I don't believe this is going to be a fruitful idea, if possible. Cyanogen himself has stated that Eclair is heavily dependent on the GPU and that it would hurt performance to take away GPU memory.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] davidemartindale:
Yeah, RAM hack's a bad idea here.

I had the RAM hack working on an earlier test version of CM5 (Eclair). While I saw a huge difference and performance boost using it on CM4 (Donut), using it on 5 seemed to actually slow it down a hair.
[HD2 General] Wout007:
Hello!

It's been a few day since a have this weird problem.

When I go into contacts, I don't get a profile picture of all the contacts linked with facebook. I do get the little blue/white "f" (facebooklogo) in the lower left corner of the picture of the standard contact avatar, but no profile picture.

When I then go to edit the contact, it does show the facebook profile picture in the upper right corner (right under the "X"). Clicking on it opens a window called "Set Contact Photo", and I select "Facebook Profile" again. But it doesn't change a thing...

So the pictures are stored on my device yet it won't display them in my contactslist.

Does anyone know a solution for my problem??

Thanks!
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
Have you moved your HTC Album cache to the SD card recently?

Either that or remove it and then browse through photos in the album tab.
[HD2 General] Wout007:
I haven't moved it. Also removing all the cache doesn't solve the problem ...

I tried to find the place where all the profile pictures are stored but I can't find it.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] adrianh85:
while locked the menu button will unlock device without the need to slide to unlock! how do i disable that? without enabling the pattern lock screen
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
I could be mistaken, but I don't think you can without root/customized rom.

Edit: You might be able to do it with "myLock phone tools" from the market.
[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
I'm running the latest DarchDroid and my phone just shuts off randomly. I don't know exactly when it happens. I'll be at work, and I'd take my phone out to check my email... and it'd be off. I have no idea what the god damn problem is and it's driving me CRAZY.
[Hero CDMA General] smw6180:
Has this always happened or just on your current ROM?
[Hero CDMA General] radxcoresteven:
How often does it happen? This happens to me twice a week, at least. I did check my battery cover and it was off and the battery wobbled itself out. That could be the case..
[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
It happens at least five times a day. It's happened on every ROM I've tried.
[Hero CDMA General] smw6180:
Then it's likely to be a hardware issue. I'd take it to Sprint and get a replacement.
[Hero CDMA General] boredmug:
only thing like that i've ever experienced is when i have JIT enabled. I get random reboots.
[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
Mine doesn't reboot. It shuts off.
[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
Ok, getting on the phone with them now... If I have to take it to a store, then I'll flash Damage's ROM. I already have the new hboot from about a month ago, so it'll look like I upgraded it.
[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
She said I have to hard reset it. Anyone know what the keycode for that is?
[Hero CDMA General] pb4life754:
its ##786# or u can boot to recovery and do a wipe or power off hold home then power on
[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
Thanks :) I asked you instead of asking her so I could use Titanium Backup first.

Did the hard boot ever help the shut off problem? Mine is having the same problem...

[General Questions and Answers] muuu:
Hi I have a problem with my Magic and Desire, they have trouble receiving SMS's sent trough a SMS gateway.

The issue I got is that I only receive ether a small part of the SMS or none at all(To the naked eye).

I'm supposed to receive a SMS every day from the company I work for.

But they say I do receive the SMS and they get confirmation from my phone.

I'm receiving other SMS fine from family and friends.

I once received half the message but after I tried to open it I was sent back to the overview(The SMS auto closed).

Another time I received the SMS and I opened it, and I was able to read half of what should had been there but after I closed the SMS it was gone.

My Desire running stock 2.1 and my Magic running 1.5, 1.6 or 2.1 are all acting the same way.

So I'm thinking theres a problem with the way android is handling SMS.

Maybe it(Android) considers the SMS for corrupted or malicious.

Is there anyone that is experiencing anything like this or know a way to fix it?
[General Questions and Answers] linux26.android:
I have a similar problem on my G1 with different ROMs, for instance Cyanogen and COS-DS. Some SMS reach me, some just get dropped silently :-(

ok first off sorry for posting in the development section and i love the fresh roms so im not bashing.

does anyone else have an issue that seams to be directly related to flashing the new fresh 2.1.1 rom.

when im in a call and end it with the power button it restarts the phone.

is this because of what i think it is or something else.

someone said they wiped the battery and rotation and that worked for them. anyone else?
[HD2 General] markda2000:
I have a strange issue that when my wives hd2 and my hd2 receive an email from my HTC desire the from field is garbled this is only of the HTC's mail program is used on the desire not the gmail app.

