Hello all, I am using Evil D's Sense 3.0 rom and so far it is perfect, but my only issue thus far is the blurry pics that show on the contacts/mms apps, i was wondering if anyone has been able to find a fix for that, as i havent had this problem on any other sense ROM...thanks in advance!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
Sense 3.0 was developed for at least qHD phones. Since our phone isn't qHD, the ratios are going to be off. Putting things out of place and making some pictures blurry. Nothing can really be done about it.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E-M12:
ah ok, im willing to live with it :), thanks for the response :)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
I'm sure the developer is working on, trying to resize thing. But stuff takes time. So just hang it there. I;)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E-M12:
lol yea im definitely going to hang in there, i wanted the sensation, until i saw that it can run on other devices fairly well, so im glad i dont have to drop an insane amount of money for yet another headset lol i hate the 6-month phone's shelf life
[Thunderbolt General] Bwangster12:
So, this thread is not about when the Thunderbolt will get Cyanogenmod support, because I can search and find that.

This thread is about how "official" CM support works. When I go to the Cyanogenmod site, I see a list of officially supported devices, which if I guess, are made, maintained and released by their team? I've been following along Android forums for almost a year now and see a lot of phone users trying to give their respective phones a CM port or CM rom to use. I presume these are "unofficial" and are being put together "aftermarket" by outside developers.

How and will the Thunderbolt get adopted by the Cyanogemod team and be one of those official phones listed on their site?

I'd take the root plunge for a rom like CM, which seems to be heavily updated and maintened and has the updater which would make updates for me very easy.
[Thunderbolt General] macewank:
The thunderbolt will eventually.. I believe the reason it's not "supported' right now is because it's still in alpha. They don't state official support until they have a solid build.
[Thunderbolt General] marc314:
My location is in montevideo urugauy according to CM7 lol.. On the map it shows me my location but somehow it thinks im in uruguay.. Any fix for this?
[Thunderbolt General] necosino:
Clearly you must move to Uruguay.
[Thunderbolt General] nerozehl:
At this point CM7 support is mostly anecdotal experiences by users to assist other users.
[Thunderbolt General] obeygiant:
Mine had me in Paris somewhere. Get GPS Status from the market. From the app hit menu, tools, manage a-gps state. Hit reset. Then go through those again but hit download data this time. After that and a refresh, it should all be well.
[Thunderbolt General] marc314:
Thanks man.. Let me try this out..
[Thunderbolt General] Bwangster12:
Where is it even listed in alpha?

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version#HTC_Thunderbolt

All I see are messages in the Wiki that the Thunderbolt is not yet supported. I am not talking about the port(s) that are here in XDA... I'm referring to a release by the CM team.

I am not rooted, and haven't played around with Rom Manager, but is an alpha "official" version of CM listed in there for the Thunderbolt?
[Thunderbolt General] macewank:
slayher is part of the CM team and the thunderbolt CM7 he's building is the "official" version. it's not listed under the officially supported devices because the code isn't anywhere near stable enough to be considered a daily driver. it's buggy, things don't work like they should. it's not release quality software yet.

all CM builds are technically ports. the base CM code doesn't just magically work on all phones by itself. there are specific people assigned as vendor maintainers that are generally responsible for making sure that CM works on their individually assigned device. see http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Community_Members for a list.

edit: i'm sure I did a poor job of explaining it and there's way more to it than what I described, but that's the gist. hope it makes sense
[Thunderbolt General] bucklyv:
The CM7 alpha for the Thunderbolt is awesome. I have yet to find anything that it does not do well... except wireless tether..:(
[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
4g, wifi for some people, battery life, soft buttons lighting up, call volume, getting settings to stick.

