about nand or sd:

some people like to dual-boot either winmo or Android. This will give you the option to run one or the other. If you decide to go the sd route then you might want to check a program called RunDroid found here. It makes it make the process of booting different builds a lot more simple and easier I feel.

About radio:

I know a lot of people seem to say stay above 2.10 but I've seen a small increase using 2.08.50. This will/can be different for you so i would suggest to try them to see what gives you the best signal. Start with the newest or maybe even 2.15.50.

About testing signal strength:

For a good way to get a

fairly accurate reading

on signal I would go into settings, about phone, then network. Look at the signal you have, I would suggest to leave your phone in one place and don't try to move it. Get the readings maybe 3-5 times over a few mins, I'd think the longer the better. Then flash a new radio. The closer to a positive number the better. Low signal for me normally means around -108 while good for me is around 89. (It's normal to show negative when you have poor signal.) This is a little more accurate I feel then trying to see how bars you have. Infact one radio over another may only show a small increase and not enough to generate a full bar so just play around and see what works best for where you live.

Hi All,

Hoping someone can help,

I recently picked up a Galaxy 10.1 (3G), and am battling to get to the US market for applications.

On my Desire HD its as easy as installing MarketEnabler and setting it to T-Mobile, but cant seem to find any information for Honeycomb Tablets.

Has anybody been through this and found a solution?

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

If so just download the apps apk file and then transfer it over bluetooth to your Tab and install it.

Take your sim out. Use a vpn with US IP. Even if you use vpn but not take out sim you will end in the free apps market. and also stop market and clear cache in settings applications. You can also try to find an ATT TMobile sim card. I had one non activated which had come with my old Iphone.

I found the power and volume buttons are improved to help people to press in sweet armor bumper, but taurus gives more alternative colours :)

Any suggestion???

[Galaxy S II Accessories] SugarySnack:
Do these things actually protect well? I feel like the impact would be transferred to the device more so than a TPU/silicone case. Sure they look nice, but I don't feel like they are practical.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ekoandrew:
When I got it, it was installed by a friend of mine, the in between the case and phone, have a silicone cushion build on the case. The phone do budge or move at all.

I guess the silicone cushion is made for shock absorption.

I know there has been some confusion as to which recovery kernel and which update.zip file to use. These 2 files are confirmed working CWM Recovery 3.x.x. Yellow.

update.zip - update.zip

CWM Recovery Kernel to be flashed in Odin - cwm_recovery_test4_adryn.tar

Any issues with links being broken please let me know!

Enjoy!

As an addendum, keymapping is as follows;

Vol up and down - Navigate menus

Power button - Menu selections

You will still need to use the softkey to load the update.zip file from the stock recovery.

[Continuum Android Development] phrite:
jaizero;

thank you very much for doing this, i have a few other questions if you don't mind answering in regards to this whole cwm thing (yellow, green and is there another color?) i am just total confused at this point as to what works with what.

i know someone is going to tell me to use the search to get these answers, problem is there are so many different cwm files floating around i am not sure what works on what anymore?

for example:

theme and softkey for 2.2 Froyo on the Continuum

i have tried several (5 of them) of these using the yellow cwm and they all fail. i am not sure if it is something i am doing or what? that is where my confusion is.

what is the main difference of the three?

is there one place on xda that has all three listed for download?

do i need all three?

i guess that sums it up for me, you guys have done a fantastic job on turning this phone from an almost belly up, into more of a beast. i am great full for everything you (the XDA community in a whole) has done for this as well as many other phones.

phrite
[Continuum Android Development] jaizero:
Phrite;

The actual color is of no consequence its just an artistic touch the dev adds to the recovery kernel.

I only know of 2 working versions for our phone:

CWM 2.5.x - Cyan in color works with Eclair 2.1 and may work with Froyo 2.2 to install Amend scripting zip files.

CWM 3.x.x - Yellow in color works with Froyo 2.2+ and is not backwards compatible and uses Edify scripting.

