For what it's worth:

My G2 is in for a repair. The online repair tracker says that it has been repaired and the next step is 'software upgrade'.

This would seem to imply that the upgrade is imminent, however, given T-Mobile's legendary incompetence and dishonesty.......
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
I have something that might be worth trying if you wanna take a shot at rooting again :) Come onto the VillainROM irc (go to www.villainrom.co.uk and click IRC to get a web client) if you wanna give it a go. I can't test as I don't have a 2.1 unrootable phone. But if you understand that clouds might fall from the sky, and that your phone could spontaneously combust (have a fire extinguisher ready ;)), and you are still willing, give me a shout over there.

The reason I have not posted this is that it isn't tested, so there's no way I'm putting up details till someone has at least made sure their phone doesn't die.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Andyt95:
Hi, I don't really know what you are saying here. are you saying that I talk to the WC (you?) and ask if he/she/you could take my phone away as you try to install a custom ROM?

Thanks, Andy
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
Umm. Not sure what you mean ;)

If you come onto IRC (not WC :P), I have something that I can give you to try. It is a zip file. You put it onto your computer and then you run a few ADB commands via a batch file. It should (not guaranteed as it's not tested yet) install patched recovery. You can nandroid etc. from there and flash custom ROM if it works.

We don't need to take your phone away :D It's just a little file you run that might manage to get recovery installed.

But it might also kill your cat or cause World War III. It's untested, but I am not aware of any other hopes.

Pulser (on chat.freenode.net #villainrom btw)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Netblade.nl:
yeah they are rolling out their update in the Netherlands, runs smoothly.

As for no root access, well I dont bother to much about it, Most custom roms (with all the respect) are not my cup of tea. Some things didn't work the way they should be, and with all those roms I couldn't get my mobile tv to work.

Edit : Mobile TV doesn't work in this rom either, there's something wrong with the HTC updates...
[G1 Android Development] inthewoods:
I think I've stumbled across the culprit for the ADW return to home lag... Android Backup Service :eek:

Uncheck "Automatic restore" and "Back up my data" under "Menu > Settings > Privacy"​

My phone is currently running fast with only an occasional return to home lag.

Current set-up:

Fresh wipe and install of CM6 with gapps-frf91-3

Initial google sign-in skipped with back-up option unchecked

Dithering turned off then rebooted

Launcher > Spare Parts > "Window animations" and "Transition animations" set to "Fast"

Unchecked both boxes under Menu > Settings > Privacy

Added my google account under Menu > Settings > Accounts & sync and made sure back-up option was unchecked

Installed SetCPU and set it to 576/160

My last setting was Menu > Settings > ADWLauncher > System Preferences and checked "System persistent"

Setting update 7/15

Menu > Settings > CyanogenMod settings > Performance settings > VM heap size is now set to 32m.

Menu > Settings > ADWLauncher > System Preferences > Scrollable widget support is now unchecked

Menu > Settings > ADWLauncher > UI Settings > Show desktop indicator is now unchecked

I've gone and installed CM6 numerous times trying every trick I've seen in the thread for removing the home lag and this setting is the first one that makes my phone fly! Other then what I've posted I'm using all stock settings with a few apps installed. Let me know if you see similar results. :cool:

My phone:

MyTouch 3G (32b)

SPL: 1.33.006

Radio: 2.22.19.26i

Recovery: RA-v1.6.2

Swap = 96

ext3 = 512
[G1 Android Development] motoman234:
I actually did something very close to this yesterday and it made the world of difference. Thanks for posting this for others to see.
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
I run my phone with those settings off and experience it all day long.

But glad it works for ya.

