Thanks coolbluesea,

Firstly: Great thread you could rename it to "XDAndroid Tips&Tricks" :)

Second: The XDAndroid is not my work i am only the thread maintainer and updating to latest news and builds, and if possible help people to fix some problems they have, all the hard work is done by great developers with a lot of enthusiasm and if you want you could find the paypal link for donation in the 1# post of the general thread.

There is a Google apps zip file that you have to flash if you use a Cyanogen Rom. I think they're phone specific though. But all the preinstalled Google stuff is in it.

I don't know anything about making live wallpapers so no idea how feasible this is but could someone make the below wallpaper 'live' by making the wavey bits move?

Alternatively, can someone point me at a guide on how I can have a go myself? I'm techie, just no idea about Android.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] grainysand:
It's not going to look super-realistic, but you could try looking up "waterpaper" on the market. It's a live wallpaper that makes an image of your choosing ripple/undulate like water.
[HD2 General] Termignoni916:
Hi all,

as the title says i'm totally new here with my 6 months old HTC HD2. Reason for participating XDA is the need to learn something about this phone. My former phone, the TYTN2 was a nice one. The HD2 isn't that great in my opinion. Well not yet i hope :)

Anothere reason is trying to get Android working on the phone. Tried is last night and didn't work out. Both eclair and froyo. Been reading for hours about radio roms etc etc and now..... i'm lost :)

Regards from Holland!
[HD2 General] yeoldgreat1:
It will take you a while, but reading through the threads yourself is always better than having people show you what to do. I had my hd2 for about 3 months before I decided to change the rom on it. I've now got the Energyrom.

There are no specific or best ROM and radio combinations, it just depends which is best for you through trial and error. Just make sure you read all the instructions carefully, otherwise you will end up bricking your phone.

As for Android, it's only an alpha release. So it won't always work for everyone, you'll just have to be patient until a more stable version has been made.
[HD2 General] Termignoni916:
Morning Dave,

you're right there. I know first reading the forum and try it yourself. Tried it till 1:30am this morning and read about the radio roms. Then my brain got overloaded and went to bed :(

Thought it was easy to do (regarding the Youtube i saw) but i'll have to wait, read and study more....

Manilla 2.5.19202525.0

ROM 1.43.404.1 (70124) NLD

Radio 2.04.50.22
[HD2 General] yeoldgreat1:
It can be straight forward, it's just the first hurdle of installing hspl, new radio then the new rom. After you've done the first one, you'll have no problems changing to other custom roms.

[HD2 General] CDR123:
go to you tube and search for how to instal hd2 roms and youll pretty much get this forum
[HD2 General] polo735:
How can you even compare the TYTN2(Kaiser) to the HD2(Leo)? The Hd2 is eons beyond the Kaiser. I had the ATT Tilt version of the TYTN2 and now the Hd2. I've also experimented with cooked roms via XDA for both devices. Take the time to explore custom roms for your HD2 and you will see the real capability of this device. I would also look into the android port for the HD2. It is now at a usable stage and expands the use of the phone by a large margin.

[Touch HD General] jrmccann:
Hi,

There has been a LOT of information said in previous forums on changing pagepool and its effect. But rather spread out, and rather confusing when investigated, and but not specifically for our HD :eek:

So in this thread can you post your experiences on what, how and why you changed your pagepool settings to.

Can you include...

1. What ROM you used when you changed the pagepool

2. How did you change it? Eg program etc...

3. Why did you go up/down?

4. How did it effect the a) speed, b) memory balance, c) program function in the ROM.

The program that I used is found here...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=323269

But is there a way to change the pagepool without having to flash the rom again (one that requires only a soft reset)?:confused:

I would like to make up a table of experiences so that people can make informaed decisions...so the more data we get on this the better!:D

EG. I am using the Energy 21908 July 10 Dinik CHT rom...I changed it from 22MB to 24 MB.

I feel that it is more responsive when jumping between screens, and slightly quicker. The memory has remained about the same, but I have not used it long enough to comment on program usage...will update later.