- You cannot use 2 different recovery kernels at once.

- You must use the kernel that is compatible with the verison of Android your phone is running.

- You must use the update.zip file that is appropriate for the verison of Recovery you would like to use. The ARE NOT interchangable (Not in my experience anyway)

- Pay attention to the Recovery version numbers and not the colors. The devs can make it any color they want.

- CWM Recovery version 3.x.x introduces 'edify' which is explained in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=977886#11796508

All credit goes to Adryn (kernel) and imnuts (update.zip) I'm just providing the proper venue.

Lucky for you I'm not one of those guys thats gonna tell you to search. You've probably been searching all f'in day with no answers. I understand your pain.

I havent tried any of the softkey mods but I will right now and see if I get the same results as you. Ill post back with the results.

Are you on Froyo or Eclair? That is gonna be the deciding factor on why things are or ARE NOT working for you.

Ok I tried installing one of the softkey mods with CWM 3.x.x (Yellow) and it failed giving me the edify script error.

I usually recieve this error when I try to install Eclair with the 3.x.x (Yellow) recovery.

Please see the Softkey Theme thread for further info. I do not want to pollute this thread with anything but recovery questions.

[Motorola Droid X2] triton302:
I currently own the Droid Charge and owned the DX before it. The DX was the best device I've ever owned and sold it for the Charge right before Verizon switched over to tiered data plans, so I could lock in the unlimited data.

Anyway, while I like the Charge I don't love it like I did the DX, for a number of reasons. The AMOLED screen is nice but is too fake, the colors are too vivid. I liked the more "natural" screen on the DX. The build quality of the Charge is a disappointment, feels too cheap, while both the X and X2 feel very solid and well built. The call quality on the Charge is ok... nowhere near as clear as the DX. The power button on the side is very strange, I'm used to it being on the top of the phone like the X and the Incredible before that. The usable RAM on the Charge is only 327 MB, and I've hit this mark several times, whereas I've only hit the maximum RAM allowance on the DX once and it was while testing the ApeX ROM.

Now, the only advantage the Charge has over the X2, yes I know, is LTE. But here's the thing... While 4G is fast and enjoyable, it is only so if you have 4G data signal. I live in Fairfax, VA, outside of DC and it's considered a 4G area, but my 4G connections aren't always that great. Heck, even if I set it to 3G only it still drops out to 1X or nothing at all, just voice only. The 4G-3G handoff is slow as well. I still think Verizon's LTE network is too new at this point and needs to be further enhanced, and better LTE radios installed before it will be very close to 100% reliable. Not only that, but if I'm at home using my phone I can just connect it to wifi, otherwise I have slight to moderate normal data use when I'm out and about, so the speed isn't a deciding factor for me.

I've heard good and bad things about the screen on the X2, and I can vouch for some of them as well. The first time I handled the X2 I was very disappointed at the pixelation of the screen, but for some reason the model I handled this past weekend wasn't as pixelated, and seemed to be ok for me. The colors aren't too cartoonish like the AMOLED screens, but they are rich enough, not washed out like other LCD screens. The only thing that I'm disappointed with is the removal of the camera button... WTF is with that? :o

So, I'm trying to decide on what to do. I'm still within the 90 return period from Costco so I can take the phone back and do the difference between price. Of course I could always wait for the Bionic to come out, but by that time, there will be another phone with a much better LTE radio and many more upgrades will be on the market.

Anyone a former Charge owner that defected to the X2? Anyone have any opinions or suggestions?
[Motorola Droid X2] Macguyver:
I took the warranty replacement of the Fascinate when it was offered last month. So while I didn't come from the charge, the Fascinate has the Amoled screen and really isn't all that different from the charge. Which is why I ended up on the X2. Samsung just left a rotten taste in my mouth with their software and build quality. I just hated the idea of getting another Samsung right now. I also could have gotten the Incredible 2 but it just felt to small and I didn't like the screen.

