I would get rid of the battery monitor widget, it will just eat battery life, and the phone already has a good built in monitor under Settings->About Phone->Status/Battery Info
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
I agree with this. Then again, I'm a purist, so I'd also skip Swype and the 2nd to last item you had. ;)

How about "install a screen protector"...
[Nexus One General] temperbad:
What battery widget ? Where and how do I delete this....? Thanks I'm new to the n1
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
There is not a "battery" widget pre-installed. If you read the OP, he was talking about things he installed immediately upon getting his N1, not things already installed...

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] c0nv1ct77:
Hey guys, I had a TP2 Sprint, now upgraded to MiteyMikes ROM (+WM6.5 I might add) but my fone doesn't mention "loading touch Flo 3D" upon loading up and also there is also Lag in software, turning the screen but a BIG lag when using the windows explorer.

Can anyone explain why that occurs and more importantly how to change prevent it...

Added info:

I think it cud be a shortage of memory. i have ordered a 16Gb mem card from china but its taking ages coming. so to test the fone, I have had to load apps on the phone memory.. could that be a/contributing reason to the lag and should i save the apps to memcard memory when i get it. Can I install them on mem card...

thanks for your help.. well in anticipation of it, anyway...

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] encephalon9986:
I had MightMike's newest build on my phone and it ran just fine. No lag or anything. It is one of the best roms i have used on my tp2. I always install all my apps to the internal memory of the device, unless the software says to install it to an external card. I have a 4Gb micro sd card and have no problems also. I just have all my music on there. I also have all my .cab files incase i need t hard reset.

If i were you i would either hard reset the device and see if that fixes your problem. If it does not fix it, reflash the same rom or a different rom.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] CeLlgUy:
Which MightyROM? Is it his 2.1 or 2.5?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] jdmsohc22:
Damn, Lag, really..?? I'm runnin his 2.1.10 release of his 2.1 ROM and this thing is blazin fast...! I have an 8gb minisd but I'm runnin just about everything off the phone and even with the apps I have loaded it still is fast as ****...?? Maybe try to reflash and do a hard reset after u flash, than give it a go, hope that works cuz ur missin out if ur laggin...
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] bug666:
Easy one.

The below explaination assumes you have already HardSLP'd your TP2 and have some clue as to how to get around the WinMo OS.

Now, l337 code convict, If you don't mind reflashing your phone (again):

For future reference (becuase you'll flash again, I guarantee it): WHEN reflashing any rom you should "Clear Storage" before running the new rom's .exe on your 'puter --> this soft-resets the phone and your info will be gone, so use a program like PPCPimBackup, it's easy, fast, and cuts out the BS of having to use Outlook to sync pim information.

After the initial "Clear Storage" above, the phone will boot back into your rom, wait for everything to load (a good indication that the boot has arrived upon smooth or smoother operating efficiency, wait for the "three white horizontal lines with a down arrow" also known as the task manager to load. *its the thing in the upper top right hand portion of the black bar located at the top of your screen.* (this is imperative in any flash, even the stock rom)

After the boot has stabilized, sync your phone to your 'puter. (Per a previous post, if you're having probs syncing, go into your USB to PC settings and disable the "Enable faster data syncronization" option and say okay.)

Start your MightyMike installation and go thru the steps. Your phone will inevitably reboot. You'll probably have some waiting to do the first time it boots, with yet another restart.

Now, when the system boots your new rom installation, "Clear Storage" yet again (to clean up any installation files)

You'll reboot yet another time.

After this reboot, restore your pim info, load your extras, and for God's sakes, install At0mAng Enhanced D3D Driver. Reboot. Tweak away.

OH, and heed the words of Mr. MightyMike:

"——————————————————————————-

Please remember to provision your phone before configuring it!

Start > System > Carrier Provisioning

Not doing so before setting up your email, personalized settings will result in unforseen problems.

——————————————————————————-"

Lessons to take away from all of this:

Bottom line, wait for your phone to boot. You don't automatically start World of Warcraft and log into your Dalaran logged player while your computer is loading its AV software and startup entries, so give your little 520-some mhz PPC a chance to shine.

And a large HCSD card isn't going to make your PPC any faster. Your phone doesn't cache it like you have the availablity to do in Window$. Just install visual styles and "always running programs" into internal memory and games and other bullsh*t into your SD card.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] oZo:
Also, it's a good idea to do the following.