Please post past and present experiences...

Regards

J
[Touch HD General] brusko1972:
I used the same tool you used. Ive tried changing the pagepool from 12mb to 16mb, 32mb and 4mb. I did not see a significant difference between the default 12mb and the 16mb and 32mb. 4mb is not good as it cannot even load calendar. so I decided to go back to the default 12mb pagepool. I think 12mb is already the optimum pagepool for the HD with stock 1.56 rom
[Droid Eris General] Hungry Man:
The following are benchmarks where the only variable is the change in VM heap size. These were done by me, Hungry Man. I may try to take more averages to make more accurate conclusions later.

Phone: HTC Eris

ROM: Cyanogenmod 6 (Port from Hero)

Speed: 768Mhz

Use Compcache: Yes

Enable surface dithering: Yes

------------------------------------------------------------------------

12m: 409, 426, 440

avg: 425

------------------------------------------------------------------------

16m: 410, 371, 440, 435

(my phone seemed laggy for the second benchmark... I'll put a fourth result for 16m)

avg: 414

note: if you remove 371 and take the average for the other 3 you get an average of : 428.333...

------------------------------------------------------------------------

24m: 431, 412, 443

avg: 428.666...

------------------------------------------------------------------------

32m: 420, 417, 433

avg: 423.33333

Done!

Conclusions seem clear. 24m had the highest overall average as well as a peak score of 443! Others may experience different results depending on background apps (I minimized background apps and benchmarks were done directly after a reboot.)
[Droid Eris General] Hungry Man:
I thought this might be useful for people who don't really know which one to pick. It may seem to some that picking the highest would be the best but from what I saw in the benchmark the 32m will actually cause you to suffer performance-wise.
[Droid Eris General] thenestor:
Thank you! All the JIT users should take this into account if they're modifying build.prop to make JIT more stable.
[Droid Eris General] Hungry Man:
No problem =p took like an hour and a half lol I'd like to add more to it to get the average really lined up. I know when benchmarking computers you always want way more than 3.
[Droid Eris General] Hungry Man:
Just gonna shamelessly bump this. Anyone using 2.2 should really have a look >_>
[Droid Eris General] korben dallas:
Where do you change heap size?
[Droid Eris General] Hungry Man:
Depends on the ROM. If you have a 2.1 ROM you go to your build.prop and enter:

dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:jit

dalvik.vm.heapsize=38m or 24m or any number.

If you're on a 2.2 ROM with cyanogenmod settings you can simply choose it under "performance settings"
[Droid Eris General] DS36:
GREAT INFO

you the "hungry" man
[Droid Eris General] chicken59:
Really good idea Hungry Man.

Here are my results on CM6 test 4 v3:

12m 449 454 459 460

16m 457 467 472 469

24m 456 454 459 464

32m 449 458 466 457

Averages:

12m 455.5

16m 466.25

24m 458.25

32m 457.5

After trying to figure out what I was changing, I decided to set mine to 32m and see how it goes. Here is some information about heap sizes and linpack scores:

http://ryanolson.wordpress.com/2010...ory-per-vm-heap-can-effect-your-rom-cyanogen/
[Droid Eris General] Hungry Man:
I assume you're at either 787 or 806mhz? I wonder if there's a correlary between mhz and stability of heap size. Perhaps with higher mhz you can do more with a smaller amount or something.
[Droid Eris General] Hungry Man:
I'd like to try doing more than 3 tests per heapsize as well to get more accuracy. I'll do this when I get my new phone as right now it's incredibly laggy from trackball issues.
[Droid Eris General] timmywa:
Can you explain the 2.1 instructions more fully? How does one go to their build.prop? is it from adb shell? That and then how to edit. I'm a linux noob.

Thanks for the info!
[Droid Eris General] Hungry Man:
Full instructions for editing build prop for windows (and maybe linux I dono >_>):

Open your adb command prompt:

adb remount

ADB pull /system/build.prop build.prop

Your build.prop is now in your tools folder. Open it with wordpad or notepad or something. At the bottom add:

dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:jit

dalvik.vm.heapsize=38m or 24m or any number.

