Not sure this is the right place for this but I'll start here. Just flashed OMFGB and I have no sound, couldn't find any other posts with the same problem. Can anyone help me with this, I really like some of the options but I will have to flash a CM7 backup before work tomorrow if I can't get the sound working.

Ha! Just realized that I posted and didn't tell what my problem was:) I don't have any sound? Ringtones, notifications, videos, music, nothing. Thanks in advanced for your help.

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] KAsp3rd:
Anyone able to pull the stock tw launcher from the stock app and post it? Does it require the framework from the tw rom or will it work with Gingerclone[AOSP]?

[XPERIA X8 General] york824:
Hi this is my first post here.

I have been using FroyoBread Rom exclusively since I got my phone, and very happy with it. The only issue is, that sometimes Launcher Pro is being unresponsive, or occasionally there are Force Close, especially after resource-intense apps like games.

I put a lot of efforts to solve this. First I installed the overclock module, the smartass module(which I gave up recently due to the fact that it doesn't play AAC music correctly when off-screen), and AutoKiller Memory Optimizer for better ram usage. The improvements are noticeable, not satisfying however.

Then I met Zeam Launcher. Setting it as the default launcher really boost the performance of my phone. It is also a bit confusing because when i check the video reviews in youtube.com I see a lot of people's Launcher Pro running as smoothly as my Zeam does. I learn that maybe there is a way to make LP snappier by adjusting its settings. I never looked deep into them because there are just too many.

Is there any detailed post or articles teaching people to improve the performace of Launcher Pro or ADW? I prefer these two to Zeam as they feel more complete to me. I also tried Go Launcher and love its functionality, but it is even more bloated.
[XPERIA X8 General] Camelstrike:
I had the same problem, but Ive found Go launcher EX a free launcher and great eyecandy, and it works really smooth on my phone with kuyadroid. Id say use the launcher that suits you, dont bother with reviews that much.
[XPERIA X8 General] york824:
Thank you.

I have removed Launcher Pro. Only Zeam stays now. Go launcher is great and much more stable than LP. It just has too many features that I don't need.
[XPERIA X8 General] corsav6:
Just another option, ADW Launcher, i find it the best on my x8, its smooth and simple to use with loads of custom options and plenty of new dockbars and themes from the market for free.

(P.S. LauncherPro wont let me add widgets, keeps saying no room on homescreen while ADW lets me add any widget regardless of size and i can resize by drag to suit my needs.)
[XPERIA X8 General] XperianPro:
im asking the same

luncher pro smooth but bad performance and adw and go launcher cool but not smooth.
[XPERIA X8 General] york824:
Zeam also does the resizing of widgets, one of the reasons I am sticking to it.

In ADW it is possible to scroll horizontally in application grid, which is great and I kinda hope that one day Zeam can have it too.
[XPERIA X8 General] doixanh:
I tried Zeam in the past, didn't feel the lightweightness of it but felt the lag/glitch/chop in app drawer screen. I think it was around 45fps or 50fps.

To me, "smooth" means 60fps, like scrolling/flinging in FroyoBread :D

I prefer everything being smooth :)
[XPERIA X8 General] sayamanta:

[XPERIA X8 General] york824:
After using ADW for a few days I have decided to go back to Zeam.

Seems that I don't need too many options or features for my home screen. I now have 6 screens and a lot of widgets on them. My phone still runs smoothly.

OMG!?It really works? oO'
[XPERIA X8 General] KASHYAP9:
launcher pro is not perfect as GO launcher ex is. Go launcher has task killing in itself

which improves its performance .

TRY xperia Arc launcher and Xperia Active Launcher both are smooth and fast and simple.
[XPERIA X8 General] nigi2010:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] bluedart:
Credit to bigrushdog for the modified file.

Although there are many ways to do this, I'm outlining just one method that worked for me to watch Hulu.com through a browser.

What you need:

1.Stock Gingerbread update

2.ROOT

3.Latest Adobe Flash 10.3 from the marketplace

4.Rootexplorer app or similar

5.A Browser with it's user agent set to "Desktop"

6.Modified libflashplayer.so

Let's get started:

1. Install/update Flash player 10.3 from the market and set it to never update.

2. Fire up Rootexplorer on your phone.

3. Tap the "Mount R/W" button.

4. Browse to /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib

5. Move libflashplayer.so to any backup folder of your choice

6. On your desktop (preferable), Grab "Flash 10.3.128.22 Hulu Modded" from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1076612

