@thebrave - I'm not so sure.. On my previous phone, HTC Desire, the picture was twice the size and in much better quality.
[Galaxy S II General] 513:
It's because pictures were donwloaded with "Facebook For HTC Sense" and not with the app from the market.
[Galaxy S II General] r_a_c:
On my Htc it was good aswell. On the sgs2 it ugly as hell.
[Galaxy S II General] pUrebloodXP:
I have seen the app called "Full Screen Caller ID" in Android Market but that app just seems bloated and it's just not "quite there"... Try it and you will see what I mean.. :/

I would much rather prefer that Samsung made their own version of a fullscreen caller id facebook integation for the Galaxy S2 phone :cool:
[Galaxy S II General] d3l1:
that issue was present on the HD2 (running Android) as well after people synced their contacts with FB, all the picture where looking like the one in your screenshot.

All my contacts are only synced with google and all my picture look great.
[Galaxy S II General] yetep:
Anybody else think Stephan looks like a Swedish rockstar?
[Galaxy S II General] pUrebloodXP:
FIXED (the picture quality but not the size)

Back to what "513" said about HTC phones using Facebook for HTC Sense I found out that the SG2 also has two different Facebook accounts that can be synced.. "Facebook" and "Facebook for Social Hub"..

By using the "Facebook for Social Hub" account, instead of the standard one, my phone downloads the profile pictures in better quality (see attachment)..

However the size of the picture during a call doesn't change. It is still a very small thumbnail, as a matter of fact in most cases it's a little smaller because Facebook for Social Hub uses the images with the correct aspect ratio, but still restricted to the same max height/width..

- However this is still an improvement :)

Encoding mismatch. His phone codes video in a format that your phone can't play. Try some video software in market. VLC maybe.

This is a blue-ish theme (as the name suggest) that I've been working on for a few days now. There will be more updates coming, hopefully.

Should be compatible with Modaco based ROMs, not sure about stock yet, and unlikely to work with CM7.

[LG Optimus 2x] gestho:
OK got it. Loos great :) good work
[LG Optimus 2x] stevvie:
Wow nice theme. Love the blue market and sliders. After installing this theme though the 100% battery notification box pops up again, without this theme on fear rom the 100% battery notification box never pops up. Also would like the pull down power bar to be darker. And just to be really fussy I like the colour settings and not to keen on the black and white settings.
[LG Optimus 2x] Imperticus:
getting rid of 100% notification box, and a darker pull-down notification are both planned. this might take some time, as I'm quite busy :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Imperticus:
New Dark status bar is up. hope you like it :)

Download over the normal version
[LG Optimus 2x] Slash75:
is it possible to have just the lockscreen?

and the dark status bar just round the battery or the stuff that goes down the well??

I'm looking for just the drum circle. Oh, I forgot, I'm Fr19
[LG Optimus 2x] Imperticus:
I was feeling generous, so i made this as you requested..

circle battery and the lockscreen for FR19 :D

download here

(and dont forget the thanks button ;) )
[LG Optimus 2x] mhasan90:
oo like the dark notification pulldown, thanks :D
[LG Optimus 2x] Ming-Z:
Really nice work !

I flashed the Blue Theme without any trouble but I didn't succeed to flash the Dark Status Bar, it returns me an error (Status 0)

What can I do ?
[LG Optimus 2x] Imperticus:
Try this - http://imperticus.com/android/blueelegancedark-sb.zip
[LG Optimus 2x] mgsmith:
hi,

very good looking theme, my best so far

what is the launcher shown in the picture?

and can you post a link to download it?
[LG Optimus 2x] Imperticus:
The launcher is called GO Launcher EX, you can download it from the market and its free :D
[LG Optimus 2x] meistertom:
hi imperticus,

could you give me some advice how to change the toggle buttons in the pull down menu? i have created my own theme via UOT but i have no clue how to get the buttons like in your theme

thx
[LG Optimus 2x] Imperticus:
The buttons are in the lge-res.apk inside /system/framework/

