Ok, I spoke too soon.. I have noticed that when my wifi connection icon is green, everything works, but when it changes to white, then market, youtube, etc.. stop working. They just say loading until I get an error message? I thought the kernel swap would help but it didn't. any more suggestions?

If you have sdk installed its just a driver package. If you don't have sdk installed the link is a pretty easy tutorial to do the full package.

Hey, does this support 1080p recording?
[Fascinate Android Development] FDro:
Dont think that is possible
[Fascinate Android Development] JuniorBevins:
You may need to reinstall gapps, or wipe your data/cache. Had that problem too and the wipe helped.
[Fascinate Android Development] JuniorBevins:
When its white, consider it not connected...when its a color (blue or green, depending on your theme) that means its connected. If that happens, flip it into airplane mode and back out, it should reconnect. Its a known bug.

[Fascinate Android Development] mtw4991:
Got an issue that I'm not sure how to resolve... rooted using odin and cwm4_fixed_for_cm7-ODIN.tar, booted into the blue recovery using vol =/- and power button and made a cwm backup. wiped data/factory reset and flashed CM7 plus gapps_0613. All good so far, although gapps didn't install but CM7 did???

Then I used the power button to boot into recovery (Green) from CM7, reinstalled ROM+gapps(installed this time) and rebooted and all was good. Even made a CM7 backup in recovery.

HOWEVER, now my contacts are gone and the original backup with the "blue/purple" CWM has a date of 12/1/99. I tried to restore it and it says "restore completed" when finished, but when I go to reboot, it stays/hangs on the "Samsung" logo for like 10 mins.

Anybody know how to get contacts back? Evidently, my daughter didn't have Google Sync enabled to sync her apps/contact info! fml Any help is appreciated.
[Fascinate Android Development] kuronosan:
Did she save a contacts file?
[Fascinate Android Development] cuebask:
Up and running with otb 0704 kernel@ 1.2

[Fascinate Android Development] M00NEY:
I think your problem with contacts is right there. The gapps package is the google account bit. When you booted to cm7 first time, did you go through the google account setup?

If not, fellah gapps and profit.

MMS should be functional on the upcoming nightly build

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,6858
[Fascinate Android Development] kuronosan:
Neato, jt... So that would leave signal bars as the only other main fix left and then your kernel would fix everything else. Great work. :)
[Fascinate Android Development] kuronosan:
The install process is exactly the same for all three so I'm not sure what kind of answer you are wanting.
[Fascinate Android Development] spartan.062:
Would the changes implemented in a nightly be overwritten if a kernel were to be flashed over it?
[Fascinate Android Development] M00NEY:
Only if said change was part of a kernel included...

I am not the guy to know what is handled by the ROM and what is the kernel, but they do different jobs. So it would depend on the update as to what gets overwritten.
[Fascinate Android Development] mackeydesigns:
Can I flash back to 7/17 if I flashed the latest nightly?

Totally didn't see that MMS and signal bars weren't working and here I'm trippin out I have no signal. :(

[Atrix 4G General] cwburns32:
Yes, I read the other threads out there but no true answer.

I have a ton of apps in my auto-end list... I've heard two things, keep em on there and let them kill them but I also heard for Android 2.2 and above it actually hurts the battery life because it takes more juice to restart the app after being killed then actually leave it running. Any insight on this at all? I currently have every app that isn't a widget on the auto-end list and would like to know if I should stick to this or get them off there?
[Atrix 4G General] Phoneguy589:
I added and removed stuff on the auto end list and it doesn't seem to make a difference to me. I started to "freeze" apps from starting by using Titanium Backup. I know it costs a couple bucks but whenever I change ROMS, it reinstalls all my apps that I had downloaded. There's apps like weather service and news, DLNA, and a few others that I don't use but when I look at running apps they are running. Hope this helps.
[Atrix 4G General] OSNPA:
I use Gemini App Manager to alter the auto-start conditions for every app. Apps don't start until I start them. Isn't a noticeable difference between startup times for me. Once they are running, I let them run or quit on exit if the option is there.
[Atrix 4G General] cwburns32:
I have TiBu and do freeze apps I don't use but I'm talking like the Market staying open after you shut off the screen or the messaging app, etc. Not apps I don't use, I'm actually talking about apps I use, apps I don't use are already frozen.
[Atrix 4G General] thebeardedchild:
I wouldn't have anything on auto-end list... It basically force closes the app every time you exit out of it then, which is a big no-no.

