[EVO 4G General] TickLe MY eLMo:
I agree, and how you could not love that huge screen. AMOLED is a deal breaker for the majority of the population because it is impossible to see in sunlight, i've seen it myself and it is total garbage. The EVO screen is ridiculously beautiful in my eyes, but maybe that's because i will be upgrading from a blackberry pearl :x. Obviously the colors aren't as vivid as a nexus, but there is sometimes a over-saturation of colors.
[EVO 4G General] MrDSL:
I feel you man, my old Motorola razor screen blows this away!!
[EVO 4G General] mrmomoman:
I look at this as just a device that can display pictures when needed but not as a transport of color corrected high resolution images. I am what you would call a very serious amateur photographer. Been shooting since I was very young in a Canon A1 and now with a 1DS MK2 and 1V for film. So I understand where you are coming from in regards to color, etc. But realize this is a phone first and everything else second. If you are serious about pictures then you will never shoot a picture that is worth post processing with a phone. Carry a point and shoot if you need to have a sall camera but a phone camera? I installed Froyo with EVO 8.0 rev a on this phone and loving it. Lost camera and not even worried. If the camera or the inability to edit photos is a dealbreaker good luck finding that phone. IPhone 4 wont even suffice. This screen works well. I am not expecting too much but it does a hell of a job. Pictures are good enough and colors are saturated enough to get a good feel of the display and picture. I have the HTC. Incredible as well and its not night and day. But that the Incredible into the sunlight and done. Besides flash is too bright and lens is not of great optical quality.

To each their own. I bought this phone for a phone and mobile device. Not a point and shoot camera or a mobile photo editing station.

Good luck.
[EVO 4G General] k2snowboards88:
Not one person here argued that they wanted professional color accuracy or that they wanted to process high quality photos taken with the phones camera. Who exactly are you replying to? Stepping out of 2005 and at least into an 18 bit display with dithering is not too much to ask from htc.
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
Take your beloved Nexus One outdoors and then we'll see which is superior. For me, it's Super AMOLED or bust!
[EVO 4G General] AdamLJ:
Your grammar is worst :D
[EVO 4G General] Blackhalo:
Prefer the Evo screen, I spend a lot of time outdoors and I couldn't see a damn thing on the AMOLED's in the sun.
[EVO 4G General] apollooff320:
Sit both phones next to each other and compare the wallpapers and come back and tell me the Evo wins.
[EVO 4G General] mrmomoman:
Color depths, vibrant, etc. Most of these are coming from people who seem to shoot photos more than a casual point and shooter. Are you one of them?

Lack of color depth for whom? Send the pictures to your computer and you will see a richer experience and if not then edit it there. The pictures are fine from a phone camera perspective.
[EVO 4G General] TickLe MY eLMo:
Goa ahead and get your galaxy S, and deal with the ridiculously ugly overlay they put on that god damn phone.

It does, i've seen both at the sprint store and the screen is MUCH better than the hero's >_>.
[EVO 4G General] sfox8:
The Evo wins.
[EVO 4G General] k2snowboards88:
You lack reading comprehension, or more likely, you are purposely puttig words in people's mouths. I and everyone knows a computer screen will look better. We jus think the evo looks sub par, even for a phone.
[EVO 4G General] rockky:
It is subpar for a phone...my 3gs also has significantly richer color display.

Can this kind of thing be modded?
[EVO 4G General] madsquabbles:
actually i rarely shoot photos. but i do edit them daily. i've always been a sound/picture quality freak even before i got into image editing.

so taking photos with this pda isn't really an issue, it's the screen quality.

also on that sending to the computer note, since my computer can render more colors than the evo and display more pixels the artifacting becomes more evident.
[EVO 4G General] RogerPodacter:
where is the thread that talks about the nexus one screen 16 bit color? i cant remember, anyone got a link?
[EVO 4G General] Kshawn:
I actually compared all the same wallpapers and photos i have in both my Samsung moment and evo...I have got to say its 60/40 Samsung/Evo.

When it came to truer colors the moment won hands down, but at the same time it over burned some of the black/dark areas compares to the evo were as it was smoother. I honestly wouldn't have thought about any of this had it not been for this tread.

Good little debate and comparisons tho.
[EVO 4G General] Geniusdog254:
The Moment is AMOLED. Of course it's more vibrant.

(correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm 99% sure it has it)
[EVO 4G General] Kshawn:
Well yeah i know that lol, was just saying I never actually did a side by side comparison and was actually surprised.
[EVO 4G General] bobdude5:
dude no waaay..theres something wrong with your phone
[EVO 4G General] k2snowboards88:
I agree. My iphone 3g (which I want to get rid of as soon as possible) has much better color than the evo.
[EVO 4G General] E-MAC:
Man, I'm just not seeing it. I'm not saying that's not what you're experiencing, I'm just saying that when compared to my iPhone 3G the Evo looks much better.

Didn't I read an article in which someone had two Evos side by side, and the screens were drastically different despite being on the same brightness settings?
[EVO 4G General] madsquabbles:
my ipod touch 2g looks better. it has deeper shadows and more saturation. even on the lightest setting the black is grey on the evo and reds come out looking orange. the evo does get a LOT brighter. i have to cover up the screen if i ever have to reboot in darkness.
[EVO 4G General] OgremustCrush:
AMOLED screens have a tendency to be oversaturated. So while many gradients of colors tend to pop out a bit more, the top end of the color spectrum tends to be lost, causing in effect a loss of detail. LCD is a bit more accurate with colors, but has other issues, usually related to loss of detail in very low values of colors. In any case, no phone is going to have the color accuracy for high end photography work, so just pick whatever looks good to you.

So I turned my hero on this morning after a night of charging it and it loaded the default alltel home and showed the screen you get when you first turn your device on. All my apps and contacts are missing and i checked my sd card and its fine. Anyone got any ideas as to whats happened

[Windows Mobile] shafizal:
Hello to all ...

How Will we enable the coverflow mode in documents tab,photo tab etc ....it Will work only with accelerometer device or ????because i have seen ina xperia ROM ....Like xperia did not havé thé accelerometer.....

Thanks....
[Windows Mobile] tidus18:
Hi shafizal, you need to check the version of manila that has coverflow. I think manila package from TP2 do not have coverflow. Check here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=691598

Also, if you are using xperia X1, it does not have accelerometer, but i remember guys over at X1 forum have figured out on how to trigger rotation on manila. If i remember correctly, Rotastrain are one of those guys there with solution. Head over there for solution.
[Windows Mobile] MENDO corp:
i don't understand.

i'm using manila 2.5.20161332.0 in a Xperia X1. Can I enable coverflow?

Here: xxx*

Says that in my version, landscape is enabled but dont says nothing about coverflow.

Sorry for my bad English.

Thanks

*(I'm a new user and i can't post links xD)
[Windows Mobile] shafizal:
no brother xperia does not have accelerometer so we dont have this options
[Windows Mobile] MENDO corp:
OK, thanks for solving my question
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tolis626:
Hi guys!For the last few days(that I have my Hero rooted that is) I'm using VillainRom 10 as my everyday ROM and have tried some others.Anyway,that's not the point!

Being one of the lucky ones whose Hero can happily overclock to 768 I came to use RaduG's extremekernel and ben39's no-bfs no-whining kernel.With the second,while configuring OverclockWidget I saw that it gives a 848MHz option with auto-detect frequencies.Is it possible?I'm not asking about stable daily use,but even for some minutes for benchmarking?Has anyone achieved it?Without making their phone catch on fire that is! :p

And secondly,why are we all using linux 2.6.29(for total newbies I mean the kernel) while there is 2.6.32-33-34?Can't a newer kernel be compiled for use with the Hero?Newer kernels would provide native ext4 support and would probably prove to be better overall.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tolis626:
Oh,forgot one more!I am currently running on minimum 176MHz-maximum 749MHz(after I got a couple reboots with 768 I abandoned 19MHz for stability) with screen on and minimum 123MHz-maximum 384MHz with screen off.Should I give it a higher minimum frequency?Sometimes it lags when waking up,the screen turns on but shows nothing but black and turns off again or it turns on and everything is distorted,colors are completely distorted,background is upside down and some other unnormal things,but everything is alright when turning the screen off and back on again.Does it have to do anything with the frequencies I am using?I am running on VillainRom 10.3.

Now I have set the minimums to 160 and 190 MHz to see what happens!

