Hello users of xda-developers. My HTC Touch diamond is acting up, and i found some top notch deals for a new smartphone.

Basically, i narrowed down my search to a few phones.

-SE Xperia mini pro

-LG Optimus black

-HTC Wildfire S

-Samsung Galaxy Ace

These are all great phones, but i can't decide.

The LG looks great, but i have bad experiences with LG.

I've always loved the HTC sense interface, but i know it can hog RAM memory.

The SE seems more suitable for games, which is also one of the things i want to be able to do with my phone.

I hope i can get some advice on which phones is best suitable for me.

They are all fairly cheap, but the Xperia mini pro is slightly more expensive.

Thanks in advance, Marco473
[General Questions and Answers] marco473:
So basically, after some research, my guess is that the LG Optimus black has the best hardware.

Can anyone confirm that? Also, does the battery last?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killcraft:
what's the best kernel for gaming , speedmod or semaphore.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aventu:
You can overclock with both kernels. I think that's the most important fact.

Semaphore works very good for me , i play reptide gp for hours without any problem .
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killcraft:
thank you for your answers
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disclaimernotice:
You must understand that most android games are ports of iOS games, which means that most android games, even the HD ones, have very low minimum specs. The Galaxy S' GPU and hummingbird processor are more than capable of handling all these games, so:

The only limiting factor is RAM

In short, the more RAM you have, the better the gaming performance.

Hence, between semaphore and speedmod, semaphore wins because it has a bigmem version.
[General Questions and Answers] redsrule2500:
I just got a work phone, which is nice from a work perspective, but bad because now I feel like I have to carry around 2 phones during the work day.

It has unlimited calling, data, but only 250 texts. This is the problem, I text quite a bit with friends/family.

I wish there was some way to forward new texts to my work phone over data, then reply and have them forward to my personal phone over data, in which they then send out via SMS on my personal phone to the receipient.

I know something like this is POSSIBLE, just didn't know if there was anything out there that could fufill this possiblity.

I would just set it up during the work day and set it up to forward calls on Tasker as well, this way I could leave my personal phone in the car while at work.

Thoughts ?

Hi folks,

I'm looking for someone who can either provide a guide for replacing existing BlurPhone.apk with .apks that work with the native gingerbread SIP stack OR someone who successfully hacks BlurPhone.apk so mIsSIPSupported is not hard-coded to false.

I personally will provide $20 Paypal payment to anyone who is the first to do either of these two things. I've been patiently waiting for ROM releases on this phone only to find out that all the options we currently have still utilize the stock BlurPhone app...

Anyone else who would like to offer bounties for this accomplishment please chime in here.

Thanks!

This is actually a HUGE thing for me - so I'll toss in $20 too.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] tnnm:
Dumb question: Would this just be standard SIP support that I remember Google talking about 12 months ago, or would this also include the ability to use Google Voice right in the OS?

Google Video Chat works ridiculously well so I can only imagine how well Google Voice calls would sound (requires less bandwidth) if it was built right into the OS. As it stands, I use GrooveIP and it is always very frustrating to the recipient of my call.

Detailed instructions on how to flash FXP/CM ROM.

You must be on FXP/CM or stock ROM.

Download FXP/CM ROM and kernel. If you have FXP ROM, just open X10FlashTool.exe. But if you have CM ROM, download my attached bundle and copy it to FlashTool firmwares directory, then open FlashTool. Now select Flash option and select FXP/CM kernel. Turn off your phone. Hold back button and connect USB to phone. Press OK. If no errors thrown continue, else retry. Copy update.zip to SD card and reboot to CWM. For FXP, press touchscreen on logo. For CM, press back button on logo. In CWM select "wipe data/factory reset". After that select "install zip from sdcard". Then "choose zip from sdcard". Now locate FXP/CM zip and select "Yes". Reboot and enjoy! :)

Progress made by people who are fixing FXP/CM.

All devs are welcome! Drop me a PM if you want to help us.​
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] dmcb123:
For the installation:

1- Download the zip.

2- Unzip it and save all the files to a folder somewhere on your computer.

3*- Place the loader.sin from FXP thread in the loaders folder where you have flash tool

4- Open Flashtool and click advanced tab and then click bundle creation

5- Add the loader.sin and the kernel u downloaded and click bundle creation. Close Flashtool

6- Open flashtool again and click on the bundle you just made. Flash it.

7- Boot to CWM and Flash the ROM via "install custom zip" option.

8- Enjoy :)

*afaik the loader provided with falshtool doesnt work correctly. Also whoever uploaded new loader could you please upload it here too? i can't remember who it was.....

Im 99.9% sure this is correct.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Dare-Devil Inside:
I don't know, really. :(

I saw some people making it work deleting ANT+ files and using FXP028 kernel without OC or Blagus 030 kernel.

You should ask ponanovn for help.

But I can't help much besides of helping noobs or testing stuff.

Good luck friend ;)

FXP is working on it for 7x30. They say that if they can fix for 7x30, it is fixed for 7x28, because it is the same for the both chipsets.