Hope that helps :)
[LG Optimus 2x] meistertom:
thanks for the info :-) last question. do i have to decompile the apk or is it just a matter of pushing files?
[LG Optimus 2x] Imperticus:
you can do it both ways.. good luck :)
[LG Optimus 2x] meistertom:
Thanks a lot!! :)

Your problem is, that you cant read or think :D

You have a hd2, thats not an official windows phone 7 device.

you can either search for the dft-build of mango (very early version) or wait for someone to build a full functional rom for our hd2.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] TheATHEiST:
Sometimes it really surprises me how some people even manage to turn their devices on never mind flash WP7 to their device.

@ OP

Ofoucrse you cant update, You dont have a WP7 device so how on earth do you expect to get teh correct files you need via update?????

What you have is a modified version of a rom designed to boot on your device you need to manually add a new rom to your device. How do you think you are going to get teh correct files vis official update, magic fairy dust???
[Optimus One, P500, V General] drakull:
I'm curious about something... there are some nice tutorials and have been some good effort from some devs to add support for custom ROMS for people that flashed the official GB 20g.

My question is, why would anyone update to the official GB just to flash the same ROMs that were already available before?

Is there any advantage? Out of my noobness I can see none, zero... just baseband problems.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gkarthik16:
Some people just like their stuff to be branded. And people tend to think that official ROMs would be bug-free and more stable than custom ROMs. Its based on personal choices and mostly they would be returning back to the custom ROMs IMO :p
[Optimus One, P500, V General] FnH84:
Well, not everyone even knows about custom roms, nor wants to try them. Some people just want a working phone. But I do have to say that official firmware IS more stable than a custom rom. Of course even official ones have bugs, but you rarely get kernel panics, MAJOR battery drain, lose functions etc with the official ones.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Kira.Lawliet:
Sometimes the custom kernel is at fault not the custom rom you see.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] drakull:
I agree with everything you said. I never had more battery life like when I was using stock froyo with franco.kernel. Heavy wi-fi, 3G and GPS always on, moderate gaming, 480/748 OC, a whole bunch of widgets running and about 40 hours of battery life.

Sure custom roms brings lots of advantages like much more overall performance, especially CM7, but they also bring small annoying bugs and, despite everyone saying otherwise, major battery drain. I have tested all custom roms available for O1 and none of then gave more than 12 hours of battery life.

I'm now playing with official GB 20g and franco.kervel since yesterday, let's see how the battery behaves.

Anyway, I understand that DEVs want to give they ROMs support for the new baseband since it will soon be installed on the majority of devices, but my question still unwanswered: Is there any advantages on installing a custom rom over 20g? Will it be more stable or have more performance comparing to installing it over 10x?

i bought silicon case and two screen protectors from ebay UK. the silicon case is nice but the screen protector is ****. haven't had it more than a week and already a lot of small scratches. just by wiping the screen with a cloth gives you more scratches. altough it was really cheap so i probably shouldn't expect more.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] comrad:
I mean in the web browser - if you want to use the slidebar in the video to move forward / backward. Is it just me or does it really suck badly ? Like in a youtube video (but basically in any other flash video you can find online):

1.) the slidebar is very thin and requires a hell of a motoric coordination to use and avoid miss-clicks etc. Sometime you change its position and it will slide back.

2.) then finally even if you succeed in rewinding the video it often just "hangs" (especially when you try rewinding subsequently couple of times) and all you can do is just reload the page. This happens in close proximity to router when speedtest app shows 32/4 Mbit and < 10ms pings. While on on the desktop (and on the wire) you can rewind as many times as you wish easily and without problems.