Just some of the bugs still plagueing CM7 for the thunderbolt.
[Thunderbolt General] The Flying Penguin:
It seems to be coming along nicely from my end user perspective. I'm running the pre-alpha pre-release on my TB from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1049542

I've been using it as a daily driver because of its Netflix support. One of the users in that thread posted a kernel and wifi fix which seem to greatly improve wifi and data connectivity, at least for me. I can deal with some minor bugs and annoyances. I'm just happy to have Netflix.
[Thunderbolt General] Bwangster12:
So once it becomes more stable, is considered a daily driver and presumably added to their support page....it will show up in rim manager and have the cyanogenmod updater support?

Right now for updates, you havta just keeping flashing the time from ur flash card right?
[Thunderbolt General] macewank:
yep! i don't suspect it will be too much longer before we've got official support. exciting times
[Thunderbolt General] khanam:
It's the only LTE phone. That's why it will take a while to get all bugs cleaned to be in the supported list.

Sent from my thunderbolt
[Thunderbolt General] Bwangster12:
Thats fine... didn't mean this to sound like a pushy thread. I thought the description given in this thread was fantastic, thanks. I was unclear as to what exactly happens when CM releases a rom.

I haven't rooted yet, but am sort of waiting for CM. From what I've read, it seems to be one of the most stable and maintained roms available and one of my main concerns is "quality" and maintaince/updates. Some of the roms available now sound good, but I don't wanna deal with having to be flashing left and right when new updates get released by Verizon.

My assumption with CM is that I can put install it with Rom manager and worry about updates using their Updater, right? Any GPS issues, battery concerns, whatever would be dealt with by CM?
[LG Optimus 2x] cas64:
Hi guys and gals

Recently my Quadrant Standard has begun to hang for more than 30-40 seconds when it comes to the task "I/O - Database writes". This is a new "problem" and it still occurs even if I wipe cache and data and reinstall different ROM's.

The total score is around 2400-2500 where it used to be around 2850-3100 earlier with the same ROM (TK-ROM v1.2)

What could this problem be? I am thinking about formatting internal SD and just start completely fresh, but I have no idea if that will solve the problem. Any help is appreciated

Claus :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] chimpmonk:
When I use the pen to annotate pdfs on the Flyer, the width of the ink is WAY too large, even when I use the pen menu to turn it to the smallest setting.

The ink width is so wide that it's unusable for me. I was really hoping to read/annotate on the Flyer for work, but this seemingly small issue makes it impossible.

When I zoom in on a PDF, the ink width scales up proportionally. Ink shouldn't do this! I want to zoom in so i can write a small footnote in the margin, but the ink just gets bigger the more I zoom in.

Anyone else notice this? Anyone using the pen to annotate PDFs, and if so, how is it working for you?

One more thing: I can't erase or undo my highlights in the PDF viewer.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Bxsteez:
Yea. I have noticed this problem as well. It seems like the inking is only meant for highlighting or something. Even the choice of pens is limited in the application.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] 3Labs:
Yes, only one pen and even the smallest size is pretty big in PDF Viewer. Note that in Polaris office there is only one pen too but the small size is a nice small size and works well---problem there is portability. Ink does not show up in Word once inked on and sent to one's computer.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] 3Labs:
Here is what happens on mine in terms of erasing:

1. can erase if I have not yet saved

2. can erase if I save without flattening

3. cannot erase if I save flattened.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] chimpmonk:
I am able to erase ink under the conditions you listed, but I can't seem to erase highlighting unless I exit without saving. Same for you, I suspect?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gathering:
I bought the Flyer to read and annotate my PDFs at university.

But with that thick strokes it's pretty unusable at the moment.

I would like to have the annotation feature (annotations at the right side) from the ebook-app in the pdf-viewer and a much thinner pen.

Do you think HTC is going to give us an update soon?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Shigster:
I haven't had the problem when I zoom in. I am able to zoom in and write between the lines of text really well and when I zoom out I can still read it.

I haven't found a solution for deleting highlighting unless you exit without saving...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gathering:
You can erase the highlight by clicking on it with your finger.

In the "Pop-Up" there are buttons to select the highlight-color and one button to delete the highlight (in my German Version it's called "Markierung entfernen" which means something like "delete mark").

Unfortunately i haven't found a way to delete all the highlight at once yet.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] targett:
Not got one yet but have read (and seen on YouTube) that if you press harder the line is thicker and the lighter you press the thinner the line - Maybe that works in pdf viewer too???

Good luck
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] nebaneba:
I tried it at bestbuy today. The freehand inking pen does not seem pressure sensitive. You can pick different thicknesses for the pen, and it stays at that thickness. The thinnest line is actually rather thick, like 10-ish pixels at the highest zoom level.

In the brush popup menu, there is one of the menus that allows you to undo/redo strokes.

BTW, can somebody upload an annotated pdf? I would like to open it in a few desktop pdf viewers.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] chimpmonk:
thanks for all the comments thus far.

there is no pressure sensitivity for the pen in the pdf app for me, and the line is jittery, like the tablet is sampling the pen location too infrequently.

my view is that the pdf software was rushed for release and is in such an unfinished state that it is unusable. For me this negates the entire purpose of owning the Flyer.

HTC had better release a working version of their promised pdf annotator or they are going to lose customers and gain bad rep. on the other hand if they respond with updates in a timely manner.. they'll gain the kind of good publicity you can't buy.

as it stands, i will be telling my colleagues to stay away from HTC.

to those looking for good pdf annotation for android, try an app called ezPDF.

anyone have any other useful apps to recommend?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] solsearch:
Did you report this to HTC? You're more likely to get a fix if you report it (and even more likely if lots of people report it).
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gathering:
I created two pdf-files with the same content. The difference is that one is saved "flattened" and the other one is save with "two layers". (HTC offers these two methods to save the pdf).

I was extremely surprised when i just tried to open the two files with PDF-XChange Viewer. There are NO ANNOTATIONS to see.

@solsearch: Yes, i wrote to the German HTC-Support yesterday.

At the moment the Flyer is nothing more than any other (cheaper) tablet.

The pen is nice but much more a gimmick than a useful feature for my purposes.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] nebaneba:
@Gathering: thanks for the upload! I opened both of them on Evince (linux) and Foxit Reader (windows) and both picked up the annotations. I was also able to manipulate the highlights in Foxit. The different highlighting colors looks good! I wasn't able to change color at BB yesterday.

The flattened and non-flattened appear the same in Foxit though. I can manipulate each individual annotation... don't know what the separate layer did.

I'm very interested in using the Flyer to replace my current ebook reader. I can compromise on the thickness issue as long as it's good enough in terms of general writing precision.

I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't add text notes to the pdf, but the software is actually made by Foxit, so I don't know how well updates will be for the pdf reader.

EDIT: has anybody tried out ezPDF reader? The video reviews look fantastic. Unfortunately it won't take advantage of HTC Scribe, but I'm definitely considering using it to complement the regular pdf viewer if I get the Flyer.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kcchen:
I do a lot of work through PDFs also, and I have no issues with how the pen interacts in PDF Viewer. The line with is a little thick, but it worked well for what I need it to do. Usually the notes are for me and I like the "pen and paper feel".

It would be nice to be able to type comments... I think that's what people miss. Because I tusually don't "write" notes into PDFs on my computer... No digitizer.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] solsearch:
They are also readable in the default Adobe reader on Windows (it gives a small error message but everything showed up from what I could see), this means that anyone should be able to view the notes (since I assume the default Adobe readers on other OSs will also work).
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lawrennd:
Thickness depends on Portrait/Landscape

I too am frustrated by the pen thickness issue in the PDF viewer. Annotating PDFs was the main reason for buying the HTC Flyer. One thing to note though, the thickness you get also depends on whether you are in portrait or landscape. I get a thinner pen in Portrait than Landscape. I get slightly better annotations, therefore, when I use it in Portrait mode.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] sealite:
Same here, the ink gets too thick in the pdf documents
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] chimpmonk:
I encourage everyone to report this issue to HTC, and possibly reference this thread when you do.

As for me (the OP), I am not waiting around an indefinite amount of time for HTC to fix their broken Flyer PDF annotation software. After all, they have not even acknowledged it's broken or that a fix is coming.

