[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Is Set DNS different than manually setting it under the wifi advanced settings? I have set mine manually to Google DNS and so far it's working better, but will take some time to see if it lasts. I'll update either way.

Thanks for the tip.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Update:

Setting DNS to Google DNS didn't solve the problem. Still getting very long pause on initial internet access after sitting idle for 15 minutes or so. Toggling wifi off/on does fix it, but that should not be necessary.

Is this common or rare? Really would like to know if it's a known phone bug, or my specific phone/router/ISP.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Based on so few responses I concluded it must be something in my setup. Ended up changing both the phone and my router's DNS to Google (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4), which appears to have solved the problem. Oddly setting just the phone's DNS didn't fix it, it took changing the router as well. Also, it's not clear to me why toggling the wifi on the phone resolved the pause issue temporarily each time if the DNS server being used was the issue. But, if it's fixed I'll take it.

Thanks for the advice that did end up leading to a solution.

Hey devz this is all about an interbreeding ...

I mean to interbreed the eyecandy miui and cm7/9 powerhouses into a rom..

Moderator, i post it here to get the max attention of devs. But if you wish you may change it to correct thread.. coz this is a doubt and an idea..

So here are my doubts..

1) can we mix up the theme engine of miui to a cm rom? So that we can have the eycandy in cm. I know cm7 have a good theme engine. But dont u think is it as good as miui's?

2) the file manager of miui to cm.

4) the openness of cm to accept scripts and tweaks and the ui of miui?

5) the popup, notification, neetness of miui to cm?

I am asking becoz i am a great fan of cm and recently i got hd2 so i tried miui. Though i feel like heaven in miui' s ui and classy look and features like the amazing theme engine, launcher, font, boot anim customizations, i still love the tweakability of cm. And the perfomance boost and speed...

Man hop to use a kid of both of them. He will be a superkid.

Any idea? Problems?

And if you are going to say " no lol, never" pls do it with reasons..

I am a newbee of devz.. and got both breeds in hand. Going to take both to kitchen. I need your support.

Hope u all will help.

Thankz

I think MIUI features haven't been included in CM7 roms is the same reason why Sense Roms haven't got it, to my knownledge, MIUI rom's framework have unique customizations made to them that when you try to port them to another rom it won't just work, and reverse engineering them is just too much work.

hi showlyshah, i have seen the op. actually i'm a moder and a chef not a really dev , but in this topic I think .... well, i thought that's possible and impossible, both of them. sorry for say that but I thought that maybe need get all of cm7 and miui source code first to pull out the theme engine of miui and re-coding it to suited the cm7's system function , and then re-compile it put it into cm7 and do some debug to make sure this function working well. so I think this should be possible but that's too cumbersome so become impossible.

that is my opinion and guess so if someone known this pls tell me.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] showlyshah:
I hve send pms to miui rom developers. So i hope they can help. As i am a cm7 fan. I am only familiar with cm7, and a newbee to miui, i am not that much sound in miui. So miui devs has to help us.

Pls devz let us know how miui theme engine works. Does it totaly depends on framework.res or some library's too?

[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Hi all,

recently I have converted my device to full Stock and S-ON and I am pretty satisfied running it on a daily basis. I have installed an app from the Market called "Partitions Info Lite" in order to observe the progress of filling up the cache partition to avoid the related bootloop problem. The cache itself is fine, but I have noticed that the devlog partition is filling up also and pretty fast. Right now I have 11 MB filled of 19 MB available.

So my question is what will happen when it runs out of space?

I have made some Google-ing, but was not able to find something relevant.

Thanks in advance :-)
[HTC Desire S] zeekiz:
I get the feeling it will never completely fill up, but I'm assuming the partition is used for logging what the device is doing, possibly for the service centres to pin-point where the device fails, and when crashes occur.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Yep, I know that it stores HTC logging data and I hope that it will stop or clean itself at a certain point.

But now it is 13 MB already (6 MB left) and when it gets critical I will probably root the phone and clean it, because I am not fan of the "let's wait and see" strategy :)
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Short update. It filled up to 15MB then went back to 14 MB and stays there for the last couple of days. So I suppose that it is not something that I should worry about :)
[HTC Desire S] zeekiz:
Good work on following this through, I'm now guessing it must have either a time or memory based threshold.

