I'm sure that will help once I get past the installation phase, which is where i am stuck, thanks though
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Road_Dog:
Have you read Ubuntu's home page? That's where I got information when I installed on my system.

You realize that you can't run both simultaneously if set up to dual boot? I only mention this because most new Linux users don't know this. Linux isn't a program, but an operating system, like Windows.

If you knew this, cool & sorry if I insulted your intelligence. Never know the level of someone else's experience & hate to assume.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] threestripebrand:
If I remember right you have to install along side of windows for dual boot. Also you do not need to pre partition your hdd. All the options will be there for you to allocate the space you want.

I'm aware that Ubuntu is an OS, I want to run it in a completely separate from Windows, thanks though Road_Dog, covering all the bases. I have yet to install it, THREESTRIPEBAND, so I guess I will boot up Windows and delete that partition, didn't know that Linux was actually that easy to install :) I know about Wubi and Oracle virtual machines, thanks Khilbron, but I want to run it as its own OS.

Thanks for the help, I will hit thanks when I get out the laptop!

is it possible to extract the wifi calling app? would be nice to be able to do this with other android devices like my unlocked bell branded desire z :)

[HTC EVO 3D] Rydah:
How does this work? Is it like an airave but using WiFi?
[HTC EVO 3D] droidsmith:
hmmm, can't say i'm familiar with airave but from a quick google search, yeah, i would agree with your description... would be sweet, make and receive calls over wifi and hopefully not draw from your monthly airtime bucket. probably like UMA for blackberries.

i believe T-mobile is doing this!

[HTC EVO 3D] epicroot:
From my understanding we will not have this anytime soon. The problem isn't getting the apk working... We would simply install and then flash the wifi calling libs.. im sure there would have to be compatible kernels etc.... They problem is that sprints architecture. Does not support wifi calling at this time... Some one please correct me if im wrong..
[HTC EVO 3D] DenDen2012:
Wifi calling is essentially using your router as a cell tower, however you are using the Wifi radio instead of HSPA+ or 3G radio. It also disables your 3G antennae so it saves on power. If you have crappy reception in your home this makes it all better. Texting and calling work. When you near the limits of your home Wifi zone, the system 'hands off' the responsibility of the call to the cell towers.

Requires you to subscribe to a Wifi calling feature.

Someone please rip it or extract it and make it available :) I have an unlocked unbranded SGS 2 on Rogers and I'm in desperate need. Also my first Android device. :D

Evo 3D's have that apk by the way and I have access to lots... :cool:

If there is someone technical enough with this stuff reading this please reveal yourself and lets make this happen. :D
[HTC EVO 3D] epicroot:
EVO 3ds do not have this Apk.. at least sprint doesnt support it I can not says for rogers... But Ur service provider must support it
[HTC EVO 3D] DenDen2012:
I work for Robbers, I can guarantee you they have developed the apk JUST for the EVO 3D though... This is why I need someone technical to help me out. I can go and look for the apk within one of the many phones we have; I just need someone to guide me as to what i need to look for and I can get it done.

I am brand new to the Android scene, came from BB world so I need some guidance from more inclined folks on the forum.
[HTC EVO 3D] proxhack:
answer

there is a rom by evervolv team that unlocks SIP, I am thinking that you can use it to accomplish your request.
[HTC EVO 3D] du57:
I am on rogers using a samsung infuse. I am also subscribed to their uma service. Is it really as easy as you say, installing the evo's apk and flashing wifi calling libs? I would love to have uma on my infuse as I have no signal in my apartment.

I've never "flashed libs"(libraries i'm assuming) but I'm excited to learn if this is a possibility!!
[HTC EVO 3D] DenDen2012:
Whats required of me for this to become reality? I would really like this to happen and I have the means to deliver the files.

It will be up to someone much more technical to take over after that.

What should I look for in terms of files? I need guidance please.
[HTC EVO 3D] MikeMulligan:
I've got a Desire 4G unlocked and using it with Rogers. I have ZERO cell signal in my apartment and would LOVE to be able to use this service. I'm concerned this may not be possible for some esoteric technical reason, because I can't imagine why they wouldn't roll it out to their other android phones if it was, but I wholeheartedly support this effort.
[HTC EVO 3D] du57:
I'm not 100% sure what to look for, but I'm interested in learning and hope someone much brighter than I regarding this can help. Do you have access to the apk's on a Rogers evo 3d? I'm not even sure how they'd be named but something along the lines of wifi calling or uma in the name would be a good start.

