if you read the 2009 restuls from Sprint; they spend like $950 million on handset subsidy. Considering their ARPU is roughly that of ATT and Verizon, but yet millions less subs, add that to the fact that Spring does not do 2-4-1 on anything but Entry level (including smart phones -- think BB Curve) I doubt the "Highest spec'd phone of 2010 " will have 2-4-1 , but if ti does i'll get 2!

Hey, new to the droid scene here, but I was able to get root and installed the barnacle wifi tether app today following the instructions found here:

http://forum.droidmod.org/index.php?topic=1004.0

Hope it's not bad form linking to other forums, but I hadn't found this here yet. I don't know about the nandroid backup, i'm still working on the backup options myself. When I did it this way, it did not wipe all my data and apps, so I liked this method since wifi tethering was all I was really after as well. Good Luck

There was an app for the iPhone in cydia that allowed you to preview and download ringtones from audiko straight to the phone.

I was wondering if there was anybody that could make an app like that for android.

I would gladly buy the paid app or donate for a free app that has the following features.

1. Chose from the different versions of each ringtone.

2. Preview ringtone (stream it).

3. Download ringtone straight to either the phone or sdcard ringtone dir.

4. Once downloaded have the option to set the ringtone as default or assign to a contact download only from within the app.

5. An option to pick songs in the phones music library to trim into custom ringtone. Maybe even an option to upload the custom created ringtone to audiko.net

Thanks in advanced,

Rick

Ive attached them anyway as It's a stunning theme, might have what your after as I've seen a couple of different ones (Variants), I find this the most stable.

Also works for me as I'm on a old version of Manila,

Of course it goes without saying,

All credits go to the theme creator grzegorz10 from xda-developers.com and also matt_jackson for the working “Dusk Leo Dialer”. :D

Hi to all i have buy the HTC Desire from http://www.clove.co.uk and my device have only 139 of ram ? :confused: :confused: :confused:

Uploaded with ImageShack.us
[Desire General] djind:
It's normal, every Desire has around 140mb free for apps. I think Android takes some and Sense takes some, and some is reserved probably for whatever reason. Leaving you with 140mb. Google has announced that it will be possible to install apps on the SD Card in the near future. Don't worry about it.
[Desire General] Kamran9558:
Everyone has the same amount of memory as yours, The rest of the memory is used by Operating system, If you want to install more apps then go for "root" and install A2SD. you can find loads of topics here and at modaco. Go through the desire sections properly and u will find all the answers to your questions.
[Desire General] crypta:
it's rom not ram *sigh*
[Desire General] amjad_2020:
oh thanks for all :D
[Desire General] Ti-Mike:
i always use this very simple explanation

Let's say you have some land and would like to build a parking on it.

The size of your land is 100 square meters

Each car needs 10 square meters....but in the end you can't park ten cars on the your land , because you have to deducted the white lines etc....this is the same thing with Hard drives etc .......some KBytes are needed for the root system etc.....
[Desire General] ToxicWasted:
Wrong, it's RAM.
[Desire General] misterdev:
Wrong to all that are saying to install app2sd. OS and applications are installed in the ROM, but launched in the RAM.
[Desire General] djmcnz:
ROM = Read Only Memory

RAM = Random Access Memory

All of the application memory in the phone is non-volatile RAM.

Traditionally a ROM can only be written by flashing it offline. This is to say that runtime read/write access is atypical.

Proceeding from this premise, the only real ROM(s) in the phone are the radio and boot images. The rest of the memory holds a normal rw file system.

In theory, all of the "ROM's" here are not really ROM's at all, they're operating systems... much like Windows is an OS, not a ROM.
[Desire General] crypta:
so I am interested in your suggestion fpr normal forum talk, to sort these things out.

in the technical explanation you are mostly right.

so how you would call the storage and the working memory in one simple term? ;)
[Desire General] djmcnz:
v-ram (volatile ram = working space)

nv-ram (non-volatile ram = storage space)

- In pure engineering terms this isn't true but the paradigm is to treat memory allocation as volatile.

