[Desire General] nqk:
Facebook, Twitter, etc are what I want to remove.

Anyway, while waiting for the official 2.3, I managed to root the Desire. And I'm told that by rooting, I would not get OTA updates anymore. I will try to flash a 2.3 before the official one comes out.

:cool:
[Desire General] Lothaen:
Google+ will be the next one then! :)
[Desire General] poltak11:
Well here in Aus, Telstra (the telcom who distribute the Desire exclusively) are planning to go ahead with the whole stock AOSP gingerbread update. Dunno how it will work... I'm sure quite a few unknowing owners are going to have a shock when they upgrade to find no Sense anymore (whether that be a good or bad thing for them).
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Can't see HTC allowing that as Sense is what they sell as there unique selling point. They wouldn't remove Sense to please a few customers
[Desire General] pumpkinpatch:
nqk, I've been running Insertcoin on my Desire for the past few days... I highly recommend it. Haven't looked back since installing.

OK so it's Thursday now, which definitely qualifies as *later* in the week. Seems to me like HTC's hitting some road bumps on this update. (Am I being too hard on their software engineers?)
[Desire General] Lothaen:
I agree -

so... how's the Sensation? :p
[Desire General] EddyOS:
It's awesome!! SO much better than the Desire IMO. Slight possibility my Aunt just got an unbranded unit so possible swaps on the cards ;) Anyway, this from HTC UK's FB page this morning:

"Update: 30.06.11

Hi all- We're excited to share that we are testing our build of Gingerbread for HTC Desire and will start doing quality assurance for it this week. When we have an update on availability we'll post another announcement. Thanks for your patience."

Nearly there...

Update on FB for HTC Desire

Update: 30.06.11

Hi all- We're excited to share that we are testing our build of Gingerbread for HTC Desire and will start doing quality assurance for it this week. When we have an update on availability we'll post another announcement. Thanks for your patience.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
I was about to post this

but here's the link anyway https://www.facebook.com/note.php?saved&&note_id=225607660802056&id=122897397739750
[Desire General] Lothaen:
haha

yes unbranded are so much nicer...

I haven't had a banded handset since my Nokia 3210...
[Desire General] geojoshi:
There is one nice comment on that FB announcement ...

yo HTC it not nice of you the way you are treating you customer , way don't ou go check from XDA how they made the things happening so fast for all device and you not , you should hire them instead of your developer, they will rebuild you a better image in customer service ....
[Desire General] EddyOS:
That's a load of ****, why can't people just accept that HTC don't want to be running a custom ROM. Get over it and go custom if you don't want to wait on HTC
[Desire General] chichoko:
As soon as i saw the update for the HD being rollin out, i came here to check out if anyone has heard any news.... thank you both for the update :) One step closer...

Sent from the infinity and beyond...
[Desire General] pumpkinpatch:
I'm looking to make Insertcoin my semi-permanent ROM in the next few days unless HTC pulls off a miracle soon. It's just a matter of which comes first - the update or my new 32 gig micro sd. The race is on!
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Someone over on Androidforums is saying they've had the OTA from Three UK - trying to get a version number out of them

EDIT: False alarm, guy has a DHD
[Desire General] chichoko:
Ask him which sense did he get... or do we know already?

Sent from the infinity and beyond...
[Desire General] Lothaen:
How many more people are going to mistake a Desire for a DHD? :D
[Desire General] pavel54:
It's simple, 2.1 ;)
[Desire General] iLHaNroID:
seen a new article on eurodroid today; it is in test stage for the moment which can be commented that it has been finalized (almost) by HTC and soon to be released (guess in a week)
[Desire General] Lothaen:
Where's htc911sniper when you need a leak :(
[Desire General] chichoko:
Thought so myself mainly because of the Sense.com support (with all the tidbits we found on that site about our beloved Desire) but just wanted to make sure because, it would make sense with all the indications floating around, that we might get the 2.1 aswell... I cant really think how will it be when i abandon Oxygen for stock Sense again...

