[HTC Sensation] mamarda:
I have rooted my Sensation using "Perma-Temp Root!!! Updated on 7/9*/2011" then copied sylfaen.ttf(Georgian Unicode) font to system/fonts directory, I checked with root explorer and font was in that directory, but after restart, font has disappeared. there is also app on the market which installs that font. but it needs reboot to take effect, so it couldn't help me.

on my rooted DHD with that application I added Georgian sylfaen to my phone, and it worked fine, after update was released of DHD, which has locked bootloaders, I made that update, my DHD was no more rooted but Georgian fonts were working.

now I have a question, why locked DHD has not deleted this font, and why Sensation deletes it after restart?

I pulled the notification center background off my 4th gen iPod Touch running 5.0beta 2 after not being able to find it online. I set it as the notification background on my HTC Incredible and it looks pretty nice, but just not really my style. I know a lot of people here are into the iPhone themes so it may come in handy for using as the notification background.

haha yeah, I was looking at that when it was first announced and thinking, "cant wait for all those iPhone "im better than everyone else" users to say how awesome their notification center is, and then we can say we've had it the entire time.

I do like the background though..would look nice on the Ultimate iPhone MIUI theme...you mind if I link the creator to this if he wants to use it?

[Omnia 7 General] jg7:
Hi everyone!

I am contemplating jumping on the WP7 bandwagon. A little background, I'm coming from webOS (had a Pre- and a Pixi+) and Maemo (currently have a N900).

Right now I'm in the process of choosing between Omnia 7 and LG Optimus 7.

From what I've read here and elsewhere, the Omnia 7 seems to be regarded as one of the best (if not the best) WP7 devices, the main selling point being the superior display, which seems to be perfect for WP7 with so much black being used. It's available for €220 here.

The Optimus 7 is the cheapest WP7 phone around here, it would cost me €160. Inferior display, but aside from that it seems to be pretty good.

So, my question to everyone who has handled both devices, is the €60 more worth it to choose the Omnia over the Optimus? The Optimus is just so damn inexpensive...

Thanks a lot :)

PS: I hope I'm posting to the correct forum, the xda intro video left me little scared ;)
[Omnia 7 General] chemeng:
Well 60eur difference is not that much... but keeping things in perspective, in your case, the Omnia 7 is almost 40% more expensive than the Optimus 7. But let's get straight to the facts...

In the blue corner, coming form Samsung, Korea... the undisputed WP7 heavyweight champion Ooomniaaa 7

In the red corner, from LG, Korea.... the contender

Omnia 7 / Optimus 7 (winner)

Display

4.00'' inch diagonal VS 3.8'' (Omnia 7)

SAmoLED VS LCD (vast win for Omnia 7, way deeper blacks)

Sunlight legibility, viewing angles (Omnia 7)

Colour reproduction: Omnia 7 tends to over-saturate, meaning it has more warm, bright colours that tend to be out of reality though. If your current monitor is a LaCie, and a calibration tool is your friend, you may be put off by Omnia 7 display, but you are not going to PhotoShop on your phone, right?

Pentile Matrix is a a theoretical disadvantage of Omnia 7 because you are not supposed to keep it 2 iches away from your eyes. But I have to note it down.

Camera

Same specs... but

Omnia has slight edge here (Proof: http://www.gsmarena.com/piccmp.php3?idType=1&idPhone1=3537&idPhone2=3532&idPhone3=3338)

Check the line edges, and see that Omnia 7 lens catches more fine detail. May be more agressive over-sharpening, but it does the job.

Battery life

They have the same capacity battery, Li-Ion 1500 mAh, official specs are not a means of measure (anyway they trade blows in different fields), but at least theoretically Omnia 7 should have a small advantage if you choose the dark theme, because of SAmoLED

Design

Both are quality made devices

I like more the Omnia 7 design (but that is pretty subjective)

Capacitive back/search keys vs hardware

Capacitive keys make Omnia 7 look more elegant and advanced, but physical keys of Optimus 7 are pressed when they are meant to be pressed, but with the latest Samsung firmware, when you play full screen games, these keys are deactivated to avoid accidental presses.

Homebrew

Both Samsung and LG seem to have some sort of write protection in the filesystem, which will make homebrew a little more difficult.

HTC devices allow both read/write access, and they are superior in that area.