Reflash your stock ROM, then run a clear storage as indicated above.

Then flash the MightyROM, wait til it's fully loaded and run clear storage again.

After that it should be just fine.

Hi xda-dev,

I just thought if we could have us thread owners to have a standard button design for a specific thread that we can use/link in our blog post or websites?

Just a thought .. :)
[About XDA developers] quicksite:
And, while on the subject: Is an RSS feed going to be made avail in new version ?

I think that's a great idea. But could you clarify: Are you speaking of the same basic concept on news sites where various social-media icons are avail to auto-repost? (twitter, digg, etc)... Or do you mean a button that performs the action of copying the thread's link & title to the clipboard, then being able to paste it anywhere on your own site, manually, into a blog post etc?

[About XDA developers] quicksite:
Hey that's a cool graphic, I like that.

SLIGHTLY OFF-TOPIC:

I'm WAY behind the curve in using twitter, and how it integrates with what seems like 1000 different twitter-based apps... And twitpics, i'm even less clear on how and WHEN to use it, and if it's used WITH twitter, or a parallel service to twitter for just sharing photos in real time.

ON-TOPIC

So I'm not clear if your posting that image on twitpic is literally an example what you want to be able to do, or are you saying there are apps for either phone or desktop computer that will generate a template graphic as well a specific thread title linked? So, in your picture, is the thread title generated as part of the graphic itself? Or is the thread title displayed in HTML on top of the template graphic?

:confused::confused: I am really confused :confused::confused: but I like the way it looks! please explain further...
[About XDA developers] quicksite:
Okay, so now I see this, in your prior sig file.. and I see that it is a graphic that gets generated with the title of the thread rendered as part of the image... so i just have never seen these used -- but I love the idea...

So for this example here:

tell me how that gets generated -- at http://www.twitstamp.com ? and then when you apply that generated graphic, how do you also code the link to the thread, in this example?

:confused::confused: even more confused :confused::confused: and feeling so behind the times !
[About XDA developers] quicksite:
well whaddayaknow -- this looks like a pretty cool web app ! ---

so are you speaking of ...

(1) You're here at XDA-devs, and you're on, for example, this very thread...

(2) You'd like to see a simple small graphical button, as part of "thread tools" or somewhere within the thread page layout, that when you click on it, it grabs the Title of the thread, and the link, copies it to pasteboard...

(3) then you go to a site like, for example, TwitStamp.com, and insert what's on the pasteboard into the "input box" at Twitstamp...

(4)... thereby generating a graphic with link that can be embedded anywhere on a webpage etc, exactly as you would grab embed code from a YouTube video, or from a photo at photobucket.com, stuff like that?

(5) Is this kind of small-file-size "picture status" thing being rapidly used as a way to post updates, but using twitpics? So that after you generate the graphic, you post it to twitpics? And those who subscribe to your feeds can see "oh cool, that sounds like an interesting thread, i want that for my phone"... and so they would click on it and link to the thread here at XDA?

:confused::confused::confused::confused: even more confused by all the permutations of pasting what where... hah hah.

Is this what you mean exactly, or is it close, or is this just one of many examples of what you are envisioning?

sounds & looks interesting....

[Nexus One General] iifuzz:
I have not had any problems with my G1 with Microsoft Sync in my 2009 Lincoln... However, once i got my Nexus one.. there seems to be a ton of problems....

First of all, the pairing was a hassle... when going to add a phone.. the car shows a number to input in the phone... when i go to connect with the phone... the text box shows up for 2 seconds and then disappears...

I had to connect it by making the phone discoverable and having the car connect to the phone rather then the phone to the car..

Also, the phone numbers dont all get transfered... most of my phone numbers are synced thru facebook.. none of those show up..

Next, when i try to stream Pandora thru my phone to my car... it plays fine.. until i leave the car and try to come back.... then no sound comes out until i unsync the phone and resync it.....

anyone else having simliar issues?

I'm running WM 6.5 on my Blackstone, and about half the time when I plug the phone into the computer I lose all my data that is synced with Outlook. If I go into WMDC, the white check mark boxes next to "Contacts, Calendar, Email, Tasks, Notes, and Mobile Favorites" are unchecked, and it will not allow me to check them. Then, when I look at my phone the information is all gone. When this happens I have gone into Outlook and created a new .PST, and it resyncs with no problems.

