I think this is turning into the age old question of which is better, slow and pretty or fast and ugly.

I don't think PC gaming is expensive as it used to be( I haven't updated my hardware in over 2 years and still run pretty much every game out there.). Most games can play on relatively old hardware because they're made to fit the specs of ps3 and Xbox which are getting on a bit now.

[Off-topic] atr0phy:
WinXP is quickly becoming fail because it lacks the newest Direct X. Although it has much less overhead than Win Vista/7.

Not to knock OpenGL, but it can't compete with Direct X, so Linux is outta the question.

But in all honesty, it depends entirely on the hardware the OS is running on. For example, 64-bit is pointless if you have less than 3Gb of RAM. If your PC is a gaming hotrod, then I see absolutely no point in running anything but Win7 x64. Many of the compatibility issues that once plagued Win7 are now gone, so if you've got the horsepower, might as well make proper use of it.

LOL I loaded Win 98 SE on my gaming system for giggles - Fastest Boot EVER! Right until it blue screened ;)

If I had my choice I would still be running Win98 SE Lite (a hack to remove all the M$ bloatware). Probably the fastest Windows has ever run on my machines back in the day.

But with today's hardware - I run Win 7 64 bit Corporate Edition - and even run Hibernate.. I've actually had solid 90 day uptimes with no issues. Eventually I reboot them out of habit.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Jones:
I have just got my Desire and whilst it is great, there are some issues that I would love some help with.

I am syncing with my work Exchange server and it is running quite well. however, I cannot find a way to sync subfolders or indeed any folder other than the Inbox. It seems to render the conversation view in the Mail app useless really (which is a shame).

Also, the security policy at work is that I have to have a password set which is fine except that now everytime I unlock my phone, I have to enter the password. Does anyone know if there is a workaround for this or an app that can help?

Thanks

If you want to use the lock pattern (Gesture) instead then you can do the following:

1. Delete your exchange Setup on the phone.

2. Go into Security and setup a lock pattern.

3. Once that is done and tested readd your exchange account.

4. Download the app called LockPicker from Market place.

5. Go into the program and enable the Override.

6. Enjoy the new way of unlocking your phone.

you can pretty much safely kill all apps that are listed in the app killer, if your disabling startup apps then thats a bit of a different story. My personal advice is to forget app killers all together. They slow down the performance of your android device and android already manages your memory and apps for you. Just let it be.

Does anyone out there know if there exists an APK of the Power Control Widget, but clear? I tried doing it with some metamorph zips I found, but they didnt work at all.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] VinceOB:
The clear part of the widget is spread across different framework files. Well, actually just the one. So, you'd have a modified com.htc.resources.apk to deal with. Better off just doing it yourself.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Heaterz16:
just adb pull your com.htc.resources.apk and I can update it for you if you don't want to change it yourself, pretty easy.

It is called appwidget_bg.9 and it is located in /system/framework/com.htc.resources.apk

unzip the .apk file and locate the png in res/drawable-mdpi folder

While we're on the sunject, where do I change the color (and potentially shape) of the green bars below the widget. Like, the green indicators that show that you have one of the options set to on.

I have been on cyanogen and super d for a while now but recently decieded to try out the eclair Hero and sense roms, eclair flashes fine and I can flash the Kingklix hero rom no problem but I cant flash any other hero or sense rom.

Jacheroski rom at first just got stuck in a boot loop after reflashing the radio and spl it boots but everything and I mean everything force closes phone acore mms it doesnt even get to the setup process I have to do a battery pull and reflash kingklix.

On the sense roms it boots into htc quietly brilliant or nexus boot screen then just stops there waited more than 20mins for it to boot, nothing happens.

I've updated to the latest radio installed the death spl and updated to the latest recovery but I still cant get any other rom to flash, can anyone help

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Binary100100:
what rom are you currently trying to flash?

what does logcat show while it's loading? (adb shell logcat)

is it stuck at the G1 screen or at the HTC animated screen?

what ext partition do you have? (type and size)

Did you wipe your ext partition, data and system first?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonnibravo:
Yes I followed all the instructions doing a full wipe I repartitioned the sd card I changed the swap to required values. I was stuck at the HTC screen.

Since then I have managed to get kingklix Legend2g1 to flash it took nearly 20 minutes to boot but now works perfect.

Still cant flash Jacheroski rom though but I think it was the swap that needed to change, I tried to put a large swap on to help speed the rom up but it only seems to flash on 96 swap.