Preinstalled apps

Both companies have 2-3 customised apps just for their phones, not something earth-shuttering though. Call it a draw. HTC with HTC Hub has got the upper edge here.

Want my opinion? Go for the Omnia 7.
[Omnia 7 General] jg7:
Thanks for your elaborate answer!
[Omnia 7 General] Nakazul:
The Omnia 7 screen is so good. Looked at my friends Optimus and darn, i think the only, and really big issue with the LG handset is the bad screen. I belive it's a longtime since i seen somthing that horrible!
[Omnia 7 General] Ikkari:
I'm using my Omnia 7 as my main phone but a friend of mine bought a Optimus 7 3-4 weeks ago, an we switched phones just for fun for almost a week.

I would stick with my Omnia.

The Omnia ist just looking better....the overall feel and the display...

The camera is also somewhat better in my opinion

But the Optimus 7 is also good phone and has some pros

I like the fact that it has Hardware buttons...

And there are a lot of great LG exclusive Apps!!

DLNA, Scan Search (the AR search App), a nice Bar code reader which don't have to take a photo first and so on...
[Omnia 7 General] Ikkari:

5 mins. ago suddenly my phone powers off and never booted. I just got a nandroid backup and then wipe cache & dalvik. It works! But I am wondering if I lost any user data or not.

Any ideas?
[Android Software Development] antloh:
No, you should not lose any data.
[Android Software Development] willverduzco:
Correct. It does not wipe any user data. That is all in the /data partition. It will, however, make the following boot take a long time, as it rebuilds the Dalvik cache.

i'm trying to decompiling settings.apk with apk manager.

decompiled with dependancies ( framework-res.apk ) made my own modifications, recompiled - zipaligned without sign, but when i push back settings.apk on phone and made a reboot it says "application not installed" when i try to execute it.

any advice? thx

xxjvq rom versione btw. deodexed ofc

SOLVED: just decompiled without dependancies and all went fine. thx anyway

[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
Let's say, for example, I uninstalled some apps in Titanium Backup. System apps such as MMS.apk or Contacts.apk, etc. How would I go about installing these apps back to my phone? I know that Titanium Backup does not restore them if you uninstall them. So is there another way? Because trying to install the normal way does not work.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kelmar13:
Yes, use Root Explorer (or similar file manager app) to put them back in /system/app.

Alternatively, you can always use ADB to push the files back.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
I tried this method and neither worked. I've literally tried everything. It's not that I can't flash any ROM I want to get it back its just that I'm trying to change up some of the theming of the stock apk's.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
That's how you install them. Is /system mounted as RW when you're trying?
[Verizon Droid Charge] tcollum:
So is it safe to assume you deleted the backups in TiBu, then?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
Right before I uninstalled MMS.apk, I backed it up with TiBu. When I tried restoring, it would just sit there "restoring" for several minutes and would never do anything. It never restored.
[Verizon Droid Charge] dragonstalker:
As funny as this thread is. Dude. go to your rom .zip and extract the files from the /system/app directory and reinstall them.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
That's has been discussed already, no luck. Thanks though.
[Verizon Droid Charge] dragonstalker:
then extract the entire /system directory.

adb push /\system /system
[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
So you say I should pull /system then put in the MMS.apk and then push /system back with the MMS.apk in it?
[Verizon Droid Charge] dragonstalker:
no. i'm saying take the /system from the .zip of whatever rom you have downloaded and push it to your phone.

It will overwrite whatever you screwed up. From what you are saying, you have done more then just delete some apk's. If all you did was delete them, then you should be able to put them back. The fact that you cannot tells me you have been doin more then what you are letting be known.

Alternate suggestion.

REFLASH YOUR PHONE.
[Verizon Droid Charge] chewyrite:
If you do the root explorer and it didnt work, you might have to go into the app's settings and give yourself permission to edit these directories......
[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
Yes I know of these ways, I was trying to figure out a way to do it for a single app as opposed to flashing the whole system back on. It's not that I have a problem and can't get these back. Thanks for your input.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
Did you reboot after you put the apk(s) in /system/app so that they'd be re-populated in the list?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
Yeah. I've literally tried everything. Maybe my flash of the new leak, 2.3.4, was no good. Thanks for the help though. I'll reflash the full package and start fresh with someone elses EP1F, maybe the one I downloaded was a fail.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kelmar13:
Just making sure... but you have removed the apps completely and are just trying to add the old backups back in, right?

