[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Kakarot:
what I did that made a HUGE difference is....

I turned off auto brightness and set it to 20-30% (it still looks and works great indoors or in normal light situations, but not outside)

When I am not playing with the phone (surfing etc) I turned off 3g and wifi, gps

obviously I turned these things back on when I wanted to do anything major.

I also installed juicedefender, no idea if it helps. heh

also, look this over.... has some decent tips

Thanks man, I will def try this stuff out, I hate that it does so quickly, I switches from froyo back to Cyanogen cause I wanted all the features, but in froyo the battery lasted a whole lot longer

Sometimes i find when wiping cache in Amon-Ra my battery gets ****. Flashbooting the Radio again fixes it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Macmee:
My story is sort of a strange one.

I originally unlocked my N1 and installed a 2.1 custom rom on it. Then Paul released his 1 ZIP to flash upgrade to F50. I got that and all hints of my custom rom seem to have disappeared. However I'm not sure if I will get OTA updates now, or if I can simply flash the new ZIP to give me the latest froyo because of this custom ROM that I can't remember its name.

I would go back to stock roms and everything but I don't want to lose all my data and apps, plus I don't know how!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaelo147:
So your saying you flashed the froyo update and your Rom is gone?

If that's what you meant... than that is what is supposed to happen.... you lose root when you flash that update.... but Cyanogen made a quick fix for that

Is there anyway to set a HD wallpaper to were it fits to screen? I hate having to trim photos just so when you pan left and right its missing half the photo. i wish there was a way to lock it full screen. Any1 else find this annoying?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jykinturah:
Launcher Pro can lock the wallpaper in place, but of course, you need to then use Launcher Pro.

[HD2 General] xavediego:
Hi! I tried importing my gmail contacts into my hd2, all the names are there alright, but no numbers are saved on any of them. Is there anything I need to do first so all the contacts and details get imported?

My contacts came from my first gen iPhone. The contacts appear just fine on my gmail account, but after importing them to the HD2 all I have are names.

I'd appreciate any help you guys can extend me. Thanks!

Oh and my phone keeps on freezing whenever texts arrive. Sucky.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] thatg:
hey, wondering how they create froyo roms for different phones and when we can expect one for the galaxy s. my friend just got froyo on his g1 and i know theyre no where near releasing an official froyo build for the g1. i've got a nexus one and waiting to see what kind of performance upgrades the galaxy sees after froyo. should be impressive.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x986123:
I'm talking iPhone 4 smooth. I played with it today. (No, I'm not a fanboy of either side, but I prefer Android!)

I'm usually using either Sense's Rosie, or when on froyo, LauncherPro.

I am a heavy widget user, and have either full screen or 2-3 widgets per screen.

The feel that you get when you launch an app on iPhone... just feels... like its popping up instead of zooming.

Anything you guys could recommend? Any specific ROM's?

ROM's I have tried:

Desire R22.1

RoDrIgUeZsTyLe

Stock 2.2
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssj4vegita2002:
Launcher pro, or adw launcher. I personally prefer launcher pro, it also had some really nice extra features.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssj4vegita2002:
Also regarding popping up instead of zooming if you are rooted, check out the spare parts app settings for the transition animations. Set them to fast if you wantt apps to pretty much pop instantly.

Sent from my Nexus One
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anstosa:
+1, what you're feeling is not related to the launcher, or the speed of the OS, it's just a design choice about the speed of the transitions. I agree with you so I made the transition speed about 30% faster [try to do that on an iPhone...]

I personally use Launcher Pro. It's absurdly fast. I've tried to get it to lag just to see what it would take but it's super responsive and won't miss a frame even if you want it to. The feature-set of Launcher Pro is quickly approaching that for ADW and it's much more polished.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clarkster:
I find both Launcher Pro and ADW.Launcher to be insanely fast too. I'm not sure about the OP, but if you are using a Live Wallpaper, try it with just a static one, then it is perfectly smooth while scrolling.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dudebro:
try cyanogen, can't get any smoother than that.

it comes with ADWLauncher which is nice too.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x986123:
My launcherPro lags when I have 2-3 widgets per page. I am using IntersectRaven's kernel, maybe it's that?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
In Launcher Pro, set "memory usage" to "high".
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcpk:
HelixLauncher on 2.1 is the smoothest I've found. Unfortunately it doesn't work on 2.2 so I'm using ADW on Froyo.

