[XPERIA X8 General] swechrill:
I have tried stock 1.6 (before the big update), Eclair (unrooted and rooted)and now GingerDX V.6. A fact is that the X8 are not a terribly fast smartphone. It is fast enough for many things like divx-movies and not too complicated games. It´s like a cheap computer! You can do standard things but nothing too complicated and it doesnt do anything with an impressive speed.

I cant say that i notice any difference in speed between stock 2.1 and GingerDX. When the phone has been idle for a while it´s a little tired in a few seconds (Sometimes, not allways). But it was as tired when stock eclair was on it to.

I have 50 apps (and games) installed in my phone. Maybe there´s la difference if you have a lot more things installed.
[XPERIA X8 General] hunff:
Currently Im using FroyoBread v23

Why?

In GingerDX v010, after one night, my battery drains 16-20%

In FroyoBread, 6-8%

I did the tests with clean installations, original applications (Gmail, talk, maps, etc) removed and SD erased.
[XPERIA X8 General] corsav6:
I have tested all top roms (fb,minicm,floyo,fxp.....) I am now using Kuyadroid v3 because its fast and great on battery, 1-2% standby overnight and 3-4 days with moderate use. I like DX roms and will prob switch to GingerDX later in development.
[XPERIA X8 General] aaronsuarez95:
using gingerdx, battery drain is too much :(
[XPERIA X8 General] Mika Dee:
Well I will go with Gingercruzt 7.4.

Why?

Coz of its faster than GDX and a combined mixed of SE application and updated feature not to mention the interface is so cool.

I am helping a buddy with his Infuse 4G, and his USB port is broken. He has a stock rom on it, but it's still rooted. He needs to replace it for a CLNR replacement phone but we gotta unroot first. How can this be done without ODIN? In the stock recovery it has a flash package option, can it be done that way? If so where can I find the file? The only problem is that SuperUser won't go away :( lol

[Samsung Infuse 4G] theratdude64:
I figured it won't be too big of a deal as long as it looks stock with no special boot animations or something, I had a friend return a phone to T mobile that had root but nothing otherwise, stock recovery, etc. But my friend is quite worried because it can be an insane .
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mfpearson:
won't doing a factory reset from settings > privacy unroot it? it wipes your SD card, so this should be all that you have to do...

I dont think that unroots it...i think there is a master crazy dialer code that might. i was undery the impression that factory reset is just the same as wiping data

This is a general thread, so I'm putting this here, so shoot me... On thing I noticed with a lot of people, they never keep their apps updated.. And it's not a matter of bad updates, it's just they don't update... I think it's funny and then they complain about lack of features! How many people here do that? Haha

yeah my dad made me root his phone, and installed mikrom on it, but then i got a shift also, and it was 2.3.3 and he just switched with me without caring about root. haha
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
I generally set mine to check for updates automatically, and ask before installing ;) . But most people I come across that do not update say " it's because I'm used to it the way it is" . They either do not want to have to learn something new, or they do not want to change the set up. They basically don't want to leave their comfort zone.
[EVO Shift 4G General] yamaford:
I've got mixed feelings about updates. I flash different versions so often I enevetably get the most current roms but I like to see a changelog first if I'm just at the my Apps screen. If there is nothing that makes me want to update then I stick with what I have for good reason. I hate Pandora now because it got worse with every update. Vplayer was once free but they snuck an expiration in with an update. Facebook has always been a hopes raiser and then a let down until this recent format they have now. It still sucks just not as bad. Tubemate and craigslist update so darn often I delete them until I need to use them. Figure that way it really feels like an update and I got to skip a few things they broke fixing something else.
[EVO Shift 4G General] linuxman008:
Yeah tubemate has frequent updates, mostly because youtube is making it harder for them to download from it, and since it keeps getting removed from the market for youtube terms of service violations, every time there is an update, they change the apps internal name. This makes it install two different versions, and we have to go find the old one in settings and uninstall it, which is a pain. Oh well, the app is amazing enough to deserve it. It has had so many updates, that I've never had it not correctly work.
[EVO Shift 4G General] jesusice:
Thanks for this, it explains a lot.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stumpyz9:
2.3.4 isnt rootable right now. you have to use the downgrade thread in the development forum to get to 2.2 then you can root it and flash a 2.3 rom.