Thanks in advance! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2500726:
About the high MHz... I have done it with over 800 but don't max it out at 848 or your phone will freeze but anything below works:D And that screen **** I've also had and it has something to do with the high MHz (don't know why) but it helped me to set the MHz lower when the phone sleeps in SetCPU:) And at last about the kernel... It runs on the old one on Android 2.1 but in 2.2 it will be upgraded to ....33 or ....32 don't remember which...

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tolis626:
Thanks for your reply C0mpu13rFr34k!

I know Eclair is running on the old kernel.I just would like to know if it is possible to compile a newer kernel for it. :-)

As for the frequencies...Are my settings alright?Some too high or too low?The way I see it there is a big gap between maximum and minimum frequencies when screen on which results on the CPU working at low frequencies most of the time,thus sacrificing performance.But it helps with battery life and presumably this and the screen-off underclocking reduce the overall damage caused to the CPU by the overclocking,which is said to reduce the CPU's total lifetime by 50% or more,depending on how much you overclock it.Working at 749 I sometimes get a nice 43 degrees Celsius while charging,but that's only when charging.Average temperatures are 30 for standby and 37 with screen on(average,can be lower or higher).

And one more question.At 800+ how hot does it get?Will it be stable for some minutes to do some basic benchmarking or nah..?

Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2500726:
If your phone is stable your settings are just fine even though your phone might have problems waking up if the low freq is under 246MHz (something like that) :) Also if you want better performance you might want to test some other freqs and then benchmark... Sometimes it makes a BIG difference if your phone is running at 691MHz or 710MHz;) For me my phone works like **** if it runs at 749MHz but it works like a dream at 729MHz (I think the difference was 0.5-0.8MFLOPS) :D Im also pretty sure your temp is fine (OC shouldn't make your phone that much hotter since the voltages in all ROMs are adjustet). If you should compile a newer kernel you would first of all need a .32 (.33?) from HTC because of hardware capabilities and im sure there's is A LOT more things devs need to compile such a kernel but i don't know to much about kernels:) I don't really know that much about 800+ because I only did it once and benchmarked it (MFLOPS was **** and i couldn't get them high at all) actually it slowed down my phone but you should test it. Maybe your very lucky and your phone can take it:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tolis626:
Well,I have set it to 653min-749max with screen on and 160min-352max with screen off.Testing only!But it runs like a dream if we don't take into account a small lagging when I turn the screen on and it has to change frequencies!But it's great so far.Will see how battery life goes!By the way,tried 800,806 and 848MHz,but none worked.It didn't crash or something,it just wouldn't change to it and stayed at lower frequencies(low as 246).

Thanks for your time anyway!

And a small question...How bad does overclocking affect the CPU's life?I asked around and was told that the maximum overclock for desktop PCs is 20-25%,depending on the CPU,while needing special cooling systems,and that it can reduce the CPU's life up to 50%.Given that we overclock over 40%,how bad do we damage our CPUs?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2500726:
I haven't heard to much about that actually but from what I've heard it shouldn't damage the CPU at all because of the voltage adjustments but i find that very hard to believe... Talking from personal experience my phone runs as smooth now as it did when i bought it so my CPU has probably taken minamal- or no damage at all and I got it when it had just come out here in Denmark (Europe) which is about 8+ months i think? So I wouldn't care to much about the lifetime since It's probably like 1-2 years and by that time I don't think people are using the Hero anymore;) Keep up the good work with optimizing and your welcome;)
[Hero CDMA General] kronik03:
Hello, just a quick question, kinda new to droids and rooting and roms and what not:P

I got a rooted phone, running Damage Control and newest heroc recovery....but I have been wondering, what exactly is a custom radio, and what do they do. I noticed them on this page when I was looking at ROMs and Recovery Images

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=CDMA Hero ROMs
[Hero CDMA General] Dave2582:
Different radios are different frequencies that the phone picks up for nearby cell towers. If you decide to flash one, make sure you read the instructions carefully. One of those might be better for you depending on where you are located. You might get better cell reception.
[Hero CDMA General] kronik03:
Cool

Cool, thanks for the info :)

I get pretty good reception and usually always have 3G, think I might not mess with that one.
[Hero CDMA General] dsMA:
where do i go to see what radio i am using
[Hero CDMA General] Dave2582:
To see what radio you are using: press menu, settings, go all the way down to the bottom for about phone, then press software information. The radio is listed under baseband version. I currently use 2.42.01.04.27
[Hero CDMA General] dsMA:
thanks

i am using the same radio
[HD2 General] RoN_HD2:
Following an update from UK o2 stock ROM 1.43 to stock ROM 1.72, CHT 1.8.0 possibly caused BIG problems with my phone. If anyone can come up with another explanation I would be more than willing not to blame CHT 1.8.0.

