[WebOS Software Development] Rooster85:
Ill have to admit I loved webos when I had it...... that is when it wasn't lagging, freezing, resetting. Which seemed to be on a daily basis. Multitasking at its best! But performance and app selection is far from android or ios. My personal opinion would be to stick with android simply because of the personalization and performance aspects. If we could see support for webos on some HTC phones I would make the jump and never look back, assuming app development progressed!

i have a friend here that has a palm pre 2... which is so beautiful... i fell inlove with the multi tasking... and its not just like it minimizes the application its really running the apps... i even tried running 4 games and a couple of web browsers... it was lagging ofcourse but still its amazing... and its easier to root the phone and warranty does not get voided coz you could still put it back very easy... but it has some updates it still needs... like it does not have yet a virtual keyboard which is weird but soon to be applied

If HP treats Web OS right, Web Os can grow enormously.
[WebOS Software Development] bsutton:
I Have a palm pre and an htc hd2, And being able to run both android and wp7 on it, i know what both are like. WP7 is very smooth, and quite a nice OS, although I'm still in love with android. WebOS is GREAT beside its lack of development/app support, so it gets very boring. Overall i'd say just stick with android, you can do a lot of fun/cool things with it and development for it is rapidly growing. Android is my favorite OS and will remain that way. Just my oppinion, Hope it helps!
[WebOS Software Development] exsulis:
My GF has a Pre Plus webos 1.4.5, and I have a Xperia X10 Android 2.1. Her Pre drives me nuts, the only thing I like about it is the multitasking.

I've got a lot more apps, and they are way more useful than the ones available on her phone. Granted, if the rumors surrounding the possibility that Samsung will start producing Webos phones then it might see more good apps.

The touch sensor on her pre is better than my X10, and too a crazy degree.

Her phone is a whole lot slower than my phone, web, apps, you name it. And her phone's battery only lasts 6-8 hours before it is dead.

Finally, she has gone through two Pre Plus phones, and they are both buggy as hell. :eek:
[WebOS Software Development] sensor32:
I've had a Pre with WebOs and can say I miss the quick flipping through apps and easily closing them. No need for apps to monitor what's still open so you know to kill it.

I thought WebOs was the most intuitive OS out there. Andam looking forward to it on something other than a Pre. If it was flashable onto an epic I would probably do it.

I enjoy the flexibility of android but haven't found anything webos wasn't able to do as good. It is only the hardware holding webos back.
[WebOS Software Development] malexxran:
WebOS has some butt ugly phones I would never get one... But the OS is awesome

Unfortunately webos is dead now...
[WebOS Software Development] itserix:
I really hope the developers will be able to port Android 3.1 onto the HP Touchpad
[WebOS Software Development] drt054:
I too first started with a palm pre plus for my first smart phone and found webOS is far superior to Android.. it just lacked the developers. Would be nice if Android had a ui like webOS..

[WebOS Software Development] Jive Turkey:
HP only canned the hardware, not the OS itself. I would say they shot themselves in the foot, but webOS is still alive and kicking. Just look at the increase in traffic in these forums.
[WebOS Software Development] gdavies08:
gotta say since getting an android phone after having a windows mobile and an iphone i personally prefer android but i do wanna try out webos
[WebOS Software Development] 1midniterider:
Thanks... I really enjoyed the multitasking... on my palm pre... would put webos on my samsung epic if it were possible

EDIT: BOOTANIMATION ENABLED IN CM6 0.30, Directory moved to system/media

The boot animation in CM6 floyo-0.25 by racht had been disabled.

To enable it, follow these simple steps... or Se-Lifestyle

This is the ONLY way to enable it and ONLY for ROMs which bootanimation was disabled in build.prop

Thanks deedii for confirming the boot animation's location.

(Use root explorer)

1. Edit build.prop.

Go to /system/build.prop in root explorer.