It may well not be possible, but technically I can't think of a reason why, unless the apk is linked to the evo. Hopefully not though. I'm going to keep looking into it until I at least find an answer.

If you have an evo with root access that's a good start though, I would imagine.

learning is fun! (hopefully I do some of it)
[HTC EVO 3D] BB88:
rogers really needs to optimize this app. I have disabled it on my evo 3d but its still accounts for 25% of my battery usage. also its the culprit that keeps my phone awake (up time = awake time) and drains my battery very much even i have my screen off overnight
[HTC EVO 3D] DenDen2012:
Is there a way you could post that apk so maybe we can try and get it to work? I tried hooking up a device from work but apparently I cant even get to the system directory to be able to copy it.

I'm wondering, do we need a rooted phone to be able to get to it and all other apk files installed?
[HTC EVO 3D] cloneman1:
Hello gang,

here is the apk from my Rogers EVO3D.

I don't know if it works at all or if I extracted it properly!

http://www15.zippyshare.com/v/63717910/file.html

EDIT: It should be noted that the t-mobile wifi calling app works on my Rogers EVO3D as well. They appear to be interchangable, on "supported" devices
[HTC EVO 3D] DenDen2012:
Thanks for providing the apk. I assume in order to install and use the app I need to root my phone? Would that be correct? I tried installing it but it keeps forcing shutdown even on startup of my phone.

Also how did you install the tmobile version of the app?
[HTC EVO 3D] cloneman1:
After testing, it appears that this APK can't be just 'installed' like a regular app... it's going to force close.

i tried installing on Leedroid for EVO3D gsm, and got the force close. Looking at some other threads, I think it needs to be installed in some special way (some other phones have an addon pack that needs to be flashed via recovery)

The only thing that worked for me was the t-mobile wifi app on the same stock rogers rom (but arguable its just replacing the same app with a different icon)
[HTC EVO 3D] napoleontheruler:
it installed fine on my cdma evo 3d it just would stay on the connecting to network phase. it would load up and even pickup my wifi network it just wouldnt connect. i need this cause i have the worst signal in my house
[HTC EVO 3D] cloneman1:
CDMA EVO 3D?

It's cool that you managed to install it without a crash, but this feature does need carrier-side support as well.

http://www.umatechnology.org/participants/index.htm
[HTC EVO 3D] napoleontheruler:
so it wont until sprint wants it to work?
[HTC EVO 3D] cloneman1:
which is likely never. I believe UMA is for GSM phones...

if it makes you feel better, I have issues with it on mine, I'm likely gonna drop it.

Look into Voip/callforwarding
[HTC EVO 3D] DenDen2012:
Cloneman, how did you get the tmobile version of the app installed and working? Do you think my US version SGS2 would support the app? I am subscribed to the wifi calling access. It should just be a matter of installing the app. Shouldn't it?
[HTC EVO 3D] jasemooser:
It would be nice to have one seamless app to make voip calls.

In the meantime, Ive been using Grooveip and gvoice for calls over wifi with no issues at all.

All what you can change, you can do it in xml files. Overwrite specified settings in a

overlay in your device folder. In the case of CRT Screen animation, the value is searched in frameworks/base/core/res/res/xml/config.xml...

DONT do that direct in android sources, its a high risk to damage the complete build - do

changes only in your overlay folder!!!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] janis605:
It is not that laggy on other phones and I think it looks very nice, aside from that low framerate. Did Samsung fail at their hardware acc for that?!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SupraN0va:
Boot animation is running at 200 mhz because it think that is still in standby, I think.overclock from 200@1200 to500@1200 that should solve the problem if it is one :-). I am not absolutely sure.

Greetings.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] janis605:
That would mean, the boot up process is working slower as it could, I don't think so. BUT it could be that the GPU is in "standby" while doing the animation. Any idea how to set the GPU clock via init.rc? Or is this a kernel thing?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
Pretty sure that is not how the boot animation works. If you want a smother one you got to make your own with some custom frames in between the original frames. There is plenty info on how to make your own boot animation, SEARCH!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] janis605:
Thank you for crying around useless crap. Actually, I already DID my own animation, and also posted it in Themes/Apps forum.

