how and where to get it??

---------- Post added at 03:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:46 PM ----------

dont be sad, if you are using stock kernel, there is a ROM called X8 sense v01, flash and have the HTC UI and Vibration and Data\3G wont work... i have tried it and its beautiful.
[XPERIA X8 General] Chris95X8:
Wow, this thread is old!

Yeah, you can find the Sense 3 lockscreen in GingerDX.

sorry guys if this is a question thats been asked a million times but search bar didnt actually bring anything up :confused:

My email tile does not update..i have 2 set for different bt internet accounts and the live tile never seems to tell me when mail has arrived. Infact when i go in and check my mail i can see that there is new mail in there but it actually looks like its been viewed already (not highlighted etc)

Is there some settings etc that i need to change or is there a way around it?

also i dont seem to get any notification tone when i get any notifications, do i need to enable it and where?

sorry for the stupid questions but just got the device and moved across from android
[Venue Pro General] alodar1:
Not that it matters, but what emails are you using? I have 4 emails and if I leave them as Live Tiles they will all update...especially after the initial setup.

First things I would do is....reboot the device...power off /on is good enough. Then check to see that you do have an update frequency set. While in mail, on the bottom right hand side of the screen, enter the menu, then settings, then account settings...make sure the frequency is set. Finally, for notification sounds, go into device settings. From the Home screen scroll right, then down to settings.....choose the sounds settings, scroll down. See if a sound is set for email. many times its set to none.

If this does not help, remove your email accounts, reboot and try again. I've never had my public emails fail in WP7. Corporate, yes sometimes....but never, Hotmail, gmail, yahoo.
[Venue Pro General] hpsauce37:
thanks for the reply

the device is brand new (arrived today)

i have 2 personal email accounts set up both with bt internet.

i.e joebloggs@btinternet.com

i have set the checks to be every 30mins on the accounts and have also set a notification tone now (thankyou) still however i never get any indication on the tile that there is mail.

The phone has the latest software as this was the first thing it did when i connected it to zune.

does it matter that i changed the name of the account? i.e how it is displayed on the tile? it first came up with 'btinternet 1' and btinternet 2 for the other....i just changed them to 'home' and 'darren'

i have also tried removing the battery and restarting the device several times but still same problem.

i wonder....do you think that the fact i have my iphone 4 receiving the mail also that this might have something to do with it? hmm..now i think about it i think it might....im going to try and stop the iphone from checking for mail and just leave my windows device doing it...see what happens then.
[Venue Pro General] notebookgrail:
If you happen to check your email from any other device/PC/Mac other than the WP7 phone, then obviously you wont see any new mail notification. But if Windows Phone happens to sync before you read in other devices, then you will see it. Also see if your iPhone is set to mark as read when a message is pulled into it (not sure ..just a guess).

Does your DVP at least show all the new mails as read when you go into inbox?

Also try setting the sync to 'as items arrive' or 5 min and see if that makes a difference.
[Venue Pro General] hpsauce37:
thanks for the reply

yes the dvp does show my mail in the inbox and does show it as read allthough i havent actually read it on the device.

also, under the sync settings the minimum poll time is 15mins (how often it will check the server) dont see an 'as items arrive option' like push email etc.

quite frustrating really as this is a really basic function....i can kinda understand it with the 3rd party applications and other live tiles but not the 'basics' :(
[Venue Pro General] notebookgrail:
This seems to indicate that some other Mobile Phone/PC (Outlook ?) is also configured to read the mail and its set to mark as read when downloaded. Or check your mail settings on the server (btinternet account) if such a option is enabled by default.

[General Questions and Answers] tboy72:
So I rooted my Droid X2 and installed Set CPU. I had problems running set CPU, I couldn't use the drop down menu for setting CPU governors, I also couldn't over clock my CPU, just under clock. Does set CPU work with the nvidia tegra 2 dual core processor in the X2? If not, which app will let me overclock and change CPU governors?
[General Questions and Answers] lowandbehold:
You have to have a custom kernel that allows overclocking.
[General Questions and Answers] tboy72:
I'm really new to Android, i've been using iOS for years, and finally jumped the fence. I just rooted my Droid X2, used Titanium Backup Pro to freeze all the bloated apps, and I wanted to get more control of my CPU, as well as overclock a little. I thought I could just install SetCPU and I would be able to Overclock.

So in order to have a custom kernel I would have to install a custom ROM? Such as Cyanogenmod? As I said, I am pretty new to Android, but if I am correct, Cyanogenmod is not available yet for the Droid X2 is it? Are there any other custom ROMs that are available or would work with my X2?

