+1, that's the only thing that's keeping me from flashing the Froyo rom; i used Froyo on my Nexus One and it was amazing; but, i need the camera because i don't know when i'll be taking pictures; i had about 150 pictures on my N1 the last couple of weeks so i use the camera a lot
[EVO 4G General] MrDSL:
Using ROM Manager I have a 2.1 ROM already setup and backed up so when I need a camera I just flash it real quick..BAM camera in 2 minutes!!
[EVO 4G General] ajftl:
Lol switch really fast .wateva
[EVO 4G General] MrDSL:
So have you tried the method or are you just talking out your ass about something you don't use?

Yes I can switch to my fully working 2.1 ROM that i have backed up in 2 minutes..I could be a few seconds off though.

That is a fact!
[EVO 4G General] convexmacrolabs:
2 minutes may be fast compared to the time it normally takes to change ROMs, but 2 minutes can be an eternity when taking photographs of animate subjects.
[EVO 4G General] MrDSL:
Yeah I suppose if a unicorn or something is in my back yard etc there is a chance ill miss taking a pic.

Worth the sacrifice to me though.

Its a nice option for when you know you're going to take pics though.

How does scrolling/swapping screens compare? Does it finally feel as snappy as other phones (ie incredible, n1 etc)?
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
I've never had any lag problems when scrolling in the first place, and I've never used one of the other devices, but the speed of boot, loading widgets, and benchmarks was insane.

-------------
[EVO 4G General] drbadass:
Gotcha.well relative to stock 2.1, did it feel the same responsiveness-wise ?
[EVO 4G General] MrDSL:
No its way faster then 2.1
[EVO 4G General] drbadass:
That's good news. So is this! www.engadget.com/2010/06/19/android-2-2-build-frf72-for-nexus-one-finally-leaks/
[EVO 4G General] madsquabbles:
It's faster than 2.1, but still laggy. Games get a slight boost but not significant. Quadrant first person test runs maybe 2-3 fps faster.

So basically all the major issues that existed with 2.1 are still there. Lackluster game performance, 30 fps lock and laggy response. Everything does improve a bit though.
[EVO 4G General] MrDSL:
Don't forget there is no sense ui either. That's one of the best things!
[EVO 4G General] dav1boy:
It elevates in certain areas and fails in others. I notice lag and stutter when scrolling. Not to mention after awhile I got a lot error messages when sending SMS... None the less it's nice to experiment with but not much more then that at the moment
[EVO 4G General] sph33r:
That's pretty crazy. I takes my phone at least 2 minutes just to check the MD5 sums when trying to restore a backup from clockwork. I just did it today in the car and I'd estimate closer to 5-7 minutes for it to do everything & boot. Maybe my phone sucks?
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
I get full boot in 4-5 minutes but its well worth it. Like mrdsl said I could careless about the camera and if I know I'm leaving my house to go to where I might be taking pictures, I just flash roms on the way but honestly my phone isn't primarily for pics unless I'm out for an occasion or on vacation. Camera is the very last thing on my mind when purchasing phones, but having 8mp is great when you know you need to take some pics.
[EVO 4G General] drbadass:
I noticed you have an n1...in your opinion how does the evo compare? If I ditch this phone it would prob be for that.
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
Software wise they are the same. One doesn't out perform the other when I'm running froyo. The only advantage is the bigger screen and front facing camera and 8mp regular camera which is good for showing off, but who really wants to video chat all day? I do miss amoled display (especially with iPhones new retinal display) but bigger is better :)
[EVO 4G General] DroidDhakan:
Just how fast is FroYo on EVO? Here's a shot from Quadrant Results. This one is running EVOlutionV8-Froyo
[EVO 4G General] drbadass:
That's certainly encouraging. Thanks!
[EVO 4G General] Aridon:
Beast is even faster and everything works. Just no flash.
[EVO 4G General] ajftl:
Im rooted too. Doesn't take 2 minutes to load another rom just to take a picture... Takes more than that... I do want to give froyo a try. Just can't live without camera.
[HD2 General] Fif23:
I am looking for a modified cooked rom for TMOBILE HD2 with

-added stability\same stability (it's actually great)

- performance - dont mind a few tweaks

- no silly apps

- Setup Connection menu, so that I can add other 3g networks other than tmobile (they locked it only for them in the stock rom)

Any suggestions ?

