[HTC Inspire 4G] cordell507:
for one you can OC the inspire to 1.99 Ghz and with the iPhone 4 the processor is always at 800 Mhz, it's 1 Ghz underclocked to 800Mhz just like all other ios processors
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
While I don't agree with how this was said (No swearing in the forums please) I agree with the the point r what was said. The only one that will be able to tell you how you will feel about it will be you after you have used it. I have been suprised by phones that I thight were garbage but turned out to be decent. All the info you will need about both your phones is all over the internet. Why make a post in a Development forum that is not even about the device your thinking about getting?

[Motorola Photon 4G] Bandage:
So, decided to try this launcher a few months ago for another device...priced at $14.95 I was skeptical. I downloaded it once more, to my new Photon...effin lovin it!

Love what it adds to my Photon experience. Yes, definitely overpriced...but totally changes your Photon to eye-candy goodness. I found the new Moto Blur to be rather bland IMO.

Loving the Message widget, totally dig the 3D carousel effect. The World Clock widget is fun, and the whole thing gives my Photon a quasi-Sense feel. Some cool looking / working widgets...and it flies on our Photon! Combined with Beautiful Widgets here and there I'm totally satisfied with my screen layout!

It's a bit of a memory hog @ roughly 90mb usage...but I tend to keep things skinny usually anyways, so no ill effects.

EDIT: I can't help but notice how lag-free this launcher is. I truly expected something so flashy to come with bunches of lag...SO not the case. Amazingly smooth. Also they've added rotate option now (I bought it a few months ago for another device so didn't know it had changed so much) for use in landscape!

Oh...here's the Market Link:

SPB Shell 3d
[Motorola Photon 4G] CCallahan:
Have this on my EVO and is very smooth and fast. I like the interface. Used to be a die hard LP+ user and SPB Shell is less laggy when moving between screens. Plus, can put up to 16 screens with this. LP was taking way too much time to be re-written and not enough upgrades for my liking. Seemed to get more jerky after every update.

I'll be rockin this on my Photon this week as well if Blur doesn't do it for me.
[Motorola Photon 4G] hgreen70:
How is this on battery?
[Motorola Photon 4G] mxmarcus:
So far so good

Depending on what you want, you can select preset profile or create your own.

[Motorola Photon 4G] VDub2174:
Been thinking of getting SPB Shell ever since my friend showed it to me on his EVO. I an very tempted to buy this now that I have my Photon but kind of wanted to spend more than 4-5 days with the stock launcher.....lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjjones:
been using it since it came out for android love it also, for me i look at this way, this is the third phone i have used it on, with different versions of android, so far all it has done is improve my experience its paid for itself.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sgtcody:
I bought it and liked the look and feel but on my phone it was crashtastic. Maybe something I am running doesn't agree with it very well. Handcent possibly...
[Motorola Photon 4G] VDub2174:
Just took the plunge and bought it!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] dutchman71:
Let me know how you like it or you can show me one day in the Riverend!
[Motorola Photon 4G] VDub2174:
:eek:

You go to the Union games too?!?!

SPB is really awesome so far and offers a lot of customization.
[Motorola Photon 4G] beartrap:
Anyone tried the kickstand trick (going into widget clock) with SPB? Doesn't work with LP so I suspect it won't work with SPB either.
[Motorola Photon 4G] VDub2174:
Nope, doesn't work. The screen doesn't even go into Landscape mode which doesn't bother me at all since I never use landscape mode.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ThriveSeeker:
Thanks for the idea. I am using go launcher but I am to try that 1

Hookmeup From The Thrive
[Motorola Photon 4G] b1indsided:
It does work you just have to adjust the spb home settings
[Motorola Photon 4G] VDub2174:
:o

Just saw that actually, my bad.
[Motorola Photon 4G] beartrap:
Do you mean landscape works or the widget clock works with SPB?
[Motorola Photon 4G] VDub2174:
Landscape works, but the Clock Widget doesn't show, I just saw my regular home screen.
[Motorola Photon 4G] zenmasta:
This thread is worthless without pics!!!!!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] diomark:
I was liking this shell OK until I tried the HD dock I the necessary notification to get webtop to work fails to come up for me with this shell loaded :(
[Motorola Photon 4G] CCallahan:
I don't have the dock so can't test this....but I bet someone with a rooted phone, the dock, and Tasker could try and make a script to run the clock when docked and maybe pop up an option for webtop? Just a thought. Then any launcher could have the same functionality.

Still like SPB over stock launcher even with those drawbacks.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
WP7 has been out for about 10 months now. When I browse the UK marketplace I can't believe we barely have UK specific apps. I met a French friend the other day and his Optimus 7 had plenty of French apps to work with but here in the UK we have to rely on 3rd party developers. That's very odd, I wonder what's happening between Microsoft and the UK. We have what, Tesco, Yell, a few radio apps and that's about it.

