[LG Optimus 3D] borgqueenx:
since im new to android and stuff im wondering if there is a way to upgrade to a different or newer rom, without losing any app, any save games, any launcher, and global settings i had applied.

if you can point me a bit in the right direction i would appriciate it.
[LG Optimus 3D] DevJackey:
not possible. Though... if some apps allows you to make a backup onto your external sdcard, then you can import those back.

However, apps and saved game files, launcher, and global settings are pretty much saved on the rom =/

New rom removes it.

You can backup the apps and their saved files and that kind of stuff.

I use Titanium Backup =]

I recently got an HTC Sensation and was slightly disappointed about the speed of HTC sense and unlocked/rooted my phone to Cyanogen Mod 7 Alpha Build for HTC Sensation. The new speed is incredible but i can't get 3G/4G when using it. WiFi and edge work fine but for some reason i can't get 3G/4G. any help would be appreciated. I'm on T-Mobile btw

How can I add a single song to a playlist in Mango RTM? Every "add to playlist" option adds the whole album. Is this possible?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] livnlif:
Adding a song to a playlist.

Choose your current playlist you want to add to.

Start playing one of the songs in the playlist and click pause.

Hit the back button and find a song you want to add.

Hold down on the song and choose "add to now playing"

Keep doing this until you have all the songs you want.

Then tap the 3 dots on the bottom right of the paused song.

Choose "save as playlist" and name the playlist the same as before (will overwite it) or make a new one.

I just installed CM7 ROM in my Galaxy ACE. I want to make my status bar transparent.

Pls help...

Edit: I m looking for CWM flashable file. I tried one zip file, but after that my status bar got completely vanished..so pls..I hope u all understand..
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] nims11:
i think for transparent status bar use uot or there are many themes for cm7 which has transparent statusbar
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] downloadonlyaccount:
You mean the bar on top to be transparent or the menu u can pull down from it?

If you're looking for the second one, try the first two themes.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] silver2706:
I tired all the themes..nothing happened...I think some thing is missing...

I read somewhere that u need to edit framwork-res.apk to enable transparency..

but i am not comfortable with editing..thats why I am asking for CWM flashable file..

---------- Post added at 03:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:02 PM ----------

Thanks dear but i am looking for Transparent status bar...not for notification menu..
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] QNBT:
1. Download your desired CM7 theme.

2. Open up the apk file (read this)

3. Open up the folder: framework-res -> res -> drawable-mdpi.

4. Replace the statusbar image with a transparent picture (with the same size and file-exention)

5. Download this

6. Select your wallpaper using that app (tap+hold homescreen).

7. Chose the single picture-option and expand your desired wallpaper to fullscreen.

complete.

@ Step 5-7, these steps are required to prevent the statusbar from pulling down the wallpaper.

This process is unnecessary if you know how edit your framework, but since i dont know how to do it i cant help you further than this.

If u are using adw ex, u tick the wallpaper hack option in adw setting. Make sure u apply the theme that support transparent status bar such as miui theme by zdune. And i always enable 16transparency option in cm setting .

Didn't try on other launcher but as far as i know only adw ex support it without any editing in xml. Try it.

[HTC EVO 3D] mancuk29:
Got unlocked and unbranded EVO which I got yesterday

I've had two lockups first when I was updating some apps from market it did quite a few then locked on updating diversion game

Second time I went into quick settings and task manager pressed refresh and it locked

I'm using stock firmware

I've read that some US versions have the "black screen of death" as its being called but can't find out about UK version

Any.idea what is causing it ? What will stop it happening ?

Thanks

I think I read we have 4.0? Is there a place on the phone that tells you what version we have? I miss much about sense but would never go back to the 3D.

We have the ****ty version. =/
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] spencer88:
So how's the switch? Do you like the ET4G a lot better than the 3D?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] _MetalHead_:
I came from the 3D, I hated it. The E4GT is FAR superior in comparison. I missed my OG EVO 4G dearly when I got rid of it for the 3D but now that I have the ET4G, I don't miss it at all.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] boe:
Loving the ET4G in many ways. I do prefer sense for a number of things but being able to make phone calls reliably and not having my clients say "could you repeat that" worth the upgrade. I prefer the ET4G hardware in general over the 3D - bigger screen, prefer super amoled plus although sometimes the resolution on the 3D was nice, I'm not seeing much battery life difference although some say the ET4G is better. I'm not seeing much difference in speed but some say the ET4G is better. I do prefer sense for most things over TW although it is nice to have my email indicator showing the correct number of new messages which sense never got right with my exchange server.

