hmm, one thing i've noticed having not used skyfire since WinMo is that it's alot slower then on winmo, sites take forever to load
[Touch CDMA Android Development] fldash:
Yea, it's still garbage... Flash isn't that important to me...
[Touch CDMA Android Development] manifest3r:
Doesn't run too smooth on our Phones, but i've seen it on the N1 and it runs silky smooth :)

I tried the flash and it's nice, but honestly i'd rather run the YouTube app. Opera gives a much nice and faster browsing experience imo

A bit off-topic here, but has anyone been able to play a High-Quality YouTube video from the app without the app fc'ing? Mine only plays on the low-quality...

Running Myn's latest!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] inertone:
you can download skyfire off the android market now
[Touch CDMA Android Development] fldash:
I wonder how it'd run on the incredible... :P

Edit: lol, nm, I totally forgot they were pretty much the same hardware... I don't know why I thought N1 was 800mhz...
[Touch CDMA Android Development] berardi:
tried it and I wasn't impressed. It seems like a skinned version of the standard browser? Also it was too slow to be useable even with my phone overclocked to 510
[HTC Excalibur] Frostmoon:
I flashed the 3vo 6.5 rom again and it works better than it used too, but I have a problem my rings and notifications are the same, my text notifications volume is my rings volume? anyway to fix this?
[HTC Excalibur] Mr. Clown:
start>settings>profiles>menu>edit ;)...then you configured it at your own choice.
[HTC Excalibur] Frostmoon:
I meant my notifications volume doesn't work, my notification volume is my ring volume, the notifications volume does nothing.

*Update* it seems all my volumes are my ring volume, every volume is controlled by the ring volume. The ring volume seems to be acting like a "Master Volume" for all the other seperate volumes.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sunsean:
Hi, been scanning the 'general' threads for a while, but didn't see an answer for this (maybe because it's obvious, idk :P)

Anyway, should a MT3G 1.0 owner (first gen MT3G) flash ROMS from the MT3G forum or the G1 forum? I know it has to be a ROM for 32b, but beyond that - is there any advantage/disadvantage? Or are all ROMS for the first gen MT and the G1 the same?

I've been flashing from G1 forums, and have been happy with the roms, but am just wondering if I should be taking them from the MT3G forum, i.e. if there's any difference/benefit...still a noob, and trying to figure things out. Thanks for any insight!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Honestly77:
Honestly the Sapphire forum was around long before the MT3G. I see a lot of people in the G1 forum making their roms compatible with G1/32B (32B Means mytouch3g) So go there if you can. Check out cyan 2.1!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bunu:
99% of ROMs for the G1 is compatible with the original mytouch. Also sapphire ROMs/32B Magic ROMs are compatible also.

If you want an Android 2.1 ROM that has a great dev and is fully working then check out the latest Cyanogen. The ROMs title is in my sig.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sunsean:
Thanks guys for the tips. I figured as much, about the g1 and original mytouch roms being good for both devices, but just wanted to put it out there out of curiosity. And thanks for the cyanogen tip too - thinking about trying it, but tbh I'm addicted to sense ui. I just think it looks so much nicer than stock android, so I've been sticking to sense roms only...but sounds like cyanogen is the stock rom to go with if I change my mind!
[Hero CDMA General] Leukay:
Since I see a lot of people complaining about keyboard lag on their phones, I thought I'd start a thread of tricks you can use to minimize or even eliminate the keyboard lag. If you guys have any tricks or ways to minimize lag, post them, and I will update this first post. We can use this as a collection of ideas for fixing the problem.

I'll start with my personal favorite.

1. Install the stock android 2.1 messaging app. Use adb to push the Mms.apk attached below, to /system/app. On some odex'd roms, you may need to adb shell rm /system/app/Mms.odex as well.

Although this first suggestion always pretty much eliminates lag for me, and is a much much faster and better app IMO, we can have some other things to try as well.

