hiko36: I think you need to buy some clues. Android is supposed to be a complete phone operating system. Its not supposed to be a half backed programming kludge that needs its users to bolt on program after program just to get it down the road correctly.

The Ice cream analogy is way off too. Vanilla is the 2nd most popular flavor after chocolate, it does not need anything else. Android itself needs to do all the basics, the middle, and the advanced.

Android is supposed to be moving to be a fully formed mainstream OS, where you don't need a team of homebrew tack-ons just for basics like proper multi-tasking, program termination, and battery management.

If you think that developers all want to spend their time making 50 different battery managers, and 50 different task managers, fine. But most developers want to be making more significant thinks that basic OS features.

Thinking that Android is not for the average user is just dumb. Look at the Mac OS, it does everything for the average user, and allows most high end users do what they need too. A good OS does it all.

You seem to want to keep Android in the junk heap of bastardized tack ons, and hobbled and broken down enough that it can not be run well and complete on its own. Again I think most developers would disagree, and want a complete framework to build high order programs on top of. Come on, a phone OS that is clueless to task management, and battery management....and you say this is how it was intended.

I am sure your chrome wheels, gold plated chrome, neon light under the doors, combined with a big whale tail, make you think you have the fastest car on earth, heck you even have a big subwoofer too....but you look like a kid getting his first thrill by all the options at Baskin Robbins.

Ahhhhh yes you see the beauty of this system is that it does not work by itself, the real genius is that it requires its users to create fixes for things the developers never anticipated, things like needing the battery to last long, and other crazy esoteric things like that. Sure some may want it to work by itself, but why bother, you can be an advanced user hoping to figure out how to make your phone work....its the future baby...it comes broken right out of the box, and Android has millions of users attempting to do the same thing as each other, getting it to work right...instead of doing something new and different on what already is designed better.

hiko36 I am sure your conspiracy theory of its an army of trolls against you is correct, your 20 sided die foretold it, only you know how to make your phone work... an-guard

Now why do I need to buy a bigger battery because my OS is so stupid? Oh I see there are 100 apps for that, and 100% of them have users saying it screwed up there phone, and how they got screwed....its just such and adventure.

NO. Most developers want Android to be a robust total solution, where manufacturer skinning has enough standards so Apps can run across all devices without issues.

hiko36 no matter how you dress up the bugs of Android, they don't become features. The tuxedo solution has failed
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mr.orange303:
You need the clue. I've been a g1 owner on day 1.

That's android day 1.

The phone has ALWAYS been about how you can make it yours.

And if you have issues with battery a 4" + dual core maybe the wrong opt for you.

Like the others have SAID MANY TIMES you are looking for the iPhone.

Android is more likened to a PC.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hiko36:
I'm going to take the moral high road and not attack your grammar as you so unnecessarily attacked my car and personal life.

On those two subjects, I drive a bone stock 2002 Volkswagen Jetta and have never in my life played any game that involved a 20 sided die. Anyway.

Android is a complete operating system. Always has been. It's never been lacking in any feature that any other OS can hold over it's head. That being said you can take any feature you don't like and change it.

When you get down to brass-tacks, probably 90% of what is on Android is homebrew. That goes for the iPhone as well, though. It's all about people trying to create what they see is appropriate when they feel something is lacking.

Your mac analogy just highlights how much of a troll you are so the only comment I'm making on that front is that my home computer is a Macbook.

What's funny about your tirade is that people laud a Vanilla android experience. If you go and check any review, certain phones will get many more accolades simply for being devoid of a carrier/device makers fluff. The G2x was one of those phones.

If you're using a task manager with any current iteration of Android, you're an idiot. There are NUMEROUS places that tell you this is not necessary and in many cases harmful to the operation of the system.

Oh lord, I've already bored of this.

All in all, I'm sure I'm just wasting my time.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mr.orange303:
Well a task killer is bad. A task manager can be OK.

As long as that manager is not a killer in reality.

