[Streak 5 General] Dsmwookie:
My Samsung Vibrant is nice and all, but I want more real estate. Opus is looking like it will be a while and no real idea if it will be available on Tmobile.

So what phones are out there? I figured the Streak guys would know all about 4.3+ phones. I am sadly even keeping an eye on the Coolpad 9930 :<

I may try and track down a Streak AWS, but that seems like a hefty premium when newer devices are out.

Heres my shortlist:

AWS Streak

Coolpad 9930

Opus One (Dreaming....)

Any suggestions that I am missing?
[Streak 5 General] alien502:
I use my unlocked streak on T mobile. I can only get edge data, but it honestly isn't that bad. i get almost the same speeds my buddies are getting on AT&T 3g. I thought about selling mine and buying an AWS version. But between what people want for them, and mine being cherry red, I'll just keep it. I like the red. As far as other phones, T Mobile is getting a version of the infuse in september called the Hercules, I believe. It'll be a 4.5 inch screen. The infuse is only AT&T bands from what I remember. We may all be on AT&T bands soon anyway, lol. So might want to consider that as well. But let's hope not...
[Streak 5 General] Dsmwookie:
I have considered just grabbing edge signal, but does this not mean areas that are 3G only just lose out on data? Or does it send both signals?

The merger is a possibility, but I m not really holding my breath on that one...if I can find an AWS for $400 I will prolly just do that. All in all the real estate is just phenominal and I want one really bad!

Downgrading cameras, 3g, and screen quality might just be to much though.
[Streak 5 General] Final5k:
I've been using 4.3 screen in the past but after changing to the Dell Streak 5, I must say this is the best choice I've made so far. The screen is an absolute beauty for browsing internet and checking emails as well as viewing photos/videos.

Now, anything lower than a 5-4.8 screen would be tough to used really. In my view, the Acer Iconia Smart would be my next phone as it boosts some better specs than the Streak.
[Streak 5 General] slaydog:
Yea, I don't know why a 4.5 inch screen looks so small to me now.

Someone has got to make another 5 incher...

C'Mon HTC...
[Streak 5 General] Final5k:
I've been a loyal user of HTC phones in the past before coming to the Streak but Dell's lack of update/support for the Dell Streak is definitely a let down. I don't think I will go for another Dell phone unless they release something out of the ordinary with awesome specs........
[Streak 5 General] metal1f3:
I am also on the hunt for a new 4.8"+ phone. Non dell however. I checked out the iconia smart. Not sure I like the aspect ratio. Kind of an odd shape. Seems like it wouldn't feel any larger with that form factor but I guess I'd have to play with one to really tell. Someone has to make 4.8"+ android phone. The streak has really spoiled me.
[Streak 5 General] p51d007:
That has been my ONLY gripe with the Streak. LACK of support from Dell. At&t, well, I've been with at&t through all the name changes, which shows how far back I go. I'm come to EXPECT no support from at&t. If you want an update, you pretty much have to get it from the hardware vendor, or here. At&t won't update anything but the iPhone, since Apple pretty much controls that.

I love the streak, but unless Dell starts supporting the device, I'm jumping to the Samsung S2, or a 4.5" HTC this winter.
[Streak 5 General] Final5k:
Frankly, I would think twice before purchasing myself an htc phone this year - my previous experience with the HD2/Desire HD has not been that great due to the fact that the volume was really on the low side - lower than the D.Streak. I had never run through such troubles with Nokia/Motorola/S.Ericsson. The caller's voice was also difficult to hear on both in crowded areas. Compared to a Nokia and Sony Ericsson speaker, HTC loses badly here!!

I think each company's phone has its ups and downs - it's only a matter of compromise made by the buyer to support the newest phone I guess. But still I like HTC phones...if only they could made louder speakers and with a larger screen.
[Streak 5 General] slaydog:
My HTC's have all had great speakers. In fact, my last phone - the Tilt 2 (Rhodium/Touch Pro 2), had the best yet. And you can throw some serious abuse @ them!
[Streak 5 General] Final5k:
Definitely I own a TP2 and even without the sound hack, the volume is bright and clear --> and with the volume hack, this phone is definitely rocking!! The problem applies to later HTC phones such as HD2 and Desire HD. Seems HTC restricted the volume level to these phones.
[Streak 5 General] futurama:
I really hope dell do a follow up to the streak, I cant go to a screen smaller than 5" after using the streak.

There has been no news on opus1 since the end of 2010, it would be a shame if theres no more 5" android phones
[Streak 5 General] kanej2006:
You sir are quite correct! The ONLY HTC I've had that has had very loud volume has the HTC HD2, was MEGA loud & clear, even half way...

HTC Desire & HTC Desire HD has **** sound, even when maxed out you could barely hear it.

