[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AMDPOWERFIST:
Hi,

This is a question for all the Devs out there....

I was wondering if it is possible, to somehow change a setting on the phone, to significantly boost reception strength on both the mobile network and a 3G connectivity.

Now i know this would (if possible) come at a significant cost of battery as well... this is fine, as i would only want to use it at my work desk, where i have my phone plugged into a power socket the whole day anyways.

So the signal boosting would have to be a switchable function (if its possible at all) so that when i finish work for the day, i would then be able to switch it back to "normal" and not "boosted"

Its a weird request, and like i said i am not sure if its even possible, but any help or a point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. I am sure i am not alone in the desire for such a function.

Edit: i found a bit of info in another thread, about a different phone.... but i dont understand it, nor know if it has any relevance to this.

Thanks in advance,
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NTOP:
Does anyone have this solution as i require it as well for T-Mobile UK as well

I am running 2.3.4

Thank You
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AMDPOWERFIST:
anyone have any idea?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bOkz:
isn't it dependent on the modem being used?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AMDPOWERFIST:
Yeh its very modem file dependant. But i am sure there would be a way to give the signal a boost from changing some system files somewhere inside the phone.

Changing the amount of power required to boost the signal would be a great start, but like i said, i am not a developer, but it would be good if a developer could have a look at this, and see whether it is possible or not.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
The 9100T modems have a higher SAR (radiation) value, from what I read or understand is really a function of the power output/transmission. As these are specific modems for the T versions, I'm sure you could boost and fine tune other modems in a similar way. The carrier might have to support it for it to work properly though.

Trade of might be higher battery drain and radiation.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
The modem firmware, where you would have to edit stuff, is a binary, and undocumented. You would have to put it though a hex editor.

Not many people have the knowhow, and those who do know that its a basically imposable task.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AMDPOWERFIST:
ahh ok fair enough.

I figured it would be possible, but wondered why it had never been attempted. If its as stated above, then chances are it most likely wont be figured out or attempted anytime soon.

Thanks for the insight guys, appreciate it all.

*sigh*

Well I flashed a theme over Calk's ROM but now I'm regretting it. Of course, me being a dum dum..I didnt back up before doing it.

I could always start the process all over again but for future references, is there any way to go back to the theme(stock) that the ROM came over without reflashing everything again??? :confused:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AVAH0LIC:
What's the problem with flashing? Just do a cache and dalvik wipe... Not factory wipe, and flash Rom... It'll be like the theme was never there and you won't lose anything ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
Wipe cache and dalvik not data. Then flash calks rom and you are good to go :)

Agh someone beat me too it lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thegoodrat:
HAHAHA wow so I've just been doing extra work all along. Jeez I need some better reading comprehension. :o

[HTC Incredible S] chrisdeger:
Hey all,

Just wondering if the two models HTC incredible s and droid incredible 2 have cross comparable Roms seeing as they are the same phone any one know ? Thanks in advance
[HTC Incredible S] Nonverbose:
They are not the same phone, how did you come to this conclusion?
[HTC Incredible S] chrisdeger:
I was told it was just a re branding
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
The DInc2 has a CDMA and GSM radio while the IncS only has a GSM radio. There is a China version of the IncS with both a CDMA and GSM radio - model S710D, so that may be where the confusion came from.

But as far as the North American IncS and the DInc2 simply being rebranded is completely inaccurate.
[HTC Incredible S] Nonverbose:
Inc S uses msm8255 chipset while Inc2 uses an msm8655

[HTC Incredible S] Nyiienigma:
bingo. i though they are the same phone, before the China Telecom version S710D come out.

I'm running stock rooted, and installed the google apps with the kindle fire utility. All of them work flawlessly except the google calendar app. For some reason there is a grey bar across the top just under the month and days and it hides the part of the top row of the calendar. Has anyone else had this problem, or managed a fix for it?
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Gam3r 4 Life:
I worked on this for hours and finally found a version of the google calendar apk that doesnt cut off the top row. I have attached the apk. Hope it works for anyone else having that issue.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] billyapd21:
How do you get it to sync your calendar events from gmail?,
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Gam3r 4 Life:
If you already have the calendar installed, take this file here and use a file exporer app or root explorer and put it into /system/apps and change its permissions to what the picture below looks like. Reboot. Then you should be good.

