[Omnia 7 General] DavidJBrown:
Hi All,

I've just been given an Omnia 7 and I'm not sure what to do with it.

I have an HTC Wildfire (Unlocked running CM) and my initial thoughts were to put CM on the Omnia, after a bit of research I found this wasn't possible.

So do I migrate from Android to Wm7 on the Omnia (and how would I copy my contacts etc) and is it worth it?

I don't expect an answer to: is Android better than WM7 (nor is this the place for it) but has anyone else came from Android to WM7? Anyone prefer the Omnia over the Wildfire etc? Are there like for like apps between Android and WM7? Things like Task killer, utils, games etc

If I do use the Omnia is it worth upgrading (as per the great guides on here) and what version should I upgrade to?

I also notice that the links to the Samsung USB Driver/Flash utilities don't work any more, does anyone have a copy of they available to dl?

Appreciate I'm asking a lot here, any advise would be greatly received.

150% worth! omnia7 has one of the best SUPER amoled screens by far and is with 4" really perfect. htc wildfire :p are a VW Polo and Omnia7 are a Audi A4 :) All good apps and games has wp7 too and it works fast smooth with a pure and clear UI. and if you flash my mi7ROM you get a Full unlocked (root) OS with ability to install custom apps and improvements

look in my signature you will find my omnia7 rom and my online storage ....

Just to point out that it's not AMOLED Plus, it's just SuperAMOLED. Galaxy S2, Galaxy Tab 7.7 (the new one) and Galaxy Nexus are the top-tier devices for the moment utilizing Super AMOLED Plus display matrix. :)

Like i said to derik123derik123, i´ll try to put my toughts in a parcial way...

First of all, i´ve been always merging between iOS and Android,like them a lot, lived with it for years, all kinda of mobiles, jailbreakin, rootin,flashing custom, downgradin, even opening to change hardware parts...

Last year i had Motorola Atrix 4G and iPhone 4S, great ones, but without the opportunity to live with an oficial ICS ROm, i sold Atrix and in this January without jailbreak and tired of iOS, sold iPhone 4s....

Now, i had the opportunity and bought and Samsung Omnia 7...remember when you´re a kid and saw that toy in TV or Movie and when you got it sounds just more perfect then you could thought? When sounds that you will pass your entire life with it spending all minute just adoring it?

Well, i felt just like when started to use Omnia 7 with Mango 7.5, i really felt happier each time i scrolled my finger, the system is so fluid, so fast, so responsive, its beautiful, its simple, modern and intuitive, you dont have to dig its already there in your face.

For the first time i felt that my years with Droid and iPhones passed...Microsoft has now conquered me and surprised with an inteligent innovation, they just create something unique, there is nothing in their system that remebers Android or iOS, they have their identity.

I think that if you like the new, the unique and different, Windows Phone 7 it´s a new and beuatiful world to explore all time.
[Omnia 7 General] DavidJBrown:
Well I took your advice. I gave my Wildfire to the wife (Her G1 was getting a bit long in the tooth) and installed mirolg's excellent rom.

I'm now sat here with the Omnia running the mirolg unlocked rom and I'm impressed! Google/Facebook/Linkedin contact all came across and worked perfectly.

Yes the screen is very nice, must get some video to play on it. Just a few niggles though if anyone can help.

It would be nice to be able to turn on/off 3G, WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS from the start screen. I've installed toggle but it only does 3G and Wifi, anyone know of an app that does all 4?

Slightly annoyed that there is no SD slot to upgrade the capacity, I though most phones came with this these days.

On a much wider note are there any 'must have' apps or games on this device? What do you lot run and recommend?

Look forward to the replies!

[Omnia 7 General] DavidJBrown:
Thanks again for all the help! Supreme shortcuts is exactly what I wanted and I've installed most of the apps mentioned by the awesome mirolg.

Phone is now almost perfectly setup...........apart from Zune! For a start it's seems unnecessary as I was used to drag and drop on Android, but I can live with it.

What I can't live with is the way it won't copy a full album over! I have a lot of Audio Books, I do a lot of driving and I find them better than music.

They are all ID3 marked up and work fine on all other devices. I sync them up with the Omnia 7 and for some reason it copies over file 1,2, 5, 7, 8, 9, 11 etc!!

I really don't understand why it will not copy the FULL contents of the album, I've checked the tags, they are all good, all files are there and play on other devices, I have removed and re added the library, but no. It does not seem to work!

Also, a very strange thing. I fully charge the phone, connect Bluetooth in the car and the phone to USB to charge and by the end of my journey (6Hrs) the phone battery is nearly dead! I havn't used the phone for anything, 3g, Wifi, GPS all turmed off!