[YOUTUBE]A0w8QcuZk7s[/YOUTUBE]

The thing is that I really like the stock one! (Which can NOT be edited)

[YOUTUBE]50G2uLFDo5I[/YOUTUBE]

If it would be as smooth as the one on GS1, which is just the same, the animation would be just fine.

[QUOTE=janis605;16668401

The thing is that I really like the stock one! (Which can NOT be edited)

I think you are wrong in that assumption .

Why well the Samsung QMG boot files have been either edited or a QMG editor/software has been used to build at least one custom boot via QMG files that is not a zip but both of the bootanimation.qmg files with a different animation inside .

Posted in SGS1 Themes under Bootanimation android astronaut

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] janis605:
You got a link? I could not find a qmg one.

Just found this out: When you push the original galaxy s animation to our galaxy s 2 it is smoother but also way slower, seems like the number of frames is doubled.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] systemcrasher:
does it really matter that the boot animation is bit laggy???

it's not like people stand around phones to watch the boot animation or that laggy boot animation hinders other functions of the phone...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
It has nothing to do with the CPU or GPU clockspeeds, its all about the files used. I've been using the S1 for quite some time and some ROM releases have the smoother (Pre 2.1) animations while some included the ones that looked lagged ( lesser total frames ) What I did with the S1 was just to save the boot animation file on a pre 2.1 and used it on all of my flashes.

But really this should not be of any concern..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] janis605:
I asked why, not if it matters. I'm working on a lot of improvements and bundle them (S-MOD in Themes and Apps Forum) and the boot animation is something that could be better.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] janis605:
-This is right.

-The problem is that the galaxy S2 displays EVERY .qmg file to slow. It shows not enough FPS (around 4), even when using the ones with more frames from the S1 (about 20-30). This resoults in an animation that is waaayy to long.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] janis605:
Looks cool, but anyway, it is displayed to slow. This one was made by Samsung for a korean carrier.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbaker077:
Okay so maybe some one can help me here. I am trying to restore my texts via Titanium Backup, but for some reason it seems like they don't want to show up. I was thinking it could be because due to the fact the last rom I used was Blur based GB rom(from the D2 leak), and my current rom is a stock CM7 based rom, but I doubt that could be it? Before the GB I was a latest on a stock Froyo(i.e. no Blur) rom, and my text with ease showed up the Blur sms software when I moved to the GB rom. Any ideas on what I could do? Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lvpre:
There is a program in the market called sms backup and restore. Give that a try

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] compnird:
I have culled the web and found nothing on this other than a few folks in my same situation and no responses for fixes. I am no stranger to android, backups and restores... never had an issue like this though.

This morning my BAMF 2.1 Thunderbolt didn't have the 'pull ring to unlock' screen... it looked like a standard unlock screen but nothing on the screen would respond. Pulled battery and rebooted... same thing.

I could see the bar at top and received a number of text messages but only saw the first few words scroll by in the bar. Needless to say, I need to read the full context of these ASAP!

I pulled a full backup in Nandroid and then tried the following.

Wipe Dalvik Cache only.

Wipe Cache and Dalvik.

Boot all the way and attempt ADB connection (Says "device not found")

restore to last known good and only restore "data" from advanced restore.

All of these return it to the unresponsive screen.

I wiped out data (factory reset) and get the phone operational and restore Titanium Backups to get everything up until a couple days ago, last backup.

I need the texts that came in from yesterday until this morning... they only exist in the nandroid backup I took above.

HELP!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] volfan22:
I've had the same exact thing happen to me before like that. I really don't know if you can restore just that from the backup though. I don't think you can. Your txts might just be lost forever. Sometimes those things just happen when messing with your phone. Sorry about the luck!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] compnird:
Yup, I have accepted it. Crazy thing is that I didn't mess with it. It was running fine for months and then all of a sudden BAM, no worky.