But then, it does become semantic very quickly. It used to be that the only thing many people ever flashed were roms... this was because traditionally the only type of nv solid state storage that the average person had access to was a rom - never needed to flash ram because it was (mostly) volatile (yes, there are exceptions). The point being that people associated "flashing" with "roms" when "flashing" should really be associated with "solid state memory" (of any description).

So, the correct term is "flashing" yes, but we've incorrectly incorporated/encompassed the term "rom" in the extended definition.

If you flash a boot image you're doing a rom flash

If you flash a radio image you're doing a rom flash

If you "flash" a CyanogenMod "ROM" (for example) you're actually just copying an archive to a file system, expending it and executing it.

And all rather pointless because we all know what everyone means when they say "I flashed my phone" :)
[Desire General] crypta:
funny to see this threads next to each other:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=675703

and clearly, theres no ROM like in commodore time (c64 / amiga), but it is called so, even in the specs of many devices.
[Desire General] cgrec92:
HDD hard disk drive - where user files such as images, videos, music are stored

ROM read only memory - where the system lies (normally can not be written to)

RAM random access memory - memory in which applications are launched and remain until ended (for example anti-virus software will stay in the RAM)

Hello everybody

I often read that everybody want to have a personal taskbar and softkeybar.

Now i found a easy way to make this.

1.

At the first step you look for a wallpaper what you want to have and open it in Photoshop or another programm you like to work with.

2.

In second step you create your own taskbar and softkeybar like this in the attached picture.

3.

Now put the taskbar and softkeybar over the wallpaper you want and save it as .PNG or .JPG.

4.

Now create a wallpaper cab with HDwall with transperent top and bottom bar and install your wallpaper at your device.

Thats all. :D

Sry for my bad englisch but i hope you understand what i mean!!?? :)

With this program you can create Wallpaper.cabs This cabs can you install to your device as an HQ Wallpaper.

1. You can create wallpapers that show your normal task and bottombar

2. or you can create wallpapers that fill the complete screen(called transperent wallpapers).

For transperent wallpapers push in HDwall Config--->advanced profile editor---->and check the option WM 6.5 Taskbar and Softkeybar Skinning.

[Nexus One Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Ok, we all know about the volume level changes on CodeAurora. I'm trying to take it a step further, as the speaker is still incredibly soft compared to my G1. I'm working on some kernel mods to boost the audio further.

If you look in q6audio.c where (along with board-mahimahi-audio.c) the audio hacks are made. The current mod just raises the values within the current range settings.

However, in q6audio.c at line 1275-1287 it defines the stream volume. There is code there to check if the min/max ranges set earlier in the file and in board-mahimahi-audio.c are within the ranges of the chip as I'm guessing defined by Qualcomm. My idea is to change those values, thus setting a higher range that we can use to set the volume. I've changed the code to set it at 3200 max & -2000 min which matches the original range of 1200 to -4000.

Then I set the values at 2000 & -400 for the speaker in the ealier min/max definitions at the beginning of q6audio.c & board-mahimahi-audio.c and I hear no discernable difference. Why?

When I change the values back to the original 1200 to -4000 and then just set the min/max values lower to see if it gets quieter, there is no difference yet again. I know my kernel is building right, because if I change kernel freqs/voltages it works, and if I change RAM tables it works, why won't the audio changes work?

Any kernel chefs wanna weigh in here? Any ideas to boost audio more? Thanks all, maybe we can finally get decent volume on our Nexii!
[Nexus One Android Development] ComplexMinded:
From my own experiences, I think modding the audio on my G1 eventually caused the speaker to blow.. So i bought a N1. I've also heard that it's common with HTC phones. With that said i'm very interested to see where this goes.
[Nexus One Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Yeah I have no intention of pushing things too far lol. I'll be careful with values & test things on my own before (read: if) I ever release anything.

Still, I have no responsibility if you guys screw up.
[Nexus One Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Tried again with slightly different settings. Still a no go.

Gunna look at some more code tomorrow night (maybe ADIE tables & some other ****).