Now the only thing that interests me is what the information is that its storing and if there is some more personal information whether there is adequate encryption in place. (HTC Loggers/ CarrierIQ)

guys i have little problem on my lg optimus 3d when someone send me a message not ring any tone .. i have select the different tone but nothing happen and my phone is not on silent other tone work prefect but message tone is not working any solution please
[LG Optimus 3D] Tactics119:
Try downloading a free ringtone maker from the android market (some do tones as well) and see if that works.
[LG Optimus 3D] wencel:
how did you setup the sms tone?

go to messages (eg from homescreen by clicking the message icon), press the context key, select settings, and scroll down to "Select ringtone".

also check the sound/volume settings:

main menu > sound > volume > uncheck the option "use incomming call volume for notifications" if its active, and than you'll see another bar for Notification. select the maximum and press OK. try to send an sms to yourself and see if you'll get the tone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Farlander:
Can a kernel be flashed without a rom and vice versa?

Does it erase all saved data to flash a kernel? A rom?

The designations KD1, KB5, KJ6, wtf do these represent?

What is firmware version 2.2.1? Does this dictate what kernels/roms will work?

My phone came stock with

Baseband version: T959VUVKD1

after an unsuccessful root, it now it has

Baseband version: T959VUVKB5

What's the difference? Is my new one better?

My kernel is now 2.6.32.9

Wasn't stock kernel 2.2.1?

Why bother switching kernels/Roms in the first place? It seems like it's just a big headache. Launcher apps seem to provide more customization then alternate Roms. What gives?

Thanks in advance, this may seem noob but I find it hard just finding BASIC information sometimes.

I've spent a LOT of time dicking around with this new phone (my first smartphone) and I love the fact that it is customizable it but it takes up too much time to have to read up on everything, flash, then re load all my icons, screw that. I just want to know what is the best, fastest, simplest, most customizable rom/kernel combo up front, or I'm going back to stock, I have to believe that they designed the stock OS around the phone to maximize effectiveness.

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] vgcraze:
Alot of questions but I'll attempt to answer them. Disclaimer though, I havent been on these forums for that long so my answers may not be correct and I wont be held responsible for incorrect info. :p

Yes a kernel can be flashed without a rom, but roms come with kernels already on them. When flashing a kernel, data on you're device is kept, but not vice versa.

They are versions. They are labeled in alphanumeric order. Example, KB5 is the oldest of the three, KD1 is newer, and KJ6 is the newest (and the newest kernel at the moment for this phone as well).

2.2.x are Froyo (Frozen Yogurt) versions. 2.3.x are Gingerbread versionss with the Gingerbread bootloaders that are needed to flash most roms on here with Clockwork Mod (CWM).

General Android Knowledge:

Cupcake < Donut < Eclair < Froyo < Gingerbread (GB) < Honeycomb < Icecream Sandwich (ICS)

Well "better" is relative, but it is indeed older. Also, try using the new SuperOneClick to root next time if you haven't.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682

I'm noob so idk how to answer this.

Custom ROMs can add features, take away bloatware (relatively useless programs that come preloaded with the phone), and provide functional inprovements (such as KJ6's better WiFi reception.

You may just want to just follow this guide for now:

[YOUTUBE]iyKYUlnpYqI[/YOUTUBE]

Then after which, use SuperOneClick (SOC) to root

After you get yourself situated here, then move on to bigger and better roms such as RaverX3X's Octane:

or Somairotevoli's 2.3.6 Debloated SimplySimple:

Be sure to always follow the OP's Instructions to the T. For example, when wiping or mounting.

And UMMU mounts means in CWM under mounts set them to:

Hope this helped

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Farlander:
Kudos to you both I hope other noobs find this info as well. I think I'll flash KJ6 deodexed (faster/cleaner/more customizable right?) rooted. I don't really see the need for CWM or Titanium unless there's a ton of bloatware to remove, or I want to go crazy flashing ROMS - from what I gather, with CWM you can modify the recovery mode so that new roms can be installed right from the phone?

