I would like to disaggre !!!

I am always looking for Good and Stable ROMs at XDA,

but as soon as I see the specs, - "Overscroll Glow *** Color", it disappoints me

Also, the Screenshots etc.

Overscroll glow is rather Cartoonish & unprofessional

Moreover, the themes, OMG

2 out of 10 themes are actually worth looking at

There are no good color combinations at all

Sometimes I wonder, how, a developer that developes a ROM, can be so Cartoonish

Most of the themes are rather unprofessional and do not match the level of the Tech Specs, or ROM feature List

No Hard feelings for anyone

I am JavaScript & Web Developer & I code Enterprise level UI & Backend Applications

Wanted to just say it once on XDA !! (I am talking about the theme part :D)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mr Woolf:
I await your more 'more professional ' input.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
there you go: wait for next leaked firmware ~2 weeks and if it will also have overscroll glow start crying =)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hackeron:
This must be a plot to scare us away from the sgs to buy a new phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] safir187:
oh i am so waiting
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
as hungarian firmware surfaced with good old bounce i think that overscrolled one was just a build for dutch court :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] om.thelostone:
I said - no hard feelings

By theme, we mean tht everything should be linked visually, should match in color etc.

By "more Professional"

I mean...

Oh 4get it

I can't explain but can point u to look at the Google apps ( I know they r way too simple) or Go Dev Apps

I mean, with a professional UI & window decoration, flat buttons & curveless design -- if I see a bubble battery icon or a curvy cartoon Bluetooth icon from nokia, it annoys me

It breaks the aesthetic flow

However its my opinion & I do not intend 2 hurt the spirit & intent of theme maker

Its these guys who make theme & promote development

Development is key to evolve

Happy theming & thanks 2 all theme makers

Keep up ur good work

[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
thaat is not official but test version mate / 1:1 with leaked version
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Jrhoop:
Oh :confused: How many other firmwares that have come through Kies have been test versions? Surely the leaked version was just the real deal.....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
how long is test version enabling you to upgrade. it waas there for long time but lways not responding. now they used it TO TEST

latest official i know = hungarian 2.3.4 & 2.3.3 got bounce

trying to get other one relased today to check it
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Jrhoop:
Ive just plugged sgs into standard kies, never had test firmware before.

Im not really bothered by bounce or overscroll, they both tell me im at the top or bottom of the page anyway :D

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] busbutt:
1) Does flashing the DZ engineering HBOOT (needed for Virtuous ROMs etc.) remove the carrier / subsidy / SIM unlock on the phone? I bought my phone unlocked and don't want to have to unlock it again.

2) I read a thread somewhere about issues with Clockworkmod recovery versions and DZ HBOOT. In particular, if I make a nandroid backup with CWM 5.0.2.0 and then flash the HBOOT which would probably include CWM 3.0.2.4, will my nandroid restore fail? Does the version of CWM matter? What would I do if it did fail?

I want to try out some latest sense ROMs, but I'm scared of this HBOOT lark :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bombadier:
As I understand,

Point 1

Flashing the engHboot will not give you carrier unlock,you need to use gfree for that(just reread you post, it will not relock a carrier)

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/HTC_Vision

Point 2

Before changing Hboot If I were you I would downgrade Clockworkmod recovery to 3.0.2.4 make a backup then flash the hboot as per the method over at virtuous ROM dont think backups are backwards compatible,After flashing the engHboot i would strongly recommend changing your recovery to 4ext

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1271775

Its based on clockwork recovery but is far superior IMHO
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] busbutt:
So I went ahead and flashed the DZ HBOOT this morning. I first downgraded to CWM 3.0.2.4 as you suggested before making my nandroid backup. I followed the instructions on the Virtuous ROM website and everything went smoothly. Only thing that didn't happen as expected was that I didn't end up at the HTC boot screen - I had to manually reboot out of the bootloader by pressing the power button before I got to that screen. No problems getting into recovery after that, and no problems with the nandroid restore.

