[Desire HD General] TwistedSanity666:
Well, an AOSP uses tons less space and ram, so i would imagine the battery life would be immense on that.

I flashed Virtuous Quattro and that used hardly any space in the system partition, where sense Roms use almost all of the space.
[Desire HD General] knoobie:
Perhaps I wasn't clear enough.. what I'm trying to find out here is if there is any sense Rom that is possible to be customised to look like ics without losing the advantages of some sense apps and HTC sync. I'm not into switching roms as I prefer to have one to work as my daily driver.

I know of coz ics Rom can be customised to be as close to sense but without sense kernel, there will still be missing HTC sync and some sense apps.
[Desire HD General] DirtymaxDiesel:
I've been a sense guy too for a long time but I've recently been following lord's ice cold sandwich rom and I love it more than any sense rom out there.
[Desire HD General] arieluxo:
The great thing would be a rom AOSP

with synchronization, camera and widgets (Sense)

Greetings!
[Desire HD General] kjfisher26:
Aosp. I always had sense. But I'm on LC s ics and its great. No more sense for me.
[Desire HD General] arknailed7754:
well yeah...launchers..adw have ics themes,launcherpro..golauncher ex has a sweet ics theme,all it does it change your dock etc and app draw,but lets you slide horizontal so thats good anyway...thats the only way your going to look like ics without losing sense,failing that,use the ics theme on a sense rom
[Desire HD General] zelendel:
Ok I will put it to you simple. The only way to have sense apps is to use Sense. Non of the widgets work without the launcher being used. All of the apps can be replaced with AOSP versions. Not sure about the navagation as I would never use a phone to tell me where i need to go. :rolleyes: Sync seems to be a big deal for you and not sure why. There are far better option out there.

So simply if you want to use HTC apps then you will use Sense.
[Desire HD General] arknailed7754:
yeah but depends if he wants the widgets..the apps themselves can still work,your not wrong though,the asop is quicker,battery lasts longer.can customize more,..sadly although i have them on my back ups,im a sense rom junkie,gets on my nerves to be honest. im hoping,with sense 4..they up there game now,sense 3.6 is..just with a few added bits not really an overhaul and its debateable whether because its running ice cream in the background if it will actually make a difference

forgot to say,although you can replace all apps from sense with others in asop.The mail app still in my opinion is one of the leaders for that sort of app. If someone could port that out of a sense rom id be chuffed lol
[Desire HD General] twerg:
You could try MiUI. Much liter and faster than Sense, can be close of speed to AOSP, and has a lot of the eye candy and usability of Sense. Best of both worlds. Is way more customisable than both Sense and AOSP too.
[Desire HD General] ghostofcain:
Big draw back of Miui is it makes your phone look like a f**king iPhone, but each to their own. Personally I find sense to full of bling for me, so have been running CM since day one (well actually it was day six or seven when root was finally achieved) and wouldn't go back if you paid me.
[Desire HD General] zelendel:
Dont get me wrong I have been a fan of Sense from back when it was first released on WM (better layout imo) But with the latest updates it is just far to bulky when it really doesnt need to be. I mean instead of making a whole big ass framework file why not just use whats already there. Anyone that has themed a sense rom knows my pain.

But with AOSP roms and the right widgets and launcher you get the best of both worlds. But again its to each his own. To be honest my next device will most likely be a Nexus just so the OS can be updated and I can theme it without having to worry about the same text color entry overwritting itself in like 6 places lol
[Desire HD General] twerg:
Fair enough. i love them all, each has their strenghts and I can not often settle one just one Rom, just keep changing to keep it fresh or for a for something new... (though usually keep coming back to MiUi)
[Desire HD General] BenRoark:
So Sense has a bunch of widgets, eh...

Interestingly enough, I found this thing called the "Android Market" which has a bunch of widgets too. And, unlike Sense widgets, they're customisable.