The text looks like this

=?utf-8?B?TWFyayBEYXJsaW5ndG9uQGdtYWlsLmNvbQ

Has any one any ideas?
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
Usually caused by an incorrectly configured or old email server only supporting 7bit UTF encoding.

Which SMTP server are you using?
[HD2 General] markda2000:
That is weird because it is a gmail account. When the email is sent from another phone it works ok but not from the desire. I was thinking the Sense interface maybe to blame?
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
Could well be. Are you sending with a specific subject?

Try removing any foreign or non-alphanumeric characters from it.

i.e. only use A - Z, 0 - 9.
[HD2 General] markda2000:
There are no special characters in the sending persons contact details, and the subject heading can change it has no bearing on the outcome. Sending the same email hd2 to hd2 works fine. It is only desire to hd2 that is an issue. The sending email address is the same whether it be from desire if hd2 and the contact are all since via Google. Recipient email address is Google also.
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
Is it the same HD2 to Desire?
[HD2 General] markda2000:
HD2 to Desire is fine. It is just the specific Desire to HD2 that is the issue. I seem to remember the Sense interface causing issues with similar random text turning up in contact notes too on the HD2.
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
That text in the notes on the HD2 is the Sense coding for Facebook integration.
[HD2 General] markda2000:
I thought it was for the location of contacts on the Sense screen, contacts I have who are not on facebook still have the text in the notes field.
[HD2 General] jr_daza:
In the last week a lot has happened about the Android and WP7 Projects for our HD2.

Tell us which one you think will come first,

What are your hopes and expectation?

For me, right now I would prefer to run android because there is a lot more thing to see, more apps etc.

But good times come to our phones
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
Either way, who cares?
[HD2 General] bernerk:
I do, I like my hd2 how it is now, but it'd be cool so have other options out there. I'd like to see both but don't know much about it so I'll just wait and see.
[HD2 General] jlopezane:
oh man...what do I do? Wait to see if a Win7/Droid ROM for the HD2 pops up or get the EVO4?
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
If you want android full time, get the evo. If you want WM6.5 full-time, keep HD2. It will be a long time before there are fully functional ports of either on the HD2, and they will probably never be as good as a phone that comes with the OS preinstalled.

I plan on using WM6.5 most of the time, but it will be cool to boot into android at times to play around with it. I'm not even gonna think about WinPhone7 until it's out for a while and I can see how it is and what apps there are for it.
[HD2 General] Archer:
I like Android, and I like WP7, but which one's the best?

There's only 1 way to find out.....

FIGHT!!!

Seriously though, forget ported Android. It will never be as good as an Android device. You're not gonna get a fair comparison between WP7 and Android on a HD2, (assuming that we actually do get them both). Keep your HD2 until this time next year and then watch loads of vids on youtube before buying your next phone.
[HD2 General] HotShotAzn:
Answer is easy for me: Keep the HD2.

I hate Sprint. Plus I really don't want to pay out the @$$ for their data plan. $10 web2go, thank you very much.

Android will come eventually. I'm content with WM6.5.
[HD2 General] cpiddy:
Dump this piece of crap and get an Evo. Tmobile blows, WM6.5 blows, sense on WM6.5 blows. I have had many phones, this by far was the biggest let down.
[HD2 General] chribruu:
Unfortunatly (or luckily) most people don't have access to CDMA-networks. GSM is the standard. Plus 4G, at least in my country, is LTE and not wimax. So Evo is ruled out. That said, I'm pleased with my HD2.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] thebrenda:
I installed Easy Launcher which puts short cuts on your today screen. I want to install a shortcut for the Settings-> Personal ->Phone. One day I will buy some software (maybe someone knows of some for free), but everyday at work I set my phone to no ring, and at the end of the day I want to set it back to ring. A short cut on my today screen would help.

Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] stevedebi:
Why not just use the hardware volume button. Press it up or down, the HTC volume screen appears, select SILENT, and you are done! Or you could set it to vibrate.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] thebrenda:
I listen to music all day on head phones. I need the volumne up for the music but do not want the phone ring in my cubicle environment. Especially if I get up, leave my desk, and my phone has been ringing nobody appreciates it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] stevedebi:
Well, you could disable the HTC Notifications manager. Then you would have the old-style dialogs for your data connection and volume. I mention it because the stock WM dialogs have separate volume controls for Phone and Device.