The way I see it, if an app is using battery in the background, it needs to do it and shouldn't be closed. If it doesn't need to use any battery or processing power, then it won't even if the task manager SAYS it's still running (it's really minimal).

Task killers are probably only useful to kill apps that are going haywire and running when they shouldn't be...In which case, reinstall or just don't use that app.

But I say, don't put anything on auto end. If you are worried about losing battery, lemme tell you I get two days of battery life and I don't do even have a task manager. I just use setcpu to underclock while the screen is off/while I'm sleeping/etc.
[Atrix 4G General] KefkaticFanatic:
I wondered about this too, and while some people still claim to get better battery life with one, I always see articles like this: http://androinica.com/2010/05/googl...-imply-task-killermanager-apps-are-pointless/ that tell me you should never use one ever.

There's also this quote that seems to argue that it's more harmful:

I keep something around to easily pick out running apps to force close if they're borking out on me, but I don't have any auto-kill or kill all running apps with a whitelist or anything.
[Android Software Development] 5thElement:
I dont understand what some of these devs are thinking when they develop mp3 players software/widgets

1. Every widget out there sucks. None of them can move the slider over to a different location of the current track, all they can do is move to the next track or back and pause, but nothing else. :( Sucks.

2. The actual payers in full screen mode also blow chunks IMO. None of the have visualizations. Even Winamp, the founder of visualizations on the PC, does not include any in its android player. Sucks :(

3. Its even worse with android tablets. android tablets need widgets with far more functionality than just moving to the next track and pausing a song. Its pathetic IMO.

Did you even read my post?
[Android Software Development] killersnowman:
Lets think about why there is no timeline slider on a widget. When you place your finger down on your android homescreen, on a widget, an icon, or empty space and slide it side to side, what happens? Your homescreen starts to move to the next one. So what do we want to break in order to have a timeline that we can slide? Should we not be able to swipe between homescreens? Honeycomb does have the ability for a user to swipe down and up on Widgets to make them do something, but some of the Gingerbread roms like cm7 have customizable gestures like swipe up and swipe down. So should we break a feature in order to guarantee we could have a vertical timeline? I dont think so.

If these apps/widgets are as bad as you say then SOMEONE should step in and make a nice one... Hint hint hint

From something awesome
[Android Software Development] rogier666:
What happens when you swipe your home screen depends on where on the screen you swipe.

For example, in GO Launcher swiping up a dock icon launches a custom app. I have five icons in my dock from which I can launch five different apps by swiping up. Swiping up anywhere outside those 5 regions toggles my notification bar on/off.

The same can be done for horizontal swipes: swiping the timeline of your music widget vs. swiping anywhere else on the screen.

It may not work with the stock launcher, but how many here on xda do not use a custom launcher?
[Android Software Development] sageDieu:
Everybody already said what I would say about the widgets...

for the visualizer thing, it isn't fair to say that anything without a visualizer "blows chunks." there must be reasons, I too have wondered why there are no apps with visualizers but that shouldn't be something that makes every option suck no matter how great the app might be.

Sent from my MIUI SCH-i500
[Android Software Development] sageDieu:
and you say "poor quality" in comparison to what? no mobile device has any of the things you say are required for it to not suck. you should do some research, find some great music apps like ubermusic, playerpro, poweramp... they look good and have good features. they have good widgets as well which realistically use what they can... (which to add to the widget argument, it is not simply developers who choose not to, it is a restriction of android and/or launchers that widgets can't swipe sideways.) and for a phone, a visualizer would really be useless... when I play music on my phone I press play and put it in my pocket. I'm not going to waste the battery watching a spectrogram or something.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] OoZic:
Yesterday I needed to take a picture and used my Galaxy S. for it. After that I connected my phone to my laptop USB port and got an unknown device error. Assuming it was a driver problem I re-installed them keeping the same error.

