[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] philicibine:
thanks guys.. i will start my own build as soon as i get home!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyanogen:
Also.. You should be able to build using my sources and get a system.img that actually works 100% and can be fastbooted.
[Android Themes] dreamhunterr:
Purpose

* Simple, polished, 'defaulty' look for your android install.

* All-in-one package, just one metamorph away!

* KISS - keep it simple stupid

Includes:

- upgrade all major application icons to it's 2.0 version

- some apks updated (like Youtube, Terminal)

- audiohack generation 7 v2r2

- audio-resources (alarms, notifications and ringtones) from multiple sources

- blur animations

tiny little details...

- replaced calendar icon by its Hero equivalent (personal choice, I don't like the 2.0 one)

- launcher and application drawer is like the Droid's (rectangular one) with carbon fiber dotted background

- phone.apk is untouched (see changelog 0.2)

THIS THEME REFLECTS MY PERSONAL TASTE.

Its objective is not to Eclairify your ROM - I just happen to find most visual aspects of Eclair more appealing :].

Notes:

- it takes a while to patch in metamorph....

- it probably works totally/partially in other 1.6 builds

Disclaimer:

The usual. I take no responsability for whatever. Just distributing what I use on my phone. I also take NO CREDIT for the content itself. I just packaged what I downloaded from multiple sources into one single file.

Changelog:

0.3

- changed theme name

- minor bug fixes

0.2

- removed phone customizations (that blue gradient in Eclair's phone apk kind of sucks)

0.1

- initial release

Download:

0.1 - Mediafire

0.3 - Mediafire
[HD2 General] rogershroed1991:
I have a Blackstone and I'm thinking about getting a Leo but a friend of mine has one and the one time I saw it I remember thinking it was way too big. Is the bigger screen useful at all? Does the phone feel too big when you're holding it in one hand and trying to click stuff or send a text? Does it feel too big in your pocket or is it fine?

Before I had the Blackstone I had a Diamond so I'm used to smaller/slim phones. Just want to make sure the Leo is something I like before I buy one, so if anyone can help answer these questions I'd appreciate it.
[HD2 General] freyberry:
Only 4" and a bit smaller would have been better, but it's not too big.

In fact, it's more convenient to carry around in the pocket than the HD, because it's less bulky.
[HD2 General] chalid:
Had a Touch HD before and think the HD2 feels much better in the pocket. It's actually not that much longer and wider, but quite a lot thinner ...
[HD2 General] borgqueenx:
the bigger screen the better. Size of the phone is good, but must not be much bigger. then i wouldnt call it a "phone" anymore.
[HD2 General] brandi:
no, i dont think so! but i guess this is a really personal decision! Just go to a store and hold i in your hand, and then you can decide yourself!

greetz
[HD2 General] band27:
You are basically following in my footsteps (Diamond, HD and .....eventually HD2) or should I say maybe I would like to follow in yours. Well depending on your choice.

I just got my HD and I'm happy but if I had a choice right now. No doubt it would be the HD2 as the width is hardly noticiable between the HD and the HD2. Well it least when I measured up the HD with a dummy HD2.
[HD2 General] myth1001:
The HUGE screen is one of the reason I love this phone so much.

My first impression when I unboxed my phone was, " Damn! The screen is so damn big!"

But, it is not bulky, thinner than many other phone in fact. I feel much more comfortable having HD2 in my pocket than my previous N95.

I'm an asian with no large hands but i can handle the phone with one hand easily. :)
[HD2 General] Syphon Filter:
Nope, I think it's probably at the limit of how big you would want a phone to be though. Any larger that the HD2 and I think it might end up being too cumbersome.
[HD2 General] Seon1461:
Size does matter but it's not a problem with the HD2

I owned the HD and I never had a problem with the size. Before buying the HD2 I though size would be a problem nevertheless I put a deposit down to ensure I got mine from the initial shipment. I’m not disappointed. I think the size is perfect. The thinness more than overcompensates for the slightly increased width and height.
[HD2 General] xavierdemon:
Coming from using a Diamond before, this is freckin' massive and considerably heavier than my diamond. However it's not bad at all, feels so well constucted and a pleasure to use.

