the problem lies with the id tags that is associated with your songs. they should be encoded with utf-8 format so as to be readable. google mp3 id tag editor.
[HTC Titan] 50000:
Hi all,

I have an HTC TITAN and have found the hardware acceleration / graphics acceleration (at least for IE9) is not working properly.

On my old HD7 (which is doing the rounds of iPhone4 users to convert them :D ), I saw performance differences before and after Mango. The current performance of my TITAN in IE9 is much slower than the HD7 post-Mango.

I'm using the HTML5 Speed Reading test and getting 15 FPS, and 4FPS on the Particle Acceleration... (site won't allow me to post the links).

OS version is 7.10.8107.79 and firmware version 1600.2200.20201.708

Can a few people please test this and state model, OS, and firmware? I'm only assuming it's a firmware thing therefore TITAN related but it might be on other devices also.

Thanks!

PS. I searched the forums for the HTML5 tests and couldn't find them, no doubt people would have compared results already.
[HTC Titan] kamran1987:
I got 60 FPS,just like google chrome on my pc.Did you use the mobile version ? There are two versions(mobile and pc).

[HTC Titan] 50000:
Err... I used the desktop one... strange there is such a massive difference :confused: (I view desktop sites by default). Getting 60 FPS from the mobile page. :D

I presume the only difference technically is the window size 1024x1378 in the desktop page vs. presumably native resolution in the mobile page.

Thanks for your help! :)
[HTC Titan] 50000:
Oh and I just tested both in Chrome on my PC and got 9 FPS and 60 FPS (capped at 60 on everything I guess), so no complaints at all from the performance of the TITAN! :D:D:D
[Kindle Fire General] t0mD:
I'm sure I'm not the only one that has this question but here goes anyways:

I have several wallpapers or pictures that I want to use as a wallpaper. But when I try to set them I have to crop it and when I do that the image is all pixelated and distorted. I want to set it and have it seen on my Kindle the way I see it in my gallery. Is it possible to set it so that it is set "fit height" or "fit width"? Maybe an "advance wallpaper setting" or something (stretch/fit/center/ect)?

BTW, already rooted and know the /data/data/com.android.settings/files/wallpaper permissions thing. Just want to know the above question about setting the wallpaper the proper image.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] gadgetball:
I attempted to flash QuickWiz 1.0.3 ROM and Da_G's .42 kernel with 1.72 oc script. Should I be able to see it in Settings/About Phone?

Here's what my screen shows:

Model# SAMSUNG-SGH-I727

Android Version 2.3.5

Baseband Version I727UCKJ2

Kernel Version 2.6.35.11 (SHouldnt Da_G's kernel be shown here?)

Build # GINGERBREAD.UCKJ2 (Shouldnt QuickWiz be shown here?)

I previously had SkyROCKeteer 2.0 Alpha1 with ATT Stockish kernel and I727ATTKJ2 radio

In cwm I did the following order:

1. Backup all apps and data via Titanium BU

2. Backed up current ROM state

3. wipe cache partition

4. wipe dalvic cache

5. wipe data factory reset

6.Mounts and storage Format System

7. Install zip from sd card QuickWiz 1.0.3

8. reboot system

9. back to cwm and clear cache and dalvic again before install zip from sd card Da_G .42 kernel and 1.72 oc script back to back (no wipe cache or reboot system. Did both at same time. Did I do this part wrong?)

10. Reboot system

11. back to cwm and wiped cache and dalvic again

12. Reboot system

I tried a few times, one of which all my saved data from my apps and launcher automatically installed at first startup. The final time I tried, nothing transferred over and when I went to recover apps and data from Titanium BU, it seems that no saved data transferred over and I am stuck at this point wondering if I did something wrong before I spend the better part of a day reconfiguring everything.

Any ideas?? Did I miss a step or mix up some steps?

Also, the I727ATTKJ2 radio I had installed with SkyROCKeteer...will I need that reinstalled with QuickWiz?

TIA for any input!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DoctorQMM:
To answer your subject line question, you can use "CPU SPY" from the Market (free) which not only shows your CPU frequency states, but if you scroll to bottom, it will give you detailed information on the Kernel loaded.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aburn95:
I lost my damn G2X the other day while drunk and had just installed a new ROM and no tracking app yet. The guy at Tmobile today told that anyone could put their own SIM card in my phone if found and use it without a problem.