Still I'm wondering what version of TW we have and if there is a way to tell.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] boe:
Anyone figure out what version of TW we have or how to tell on the phone what version it is?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cds0699:

[Android Themes] myriad46:
I have a Nexus S boot animation (the materializing, multi-color "X") on my Droid X2. Someone was nice enough to make a qHD version of it, so the particles come right from the edges of the screen rather than there being a 1/4" gap on both sides.

I just thought it would look even better, if it were to be turned 90 degrees and use the whole screen. I have seen other landscape boot animations, but I don't want to hold my phone sideways to see them. It would just be cool if the particles came from the top and the bottom instead of the whole animation happening in the middle third of the screen.

Not sure if this is more complicated that editing each image in the sequence, but it's certainly over my head. Anyone feeling bored and generous. Thanks in advance.

[Desire Android Development] tobi01001:
Isn't that quite the same as this one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1034743

That's where I learned how to mod autobrighness. and that's actually where I discovered that there is something wrong with the desire and started looking for the problem.

Thanks anyway... Now we have a guide in the desire section as well.

Just a few remarks:

I personally have the hardware keys only lid on the lowest level - meaning when there is absolutely darkness.

Further, the values for up and down should be adjusted accodingly but (IMHO) should not be the same as the brightness levels. The reason is, that those values are there to get smother changes (kind of hysteresis).

So e.g. If you are on the lowest level and the sensor driver signals the next higher level, the value for up should be between the current and the next brightness setting. Don't know if it even works but I think that is how it is supposed to be.
[Desire Android Development] t-minik:
i'm showing only what i saw in BravoS framework.

the 3 sections have same values, I'll test with other rom.

EDIT // you're right :

for 3d AceS :

will test for these values.
[Desire Android Development] tobi01001:
Well, I just remembered.. I tested once and never saw the values for up and down but only the "common" brightness values.

I logged that to a text file "cat /sys/... " so I could see at which sensorlevel, adb value and time the brightness was applied.

But better you test as well. Maybe I was somehow wrong in the first place.

/edit: for the record: this should work for froyo as well. Atm without all sensor levels. But it wouldn't require that much to build a froyo kernel with the driver mod/fix.
[Desire Android Development] PeQuEsan:
I'm quite sure to have seen values from up and down arrays... I just use catlog and filter by "bright"... :P But I didn't know when did they were used, and why... :(

bye!
[Desire Android Development] anderl78:
In my opinion, the up and down values are used to set smoother brightness changes. I think , HTC didn't set them very well. I tried to adjust them a bit and think, its better now (see my sig, autobrightness mod, dark+_Lee3.3.x)

I always use apktool to decompile apk's, its a commandline tool and in my opinion better to handle as the available gui's.
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Thanks :) will try ..lol
[Desire Android Development] PeQuEsan:
Thanks. Yo've answered in some way my yesterday PMs to you... :P

And yes, I also use apktool to decompile and compile/zipalign back... I use apkmanager DOS GUI.

bye!
[Desire Android Development] tobi01001:
I never been lucky using those scripts. So I prefer using apkmanager and zipalign from the command line - just like anderl78 :-)

However, seems to work for you so why shouldn't you...
[Desire Android Development] t-minik:
... use what you want, all are using apktool.jar and the same tools from adb.

you can do the job with another tool of your choice.

The purpose of this topic is to show how to optimize the three levels that did not exist in previous kernels.

at least i forgot to say that you can use a moded framework from UOT to do the trick.

the better way for me is to do your UOT mods before tweaking the sensor levels.

if you tweak you famework before doing UOT mods, framework-res.apk will be much bigger, probably due to a lower zip compression level with UOT.

Did you find a way to adjust Camera's backlight..?

Every time the Camera app launches, the screen's backlight always turn up the brightness substantially...

Some follow-up...

I didn't find anything in the framework...

But decompiling HTCCamera.apk, and looking at smali's did show something...