I don't think of my HD2 as a phone anymore, it's like some awesome mini tablet PC that just happens to have phone capabilities :).
[HD2 General] umiss:
As said above, thanks to it being so thin it's perfect. The big screen is so amazing and I don't think its worse than having my SE P1i in my pocket which was alot thicker but also alot smaller in height and width. So in my opinion the big size is great, and thanks to it being so thin it's perfect even in the pocket.
[HD2 General] derScheich:
yes. no. fine.
[HD2 General] fatalus:
I cant think any phone larger than Leo without losing the term phone and entering the netbook territory. On the other hand I am so spoiled by the perfect screen that all others seem like miniatures now! :D
[HD2 General] josep54:
perfect

when i first saw it i though it was going to be just a bit too big but after a few days it just seemed natural.

now i can't believe how inadequate my girlfriend's diamond is.

it also fits my shirt pocket perfectly - my diamond used to fall out a lot.
[HD2 General] aro:
too big for one handed use

I am comming from the Touch Pro, which was very hard to use completely without stylus. The HD2 screen is very nice for touch control, but too big for one handed use.

I never had a Touch Pro 2 in my hand unfortunately, so I can not judge if it is still big enough for touch control and small enough for one handed use.
[HD2 General] thehawkCB:
Indeed.

It fits into a jeans pocket with ease, even when in a pouch and the big screen is a plus. When I look at my bro's Touch Pro I immediately take my eyes off it, so small are the words :P
[HD2 General] donbronzi:
Would agree with the above. I came from the HD and actually the HD2 fits better.... Its thinner so feels less bulky, the screen goes right to the edge of the device which is only slightly wider and taller.

I was really worried about the size, i remember thinking the HD was pretty large so thought the HD2 must be gigantic.

Coming from the HD i have to say the size is def not an issue. (Oh, you'll love the screen!):)
[HD2 General] rogershroed1991:
Wait a sec, does it work with AT&T 3G in the US (I think 850 band)?
[HD2 General] antilagman:
I dont think its too big, i have came from a touch hd and with a rubber case on its basicly the same size, i absolutely love the hd2 I have customized it to fit my every need and i havent had 1 problem with it so far....

(my previous phones, xda orbit, xda orbit 2, iphone, touch hd and now the hd2)
[HD2 General] htc12345:
screen size very nice, does not feel too big when holding in hand thanks to the thin design, and be careful with tight pockets.
[HD2 General] webjunky:
I had a Touch HD before this HD2 and i must say i love it , its not to big

even tough i only have 1 hand ( right ) it is a perfect fit :) and all things can be done just by holding it in 1 hand and command all with your thump :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] precsmo:
I'm Blackstone user too and just got HD2 for 3 days. I've never bother to think HD2 is huge, in fact, I find it feel smaller in some ways due to its ultra slick and slim design. Go for it, if you ask questions like that, you will probably end up with some users claim it huge and some claim it ok. You yourself should decide.
[HD2 General] Koen D:
My previous phone was a Sony Ericsson 810i, so this was a huge change for me.

However: I really love it, when it's in my pocket I barely feel it. I think HTC did a good job making the HD2 so thin, otherwise it would have been too much.

enjoy!
[HD2 General] eaglesteve:
No I don't think it is too big. It is the perfect size. If you want a gorgeous screen like this, you have to accept that there would be a little difficult to operate one hand as easily as the smaller phone.

I wish iPhone has a screen like this.
[HD2 General] Exlo:
It did feel a bit big at first, but now it feels just normal...
[HD2 General] romac:
Coming from a Diamond I thought this phone was too big but having it for a week now its just perfect. Highly customable to suit your individual need. The size just grows on you and you would not want to go back to a smaller screen.
[HD2 General] DaveLeh:
It has the perfect size.

Best median between display size and device size.
[HD2 General] wazaaappp:
barely feel it in my pocket, sometimes recheck if it's still there :p:p
[HD2 General] tdrager:
Coming from a 5 Inch screen on the HTC Athena

I have used an HTC Athena/X7500/Advantage for 3 years. It has a 5 inch screen, which is lovely for browsing the internet. I'll really miss the 5 inch screen, hard keyboard and dedicated buttons, but will love the HD2's Snapdragon and 3G performance when the 1700MHz version comes out in the USA.

