Hey guys,

I had some queries on my twitter n pm regarding the performance of x10 after root and also to show some apps which need the root access. I made a informative video walkthrough. Enjoy !! :)

[YOUTUBE]MBwJGOQNG44[/YOUTUBE]
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] collider:
Thanks for that!

I have seen that you live in Geneva/Switzerland on your weather widget.

Greetings from Switzerland to Switzerland :D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] tuxStyle:
What widget is the one for the battery?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] cue_32:
^1 Yeah thats pretty cool... I'm using BattStatt right now but I like the little %age thing on every screen
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] collider:
He say the name at the video, its beautyful widgets.

Upps sorry wrong answer!! Its the Gauge Battery widget i think :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] collider:
Hey proyaz how you have configured droid wall??I have big problems with iptables it says "cant initialize iptables table filter... do you need to insmod".
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] proyaz:
Ya its called Gauge battery widget. Its a free widget on the market ;)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] proyaz:
I just installed droid wall but didt use it till now .. :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] proyaz:
Thnx dude !! Swiss is simply awesome !! :D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] MarylandCookie:
Dude.. what quick settings widget are you using?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] collider:
Ok thanks anyway :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] proyaz:
I think you mean to ask how do I restore all my settings after each time I root :confused:

If thats the question, then, I use the Titanium backup for backing up and restoring all my apps and settings. ;)

Hope it might have helped you :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] damirbusic:
Is Titanium better than MyBackup PRO ? Does it backup market links and everythig else so when I restore I get my phone in state like nothing happened ? As I can see, there is no difference between paid and free Titanium Backup ?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] MarylandCookie:
lol... thats not what i asked.. nevermind :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] proyaz:
okie .. I get it now .. The widget is called as "Beautiful Widget" :D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Mobzter:
They both just as good as each other but titanium allows you to restore app data. If you wana b ultra safe use both lol atleast u can test it yaself an all

Unlike pro version, the free version only allows one backup copy of each app.. not sure about what else
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] gibbo82:
What are the best profile settings for setcpu to use on the x10!?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] herbthehammer:
Just about as simple as it sounds. The evo theme is dark, but the mms app is obnoxiously black on white. It's kinda blinding in dark rooms. Yeah handcent can do that but that's way over kill for a texting app for my use. I'm using the fresh rom, btw. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] cj2566:
marketplace

Download ChompSms and you can customize all the colors and even make it themed like Iphones sms system. It's a nifty and FREE little app. I donated to remove adds and its been well worth it. Give it a shot. Worst case scenario, you uninstall it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tracerit:
I too am wanting to have this white on black or white on gray feature WITHOUT going the third party route of using chompsms or handcent. I like the simple features if the stock sense app. waking up early and reading missed texts is blinding lol.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mmcjam07:
I know you said you don't want another app but this is the messaging app from AOSP and it replaces the default HTC messaging app. Just flash it in recovery.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=752604
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bmtdan:
I would also like to see this I really hate how bright it is. The only problem with aosp messaging is you can't use the HTC messaging widget
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rujelus22:
AOSP would be the easiest, making the sense app black you would either need to pretty much completely rewrite the xml or you would need to theme all the Sense apps through com.htc.resources. All the HTC apps get there style from com.htc.resources, I was going to make them black in my blue theme but the HTC stuff is way to integrated into android.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mmcjam07:
Thats weird. It works just fine for me. You sure you did it right?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bmtdan:
really? ive actually never tried lol i had just read somewhere that it is not useable hmmmm
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mmcjam07:
Yep. Both of my messaging widgets work. But I'm on a different ROM (Myn's Warm 2.2), so maybe that could have something to do with it?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bmtdan:
potentially but i think i may try it
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tracerit:
will this work with Fresh?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mmcjam07:
I think it said it works with any Sense ROM
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Droid9:
The phone interface totally sux! Is there anything better out there? When I get a call I have to drag the thing over to answer. This is very hard to do with 1 hand. Also half the time the screen goes black and I have to unlock it or whatever. Is there any way to just tap to answer?