It is a registry tweak where you change the name of the dll file to something different. When you reset the notifications should be stock instead of HTC.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] thebrenda:
do you know what the registry change would be to remove the htc notifications?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] stevedebi:
local machine / services / notificationmanager / Dll.

Change it from NotificationManager.dll to NotificationManager2.dll and reset the device. If it works, when you click on the speaker icon in the task bar, you should get a dialog for just the volume.

I haven't tried this with my particular version of WM 6.5.x, but it worked on the stock WM 6.5.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] papo:
could be done by simple script.

I have a script which automatically change backlight settings every morning and evening.

it's very similar thing, you only need to change values for registry entries in it.

Suppose on rhodium volume could be change directly through registry.

or you may find it on xda or I'll send it if you want.

these are those entries:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Volume]

"Ringer"=dword:99999999

from 00000000 to FFFFFFFF = level

and for vibrate:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0]

"Sound"="*none*"

OR

"Sound"="*vibrate*"

Brenda, did you ever get this working (a shortcut to a specific place in settings)? If not I've come across another way to accomplish it that's pretty simple, let me know and I can create the link for you to put on your startmenu or wherever
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] papo:
create an ANSI file backlightTimes.lnk with this text inside:

1#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,3,1

==

1# - num of chars -ignored by new wm

ctlpnl - calling cpl files

cplmain - main cp applet

3 - internal code - ID of applet window

1 - open on 2nd TAB

problem is some contrl panel windows are ignoring last parameter (TAB) and this one is, so you need to click again, then make your settings and click to confirm. Still not too easy

Yup, my thoughts exactly ;)
[General Questions and Answers] es0tericcha0s:
Hey guys. I am running the newest GDE with the Obsidian 2.0 Theme on an Eris with Leak V3. I had the earlier version of GDE and left to play around with a couple of other home replacements and ended up returning. I just love the cube effect *shrug*. So anyway, although I really love colorful wallpapers and themes, I feel that it's just better to have a classy/clean look and it makes it easier to see the apps too. With that said, I have been trying to find a weather widget that the sun would be black. I did have one installed but I don't remember where I found it, plus I was hoping there would be maybe a nicer looking version of it that was more 3D like ala Beautiful Widgets Weather. I just think it makes the theme look a little off when everything else is black/grey/white and then there is a bright blazing sun smack dab in the middle of the screen (I keep the home screen free of anything but the clock/weather). Any ideas? Is this something that would be easy or hard to make? I'd be willing to donate a few dollars for help if someone were to make such a thing...

Thanks,

Dusty

Evening... Has anyone downloaded the "Sony Ericsson Tutorial" app yet? It's got a nice demo of one finger zooming and the 3D scrolling features that we're soon to see rolled out.. Both very nice indeed... The one finger zooming is particularly easy to use and very natural feeling.. better than my experience of pinch zoom. Go check it out.

This isn't 'coming out' at all. Its an advanced development tutorial to recreate some of the features on the X10 mini onto the X10.

You would hope that they would release an update to incorporate this stuff on the X10, especially as it is more powerful than the mini.

Unfortunately I'm not very good at creating apps, but maybe somebody on here can create a gallery app with one finger zoom and the 3d list for the phone book?

Here's to hoping :P
[Desire Accessories] al89nut:
I have now bought eight of the things from two sources (the HTC brand and the five for £2 ones from Amazon) and not one of them fit properly. All were too big, by which I mean that there was not enough margin either side to ensure that they didn't overlap and bubble. And cutting a tiny strip off doesn't work either - the pressure of the stanley knife seems to put the plastic under tension, so that it doesn't bed down.

Thoroughly fed up with it.
[Desire Accessories] myth1001:
My HTC branded screen protector fits perfectly on my Desire though.

Only had bubble around the round hole on the upper right.
[Desire Accessories] Phil750123:
Here here, used the same ones as you, the touch after is perfect, but there just crap everything else.

Also used invisable shield on the screen, and just horrible to use.
[Desire Accessories] al89nut:
But that's the point -I don't want sodding bubbles on it
[Desire Accessories] NZtechfreak:
Don't bother with a screen protector?

