Pointless anyway. You won't get true 1080p recording on the Atrix until Moto gives it to us. All you will get is psuedo 1080p which is worse quality than the standard 720p. Frame rates are too low and video quality is overall sub-standard. This has been proven several times already.

Hi. Quick question, if i just root my phone (and don't use any other roms etc) then can i still receive the updates from HTC Or carrier?

Thanks
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bogfather:
From what I understand as long as your using stock rom you will still get the updates but you will lose root
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stumpyz9:
You still can. If you get superSU premium there is an option to try to keep root after an ota. I would try that if you would like to keep root.

How do you guys recon sense 3.6 will change the performance on the XL? Do you think we'll see any improvements regarding smoothness? How will multi tasking perform?
[HTC Sensation XL] MadCobbler:
We already have sense 3.6 go to development section and check out Zombi.e Sandwich or Ice Cold Zombi.e, both have sense 3.6...
[HTC Sensation XL] G-XtremE:
Hello, thanks for your reply. I do not want to flash my phone. I want to keep things stock. So? Any improvements in 3.6?
[HTC Sensation XL] kaptrein:
Why do you ask if there is any changes if you dont want it ?
[HTC Sensation XL] G-XtremE:
Because xl is scheduled for ics during the next weeks and I've been offered a trade with a galaxy nexus and I'm unsure whether I should accept the offer or wait for the official release and see a major improvement performance wise. So far I'm not impressed with the current smoothness as I often witness lag during home screen transition and sense restarts when pressing the home button when browsing or gaming.

Question..

Im using HTC Evo 4G+ (HTC Rider) I would just want to know if my device will get the following updates:

1. Android 4.0 ICS

2. HTC Sense 3.6 or 4.0

Because i'm currently running on Android 2.3.6 and HTC Sense 3.5.

I hope you could answer my questions and thanks in advance :)

Hi XDA!

I realise that I'm new here, so I may not get listened to, but I've been using smartphones for a while and this has always been an annoyance for me.

Currently, my internal storage (internal sd as some like to call it), is full of config, backup and other files placed there by app developers. I have a folder called AussieWeatherRadar, one called Cut the Rope, and one called rammanager, just to name a few.

As I have a bit of OCD, I like to keep my internal memory looking tidy, but how is this possible with so many folders, none of which conform to any particular standards?

I am suggesting the following: App developers should use the /apps/ folder, or a similar folder on the sd card to store their data. This way, the user's SD card does not look cluttered, but the data is all still there.

So please, app developers, here my plea! Please use the /app/ directory!

Do you have any comments or suggestions on this? Please comment!

Thanks,

John

TL;DR: App developers should use the sdcard/app/ folder for their junk/config/backup files so that sdcard/ looks tidy.

Developers *HAVE* a default location to place their data if they need to store in external storage. Google dictates for it to be in /sdcard/Android/data

I have made an app that creates in terms an init.d script that auto removes these folders on boot, but that doesn't solve the problem.

Developers wanting to promote their apps create folders with, honestly nothing in them, to show off.

I have created a Google Docs document that I will share tomorrow with the apps I have installed on my phone that create an sdcard folder. Perhaps you could help improve that list.

One afternoon in last December I had emailed all those app developers about this. Do you know how many answers I received to about 10 emails? None..

We should all organize a massive email sendout to them again. After all its their own fault for not sticking to Android guidelines.

Check out evernote... multiple ways to get documents in, retreivable from any device, editable, sortable. Might be a good solution for you.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeromepearce:
Evernote too

I agree, Evernote would be my suggestion. The possibilities are huge for categorising and tagging, and searching power is awesome. You can even use a PC (and Mac?) application to read notes synced to their cloud service.

I use it to store all my files too. Mainly because it allows me to edit the file directly, and saving updates the file, and you can add comments in the note to describe the file and things you have done / need to do the file(s). You can even share notes with others.

Some of that requires a paid account, but you can probably do most of what you want with a free account, I think.

---------- Post added at 01:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:00 PM ----------

Oh, and you can use Skitch. It works seamlessly with Evernote. With that you can make notes just like using a notepad. The S-Pen makes Skitch wonderful

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] papadawgg:
Hello,

I would like to know, how its is possible to find, for example the file core/java/android/view/Surface.java .

Sorry for that noob question, but I am really interested in Android Software Developement and when I look at the github-profiles of others I always find those directories and files, I do not find on my system.

I tried using the baksmali tool and baksmalied my framework.jar . Then I found the file /framework/android/view/surface.smali but there are mostly completely different commands, so I think, there must be another tool that can edit the framework.jar in another way.