Now I can get myself into some more trouble flashing a Sense 3 ROM :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheetodude24:
did you have any problems with calling people on the sense rom? i installed the sensewich rom and i cant make calls. i cant hear people on the other line but they can hear me. i tried updating the radio and changed back to stock g2 rom but still nothing works.

Is there anyway to geotag using wireless network location as opposed to GPS? The default Camera application requires that I enable GPS before a picture gets geotagged.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] loopydoof:
Alright I got fed up and fixed it myself. Now it'll geotag if the network and/or GPS is on. I also removed the threshold so the Camera can be used until the battery goes to nil. If anyone's interested, PM me.

I just noticed this issue with sending a 2+ page text tonight to a friend. The status said pending. I sent it to myself just in case the pending status was a flock but I didnt receive it. I sent 1 page text & mms to myslef just fine in both 2g & 4g mode. I also noticed if I copy & paste from a document its converted it into mms instead of sending a multipage text.... Im rooted & deleted the tmobile crap but thats about it.

[Xoom General] galaxyII:
Hello,

I have Xoom Wifi (European, bought in Germany).

I see that it has 2 slot microsd and SD

does that mean i can use either SD or micro SD?

can anyone confirm this

thanks
[Xoom General] okantomi:
No, it only has micro sdcard slot and the other one is where a sim card would go if it was a 3G version. The wifi-only Xoom doesn't have the hardware or connections to install a sim card so that is just an empty space.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] nosit1:
Very nice, I will have to test this out tomorrow. Webtop is working well minus some hiccups with Bluetooth mice not clicking properly and display.

But if I want to use this for Citrix receiver and OpenOffice, will definitely want to get this going.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Natronics:
hey bang, an easier way to find the UUID of the swap partition is to run blkid from terminal....it should actually list it as TYPE="swap".
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Jstylen:
Awesome thanks! I'll give this a try right now and report back!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Banggugyangu:
Very nice. I'll update the guide when I get a chance to reflect that. I'm guessing from either terminal emulator on phone and terminal in webtop?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Natronics:
I ran it on the webtop terminal. it showed the UUID with the quotations after the UUID. so I removed the quotations and entered the UUID into fstab.

---------- Post added at 05:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:17 PM ----------

this is what it looks like in blkid:

/dev/block/mmcblk0p2: UUID="a0a11111-a94e-4fa1-ada0-69186b667b1e" TYPE="swap"

The UUID should look like this when you paste it in fstab:

UUID=a0a11111-a94e-4fa1-ada0-69186b667b1e

this is what the finished product looks like in fstab:

UUID=a0a11111-a94e-4fa1-ada0-69186b667b1e none swap sw 0 0
[Motorola Droid Bionic] bnred777:
If you don't see a UUID when you do blkid...

get the location of the partition using blkid... mine was /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

then do a:

sudo mkswap /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

replace the /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 with your sdcards path if it is different than mine. That will set a UUID to the swap partition.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Banggugyangu:
Just a note to those who aren't familiar with linux and/or UUIDs. YOUR actual UUID will be different. You'll have to actually run blkid in either the webtop terminal or terminal emulator (both work. run as super user).

UUID has benefits and drawbacks when compared with the device paths:

UUID values won't change unless the partition is destroyed and recreated. If it's moved around and/or resized, it'll remain the same.

Paths are easier to determine and remember for the less knowledgeable.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Natronics:
Thanks for clarifying the uuid being different for everyone. Forgot to mention that part.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Jstylen:
Oops, got distracted half way though. Anyways, works great! Noticeably snappier right away. Thank you so much for noticing this! Seems like Motorola should have had this on from the get go...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dB Zac:
I have Paragon installed on my computer but I am still fuzzy on how to make this swap partition. Can anyone help me?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Banggugyangu:
delete or resize the existing partition to create blank space. Make a new partition the size you want for swap. Choose "Linux Swap" as the partition type.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dB Zac:
I couldn't find an option for swap partition. I made the space but couldn't get past that step
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Banggugyangu:
It's called "File System Type" or "Partition Type". It's the same option as where you'll find "FAT32" and "NTFS" file systems. You're looking for either "Linux Swap" or "Swap Space"
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dB Zac:
Man, that is weird. I found all those options but there is no option that says swap.....
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Banggugyangu:
I'm not using it myself, so I don't know for sure what options you have. Perhaps you can list them or post a screenshot of them so I can know more of what's going on?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dB Zac:
NTFS, FAT16, FAT32 and none is all it offers
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Banggugyangu:
Hmm that must be a limitation on the free version. You could always download a live CD of ubuntu and use GParted inside that to do the job.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dB Zac:
confirmed. the free version did not have the "swap" partition options but the paid one does
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Banggugyangu:
If you paid for it, that's a little foolish, as downloading ubuntu is free and comes w/ GParted on the live CD.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dhkr234:
It already uses both cores. This is implemented below the android layer -- in the kernel itself. The Linux kernel has always been SMP.