For people who wear near-sighted corrective lenses, a larger display helps because glasses make all images smaller.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] dills84:
Hey guys, I'm an avid photo enthusiast. I've been less than impressed with the Mytouch 3G camera sharpness to say the least. With apps like "FXcamera" and "vignette" ive been using the phone to take little artsy snap shots more and more.

Today i realized when i took my battery cover off the camera sharpness improved 100X!!! so much better! The crappy flimsy plastic that HTC used in the battery cover is naturally foggy and causes light to streak in pictures.

So in the end i took an Xacto knife and removed the little plastic window from my battery door.

My phone can now take sharp pictures all the time.

I thought I'd share this bit of info! Try it yourself... take a couple shots without the battery cover! Hope this can help my fellow frustrated MT3G owners :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sirdani:
don't know about the MT3G, but the Magic (Vodafone) doesn't have any foil on the camera hole on the battery cover...

but though, thanks for sharing :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] dills84:
Not talking about the foil. Talking about actually removing the plastic glass thats attached to the battery cover. So theres just a hole instead of having "glass". that little peice of fake glass destroys the cameras quality. if you take a couple shots without your battery door you'll notice a huge improvment.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] swissp:
I think he was saying that the Magic already has a hole in the battery cover, there is no fake glass piece ;)

might be a good tip for MT3G users though!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] phatmanxxl:
Your not worried about the camera lens itself getting dirty? I love taking pics too and they always seem to have a hazy/foggy look. I always used a q-tip to clean the peep hole but now I'm considering your method too.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] dills84:
i tried everything to clean the little plastic peice, even expencive pro lens fluid (called Eclipse).

I think the plastic is just cheap and will always be foggy.

The lens on the camera inside is pretty heavy duty and set back about 1/8" from the cover... so its pretty impossible to hit it with anything. Its also easier to clean that lens than the battery door lens. It really makes a huuuge difference
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] phatmanxxl:
Yea I noticed a huge differencealso, and I was able to just push out the lens cover out of the battery door with my thumbnail. But Im just afraid it will I will fog up the camera lense too like dust,sweat, pocket lint, etc. Ill just take the battery door off when I take my pictures unless I can find something to replace the lense cover, like some other piece of plastic or something I can glue onto the back. Ill post any solutions.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Ohene10:
Took the plastic cover off as well. Wow, now I will actually use my camera...it was pointless before. Crapy design HTC.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Taknarosh:
http://img121.imageshack.us/img121/103/imag0044f.jpg

That's odd, my Rogers HTC Magic doesn't have a glass pane on my battery cover.

Taken with my phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] CLLC:
No I beleive the OP is referring to the glass or plastic cover over the camera area of the back cover.

My HTC Magic from vodafone UK doesn't have this but I would imagine removing it would be better :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] cmarti:
I did this and yes the picture quality improves but the music now sounds less deep, less bass.

Try it and cover the hole with your finger and you will see what I mean.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hol17:
He is holding his battery cover..

A battery cover is to.. cover a battery to make sure it doesn't fall out. He is holding the right object and mine does not have it either.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] phatmanxxl:
i broke down and took out the plastic thing, no problem with the lens getting dirty so far.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] looktall:
my vodafone magic doesn't have the protective lens cover on the battery cover.

it does however have a lens protector covering the lens on the actual body of the phone.

it takes pretty good photos though, so maybe it's made of a different material than on the MT3G?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Onixraul1:
Yeah not a good idea at all...

Do you think that htc putted the plastic cover there just so it would look fancy?

Guess not.. This is not modding... it is actually kinda dumbing.. Give it a week or two.. and then check for all the dust that you're going to have in there...

And lets not talk about a rainy day... The phone probably will go RIP...

