[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zinite:
Hi,

I'm running CyanogenMod-4.2.13. 8 GB Class 6 SD card with Apps2SD formatted with EXT4 and something like a 20mb swap partition. I have around 35 applications on my phone.

My home screen consists of 3 screens - 1 widget (Power Control) and 12 icons.

Here's the issue: When I hit the home button from any application, it takes about 20 seconds to load the home screen. If I hit the phone button from any application, it takes about 20-35 seconds to load the Dialer application. The phone just feels laggy. Task manager apps only show a couple processes running - nothing excessive. Is this normal?

If this is not normal, how do I fix it? I wipe about once a month. I've tried clearing the dalvik cache from terminal with this:

mount system/sd

rm -r system/sd/dalvik-cache

reboot

... with no luck. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prophetjinn:
Do you have compcache enabled in spare parts?

Do you have 'keep home in memory' checked in spare parts?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zinite:
No, I didn't. I just checked them and the home seems to load a bit quicker. The phone app still takes awhile. Should I expect it to speed up as it starts caching stuff?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prophetjinn:
is the phone app taking 10 seconds?

What are you using to setup your swap?

Try changing the swap size to 32 or removing it all together. compcache should be enough for a donut rom.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bunu:
You can download CacheMate (the one with the icon of a recyle bin/trash can) and try deleting all the cache. That can really speed up a phone.

Or go into the recovery and delete the dalvik-cache or just backup everything and wipe everything on the phone possible and partition your sdcard like this

512 mb ext 3/32 Mb swap (or if you want a swap size that is good for all roms like donut/eclair/hero then make the swamp 96 Mb)/ rest fat32
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zinite:
It looks like it's getting better. I restarted my phone and it's taking less than 5 seconds for the dialer app.

If it starts slowing down again, I'll try messing with the swap.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prophetjinn:
Good to hear. :) are you using the default launcher.apk from cyan mod? Because i know it comes with 5 screens, i know you're either using an alternate launcher or just using 3 of the 5 screens.
[General Questions and Answers] Jim760:
i have just got a t mobile MDA compact V aka a HTC touch diamond 2? anyway so far its useless.. bluethooth link to pc offers nothing but a serial conection,and from pc to phone i get the networking and file transfer. what the heck? my old artemis (xda orbit) had alot of things like the wireless stereo, HID options etc. and as for wifi, it seems to ignore the fact its connected to my home network (although it says connected) when using programs that need to go online, such as copilot amd the windows update. the phone has been fully reset back to factory settings. so whats going on here? is it because its a t mobile one that half of these things arnt on it? i would of thought the orbit would of been the same since its an 02 phone but nope it works better than this one!
[General Questions and Answers] Jim760:
um hello? lol you cant tell me not one of you know whats up here? how the hell can a phone from 2k6 out do, and have more features than a 2k9 one. WHATS WRONG WITH IT!!! also note, im using the same pc hardwere to talk to both phones and even a back up XDA mini, both xdas do everything well.

now, if i was to flash this thing, possably update tyo wm 6.5 (6.1 atm) would it, A. get rid of the t-mobile branding and B. work as you would expect it to!?

stress levels reising. please shed some light on this for me.

tia.
[General Questions and Answers] Jim760:
i forgot to follow this up for you all.. turns out there was indeed an issue with the softwere, somone may of tampered with it before and mesed things up. oh well i sold it to the local phone shop for almost what i paid for it so no loss
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] wifihack:
I'm trying to configure DeLorme Street Atlas 2010HH to talk to the GPS on my new AT&T Tilt2 stock. SA only seems to understand COMn ports and the GPS port doesn't seem to be in the list.

Google Mobile Maps at least has a radio button to select using Windows Location information, and that worked.

There is an control panel for External GPS that seems to map hardware ports into shared COM ports, but I'm not sure if that will do the trick for SA2010HH.

I haven't gotten it to work yet.

Any ideas?

What is the port that HTC provides a driver for? How do I map that successfully?

Thanks,

Dave.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
Every reference I've ever seen has the GPS on the TP2 assigned to COM4. I'm not really sure how you can map to that for SA2010 (never used it before)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] bobwesterman:
I had the same problem at first. What I did was take the phone outside where I could get sat lock, opened Google Maps Mobile, while GMM still opened I opened SA2010 went into GPS settings and it pretty much found it by itself. That was about a month ago so I'm not exactly sure about my sequence.

This is what I see in GPS settings for SA2010

Device NMEA 0183

Baud Rate 4800

Comport COM4:

State Pennsylvania

Coords 40 You get the idea. I can't think right now how to put the degree symbol in there.

If I remember correctly I set the state before trying the GMM so I don't know how much difference that will make.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kimtyson:
Number 1- You should always search before starting a new thread. I am sure you would find the answer to you original question. It is Com4.