Big absentees I can think of:

Amazon

Lovefilm

Argos

Metro

Sky

BBC

TVGuide

AA

Post Office

Sainsburys (coming I believe)

BT Phonebook

Jobcentre

Any banking app

Plus probably many more you can name. You can't tell me it's because of APIs either, most if not all of the apps above would be possible with WP7 v1.0
[Windows Phone 7 General] Casey_boy:
Amazon Kindle is available in the UK - but I agree the Amazon shopper app would be cool. I'd love to see an iPlayer app from the BBC but there's been no word of that and I too feel as though I'm missing out from a banking app.

To be honest, though, I think it's because most of these companies don't actually develop their mobile apps, they outsource to 3rd party companies who build the cross-platform apps for them. If those 3rd party companies don't build Windows Phone apps then there won't be a Windows Phone app for the main company.

It's something Microsoft could try and push (and who knows, they might be) but it might not be high on the priority list.

We do have British Airways though.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
Yeah anyone can fly on British Airways so I'm not really counting this one. It's odd that the French have all sorts of French apps though, they probably use 3rd party developers too afterall.

I wonder how it is in other European countries where the marketplace is open.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
Hasn't Microsoft recently released a UK only Bing app? I think in Germany there isn't any specific dedicated app at all. But to be honest here, I'm quite satisfied with the generic apps out there. ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] brummiesteven:
I came from Android and didn't really have these apps on there so I don't really feel like I'm missing something, but you do have a point.

Tesco Groceries and Tesco Good Food were available on launch but not much after that. I can see Sky coming soon.. The BBC apps are fairly new aren't they?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
The BBC apps aren't official, the main one has been there since launch I believe. Most if not all of these apps are available on iOS and Android. Many are also on BlackBerry and the Ovi store.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
Maybe I get you wrong, but honestly.. First lots of people were complaining about all those apps that were missing in WP7 but available for other mobile OSes, now you complain about a lack of WP7 exclusive apps? To be a little more precise WP7 exclusive apps that are limited to the UK? Hmm.. From a business point of view that doesn't make sense. Why should developers limit their apps - which generate income - to one single OS and on top of that to one single region?
[Windows Phone 7 General] brummiesteven:
He's not talking about WP7 Exclusives, he's talking about apps from UK Based companies like BBC, BSkyB or Barclays which are available for other devices but not WP7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
Ah, k then. I already guessed I got him wrong. ^^ I didn't say anything. ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
No worries ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] sutt359:
I know for a good fact that banking apps are coming, the inlaw works in banking security and they are in the process of developing the apps for the UK.

Windows Phone sadly is taking up the rear, ive seen what they are working on with the iphone and android.
[Windows Phone 7 General] brummiesteven:
In all fairness it's because it's a new platform.

Hate to compare to android all the time, but I had a G1 and then a HTC Desire. Big apps, ports of big iPhone apps didn't even start surfacing until the Nexus One was launched which was about 1 year, 3 months after the G1. As I was leaving Android, Big UK Apps started to surface like Sky News etc. This was on WP's launch, around November 2010.

If we assume the timescales will be the same, IMO the Nokia Sea Ray (or whatever Nokia's Flagship WP device turns out to be) is Windows Phone's equivalent to the Nexus One.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sychosis:
Sorry to bring up an old thread.

I've noticed that theres alot of things I would like to add to my phone but can't as noone seems to be creating these apps for WP7

I used to use MoBank, as I bank with natwest. I've been asking them about an app for wp7 since december, they keep replying they're working on it, I've just found out that not only have they "updated" their iphone app, but have released a BB one as well :confused:. Also Mobank seems to have disappeared from the marketplace.

Anyone know of any good banking apps?

Creating Language Pack Guide​

First you need either a miui language pack zip file or a miui stock rom zip file in your language (the first is to be prefered).

[1] if you use a stock rom zip instead of a language pack then you need to replace the "updater-script" file with this one. It is found iin META-INF/com/google/android/ within the zip. Best first remove the file and then add the one from the link.

If you have a language pack then simply skip this step!

[2] Within the zip's root directory remove everything but the directory META-INF and system.

[3] Within the system directory remove everything but the directories app and framework

[4] Within the system/framework directory remove everything but the file framework-res.apk

[5] Within system/app remove everything that you do not find in my roms zip in system/app

If you want to use my SCI MIUI without the Toggle2G then you are basically done. Proceed to step 9

[6] Get this Toggle2G resign tool from here and extract it somewhere on your disk.

[7] Go to the directory you have extracted the resign tools. If you are on a linux machine you need to make the script ResignUpdate.sh executable with this command "chmod a+x ResignUpdate.sh". On windows you don't need that step.

