Lmfao at the 95 views. But i honestly have no answer to that. I've been wondering the same thing. Why ADW and not TW. I guess ADW is what gives it that CM7 feel. Otherwise it'd just be a reflashed stock looking CM.

is it like 4g speed or is just 3g? simple mobile offers 4g (hdspa)

should i buy the 4g (hdspa) plan?

I assume you mean HSDPA, , yes it has HSDPA, but no, HSDPA doesn't mean 4G, so no, the hd2 doesn't have 4G.

All right I'm trying to hook up my PS3 to my phones wireless tether. It connects just fine but unfortunately my Nat type is strict. I've realized that both my PlayStation and my router (wireless tether) need to be on static IPs. I have the ps3 on a set IP now I just need to figure out how to set my wireless hotspot to a sole static ip. Any ideas? Help would be greatly appreciated.

Doubt. We're still hoping for an unlocked version. 32gig at that.

I invented cyberspace. You're trespassing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SysAdmNj:
If an unlocked version does come where would you get it from and how much?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Man please just do your research. there's a handful of threads with dozens of pages on pre-orders and imports. An unlocked version is coming, we just don't know if it'll be sold directly in the US. At this point your only way to ensure you get one that works on AT&T is to import from the UK.

If you'll just read a little you'll find out that no one knows if or when this is coming to any US carrier other than Verizon. We also don't know if they'll even sell the unlocked version in the US either. You're just going to have to wait if you don't want to import.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kingston73:
Just wondering what people like about sense and any/all of the sense roms? I don't mean this to bash anybody's favorite rom and definitely not bashing any developers, I respect all the time and effort that's gone into any custom rom. I just wanted to know what I'm missing and/or if I just haven't given any enough quality time yet. Every time I've tried one it's just seemed a bit laggy and slow compared with some of the other rom's I've tried based on cm7. Again, don't start flaming me, I want to hear objective, reasonable reasons why you sense people like it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] c00ller:
The last time I used Sense was on my HTC Hero before I tried CyanogenMod. What I think Sense does right is it provides a UI and functionality where everything just works the way you would expect them to, without needing additional tweaking or apps. For example, there is no denying that the HTC dialer is infinitely superior to the AOSP dialer. I find it incredibly ironic that a glorious top-of-the-line smart phone cannot do something like smart (T9) dialing of contacts, something every single dumbphone can do. Also, since the beginning of Sense, the mail, phone, and text messaging icons automatically display an unread count badge on them, which I think everyone can appreciate. If you want that in AOSP you have to install separate widgets (like SMS Unread Count) or different home launchers that pretty much only enthusiasts would look for. HTC Sense also gives power controls and other shortcuts in the notification pull-down whereas stock AOSP does not (unless you're using CyanogenMod, which again, is only for enthusiasts). Also, I imagine that people also like the overall refined look (clean, dual-tone textures) that Sense provides over AOSP's rather plain and basic look. Just my two cents.
[G2 and Desire Z General] d_gkal:
i hate sense but i can't live without it
[G2 and Desire Z General] bradley_e_smith:
For me it is all about lack of lag and uptime, plus a rotating rosie that works great - so i'm back on Virtuous 1.0.2
[G2 and Desire Z General] Z!GZA!G:
Sense 2.1???????
[G2 and Desire Z General] nouch02:
Like sense 2.1.. Coz its smooth ui then android platform ui..
[G2 and Desire Z General] bradley_e_smith:
Yes, 2.1 running froyo
[G2 and Desire Z General] skinnyveganboy:
The ONLY thing i miss about Sense is the zoom function of most included camcorder apk's. Not sure if it's something that can ONLY be achieved with sense but I've never seen it on non sense roms.
[G2 and Desire Z General] oVeRdOsE.:
- Calender

- Clock app ( alarm, timer, stop watch) all in one

- contextual menus

I dont use sense launcher, I more like launcher pro.

unity 2.37
[G2 and Desire Z General] Thijs_W:
I just love Sense, tried other ROM's but couldn't get used to the UI which was a bit boring. Of course you can modify it all yourself, but I like the ready-to-go package Sense provides me. Now running Virtuous Affinity and Sense 3.5 looks great!
[G2 and Desire Z General] kingston73:
I wonder if it's what you get used to, in other words I wonder if I gave it more time and forced myself to use it for an extended period I'd get to like it more?
[G2 and Desire Z General] mputtr:
Sense is great for its integration with the ROM. in other words, if you prefer to have a GUI and sense's style happens to click with you, then it's awesome.