So if I were you all.. Ill stay wit the piece of plastic... That my opinion
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] swissp:
Actually, HTC didn't put it on their branded Magics... Vodafone's and Rogers' Magics don't have it either... only the myTouch 3G
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] phatmanxxl:
Since I "modded" the phone i have not had a problem with dust or anything like that. Thats what concerned me the most before I did it. And as for a rainy day, I know better than to take my phone out into the rain.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Wond3r:
Lol who would go and take pics in the rain with their phone anyway?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Anartic:
You could always remove the battery cover when you take pictures, it might seem odd, but that way you won't have to remove that plastic piece, but you do risk getting your lense dirty faster even if you do remove the cover for a minute or so.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Aeikozz:
or.... we could just seek out a better replacement.

don't they make clearer plastics we could use to replace this?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] psycotic11:
what about the fact that many variants of this phone don't have that piece at all?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] kloopk:
My uk Vodafone one also has no plastic I have had mine since may 2009 and the glass on the lens can get a bit dusty but i just pop the back off and give it a quick wipe every couple of weeks. I imagine that the bit of plastic also requires a defluff everynown and again,

out of interest does the camera with the phones that have the plastic have a bit of square glass over the lens anyway but on the phone unit?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sombionix:
Took off the plastic piece on my phone and girlfriends phone to test out this theory. Our picture quality greatly improved! Thanks for the advice, works great.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Aeikozz:
lol works so great i got kicked out of a club for taking pictures with it. even though i wasn't >_<
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] phatmanxxl:
I was doing that for awhile, but it got to be real pain in the ass every time I wanted to take a pic. I had to take off the rubber skin, then open the battery cover, snap the pic, put it all back together....yeah, F that.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tnpapadakos:
with cover on and with cover off (in that order)....i think you're right
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mediaman30:
Wow so much better without plastic.. my question is is there a replacement plastic that better that we could glue back on?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] undone1:
I also removed the little plastic cover and was amazed at the improvement in quality. Being a bit worried about the extra dust and crud that could enter the open lens area, I now apply a small post-it note over the hole. That way, I can remove it easily to take pictures, then reapply the post-it when I'm done! So far, this has worked out well.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] dustrho:
Wow, I'm just amazed by the simpleness behind improving the quality of the phone's camera. I haven't taken out the plastic cover yet on my MT3G, but I did some testing with the battery cover on and off and there's definite improvement. Why would one version of this phone have that and not the others? I don't get that.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
Wouldn't cleaning that little cover with a microfiber accomplish the same thing?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] dustrho:
I took the little lens cover off the battery cover, and all my pictures look fantastic now! I am totally blown away at how much that little 5-second hack improved the picture quality. Hands down this is one of the most useful threads for the MyTouch3G I've come across. Thank you so much for sharing this tip with all of us.

Attached is an example of the photo quality without the lens cover, taken with my modified MT3G, of the xacto knife used to remove that lens cover. :cool:
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] visualist6x6:
No, cleaning it with a microfiber cloth won't do anything except take off fingerprints and stuff. The quality of the plastic is just plain bad. However, if you could replace it with an optical quality filter, like cutting a little square from a regular camera UV filter. . . hmmmm.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tass0s:
good idea but ppl must be careful not to put dust accidentaly in it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jdyates:
I just read through this thread out of curiosity, and had an idea. For the guys worried about dust, why dont you cut out a small (TINY) block of foam with a circle cut in it with one of those Xacto knifes and replace that plastic lens with the foam? Wha-LAH! Kick ass sharpness+No dust/moisture in the battery compartment!

Gonna try it myself! :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
I like that idea.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] HessTruck:
this is probably a dead thread but does anyone still have their plastic piece? i lost mine and now that im trying to sell my mytouch i need it again. Any help is greatly appreciated

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] cus069:
Hi Mr Joe,

I've tried to use Tomtom 7 with wwe 03 and same problem.

The only way to use it that i've found is to download GPS proxy on this site :

http://sourceforge.net/projects/gpsproxy/

You had to add a outgoing port in your GPS BTH (port 6 by exemple)

With gps proxi , you've to create a virtual port 4 (automatically) and via the option, configure entry port 6 and outgoing port n° 4.

with tomtom, u choose port 4 for you GPS and it's works.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] joebloggsisok:
