[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] johnsongrantr:
Looks like the guy wants to copy something that was demo'd in a winmo7 phone.

I think it's a good idea, recent calls widget would be nice, along with any of the other "tiles" or widgets they have going on in the new winmo. One of the greatest parts of being an open OS is that if you like the idea that someone else has came up with, you can take that idea and run with it.

just looking down at a widget on the homescreen would be even easier than this method if it was available
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] dmc971989:
GDE home experience has a full screen widged that shows recent calls/texts...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] johnsongrantr:
I actually purchased that to check out a bunch of skins... haven't checked it in... well months .. I'll have to go back and check it agian. Wonder if there's a "standard android" widget
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] dmc971989:
im not sure but all i was getting at is that if you like the widget im sure a dev on here would have the know how to pull the .apk from GDE and make it a stand alone widget for any android system?

Edit: thats only IF you payed for GDE...
[HD2 General] rawmondwlesmana:
Is There any problem when you guys receive a phone call?

I have mine freeze (with sound like bee buzzzz) for view time (not allways) when I'm push or slide the touch screen to answer the call and I need to push the reset button to recover.

Please help???

I live in jakarta - Indonesia and I proud to use HD2 :)

I used original rom1.4xx
[Nexus One General] TFJ4:
What do you guys keep the brightness at for your screen? Also hows the battery life? Thanks, personally I keep mine at the lowest and am really tempted to raise it!
[Nexus One General] McFroger3:
I keep mine at the lowest also, only time I change it is if im outside and its sunny out. Otherwise the lowest is bright enough for me.
[Nexus One General] lightforce:
around 60% i love how the screen looks when its bright
[Nexus One General] TFJ4:
Ironic...I change mine when I'm outside too, AMOLED is horrible in the sun light but its great otherwise..
[Nexus One General] McFroger3:
Yea I have to agree there. I have to do the same crap with my ZuneHD when im outside. but this screen is to amazing to be bothered by it.
[Nexus One General] galaxys:
Around 50%+ mostly, unless I'm using it outside.
[Nexus One General] david1171:
Keep mine on whatever the middle setting on the power control widget is (~40% I believe) most of the time unless I am outside or if I wake up and look at my phone in the dark, then I cut the brightness all the way or go blind from the whites on the screen;)
[Nexus One General] gunnner:
So I take it that everyone else has the same problem with auto-brightness: that it fluctuates up and down too quickly?
[Nexus One General] Red MacGregor:
auto works great for me... *shrug*
[Nexus One General] NexusDro:
I use auto and it has been working fine for me.
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
I keep mine on auto, but it does fluctuate from time to time. For example, when I hold the phone sideways with the light sensor shaded, it will dim of course, which can be really annoying because it should only dim when I'm in a dimly lit environment.
[Nexus One General] TurboTsi:
Yea I actually have this problem too. Its pretty annoying, and well I guess I don't want to use the manual brightness, because there is a sensor on the phone for a reason. I want to use ALL the features.
[Nexus One General] ATnTdude:
I use an app called "Brightness Level" by CurveFish. I like it better than the power widget since it has more levels (default switches between 0, 36 & 100). I keep mine at 25% but it still looks better than most phones at 15%. Reducing brightness from 36 to 25 means the screen is eating 70% of my battery by days end instead of 78%. 15 reduces it further to around 65%.

The problem with auto is that A) It jumps around too much. 2) it turns the screen down whenever I use the horizontal keyboard. And d) the sensor really sucks. I turn the phone 10 degrees and it ups the setting by 3 notches.
[Nexus One General] ztm.000:
It's hard to tell whether the screen brightness versus battery life is worth it ya know? I wanna show off the screen but have enough juice at the end of the day.. so.. what do you all suggest besides auto?
[Nexus One General] EarthsiegeTA:
I keep mine at full brightness. Haven't seen an issue with battery life, but then again, I don't play games on it or anything.
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
:eek: I need sunglasses to use the phone with the screen brightness to full! You better be careful or you'll burn your retinas.
[Nexus One General] ztm.000:
Ya man no joke this is one bright ass screen. Ill try tomorrow a day at half then full the next and see if there's a difference in battery life. Thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dreamhunterr:
Hi!

So getting into the whole rom customizing thing. Got a general grasp on how to edit and customize most of the stuff, however, I'm missing one thing.

How can I change android default settings in a way that it's already included in my to be flashed .zip?

Example, let's say I'd like to set a different locale by default, as well activate transition animations with fast speed an so on (like customizations presented on http://developer.android.com/intl/fr/reference/android/provider/Settings.System.html ), how should I do it?

I got it that post-installation, some sqlite databases are created like settings.db, or that i could build an apk with the right permissions that would access and change these properties. However I'd like to this pre-installation, in the simplest way possible!

Any help appreciated.
[G1 Apps and Games] ElahC:
Are there any apps that would post updates of what music your playing to social media like twitter,msn,aim,facebook.

Help

You Have to hard reset the phone:eek:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] unionsparky:
I am sorry if this is asked and answered elsewhere.

I use my Tilt for business primarily and when updating to cooked roms, I've encountered some problems.

The first rom was build 23529 which I liked but couldn't get the PTT feature to reinstall properly. It had a ringtone I liked, Generic1, I think. My ringtones have to be reasonably professional as I frequently receive calls in front of customers.

The second rom is build 21890. I have gotten the PTT to reinstall and it seems to work fine, as does ActiveSync with Exchange. This rom doesn't include even the free games such as solitaire and ball breaker. It also only includes maybe 6 ringtones. The primary tone is 'Let's Make Love Tonight'! As much as I like that song, I cannot have that going off in front of customers.

Is there a ringtone cab somewhere to install a variety of the generally free ringtones that are out there?

Also is there anyway to make the clock smaller with TouchFlo?

Sorry for the n00b questions. I appreciate everyone's work and help.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stylez:
Moved as not ROM Development.

There are loads of ringtone sites or the better alternative stick an .mp3 on your root of storage card.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] unionsparky:
I apologize for posting in the wrong section. The reply given is basically a non-answer to my post. Perhaps I should just spend the time to learn how to cook myself. To me it makes absolutely no sense to eliminate ringtone selection from the base rom. Yes there are websites loaded with ringtones, but as indicated I wish to have a standard, professional sounding ring. The websites provide alternatives to the basic ringtones that I am seeking and that are normally provided with the phone. I do not wish to play a song when my phone rings. I once enjoyed the flexibility of using mp3's for ringtones, but the need for professionalism overrides that.

A general question for those developing the roms... While I can understand the removal of the PTT feature since it is so scarcely used, but why eliminate the provided ringtones from the roms? An argument can be made for the games as bloatware, but ringtones?? I really don't get it. I would think the more the better. They cannot possibly add that much space to the file. Isn't the point in building a rom and sharing it with others to provide something great to others?

Sorry if I am coming across crass. But I don't like being dismissed and I just don't appreciate the answer received. Granted this is paraphrased, but... "Your a dumba**, so I moved your post. You should just use an mp3 for your ring." Sorry again, but obviously if I managed to flash the phone, I realize that an mp3 is an option. I do not wish to go that route. I wish to use a standardized ringtone. Most ringtone websites do not offer them.

Also is there anyway to make the clock smaller with TouchFlo?

HardSPL 3.29 Build 21890 Radio 1.71.09.01

Thanks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stylez:
That all depends what you call a professional ringtone since most provided are just midi tones in .wma format.

You can always flash a stock ROM and take the audio from it then place into custom, wouldn't take long compared to how long it takes to cook a ROM ;)

Attached are the default Rings from a HTC ROM. "just dumped and taken"

In future please think how you reply because i know a lot of users would not have taken there time to help you out after the the rant, to which holds no validity.

Since it seems many of you want the stock sounds i have placed an updated .zip it has about 2 x amount Stock\Topaz\Diamond rings.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:
For real, Stylez is a mod and every time he moves a thread to the appropriate area, he leaves a line saying why it was moved. In this case he also threw out what he thought was helpful information. Damn shame that you couldn't see the helpful nature in that and decided to reply with a snooty message.

Stylez is one of the most helpful people (not just mod) I've seen on this site, and I've seen some helpful people.

If you were so smart, you would have just flashed back to the rom you love so much, copied the ringtones, and then flashed back to the rom you hate and put them on it. Sadly your brain power was used to put down the helpful good natured Stylez..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] unionsparky:
Thank you very much Stylez. You provided me with exactly what I was looking for.

I apologize for the rant.

For the record, I never claimed to be so smart. I had to learn how to flash the phone. I would have had to learn how to dump the rom, or anything else beyond the initial flashing.

Thanks again. :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] denco7:
Since the Mods here are far too professional and helpful to give you the answer you deserve, I will . You claim to be " professional " and need to have professional ringtones for your customers, yet one has to wonder how you " professionally " treat your customers if this is the way you treat people trying to help you " at your request " when you don't get the exact answer you want.I guess your attitude makes me glad I am not one of your customers.

Ringtones and Theme changing is Kaiser 101. You took the time to read and study enough to successfully flash your phone, but you can't be bothered to read or search for ringtones and new themes ?

I know you already apologized to stylez for the rant and I am sure that being the " professional " that " he " is, he will except it and help you going forward in any way.

But to come on a new site and with your first three posts , display such a snotty attitude, I would not count on too much help from any other members.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:
Denco, I sold my Tilt finally, the people were very excited to get it and loved all the stuff Stylez added to his rom.

I have to say that I'm ready to pawn the iPhone too.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Mr. Clown:
Well said denco7.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] denco7:
Me too, I have finally had it with AT$T , they are by far the worst wireless ever

My Tilt has it's course for me, will probably give it to my son with a T-Mobile sim.

I still like my iPhone being an Apple fanboy and have been looking at getting it to run on T -Mobile. But I surely don't like it enough to stick with AT$T. Been looking at the Fender myTouch and the Droid Eris. Or may wait for the HD2 to come to T-Mobile.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:
My at&t service in my area is awesome, I guess they just suck every where else.

I'm just ready for a new gadget, I do get mad that at&t doesn't have an android phone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sniffle:
i am having trouble configuring make for the motorola droid. can anyone help? i need the configuration for the sholes board when running make. everything i compile from source does nothign but FC. i've tried settign up a buildspec.mk in the source directory to have it only compile against the prebuild kernel, and it wasn't enough to stop the FC's. and now i am out of ideas...

any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.
[Touch CDMA General] mikeschevelle:
I am reading about NAND, seems that it is basically a way to flash Google ROMs instead of booting from the memory card.

I have a few questions, I have read that it makes linux run faster and the battery life last longer, my questions are about how much faster and about how much better is the battery life vs running from the card. I am still using a winmo ROM that runs pretty good and gets me a few days of battery life, but I am always itching for something new. I tried Ion and a few others but wasnt even getting close to a day on the battery and it would hang up and/or run slow at times.

Thanks for the guidance, I just wanna do my research before going around flashing with NAND, since I forgot which ROM I am using now and the ability to find it again if I want to revert back to it.
[Touch CDMA General] KralHiPolymer:
With Plemen's Donut build from the Android Development section, I can get about 5-6 days of battery life. And I do not know about the difference in speed as I have only used this build and only on NAND.
[HD2 Accessories] rayraymond:
Hi,

Is there difference between a iPhone 3Gs, Sony Ericsson X1i and HTC HD2 chargers?

The cable will be the one from the HD2 box, but i have these three chargers.

Is it ok to use them all (office, home, room) without harming the phone especially the battery?
[HD2 Accessories] MrDerrickC:
All of them will work
[Nexus One General] blowe46:
Hey Guys

My Nexus one hangs at the startup screen and I can't seem to get it to start. So far, I have tried going into the quick boot screen and clearing the factory settings (i.e hard reset) but it did not change anything. I am bit out of ideas.
[Nexus One General] jerrycycle:
Did you do a nandroid, if so revert back to it and proceed forward from there.
[Nexus One General] blowe46:
sorry, I didn't do an nandroid. Can I do that now?
[Nexus One General] blowe46:
alright, I installed a recovery image and can enter the menu listed here.

Cyanogen's recovery source based on Amon_RA's post.

I restore the setting just fine but then when I reboot the phone still hangs. Is there another step I am missing? Is just having the recovery tool not enough? How do I restore the original settings?
[Nexus One General] mafak:
same problem here did you manage to fix it ?
[Nexus One General] mcaesar88:
Same problem here. I have tried everything but I cant make it past the " X " - looking splash screen. If its of any help, the splash screen is STATIC. :confused:

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus One General] Blueman101:
it almost sounds like either a bad flash or a bad wipe, if you made a nandroid, try resotring it. If you have not rooted or loaded any roms then the problem may be hardware side.
[Nexus One General] mautai916:
think the mobo is acting funny, i sent mines in for repair due to t his issue, but unlocked bootloader makes me pay $194..... im trying to figure it out before i pay as a last resort!
[Nexus One General] dnanj:
I have been using Cyan's rom for quite some time now and am absolutely pleased with his work! But as we all know none of Cyan's rom for the N1, the latest being 5.0.2 at the time of this writing, have app2sd support out of the box.

So begs the question for N1 owners running Cyan's ROM, Are you running Apps2sd?
[Nexus One General] OrganizedFellow:
I'm not planning to use Apps2SD.

Simple because when I had my G1, I was new to Android™ and apps and shtuff.

Now that I've upgraded to the N1, I now know what apps I like, what review sites to trust, which developers to trust, which types of apps I need/want.

I currently use about 5-7 apps daily that I've purchased.

I doubt I will ever have more than a dozen or so installed, even with trial usage of free apps.

Unless something super AMAZING comes out that I gotta try/have/buy.
[Nexus One General] lazinase:
Well, I become nervous when I see the internal storage has only 196MB so I decided to go for app2SD with my 16GB class 6 microSDHC card...
[Nexus One General] temasek:
I also wish to have apps2sd installed as my disk space getting low. I have actually quite a lot of games waiting to be installed but sad I can't yet. Was thinking waiting for Google to provide native SD card apps install support. - I really hope it will happen soon.
[Nexus One General] Raymond77:
No, I have no need for it.

I only have a handful of apps installed. If I want to play something more taxing than Solitaire or Robot Defender I'll fire up my PS3...;)
[Nexus One General] grainysand:
Ditto. I've never gotten into handheld gaming. I'd rather load up Crysis on the PC.
[Nexus One General] Amdathlonuk:
I don't do much gaming either, but why use the phone memory when the SD card is available?

Also it helps when changing ROM's as all my Ext3 apps appear without reloading.

So yes I'm using it and it's great 224 apps installed and 24Mb of my 196Mb used :D
[Nexus One General] lightforce:
200mb's is plenty for me. I got a TON of apps installed and still have 100mbs free. So no need for Apps2SD, which also will slow down ur phone a little.
[Nexus One General] drpfenderson:
Ditto. Slower start time = no thanks.
[Nexus One General] bofslime:
I haven't really seen these huge games. I have and play:

Radiant - 5.36MB

Totemo - 3.82MB

Haven't really found anything else on the market that was worth paying for.

I also have everything I feel like I need, and still have 140MB FREE (extra 40 from Cyanogen) of storage on my phone (out of 196MB).
[Nexus One General] mautai916:
the only reason i use APPS2SD is when i flash new roms or do wipes, my EXT partition is still saved. So when i install/test any new room, apps2sd is enabled and i will have all my apps right where i left them. :)
[G1 General] G1ForFun:
If I am going back to the original G1 SPL (to unroot) then do I also need a radio to flash before hand? I don't want to brick my phone as I am coming from the danger radio and spl.

Thanks.
[G1 General] G-Fetus6:
i believe when you flash to the original g1 rom , that it has a radio already on it

im not positive but thats what ive read
[G1 Android Development] qpon:
Who does it go to? Cyanogen? Super D? fast test 2.5? other contenders?
[G1 Android Development] alapapa:
Ram Dass is the fastest
[G1 Android Development] adelco93:
lol, hahahahahaha
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
Speed is all in your head my friend, if you believe in something it will come true.:)

So I believe stock ROM is the fastest what about you?
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Most of the 1.6 roms lately are fast....I like Super D personally. Fast and has everything I need.
[G1 Android Development] BoomBoomPOW:
Fastest ROM

Nuff' said..
[G1 Android Development] Macrophage001:
Not to be an a hole but yeah....wrong section. :D
[G1 Android Development] thenameismax:
its stock 1.0 that is the fastest IMHO lol
[G1 Android Development] alapapa:
quoted for ossim
[G1 Android Development] nicknowsky:
another Fastest ROM thread?? seriously its what YOU think is fastest, although possibly the HTCCLAY's FastTest ROM [FastClean] is really the fastest
[G1 Android Development] jubeh:
Who cares? after a couple of days they all run like ****.
[G1 Android Development] nicknowsky:
Ram Dass!!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] circleofomega:
There are all sorts of threads except this one, the main topic. Will the current phones that are running the official and the aahemm...not so official WinMo 6.5 have an easy upgrade, the new OS looks stunning and I don't want anything but that OS ON MY PHONE...I don't care what it doesn't have..I JUST WANT IT....

I have an X1, running Spike's Infinite...so the big Q...Can I have it???

THANX!
[Windows Phone 7 General] ovale:
Hoping Touch HD will be ok.
[Windows Phone 7 General] glyndal:
Touch HD2 will be lucky to have it let alone other devices. seeing as 6.5 will be hanging around, I doubt there will be any upgrades.
[Windows Phone 7 General] chribruu:
Not easy to say. It seems WP7s is going to have strict hardware ties. The lack of a search-button on present devices also gives a hint that it might just be available on future phones. I'm personally starting to doubt the rumours that HD2 will get an official update. Time will tell! But i'm confident we'll see it on (some) of our existing phones thanks to the great contributors here on XDA.
[Windows Phone 7 General] insaint:
WVGA minimum, the multitouch probably can be worked around.
[Windows Phone 7 General] circleofomega:
Ok....I was THIS close in buying the Touch HD2 and Touch Diamond 2..but then I heard voices in my head and bought the Xperia X1..not that I am complaining..but I want this on X1 Too....
[Windows Phone 7 General] ATnTdude:
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:

1ghz CPU or snapdragon equivalent

WVGA capacative or alternative multitouch capable screen

512MB RAM/ROM

The whole spec list is on engadget, but it looks like the HD2 and only the HD2 + a couple of phones not yet released (Toshiba TG02) meet the minimum.
[Windows Phone 7 General] walshieau:
Bingo, 1Ghz Snapdragon or better, WVGA Capactive Screen be LED or AMOLED
[Windows Phone 7 General] ATnTdude:
I saw no notice that LED screens will be required. LCD should be fine, although it's a moot point since AMOLED's can be literally printed onto glass with an inkjet, it's going to kill mobile sized LCD on cost alone within 2 years. A win for contrast ratio, a loss for outdoor legibility.
[Windows Phone 7 General] BoboBrazil:
Could probably work on current devices if you could turn off the animated tiles;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] ivk:
I am using HTC 8525 with Win Mob 6.5 OS.

Can I upgrade it to Windows Phone 7?
[Windows Phone 7 General] walshieau:
Nope........
[Windows Phone 7 General] circleofomega:
What about Xperia X1??

Is it a completely NO-NO or a May-be???
[Windows Phone 7 General] walshieau:
Its a complete no, Minimum specs are a 1Ghz Snapdragon processor. 512MB of RAM and 512MB ROM.
[Windows Phone 7 General] circleofomega:
Shyt man, BUT is there a way we can have it modified for X1, or atleast the Zune Music Player for my X1..

plz plz DevGods...I pray thee..
[Windows Phone 7 General] bigx86:
omg..... :eek:

first according to the requirements. I say to you nooooo way in hell. The X1 have everything WinPhone 7 hates, low res. not enough ram, cpu etc........

second of all, until MIX10 no dev here really knows what they are working with....