Ended up being a girl friend of mine who wanted me to come over and help her "house sit" this weekend... Missed out on that one. :(
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eraursls1984:
From now on you should use sms backup, you can set it to automatically backup also.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwterminator:
There is a workaround for the no ring issue. I have had it happen to me once and to fix it, I used adb to delete the Htc lockscreen apk and then it defaults to using stock android lockscreen. I assume after deleting the htc lockscreen you may be able to reflash the rom to get it back to 100% working but I never did go that far. Ultimately, you can get to your text messages after deleting the htc lockscreen. Hope this helps.

Edit: you can access adb via the bootloader

[HTC Sensation] kanav bhasin:
To the European sensation owners who updated their sensation's firmware to stock 2.3.4, have you noticed any special improvements?

Any info on the following issues would be appreciated.

1) Does your touchscreen respond better to fast swipes?

2) Did it resolve your deathgrip issue (if you had it)

3) does sense feel faster?

4) Any improvements in the browser?

5) Any other bug you may have come across, is it resolved?

Other than that please post any noticeable changes you may have observed.
[HTC Sensation] Hattori_Hanso:
Hi

1) The respond is little more better

2) I have no deathgrip issue in the prev. version

3) Little more faster, but if you use live wallpaper the change is not worth mentioning

4) The browser is still good enough, no change

5) Yeah, i have a little bug in keyboard, sometime unusable, not respond, many errors when hit the button

It was not enough time to test, but keep trying

sorry my bad english
[HTC Sensation] sowen222:
1. Yes, Sense seems much more responsive. Swipes seem faster, and certainly when swiping through the home screens or through the application lists.

2. I did not have the deathgrip issue. That is to say, I never hold the phone with my palm covering the whole end of the phone.

3. See 1.

4. Not noticed specific improvements in the browser so far.

5. I haven't had the reboot when using the camera with geo-tagging yet. Hopefully that's fixed but I won't know until I've used it for a few weeks. The gain of the stereo-audio is still set too high, causing clipping when doing video recordings... hopefully they'll fix this soon :-(

6. In The Netherlands, the Watch application now has the ability to purchase videos.
[HTC Sensation] redbullcat:
I had the deathgrip issue before. I don't normally hold it in that position, but if I did, I'd loose all my WiFi signal. It still happens on 2.3.4, but not nearly as much.

Sense feels faster and I don't get the touchscreen not being responsive anymore.

:)
[HTC Sensation] BrokenWall:
They still apparently need to fix the stupid speakerphone issue. I mean hell my phone is reasonable volume when it rings or plays media via the external speaker. but when you get a call and hit speaker or while your on hold with someone and turn on speakerphone, its pointless
[HTC Sensation] insomniac74:
1) Haven't had any issues, but feels somewhat snappier now.

2) Only had moderate signal drop with " death grip" before ota, and it seems about the same now.

3) Sense definately runs smoother now, the "carousel" didn't look smooth before, it does now. olling also much smoother.

4) Haven't noticed any improvements.

5) Not sure if this qualifies as a bug, but screen capture with power + home now works! Never worked for me before the ota.
[HTC Sensation] CB620:
Everything is more responsive. For everybody that ditched the sensation you should have had more patience.

Can't wait for 2.3.5
[HTC Sensation] nardone24:
More responsive and better battery life
[HTC Sensation] zmfl:
Waaay more responsive. No lag now.

I see no difference in wifi signal.

Not sure about the touch screen issues yet. Will have to test that...
[HTC Sensation] ceroglu:
Agreed with everyone, smooth like butter. I would also like to add that battery life is improved. WiFi calling for Tmous is not hogging battery anymore. Standby battery usage is way better. I am using stock Tmous radio.
[HTC Sensation] itzikg83:
Do I have to flash the new radio to use 2.3.4?
[HTC Sensation] ceroglu:
No you don't need to flash new radio. In fact I tried the new radio for a little on my tmous sensation then reverted back to stock radio.
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
I have a question for you 2.3.4 users...is there any improvement with the speaker quality?
[HTC Sensation] sowen222:
The speaker quality during playback (e.g. of Watch trailers) is fine, the stereo-audio recording during videos is still clipped. As far as I can tell, the gain is set too high on the mics, and this has not been corrected in 2.3.4, nor is there a way to manually set the gain lower. In other words: still waiting :(