I have really looking for some specific key features that would improve my experience, such as a customizable destination folder for camera pics, i.e. SD card, not internal memory, a good all-time gestures program, wifi file sharing w/ pc, some cool widgets and animations, and a major reduction in the spyware content and background data of the phone, specifically google apps that try to sync my entire brain.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] vgcraze:
Basically, but you always have to be careful when doing so. Make backups of your data and follow the instructions carefully unless you really enjoy losing important files and using Odin lol.

I already thought the default destination for Camera pictures was in sdcard/DCIM ? And for cool widgets and animations, you are better off using a custom Launcher, such as GO Launcher EX. A ton of roms on here, however, do offer very nice looking themes and many remove bloatware.

My advice: get comfortable with CWM and flash a few roms; however many you need until you know you're preferences. :cool:
[HTC EVO 3D] VladBelsky:
We've all been wondering what will happen to Sense once we get the ICS update.

The honeycomb upgrade that the HTC Flyer got very recently gives us a clue:

http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/2130153/htc-flyer-android-honeycomb-upgrade

Here's a video of the flyer with gingerbread:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70y78sBtDbA

In gingerbread, the whole UI is tweaked and looks only slightly different from the one on phones.

The video of the Flyer with Honeycomb update:

http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/review/2131567/htc-flyer-running-android-honeycomb-video-review

Notice how the UI is far less modified than the Sense in Gingerbread. The lockscreen is the same, but the rest of the UI nearly stock, except for the widgets, icons, and system apps.

From this I infer that once we get the ICS update, HTC Sense won't be as extensive as it is in Gingerbread, and we will actually have less of the Sense UI and more vanilla Android.
[HTC EVO 3D] BrianBaker:
When it comes to their phones it will be sensed out..We can hope they don't mess it all up but they will..HTC isn't very established in the tablet market so they can experiment with what they think people want.Phones have been established so they will continue doing what they have always done...

This is just my opinion though..I wish they would just leave it alone and maybe add a few things

[HTC EVO 3D] eman3316@optonline.net:
It is not like HTC is lacking in sales due to to Sense. People continue to buy their phones so why would they think people do not want it.

I am sure for non-tech people who buy an HTC phone, Sense makes things a lot easier for them and they do not even know what Sense means.

Ask an HTC phone owner who is not into modding their phone what they think of Sense. I am willing to bet they have no clue what you are even talking about.
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
So they straight up disabled the buttons on the tablet with the honeycomb update. Damn i hope they dont do that for our ICS update. talk about losing screen real estate by adding a row on the screen for the buttons!

so besides the sense widget clock, and the sense lockscreen, what was "Sense" on that tablet?? to me looked like straight Honeycomb for most part.
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
Disable my capacitive buttons? HTC better not do something so stupid.
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
Yeah the flyers were a lil more hidden than ours r so I hope they don't do that for us.

Plus I'm pretty sure I saw somewhere Google released a notice to help manufacturers for putting ICS on devices that have buttons now.
[HTC EVO 3D] RainyPudding:
That was my dad's reaction when I ask him about it. I started laughing.

I do hope the HTC sticks to the vanilla ICS interface for the EVO 3D, maybe adding a few widgets and all. I prefer that much more than Sense and I don't really mind them disabling the capacitive buttons.
[HTC EVO 3D] nate420:
I dont think that will be OK with majority of users...

I would sell this phone the minute a galaxy nexus variant for sprint would come out if they made the capacitive buttons obsolete so soon

Sense looks good on the outside, but ugly on the inside. .

Kinda like a stripper

I like the some of the things it can do vs AoSP or TW.. . But the Rosie is useless and ugly. Its a ram hog and leaves/has footprints in almost every part of the OS

I think its a bit of overkill IMO

[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
na im a fan bud but personally they included a lot of sense features in ICS. The only thing ICS doesn't have is the Sense widgets and such really.
[HTC EVO 3D] BrianBaker:
I don't mind sense either but they load it down with way to Much memory eating garbage. No reason for a stock Evo3D with the hardware inside to run the way it does..Load up a senseless ROM and ADW and this thing screams
[HTC EVO 3D] OgremustCrush:
It makes sense for them to do this on a tablet. Honeycomb is designed to be used from any screen orientation, whereas the buttons are only good for one. Secondly, on honeycomb the status bar is also the button bar, no screen real estate is lost by having the buttons on something that is there anyway. Leaving the capacitive buttons enabled enables false presses without much benefit.