ofcourse. the dialer is best.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ArmedandDangerous:
One thing I really really like about Sense : Internet passthrough. This needs to be in every ROM IMHO...
[G2 and Desire Z General] mputtr:
i thought it is in every custom rom out there?? or atleast most of them...
[G2 and Desire Z General] ArmedandDangerous:
Internet passthrough =/= tethering. Internet passthrough is when you plug your phone through the USB to your PC and uses your PC's connection. Tethering is using your phone's data FOR the PC.
[G2 and Desire Z General] CCpotter:
Yeah, the same to me. i like sense because it seems so cool and there are so many functions that i have never imagined before. So i think sense 3.5 and other coming sense will be greater
[G2 and Desire Z General] mputtr:
I know the difference between both. I could've sworn the older roms that I use for the DZ offered internet passthrough as well. I wasn't referring to tethering.
[G2 and Desire Z General] noneabove:
when it WORKS (as in doesn't encounter force closing) it is one of the smoothest and most intuitive interface's i've ever seen. I'll admit, it has problems and is still in need of work, it does take some CPU and RAM away from other things but over-all it is a beautiful UI and one of the most interesting and beautiful UIs of all of the custom ones out there. Now, with that said, I don't mean to say that the other's aren't nice.. however other companies just haven't gone as far into making a different and flowing interface
[G2 and Desire Z General] gteye:
I like the look of sense but I just can't get past the lag.

I tried the two versions of 3.5 out there recently and they were so slow they were basically unusable. I tried with swap and enabled and without and overclocked up to almost 1500 and it still was so slow.

(used superwipe, etc before/between flashes)

2.1 ran a bit quicker but I still found it laggy and there were always odd things that did not work for me.

What was ironic is there was no "problems" at all with the 3.5 that i ran across as far as bugs, reboots, etc , it was just slow.

If one could even approach the speed of stock or cyanogen I would gladly use it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] darklordray:
It all about the widgets (Email especially ) that HTC provides on the sense I like.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ArmedandDangerous:
Nope, as far as I know there aren't any ROMS that provide internet passthrough (of the ROMS I've tried).
[G2 and Desire Z General] kingston73:
i tried to give it a chance today but market kept crashing and finally started telling me there was an error every time i tried to download anything, so im back on mexdroid. Maybe ill give it another go tomorrow.
[G2 and Desire Z General] hywelmartin:
On CM 7.1 there is USB-thetering

i'm using it right now
[G2 and Desire Z General] skinnyveganboy:
After reading the OP's thread I decided to switch from my bulletproof MIUI to the Virtuos sense 3.5 ROM w/swap (128mb/256mb) for a day. Results are in. I can't believe how LAGGY it is... I tried everything I knew to speed it up. It wouldn't have it. Even at 1.8ghz it was very slow to respond. just clicking gmail from the home screen would take 5 or more seconds sometimes. opening the browser... 10 seconds maybe....

I will continue to use sense for one more day and see if i still can't stand it. My guess, I'll be back to MIUI by the end of tonight.

Can anyone suggest a FAST sense rom?

EDIT: mputtr recommended virtous's sense 2.0 and I really couldn't be happier. At 806MHz it runs almost as well as mexdroid at the same speed. I only just tested this ROM out for a couple hours so far but am pleased to say this could become my daily driver.

Link: http://www.virtuousrom.com/p/sense.html
[G2 and Desire Z General] mputtr:
sense 3.5 was never meant for the DZ because of the low ram.

if you want to see sense at a much better level, try Virtuous Sense 2.0.
[G2 and Desire Z General] noneabove:
Read above, they aren't talking about USB Tethering, that is different, Sense has the option to use the WiFi or LAN connection that your laptop/computer is on for your phone by plugging it in through USB.

That is VERY odd as I am currently running affinity and the speed is fantastic! Did you do a full full wipe (including superwipe) and did you change your partitions to Ext-4?

Granted if you're happy with the virtuous sense 2.0 ROM then by all means stick with it cause it WILL be faster than any 3.5 ROM, but if you're willing to give it another chance I say make sure you do the wiping right because that is a large contributor (especially ext4)
[G2 and Desire Z General] dravenkill:
does changing to Ext-4 is necessary? why the virtuous guy haven't mention about it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] noneabove:
No it's not necessary, in fact some ROMs will do the conversion themselves, but it does speed it up. Also just for the record even if the ROM converts to Ext-4, if you ever wipe cache or anything else inside of CWM you will convert back to Ext-4. So, after you do the Swap with CWM, install 4EXT recovery again
[G2 and Desire Z General] skinnyveganboy:
Im pretty sure i was using ext3 not 4. So i will try again. I was using a swap. Does my phone need to be formated to ext4 or only the swap on the sdcard?

