response to bberry and his buddies:

just because you can view it in all red doesn't mean it's using less power on the screen.

and just because cyanogen is putting it in the next build, doesn't mean it's actually user friendly or easy on the eyes.

there was a time when terminal type was green on black and literally burned peoples eyes.
[Nexus One General] :
Um, read the thread. Turning off the components of each amoled pixel will use less power, that's not even anything to argue.

Using red on black has been proven (for decades) to be easier on the eye than any other color combination due to the low contrast between the two colors.

People who were literally getting their eyes "burned" were people sitting at work stations on for hours at a time.

Get a clue, dude.
[Nexus One General] crackness:
Here's a [citation needed] on your green on black burning people's eyes.

And yeah, viewing everything in red and black has the specific purpose to use less power... Whether it actually does it in cyanogen's implementation is incredibly easy to test.

I'm pretty certain red on black is made to be easier on eyes at night as well, without any need for my own research. I have an 07 VW rabbit, and the engineers @ vw have placed bright red leds overhead as map lights, that are on when your headlights are on.

BTW, green on black burning peoples eyes? Interesting, maybe your research might be of use to all military who uses night vision and IR vision...

Everybody be hating. But I see a 'salmon' option that isn't all that bad...
[Nexus One General] :
you waste money for a new battery.....for people that only need an extra 2-3 hours, this is good enough
[Nexus One General] sprinkles:
i have a clue...dude.

this is a really stupid feature.

if it were actually a good feature, i am sure all the major manufacturers in the world would be shipping pcs, laptops and monitors with this feature and you would be reading this response in red on black.

this is where you tell me there is a serious opportunity for the untapped colorblind market...

served. next...

as for the response from crackness, i have the same car/dashboard. the intention is that the dials/indicators are easy to see when quickly glancing at them. not for prolonged use you dingus.

and...you are really twisted to think that the military really has its personnel's best interesting in mind.

anyone else?
[Nexus One General] sprinkles:
i couldn't agree more.
[Nexus One General] :

read a book
[Nexus One General] AndyCr15:
Yes. You're an idiot... read the responses to other idiots that we already made.

Thanks. Bye bye now.
[Nexus One General] liam.lah:
Boy sprinkles, you really cleaned their clocks. A little knowledge of the subject would not go astray.

I read stuff on my phone often before going to bed, the red option will be handy.
[Nexus One General] sprinkles:
thanks for googling this and telling me to read a book.
[Nexus One General] :
give me your address and ill come and give you one to read. Otherwise you will have to settle for Google cause its obvious your mom wont take you to your local library
[Nexus One General] :
Yes, so it's in the CM6 it's pretty slick, I'll probably never use them, but it's nice to have the option for people that do.
[Nexus One General] ogdobber:
maybe you should try the GOOGLE button...
[Nexus One General] pfmiller:
That is not at all obvious from this thread.

Actually, about 10 years ago I wrote an little application that would do just this for Mac OS X. And as it is for Android, I wrote it because it is useful for night use.
[Nexus One General] B1ny:
Have been using it at work today, and it saved me lots of power. Usually I have to recharge after 5-6 hours but now after 9 hours I still have 20% left :)

i rooted and loaded cyaqnogen 6 on my phone because of this feature. I'm so sick of my battery dying through out the day and I don't see the point in a MOBILE cell phone thats plugged into a wall the entire time. I'm going on vacation at the end of the week and wont have access to a phone charger for some time so this will be a great addition. Best part is that its free. No need to waste money on an extra battery or waste time charging it.

Thank you to who ever created this little feature, and thank you to cyanogen and his team for including it

a render effect widget! very nice
[Nexus One General] B1ny:
Great :D

How can we get it???
[Nexus One General] ogdobber:
I'm guessing its on a nightly already. Or just wait for the next version of cm6
[Nexus One General] rjhay22:
Edit: nm wrong number. Lol
[Nexus One General] AndyCr15:
But can we get it as an apk?
[Nexus One General] yayramen:
I second this. I am dying for an apk, because I'm using asimROM, and I'm not entirely sure I would want to switch it over to CM, however tempted I may be.

I might actually nand and try it anyway, but it just seems a pain.
[Nexus One General] leyvatron:
new nightly has it. no widget but under cyanogenmod settings>user interface.
[Nexus One General] seeking:
oh man, i would love the widget
[Nexus One General] ogdobber:
rc1 has it
[Nexus One General] ogdobber:
the widget is on the latest nightly
[Nexus One General] AndyCr15:
Sorry, what is a 'nightly'?

All we want is an apk :( Surely it's possible?
[Nexus One General] B1ny:
And it works great :D
[Nexus One General] 3Shirts:
It means nightly build. During the work on CM6.0 team douche are releasing a compiled version every night with the latest changes incorporated. These are bleeding edge updates so likely to have bugs etc.