7. The file name should be "Flash_10.3.185.22_Hulufied_BRDizzle_signed.zip" Open it and browse to \lib\armeabi-v7a

8. Extract libflashplayer.so and copy it to a temporary location on your phone (doesn't matter where at this point)

9. Now move libflashplayer.so to /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib folder of your phone.

10. Still in Rootexplorer - hold down on libflashplayer.so icon. Set the permissions by check-marking the following

User->Read Write Execute

Group->Read Execute

Others->Read Execute

11. Reboot your phone.

12. Open up DolphinHD browser and change the user agent to Desktop (menu->more->Settings->Dolphin settings->User Agent->Desktop)

13. Go to hulu.com and enjoy

Optional:

1. If you rather use the stock Android browser then follow these instructions http://lifehacker.com/5547037/change-the-user-agent-on-an-android-phone http://lifehacker.com/5547037/change-the-user-agent-on-an-android-phone

- Type "debug" in the address bar and hit "Go"

- Menu->More->Settings->Advanced->UAString->desktop

2. If you prefer to not use a browser at all then grab and install "hulu.apk" from here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6888650&postcount=139
[T-Mobile LG G2x] edekalil:
confused?

I some how I'm loosing you when I get to this part:

3. Tap the "Mount R/W" button.

4. Browse to /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib

I have super manager and do not know where or what the "mount R/W" button is or what is equal to it. What am I doing wrong? I would like to see if I can get HULU to work on my phone.

Well I have figured out how to mount R/W and stuff. I uninstalled the flash player and instaled the new one. But no luck getting it to work on hulu. I'll give it a shot later on.

Thanks

[HTC Sensation] joshndroid:
i transfer a fair few files over bluetooth to the sensation but i noticed i have to make my device discoverable every time (by checking the make discoverable option) i was wondering is there a way for this to be constantly on? ie. when i turn my bluetooth toggle on, the phone will always be ready to be discovered?

cheers
[HTC Sensation] The_Biz:
Where are you sending them from? A pc? Set the ftp settings in the bluetooth settings on the phone. Also, there should've been an option to always allow when you sent the 1st file.

ツ
[HTC Sensation] joshndroid:
yes a pc... windows 7 x64... i have ZERO problems transferring files and these work perfectly.. as for the ftp i can turn it on or turn it off.. never had any contact with this so not sure what you mean?

as for this... thats what i thought (like an auto connect) it seems to need to discover the device each time before the file Q pops up on the device to be accepted, etc...

what would be great would be a way to send the file... not have the device need to connect or be accepted each time but my OP is my main annoyance lol
[HTC Sensation] The_Biz:
Go to the devices option on the pc, find the phone, right click, delete it. The go to the devices on the sensation and click the pc, unpair it. Also, go to the advanced setting in bt and select the ftp option. Now, on the pc - look for new devices and make sure the phone is discoverable. Let the pc find the phone. When they find each other, w7 should have you put a code in the phone, do it to and on 1st transfer, Inc Oh should be prompted on the phone the. Always allows.

Hope that helps.

[HTC Sensation] bonesy:
Download Bluetooth discovery widget?
[HTC Sensation] joshndroid:
that definitely seemed to fix the problem files transfer straight away.. i noticed not into a separate bluetooth folder but that would seem to be due to the ftp setting but that is not a problem and makes them easier to find anyway... great thanks for the help.. thanks button hit!

lmao!!! BUT JUST remember. not every tech will know everything about rooting. We try. but sometimes, we just don't have time in our lives.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lokifish Marz:
Agreed. Considering the level of experience I have with deving and testing it's even more frustrating as an ISC tech. ISC techs are generally ignored and denied Sprint forum access simply because they don't work at a corporate location.

I agree with this point as well however it can be very difficult and time consuming to dig through the phone to see if it's a corrupt ROM, incompatible app and so on or just user error.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedudejdog:
what about if you have a hardware problem (usb port) and you've already taken the phone apart?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lokifish Marz:
If the tamper sticker is missing that puts the burden of proof of "customer tampering" on the service department. Expect the phone to be thoroughly inspected for signs of tampering. If no evidence can be found then it's treated as any other device.

