I need help in trying to update to a hybrid prl and ##778 does not seem to be working on gingersense by wdfowty. Can anyone help?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slosh:
No one knows how
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vernox701:
Did you ask the maker of the rom
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edripiii:
type ##775## (##prl##), then six zeros will be your password to get in. Tap "update prl", choose whichever prl you've downloaded and then "ok". It will take you back to the prevoius screen. Tap on menu, then commit update.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtrippe77:
I'm in an old Alltel area (Alabama). My PRL is 52297. I was about to update to 52299. However, should I go with a hybrid prl instead? Running CM7. My signal drops in more rural areas like my house and parent's lake house but is full 4 bars in Montgomery where I work.

Also, I've tried ##775## and ##775#. On both ther operator says the number is no longer in service. What should I do?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] AudioMaster13:
As it comes time to upgrade once again, I find myself confronted my many options. The phones I am looking at are the Infuse 4g, Inspire 4g, Atrix 4g, Focus and iPhone 4. I am very partial to the Android devices and was hoping to end up with one. I currently have an iPhone 3g but want to trade up due to performance and battery life issues.

I would greatly appreciate some discussion and information on these various devices and the problems and plus's of each. I like the Atrix due to its power, battery and potential if the bootloader is ever unlocked. The Inspire is interesting due to the wide amount of development but I have sever concerns about the power in comeing years, battery life, despite ROM's and the speaker. I like the Infuse's screen, power, and, due to unlocked bootloader, development potential.

I have had Samsung "dumb" phones in the past, the SMS flawed Impression and the sub-par Solstice, so i have some concerns about Samsung phones. I like HTC but dislike them putting tiny batteries in their high end phones. Motorola is generally OK but I understand support is a bit lacking. iPhone is super reliable but I believe the OS is stale and boring. Also, i worry about the 4's future with the advent of the iPhone 5 in the coming months and, like I said, I like Androids.

Lets get some discussion going!

This is posted in the General's of all 3 phones. Excluding the Focus.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ap3604:
I currently have an iPhone 4 and have an upgrade available but if I had to choose another phone to upgrade to the only option I would really choose is the Infuse 4g, or (if I wait) the iPhone 5 or GalaxySII in September.

I love the IPS high resolution display of the iPhone 4 and the only way someone could get me to switch is with a phone that has greater outdoor readability such as SuperAmoled+. Atrix and Inspire screens just dont cut it for me.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] kornklown69:
Just upgraded from captivate to infuse and loving it...even though this thing is basically a giant captivate with a major upgraded battery, front facing camera and amazing 8 megapixal camera...this phone feels so smooth and zips... dunno if its the 1.2 gigahertz processor or just the software, though one thing i miss about my captivate is the ROM support we are starting slow in that regard but are recruiting some of the best developers from other phones so expect big things from developers on the infuse
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rjan22:
Get the infuse 4g single core better battery life, sgs2 dual core lol why you need dualcore when are you going to install photoshop for windows on a phone lol, and having dual core for for me the great disadvantage for for it is is always having to look for an outlet to charge the phone, that's what you called not being mobile, + the high price tag. Just debt use task killer on an android phone. Just use Juice Defender it saves you battery turn of wifi when not in use, and it turn of 4g too while activate edge so you still receive messages
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyMike01:
Atrix has a locked bootloader and is therefore not worth buying.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] johnnydeathmatch:
Hate to burst your bubble, but having additional cores equals better battery life.

1 core @ 100% = 1P (the amount of power it uses)

1 core @ 50% = .4P (due to greater efficiency at less than 100% operating capacity)

2 cores @ 50% each = .8P, while accomplishing the same amount of work.

I'm personally waiting to find out when the Thrill 4G will be coming out. The dual channel RAM seems to give it some strong performance. Supposed release is supposed to be Q2, att shows it as coming soon.

Other than that, the Inspire has great dev support with lots of ROMs to choose from, although I think the Infuse has better hardware and will probably have better support soon.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rjan22:
What bubble you silly butt. Your a kid right? :p
[Samsung Infuse 4G] johnnydeathmatch:
No, I'm not, which should be evident from my ability to use proper spelling and grammar. ;)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] deathpulse:
This would only be true if the software (OS and apps) were optimized for the dual core. At this point they are not and dual core phones seem to be eating batteries like candy.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
gross over simplification. now when the phone sleeps (most of the time if it is your pocket) you need to support 2 cores, not one.