Making calls is 10 times worse, you have to unlock the phone, find the phone app, open your contacts, tap your contact, tap make call, and then tap call!! It’s like I have to type a freaking paragraph just to make a call! Is there any way to just press one button to open the phone and then press 1 button to speed dial??

Also I turned on Google Voice to make all my calls. It nice and I know how to turn that off, but now all my incoming calls it says "incoming call from so-and-so... Press 1 to accept" so I have to tape the dial pad, and then tap 1, adding 2 more taps just to answer a freaking call! How do I turn that off?

I love everything else about this PDA, but the phone sux! Please help...

---signed, frustrated

P.S. I think I used less key strokes typing all this than I need to to make a call! lol
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Droid9:
Any chance they will improve this interface in v2.2??
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Droid9:
Very constructive. And I see it’s your 11th post. It’s not a matter of being impatient. It’s a matter of missing calls because its nearly impossible to do while driving, walking a dog with a leash in one hand, caring groceries, almost every real life situation that keeps you from using both hands on your phone. And as I described it’s a lot more than the 1 swipe.

If you don’t agree with me you don’t need to reply but I find the swipe open to be unacceptable and I'm asking if there is another interface out there that is just a tap open. Or a way to map a hard key to answer the freaking phone!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Droid9:
I'm sitting here at my work phone calling myself over and over to "practice" answering with the swipe. I can do it with one hand but it’s a pain in the ass and just thoroughly a really, really bad design. There has to be an app or mod or something that does away with this.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Droid9:
I just saw the new "Rule the air" Droid commercial. Cool commercial... Notice the one thing they didn’t show anyone doing? Getting or making a call!!! :D

All these new devices are fantastic PDAs with a really bad phone function slapped on top...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Nexus Two:
BTW with an 2.2 Froyo official release or rom, when the call comes up theres no need to unlock or swipe, just a click of a button.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Purple Drama Llama:
What are you running 2.1, 2.01/0 or 2.2? Why don't you try finding an app on the store or searching here? You never know.... :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Touch-ee:
So I literally called myself 10 times and practiced answering the phone with one hand. Then I went out to bars and got actual calls and it was like impossible to answer them. That drag thing is just ridicules!! You have to drag it all the way across the screen!! Cany they at least meet me half way?? Even with 2 hands it’s hard to answer!!

Come on, you guys all know this is true. This design is just awful!

I understand why they did it, so when you get a call while it’s in your pocket it doesn’t tap against something and answer when you don’t know it… but it’s just terrible!! And like I said making calls is even worse. It’s like a ton of taps so there is no way to make a call while driving.

The Bluetooth headset would help but we all know anyone that actually uses that looks like a total D-bag..

So here is my solution… Someone will make a killing on this and it will make a mockery of the Android phone interface at the same time. We need a little, lightweight Bluetooth dumb phone that has physical answer and hang-up buttons as well as the full number pad that you can assign speed dials too like a NORMAL F-ING PHONE!! If this was out there on the market I would pay $100 easy for! Leave your brilliant PDA that sucks as a phone in your pocket and use the Bluetooth handset to actually make and take calls like a normal human!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] seanhassars:
1. how tiny are your hands that you can't slide the bar down with your thumb?

2. i think there's an app called dialer one that will open a keypad where you can see all your contacts and spell their names out with the numberpad to make it easier
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ScandaLeX:
Just because some of you don't have the same issues as the OP doesn't give any of us the right to respond in this manner.

The OP has been called dumb, amateur, told he shouldn't have a smartphone; and the list goes on.

I personally have the EVO; there's not a damn thing wrong with my hands and I come from a very long time of smartphones. MORE times than I can count, I'm swiping the screen and not a damned thing is moving. By the time it unlocks, the caller is gone.