This widget was added after the release of RC1. Someone might extract the apk but since it will likely be in the final version of CM6 anyway, you might as well just wait for that.
[Nexus One General] ogdobber:
Here is the apk that contains the widget. Install at your own risk! do a nandroid before for sure!
[Nexus One General] ram130:
Hey what widget is that you have showing all your free spaces and battery left?
[Nexus One General] helpme:
can't install the widget onto my stock HTC legend :(
[Nexus One General] AndyCr15:
I'm going to guess this sort of thing will need root?

**EDIT** Wouldn't install on my MCR r21 rooted ROM either...
[Nexus One General] :
the widget only flips a switch.....it doesnt include the backend render effects
[Nexus One General] DarkDvr:
... I can't believe people are willing to use a fugly, horrible 1-color screen to add some hours to battery life...

I mean just turn off the screen.. Why would you keep it on anyway?
[Nexus One General] AndyCr15:
Are you saying you have the screen on when you're not using it???
[Nexus One General] Chahk:
Oh yes, why not just turn the phone off altogether? I bet that would save oodles of battery power.

Seriously children! Nobody is forcing YOU to use the single-tone mode. You can keep your phones on a charger all day or carry around a second battery, or toggle all the switches every 2 minutes. But whatever you do, please spare us your unintelligible, ignorant, abusive and just plain stupid posts. Didn't your mommy teach you that if you have nothing productive to say, not to say anything?

I like this hack a lot, in fact I like all the hack that extend the battery power. I really hope this hack will be out as a stand alone app instead of integrated in the system.
[Nexus One General] seeking:
has anyone been able to successfully install the widget with out having to flash the latest nightly?
[Nexus One General] DarkDvr:
Oww, I made it angry. How cute. Go wash your head with cold water, dumb kid.

I got a Cyan6 running (standard kernel it runs with), BT/3G ALWAYS on, 2 PUSH emails + twitter, screen always at 75%, medium use throughout the day (all emails, music, twitter).

Battery lasts for 24-30 hours. If I turn off sync on a weekend, batteries last forever, for 48+ hours easy.

Charging your phone every night is not an issue. And having your beautiful screen stuck an only 1 color, looking like it needs replacement, is just wrong, imo.
[Nexus One General] xghostyxjokerx:
hey im running froyo right now what link do you use to have this kernel??? im in need for a mjor battery saver kernel!!! please anyone help!! im on stanby for like 20 mintues and um using rodriguez rom and i have the tack maager open at in 20 minutes it drain like 12 percent??
[Nexus One General] piggie916:
love it.. its not like you ALWAYS need the best looking screen to look at dull content.. Who is stopping you from turning it back on when you actually wanna see something in color?

For simple texting and reading basic info like emails, this is hands down a battery saver, end of story.
[Nexus One General] yayramen:
New idea, guys!

For those of you who don't use Quickdesk attached to your search button,

how about a long press to enable/disable/switch between colors? I think that

would be pretty sexy. Then again, what do I know, I don't even use Cyanogen.
[Nexus One General] :
There's a widget available to toggle between the different color settings.
[Nexus One General] yayramen:
I'm aware of that. And I suppose you could place it ON quickdesk.

I'm just thinking out of the box, and contributing.
[Nexus One General] B1ny:
I would love that, very often when I am surfing etc, there are some pics I like to have a look at, and then I have to go to my home screen to switch.

A long search press would help a lot here.

I have a g2 touch on tmobile, unlocked and using with 3 network. It currently shows as ROM version 2.73.110.26, Android 1.5.

When I try to download android apps from the "Market", it asks me to log into my gmail account. When I put in the details, it is signing in for two minutes, saying "connecting with google servers", but then the message "cant establish a reliable data connection to the server" comes up. I was trying to connect with wifi. I can connect with a browser no problem. I also cleared the google apps in Manage Applicaions.

Can someone please help. Am I doing somethinhg wrong.

My x10a is currently unrooted, but what are some pros and cons of rooting it? Im sure their are several reasons to why it should be rooted, but i keep thinking that in the end i'll regret it.

Please post some good things about it, and some bad reasons for rooting. thanks
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] dan-htc-touch:
pro: root access

con: uh... really, there's a con?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] cue_32:
PROS:

- Full control of your phone

- More apps available in Marketplace

- Remove unwanted apps

- Ability to overclock/underclock

- Tether your cell data (as a wifi hotspot or USB)

- Applications to SD Card (free up memory)

- Overall performance of phone improvement

CONS:

NON....

No OTA update once custom ROMS are available but that doesn't matter once rooted because you're gonna want to install custom ROMS created by the DEV anyway.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Slauney:
Well yeah, the reason why i thought i would ever regret it is because im new to this kind of stuff, so once i do it. im not going to know what to do with it. Im a newb i guess lol. Once i do it i cant go back correct?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Balur:
I've noticed a problem getting protected apps from the android store. On my Rogers X10a since rooting, most things are there but a few things aren't. Hoping to solve it soon, but some apps may not be available.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] gavriel18:
You can definitely go back to stock anytime you want. For example, I wanted to see the new ota update for rogers so I rebranded my phone back to its original firmware, and updated, now I don't have root but in about 30 minutes I'll have it again. This process can be done unlimited times.

Just a suggestion, before you try rooting it spend an evening or two doing some research and getting familiarized with the tools.