Is it really even all that necessary to overclock what is already a pretty powerful device? Nvidia Tegra 2 dual-core processor is powerful in its stock form isn't it? I would almost think I would gain more by dialing the CPU down at certain times, at least I would gain battery life. I think I am able to set up profiles with SetCPU without having a custom kernel, right?
[General Questions and Answers] lolvatveo:
This is a useless app made by Vietnamese people (I'm Vietnamese). It cannot overclock which many people mistakenly believe, and it only has the task of limiting the CPU speed, the CPU speed is managed by the OS and limiting it is a bad way because no matter what task it does it will be slowed down. When idle the CPU will automatically reduce its voltage and speed by OS. Any process no matter how big or small with high CPU speed it will be processed very fast even with small tasks that are reported not to use up CPU but it will still be faster than a slower CPU. Kernel Auditor is also useless.
[General Questions and Answers] lolvatveo:
it's not you install a custom kernel to manage cpu to overclock by some app but you're going to overclock into kernel using a custom kernel

The image quality/fps over a remote connection may not work too well for a flash game, but it might be playable.

Hi!

My MM is on CM7 RC10. I've tried a lot of gameloft games, gun bros and others like Age of Winds and only could play to Asphalt5 and Raging Thunder.

Any of you could play heavy or HD games on his MM?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] rrohanjs:
yes i have finished all these games on my milestone ---> splinter cell , hawx , nova , miami vindication , gt racing , modern combat 2 .. etc

on cronosginger though

for gaming get cronosginger 1.4.0 with pcphobics modifications .. u will be surprised how your milestone can handle heavy games :)

thnx for thanking :D
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] parads:
Thank you rrohanjs.

Maybe I give a try to cronosginger, but right now, I don't have many time to change my rom only for play the games :(. Anyone knows a walkaround to play something on CM7?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] rrohanjs:
that rom is not only for gaming, its very stable n the quickest ive used .. n the best part is its battery life ..
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] dfersd:
HEY! you know! I'm having that problem since I've changed to custom firmware, in the beggining I used stock eclair and ALL heavy games run without problems, then I changed to custom firmware (now on CM7 RC10) and I have problems and crashes on most Gameloft games, BUT all the emulators work excelently, this is little weird, so can a DEV answer that?? pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] dfersd:
Oh! I forgot! each CM7 versions were compatible with other games, for example, Spliter Cell Conviction ran on CM7 RC5, but did not work on next versions, nor even on RC4, just on RC5... I insist: weird!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] rrohanjs:
have u tried cronos ginger ? .. it will solve all your problems .. its better than stock
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] parads:
Excuse me roohanjs, I didn't want to said that cronosginger was only to play or CM7 is better than cronosginger. What I was trying to say is I'm fine with CM7, and now don't have time to backup, download other ROM, read about it, install, tweak, load again all apps, etc. etc.

Maybe the weekend I could try cronosginger, but meanwhile I hope someone could give me a tip on CM7.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] parads:
Hi Hearts king101.

I forgot to mention about SuperCharger. I've try it, and tested diferents scripts but the games always crash after intro video or after a few seconds of playing.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] hubhib:
I use CM7 RC10, set the vm heapsize to 42 and I am able to play Modern Combat 1&2, the Settlers HD and the normal market games like Angry Birds without stuttering. I havn't even aplied the V6 supercharger mod. Oh, and I overclocked to 1,1Ghz;)

Just make sure you don't have to much useless stuff running in the background. You can prevent apps from running on boot in the latest versions of CM7;)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] parads:
How do you prevent apps from running on boot with CM7? I look inside all settings menus but couldn't find anything.

My MM it's overclocked at 1GHz and vm heapsize is 40MB. I try with JIT enabled and disabled and any of both settings make a difference playing heavy games.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] hubhib:
In the CM7 settings menu there is an entry for application management (I have the dutch language enabled, so I don't knoow what the exact english translation is), and you should enable this. Once enabled you can change the app settings in the app management menu in the normal settings menu. Just click on a app and scroll down to the bottom and there you can enable and disable settings. This only works for the apps you installed yourself. Pre installed apps can't be altered.

And I have JIT enabled, thrown the standart ADW launcher away and installed GO Launcher EX wich is in my opinion much faster.

