[General Questions and Answers] excubitoris:
I have looking for Android music player for a month now. All I can find are some junk and creations of the controlfreaks so if they where using label Microsoft then most of the people here would probably ditched android system alltogheter - its actually bloody pathetic.

Is Android is supposed to be better then Microsoft? More control for the user then stuff from Redmond?

So user can decide where he likes his music and in what format and in what order it will be played?

Insted we get stuff that stays resident, opens up when he likes, starts scanning the system up start. Don not let people choose folders to keep they music and from witch to play it. Some kind-of let You do it but they have other problems like force close and etc.

Is it so bloody hard to make player witch DO NOT start scanning music every time when its starts when You want just play one lousy peace of music. When I push button CLOSE that means CLOSE not "stay resident in services, in system tray (or whatever You call that ribbon up there) or whatever HE chooses do to. And MOST of them eve DO NOT HAVE CLOSE button - WHY???

When I want play my music BY THE FOLDER it does not even give that option (like player VLC in win-world), or they do not let my create a playlist from folder I choose. Some of them do not let create playlist if its not choosen about creator how to create a playlist.

I like free stuff but I allso understand that nothing in this world is not FREE - except for Sunshine and some people want to make even this payable to them but this is another forum topic all togheter.

So - I am ready to buy if this is necessary - but there is nothing to buy because if something looks nice You cant tested it. Software is not pie in the shop or even shoes - You try You buy. There are possibilities to make app close or even uninstall after TRIAL but this must be FULL FEATURE trial or it is not a trial but like in the bakery You are shown a cherry and a egg and You must make decision is this good pie or not - or just by shoe lace make up do this shoe fits or not.

Is there ANY developer out there able to make nice simpel music player with close button wich actually CLOSES the app, wich allows making playlist directly from folder - (option menu - make playlist, play folder), wisch is NOT starting looking media upon start up but waits when You - USER telling him to do so. Is it to much to ask???

Because memory "less problems" are fading away - Galaxy has 16gigs (+ external SD) and other phones are catching up then basically even the size do not matter much anymore. Just make ONE great app wich is FOR THE USERS not for show " I do can make a player". Is there someone out there that can take a hint from mentioned VLC player and make one nice player everyone can enjoy?

Sorry my English - I am not native speaker so I hope my points and requests where understandable.

PS. There is few more nice players in win-world to take a hint but why we here should get less???

[Galaxy 3 General] codenamezero:
Hello,

I am trying to flash a better ROM for my sister's Galaxy 3, currently the one came with the phone is super laggy and slow. I am coming from the X10 Mini Pro forum, and we only have like 3 custom ROM there, but it seems Galaxy 3 have quite a lot more choices...

I am wondering which one is the currently most stable ROM here that have the lag issue fixed? I flash my X10 quite often, but i don't plan on flash and re-flash my sister's phone. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. :)

Thank you.
[Galaxy 3 General] reddead66:
i would recommend jpm+jit enabled.....

i am cureently using the same....and i am quite happy with it....
[Galaxy 3 General] codenamezero:
I am a advance user, like i said, i flash my X10 pretty much every time the xda developer come out with a hotfix or a newer version of their ROM, the current ROM that i am running on my X10 have stuff like hybrid Foyo/Gingerbread, overclock, undervolt, jit etc. Is not 100% stable, and i need to force close some stuff once in a while, but i have no problem with it.

I don't mind flashing a custom ROM, as long as one of its release is stable (since this will be for my sister's phone, which is a noob).

However, won't the "stock XXJPM or JPN" still have the lag issue though? I thought all the OEM ROM have the lag issue?
[Galaxy 3 General] kyrillos13:
try my rom :)
[Galaxy 3 General] jazux:
i would suggest destiny! :eek:
[Galaxy 3 General] codenamezero:
Can't, glanced through it,

"This ROM is fast.. no known bugs(only the camera bug), restarts, laggs etc.."

