[Droid X General] Allmaechtig:
I have not have much good experience with GB in the past on different phones... so i am wondering if i can use the donate version to put the Liberty 2.2 ROM on my Droid X, until I am comfortable with GB enough to go for the latest version. I have a stock 2.2 rooted and have seen and heard all the good that comes out of liberty.... i am just wondering if (given that i will do a Titanium Backup) if i can just use the donate version to install the ROM with out having to go to through a computer....

I do know that if i ever need to go back to stock i will have to SBF back but i just hear some many good things about how easy this app is to do the ROM, but i see no mention of anyone starting from stock.

Any answers that y'all would have would be much appreciated

Thanks for everything

[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
You don't need to buy the donate version to get froyo liberty. It is in the free version and you can find the download on several sites
[Droid X General] pumas45:
If you only want Froyo, then just the free version will do. (just wipe data/cache and back up first when asked)

If you want GB, donate is best since New updates come once in a while. But a mayor update was getting faster 3g access when upgrading to GB
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jbm0592:
Is there a way to find out what ports that apps use? I'm trying to use ASproxy for the proxy settings and it works fine with Pandora because I already knew what port it uses, but I don't know how to find it for any of my other apps, is there a way?

Thanks.
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
I figured this needs a new thread since the others have been derailed by people trying to update! :)

1) Speed, finally a speedup! The lockscreen is faster, switching apps is faster, the browser is faster (scrolling/zooming/flash video/scrolling with flash video open) , the launcher is faster... I could go on and on about how fast it is now.

2) Smooth 720p flash video playback

3) Mouse support, tried it out and it works great!

4) Joystick support is cool but no apps seem to support it yet, it doesn't show up as a general input device as I had hoped, you have to specifically program for the joystick api I believe.

5) Resizable widgets! Even this operation is silky smooth

6) Scrollable app switching
[Xoom General] sKepz:
does it address the wifi driver leak? better yet, documentation or release notes on this update?
[Xoom General] JFMFT:
Nice post. Thanks for the information. I speak for nearly everyone who at this time hasn't received the update when I say I can't wait to get my hands on 3.1 on my rooted Xoom!

I, for one, am most excited about the following: resizable widgets, mouse support (btw - what kind of mouse are you using? bluetooth or usb/wired?), and most importantly the overall speed-up and bug fixes (such as smoother 720p video playback) across the entire Android Honeycomb OS.

Kudos to Google for knocking it out of the park with this one. Maybe nothing absolutely groundbreaking or super innovative, but all we really wanted anyway was a quality level of polish added to the amazing base OS we already had. That's what we're getting with 3.1. Yay.
[Xoom General] JFMFT:
There's documentation/changelog posted on the Android developer blog. Look it up. It lists every change in paragraph, essay form (instead of the usuall bullet point list associated with most changelogs).
[Xoom General] GorfinG:
how do you resize the Widgets? I've been trying this for an hour.

The quick launch controls for the browser have been updated as well. Very cool. You can scroll pages using the controls without having to scroll up the page.
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
It only works on list widgets, like the email and bookmark widgets. Hold down on the widget like you're going to move it and then set it back down.
[Xoom General] dark_aura:
For those who had tested 3.1 in their Xoom's, there is a improvement in 720p & 1080p video files?

I have the Asus Transformer and wondering about that stuff, since the Xoom owners are the first receiving 3.1
[Xoom General] rjoudrey:
Any video hardware acceleration?
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
I don't think that's any different, but I've only tried non high profile video. Still can't play .avi natively.
[Xoom General] GorfinG:
Thanks. Did anyone notice the Google stock movie app is no longer installed?
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
I've always only had the gallery app to play movies. The movie rental program is called 'videos'

Edit: Speaking of which, the Videos app has a 'Personal Videos' tab, which shows all of your videos in a nicer display than the gallery app... nice!
[Xoom General] GorfinG:
sorry, meant the stock movie studio app. To edit videos. Wonder if this was changed for Google movies?
[Xoom General] lstrike:
I noticed the broken shortcut for movie studio on the desktop but then opened the apps drawer and the icon there opened it right up. Take a look see if it works for you.
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
I still have that app
[Xoom General] android_geoff:
is portrait mode slow or is there a speed increase?

also has the auto rotate sped up?
[Xoom General] Elysian893:
If 720p YouTube videos are this smooth in the browser, I can't wait to get an overclock kernel on this thing!
[Xoom General] rk-one:
Is there italian language in the 3.1 us rom?
[Xoom General] lilikin:
uk release?

