I'm using go launcher ex. The customizations and ability to backup settings is great. Whenever I flash a ROM, I just restore the backup and the custom stuff is already done.

I tried the Desire Z when picking out phones. The landscape mode only worked when the qwerty was open, and the screen didn't seem very sharp.. I'm glad I waited an extra few months to get my phone because I would have been stuck with a Samsung, and missed out on the xperia play gamepad. The xplay literally popped out of nowhere in my country. I had no idea it was coming out beforehand.

My advice: look around mobile blog/review sites for previews/announces of upcoming models. You never know, a couple months from now something better suited to you might be released.

I wrote a guide for newbies on rooting and installing custom ROM for Milestone.

You may download it or share it with other Milestone owners via this link: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10439360/How_to_root_custom_rom_Milestone.doc
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] parads:
Excelent guide.

Only one thing: why 3-fingers method? I can go to recovery pressing Power + x. Maybe on other MM you need to use Power + Camera, but I've never read about someone that need the 3 buttons at the same time.

Just in case you dont know it, there is an option on Androdiani to go straight to it without have to apply the update.zip each time you boot to recovery.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] -FuFu-:
nice guide ;)

but i think you must change the step "how to boot to recovery"....

bootloader version 90.73 and 90.74 you need to hold the camera-button to boot into recovery mode.

and bootloader version 90.78 you need to hold the "x" key to boot to recovery

there is no need to hold "x" and camera button to boot into recovery mode...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
I dunno. Somehow for my Milestone I cannot use the Power + X key. I have to use the 3 finger method.

My guide was written back when I started to learn how to root and flash custom ROM and it is for people coming from the G.O.T Update method using the modded stock FROYO sbf firmware where you don't get any option to boot straight into Recovery Mode...hence the reason for the 3 finger boot to invoke the Recovery Mode and the menu to apply Sdcard:Update.zip.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuantuti:
Hi all,

I'm sure all of you are flashing CM7 stable builds on your Atrix rite now :D and ADW Launcher is default in the ROMs.

I know our Atrix has a larger resolution (960x540) than most phones, so ADW's AB icons (the 5 icons in the dock bar) looks pretty small on screen, even though I set the size of AB icons to maximum 10. Anyone knows how to set it bigger than 10 in settings so that it would look nicer on our Atrix??? thanks in advance
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phalanx7621:
Just adjust the DPI settings in build.prop. It will make Market act a little funny with some programs not being able to be downloaded or paid for, but you can adjust everything as big or small as you want. If you need Market, just reset the settings to 240 and yer good to go. I'm sure there are other alternatives but that's what I do cause i have 99% of my programs backed up with Anttek Appmanager, which is free AND turns anything you download and install into an installable .apk for a later date. I know, smexy. Kinda like TiBu except free.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuantuti:
Wouldnt that compromise the screen resolution and would make it all blurry since i basically fatten every thing up???
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omni_angel7:
Yes, so I'd avoid that. If adw lets you use custom icons, you could always manually resize them on your computer. I use irfanview to edit custom icons that I use with launcherpro. 96x96 pixels is the average size. Try something larger.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuantuti:
unfortunately, i don't think ADW support custom icons, unless you install like a whole new theme with preinstall icon set in theme.....
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omni_angel7:
*cough* launcher pro *cough* :P
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alcapone263:
ADW does support custom icons, just hold down on the icon and then hit edit.

also, you can get an app called OldMarket that allows you to swap between the old market which allows you to download any app, despite of your LCD Density (i have mine set to 180, high resolution FTW - phone has never looked any better)

hi guys

i'm using go launcher from months... BUT i wasn't happy with my battery life so i moved to zeam launcher

results:

1% of battery in 3h 45m this morning

with go launcher i got 2% per hour in standby

i'm loving zeam launcher! ;-)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ithehappy:
Jesus..I am using Go for a month now, it doesn't drain any extra battery than TW!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] j0sh0:
i know... but try zeam launcher... it seems to be very light... more than tw and go launcher... i'm impressed... i'm still at 1% after about 4h

with go launcher and tw i got 1%/2% per hour
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] marcadam:
Zeam is a good launcher but as with most things you have to compromise. Slightly higher battery drain is a price well worth paying for all the features go delivers. That being said I see go and my battery doesn't drain at 2% per hour in standby.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] j0sh0:
well... i'll try to just change launcher and see what happen ;)

i know go launcher has more functionalities but i prefer to get more battery life instead of a more good looking theme
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Pfeffernuss:
Will have to charge at the end of the day anyway. Which ever Launcher I use. So I'd rather have a fully-functional and better looking Launcher than a stripped down one :D
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lambstone:
Does the battery usage show up in battery stats? Or are you just making a general statement.For me golauncher does not appear in battery stats.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] holgalee:
I also experience battery drain with Go Launcher and much prefer Zeam or even Launcher Pro Plus or the much maligned Touchwiz (sometimes). Don't have the numbers to compare with OP, but it's something I always notice when I used Go Launcher in the past. I always like my phone to have much juice as possible even if I can charge it at night.

:D
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Mesquire:
is the 2% per hour drain with WIFI or with 3G on?

I get a 1% drain with WIFI only after leaving the phone in standby over night (about 5 hours)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] blackspp:
Same here. It's usage is so low it doesn't even show. Go figure!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] materijalmen:
I need a quick answer about GO Launcher. In WHICH version can i find the option, to hide the TABS in the app driver?

I had on my phone 2 versions, but i deleted that one, where that option was included...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ithehappy:
I am running the latest official 2.62, it is there. If I am not mistaken this option was there on the previous versions too, like 2.6, 2.61.

Preference- App Drawer Settings- Tab Row.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] materijalmen:
Ok, will see later what version was mine...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] amazindm:
I have been using go launcher for many weeks on different ROMs. (Litening, LeoMar, Checkrom) and I loose around .5%-1% battery per hour in idle mode.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] adaaaam:
I've used many launchers, and i dont recall any of them ever showing up in battery usage, regardless of high or low usage.

But I have to admit that Go drains much faster on my GS2 than LPP ever did, but i love the cylindrical transition effect too much to uninstall.

Edit: When I refer to drain, I dont mean idle mode (almost nothing drains for me in idle mode: 0.5-2%/h is negligible). Swiping thru screens is when Go drains the most (about .75%/m, vs. LPP, which does not drain as bad even with 3d fx while swiping. It must be zimply better coded)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ghost.bhoot2k:
why u people r debating so much?? i hav used almost all da launchers available in market.

To see whether ur launcher drains battery or not,just go to settings-app-running service.....here u will find SPB shell 3D and GO launcher always runs in background and occupies almost 50 mb.whereas others like tw ,tw4.5,zeam,regina,i,adw,launcher pro plus do not occupy even a single bit

now its ur turn to decide which launcher drains battery the most
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Pfeffernuss:
Now that is some impressive coding! A launcher which does not occupy a single bit of memory. Respect!

Hi

I am currently using ClockWorkMod 5.0.2.0 on my Sensation, and have not really been following the discussions on the new recoveries from TeamWin and 4EXT.

So I am wondering; is ClockWorkMod not developed anymore?

What are the benefits of changing to a different Recovery?

Prettier GUI, ability to theme, and better user interface aren't really valid point to me. I do not spend that much time in recovery, and do not find the ClockWorkMod to be any hassle at all.

Any insights or personal experiences are appreciated.
[HTC Sensation] AlexFlexy:
CWR has everything you need to the average user - erasing partitions, zeroing the cache, creating backups and installing zip from SD. I do not see a point to go to another recovery mod.
[HTC Sensation] danilo081:
I don't see it to but ARHD developer change all of us using this rom to EXT4 so i am happy with that now :) i
[HTC Sensation] moto211:
There seems to a common confusion between the ext4 filesystem and the 4ext recovery. Although the OP incorrectly stated ext4, what is actually being discussed is 4ext.

