Vintage & Darkstar

Is there any difference in this theme and the Darkstar theme? I'm gonna try it out, but damn.. Looks just like the Darkstar theme with a different name. thanks.
[Android Themes] cacheinjection:
yeah there a number of differences, as far as i can tell, please tell me if im wrong,

the app draw tab is different, i think ther high lighting colour is different, i also believe that the widgets dont have the transparent backgrounds, there is no stericson lockscreen. and i dont think it has the new additions to darkstar like the camera app, or the new dialer.

its like darkstar's brother te he, seperated at the are of 5 lol.

joshuas_79 simply decided that there were somethings he wanted to change about darkstar so he made his own mod, and i aplaud it, and thanks for giving the credits etc.

[Android Themes] joshuas_79:
I would say the only thing in common with darkstar is the round corners in the topbar. This inspired me to make this theme. Well, they both are themes for cyanogenmod 4.2.7.1. But I think it's not enough to say it looks like Darkstar with a different name. But anyway, it's your opinion and somebody can correct me if I'm wrong.
[Android Themes] david636:
Well, Thanks to both you and Froggy for putting out something a bit different from the rest of the themes. The rounded out corners are very sharp! lol

No oxymoron intended:)

Hello

is there a possibility that all this works a bit more nicer?

no extra sms?

maybe just a different color or symbol behind the sms?
[HD2 General] d3l1:
+1

it has been discussed but there hasn't been any solution so far. I'm used to recieving a delivery report as some sort of push-sms that you open and then it disappears and isn't saved in the sms conversation, but you can access it via the properties of the sms you sent.
[HD2 General] eskasi:
Do you mean a message sent notification? If so, this isn't possible because of HTC Messaging crapware.... if you disable it and go back to the original WM messaging app, you can then use Advanced Config 3.3 to turn on sms sent notifications after....

After I got my Tilt 2, I was looking for something wireless for listening to music (I Might)

I was thinking having Jawbone prime as my car bt device.

Looked and searched through the internet, nothing was reasonable price and suitable for working out / treadmill until I ran into this.

http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5008646&sku=M151-2514

Its motorla, but a few reviews on the internet looks good. Not sure how well it will work on the rhodium phones. Anyone got any ideas.

Site is Canadian, but I'm sure there are alot of US sites.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] lacrossev:
I use the s305 with my ATT tp2 with energyrom, and it works fine. The incoming call quality is nice and loud, and people on the other end report that they can hear my clearly, but ofcourse its nowhere near as clear as my jawbone 2 in the outgoing department. The volume is pretty decent, with the phone on 100% volume in both system and pocketplayer, i can leave the s305 at about 50% volume and still be able to get enough volume to drown out a moderately filled starbucks.

65 dollars seems a bit steep though, i bought it locally at a fry's for 50, and prior to that i saw it even cheaper still online, i just couldn't wait for delivery as i was going on a trip and needed a replacement for my plantronics 855, which had better noise isolation but the incoming calls had my voice in it as an echo, and in-ear solutions sometimes is a hit or miss in fitment....in my case it was a miss.

I recommend the s305's if you prefer to still be able to hear around you, i use these when i'm cycling so i can still hear my surroundings.

I should also mention that since A2DP and headset are two different profiles, you can pair your jawbone for headset (its the only profile it supports) and deselect headset but leave bt stereo checked for the s305 and they will not conflict with each other even if they're both on simultaneously. The s305 also supports multiple connections simultaneously so if you happen to have a seperate bt stereo source (i use a samsung p2 as a dedicated mp3 player to save on my phone's power sometimes) you can pair the s305 to both and have them both be connected at the same time, and it will switch from one mode to the other if a call comes in and switch back when the call ends.

i have a nokia bluetooth headset which i think is brilliant. i dont listen to music on my tp2 but always use it with my nokia e51. it should work fine witht he tp2 aswell.

its the nokia bh103 Link

i use it for sat nav + music on the same phone at the same time while riding my bicycle and its great.

hth :D

Hi!

I've lost my Facebook contacts thumbnails, and the ability to see any pictures on their albums.

And my two latest movies that's inside the foto album is not showing in the album view.

Anyone else got this on V1.43 ROM?
[HD2 General] tnyynt:
Facebook albums never worked for me with 1.43 and it doesn't work for me on 1.48 either.
[HD2 General] ToddeSwe:
It did for me until yesterday for some reason, AND my Album thumbnails is disapering from time to time...

