[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
It looks fantastic, but it's slow as ****. No offense to the devs... I'm sure they've done wonders with Hero to get it running as smoothly as it does, lol.

I'm back to xROM v1.5r3 now (gotta love nandroid backups), and am much more grateful for the speed in this ROM. :)

Thanks, I just followed your suggestion. The phone started resynching on it's own after a few seconds. It too a couple minutes for it to synch (over wifi, believe it or not). Hopefully that's normal, but we'll see if it keeps everything synched now.
[G1 Android Development] saprano614:
any word on the release of r5? I hope it gets rid of the lock screen and gives me back some battery life.
[G1 Android Development] Auctionedllama:
At what version did he add the lockscreen battery status? I'm going to download the one right before he added that.
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
Don't you read recent posts before asking questions? Cuz you should.

v1.4 didn't have the lockscreen... so flash to the latest version of that one if you want. I have to say though, I've had every version of the xROM... v1.5 is much nicer than v1.4. I'm not experiencing the same problems that most others are though.
[G1 Android Development] shafty023:
lockscreen

Still haven't found that darn lockscreen in the r1.5r3 release so I can pull it out. Anyone know where it's located? I'm guessing since it's not in an apk file then it must be buried in one of the framework files.

[EDIT]

Nevermind I finally found the darn lockscreen. It's buried in framework-res.apk , framework.jar , services.jar, android.policy.jar . Good lord why couldn't Google just put it in a freakin apk. Ok off to hacking I go now
[G1 Android Development] Auctionedllama:
I think the lockscreen would be sweet if they fixed the battery status so it would only update when the screen is active. Also, does the message button on the lockscreen work for anyone else? Because when I hit it, nothing happens.
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
We've answered that question already... the Music and Messaging are still works in progress. When Stericson gets them working, they'll be included in the ROM.
[G1 Android Development] Auctionedllama:
I just flashed this rom an hour ago and love it. But I think I would like to see more hero widgets and apps ported to this. Personally, I love the twitter widget on hero, its awesome. And maybe the weather widget also? Those two would probably run pretty smoothly. And I'm not real big app pull-out bar. Something better should be done instead of an arrow in the corner. Maybe make a rectangular thin box that says applications that has a slight curve. Would look better IMO.
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
Go away and search so that you understand the stupidity of your post. Then come back when you can make a meaningful contribution to this thread.
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
Bravo. 12 chars. Goddamnit almost 10 lmao.
[G1 Android Development] shafty023:
What other people are trying to tell you is the Hero widgets were built on the Rosie Launcher which is a completely different Launcher than what we're using. It's rooted around the htc framework AND major changes to the standard Android framework files (/system/framework) . Since we don't have access to the HTC version of the android source it's not possible to port ANY htc widgets.

The only thing we can port is certain apps that ONLY rely on the htc framework files and nothing in the modified Hero framework files

Hi guys!

i'm using mobile wifi router on my kaiser, and it works if an Omnia or my netbook try to connect to my htc.

But if i try to use the psp, or the ps3, it doesn't work... why?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
I'm not sure about the PS3, but I know that my PSP doesn't "see" Ad-Hoc Wi-Fi connections, which is what the HTC mobile Wi-Fi router uses.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 281:
I have a g1 which is rooted, it is running dark hero theme with cyanogen 3.6.8.1 and it says android dev 1 phone. i was wondering if my phone was unlocked i heard about this is this true because im giving my g1 to my friend and he has at&t.

btw it has haykuros special spl
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
No it won't be unlocked, AFAIK neither the firmware are SPL can affect the unlock. You will need to buy an unlock from a website that will take your IMEI and generate the code. Either that or tell tmo you're leaving the country and you want to use a local sim, it should come within 2 weeks.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 281:
Oh but earlier i read that having the eng bootloader/spl will have the phone unlocked, it is used as android dev phone and it is flashed to the g1 to be unlocked it makes sense right?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jashsu:
The bootloader/spl has

nothing

to do with the SIM lock. As above poster said, unless your phone came SIM unlocked (and if it is a T-Mobile G1 then it is SIM locked) you will either have to get an SIM unlock code from T-Mo (very easy) or buy one online.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 281:
ok thanks just wondering
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jad011:
like in previous posts you can call t mobile and they will unlock it. for Free:D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
lol i can see where you get the confusion though, but it is NOT unlocked. A tmobile rep told me to root the phone and it would unlock it, but the lock is actually deeper than the SPL and nand flash
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nekrosoft13:
I know that Touch Pro2 price on t-mo has not been annouced.

I have been with t-mobile for 2 years, so my contract expires anyday now.

I was wondering about upgrade pricing, are the upgrade prices usually the same as for new customers? or do they try to rip off their current customers?

also my plan with t-mobile is a family plan, two phones. Can both phones be upgraded? or is the upgrade only for one phone? One phone will be upgraded to TP2, other to something more compact.

Last question, when doing upgrade, you don't have to return old phones?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] poetryrocksalot:
299.99 For the Phone... Data Plan Required for Two Years.

Not sure about discounts.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nekrosoft13:
where did you find that price? I was searching few minutes ago, and i found this

http://www.phonenews.com/t-mobile-to-launch-htc-touch-pro-2-on-august-12th-8538/

199 with 2 year + data
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Supertrooper:
No you don't return you old phones and you can upgrade both phones to whatever you want.

I don't like the way they have made it to where people have to get the data plan for upgrades. They started that crap with the release of the G1. Even though I have a data plan, doesn't mean everyone wants it or needs it. Just another way for these networks to make more $$$..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] crazy talk:
this is what i have seen in many places as well.

where did you get the 299 poetry?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] poetryrocksalot:
T-Mobile Reps said they don't know it could be from 250 to 300.

3G Required No Matter What.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] josh_prayyforplagues:
You can check over at TmoNews.com. I read around on a couple on different sites, and the most consistent price estimate I've seen is 299.99 on a 2-year contract. Or 349.99 on a 1-year. aanndd I don't think 3G is required. :]. The data plan is for sure, though. I got to preview the Touch Pro2 and all its goodness at my local Tmo store. I asked the Rep about the data plan, and he confirmed it is required.

In my opinion, it's well worth it. I might have to sell my Shadow and possibly my G1 for the Touch Pro2. When you're 17 and work at a theme park, money doesn't always go too far. Gonna be a shame to see my G1 go. I've taken a liking to Android, but it's no competition for the Touch Pro2. Gotta do what you gotta do. Anyways, there's my two cents.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] galaxys:
^ agree that these prices from the tmobile blog are about as good as it gets for this awesome ppc! Let us know if anyone hears about any pre-orders!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] poetryrocksalot:
Anyone want to bet that the price will be over 250?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] BlackAccord:
price is going to be $299.99 w/ 2yr, each phone line is eligible for a full discount upgrade after 22 months and the data can be taken off after 90 days with out any contract complications (its been done with the g1 multiple times)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] poetryrocksalot:
BlackAccord...when you say full discount... do you mean that if you are a special long-term client, you can get the phone for free?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] BlackAccord:
no, i mean the 2 year contract price, the same price you would pay if you were a new customer... in really rare cases customer care is able to take off 5-10% the 2 year price but that is really rare
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dwny:
Correct

Not anymore

All data or All-in-One devices REQUIRE a data plan of either $24.99 or $34.99 and it's CONTRACTED! Even if you decide to use another device that doesn't require data, the data plan can not be removed.

The ONLY way to get around the data plan is to pay full retail for the device and that goes for any device. (Effective as of 06-03-2009)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] petard:
Thats crap! I hope AT&T doesn't start that BS or I'm going to have to start paying ridiculous amounts for my phones on eBay! Why doesn't stupid HTC put all the bands in at once? Why DONT they want people importing them? I'm sure they make more profit on the unbranded ones AND they don't have to warranty imports.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Loccy:
I've just installed compcache on my Cyanogen ROM, and preliminary farting around gives me the impression "this is frelling epic". I can have some big apps running, all at once, flick between them without reloads, and go back to the home screen instantly.

So here's the question: why is the ext2 partition needed? If compcache does it magic by creating a ramdisk that has compression enabled, and then using that for swap, why does it need any changes to your SD card at all? (I've made the changes, I have my ext2 partition - I'd just like to understand WHY).

Also, has anyone done any empirical testing on battery life with compcache versus swappper? My gut feeling (although this is not based on any proper analysis) is that swapper has made my battery take a real nose-dive, and I've seen people on the Dream boards say compcache has the same or worse effect. How are people finding it on their Magics?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Gimpeh:
I have had swapper for a while and it does not appear to have any effect on my battery thus far. I've heard of people running both compcache and swapper. Is there a good tutorial out there on setting compcache up? The one I found was kinda outdated and listed support roms that were WAY outdated. I wouldn't mind trying both in conjunction with each other.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Loccy:
I found this over in the Dream forums

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=537236

but it does presuppose that you're running Cyanogen.

I've actually bumped up my "swap" with Compcache to 64Mb. Rationale is that the Dream has less RAM than we do (even us poor relation 32B RAM-cripped Magic owners). Loaded Google Mail, Exchange Mail, Pacman, Teeter, and loaded up icanhascheezburger.com on the browser (the latter usually being a sure-fire way of prompting a pause for reloading when going back to the home screen). There was no more than half a second delay switching from app to app once they'd all loaded and they all seemed to stay in memory rather than the oldest one used dropping out and needing a reload. If the battery life holds up I'm very pleased.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Gimpeh:
Just to verify, Swapper is for using a swap on a SD while Compcache utilizes space on the built in ram for a swap. Is this correct?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Loccy:
As I understand it, yes. So basically Compcache will grab (say) 32Mb of your RAM and uses it as swap. Which would make no sense (because why would you swap to RAM - just use the RAM as RAM!) except Compcache compresses what gets swapped. Your 32Mb thus becomes 96Mb or more (I'm seeing compression factors of 70-odd %). What I don't personally get is why Compcache needs an ext2 (linux) partition on your SD card.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] elmalote:
When activating the WiFi in the new versions of the CommManager, it pops up with a list of networks which you have to exit again, any way to make it stop doing that?

I've noticed it does this in the cooked ROMs using newer CommManager..

Thanks..
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] peterbonge:
That's not a feature of a new ROM. The original CommManager also does this. You have to click on the symbol on the right side to switch on WIFI without a dialog.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] elmalote:
Thanks for your reply.

Thats also what I'm doing and always have been doing, but it still pops up. But only with cooked roms :confused:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] peterbonge:
OK, then it is a problem of the ROM.

By the way: I'm rarely using the CommManager to switch WIFI. Normally I'm using Wifi Monster:

[Hero, G2 Touch General] DaanJordaan:
Hello dear Hero users,

I'm thinking of buying this beauty in the near future, but i was wondering if it's possible to disable the sense user interface. This is because i'm a bit sceptical, my current device is the Diamond and I must say that i'm not really a fan of the Touch Flo UI

Thanks in advance,

DaanJordaan
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Switchbitch:
It is indeed possible.

Settings> Applications> Manage Applications> TouchFLO> Remove Defaults

Then when you press the home key, you will be given a choice of TouchFLO homescreen or the default Android homescreen. Choose the default homescreen, and select this as default. Then using taskiller or whatever, turn off the TouchFLO interface.

You'll then be taken back to the Android homescreen each time you press the home key instead of the HTC Sense UI.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] elcom:
Just a litlle FYI.

I also have both the Diamond and now the Hero.

Sense UI is so much more user friendly and smooth than touchflo3d.

Sense UI is much better and is simply a joy to use.

IMHO.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Switchbitch:
I agree. Once you've used the Sense UI, you won't want to turn it off.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] liamhere:
IMO

the Sence UI is what TF3D on the Diamond should have been and done

i love it!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] The Jones:
Just to add to this, I moved from the Diamond to the Hero. There is simply no comparison. Sense just works. Simple.

The level of customisation available is pretty amazing as well - there are loads of widgets in the Market as well to make it even more customised.

My main complaint with TF3D was the performance (it was pretty poor). Sense does not have any issues like that for me at least.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] DaanJordaan:
Thanks

Exactly Touch Flo is nice for a while, but eventually you start to notice the slow response, glitches, etc.

Very nice to hear that sense is smoother, just two more months and i'll be a proud owner of a Hero.

Thanks a lot guys,

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] wavetheory:
I bought and downloaded Advanced Task Manager for my myTouch (thanks t-mobile for the crappy name) and noticed an app called "Contacts and myFaves". I force closed it and it freed up about 20mb of memory on the phone. I have no need for the app, so I tried to uninstall it but the phone wouldn't allow it. I'm assuming it's because I don't have root privileges. Has anyone else come across this? Does anyone know of a way to force uninstall it?
