[General Questions and Answers] Kasteo:
I saw a lot mention in the mod ROM about doing partition, setup swap, modify swappiness swap... Are there any good tutorial about these topic? I've search but can't find a good and easy one to follow.

Thanks, :p

Hello together,

after ive used cm7 for a while now... im getting somehow frustrated with

the small fonts in for example the market app (app descriptions, user comments and so on), same for standard-sms starting screen (sms-thread overview). So i experimented with the LCD-Density settings (standard is 120) and i found a LCD-Density of 130 results in a much better reading experience on that phone.

If LCD-Density is set to high things get unsharp...but around 130 is just fine for me.So is you are unhappy with the small and badly-readable fonts just give it a try.

A tool for doing this is available here at the forums. "LCD Desity Changer".

Only issue is that you cant use the rotation lockscreen-styles because they are not display properly. ( "Tabs to move" works properly, i have not tryed all)

Cheers
[Wildfire General] Titchen:
Thanks for sharing this with us.
[Wildfire General] wolfway:
130 crashes my wildfire and it seems i will have to reflash, so use with caution

*edit* okay after clearing my cache I can reboot without a bootloop, but it restored itself to 120 automatically. I'm not using it again until I'm sure it's safe to use :)
[Wildfire General] Nhs666:
hmm that surprise me,

ive tested it a lot with different settings and not a single crash......only thing was that on some density settings, ive got a coloured stripe on the menue-when it is highlighted. I use launcher pro.......
[Wildfire General] randomsaviour:
another way you can do this, is by using the spare parts app which comes preinstalled on cm7. you can change the font size, albeit in a generalized way, but I've had no problems from malfunctioning or crashing apps or any graphical glitches.

I hope this helps ^_^

sent from... -_-
[Wildfire General] wolfway:
I also use launcher pro. The moment i entered 130 my phone rebooted. It got to the PIN keyboard, with a tad weirder looking buttons, and then suddenly crashed again, and the boot it got stuck in a CM7 bootloop. But after wiping cash (no idea if this helped anything) it booted again normally.

Perhaps I'll try again later after a nandroid backup
[Wildfire General] poeken:
An issue I have found with LCD Density Changer, is that if you set it below 120, I get FC in .acore when trying to make calls.
[Wildfire General] dark_fighter:
i installed it but when i have 130 DPI the status bar and the wallpaper becomes blur, although everything else is much nicer...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] phreshjoker:
So I use the laucnher Launcher Pro... and its lagless and smooth. You have transition affects and everything. I use the scale and flip 2. They look the finest :) go check the laucnher out... p.s. easy to use while intoxicated~
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bl4ckpheniX:
I agree. And use it as my daily. If enough people request it. I can make some custom icons and docks for it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
i used to use it, until i started using ebproductions gingerbread launcher. It is much smoother and it is a 3d app drawer gb launcher. It isn't customizable though.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] CozzaFrenzyy:
Blackphenix you totally should! i love luncher pro its the best luncher in my opinion.

anyone know if its worth buying the plus version?

I ve recently been using goLuncher and i like the widgets that it has. Does luncher pro plus have widgets like that?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] phreshjoker:
Launcherpro plus has calender,facebook,messages, friends, bookmarks and I think like twitter and gmail
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bassmanjames:
+1 for launcher pro icon packs and themes

On the moon our weekend are so advanced they encompass the entire week
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Spider_Pig27:
yeah @ Blackphenix go for it bro...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] phreshjoker:
Dude please blackpheonix and I love your honeycomb theme for the ICBINB rom :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
+1 for launcher pro icons.

I bought launcher pro plus just to support the developer. He made something really customizable that I love. Deserves my money.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] phreshjoker:
Lol yupp I bought it too~ very smooth and lagless <3
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] peeturr:
I love launcher pro too. It occasionally stutters for me while scrolling through the 3d app drawer though. I don't even have that many apps.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] phreshjoker:
Keep in mind that part is still in beta~
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hunterwei:
Good tip. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] wrecless:
I have every paid launcher out there and I have to say ADW ex is by far the best because of all the customizations u can make including scroll animations like tumble slide cube ect.... if you know how to get the apps free try out ADW ex or just take my word for it and buy it it's well worth it. much better than launcher pro plus

or here is a video from youtube check it out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5uT3vNp2qc
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] phreshjoker:
thanks bro gonna try <3
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dnahughes:
go launcher ex is by far the best on gb2.3.6 the dev is very active with weekly updates and is by far the most customizable launcher out launcher pro development is dead and not even close to go launcher ex imo

How did you do it?