When is this hitting the uk? Mine isn't available yet.
[Xoom General] e.mote:
>Is there italian language in the 3.1 us rom?

http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-3.1.html (scroll to bottom)
[Xoom General] rk-one:
Thank you, but in 3.0 us rom was not there (only english, french and spanish), anyone that can check in the real 3.1 fw availabilty of italian.

Thank you.
[Xoom General] myv6mustang:
auto rotate is not faster.

Browser has more options when using Labs.

Only got 1600 on quadrent....on the leaf test was getting 5 GPS.

YouTube views load a lot quicker.

No he support on USB host mode.

Have mixed feelings about the update...

Oh and last thing browser goes into a flickering ghost image mode every now and than combining the previous web page with the current one.
[Xoom General] larkin vain:
I got the update on my wifi xoom while tethered to my Mytouh4G.

Video definately improved as I can now watch my HD videos smoothly.
[Xoom General] BrewXD:
Wait, what? I thought the update was only for 3G Xooms?
[Xoom General] appelflap:
Yep, good question. The sdk system image is the one used for the emulator, not the Xoom image.

Can anyone check which locales are supported? Setting -> Language & input -> Select Language

Thanks
[Xoom General] sleepy1212:
The Launcher is still slow in portrait and upside down orientations. I've switched to ADW Launcher EX for now.

Also, in the Language & Input menu I only see English, Espanol, and Francais.
[Xoom General] tpham08901:
usb host

Ps3 controller now fully functional with emulators, USB mouse and keyboard both work now. Wifi speeds increased
[Xoom General] Elysian893:
Yeah I've seen as high as about 1900 in Quadrant... I was getting 3657 with Tiamat 1.4.1...
[Xoom General] ruinah:
What mouse did you use? Bluetooth or wired? Do you get a pointer or does it just scroll across the icons? Praying for a pointer.
[Xoom General] tuatha:
Wtf. You'd think a basic performance and user experience issue like this would be one of the first things they'd fix.

Are we going to have to wait until ICS so that we can scroll properly?
[Xoom General] cwizardtx:
- Browser performance has improved

- Flash performance has improved

- HTML5 support

- New highlighting of checked items in gmail/mail client

- USB peripheral support (haven't tested)

- Storage broken down into media types (apps/photos/videos/etc) under settings menu

- Hitting "back" in the market goes back to where you were instead of kicking you back to the top of the list which was very annoying

- You can force a check for future OTA updates with a "check now" button

- Camera/Gallery views are MUCH improved - images are sharp and crisp like they should be.

- Resizeable widgets (requires developer to change an attribute in their xml) - Stock gmail/mail/calendar/bookmarks are all resizeable

- DRM support gives us music and movie purchases now, I hope netflix is soon to follow.

I'm sure there's more. A couple things broke but I suspect they'll get fixed right away (paradise island app doesnt work now, boo hoo)

Oh also, the shortcut to your movie editor will probably be broken. After updating... remove the shortcut and re-add it.
[Xoom General] Elysian893:
I just paired a bluetooth mouse, it's got a black mouse pointer outlined in blue.
[Xoom General] DefaultBR:
AALLLLL the changes

are here ->

http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-3.1.html#relnotes

:)!!!
[Xoom General] ruinah:
Thanks! I am hoping to be able to use it for some admin work too like RDP to servers, etc.
[Xoom General] Dubar:
I was already a fan of the stock email and gmail widgets, but making them resizable just made them so much better! Now I can see my last 20 or so emails at a glance (have them both as big as possible on one screen), which is a good thing when you get a lot of important email or when its Monday morning and you're "off" and everyone in every department feels the need to email you before you wake up. I bet if I favorite a bunch of heavy sites and make the bookmarks widget take up a whole screen I could make this thing grind to a halt
[Xoom General] Abracastabya:
Has anyone actually fired up the movie studio app to see if its useable now? On 3.0 it doesn't work very well at all :(

TIA!