So until you have the same problem, some of you might want to get your head out the clouds and stop replying like these *smart* phones are perfect and the people using them are too dumb to know what they're doing.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gtg465x:
On HTC phones with Sense you simply press a button to answer. No swiping. I'm surprised there's no app out there to do this on other Android phones.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] seanhassars:
I have to slide to answer my phone if it's locked before I get a call. I prefer the swipe because I don't want to accidentally answer a call while the phone is in my pocket. That said, I would recommend the op check out the app I mentioned or root his phone and find a sense based rom
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] borgey420:
there are apps for this kind of problem search market and google
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Szadzik:
Do not be surprised, because there is an app to achieve this. It is called ed's Droid Tools.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] diegodude:
I've used Gesture Search (by Google) since it was released on the Market for finding and calling and/or texting my contacts. Put it on your home screen, then when you want to call somebody, open Gesture Search then write their first initial with your finger (or thumb) then touch the phone icon to call or the message icon to text. Works well for me. Never tried it driving, but then again, I'm one of those guys who yells at idiots who drive and talk on their cell at the same time (it's illegal here).

The standard Droid UI doesn't have a skin, so you get the basic Android dialer. While I don't think the slide-to-answer is all that bad, I'm also coming from a Blackberry Storm, which was wicked-terrible when it came to doing... well anything, so I don't complain much about the stock android experience. One thing Android is good for though, is allowing UI replacement apps (ala Dialer One) so poke around the Market and I'm sure you can find something that changes the answer experience for you.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] chris_barsoum:
hey dude

to help you out with your dialing problem all you have to do is put the phone/contacts app on your homescreen. the way you described calling the contact is the same way you'd have to do it on almost every other phone so don't act like its a huge task.

organize your homescreens to your preference so that it could make your life easier.

also you can add people to your favorites list so you dont have to scroll through your whole contact list.

as for answering calls, its not that bad. you just gotta hold that green button and slide your finger over. I don't understand how that's difficult or why you'd need practice

phone doesn't suck at all bud ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ashrafalarab:
Hi There,

I was thinking of getting one of those because most of my calling during driving...

do you advice me to do so? i mean is the hardware bad? or it is just a matter of waiting for sometime to get an update solving all these problems?

Thank you in advance.

Hi All,

if for somereason the system files are deleted, any restore files are avalible ? or any win 6.5 OS avaliable ?

can someone plz redirect the links.

thanks
[HD2 General] watcher64:
If you are running a stock ROM just download the Stock ROM from your carrier and re-flash it ...

Or check out the ROMs thread ....
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
It sounds like all you need is a regular hard-reset...that will return whatever ROM you're currently running (stock or custom) to it's originial state.
[HD2 General] watcher64:
Oh, very true, I assumed that was the first step, thought he meant it was missing even then ....

Yeah yeah what he said .....
[HD2 General] pnjboyzz:
thank you guys.

so just flash it with tmus ROM and all will be back to normal... am i correct ?
[HD2 General] watcher64:
You can try a Hard Reset first, Vol/UP and Down and the same time you Power on ..

But a ROM flash will fix it for (mostly) sure ...:D
[Nexus One General] evilmushroom:
Hmm,

Anyone know anything about this?

My att n1 is completely stock and has received OTA updates. The previous FRF85B my colors for the gallery (and thus wallpaper were fine...) but after receiving FRF91 all my images display with 16bit color which leads to a lot of color banding.

um... yeah, how do you fix this?
[Nexus One General] bofslime:
The Nexus screen is only capable of displaying 16bit color. This is a hardware limitation of the AMOLED screen.

Edit: Never saw the follow up discovery to that it seems. problem is with the gallery app introduced in 2.1, and not the screen used in the nexus.
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
The only changes between FRF85B and FRF91 was a security update. You are wrong.
[Nexus One General] NexusDro:
That's weird because other Samsung AMOLED phones can display 24-bit colours. Unless Google/HTC specifically purchased AMOLED display panels that are only capable of displaying 16 bit colour?
[Nexus One General] bofslime:
yeah, the Samsung uses their new "super amoled" screen which is 24bit.

http://www.displaymate.com/Nexus_One_ShootOut.htm
[Nexus One General] Clarkster:
I thought that was only a limitation of the gallery app since it used opengl. I know that when I set my walpaper using "wallpaper set & save" it doesn't have any banding at all.

