[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andernerd:
hello everyone.

i just updated to the teamhero nov3 rom and i added a custom bootanimation but for the life of me i cant seem to figure out how to add a custom bootsound ive tried just downloading a bootanimation /w sound but with i go to flash it i get aborted the installation ive tried the bootsound.sh method as well and still came up with no sound on boot..

does anyone have another way to add a bootsound?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rubyknight:
There isn't one as far as I know.. Other people have tried in the past without a lot of luck. 2.1 Sense Roms can use sound but with custom roms based off of other phones or source code it isn't supported.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
there is most definitely a way to get bootsound on aosp based heroc ROMs, I used to do it all the time. I still have the .sh file it needs to work :) lol dropbox ftw. All you need to do if I recall, is place a file called "android_audio.mp3" in system/media with the bootanim, less than 20second mp3 is fine. Then put the .sh file on your sd base. Then open terminal emulator, then type:

su
cd /sdcard
sh bootsnd.sh
reboot

you won't get an output confirmation in the emulator whether it worked or not, DO NOT RETYPE ANY OF THIS IN TE, TYPE IT ONLY ONCE, OR YOU WILL DIE lol.

File here:

You're welcome :D

EDIT: just reread the OP and it said you tried the .sh, but hell, try mine, maybe it's more awesome? It *should* work. PM me if you need more help.

Guys i want your opinion can someone please tell me if is it worth to

unlock bootloader or not at the moment ???

and is there ROMs that is better then stock ROM in smoothness and responsiveness

plus it would give more options and having less battery drain then Stock ROM ???
[General Questions and Answers] malickie:
Ok so here is the question. I have a choice of those 3 and I am not certain which way to go. I am looking for suggestions that you all have from using the devices and I will provide some sort of criteria so you can give me a better idea.

1. A UI that is intuitive and not a royal pain in the rear to deal with.

2. Seeing as I tend to like to take photo's and watch Movies I would like a device that has a wide range of files it can play but also has a Very good screen and doesn't suffer from banding of lines through the screen and also has good viewability while out doors.

3. Takes good photos and video.

4. I don't care if I have LTE or not considering I am on a 200MB data plan and ALWAYS turn off data unless I Need it when I am out and even than I look for Wi-Fi first.

5. I would Like FM Radio but not a Deal Breaker just like I would Like NFC but again not a deal breaker.

6. Has good Volume when listening through headphones. Don't care so much about external speaker.

7. Has good record at keeping up with Google OS Updates as in ICS and such

Also for those who will say Wait for a different device to come out, that is not an option considering I am running out of time to make a decision within the 30 day return window. I think I have like 8 days left.

Anyway I await information about what you all think and thanks in advance to all who do answer.

None of the above. Import a Galaxy Note instead, it bests all 3 of those. 5.3" AMOLED 1280x800 resolution with a 1.4 GHz Exynos chip.

The SkyRocket is basically the SGS2 with a larger screen. I would choose either of the Samsungs before I would an HTC. I don't much care for the low-quality HTC brand.

[General Questions and Answers] N8ter:
The vivid is plastic too, so HTC has no advantages there IRT build quality.
[General Questions and Answers] RootTheNoob:
HTC phones have a much sturdier build quality than any other phone manufacturer I know.
[General Questions and Answers] malickie:
OK so a little confused by the galaxy note. Looks like it is released in the UK so I can't get it as I am on att network in the US so I am limited to phones that are available there.
[General Questions and Answers] Dirk:
I hate to say it but if i were buying now it would be a Samsung. I don't like plasticky phones, but i do like phones that have quality components, i.e Power buttons that don't die every few months of use, speakers that you can actually hear, or digitizers that don't start registering touches across the screen from where you actually touch it.

Have HTC released a phone yet with a camera that's on par with the ones found in other manufacturers devices, or one that doesn't run through an entire battery in under 4 hours of use? Do thay release devices with beautiful SAMOLED + screens?
[General Questions and Answers] vatanatips:
which one would you prefer？pick up you prefer one
[General Questions and Answers] slimslim:
Made my choice, out of the 3 I went with the vivid. The build quality is there, fills solid in hand. The battery life is decent (1620 mah) and the screen is much sharper than the skyrocket's. Not everyone likes the oversaturated samoleds, and I didn't want to end up with a wvga screen (stretched to 4.5" looks really bad in my opinion) especially now, when all new highend devices of 2012 will have high resolution.
[General Questions and Answers] joeyzadoe:

[General Questions and Answers] dizzyraider:
I was at the At&t store checking out the Galaxy S2, S2 Skyrocket, and the HTC Vivid. I can see why there are many who are fans of the Galaxy S2 phones. The Galaxy S2 is skinny, light in weight, vibrant screen, and has a large battery. However I ultimately believed the Vivid is a better phone for what I was looking for. I found GS2 phones feeling a bit cheap on the outer casing. The plastic felt too thin all the way around and didn't feel very solid. The color on the screen looks very very impressive but often feels unnatural and over saturated (like putting contrast on your TV all the way up). Particularly on the Skyrocket, the WVGA resolution feels very inadequate for screens 4.5 inches and above. You literally can see pixels as they look over stretched on 4.5 and qHD just do a much better job at that size. What really pushed me to the Vivid was that Sense just feel and functions much better to me than Samsung's TouchWiz to an otherwize an impressive hardware.