also your example up there wont happen in the real world. the cpu governor wont just go to 50% and give up as to compare it to another processor. also the 2 cores will never be at similar levels and im sure they are not independantly scalable just yet. data is processed in threads. the end of the thread cant be processed before the begining it need to be done from start to finnish. although, with a pc that has hyper threading it may be able to interupt the thread to start another one and finish the first thread later you cant parellelize everything, multi core and hyper threading are much more effective if many applications are running or applications have processes that can be parallelized and are written to run then that way in multiple threads. what will happen with the simpler arm chips is more likely that there will always be one core working hard (not always the same core) and the driver will force the other core to run at the same frequency(not even the gpu is scalable independant of cpu on any platform i know of, i doubt each core is scalable independantly on the dual core stuff) but it will only be working maybe 30% of the time on shorter threads. for your assumption to be correct you would need applications written in for multi threading and more sophistication in the way the cpus are handled and a governor tuned explicitly for battery life.

dual core may reduce lag when you have a background service running though. that may feel like a significant performance increase even if the cores aren't being fully utilized, this may help with using the phone as a wifi hotspot, or downloading files while playing games. i dont think we should go beyond 2 cores for a while on phones because it is difficult to run multiple applications at the same time with little screen real estate, and any multi tasking will leave most applications idle most of the time. the whole os has been tuned for less lag even on slower hardware. that usually means fewer threads that may be longer. my home pc is a 3 core, i could have had a 4 core or waited for 6+ core but the real world difference is dependant on so many things, i just didnt see the point.

[Nook Color General] frappatino:
I've done a search and haven't found anything helpful. I'm using stock 1.2 and rooted with manualnooter. I used rom manager to flash clockwork. I boot into recovery and install phiremod from an sd card. It says it's successful, but after I reboot it boots back into recovery (I removed the sd card). I reboot AGAIN and then it gets stuck on the manualnooter loading screen. Am I missing something?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] emilianos:
Just flashed clockwork mod on rooted hd2 and would like some help on how to get into recovery with hard buttons, and not thru rom manager?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] yaely_ole:
For MAGLDR NAND Boot;

1. Download recovery with partition size for the type of rom you plan on using, see guide below if unsure.

2. Extract downloaded file and load magldr into USB Flasher mode.

3. Run DAF.exe and follow instructions

4. After completed and phone reboots, hold power key and select AD Recovery from list

5. Recovery will now load
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] silenced3:
simpler answer is to press the power on button and hold it pressed until you are in magldr menu. there you can select ad recovery
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kailkti:

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] RAND0M1ZER:
Hello, I really like the default theme installed called "System" however I want it to have the color scheme of the "Cyanbread" theme. Is there a way to do this?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Lion3494:
Please just. Just leave. And post on the right thread

Sent from my x10 on cm7 gingerbread
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] bleached45:
A few things would be helpful to know... What ROM are you on now? Stock 2.1, custom 2.2 or 2.3?

Links to the thread with the theme you want (if you found it in a thread).

If you are on 2.1 I doubt it, the framework is really different from a AOSP/Cyan ROM.

If you are on a 2.2 ROM it can probably be done, but somebody would have to port the theme.

If you are on a Cyanogen 7 ROM I believe you can just install it with the theme chooser.

You need to be a little more helpful/informative to us if you want us to be helpful/informative to you. :)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] RAND0M1ZER:
I am on CyanogenMod 7

How would I install it with the theme chooser? Can I combine themes?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] bleached45:
Ah, well that's good.

I haven't used Cyanbread but looking at the screenshots, it looks like it uses the same icons as J's CM7 it just colors them... so in essence the Cyanbread theme is what you are looking for?

Or am I misunderstanding what you want?

Cyanbread thread with screenshots of theme.

J's CM7 with some screenshots of his ROM (icon sets look the same besides color to me).

I advise not flashing the files in the Cyanbread theme thread because it is intended for another phone.

(J links to THIS thread for themes for his ROM, I see a Cyanbread or 2 in the list, but they seem to have custom percent icons).

(You can try THIS Cyanbread theme, it wasn't linked by J, but I don't think it has the custom percentage icons if you didn't want those).

Just make a backup before installing a new theme, if it doesn't work or you don't like it just restore your backup.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] RAND0M1ZER:
Yes, they are very similar however Cyanbread has some slight differences like the title background/texture.

Do you know anything about metamorph? Maybe that could achieve what i want?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] bleached45:
Yeah, I've used metamorph before, this would be able to fix this issue I believe (unless the Cyan theme chooser doesn't save the settings in the framework).

I'm more familiar with just creating update.zips...

let me download one of the .apks and see if I am able to edit them.

If so what exactly is it that you want edited? Which title background/texture?

Edit: Looks like I can edit the .apk... I just need to know what image it is you don't want.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] RAND0M1ZER:
Wow, that would be great. Thanks.