Can TMobile really not associate the IMEI off that phone (that I reported lost) with one that cannot be activated? I don't want to believe that and don't believe the fat slob at the store anyways due to how he bad he messed up my account today and failed to share important information with me
[T-Mobile LG G2x] psychoace:
Any T-Mobile sim card can work with any T-Mobile or Unlocked phone without the need of setting up a IMEI to that sim card. So yes they can just throw in there card and it will work. If you report your phone stolen then T-Mobile might be able to block the use of said IMEI from it's network. That is if you know what that number is and you ask about it over the phone. The first thing you should of done in this situation is called in your phone as stolen. Still it's possible they wont do that. I know I've seen comment for cell phone dealers on ebay who stated that the company sold them a stolen phone that is now deactivated. So best of luck. Also make sure you go to an actual corporate store. Not all T-Mobile stores are owned by T-Mobile. It's very hard to tell the difference between them.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aburn95:
Thanks I have the box it came in I think that has IMEI
[T-Mobile LG G2x] g.sembhi:
its a gsm phone so they can't do anything, if it was a cdma then it won't work!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aburn95:
well crap. someones a lucky ************
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
If you are fast enough you log onto the Android Market on the internet and install Plan B. If they have not yanked out your sim yet plan b will install, automatically run, send an sms to you with the phone's location and allow you to track it online. You can also lock it and have it put a message on the phone to return it to the owner.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] iCraft:
Jboxer is right, most probably the thief doesn't know as much to know that he can throw another sim card in there.

Best of luck though
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
And it is not true that T-Mobile cannot block the IMEI. If you call T-Mobile and report it lost they will definitely block the IMEI from use on their network. Whoever found it or stole it won't be able to use it on T-Mobile but they would still be able to sim unlock it and use it on AT&T or another network.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aburn95:
Thanks everyone. I think it's all too late. I tried installing Wheres my Droid from net the next morning but it either needs to be set up on phone first (can't remember) or the phone had already died. Wish I knew about "Plan B." This succcccks. I really hope something goes wrong with it for the new owner, And sure hope they like a basic ass setup of MIUI!!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] metaldood:
I was looking at some apps for wifi file sync but could not find which are automated.

What I would like is install app on phone and corresponding s/w on Windows.

Set which folders(/sdcard) to sync( not interested in music/photos etc) .

Set a time to sync say at 9pm everyday. So the app will automatically sync at that time without explicitly running/starting it on the phone.

Thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] Pirateghost:
What's the point in backing up your /system/app folder? Nothing ever changes there unless you mount /system as r/w and make changes yourself.

[HTC Inspire 4G] metaldood:
Ok forget about /system/app. ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Pirateghost:
i used to do this with Tasker+Rsync (which sync'd everything up to my linux server)

there are probably other ways of automating it, but i cant think of anything out of the box and easy to use....
[HTC Inspire 4G] elbermu:
I use unison for sync my sdcard with my PC, with a little configuration file you can sync the changes between the two and also configure a backup folder if something is deleted. But as someone said, maybe is not an easy task, and you may need to read the manual. I think you can use it on windows too.
[HTC Inspire 4G] metaldood:
Okay, So I looked at rsync and found how to set it up for Windows. I can now backup the files. Now I need to setup Tasker/Automate it on the phone.

How do you run the rsync profile with Tasker? I add profile and task to Tasker and selected to run at 10pm but it did not run.

Edit... Scratch that... Little tinkering and backup is running.
[HTC Sensation] honda1991:
I know this is a noob question, but how does everyone reinstall there settings and apps after superwipes? Do you guys use titanium? Cause I thought titanium restores like that made crashes. I'm going from HD 3.6.11 to 6.0.1..
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Yes titanium is the way most here restore and back up apps. The trick is to restore apps with data only and NOT system data. Restoring system data from another rom to a new different rom will conflict and cause force closes. Kinda self explanatory if you think about it a bit. But bottom line titanium is the way to go when traveling from rom to rom. Titanium is good, but nandroid backups is THE way to back up your set up prior to flashing new stuff. Happy flashing.

But you don't need to restore your system settings other than bt profiles and wifi access points.

[HTC Sensation] sk8dayfuknight:
Download titanium backup. Click on the backup/restore tab. Then tap your menu button on your phone. Hit batch. Backup user apps. That will put a folder in your sdcard called TitaniumBackup with your backups in it. After flashing a new rom, download titanium backup again and go to batch. And hit restore user apps with data
[HTC Sensation] corumuk:
+1 for titianium.

as far as contacts go, you have these backed up automatically to your gmail account when you set it up, or do a manual export to your sd card from within the 'people' app.
[HTC Sensation] newr:
how about the green system info

My question is similar and having learnt the hard way when installing the system apps and data causing new ROM to FC often.