From what you are saying I would suggest waiting until there is something that you really want working on your phone that is limited by the stock rom.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] bassa1985:

Do you mind directing me to the Link for the original firmware for Rogers. I'm having trouble finding it in these forums. I can only seem to find Decrypted x10a ROMS and I have no idea what those are. I only want it for warranty purposes.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] gavriel18:
Use the r1f014 in the decrypted roms. That one is stock rogers branded or you can repair your phone with pc companion and it will save a backup to your hard drive. Then if you need to go back to stock you repair with pcc. I didnt check but im willing to bet the new rogers fw will be there too.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] rynoon:
Pro: You can get rid of that stupid blue wavy background on your settings, dialer, phone book, etc.

What Tether WIFI application you use? I keep getting force close in it :(
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Slauney:
What kind of tools are you refering to? Just in a general idea so i dont spend a week doing research instead of a day or two lol.

And just a general question, if debranding a phone is a good thing to do... is there a reason why Ericsson didnt do it in the first place? Excuse my incompetence with rooting.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] stevencxr:
oh, someone answered the question already, sorry =p

how do we install apps to sd card ?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Mobzter:
Barnacle.. if that's the one you use try go into your settings and enter athwlan0 in the LAN bit then press start.. ul be fine! works really well!!

Hope it helps!!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] bobosky520:
I think the only con is the root access increase the security treat, just like the jailbreak iPhone.

Other than this, root is great, and useful
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Shiwantha:
No I was using something else. Thanks for the tip. Barnacle works well on my X10 :D

THIS PHONE WAS REALLY JUST A FEINT"

"Okay, it worked. Congratulations - we stop. " Google chief reveals the real purpose of Google phone.

Google CEO Eric Schmidt surprised when the company a year and a half ago, said it would create a mobile phone with Google's own operating system. Now he says that it was with the Nexus One, and it was a success so it will be with this phone only.

Several mobile operators announced that they would sell it, but ldidn't. But the sales figure for the actual phone was not the point.

It was made to speed up the mobile manufacturers so that they will make phones that could use multiple operating systems.

- And it did. It was a success, so we do not need to create another. We will look at it as positive, but people criticized us heavily for it. I called the board and said 'ok, it worked. Congratulations - we stop, "says Schmidt of the British newspaper the Daily Telegraph.

Eric Schmidt

Same with Chrome

The newspaper says Schmidt, Google is considering creating its own small, portable computers to speed the spread of the online operating system's, Chrome OS. Well checking if others succeed first.

- We have talked about it. We have a reference for specifications of Chrome's OS and hardware partners, we have in place. It is on schedule and will take place later this year. But we'll see how the partners do it first. I'm guessing that we do not have to do it. Computer software industry is different from the mobile industry. PC industry is accustomed to working with Microsoft, while the mobile industry was not accustomed to jobbbe with software.

The customer decides

Schmidt also respond to criticism about privacy. Google collects unimaginable amount of data around the world, and has also been criticized for gathering personal data from open wireless networks as they have traveled around the streets to take photos to map their services.

- I think criticism is fine. I think the criticism informs us, it makes us better. It bothers me not at all.

Schmidt says he understands the concern for privacy, because so many people are so much online and leave information at all times. Google uses this to direct ads to web surf visitor places and preferences, and ads is the Google main income source.

But Schmidt said the public will tell if they do not like it.

- All our surveys show that most are satisfied with our policy.

And the message is the message no one wants to hear: the reality is that we make decisions based on what the average user to tell us, and we notice us. And why you should trust us that if we break that trust, people will immediately make use of other services, "said Schmidt, and believes the public is not very loyal when they do not like something.

- So we are very keen to continue to have confidence in users, "he said

Hi guys,

My power off button is somewhat messed up, its quite difficult to wake up the phone by pressing it. Is there any other way to turn on the screen without pressing the bloody button, it has driven my crazy lately.

Cheers,
[TG01 General] Meerau:
Hi

If the button is really tired, can't you get the seller to change the phone?

Other ideas: in case it would be some software trouble: hard reset?

Use à cab like Mort button, Hbutton, AEbutton to wake up your screen from other command?
[TG01 General] souljaboy:
PS ShutXp is wat u need ,

set up AEbutton plus like this:

a key(like camera) double tap to to launch shutxp

same key single tap : close application

and tick "today icon" in shutxp it makes it operate smoother

so if u double tap it will come up and single ull be back from standby ... and ull have a nice close app button also

a few skins cuz the default ones are ugly here or here or search button :D

That sounds good, will try it tonight

Thanks mate
[TG01 General] bagiabanmaybay:
Got sometime playing around with AEButton, pretty complicated I would say (atleast to). It seems like the soft ware could only assign jobs for hardkey buttons, is there any chance to set up so that when the screen is turned off, double tapping it makes it wake up??

I had the windows media player widget on my home screen and i would add a playlist, then be able to exit out of windows media player and see my home screen again while the music still played. or does anybody have any ideas of a widget that will allow me to play music while still doing other things on my phone?