Try to compare 1.) for example with stock video player - any way how to make online videos slide as easily without first downloading them ? The whole thing to me looks like they put flash into the new gen of phones as a marketing trick. Like the hardware capabilities are all there but the software still lags behind and it is not optimized for handheld devices - is this correct ?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macowner:
Does anybody know how to root a gtablet using a mac computer.

I have searched through several websites and gone through the instructions, and

now am stuck in clockworkmod.

I next tried to nvflash, but get stuck at the stage where you go into apx mode and can't do this instruction:

Click on computer icon-->Properties --->Device Manager -->right click APX and choose update driver.

Is it just a matter of finding the mac equivalent instruction and if so, what is it?

I have thought about turning my mac into a windows machine and then going through the instructions, but this requires partitioning my computer into part windows and part mac- which i want to avoid because it involves decreasing the mac memory portion. Another option is just borrowing a friend's PC to root my computer.

Any other suggestions? Thank you!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K J Rad:
There is no Mac native nvflash. I use Ubuntu Linux running in VirtualBox. It doesn't require partitioning your Mac just set up a virtual drive for it and it has the added benefit of not needing special drivers for APX mode.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reynard80:
I have been trying some roms over the last few days and experience quite a big difference in speed. Some roms lag quite a bit, especially when opening sense apps.

My question is, does this depend on the speed of the SD card? I have a class 2 now (ordered a class 10 though). Are sense apps run from the SD card or the NAND?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pipusz:
Yes, it depends on the speed of the SD card, as in case of custom ROMs, all the apps are usually stored on the external partition. Plus at least a class 6 card is suggested in order to avoid the lags.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shankly1985:
I wouldn't buy a class 10 SD card for use with the Desire. Not all class 10 cards work, you best bet is class 6.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reynard80:
Is sense also stored on the SD card in case of custom roms? Or just the apps?

Well, ok, the class 10 has been delivered today, so I'll check it out tonight.

What kind of problems could a class 10 have in the desire? Not working at all?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bradshort:
Class 10 works ok as long as they are a respectable brand. Also you may want to consider installing SD Booster from market to increase deafult cache size to 1024kb or 2048kb
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shankly1985:
Performance problems, the cards not doing there proper write and read speed. Let us know how you get on with new card please :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reynard80:
Have tried the new card. It's a Transcend 16GB Class 10. Getting about 18Mb/s sequential reads and writes in windows.

Have benched it in stock froyo on my desire with SD Tools: 14,5 MB/s write and about 8 MB/s read. Strange that the read speeds are lower. Then again, it seems that there are no reliable SD speed benchmarks on Android..

Hi!

There is an option on Virtuous Picasso v. 1.0.8 rom that let us safely remove external storage and SD card.

Is there any way to add this option to stock rom or any application to do that?

I've searched the forum and noting have found.

Thank you!
[Acer Iconia A500] bbubelis:
Star80 - Can you even "see" the External SD card in Virtuous Picasso v. 1.0.8? I was using v. 1.0.7 can could "see" the card on the Task Bar. and even had the option to remove it. I upgraded to v.1.0.8 and lost that option, so I fell back to v.1.0.7.

I've tried several 3.1 ROMS since and most don't give you that indicator or option to remove.

yes I can see that.

and there is an indicator for safely remove external SD and storage.

Please help!

My HTC TP2 freezes at start up with a white screen and the HTC Logo and some details in red at the bottom:

B 80

R 4.49.25.17

G 61.44tc.25.32U

D 1.86.67102

No USB connection can be established.

What happened:

1. Tried to update from original WM 6.1 to WM 6.5 by using the official HTC ROM update utility. Seems like the phone was in pilot mode during the update. the updtae process was completed and i clicked finish. the device was to restart and the white screen problem started.

2. Restarted phone and multicolor screen appeared and stayed. After connecting with USB cable again "USB" appeared at the bottom but cannot connect to the activesync no more

3. Restarted again (by removing the battery and hit power button) and state reached like described above (HTC TP2 freezes at start up with the white screen and the HTC Logo and some details in red at the bottom).

