[G1 Apps and Games] NguyenHuu:
is there an app that can automatically switch you from 2g to 3g and vice versa based on your locale? i know there is an app called "locale" that does location based stuff but it doesnt have any settings for 2g-3g, onyl for bluetooth and wifi.

at home, i would rather just use 2g for voice and wifi for data, dont need 3g at home. but when i leave the house i dont get wifi for data so it would be better to switch to 3g when out.

thanks if there's an app or setting to do this!
[G1 Apps and Games] kierant:
Just a +1 to kick this thread and demonstrate some interest in the subject!

My network (Orange / T-Mobile in the UK) has a serious problem with some of its 3G cells —*three of the ones nearest my home have frequent data drop-outs and wildly varying signal strength to the point that calls often drop. The network have been telling me for a year that they know about it. :(

So, I'd like to be able to switch to 2G either at a known location, or when connected to certain known cells — or even, with a clever app, to be able to force 2G whenever 3G signal quality is varying beyond a certain threshold...

I wanted to take a couple of the ROMs that I like and just add some files into the /system/media/audio folder so that the stock sound files for the ROM are plentiful... in order to do this, i can't just unzip a ROM, add the files I want, and flash... I would have to resign this ROM to a zip file and then flash it... any tips?

Hi, I rooted my mytouch 3g and installed a hero rom. However, it seems the hardware isn't up to par with the hero software and it seems a bit laggy. Anyway, I read somewhere that Jesusfreke roms are considered the most "stable." If I can install it, which ones can I use?

Also, if you think theres a better "stable" cupcake rom, please tell me! Thanks!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crxtasi:
I haven't seen Jesusfreke rom that are compatible with the myTouch but cyanogen is good too, check out his rom and check out the themes in the dream section. :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] enomther:
Want something as fast and stable as the JF.

Flash this ROM and PM me feedback.

It's not release yet, but 2-3 days it will be.

This is the same type of ROM as found in my thread at ...

I'm sure you'll be happy with this.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] a.kim:
Ill probably give the cyanogen try.

enomther, what exactly is this other rom.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] enomther:
like a JF, but new for dream and sapphire

Hey a.kim,

This ROM is aimed at using the Official T-Mobile binary release of the framework and apps, but with all the features a root user would typically want. (Pretty much like a JF build, but with some more built-in features)

For more info you could visit my thread in the Dream section ...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=538456

Essentially I have a new version v1.6.x that is on the brink of release that can run on the dream and sapphire (32B) hardware.

I've been giving out the pre-release version to those you desire.

If you are interested, you can PM me and I'll send you the link. Otherwise the official release will be in a day or two now.

I have been looking everywhere for the answer to this. D/L a bunch of stuff but nothing is working. I just installed the new 6.5 ROM for my T-Mo USA TP2 and I cannot find a way to unlock it so that I can run unsigned apps/cabs on it.

I have used search but I can't seem to locate the answer. Can anyone help?

[Touch HD General] Hookani:
Hi all,

Tried searching for this answer but couldn't find anything. Is there any other way to close programs/screens other than the 'ok' or 'x' icon in the top right corner. Having relatively small hands it's a little hard to reach that icon when holding the unit in my left hand which is how I predominantly work. With other units I was able to map other hardware buttons to close programs but the HD doesn't really have hardware buttons that you can map.

Thanks,

Ho'okani
[Touch HD General] scscc3:
If you're just looking to have the program out of view, or "running in the background", a press of the <- (back) key, or home key will suffice.

However, if you're looking to actually "close" the programs, I'm not really sure, but there's probably a third party app or a reg hack that can map one of the resistive buttons to close a program. Anyone have any ideas? :S
[Touch HD General] Hookani:
found that I can use AE Button Plus for this.

Ho'okani
[Touch HD General] forumx:
I use AEBPlus to assign the "Close" action to "Tripple" click of the up/down arrows. This way it is almost impossible to accidentally close an app.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Amorphous86:
So I am looking for the best games out there for the TyTAN II. I like action adventure, RPG's, and puzzle games any recomendations?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tinmanjo:
For an RPG you cant go wrong with "the Quest" by redshift it is really a great game and addictive as nuts. The only annyoing factor is they seem to have focused more attention to the iphone version and less to fixing some bugs in 1.04.

Also a great game is "broken sword", man this takes a whopping 120mb on your card but its all voice acted and a really puzzler of an adventure game.

Just go to handago, google is your best friend.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Rudegar:
there is an everquest for pocketpc

and also a iso hack'n'slash diablo clone

both are ok fun
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] freaknormel:
IM playing Sega, Snes, NES games on the tytn II works great !!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Amorphous86:
Guess i should have also mentioned...

FREE if possible... Let me hear what u think.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dancj:
If Free is what you want then go to this page which has a good selection of nifty puzzle games. I particularly like Rawalls and BoxUpPPC, but the others are good too.

Also I believe Fade and Exit Nights have been released into public domain. I haven't really tried Fade yet, but it's an adventure/rpg type game that looks quite good. Exit Nights is a great game where you build up a deck of cards (Magic the Gathering) to play a board game with them to win money. Once you've worked out the rules it's excellent.

[Dash 3G, Snap General] kansaskid72:
Anything out there yet? Trying to do the ICS fix to my registry and it's telling me ACCESS DENIED.

Also, is the Snap considered Maple or Willow?
[Dash 3G, Snap General] SoCalSpecialist:
i had the same freakin problem, the only difference is that i have a Ozone.

so what i did was i used the attached zip, i just followed the smartphone instructions and BAM worked like a charm.

and good question about the maple or willow..cause the Ozone is considered the "Cedar"...? why so many diff names ya know?

either way..try the attached zip, it might work for u too :)
[Dash 3G, Snap General] kansaskid72:
Closer! Now I can delete or change things in the registry, but after a reboot the changes reverse back to original!

Anyone know why this is?
[Dash 3G, Snap General] dougmwpsu:
I also have the Sprint HTC Snap and I'm trying to get ICS working.

What's the preferred program for editing your registry? Can we get a reprint here of which keys we need to modify?

Thanks in advance,

Doug
[Dash 3G, Snap General] dougmwpsu:
Hi, i think i've got a solution for this on the Sprint Snap. first of all, i'm using PHM Registry editor smartphone edition. google for this cab: regedit.Stngr_ARM.CAB

second of all, here's how to reprovision the security on the snap so you can edit the registry.

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...8c-d587-47e0-908b-09fee6ea517a&displaylang=en

install, and then install the tools.cab on your phone from the install directory, run the security configuration manager and connect your phone to your PC, then provision "security off", seems to work so far, and the values stick after a power cycle.
[Dash 3G, Snap General] dougmwpsu:
However, a word of warning. When changing or deleting the ForceCellConnection, the value will revert any changes you make after a power cycle and you will lose the connection selection box in the ICS app. this is the only reg value I've found that reverts. I get the feeling that sprint had some kind of script installed that keeps checking for and replacing this particular value.

Also, when using ICS on the "Sprint" setting, it throws an error message up at me and says i need to enter a user name and password. What's going on?
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] jiqqaman:
I know theres a theme suggestion thread sticked up on the forums, but I think this should posted here so it could get noticed more and get more feed back from everyone, because personally I dont think that thread get much attention base on the fact that I posted up my "Got Wood?" theme 2 days ago and it already has just as much views as the request thread. If not, then move it, its understood.

Ok, here is my "xda-dev" theme idea. (Nabzilla1990, this is no way of me trying to step over your theme, as seen as you already have a "community hero mix".

The whole purpose of this project/theme is to expand the selection of themes, but most importantly is to have fun with this project. Id like to see how a theme would come out looking if all theme developers joined together and created one theme from scratch. The way it would start is like this: (and this is just an example)

Let's say I started off, and I designed the application launcher tab. Once I'm done designing that, I'd post it up here on xda and someone else would call "next" and design lets say a wallpaper. Then once the wallpaper is done, the theme gets updated and posted again, and then someone else would call "next" and design the notification bar or whatever they want to do next. We'd keep doing this until we get a decent looking theme and we're all happy with it and then release itto the public.

I personally think this can turn out to be a great project/theme if everyone contributes. If anyone has any more ideas, suggestions on how we can improve the whole process of this project ,feel free to post up your reply.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] david1171:
i think this would actually be a great idea and a fun project, but who ever starts it should do the wallpaper so it can be easier to design everything else around it.

let me know what i can do and i will happily help out with this. if nothing else i am good for progress circles and bars colors
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] thegreatcity:
As long as every element works together it should be great. Especially if lets say someone could touch up pieces that someone else designed, and the community would then decide wether they like the changes.

Just some suggestions.

[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Genesis206:
I'm not the best at making these things from scratch, but I think a great place to start with be to ask manup is he can make an XDA wallpaper similar to his xROM; and have one in white and one black (maybe even a bronze). That'll give users and devs options.

Maybe I can find some icons later on in the project or something.

HTCSensorSDK.dll and some more.. there are some functions that looks like good for my use but i dont know how to ... :( i've found some gsensor examples that works fine for me with HTCSensorSDK.dll but nothing for zoomslider bar. and now back to my question: do you know any way to get slider zoom bar working in my app? any dlls, headers, samples, sdks would be appreciated.

I have a htc touch diamond from cellular south and i was wondering what type of custom roms would work on my device also i know for a fact the phone has gps but all things i try to use it on google maps etc just non stop search for the satelites. also i was wondering what type of free gps app i could use. thank you.
[Touch Diamond CDMA] trunkwontopen:
according to this wiki, they are on CDMA, so you are in the right place, but you might want to double check with a CellSth rep. So, any CDMA roms might work on your phone, but these are do-it-at-your-own-risk.

As far as GPS? I use and love Google Maps. I'm pretty sure others can say the same, but I have no idea what else is out there (besides the awful Sprint Navigation program) let alone what else is better than google maps.

hope that helps.
[Touch Diamond CDMA] fabrijack:
i have two cellular south diamonds both unlocked and running Energy Rom from the ppcgeeks site. It is an immense improvement over the stock rom. Make sure to read up and follow the unlock instructions before trying to upgrade.

To turn on your gps go to settings-phone-location services and enable it. Wait about 2 minutes and soft reset. It will take 2-5 minutes to lock the first time and lock in about 30 seconds after that.

With the Energy ROM it locks in about 7 seconds.

Enjoy!

Manilla 2.5 beta test
[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] ianken:
I've got both of these running. Did a road trip, switching between the two. I thought TeleNav was superior, but it was still inferior to the dated OEM nav in my CX9 as well as the Pioneer F500BT. And neither of these come close to Garmin or TomTom.

Telenav:

Better guidance, better UI but streaming maps are weak. Map update is slow and can really lag position at highway speeds on edge. Superior ease of use compared to CP8. Entering destinations and other common functions are pretty responsive.

Monthly fee blows. If maps were local and the fee was only for live services (and optional) it'd be pretty good.

Getting "press 0 for more info" on a traffic alert on my Mt3G was pretty damn weak. It was in a dash cradle, even if I HAD a slide out keyboard I would have been unable to view it.​

CoPilot:

Old maps, but LOCAL copies. Map update speed is good and more graphically pleasing to the eye than TeleNav. Horrible guidance. You cannot trust the voice. It has very limited voice. Here is the sum total of the voice guidance:

In (distance) (turn|keep) (left|right)

Just ahead (turn|keep) (left|right)

Turn (left|right)

Sometimes is lists "unnamed road" when it is a major, named road.

Sometimes it says turn (left|right) when such a turn is impossible.

No spoken road names.

"Live" part of CP8 is weather. Android has more weather apps than you can count, so this is not a useful feature. "Friends" features are pointless. Traffic is grayed out.

The UI is horribly laggy if UI button click sounds are enabled. Having a class 6 flash card can speed things up. Turn off the click sound and upgrade your flash card for better UI response and faster load time.

CP8 seems to use its own on-screen keyboard, as it does not follow system settings. It is frustrating to use. You end up repeatedly tapping the same button to get it to register. If you have your phone in a dash cradle, good luck interacting with the keyboard, even when safely stopped. You will pull it out and jab at it in frustration.

Entering a destination is very frustrating. You are expected to enter an address in a very specific manner. If you are used to other solutions where you can just blast the street address in there, get ready to be annoyed. You must follow the destination wizard exactly, using the aforementioned clunky keyboard.

The rest of the UI is a mess. A clutter of big ass square buttons you'll never use.​

I like using TeleNav more, but I am not fond of the fee. The remote map storage is retarded on a device like this. Local copy and upfront one time payment should be an option.

I'll be keeping CP8 because it kinda works and I paid for it. Will not continue with TeleNav after the trial.

Will pray for TomTom or some other solution for a real nav provider.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] lbcoder:
I use both copilot and tomtom. Or should I say I *used* to use tomtom. There's not much difference between them at all. I find that the tomtom maps are incredibly inaccurate with many MANY missing roads and/or road names.

Also, your analysis of the voices is inaccurate and misleading. There are MANY more voice commands it is capable of. http://www.alk.com/copilot/create_voice.asp?cp_newsletter=navigator0906

-- you should also update to the latest version as it has many performance improvements (including voice responsiveness) as compared to the earlier versions.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] MontAlbert:
apparently the CEO of tomtom the other day said that android will not be ignored.... so maybe 6months i reckon there will be android version of tomtom....

[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] ianken:
I'm running the latest version. However, I have yet to hear any guidance other than the few I posted, but I did forget the "bear" right or left. I posted what I have heard other than "you have reached your destination."

My point is this: lacking actual street names is pretty weak. When you're in a big furball of traffic and in a complicated interchange "next exit" or "ahead" is not precise enough.

As to perf: yes, it is OK as long as button sounds are OFF and you have a fast flash card. I still contend the onscreen keyboard is horribly unresponsive compared to the normal one used by other apps.

Guidance is timely with CP8. I know they fixed that particular bug a while ago.

If they had street names as part of the guidance and a cleaner UI with a more responsive keyboard I think it'd be OK.