It seems that it call's setMaxBrightness (), in almost all activity...

I always felt it increases the backlight, but quite surprised that it's set at MAX... :eek:

So...

Anyone experienced in smali's..? :p

Which line is save to delete/edit to prevent this backlight maxing out..?

Thanx in advance... :D

[Desire Android Development] mulletcutter:
I'll bring this back up, this is a good mod, used it on my glacier and now my sensation. Works great, stock values suck.
[Desire Android Development] bur2000:
Are you sure it's like that? The original HTC values don't fit that rule.

I thought that maybe Sense only uses ValuesUp and ValuesDown (BacklightValues being there only for compatibility reasons). So for example you have these values (stock HTC Sense 3):

<integer-array name="config_autoBrightnessLcdBacklightValues">
<item>81</item>
<item>81</item>
<item>81</item>
<item>112</item>
<item>143</item>
<item>163</item>
<item>186</item>
<item>208</item>
<item>231</item>
<item>255</item>
</integer-array>
<integer-array name="config_autoBrightnessLcdBacklightValuesUp">
<item>81</item>
<item>81</item>
<item>128</item>
<item>163</item>
<item>163</item>
<item>163</item>
<item>186</item>
<item>208</item>
<item>231</item>
<item>255</item>
</integer-array>
<integer-array name="config_autoBrightnessLcdBacklightValuesDown">
<item>81</item>
<item>128</item>
<item>163</item>
<item>163</item>
<item>163</item>
<item>186</item>
<item>208</item>
<item>231</item>
<item>255</item>
<item>255</item>

Say you're on sensor level 7 in the ValuesUp part with a brightness value of 186. If the sensor goes down one level to 6 brightness will still be set to 186 which is the ValueDown value for level 6. If it goes down again to 5 finally brightness will be lowered to 163. But if it would have been gone up it would have still been 186.

So a quick change from sensor level 7 to 6 and back to 7 will not change the brightness causing less flickering.

You can check for other changes like 6 -> 7 -> 8 -> 7 -> 8 and find that it maintains a more stable brightness opposed to using just one list for up and down. Going one up or down usually doesn't change the brightness.

So I think that's the way these ValuesUp/Down settings are working.
[Desire Android Development] t-minik:
bur2000, you are right.

that's exactly what happens ;)
[Desire Android Development] bur2000:
I was just wondering because everywhere I read about auto-brightness adjustment people were having identical settings for both lists.

To make use of this feature it'd be better to have both lists shifted by one place to each other.

"Go to the folder where u extract FlashTool and double-click X10flash.bat. Type 1 and press 'enter'." I understand everything, except one thing, he said double-click x10flash.bat.

I just picked this phone up last night on my way home from work - I haven't even had time to test it since I had to spend my night testing software for a release this morning.

But anyway - the little I've played with it (let's be honest, I was up until 2am checking it out after I was done working), I'm really impressed.

My only disappointment (far outweighed by the camera quality and fact that this has a flash - unlike my last Android phone) is that there's no dedicated camera button.

But, I realize, my thumb is resting right on the volume down button as I hold my phone... and that's true for most Android phones really.

Is there a camera app out there that maps the volume down button (or better yet, allow you to map any button you want) to be a shutter button when the camera app is open?

---------- Post added at 04:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:34 PM ----------

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] felixlecat:
There is a paid app in the market called Vignette that allows you to use the volume up or down button for a camera button. It takes better pictures than the stock camera and has more effects before and after the pics are taken. There is also a demo version that you can try before you buy. It really is superb!:)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dmarden:
Camera Zoom FX, which I love, supports button mappings.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] geolemon:
That brings up a good point...

...the stock camera has no zoom, I see.

Vignette and Camera Zoom FX both do, so that alone justifies the extra cost, a bit.

Camera Zoom FX costs a bit more than Vignette, but Vignette has an odd disclaimer when you use the zoom, the preview pic that it shows is grainy and pixellated - "but don't worry, the actual picture isn't" the disclaimer says - but IMO that rather defeats the purpose of having a preview pic.

does Camera Zoom FX have any such disclaimer? Does the preview pic show clearly if you use the zoom?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] _Burst_:
the volume rocker is the zoom. or you can pinch to zoom with stock camera.