I would like some help. I had the Hero before and there was a lot less options to root; with the EVO is overwhelming. All I am looking for is a rooted version of Sprint's official rom so I can uninstall dumb preloaded sprint applications and enable free wireless tethering.

I found this

http://www.knowyourcell.com/htc/htc-evo-4g/evo-4g-guides/463925/how_to_root_the_htc_evo_4g.html would I just follow the first section steps 1-5? Or does anyone have any other advice for what I am trying to do.

Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cayniarb:
I'm not sure this is the right forum for this, but it is really simple. Follow toast's instructions for root (part 1) to root the device. Then follow toast's nand unlock instructions (part 2) to fully root the device. Next, flash the ROM of your choice (for a stock rooted ROM, look at the offerings from flizmode or joeykrim).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fr4nk1yn:
I rooted then after trying a bunch of others settled on flipzmode's stock ROM and removed the nuisance apps. Then I used it to make my own with all the bits removed.

Honestly it's easier to use the kitchen to make a ROM then remove the apps one by one through adb.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aridon:
You can use a file manager like root explorer which speeds things up considerably. If you want to use adb that is fine as well. You can just make a .txt file with the rm commands for whatever you want to remove and just paste that into your console. It will mass remove them and it goes a lot quicker.

Please some more advice

OK. Thanks for the help so far. I am so confused as there are way to many root methods and options for the EVO. And too much backup, Recovery, Rooting, lol my mind is going crazy on what I am supposed to do.

ALL I WANT TO DO at the end of the day is remove sprint crap ware and enable wireless tether. I am not interested in custom roms, etc. Can someone please just direct me with specific links.

I did this on my hero really easy, I just followed these http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=694572. But with the EVO there is way to mant options. Can someone just please direct me.

im trying to flash godspeed recovery but im a newb so of course i dont know how. it says to flash from recovery and type whatever but it doesnt do anything. someone suggested using rom manager to flash it but that didnt work. how can i flash a new recovery? i have asked twice in the godspeed recovery thread but noone answered so i figured i'd try here. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks! :)

Someone help, ima newb!!! Lol
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Irisht:
Have you read through Darch's post on how to flash this recovery? Just click on the link in my sig for this particular thread. This is not directly flashable from the sd card. You need to flash it via adb

edit* You have read the thread, do you know how to flash via adb?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prios914:
Based on your signature, I'm going to assume you are already rooted.

My first question is do you have the Android SDK installed on your computer? My Next question is have you already placed the recovery image on your SD Card (if you are using apps2sd you will want to place it on the FAT partition, but do not place it in any folders)

If you can answer yes two both question above, then go ahead conncect your phone to your computer with the cable and run the sdk in a command window or terminal window (depends on if you are using Windows or Linux) and type the following:

adb shell

flash_image recovery /sdcard/nameofrecovery.img (changing the "nameofrecovery.img" to the name of the image file on your sdcard)

If you run into any problems or if you don't know how to install the sdk post back and I will give you an alternative method to try.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cp0020:
Yes to everything. I tried typing that from recovery and while in the phone with usb debugging on and charge only. It just kept giving me errors.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Papa Smurf151:
Change from charge only to sync and it should work. Make sure ur in the sdk/tools folder and type adb remount before u type in the adb shell command
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prios914:
If you are still having trouble, you may want to just grab from the market a neat little program called Gscript (paid version) or Gscript Lite (adware) and create a script to flash the recovery image.

Once you install it on your phone the steps are:

Start GScript

Click on the phone's Menu Key and select Add Script

Give your script an easily identifiable name

Make sure there is a check mark in the Needs SU? box

then you can type in the command to flash recovery which would be:

flash_image recovery /sdcard/"nameofimagefile" (changing the name to whatever the name of the recovery image you stored on you sd card is)

then click on save.

The script should now appear in the list of availble scripts - just click it to run it. If SuperUser Permissions pops up requesting permission click on allow and you should see message at the bottom that the window will close in 19 seconds.

To verify if this worked for you go ahead and manually reboot into recovery mode - Power off the phone, then press and hold the home key while pressing and releasing the power button.