2. Install a different keyboard. Here are some options

-Stock android keyboard

-Better Keyboard (from market)

-Smart Keyboard (from market)

-Swype (from forums, search for swype lite)

-Shapewriter (from market)

-SwiftKey (post #5 of this thread) - thanks danaf37

3. Disabling sounds, haptic feedback, and word completion stuff

Let me know if you have any other tricks you use. Hope this helps someone!

Lol, good tip, but this is more for people who don't really wanna change roms for some reason. Fresh Toast is definitely the shizz though
[Hero CDMA General] swaze:

[Shift Development] barracudax:
good afternoon all.

recently i bought shift x 9500 the os windows vista chinese edition and the room in chinese too.

the seller told me that i can ask htc to change it,

but after i called the customer care they told me that htc cant change the default of the os n rom

they told me too i can change it by my self but the waranty will void after that.

so before i do something with my shift. its better to ask 1st .

can my shift bricked if i failed in os instalation or rom instalation ?

and i tried to find win7 os for notebook but i cant find it in microsoft website.

they said the download an trial are closed in march 2010

where can i find decent os n rom

any sugestion ?

thanks in advanced guys

best regard.

sorry for my poor english
[Shift Development] pikefish:
You can brick your shift if You'll make mistake.

You can install WinXP or Win7 on your shift.It's possible.

Also you can change language of Winmo side by using liberated rom.In such case at first you should install HardSpl to unlock rom.After you can install any rom on your shift.

Seek on forums.
[HD2 General] Heartbreak:
I'm looking to enable Blue-tooth file transfer, as I don't want to have to plug in my phone to my laptop everytime I want to exchange files. Is this possible?
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
Hi,

Yes,

Just open the Bluetooth settings in Settings -> Menu -> All Settings
[HD2 General] Heartbreak:
?

I know how to open a Bluetooth connection, I want to know how to transfer files from my laptop to my phone, and vice versa. Any clue on how to do that?
[HD2 General] kilrah:
Right click on file, send to, Bluetooth? Would be a good idea to say what OS you're on.
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
You'll need to pair the devices first if you haven't already.

What operating system are you using on your laptop? Windows? Mac?
[HD2 General] Heartbreak:
Laptop OS is Windows 7, and T-Mobile USA HD2, the devices are already linked. What would be the next step? :) Any help is appreciated.
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
Have you connected the phone via ActiveSync using the USB cable yet?

Its not necessary to do so, but it might make things a bit quicker.

When you right-click on a file on your laptop, and hover your mouse pointer over "Send To", do you have "Bluetooth Device" listed?
[HD2 General] Heartbreak:
They are linked, and they recognize each other, but when I right click on a picture and go to "Send to" there is no option for Bluetooth Devices. Are there any options that should be checked on the phone or computer?
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
Is there a Bluetooth icon down by the clock on the Start/Task bar?

If so, right-click on it and go to Open Settings.

Under "Connections" (about halfway down the window) do you have both tickboxes ticked?
[HD2 General] Heartbreak:
Yea, they are both checked. It tries to install a driver and fails when I attempt to troubleshoot the phone.
[HD2 General] ephestione:
Just to bring you my experience. I do not have a BT dongle on my desktop which runs seven x64 yet I prefer to use the usb cable which is always plugged, yet the few times I installed a bt dongle here I could quite easily send files, even if I don't remember the exact path :p

Anyway, with my ubuntu laptop it's as immediate as choosing "browse files on <devicename>" and it just opens the microsd contents, where you can transfer files to/from, so probably there's something similar in windows that I am forgetting about?