That original article comparing the iPhone screen to the Nexus One was completely wrong, since they were using the gallery app.
[Nexus One General] froyo87:
I haven't noticed anything from upgrading frf85b to frf91. I did notice however wallpapers aren't as fuzzy and more sharper after upgrading to frf85b from stock 2.1
[Nexus One General] NexusDro:
Not just the Super AMOLED, the old AMOLED used in Samsung OMNIA II, OMNIA HD and some other phones all support 24-bit colous. (OMNIA II effective colour is 65k due to Windows Mobile). My old Nokia N85 uses an AMOLED screen and its display has 24-bit colours. So I don't believe it is the hardware limitation of an AMOLED display, but rather HTC used a 16-bit only screen (if the screen is in fact 16-bit).

Note that when I use another gallery app, I don't see the banding that is present in the native gallery app at different zoom levels.
[Nexus One General] DMaverick50:
thats true. the article i read a while back said that the gallery used to be 24 bit, i think after android 1.6 it changed. And I believe it changed when cooliris took over gallery development, that part may be wrong but i know that the older android firmwares were 24bit so its a software thing...seems like with android whenever we get cool updates they always come at a price...
[Nexus One General] evilmushroom:
hmm-- I am unaware of the specifics.

All I know is-- pre the update there was no banding in my wallpaper. After the update there is. I noticed it immediately after rebooting.

hmm
[Nexus One General] clickwir:
But if the number changed, everything changed!!! :p:p
[Nexus One General] Clarkster:
Try setting your wallpaper again, or even better download 'wallpaper set and save' and use that to set your wallpaper.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watcher64:
You don't need a to cook a stock rom, that is why they are stock ....

If you have HSPL and it boots to the boot loader try flashing a custom ROM, that is compatible with your phone, via USB. OR if you actually want Stock , just download the stock rom for your Phone from your provider and flash it via USB, flashing from SD on the HD2 seems to be hit and miss ....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wtanph:
I have tried it already, it allways hang at 9%, but flashing the radio, and the rom, thru sd can go tbru but hangs on boot at htc white screen, maybe flashing original rom on separate radio and rom can unbricked it, and also removing the spl so that when flashing on sd wound remove hspl
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watcher64:
Try doing a task29 on it then flashing it with a stock rom ...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicedude_abad:
Task29 will get over those bootloader and then stuck problems. Give it a try.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wtanph:
after task29 same still hangs on htc screen
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
perhaps try mtty instead of task 29? mtty doesnt use an nbh image, or any flash program, it issues the commands direct, so perhaps it will bypass the problem that is making teh flash fail.

Just an idea.

Believe it or not, people are using the iPad in ways which are hard to believe!

1) Surgery Assistant

Doctors in Japan are using the iPad as a virtual assistant to conduct complex surgeries. The iPad screen displays every minute detail of the surgery and can even be hooked up to CT scan devices.

2) Kitchen Cabinet

If cooking bores you, stick up an iPad on your kitchen cabinet. Listen to your favorite songs or watch your favorite videos as you cook meals or do the dishes. Watch the latest news or learn new recipes through a few gentle taps on your iPad touchscreen.

3) Magic Box

The iPad seems to be a bit hit with magicians. With smart moves and the iPad’s sleek display, you can do a number of tricks to impress people. There are plenty of interesting iPad apps to help you learn magic and deceive people as well.

4) iPad Skateboard

This definitely has to be the most out-of-the-box idea on how you can use (and screw) your iPad. Turn it into a skateboard. Definitely not recommended for users who love their iPad.

Watch the iPad skateboard video here :D :

No, this is the one that was released at launch, this is the one that also causes the non-responsive screen issues on the Incredible.

I'm a bit peeved Incredible isn't getting any fancy docks like the Moto Droid got, and Seidio cancelled there desk/car/innotraveler docks.

That i couldn't say because i have no idea

i just know that Verizon has done a poor job at marketing/supporting this phone. not only did they botch the launch there not even trying to get accessory support nor are they marketing it as much as they are Moto Droid
[Droid Incredible Accessories] ksizzle9:
They r said to vamp up the marketing once the phone is back n stock. I have a friend who is a regional manager at vzw and he says as soon as they start shipping again the are going to have a huge push for this phone. He already has new window posters and a stock pile of t shirts for when try start shipping again. No point in advertising something that u don't have to sell n the first place right?
