Well, as soon as T-Mobile approves the GB build and loads it with bloatware, we'll have a update to GB.

[Vibrant General] TheBrandonWRX:
It means GPS drivers...
[Vibrant General] Longcat14:
Nope. The Vibrant GPS is different from the i9000, to the point where the i9000 drivers don't work. GB has been out for a while for the i9000, just that this was the same build, but official.

If you mean GPS drivers for the Captivate, then your right. ^^

(I could be wrong, but if I was, wouldn't we have GPS drivers for GB already?)
[Vibrant General] Dougefresh91:
Has there even been an official announcement, or are we just assuming what the i900 gets, we get? Obviously I'm hopeful, but also not holding my breath.

Nah, bloatware is easy. They'll just use the bloatware app on the forums. We have to wait for Samsung to give them a buggy, TW3, RFS build.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ethere:
Hey all,

I had a lot of help earlier from the Cognition chat room in trying to get it installed. Every time I flash to stock, go into Clockwork Recovery, and try to install Cognition, it rebooted the first time, and I'm sitting at the AT&T screen. It will not go past this. I thought it was something with the rom, so I tried other 2.2 roms, like Serendipity and Firefly. I've used these roms on this phone in the past and never had an issue with them. Now, no matter what rom I try, it just sits at the AT&T logo after first boot. When I tried installing Firefly, I actually got an error: can't symlink /system/xbin/su. I'm not sure what's going on, but I was on MIUI before, flashed to stock using the 1 click JF6 return to stock.

Any info would be helpful.

[HTC Inspire 4G] JamesR913:
I know that radios vary greatly by location and one radio where I am could be crap while somewhere else it could be awesome. But I have tried a couple radios now and they all seem to be pretty poor for my area except the one that came with the phone. If someone else in the area knows of a better radio please let me know or just direct me back to the stock radio. Thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
Honestly if the stock radio or the second stock radio that came with the update works best, I would go with that one. In my experiences the performance of a radio can differ in as little as five or six miles.. For example the desire gb radio works awesome at my house, but performs extremely poor where I go to college (about five miles away), while the stock performs okay at my house, and works amazing at the college I go to.

I live in SW CT, and I've about had it with att. Ive tried all the radios and they all are about the same. Thinking about picking up a thunderbolt now that LTE is available.
[Adam General] Trooper_Max:
Is there a way to force an application into portrait mode or spoof/disable the accelerometer to maintain portrait orientation across applications? Ideally in the long-term it'd be nice if there were an elegant solution for handling portrait vs. landscape devices and screen rotation - or maybe more apps just need to take this into account - but a workaround for apps that don't would be nice.

My primary use case for this issue is when lying sideways, holding the tablet sideways to read on the Kindle application. The tablet thinks it should be in landscape mode, but I want it in portrait mode lying sideways with me so I can read it. The Kindle application can lock itself, but it always does so into landscape mode on tablets. This is inconvenient since it is easier to read on narrower displays (it's trickier for your eyes to wrap around to the beginning of the next line the longer those lines are).

Using the CyanogenMod beta I came up with a workaround - be sure you have the 180 degree/upside down rotation position disabled so that the display won't flip upside down - now when you turn it upside down it will stay in whichever portrait rotation it was previously in. Unfortunately, I was not able to figure out a similar workaround in Beast ROM since the display always rotates, even to the 180 degree/upside down position.

Now I might like to switch back to CyanogenMod in the long term (I use it on my Nexus One and like all the options and developer goodies it gives and it's kinda neat/convenient to be running similar software on both devices), but I think I currently like the Beast ROM better since it feels more solid and less buggy (it's particularly embarrassing trying to explain to friends why the camera orientation is messed up in CM >_>).

Anybody have any other solutions/workarounds for this issue? particularly something that might work with Beast rom?

[Adam General] adante111:
I would also really like to know if this is possible, for basically the exact same reasons you would.

In the past I would have thought that this would be a really high priority issue, but my experience has been bookreading does not appear to be a very highly used application of pdas/tablets :confused: - I remember when the HTC G1 first came out, there was a surprising lag before usable bookreader apps were released...
[Adam General] adante111:
Just incase anybody is interested, I brought up this question on stackexchange as well:

http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...fault-screen-orientation-in-android-specified
[Adam General] blazingwolf:
There are apps that should lock you in to portrait or landscape. Just install one on your device and you should be good to go. Here is an example:

https://market.android.com/details?id=kennethcheng.com.autorotate&feature=search_result
[Adam General] adante111:
thanks, but unfortunately the problem is more complicated than that. Once you turn off auto-rotate, your device goes back to its default orientation mode.

For a tablet, that is landscape :(

I just want to resize a lot of .9.PNG's !

I am making a theme who is for hdpi devices and I want to convert to mdpi devices (our devices) so I need to resize all the PNG's !

I think I must decompile the framework-res from the theme, resize the PNG (I use VSO Image resizer) and recompile the framework-res with the resized PNG's :)

Is that right ?