What I know is that as soon as you have BT working on your PC it shoudn't need a driver, the OBEX protocol is a standard so no matter what device you connected, if it offers OBEX, the pc knows how to handle transfers no matter what the device is
[HD2 General] Heartbreak:
What you have with your Ubuntu laptop, is exactly, while it would be awesome to be able to send and recieve files back and forth from the two devices, what would be ideal is the ability to browse through the contents of the device, and MicroSD, wirelessly over BT. I'm wondering if Windows 7 offers something like that or maybe a certain program for 7, might offer that functionality.
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
Windows Mobile Device Center should already be installed and offers that.
[HD2 General] VidMan:
Also you have to enable Bluetooth file transfer (object push) in bluetooth settings in order for your phone to receive anything. No idea why this is disabled by default.
[HD2 General] cozzykim:
It works nicely with the right setup in Linux

PCLinuxOS 2010 with Blueman and Nautilus [/smug] ;)
[HD2 General] ephestione:
yeah, I agree, yet the OP needs it under Win 7 :p

Probably the input by VidMan is correct, he needs to enable the OBEX on ther HD2 as well, from bluetooth settings
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Treatcon:
Very frustrated right now and have a question.

I'm trying to change the shortcut icon in Phone.apk and Contacts.apk. I created a MetaMorph for it. No problem, easy stuff.

Whenever I push the morph to /system/app/Contacts.apk or to Phone.apk all seems well. After I click on the icon for my contacts it says something along the lines of "Application not installed". :confused: Ok so I restart my phone... shortcut icons are gone, try to make new ones and Contacts or Phone isn't even there and I have no service carrier, 3G or anything.

Restore from nanodroid backup... Everything is good again... I adb pull the Contacts.apk file over on my notebook, only toss in the new ic_launcher_contacts.png file into the /res/drawable-hdpi folder. Easy enough and I got the png from the CM 5.0.6 Contacts.apk. Dimensions are the same, file size is almost same. adb shell stop, remount, push and get the same error, "Application is not installed". Reboot the phone and shortcut icon is gone, and can not create a new one since the Contacts isn't even in my list anymore of installed apps. So now I have phone service, 3G and all since I didn't mess with Phone.apk, but no contacts unless I go some long route.

Now I'm thinking that it's because I need to sign the apk before pushing it. Remove the META-INF folder from the apk, recertify the apk, push it and same as above.

What am I missing here, anybody please?? :confused:

Thank you in advance!

PS

I did do a search but only found that the same thing happened with one person on Enother's ROM, no fix was posted, only restored a nanobackup and waited for a new ROM to be posted.

**EDIT**

I'm using 7zip to explore the apk files. I at no time fully extract the folder structure. Only copy over the one png I want to replace.

Thats the way it works.

Here is the issue I think:

E/PackageManager( 114): Package com.android.contacts signatures do not match the previously installed version; ignoring!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Treatcon:
Thinking the only way around this is repacking up the entire theme with updated images and flash it all over again :(

Bought and tried BetterCut, but it didn't work for me. Kept getting FC's and telling me to reinstall because of OpenHome? Never had OpenHome installed before? Emailed the author informing them of this.

Anybody else know how to get this to work? Thanks for the help thus far britoso and hope something comes to mind on how to get this to work.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
Could you provide some extra info on what your morph changes in Contacts.apk

Have you tried creating a new modded apk and signing that. (uninstall old, sign and push mod)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Treatcon:
I'm trying now to get the originals uninstalled, but it won't let me. Looking for an app that will allow me to do this. Will deleting the apk's with Root Explorer from /system/app/ be the same as uninstalling it? Attached are the files I'm trying to change and the only thing I want changed are 1 png from each apk. LOL so frustrating! Editing framework-res.apk and Launcher2.apk is so much easier!!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
Wonder if its because CM uses Wysie's modded contacts app....
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jairomeo:
That doesn't affect this.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jairomeo:
in 2.1 you do not need to sign the apk but you cannot just mod and push it. For Contacts.apk or Phone.apk you need to use zipalign (comes with the sdk).

zipalign -f 4 Contacts.apk NewContacts.apk
adb push NeContacts.apk /system/app/Contacts.apk

Follow the same methodology for Phone.apk

These are system apps, you do not need to remove the Manifest like you would with a Market app.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
since the problem is that the signatures dont match...

