] Dousan:
Grab Adfree of the market and get rid of your adds in the browser and apps. Faster fix for a quicker gps lock. Screenshot apps. Busybox installer.

Regards Dousan...
[Xperia Play General] dsswoosh:
Ok, i eventually got it rooted today. I ended up using gingerbreak.

I decided to give it another go and left it running exploit while i went to the gym. After 2.5 hours i returned and it was rooted.

Previously i left gingerbreak running for 25 minutes and was left thinking it was stuck.

Don't know why it takes so long, but hey, it works in the end.

Removed some bloatware and have 150 meg free space to play around with (was around 40mb before).

Phone boots in around 2 minutes, which was better than the 4+ that it used too.

Interface seems slightly speedier. No improvement really on n64 emulator though, so i guess an overclock will be the only thing to make it better. Not that it's bad, but getting rid of the tiny skips would be nice.

Overall very pleased.

Let's wait for the guru's to get the kernel stuff sorted so we can overclock. Hopefully to a nice 1.2ghz would be pretty awesome, and some custom efficient roms would be great too.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Terrold:
So I tried to update to the latest Radio for ATT. I was getting a 2Mb up connection.

I tried getting the RIL for this as well via

http://www.megaupload.com/?f=YCU9JUCT

Once I flashed the RIL I'm lucky to get .55Mb up

Is there a way to remove the RIL? I've looked around and have yet to find a way. I've tried reflashing the radio and downgrading the the stock one...which got me 1Mb-ish. And then putting back on the newest ATT radio.

Help please!
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
The RIL is flashed separately from the radio. Typically you will get the best connections by having a matched set. If you want the newest radio and RIL for AT&T, click the top link in my sig and go to the second post. It has them in one zip file you can extract.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Terrold:
So run the radio as a PD98IMG through hboot and then flash the RIL? Just wanna make sure I'm doing it correctly.

Edit: So I went to the link and answered my own question. Thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Terrold:
So I had the problem where I was not provided a locked APN. I chose menu and reset to default and it gave me the stock att one. And my speeds are worse then before.
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
Run a nandroid backup, then flash attn1's pd98img ROM. see if that changes anything.
[HTC Inspire 4G] UnholyChaosAngel:
Yep, easy as pie. I would recommend reading up on radios before you flash them. Sometimes the newest one isn't the best performing.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Terrold:
Yeah I'm back to stock. I couldn't find one that was recommended for cm7. And I get 3down and like 1.5 up or so. Can't complain. Its all a learning experience though.