Everyone should just disable those settings.
[G1 Android Development] ReyRey2k8:
i did something similar to wat inthewoods did when i first installed CM6 and it had ADWlauncher to home lag but after i installed the version from market im guessing it went away, it does happen sometime when i go back to home from other parts of phone but other that that home lag isnt showing. one thing that is bugging me is the battery life i had when i first installed rom it went from fully charged to 45% overnight while i was sleeping, i hope it doesnt die so quick i really like steve's Roms. did ne1 else have this problem after they installed rom?
[G1 Android Development] nolimit78:
Oh. My. God. Bravo sir, great post. Worked great.

Sent from my HTC Dream
[G1 Android Development] ekeefe41:
This worked for me

http://www.androidcentral.com/adwlauncher-gets-big-update

Ever since i went to the version on the market, smooth as silk.
[G1 Android Development] inthewoods:
Yeah the lag I'm seeing is when I leave an app and return back home via the home button. ADW would seem to "reset" and reload everything. Once everything reloads everything would run smooth. From what I'm seeing by using the setting above the "reset" has mostly gone away. BUT like everything only time will tell ;)
[G1 Android Development] robstillholdin:
Confirmed....installed from market no more lag!!
[G1 Android Development] sl1k1:
I recommend using swap to anyone who hasn't tried it on this rom..32mb and swappiness set at 10 eliminated home lag for me..
[G1 Android Development] mr2t32:
Just downloaded and installed ADW from market and so far so good. Will run it more tomorrow and see how it goes, but so far desktop shows up right away after I went into browser, map, settings, finance app, and dialer. I also have most of the settings turned off and only running 3 screens since i don't keep a lot of shortcuts or widgets on the screens.
[G1 Android Development] lbcoder:
At the expense of making everything dead slow....
[G1 Android Development] ekeefe41:
Day 2 of new version and i was getting a little lag...

Still not as bad as it was before.
[G1 Android Development] inthewoods:
I'm using a 96mb swap and nothing is slow....

Ohhh I have another setting update which seem to help the occasional lag:

Menu > Settings > CyanogenMod settings > Performance settings > VM heap size is now set to 32m.​

I also tried the new launcher from the market and it had a bad return to home lag so I uninstalled it. :(
[G1 Android Development] t_rob76:
i had a 128MB swap and it crawled, lowered it to 64 and everything is great.
[G1 Android Development] GSMachinst:
New adw launcher
[G1 Android Development] unikhmer:
Did exactly what you specified in your post and woohoo!!! no more lag! I'm running on a 32b MyTouch 3G too.
[G1 Android Development] nolimit78:
Yeah I had the same problem, .9 is just fine for me :)
[G1 Android Development] ajm2387:
The new ADW launcher (1.01 for D/M) is AMAZING

http://jbthemes.com/anderweb/ADWLauncher_cm6rc1_mdpi_1.0.1.apk

download it and use it. lag is the least it's been yet. It stays in memory like it's supposed to. I can switch between MMS/phone/home INSTANTLY (with no swap)
[G1 Android Development] cal3thousand:
Everyone seems to talk about the size of their Swap partition, but what about swappiness?

60 swappiness was getting slow and buggy on Swap of 96MB

been running 30 for the last hour and its snappy. I'll report back tomorrow after its had time to 'sleep on it'
[G1 Android Development] nolimit78:
Have you tried rebooting after it's installed? It keeps reverting back to .9. I've tried adb, root explorer, and installing it using linda. It'll install but once I reboot, it'll revert.
[G1 Android Development] t_rob76:
Yea, mine is set to 30, i used to have it at 60 back in the day, but 30 has been my standard.
[G1 Android Development] inthewoods:
I haven't tried swappiness yet... only because I don't know how to change it. :o
[G1 Android Development] tehseano:
I tried this before, no change. Although I don't have any problem going back to my home in the first place. I guess its cool that it works for you.
[G1 Android Development] nsbmathias:
swap fixed my adw lag, 3d gallery, and text message reception issues. i don't know why everyone started hating it since cm5 came out...

edit: btw i'm running whatever settings are standard on firerats script, with a 32 meg partition

[HTC Aria General] farquep:
Has anyone noticed that the cpu throttles based on its current stress level.
[HTC Aria General] _Opiate_:
That's deff interesting. I haven't done much playing with CPU apps because the one time I put setCPU on my Aria it caused all kinds of issues. But that was like three days after the Aria launched so setCPU may support Aria now.
[HTC Aria General] sentinel79:
According to Android System Info I get:

480mhz 23.08%

600mhz 76.92%

So it is throttling for sure.