Ive attached a picture of what the permissions should look like.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Kranix:
Thank you! I was looking for the same thing! Works perfectly!
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Gam3r 4 Life:
Glad to have helped.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] mrjlturner:
I have pulled both Calendar.apk & googlecalendarSyncAdapter.apk from this thread, copied googlecalendarSyncAdapter.apk to \system\apps and modified permissions as specified. I then installed the calendar.apk and rebooted. The calendar shows up normally, but when I choose Menu | More | Calendars it is just blank and doesn't show an option to select my gmail account.... Feels like some sort of calendar cache?

Any other ideas to get this working?

Thanks!

Out of this World (Another World) Port

Description

This is Out of this World (Another World) port for Windows Phone 7.

No sound in current version.

Press "back" button to enter code, press "back" again to quit app.

Tested on LG E900.

This port is based on

- Fabien Sanglard Raw interpreter which is revamped version of

- Piotr Padkowski's newRaw interpreter which was based on

- Gregory Montoir's reverse engineering of

- Eric Chahi's assembly code.

If you want C# source code (GNU GPL) please contact me via PM.

UPDATE 14 JAN 2012

Updated to 0.2 (AnotherWorld02.xap)

There was game breaking bug and some small graphic glitches - fixed

Mod Edit: Copyright Files included in the game

Mango XAP file (sideload only)

Warning

XAP has embedded original game files which are copyrighted.

I don't wanted to include game files inside XAP, but due to technical difficulties I had to add them.

I hope that this app doesn't violate forum rules.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] sensboston:
Wow, amazing! Eric Chahi wrote a really epic game with a lot of innovations; it was one of my favorite games...

Your port is really good and reliable but will be nice to see hi-res graphics from the latest release of AW (current low-res graphics also violated Eric's copyright :))

Have you tried to contact Eric Chahi directly? Probably he will allow you to publish your port on the marketplace (I hope so!)

BTW, big thanks for your work! Good job!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] gumispl90:
I just fixed game breaking bug. Maybe now :p

I will contact Cachi in near future and ask about it.

Have you any idea how to modernize control? Currently I think it's very uncomfortable.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] sensboston:
Sorry, I had no time to play game, just started, watched the original graphics and tried to complete first level (but without success :)).

As for game controls: I'm not a big expert in games; as for me current looks OK and standard, I can only recommend you to make left sided joystick a little bit bigger and use "sectors" instead of small arrows. You may also make it semitransparent.

Another idea: make controls position adjustable (using additional setup screen, for example - btw you'll need "settings" page, to adjust volume and music).
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] andrew-in-woking:
Bigger Joystick

I think that a bigger joystick would be better. Four large transparent square buttons (like the action button but square) would work really well.

Thanks for putting this together, it's a great game.

Cheers

Another World port for WM6.5?

Hi,

I like this game and find this for WM5 but it is only for 320x200 resolution. Is possible to port this to Windows Mobile 6.5 (I meen Omnia 2 I8000 phone) ? It has 800x480 VWGA resolution. Or make some patch to original AnotherWorldCE 320x200 version?

Thx.

[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
I jut went to the Verizon store to show my girlfriend the Galaxy Nexus since she hates her iPhone 4G and I decided to run Antutu Benchmark on both of them. The results highly surprised me, even though my Rezound has a 600 MHz advantage :D

edit: updated the pic with a comparison of my Rezound running Senseless ICS beta.
[HTC Rezound] JohnShaft69:
gotta love that rezound love!
[HTC Rezound] DaPitt84:
Is that app, correct? Cause the nexus and galaxy a II beats out the rezound. I don't get why.

PS.... Love my phone and wouldn't trade it for one of those two.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
What ROM and kernel are you running?

Let me know if you want to get rid of that iphone

-Scott
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
Funny, my girlfriend has the same case, lol.
[HTC Rezound] Hag77:
Never used that benchmark app- but is it skewed by the fact that the nexus is running ics or is it purely hardware? Either way- I'm not too worried bout it- This phone flies now and will even more when we get aosp ics.
[HTC Rezound] SHIDOOBY:
It looks like you're running ziggys kernel, can i ask what governor?
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Yes the app is accurate.. I've gotten close to 6,800 w/ ziggy's kernel with performance governor. But don't freak out just cause the gnex has a lower score.. Benches are for fun! My friends Gnex at stock speeds on the HD rom runs just as smooth.
[HTC Rezound] brisdaddy1207:
You mean 4s not iPhone 4g
[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
Actually I meant iPhone 4 :D She calls it the 4G.

The Mik Mik's Ineffibilis with Ziggy's kernel. She wants to get rid of it but A) it's the AT&T iPhone and her contract isn't done for another year...

