Weird, I have it on CM7 (HyperDroid NAND) . Your best bet is to try Led Me know.

P.S : (it possibly could be due to the light libraries, maybe AmericAndroid is using the new ones? ) idk :))

LED me know works great.

ive done a fair amount of reading and searching and i just want to get some straight answers with these questions as sometimes, opinion with these seem to vary.

1. i use bloat freezer. are there major differences between it and titanium backup?

2. is it necessary to unfreeze apps before a fw/kernel update?

3. is it necessary to unfreeze apps before backing up?

4. is a restored backup with titanium backup as good as a clean wipe and full reinstall of the apps?

hope someone helps me clear it up once and for all and TIA
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZagatoDB7:
1. From the point of view of freezing/unfreezing the apps, only real difference is the price

2. No, but if you change your firmware you will need to refreeze the apps you want to freeze.

3. Don't really know, but I would think no

4. Titanium backup, backs up more than just your apps, including system apps, data and setttings - so they are different
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hyperbolic:
I have a question my self,

If you freeze apps using Titanium backup, is that mean that now Titanium back would run at the background and prevent those apps to start ?

If so, I better remove them right ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rab1412000:
as for no. 4

follow this thread, there is a mini discussion on titanium backup:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1198334&page=90

pulser_g2, my fav developer, clearly states:

"You should only titanium restore USER apps and data, not preinstalled ones."
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rab1412000:
im not sure about titanium backup, but for bloat freezer it isnt a running background service. but they should be working the same way.

personally, i choose freezing becasue, there is no perceptible performance hit between freezing and uninsall; and i can always infreeze if i need to use the program again
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hyperbolic:
It seems that no one really knows the answer to this question, but thanks for letting me know about bloat freezer.

Hi All

I just have got a sensation. I cannot connect to my laptop anymore, it worked fine for a few days, but every time I connect it to my laptop, a message pops up saying that USB is not recognized, I have tried on three computers (XP + Win 7) have installed/uninstalled HTC sync with the drivers.

On the phone itself, I don't get a notification showing the options for USB connection (Charge, HTC sync etc), however it charges fine using the USB cable while connected to the PC.

I have reset my phone to factory default, formatted SD card, have tried another USB cable but no luck.

I just do not understand what can be wrong all of a sudden, once it was working fine last night but not today

Can someone please help? I have sent an email to HTC support already with this information. I'll see what they got to say about this.

I had that same problem once on my Desire HD, I removed the sd card, re-inserted it and started the phone, was all good from that point on.

It might work for you too.

Turnning on USB Debugging

Guys I really hope my question is related to this ..

I just can't seem to find out how to turn on USB debugging!!! I need that in order to install my 1st ROM + Writing Super CID, posts keep saying it can be turned on from settings .. where is that???

appreciate the guidance ..

i have this very same problem.

tried 4 different computers, windows xp, windows 7 x486, windows 7 x64...

tried different cables... different roms... different kernels... dettached sd card... umounted sd... mounted sd... debug mode... default modes upon connection... the problem is definitely in the phone itself...

the computer simply ignores the connection, no sign of it. the phone behaves like it is connected to a charger, not to usb.

can anybody help us?
[HTC Sensation] pushpann:
I am also getting the same problem now!! I was downgrading to GB, then again i went to JB miui. Then i wanted to format my sdcard, formatted it through PC, and i installed new CM9 rom on it. Now, after the CM9 rom is booting, the device is not recognized by windows!!!

EDIT : Removed SDCARD, then powered off, then reinserted SD, and rebooted into recovery. It got mounted from recovery, and installed a new ROM. Now it works flawlessly!!!
[HTC Sensation] makhay:
what rom did you install ?

Changing your cable may fix this problem.

Buy a new one.

Because I got themed apks in the install
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Swiftks:
Which apk did you edit to change the settings background to black? SystemUI or Framework-res? Also, was it a value change or a png/9.png? Now that I'm looking at the .zip, looks like it was most likely setting.apk???

**Edit**

Well, I don't see anything in the setting.apk that would have changed the background to black.... Tell me, I must know!!!! :p
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] D$G:
I believe its in the styles.xml ill have a look when I get home
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] franciscojavierleon:
sadly this isn't purple! this is magenta, almost bordering pink. Can you try a real purple version?

Something like #6300a2 would be nice
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] D$G:
I have tried something similar if not the same as #6300a2 before and it came out pink so I had to go with a dark ass purple #2A1243 which is pretty close to black and it still came out that light purple you see. Ive notice its really only in the status bar and other small things but you do see some real purple through out the theme.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] OptiiKaL:
Oh pretty cool

Is it really worth getting s-off and root on my Sensation?

What are the main advantages/disadvantages? & is there a simple way to go back to stock if my phone breaks and i need to send it to get fixed.

Also can someone link me to a noob proof guide to S-OFF and Root?

I've been looking through the development section, and there are to many guides to choose from.
[HTC Sensation] DiZzle.:
Alpharev is working on a noob proof way to s-off the sensation. There is no eta for now. Should be released in a couple of weeks. You could wait for that.
[HTC Sensation] sromer:
By "noob proof" i mean the easiest way to do it all.