Number 2- I am pretty sure you don't use External GPS, you keep it configured to use the GPS as is. Delorme should see it, just like Goggle Maps does.

Number 3- Why not contact Delorme customer service?
[Android Themes] MagicXB:
Since nobody was making one, I created my own themed Nexus Launcher originally designed for use with xROM v1.0-Eclair 2.1 (however this should work with any other Eclair ROM - YMMV, so let me know if you encounter any issues). Below is a Metamorph that I created that will theme the Launcher.apk to look like the Nexus Launcher we all know and love to drool over. ^_^ To install, use the MetaMorph application (available for free in the Market) and then select this zip file. Please DO NOT RENAME the ZIP file, for the ZIP name needs to stay exactly as it is (nexuseclairlauncher.zip) for the application to be able to read the .thm file. Anyways, enough talking, link below! :D

metamorph seemed the open the file fine and apply it fine but once exiting metamorph no Nexus Launcher :\
[Android Themes] Ace42:
Try rebooting to see if anything changes.
[Android Themes] MagicXB:
Well unfortunately the only ROM I have been able to test the metamorph on was with xROM v1.0-1.1 (for Eclair 2.1). :(
[Android Themes] JamieD81:
Worked on kings eclair 2.1 v1.3
[Android Themes] WiredAnim:
I tried it on openeclair and it didn't work. After metamorph launcher wouldn't open so I rebooted and it wouldn't boot up.

Great idea thou and ill try to get it to work for openeclakir and ill add a link.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nycny:
The difference so far has been beyond night and day.

This thing is still very cherry.

I am avoiding adding anything to it right now as I have previously posted that Tilt2 may be a dog.

Kind of thinking I was right.

I will be trying patiently, for a little bit, before I add many programs to it.

The performance within a few minutes of using has been astounding.

Also some interesting, unexpected surprises.

Any and all questions will be accepted.

WOW
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
I'm curious to hear any specifics on how the behavior of the new one is noticibly different than that of the first one you had...I'm particularly looking for connections/exclusions related to hardware and specific issues.

I'm assuming that your replacement came from the same path/source as the original one? What did you tell them to get them to give you a replacement unit? AT&T branded store, or reseller?

Thanks man, mostly just my hyperactive curiousity asking :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nycny:
Original purchased through WalMart Lets Talk on Black Friday. (free). hmm..

Equipment failed several times variously along voice audio path.

Replacement from ATT Ft. Worth TX

This thing is still very cherry. Only a couple hours usage.

Have only added MyPhone and contacts from MyPhone Backup.

Opera 9.5 experience has been unusual to me in that it recognized my email profile without any input from me other than inserting sim card and opening Opera 9.5 and selecting mail from ATT Yahoo default web page.

All browsing within Yahoo mail has been very quick.

Not my prior experience, which was very slow to refresh/update.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nycny:
Connection/exclusion of what?

What do you mean?

Not getting it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nycny:
This thing is still very cherry.

Other than default profile, I will be very reluctant to explore very far from there.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kimtyson:
So, is it very cherry?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
lol careful what you ask for :D

I was just trying to figure out which of the issues you originally had could be attributed to hardware pretty much...but between those, the sound problem you just mentioned, and your considerably improved experience with the new one, it's clear you just had a bum unit all around. Thanks for the feedback though :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nycny:
Cherry is a fruit, quite delicious to taste, spoils quickly, if not gathered and consumed soon.

Meaning that no software other than default is installed.

Default test module or whatever you want to call it.

Out of the box unmodified other to install MyPhone so I could make some calls.

In the American English idiom, untouched. Virgin.

Working very well.

Windows Mobile ATT most recent stock ROM as far as I can tell.

If you have a question about operation or state of ROM, please ask.

As the cherry my offer won't last long.

Did you read the beginning of the post?

(I can see why some of you older guys get tired with us cherries, we don't last long)

[Omnia II Themes and Apps] c3p9:
Hello everyone,

I just bought a Omnia 2 and I'm planning to get an ultra-ultra-lite 6.5.5 ROM as I really don't like most of the Samsung stuff.

My intention is to get a "off the shelf" UI manager. I've been looking into PointUI and SPB Mobile Shell mainly. I also have seen Vito Winterface and some custom stuff like xda Touch Flo 3D.

Can someone provide a short review on those?

My concerns:

1) Don't get a laggy device because of the UI

2) Do not loose all the memory on the UI management.

3) Not to have a battery eater UI (read bad things about Spb MS)

4) Have a solution that handles not only the home screen but has additional managers for contacts, calendar, media, weather etc..

5) Have a nice applications panel, a home screen with weather, appointments and messages.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
[Omnia II Themes and Apps] junalmeida:
I guess that the UI is a personal choice. I liked SPB MS very much, but unfortunately it is not a free app.
[Omnia II Themes and Apps] c3p9:
Thanks Junal... I agree and I don't mind to pay. My biggest concern is to use almost all the RAM only for the UI.
[Omnia II Themes and Apps] siemi1:
Unfortunately there is still 100MB from 256 reserver by samsung:/

Bu according to SPB Mobile Shell it is the best for me too:)
[Omnia II Themes and Apps] alekhkhanna:
I have the same concerns regarding SPB shell..!! I used PointUI Demo version ( or the Lite version if you prefer..) and it was simply zippy.. The UI is good and the shell doesn't lag.. All in all, i would definitely recommend it over SPB as i found the UI and memory management better..!!..

In case you *don't* want any extra shell running on your WinMo ( and eating precious RAM ) , i prefer using Resco File Explorer and its Today plugin.. It is easy to use with minimum RAM/CPU needed.. And you can see the RAM, CPU,Battery and Storage space info from the Home screen.. Plus you can also add any number of shortcuts to the plugin to suit your needs.. I use it in conjuction with SPB weather ( which also uses a Today plugin..) and my phone stays zippy throughout the day.. Yet to see any lag due to it's use..!!

Attached a screenshot for the same..
[Omnia II Themes and Apps] grahamkdt:
Samsung Today...

I use Samsung Today, which is just a better all round experience than the rubbish TouchWiz widget thingy (in my opinion!). You need one of the newer ROM's though as it wasn't included in the last ROM release from Samsung... by last, I mean official release. Secany, over at MoDaCo has the latest JA5 available, which does include this - just check 'Samsung Today' in the 'Items on Today' option screen ;)
[Omnia II Themes and Apps] Mikroft:
PointUI w/Pointsens v2 for me.
[Omnia II Themes and Apps] Khisha:
Samsung today rules. It is not as fancy as SPB, but extremely useful and fast.
[Omnia II Themes and Apps] roma:
Used SPB Mobile Shell for several weeks. I admit, it looks good. I don't like the contact manager, it looks awfull. My main issue with it it slows down the Omnia a lot. It consumes a lot of MB's and lags your phone.

I now run Titanium. Put a nice looking, glossy black skin with nice icons on it. I also run PhonEx. Maybe it's not the very best contact system, but it adds a lot of functionality and eye candy. My phone is faster then ever. No issue with loosing memory or closing apps in the background. I enjoy my Omnia more then ever before. No freezes or any issue.

Curious? Try SPB MS for a while. It is a nice UI. But at some point I'm sure you will revert back to Titanium. At that point you will enjoy your Omnia as if it is new ;)

WM 6.5 Rules

Hi everyone....

It's just funny but the best UI was always there! TITANIUM from WM 6.5! :rolleyes:

Lightweight

Calendar / Messaging / Weather* / Contacts* / AppLauncher* Plugins

* Additional Plug ins from xda :D

Straightforward

For the first time Microsoft Mobile is going the right direction!

Maybe they hired some xda fellows? ;)
[Omnia II Themes and Apps] NikAhmad:
You can try this ROM ie HD2 Sense UI
[Omnia II Themes and Apps] babyjosef17:
I not sure why no one has mentioed yet. Maybe I'm the only one who likes it. But I'm diggin iphonetoday 1.3. I don't use the today plugin. I have actually idsabled the Today, then assign the side button to luacnh the iphotoday exe. I have 80MB of ram on boot. about 76 Once iphonetoday is launched. With this my skyfire browsing experience became mch better as I can multitask
[Omnia II Themes and Apps] darkworldz:
definitely the titanium... add panels and whatever to make it to your liking :)

SPB

Only tried Samsung native and SPB MS and prefer MS. Cleaned it some to free around 47mb on bootup. Satisfied with features but would love more free RAM. Less lag than native UI.

Very open to try lighter UIs so i'll keep reading your inputs :)
[Omnia II Themes and Apps] bennyx8903:
47mb is very little. do u have other things booting as well? because i use PhoneEX and MS, and i can boot at 70mb even on stock rom (j6)

i tired pointUI like it very much. but too expensive =p
[Omnia II Themes and Apps] rdy2go:
SPB Mobile Shell, albeit a little slow and paid

Samsung Today (new UI from JA5 ROM) is also excellent, free and customizable
[Omnia II Themes and Apps] Aafi-rocks:
OK.. I am confused with so many diff UI

1. Which is the best UI for Omnia i8000, I need one which is a eye candy and can help show off your OMLed display ;)

2. I am planning to update my Omnia to WinMo 6.5 to get Titanium and TellMe Voice command.. is it worth..?

Dear all,

For my experience, i have try SPB, Throtle, and any other Shell thing....

All are working fine, very fast and very fun, but i have notice that if i am using other than Samsung widget today, then the battery life will only can 1 day on ( from (100% -- 10%).

But if i am using samsung widget today then the batery will stand almost 3 days....

So the choice on yours... :cool:
[Omnia II Themes and Apps] insane73:
I used MS for a while and bought it. I now use WAD as it is less of a memory hog and is way more customizable..Perfect!
[Omnia II Themes and Apps] captkkk:
With such limited resources nature of the i8000, the less overlay we use the better.

I have tried TouchWiz the stock UI comes with i8000, gave up right away.

I have tried Mobile Shell, PointUI, no good.

Now I am back to the native WM 6.5 Titanium using a customizable set by gchris.
[Omnia II Themes and Apps] machold:
What's WAD?
[Omnia II Themes and Apps] nposix:

[Omnia II Themes and Apps] Vostradamus:
Using sbp MS and happy about it :)

Around 52Mb at startup (stock italian wind rom), don't need much more as I'm not a heavy multitasker.

Battery lasts for 4-5 days with my standard use.

Plenty of possible customizations (making them myself lol) :p
[Omnia II Themes and Apps] jebise101:
After trying everything WAD, SBP, Titianum, gchris and pointUI/pointsence and a lot of SBP themes and a lot of WAD themes i find my self loving sence 2.5 it has everything you could ever want. I have tried over 100+ themes+UI's and sence is just the most complete. It's a bit slow at times and can eat a lot of memory but it worth it and actually dose not freeze the phone, but i do have to restart the phone every couple of days to keep it fresh. It takes as much as SBP with mobilesence or WAD window windows phone 7 theme or pointsence, but can drop my usable memory to 20MB when i start on boot with about 60MB, again first release so it has memory leaks it will only get better.
[Omnia II Themes and Apps] sener:
Did anybody tried HomeScreen++?

I used it on my previous phone and it was very customizable and light as well.

i agree - sense seems most comprehensive, but: tooooo slow. it is impossible for me to wait 3-4 sec to contacts to appear and additional 3 sec to write an sms..
[Omnia II Themes and Apps] apolas:
Hi guys,

I've tried 4 UIs on my Omnia II:

- default samsung widget -- there is no contacts widget?? :eek: wtf??

- samsung today -- is fine, I like it ... but lagy and bugy :( what a shame

- titanium -- fastest for me, I really like it, but no aditional plugins work for me. I've installed few of them, but no one is showing except originals. with chome editor I can move or hide, but again only original plugins. and more .. everytime I unlock the phone, most upper plugin (pictures) is chosen. I have let's say .. schedule plugin active -> lock -> unlock -> pictures plugin is active :mad:

- SPB MS -- too slow and paid

So I am still using samsung widgets UI, until I will find out why I can't get aditional plugins for titanium to work.

Thanks for any idea.
[Omnia II Themes and Apps] devya:
To me, HTC sense still more interesting and nice too.

but you must flash your PDA ROM with the lite one and then install the HTC sense from rapid... :D

[Omnia II Themes and Apps] sakisds:
For now I am using SPB Mobile Shell + MobileSense, its fast on my omnia pro and looks good. I get around 70mb RAM at boot and it gets down to 40mb after a day of use. My usual multitasking is Opera + Media Player + Messenger so its fine.

Also daskalos is creating a fast sense ROM(at least, it looks fast at the video), so if the ram is sufficient for my multitasking I am gonna use sense.

[Omnia II Themes and Apps] sener:
As every UI, you go to settings->Today and select ONLY the one you want to use.

That's why I previously mentionned HomeScreen PlusPlus, it is because it is one of the rar to accept other today plugin, that I liked to use and did not found alternatives so far.
[Omnia II Themes and Apps] SKJoy2001:
Well, I think the UI depends much on YOUR NATURE & WHAT YOU NEED questions. For me, No Samsung Today screen, no Windows Default Today screen, no 3rd party, just the simple Today screen with selective plugins and an additional icon based application launcher.

For me, the only concern was to see more information within small space and quicker access to applications.

Opnion from 1 year Omnia ii user

i used the omnia2 about year now

firstly i start with SPB its stable very low gwes but high on the ram usage so u have to do some tweaks that make spb runs faster and use low mem also use the high available RAM rom

secondly i tried IPHONE TODAY very fast light medium GWES, low on RAM, easy to use many skins and icon after i got sick of iphone today i add HS++ with iphone today which is cool if u study a bit on HS++ but using two today cause high on gwes

thirdly i move to just HS++ because i found really nice themes on HS++ its good fast ram gwes medium(depends on theme) but if u want to make or edit the theme u have to know all the xml command also i try WAD too. there are many themes but i think WAD is quite heavy than HS++

also i tried others like Titanium, CHT. Titanium its fast stable but i dont like the styles of editing but if u want something really fast and stable no1 choice

now im back to SPB + iphonetoday(just EXE)