However, other than the "missing app and data" do you restore anything else? which is safe to do? I assume the account info, access point, MMS is ok? How about the desktop? Is there a way to restore how the apps were organized (i.e. the folders they are placed)?

Also, when you reinstall titanium backup after a new ROM, will it automatically know you can download the pro version if it's bought in market place? Or else, how can one avoid having to pay again to reinstall?

Thx.
[HTC Sensation] TriTopaz:
You can restore SMS & MMS with the stock Messaging-Program.

Thats the way I do it: Save Apps with Titanium, Store Messages & Contacts to SD-Card and make Screenshots from my desktop´s.

When you change the OS, you can´t restore Systemsettings. Like the Desktop as well.

The Titanium Pro can be activated on a different OS Version. Just download the free one and activate it by the given Key from the paied Version.
[HTC Sensation] jasminthoria:
Use Titanium Backup its the best one out for android os
[HTC Sensation] newr:
So take a screen shots of the folders the apps r in and just reorganized it all over? There's no way to do it automatically then?

There is a system setting for allowing you to backup the Sense desktop. I forget exactly whatever its called in titanium but it does work after you flash a new Rom and need to restore.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vulf:
So I have a G1. I rooted it and then tried flashing CM5 (Or 6, I don't remember) but something went wrong so I just dropped this project. I picked it up again because my girlfriend has a dumbphone, so I want to give her this smartphone until I can buy her a better one. When I boot up the G1 normally, it just stays at the boot screen. I am able to get into recovery. However, when I trying to flash CM6 I had to go through a few steps. I flashed CWM Recovery, created a backup, updated radios and such, then flashed Danger SPL. After that (I think that's all I did, it was about a year ago so I don't exactly remember) it reverted to JesusFreke's Recovery(the default recovery installed using the rooting method that I used). The phone is in S-OFF and I believe the H-BOOT Version indicates that Danger SPL was flashed successfully as well, but I'm kind of stuck now. Any help would be appreciated.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vulf:
Thanks for the response :D

I'm having a problem. I tried flashing the custom recovery multiple ways but it didn't work. The farthest I got was through fastboot. I installed fastboot on my computer and I have the recovery file in the root of the SD. I put the G1 into fastboot and checked to see if it was detected:

fastboot devices

HT841GZ06125 fastboot

I assume that means it's detected. Then I ran this:

fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0.img

error: cannot load 'recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0.img'

What's wrong?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
The recovery.img you want to flash needs to be in your current working directory our you need to give the full path as a parameter, i.e.

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

if the recovery image is in your working directory or

fastboot flash recocery /home/xyz/work/recovery.img

if the recovery image is located in the directory /home/xyz/work
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vulf:
Wow, I feel so dumb. For some reason I thought fastboot worked through the sdcard, although now I realize that is impossible because the SD wasn't mounted. Happily running CM6.1 now =]

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] honnes:
I'm a bit at the same stage as Vulf,and just grabbed my G1 out of the dust again, whilst my Sensation XE is being repaired.

I have been struggling for three days now to get a ROM flashed, but I obviously must be doing something wrong. I know there's a whole lot of information available. I been through a lot of topics, and tried different things. I am now kinda frustrated and wondering what I'm doing wrong, and hope someone can help me out.

Take for instance FrankDrey's ROM, I'd love to try it, and just followed your steps perhaps 10 times. But, just like many other ROM's I try to install (i.e CM7.2, ezGingerBread), I end up in the 'hanging G1' screen. I tried using different kernels (perhaps the wrong one?), tried the swipes using 'fastboot', the superswipe and all kinds of things, but I never got anything to work. But... for some reason, there's 1 ROM that did work for me, just not 100%. I tried Froyo DreamTeam ROM, which installed (like most other roms did, except some gave Status 7 boot write error), but this one actually booted up. I could not work with it, because I did not get the 'install wizard', did not see the 'Market', my phone has no lock screen anymore (pressing any button activates the phone), and I could not use my 'Phone' and 'Home' key anymore. (these still work in recovery mode though) I tried different 'gapps' apart from the one being suggested, and been looking at some 'custom ATMD' or so which might be a cause for the 'home' and 'phone' key, but I did not recognize anything in there that I have been doing.

I really hope someone can please help me out, so I can finally get this phone to work again properly (and give it to my sister in a few weeks :))

Here's the information fastboot gives me, which seems to be what it should be, I think:

DREAM PVT 32B SHIP S-ON

HBOOT 1.33.0013D (DREA11000)

CPLD-4

RADIO-2.22.28.25

Oct 21 2009:22:33:27

I believe that the Kernel I used was one of EzTerry (excuse me if I misspelled that), the 1.5.1 Froyo based.