Any idea why the phone seems to discharge? I know the USB port on the Car Stereo is fine as I have used other phones with it.

Thanks again, I'd appreciate any advice!

Ass you all know, when Android runs out of free RAM (when free RAM is very low) it automatically kills processes (applications). Can I somehow make an application immune to this? I mean, can I make when Android runs out of free RAM to kill all other apps except the immune one?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
You can lower the OOM value either using an app (temporary) or using the V6 supercharger script. With script manager set the script that "bulletproofs" the app to run on boot. There's a ton of help on how to achieve this in the V6 thread.

Alright guys. Dsixda's kitchen has helped me a lot as I'm sure it has a lot of others... but its a little out dated and lacking a lot of newer developments... that's why I am here.

My name is Austin Conn and I am working on a new android rom kitchen... but I need help...

I am asking for users to post what they want in the kitchen. Throw up anything you can. Tweaks. Tools. Source. Whatever. Post a reply with your request and a link to the guide for it and I will look into it. Once I have the basic framework built, ill re update this op but I need ideas...

Thanks guys...

What language are you developing in? Are you going CLI again or GUI? I'm currently developing a wrapper-like assembly of the adb binary for .NET and going to distribute as a dll. Pm me, as I would like to help out on this project if you need the extra hands.

After a crap ton of research a GUI is NOT possible right now WITHOUT learning a new language. Also. Windows support does not look like a possibility either. Sorry guys. However i believe this will be an amazing tool.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ivoniko:
The Title says is it all. In my opinion it is better than Groove IP, give it a try and decide for yourself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonathan3579:
Looks like they've added some things since I last played with the alpha. Thanks! I'm surprised they're offering this free.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JosepiOT:
Saw that, been shopping around for a decent GV solution.

The delay is far less than grooveIP, was getting ~3-4 second delay with that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
That's awesome! I just checked out the Alpha just a bit ago, and it was so jenky I stopped using it.

Same experience here. I really liked GrooVe IP's integration into the native dialer though.

Overall I think this is a better solution when compared to GrooVe IP just because it has consistently better call quality in my experience. I'm not using VoIP for my main calling, but more as a supplement if I push my minutes, so call quality pretty much is all that matters.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] biggiestuff:
I'm going to try this out for a bit. Definitely liked GrooveIP's native dialer integration. Hopefully they can get this working in Talkatone as well. I had so many issues with groove ip over the 3g/4g.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JosepiOT:
More testing out of wifi saturation yielded a 2-3 second delay, switching over to a decent 3g signal was pretty much the same. Lots of compression artifacting as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] biggiestuff:
You can disable the SMS check but is there anyway to disable the gchat notification? I'd prefer to use google talk to chat to my online friends instead of talkatone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ivoniko:
It still freezes and closes when I try to send sms. Not every time but every second or third time.

Also can't turn the high quality compression for calls unless subscribed to Talkatone Premium which is not cool. Still a very good app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] biggiestuff:
DJ you guys have low volume from the other end? I can barely hear the other party.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonathan3579:
Well, I doubt I'll be subscribing to another VoIP provider since I already paid for GrooveIP and it's done it's job pretty well for me. (It recently had an update in the Amazon App Store that fixed a lot of issues I was having previously.)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Just use the Google Voice app for SMS with your GV#.

I don't ever see myself paying monthly/yearly for talkatone. That's kinda crazy... I'll keep it installed for the occasional call but I don't think I'll use any advanced features.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jpb39:
I've had no trouble sending SMSs (or having them delivered quickly) but the current app doesn't seem poll for incoming SMS, even when sending.
[Acer Iconia A500] sojibby:
Hello all,

I understand that to unbrick that a500 I need this file

acer_a500_0.000.00_1.122.01_emea_gen5_update.zip

however any link for this file points to either megaupload or filesonic - neither of which work anymore.

Does anyone have a copy of this file, or any other instruction on how to unbrick my device?

Details: I was running a rom with a custom kernel and got it into my head all I needed to do to restore it to stock would be to restore acer's recovery and flash the unstable 3.0.1 rom. Now I'm stuck with Acer's recovery and a boot loop at the boot animation.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Acer Iconia A500] drkalo:
If you have flashed the unstable 3.0.1 do a hard reset and reboot. It might fix it.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Let me guess. You increased to Max CPU, probably messed with the voltages, then selected "apply at boot"?

Ok, did you install the CWM Recovery that came with AcerRecovery when you first rooted? And then, make a system recovery backup before messing with kernels? Sounds like a no, or else it would have been easy to restore your backup copy after the boot-loop.

This may work for you like it did for the other guy;

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1506321

Note that you will have to decrypt the file, and get the update.zip from it. There is a tool listed there on Vache's thread listing for roms. It shouldn't need to be the exact Com_Gen version.

