[Desire General] HDW:
Well at the moment I'm just happy that we're getting froyo :D

Its good to hear that the desire meets the minimum requirements even though we may not officially get the update. And I'm sure by the time it is released there will be a number of Gingerbread Roms for root users.

And in the future I may just get Google phones like the Nexus which would save all this waiting around for updates.
[Desire General] Afro Az:
I hope we get 3.0 as I can't change my phone for another 14 months due to the contract I'm on. Also being a student I don't think ill be able to afford another expensive flag ship HTC phone.
[Desire General] BicycleKiller:
Same here. If 3.0 runs well on the Desire I think I'll upgrade without waiting for HTC, but I don't think I will buy a new phone when 3.0 comes out.
[Desire General] XDA mark:
Normaly I would. But I am stopping with this money wasting addiction. The Desire runs perfectly (once froyo hits it will be even more perfect), Angry Birds is about to be released for Android this summer (and really thats the most awesome game ever) and ... wel, Once Android 3 gets released I will root and go further with that. In maybe 1 year I will change phone's again. By then there will be super phone's that can do.. like, everything o_0
[Desire General] dragonithe:
maybe that android 3.0 will make a custom ui from htc or motorola less usefull, but the widgets will remain.
[Desire General] abc27:
Get over yourself. This isn't some elitist secret handshake forum and you have no right to tell people what they can and cannot talk about.

Before joining XDA I heard a lot about some of the members being unfriendly, turns out that the generalisation wasn't entirely incorrect. :rolleyes:
[Desire General] Afro Az:
It seems there are people like that all over the internet. He just took it upon himself to rear his ugly head in my post. Glad you all put him back in his place though.
[Desire General] dhiral.v:
@vlasac, you really are a grumpy ****, what's wrong with hearing peoples opinions and speculations, you sir need to grow up.

As for gingerbread, I hope that the desire gets it, if not we can always rely on the boffin's here at xda :)

I think that these minimum specs that google are announcing are brilliant, it'll help control the fragmentation issue and hopefully help in the 3d graphics department like gaming :D
[Desire General] Nekromantik:
those 3.0 requirements and news have been debunked by google tech on twitter.

i knew they kinda sounded odd tbh.
[Desire General] oursoul:
Glad to hear that, you'd thing silly specs like that will do no good for batterylife ;)
[Desire General] vlasac:
Actually it is, or better, it was. Noticed word 'developers' in title?

It is not a problem of this single topic, but in hundreds posts polluting every topic with meaningless wishful thinking. This was just a case how interesting title turns into waste of time when you open it.

You are like those kids talking during movie projection. Actually, I think you are those kids.

You are just in wrong place for such chit-chat, but you don't notice that because now there are so many people like you around here so people trying to watch movie look strange.
[Desire General] marmin:
So, if you claim its a developer only forum, please point me to the roms and such that you have developed. What are you? some kind of vigilante forum Dude, righting wrongs in xda city?
[Desire General] djind:
These are not the minimum requirements, but the recommended requirements.. or so I have read somewhere. (someone mentioned it would run slow as hell, if..) So Desire should have no problems, especially on XDA..
[Desire General] Sideburnt:
spot on...
[Desire General] Sideburnt:
The Dell Streak might be the device for you then. large screen and very expandable. 2.2 is on the way.

I doubt that dual core is really going to make a difference, 1ghz will be enough to run most software for a long time yet.
[Desire General] Sideburnt:
Im glad to hear the specs are false, the whole point is that Android could run on lower spec devices, along the same vien as Linux
[Nexus One General] wesbalmer:
This is a no-brainer, comparatively the Nexus One is the better phone

http://ow.ly/25lD8
[Nexus One General] ATnTdude:
I surprised the MyTouch Slide took out the Evo 4G. Not that it's that much better (speed and screen vs battery life and keyboard make it a draw for me), but that it won despite the technical specs favoring the Evo, and that usually is what carries in polls like these.
[Nexus One General] [IO]ERROR:
Really? The MyTouch 3g Slide vs Nexus One? Come on..