But yeah, Sense looks pretty nice overall. I can see why people dig it.
[Desire HD General] knoobie:
Well.. I uses HTC sync to sync contacts from outlook. My job requires me to visit sites occasionally which navigation comes in very handy. Some widgets helps to get things very organized as I mentioned before.. reason for not trying ics theme is becoz I will like some ics features like swipe at notification. Things like that..

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] treoo0_1:
Looking to remain Stock 4.0.4 (from leak), but want one MOD: The Notification Widgets, like that of GummyNex or Cyanogen.

Don't know why I cannot find this stand-alone MOD...and don't know how to make on my own. I guess ROM makers want you to try their full ROM and not parts?

Please...if anyone knows how I can easily flash such a MOD to 4.0.4 OS, a million thanks coming your way. Pretty Please?

PS - gotta try 4.0.4 OS + Radios. Huge difference. Biggest improvement for me: Auto-Brightness finally works properly! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danger-rat:
You mean something like Widgetsoid?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] treoo0_1:
Yes, but Widgetsoid can't stay on top of notifications w/out constant cpu inputs (so I've read). I don't want it taking up any resources at all, until actually activated, and it should stay on top of all notifications.

Anyway to pull-out the GummyNex or CM notification widgets/controls and flash to 4.0.4? I must be on the wrong track, as I don't see anything about this...anywhere.

Thanks for trying to help!
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
Hello guys I am looking for a good 2 way call recording app. It should be able to automatically record incoming & outgoing calls. It must be able to record the voice of both the parties clearly and the recorded voice should be audible. I am going to use it for personal use only.

I have tried Andro Call recorder but in it the recorded voice of the person at the other end is as good as inaudible and not clear. Earlier I used Ultimate Voice Recorder with my Nokia in which voice quality of both sides was acceptable. But Ultimate Voice Recorder for android doesn't work as seen from the comments section for the app in the android market.

I have also read that the call recording ability got killed in GB due to some US laws. But that should be only for illegal call recording in which the user is not aware thar the calls are being recorded. If the user himself wants to record the calls then he should be able to do it, heck even a lowly Nokia C3-00 has native call recording ability without the need to install any app. So that would be pretty foolish of Google & Samsung to not support it !

So is anyone using a call recording app which works correctly ? Any suggestions ? Any info would be welcomed . . . :)

I hope the info provided is clear enough, but if not then ask, I clear it out. Please do reply asap ! :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FoxholeNorman:
Hello all,

I have been using a customized version of CM7 on an Xperia Arc platform and am now moving to the Arc S (inherited the project). My understanding is that the phones are practically the same, but extracting proprietary files in the build process has left me with some missing libraries, specifically it seems those associated with the TI WLAN hardware, and I am unable to complete the build. My guess is that the script is pointing to a location that differs between the Arc and Arc S, but I'm unsure and wanted to know if anyone knows why this is occurring or had encountered it before.

I also wanted to check my understanding of FreeXperia. It is a custom kernel that is packaged with the CM7 ROM, correct? Ultimately I need to modify the OS so that certain functionality is limited for my project, hence downloading the CM source, but I'm not sure I need to compile a kernel if I could package the ROM with one from FreeXperia.

Please advise and correct my logic if necessary. I am relatively new to Android, specifically at this level of development.

Thanks,

Fox

i'm a noob user..

i want know why is the reason that in my captivate you need data conection to use the GPS service?
[General Questions and Answers] red12355:
I'm guessing it's to stream the maps since they aren't saved locally.
[General Questions and Answers] Cannson:
I think there are two reasons: first as said before it's needed for data streaming, but I also noticed that it takes much more time to find the current location if you only use GPS because the phone also uses the mobile network to get the information about the approximate location

Not sure about the i9003, but I can confirm via my HTC EVO 3D, that this ap works great. Easy to use and records calls rather well. You do need to use the speaker phone as much as possible while recording just like any other call recorder, but it does work well.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bangalorerohan:

Apparently Google isnt interested in CDMA phones having custom developer builds. Such as CM7, CM9 and MIUI. Read it for yourself.