As for the screen on the DX2, I have zero issues with it coming from an amoled to this. sure, its not as vibrant. So what, its a phone. If it was a TV I would have been extremely picky but I don't think there's anything wrong with the screen at all. So with that and the fact that everyone I ever talked to or heard of loved the OG DX I took the plunge.

That said the build and call quality of the DX2 is phenominal in my opinion. Yes Blur kinda sucks but until more roms come out its nothing your favorite launcher can't fix. GB runs pretty good even stock but you can easily install the pre-rooted GB that is out and remove what you don't want with no issue. Honestly I love my DX2, and I'm picky as hell.
[Motorola Droid X2] triton302:
My girlfriend has the Fascinate and you can definitely see the pixelation of the older SAMOLED technology, but the Charge has the SAMOLED Plus which doesn't look as bad. But a lot of GS2 owners are complaining about burn-in and other screen related issues, and I went through two replacement Charges with those exact issues.

I honestly should have gotten the TBolt instead of the Charge, especially with a lot of the kinks worked out in it, but I still want something reliable, that's the most important part. My DX was damn reliable, only had one major issue with it and that was the first time I SBF'ed 2.2 back onto it. As I said, 4G is not a deal breaker for me. When the LTE network is better on both the phones and the network then I'll fork out the money and buy one at retail as long as it's worth it. But until then I want something solid, reliable, clear and fast.

Can X2 owners attest to those main points?
[Motorola Droid X2] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
You won't be disappointed with the call quality, speed and reliability. The speed requires rooting and a bit of time in the development section, but I'm happy now. Coming from a DX it feels like home.
[Motorola Droid X2] Sandso9:
Check your PM's triton if your interested let me know ;)
[Motorola Droid X2] juhde:
The X2 is kind of lack luster out of the box, but rooted and tweaked it becomes a serious little power house. It just depends on your preference. I love modding my phone so the out of the box performance means nothing to me. The potential is defiantly there, it just needs a good bloat cleaning and a few other tweaks.

Sent from OH MY GOD IS THAT A SQUIRREL!
[Motorola Droid X2] triton302:
Thanks folks.

Is it true that even though it has 512 MB of RAM like the X did, it uses DDR memory instead for faster speeds? How's the graphics processing on the X2? I remember getting in the high 20 FPS range with Neocore with the X.
[Motorola Droid X2] DAG425:
Having come from HTC devices, both Android and, I kno... WinMo 6.1 I have come to love the DX2. Yes there is a lack of development at the moment, but that will change... The graphics on the DX2 are pretty amazing. I get high 40's to 50's in Quadrant on the 2D and 3D video tests. I had never owned a Motorola device before but the phone is solid. I have never held a phone that feels as solid as this one. As stated by others rooting and debloating the phone will make a major difference in speed, stability, reliability, and the overall feel of the phone functionality. I have no problem waiting on development because when it does come there is a load of potential packed away in the deep dark of this phone...

EDIT:: 54.6 on Neocore, 60FPS max in Quadrant, and 52.47FPS in Antutu while on maximum battery saver BTW....
[Motorola Droid X2] triton302:
Not bad at all.

Any other X2 owners that came from the Charge?
[Motorola Droid X2] navenedrob:
I've played with the Charge, the Incredible 2, and now the Droid X2. Personally, I think the Droid X2 is awesome. Technically is superior to the Charge except for 4G, because it obviously doesn't have it. The only thing outside of 4G that people question is the screen, and to be perfectly honest, I think it's really nice. I don't even miss SAMOLED. The Droid X2 screen is just so sharp and crisp.

What you need is a comparison, and PDADB is perfect for that. Here is a link to technology comparison between the Droid Charge and the Droid X2. How can you say no to dual-core Cortex A9 processors and a GeForce GPU in your phone? You really can't. Don't be discouraged by the dev community, because it is just getting started. When the Droid X2 gets more and more dev support, it will be awesome. That's why I'm here, to help with that :o