I thought the N1 was upgraded to 802.11n? That link is showing 802.11b/g.
[Nexus One General] dudebro:
I laughed at this post.
[Nexus One General] [IO]ERROR:
A friend of mine has a EVO 4g and I gotta admit I wasn't impressed with it at all. I'm NOT trying to be a N1 fanbio but my N1 seems light years ahead of his EVO. I don't know if he got a bad one but he has had his phone lock up on him a few times while he was visiting (at least 3 times in a weekend). The screen while BIG is washed out. Man the backlight on that thing bleeds thru the edges like crazy.

Speed wise my N1 opened apps 10x fast. That could be because of 2.2 I don't know.

Oh and around my house his phone was showing 3g but it was no doubt on EDGE. He was getting 76kbps down the whole time. I turned off 3g on my N1 and we were getting nearly the same speeds.

Needless to say I felt bad because he went home wishing he didn't get that phone. But over all my phone just crushed his.
[Nexus One General] sandtiger:
It does have N. I'm not sure why they left it as b/g.
[Nexus One General] [IO]ERROR:
Hehe me too. I love how they think the "genius button" is some amazing tool.

Also can someone explain to me how having a keyboard is a plus AND having Swype is a plus? I mean if you have a keyboard why do you need Swype? If you have Swype why do you need a keyboard?
[Nexus One General] htc fan89:
How did evo lose to the slide, it doesn't make sense. It's rigged
[Nexus One General] [IO]ERROR:
More MyTouch 3g Slide owners voted then EVO 4g owners. I mean really do you think people vote for the better phone or do they vote for the phone they own?
[Nexus One General] dudebro:
sense is bloated that's why, vanilla android ftw.
[Nexus One General] clickwir:
Nexus owns the slide, no question. Will be interesting to see how it does versus the Droids though. I think the Nexus is a superphone.
[Nexus One General] Bigworm37:
My friend got the EVO...and all i can say is that the scrolling was SOOO choppy.. and it feels so bulky. He agreed and returned it back....Now i have played with the Incredible and believe me when i say that this is the closest competetor to the N1. Love how it has 8GB built in and the camera aint no pushover...but still N1 is in its own catagory. I hope Google continues the Nexus line for many years to come.
[Nexus One General] slowz3r:
Get ready tomorrow to vote for the Nexus in the final round!

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dna777:
It will be possible?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seelbreaker:
well froyo is doing some problems to the devs.. i think it would be better to get froyo working since gingerbread will take 4 months ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shelnes:
NO!

Minimum hardware requirements for Android 3.0 devices are: 1GHZ CPU, 512MB or RAM, displays from 3.5” and higher. (source)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndrewWalker613:
beat me to it.

yea, considering the minimum system requirements for 3.0 I would have to say no. most Hero users cant even overclock past 695MHz so its a no go.

From what Im reading, theyre killing all custom UI with it too. no more Sense, no more Motoblur, no more nothing. just the new stock google UI that theyre working on.

I kinda see it as a good thing. the one problem with Android phones has been that the customization has been too vast. there needs to be more industry standards just like the iphone or we're going to run into phone wars that dont just involve iphone vs android.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tolis626:
I don't think that we won't be able to get Sense etc because that is the beauty of Android,freedom and customization.If we lose a little of both then...I don't know,I just don't want it to turn iPhoney!I think that they only will give a standard UI for apps so that we avoid the current situation,which is that every app has its own UI and there is no consistency.My opinion though...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tweedie:
If the minimum spec is 1Ghz for gingerbread, then all that news about fragmentation that google going on about is a load of rubbish!

I guess it will soon be the end of the road for the htc hero!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tolis626:
We will first starve to death and then google might face problems!Anyway...Microsoft gave similar specs for WP7 but I've already seen a ported version running on the Diamond!What I've learned here in XDA-Devs is that we can never say never!My opinion?We will see Gingerbread on the Hero but it will never run well or smooth enough...Unless we can change its chipset! :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lost101:
Wouldn't the absence of 'HTC Sense' allow JIT to play an even greater role in boosting performance?

Re: Froyo
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tolis626:
Nah...I'm sure they can develop some kind of patch to enable JIT with Sense like the ones here on XDA(right now I can remember Feeyo's and Villain's ones).
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strider96:
Will it be hard...

Hell yeah!!!!