[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
How can we have a AOSP when Google has not even announced if the are going to release the Source code for ICS yet. I mean AOSP stands for Android Open Source Project.

I for one really hope that Google does release the Source and does not treat ICS in the same manner they did Honeycomb. But I think they just did not want Honeycomb ported to phones is why they did not make it open Source. Maybe now that ICS has the features of Honeycomb in it Google will not hold back and not release the Source.
[HTC Sensation] vegetaleb:
ALL Android OS are open source, they are ''obliged'' to release the sources in the 3 months after releasing it on any device.

HTC took the freedom to release their Desire source to the last week so N1 devs couldnt adapt it too soon, but in general as we saw with GB AOSP Google release the sources pretty quickly...specially when a new iphone is endangering sales
[HTC Sensation] esincho:
It'll be released. But his point was honeycomb never was
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
Yeah that is the exact the point I was trying to make. I am also fairly sure that Google will release the source code for ICS as it is meant for phones and tablets where as Honeycomb was just meant for tablets. But to further my point from my earlier post. Honeycomb source was never released and even the great king the HTC HD2 Leo only got on Honeycomb ROM and it still has a ton of bugs and is not a daily driver ROM. In fact I am not sure if the developer is even still working on the ROm as I have not went to the thread in a good while now. So you see a ROM dump from another device that is running the OS version you want from another device will work to make a port. But ports are mostly buggy at best when first released and also require loads of work by devs. But a AOSP ROM usually works way better and from what I know takes less work from devs to bring to a device.
[HTC Sensation] redlyfs:
Can't wait to see what the devs is gonna cook up with ics =)

Just a heads up for anyone who doesn't like adding bulk to their device. I had the black carbon fiber one on my MyTouch 4G and it was great. Installation was a breeze. Also with every order they give you 2 screen shields which I like better then the Invisible shields in my opinion. I have one on the way and will post picks as soon as it gets in.

Photos uploaded. I noticed that on the sides where the top and bottom part meet the side pieces there is a 2mm gap that is consistent on both sides. Also there is a piece that is supposed to go on the camera part surrounding the flash and the lens. I chose not to put it on for now but wanted to let everyone know that it was included.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] evildave_666:
Spec-wise its hardware is almost identical to the Samsung Galaxy 5 (600MHz CPU, identical screen size/resolution, similar ram/flash) yet performance on both stock Froyo and CM7.1 (an apples/apples comparison - there's no custom framework difference) is so inferior.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] amonev:
Someone said that it's the GPU unit in Samsung, but I don't think so. My wife has Galaxy 550 and there is a sick difference in perfomance between two phones.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] psyke83:
The G5 has an Adreno 200 GPU, whilst the U8150 has none, which means that it uses software rendering.

Run the Neocore benchmark and you'll see the difference. The G5 gets ~45 fps on stock (or ~70fps if you use my CM7 port, as I upgraded the GPU drivers) on the G5. The U8150 will probably get 5-10fps.

Apart from the GPU, the G5's chipset is msm7227: this is rated to run at 600mhz, and can be overclocked to ~768mhz. The U8150 is a msm7225 chipset which is rated to run at 528mhz, overclocked to 600mhz by Huawei, and for this reason, less tolerant of higher frequencies, unlike the G5. The msm7225 chipset is also missing the L2 cache, which restricts performance yet again.