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] aoakes:
Since the launch of DINIK - Anastasia - MODS - By You thead, I have been very interested in switching over all my icons to the glass appearance. I ran into an issue last night when i went to switch the Garmin Mobile XT icon on my SD Card, JWD Icon changer came up with an error stating it can't change icon for a shortcut.

I have read the instructions, and i understand how to get all programs that are unregistered to update and added to the icon changer menu. However I cant navigate to my SD card and change Garmin's icon. I really want this glass icon added to CHT, in fact all my icons changed to DINIK glass theme in time. Please help!! any other Icon changers that are user friendly?

Also I've done a search for Icon changer, i've seen threads in the past, i can't seem to locate anything on xda. maybe there not tagged.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Rainbow86:
Rearrange the Garmin Icon...

The JWMD Icon Changer are by far the best one... If you cant seem to find the Garmin Icon try to rearrange the icon by change the position on the start menu and then go use Icon Changer to change the icon.

It has something to do with it cant find it before you do that kind of stuff not sure why and only need do this on a few of the added icons.

Hope this was at least a little helpful for you.

Kind regards,

Rainbow86
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] watcher64:
If it still gives you an issue you can find the exe and follow the instructions on creating a new short cut ...

Create you a new shortcut in the startmenu and change that icon ...

Search the forum for info on how to create a new shortcut ...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] aoakes:
i know how to create a new shortcut, its simple. even if i do that directly to my start menu. i get the error that icon changer refuses to change that shortcut
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] safeelhd2:
im having a simillar issue i think. I try to change an icon, lets say the bluetooth icon for example, i select the icon and select "change icon", but then i cant find any other icons to use. Ive searched the memory card and device memory but cant find them. I need to be able to see the extra icons so i can select which one to use but nowhere to be found. Any ideas?

Hope this doesn't piss off any android fans.

Anyone know of a way to install a cooked WM ROM on the EVO? I'm new to this stuff so directions would greatly be appreciated. Thanks
[EVO 4G General] MisterKrispy:
I feel the flames a comin'

Really though dude. Sell the EVO, go to t-mobile and buy an HD2. It's pretty much the same device but with WM.
[EVO 4G General] Kshawn:
Seriously why buy an android device if only to put windows mobile?

Anyway no you can't, windows is copyrighted or something of the sort and there for needs to be license etc.

Android is open and free hence why it can be placed on damn near everything.

There had been other threads like this btw.
[EVO 4G General] ramiss:
Unless you want to spend months developing drivers then no, it isn't possible. As someone said, go with the HD2.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] ewingr:
I was reading an article about how the iPhone will automatically connect to WiFi instead of using the carrier network, when WiFi is available. As well, it manages the WiFi on the phone in a manner which minimizes battery usage.

Anyone know if any of the Android Phones do this?

Related to that, even if it doesn't automatically do that: If we are in a free WiFi spot that we know about and turn on WiFi, will the Android phone use the WiFi as prioritiy over the carrier network, thereby negating need to turn off access to the carrier network?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ramsey:
If you have 3g open, and you enter a wifi area, there are apps you can download which will immediately connect to that wifi spot without you opening Wifi, but those apps drain the battery and will connect at any wifi that you have previously used, thus becoming annoying. I tried it last year on my Android device.

It is much better to simply activate wifi alone, then it will connect to that free wifi spot alone IF you have previously connected to it.

I'll give two examples: At home when I connect my Android device to my wireless router

for the first time

, it will ask me for password. Then it saves it, so that if I close wifi, it will open 3g alone, but then if I re-open WIFI on my device, it will connect automatically as it saves the password of all wifi spots you have, and it shows you also the list of all saved spots.

The same thing goes for open free wifi spots, first time you connect to it normally without a password, second time it will re-connect alone as long as you have Wifi opened on your Android Device. I wouldn't have my cell to connect to any wifi alone without me opening wifi as it drains battery a lot.

As soon as you open Wifi, and there's an open wifi place or a private one (provided you have entered the password before), your cell will automatically connect to it and will no longer use carrier network until you shut off WIFI.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ewingr:
Thanks for the detailed reply. Much appreciated.