But it isn't impossible just today some developers made ubuntu and Android 2.1 on HTC HD2
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lost101:
My point was that 'Sense' doesn't seem to benefit from JIT, and that 3.0 will have a superior UI making it unnecessary anyway. If the new UI isn't incredibly demanding (the reason for the 1ghz requirement cited?) and benefits from JIT, chances are that Hero can handle it.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] zorxd:
Hi

I have a rooted HTC Hero (from Telus, Canada)

I installed Villainrom 10.3.2, but I don't like Sense that much, so I tought of changing to a vanilla ROM. Especially, I would like to have the application "contact" instead of "people" and the vanilla google phone. I don't care that much about facebook integration and I don't tweet. I simply want something fast and usable.

I can't figure what the main differences between ezHero and VanillaEclair are? Which one is more popular? I saw there is also SuperHero which is supposed to be a mix of sense and vanilla.

Any recommendation?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] bulltronStudios:
I also have telus hero,i use ezhero, I've gone though them all, love vanilla roms this is the best I've come across... If you don't like android keyboard, swype and htc_ime keyboards can be found with a quick google search
[Hero, G2 Touch General] zorxd:
thanks

I tried it and it works well so far.

Only downside, when I select the French Canada locale, the keyboard is in AZERTY mode (as most French speakers use, but we in Canada use QWERTY).

But I don't know any ROM which has it fine, except the original canadian ROMs.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] zorxd:
I found a workarround: install the anykeyboard app.

Next thing I would like to know, is there a way, when changing of ROM, to do not loose all my settings and installed apps?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] strider96:
I heard that ez hero is fabulous!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] zorxd:
what is the most vanilla ROM? I prefer adding apps myself, most ROMS here seems to be really customized and it seems to add bugs.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Zoirz:
Ok, i'm no good at this, but i've only just thought about rooting my Hero GSM and i would love help.

Basicly i want to be able to flash the 2.1 onto my Hero, but obviously i need root first, i'm on the 2.73 build (i updated in the last few days)

How do i root it so i can do this, i have to downgrade the build?

how do i do that!

please help me!

Coworker just did this after unboxing his iPhone 4. He asked for access (with a straight face) to my Nexus One's wireless tether for internet.

he also tried to come in and boast about how superior his phone was, so we compared hd youtube feeds. Unfortunately his iPhone4 could not get a high quality feed over 3g (or he didn't know how to). I showed pity and let him tether again off the N1, but even then, the N1 was much brighter. (I failed to point out i maxed out my brightness via a widget, and he didn't max out his brightness, but all's fair in love and mobile war.)

A few more discussions about bandwith and tethering costs on iPhone 4 and he slumped away duly shamed. Now he's considering returning his phone, but I believe the iSheep is too strong.

Spoke with another iPhone 4 guy this weekend whose girlfriend just got an EVO. He says he's keeping the iPhone for two reasons.

Lot more games on iPhone 4. I can't argue with that for now.

He's stuck in a contract and had to replace his cracked iphone 3gs (he left it on top of his car. It had a sticky rubber case so didn't pop off until he was speeding down the road to predictable results. The picture is brutal. On the other hand, it was still able to sync to iTunes, so kudos to Apple for that.)

yes, a co worker wanted to update his iphone here also. work wifi is dog slow, my 3g is pretty decent... let him tether, two reboots and his iphone was happy.

then he realized he couldn't tether, lost root (jailbreak/whatever), and it messed his itunes library. fail.

ohwell. at least he has two years of contract left to enjoy the goodness of extra $30 / month for data, data caps, and tethering charges ! sweet !

[Desire Android Development] MaTiCeK-:
Does anybody have any experience with editing the default.prop? I'm still kind of an Android Noob, so I'd need some help... But let me share my "findings" on my quest for better audio quality in captured videos and a steady framerate of 25.