Sent from my Xoom
[Xoom General] oxeneers:
Someone do a video walkthrough!!
[Xoom General] Dubar:
a video walkthrough of the making of a video walkthrough of the movie studio would be some sort of reality-bending logic loop
[Xoom General] csseale:
Question...

Is the market fixed where you can rate and leave comments?
[Xoom General] gbenj:
Thats something I definitely see from time to time and I'm still on 3.0.1 so thats not something that was introduced in 3.1
[Xoom General] Dubar:
its not that its broken, I'm pretty sure they're just trying to avoid the comments getting flooded with "THIS APP IS GARBAGE IT DOESNT WORK ON HONEYCOMB". It'll appear nonchalantly one day once app developers have had a fair chance to update.
[Xoom General] case0:
Question from a TF user here. Do live wallpapers now run smoothly as well? And without slowing down switching home screens, widgets etc?
[Xoom General] B Dizzle:
Bluetooth mouse is a nice feature! Sometimes (RDP sessions) it is nice to have the bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
[Xoom General] Elysian893:
Live wallpapers worked fine for me before, I use Twisted Colors, it's great.
[Xoom General] el_bori1:
I like the new youtube application. Instead of HQ it has HD and videos look awesome.
[Xoom General] dark_aura:
Can you check if you can enjoy a lot of HD videos without lag? If videos that were lagging before, are not doing it now?
[Xoom General] NorCalDroid:
I can assure you that they have fixed HD playback on the YouTube app. It makes me really love this thing all over. I'm enjoying all my YouTube videos now with no hiccups.
[Xoom General] tritran18518:
i just made a short review for 3.1 update

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s48LeVrp3yQ
[Xoom General] albundy2010:
When browsing in the market it shows if you have installed now. Before you would have to tap on the app to see.
[Xoom General] StrifeSoldierVII:
Also I have noticed that when I am using my bluetooth headphones when it is on the speaker dock I can now have the audio go straight to my headphones and not from the speaker dock itself. That's the way it should be because before it would only play from the speakers when it was docked regardless if bluetooth was connected or not, it would ignore it and just kick it out. This is a nice fix for me personally because maybe I don't want the sound to only come from the speakers if it was docked.

Everything new in 3.1 rocks but everyone before me pretty much listed it all so that's it from me.
[Xoom General] JayBomb999:
Unfortunately, no on both counts. Using the Xoom in any orientation besides the default position (Camera up, HDMI down) is still pretty laggy.

Also, the auto rotate seems to have gotten slightly worse in my experience.
[General Questions and Answers] shadow65781:
If Ive missed it could someone please point me at it?

Ive searched and cant find a forum for the Samsung Infuse, Mods could you please create one.

Thank you.:confused:
[General Questions and Answers] TheKenAnthony:
yes please create one.. you guys create forums months ahead for phones that dont even have a release date yet!!! seriously can we get the forum up already... thanks!!
[General Questions and Answers] jnovello:
Yes!! Also wondering why this phone is getting no love.
[General Questions and Answers] madd_dogg_914:
I would also like to see an Infuse 4G Forum.
[General Questions and Answers] jthornton71707:
Still no answer..... Where's the forum!
[General Questions and Answers] justanothernoob:
I was wondering the same thing i plan on taking my atrix back on sunday for the infuse on the 28th day of my 30 day return policy lol.
[General Questions and Answers] MXIIA:
Where is it? The phone comes out in 2 days and there is no forum yet?!
[General Questions and Answers] justanothernoob:
Yeah i'm still waiting for the infuse forums......
[General Questions and Answers] MXIIA:
This is actually quite pathetic... they've posted the XDA-TV of them playing with the Infuse, yet haven't made a forum for it yet.... it literally comes out in 2 days.