Very cool.

I don't know if we can credit you with this discovery because, logically, it's a launcher apk that (with the 4.5 modifications) has been known to work anywhere. But still... I"ve been looking into theming my phone as much as possible, and this UI proves it's doable.

A heads-up to people who don't know about HeLauncher (mentioned a couple threads down anyway) or LauncherPro's Sense Mod.
[Motorola Triumph] carter6739:
Are there any other mods or custom roms anyone knows of that'll work for the Triumph?

No credit needed i had nothing to do with this besides trying to install it and alerting others that they could use it. I'm just happy to help cross reference XDA. I really don't like using the touchwiz interface anyway i prefer launcherpro plus. I know that some people do like touchwiz though so i figured i'd post it in this very slim section of the forum.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sewhuy:
My brother recently ported his Sprint# to google voice and is now with a different carrier. Now he wants to jump on my Sprint family plan. Can I simply start a new line and request to port his GV#(former sprint#)? Does his GV# have to belong to me in order to reinstate service?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vita10gy:
He can make his google voice number ring any other number, so he can just get a new one, and no one really needs to know the difference. (Unless I'm missing a key point)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sewhuy:
Here's the deal. He wanted to keep his original sprint#, so he ported it to google and canceled his service with ETF waived due to the recent changes. The whole point was to get the S2 for the subsidized price. Something about he has to wait 90 days before he can return to sprint as a new customer to get the discounted phone.

Sooooo, if I were to open a new line on my family plan, I qualify for a new line discount. By porting his number on my new line which he is planning on using, shouldn't that get him a new subsidized phone(S2) with his original sprint number? Not to mention a cheaper monthly bill for everyone.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Ooije:
Some ROMs are configured with the Answer key as some kind of headset key, so you can use it to answer/hang up/play/pause. This could be quite annoying since you can accidentally hit the button when you have the phone in a pocket.

This "app" clears your playlist, so hitting the play button doesn't do anything. Instead of using volume->pause to stop music you just pin the app to the homescreen and tap on it. To resume you'll have to go back into Zune and start a playlist.

Update 2011-09-01: I've updated the xap package to support Mango. I've also removed all unnecessary permissions from the app manifest.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] EricTheViking:
Thanks m8, will check it out :)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] JHoogstede:
Great job, the app does what it is supposed to do, but...

I get an error about DRM-stuff etc.

It works, but it would be great if the error cold be lost :)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] NickT:
Sounds good, I have this problem with my current ROM (Back to the Future v2 Mango ROM) as I did with the previous one. I think that I like the use of the button but just wish it didn't work while the phone was locked. I found myself restarting the phone to clear the music so nothing was playing just to get around this issue.

I'm updating my Windows Phone Developer Tool to 7.1 Beta hoping that this will enable me to sideload XAPs (currently I'm on dev tools 7.0 and it isn't working). I shall report back if I can actually install this XAP and if it does what I need it to do. Thanks for creating this :)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] NickT:
Damn, the XAP installer isn't working for me (Tom's XAP installer 1.2) despite updating the Windows Phone 7 developer tools. I now read a reset of the device once getting to build 7720 may resolve this issue but that would mean setting the phone up again :( Oh well, I'll try the app as soon as I get to the bottom of the XAP issue.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] amno1970:
It's a good idea, but it keeps crashing with DRM error after doing its job.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] jhonny:
hi Nick T

after installing 7720 , i couldnt install any XAP apps.

i did a hard reset and now all is good, everything works good

cheers
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Ooije:
I've updated the xap in the first post. It should now support Mango.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] NickT:
I figured out that resetting the phone would allow XAP installation so got around that issue last night when I completely wiped my HD2 and flashed the new v2 with updated radio onto my phone. I was hoping I wouldn't have to reset after spending ages setting the phone up but never mind.