Performance all the way, just got the extended battery so I can run it at full brightness and use the performance gov when it's awake. Why get a beast of a phone and cripple it just to conserve battery life?

haha she rants and raves about how she wants Siri and the only reason she got an iPhone was so she could go on Facebook (she's 20). I show her all the crap I can do with my Rezound and she's like wtf why can't my phone do that? I showed her the two Siri clones (Iris and Cluzee) and explained that they were free and basically any Android phone could get that and we've had text to speech and speech to text for years. What really started it was at the end of last month we were in NYC; we were stuffed way back in TGI Friday's and she was complaining that she couldn't get on Facebook, I mentioned the Samsung commercial where they make fun of the iPhone and then was like wait I can show you. I streamed the commercial at 720P and it loaded instantly, she loved that! :rolleyes:
[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
*bump*

updated first post
[HTC Rezound] 06stang:
Read a few reviews running that benchmark saying its inaccurate because its not fully optimized for ICS as well
[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
That's what I was thinking and I looked at their app in the market and it doesn't mention anything about ICS, but then again two phones running the same (major) version of ICS should give reasonable results.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ytwytw:
Well, I did a little search for the SAMSUNG STOCK boot animation since I don't like the one in Custom and I just like the Stock one to just show off :D

and here it is...

I know you can found this in stock rom or img or whatever, but this one is just for convenience

I take no credit since Samsung made it, not me :o

How to use it?

adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/

Tried replacing using root explorer and didn't work. I'll try adb when I get to my PC.

Hello,

I'm wondering what EQ settings are best for all types of music.?
[Off-topic] LordManhattan:
Use your ears. Some people like to have a lot of bass, and some like to have small amounts or even none. Plug your headphones in and adjust it until you like how it sounds on different songs and genres.
[Off-topic] iynfynity:
I don't use EQ. :p Makes my life simple. The settings in Voodoo control is enough for my ears.
[Off-topic] TravisBean:
The ones picked by the recording engineer during the tracking session. ;)
[Off-topic] marketingmike:
I prefer a flat EQ a well, but that is because I want to hear the track how the artists/engineers intend. I have ultimate ears triple fi 10 in-ears and they sound amazing. But it takes some getting used to the sound since most people are not used to hearing super clear mids and highs
[Off-topic] Dirk:
Save up for decent equipment and use no EQ at all. DSP effects ruin sound fidelity. As mentioned above, get used to listening to music the way it was intended by the artists and sound engineers that recorded it.
[Off-topic] VeryCoolAlan:
And here I was staying on Cm7 just for the DSP manager
[Off-topic] MacaronyMax:
I add bass, lots of it, but maybe I should stop using DSP

also Alan, DSP can be had on any ROM I'm on touchwiz ATM :p

(If you download Root toolbox you can find it in the 'other ' section then flash it)

I use "better keyboard". It doesn't get any publicity, but for some reason, I found that it caught the words I was trying to type a lot more accurately than the other keyboards I tried.

Also, sorry for threadjacking, but do you guys really type in landscape mode? This screen is so huge, I haven't once done it.

Swype is the best for me, after using it could never go back to the regular ones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rexboy:
for traditional typing swift key x is very fast and accurate and the more you use it the more accustomed it gets in understanding how you type to predict the next words.

for swiping swype isn't bad but overated. slideit it good for learning abbreviations but I find shapewriter the fastest. it's no longer supported but it's very quick.. touchpal and ultra aren't to bad either

* FlexT9 or trace, not sure what it's called now is also very accurate, one of the best sliding ones actually.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darrendm:
Swype has really been annoying me recently. Sometimes I just want to type normally but it will always bug me and start swyping because I may type too fast or start auto-correcting everything I don't want it to.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I gave the Stock Keyboard the old college try, but I had to go back to Swype. I'm just too used to the swiping motion, and it was taking me forever to type emails.

Swype is the only think keeping me sane after switching from the hardware keyboard of the Milestone. I used that hardware keyboard for everything, even typing in short things like searches and urls.

Awesome guide, I am looking forward to giving this a go soon. Just curious but how difficult is the process to include a custom recovery?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shanenielsen1234:
It all depends if you wanted to flash a already made custom recovery (cwm) then we would just haved to root the kernel then build and flash the recovery. If you were to make a fully custom recovery with custom functions made by you then it could get a little more tricky but, I am guessing you just mean flashing a custom recovery like cwm. Which is not terribly hard but, not neccesary easy eather depending on how hard it is to obtain root.

I might update the guide in the future. Showing how to do something like this but, I have a few more ideas for the guide before I include this.