One idea that hit me, though its over my head, would be boosting the voltage running to the speaker? Stupid or no? I'm guessing it would be in a GPIO setting somewhere. Board-mahimahi.c? Something in the qdsp6 folder where the q6audio & ADIE files are?

Sorry just kinda rambling here. Trying to spark some brighter minds than my own. Running out of ideas, any help would be appreciated ;)
[Nexus One Android Development] vegetaleb:
Did you try the final Desire audio kernel? Reviews showed that Desire has 30% more volume for ringtones...
[Nexus One Android Development] kelddaug:
I think that the loudspeaker on Nexus and Desire is screamy(high freq) it needs more bass, but i dont think its made for that.

It sounds terrible strident.
[Nexus One Android Development] Meltus:
Some sort of progress

If you push libhtc-acoustic.so from a Desire build to '/system/lib' and restart the media server ("killall mediaserver") it then tries to load a file called 'TPA2018.csv' and when it fails it says something along the lines of "Speaker Amplification Failed". I managed to track this file down and i can get it to successfully load, but then it fails trying to load '/dev/tpa2018d1' and try as i might, i can't find this file anywhere.

I'm not in a position where i can build the source at the moment but if anyone could try building this file (if it's even present in the source) it would be very helpful :D
[Nexus One Android Development] Geniusdog254:
The reason its failing is because the Nexus doesn't have that hardware. The TPA2018.c file runs a check to see if your on a CDMA revision device and if you are it enables an extra pin on the chip that amplifies it. That is a dead end since even hardcoding it to try and load that pin will fail since it doesn't exist on UMTS devices.

I did however find some gain settings in a few files that I'm going to try out once I get outta school today though. It should work, but we'll have to wait and see.

Also, interestingly enough it seems as though the CDMA revisions support stereo speakers. The code has support for left/right device speakers in CDMA mode.

It seems those of us that bought GSM/UMTS Nexii are getting continually shafted. Weaker screens, crappy touch sensor on both revisions, worse speaker. Oh well though, I still love my Nexus.
[Nexus One Android Development] Meltus:
Ah that's a shame. Thanks for the info though, it sucks that i've been chasing a dead end with that, it looked so promising too :(
[Nexus One Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Also, /dev/tpa2018d1 isn't a file, its a link to a hardware device. In this case the speaker amplifier pin. Manufacturer page here @ TI page. Obviously a speaker amplifier chip, I would need to see a Nexus board to see if its present or not, but I have no idea how to go about that. I'd have to talk to a disassembly expert.

Anyways, I did a little more work.

To start with, in pmic.h:

Lines 39-49 have a speaker gain settings table. This is used in files like board-mahimahi-audio.c. The "SPKR_GAIN_PLUS12DB" is already whats defined. So I added a setting for 16DB gain. More on that later.

Next, in board-mahimahi-audio.c:

Lines 71-136 have the speaker enable methods.

Lines 120-121 already used the pmic_spkr_set_gain method as defined in pmic.h. I added those methods to lines 84-85 & 94-95 in the code where it turns on the speaker.

Still a no go. Does anyone else have any clues on this?
[Nexus One Android Development] karnovaran:
So with the Desire kernel being released, is there a chance some progress can be made with this?

http://member.america.htc.com/download/RomCode/Source_and_Binaries/bravo_54b7033a.tar.gz
[Nexus One Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Unfortunately no :(

We know that the Desire uses the TPA2018 speaker amplification chip, like in the CDMA Nexii. There is a config file for it in the Desire ROMs (not Nexus Desire ROMs, real Desire ROMs). The GSM Nexus doesn't have that chip, so that method won't ever boost audio for us.

The best bet is in either the ADIE tables which we can't figure out, or changing the maximum values in the settings for the Snapdragon audio hardware, then boosting it higher, and in my personal tests I don't notice any difference at all.

Hi there

I currently own a Touch Diamond 2 and I like the resistive screen. I like to be able to press with my nails and I feel better using this screen than all the new capacitive screens.

But what are my options? My TD2 is getting a bit worn out (already replaced the digitizer 2 times).

I would like a slightly bigger screen - resistive

Slightly better battery life - if possible

but are there any options? It seems like all phones coming out are capacitive