Sent from the infinity and beyond...
[Desire General] Lothaen:
TBH I am not sure what the issue is with giving phones access to htcsense.com either - it seems fairly basic and simple... when you actually get on to it.

track phone location via gps

forward messages

forward calls

make phone ring

lock phone (does that mean lock the screen???)

block phone

I was thinking it was so, so much more - but i think when I read up about it features of that, and laputa, new sense UI features, etc. all blurred into one :)
[Desire General] tricky-tricky:
Get rid off stocks, that silly bookmarks widget, and footprints... I always remove those apps from the ROM I use. I like friendstream...
[Desire General] Thermaltake868:
If you go on manage applications and select all you will see a bounch of useless things like:

streaming media player

stocks

rington trimmer (never see that program but he is here lol)

quickoffice

quick lookup

peep

news

news and weather (why two news hmm)

mail (I am using gmail, never use this one)

location picker

footprints

flickr

facebook

there are two calendars (why? dont know)

pdf viewer (why do we have adobe reader then on maket for nothing???)

frindstream (never use that two)

latitude (never use it)

Removing all that that would be enough memory for anything.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
while all the above is very true, HTC suggested they don't want to remove any HTC bits as that will 'make the experience less' :(

I still stand by my decision that moving junk to HTC Hub would be a million times better (as well as junking stuff like quickoffice that is available in market)
[Desire General] Thermaltake868:
Where did they say that ? I didn't heard anything.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
well the reason they didnt want to release a GB rom was because they couldnt make it work nicely with sense.

I am sure they said they would cut apps that were available in the market shortly after reversing the decision to release it, as they didn't want to affect the sense experience...

I am sure they said something to that affect on their FB article which i can't find now

http://www.facebook.com/notes/htc-uk/desire-and-gingerbread-update/225607660802056

maybe I am imagining it :D
[Desire General] Thermaltake868:
I think you are. They only said that they will cut some app. and we can download them manually from market if we want, sense will be the same like he is on every other HTC device that have sense 2.1, thats whats official, I dont read rumors or stories of people guessing stuff becouse 99% of them are lies.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
can't download stocks from market, or footprints, or teeter etc.

that's why I think they won't cut any of that. (but could download it from htc hub if they decided to make it available!)

don't think htc said anywhere it would be sense 2.1

so it could be anything from 1.9->2.1 imo
[Desire General] Thermaltake868:
I know for footprints and other app. that you can't download from market, but I was talking for tweeter,facebook and that kind of apps that you can download. GB normally comes with 2.1 sense it would be stupid to put 1.9 on Desire and 2.1 on Wildfire S that doesn't make sense, but we will see I think everything will be like on any other phone with GB but some apps that you can download from market will be removed, thats what I think.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
HTC put on peep as the Twitter client, not Twitter client sadly. 1.9 sense was on the leak.
[Atrix 4G General] Tikerz:
Anyone using it on the Atrix?

For those unfamiliar with this application and think it's just another "Task Killer", please read:

[Atrix 4G General] droid_does:
I havent' used it on my atrix before

but I screwed up my captivate with it before and it would cause me to have continuous bootloops until I got rid of the app

can't comment on the atrix though....plenty or RAM for me on the atrix ;)
[Atrix 4G General] WiredPirate:
Dont use task killers on the Atrix! Watchdog is a much better choice!
[Atrix 4G General] droid_does:
That isn't a task killer if you've read or used of before

Sent from my blurry atrix using telepathy and Tapatalk
[Atrix 4G General] WiredPirate:
Read my post again. Thats my point exactly. Here Ill say it for you again try to keep up.

Dont use task killers on the Atrix. Instead, use Watchdog. watchdog is a much better alternative to task killers.
[Atrix 4G General] droid_does:
and I'll say it again....did you even read the thread linked in the OP? :p

FYI I do use watchdog ;)
[Atrix 4G General] WiredPirate:
lol This is a task killer. It may not be in an app form, but its designed to kill tasks before (the Atrix thinks) they have to be killed. To me runaways are the only tasks needed to be killed. And Autostarts keeps apps from opening automatically on boot. My atrix never lags, maybe after a few days and I do a reboot.? I still say task killers are no good. But to each his own, hopefully those apps dont just open back up defeating the purpose for you.:cool:
[Atrix 4G General] Tikerz:
Autokiller is not a task killer. It doesn't actually kill anything. It just tweaks the threshold of when Android thinks or "the Atrix thinks" certain types of processes should be terminated. It's done when memory is low and doesn't kill running processes like a third-party task killer app does.

http://geekfor.me/faq/autokiller/

Anyways, I just remembered about it after being away from Android for a year. Used it with the Hero and EVO 4G before and it worked great. Trying to find the best settings for the Atrix...
[Atrix 4G General] ChongoDroid:
No... simply no. You read that age old "task killers er bad mmkay" nonsense a looong time ago. I know what your thinking of and its usually referring to task killers with a "kill all" button. Pressing such a button is useless because as you state some apps you kill will boot back up thus eatingcpuandnotreallysavingbattery.... blah blah. Well if you kill games and other such things (rogue apps) they don't just pop back up.