Long press the file and choose "open in text editor"

Go to the last line and u will see:

debug.sf.nobootanimation=1

change it to:

debug.sf.nobootanimation=0

Do the same for /system/bin/build.prop

Root explorer will automatically backup the files for u with the name "build.prop.bak"

Note: -You can also copy the file to sdcard, connect to pc via usb, edit in notepad, save, replace the edited one with the original one.

-Not sure the 2 files are same, for safety, do them individually.

2. Upload boot animations.

Put the bootaniamtion.zip into:

/data/local/

(!) /system/media/ will not work

(!) make sure the boot animation is correctly made.

3. Reboot and done!

About how to make boot animation:

Important notes u have to know : http://se-lifestyle.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=5947
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] UAL4588:
Both build.prop's are the same. At least in MiniCM and Froyobread. I have't done any editing using Racht's ROM
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] deedii:
Thank you for the tutorials. :) x0x0
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] zhuhang:
thank you too. xD
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] sendalterbang:
just use "absolute system tools"

lots of bootanimation just few click n lots of fonts.easy to install.it will work with all rom
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] sendalterbang:
try upload
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] sotiris82:
this will work in froyobread right?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] zhuhang:
i dont think it will work as the boot animation is disabled in build.prop

even build.prop editor cannot enable it, must do manually.

otherwise the app u mentioned can edit the build.prop?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] zhuhang:
im not sure. this topic is for racht's floyo 0.25 only.

Other ROMs maybe use /system/media/ directory, dont have to enable bootanimation as its not disabled.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] XperianPro:
Also you can test bootanimation in adb shell by typing this:

# cd /system/bin/

# bootanimation
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] zhuhang:
what does this commands do?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] XperianPro:
It run bootanimation on running phone to stop it unplug phone from computer
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] zhuhang:
the command cd /system/bin/

so the bootanimation.zip has to be in bin folder? or media folder? or data/local folder?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] XperianPro:
No it will run correct in use bootanimation so if you disable bootanimation like in your tut it will run it from /data/local/
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] argpsi:
I only get the part0 animation showing but not the part2 on floyo.025. I used 9 png images for part1. Seems that there's no time after the 3 png's in part0. Black screen and then comes the initial PIN request. Checked for .db files left in but none exist
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] zhuhang:
does it work on 0.20?

attach it here and let us check.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] kakho55:
where can find the link to add sound on boot? how to do it?

[XPERIA X8 Android Development] sotiris82:
i have the same problem..if i put all png on one file it works but if put another folder it doesnt show up..Checked for .db files left in but none exist as argpsi said..what to do?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] argpsi:
Here's the plain boot animation I tried to make for testing purposes, as u requested zhuhang
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] zhuhang:
i also face this problem, havent found the reason.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] zhuhang:
it should be no problem, im facing this too, finding the reason.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] zhuhang:
i thinks is ROM problem need ask racht.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] sotiris82:
i currently use froyobread..i believe rachts froyo is based in froyobread..and i have the same problem..so if you find a solution let us know..
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] argpsi:
I tried an older boot animation from miniCM which consists of 3 parts. Only the first loads for a few seconds. On the other hand why should I complain if the device loads up fast?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] sotiris82:
When I try to load my custom bootanimation with two parts only the first appears and then blackscreen for a few seconds..so I guess its not that the phone boots up quickly..
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] argpsi:
If that's the case then it's up to us if we want a long boot animation for personal use or a rather fast boot. What u suggest (using a single folder) does the trick...
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] zhuhang:
We can only make bootanimation consist of only 1 part. For me, I'm using looped animation, like loading screen. Nice enough.

[XPERIA X8 Android Development] zhuhang:
anyone tried 2 parts in 0.30?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] deedii:
I did tried and it works. If /system/media works for 0.30, i can confirm also that it works in /data/local.. :)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] zhuhang:
No. Data / local doesn't work. Only system /media.