Wonder what this means for us...
[Epic 4G General] xopher.hunter:
10charrrrr
[Epic 4G General] ashbuly:
Well, that is not all that unusual. From a development and support standard, it is next to impossible for Google or anyone else to keep track of and support every possible ROM out there. Just like with anything, when you start making changes, you are taking the risk and giving up the safety of designated support. And to be quite honest, I would rather get my support from other users on XDA than "official" corporation lackeys.
[Epic 4G General] sohardivetried:
while i agree that i would rather have a non corporate dev, it wont do much good if support for CDMA is removed from the AOSP source tree... Basically google is saying, get your CDMA support from your carrier, not us. even though they originally wrote the code to get CDMA working, much of the data used is supplied by the carrier. I think it has a lot to do with verizon, not sprint, but cdma is cdma...
[Epic 4G General] squshy 7:
Wow, people really do love to misinterpret and over react to Google announcements. This is starting to feel like the privacy policy backlash.

Umm, after reading the actual Google groups article (not the usual trash by the register), it doesn't look like anything has changed. According to the announcement, Google has simply changed the verbiage in their AOSP documentation to reflect the reality of how little support they've been able to give CDMA...

Sooo...basically, Google has always had a hard time supporting custom AOSP CDMA builds due to the technical reasons outlined, but the AOSP documentation gave the impression that there wasn't a difficult time. Now they've simply edited the documentation to reflect the reality of the situation. Not dropping support, as they've stated twice, they'll still be giving the same amount of effort to support CDMA.

So...the status quo is still, indeed, the status quo.

Carry on people, nothing to worry about here.
[Epic 4G General] sohardivetried:
sweet, good to know :) i just thought it was ****ed up, thought we might not have much to look forward to if we are upgrading to the Galaxy Nexus or SGS3 on sprint. ive never considered a carrier switch until i read that. Good to know i might not have to.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THUDUK:
I can imagine this may have been asked before, yet I can't find any definitive answers, to what are the benefits to running ICS over Gingerbread at this time?

:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xarpios:
I dont really think there is much right at this moment, due to the ICS being out is so buggy, but i read alot of positive about CM9 which is running ICS - though one major drawback for me is the USB mount doesn't work.

But after playing around with my dads Galaxy Nexus, the diffrence aint gamebreaking. Surely its optimised in other ways, better interface imo - but again, Gingerbread is really great, and i will surely stick to this untill ROM chefs starts to cook roms on stable ICS releases.

Eventually check out my thread where some people are talking about ICS and the benefits from it compared to Gingerbread :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] javefang:
right, ics is still buggy. but check out some of the very good custom ics roms in the development forum. some of them now are more stable than they previously do. i mean, stable enough for daily use.

apparently ICS has a lot of benefit over GB:

some of the good points:

- smoother ui animation (you'll feel more smoother than GB, also there are more transition animation added)

- improved google apps (gmail, calendar, maps, phone, sms have been redesigned and feels better than current version in GB)

- voice dictation (different from the one in GB, instead of "press-speak-press-speak", now you can keep speaking and the word will come out as you speak)

- face unlock (no need to introduce)

- options to encrypt the phone memory (forget if GB has it)

- some new widgets (some of the custom roms use AOSP apps instead of the samsung one, e.g. the calendar widget looks much better now)

- camera app seems to open faster

some problems:

- usb mass storage not working (may get fixed in the future, but now you can use MTP instead, if you are using windows or mac. linux users can have some problem with that)

- some apps don't work with ICS (most apps work, for the rest we need to wait for update to support ics)

- battery drain issue (there have been several report for battery drain on "Android OS" process, google seems to fix it in 4.0.4, so we just need to wait. currently mine can last over 10h with moderate use)

- remember it's still in alpha/beta stage, so backup your data!

if you are really interested, make a full backup using CWM and try to flash some of the roms. you can always go back to ginger bread by recovering the backup. hope this helps