Here is the juicy part of the default.prop I'd like to edit:

In particular, I was wondering if it's possible to change the following strings:

For audio

ro.media.enc.mprof.codec.aud=amrnb - -> ro.media.enc.mprof.codec.aud=aac

ro.media.enc.mprof.aud.bps=12200 - -> ro.media.enc.mprof.aud.bps=128000

ro.media.enc.lprof.aud.hz=8000 - -> ro.media.enc.lprof.aud.hz=44100

ro.media.enc.aud.amrnb.bps=5525,12200 - -> ro.media.enc.aud.aac.bps=96000,256000

ro.media.enc.aud.amrnb.hz=8000,8000 - -> ro.media.enc.aud.aac.hz=8000,44100

For video

ro.media.enc.vid.m4v.fps=1,60 - -> 30,60

ro.media.enc.vid.h264.fps=1,60 - -> 30,60

So far I haven't tried any of these changes. I wanted to ask you folks, if any of you has tried something like this already?
[Desire Android Development] abc27:
Those changes seem a bit drastic. It may or may not work, only one way to find out though ;)
[Desire Android Development] jazha:
12200bps is low, and setting it to 128bps which is even lower is not going to improve sound(if settings work at all) My guess, as you can see is that you meant it to be 128kbps :)

First post woo! :P
[Desire Android Development] MaTiCeK-:
I had kbps in mind, sorry obviously setting it to 128000 then! :) Thx for the correction!
[Desire Android Development] chrissyg123:
i'd love this, it's the one thing i miss most from my old sony ericsson videos hahah!

the stock sound on the desire just doesn't cut it :(
[Desire Android Development] MaTiCeK-:
Tried it and no difference... We need better hackers/devs to do it. :)
[Desire Android Development] musojon74:
I would love this too. The issue with the sound is a low sample rate. Did you change all the bps settings for each codec?
[Desire Android Development] MaTiCeK-:
I have, but it doesn't seem to do anything... I'd really love a real dev get on board with us! :rolleyes:
[Desire Android Development] chrissyg123:
maybe if we keep bumping someone will help us out :)

it's great having good visual quality, but i remember from my old phone the videos were so much more watchable even at low resolution, when the sound was clear and you felt more like you were actually there!
[Desire Android Development] musojon74:
Hi again - just had another look at the config data - what happens if ONLY the hz details are changed, and the bps is left at default?
[Desire Android Development] Dactylion:
richard said that its stored on /system/etc/media_prifiles.xml
[Desire Android Development] MaTiCeK-:
Don't know for sure, try it and report. But AFAIK amrnb codec has a limit of 8000Hz, it's also a codec only suitable for recording spoken word and never music.
[Desire Android Development] MaTiCeK-:
Only in vanilla android froyo ROMS.
[Desire Android Development] masi0:
but codec still is a codec - probably new rewriten would do the trick with no limitations
[Desire Android Development] SimenX:
So i guess getting a steady framerate didnt work either?

Would love to see a mod for this :)
[Desire Android Development] MaTiCeK-:
Nope....

But interestingly it seems like the values get overwritten once I reboot the phone, so that's the problem, as the phone never ever uses my changes... At least setting the framerate should work.

In addition to the default.prop I also edited the build.prop for the exact same reason od limiting the fps to 25 min. Didn't work as well...

Any help appriciated.
[Desire Android Development] dnlgee:
Did you wipe the cache before/after pushing the build.prop?
[Desire Android Development] MaTiCeK-:
Nope I haven't. Bulid.prop doesn't get overwritten at boot, changes stay, but don't do anything to the camera app. I assume that we need to edit the camera app as well.
[Desire Android Development] solotaro@hotmail.com:
I think this is an underrated issue. Props to you all for exploring it.

8000hz sample rate is terrible and not representative of the progress being made in smartphone development. Lot of smartphones are bragging about 720p HD recording but the audio sounds terrible. I am keenly following this thread.
[Desire Android Development] MaTiCeK-:
The bad audio recording is HTC's fault. If you look at sample video on youtube from the Droid, Droid X and Samsung Galaxy S, they all have reasonable to great sound capture quality.

But no matter which HTC Anroid device you look at, you end up with poor sound capture quality. Amrnb at 8000hz simply sucks. Even on the EVO4G and on the leaked Desire 720p video samples from UDK, that can be enjoyed here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8B5SM6nlQ4 & http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfmMaQixXJM

An update to my progress...I made no progress at all. :( Will try to tinker some more. As they say, luck is with the brave! :)