My sister uses the camera for SURE.
[Galaxy 3 General] jazux:
hmm... i really tought it was stable... then you can make your own custom rom via Team Lambent Corrosion kitchen ;) and if you want ROM without problems, a "buggless beast" then dont flash any ROMs :D
[Galaxy 3 General] damien91:
I suggest it too, it has Fugumod, the latest firmware and some bug fixes...
[Galaxy 3 General] PolarSoul:
Shouldn't you be plugging your own ROM? ;)

That aside, I think stock JPM will do her a treat. Or then deodexed + JIT + Fugutweaks. The camera is an issue pretty much in every rom and it can be avoided by disabling the location stuff. Or it could be someone has a fixed Camera.apk laying around somewhere. If so, let me know, I want it. :p
[Galaxy 3 General] jazux:
no ;) i was thinking that destiny might be the most stable ROM here and thats why i suggested it ;) and as i said EVERY rom has bugs ;) but i tought destiny didnt... and people should just try GreenMods ROM i dont want to say its the best, i know when people test it they will love it :D i dont have to recommend it :)
[Galaxy 3 General] codenamezero:
Hum.. i know X10 Mini Pro's ROM has Camera.apk that came with it, and works, but i prefer the Sony Ericsson's SECMCamera.apk instead. So i swapped it out. I wonder if that Camera.apk would work on Galaxy 3...

I think i will try to download and gather up the above mentioned 2 ROMs, and try it out this weekend then...

[Android Themes] m4a1rifle:
I have created a theme pack using "Suave" style icon found in the Internet. Thought I would share to fellow XDA community.

DL the first version APK here: http://db.tt/74NJMGV

Update #1: View Post

You may use as it is. Due to my work I won't be able to commit on extending the apps coverage.

However, you may use my eclipse project as a template (I just included the "res" folder and files, saving you time to start from scratch;)): http://db.tt/DCyGtQR

using that with the tutorial over here: Create Launcher Pro Theme APK using Eclipse

All the Icons included in this APK:

Edit: some icon in the screenshot is actually the default icon, it's near "Suave"-like so I didn't bother to change it. Also some stock apps icon not included because I have hidden it from showing in the launcher.

Edit #2: get the 9000+ suave icon here: http://www.andreas-heiberg.com/Blog/2010/06/25/freebie-the-complete-suave-pack-v4/

Help me to help you, please list out the activity of the apps you want, to find the correct activity there going to be some guessing and trial and error, for example:

finding the right activity for stock browser:

1. Long press on empty space in homescreen -> add Shortcuts -> Activities

2. Find the correct name for the app, in this case "Browser".

3. Expand the Browser, you will get a list of things aka activities.

4. Give it your best shot on which activities is the correct 1, and add it to your home screen.

5. Launch the shortcut you just created, if it opens up the exact same screen as you open Browser in the app drawer, 90% it is correct. In this case the correct activity name for the browser is "com.android.browser.BrowserActivity"

note: in step 5. i say 90% correct because some app have few activities that opens up the same screen. So if you found such behavior, name both the activities name for me.

Don't forget to click Thanks button if you like it ;)

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matthew_STL:
So i recently flashed the new "stock" gingerbread ROM, but it comes with all the bloatware. I was trying to remove the bloatware through windows command prompt/adb but after i push the old hack to get root (psneuter) and try to run it, i get the error: Failure to set prot mask <Inappropriate ioctl for device>. How do i get root access though adb with the new gingerbread rom (The adb shell still shows # instead of $)?

My TB is still rooted on the phone, i just want to remove the stock apps from my computer which is a lot faster. Thanks
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalrym05:
Why don't you just flash a debloated gingerbread rom? And if your phones rooted just use root explorer from market to delete system apps.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DontCome2MyHouse:
The Thunderbolt has better than average memory than most smartphones out there, so I wanted to know what would be the optimal memory usage setting in LauncherPro.

My current settings:

Memory Usage Preset: Medium (should I go to High since TB RAM is so high?)

Use homescreen caches (checked)

Homescreen cache type: Normal

Prevent force-closes (checked)

I do NOT have "Build caches as needed" and "Clear caches on exit" checked. What should I do here?

I'm looking for a smoother experience and faster redrawing on waking the phone.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fronc:
I'm also curious about this, however ever since flashing BAMF's GB rom, I can't see how my home screens could be any faster. It really flies.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DontCome2MyHouse:
I'm still on BAMF Remix v1.6.3. I won't flash BAMF GB until its out of beta.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feedhead:
Running LP+ v0.8.6 on CM7 (2.3.4 Test1) with Imo's latest AOSP Kernal (v2.5.2).

I have no redraw issues at all. Here is my setup.

Memory usage preset is Moderate.