Do you have the apps somewhere other than Titanium Backup?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
When I removed the apps, I uninstalled them completely, they were nonexistent in /system/app
[Verizon Droid Charge] lufc:
Please keep the Thread Clean and on Topic or the Thread will get Deleted
[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
I just tried doing this AGAIN with a legit stock Browser.apk. It did the same exact thing. Won't install after reboot. This seems to be a problem with the EP1F leak.
[Verizon Droid Charge] dragonstalker:
if you have adb run a logfile while you are doin the install so i can see the error.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
Aright. Will do.
[Verizon Droid Charge] dhemke17:
Once you drop the app into the system/app folder, go in and manually change the permissions to rw-r--r-- and reboot your phone. It will be there upon reboot. This is a very common issue, when extracting it, and dropping it, it will have the wrong permissions, and even after you fix the permissions and hit install, it will fail...just reboot and your app will be there.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
2 things went wrong.

1. I could've swore I was on a deodexed 2.3.4 leak. I'm not.

2. I was trying to move the wrong apk, which was tied into a deodexed ROM.

It's deodexed now, and works properly. Thanks for the advice as I will probably use some of this in the future in case any other problems happen.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sadiadurani:
hi

i have tried several cwr roms but only one daf rom , the imilka desire z rom. the good thing about the rom was that i could copy the data file on my sd card which made me install all the basic built and applications on sd rather than in the internal memory. however i dont know but the rom was really buggy and slow. so i switched to cwr, an another desire z build . the problem with this rom is that the internal memory is now only 120 mb. not all applications are movable to sd card using app 2 sd and again the phone has become very slow

i looked around boyppc and wanted to try their desire hd rom. but it gives many option like cwr, cwr(clean) , daf and daf(clean)

please tell me what is with the (clean) thing

2) also let me know if i am using zip rom is there any way i can copy the data file on my sd card like that of daf so to make internal space more.

thanks in advance
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Yerdan:
A daf(clean) or CWR(clean) version mean that a lot of apps like, twitter, Facebook, flicker, etc... have been left off the Rom to improve System space. In addition certain wallpapers or ringtones and anything else that might be seen as an add on may be left off as well. Most of these apps/ wallpapers can still be downloaded from the market

As for your second question, I have a Tmous phone but I will usually install an EU version (if applies) of a Rom because it is usually set up with an SD-ext

Hope this helps!

You can root now, or root after updating. You could also just install a pre-rooted rom like VillainRom or Lightning Rom. I recommend the 1st, it's built on android 2.3.4, which has a lot better battery life.

Hi,

I have a problem with every android 2.1 ROM tested so far (Sense and non-Sense) on my bluetooth car free speech device (Parrot MK9100). The Contacts transfered via bluetooth seem to mix up, some numbers go to different contacts, some contacts end up with 10 numbers.

With android 2.2 ROMs everything is fine. The problem now is, that for my htc hero the android 2.1 ROMs are a lot faster, especially the ones with sense compared to the 2.2 sense ones. So I would like to use a 2.1 rom, maybe there is a fix?

thx

Good for you :-) .... But it depends on phone set up, what apps you are using, brightness level and so many other factors.

I get around 12 to 14 hrs with moderate to heavy use. I have around 5 email accounts to sync, 2 to 3 hrs of web browsing, 1 hr of a2dp music. I'm pretty happy with it, others may get different times based on usage and set up.

[Galaxy S II General] JupiterdroidXDA:
I don't believe his screen was on for 11 hours, and its a percentage of the battery, not a percentage of time, lol

This in fact concludes his screen was practically not on at all, plus he was probably using 2g as well. Using 2g only extends battery life tremendously

Edit: NM. Just clicked on Display. My battery is at 37% after being on battery usage 12 hours and screen on for 2 hours. I have some Messaging apps open in the background that take up less than 5%. Only 7 min of calling all day and probably about 15 minutes gaming. The rest was texting and web browsing. Is that pretty good for battery time on the GS II?
[Galaxy S II General] JupiterdroidXDA:
Probably about 10 minutes, lollol

Anyone can get tis duration by transfering to 2g only, using the phone only when needed on zero brightness, and underclock to 800mhz, hell you could even get this at stock 1.2...
