[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lockdo6307:
i haven't seen anything in here so i was wondering what apps we can remove from it safely. i am only wondering about the music.apk i removed it when i was running mexdroid and it affected my scanner radio pro. just picking brains here what apps can be removed im running the newest 1.29
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mackster248:
Why do you wanna remove apps...? Sense has everything pretty tightly integrated so removing something could mess other things up.

But I think you can remove the Stocks app.

I say just leaving it as is would be the best idea.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Location, Stocks.. But to really remove them you need to remove more than one app - the app, the widget, the service - all might be different APKs.

I believe I've seen some lists of what can be safely removed from Sense, if you do some googling, you'll find it.

This is for developers, rom packers, etc.

When Rodderik was working on his sdboot partitioning script, I was told about a way to get a shell script run from recovery to output to the user using the ui_print command.

Since then, I have been curious if it is possible to report progress to CWM from a script as well.

I finally got around to doing some research and figured out how to get reporting progress working.

I used the sources found here to figure it out.

Then, while asking around where the ui_print stuff came from (so I can give credit) I was pointed to this post by Chainfire:

[TRICK/CWM3/EDIFY] Output to recovery UI from shell script

So it seems it had already been done (figures), but oh well, it's still good stuff!

I'm posting here so more people will see it and I've also attached a sample zip as a working example.

The example has been tested and is working in both Grape-Ape and Bonsai recovery.

Credits:

Chainfire for figuring this out to begin with.

chris41g for sharing it with Rodderik (and indirectly me) and for digging up the link to Chainfire's thread.

Rodderik for sharing it with me and creating a nice little sample for me (which exposed why my initial attempt wasn't working).

Note that, apparently, to get a nice full progress bar, the full value should be about "1.335".

Also my scripts are a little different than Chainfire's, but the basics are the same.

(Check the sources link if you want detailed descriptions of the commands.)

Enjoy.

[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
So much easier to skip the edify scripts and do everything from Sh scripts...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
indeed much more flexibility doing it that way...i've been thinking about doing it this way myself from now on

Hi ive big problem.

[HTC Sensation] vegetaleb:
I always loved N1 and DHD for the Sense UI and overall quality, I didn't buy a Sensation because mainly of root,death grip,speaker ringtones and screen under sunlight...

Ok!

Now that it finally got root (thanks for the devs) I still don't know if the other things can be dealt with:

-Death grip occur in which situations? putting the phone on the table will kill wifi?

-Can you ''really'' boot the volume of ringtones via volume+,Equaliser or DSP? or the results are the same as on N1 and DHD meaning just a high treble sound?

-I have read VERY DIFFERENT reports about the screen lisibility under sunlight, my ex-DHD was pratically not usable between 11am and 3pm outdoor, I know sgs2 can do better than Sensation but is it miles better or slightly better?

Of course people who used both phones (sgs2 and Sensation) can have the best answers
[HTC Sensation] kirdroid:
I have a sgs2 now and will be getting the sensation on wednesday. I will pm you on how both compares, if I post here it will turn into a flame thread in no time :)
[HTC Sensation] redbullcat:
In answer to your deathgrip question, for me at least, putting in the phone on a table does not kill WiFi. Even putting it on something squishy like a cushion or pillow doesn't kill it :) Only covering it with your hand kills it really, and who holds their phone like that? That said, it is a slight problem when you hold it in landscape mode :(
[HTC Sensation] vegetaleb:
Hey redbull good to see you again!

Did you try a speaker hacking tool like DSP manager? The result is the same as on N1 speaker?

And what about the camera compared to N1,DHD or even Arc?

I hate the pink camera spot on my sgs2, it was also there on DHD but when viewing it on PC it went off...but not with the sgs2 photos (its permanent)
[HTC Sensation] redbullcat:
Yeah, good to see you too! :)

The camera is quite good. No pink spot or anything, which is nice. One thing I have noticed, that when you zoom in, the pictures go slightly blurry. Not sure if this happens on other HTC's, but it's definitely apparent on my Sensation, at least. Could be software; I hope so, because then the CyanogenMod camera app will fix it :)

I'll try out a speaker hacking tool and report back :)
[HTC Sensation] redbullcat:
OK, so I've tried Audio Manager and Volume+ FREE and both appear to work fine. I've only used the free version of the apps, so you may want somebody who's bought the apps to try too :) Especially Volume+, with the EQ Settings in the paid version.

EDIT: Just tried Equalizer and that works too :)
[HTC Sensation] vegetaleb:
Oh another thing that's annoying on sgs2: there is a lag between when you press the wake button and the screen going on.