I also got telephony problems before, after some minutes calling the other side couldn't hear me anymore and I needed to put the call on wait and back to continue the call.

Both problems together made me decide to update my Darky 10.1 Extreme edition to the latest 10.2 Extreme edition. I took my sd card out and copied the darky 10.2 zip to it using my laptop. Put it back in and used Astro filemanager to copy it to the internal sd. Because I can't use the usb port this was the only way.

Rebooted to recovery and flashed 10.2. After reboot the screen stayed at the boot screen with green Darky text for half an hour without doing anything. No vibrate or anything. I did read some info about 10.2 before i downloaded it but missed the lagfix point. Tried to get into recovery and luckily that worked. Turned on the lagfix, did hear the computer voice 2 or 3 times and last time it said lagfix was enabled. Rebooted to recovery again, checked lagfix was on, also for next boot, and flashed 10.2 again. Same problem, hangs at bootscreen.

Turned lagfix off again and flashed the old 10.1 again. Same problem again, this time only bootscreen with white SG text and both button lights on. Nothing for the rest. Flashed back, after lagfix enabled, to 10.2 again without luck. Again bootscreen only.

Someone knows how to fix this? Because of the usb problem I can't use Odin. I did read somewhere now there might be a cable problem or a dirty usb connector on the phone. Checked the connector visually and can't see any dirt, I also keep it closed when not using it.It does load the battery also when connected to my laptop. At least it did when I first got the unknown device error.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] from.insider:
1) USB Error

I am not sure you have Only installed the USB driver alone or Kies it self. Anyway, try this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265. Scandisk with delete currupted file on your disk drive and replace with default window file. You can reinstall your driver/Kies on your laptop after scandisk complete.

2) First, you must come from JVP or JVQ base rom. JVO and older rom have older bootloader. What you need to do is to flash JVP or JVQ stock rom with bootloader into your phone. Then, flash over Darky 10.2 over the phone. Take note that Darky still have many problem and it is not that stable yet. I've run it over a week and decided to dump it. The rom is too big at 215MB where else others rom only 195MB. The startup is too slow, take 5-10min after reboot the phone. The initial start up takes nearly 15min after flash.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dukebigalow:
If your boot takes so long, you doing something wrong :)

First boot, yes... it takes some time. But then, the animation isn't finished yet and I'm already good to go :) (after media bla bla bla)

@OoZic

For darkys rom... i had the same problem.

First flash Ficetos resurection 10.2, then make shure lagfix is ON (full lagfix - check in voodoo control app) and then flash 10.2 extreme edition

[Galaxy S I9000 General] TiMMMAngeLa1312:
I had the problem too
[Galaxy S I9000 General] OoZic:
Thank you for your reply from.insider :)

Problem is the phone can only do bootscreen and recovery. The device isn't recognized in any way. Tried it on 2 computers (laptop/PC) with different multiboots (Win7 X64 and Vista X86 on both). Maybe that is because the OS isn't loaded and can't go to MTP?

Is there a way to copy something from external SD to internal SD within recovery menu? Because that way I can copy a JVP or JVQ image to internal. Now there are only the 10.1 and 10.2 zips from Darky.

FSCK didn't find any problems btw.

Thanks again.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] OoZic:
Problem solved, my Galaxy is unbricked and working again. Very happy now :)

Can't post a link because of low post count but the answer is on post-87372 on Darky.com.

The USB problem also went away, but after using Titanium to put my backup back the problem was here again. something in my settings or a service is screwing something up with the mtp I think. Used Android Booster to kill some things and it works again. As soon as I know what exactly is screwing up my mtp I will let you all know.