They were ok for music but for video's/youtube you could barely hear it..

most phones however have **** sound, my old Samsung Galaxy even had crappy sound, I do not know why manufacturers make big & expensive phones only their unable to produce quality speakers, why not put quality stereo speakers like ancient Nokia's?

Most nokia's though weak and way underpowered at least have loud stereo speakers...

Sound improvement/loudness is where 90% of phone manufacturers need to improve on.
[Streak 5 General] Dsmwookie:
I pulled the trigger and bought one off craigslist for $250. Unfortunately it is an ATT version. I will just try to use wifi and edge. If it seems to be a hassle I will sell it and buy the one from Cinn. Bell.
[Galaxy S II General] MicioMax:
Hi,

I flashed Litenin (and other custom roms) with Heimdal on Linux flawlessy up to version 1.4 which hangs at boot.

I had to replace factoryfs.img with previous version's one (kernel and modem are from 1.4 still and it works....).

Is it a bug in heimdall or something wrong with Litenin rom 1.4 ?

A factory reset didn't help either, 1.4 can't be installed on my phone, at least not with heimdall.

Ciao

Max
[Galaxy S II General] MicioMax:
bump !

Nobody using heimdall and litening rom here ? :D
[Galaxy S II General] tschakk:
I have exact the same problem.... :(
[Galaxy S II General] MicioMax:
Did you solve it ? Flashing with Odin does the trick ?
[Galaxy S II General] tschakk:
No.. I dont have access to a win box... :)

but i think odin should work - another user reported after switching to odin everything was ok....
[Galaxy S II General] MicioMax:
weird.

I'll try later on unpacking and repacking the factoryfs.img, maybe there's something on it which makes heimdall behava wrong.

Thank you for feedback ;)
[Galaxy S II General] tschakk:
Could u resolve the problem? :)
[Galaxy S II General] MicioMax:
Nope, unpacking and repacking didn't work either.

It seems that heimdall don't like 1.4 version :(
[Galaxy S II General] tschakk:
OK. thanks for the try...

I could access a windows computer this weekend. Odin worked fine... :P
[Galaxy S II General] johannes80:
I never got Heimdall working. It cant find my phone.
[Galaxy S II General] tschakk:
hmmm I did nothing special. What OS u use?

(Ubuntu)

1. I Install libusb-1.0 like described on the official heimdall homepage.

2. Install the heimdall .deb package.

3. put your phone to download mode

4. Start heimdall like: sudo heimdall print-pit

I only used the console edition (1.2.0) - not the gui edition...

For flashing type:

sudo heimdall flash --<partition identifier> <filename>

Lite'ning Rom v1.5 XXKF2

Lite'ning Rom v1.5 XXKF2 has just been released. Has anybody tried flashing the new version via Heimdall?
[Galaxy S II General] MicioMax:
The link has been removed before I could try it :(
[Galaxy S II General] jzuijlek:
Yes, I saw that people were having problems with it. When the new version is up we can try it again.
[Galaxy S II General] tschakk:
Ok, just flashed Litening v1.5 with heimdall.

Everything worked as expected...
[Galaxy S II General] jzuijlek:
Nice, I'll try it tonight.
[Galaxy S II General] TheBishopOfSoho:
I run Ubuntu, but use VirtualBox and USB filtering on a Windows 7 Guest to run things like Odin, I just dont trust the Ubuntu tools for drivers, I find Windows to be more reliable and less likely to brick the phone when flashing.

It works fantastic for me!
[Galaxy S II General] jzuijlek:
I've used the same configuration to flash my SG2. But you do realize that VirtualBox is using the same ubuntu (linux) drivers for usb?

And why do you find windows to be more reliable?
[Galaxy S II General] tschakk:
I cant share your opinion. Im working now for more than a year with Android. We have our own android build. And i had much less problems working with Linux (Ubuntu) than with Windows...
[Galaxy S II General] jzuijlek:
Flashed Litening rom 1.5 just fine with Heimdall in Ubuntu 11.04.

Just an FYI for anyone wondering. I was able to install Swype 3 Beta, despite the indication not to.

On their website it indicates that you should not install on any devices that had Swype pre installed.

I had no problems after uninstalling Swype via Titanium and proceeding with their inStall process

[Epic 4G General] AproSamurai:
Ummmm, not necessarily, it handles things just a bit smoother though, I've been digging swype as of lately because I'm on EE03 so the kb lag throws me off quite a bit, but other than that, not too much of a gain, not too much added to the options menus.

Hmmm well thank you. One thing I'd like is the ability to tap and still have autocorrect... like FlexT9, but FlexT9 won't let you Swype for the ! and ? which REALLY bothers me.

I've used that, but I don't like it as well because it's built-in dictionary is not as good so when you swipe on their app, the right word doesn't always come up.

Select recovery and boots into ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.7

This is where my problem is, I have the ROM I want to flash on the SD card but if I select any option from the ClockworkMod menu the screen just goes blank (black) and nothing happens.