Some dudes said it's normal since it's a dual cpu phone, is it the case with Sensation?
[HTC Sensation] redbullcat:
Not that I know off. Right now I have CRT-Screen Animation On, because I'm waiting for mike1986 to make one with just the off animation. But as far as I know, there's no lag between pressing wake and it actually waking it up :)
[HTC Sensation] vegetaleb:
I wonder how many people sawped their SGS2 to Sensation without any regrets...
[HTC Sensation] Lanbase:
just post results here, I for one got me a new sgs2, and have ti decide wether keeping it or not aswell.

grtz
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
For everyday usability i would go for the sensation

i am not bothered if the sgs 2 can load an application a split second faster

Sensation: beutifully designed, aluminium, Sense 3D, Higher resolution

SGS2: UGLY! PLASTIC, Touchwiz (****wiz more like), lower resolution
[HTC Sensation] monkeytown:
yea aluminium is good but promotes death grip and what about the volume button falling off? :D
[HTC Sensation] idavid_:
Posts like that can start a flame war, be careful

Swyped from my HTC Sensation
[HTC Sensation] arzbhatia:
I've always been a Sensation lover but I'll tell you what I feel honestly after using both the phones.

The Sensation is GREAT! It's my baby! The build quality is just perfect! Although the Gorilla glass isn't that powerful as compared to say Galaxy S's or Galaxy S2's I'm pretty sure about that. Other than that, the physical appearance and build quality is the best I guess! HTC excels in physical looks.

The Galaxy S2 is well, quite nicely designed but the quality .. Meh! Plastic? Seriously? Not good. What if it drops from the stairs or something, it'll break.

So we know that Sensation wins in the physical category.

Performance : You may be knowing that the Galaxy S2 is the fastest phone in the world. Well yes, I agree. But the prebuilt UI, touchwiz, is PATHETIC. It's probably the worst company rebuilt UI ever. Even LG's UI sucks. Sensation has sense 3.0 and it's AMAZING :o BUT if you will be flashing custom ROMS, I'd recommend the Galaxy S2. Galaxy S2 has a much better Dev support according to me as MANY devs have got it for free and many bought it as it's the fastest phone. Although I think Sensation can still beat it in many aspects.

So I'd go for the S2 in this category.

Hardware :

It is been told that the Sensation's hardware is much better as it is 2011's latest technology whereas the Galaxy S2 uses a 2009 or 08, I don't know chip. Although we can clearly see Galaxy S2 beats the Sensation in benchmarks results about which I really don't care. The Galaxy S2 has an nvidia Tegra 2 processor so that means you can get nvidia tegra games from the nvidia tegra marketplace or whatever it's called and SERRRRRRIOUSLY those games are AMAZING.

Other than that : Samsung vs. HTC? .. Umm, HTC DUH'UH.

About service center help and support : I'll go with Samsung (India)

About software update support : HTC, anyday. (So what if the bootloader is unlocked, they are working on it).

Both the phones are great.
[HTC Sensation] kirdroid:
SGS2 doesn't have tegra 2 chip, it comes with samsung's own exynos chip.
[HTC Sensation] AllWin:
I just switched from SGS2 to Sensation and so far more then happy. No more games crashing, no more color banding, no more pink spots on photos, no more stupid home button/wake lag, no more phone overheating, no more plastic feel, no more crappy music quality, no more Samsung in my life. Ever.
[HTC Sensation] arzbhatia:
Aaaaaaaaah okay my bad! how come it runs tegra games?
[HTC Sensation] arzbhatia:
haha happy to know! Enjoy the sensation! Just wait for cm7!
[HTC Sensation] kirdroid:
Not a game player, but I guess with the help of open gl driver? Look for chainfire 3d App in market.
[HTC Sensation] BarryH_GEG:
6MM people would disagree with you.
[HTC Sensation] hondasr:
I have both. I prefer the sensation.
[HTC Sensation] EleCtrOx666:
Of course most of the people here are going to say Sensation, in SGS2 forum most of the people would say SGS2.

I can't judge because I only have the SGS2 but I would like to add some clarifications though.

Plastic: The plastic is HIGH quality plastic, you can really bend it, it won't break at all. There's a video of it on YouTube.

Lower resolution: Yeah but SLCD < S-Amoled +. Resolution is not the only thing you should judge about a screen.

I already dropped it some times and not a single scratch, as I said, the plastic is high quality plastic that won't break easily.

I hope you're joking. TW4 is way better than Sense IMHO(Or at least the sense that was in the Desire, 2.0 I guess, let's say 3.0 is 100x times better, now they are equal). TouchWiz IS simply amazing as a interface, and the browser is the best thing of it(hardware accelerated). The complete interface is simply VERY fast, good, with neat functions. I can't judge TW3.0 because I never had it, but saying TW4.0 is pathetic is way too inflated. IMHO I prefer stock over CM7, as TouchWizz really IS amazing. Many people agree with me.