But either way, both phones will accomplish (pretty much) any task just the same ;)

Edit: looks like you made your pick, good choice :)

I would leave AT&T! they get crappy android phones. I left AT&T for T-Mobile and got the HTC Sensation 4G and love it, and my bill is half the price of AT&T's now :)
[General Questions and Answers] N8ter:
The vivid does 1080p at 60fps. That's reason enough for some people to get it. I'm Considering dropping tmobile for AT&T just for that camcorder on that phone.
[General Questions and Answers] nohcho:
Ok vivid records 1080p in a ****y 3gp with a very low bit rate. It looks terrible.
[General Questions and Answers] MartyLK:
That doesn't mean quality, it just means technicality. HTC generally has lower quality cameras, the T-Mobile MyTouch 4G Slide being an exception. But combined with the generally lower quality build construction of HTC phones, an alternative would be desired.
[General Questions and Answers] N8ter:
I don't need it to look incredible. I just need it to look "decent" at 60fps which it does cause I've tried it in the store and emailed a sample to myself to side load onto my pc That is more important than raw quality for makeshift video analysis. There are twice a many freeze points in the video as the average smartphone camera. That's what makes its camera great. Quality isn't always most important. Right now I use a minidv at VGA resolution for that because it does 60fps. Which do you think is better. That or the vivid?

I rest my case.

Don't assume your priorities are everyone else's.

I'd be able to carry one less bulky device, too :)

[HTC Sensation] bobsie41:
Is anybody here party to any reliable information regarding an official sense 3.5 ota?

I find 3.5 a nice improvment on 3.0 and would love to get it officially with the minor bugs ironed out that are present in the leaked test release.

Do we think (or know) that this will happen or will we have to wait for a further iteration of sense (4.0?) before we get any official updates.

I get the impression that the dev's are a little quiet at the moment so perhaps some people know things that the rest of us are not party to?? ;)
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
There's talk that as ICS is out early next year HTC won't bother with officially releasing the leaked ROM. However, we may still get Sense 3.5 as there's nothing to suggest we'll get Sense 4.0 when ICS is released

i think that sense 3.5 comes with ICS

they just devepoped a new sense and they are not going to use it?

well seems not really understandable to me so i would guess

ICS 4.0 with HTC sense 3.5

otherwise it would be (again) a sense 3.0 (or 3.5) based UI with only slight changes and nothing big to show

The fact is that in my opinion htc could't leave One or its top devices with an older software than other devices like htc rhyme or sensation xl
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
6 months of using a rock solid stable rom xxkb3 (stock), I had only 1 issue that I needed Gb update that is few new apps only work on GB such as equalizer a great app for music but that too is buggy on GB, it produces tik tak tuk (static sound) on an ideal phone.

I finally updated to xxkpm based custom rom with all those fancy stuff now I observe that the phone is lagging in camera/ phonebook, messeging etc, battery backup is almost same as froyo many version of GB are having problem with following.

high battery drain

WIFI connection drops

In sleep mode, data connection stops working

push mail notification does not work

gtalk/skype video chat does not work

car bluetooth connection drop (phonebook download issue)

I wonder what was this whole GB noise all about, to me version number are just numbers & they don't necessarily mean better stable rom than Froyo.

So I am wondering whats the gain in updating to GB accept that you get a new FW which is still buggy in many areas.

Namaless specifically mentioned that GB is buggy & ditched the development on gb & based his custom rom on xxkb3.

Those who are with GB & prefer GB various version can you tell me what is better in GB that is making you use GB for your daily use? please list features which you think was not available in froyo on i9003
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] malungkot:
You can see the different here..

http://www.differencebetween.com/difference-between-android-2-2-froyo-and-android-2-3-gingerbread/
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
Ya...you are right. But it depends on ur preferanace. I dont need wifi, gmail sync (i do it manually), vdo chat. I just use themes, 2g net, lots of fun apps, latest mods like 10 lockscreens, 14 toggles, kernal related mods. This is our normal user view.

But if u ask any developer especially kernal developers then they will definitely 1st go for gb because source codes are more simpler & gives developer more modification in kernal & whole rom. The problems which u have mentione can be solved in cm7. Regarding vdo calling I have hopes from doomlord. He has kernal & device driver's knowledge.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] falex007:
1. I had problem with WiFi (not as others have), but it was solved with help of copying WiFi settings from Froyo. Now it works well for me

2. Battery drain is the same for me now (Before I was using OsmanFansRom v1.2.1, now CianogenMod7). Look at the image (I used it very small today). As you can see it uses battery with the same speed as on Froyo. Draining depends of usage). When I listen music all time through bluetooth it can work only 12 hours. but it's good for mp3 players, isn't it?

