[Galaxy S II General] Gustopher:
No worries my friend, a bit of healthy debate is always good.

We can agree to disagree about the iPhone, but at least we have some common ground on the HD2. :)

I'll see your square buttons and raise you soft buttons like the SGS2 though - the only real weakness (in my opinion) with the HD2 was the tendency of the touchscreen to fail apparently because of some connectivity issue caused by wear from repeated use of the power button. Twice mine had to go back for repair.

I'm not sure the SGS2 will ever rival the HD2 for versatility, but it's the first phone that I've had that can work quickly enough to keep me from getting impatient. It's a heck of a device, iClone or not. (And I say definitely NOT)
[Galaxy S II General] GuestK00431:
Honestly never want to own a phone with the iPhone 4 design again. While it looks nice, it demands a case. Drop it your screwed, oh and its a smudge fest front and back.
[Galaxy S II General] Spybreak:
I have a love/hate relationship with soft buttons. On one hand they look awesome and give the phone a very high-tech look. On the other hand it's easy to activate them by mistake, especially on phones that have them too close to the screen (Nexus One). I like what Samsung did on the SGS, have the home button as a physical one and the edge buttons as touch ones.

Going back to the HD2, and HTC phones in general, I distinctly remember how after the iPhone was introduced all companies, and especially HTC, started to re-think phone industrial design and paid a lot more attention to it, giving us phones like the Diamond and the rest of the newer HTC portfolio. I'm not saying they copied Apple, I am saying the realized that people care how their phones look and that it was possible to make a device using high-end materials and employing a designer that knows what he is doing.

Although Samsung seems to gravitate towards iPhone-ish design, HTC have found their own style and has continued evolving it through the years. I hope Samsung does the same and starts unifying and refining their designs. The SGS2 was a great step forward compared to the SGS, which felt like a cheap iPhone 3G. I think they should start using different materials instead of glossy plastic. Looking at the Wave and Omnia 7, the whole aluminum/grey matte plastic is a pretty good idea, they just have to improve the shapes and I think they can make something that'll look great.
[Galaxy S II General] rovex:
Samsung HAS got its own style. Its large screen phones have looked like this from before the iPhones invention. The SGS2 is an evolution of those designs. The fact that the iPhone happens to look a 'bit' like it from some angles is more to do with Apple than Samsung.

Apple know that full well, the legal case is just another attempt at publicity to make others look bad, its not a serious case. Apple wins this whether they win the case or not because they are so popular. Few of its patent cases have any merit, its just using its financial power to bully. It know the public will think they are in the right and the public will continue to worship the Turtle necked one.
[Galaxy S II General] daivik:
So god damn true.
[Galaxy S II General] Spybreak:
Ignoring the whole legal case thing, which is not relevant to this discussion, you are right, they do have their own style.

I've been looking around GSM Arena and the earliest example of a slate design that kind of resembles the SGS2 would be the F700: http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_f700-1849.php

Rounded corners, plain black with a central home button. Of course the OS, UI and keyboard are different, but it does show a clear direction in terms of design.

Later came the F490 and the F480

http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_f490-pictures-2203.php

http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_f480-pictures-2268.php

They seem to evolve the design a bit. I still think they should improve materials a bit, as they use glossy plastic way too much.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antig24:
This morning I created a nandroid of CM7 RC0.6.

I installed the MR2 radio and BAMF sense 3.0 rom. I decided I like CM7 better so I decided to restore my nandroid backup from this morning.

I reloaded it and now I don't have any service at all. At the lock screen the message "Please insert a SIM card" is shown.

Since then I have tried to reload the stock radio, which I don't think I should even need to do since the nandroid includes the radio, correct?

Any ideas?

Thanks!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktdevil5:
No, nandroid does not contain the radio. Only through bootloader can you install a radio.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antig24:
Thank you for the info.

I only tried to flash the "radio" from the radio thread, not "lte". I will try both and report back.

*edit* Flashed both the "radio" and "LTE" and now all is working properly. Thanks!"

Ok so I'm new to the forums and have no clue where to put this soooooo I decided to put it here.

I was bored so I decided to make a goldcard. What I'm asking is, what does it do? I'm a bit of a noob so don't low me away with tech launguage
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] buenso80:
The goldcard is used to flash the most htc device us sdcard service mode ie HTC desire and most android device
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hallokitty:
I needed to make one to allow me to downgrade my Desire HD from some annoying un-rootable stock firmware.

The Green Hornet is no longer in 3d. The first time I started the movie it was fine, now its in 2d?
[HTC EVO 3D] crucial929:
mine did that to me also , after a restart it was fine ..
[HTC EVO 3D] ydoucare:
I've had this bug also. When it happens, 3D videos on Youtube also will only display in 2D. Restart fixes like mentioned above.
[HTC EVO 3D] sand1303:
just had this happen to me as well. tried showing off the green hornet in 3d to my son and it was playing in 2d. when he looked at me funny i grabbed it and watched for a second and i thought damn, its a good picture but it doesn't look 3d. rebooted the phone and it worked fine. hope this isn't a common occurance.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raisins:
Im a little new at this so im not exactly sure how this works. But i am running CM7 and i just flashed the latest incredikernel and everything is working fine.

but now I decided to try setting the voltages (the setvdd_levels zip). I flashed this but now i am not sure what i have to do next. Is there something else i need to do?