Let's see the Desire, 16 February 2010 and already no updates anymore. Didn't Google agreed with the manufacturers to update 18 months? No comment.

SGS2 gets updates every week nearly, and it's bootloader is unlocked by default. :)

I don't even know why you gave that round to HTC.

Hardware : the Exynos chip IS the best SoC you can find on phones currently, it's simply a fact.
[HTC Sensation] BarryH_GEG:
TW and Sense aren't comparable - they're two different approaches to a UI. Some people like HTC's integrated approach and their proprietary apps that replace functions in Android. If they do, than TW is going to be a let down because it's nothing more than a launcher. People that like vanilla Android similarly would hate Sense because it's so invasive and pretty much an all-or-nothing proposition.

For the people that hate TW, what specifically about it do you hate? I always used to use ADW and the only thing I don't like about TW compared to is I can't add rows/columns to get more on the screen and I can't change icon pics or names. Other than that, there's pretty much no difference. Things like horizontal vs vertical app scrolling really aren't significant enough to use the word "hate."
[HTC Sensation] AllWin:
Will that happen ever? Sensation has different from Nexus S screen resolution and i believe this can be big problem for developers. I really hope that i'm wrong though :)
[HTC Sensation] Vandam500:
No idea how you guys are managing to "kill" the Wi-Fi signal or whatever signal by holding the Sensation. I've never seen the signal drop unless obviously I step out of range or turn of my router...you guys need to seriously check your device and probably get a exchange. I've had so many good phones in the past and this has the best signal (Cell Tower and Wi-Fi) out of all of them.
[HTC Sensation] BarryH_GEG:
You mean this well documented problem that's due to the design?

http://www.nordichardware.se/testla...are-med-hoeg-upploesning.html?start=8#content
[HTC Sensation] HarmonyK:
This well-documented problem never happened on my phone, yet. Even trying my hardest to emulate it.
[HTC Sensation] Vandam500:
'Nuff Said ;)
[HTC Sensation] AllWin:
And their changelogs looks like that:

Changelog:

- Rename build from **KG3 to **KG4

- That's it.

No, seriously. On samfirmware.com i can see over 30 European firmware versions for SGS2 and by now they couldn't solve a single problem that my phone was suffering from.

I liked SGS2 design, hardware, HW accelerated browser/video playback and light-weight ROM, but Samsungs inability to fix problems is just unacceptable.

I don't wanna start another flame here HTC vs. Samsung, just sharing my own experience after using SGS2 for over a month.
[HTC Sensation] alexkit14:
agreed with u on the camera. then again, i noticed similar output on most digital zooms. so i never bothered with digital zoom.
[HTC Sensation] ciaphuas:
If it wasn't for the SGS 2 having more ram, the sensation would be the only choice
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
I also fail to see any death grip. I hold my phone funny and never see any drop in reception or wifi. My battery, on the other hands, SUCKS!

Matt
[HTC Sensation] BarryH_GEG:
A lot of problems can be traced back to the network/carrier the phone's being used on. Especially in areas with a weak signal. The latter also drains the battery. It's not widespread though. The other connectivity issue is the SGS2 doesn't like D-Link routers and that too drains the battery. I've roamed with mine in Asia, Latin America, and Europe and never had a problem with it.
[HTC Sensation] vegetaleb:
What I don't like in my sgs2?

-Wake lag

-Pink spot camera

-It's not color banding but digital noise for wallpapers

-Over-saturated

-Sometimes un-responsive touch

-Plastic is VERY poor in the lower back part, it got scratches after only 1 week and I am very carefull with it, I had to use a case which I never did before.

-GPS is the slowest ever, even my old C905 was faster to lock

What I like?

-Speedy Gonzales

-CM7 and MIUI are great on this device (though Sense 3.0 is still better)

-LOUD and clear speaker so no missed calls like on DHD

-Brilliant camera as long as you don't shoot something close or white (pink spot)

What I missed from HTC?

-Build quality

-Sense 3.0

-''Mature'' devs, though I like to switch from time to time to ''light'' roms like CM7 or MIUI, I hope Sensation will get them.

My problem actually is that as soon as the Sensation got root, they increased its price about 50$ :eek:

They decreased sgs2 price in another hand, so I can't do a good bargain anymore :(
[HTC Sensation] EleCtrOx666:
No they don't. 2.3.4 is nothing for you? Released officialy today. There are always small changes, but still changes. Most issues are not very bad and people seem to really SEARCH them(really stupid to search for an issue when you bought the phone imho) and to use them to convince themselves to buy another phone.
[HTC Sensation] movetodevnull:
Since sgs2 wasn't available at Bell Canada, when I got my Sensation, I was thinking to try to exchange my Sensation with the sgs2 later.