3. Never use this (I don't need email at my phone, I always near PCs), And never checked it :)

4. I use skype very seldom (and only for chatting). BTW in Froyo Video doesn't work too

5. I'm using stereo bleotooth all day long (listening music, speaking and so on). I never had problem with it. I don't know may be car's bluetooth is different, but I don't think so.

Pluses I received from CM7: It's very customizable, It's very easy to apply themes, it's very good looking for me, and I like to use it even now (when it's beta). I like effects OldTV, showing messages in the top bar, unlock effects, and so on.

here is original screenshot
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Unkalo:
My reason (apart from the stability), is videocalls. I needs videocalls every day, and this I can only get in Froyo. I only can do videocalls using Tango, and only in Froyo. The other aps (Fring, Oovoo and Skype) in Froyo, and all the apps (includind Tango) in ginger doesn't work. The issue is the same, flickering with the front camera, FC doesn't work well.

I would use ginger because it is more customizable and has things like CRT effect, but I need videocalls, and that only I can do it in froyo and with tango ....
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:

GB is better!!!!

Ya man u r right froyo was stable....gingerbread is also stable for normal use....:cool:

I felt the following changes-

Speed(u have to agree its fast and smooth)..

More customizable...new and better rom's from developers

Its neat...less lag...better quadrant....more games support..etc
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
Sure ancient but at least stable for daily use (XXKB3)

Probably YES since phone to me is a tool to be used for my daily work, life, enjoyment, education etc, The last phone I used was 6 years old moto works like a charm even now, I am not those kinds who are after the latest & greatest & most fashionable phones no matter what the specs may be.

Prime importance for me is, can the phone make me more productive in day to day work/ life, if yes then I will go for it.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
Stable with all those bugs are you serious? Last 6 months I am hearing about GB yet the bugs have not been rooted out.

In day to day use I havent found any speed difference may be bcoz I was already using a very good stable rom XXKB3

Yes sure but thats where the whole lot of mess is happening, just posted a review of a great rom with some great graphics, you may want to read this review.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=19371407#post19371407

Yes due to many new mods its less laggy, but I experienced the same lag in one of the custom rom I tried, now I have changed to another one & will see if it really is a power horse or lags exactly the same way.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kamilien:
So you are saying, "many GB update released and they all crap". That's against the logic why we need updates? Why softwares need updates? Why updates are needed?

First of all stability isn't everthing for hardwares but for sure it's a very important thing. Updates can provide many abilities to hardwares which previous versions can't do. Updates are for to improve performance, efficiency, stability, ergonomics, friendliness. However this doesn't happen as expected and create new problems. And it continues to the time a better solution is arrived.

As for me. I'm using XXKPN.

I can't even use GPS in froyo - Works perfectly now.

I charged my phone everyday - Charging in 2-3 day period.

Lags, self reboots - No lag, no reboot.

Touch sensivity is not bad - After using KPN I say it's perfect.

It takes hours to load phonebook - Loads very very faster now.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
No I don't mean that GB is crap, but its still far from being bug free for daily (heavy) usage of various features. Wifi connection dropping is the latest thing which is bugging users. I have faced a bluetooth bug with 2 custom roms they don't work well with car bluetooth & hang at phonebook download but never finishes it thus the music streaming interrupts after 15 sec.

Since I have only used xxkpm whereas xxkpn was released after that may be it sorts out many bugs which I am facing.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] manrock111:
The biggest reason for my upgrade is HD playback. This single reason is enough for me.

I think overall Gb is good, I also never have WiFi problem.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
Hd video shot with the camera always played smooth in froyo. Hd encoded with certain codec had problems for which I used mobo player.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kamilien:
I updated XXKPN from XXKPE. I heard that many user faced with wifi and 3g issues but I didn't. I don't really know why but small differences on variables can cause various effects on usage. Anyway, it's sensible to use latest software.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] manrock111:
But it will not play smooth or through hardware decoding. Now I just download 720 movie and enjoy directly without thinking for converting.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jamsori:
Why did i update?

- Froyo crashes every 2-3 days for me. Gingerbread works perfectly.

- Better battery in Gingerbread

- Feels 'smoother' than Froyo

- .flv files actually play :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jj20:

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] falex007:
Hi.

Are you sure you have the same problem as I had? :) No one before had this problem on this forum.

in the attach my fix to copy settings files. You have to apply this file in the CWM (before applying be sure you have mounted /system partition).

Edit: here is description of my problem. BTW I don't have this problem with ICS ROMs (CM9 or MIUI4)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jj20:

cuz no one else have my problem ! just like u

I apply it &

it works well

=================

[Galaxy S I9000 General] haloimplant:
Actually you can usually enter download or recovery mode while the phone is looping without even touching power button. The power button part of the sequence is just to turn on the phone. Just hold home and vol up/down and the phone will enter recovery/download the next time it reboots. I have only had to pull the battery once it was when something goofed in download mode.