Thanks in advance for your help :)

PS : Sorry for my bad english (:

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Ticklefish:
Why resize them in the first place?

If you have hdpi images you want to use on a mdpi rom, just put them in a 'drawable-mdpi' folder. Android will resize them automatically. You could have a, for example, 100x100 image and it will be shrunk by the system to the right dimensions.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
are you sure it does not work? because i heard the original galaxy s does indeed wake up if you have an alarm set and you turn the phone off. the alarm will still go off. not all android phones do this. only nokia and samsung symbian phones historically have this feature, but i remember samsung brought it to its galaxy s android phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mlhdk:
May I ask why you not just try????????????????????????? FYI my SGS II does not ring when turned off. I think Nokia phones actually are some off the few phones that ring when turned off.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B3311:

Reading this forum makes me think twice on buying this phone...:( In 4 days it will be available at my orange store but reading about all these problems...:( First of all, what do you mean by not ringing when it's off?!? This is absurd! From my nokia 3310 to my present Samsung Omnia 2 all the phones had/has this SIMPLE feature! Why the sgs2 doesn't have it?I'm used to charge my phone at night(turned off) and get the wake up ring in the morning :( Second, random shut off???:mad: This is at least a deal breaker! Third,camera focusing problems???:confused: Display problems?

Question: Are we talking about an expensive phone or a cheap one ? :mad:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
1) No android smartphone can use the alarm when it's off. I don't think the iThing can either...

2) Random reboots or shut off??? What reboots? Consider user error, or people overclocking to stupid levels, I've yet to see one in 3 weeks.

3) Camera focussing issues??? Best camera I've ever had on a phone. Rivals a high end digital compact for at-a-glance sharpness

4) Display problems? If you know what a SAMOLED is, you should be fine. No issues here AFAIK

geez, set the alarm for 2 minutes later then now, shut the phone off. if it goes off then it works. seems pretty simple
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlueScreenJunky:
There's no need to be angry, especially since you haven't bought the phone yet, and if you're upset about these problems (the random reboot is a faulty unit btw, so if it happens justget it replaced), you should definitely not buy it.

Or you shouldn't get a smartphone for that matter, since the more complicated a device is, the more likely you are to run into problems. Maybe the iPhone has less faults, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't ring when it's off either, or you could look at nokia's feature phones like the E52, N95 or N97, which will also be cheaper.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seade:
1. True

2. Yes, this happens to me every now and then. Also a whole bunch of other people have this issue, whether it be faulty RAM chips, loose batteries or generally bad flashing.

3. The camera is good for a phone, but it doesn't and will never rival a real camera, due to the small and cheap lens, lack of optical zoom and small sensor.

4. Hearf of the yellow tint issue? Every SGS2 to date has this, more or less. There's yet to be posted a single photo of a display without this issue in low ambient light and low backlight.

Sent from my disappointing GT - I9100
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mihaicp:
@BlueScreenJunky not that angry as it might led the impression :)...but to be honest I am a little disapointed because I've been waiting for this phone to be release for some time now.

About iPhone...I like the looks but that's all. I hate restrictive companies so I cannot pay for a company's product to be able to use it only their way. I like freedom ;) I pay, then it's mine to do whatever I want to do with it.

Nokia N97 is a pain (no offense to those who own one)...but one of my colleges had it...it's a realllyyy slow device.

Oh, and I don't want to be a snob, but money is no issue in this case...it becomes annoying to me when I pay for something that it is said to be great and in the end I realize that is less than average or it is faulty because the company who produced it didn't pay enough attention to quality.

@prodygee you are right, but then again judging by the price of the device and by the most reviews that say it's the best phone at the moment ... these hardware problems (shut offs, display problems etc) should not exist.

Anyway, for the moment I talk based on what I read...so it's not that relevant.

Next week I'll go and test it myself in real life. Being a human and since we humans are known to be able to adapt to almost anything I can adapt myself to the lack of wake-up ring and some other minor problems(except display and shut off prbls.)

This rom is aimed at people that don't like rosie and its bulky memory hungry widgets/launcher, but still whant some of the sense goodies like the camera or perhaps the music player, and of course the enhanced pull down menu, etc.

Also people that like stock/aospish roms will feel at home with this one =).

My install notes

really like this rom!

1) to remove the the boot sound (mv /system/customize/resource/android_audio.mp3 /system/customize/resource/android_audio.mp3.off)

2) for anyone that cares, dropping com.android.launcher.apk from g-Lite into /system/app on this rom will give you the stock launcher

3) changing the lcd density in /system/build.prop to 220 seems to work fine. The sense apps don't resize, and the lockscreen keypad is a bit off center but other that that things look good

4) Anyone out there get an Exchange email account to sync? Mine sets up but won't sync.

Any reason not to include TitaniumBackup in the rom? I was also surprised you left the mirror app in there.