What the hell, the phone is just a month old and already huge problems with this and that....

Since i started to tweak and mod my phone all kinds of problems accurs.

I'm getting a bit sick and tired of this phone... should have waited and kept an eye on what was written on XDA first.

But you can't always trust what you read, it can be a nob that can't handle the phone or a computer so i guess that would'nt had helped either. :)
[HD2 General] tnyynt:
Try t disable Sense, restart, go to file explorer, backup HTC Album cache from Application Data\HTC, delete the Album Cache and enable Sense.
[HD2 General] ToddeSwe:
I have now found out what causes both my problems:

The FaceBook issue was due to larger file cache tweak BsB, as soon as i turned that off my Facebook thumbs is back. :)

The video not showing in album was due to me changing to VGA, now i'm back to 320x240 and everything i film in that resolution is showing up in Album. :)

Hope this helps someone else as well.

New headphones for Touch HD 2 with music control - Anyone know if these headphones will work on the Touch HD?

See http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=9367
[Touch HD Accessories] martyk:
Alternative

The griffin smart talk headset and mic for the apple iphone looks like a reasonable alternative

See

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001C0LBEG/ref=nosim/?tag=hotukdeals-21

Not sure if the music controls will work but the call button and mic should be ok at least.

My only concern would be the affect on the fm radio as this wont have an integrated antennae.
[Touch HD Accessories] saifiraq:
wen i bought my htc hd.... it came with the same headset with the media control.... i am in the uk...
[Touch HD Accessories] martyk:
re same headset

Just to clarify - are you saying you bought an HTC Touch HD which came with the HTC Touch HD 2 headset (complete with media controls) and it works ok with it?

If you could confirm this that would be great as I would like to buy this headset for my HTC Touch HD.
[Touch HD Accessories] arielc:
can anyone confirm that the headphones with the remote work with the blackstone?

thanks
[Touch HD Accessories] MaskedMarauder:
I got my wife a HD2 yesterday so tried the headphones with NRG's ROM and the remote did not work other than for answering, hanging up and redialling calls.
[Touch HD Accessories] deveb:
Maybe does it work with ROMs based on HD2 oems? I think it should. Can someone confirm that?
[Touch HD Accessories] mouki_9:
don't bother, i got the hd2 and the stupid headset cannot even control the volume. Only possible to play, previous and next and answer call........
[Touch HD Accessories] la3bna:
I thought that the ground lead acted as antenna. This because the plug is "only" 4 lead. gnd - left - right- mic.
[Touch HD Accessories] svansvan:
1) i have "HTC Touch HD" and "RC E160" - work only microphone.:mad:

2) i change ROM - Gooru M4.0 - (based HTC HD2) - work only microphone.:mad:

"RC E160" (full functionality) for: "HTC Hero" (Android) and "HTC Tattoo" (Android)

may be helps people, who made ROM for WM :)
[Touch HD Accessories] gfacek:
I've installed a WM6.5-ROM based on Touch HD2, but MusicControls won't work... :(

Maybe its just an Driver-Problem?!
[Touch HD Accessories] greenfriedrice:
Hi, i've found these from amazon, Jbuds J3M, do you guys think it will work on the touch HD
[Touch HD Accessories] kkfuti:
I can confirm that music controls of RC E160 doesn't work in touch HD...:mad:

also the quality of audio is really worse than the original of htc HD... maybe it is becuase of the crisis....

I found this on the DREAM forums posted here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=595108

Alright guys i thanks to Amon_RA and his awsome modding magic he made this mod much faster by adding some more things to the build.prop.

Also, i made a 32A Magic version (Untested) and a 32B MT3G version!

If you are using cyanogenmod, here are the instructions to install since it uses a different build.prob specially designed for MyTouch 3g (32B)

Download and run the following command

ADB:

If file is on Desktop

cd desktop
adb remount
adb push build.sapphire.prop /system/build.sapphire.prop
adb shell reboot

Terminal:

Place file in the root of your sdcard

su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cp /sdcard/build.sapphire.prop /system/build.sapphire.prop

Note:

To remove 3g prefix from infront of the operator name in the lockscreen ex: 3G T-Mobile, open up your build.prop and change

ro.ril.enable.3g.prefix=1

to

ro.ril.enable.3g.prefix=0

enjoy!

Thanks to Amon_RA and Stimpoff! :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :No-Frost::
So, will this work for a 32A running Cyanogen????
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Brainze:
I don't quite understand your directions... Please elaborate? :confused:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] JAWheat411:
Testing now. Seen it in another thread the other day but didn't feel like messing with it. Instructions were easy enough.

Weird though before doing it my speed on 2G was 400 k/s which was stated at above 3G.

After the mod it is listed at 423 k/s.

Will play with it more later and see if it really made a difference.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tvwebguy:
Saw a little speed increase at home on Edge. Will check tomorrow on 3g.

Before:

443.6 down

140.9 up

After:

557.3 down

150.9 up
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] str4vag:
testing this now. lets see if it works.

i do see improvements in the load times for a few pages that i used frequently at work. will try this at home later with when i tether.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Neejay:
I forgot to do a before test, but after test is:

Xtremelabs Speedtest app

Download: 863.1 kbits/s

Upload: 142.5 kbits/s

mytouch3G w/ Official Google ION rom (T-MO USA)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] obry:
I too have noticed a speed increase after the new ROM I just installed that has these enhancements built-in. My phone's EDGE and 3G (particularly) have been kinda laggy (and very unstable - jumping even when I have decent signal ever since I rooted my phone and started using custom roms (Cyanogen but from what I'm reading that looks like an issue with all roms out there).

Ever since I installed WG-Build 8 (modified CM-4.2.7.1) my 3G has gotten noticeably snappier and looks like I get better reception too... not sure if I'm just imagining but downloads and other data intensive tasks seem to complete a little quicker.

Basically if you install this rom you'll finally get a fast and responsive android device that pushes the phone to its limit especially with this fix.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MontAlbert:

Second this. Does it work on a 32A in Australia?

How throughly tested is it?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] B Dizzle:
I noticed a nice increase in speed after doing this. I did my test on tracert.org before applying this and was getting results of 700 - 800kbs. After applying this hack I now get 900 - 1000kbs! In the Dallas/Ft. Worth area.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
This is not something "new", I've been applying this in my own rom since I started rom cooking...

Just be aware that some people experience issues with some ril settings as their network doesn't support higher settings.

There are a bit more settings you can play with, these are my current settings (give me the highest speed on my network) :

ro.ril.hep=1

ro.ril.hsxpa=2

ro.ril.enable.dtm=1

ro.ril.gprsclass=12

ro.ril.hsdpa.category=8

ro.ril.enable.a53=1

ro.ril.enable.3g.prefix=1

ro.ril.htcmaskw1.bitmask = 4294967295

ro.ril.htcmaskw1 = 14449

ro.ril.hsupa.category = 5
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] parrot5:
Mine only has these two lines:

ro.ril.hsxpa=2

ro.ril.gprsclass=12

Is it safe to add the other lines?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
Sure, they will not break your phone :-)

If they have any negative influence you can just remove them.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] parrot5:
Thanks! I just tried (straight copy and paste from yours) on mine... I'm sold. At least the Speedtest app shows double the download speed than newest stock CyanogenMod.

(The fastest speed was in Nov 11.... I don't know which rom I was using back then...)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pauldeleeuw:
Ignorant newbie needs help

I tried to apply this by loading build.sapphire.zip onto my SD card. Then I rebooted with Power+Home. Then I selected Update any Zip form SD card. Then I chose the build.sapphire.zip.

It opened then said "load failed, no digital signature".

My phone is rooted and running Cyanogen 4.0.4

Doubtless I made some dumb mistake, help appreciated.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MontAlbert:
try and use the link i provided- this way the script does it all for you. I have tried on both Cyanogen and Amon_RA and it worked great for both...

havent tried all the settings Amon)_RA posted above- they are in the Amon_RA rom but cyanogen only has hsxpa and gprsclass.... will try others now....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MontAlbert:
DAMN! just tried it with all of Amon_RAs settings and it basically doubled my speeds on both upload and downloads!!!

i have attached the build.sapphire.prop i used. just unzip the file, it is in there. if you use the scripts i posted in the cyanogen thread just insert this file instead of the build.sapphire.prop file in the folder there.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :No-Frost::
I'm using latest cyanogen mod (4.2.7.1) in my 32A device and I have a doubt... I have 3 prop files and in 2 of them I have those lines...