The ext4 filesystem is used by ARHD, not the 4ext recovery. No responsible dev that I know of includes a recovery image in their ROM.

*edit* I didn't realize that ARHD does flash the recovery image. I'm not sure why the dev cares what recovery people use though.
[HTC Sensation] Hydroshock:
Well there is a recovery image included in ARHD, 4EXT.
[HTC Sensation] betelgeuse74:
Thank you for pointing out my typo, and sorry for any confusion it might have caused.

I installed 4EXT trial version, and it looks great, actually.

I'm not sure I'm going to buy it (even though it doesn't cost much)

For me, ClockWorkMod works just fine and its no problem at all to perform the tasks I need during a upgrade/new flash.

But does anyone know if CWM is still developed?

4EXT is based on CWM it says...
[HTC Sensation] ptr_hamilton:
You don't need to buy it! The recovery itself and even the recovery updater is free. The only thing you can buy is the recovery control app which allows you to do multiple recovery actions within the rom.. You can try it 3days for free! I love it :-D

hi all,

i'm from sony Ericsson area (got a X8) so i'm not really inside what's up in Samsung area and i would like to know what is the best rom for battery saving purposes, gaming, etc for the galaxy ace?

I have a friend and i want to install a custom rom on his phone, can you give me some suggestions?

Ps: another question, i can't find Galaxy Gio gt5660 in XDA and i saw already some posts of people looking for it. Does Gio have a compatible rom for it or we should wait till someone make one?

Thanks

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] qzem:
Hello!

I am an owner of Samsung Galaxy W i8150 and since there is no forum section for this phone yet, I've deceided to open a thread here. Since I'm not a developer, maybe I will become one, but my lack of time and knowlage doesnt help here.

So why I've created this thread? My goal is to find people, whou would develope some stuff for this phone, or at least help me to do it.

What this phone need is a recovery, so we need to port one, maybe CWM recovery would be the best choice. Next thing is a costum rom, preferebly CyanogenMod. I've already make a post there. So far nobody offered me any help or advice regarding that, but I'm an optimist :D.

We already have root access, that can be acchived with this tool, so this could speed things up.

I really don't know how to start porting recovery or cyanogenmod, so some advice, directions and links would really be appreciated. What I've managed to find is a kernel source code and platform soruce code, any one who is willing to help with this, can download this code HERE (it is a dropbox link, so if you can't download it just make a dropbox account).

I hope that someone who has developed some roms for andorid in past will buy this phone, will help with this project.

That's all folks ;)

Have a nice day!

Please vote HERE for a forum section for this phone on XDA! So we could speed things up :).

UPDATE!!!

Developer KezraPlanes has voulontered to port CyanogenMod 7.2.0 (Gingerbread 2.3.7) to this phone, which is a great news for Samsung Galaxy W owners. Next big thing will most probably come from well known developer arco68, he started porting(and we all hope he will continue after gettig his W back from the repair) CM 9 (Ice Cream Sandwich 4.x) on our phone. Lets show those two guys some support, moral or in "beers" :)! Good luck guys!

For happy flashing ;) of new roms that are coming to us you'll need a recovery, which you can find here, thanks to the developer raidzero! I think he would also apreciate your support :)!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arco68:
I'm probably going to buy this phone, and if I do, I will definitely try to get CM going on it. I already maintain CM for two other phones, but as they're getting old and it's doubtful that ICS will work properly on them, I need something new to work on. :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] qzem:
This is great to hear! I have this phone for a month now, and I'm very satisfied. I like it cause is fast enough, and it is not to big to carry it around in a pocket. I really hope that someone like you will buy the phone. I've installed linux on my PC just because I want it to try and port recovery, I think this is the first common step after rooting, cause we need recovery to flash custom rom. But my lack of knowlage on this area is to big for now.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] 0355:
I hope too to see development going further on this good phone.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Johev:
1st I've already voted for this nice device, thanks for the tip qzem :)

2nd I have not been able to read any good reviews of this phone yet, how is the battery life?

3) How does it feel in your hand (premium or cheap - feel free to elaborate and find a balance point view that I've not given you, hehe).

4) Could you do some benchmarking? Just to have an idea of how fast it is.

That would be my top 3 questions/request for this phone :p

Thanks for helping out.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] qzem:
1. Thanks for voting:)

2. Battery life is satisfing, with wifi on and my normal use(30-50 sms per day,few calls and internet browsing 20-40 min per day), phone usually last at least 50 hours.

3. Phone doesnt look cheap,but I eouldnt say premium either. It has nice design but it doesn't stand out the crowd.It fits very well in my hand,and it has a good grip with slightly rough back surface.

4. Now that is rooted I get in Quadrant the overall result somewhere around 1056. I can make more benchmarks and post it here if you like.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] soyoeml:
Good job! Where did you get these source codes? I sounds that the Exhibit II 4G is Galaxy W . Do you have the source codes of Exhibit II 4G ? I need root and unlock Exhibit II 4G. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] qzem:
Yes the Exhibit should have the same hardware and display, only different buttons. I've got she source code on this page. You have to Sign up first, than you can download the source code for wanted phone, if it is already up there. If you want to root your phone you should try Doomlord's tool which contains Zergrush rooting method. Link is in my first post.

Thats ia great. Two things you should implement is new frequency table so that we could try overclock it and support for interactive governor :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arco68:
Interactive is already in, along with some other stuff. Do you know what governor Samsung is using as default on the phone? From what I can see in the sources, they have set performance as the default. :eek: :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] qzem:
Hm I really don't know what profile is using Samsung as default. Hey when you'll have your kernel ready, I can test it. One thing I'm not sure, how will I flash it since there is no recovery for this phone yet.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arco68:
I'll work on that when I have the device, as I need access to it in order to retrieve partition layout and sizes.

I have swapped external SD (would be your 16 GB SD) with internal SD (the phone memory). This is done by changing /etc/vold.fstab so that your external (16 GB) SD card is mounted on /mnt/sdcard and I have mapped internal SD to be mounted as /mnt/sdcard/external_sd. I don't have the file to hand right now, but can post it later.

Hey. I am very interested in buying a galaxy W. But I am thinking over samsung galaxy W or samsung google nexus S. The nexus S is a little more expensive but it will have constant updates from android. I actually want to buy the galaxy W but. There is not even a custom rom for it in google. Will this really work? If galaxy W gets a new forum. I will certainly buy it and I could help with developing too. Even though I am kinda new... :P
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] beenoliu:
Thanks for share.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Vyker:
You've got to remember that this phone is still very very new.

I think its only been out since October, and then add a few weeks until it reaches the high street stores.

I don't expect Samsung to replace this phone any time soon, it fits in perfectly in the mid-range bracket.

There will be a forum for this phone eventually, and there will be custom ROMs created. It is only a matter of time.

What I will say is that the CPU in this thing is fantastic. There is ZERO lag with anything I do.... This sort of power is perfect for Android, anything lower, and I feel you'll struggle.

I think you would not go wrong buying this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] qzem:
Has anyone else noticed, that aplications in android are runnig services by themselves, without you actually launchig them. I've noticed this on my previosu phone, and it is still the same here. I'm usung go Launcher Ex and its task manager widget. It ahs an option to see on desktop wich apps are running, and you can stop them by simple touch. But the case is that al lot of applications just run their services back after a while (some of them in few seconds). This annoys me very much. Ok I understand that aplications wich are made to sync with something from the internet, would run from time to time, when scheduled sync or auto sync is enabled. But even applications wich don't use sync are running often. Does any one have any idea, why is this, and if it is possible to fix it by some script or something. I've been using RAM manager form Juve11 (free version), but I don't really notice anything significatly different. I'm just mad that without running any apps, my RAM is constantly taken, and i have to use task manager all the time.