I'd really like to see some CM7, or TW4.0 ported to it... and an official publication of the SuperOneClick root.
[General Questions and Answers] justanothernoob:
T minus one day...
[General Questions and Answers] TheKenAnthony:
What a joke!!! .. you guys create forums for phones months ahead with no release date but dont put up a forum for a phone with interest by community members that comes out TOMORROW!!! .. step it up or let someone else take over.. and yes we are starting to get a little agitated!!
[General Questions and Answers] MXIIA:
The phone comes out bloody tomorrow... this is REALLY pathetic...
[General Questions and Answers] MXIIA:
Will a mod be posting anytime soon?
[General Questions and Answers] freddieman23:
I agree, where the **** is the forum for the Infuse 4G?!?!?!?!? It is coming out tomorrow and I expect it to be a bag of poop if it gets no community support
[General Questions and Answers] drleospaceman:
XDA must have some sort of vendetta against the Infuse.
[General Questions and Answers] justanothernoob:
Maybe its evil,either way this atrix is going back tomorrow and im picking up an infuse. But it'd be awesome if there was a forum for it!
[General Questions and Answers] HushH:
Just adding my vote as one that would love to see a forum for the Infuse as well.
[General Questions and Answers] MXIIA:
And the phone is currently out....
[General Questions and Answers] jthornton71707:
Still no forum. I was holding out a little hope that the forum would be put up on launch day but still nothing. Can we get a straight answer at least. Will xda no be supporting this phone? Is there a lack of dev support? I hate having to go to android community for forums.
[General Questions and Answers] justanothernoob:
and I've got my infuse, can we get some forums please?
[General Questions and Answers] justanothernoob:
Btw I am loving the infuse over the atrix I had.....
[General Questions and Answers] DVA4890:
I got the INFUSE today and it is awesome. any way to change the app layout to that of other android phones where they are all on the same page.

thanks
[General Questions and Answers] jthornton71707:
Get another launcher. Adw. Launcherpro ect.
[General Questions and Answers] jthornton71707:
Sweet. I sold my atrix last week for this. Getting it right now. Don't let me down samsung!
[General Questions and Answers] jthornton71707:
I just recieved a pm back from a mod. They said the infuse forum will be coming early next week. Phewww
[General Questions and Answers] mostyle:
People.. Seriously..

I understand that a lot of people use XDA but please for the life of me explain where the sense of entitlement comes from? Sure the mods haven't created a forum for the device yet but is it productive coming across the way some of the threads I've read have?

Correct me if I'm wrong but does anyone get paid to moderate XDA? For that matter do any of us pay to use it? We have no right to expectation of service at all.

My bottom line.. Cut the mods some slack.. They will get to it when they get to it.. Getting irate bordering on hostile is most assuredly counter productive.
[General Questions and Answers] justanothernoob:
Whoa, I got nothin but love for the devs and moderators.
[General Questions and Answers] MXIIA:
There is no sense of entitlement, XDA has run a few stories on the phone (XDA-TV and such), and they put the other 2 AT&T phones up, but failed to do this one. Making a new forum literally takes about 30 seconds of one admin's time... there's no real reason why it didn't happen besides purely not wanting to do it.
[General Questions and Answers] sn707:
Really looking forward to the forum! Got the,Infuse yesterday and got it rooted.
[General Questions and Answers] bragOS:
On the flipside, it takes 3 minutes to create a forum w/ subs.
[General Questions and Answers] mostyle:
Agreed. Not disputing how simple it is to do.. More over was commenting on what I perceived as people griping about it not being here and the underlying belief that it should have been.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soraxd:
im going to go out on a limb here and say most people still use tvs with RCA (red yellow white), over HDMI.. my galaxy s1, i can plug in my cord to the red yellow blue in the back of my tv, and into my headphone jack and play movies on my tv.. the galaxy s2 seems to be missing this feature.. is it there somewhere, or is it really gone?! why would they get rid of it.. is it because they added MHL? (something great, but something many wont be able to take advantage of)? i mean its not hurting anything by leaving it there.. it used to be in Settings>Display> TV Out ..why couldnt they just leave both.. they did that everywhere in the phone.. added picture editor and removed adjusting picture in the camera, added video editor and removed ability to pause video while recording.. wtf samsung... ihy
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NZtechfreak:
I agree, I wish they had kept both, but I guess it would have required more space and had to go for design reasons.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] David Horn:
I disagree. If you can afford a £500 phone I don't think it's unreasonable for Samsung to assume you have a television with HDMI. After all, every TV made in the last 10 years supports the standard. I don't even have anything that outputs over composite cables any more.