I mentioned I am using floyo .30, using froyobread bootanimation and i believe its a 2 part animation, and saved it in my data/local.. Why would i lie about it, IT WORKS.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] zhuhang:
im not saying u lie.

i already tried. have u delete the bootanimation.zip in system/media before trying in data/local??

cause it didnt work for me when i only put at data/local, which means data/local wont work. If yours work then i have to test out.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] deedii:
Well i didnt bother to look, coz i go directly in /data/local and paste my custom animation and it works, btw i look at /system/media and there are 3 bootanimation there. It might be a left over when i switched rom.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] zhuhang:
u already paste ur custom animation in system/media?

not 3 bootanimation. 1 is the bootanimation.zip and the other 2 is linked to the bootanimation.zip with name _CM6 or _CM7.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] deedii:
sorry but i deleted all bootanimation.zip in my system/media, and i only have in data and it really works.

i have two nandroid backup of different systems (2.2.2 and 2.3.3)

now i have applied my 2.2.2 factory nandroid , so the phone is neat without any stuffs.

is it possible to restore only my data like msg,task,apps, etc from nandroid backup of 2.3.3?

as Custom Recovery creates system.img, data.img , cache.img .android_secure.img

is it posible to club / restore data from other nandroid backup ?:confused:
[Defy General] farsight73:
I would think it most unlikely on this matter.

ok, someone tell me what lies in data.img and cache.img ??

If i'm not wrong , google backups and restores settings if u enabled them at first ..in my case i took my nandroid backup sd card and everythn else that mattered and then i moved from adlx mod to cm7 most of apps contacts settings are restored now ..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hg3atintin:
I have stock rooted ke7. I downloaded and installed cwm from rom manager.

How do I uninstall it?

How should i do to fully wipe the rom (everything).

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rwj5279955:
Flash stock using ODIN
[Galaxy S I9000 General] redbloodhk:
Is it available, other than recompile one. I found dolphin browser has more CPU usage than stock FROYO one. But the stock browser has no fullscreen function.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] redbloodhk:
alright,find the way to compile.

and just add line in Browser.apk\res\values\styles.xml

<item name="android:windowFullscreen">true</item>
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chikess:
Try opera mobile
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nedooo:
Wow man! This is cool, now I only use stock browser :)

Thanks.

Is there a way to mod browser so it could download any file?

One thing to notice this line must be inside (STYLE): example :

<style name="BrowserTheme" parent="@touchwiz:style/TwTheme">

<item name="android:windowFullscreen">true</item>

<item name="android:colorBackground">@android:color/transparent</item>

<item name="android:windowBackground">@drawable/initial_titlebar</item>

<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>

<item name="android:windowContentOverlay">@null</item>

</style>
[Galaxy S I9000 General] redbloodhk:
yes under style name="BrowserTheme"
[Galaxy S I9000 General] agentdark45:
Opera works good.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] meroupow:
I am interested in this hack, just not sure to understand what you mean.

I have unpacked Browser.apk and I do not see "values" directory in "Browser.apk\res\", and of course no styles.xml also.

Using JVP build from Ficeto.

Could you explain a bit or point us to relevant threads?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] meroupow:
Ok, I did it,

As explained to me by Daneshm90, the procedure is rather simple

Decompile -> Modify AdroidManifest's android:theme value to :

android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"

(replacing "@style/BrowserTheme")

Recompile.

To be noted that decompile and recompile of Browser.apk (found in /system/app on the phone) may be achieved using apk_manager (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=695701) which uses apktool just don't forget to use the option:

"10 Decompile apk (with dependencies) (For propietary rom apks)"

using twframework-res.apk (found in System/framework on the phone) as input.

then

" 11 Compile apk"

then

"12 Sign apk" as system app

then

"12 install apk"

Stock browser is a lot better in full screen.

Phone screens will always feel too small for web browsing and we need each pixel...