Last but not least autokiller isn't even a task killer... it has one built in but so does Android. But I'm sure someone already said that. :)
[Atrix 4G General] ChongoDroid:
Autokiller is great all tho the stock settings allow for much more memory to be allocated to the foreground app and background app. Using anything but will give better battery but I find nothing is as smooth as the stock settings. However check out the advanced tweaks for some goodies ( sdcard speedup, battery tweaks, etc) do NOT use the io scheduler tweak as it sent my phone into bootloop and I never investimagated. Good luck :)
[Atrix 4G General] Tikerz:
Thanks for the feedback! I tried IO scheduler and also got a bootloop.
[Atrix 4G General] WiredPirate:
There are multiple -task killer good/ task killer bad- arguments on the forums. We dont need another one so Im not going to respond to your claim of task killer good. Anybody that wants to can search and find the info and decide for themselves.

Nobody ever said autostarts is a task killer! Really, its true! ^^read for yourself^^ it was never said or implied.:p

[Galaxy S II Accessories] Rsaeire:
I've tried the following 3.5 mm stereo headsets on my Galaxy S II but I still can't find one that fits my needs.

1. The in-ear Samsung headset that came with the handset - I don't like in-ear headsets for making calls

2. Samsung stereo headset (AAEP404) - The receivers complained of an annoying echo on calls

3. HTC RC RE160 - Volume was too low on calls so I couldn't hear the caller

Has anyone found a good headset that works with the Samsung Galaxy S II that isn't in-ear or Bluetooth and has good call quality and volume? The in-ear Samsung headset almost meets the requirements, as it has enough volume when on calls and there's no echo on the receiver's end, but I can't stand in-ear headsets while on a call.

If anyone has any ideas or suggestions I'd really appreciate it.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] themissionimpossible:
I tested the Blackberry mono 3.5mm headset and it worked well regarding the call management button and the audio levels.

I haven't tested the BB stereo headset, but I suppose it should work equally well.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Rsaeire:
Cheers for the reply. I'll have to look out for the Blackberry stereo headset so.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] chaosreign:
Yup. I tried the Tt esports Isurus and works like a charm.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Samuel Rozenberg:
Working with FM ?

Does one knows if one of them is working with radio app ?

coz this apps requires antenna found in the wire to the ears (checked on third contact line on jack).

thx in advance
[Galaxy S II Accessories] neoand12:
Beats by Dre with control talk seem to work well with the SGSII I was actually shocked that it did.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] angelomaldito:
Have you tried adjusting the volume using the Samsungs "secret" codes?

A tutorial for that can be found in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=741012
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Rsaeire:
Both the Samsung and HTC stereo headsets I've linked to in my original post work perfectly fine with the default radio app on the Samsung Galaxy S II.

Okay, so I've bought an iPhone headset and a Blackberry stereo headset on eBay so I'll update the thread with my results. I've read, and heard, nothing but good things about the iPhone headset so here's hoping it's as great as people are making out. themissionimpossible, I certainly hope your theory is right that the Blackberry stereo headset will work as well as the mono one you tried...! :p
[Galaxy S II Accessories] themissionimpossible:
Blackberry mono headset works flawlessly as an antenna for the GS2 radio app.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] clwheat:
The Sennheiser MM30i smart remote with mic works so far and sound quality is very good
[Galaxy S II Accessories] big_adventure:
Klipsch X10i - works perfectly, except the volume controls on the remote don't work, sound is AMAZING, FM works beautifully, call quality is great, though the mic is placed at the "V" and is therefore a bit low compared to others. Headset is extremely expensive.

Sennheiser MM70 with mic works perfectly. sound is good, FM works, same deal with the mic remote - middle button works for answer, drop, pause and skip, but volume buttons don't work. Not very expensive, but not giveaways either.