In a year I haven't used screen protectors on any of my capacitive screened phones (i8910, HD2, Desire), not a scratch on any of them. Just be sensible and don't keep the phone in the same pocket as keys and you should be fine...
[Desire Accessories] flitjes:
I've got the 2 dollar ones of amazon too and they fit great. Just perfect if u can get it lined up propper it will fit exactly. It took me 5 tries but evantualy i got 1 lined up properly.
[Desire Accessories] defraguk:
just getting my desire today! but a word from the wise, a few weeks ago I was scrabbling under desks patching phone cables with my touch hd in my pocket, when I finally surfaced noticed a great big, deep scratch on my screen, probably from a desk leg or something. You could run your fingernail down it and it really felt like the glass had scratched. With big panic I gently lifted off the screen protector only to find that the deep scratch had not gone through to the glass. A fresh protector and it was as good as new.

I have already ordered protectors for my desire... well worth the money.
[Desire Accessories] Scottland:
When in pocket, screen faces leg to avoid this problem ;)

But I sympathize with the OP. I've tried a Martin Fields one, and a Brando anti glare one and I wasn't happy with either. Got some of those cheap amazon ones en route, but I think I'm going naked this time around. I was quite happy with the HTC ones on my Hero though.
[Desire Accessories] EddyOS:
Not had any issues with my Martin Fields one, gets a bit grubby but a quick wipe and its fine - also have it in it's case and screen facing inwards in my pocket so shouldn't have any issues...never had any issues before with screen issues in the past, though
[Desire Accessories] subharmonic:
FWIW, I'm exactly the same.

I bought the invisible shield protector, and tbh, so far I'm quite dissappointed in it.

Firstly, it's very tough to install, without getting dust particles underneath - I didn't get opportunity to do the "steamy room" trick as had been suggested before on here.

That aside, the protector seems really quite thick - I'm sure it will offer decent protection, but the touchscreen effect is really poor by comparison to an unprotected screen.

The question I have is this - are there no "hard" screen protectors?

A "Gorilla Glass" sliver would be excellent to place on top of your screen.

Anyone heard of something like this?
[Desire Accessories] Android_LIFE:
The screen protectors they sell in verizon and best buy for the Droid Incredible are a joke. After some quick diggin around I finally found a good company to go with. I got the Boxwave Crystal Clearview Screen Protectors for my Incredible two days ago and cant tell i even have it on my phone. Fits great, covers entire front of phone minus the earpiece and optical trackpad on phone. Went on first try, absolutely no air bubbles! Comes with a lint free cloth, should you encounter any air bubbles...The cloth prevents you from scratching the screen protector when removing any air bubbles. Also cleans the screen protector to perfection. I recommend Boxwave to anyone who is fed up of orange peel, misfitting, or screen protectors with clarity/quality issues. Boxwave also has has an antiglare/anti-fingerprint screen protector. Check and see what they have for the Desire. Good Luck.

I got a generic screen protector free with a gel case on eBay and I have to say, I think it's the first one I've put on WITHOUT any bubbles on it (and hence the first screen protector that's actually likely to stay on a device I own for more than 10 minutes :p) Only think I don't like is that it makes the screen a bit less 'slippy' - it's still not bad, and to be honest I don't think I'll ever like the screen finish on the Desire when compared to the unscratchable, always smooth glass on my old iPhone...
[Desire Accessories] Phil750123:
I had inivisiable shield on, took me 3 times to install it and finally got it pretty much perfect,

then as you do, i got a key and scratched along it to show it off to some mates, so then one of my mates decided hey lets get a key and dig it right into it to make a big scratch down the middle!

Looked at ordering a replacement , but still had to pay $4 postage, ontop of the £1.50 my bank would charge for it being from the US. so i thought not worth it.

Though when i took it off it did protect the screen! not a scratch on it.
[Desire Accessories] philje123:
Here mate. Try these: 140397585852 on ebay.

I initially got a generic one from the three shop and it was rubbish. Very plastic and scratched very easily.

I got these off ebay and I am very impressed with it! It has a very good finish to the surface. Very similar to the bare screen. Also they are actually slightly smaller than the glass screen area so very easy to fit. Also they are very easy to fit and got no dust or bubbles!

Pack of 6. Bargain!
