[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
The performance improvement claims would be in favor of Haykuro SPL, but there is no real gain. The only reason this was claimed was because there was more space to store stuff (the same way a bigger harddrive speeds up the computer because theres more space to store things. there should actually be no performance difference)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thenameismax:
I have been running Cyanogens Roms since I have rooted my phone

I dont even remember what spl I used. My fastboot looks like this http://twitpic.com/tmwtn (I found this pic on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=589344)

I want to use/try out this rom

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=592466

which requires the Danger SPL.

From what I have read here the DangerSPL and EngineerSPL are the same,

Is it safe to say I can flash this ROM?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billquinn1:
If yours says "1.33.2005 (DREA10000)" then you have the "danger" spl. I wish some one would put a better explanation of this at the top of each forum so people would be able to figure this out. Just a sticky with how to fire up the fastboot screen and a list of the possible spls and radios. Maybe I'll work on the list.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omokas:
I want to copy into the MoDaCo's ROM 2.8 the original files from system/media/bootscreen so I can have the original with sound :)

The only problem is that I tried to mount the /system folder and it says "mount: cannot read /etc/fstab : No such file or directory".

The progress flashing my phone went just fine but this command does not work.

Is there a way to FIX and make the /system/media/bootscreen folder to have read/write permitions ?

EDIT : Figured it out :)

I opened cmd and went to C:\SDK\tools

Then in cmd i wrote:

"adb shell"

"mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system"

"adb push boot.gif /system/media/bootscreen"

"adb push boot2.gif /system/media/bootscreen"

"adb push boot_bg.gif /system/media/bootscreen"

"adb push boot.mp3 /system/media/bootscreen"

"adb push boot_animation.xml /system/media/bootscreen"

Of course if you want to do the same just remove the " " from the commands :)

Download the original bootscreen files from here and put them into the SDK/tools folder.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendong2:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /system

does the trick, no need to specify filesystem or device, as it is already mounted. when you are done you should do a

adb shell mount -o remount,ro /system

to have it mounted ro again. btw, you only need to exchange boot_animation.xml, the sound is still there, it is just deactivated. and you could have used the update.zip that paul made for this purpose, it is in the first post of his thread... but this way you learned something, so even better ;)

Hi to all of those Leo owners.

Is it true that there is no stylus with the Leo?

I have large fingers and the built in stylus (eg like that of the Diamond2) is a must.

And there is no second camera for video calling?

I also use this feature and it is not on this phone.

I know many are saying the Leo is a great phone but without these 2 features it seems sadly lacking.

It would be nice if it also came with an 8 megapixel or more camera.

What do you guys think?

Aussie :)
[HD2 General] 20mihalko:
just shut up, and don`t buy it, and never ever visit this part of xda ok?
[HD2 General] bR00k:
Hey,

jep thats correct ... no stylus and no second video cam for conference calls.

but there was a link for an stylus on the web, that can used with the capacitive screen.

regards
[HD2 General] Dr.Sid:
I don't care about video calls and I WANT device with capacitive (and large) screen. So HD2 is simply exactly what I want. If it is not for you, I agree with previous poster, even if I don't approve on his style. :cool:
[HD2 General] MadBastard:
...lol... ^^
[HD2 General] madindehead:
To be fair, read the specs. It tells you EXACTLY what you need to know. There are enough reviews of the device out now, to know exactly what it has.
[HD2 General] ricoo25:
There is no use for a stylus with a capacitive screen. The only thing that you are really giving up is the ability to use notepad, which I use quite a bit.

As for the second camera... it would be nice, but oh well
[HD2 General] aussie1234:
Thanks for the feedback

Hi again

Thanks for the constructive feedback. The other feedback just shows how anal some of you are.

Some sellers in my country sell the Leo with a stylus. But the specs and reviews say there is none. Scouring the net shows a few expressing their disappointment with the lack of stylus which helps with apps that require precision tapping or touching (eg Spreadsheets, games etc) or for those who just have large fingers.

Perhaps those who have told me to just "shut up" and not to "visit xda" should follow their own advice if they have nothing constructive to add.

Dont forget to burp your Leo.

Cheers

Aussie :)
[HD2 General] Chainfire:
Just ignore 'em.

My Leo didn't come with a stylus, and it doesn't have video call either. I too have large fingers so I am a bit annoyed, but I'll live :)
[HD2 General] aussie1234:
Thank you

Thanks for the feedback.

How is the smoothness and precision when navigating around the phone without a stylus?

I have used the iphone and found that very smooth. Is the Leo also as easy?