It is the background on "About Phone" here:

In the "System" theme it is just plain gray.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] realunited123:
Drag the frameworks_res_bottom_bar.png, frameworks_res_title_bar.9.png, frameworks_res_title_bar_medium.9.png,frameworks_res_title_bar_tall.9.png from cyanbread to the theme you want and push it to /system/app
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] bleached45:
Let me see what I can do, I believe I found the image in question, Now I just need to change it.

I'll post when I Think I've got it.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] bleached45:
Try the attached .apk for the theme chooser.

And please for the love of god do a backup first.

I used THIS version of Cyanbread, which shouldn't matter, but it's not posted in any X10 sections, so just in case it doesn't want to work with our phone etc etc...

All credit goes to the original poster, I just edited 3 .png files.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] RAND0M1ZER:
Thank you very much! I will try that out tommorow
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] bleached45:
ok, let me know if it works, I'm using Z's B4 so I can't test it myself.

If it doesn't work I can try to re-sign the .apk.

I hope the title bar was the only thing you wanted edited. :p
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] RAND0M1ZER:
I tried installing the apk using File Manager but it won't install. I uninstalled the original Cyanbread because I thought there might have been a conflict but that made no difference.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] bleached45:
Ok, let me try to re-sign it.

But are you supposed to install it from the theme chooser?

(I haven't used the theme chooser before, so I'm not sure what the process is).

If this doessn't work the only thing I can think of is manually installing (or forcing it with xRecovery/FreeXperia Recovery, which is how I normally install things, but I don't know where to push the .apk).

Will upload the signed .apk in a little bit.

Edit: Found where the .apk would need to be pushed if we need to try with recovery.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] realunited123:
You have to replace old Cyanbread in /system/app and set right permissions . Do not sign it.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] bleached45:
Yeah, system .apks don't need to be signed do they?

Well then I'll make a flashable .zip.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] realunited123:
Yep they do no need to be signed. Just push it to /system/app.

You can copy it by root explorer and set the permissions to rw-r-r or push using adb.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] bleached45:
Any chance you have root explorer?

Because the update-script doesn't want to work for me if I try to set permissions with it.

If you have root explorer then you can install it manually.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] realunited123:
If you are just copying an app to /system/app i don't think there is a need to set permissions. I never do.Try this zip..

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] cruzin_cruzing:
Cyanbread is one of the included "Theme Chooser" themes that come with CyanogenMod 7. You will not be able to use this theme unless you have CyanogenMod 7 or on a ROM based on CyanogenMod 7 with the Theme Chooser app. If the above requirements are met, all you must do is install the .apk theme, in this case Cyanbread, and apply it via the Theme Chooser app. No backup is neccessary because the entire purpose of the Theme Chooser was to provide a universal method to modify system icons and other system components throughout different devices.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] bleached45:
I can confirm that realunited123's .zip installs fine from recovery, still not sure if the theme will set properly.

Thanks, but this one has been modified (very slightly) and I was just stressing an update to err on the side of caution.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] realunited123:
I only created the zip. The modified theme us yours. So if it doesn't work there is something wrong with your modifications ;)

Sent from my X10
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] bleached45:
Yes, I realize that, I don't have CM7 right now to test it, that's why I said that, it wasn't in respect to you.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] realunited123:
Lol I was just kidding. I will test it myself later if it works. :)

Sent from my X10
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] bleached45:
I tried realunited123's .zip on CM7, it worked.

good teamwork.

:D
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] RAND0M1ZER:
I uninstalled the old cyanbread first
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] RAND0M1ZER:
Great, I will try that when I get home. Do install the .zip from recovery?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] bleached45:
Yeah, but I noticed that only some things were getting the new title bar (like the settings menu) but other things still showed the old top bar (root explorer for one).

The .zip works from recovery... but give me a little bit, I'm going to look to see if I missed anything and hopefully upload an updated one.

Also, you don't need to delete the old Cyanbread.apk, this .zip overwrites the old one.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] bleached45:
Ok... something strange has happened...

I fixed the issue with not all the title bars changing (didn't get the landscape ones).

BUT... When I flash the .zip it makes Cyanbread disappear from the theme chooser list.

So if you aren't on the Cyanbread theme when you flash it then you won't be able to switch to it.

If you are on the Cyanbread theme when you flash this it will update your theme.

If you don't still have Cyanbread on your phone (I believe you said you deleted it) you can flash the origcyanbread.zip (then reboot and switch to it).

After that, if you want the one with the modded title bars you can flash the modcyanbread.zip (creative names right?). :p

If you ever switch themes and want to be able to pick Cyanbread again:

Flash origcyanbread.zip

Reboot

Choose Cyanbread from the theme manager

Reboot

Flash modcyanbread.zip.

Sorry it has to be so complicated, it's my first time messing with the theme engine.