Save it and close it. Then in ADB put in:

adb push build.prop /system/

Reboot.

For this to work JIT must already be activated on your phone. To activate JIT:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=679329&highlight=universal+jit&page=4

The Nestor (on page four) gives very helpful instructions.
[Droid Eris General] timmywa:
Thank you!!!
[Droid Eris General] Hungry Man:
Sure thing.
[Droid Eris General] Hungry Man:
Tonight I'll be rebenchmarking. I'm going to use a CM6 ROM with no added applications, completely stock and I'll be using some other benchmarks so we can see where it has the largest effect.

edit: This is gonna take multiple nights lol

I really love the SkyRaider ROM but I was missing my Waveform wallpaper. Wanted to add it myself but my noobness is getting the better of me.

I've finally added VisualizationWallpapers.apk from my Stock Rooted ROM to my Sky Raider ROMs /system/app folder. I Used "mount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system" at recovery main screen to mount, then pushed.

I know the apk is in system/app. I can see it with root explorer. Just can't install or get the wallpapers to show up in my wallpaper selection screen.

What am I missing?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcgaynor82:
I'm a bit of a noob to all of this myself, but I'm guessing the problem you're having is because the ROM you took the apk from is an odexed ROM and Sky Raider is de-odexed.

You need a de-odexed version. I'm at work atm but can give it a shot when I get home, or you can check around the forum for more info about odexed vs. de,oexed.

Good luck either way!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Greasy Joe Bick:
Thank you. That seems to be the problem. I know for a fact it's not de-odexed. I'm looking around for a deodexed version right now. Think I may have already found one. Will post results after I download and test.

You were 100% on the mark. Just had to find a deodexed VisualizationWallpapers.apk. I searched around some froyo 2.2 ROMs from other phones and pulled the apk from DeFroST 2.0g ROM in HTC Desire section.

I like just about almost everything about the vanilla ROM except the dialer. Default dialer doesn't have intelligent search and speed dial, i tried Dialer One, its better, but i am still more used to the sense dialer.. Soo.. i wanted to ask is there some sort of APK to get the Sense dialer? :)

[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Jed2191:
Has anybody tried to pull Phone.apk and Contacts.apk from the ZTE Blade ROM? That has a Sense-like dialer, infact almost identical, just a copy. As it's a Vanilla ROM, it'll probably work with any of our CM 6.2 ROM's. :)

EDIT: Pulled the ZTE Blade/Orange San Fransisco Phone/Contacts/ContactProvider/TelephonyProvider apk's

http://db.tt/mrdDrCb - Contacts.apk

http://db.tt/OuZ4Gqq - ContactsProvider.apk

http://db.tt/F6o13dS - TelephonyProvider.apk

I'm not sure if these can be installed or not, as they are from an Android 2.1 build, maybe a bit of apk editing is needed.

and basic answer - no, there is no way to get any of the sense apps like it's dialer to run in a non-sense rom.

After reading some weird ideas about not letting people who've posted less than ten times post i thought i better trawl the 'lesser' threads for something i can chip in to, just in case i need to ask a question or post in future...

so i was looking at dialers and i randomly found 'touchPal smart dialer' - free on the market, user interface is....okay actually, speed is...okay too. not that i have masses of experience but it also looks closer to the sense dialer than i've seen yet.

Might be a worth a look if you really miss the sense dialer.

[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] zagielek:
Youlu is fast, but I wish it would be without the sms app. I will try the Dialer2 mentioned above, because DialerOne is too slow.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] m4rk84:
'TouchPal smart dialer' is def the way forward in my opinion. Has anyone else tried it?

it seems to be ever so slightly faster than dialer2 and the interface is nicer - more sense like.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] dexter84:
1st of all in my previous post I've said aDialer when I've ment Dialer2, my mistake - mixed up the name.

2nd of all when I search market for touchpal I get 4 apps with chineese desc only. No comments on any app, no opinion no anything in the market app. Looks a bit scarry.