Cheers

Aussie :)
[HD2 General] Chainfire:
I don't have an iPhone so it's hard to compare. I do have an iPod which I have used an awesome 3 times. Compared to what I remember, it's control is a bit better. The Leo screen is very sensitive. Looking at it almost makes stuff happen ;) There's a fix that lowers the sensitivity around here though, but I have not tried that out yet. As it is, without fix, typing accurately is a real pain. I would have much prefered if it had came with a capacitive stylus, as HTC does make those...
[HD2 General] mskip:
Someone should really make a thought control program for the HD2 then there would be no need for fingers or styluses at all :p

The capacative styluses on ebay are very competant especially for hand written notes or navigating around windows explorers. I wouldnt advise trimming them down though as I decided to do one night to see if a more precise point could be made, I guess the styluses need a certain surface area making contact with the screen which is probably why they are made like that HAHA.

Ohh well at least I have 1 left which works well on my ipod touch so it should be fine with my HD2.. IF IT EVER ARRIVES!! :D
[HD2 General] 20mihalko:
that control program is allready made, you can enable pinch to zoom in every application, so if you have problems tapping on some small button, you can zoom in... it is pretty usefull, but i never used it for example in explorer... i don`t have any problems clicking anywhere :)
[HD2 General] Som30ne:
The lack of stylus is a bit of a problem (Especially considering the fact I use many spreadsheet files).

The more problematic thing is that HTC has developed a stylus for capacitive screens,

but do not include it with the device that should be their Flag-Ship device.

The lack of stylus results the keyboard size to be huge eating up a lot of screen space,

instead of including a stylus and letting the user choose wheter to use it or not,

and allowing the user to set the keyboard size to his pereferenced size.

Now - there are several "capacitive screen" styli out there that might work just fine

so there is a solution - but - I would have expected that HTC would supply a stylus,

especially when thay have already designed one.
[HD2 General] mr_Ray:
Brutal, funny, but oh so valid.

How hard is it to read the specs? Or a review? Or.. anything?

BTW is it true it has a capactive screen????!?! Thought I'd ask cos last 29 posts asking this might have been wrong!!!1!!!111!
[HD2 General] Chainfire:
Apparently, it's rather hard.
[HD2 General] mr_Ray:
Wow what are you, some kind of stalker?

FWIW there's a difference between researching a company who you want to do nothing more than put a label on a box and give it to the postman vs. a £500 device you'll be living with every day for a year or two.
[HD2 General] Jackuuuuu:
It would be interesting to see how the future goes with the competition between Capacitive and Resistive screens. Software developers either code them all under one roof (I'm not a developer, so I'm not sure how hard!!!) or have different versions (meaning more works and costly). Because the new WM 6.5.x are very Capacitive screen friendly. M$ did a good job on the cosmetics and it's functions!
[HD2 General] mskip:
FWIW anyone that is willing to part with £500 for a phone or anything else should be thoroughly researching every aspect of what they are buying including the company that is making it. If anything, researching the company is more important than all else as it gives insight as to build quality, customer support, future updates and fixes for what you are buying.

Even though HTC has many failings with regards to drivers and customer support I am still more than excited to get the HD2 as soon as I can, not just because the Hardware spec is the best available in todays phones but mainly because I know the dedicated members of xda-developers (which I am proud to be a part of) wont rest until the HTC HD2's full potential is unocked for the benefit of everyone.
[HD2 General] mskip:
I believe the future of Mobile Phones is capacitive screens whether people like it or not. All the major manufactures will start phasing out resistive screens in favour of capacitive technology due to the faster and more responsive feel of it. Styluses will also be phased out as Windows Mobile 7 and other 3rd party apps will have larger and more finger friendly buttons and menus.
[HD2 General] erik.alphenaar:
Almost all of my previous devices have had stylusses, and the occasional keyboard , but I'd have to say that I can easily manage without.

It's true that such a large on-screen keyboard takes up almost 40/50% of the screen in portrait, but that leaves you with over 400px of screen, which is more than the average device has alltogether :)

And, like mentioned earlier, pinch-to-zoom makes the stylus obsolete while browsing in my opinion..
[HD2 General] Chainfire:
There's actually no difference code-wise (unless you want to support multi-touch), it's largely only a design issue. Make your buttons large enough etc.

"Designing" for resistive does not mean it isn't finger friendly.
[HD2 General] 20mihalko:
but there is lack of stylus... i can`t push red reset button with my fingers :D so i need to find nearest pen :D
[HD2 General] aussie1234:
Specs vs Usage

Hi

Reading the "specs" is one thing but asking owners for first hand experience is another. Just because the specs say the phone has it doesnt mean to say it does well or consistently. A capacitive screen 'spec' doesnt mean that the sensitivity and precision of ones finger is better than a stylus (resistive).

And review sites sometimes offer conflicting views and often do not base their writeups on days worth of use. So better to ask an owner for their thoughts.

If we just went by specs and were happy with them (and understood them fully) then we wouldn't need an www.xda-developers.com now would we!!!

Cheers

Aussie :)
[HD2 General] Jackuuuuu:
Ah ic! Thanks for the sharing :)

I guess developers like yourself can implement similar UI/design like the new 6.5.x. Like when want to select on an options, it will further brings out a new larger finger friendly window, like those in iPhones! The only problems we have now is current softwares in the need of a stylus!!!
[HD2 General] Jackuuuuu:
I feel your pain, especially testing custom roms when Hardspl is out, random hangs will be very frequent!

But I would just remove the battery out to reset!
[HD2 General] mr_Ray:
I was talking about the shop - the midddleman who takes stock from HTC, puts my address on a label and hands in back to the postman, not HTC theirselves. ;)

But you're right in what you say, the manufacturing company is as important as the specific device. HTC sure have their problems, as does every other company. We all know that official support will be dropped in 12 months as if it was a red-headed stepchild. the quality hacker community surrounding the devices (and the unofficial acknowledgement of it from HTC) makes up for it. the second that door closes, I'm sure many who have repeatedly purchased HTC will move on, regardless of specific devices.
[HD2 General] erik.alphenaar:
Exactly ;)

Should do the trick just fine...

I've had the update installed a few weeks now and I'm finding there's a definate delay when trying to open a program or changing to another screen, sometimes I may have album open then i check the calendar, and then try to go back to the home page and it freezes for a few seconds while it waits to catch up. When I start a new sms there's a delay while it brings up a new black sms screen, then I start typing the recipient and again there's a lag while the letters catch up with my typing.

I've tried clearing all running apps but i still get the lag a lot of the time.

Does anyone else get this ??

I think the manila version is still 2.1 as I don't have the extra shortcut icons on the today screen above the slider.

A solution (other than flashing a cooked rom) would be appreciated.

Wifi

Bluetooth

Fair enough, Not everyone who does Android stuff has always been on XDA :P
[G1 Android Development] OzJD:
The only "issue" I've experienced so far is the camera not working on Sapphire and it's prompting for what to do on firstboot (should u use setup wizard etc)
[G1 Android Development] billington.mark:
afaik, camera isnt working on any 2.0 builds due to the lack of a new driver from HTC, so not really an issue as such.

Sync has completed sucessfully and doesnt seem to be looping....

will keep fiddling!
[G1 Android Development] SG_Shadow:
True, I'm just to lazy to go through all that...
[G1 Android Development] pjcforpres:
I believe one of the 2.0 Dream threads has the solution to the firstboot deal... can't remember which one, but it was a deal with it having 2 different setup apk's, IIRC... I will try to find the post.

The term STABLE is used when an application/program/os is running at 100% functionality. This is still very beta. The term stable should not appear anywhere near eclair/sense ui 1.5 roms.

[G1 Android Development] pjcforpres:
I believe stable was reffering to how it runs on the Sapphire, as it the first post says, he was looking for people to test if it works on the Dream as well.

Reason WiFi and Bluetooth don't work is that it doesn't have the who ha and what not cooked in for Dream. All that needs to be done is someone that knows how to do that to do it. I am stuck at work, and am not close to wanting to do it myself and post if for all to use (getting better at cooking, but still army mush compared to other's offerings).

Just copied su from cyan's rom into system/bin and chmod'd it, then installed superuser, then underclocked it now that i had root access. Then zipaligned all the apk's in the system/app folder, damn its faster LOL :). Also for sync i just disabled autosync and calendar sync. So gmail syncs manually. :)

[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
True, however its not been optimized yet :). So even if u zipalign the apk's urself ull c a HUGE difference
[G1 Android Development] big_d093:
ROM is great..runs smooth..no auto correct with text though n no gallery..camera/video doesnt work..sync worked for me..If wifi worked and some other minior stuff was fixed..it be damn near perfect..good job!
[G1 Android Development] tattokris:
Tried as we all know:

no bluetooth, wifi, camera; and it has synch issues.

Gallery (sort of) works if you click on a picture in the camera app.

I was surprised by the speed based on how no optimization was done. I can see a pretty usable version on the horizon. Things are looking nice for the old G1 still.
[G1 Android Development] OzJD:
As stated earlier, There's no optimization done (yet)... I've originally designed this for sapphire (see OP).

The sign in issue should be fixed very soon for those of you that are getting it, I don't see much point in zip-aligning until the package is fixed.

I'll probably also get it to run @ full speed after the bugs are ironed out.

As for dream modules (BT & Wifi) - I'll look into it soon
[G1 Android Development] OzJD:
Please report issues here: http://code.google.com/p/android-sapphire/issues/list