4. Performed a hard reset but did not help.

What can I do to bring the phone back to life?

[HD2 General] temp_tsun:
Dear all,

at this moment I am trying to repair the micro-USB connector on my HTC HD2. At the moment it only charges when inserted in a certain angle, this is not very convenient and as I am willing to experiment, I want to replace the micro-USB by myself.

Therefore I've brought some soldering tools and such, I haven't opened my HTC HD2 yet, as I am doing preparations first. However I am stuck at what micro-USB female plug I should buy to replace the one on the HTC HD2 (european edition; 512 MB).

Can someone give me advice? I would like to replace the micro-USB port with one that is exactly the original model. I've found the following products on Farnell, please type micro USB female which one should I buy? Or does someone have any other recommandations?

I will try to keep you guys posted on my replacement procedures.

PS: I am unable to post links as I don't have a lot of posts, however I spend a lot of time reading posts here.

[HD2 General] temp_tsun:
Hey, thanks for your response, however I'm not really comfortable with the price, it's even more expensive than my cable, as it is in pounds. However can anyone identify what kind of micro usb this is? (Type)
[HD2 General] RDionysus:
temp_tsun,

You didn't state where you're from, or in what country you'd prefer the vendor be located. But to answer your question:

It's considered a "standard" Micro-USB, or more precisely a 5-pin micro-USB "Type B" port. Google around for those keywords in conjunction with phrases like "HD2/Leo charging port", "...charging connector", etc, and you'll find some vendor candidates. Looking around for a minute or two and comparing prices I found this one: cellularpartsusa.com/htc-hd2-charging-connector.html. Cheap, but I don't know anything about the merchant or what their shipping rates are. Also, I remember reading somewhere that other OEM versions of this part may be compatible with the HD2, possibly the Blackberry Bold. So, expanding the search I found

sw-box.com/Usb-Charging-Connector-Port-For-Blackberry-Bold-9700-Curve-8520.html and

cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400203459666&hlp=false, but you better ascertain first that it's the same part since I can't be 100% sure.

Hope that helps. Good luck with your surgery...:)
[HD2 General] temp_tsun:
I'm sorry, I'm from the Netherlands. I own an EU version of the HTC HD2. I'm currently delaying my surgery because the order of several soldering tools are delayed. I will try to make pictures and post them online to help others a) preventing the mistakes I made (and my phone will probably die :() b) showing others how I did it and hopefully more surgeries will succeed.

PS: I'm going to order this one, hopefully on monday I will have it =).
[HD2 General] hesian:
Did you manage to repair this yourself ?

I also have a broken USB port, which I since found to now be detached from the circuit board when I disassembled the HD2. I don't think I am good enough to solder a replacement (as it is so small!), so am keen to hear how you went ?
[HD2 General] singh_60:
i'd like to know too, as i foolishly returned the phone to HTC and had them break it completely for me. They offered a new motherboard for £215 or aboy $450 dollars outside of warranty. now i need a charging mat and am back on win mo 6.5.

Found this the other day in my parousing for accesories for the tab but noticed it hadn't been posted here.... decent selection, close to 300 designs.... Stupid cheap... about time i've been looking for a while for more than just the carbon fiber ones.

[G Tablet Accessories] sjmoreno:
The first thing I noticed is that 99% of these "skins" are in portrait mode. I use my gTab in mostly landscape mode.

The second thing I noticed is that there is no link to the wallpapers for these "G-Tablet Skins" for you to download and use to blend with the skin on the bezel of the gTab after you purchase and apply one of these. I saw there are wallpaper links for other devices but couldn't find one for the gTab.

So this may be exciting for some folks but I didn't find it useful. What I would find interesting would be skins that could look good in either portrait or landscape mode (like the carbon fiber skin I already have).

Also, since I have my gTab in a CLIP case about 85% of the time I seldom think about the skins anymore.