Now they have sgs2 but I'm not sure I want to do this...

In my opinion the only real advantage of sgs2 is the 1GB of RAM, so can I live with less memory ? :)
[HTC Sensation] dacleric:
If you dont need the extra pixels stay with your SGS2 - even if the WLAN/3G strength is not as good as with the Sensation.

It is still faster and lighter.

I got a sensation my gf got a SGS2 (i bought it for her). Both are nice phones and have their own strength (which i already said)
[HTC Sensation] vegetaleb:
Yep as usual there nothing called ''perfect phone'', sgs2 has its flaws and sensation too.

Pink spot camera,lag wake,noised wallpapers, anti-ergonomic,slow gps VS death grip, not updated camera and speaker,viewing angles,huge custom roms(+330mb)
[HTC Sensation] AllWin:
I don't care if it's 2.3.4 or 15.17.35 as long as same bugs exist.

No, i'm not looking for problems. The main reason why i bought SGS2 was large, amazing screen, to play games on it but some of them just keep crashing/freezing every few minutes. This is well known problem.

Buying a new phone was the last thing i wanted to do. Seriously.

First download the latest Motorola Droid CM7 release, this is not for the Droid X2 but it's the closest thing to it.

http://download.cyanogenmod.com/get/update-cm-7.0.3-Droid-signed.zip

Next extract the files from the zip and locate the ones you want to use.

Make a back-up of the ones you have.

Place the new files in /system/app using whatever method you want.

CHMOD the files you placed as rw-r--r-- (644)

Reboot or SYNC

Im sorry, but I don't know what CHMOD means,do you just mean change the permissions? Because I know how to do that

Yes, that is what CHMOD means.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turbomalum:
So my wifi will see networks, try and connect, then instantly disconnect and repeat. This problem has occurred for the last two roms that I installed. I don't think it is a problem with the rom because one, I havnt read so anywhere, two, i have tried installing and reinstalling and reinstalling again many many times. When I install a new rom, I always factory wipe, cache wipe, and dalvik wipe.

I am currently on Apex latest rom.

Has anyone else had this issue or know how to fix it? It is driving me crazy not having wifi!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turbomalum:
EDIT

so it seems by toggling airplane mode on n off, the problem has been fixed. sorry for making this thread

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RTBee:
Don't know if this will work for you or not. Some have had success...

Go into WiFi settings and 'forget' your network(s), then reset your router/switch and then turn your WiFi back on. Sometimes it will reestablish with the right permissions.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turbomalum:
ya i have tried that too. i don't understand what the problem is. I'm bout to just give up
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RTBee:
My problem is similar, it sees my home network and connects (and stays connected), but when I try to access the internet or markets, it says network error and won't let me connect. When I switch back to 3g and WiFi off, now I can hook up to internet and markets.

I'm checking into my wireless router. It might be the problem, tho my wife's computer is hooked up wirelessly and it seems fine, no problems, so idk.

thanks in advance.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sensboston:
You should be more specific. Where you need identify connection: on the handset or on PC? BTW, C++ isn't supported by WP7 SDK (C# and VB only).

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sensboston:
AFAIK, there is no WP7 API or documentation for this from PC side (but probably you can find something in WinMo 6/6.5 SDK's), however you can monitor and detect Zune run or get background task on WP7 telling you what kind of connection handset is using right now.

P.S. Take a look to the http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb840031.aspx , also check this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1016766

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sensboston:
Also you can use Microsoft.Smartdevice.Connectivity assembly but it's not a best way (no events defined, you should pull device for connection periodically).

using Microsoft.SmartDevice.Connectivity;

static DeviceInfo[] GetDevices()
{
List<DeviceInfo> list = new List<DeviceInfo>();
try
{
DatastoreManager manager = new DatastoreManager(0x409);
foreach (Platform platform in manager.GetPlatforms())
foreach (Device device in platform.GetDevices())
list.Add(new DeviceInfo(platform.Id.ToString(), device.Id.ToString(), device.Name));
}
catch {}
return list.ToArray();
}

static bool IsDeviceConnected (DeviceInfo deviceInfo)
{
bool bResult = false;
try
{
DatastoreManager manager = new DatastoreManager(0x409);
Device device = manager.GetPlatform(new ObjectId(deviceInfo.PlatformId)).GetDevice(new ObjectId(deviceInfo.DeviceId));
bResult = device.IsConnected();
}
catch {}
return bResult;
}

Of course it's just a prototypes. Actually you need to get device once and periodically pull .IsConnected().