Thanks in advance to anyone who's taking time to read and help me out.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
With that radio/SPL you should be able to run ezGingerbread without problems. To be sure, do a

fastboot erase system -w

then boot into recovery and flash latest version of Terry's ROM http://sandbox.devnull.name/android/gingerbread/GINGERBREAD-DS-Stable-v1.0-20111204.zip and gapps http://www.multiupload.com/7B0LCBTREB, then boot the ROM. The first boot might take some time ... (>= 5 min)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
anddisa should also mention to look at his signature. he has a version of ezgingerbread that is almost the same as ezterrys but has a few nice tweaks to it. if you tap his sig it will link you to a page explaining his version and a dropbox for the files.

oh and anddisa i love your work and all the help you give on xda so in case i never thanked you ill do it in the post above!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] honnes:
Hello AndSisa and demkantor. First I'd just like to say thank you for the help! :).

Is the erase system -w better, or is it the same as the 'wipe' from the recovery menu? I tried both just to make sure :). Also, I had the feeling that installing another kernel was sort of required for the ROM to work.

Anyway, I followed your steps, but instead, I flashed the ROM from your signature. As demkantor mentioned, for some reason my preference goes to the ADS_Magpie ROM. I also tried that ROM earlier, without any luck I have to add, and I'm afraid I'm facing the same again as I speak :(. I downloaded the Signed-v1.0 by the way.

I think I'll wait another 10 minutes and try the ezGingerbread rom soon which you posted in your reply (which I tried as well a few times), trying it the way you suggest me. I'll keep my fingers crossed, and will post my result in a reply if no one else has replied after my post, and otherwise I'll edit this post :).

Thanks in advance, and when I got my ROM running, I'll make sure to properly thank you using the 'Thank you' button.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
Yes with that radio and spl you should be able to flash Frayo, froyobylaszlo, EzGingerbread, and a few other ROMs.

Are you sure you're waiting long enough?

It may take a few minutes...

If you are waiting that long, then hmm...sounds odd...

When you flashed frayo was it the ONLY thing you flashed? Make sure it is.

You don't need to flash any kernels or anything.

Just frayo-signed.zip and that's all...

Btw, my theory is confirmed :D

Google apps controls the Home/Phone keys, Lockscreen and other stuff! :P
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] honnes:
My 2nd attempt in flashing ezGingerBread turns out to fail as well I'm afraid. I've waited for nearly 10 minutes now (and counting), yet no sign of life.

For some reason, I got a feeling that it just skips to install something or so. For instance, when I install this DreamTeam Froyo, and install the Google Apps they provide (or any other cause none worked for me), it does say "Google Apps installed", or something like that after I flashed the .zip file. However, in the menu, I don't see any Google app at all. Should I try another SD card, or can't it be the SD card? As for the SD card, I partitioned it as some topic advises, I guess yours. (512MB Ext4, 96swap, other GB's FAT32).

As for your ROM, Frankdrey, I tried 4 different methods to be honest. I tried the straight-forward, flash it + gapps. I tried flashing + kernel + gapps, I tried flashing kernel, your rom, and then gapps, and even once without gapps, but without any result :(.

Also, can it be possible that the kernel I installed is not compatible with the ROM? I flashed the 1.5.2f_S one from Terry, been switching between the Froyo / GIngerbread one depending on the android version.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
Nonono...for my ROM you don't need to flash Gapps

Just flash the ROM and thats it!

No kernel, no Gapps;)

Everything is included!

Both EzGingerBread and Frayo/Froyobylaszlo include the kernel in them!

So you don't need to flash any kernels, just make sure you have the correct SPL/Radio and you're all set!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
I feel there is something missing from the equation here. What was the last working rom you had on your g1? Have you ever had a custom mtd? According to what your telling us your radio/spl are ideal, you seem to have the latest recovery and understand fastboot.

Try this mount your sd sd card to make sure it works, take everything off except superwipe and frayo (ease of use) thats all you should need. From recovery flash superwipe.zip then teboot to recovery. Flash frayo.zip the reboot. Wait. Wait. Even as long as 20 min. After that i would sugest just starting over with dreaming.nbh
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Hey frankdrey, how did you confirm the gapps could be causing the home keys etc problems. What google app(s) is the source?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
There is another possibillity at least to see what is happening: While booting your phone keep it connected to usb and type

adb logcat

on the console of your PC. At least after one/two minutes you should see something there. On a Linux system you could also do a

adb logcat | tee boot.log

so the output is written into the boot.log file, too.

If you provide later that log, probably we can see what's happening.