Thanks Sam. I just installed one but I still get the annimated tmo get together crap before the newly installed one opens. Do you think its something I'm doing wrong?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
i suspect you installed the cab, not flashed the bootscreen, , , , its a multi image process, first the bootscreen, then the roms loading animation, then the welcome screen, and you only need to change the bootscreen, which is an nbh file, the other two parts are cabs.

You need the first part, the HD2 Splash Screen V2.zip from part A

actually, ive just thought, i havent read anything from tmous users flashing splash screens, i doubt theres a difference, but maybe best to hold off, , ,, please be careful!
[HD2 General] mobi:
Cheers Sam!
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
no problem, ,, is that 'cheers i flashed it and it works', , or 'cheers for the warning i wont bother for now'

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eclair~:
I use to use Sense, but switched back to Cyanogen because I don't enjoy the fact that Desire ROMs are not as speedy as stock, or ROMs based off of stock. I love Sense more, but speed is also not to be forgotten, I can easily feel the difference.

There are also several quirks that can occur.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlevy73:
I probably would use Sense if bluetooth would work reliably but I have a feeling that shipped has sailed. So until Paul gets BT working and a few other bugs worked out I'm sticking to CM Roms and Pershoot's kernels
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eclair~:
Well we all know HTC has to release the Desire kernel source eventually, which is how Paul said Bluetooth would be supposedly be fixed.

They have merely 60 days from the official release of the Desire to release the source before it becomes illegal. I'm sure they want to uphold their moral standards..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul22000:
What I don't understand is why they're taking so long to release the Desire code, when the Incredible's code was already released -- less than a week since it's release??!!

I have to wonder if HTC is looking at Paul's work and not releasing it because of that haha :eek: :D Maybe they're trying to figure out a way to modify the code so it's not able to be ported to the N1

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d.cortez:
i've been using Sense UI since R8. i tried R20 and R21, but those releases weren't as stable as R19, so i've been on R19 for the last 5 weeks. what i like most about the Sense UI ROM are the native features/functionality i use everyday. by native i mean out-of-the-box apps. these include:

Exchange functionality (mail, calendar and contacts); push email has worked flawlessly for me with the Sense UI ROM

mail app features - threaded email view, ability to resize fonts, view emails from/to contacts, signature for each email account

contacts features (screen to see txts, email and calls by contacts)

agenda calendar widget (60 day view via scrolling, ability to view my gmail and Exchange calendar on the same widget)

contact favorites widgets (one group for family one for work)

email widget (scroll/view for new mail, tap email to open directly)

i also prefer the native black task bar, so no need to install a task bar theme. i prefer a conservative look with access to the things i use most. i don't like icons on every screen, so i use the app drawer (?) to access and launch programs. i haven't used CM's ROM since 5.0.3, so i can't offer an opinion on speed, etc. navigational speed on R19 is great from my perspective. fyi, i'm using intersectRavens (4.29) kernel with R19 and am seeing a notable improvement in battery life. i'm using a Jabra BT device for music and calls and it connects every time i turn on Bluetooth and the headset. i suspect this is due to me using the custom kernel.

the only 3rd party customizations i've installed are morphs for the HTCClockWidget (custom font and no background), the mail icon and the message icon. the fact that all of us have customization options is a really a great thing! options like Sense ROMs, CM ROMs, etc, allows me to "make it (my N1) mine"!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prophetjinn:
The only reason i don't personally use SenseUI roms is because of the wake on trackball feature. I love the sense ui, i don't mind the power consumption, but i just don't want to risk overusing my power button and i really do like the wake on trackball mod that can be used with none-sense ui roms.

(lawl none-sense)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x986123:
Using it since the day I rooted, and loving it. R19 is fast and stable.

Running IntersectRaven's CFS kernels, good battery life, faster then stock Sense.

Overall, I love the UI details and how smooth it is. The widgets were a BIG factory for me. I hate having 5 homescreens with icon clutter, and mis-shaped widgets. I love getting access to Email, Twitter, Weather, and News all from one place, without launching several applications.

LED Notifications work, Intersect's kernels added a bunch of optimizations, and I can run Sense without a task killer at all. 110mb free on average, no lag and fast app launches.

I wish that the zooming animation for application launch was still there though.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2000impreza:
I've been running the R21 Desire rom for the last several weeks as the primary. Haven't run into any problems yet. So far I prefer the Desire rom over Cyan and Enom. The power consumption on the Desire rom is not bad at all when used in combination with the IntersectR or Diet kernel.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techlogik:
My two cents, if you are an Exchange user...it is a must. The mail/calendar/contacts app in the desire build are essential for me personally.

The sms app on here kills kills kills the stock setup it seems anywhere u are can see who and how many text or calls or whatever u actually have.