The app Active Apps does not kill programs.

It works exactly like the galaxy s stock program.

http://market.android.com/details?id=com.elnware.ActiveAppsAds

This app does not kill those background apps.

Only what you open yourself.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bdkinney:
Dude are you like this in real life? It must be lonely being so right when the world is so wrong...

But seriously...manufacturer skinning FIXES Android? :rolleyes:

You have the right to be wrong...but do you have to be such a D-Bag about it?

Sorry...off topic...some things just irritate me...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tombaker1:
Darling, you are missing my point, which was, Android needs to be a complete solution by itself, where it does not need bolt on kludges mickey mouse tweaks to have it do the basics. The OP was talking about what was missing. Were you and others piped in with "If you want something that works right out of the box, get an iPhone." Re: Skinning sentence again....point I am trying to make is that with good standard, the role out of Gingerbread and the next should be easier., and faster. I would think most developers would want to see posts like, bug sheets, and suggestion.

Programmers and developers do their best work, when given good suggestions and high quality bug sheets....which is what the OP intended.

I'm not a huge fan of the HTC messaging app an I'm kinda missing the vanilla gingerbread one. Anyone know a way of installing the vanilla one without root?

I've downloaded the mms.apk but the HTC app is installed under the same name so you can't uninstall/update it without SU. Is it possible to somehow repackage it as a new application that would run separately?

I bought a htc hd2 from ebay, it came with Android on it. The phone kinda works perfect, but would of preferred windows on it. Is there any way to go back!

I tried a few walk through's that just did nothing to the phone,.

I'll try to give as much info as I can

When I turn phone on it goes to a load screen, then says Dark Force Team

Android 2.2

baseband version 12.42.50.11u_2.15.50.14

kernel- 2.6.32.15-g66fed7-dirtycotulla-cotulla-desktop#2

build 2.29.405.5 cl293415 release-keys

software number 2.229.405.5

browser version 3.1

When I power off and hold volume Down The bootload screen says

Pb81120 hx-b3

Spl-2.08 hspl 8g xe

I have no clue what any of this means, Just know I want the original windows on phone, everything I have tried has failed.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efebe:
After you turn on ur phone with the volume down key pressed, its gonna take u to the bootload screen (the rainbow screen) ... plug ur phone to ur computer, and flash ur hd2 with any winmo6.5 ROM
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2ndarian:
Spl-2.08 hspl 8g xe suggests almost every ROM for T is suitable,if you have a wm6.5 ROM,change it into "leoimg.nbh",then press volume down and power to start phone,soon you can see a situation of flashing in screen,press power to do it so you will get your windows later
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gency:
IMO you shouldn't switch back to Windows

If you want to switch back to Windows Mobile, perform a hard reset by holding down both the Vol-Up and Vol-Down buttons at the same time as you press the power button. This will take you to a screen that says "Delete all phone and account data" or something along the lines of this. Two screens will pop up after this, on both, press Vol-Up as prompted.

Although you would like to switch to Windows, I would discourage it, as the Windows Mobile Marketplace has been discontinued, and in turn limits the use of your phone.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] just4uzzy:
Hi, thanks for the idea But it didn't work as advised. My data's are still the same.

That's holding onto the lower and upper vol button with power button.

thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister B:
Hard reset won't work as you have nand android so a reset would just reset Android ...

Going back to WM6.5 is good idea & no market is no problem as a simple search will bring up all the apps you need as cabs & with a lot of feedback on quality & best versions unlike the 5h1te on android market.

You should be able to flash from pc if you have ActiveSync(XP) or WMDC6.1(Vista,W7.W8)

*Before flashing confirm your HD2 type as EU version (all white icon hard keys) or TMOUS HD2 (geen call & red end keys)

** If have TMOUS extra care is needed as flashing wrong radios wil leave device bricked.

1. Download a Stock Rom or Custom ROM using links from HD2 Wiki

2. Enter Bootloader Mode by taking the battery out, then put it back in and hold down the 'Volume Down' button while briefly pressing the power button.

