What we really need is a "Rumours" subforum, for all the b/s Froyo/Update threads! :)

That way, they can still be posted, but I can safely ignore them!

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] th3:
Some such solution would be very welcome. Currently, it is quite pathetic.

As for the search before posting... every second/third day I'm seeing the same issues with new threads here. This is the worst I've seen on any well established forum since 1999 back in the Icrontic days. On the last such occurrence, the OP says he's searched and read countless threads while two threads below covers the same issue perfectly. This is just inane.

How stupid. If people want to start a thread, than its upto them. Post away all :D froyo froyo..... froyo :D
[Desire General] choccy31:
I totally agree about deleting all the pointless threads.

Some of them are from stupid newbies who are too lazy to even look 2 threads down let alone do an actual search!

Froyo threads should be deleted and anyone starting one until HTC makes an announcement should get a week ban.

There is already a FROYO discussion thread which is fine to discuss the OS / features etc, but not constant posts by idiots asking for release dates and what not.
[Desire General] MasDroid:
I agree... i think we should stop all this speculation regarding the official OTA update of Froyo on the Desire. It has recently been confirmed that the update will be around Q3 of this year, and i think it's pointless for people to continue to post threads about it. We just have to be a little more patient and hope it will arrive in time.
[Desire General] andycted:
I would more than welcome a stronger hand by the moderators. Failing that, a chit-chat/rumors section, but I think if people are so dumb to post this stuff 10x times, they are bound as well to post it in the wrong section (see the degree of spamming of the development section).

And NO - this thread is very useful and relevant, I would have started myself
[Desire General] daern:
Sorry, just tripped over this thread. Is Froyo out yet? I heard it was due to be released on the 29th Feb next year.

*runs and hides!*
[Desire General] elmoono:
Hi sort of agree, however this is the 'General' desire forum - where anything can be discussed! But yes a rumour or one thread for rumours update at the top may help.

However where do you draw the line??? look how many other threads repeat the same things!

I dont think its so bad in general section - I sort of expect it here - plus freedom of speach and no forum gestapo is nice:D
[Desire General] AndroHero:
The lastes new from htc is that the froyo rollout will start sometime during, the 3rd quater of this year :D
[Desire General] ardsar:
Moderation on this forum is poor - there are so many repetative threads that its becomming full of the same old thing day after day. Many are not adhering to the rules of the forum - search first and if you dont find your answer then ask! Carrying out searchs on this forum now means that information is spread across so many discussion threads that it becomes non effective; maybe a reason why new threads are now starting up each day asking the same question?

In order to ensure this forum is useful, comprehensive and easy to search, surely its not too much to ask?

Just a thought - i dont think i have ever seen a mod edit, apart from moving of a thread - not like the HD2 forum!
[Desire General] AndroHero:
when i used to have a htc hd, the forum had two mods and they was always about, and they used to comment on threads and keep the forum clean ect, i dont think xda give a **** about the android forums :mad:
[Desire General] TheAshMan:
Should it be Froyo or Frogurt? Discuss.
[Desire General] ljesh:
I don't want to repeat what everyone said, I just wanted to share that I agree with all of you that said that moderation doesn't exists on this subforum. There are so many many threads about the same issue. If the new thread was in page on and the same thread in page 7, I would understand.

But not understanding for cases as this one when on the first page we have 3 threads about the 1.21.405.2 update, same number for froyo...

+10 to this, first found it fun to see all the news about the update, but now it is just becoming ridiculous
[Desire General] andycted:
If you compare it to the touch hd forums you can see a huge difference. There all sections are really well ordered and well-kept. The problem here has two causes, I think:

- Main reason: Moderation is very light, apart from moving some threads here and there, you never see moderators take part in any conversations... not even this !!!

- Less important: WinMo devices are historically bought and used for professional reasons, vs many new Android users have moved from other more consumer oriented devices. Far from me inferring that the average android user is immature or anything like that, only that usually you find more 'navigated' people on WinMo forums, who also have been using xda for a long time (because you had to).

I wantedly kept the icon,

because you would be confused between two gallary images will be same
[Android Apps and Games] Moguledyouth:
I removed my other version, this is the only one I need, is there any way you could do an alternate version with the correct icon? I use ADW Launcher and with it I can have Icons without labels on my home screens, so the visual image is clutch.
[Android Apps and Games] mynameisvineeth:
sorry Moguledyouth

I don't have enough time.

Gallery3D Froyo Port

Ok people, since I personally didn't like the non descript icon for this version of Gallery3D I went about changing it, and for anyone who already has a version of Gallery, I went ahead and inverted the Icon for this one. I think it looks kind of cool, I hope you enjoy this little mod and please thank the original op, who made this possible. Camera does work with this one too. Just push it to /system/app.

[Android Apps and Games] Moguledyouth:
Sorry guys, it works perfectly for me, I'm on a Sprint Hero running Fresh 2.3.2 Rom, (Yes I know it's not out yet, I am a donator and no I will not send out links). I simply renamed it to Gallery3D.apk and adb pushed it into the /system/app directory. I have had no problems with it, and the inverted icon shows up fine for me. Unfortunately my modding abilities end at minor cosmetic fixes like swapping out icons (which was a first for me anyway).
[Android Apps and Games] ThugEsquire:
Great, thanks. I won't waste my time.
[Android Apps and Games] PPCGeek01:
Works fine here as well on a Droid Eris, though you need to delete any other 3DGallery versions first before pushing the new one.

On a more serious note, I've had no problems with dropped calls and the sound quality seems better than my old iPhone 3G.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] heygrl:
Hence why I'm asking for some real world opinions, if Samsung said they made some strides in this phone with regards to reception that's all we have to go on.

Samsung phones have had bad reception as a given, which is also why they mentioned this improvement (I'm guessing)

My nexus used to swing between 1-3 bars indorr and 3-4 outdoors.

My SGS has stable 3 bars inside (sometimes drops to 2), and full 5 outside.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djosiah:
that top grey part is called title_bar_portrait.9.png and is located on framework-res.apk. the part you want to make transparent is called status_bar_background.png and is also located in framework-res.apk

not sure if you have edited .9.pngd before but it you have to do more than just replace the image for it to look right. also im not sure if that part can be made transparent in froyo as i am currently having trouble with it. however if your making the theme for CM just adjust the transparency in photoshop, gimp etc

hope that helped :)

Hi,

I have recently updated my desire to 1.21.405 and now cannot find anywhere function to vibrate once my call connects. I really loved this feature but Im so confused that Im not pretty sure if Desire with old ROM had it.

I have some other HTC phones and all WM based do have such function.

Im 90% positive that my Desire had it as well but it would be really strange if it was removed with new ROM.

Can anyone help me and tell definetly if HTC Desire ever had such function?

if so - how can I enable it???

so long as hspl is still installed, and you only use usb to flash, you can flash any hd2 rom, any, including all of them.

oh, and no need to keep changing hspl versions when you flash.

run hspl2, choose 2.08.hspl and then just leave it at that.

sure , 1.42.hspl will work. ANd yes, you only need to flash hspl once. It will stay there until you either

or

2 - run hspl2 and choose 1.42.0000 (or any other spl ending in 0000)

it says hspl so hspl is installed, just go ahead and flash. you probably want to get a 50 radio (50 in the version number, where yours says 51)

go to rom development, radios thread, sget something like 2.08.50 or 2.10.50

now flash any rom you like the look of.

use usb flashing. do some reading and away you go. first thread in rom development has links to all the good instructions and what not.