Everyone suggests hardware decoding (h264) for videos to avoid excessive battery use. But then again the current hardware decoder in stock has the jitter problem on pan shots. XviDs in moboplayer have no jitter whatsoever. I would be interested to hear whether other people had experienced significantly higher battery usage using software. To me the jitter is unacceptable. I hope they sort it out in 3.2

So... I got completely screwed over. I didn't know about this new hboot that's screwing people who want to root their phones. The glass on my phone cracked badly, so I used my insurance to get a new EVO. I kept on trying to use unrevoked on the new phone, then finally searches the forums to see the bad news; made me want to punch a baby.

Anyways, since the original sense is killing a part of my soul, I'm going to switch back to my old phone for the ten day grace period before I'm required to send it to the insurance company.

I did notice one thing however... This new phone is running really smooth! So I'm wondering if the phone got its hardware updated, or was it just my old device getting worn, or is my build what made my phone slower than this new phone. Any thoughts?

My old phone is running cm7.0.3.1, the latest bfs savages Zen kernel. Dunno... This new phone just runs like a dream.

[General Questions and Answers] CashmereEsquire:
Idk where exactly to post this but....

Pretty much Im about to go to VZW now I want the iPhone 5 when ever that comes out but I need something to hold me down until stable shipments comeout (after all the glitchy and buggy ones are gone)

I need to get off my ATT plan which is why I`m not just waiting until it releases.

Is the DX2 that much of a step up performance wise from the DX?

I browsed the DX2 forums and the dev community looks non existant, and I actually like the fact that the phone is dual core, but I wanted to get Motoblur off it ASAP even though it might not be bad if I just use a launcher but I wanted to throw MIUI on it or something.

The Droid Inc 2 looks decent, but I like the form factor of the DX2/DX better.

So my options are

Get the DX offa ebay and go month to month with VZW then when I`m ready to get the iphone sign a contract for it

OR

get the DX2 or Inc 2 and when I`m ready to buy the iphone , flip them and just pay the diff to buy the iphone.

Any suggestions?

Hello guys

i recently updated to gingerbread (thru RUU - official rom release)

soon after that i started getting 'memory low' warnings, and when i check i have very very little free RAM (like about 10 mb). this happens when i open like 2 or 3 apps (say market, browser and skype or so), soon when the memory runs out android kills htc sense which is so annoying because when i hit the home button i have to wait for the sense to start which takes a while.

now i notice that i only get about 320megs of ram reported to the system (i read somewhere that thats normal behaviour)

does any of you experience the same problem and do you have any solution to this situation?

Hi, I experienced the very same issue when I flashed the ota update and searched around a bit for a fix. However I couldn't find one.

If you are already rooted * or feel comfortable rooting your phone, I'd suggest trying out the virtuous sense 2.0 rom. It's based on the ota gingerbread update and includes several enhancements (i.e. a littler overclocking, tp wake and more). Most importantly though, after flashing that there have been no more reloads.

*this is obviously nonsense, since the official update doesn't come with root, sorry

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thomas_wlc:
Yes, root for stock gingerbread has been achieved just a little while back.

Have a look at the AMT v1.8.5 thread in the development section. It's about a tool that's supposed to simplify the rooting process and, as far as I know, works on gingerbread too. Or look up one of the guides for doing it manually.

You need to read a little more dude..please don't give information you aren't sure of. There is NO permroot for gingerbread after the update or there would be a thread dedicated to it
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thomas_wlc:
First off, I'd like to apologize for my previous post as that probably left the impression, that you could just achieve root on your existing gingerbread build. This really isn't possible.

What I meant to point out is, that using the AMT tool should allow you to gain temp root (or so the op claims). After gaining temp root you have to downgrade your phone to 1.34, where you can finally get perm root.

Please do correct me if I am still mistaken. Just trying to help out.

Have rooted Wifi model updated to 3.2 (rooted stock) - looking to get features of Manta on pure Wifi image.

I maintain Manta on a CWM backup - switching between stock and Manta.

Unfortunately - the Manta hybrid (like the hybrid BRD 3.1) - leaves 3G flotsam (hot spot) - and the Android Market sees the unit as a different device.

The latter confuses the market if you return to the stock 3.2 ("problem completing purchase").