This happens when WMDC is already open when I plug in the phone, and when it isn't. It seems random.

I hope this makes sense! Can anyone help?

Thanks,

This is how i push it through terminal, not sure if some of these commands are necessary, but it works for me I guess. Make sure the boot animation is on the root of your sdcard and named bootanimation.zip

su

mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3

cp -f /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /system/media

be aware this isn't persistent, as soon as you flash a new ROM, the boot animation for that ROM will be shown.

thanks, ill give that a go. might make things easier when im testing out my new ones :)
[Android Themes] MontAlbert:
i am having a few issues making my own animation- just starting off simple at the moment- i just edited the colours of the original animation and replaced them in the zip file. thanks to jtz100 i found out i had to rezip it using "store" and not normal in winrar....

But the problem is that now i have a white screen at the start of each animation... any ideas of why this is happening? I didnt change the size of images- used the original dext file as the same size images and same number of images as the original...

i have attached it here so maybe someone can help....

anyone?

thanks
[Android Themes] drater:
didnt have time for a proper look or to test it but you have a file "thumbs.db" in your "part0" and "part1" folders, this may be causing it as its only meant to be the png files in the folders, cant say for certain though

[Android Themes] MINUS Stl:
Yep. I will say this.... Making the animation is easy. It's the damn desc.txt file that's the hard part. That thing can be so picky. One bootanimation.zip may work, but change the images (keeping filenames, folders, and desc.txt the same) and your new .zip may not work. It's quite frustrating. :mad:

(Im running Cannon202 v1.2 eclair, no danger SPL)
[Android Themes] drater:
yeah, it can be, if you need any help with that ill be happy to help
[Android Themes] MINUS Stl:
well I under stand the resolution is the first to numbers but the rest...there seems to be no rhyme or reason to it. 'part 0' is supposedly the animation that doesn't loop, but in my openECLAIR animation, all the images are in 'part 0' and it continuously loops no problem.
[Android Themes] drater:
this might help:

The original file looks like this: 480 427 30p 1 0 part0p 0 10 part1

-480 - stretched width of the animation (my orig files were 256x256 pixels)

-427 - stretched height of the animation

-30p - this controlled the speed of both parts of the animation

-1 - this defined how many times part0 of the animation looped

-0 - saw no change when altering this number

-part0 - folder containing first part of the animation

-p - this was a bit confusing as there is no space between the words "part0" & the "p". I tried adding a space and changing this number -> "part0 30p". I expected this to change the speed of the second part of the animation, but there was no change as far as I could tell.

-0 - this defined the number of times part1 of the animation looped (0=infinite)

-10 - saw no change when altering this number

-part1 - folder containing second part of the animation

found that at droidforums posted by "bots"
[Android Themes] MINUS Stl:
yeah, that might help. If I was at home I'd post up the desc.txt for openECLAIR for comparison.

Ooh! 4shared! :D

Here's from my desc.txt

320 480 15

p 0 0 part0

The png's are 320x480
[Android Themes] drater:
ah, i see our part0 loops continuously because:

320 480 15

p 0 0 part0

that zero is usually a one, and when its zero it loops continuously.. guessing you probably figured that bit out from my last post though? i learned something anyway :D

im gonna try adding a "part2" folder, see if i can make the desc.txt work with more than just 2 folders. might come in handy.. i dont know. Edit: did not work
[Android Themes] MINUS Stl:
so does the speed "fps?" (15 in OE's case) have anything to do with receiving a black screen on reboot? Or what does cause the black screen?
[Android Themes] drater:
when do you get the black screen? just before your animation? or just after or....?
[Android Themes] MINUS Stl:
Before. My animation never shows up. The one for openECLAIR works fine, but I haven't got Blue_Haze working yet. I just keep getting a black screen no matter what I edit.
[Android Themes] drater:
oh ok, would it be worth me taking a look? see if i can figure it out?
[Android Themes] MINUS Stl:
Sure. I'll upload the zip in a bit.

Edit: Here ya go.

http://www.4shared.com/file/228489182/7a2506c2/Blue_Haze_bootanimation.html