Sent from my 8-track player using Tardis.
[G2 and Desire Z General] noneabove:
The swap does it's own thing, I'm not actually sure what format it is, but what you do is get 4EXT recovery, make sure you do a nandroid, go to the EXT3 - 4EXT - EXT4 menu, then go wipe EXT4 (i think it's the second option... not the one that has convert) then wipe all data (first option) and then format system, format data, format cache, format sd-ext, make sure you wipe dalvik also (through advanced i believe). Then install the ROM. Boot, through ROM Manager flash CWM. Go into CWM and then wipe dalvik cache and regular cache, make the partition like in the guide, wipe dalvik cache and regular cache. Follow the guide from there on out, then after done, install 4EXT again, go into it, and format your cache to be EXT4 again and I think sd-ext will also need re-conversion. Then copy all your stuff back to your SD Card and you should be good to go :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] slovoflud:
wow, are you a museum guide by chance? :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] noneabove:
I'm not entirely sure if I should take that as a compliment or an insult XD by which I of course mean I'm not sure if you're saying thanks or saying I'm being cryptic :P
[G2 and Desire Z General] skinnyveganboy:
I just installed 4EXT recovery as you suggested and checked all my parts. All but the SD-EXT are in EXT4 the SD-EXT is in EXT3 and my sd card is fat32. is this the correct config for sense 3.5? or should the SD-EXT be EXT4?

It also informed me that my partitions "were not aligned" whatever that means. I think I'll backup and re part my sd.

Update: I just part'd my sdcard with 128mb sd-ext, 128mb sd-ext2, 256mb swap with the ext's in ext4.

Now they're all aligned and in ext4.

Are 128 and 256 big enough?
[G2 and Desire Z General] noneabove:
yup that's plenty, considering the Desire Z has 512 to start with :) you'll be getting 50% more :) and ext4 is the proper one yes. SD Card should be fat32 for the record :P Let me know how it goes!
[G2 and Desire Z General] skinnyveganboy:
flashed and rebooting now.

Do I have to enable the sdext with that .sh script? or will affinity use it by itself?
[G2 and Desire Z General] noneabove:
no you have to enable it through Terminal Emulator or ADB (I used terminal emulator and it worked fine) If it doesn't work try wiping cache and dalvik cache and doing the partition again. Again if you do that you will have to go back (later, no rush) and reformat to ext-4 to get the full speed.
[G2 and Desire Z General] skinnyveganboy:
I'm trying xT4Z1N4TRx's script at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1323447

But he uses CWMR, can you point me in the right direction to use this with 4ext? everytime i try to run this it says:

Some tests.

swapon: /dev/block/vold/179:67: Invalid argument

Something wrong. Contact autor of this script

I think you're right in your above post about having to re flash CWM to get this working. Yes, that makes way more sense.. I'll post when i get this working.

Here's to fast (current) sense.
[G2 and Desire Z General] noneabove:
Yea yea you have to use CWM in order to do that. You flash ROM, run ROM Manager to flash CWM, do the partitions, then after you've settled in run 4ext to convert the partitions back :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] skinnyveganboy:
ok, now I've finished all the steps from your guide. all are now ext4 and i'm booting....

RESULTS:

quadrant 844mhz 1471

quadrant 1.5ghz 2062

very pleased. (as far as 3.5 sense goes. I still like getting 1800 quadrant scores at 800mhz with MIUI but this will do. ty.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mputtr:
careful on swap though. You're trading your MicroSD card's lifespan for faster speeds.

if it's a cheap ol 8gb card or something, then go for it, but I preferbly would not want to break my 32gb card faster than I have to.
[G2 and Desire Z General] noneabove:
No problem! Glad I could be of service :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] skinnyveganboy:
it is, it's just the one that came with my phone. I never really store any large media on my SD, maybe I'll get a 2gb or 4gb card just for this reason.
[G2 and Desire Z General] noneabove:
Well there's never any reason to downgrade.. unless of course you want to get a higher class card and don't want to spend much money in which case I guess my first statement is false :P
[G2 and Desire Z General] mputtr:
I agree. If you're doing anything, you might as well upgrade.

But I also assume that you use the micro sd card for other stuff like storing pictures and other stuff so that's why I said to be careful about swap.

It is also the reason I refuse to use Sense 3.5. I believe Sense 2.1 is already amazing so I feel no need to upgrade to 3.5 if I have to sacrifice my microSD cards.
[G2 and Desire Z General] skinnyveganboy:
but in all honesty how much are we shortening our sdcard's lifespan? It's not like I'm making it smoke cigarettes....
[G2 and Desire Z General] mputtr:
beats me, but I did read quite a few people complaining that their cards died on them a little sooner than expected.

This is because you're probably doubling the amount of back and forth the card is usually doing especially when you're using it as extra ram. All I can say is be careful about it. Swap works great, but it also comes at a cost. keep that in mind and you should not run into anything unexpected.
[G2 and Desire Z General] noneabove:
On the other hand though the way this does it makes it so that IF you lost your SD Card due to RAM use, I'm pretty sure you actually just lose that 400~ Mb partition and the rest will stay fine, the corruption won't spread. I could be wrong and that could have been referring to something else though.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mputtr:
that, i have no idea about. as far as my experience goes with SD card corruption is that if a certain % of the card dies, the whole card gets written off as dead. It doesn't register as having less space. I know that with my R4 and my older SD card, when it got corrupted (all the folders turned chinese with unreadable files all over it) formatting it did nothing and simply just made it unuseable.

But! This is based off my experience alone. I don't know how today's card will react with a certain amount of corruption on it, but atleast with older microsd cards from 2006ish has done that.
[G2 and Desire Z General] lms24:
I know sense needs a lot (!) of memory but I just love its features. At the moment I have Viruous Affinity and I simply love the Sense 3.5 UI. The only thing which would make it perfect would be a fully working quicklaunch widget (from Bliss).
[G2 and Desire Z General] noneabove:
You could probably take that from the Bliss zip and install it on the Affinity ROM :) (assuming I understood correct, its a widget right?)
[G2 and Desire Z General] costipl:
The impact is not that big. Besides, even if you use some cells write capacity, they will not die, just become read-only.

On the other hand, my friend has one of the earliest Intel SSD drives (40GB) with over 2TB of host writes and the drive is perfectly fine, so I think it's not a problem (even if SD cards are less durable, realistically speaking how much can we write on that card during it's life?).

Not exactly sure how I missed this, but I was looking for one of my 613 songs and all of a sudden I saw it was not in the player, neither are 90 other WMA's. (I am using Mix Zing, but it doesn't matter, none of them show any WMA files). I've got to assume it has something to do with where CM7 puts files, maybe? I've been on CM7 for about 2-3 weeks, so it is entirely possible that is when it first happened. Has anybody else experienced this, and know of a fix? TIA...

Hi i had a similar problem a few months back but was not as bad as yours, mine dropped calls and i kept getting the missed call messages and voicemai and when i checked the signal it showed no bars where i had full signal just a few seconds earlier sometimes i would have to wait up to a minute for my signal to return to full and other times i would catch it pulling a full signal on me and doing the same, as i say its not exactly the same as your problem but after plenty of messing around i wiped my sd card did a full wipe and reflashed my backup i did when the phone was stock and the problem was gone. i then full wiped and flashed Coredroid again and all was good. Might not be any help to you but good luck mate i hope you get it sorted without it having to cost you any pennies:)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cL0uD`:
Hope so, kinda hard to find out what's the problem, so i'll w8 till coredroid releases next build and then perform the cleanest install, will wipe and delete everything from everywhere, get latest clockan's kernel, newest rom, latest radio with matching ril, won't even use oc or cpu at first, we'll see wether it will be fixed, if it is, probably that was undervoltage, or some rom bug as i'm still on 7.5 or kernel..

Can't say for sure yet, only the 2nd day of testing, but still no drops mentioned.

I had the only guessing about undervoltage script, so i decided to give it a try and to restore original voltage settings, 2nd day - no drops, tried 5-6 calls with those ppl i used to have drops with, even talks for 25-30 mins

I think i will be able to approve it after a week of testing, but atm it's fine, we'll see final results later, but if it approves, then the PUV script from clockan's kernel (DeSense Rom thread) should not be used cause it leads to bugs and also if i really fix the problem with this first try, i'm a freaking Dr.House of mobile phones )))