I can confirm the new version of this app does exactly what it says on the tin :) I had issues with the older version as already reported when running on Mango, the new version works with no errors and clears the playlist which prevents any resuming of music from my pocket (running build 7720).

Thank you Ooije :)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] mapleleafs89:
One thing that pisses me off, if Im done listening to a podcast or a song when I press back and go back to the homescreen, if I change the volume the Play Rewind and FastForward buttons are all still there.

When I am in lock screen they are also all still there. (Sometimes I hit end button and then the play button gets hit on the screen in my pocket)

Is there anyway to get rid of those buttons, like closing the zune player so its not running in background even when you hit the back button on it.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Ooije:
That's exactly what this app does :). I just tried it with a podcast using build 7712 and it's working properly. Since you wrote in this thread I assume it didn't work for you? If so, which OS version are you using?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] JHoogstede:
New version works great! Error which I reported earlier is now fixed! Now let's hope that Microsoft will implement such a feature in a next update.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
[ info ]

the reason i created this thread is that many custom kernels for our X10 are having the feature of running init.d scripts at startup, BUT the problem is that some ROMS dont have the necessary/correct files in place for executing those scripts...

so i am attaching a easy to flash update.zip which contains these missing files required for full functionality of executing startup scripts...

use the following files only if u are not able to execute init.d startup scripts on ur current ROM

[ requirements ]

rooted device with recovery installed

kernel/other modifications which support init.d script execution (via sysinit) [exec /system/bin/sysinit]

[ download link ]

update.zip flashable via xRecovery-0.3-GBready (amend syntax)

init.d-autorunner-v01.zip

[ additional info ]

i have added the following things in the update.zip:

corrected /system/bin/sysint file

run-parts binary in /system/xbin/run-parts (which is basically busybox 1.16.2 binary)

test/example script /system/etc/init.d/99test

CM7-FreeXperia ROM already supports this execution so no need to flash it on that ROM

if ur startup script is not correctly working then u need to make sure that u have the correct permissions on the script (just tick all 9 boxes using RootExplorer permissions pop-up)

let me know how it goes!

ENJOY!

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] aZuZu:
Hey doom and other devs

How many copies of busybox we will have in roms :D

I mean why not just add special folder rtm ( run-time module ) and place our busybox there...

That would ensure that it is not overwritten and replaced by market or some external thing...

If you take look now we have devs placing busybox in /recovery/sh /xbin/sh /bin/busybox etc, etc ...

Let's not forget busybox has size 700 kB that is like almost 1 MB of wasted space per copy...

And all sh scripts can run using #!/path_to/busybox sh and let's not forget that run-parts are created by update-script in xbin or bin folder :D so making new copy of busybox as run-parts not needed :D

And sysinit can be as service in init file :D

service sysinit /path_to/busybox run-parts /system/etc/init.d
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] yunuss.10:
Hi Doom,

Thank you :cool:
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
aZuZu u will have to check all busybox binaries... wht i found was NOT ALL busybox binaries support run-parts (u can check it ur self)...

there are symlinks created using update-script which are wrong... u should be using busybox --s -install command always...

anyways the problem is that some devs use busybox in /system/bin /system/xbin

some include busybox in ramdisk (/sbin)...

so simplest solution for run-parts is to use a small "<400kb" binary which handles this well...

BTW i already use the sysinit service for my other kernels (Arc/Play/etc...) ;) [which is much more advanced]

the solution posted here is a generic one which should work for MOST kernels...

P.S.: having a small 400Kb file is not going to waste 350MB+ space of ur /system partition