Use homescreen caches (Checked)

Homescreen cache type: Normal

Build caches as needed (Checked)

Clear caches as needed (Checked)

Prevent force-closes (Checked)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fronc:
Safe practice, and I can't fault you for that... but trust me when I say, if you wipe and flash you will never complain about your redraw issues ever again. It's really, REALLY nice, and noticeably, nay, BLATANTLY faster/snappier/more efficient.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] vincentp83:
For those of us who don't want a fat new battery door on our phones, but want to improve on the stock battery, it seems there aren't many choices. Currently there is the overpriced and underhyped "1600"mAh from Seidio which I don't think I'm willing to pay for considering the reviews I've seen.

There's a 1650mAh from Mugen Power which I know very little about. I considered it, but for $45 and without any knowledge of its performance, this is a tough purchase for me. Anybody tried this one?

There's another one at HTC Express that's claiming 1700mAh, and I haven't really found a whole lot of reviews on it aside from a forum post or two in other places. Has anybody given this battery a shot? They're pretty cheap, (2 batteries and a wall charger for $35) so I think I might try it just for kicks.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] tedkord:
I got the HTC Express set - two "1700mAH" batteries and a wall charger. Paid about $20 shipped on ebay from chichitec.

In short, the wall charger is crap. Half the time, the indicator light doesn't light, so I'm not sure if it's charging or not. It feels like cheap plastic.

Let me get straight to the point about the batteries - they're the same rating as the stock, the only thing 1700mAH about these is the writing on the labels. They're 1350mAH batteries like the one that came with it. They don't last any longer than the stock, maybe a bit less, but not enough to tell a difference.

That said, $20 for two backup batteries isn't too bad. I just don't know how long they will last - cheap batteries tend to die more quickly.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] facted:
I got the same package for about $25 on amazon (via chickitek). Anyway, the charger works well for me and I haven't had the same issues as the previous poster. The batteries definitely are lasting as long if not longer than the stock. I'm rooted w/ Bamf 1.6.3 and undervolted a bit and I'm still at about 50-65% after about 12-16 hours. With that being said, I mainly am on Wifi so very little 4G.

I tried the Seidio battery that claims 1600/1700 and it basically wouldn't allow my GPS to work. Haven't had the same issues with these and on top of that, these are MUCH cheaper.

they probably won't last forever as the last poster mentioned, but they're doing great for now...just rotating the three batteries I now have.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Jaxidian:
Ditto the above posters. No regular-sized battery available will be larger in capacity than stock. These "1700mah" batteries are some of the better replacement batteries around, but don't think for a moment that they're better than stock. For better battery life without a pregnant phone, battery stat calibration and system management (governor, undervolting, data sync scheduling, etc.) are your only options.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] crazed_z06:
Agreed 100%.

They batteries are no better than stock and the indicator lights on my charger started going in and out after 1 day of use. It does still work though.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] voxigenboy:
i have the 1600mAh Seido one and theres practically no difference between that and the stock.

i still have the stock 1500mAh and 2 MyTouch 4G 1500mAh batteries as well.

pretty much i keep them all charged and when one craps out i switch to another.

[EDIT]: oh and yeah, you can use MyTouch 4G aka HTC Merge aka 42100 batteries in the Thunderbolt

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joelcableguy:
Maybe this has been covered, but I googled and searched the best I could and I don't seem to see any others talking or affected by this. I just received my Gtab and followed everything from "Nflashing" to upgrading from Stock 1.1 to 1.2 then on to "Honeycomb", even with stock I noticed the wifi is extremely slow when connected to my router, strange thing is I also have an "Elocity A7" tablet that pulls 17-20mb when doing a speed test, the Gtab is lucky if it gets 2mb. For the life of me I can't figure this out and couldn't find anything when I googled it either. Do I have a defective unit maybe???:confused:

So in closing, I guess always make sure to include your router in your troubleshooting.;)

Hello, I bought a unlocked&rooted nexus one with android 2.2 froyo

I'm new here but searched around to get a clear answer to this question, but was unable to due to overload of fragmented info:

Is it in any way possible or is there an easy way to let an automatically received (2-part) OTA update install on my rooted nexus froyo, with fastboot, hboot, clockworkmod?

If yes, how? because now i receive a 'E:No signature E:Verification failed' error when it's rebooting during the install process.

Is this because of the clockworkmod or what (if so, is it uninstallable..) ?

If not, what's the minimum I have to do to make the OTA update automatic install possible again ?

Many thanks & I'm very sorry if this Q has been answered a million times (in a fragmented way or not), but I just couldn't find it...