Hi,is there an app or a process to calibrate the accelerometer under android?I have typhoon rom,but even in mdj s one i had problems with the accellerometer.Everything tend to go left,and so I have problems with many games and programs (most of times those programs does not have a calibration menu).Thank you for the help
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] enoch861:
Try a sense ROM. Those always have a calibration app under settings in display or something.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Axel85:
So the only way is to change rom?It s incredible that in cyanogenmod there is not a sensor calibration menu,it s really strange
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Axel85:
No one with the same problem? So do i have to think it s an hardware problem?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Gushfevah:
Download "Bubble" by Ben Zibble from the Market, and use the Calibrate function on it.

Calibrate for each side & laying flat down too, obviously making sure the surface you are calibrating on is Flat too.

Mine was off by a bit and was awkward when playing some games, this worked great.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Axel85:
Are you sure that you can fully calibrate the phone withthis program? I tried but the calibration seems to have effect only in bubble program
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] enoch861:
I'm not totally sure. But that's one thing I would try. Do a nandroid first, calibrate, then restore your backup

So a few days back i flashed the serendipity VII rom on to my previouly 2.2 Cappy, and it worked like a charm... a day later i was experimenting with a few ROMS all 2.3, and they worked, and to my luck I flashed a 2.2 ROM (Cognition 4) (by mistake i might add) and there it was a complete black screen brick!:(

since then Iv tried various methods to bring it back to life, the 3button thing, the taking the battery out holding down the 3 buttons connecting the usb and putting the battery back in, then releasing power only... Iv tried to even get it JTAGed, which was a disaster since the JTAG guy tried and cudnt get the thing to show connectivity... ANY HELP??

I have seen a black screen for download mode. The only way I knew I was in download was when I saw the yellow band appear in Odin. Open Odin, and try different button combinations that will get you into download mode until you see Odin recognize your phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] splitnail:
I'm sure you've tried, but these are 2 other key combos. I've had that happen to me in the past and it can be frustrating.

1. volume up + volume down

2. volume down + power

3. volume down + home (softkey) then power (this is the one that worked for me)

4. volume down + menu (softkey) then power

Hope everything works out for you. If all else fails, I'm sure a jig will work.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeromekobriger:
I learned this in the days of old, when we were flashing the baked Froyo's. Don't know if it applies or if you've tried it already, but what used to work for me was:

Open Odin

Pull the battery out, put it back in...don't turn it on.

Hold the volume down button

Plug in the usb

At no point in the process should you ever touch the power button. For your Odin version, I'd recommend using the Stock Odin, get factory and then try flashing your custom Rom again.

(Edit: I say volume down because that's the current button to enter download mode with Gingerbread. It used to be Volume Up and Down at the same time.)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CremeFraiche:
ok first this does not belong in the dev section! belongs in Q&A so thing will get closed pretty soon. also other than a correct jtag u cant recover with jig, button combo or voodoo magic. u just mixed a i9000 GB bootloader along with a captivate froyo secondary boot which the Cog4 ROM has. use search and i think you can find someone who offers a jtag service
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbylx:
Well, I've seen a few mention it, but I think your going to need to make or puchase a jig. Hit radioshack and get 3 100kohm resistors, about $1. The directions are all over the forums here. I'd be willing to bet that will fix you up.

Also, once in a while it may still be alive even though the screen is black. Like someone else said, go ahead and start Odin, then plug your phone into USB. See if there is any response from Odin. It's worth a shot.

Either way, it's good to have a Jig handy.

Hey guys, I know this question never gets old but I'm looking for opinions on which ROM to flash.

I just have 3 requirements:

1) I don't want to miss my alarm in the morning due to a reboot loop.

2) At least a decent battery life. I'm on Cyanogen 7.03 and the battery life is really killing me.

3) Theme Changer app would be nice.

Any advice would be great!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Borky_16:
for battery life cm nightly #40 and a UV kernel like trinity and for stability another kernel like trinity :) ( like that kernel )

and the thememanager is alread in cm!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
7.0.3 at this point is really obsolete. You'd want to use CM7.1.0-Nightly #110 (latest) and it's relatively stable. Use that with Netarchy's 1.3.4 kernel (he just released 1.3.5 in experimental) with Proton Voltage Control and use the suggested undervoltages.

Aside from that, you should do your own research on ROMs. Each ROM has it's own features.

Any ROM + Netarchy's Kernel 1.3.4 (or 1.3.5 if you want to experiment, but all of his experimental kernels have been relatively stable in the past) + Voltage Control (Undervolt) = Can't go wrong
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brrip:
Thanks for the replies! I've been following the progress of CM7.1 but it seems rather hit and miss. Will try flashing the kernels you guys suggested.