For a phone, the primary orientation is landscape and the buttons aren't on the status bar. Thus there is no reason to even use on screen buttons on a device that has capacitive buttons already. The galaxy nexus has to have a 16:9 screen which allows the buttons to be there without cutting down real estate compared to other phones.
[HTC EVO 3D] VladBelsky:
I could not be any more certain that the capacitive buttons will not be disabled in ICS. Also, the thing that bugs me the most about Sense besides the fact that it hogs ram and decreases the performance of the device is how deep its roots are in the OS, such as the fact that the drivers for autostereoscopy rely on the Sense framework, so AOSP roms don't have 3D and may not until 3D support becomes stock for Android, at which point the Evo 3D will probably be a legacy device or obsolete.
[HTC EVO 3D] sprinttouch666:
Woah, slow the hell down people. HTC isn't that stupid! (surprising right?). There NOT going to disable out capacitive buttons!!! ICS, unlike Honeycomb, can be used with our without capacitive buttons. They wont disable the buttons and put them onscreen if they don't have to, that's retarted.

But anyway, I like the idea of a less intrusive sense. I bet it won't happen however. They never really put much effort into sense for tablets, but on phones its their trademark. Sense widgets on a stockish system sounds really good, but w/e we'll have cm9 by them :D
[HTC EVO 3D] Drewmungus:
I just hope they make it so sense widgets work in other launchers, like make them part of the system instead of the launcher. I really hate the rosie launcher, it just seems so stupid if I get a replacement launcher I can't even use the stock music widget.
[HTC EVO 3D] dannyboyex:
The thing I disliked the most about sense is there wasn't really any customization. You HAD to have 5 screens. No more no less. And it's so baked in that if you use a different lockscreen you have to unlock and put in your password if you want to answer a call
[HTC EVO 3D] Rippley05:

Yes and in sense 3.5 you can delete them
[HTC EVO 3D] xeper:
Nope. However, a lot of people would probably like it a lot more if it wasn't a major delay factor in receiving updates.
[HTC EVO 3D] coolchris305:
I just wish HTC would let us some how chose aosp or sense, like disable it some how. I Think that will be best for ICS imo. But they wont care lol
[HTC EVO 3D] klbjr:
I feel the same way sometimes after reading a lot of the posts on here. I've tried AOSP ROMS and always come back to Sense.

[HTC EVO 3D] tokuzumi:
HTC/Sprint included the stock launcher when the Evo 4G first came out (you had to go and disable sense as the default). I'm sure the ICS launcher will become an app, and you can use that, instead of the sense launcher.
[HTC EVO 3D] xeper:
Thanks for the fantastic contribution, arbiter of tastes.
[HTC EVO 3D] Serren:
Which would be fine, as long as Sense is not just hiding in the background wasting ram and other resources while another launcher is running on top.
[HTC EVO 3D] VladBelsky:
Yes, but the Sense for the HTC Flyer was nearly the same on Gingerbread as the Sense on our phones, but with the Honeycomb update for the Flyer tablet, many elements of Sense were taken away, suggesting that the same might happen to our phones when we get ICS. Even the Galaxy Tab 10.1 has a more skinned UI on Honeycomb than the HTC Flyer does.

Thanks for the tip on the adjbrightness app. The erratic button light thing has been bugging me since an early update from VZW, and I never had been able to find a true solution to the problem. The logic of the button behavior is beyond me. Some nights it's on and refuses to go off, some it's off, seemingly without reason, and it is now blindingly and annoyingly bright, so any relief is welcome.

I know the app is just a workaround for the underlying problem, but my Droid X is within months of being replaced, so I'm happy to at least have this level of control in the interim.