Prior to update I'd always had CHT & CHT Editor 1.7.1 installed and never had any probs.

Following the update, and after a HR, I decided to install CHT 1.8.0 after a particularly nice looking breitling clock caught my eye which would only work with cht1.8.0 installed.

After installation I set about setting my home screen up. After an hour or so I'd got my home screen pretty much set up how I wanted it. Was I happy? Yes, Yes & Yes!! Which is why I can't explain why I went back into the editor and decided to change the lockscreen from Windows to Manila.

I came out of chteditor back to home screen and my HS was screwed. All my nicely laid out and painstakingly selected 4x4 (plus 4 extra pages) prog icons had gone as well as my very nice breitling clock, in its place was the standard flip clock, and a blank screen, that wasn't actually operating. All it showed was 3 fat zeros, which never moved. I was left with a screen that resembled a home screen after a HR, ie. nothing on it!!!!! Sresetting several times made no difference at all!

My only option was a HR, after which my first task was to install CHT & Editor 1.7.1 back on to my phone and un-install 1.8.0. Since then I've had no probs. My question: Did I do something wrong? Has this happened before to other members? I would be intrigued to find out.

Looking forward to replies.
[HD2 General] abdur.rahim:
Same here!!!

Yes I had similar problems to you, both with CHT 1.8 and later with CHT 1.8.5.

I actually reverted back to CHT 1.7.1 as it works flawlessly.

Shame though!

I really like the speed and ability to change the text colours and the lock screen wallpaper.

Anybody who knows how to do both either please post.

[HD2 General] Demon_man:
I cant really explain what happened mate but i no there was some bugs in 1.8 with a white screen they have been fixed now in a new version,
[HD2 General] crispy514:
Do you connect to an exchange server?

There are issues with Cookie and exchange servers enforcing encryption policies. I use the NRG ROMS and he explicitly tells you NOT to use the CHT lockscreen as it will screw the phone and to use the windows lockscreen...

SO advise would be that if your going t oupgrade to the late cookies then stick with the windows lockscreen.
[HD2 General] Archer:
Guys, can I suggest that you stop posting issues for CHT in a new thread in a different forum? Co0kieMonster will want to know about any issues, but it's not likely that he'll see them here. You should really be posting this in the CHT thread so that he's aware and can resolve any issues raised.

I know you're just discussing your own issues, but his thread really is the place to do it.
[HD2 General] RoN_HD2:
Thx for the reply.

No I don't connect to an exchange server, but now you come to mention the CHT lockscreen, that is what I did select, I thought I'd selected the manila lock but it was definitely the CHT lock. Thanks for pointing this out.

If I decide to re-install CHT 1.8.0 or the newer 1.8.5 i will bear this in mind.

Thank you, much appreciated.

Sorry if this has been asked or posted, I tried doing a search but lots of hits..

Here goes:

Is there a howto for building a Nexus one rom from Android Open Source dot com?

I have seen these:

(cant post real links lame....)

But they basically tell you to pull from GIT and type make.

I have flipped over the Makefiles, but it would be handy if someone has a tut on building a nexus one specific point of view.

Again I apologize if this has been covered.

[HD2 General] pandaxownage:
i am stuck between these two. They both look promising but which would you prefer and why?? :p
[HD2 General] jas0nw0ng:
This is a serious question. Why do people make these forums? I see people ask questions like, "does this radio work with the HD?," when there is a 3 forums already posted about it.

Also, they both

are

promising. Lastly, you can use both in one ROM, such as ChuckyROM or Energy ROM. It's like asking Tmobile, I am stuck between a data plan and a talk+text plan, they both looking promising, but which would you prefer and why? The Tmobile representative is going to look at you funny and say, "why not get both?"