Let me know how you make out with this.

yea i it pops up, but disappears so fast, i can barely pick wat i want, but i have it set as disk drive as a default.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avalst:
one thing you might try is disabling sense and using the android launcher. then reset the phone. once it boots up try and connect it to your pc. This was how I got mine to connect. when I was using the sense launcher it somehow blocked that options screen and the default I selected wouldn't stick. once I got the connection to my pc working this way I was able to re-enable sense and it's worked perfectly ever since.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tarheelsmj12001:
def worth a shot. do i need to be rooted or something to use the launcher n disable sense??
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avalst:
goto settings ->applications->managed applications

find HTC Sense and click on it, then hit the "clear defaults" button and now hit the home key. it'll offer you the choice of sense or Launcher. pick launcher and once that loads up go ahead restart the phone to clear any remnants of sense.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sephiroth0316:
try selecting the mount as disk drive option hen you connect it to the computer. It should show up then under one of the disk drives.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrono:
Try rebooting into recovery and see if it works. If it doesn't its anything, if it does try backing up and using a fresh rom.

Mine was fixed by removing the short usb extender cable.

In my legend when I play mp4 or. 3gp videos I am getting audio lag. The lips are not sync with the audio . I.contacted HTC also. They can't trace the problem also. Any one having this lag problem . I am not using any custom Rom . Please help me

what is your rom version? I'm experiencing similar problem too and have logged a ticket with HTC. I'm still awaiting a solution from them until now.
[Legend Android Development] smartvinu:
Version is 1.32.720.3

HTC guys are saying that they are not getting the problem..

When i installed the Rockplayer the avis are playing correctly but still the 3gp and mp4 has the problem ...

Do you have branded phone? Try to OTA update...

Had lag problems only once.

I tried killing all unneeded apps, but no changes. I rebooted the device (stock rom, no root) and never had lag problems again.

@Skardy

Where can i find the ROM Version in HTC .. i am using STOCK Rom Only ...

And did HTC released version 2 ROMS . .. ?

Is the romversion is the software number that appears in the About Phone - > Software Information

Please correct me if i am wrong
[Legend Android Development] nickporwal:
Even i have the same problem with videos. i bought my legend from India bangalore. the only solution for this is to use yxplayer and rockplayer.
[Legend Android Development] smartvinu:
The HTC guys are saying that there is no solution for this .. . they are not able to replicate the issue .. They asked me to give this phone to customer care ...

That is the last hope ....

BTW .. is the ROM version 2.xx available for india .. ?
[Legend Android Development] Skardy:
I got the rom through OTA. My phone was unbranded when I bought it.

rom version: 1.31.405.5 (europe rom...)

Hi, I notice the lag day 1 and contacted HTC correspondence over here in Hong Kong, at 1st they rang me and denied such problem, i.e. couldn't replicate the problem, however the guy rang me back again in 10 mins saying he finally noticed it and said there's nothing they can do but to wait for an update, (if there ever will be one, I'm more counting on froyo) I hv had an ota since then but that particular problem wasn't addressed, my Rom ver is currently 1.31.708.3 stock

I think a lot of the user didn't notice the lag becos it is quite a minor one, like half sec out of sync.
[EVO 4G General] EliWay:
Honestly I am starting to get sick at the attitude of some of the members of this forum. It takes more time to ***** than to just simply skip the post and go to the next one.

As the forum gets bigger (XDA today is huge!) you will have simply no way of avoiding these kinds of posts. Telling them to go search or being rude to anyone is NOT going to help.

This used to be strictly a developer forum but with all the press it's getting, the site has been growing a lot over the past few years, and by being an ass you're insulting the very people that are helping this site grow, and even those saying HUGE THANKS by donating money to you for your hard work. How rude is that?

C'mon, let's be more upbeat, forgiving and helpful towards our fellow members and let the actual moderators do their jobs.

[EVO 4G General] Kshawn:
It's 50/50 I just avoid reading something if I know I might get a littlke snarky about it and I agree with some of what you're saying. It had someone today that made a thread asking for something that was literally 3 threads down from his post. I found that rather annoying. But still pointed him in the right direction. NOT everyone is as patient as some of the members here. Just saying.
[EVO 4G General] Grims:
I don't mind when people flame them for not searching...as long as they then answer the question (like you). Because it is so annoying down the road when you are searching an issue...and a thread comes up with your exact problem...and the only replies are telling the person to go search..when that's what you're doing!
[EVO 4G General] EtherealRemnant:
There comes a time when people get to the breaking point with lazy people not wanting to search. In those instances it is absolutely infuriating, particularly with someone posting like was done earlier where the answer to his question was literally on the same page... Not only that, it was in the dev forum to boot.

I'm sorry but it doesn't do the community any good to have people come join who contribute nothing to the forum but enrage everyone who has to tell them to UTFSE...