[8] Now call ResignUpdate.sh (for linux users) or ResignUpdate.bat for windows users giving it as paramter the full path to your language pack zip you made in steps 1-5. Like this:

ResignUpdate.sh blabla/mylangpack.zip

this will generate a new zip file in the same directory where "mylangpack.zip" is.

[9] Flash my Rom (if you didn't already have done this) and boot it. Enter pin etc. and let the rom settle down. Then reboot to recovery again and flash your newly generated language pack zip and boot again.

You may skip the boot in between but in case you have issues you should do the mentioned boot between flashing the two zips.

Issues and Solutions​

In general a full wipe (maybe also wiping sd card) is recomended and no restoring of any system app/data. Before resotring any of the user apps try to verify if the issue is solved. Sometimes one of the restored user apps/data is responsible for the trouble.

In case of force closing market the following methods could fix it:

Change language settings to English (US). US is important. Start Market. Close it. And then set back to your desired language.

for thus who want louder in-call volume. try adding this line to your build.prop (remember to mount system as r/w before editing the file) and then reboot.

ro.config.vc_call_vol_steps=6

TIPS and TRICKS

(user contribution wished!)​

Everybody that has found a usefull tip or trick may post it or pm me. If it looks like a worthy contribution for this list i'll add it with credits. If i forget the credit just pm me :P

MIUI Tips

Quick Flashlight Pressing and holding home button during lock screen enables flash light.

There are three different battery styles in miui available. Look at Settings -> System -> Battery

Screen Shot Pressing MENU + VOL DOWN takes a snap shot.

Display Brightness tuning on Miui

Miui (and CM7) allows tweaking the autobrightness levels and mode. Here a brief guide and my current settings (may change over time).

Go to Display Brighness Settings

Activate Automatic Brightness if not yet activated

Go to enhanced mode

One can use the Lightsensor Filter to avoid flickering due to immediate brightness changes when the surrounding light changes. My settings here are:

Time Interval 10s

Threshold off

Intervall 2s (select 1s to react faster if you want)

Set custom filter levels on and then go to customize levels. I am using a modifed version of the default settings. Thus i have the same number of levels. I think one could reduce the number but i was too lazy :P Here my settings:

0-159 : 38 | 255

160-224 : 48 | 255

225-319 : 60 | 0

320-639 : 82 | 0

640-1279 : 100 | 0

1280-2599 : 135 | 0

2600-5799 : 186 | 0

5800-7999 : 208 | 0

8000-10239 : 231 | 0

10240 : 255 | 0

Actually i only modified the first half as i didn't had the light circumstances to optimize also the rest. But i think you got how to do this. Finally press the "Save" button to apply the values so you can see if it suits you. At the top of the screen you see current measured sensor values (unfiltered and filtered) and the current set brightness values.

Finnaly go one step back and activate "reduction of brightness allowed" (it's the second last setting).

I have set Hysteresis to 30%.

SysTune saved settings

NOTE: directory of saved settings changed!

Copy it to sdcard/systune/

Note: advanced governor settings start with "gov_GOVERNOR_" where GOVERNOR is the governor they are for. so don't change this if you want to rename them.

Download links for my settings moved to:

SysTune discussion thread. If you want to discuss your experience with various settings or see what others use then i hope you help filling up this thread ;)

Check out the second post for settings to download and infos on how to contribute.

General Tips

If you resolved your battery issues using current messure tools etc. then turn them off and also turn off

battery monitoring in Miui Settings. This allows your device to go longer into sleep.
[Desire HD Android Development] samuel2706:
Good to see more miui roms :)
[Desire HD Android Development] CuBz90:
Ye me too.

I love MIUI because it's unique, most DHD Sense ROMs are very similar, but MIUI stands out from all the rest. I love ROMs that are unique, that have a very different look, etc :)
[Desire HD Android Development] ToLive2010:
Will try it, thanks!
[Desire HD Android Development] ToLive2010:
For the first look everything is good. Do you have FC on online themes in theme manager?

And maybe you need a multiupload link for your rom http://www.multiupload.com/85HLK6VPVR
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
no fc so far. my rom is on megaupload already.

@all: forgot to add some thanks to first post. will do later.

also will add md5 sum of rom.

sorry for that.
[Desire HD Android Development] ToLive2010:
Multiupload and megaupload are not the same, multiupload offer a different ways to download the file.
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
oh, my bad. i misread that. they sound so similar :D

I am currently on the way. Will add that later.
[Desire HD Android Development] djcsurf:

[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
Sorry, but i have to stop the rom for now. I have overseen something to check regarding copyright. Until i got this clarified rom is no further available to publicity.
[Desire HD Android Development] DP4:
The theme force close is a problem with miui 1.7.29 in general not just this particular rom
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
All right guys. All cleared up. Rom will be up in the next minutes ;)

Sorry for the trouble!
[Desire HD Android Development] djcsurf:
Have downloaded, will install it tomorrow.