I guess it should also work on SGS2, I will check as soon as I get mine...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] thinknchris:
I would say Opera Mini is good choice.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] XDAspc:
Opera Mobile is faster and full screen(need setting in option)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zippy1990:
All the way with opera mobile, Faster than stock, cache usage is maybe a bit more than stock, but i can live with that.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] deezid:
Has someone tried this with JVQ-Stock-Browser (much faster than opera mobile/mini imho)?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DPSK:
i used the search function.

how do i set the user agent in opera mini as a desktop? can somebody help me. thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Oxirane:
I've currently got a Vibrant, and my stepmom's phone is near the end of it's life- My parents are offering to buy my phone from me and so I'm looking at my options.

What does everyone here think of this phone? Anyone an ex-Vibrant user who can compare experiences for me? Thanks very much!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BobbyDukes707:
I didn't have a Vibrant... I wanted one though, does that count?

I recommend this phone to everyone... except future people who have quad cores on a Super-Duper AMOLED screen running Rainbow Sherbert(Android 7.4 duh).

Seriously though, it has some quirks, but is a bad a** phone...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] yojlik:
I would not.

It has potential and I'm glad that a lot of the major developers are on board, but right now it's broken- both in stock form and in the aftermarket. Until the stock ROM can at least be said to work (and right now there are more than a few major issues) I think a recommendation of "Do Not Buy" is a good one.

And for you, specifically, coming from a Vibrant would suck since you're moving from a phone with non-working GPS to a phone with non-working GPS. Wouldn't you at least like to navigate properly once before you die?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
I have to disagree. This phone is amazing. I had some minor issues running stock, but once I rooted and flashed its been smooth sailing for me. I'm running the Ultimate G2X rom and couldn't be happier with it. Everything works fine, including GPS.

I'm not denying that some have issues with their phones, but not all of us do. It really is an awesome phone and I'd recommend it to anyone. I do recommend buying it new though, in case you do have a defeectice unit so you can return it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] allthrottle:
I've had the vibrant since release. The g2x is definitely an upgrade, though not a huge one. Gaming on the vibrant is probably better than any other single core phone so you're probably not going to notice much improvement, the screen is great, speed is decent. Even though both the vibrant and g2x have their software quirks, EVERYTHING works on the g2x(gps in particular works everytime for me where the vibrant was hit or miss, mostly miss).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Vertiginouz:
I can say that I do recommend this phone. I don't think a lot of people have major issues, I certainly don't, and I bought it used in excellent condition. Tegra 2 is amazing for gaming, and everything is just really fast in general.

I came from a G2, which had a physical keyboard, easily removable battery door, and LED light. The G2x has none of these, but the only thing I really miss is the LED light, which can be remedied with an app called LG 2x/Black notifications that uses the capacitive buttons as an LED indicator
[T-Mobile LG G2x] butterbeam:
I had the Vibrant and the Vibrant 4G. When the G2X was announced, I jumped on it. I would buy it again but if you're watching new releases, there's a sweet Vibrant Galaxy S 2 comming to USA kinda soon....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
Honestly? Sure, the G2X is probably better than the Vibrant...

However....

It's not THAT much better. I would save the upgrade for the NEXT generation phone after the G2X and Sensation. As far as I'm concerned, the Vibrant isn't suffering from old age yet, like the MyTouch 3G it replaced for me! Of course, the MyTouch 3G was born Geriatric.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] blestsol:
Nah, i wouldn't recommend this phone.

Reboots.

Freezes.

Screen bleeding.

Wifi connection.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] avetny:
hahaha this phone is fast fast fast !

but if you have curves hands, the phone is gonna be bad...as for many people here, that the first time holding a phone with android
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Oxirane:
Thanks all for the replies... One other thing: How brick-proof is this thing? I'm loving having ODIN on my vibrant (I'm always flashing ROMs and kernals), and ODIN is a big reason why I've been really hesitant to drop the Samsung (well, and the screen and onboard memory and battery...)