I've done things with like flashing software on psps,ipods, etc before.
[HTC Sensation] k0nfucius:
HTC's official unlock process should be as easy as it gets, and due sometime this month unless it's slipped back.

The stock Sensation is a pretty solid phone though. So whether it's worth unlocking depends in part on whether you're happy with your experience using it, or are tempted by features offered by custom ROMs.

I unlocked mine as soon as I could. But then for me being able to tinker around with custom ROMs is part of the appeal of Android.
[HTC Sensation] bonesy:
www.Revoluitionary.io

Follow the the instructions,its as easy as pie.Easier than CFW and Pandora battery on psp so you should be fine, Revolutionary is well easy just download for your OS fill in the boxes then run the .bat script and enter your beta key.Also choose the option to install recovery....Download the rom you want to try, flash through recovery and let it boot :-)
[HTC Sensation] sromer:
Thanks for the link :D

Tonight i'll have a look at some different roms, and tomorrow when i have the time i'll give it all a try.

Does it make any difference if i have a Sensation Z710a ?
[HTC Sensation] bonesy:
As far as i know the given link will do both the Z710a and Z710e so all should be good, Are you a TMOUS User?

[Nook Color General] DiDGR8:
My first reaction to your post was confusion. You really buried the lead there :)

*IF* I read you correctly (and the article), you are asking why Amazon would want to make it impossible (or at least very difficult) for developers and enthusiasts to extend the capabilities of the mythical Amazon Tablet.

The article refers to lessons learned from the Nook Color, but I'm not sure Amazon has learned the same thing from the NC that modding enthusiasts have. We appreciate how fundamentally powerful and inexpensive the NC is. Amazon (as well as Barnes & Noble) see a high end ereader as expanding the reach of their core business... selling books.

I think the fallacy of the article cited is that they think Amazon is trying to emulate Apple. I don't think they are. They are trying to emulate Gillette and Schick. Sell the razor cheap and then make your money on the blades. Or the updated model of printers and ink. Same thing.

It is in Amazon's best interest to limit the scope of activities and applications on their tablet for a couple of reasons. They don't want the Nook app running on their tablet and they don't want to have to support a whole gamut of problems that will come with pushing the hardware to its limit.

They do on the other hand want to give the majority of their customers what they want. The Ipad and the Honeycomb tablets hitting the market are setting the bar higher and higher, so they have to respond with enough features to stay competitive.

For a mass marketer (like Apple, B&N, and Amazon) that means being selective and slow. Being an early adopter can be painful.. both for users and vendors. They are just trying to maximize their profits and this is the best strategy for that.
[Nook Color General] cincibluer6:
Honestly, I don't see Amazon really locking it down that much unless they want to cover their rear end on trying to make it hard as can be getting their DRMed ebooks off the device.

BN makes money on each NC sold (AFAIK) so even if somebody (like me) buys one just to have a tablet, they still make money off of it. Whether somebody uses it as is or converts it to a CM7 tablet is really of no consequence to them. If anything, they are more than likely to buy into the BN ecosystem I think. You've already bought a tablet so why not buy their dedicated ereader if you find that reading on the NC is a little worse than you imagined.

I mean, I own both a Nook (1st ed.) and a NC. I appreciate their openness in regards to their products (not only being able to load CM7 but also their openness in respects to formats and everything else with their eink readers) and will continue to support them over Amazon or the like, even though I really like Amazon.
[Nook Color General] patruns:
I think Amazon is trying to take a little from both Apple and B&N. B&N has looked the other way while the development community opened up and enhanced the Nook Color because I think they were simply interested getting something out there that would set them apart from the Kindle and sell books. Yes, they have an app store but I do not think that was a priority other than to say they have one. Amazon sells far more than books so they want to make money in the app store as well. On top of that, Apple pretty much kicked them out of the app store unless they paid the toll. Not having a tablet to make up for that sent them rushing to copy B&N. B&N got it right the first time and I don't think they are worried that people are going to root the device and start using the Kindle app. I have both but I have yet to buy a single Kindle book. Since they are both priced about the same, why would I need to? I just bought my wife a NC so now we will share books. And, she may be perfectly happy if I leave it stock.

One final comment: I have not now nor will I ever buy an Apple product primarily because I do not like being controlled and locked out of my own device.
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
You're ranting about Amazon this, Amazon that, but you're referring to an article which is about Amazon. It's not from Amazon.

So will Amazon try to limit the openness of its tablet? Maybe. Has Amazon said anything to this nature? Dunno, but it's not in this article. This is all third party speculation.
[Nook Color General] patruns:
Actually, I was ranting about Apple. :rolleyes:
[Nook Color General] DiDGR8:
Well, the article is about the Amazon appstore problems and only incidentally about the tablet. Any discussion of the tablet has to be speculation until the product actually is released.

The appstore seems to be actively hostile to developers and just there to get people onto the other Amazon pages.