Actually, pretty much what I expected to hear.
[HD2 General] Camusa:
Good Morning good people,

So, I have recently synched up with my company's Exchange Server with their blessing.

I am having trouble with the calendar, but I may address that in another post if I cannot figure it out.

PASSWORD PROBLEMS are what I am writing about.

They have enabled a setting on the server that forces the phone to use a PIN to unlock the phone.

For me, this in and of itself is a nuisance. I would rather not use a PIN before I slide my phone on, but even more so it is causing errors and crashes especially if I have a reminder come up as my phone boots up.

For example: This morning when I turned my phone on it came to the initial screen to unlock the phone. There was a meeting reminder present. I tried to snooze it and the phone crashed giving me the option to report to MS. I reported to MS. The screen then gives me the option to "exit" what I am assuming is the lock screen. She is frozen. It won't let me do anything.

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A MONTH...I had to pull the battery and I got my phone back. This has happened now four times since I started using this yesterday.

SO:

1. Any idea?

2. Anyone have a registry tweak (rather a tweak than a CAB) to disable the mandatory PIN?

Thanks in advance.
[HD2 General] p_synthesis:
Since you're using syncing with an Exchange Server then, the Exchange Server policies are in force. Try talking to your Exchange Admin and see if they are willing to take off the PIN Requirement Policy.
[HD2 General] Camusa:
I appreciate the response.

Not a chance.

FQHC. Federal money.

I was hoping for a registry tweak to get around it.

It is definitely wreaking havoc with my HD2.
[HD2 General] d0ug:
Sounds like you are out of luck, domain polices are in place for a reason. If you did override them you would be liable and on the hook for any damages that result from your loss of the phone. Not a something id want to worry bout, especially in the financial industry. you could have the feds coming after your ass

Heres a tip. maintain separate work and personal phones. My work offers a phone and usage, both for work and after hours use. Company uses sprint/nextel and i have an 8350i though work because it needs the nextel radio.

As soon as i get home that 8350i goes on the desk and doesnt move till the next morning.

I get the choice of what i want to use in this case my HD2, up until the evo there was nothing on sprint/nextel i wanted and even if i wanted to i couldn't go evo on the company account since there's no nextel radio, though there is an android phone coming out on sprint/nextel with an iden radio next month. The motorola i1. it still uses the iden network for data though, so that's kinda crappy, iden data is worse than GPRS. They should have done an iden/cdma hybrid phone. iden for radio, cdma for cell and data. This is possible. The Motorola Buzz that sprint/nextel had a few years back was just such a hybrid.

I dont have to worry bout someone else snooping though my phone usage records

I can do whatever i damn well please with the phone and not get stuck in a situation like yourself where company policies have locked down my phone.

Not to mention if you get ****caned at the company you work for, you've gotta then go get your own phone and get everyone your new contact info.

I'll jump ship to Android when these bastards start shipping in HTC devices. I could have a full third of my FLAC library on my phone at any one time.

[EVO 4G General] hibby50:
flac= the ****.... however on a phone, there would not be a noticible difference because it would be played out of headphones or a small speaker.... when i synce music to my ipod i just auto convert flacs to 320 kbps.... on my home theatre system it saounds freakin incredible though lol
[EVO 4G General] cjdalessio:
How many versions of your music library do you want to keep?

How crappy are your headphones?

I use Meridian which supports FLAC, but it still skips on my Hero. Kernel support doesn't have this problem, and it CAN be baked in to a custom kernel... Usage is slightly lower than OGG or M4a... I also use UE SuperFi 5 pro IEM's, and let me tell you - the difference can audible. I can hear the noise scatter caused by interacting with the touch-screen (which was *really* bad on the OC kernel :( ) A lot depends on the type of music, too.

That said. 128GB still is short of my collection, so... why carry it all at once? It'll be fun to have that much storage on the phone still. :)
[EVO 4G General] hibby50:
lol i have skullcandy full metal jackets and I use media monkey to manage and sync and foobar to play. media monkey converts them while syncing so i dont have to keep multiple collections. i do need better headphones though...
[EVO 4G General] Minjin:
Keep in mind that higher bit rate music file also require more CPU processing to play them. If you are playing a lot of music, you'll find that your battery life will be much better with lower bit rate files.
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
I read in another forum that they thought rooting of the AT&T Captivate is unlikely, due to its difference from Galaxy S, and that AT&T would prevent that.