3. After the phone enters the Bootloader Screen, plug in the usb cable so it says usb at the bottom of the screen

4. Run the Stock Roms .exe file (or run the customruu.exe file of the Custom Rom you want to flash)

* This will flash a Stock Rom and Radio(if use original ROM with radio included) while keeping your HardSPL untouched *

You may be wise use the CleanEx RV standard v1.02 custom ROM as gives a very original generic ROM but with many bug fixes & smoother running.

All other tools such as HSPL4 for installing a new SPL or HSPL & Activesync & WMDC6.1 can be found in HD2 Wiki too if you have a little browse ...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Photoelectric:
This is very helpful, but I still have some questions. I'd like to go back to a stock 6.5 Windows ROM, because my phone has a number of bad NAND blocks at this point, which have been rendering it very unstable even with older stable Android ROMs. I have HSPL 2.08 installed and the phone is T-Mo US version.

From what I understand, I need to have a running sync connection with Windows Mobile Device Center to flash a stock ROM, no? When pressing volume down, I get into the HSPL bootloader mode, and it connects as "USB", and the WMDC status says "disconnected". Is there some special way of getting it into the proper flashing mode before running the stock ROM .exe?

And also, for the U.S. version of the stock ROM, it looks like it doesn't come bundled with a radio. Do I install the radio before or after flashing the Windows ROM?

EDIT: looks like just running the .exe flashed the 6.5 ROM just fine, and it did come with a radio bundled :)

EDIT #2: but... big problem is that the SIM card is not being recognized :( "SIM card is missing" error.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister B:
The official US TMOUS rom came packaged with radio, you could try reflashing radio (look in HD2 wiki, also one in my signature).

Highly likely your no sim error could be due to bad blocks/hardware, try obvious things too such as cleaning sim contacts & perhaps adding tape to back of sim so pushes harder on contact pins.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Photoelectric:
Thank you--that was a major "derp" on my part (inserted the SIM card incorrectly, trying to be fast). Apologies for forgetting to update my post. Everything is working now!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndrewSh:
Stock rom won't help you to fight against bad blocks :)

You may try to perform Task29 before flashing the rom. Besides - any custom rom is better than stock because it has smaller size than TMOUS stock.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] HinotoriBR:
That is impossible, as the version of DSP in Milestone/Droid OMAP chip only support encoding/decoding up to 720x480 (some ppl say it is possible to squeeze a little bit more resolution, but no more than 800 and so colums and max 480 lines), and even a highly overclocked ARM CPU is not capable of encoding 720p video in real time.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dread This Day:
Seriously? CDMA phones, like the Fascinate, are not equipped to do data and voice simultaneously. You'd have to get a 4G phone.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adr0it:
Until more CDMA phones get the proper hardware/software that allow you to use 2 radio connections simultaneously or until 4G covers everything and Verizon starts using voice over LTE, this feature will not be vastly available.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imnuts:
Alternatively, you could hope that more phones use SVDO modems for CDMA, but since SVDO has been around for a while, and only the Thunderbolt has it afaik, that is probably useless as well.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yaotl:
Probably an oddly worded question, but can't really figure out the proper way to ask since I'm not a programmer.

Something that has bugged me about the atrix that I miss from my nexus one is the headset controls. The N1 wired headset controls were perfect. Single click for music player, double for skip, and single for phone answer (even if music was playing). Nowhere near that with the atrix.

The default action is to call up a voice search tool (either vlingo or the built in one). There are programs to circumvent this, but they don't work as smoothly or are a little fidgety.

I've used alogcat to see what the button press calls and it seems to go to Voice_Command regardless of whether I've frozen the voice command apps with TiBackup or not (unless I'm missing one, but I've frozen all voice search apps I noticed).

Is there any way to change the default intent action from voice_command to media_button? Is this a kernel issue (have no idea what's in the kernel)?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marko!:
