I have a Tilt 2 that I got unlocked for my tmobile service. Unfortunetly it doesnt connect to 3G network. Is this because the phone is unlocked? I had this same issue when i had a blackjack2 from att over to tmobile as well.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Quilt:
I hope not. I'm getting an unlocked Tilt 2 in a few days
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] quid246:
Tilt2 3G -> 850/1900

TMO 3G -> 1700

So AT&T does not work on T-MO for 3G.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Quilt:
Good to know.

Thanks

Hi,

I see that we have many many roms and 2 types of Sapphire (32B and 32A)

Now I have an idea to help users to install and change rom easierly.

Please read all idea before replying. Some ideas relate to others.​

1. All developer should make 2 choices : 32A rom or 32B rom

2. 32B rom have data/app_s. Running system application on flash memory is more stable and faster than running on ext partition sdcard

3. Recovery should have new feature : Wipe data except data/app_s

Amon_RA should add this feature in his recovery.

4. Developers should remove his own theme, 3rd application (which can download from market), moded application ... from rom, rom will be more stable and smaller

5. If developer want share his theme or moded application or add new feature, he should share extend update in an update_extend.zip on his topic. I suggest him to use 1 folder on sdcard and command *.sh file

If you used iPhone, you will see that moded FW of iPhone OS doesn't include theme, extend application (which can download from Appstore). Why can't we do that? I think almost people just want to find a stable rom without theme, without extend application
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sidster262:
Some good ideas

+1 from me

Moar standardization pleez
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] OzJD:
Sounds like the OP is ill-informed, and wants an iPhone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] looktall:
i've seen a few of these in the dream forum.

the developer releases the rom as a base package. ie. rom only, no (or very few customisations).

then add on packs are released to add 3rd party apps and customisations.

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

this developer has released 4 different roms. each one comes as a base rom that is rooted, and each rom also then has an expansion pack.

themes are then installed as separate downloads.

the post is also very clearly laid out. i wish more developers took the time to create such understandable threads.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ice_prophecy:
Isn't this request cramping developer's style?

Yes that is what you may want. But at the end of the day, they are doing it out of their enjoyment. It's their project and they have free reign on what they do and when they do it. Out of shear good will developers share. Its not up to us to make requests on how things should be. Our roles is to be supportive and grateful for their contributions.

That's not to say your ideas aren't valid... perhaps just not entirely feasible.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ahmgsk:
Good Say My friend
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] str4vag:
seems like a pretty simple request. but what was said earlier has merit as well, since it is really the developer's choice since its done for free.

but yeah, some sort of options like Enthomer is nice. But then again those updates made by AmonRa and Cyanogen is awesome as well. Fast, stable and useful.

Oh, and I strongly support the part on the way the threads are made. some are really easy to follow up on for change logs and stuff, some are messy.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] st0kes:
Search the board (and the Android Market) for MetaMorph which does exactly that.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] limkoksoon:
+1

well, although 'm not a dev, but as users this idea is pretty workable. at least we had lesser unneccesary thread and will look more neat and tidy. thats what make xda more professional and classy. way to go devs. +1 to the idea.

thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rydr1:
OP, good idea, but not everyone may think like you, including the DEVs. There is nothing wrong with what you are stating, but it has been mentioned before that different DEVs want to work on different things; some people want to be unique.

One more thing, can you please not use the word should so much, please?

My wife uses it all the time..."you should clean this" " you should go here" " you should say this". thanks. :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] darkone253:
Agreed. Although some of the requests are somewhat reasonable, it's up to the devs to decide what they want to do with their free time and they are dedicating so much of it to making such great contributions to begin with.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dills84:
We're not paying for the dev's services, so i dont think we have much pull on how they design their ROMS (nor should we)

I think if you want a specific ROM a specific way. YOU should be learning how to code and cook ROMS for yourself.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mer6:
Read and lol'd. This is probably pretty close to the truth.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bjtheone:
Well I for one salute the OP for finally taking a stand and telling the devs what we really want. After all it is all about ME and what I want and they should bloody well be grateful that I even bother to tell them what is wrong with their work, and they should fix it faster. I am a busy guy and can't be bothered to figure out this stuff for myself....

If any of that even vaguely resonates with you... here is a very small clue, completely free of charge...

The devs do this work for their own reasons. Some do it for the challenge, some do it for fun, some do it because they want something different, some do it for the glory. However, they all share it and make the results of their hard work available for the benefit of us end user types. Many even provide free support and hand holding, answering the same questions over and over.

You can politely ask for things to change. If you structure your request well enough and it makes sense, some devs may see the benefit and change. Others will not. Trying to dictate standards of documentation, presentation, features, or packaging just is not going to work, and quite frankly why should it. They are not doing it for you, you are just benefiting as a side effect of them being willing to release their work.

I am sure if you were willing to pay regular software developer rates for a particular feature set, you could find folks willing to accommodate you. Unless you are willing to do that, consider that you already get far more than you pay for.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] funbacon:
I'm Vietnamese and my English is not good. I just know saying " you should do something" is better than saying "you have to do something" or "you must to do something"
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] da-vid:
So I guess we should also stop giving developers suggestions and bug reports, because who wants to fix bugs for enjoyment? I disagree quite a lot with your post; it is in fact our role to make requests. How are ROMs supposed to get better without the input of its users? You completely contradict yourself by saying that we should not "make requests" but we should "be supportive," because by making requests, you are being supportive. By trying to better the project, you are being far more supportive than a silent user.

It's not like funbacon's suggestion has malicious intent. Neither is he trying to dictate what devs should and should not do. You don't have to agree with all of his points, but dismissing the whole thing because of one point, or the fact that he referenced the iPhone, is stupid. It's a suggestion, which most of you have said is a good idea, yet don't think it should be incorporated because... of the vocabulary used? Or maybe it's some other reason, but I have yet to see another valid reason.

Will this work in practice? That's another discussion. But I believe having some standards and general guidelines will be immensely helpful and make it simpler to try different ROMs.

Rydr1, you need counseling. Or a divorce.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] da-vid:
So... all the developers here make ROMs for themselves, but are nice enough to post it for everyone else to use?

Wow, haha. What a distorted view you have there. (Most?) developers aren't as selfish as you think they are. Developers make ROMs so the people who visit this forum can benefit from them, or at least that's the general reason. Why do you think they release updates often to fix bugs or add new functionality, or address issues and suggestions brought up by users?

Or, if I were to look at it from your point of view: users are just tools that devs use to make their ROM better.

Yeah, no. You shouldn't think so lowly of devs here. They should be appreciated, you know.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Jrbourque:
1.I will say that i've had android since day 1 and funbacon was around at that time to. helping and making changes himself to certain roms and apks etc...and helped other people, so he shouldnt be treated as a noob that doesnt know what he is talking about or that he is whining because that is not the case.

2. He made a suggestion that has to do with development and posted in the correct spot and he still hears **** from it? when there are people posting in deveoplment forums that has nothing to do it " what rom is the best, or what phone should i buy" and they dont get as much **** as your handing to someone that made a DEVELOPMENT suggestion and a good one. in the correct section. so people shouldnt be downing him for his work/suggestions

p.s funbacon...nice to see you around again
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rydr1:
No, funbacon, you took it wrong. Im just kidding about using that word. there is nothing wrong with you using it, there is something wrong with my wife using it. :D

I was just adding a little fun to the thread.;)

the bootanimation is made of two series of png files, not a gif as we are used to... i attached it, maybe someone can throw it together as a gif and resize it, this way we could implement it as a bootscreen.

edit: upload does not work from here...
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] CitizenLee:
Upload to somewhere like 4shared.com or mediafire.com and then post the link here.

[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] pookie1:

[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] kendong2:
nice filename ;) just kidding.

while you're at it, could you make them 320 pixels wide? i could throw that together in an update.zip later tonight.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] pookie1:
Here's the one I tried, works on everything apart from the phone
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] CitizenLee:
I can re-size them in CS4 when I get home from work if you like. A quick question 1st though, why are they in landscape format?

That just unzips as a totally black jpg file :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] kendong2:
well, probably someone at google thought it would look better that way... ;)

but we can try to put them on the hero in portrait aswell, i am afraid that it might look ugly if the picture doesn't fill the screen either vertically or horizontally

same here, please try again. we need an animated gif, not a jpeg.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] CitizenLee:
I had to install GIMP to do it as CS4 sucks for resizing animated gifs. Anyway, here you go, resized to 320w x 480h and rotated 90 degrees CW. There may be some quality loss due to the resize but I'm not sure if that can be helped.

[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] kendong2:
doesn't work :( looks just wired, some patterns are there, but it is totally crapped up.

edit: also gave me a bootloop. gonna look into the properties of the gifs now...
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] CitizenLee:
That's not good :(

There must be more to it than simply resizing and rotating the original file.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] kendong2:
here ya go

the problem was that most of the png files were indexed colors with a very small palette. i converted them to rgb and made a gif that works. i had to resize the image to make it fit, i did NOT stretch it (no need as the animation doesn't touch the two sides). came out kinda nice, just try it. apply as update.zip in recovery, or use which ever way you like to get the files into your phone ;) as always no responsibility & do a nandroid backup first :cool:

download the bootscreen and apply as update.zip

1. resetting google maps

2. turning on/off A-GPS using advanced configuration

Hi Everyone,

I just got my xperia x1 for 2 weeks. Was able to read alot from the forum and successfully unlock the bios to be able to flash any custom roms. Was happy on the outcome. However I ran into storage issue, I was wondering if anyone have any ideas how to make the microSD to be the default storage for the camera function for taking movies and pictures.

Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altae:
Maybe by simply selecting the option from the camera menu?

Click on the little wrench icon...

Then click on the down arrow in the lower right hand corner of the screen

then on the left hand side you will see three icons (tabs).

pick the top tab. It should look like a camera AND a film strip

under there you will see option to save to card as default.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ronni.rasmussen:
Sure sounds like something is wrong if CyanogenMod is laggy due to it should be one of the fasts roms available. If you wipe before flashing the rom there might be a hardware problem. Or maybe you're running many applications in the background all the time which cause it to get laggy.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] smacky63:
I'm surprised about the CM rom. The only problems I have been having is it charging through my batteries! :D Have you tried a complete wipe (factory reset) then a fresh install?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Taknarosh:
I'm extremely surprised that the cyanogen and the amon_ra lag. Those are two of the fastest ROMs I've used.

Umm... you're a senior member, so I imagine you should know what you're doing... but... shouldn't this be in Q&A? I mean... anything that has "helllpppp" in the title usually belongs there. Is this really development-related?

Edit: Actually, would probably be best if you posted in the CM-updater thread, instead of starting a new one. Yes? Anyway, I took a look, and I think this is beyond me to answer. I have never bothered to create a theme (I honestly like stock Android look better than any theme, though the Droid theme is really starting to grow on me). So, I'm lost here. Is it giving you this issue every time? Are you using wifi, or what?

For all we know this fix does nothing to address the sending problem. We have zero confirmation that it does anything.
[HD2 General] Archer:
Correct. We have zero confirmation that it either fails or succeeds. Why not join in with the other people trying it to find out?

It took me a couple of weeks from first getting the phone, to getting the SMS problem. Then, after the ROM 1.48 upgrade I didn't have the problem for a few days.

All my SMS since installing the fix have been sent, and I've received an appropriate amount back, so I can confirm that my SMS is currently 100% working. Whether it will work as well next week, I can only tell you then.