Shure headset with the Shure mic remote - mic remote works perfectly for pause, skip and cal answer/drop, but the mic is horribly placed unless you use the clip. It's also a heavy brute. They have their newer modular system that has the mic inline on the cord that plugs from the buds to the player directly - that might work better. Sound is based on whichever Shure bud set you run. Expensive to extremely expensive.

All of the above sets are loud enough to watch non-DRC'd movies on public transportation.

iPhone headset - bllleeeaaaaargh. Simply atrocious sound quality and volume levels.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artjrv:
I have a basic question about the CWM recovery mod using fastboot. I just loaded the updated .img file with no problems. All works great! My question is do I have to delete the first .img file? Can we just keep loading updated. Img files using fastboot without ever deleting the old files? Won't it take up more space?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prscarp:
Everytime you flash a new img file to the phone, it overwrites the "img file" on the phone. So no, you don't need to delete the older one. Hope that explains it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bmann_420:
I have searched around and not sure if its just on gingerbread software or not. I use smart keyboard pro and on CM7 or any gingerbread based rom, their is a small green arrow under the txt for placement. That is super handy and i miss it on froyo ROM's. Anybody have any idea of how to get that? Do i need to flash a GB keyboard? Not sure since I noticed it worked on smart keyboard, so i figured it might be an integrated feature, so it may not be just teh GB keyboard.

But that helps me a ton! So I thought I would ask after finding nothing on the forums.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] vilimmarijan:
New android user here (3 weeks) and I just got the new Infused on my phone last night. But im not too sure on what the actual differences are? I know it had a different launcher (one i didnt like because I like 5x5 icons) but thats all that really seemed different to me. The status bar looked like a diff with a diff battery icon and a few different icons. Not trying to be a downer but what is the main reason people switch over to the Infused rom???
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Frooty:
The main features are Voodoo lagfix and sound. The lagfix changes the filesystem that the phone uses to one that is much faster which makes your phone faster and smoother all around. I'm not sure on the details about Voodoo sound but I believe it basically installs different sound drivers that make better use of the high end sound card that the infuse has, making all of your music sound better.

There are other things such as other speed improvements, removed stock AT&T apps, and new themes as well.

Basically, it makes your phone way faster and better, themes it, and removes all of the unwanted crap.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] vilimmarijan:
Speed I havent noticed too much yet, but it was also fast as hell before and im coming from an iphone 4 so the big speed jump from that made this one less noticeable to me. So basically it uncluttered the phone and mades a few things different so they ran more efficient and cleaner?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] vilimmarijan:
and is there anything special I can do now? I know it says unbranded app market so what apps are there that I couldnt get before?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MotoMudder77:
pretty much explains it.

Now if only reporting the misplaced post didnt require PMin a Mod.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] vilimmarijan:
It was a question about the infused rom which is part of development so I figured it belonged here, sorry for the mistake
[Samsung Infuse 4G] b3asty:
I think moto was saying that you could have posted this "in" the Infused ROM thread.

I'm on Infused 1.5 too. There are a wealthy of improvement built into the rom. See the change log for everything you need to know man.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
I'm surprised this thread is still open. I'll answer the question anyways. the rom is based on the updated firmware, many people are unable to get it ota, it is deodexed which removes unneeded files that take up space, it is zipaligned(not completely sure what that really does) att bloat is removed, sensor related batery drain is reduced, wifi poling is less frequent(saves battery if wifi is enabled but you are not connected) low mem killer is tweaked(may improve performance) rfs file system is replaced with ext4 with special mount options for best performance without losing data (there are faster file systems but many don't have journaling or are not very standard), it has an improved driver for the headphone amp with bass boost and presets for recording levels and quality settings. a launcher with less lag and transparent background, cwm recovery without a need to mod 3e recovery.

basically it is a bit smoother, which may be hard to notice because the infuse runs pretty good, it has less of what you font need, and it has somethings you need made easier. and even things you didn't know you wanted but once you try it out you won't want to get rid of it
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Fbn02:
Please excuse the dbag, quite a few of them here, but there are enough helpful people that make this place usefull.

Rom developement forum is for the devs to post info on roms. I think they prefer questions in the rom thread itself or in general.

Motomudder77 , good job making newbies feel welcome. He said he was new to android. So reading the change log 100 times would do no good. If you cant post something helpful then dont post.