Post what steps you did, people may be able to help more
[Optimus One, P500, V General] varungnath:
Just came across a few posts. Apparently rooting doesn't void the warranty anymore!!!! Not sure about the credibility of the information. Ill post the source links at the end of this post.

This is the translated version of info found in the LG Italy- Facebook page (Thanks to Google translator :D)

"In welcoming the numerous requests received through our official pages on Facebook and forums staffed by us, we inform you that the "rooting" of our smartphone and the subsequent installation of alternative firmware does not void the warranty on the product of 24 months.

This management applies to all Android smartphones sold by LG Electronics Italy. It is understood that LG will not be liable for any malfunctions and / or loss of data due to different firmware from the original remain in force and that the warranty described in the postcard attached to the product."

Hope this doesn't just confine to Italy!

Source: LG Italy (Facebook)

(Note: Before you root your phone, make sure that the warranty is not voided, by contacting your customer care. Im just sharing this information, and wont be responsible for any damage (if) caused to your phone post rooting ;))
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gkarthik16:
What is the purpose of this new thread? There is already a thread by Ciaox

And according to that thread, it seems there are different stories told at LG customer care centers across the world.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] varungnath:
Sorry about the duplicate post. Didn't realize there was one already. Thought would share the info, since many still has a doubt on 'Rooting and Warranty'!

Cheers
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gkarthik16:
Not a problem. Appreciate your thought. Cheers:)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] varungnath:
India- Rooting voids Warranty

Received a mail from LG Customer care. Rooting will Void warranty in India!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Devil_Dude:
oh $#iT i m in India !!!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] varungnath:
May be it just voids software warranty and not the hardware ;). who knws!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gkarthik16:
Not sure whether we have separate warranty for h/w and s/w. And do not believe any mail communication from LG support. They are pathetic and generally don't know what they are talking about. Do not worry about rooting. If done properly it is not going to do anything to your device other than enhance it. Even if you make some mistake, it will not destroy your device.

Root and be happy :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] varungnath:
Think i should go ahead and root mine then! ;)

Cheers mate!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Kira.Lawliet:
You can always unroot, reflash the original firmware, delete other traces and kinds of files related to root, and you can use your warranty :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Rumzie:
Guys, this thread is CONFIRMED:

I had bought a G4 (Sprint) and rooted it. Don't ask me why or how, but I uninstalled Google Services Framework and caused the "Security Error" Bootloop and have tried everything to restore it. Unfortunately the phone is too new for all the KDZ/TOT restore files to be released.

I contacted LG and asked how much it would cost to restore a bricked G4. The person never gave me a price but said they would cover it under my warranty, so I sent it in 2 weeks ago.

Today, I just got my phone COMPLETELY RESTORED without being charged a dime!!!!

I cannot speak for G4 owners outside the US, but at least LG is stepping up their support game!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] PekingGoose:
And you were rooted? What did you ask them exactly? Just the charge for repairing a brick? No other info?

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j0e_ahm:
By my understanding you can't just flash the new gingerbread update 2.3.4 if your rooted and have s-off right?

(unless it's the rooted one which I currently have http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1175536)

you need to be unrooted with s-on?.. So I'm thinking about unrooting my phone using the automated way

(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=924923&page=13)

so now my question is it safe to do this with the rom I have? Because I have read forms that once you update to the new ginger bread you cant downgrade? Or that it's just a little more difficult to do right? ( I don't know if has to do anything with the rooted one I have btw) so if I unroot using that method well it root since I'm technically going to downgrade right? Since the unroot instructions says you have to flash the PD15IMG.zip (which I think it would be an older version.) So that being said can I just unroot using that method but instead of using the PD15IMG.zip they give you can I used the new gingerbreed PD15IMG.zip file SO WHEN THE PHONE BOOT UP I WOULD HAVE THE NEW GINGERBREAD UPDATE 2.3.4 :) well that work?!?!?!

reason for unrooting have bad chip..
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
this update i think is no different than the full RUU we had before, if you flash this or that RUU, you will goto stock unrooted factory mode, with just one think that may or maynot happen,....