So... Wich of the 2 files should I keep (assuming one of them is obsolete) or, do I have to modify the both of them???

The name of the files that contain those lines are:

build.sapphire.prop

build.trout.prop

Remember that I have the CyanogenMod 4.2.7.1...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MontAlbert:
jus the build.sapphire.prop. the other file is for G1s running cyanogen. the 32A doesnt use the build.trout stuff... i have tried it on my 32A on both cyanogen and amon_RA.

Funnily enough, since doing it my network reading (when you drop down the notification bar) has changed from "3" to "3G 3". Not sure if this is going to affect me when i drop out of 3 range (for those aussies you will know what it means) and roam onto telstra/voda....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pauldeleeuw:
Thanks, but...

I appreciate the answers. But it is not clear to me. MontAlbert says "try the link I posted" but I see no link on the post.

Several people say to unzip the build.sapphire.zip. I can do that on my PC. I get a file with the name build.sapphire.prop.

What do I do with that? People say to "build" with it, but I do not know what that means.

As they say in medicine, " See one, do one, teach one"

Thanks,

Paul D.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :No-Frost::
OK... Thanks, then I can remove the dream file then and just leave the one for the sapphire and modify it :D

this is just a script to do it for u.

all it does it copy the build.sapphire.prop file to /system

you can do it manually using SUFBS or root explorer or just plain old terminal
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
The 3G is added by : ro.ril.enable.3g.prefix=1

As soon as you have 2G it will go away.

I like this setting because now I can see clearly if I'm on 2G or 3G ;)

If you don't like it you can always set it to 0.

Before hack:

Down: 119

Up: 151

First test after hack:

Down: 54

Up: 100

Fith test after hack:

Down: 386

Up: 236

I'm also on 3 in Australia.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] majoraccent:
I'm running TheOfficial TMO US 2.3.2. Using the speedtest.net app, before this hack I was getting 908/196. After the hack, I got the following results, in this order:

829/380

874/340

568/366

1339/349!!

The upload throughput increased significantly, whereas the download throughput is much more variable, in both directions. I'm gonna continue using this hack I think.

ETA: I've done various speed tests in the past, and the results were consistent with my "before" speed above.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
I hope you are all aware that speeds will vary all the time (even if you don't apply the "hack"), this is due to the network. If you want to test speeds you shouldn't be testing this in a live network as speeds depend on the amount of users in the serving cell, QOS, etc...

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] st0kes:
So who has the fastest speeds so far? Mine seemed faster before I made the changes but as Amon_RA said it's different every time due to other people's activity on the cell network. I'll give it a few more tests tomorrow.

My fastest speed was 1985 kbps down and 395 kbps up ... funny how my upstream connection on my phone is the same as on my home broadband!

For the record I'm using the vodafone network in the uk
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
Your screenshot indicates that you are using wifi instead of the mobile network... could explain why it's the same as your home broadband :p
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] parrot5:
"Oddly", at night when the mobile traffic is probably slowest, my 3G speeds are consistently higher than my home broadband through wi-fi. During the day it's brutal though, only 0.4 or 0.5Mbps downloads and 0.3 or 0.4 Mbps uploads.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] st0kes:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Loccy:
I get between 1300-1500kbps after making the change. Didn't test beforehand though. I would say that subjectively, as a user I see no real difference and it seems to destroy my battery - anyone else seeing that?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] majoraccent:
a day after applying the hack, at one point I noticed some connection difficulties: data connection in google maps suddenly stopped working reliably. I then noticed that all outgoing calls were instantly disconnected. A switch to airplane mode and back, and a reboot didn't help. As I was opening up my laptop I did successfully get an incoming call, but immediately after I reverted the hack, didn't have the problem since.

It is quite possible that it's just a coincidence, but I'm posting this in case others see any symptoms like it. I was in a strong signal area.

ETA: after switching back and getting normal behavior for a little bit, it started up again. I started getting a ton of forcecloses from google voice while trying to use the dialer app, so I believe that's where the problem is (removing google voice fixed the problem). I think you can disregard everything I said earlier.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] parrot5:
I find that using Google's public DNS servers speed up tethering more than this change, maybe my network isn't good enough to take advantage of it. Just my opinion.

ro.ril.htcmaskw1.bitmask = 4294967295

ro.ril.htcmaskw1 = 14449

ro.ril.hsupa.category = 5wifi.interface = tiwlan0