Comments?
[Captivate Android Development] kenkiller:
unlikely....but until someone versed in the skill of rooting gets his hands on the Captivate, it's all speculation i.e. pointless.
[Captivate Android Development] shaneaus:
I don't think it will make much difference. Sure, ATT tends to lock their devices down... But, that is normally on a general user basis. Think about the iCrap - they were still able to be jailbroken, etc.

If a method of "Root" is found for any of the Galaxy S devices I would think that same method would work on all of them.

However, this is just my opinion and like the previous post stated - until we get one in hand we can't be 100% sure.

As far as the Captivate being a lot different from the other Galaxy S devices... Samsung is pushing to have a "Galaxy S" device on all carriers and in 110 countries. There will most likely be some small differences among the devices. However, it wouldn't seem likely that they would be different enough that one ROM couldn't be used for several different models. Take a look at what CyanogenMod did with their ROM's - slight differences allow for them to be used on two HTC devices and the Motorola Droid. Most Desire/N1 ROMS are almost interchangeable.

If the Galaxy S is anywhere NEAR as successful as Samsung is hoping there will be a LOT of people wanting root and custom ROMS.

Galaxy S rooted. Good new for Captivate...Hopefully.
[Captivate Android Development] tysj:
The HTC Aria has already been rooted, too. So I don't expect it would take long for the Captivate. Wonder if the addition of the gyroscope would make things more difficult
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
Only other thing I'd like to see then after the root is a rom to load that is the original, in case of warranty needs.
[Captivate Android Development] dweebs0r:
I am torn between an AT&T Nexus One and a Captivate.

I want to stay with AT&T because the wife loves her iphone. The Captivate would be much cheaper via an upgrade but I dont think I want it if its not going to be able to be rooted.

I am going to wait a couple of weeks and see how the scene looks before jumping on it the first day its available.
[Captivate Android Development] tnayrbj:
Rooting

the way I understand it. you create a backup during the rooting process. So you can restore to original.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] dsjr2006:
It doesn't have a gyroscope. It has a "six-axis accelerometer" that acts like one. I don't think this is a significant change.
[Captivate Android Development] sl8125:
Why are you trading up from N1 to Captivate? N1 is still a really good phone. i hear customization for this phone will take some time before it releases. it took nearly two month to release custom rom for Galaxy S the Euro Version. I think i might wait for the captivate until i there is a good rom to run on.

I also hear that samsung will prevent future updates. in the news froyo will be released but looking at the history of previous android samsung phones, they might not release the update and make customers buy a new equipment.

Also due to some driver encryption, only rom we can customize is the version samsung releases. I hope i am wrong about this cuz i want this phone. but i don't want to buy now and have a outdated phone six month later. Phones like N1 will have new custom rom every time goggle release an update. I also like to get a N1 but ATT version is so expensive.
[Captivate Android Development] Balthazar B:
Ummmm...has anyone forgotten that Samsung has been more cooperative and timely in releasing their kernel and driver source code than most (all?) of their competitors?

[Captivate Android Development] sl8125:
yeah but this is for the i9000. US version is i897. Is this going to be compatible to US version?
[Captivate Android Development] dsjr2006:
I'm not gonna go off of what people have heard or baseless speculation. The N1 is really starting to piss me off with its crappy RF and now that I have my iPhone 4 I'm not liking the N1 too much so I'm hoping this device is going to be much better. I can deal with not having 2.2 right away and I think this phone will sell amazingly well and there will be lots of support official or not so I'm gonna take my chances.

The reason Samsung probably didn't update their previous Android devices is because they were utter crap and anyone buying them should have seen that coming. Why buy a phone that already has last gen hardware and expect to have the latest software?
[Captivate Android Development] garringm:
I personally will be up at the crack of dawn heading to my att store which had a hard time confirming that it was actually going to be released sunday.

I do believe that there will be custom roms available and that for the most part they will be compatible with the various versions of the galaxy S. These samsung phones will probly be the hottest devices on the market for a while and I expect to see a good number of quality devs doing some wonderful things for these phones. Anythings possible with android hell I'm running FROYO on a old tilt