There is speculation that it's there to support the tablet in a closed ecosystem, but I think it's just a side benefit (to Amazon).
[Nook Color General] KnowledgeBroker:
I guess the real question isn't is this sensible business practice so much as would you support companies that literally go out of their way to make the things that we do like we have with our nook colors.. Some of that article isn't speculation, they have refused googles market application, and there are plenty of things that can be surmised from that that isn't speculation.

Companies used to be happy selling widgets, but now it has become popular for companies to sell widgets that COULD do more, but they limit what it can do so they can sell more widgets. It hurts progress of all kinds because it is the intentional slowing down of progress, just to profit more. If they want to sell you a new product, they should make a product that is ACTUALLY better than the previous ones.
[Nook Color General] joenathane:
The product Amazon would be selling with the tablet wouldn't be the tablet itself.

Why would Amazon want to make a generic do all tablet? How does that fit into their business model? How would they compete with the well established "generic" tablet makers?

Amazon is a web store, they want to get people into their store. Otherwise, Amazon would have no reason or no business making a tablet in the first place.

Barns and Noble didn't make the Nook because they wanted to make an Android tablet or because they wanted to make an e-reader, they made the Nook so people would buy books from them.
[Nook Color General] KnowledgeBroker:
Yea well, then they shouldn't have their webstore on those generic tablets, because why would someone buy their less-than-tablet if other tablets that probably don't cost much more can do it just as well, or better because there are so many apps those OTHER tablets can do.

I guess the way you put it, they should get out of the electronics business all together if they can't compete with what other devices do. Their best bet would be to put out a device that people want because it is BETTER than other devices, but make sure their software is on every device.. I mean I doubt it will come out at a semi-affordable price like the nook.

Any way I look at it, and everything I heard, I still think it is bad and sad ways of trying to make money.. because they are doing the minimum they can in every scenario to deserve money.
[Nook Color General] joenathane:
What companies like B&N and Amazon are trying to do is completely different than what companies like Motorola and Samsung are trying to do. They have completely different aims in their product goals. One side is trying to lock you in to their market and the other is trying to make a general purpose functional device.

Although I do have a feeling that I am wasting my time here...:(
[Nook Color General] KnowledgeBroker:
Unless you can explain what makes them think they can market devices like that AND be able to compete against devices that can do all of that and more.. that device would have to be incredibly cheap for someone to buy it, plain and simple. I will say, if the nook color could only read books, I would have regretted buying it, because for a little more I could have gotten a device that can do the same things and much more.

I don't see how they could compete against the competitors if they go about it that way, I don't think it is possible. "Their" market would have to have far far more to offer than all of the things already out. Our society is all about putting more functionality into one device, creating universal devices, not specialized ones.
[Nook Color General] patruns:
I think you are missing Joe's point. B&N already had a Nook reader, but it was barely holding it's own against the Kindle reader. B&N then decided to come out with a better, color reader that could handle magazines and other color periodicals, something that the Kindle cannot do. On top of that they added basic tablet features such as email and web browsing as well as an app market to further distinguish it from the Kindle. It was not intended to be an iPad killer. However, through the hard work of the development community it has morphed into just about a full blown tablet, minus the mic and camera. At the time a new Nook Color was $250 while an iPad was twice as much as were most other tablets. The Nook Color was created to sell more books, magazines, newspaper subscriptions and some apps directly from B&N. Thankfully, B&N looked the other way when people started to root them. I guess they realized that once they got the NC into our hands, we would still probably use the Android Nook app and continue to buy books from them anyway. Since books are generally the same price as as Kindle books, I have and will continue to buy mine from B&N. I even got my wife one in a one day sale last week for $180 so we can share the books. She may decide to leave it stock since ti meets her needs already.
[Nook Color General] Arbelzapf:
Can you back that up with a source? I've been wondering about this for a long time, since I bought my NC only to use it as a tablet. Living in Germany, I couldn't buy B&N books even if I wanted to and that fact always bugged me a bit, since the NC obviously is so cheap because they want you to buy books.

I don't want to be ripping off a company that makes such awesome devices
[Nook Color General] Divine_Madcat:
Actually, there has been much debate over B&n making any real profit on the device.

Looking the main components:

1024x600 7" IPS Panel (not cheap)

TI Omap 3621 (eBook version of the 3630, featured in the Droid X)

512MB ram

8GB memory

4400mAh battery

As it is, the "cheap" tablets that are close in price, are not close in specs. Devices that ARE close in specs, are commonly more expensive.

At this point, i suspect they may be making a bit of money, but not much; and several months ago, i have no doubt that the nook was costing them, and that they really did rely on book sales (basically free money) to offset the losses.
[Nook Color General] joenathane:
I agree, it's most commonly estimated that the Bill of Materials for the Nook is around $200. Add in all the other overhead involved in marketing, supporting and shipping a product like this and you come to see that their profit margins are razor thin. Compare that to the iPad's BOM of $260 and you come to see that tablets like the iPad and the Nook are playing at very different games...