Have you tried:

1)uninstall the official contacts

adb uninstall com.android.contacts

2)install your modded+signed+zipaligned version.

adb install Contacts.apk
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Treatcon:
Not yet, didn't know the commands to install and uninstall were that obvious! LOL I thought it was something complicated :) Just got home and will give it a try after I relax with a Bud. My brain is fried and needs to unwind :s

I just used ninjamorph to update my icons. You might want to check that out.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Treatcon:
Appreciate the help and tried it. NinjaMorph is an amazing app! I love the idea behind it, but alas it didn't work either. Same effect, followed the on screen instructions, finish project and rebooted phone. No contacts or phone :(

Back to the drawing board.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Treatcon:
Got it sorted, thanks all very much for your help. It turned out being a corruption issue or something. I completely nuked my phone, installed Enomther's [ROM] TheOfficial Nexus1 v1.8.1 (been wanting to check it out) and all is fixed. Don't know what the deal was, but at any rate it was something jacked up. Well at any rate I did learn something from this experience!

**EDIT**

Seems as though the corruption is coming from HelixLauncher2.0.7 and BetterCut. They don't play well together! Changed to Laucher2.0.7 and all is working as it should. I can't tell you why, I can just tell you what I experienced with a fresh install of Enomther 1.8.1.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Treatcon:
Wrong thread.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jairomeo:
A lot of people are having issues with Bettercut, and the 2 icons they can't seem to replace are phone and contact. Doesn't make sense, but same time it kind of does.

But again, in Android 2.1 you do no need to sign apps, just zipalign
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Tregrad:
how to remove it completely? it wont remove, it leaves a white square at the top left of my screen. ok got the square off but it still wont remove completley
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] burtonsnow8:
download sktools and run the auto clean, it should get rid of old uninstall info.

Also, you should use something like TMS uninstaller or SK Tools uninstaller to remove programs, it does a better job at getting rid of everything.

Resco explorer allows accessing and mapping network shares.
[HD2 General] rumpleforeskin:
resco also allows FTP access, which is probably better, as the network share requires you to be on the same network (for example connected to your wireless network)

FTP can be accessed anywhere you have data connection but requires you to be running FTP software on your computer.

FTP is very easy to setup and use and will allow you to have access to any file folder that you choose on your PC (handy to have a choice of over 30gig of music to listen to :) )

Also Total Commander CE, which someone mentioned.

GSFinder+ as well.

Yet, I cannot figure out how to do that.

Connected to my home network via wi-fi. The PC's hard drives are set up to be shared. One PC can access the files of another.

I can't figure out how the HD2 can see the PC's files. Can anyone give me exact directions, using any of the tools mentioned?

Also, conversely, is there a way to set up the HD2 for file sharing, so that the PC can access it via the wi-fi network?

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] qazax:
if you create a dropbox folder on your desktop with items in it you wish to access, you can use the browser on your phone to acess, download and modify them via the dropbox website.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] DuperMan:
The first step you must take is sharing the drive or folder you wish to access. This is achieved by right clicking the desired item and selecting "Properties", then going to the "Sharing" tab and staring blankly at it until the wysiwyg interface makes sense.

Once your share is created, you should either buy Resco Explorer and use it's "map network path" function while connected to your home Wi-Fi, or install/buy nothing but apply slightly more elbow grease and access your files using WM's built in file explorer.

The built in File Explorer application can access net shares by choosing "Menu"=>"Go To"=>"Open Path"=>"New Path..." and inputting the share adress formatted as follows: "\\ComputerNameOrIP\Share".

Now, this will obviously only allow WiFi access. To have truly anywhere, anytime type access install an ftp server on your pc in combination with "kickme.to" or a similar service and setting secure ftp shares for aforementioned files and folders, having RTFM'ed beforehand on both FTP serving and IP dynamic rerouting services such as kickme.to.

My sincere hopes to have made sense, DuperMan
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] DuperMan:
You could also try Live Mesh. A free service from Microsoft which is quite similar to Dropbox but has a native WM client which I find preferable to browser access.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Archer:
It's worth noting that a Dropbox WM client is in development, and I personally can't wait for that!