Maybe SetCPU will work now? but I hope it can throttle lower than 480. is there a limit to how low it can go?
[HTC Aria General] psychoace:
All phones throttle in order to save juice. Your phone wouldn't last long at 600mhz. So this won't help with setcpu since the kernel still needs to be hacked. The CPU should clock lower in full sleep mode
[HTC Aria General] Shad0wguy:
It can, my Aria shows it is at 245.76Mhz 95.61% of the time

Android system info shows lower clocks, like 200Mhz, but my Aria hasn't operated at that speed at all.
[HTC Aria General] psychoace:
That is when your phone is at full sleep. You won't see that speed when the screen is on.
[HTC Aria General] sentinel79:
Okay this makes sense then since it was a fresh install and I had yet to put it to bed :P

so do i need to install sdkcerts and the tsk.files into windows directory? even though the themes show up on my today screen?

thanks you in advance

ummm, i've seen quite a few threads like this one. someone comes, posts a problem, and then just chimes in again and says "its resolved". some people even delete their entire original post!

it would be better for the community if you also post what you did to fix it, even if it was a silly little misunderstanding on your part.

who knows? maybe the information might help someone else? thus making your short little thread a bit more meaningful...?
[EVO 4G General] nbakid2000:
Does anyone else experience a general "haziness" or "milky white" or "fogginess" while taking pictures with the front facing camera? Is there a way to fix this (settings, etc.)?

Also, is there a way to make it so the LED flash does NOT turn automatically for the rear facing camera?

One more thing. Is there a fix to the choppy framerate for the camcorder when moving it (such as walking or panning)?
[EVO 4G General] gmelchert:
Do you have a screenprotector over the front camera?
[EVO 4G General] nbakid2000:
I have a screen protector on it, but not over the actual eye of the camera...though I'm wondering if the screen protector is covering enough of the camera area to cause an issue...

I should go back to Best Buy and have them put it on (again).

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Purple Drama Llama:
I've been trying to play music on my Nexus One, all in MP3 and M4A format. The M4A's play fine but stutter horribly. The MP3's don't stuttuer but you can barely hear them at all even when the sound is turned to 100%. I'm running Froyo FRF91, if that helps. Any help?

EDIT: Okay, let me explain again. I am using the OEM headphones btw. I'm start to play a MP3. When I play it, all the lyrics are so low you can't even hear them even when media volume is at 100%. But, the music is normal. When I play a M4A, the everything is right but, it does lots of stuttering and distortion. Another problem i ran into is when I manually put album art on a couple songs in the form of JPEG, they showed up. But, when I did the assign album art in iTunes, it uses bitmap and they won't show up. So my guess on that issue is that Android doesn't support bitmap. So my question is, how can I get them to play normally? I'm using the stock media player.

Anyone care to help?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Purple Drama Llama:

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Well, I guess the lack of answers is because people either don't understand what you're asking, or don't understand how your problem could be created.

What are you using to play files - headphones or speaker? What kind? I have no stuttering whatsoever on MP3s (didn't try M4A, but I can try if you point me to one), and when the Media volume is 100% - I can't put on the headphones, they destroy my ears.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericc191:
My only suggestion would be to wipe and reinstall the rom. Then again, that's my solution to just about every problem my phone has.. and it usually works.

Is this clear now?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mokurex:
Are you sure there's no problem with your audio files?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Purple Drama Llama:
I'm still having the problem! Can anyone please help?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Yes, this time you're very clear, and this time I also have an answer for you.