1: for me i still have S-off, so i still do whatever i like.

2: for many they turned to S-on and now stuck with this ROM as this version 2.3.4 is not rootable at the moment.

[Galaxy S II General] Jake-CT:
Anyone see the hilarious "review" of the S2 on the unashamedly biOSed Guardian in the UK? Am new so can't link to it yet but it is the lead article on technology...

3 stars!?!
[Galaxy S II General] aydc:
All his criticisms can be easily alleviated with downloading apps from the Market, but for average Joe who just wants to use the phone as he bought it, he is right I'm afraid.

Out-of-box experience for Samsung phones is still nowhere near HTC, let alone iPhone. A great majority of phone users aren't elite linux hackers. They just want to buy a damn phone and use the damn phone. Samsung has a lot of ways to go in this regard.
[Galaxy S II General] Epic-Emodude:
He must have been reviewing a different phone if he says it had great battery life!

Also all the things he slated about gingerbread that apparently sense can do can be fixed with apps if they're that important to him.
[Galaxy S II General] on2a:
In all honesty do we really care about what the guardian or other mainstream media says? Anyone who does their own research will quickly work out how good this phone is..
[Galaxy S II General] mwiggi:
Where is this review, what to search on google would be useful.
[Galaxy S II General] AD29368:
yea i saw that review on my twitter feed this morn. He says its a dual core tegra @ 1.2 i mean do you research. i think the majority of things he says dont hold up cant see the problem with not having wifi etc on the drop down as opposed to a widget but hey ho. score seems low compared to other reviews done by ppl who know what they are talking about!

Bad reviews might potentially keep away some of the idiots that insist on filling this forum with crap so its a good thing.

Also, since when were we under the impression that journalists had the slightest idea about the subjects they cover??....

[Galaxy S II General] EarlZ:
Out of the box, the SGS2 is more functional than the sensation. 8hrs of battery life is pathetic in idle. LOL!
[Galaxy S II General] mwiggi:
If you don't want to use the feature then don't and stop *****ing about it!

*"One thing that Samsung has added is the ability to blacklist certain numbers, and to bounce numbers with text messages (eg "I am in class". Hope you're not on PAYG or getting many calls then.) "
[Galaxy S II General] Jake-CT:
He is right about the keyboard and wrong about the battery, but only because he hasn't installed anything on it to customize the phone. The funny part was spending time complaining about how you have to pull down the notifications (he's bound to love that in ios5) to turn off wifi when to me this is an advantage - I can do it right now without leaving this text entry - how is that worse than having to go to a homescreen widget?
[Galaxy S II General] Rockin_Zombie:
it mostly got rave reviews everywhere, this one doesn't count lol
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Seriously dude? I cannot even see how this can happen. That's one of the most retarded comments ever.

:confused:

Does this retard even know how to use a phone? I have found none of these issues. It's people like this that iOS was built for, people too stupid to think about anything for themselves.
[Galaxy S II General] Archer:
Meh. Can't please all the people all the time. In this case you nearly can though ;)

He can think what he likes. I do.
[Galaxy S II General] B3311:
Charles Arthur is a renowned Apple fanboi, I've hard many posts deleted from comment sections for no reason at all (well, some were valid...).

The Guardian as a whole is ludicrously biased towards all things Apple. Some of their guff is plain advertising.

Also pretty sure that a SGS in the photo, not the SGS2....
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
They've changed the pic to a I9100 now.
[Galaxy S II General] godutch:
I think you made a typo, I think you meant to say this ;) :

Out-of-box experience for Samsung phones is still nowhere near iPhone, let alone HTC. A great majority of phone users aren't elite linux hackers. They just want to buy a damn phone and use the damn phone. Samsung has a lot of ways to go in this regard.

And really it's true my GF loved my Desire, thinks it's much better than the iphone, but really can't figure out the SGS2 (she's an iphone user)
[Galaxy S II General] DiamondGar:
To be honest im not convinced the review is biased because he is generally comparing it to the Incredible S. It's just a bad review in my book. I can understand if he said great phone a few annoying niggles out of the box, and gave it 4 stars. But to not even mention that ALL the issues he reports can be fixed by apps is shocking.