But if you can do it better and faster than they, why not do it? Good luck, i wish you a good work ;)

Also, it would be nice to have a base Kernel (compatible with different ROMs) so we don't have so many combos, which make devs lives a lliving hell to check which ROM work (or not) with which Kernel...FXP 027, 028, 028OC, 030, 030 Blagus, 042, 043 Kernels and ROMs, plus linuxDX and all GDX.

No for that to work we need rewritten audio libs.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] oic0:
At first I wasn't going to but after reading all the stories about burnout I'm now running a black homescreen background with no dock (hate docks) and no notification area. Sparse grey icons I periodically rearrange. Overkill? are you guys running fancy desktops? have you experienced any burnout?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Boobie Watcher:
You dont need to do that man.....the only way you're going to get burnt images is if you left you're screen on full brightness and had a static image (in the same spot) for weeks and never turned you're screen off....do what you want with it, you bought the phone and spent the money, enjoy it. It will be fine!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] phositadc:
I'm not worried about burn in, but I do run a solid black wallpaper to save on battery life. My widgets and icons are the same as they would be on any other phone though, so it probably only saves minimal battery. But I like the black background anyways :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] xAnimal5:
He's not talking about that. Read before you post.

OP, black wallpaper is great for reducing AMOLED battery life consumption. All of your icons decrease battery life, as well, but minimally. You can change the icon color of you want, it'll make a minimal difference.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] yoderk:
I'm not sure what you read but he responded correctly....

OP its overkill man. I've never experienced any burn in on a phone. Just stay away from the white status bars because they will always be visible and with a long screen on time can sometimes cause problems.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] toolman129:
I do have a bar on my captivates screen where the notification bar is. Only really noticeable on a white or light background while in a fullscreen app of course, and not at all terrible or distracting. Either way, I'll be making no effort on my s2 to prevent it from possibly happening again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sepherous:
i've mad the opposite concession. I know i'll have sucky battery life but I just reduce game play, syncing etc. and have that beautiful screen up to full brightness all the time with a particularly colorful backround. It gets a ridiculous amount of attention every where i go. People litereally ask me about it all the time. Its awesome :cool: I love it , then again this is my first super amoled screen i can't help but be in awe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Boobie Watcher:
people on here amaze me sometimes.....try to help people then some douche comes along and gets all high and mighty on the forum....dude i read the first post and responded accordingly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SoCaliTrojan:
Like it was mentioned above, black screens are better for AMOLED screens. A regular screen has to turn on pixels to show black. In an AMOLED screen, the pixels are just turned off to show black. Thus, the more black on your screen, the more power you're saving.

I didn't buy this phone with this amazing screen to only use black backgrounds and gray icons!

The colors on this screen are simply amazing! Use it! If your screen gets burnt-in in two years, who cares? You have to enjoy what you have. In two years you probably feel worse about not having the Galaxy S4 than having minor burn-in problems somewhere in the screen...

And as far as the battery usage:

Most of the battery usage is not generated by the home screen. Really, who spends hours per day viewing their homescreen? Most of the usage comes from the system itself, phone calls, games, web browsing, etc.

If you generate 5 minutes extra battery life by having dark-gray icons, i'd be surprised!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MikeyMike01:
The only thing that makes sense is changing to a solid black status bar.

And it takes way less than two years to burn in.

Well, I tried almost everything.

I'm using a rom which have Hibernation active by default, but there is no option to turn it off. I searched in a lot of forums, but I found nothing. And I didn't get the answer from the developer.

The problem is: when the screen turns off, my wi-fi gets disconnected: because of that i cannot leave instant messaging programs in the background, like Nimbuzz or Skype.

Is there a way to fix that?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
If recovery mode is working (Volume UP + Home + Power), then do a factory reset.

If that does not help, flash the stock ROM again. The whole ROM, not only the kernel.

After flashing the ROM, you may root your phone again.

I recommend to flash the corresponding CF-Root kernel from Chainfire.

How have you tried to root it?

Maybe you should use another method.

Try the following things separately:

Restart Odin.

Use another USB connection.

Use another USB cable.

Restart your PC.

Install phone drivers using Kies.

Check that no Kies process is running when flashing with Odin in Task Manager.

Have you done a factory reset in recovery mode?

Is the battery fully charged?

Firstly, when you create topics use proper descriptive titles instead of idiotic ones liek you have.

Second, if you solved your problem tag the title as [SOLVED] and comment on what solution was so that others who can be bothered to use search function who have same issue may find answer.

Titling it this way and just simply saying "please close thread" and not replying on how you solved when you don't need help anymore is a completely selfish thing to do. And if you didn't get your solution its even more selfish as others may want to use/reply to this thread instead of creating unnecessary duplicate topics.

Am I doing something wrong? I've restored the calls using a special program that makes its own backup, but I'd rather do it all from within TB if that was possible.

I've restored all of the green items and rebooted, but the logs did not come back.
[Epic 4G General] AmericanJedi001:
I'm sure somebody will correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that TB backs up call logs. As much as the developer maintains it you'd think he would build that in, but I'm not aware of such a feature.
[Epic 4G General] toadlife:
Called logs are part of 'system data', which I don't think is a 'green item' in TB. Try restoring all system data. Also, if you are going from one version of Android to another, you may have to enable "migrate system data" option in TB's preferences.

"Dialer Storage" is the item that holds your call logs and sms/mms messages