This means that either the contact on the headphone jack or your headphones are bad. It happens when you short together left and right channels, for example, or if you have the ground detached. It can also happen if you don't insert the headphones all the way.

Test with other headphones, and if they do the same - consider your headphone jack faulty.

I've never seen album art in BMP format, only in JPG. I won't be surprised if BMP isn't recognized. You can use converters to create one from another.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Purple Drama Llama:
Yes, that's what i was going to do with the BMP's. But for the audio issue, the M4A's sound fine. I was playing a MP3 one time before I noticed the issue and it played fine at first then I heard the earphones pop. Maybe the earphones are bad even though they are brand new...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
The difference is that M4As probably have differently differentiated stereo than MP3s, thus leading to different signs of the same problem.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Purple Drama Llama:
I still haven't checked yet since I dont have headphones on me right now. But, as soon as I do, I will check and post my findings :D
[Touch CDMA General] Valkyrion:
Hi

So I'm new to these forums and I have some questions.

I would like to run Android on my HTC Touch, but I'm not quite sure if it's possible. I started reading some threads but it's really confusing.

As far as I understand the HTC Touch and the Vogue are practically the same, except that the Touch is GSM, and the Vogue is CDMA. All of the tutorials that I find state that a CDMA Phone is needed, so I guess it's not possible to boot Android on a GSM?

So mine is a Regular HTC Touch, with a SIM Card, so it's a GSM Phone...

Is it possible to run Android on it, and how?

I hope you can help me.

Greets and thanks in advance.
[Touch CDMA General] derringdo:
The GSM version of the HTC Touch is known as the HTC Elf, while the CDMA version is known as the HTC Vogue

The Vogue has twice the ROM and RAM of the Elf (256mb ROM and 128mb RAM in the Vogue vs 128mb ROM and 64mb RAM in the Elf). The Vogue also has a 400mhz processor vs the 200mhz one in the Elf.

As for Android on your Elf, take a look at these threads:

The poster above is absolutely right. In fact, the only similar thing between the Vogue and the Elf is the outer body... the internals are completely different.
[Touch CDMA General] Valkyrion:
Thanks for these quick answers.

So basically Android on a HTC Elf is possible, but it's not really a smart thing to do ... :)
[Touch CDMA General] puneet_july30:
Why not a smart thing to do. Even I was thinking to load an Android ROM on my Vogue.
[Touch CDMA General] egzthunder1:
Vogue has no issues. Keep in mind that the build must match the device. HaReT basically is processor driven, which means that if you are not sending the right instructions to the right processor, it simply will not work. Why am I saying this? Processor for Vogue and Elf are different.

Plug your phone into a massive projector or TV.

Then play a video on youtube about some features and you're good.

Also mobile hotspots/tethering means people can connect to your phone through wifi and use your 3G-4G internet on any device.

It has an err kickstand.

If you really wanted to you could run a desktop operating system on it, though you would need to root..

8MP camera for great still shots in ample lit rooms.

Some cool games in the market.

Of course theres flash!!

if we're talking stock unrooted, i really like the intergration sense did with contacts/facebook/twitter/gmail. i also show off the kickstand (it gets more oooh/aaah reactions than i expected).

[EVO 4G General] drmacinyasha:
Show them Proxoid and explain the free tethering if they root.

Get a copy of LogMeIn Beta (it's floating around on here...) and show it.

Qik/Fring video chat

Google Voice

Google Maps + Navigation (If any of the people you're showing to are travelers/sales, show them the turn-by-turn navigation on the BIG screen, for free.)

SwiftKey and Swype

Voice Dial/Search

Gesture Search

Show them all their Google stuff syncs to it (email, contacts, etc.) so if they lose their phone, it breaks, whatever, they still have everything important.

Dropbox (Very useful for sales, doing presentations and whatnot)