For the rest of us, this is a step forward.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] intruda119:
I agree with above post. RCA over my 55inch TV would look like crap.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Burko:
A better question in that case may be, why launch your flagship device without the cables to enable all the functionality you have advertised.

If you're on a 12 month contract, that feature is obviously not available to you for at least 1/12th of your term.......
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NZtechfreak:
Disagree.

Sure, I have an HD television, but I live in NZ and many others don't, so it would be nice to have the option because it offers versatility. Just because your use doesn't need it, doesn't mean that is true for others. Since when does moving forward with HDMI out connections neccessitate the removal of other options? The original GS Tab has both, and since SD Out shares an existing connector its a shame that the legacy connection option isn't available here. I suspect it simply wasn't possible to shoehorn it into the small shell on offer here, but that doesn't mean I can't be disappointed its not present, does it?

Its also far cheaper to get a TV Out cable for the 3.5mm jack, and its available now.

The output doesn't actually look too bad either - check out my youtube channel for some video examples of SGSI SD TV Out.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ingvarr:
You can't really expect manufacturers to support all old standards forever. Eventually they just have to be dropped...

You can always use HDMI-to-component converters or something similar.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magnum_touchpro:
rca adapter is nice because then we can hook it up in our cars.. but i guess you guys might not have screens in your car then =/
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ingvarr:
Or might that good units have hdmi input anyway, so that's not such a big issue.
[Streak 5 General] carpy47:
hi

I have a streak and put the update on the sd root. I then hold volumes and power to get to recovery screen I choose second in the menue install update and it goes to clockwork 2.5 and that canot see the pkg file.

How do I get the mobile to use the file.

thanks for any help
[Streak 5 General] zac68:
Clockwork does not do pkg files, you need to install the recovery version that goes with the update.pkg file you want to install. This is done via fastboot. You will loose Clockwork recovery when you do this, but you can reinstall it after you do your rom upgrade.

The recovery files can be found here

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Dell_Streak#Official

Fastboot guide is in the forum somewhere if you need it.
[Streak 5 General] fone_fanatic:
Also you can go here http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/ download the update.zip of whatever build your attempting to flash, put that on your sd card, then in clockwork recovery, use the update with .zip option and it should do the same.
[Streak 5 General] carpy47:
hi

thanks for the help

how do I know which update to use at present I have a muii 2.2.1

and would like to get it back to 2.2

regards
[Streak 5 General] zac68:
I think 318 (http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/318/) is the best 2.2 Retail Rom option otherwise 351 (http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/351/) for the latest 2.2.2 Retail Rom. I don't know what baseband you have or if the update.zip files install the required baseband when you flash it. If they don't you'll need the 00 baseband for the retail roms and that will require flashing the stock recovery first and running fastboot to install the baseband file (amss.mbn)

Zac
[Streak 5 General] carpy47:
i have finally used an update zip and it loads fine but the screen says android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly is there something I have missed

thanks again

ok did a factory reset and it appears fine
[Streak 5 General] zac68:
Go back to recovery and do a Factory Reset from the first screen, not the one in Clockwork recovery. After that I would recommend going into the Clockwork recovery and clearing the Dalvik Cache and fixing permissions.

Zac
[Streak 5 General] trichard:
Hi

I have downloaded http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/354/update.zip and after that I power off the phone , hold down the Volume UP/DOWN button . Power on ...

And select the update.zip file....

Half way it stated that it FAIL ... and phone reboot ....

Did I do wrongly ?
[Streak 5 General] zac68:
The zip file could be corrupted. Maybe try re-downloading the file and retry.