How is the autobrightness, did you incorporate spyr0s values?

Do you have recommended settings for SetCPU similar to what you used with LeeDrOiD rom?
[Desire HD Android Development] Ce:
Read on Miui Android that pushing the thememanager.apk of the .22 Rom to system\app solves the problem. In my case it did indeed.
[Desire HD Android Development] EmptyArea:
there is a console for designing your own setting included, it's the same as the one found in CM7
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
guys, me stupid. currently it installs formating system and cache to ext3. i fixed it and will uploading it in the next hour.

just flash over current one.

@autobrightness: miui allows setting your owns like cm7

@governor settings: currently no further tuning needed. but on that matter i post later some news.
[Desire HD Android Development] EmptyArea:
Full wipe, formatted sd to 100% fat32, installed rom, and boom it's like silk.

Of cause it should be in it's green state. no fcs, nothing bad to say at all

a user I'll give a more in depth feedback as time passes, also +1 on knowing your gov settings please?

Edit: FYI been running since yesterday :)

(theme manager - online does fc)
[Desire HD Android Development] EmptyArea:
anyway to edit apps on the bottom bar?
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
you can switch in the rom to english (i will make that default next release - forgot about that). so the issue was with lordmod kernel? which one? from where did you got it, from my first post links?

this could be but nothing i can fix as it has nothing todo with my work on the rom.

i don't understand what you mean.

but i already am looking into issues with the dialer keypad and other languages

this is somthing i could fix with your help. you know how to edit build.prop file? do you have root explorer or a similar file explorer with root access?

edit: what speeds do you have and what speeds do you have with the said sense roms (and tell me which are them so i can look into their settings).
[Desire HD Android Development] getaceres:
No, the issue was installing the language pack without rebooting first (I think, I'm not sure). When it worked, I installed the ROM, rebooted (was in german), installed the language pack, rebooted (mostly in spanish). After a third reboot, everything was in spanish. I didn't try lordmod kernel this time.

In the qwerty keyboard, above the first line of keys, there are small numbers from 1 to 0. Pressing the key brings a little popup in whick you can select some variations of the letter (like tildes) and select the number. In your rom, in spanish, only some numbers appear over that first row of keys. Some keys that have to have a number above appear without them and long pressing them brings a popup with the variations for the letter, but not the number.

Yes, I have root explorer. Right now I'm on Android Revolution HD 5.2.3. In ARHD I get about 3MB download speed and 2.5 MB upload speed. In MIUI I get about 100kb download. I didn't bother to take the upload speed test.
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
ok, i think i understand you know. i'll look into this.

fine, i will check that out and post you some settings for you to try out. if that works for you i will open a new section with countrx/provider specific settings.

sadly there is no other way for this. i have the same problem like you depending on the settings the respective rom has. obviously my rom has settings that work for me ;) but i support others through addons.

be patient ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] getaceres:
Ok. Thank you.
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
edit: wait. i uploaded the wrong file. give me 5 min :D
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
ok, all fixed now!

1. edit build.prop file: use root explorer and go to /system. mount it as r/w and edit build.prop

1.a look for ro.ril.hsxpa and change its value to 3 (should be 2 in my rom).

NOTE: this change needs two reboots to have effect. thus we also fix your keyboard issue in the meantime ;)

2. download this on your sdcard:

http://www.wuala.com/stefan3141/SCI MIUI/public/addons/latinime-1.8.5.zip/

reboot to recovery and flash the downloaded file "latinime-1.8.5.zip"

2.a reboot

and now the second reboot: when you are booted fully into the rom and unlocked your sim card wait a few minutes and reboot again (this is the second time).

now the keyboard should also have spanish dictionary and it should work without issues.

report back about your speeds and keyboard issue.
[Desire HD Android Development] Stitch15:
Couldn't get WiFi to work. Even after a few reboots. Now i am back to a sense ROM :-(

Anyone who has this problem?
[Desire HD Android Development] djcsurf:
@ Stitch15

No wi-fi problems for me, all working fine.

@ a user

Just a thought but could I copy GPS settings from LeeDrOiD rom into this one.

I've not had the GPS loss when using LeeDrOiD.

Not too sure what settings Id need to check.
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
you can either copy the gps.conf file from lees rom (found in /system/etc ) or edit it the relevant setting within miui settings:

settings -> my location -> Gps Settings

look for usefull values in leedroids gps.conf.

maybe i will check that out for a next release. i already have a cuople of changes for upcoming release including improved gpu performance ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] djcsurf:
Cool, roll on friday.
[Desire HD Android Development] getaceres:
Keyboard issue is fixed, thanks.

3G speed is not. I've changed the ro.ril.hsxpa setting in build.prop file and rebooted more than three times and I still get 120kbps of download speed.