Thanks again!
[Defy Android Development] Bargsbeer:
I tried searching for the answer to my problem, But I couldn't find anyone with the same problem.

My DEFY is rooted Cyanogen 7 , I went into settings and did a factory reset

now all it will do is a constant loop, I already tried booting into recovery I wiped the cache and did a restore boot its still looping.

any ideas?

I have RSD installed but it doesn't detect the DEFY

Thanks
[Defy Android Development] rachit2588:
remove the battery, wait for 1 minute

insert the battery.

press power on + vol up for 6 sec....release it your phone will be in bootloader...now open rsd lite 4.9 it will detect your phone and FULL flash the stock sbf file for your region on 2.2.2
[Defy Android Development] Bargsbeer:
so for me I would need the Tmobile USA version?
[Defy Android Development] rachit2588:
yes it will do....even other new versions on 2.2.2 like on french, DACH...etc will also work ....you just need to select your baseband frequency if you are on other regions sbf file..
[Defy Android Development] Bargsbeer:
How do I select the baseband frequency?

The problem I'm having now is I ran RSD with a SBF and now the phone is stuck on Bootloader it says "Cannot program" "Code corrupt" and even RSD is not recognizing it now, I'm worried I might have bricked it.
[Defy Android Development] arpith.fbi:
download latest RSD version.(i used 5.3.1)..boot into bootloader and flash it with a stock sbf(read comments before downloading)..everything should be fine..but still if u r stuck at M logo then remove the battery and reinsert it..everything should be fine..
[Defy Android Development] shibabz03:
having the same problem.. but it started when i turned on my 3g network.. now flashing back to a stable rom...
[Defy Android Development] Bargsbeer:
I got it working, I found out my battery was too low, So I had to do the mcgyver trick (which works) anyway after a hour of flashing, I got it back up and running.

Only issue now is I'm getting an error message telling me that the battery is invalid.
[Defy Android Development] farsight73:
Possibly you might had damaged your battery while doing the Mcgyver trick. Since the voltage/current doesn't really regulated into a proper rating before injecting into the battery.
[Defy Android Development] jgmoreno75:
@shibabz03 I have that problem too. Have you solved the problem when you turn on 3G network?

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to answer an incoming call on my tab. I have the overcome 2.0.0 rom, and a Tmobile tab.

I have gvoice set up properly, I'm able to call the tab from another phone, it rings through, and when I slide the notification bar down, I see this, the phone icon (which I tapped and nothing happened), mute, headset, and end buttons. I do not see any other button or way to let me answer the incoming call. I am stumped. This is what I see. What am I missing? Is it the rom? Can anyone please help? :confused:

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tabulous:
Ok, I'm going to try to answer your question but I have a few myself. Are you using google voice via sip account for your calls? If so, maybe someone has an answer for you, as I do not use google talk. Um, so generally in the Tab when someone calls you, u see the call and use the slider to answer.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickkane:
Yes, google voice via antisip and ipkall. That picture I posted is what I see when a call comes in. That's the notification pulldown. When a call comes, I have to wake the screen and then use the pulldown, but there's no slider or anything to answer the call.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tabulous:
Sorry I can't be of more help but I'm not using clip at the momment. Have you read the overcome thread to see if anyone else was having problems with voip or their website?

Don't you tap the phone icon (green button)?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tabulous:

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickkane:
Yes I tried that. It doesn't do anything, it doesn't change color or move, it's frozen just the way it looks in that pic. I'm wondering if it's missing in the rom. I can call the phone, and it rings and rings, but I can't physically answer it. I haven't tried via bluetooth headset or something like that yet.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StarLog:
I bet your going to need a different app to make this work.

I use GV on my SGT, and it works fine.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
I agree with Starlog. For sip or voip apps, they usually have their own dialer app.

Go to the market and search voip, sip, or antisip.