If I press the power button again it just comes back to the menu.

Can someone advise if there is a different recovery img I could use or what is going wrong.

Thanks

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
Think this is a second post about this tonight. Are you using the volume keys instead of the trackball?

Swyped...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marko_1611:
Yes I am and then the power to select, guessing it should be the trackball.

I switched to RA and saw that it worked using the trackball so got it working that way. Spent hours on this and it was just a click away.

Just got it running and just installing my new rom.

Thanks for the advise perhaps whoever created the noob guide should state that the rom managers use the trackball as you enter the bootloader using volume and power button.

The future is floppy

It's more bends and twists really..

http://www.oled-display.net/smd-want-to-mass-produce-flexible-bendable-amoled-displays-in-2012

I love Galaxy S and Nexus S so SGS 2 would have win points over Motorola Atrix 4G (CES Winner 2011), though I've seen poor reviews, I find it hard to believe with all the power and features this could mess up, love the WebTop ;-)

Nexus 3 is January 2012, here and now it's Galaxy S II, even with it's missing physical camera button, flimsy battery cover, missing notification LED and whines from reviews made with pre-release models, I find it hard to accept such an amazing device, only made better could be wrong!

For the record, I also think the Sony Arc is a nice phone. I'm not interested in nice things.. only truly inspirational and feature rich devices make it to my view. SGS screens are amazing but then.. they did practically invent HD Television so it stands to reason ;-)

For the record I own two Desire HD's... My wife likes the functionality. I think she is blind and the second, is what happens when you get over enthused with HBOOT ROM hacking and carried away :D

I've blown up Sony Xperia X10's and keep one around for fun.. does not mean I endorse a PlayStation phone.. I have a PSP for that ;-) The DRM system implemented in Sony's early devices is now gone, thankfully and have been told the ARC is what I expected when I purchased my first Xperia X10 and wouldn't doubt it either, but it's not a Tegra 2!

What do you want from your phone? I use a camera for photo's, games machine for games, computers for programming and tablets for reading.. my phone really is a phone with email and SMS... it's your call!

Good luck!

[Verizon Droid Charge] kelmar13:
Found this when I had my Epic but doesn't work as it originally was posted where I got it (I think this thread).

DEODEXED ROMs ONLY!!!

Rename the .apk to OzEmail.apk instead of Email.apk and replace it in /system/app.

Working just fine for me :)

Or... use the attached and replace in /system/app.

As is usually the case with all things root related, proceed with caution and at your own risk.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ballanda123:
Good to have. Thanks! If anyone is interested as well, I use Enhanced Email, which has a checkbox option to disable Exchange Security during email setup. I can keep my phone out of the hands of evildoers just fine without needing to enter a PIN every 15 minutes.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
SO will this allow me to receive email from an exchange server email address? Like..... HP.com
[Verizon Droid Charge] kelmar13:
If you could access it through the stock Email app, then yes.

This just disables any security features that hp.com or .... enforce so that you don't have to enter a password (enforced by exchange security) each time you wake the phone.

Oh.. I still can't figure out how to get this damn thing to work on my phone. I need work email access!

How To: Change Boot Animation

First: You need a Custom Rom Installed

Install winrar

Root your droid! (obviously?) If you need to root, download 'Universal Androot'

using a Root explorer goto the /system/media directory.

Copy bootanimation.zip to your SD Card.

Connect your droid to your computer with usb and mount the SD Card

Copy bootanimation.zip to your computer.

extract bootanimation.zip to a folder

Inside you will find 2 folders with all the individual PNG files in them.

With photoshop or paint modify the png files to add your custom graphics, OR make/download your own pictures. (Make sure they are 240x320)

Highlight the two folders and the desc file.

Right click the highlighted files.

Select add files to archive.

Select Zip check box

In the compression method drop down box select Store. (this is key if you dont do this it wont play the animation)

save the archive as bootanimation.zip

copy the new bootanimation.zip to your SD Card

Select the bootanimation.zip file from your SD Card and move it... system>media>paste

REMEMBER: Re-name the default bootloader 'bootloaderold.zip' and the new one 'bootloader.zip' This will stop confusion

Any Questions? Just ask! :)

doh! my bad....:D well the easiest way would be to flash the stock PD15IMG.zip in the bootloader. download this file here, name it PD15IMG and put it in the root of your SD. turn off the phone then boot into hboot(hold vol down+power button), the bootloader should automatically find the file then ask you to update. hit yes and and it should start flashing. make sure you are on the stock radio before doing this
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Towle:

@Towle- if youre on virtuous fusion with the updated radio, flash a different rom that doesnt require the radio. then revert to the stock radio, then you can go ahead and flash the stock PD15IMG in hboot. yes it will put the stock rom back on the phone and restore it back to factory conditions

@cabello80- radios can be found here

and no it will not change your hboot