If the S2 is a 3 star phone what would the likes of the ZTE blade or the Galaxy Apollo be. Phones that i know plenty are people really like but share the same issues with far inferior hardware? 1 star?
[Galaxy S II General] David Horn:
Actually, for the most part I do agree with the author (exception being the notification area for wifi on/off etc, which I think is great).

He's spot on with the keyboard, though. It's crap, Swype isn't much better, and you'll need to pay for anything. Currently using Swiftkey X, which is a good replacement, but doesn't work in the email app. WHY, SAMSUNG, WHY, WHEN IT WORKS IN EVERYTHING ELSE?
[Galaxy S II General] SBS_:
Swiftkey works just fine in the e-mail app, think they fixed it a couple of versions back.
[Galaxy S II General] godutch:
There was a swiftkey x giveaway in the amazon apps store sunday, too bad you missed it
[Galaxy S II General] jonny68:
I tend to ignore these type of reviews, there are only a handful of tech websites where ill take their word for it
[Galaxy S II General] Archer:
The best part of those type of reviews is the troll-fest that takes place underneath. It's flaming marvelous!
[Galaxy S II General] Jake-CT:
To be fair, they are probably doing it to be controversial, simillar to saying the tab 10.1 was "meh" earlier in the week (or because they really are paid by apple to slam rivals). It would be easy enough to edit the review a bit and sort out the rating without causing chaos in the comments (it was the 3 stars that compelled me to post more than anything, as others have said there are fair criticisms of the out of the box experience that are not off the mark) but they choose not to. To top it off, they then give the htc phone five stars, it seems to quell calls of apple bias, but they barely mention the phone until it swoops in at the end. Its a shame because apart from the tech section I find the paper as a whole good.
[Galaxy S II General] kbiz90:
Well said! Do we want people here that are swayed by a newspaper review?

Even the Engadget review had holes in it.
[Galaxy S II General] David Horn:
Which part of "using Swiftkey X" did you have difficulty understanding?
[Galaxy S II General] da.trute:
people in the know, know its all about the hardware as you can tweak the feck out of android phones, the reviewer probably wasn't aware of XDA, was an idiot or both :)
[Galaxy S II General] JupiterdroidXDA:
The guy is a complete ass, obviously on a retainer from apple.. Its funny how all the adverts use SGS2 now and not the iPhone anymore.... They do not know the power of this phone, they are idiots plain and simple!

[Galaxy S II General] jpasint:
My son, now 19, has been thru every version of the iPhone since it was new. Very few could consider themselves bigger iPhone fanboys than him.

Guess which phone he has now? Yep, GS2.

And he says its the best phone yet. I bought him the Nexus S and a MyTouch 4G but they were not enough to convince him to turn from his evil ways but the GS2 was.

I also have the GS2 and I have also tested every Android phone worth testing and the GS2 beats them all by a wide margin. Had the Atrix just before the GS2 and it was also a great phone but the GS2 creams it as well.

[Galaxy S II General] seshmaru:
In all honesty I would pick stock HTC over stock Samsung any day by a mile. The review isn't that wrong at all.

Sense UI is infinitely better than touchwiz.
[Galaxy S II General] godutch:
I was merely pointing out that last week swiftkey was free in the amazon appstore
[Galaxy S II General] kbiz90:
Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
[Galaxy S II General] jpasint:
Agreed.

I like Touchwiz because it is about as plain as you can get other than ASOP.

Sense uses wayyyy to many system resources.

Joe
[Galaxy S II General] godutch:
that's non sense how does having some extra apps cost resources if they don't even run?
[Galaxy S II General] skimminstones:
i got 2 paragraphs in i think before thinking its just not worth reading on. His main gripe seemed to be sense has better widgets, which to be fair it does have a few more but if sliding the notification bar down and turning the wifi on is too much for some people id suggest any smartphone isnt the right phone for them.
[Galaxy S II General] schrickm5:
I much prefer TW to Sense, its simpler and lighter. Just my opinion, not expecting everyone to agree. Dislike the review, sounds like he shouldn't have been given an S2 to review, yet on the other hand its good to hear all opinions on this magnificent piece of hardware.
[Galaxy S II General] Archer:
The Sense launcher itself, which lets face it is mostly what Sense is, is a very heavy resource, more so than most of the other popular launchers. But, since we've got 1GB of RAM it doesn't really matter.