I would be very thankful for help.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] netwokz:
AFAIK, what your looking for is in source, so once a build is compiled, you will not find that file(or folder structure). When you decompile framework.jar, you will find mostly smali files, which makes looking at the code give me headaches...

What are you trying to do? Is this for ICS or GB? and have you looked into setting up a repo on your computer? If you set one up, you will then find all the java source files you are looking for, but then you must compile the files you edit.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] papadawgg:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nicuu:
Hello, guys.

I want back to stock because of service reasons. I have cyanogenmod 3.7.0, android version 2.3.6

Now I downloaded the file (6.5 update) from HTC sites, and I'm curious about few things. The file contain 210 mb or so, and on my HTC I have 199 mb left on the internal memory - could this occure any problems regarding the install?

Also, I downloaded Minitool partition wizzard program to delete all partitions on my SD card and return back to FAT32.

Is this a hard task? Please, I really need help!!

Also after all this has been done, should I turn off the phone, hold volume down button and power on and get into boot mode, plug in USB, wait for USB-recognision, and then just run the file I downloaded from HTC?

Please help!!

#thanks to tmihai20 for help!

I'm facing same problem and it's very irritating. I originally flashed xxlpq and did a full wipe and factory reset, within 2 days this problem started..

Can someone point out a solution to this freezing except rebooting because to restart every time i want to connect to wifi is a headache..

Thanks.. :-)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Anderson:
I have the same issue also.

Mine is a stock ICS 4.03 official over-the-air download (my phone originated in Poland so I have access to the official release), rooted with CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-v5.4-CWM5.

The wifi is not frozen as such. It just takes about five minutes to connect so it looks for all the world like it is frozen. I tried deleting all my saved wifi keys and switched on/off several times which worked okay, so I thought I might have fixed it. Sadly today the problem returned. :(

I'm wondering if returning to the official stock kernel might resolve the issue.

If I return to the official stock kernel will I lose the root, or will it stay? The rooting method I used on the older firmware allowed me to return to the stock kernel whilst retaining access to the root, but I've not seen anything indicating whether or not this will work using the rooting method above.

Apologies if this is a n00b question - I'm still an Android novice... :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ankurprime:
Ok.. Maybe i found a solution.

Dial *#1234# and see your PDA version. For example, I'm rooted and my PDA is XXLPQ and since i was rooted i flashed a separate kernel to remove the yellow triangle, hence CWM menu showed kernel version: unknown. I tried different kernels like stock LP2, LP3 etc but the wifi problem persisted. I read somewhere that kernel is responsible for wifi drivers. Ultimately, i flashed LPQ kernel (CF root 5.4), and now the wifi works perfect, even after extended periods when i try to reconnect. Also my CWM manager properly shows My kernel version.

So line is, flash the proper kernel and wifi should work.

In fact, factory reset didn't work for me. But for those SGS2 owners who are not afraid of using a custom kernel, there may be a solution. It seems that the problem was fixed on SiyahKernel v3.1rc2 and above. I'm using it for the last three days and the problem does not occur anymore.

Changelog:

removed 1600MHz and 100MHz steps

I'm having this issue since I have updated to ICS Official through KIES and the special fact that a few days ago when I was going to my work, I forgot the Wifi powered On. lol

I have noted that it always occur when I don't use Wifi for a few hours, then when I try to activate it, it freezes and the only solution is take off the battery. My suggestions are:

1) Before activate Wifi, Reload the wifi driver typing *#*#526#*#* (source: hxxp://androidadvices.com/fix-android-wifi-problems-connection-issues).

2) If it doesn't work Restart the phone before activate it.

3) Try some custom kernel (Siyah, N.E.A.K. and etc) .

Btw, Factory reset doesn't fix it.

Maybe switching Wifi Sleep policy to "only when conected" in "Settings > Wifi > Advanced can be a workaround too. I'm trying this now and will keep you informed. :p

Exactly! I've tried almost all the offcial fw <<with full wipes evrytime, even USB storage wipe! had to reinstall from backup 4 times in 5 days.. frustating!>> and was getting that annoying bug everytime, until i was on XWLP4. Bug was still there but switching airplane mode on/off worked on it and i managed to put a uptime of 150 hrs on my phone without having to restart.

Then i flashed CF Root LPS and airplane mode on/off wasn't working anymore.

Not wanting to live with that bug anymore, i wiped everything again one final time and reflashed stock LP4. Bug is still there but it now goes on 4 days without any freeze, then it freezes and i have to restart again and now again its working for 3 days in a row. Atleast its not as frustating as restating every 12 hrs. -- And that was what i did for last 15 days!

Haven't tried Siyah kernel yet, some report its working and some not. I'm tired of flashing now. ;)