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
If you flashed it already then it should be applied. You can use Chad's undervolting scripts or use vipermod, which is terminal emulator-based and super easy to use.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lonnyrs:
both chad and vipermod had flashable voltage tables. you just put the .zip file on your sd card, and flash it just like you would flash anything else in recovery (or if rom manager is how you do things, fine..). the way i did it was trial and error. i tried the vipermod one's. start with the the 25mv, then the 50mv, then the 75, then the 100, then the extreme (125mv), then the insane (150mv). just start small, run for a day or so, then keep going up. you'l know it when you get too high. i personally run the 100, and it works quite well for me. just flash one right on top of the previous. if you want it back to normal, he has a "reset" flash mod in there too. just play around with it, but remember to give yourself ample time to see the benefits. he also has made it to where you can adjust each table yourself, but i haven't gone that far into it yet. what i'm using is working great, so i'm happy...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raisins:
Thanks guys. I downloaded vipermod and ran it to lower the voltages by 25, but now every so often my phone reboots and gets stuck on the cyanogenmod 7 loading screen and i have to pull the battery. Is that unusual?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watt9493:
Booting takes more power then normal running. Mine does it on OMFGB W/beta 8 and -50

Youre looking at a crackflashing troll with ORD
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
Seems like each phone has its own threshold for undervolting. I'd recommend trying out different levels (-25, -50, -75, etc) but NOT saving the setting. Then you can see how it runs and when/if it does reboot, you'll be back to stock voltages.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raisins:
Well I wasn't having any luck with -25 - it was giving me reboots and getting stuck on the cyanogenmod loading animation. But after i pulled the battery it would boot up fine, but eventually would reboot (maybe after 20 minutes). So i tried going into vipermod and setting the voltages back to default, but it still gave me reboots. Now i deleted the 95havsvdd file like chad said to do if it was unstable

Hello all,

This is simply an introduction.

I've had my Galaxy S since May, yes first android, and XDA has been THE most visited/read site! (In all actuality this site is the reason that I still have my phone.)

I have learned so much that I feel indebted to this site and the developers that make this site what it is...

Though I would like to thank everyone by name... I just don't know them all, and they are many.

As smart as this community is as a whole, I'm certain you all know who I'm talking about...

So, from the bottom of my bionix black ice; bali 3.1uv; fugu + init.d7; oc'd to 1.5; ext4; bloat free Samsung Galaxy S 4g... THANK YOU ALL!!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rose2jam:
Agreed this is the best place around. Also it helps that's most devs here are ahead of the game and the first to get anything android working:)

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] twisticles:
...and other thoughts.

I've set up hotmail as an Exchange Activesync account in the HTC Mail app. Contacts and calendar sync fine, but mail is a different story...

The mail gets downloaded to the flyer, I can view/edit/respond to those mails. But when I delete them, they reappear in the next sync, every time. I've fiddled with all the sync settings but no joy. Anyone else having hotmail issues?

************

other thoughts

************

I've only had the flyer a few days, a SE Asia version. I love the size, the hardware. My previous tablet was an iPad, and this is my first Android device. Previously was a longtime user of WinMo, then had an iPhone briefly before switching to WP7. Back in the day, Android didn't seem to play nicely with corporate exchange email so I never bothered.

I figured that in fairness I should try Android...and it is the polar opposite of iOS. It seems you can do anything...but the payoff is that doing it may not be obvious! Of course I love the flexibility and openess, but even for a geek it definately isn't straightforward. Then, I don't know how much of my experience is Sense and how much is Android. I am glad to be iTunes free, at least.

Obviously, it is an over-size phone when it comes to apps, but none of the phone advantages, like phone calls. Roll on Honeycomb! Pretty gobsmacked there isn't skype video chat available, given the prolific FFC devices running android.

So far, I can accomplish anything I have wanted to do (except delete email and skype video calls), but somehow it doesn't seem very neat or slick. Everything feels like a tacked-on afterthought. Maybe I will grow to love it, as I am not going back to iOS...maybe Win8 will do what I need...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] oldpueblo:
I had this problem with the shift I think, it was all about the route you use to set it up. Under accounts & sync you choose mail instead of ActiveSync or something.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] waltah!:
Go into your sync settings and change it to sync today only.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tjamscad:
The Missing Rom, Sense 1, 2,3 are more than just HTC's UI. They are the way we Interact with our Incredible. As i write this There are Dev's and Dev teams making great strides on what they feel will be the greatest ROM. I have spent many years working on car project only to find that I am never happy with it. A good projects are never finished. With all the Sense rom's you get flavors of sense. With the senseless roms you get no Sense. With this rom you get some Sense and Launcher Pro. I have removed everything that doesn't work with Launcher Pro.