If that doesn't work, post back. We'll try something else.

Like this thread, method 2;

Thanks guys I will try these and get back to you
[Acer Iconia A500] sojibby:
So, the hard reset allowed my machine to boot, but then I got the setup screen asking for a password.

I hard reset the device again, saw the erase user data, etc and got the normal welcome screen.

Thanks very much guys!!

Incidentally Moscow, I think I may have played around with the GPU clock settings and forgot about them, but not the CPU. Yes I did use the CWM from Acer Recovery - which I used to restore Acer's recovery and flash downgrade_not_stable.

At any rate I am glad it's working again! You guys saved me a lot of grief!
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
No problem. Next time, install CWM or RA Revamped Recovery, and make a Recovery/nand backup before messing with them dirty kernels ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] sojibby:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SirGarry:
I have a caseen case on my Prime and the lid has magnets in it to keep it closed. Using the app Sensor List I noticed the magnetic sensor in the Prime reacted to the cover closing. So, I was thinking...:

Anyone know of an app that can turn the device off/on using the magnetic sensor?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] agentdr8:
Pretty sure that's built-in, as the keyboard dock has a magnet in it, and when you close it the screen goes off.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Turge:
Can you let me know where the magnet sensor is located on the tablet?

I moved a magnet around the screen and couldn't get it to turn off.

Thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] agentdr8:
It's located about 3" to the left from the upper right corner of the tablet (in the bezel area) while held horizontal and Asus logo right-side up. The problem is that the magnetic sensor only seems to work when the tablet is docked if you're on ICS.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Turge:
Thanks. I can confirm the same thing. It definitely doesn't work without the dock. I installed both Sensor List apps on the Market and couldn't find the sensor you're referring to. Can you let me know what app and sensor you were referring to? I'd like to look into this some more.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] zurui:
I thought it turned off because of a switch/sensor in the hinge. I'm still on honeycomb and it shuts off at a certain angle.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SirGarry:
You guys are confusing me... :confused:

I used the app Sensor List: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.miian.android.sensors

I have this case on my Prime: http://www.caseen.com/caseen-SKINNY...k-for-ASUS-Transformer-Prime-TF201_p_150.html

If I open and close the lid of the case, Sensor List will give me a graph that looks something like this:

The weird thing is the three variables (red, green, blue) will go back to different values from time to time. Sometimes they all go near 0 and sometimes they are all different and go to values like -200, 200 and 0. Right now the values are around: red 14, green -92, blue 17.

My magnetic sensor ain't there? And it still works even though the Prime isn't docked (which it can't be since I have a case on it)?

If you look at the picture, my magnetic sensor is at the top right corner.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Turge:
All I know is that when my Prime is docked, I can use a magnet to turn the screen on/off. This doesn't work once undocked.

I have searched for the problem on this forum, but can't seem to find one that matches.
[Kindle Fire General] pete_kowalski83:
Were you running cm7? It sounds like maybe you tried to boot into recovery from whichever Rom you were on. Meaning you held the power down and chose to boot to recovery and your stuck? Anyways we need more info
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
if you have twrp installed then you have fff - it's in one installation - the yellow triangle is fff

would boot to twrp (adb commands are available)

did the restore work without failures ?

if yes then change boot mode to normal:

"adb shell idme bootmode 4000" and

"adb reboot"

Bricked

I installed miui 4 now bricked. i used twrp recovery to do this and i made a backup . first i did a factory reset then wipe cache and dalvic cache then installed miui 4 the wiped dalvik/cache again, then rebooted and now it is stuck on the yellow triangle screen with the green light on. if i turn off and try to go to recovery the orange light just stays on instead of the green i think i have completely bricked it . also computer will not recognize kindle fire. Any Ideas?

---------- Post added at 08:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:33 PM ----------

i have also tried to leave plugged in use KFU to change boot to normal and recovery, and turned it off then back on and it will recognize it for the split second it takes to tell it to change boot but im still stuck at the same ****

---------- Post added at 09:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:45 PM ----------

ok so i had to use the kindle fire utility but first i had to plug it in turn off, then have kfu install latest twrp again when it says waiting for device turn on and it will reinstall that and get you back to the recovery. always be sure you have a backup and use that and done
[Kindle Fire General] powerpoint45:
this should help someone

I unbricked my kindle. Here is how I did it.this might not work for you.

1.Download kindle fire utility

2.Unzip kindle fire utility

3.To install the driver,its easy,just plug in your kindle, when it pops up with the install wizard say pick from the location of: KindleFireUtility>drivers>kindle 4.run kindle fire utility,select 1 then select 1 again

That's it, hope it helps someone like me