I want to get a list of must have games for my gtablet, so far I have Jet Car Stunts (works great after re-calibration in the options menu) and Angry birds...

What are some other really good games that work well on this tablet ?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] nunjabusiness:
You didn't mention which ROM you are rocking but if it isn't one of the newer ones - Stupid Zombies is hilarious fun.

Also Pocket Legends (which works great on Bottle of Smoke HC port) is extremely addicting. I spent two hours playing today and hardly noticed.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] twistid1:
Oh, I am on Bottle of Smoke 3.3 ... I assume Stupid Zombies doesn't work on BoS ? I have also noticed I am unable to download stuff through Market lately :( Maybe I should change to a more stable ROM ...
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] imdaman99:
I'm on Vegan GE and this is the list of games I got working perfectly:

Fruit Ninja

Doodle Jump

Riptide GP

TurboFly 3D

Samurai Vengeance II

They are all pretty damn good. A couple are Tegra exclusives. But they all cost between $1 and $7. Riptide is $7... a little much but its one of the best of the bunch.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] TJEvans:
Get Android Market...every day they have a free (paid)app download, yesterday's was yoo ninja. It works, but screen is upside down (have to hold tablet with softkeys in your left hand.)

Games I like:

Bolded ones were acquired free from Amazon

The following run fine in landscape mode:

Angry Birds (obviously)

backbreaker (HD) - Football, control running back ot avoid tackles

Samurai II (HD) - Scrolling mash 'em up fighting game

Hero of Sparta - same as ^^

Gem Miner: Dig Deeper - control a miner to find precious metals/gems

Dillo Hills - Android version of tiny wings...gliding and jumping game

Air Control - plan safe landing paths for planes...not as easy as it sounds

Guerilla Bob - scrolling shooter

Guns 'n Glory - pussle based kill the villagers game

Pool Break Pro - best pool game I've probably EVER played

Raging Thunder 2 - racing game, in HD

Shadow Era - Magic the Gathering type game, can be played on, or off line

Walkabout - move a little guy around to collect stars, pussle game

Virtual Table Tennis - uh...ping pong

Hungry Shark - you're a shark and you're hungry...eat things

impossible - not REALLY impossible, just annoying, jump a block to clear obstacles

The following must be run in portrait mode

Air Attack - vertical scrolling airplane shooter

Roller - Skee ball game

Spin Air Hockey - 1 or 2 player air hockey...good, but sometimes my 7 year old son doesn't get the point that multitouch is picky

Pinball deluxe - pinball, pretty cool

Meteor - kind of like Breakout from Atari, but modern and updated

The following run in landscape, but inverted, so your left hand is holding the tablet near hte softbuttons

Deathworm - the movie Tremors? yeah, you're the worm, and you kill things

Yoo ninja - make a ninja jump over gaps

There are other games that I've downloaded from Amazon that either didn't work, or I just don't play (uninstalled) BUT, the fact that they are free...I download them anyway.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Mantara:
Gun bros is a Mega time killer.

Speed x is also a ton of fun.

Open tyrien is an awesome top view flying shooter.

Dweller is my favorite old school rogue like dungeon rpg.

Super tumble is a very cool physics puzzler.

Realms of fortune is an epic first person RPG.

Frozen bubble is good classic puzzle bobble gameplay.

Shadow era is a really fun card based straregy RPG.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] raphenucleus:
The other night, I was looking for racing games that used the tablet's accelerometer to steer and the best ones I found were Riptide GP (jet ski racing) and Raging Thunder 2 (car racing). I had to adjust the steering sensitivity on both of these to get them to drive nicely, but since I did that they both work great. The handling on Riptide GP is a little bit more responsive than it is on Raging Thunder 2, but they both work pretty well after the adjustments.

Most of the other racing games I've tried so far either didn't work or weren't that great:

-Need For Speed Shift said the device was not supported

-Asphalt 5 would get to the menu screen, then would become completely unresponsive

-Raging Thunder (the original one) tilted the accelerometer default about 45 degrees to the right so that you'd have to hold the tablet at an angle just to go straight

-Bang Bang Racing THD (one of the games featured in TegraZone) worked fine, but the view of your car was a little weird and the controls didn't use the accelerometer, so I uninstalled it

Running CM 7.0.3

Reckless Racing by Polarbit plays and looks awesome on the tab. (using Vegan 5.1.1).

For a freebie, iRunner is pretty entertaining and plays well too.

I quite enjoy playing Full Tilt Rush Poker (with play money of course). Game works fine in landscape.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] nunjabusiness:
Full Tilt Rush's domain has been seized by the FBI and the whole "real money" aspect has been called into question.

That said, the game still downloads from market fine, you just can't play it on HC (requires flash) so I can't comment on play.