This is my first shot at a Rom, I plan to continue learning and devolving.

Sense widgets gone

Battery draining apps gone

Rom zip file is less than 110 MB

Sense clock and calander still there

camera works

If you want apps install them, the market is full.

Thanks to Jakresge, and every Dev. on this site.

Give it a chance guys. What have all sense 1 roms done? Changed little from stock? Exactly.

Youre looking at a crackflashing troll with ORD
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildstang83:
No offense either bud. Its just... well... how exactly did you create "your ROM" on your phone?

Did you do a nand and then expect people to flash your back-up?

I don't understand what your doing or why. Normally ROM development takes place on a computer with some knowledge of how things work in these ROMs so we can make them better. And to make them more appealing to the other users of these forums or whoever.

Simply installing Launcher Pro or whatever else does not meen you have created a ROM. You have just installed Launcher Pro to a ROM, that is all.

However, if you would like to get into "real" ROM development there are a many valuable tools and resources in theses very forums to help you get started. Not to mention the devs that roam around here as well that would more than likely be willing to pull you to the side and help you out, provided you just ask them.

I want you to pay attention to this next part ok? The name of this website is called xda- wait for it... wait for it... "DEVELOPERS" yup, xda-developers. Not xda-I installed launcher pro to some craptastic ROM and I expect people to actually use it.com

Until then friend, maybe you should try something else.

Done.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] solarpolitiks:
It's not just that but if you remove rosie, why not all HTC widgets, etc?

This is literally deleting one APK and pasting another in its place.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kzoodroid:
A little harsh but funny. Gotta give the guy props for having the balls to post it. I myself made many kitchen built ROMs for personal use and never dared post them. Appears to me that many of the custom ROMSs here are just kitchen builds so what one more?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildstang83:
Actually no. No offense bud but I don't think any of the seasoned devs on here use the kitchen to "build" a ROM. All the devs I work with manually port our ROMs peice by peice. Less error in the long run. The only reason I have ever used the kitchen is to deodex, zipalign and sign. I don't even hardly use it for that anymore. 9 times out of 10 the kitchen is not capable of doing the things that we do to our ROMs.

Never ment to crush dreams or whatever with my first response, I just think if we are going to do something that makes changes to or effects other peoples devices we should take the time and do it right.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tjamscad:
Does that mean you didn't flash it? We all start somewhere. I did not mean to insult anyone. But there is a gap in the Rom selections. I like some of the sense apps that you lose when going senseless. I also don't like the button layout of sense. And the battery draining sense widgets. That is what I have done filled a hole
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kzoodroid:
Good to know that your building your own ROMs. Its hard to tell from all thats posted who to trust as a dev and who's just a hack. No offense to the op. CaptainKrtek had a post in the Eris forum last year about what it takes to be a real dev here, wish I could find it again had some good info in it.

If you really want to be a dev then start hanging out in chef central. The advice I had originally said came form captainkrtek actually was from cyanogen. I read it over a year ago when I was playing with dsixda's kitchen and thought of posting my own ROM. I posted a link below as I think its appropriate. Not sure why our dev section here isn't as nice as the Eris forum, they have a lot more info over there and being a former Eris owner I miss it.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildstang83:
Well xda is good about weeding the hacks and getting down to what we are really about in our developing. I prefer these forums over any others on the web except maybe the themikmik.com.

I am familiar with Captain K as I actually got my roots in the Eris. It was devs like workshed, tazzpatriot, gnarlic and conap that gave me my initial push.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildstang83:
gnarlycs one of the best. Self made dev there.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kzoodroid:
I'm familar with all their work, those were good times. Wish the Incredible had some of the stuff that the Eris had, like one-click root. Was happy to see conap over here with his dual boot rom, tried it for a while and only did so because I was familar with his previous work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildstang83:
Well we have conap and Team ADX. And now condemened soul is on the inc as well. I been working with condemened since he's new to the inc to help him get his first sense port up and running. I have a feeling that he will be bringing some of that underdog eris mentality with him. Which is good for us.

I would be willing to help the OP of this thread as well if he wants. I just hope he dosn't think I'm meen for my comments. I'm retired military and so I can be a bit grumpy some times, lol

Ok,

So I've had an Notion Ink Adam for a while. I also have a Windows Mobile 6.5 phone that can tether with the tablet fine.

I'm very interested in getting a Windows Phone 7 device. However, from what I can see, you can only tether it through USB with some special drivers? Does anyone know if it is currently possible to tether a WP7 device with an android tablet? Is there anyway to tether through wifi?

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldrifta:
1. im pretty sure you can just put the apk's in system/app folder... but since they're apps from market they might need to go into data/app folder.. not sure

2. you dont need to sign the apk's if your signing the rom.zip...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tvall:
I would suggest just installing the apps you want and pretending the others aren't there.

Removing important system apps can break stuff pretty badly. There is a page on the cyanogenmod wiki about what can and can't be removed. Read that then remove what you want. Also since the apps you want are market apps I would recommend installing them from there so you don't have to redo everything every time one of them updates