I can't even "fix" the problem myself by writing a better annotator app because HTC hasn't released the Flyer ink SDK.

So I returned my Flyer to bestbuy, and exchanged it for a Motorola Xoom. You can annotated PDFs on the xoom much more easily than on the Flyer- just get a piece of software called ezPDF, or try Repligo PDF. Annotation on the xoom using these programs is much nicer than the Flyer's annotator, even though the Xoom does not have native pen support.

Xoom is roughly the same price as a Flyer +pen, but the Xoom is MUCH faster, has a much better screen, and runs honeycomb 3.1 right now.

If you are using a Flyer and you have never tried a Xoom, you don't know what you're missing.

I still love the concept of the Flyer, but unfortunately the implementation is half-assed.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] nxtwrld:
I guess it depends on the way you are using it. While trying to annotate pages was useless I just zoomed in and everything was fine...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ex69:
I still have about 15 days left to return the HTC flyer to BestBuy, and if there is no movement on the PDF annotation issue, I will be returning it.

I have reported the issue to HTC, I got a basic form letter in response. Nothing helpful.

I also took time and looked for an HTC official forum of the Flyer, and was not able to find one. Maybe I am blind, but if they have one please let me know.

In the short term I am going to see how much of a pain it will be to convert the pdf's to epub, and annotate them in the ebook reader. Which seems like a better designed program.

Very happy with the flyer. But the only reason I bought it was for the PDF annotations.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] TSGM:
I wanted to bump this thread because it seems to be such a major issue (for me and for others). Is there any hope of a fix?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jamus28:
Hmm I find the PDF editor and scribe to work fine in HC. Can you be more specific about the issue your experiencing?

Are you referring to the lack of pressure support in the editor? Personally, I like it better with manual thickness settings, as I feel pressure support would be a bit messy.

Unfortunately, I don't think anyone's had any luck modifying the htc sense apps to that degree, and it doesn't seem like we'll have any more major updates for the flyer. You may be out of luck.

EDIT: are you referring to the thickness? That was updated with the latest Gingerbread update in September or whenever. This thread was started before that update. If you orient your flyer to the same orientation as the page, the smallest thickness setting is quite thin. If you zoom in, the accuracy increases accordingly.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Himmig:
Simple fix:

Invest a few bucks, get ezPDF and voila:

You can have really small inking sizes and you can resize your inking afterwards - it scales greatly!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] TSGM:
I'm running the latest Honeycomb. However, I guess the minimum thickness is still very thick for me :(

I do have a copy of ezpdf already. I was trying my best to go with PDF Viewer because, well, I guess the native Scribe support seemed better (eraser, different colors can be accessed easily, etc.). However, not only am I disappointed in PDF Viewer's ability to write small annotations, but also I'm disappointed in the rasterizing of the output (lines are craggy). Ezpdf's writing is much smoother. This, not to mention that ezpdf has much better rendering of large documents and scanned documents.

I think from now on I'll go with ezpdf. :mad:

Like I've said in other threads: it's a real shame that HTC rushed the scribe pen integration. It's a shame that those of us who have invested in the pen and tablet, have to resort to third party software, which does thing right, but where the scribe pen becomes just another capacitive pen.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Emama:
though ezpdf is a good pdf reader,

stock PDF view is still the better way to write due to the native support of the scribe

I find it so hard to write on ezpdf, and the result is just the same thick line

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rooster486:
Hi,

So i have to return the phone due to a hardware problem but my question is what about the custom roms etc i installed. I did the normal process of installing HardSPL, updated radio and new cooked rom.

So to return the phone to its original state is it enough just to download the official rom from htc, will that put everything back to normal or do i have to reinstall something else to undo the HardSPL & radio??

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rooster486:
So i have answered half my question and reinstalled the original SPL, but what about the radio? is that something i need to worry about?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverwind:
If you flash your CORRECT STOCK ROM, it includes the radio already.