My two questions to you are: Why was the phone disassembled and are the solder points (aka pads) on the board intact? The first one is because I'm curious but the second determines if the device damage is classified as defect (pads intact) or abuse (pads missing or pulled up from the board).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedudejdog:
the phone was taken apart to sand the black paint off the rim to make the phone red. clearly tampered with :D

i didn't think to check the usb port while i was inside the phone but i know it's my fault. i used a cheap off-brand car charger one time and ever since then it's been loose.

my question mostly leads to, is it worth it keep my TEP for $7/month when my phone won't be able to be repaired because the tamper sticker is gone and it shows very awesome and visible signs or customer tampering.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runcool:
once you like do something like that, WHY ON EARTH would you pay 7 bucks a month? LMAO! OMG. lol. However, YOU CAN just say you lost the phone. haha. But if it is a cool tech, maybe he'll cut you some slack if you tell him you'll pay up whatever is needed to fix the issue.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] illatwill:
Sooo, I have a question for you. I've been trying to deal with this for over a week now. The battery life on my Evo has been horrid as of late. I've had the phone for a little under a year now. I'm not exaclty a n00b. I know how to flash ROMs, kernels, ect. Battery life was never really a problem (not the best, but I knew what to expect). I could get around 22-26 hours with moderate use on a normal day. All of a sudden (since flashing a sense 3.0 ROM) my battery life was took a complete dump. I'm lucky to get around 6 hours of use now. The battery drains almost 15% in about 5 minutes after being unplugged from the charger and exponentially after that.

I already unrooted the phone, rooted it again, flashed a new ROM, and nothing seems to help. I took the phone to Sprint and they said the phone and battery checked out perfectly fine. Well, I'm not buying it as obviously something here is not right. If it's not the battery then it's the phone and they should be able to give me a replacement as I'm stil under the 1 year manufacturer warrenty that they do indeed cover correct?

Well, I dropped off the phone today for over 2 hours only to have it returned, not replaced, and told they "updated" it. I'm still having the same exact issue so what do I need to do/tell these people to have the phone replaced!?

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lokifish Marz:
To clear some things up. A proper battery test takes 6-8 hours, any store tell you otherwise they're full of it. It's also generally agreed that any ROM/Kernel change needs atleast 2 days of use before you can trust battery life results. In addition, a battery calibration should be the first thing done with a ROM/Kernel change.

I personally feel that if a user flashes a custom ROM/Kernel and it has an adverse and unresolvable effect on the phone that it should not be covered however Sprint rooted phone policy says otherwise. You also have to consider that any replacement will end up being a refurb and I'm not sure how things are where you are but I wouldn't take a refub in my regoin unless I had no choice.

in reference to # 2,4 and 5. I dropped my phone (EVO 4G) and got it replaced with TEP and paying the $120 deductible about 3 weeks ago. The phone now has a 3/4 of an inch long curved scratch on the screen. (i thought it had gorilla glass) so would this be covered as per # 4 or is it once again a deductible for the phone as outlined in # 5 above.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lokifish Marz:
The screen, as I was told, has a higher silica content than Gorilla Glass so it is more prone to cracks and scratches. The bad part is that scratches, even on the screen, fall under #2.

My EVO is having screen separation issues. It started as light leakage and has gotten worse. When you press the capacitive buttons you can feel the glass move and squeak. I currently do not have tep and was wondering what my options are. The phone is 8 months old. I know there is a signup window for tep for any phone starting August 1st. So if geting my phone repaired or replaced will require tep that would be nice to know. Also since this is a known issue would this qualify them being able to trade up a Nexus s or shift? Thanks for your help!

Anyone?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
Then you are still under the 1 year warranty. Take it to a corporate sprint store, and they should repair or replace it for free under warranty.

Insurance is only used for when your phone is out of warranty, or if you are in warranty and YOU do damage to the phone (i.e. water damage, dropped phone, etc). Your problem is a hardware defect and is covered under the warranty.

I highly doubt they will just replace your phone. This is a simple fix, you just need a new glass (digitizer). They will for sure try to fix it first. If they cant fix it, then they would order you a refurb. If for some reason there isnt any refurbs, then and only then will they let you upgrade to a nexus s.

Screen separation is a known issue and a service center should have no problem fixing it. They will most likely replace the LCD assembly.

RANT

Yes you do have that right but before you do please be aware that I work as a phone tech because I want to, not because I have to. I'm warranty service certified with six computer/portable electronics manufacturers, have been doing component level repairs since the C64, authored the ONLY English service manual for the Russian/Ukraine Kiev 60 medium format camera.

One thing all these things have taught me is that knowing and understanding the hardware opens many doors for a systems improvement and development. If it wasn't for the fact that the Evo is capable of many of the functions of Atrix, I never would have bothered spending 16hr days helping HDMI output development. The Evo Desktop also would have never existed either.

With that out of the way. I have no issue with laughing at those that don't want to understand or refuse to understand a device they use every day, do stupid stuff like install four different task killers, flash an HD2 ROM to their EVO.

If a person can't understand a thing but is willing to admit it and accept instruction from those that do or doesn't understand a thing and is willing to try to learn that is wholly different.

BTW my co-worker , who holds a degree in software engineering, also does it because he wants to. Which would you rather have a tech that does it because he wants to or a tech that could give a **** less about the tech he works with.
