[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] MagnusRagnarok:
thanks alot. its rough in this neck of the woods:D all sorts of trolls....yes atm; its actually worth nandroiding and checking out cus you dont lose your camcorder or cam and you get froyo and full flash is sick and internet speed is amazing. this is MY take on froyo, since i cant seem to leave a rom the way it is before i flash it. i was actually making this theme for hero over's froyo to be integrated with a froyo release but it was too much. for me i really cut back i thought but to him that was not enough. I tried to make something cool for baked but hey, we all benefit either way! so all is well:D I wouldve really liked to make it for baked froyo because i like baked roms but it kinda sucked that i spent all that time making it and sitting on it for 3days after i hurried up to get done, only to hear that it was not the right theme for the job. Oh well im not a themer anyway:D

Ill be starting work on a blue theme very soon though. Im sure anyone who likes my work will like the blue too.....i hope:D . What rom did you need it for?

​
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mikevillarroel:
I would love to test it in my fresh 1.0.1 but now i will wait for the blue one. Lol
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Raadius:
Great effort, but not for my taste, waaay to much going on.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] MagnusRagnarok:
d'oh....:D, thats cool. i hope you like it.

way to much going on doesnt help me improve it. keep in mind you are judging my own personal rom, so i made it for myself and then shared it. then gave a few options of mainav scroller for those that cared to try it. how should i improve it to make it less? my style is different. if i was a minimalist my themes would look boring to me and i would not use it at all so i could not test it. sorry you dont like it. maybe next time:D

i have tryed manny manny win mobile roms and even the cooked and all thay are all so far behind android and a half ass version of android runs smoother and better the the nativ winmo i installed android on my hd 2 through linx boot loader and it looks very promising and thats runing off the sd card not sure if i can post link to it but i cant wait for a full rom
[HD2 General] jaszek:
We have an official thread on here, just search. From what I've read yesterday the mic and ear piece speaker still don't work, so sucks for calls.
[HD2 General] oshizzle1991:
yeah...we have known about this for a long time. we already have an official thread. its called "linux on the hd2" its in the LEO section i believe...
[HD2 General] a_ok2me:
Don't Like Android

I tried it on the evo and I just don't like it.
[HD2 General] DJAnt1320:
Problem, here is that the NEW verion of the HD2 is too new to be arbitrarily burning or altering the ROM... Not like it's a Mio P550, where it's a little toy. This thing is prettty bad-ass.

I purposely overlooked the iFart for it.
[Captivate General] systoxity:
Any one here in the know how about Windows phone 7 that can shed some light on spec comparisons? I know release dates are a bit for off. I Just cant decide whether I should get a captivate or WP7. Will the hardware gap be relatively large?

Any Input/opinions are welcome. =)
[Captivate General] tonyc0642:
Well, WP7 is an OS/UI, not a phone. There will be many phones that will run on WP7. From what I can tell, you'll probably need a 1ghz processor and 512mb RAM minimum to run wp7. In my opinion it's no contest, Android wins. Go with the Captivate. Developers are shying away from Microsoft these days, take Pandora for example.
[Captivate General] dsjr2006:
Nothing about WP7 is known for sure so all you're going to get is people making guess and repeating rumors. Buy the Captivate and sell it when WP7 comes out later in the year, if it actually does.
[Captivate General] tonyc0642:
Don't forget totally biased opinions from Android fanboys!:D
[Captivate General] Drachen:
I'd definitely take a wait and see attitude towards WP7. It's looking solid, but very locked down, like the iPhone and there are a bunch of features missing like no sideloading (yeah, like we can talk, but at least we have adb), no custom home screens, no copy and paste, no native code apps, no multitasking beyond a small set of specific functions, no filesystem access, no memory cards, etc. Plus, the WP7 launch phones will be first-generation. Compare the first-generation G1 running Android 1.5 to the Nexus One, Droid X and Captivate running Android 2.1 or 2.2.

Seems to me no contest.
[Captivate General] caelestis2:
Android is more mature and has more apps right now. I think you should get an android now and then get win7 when you know more about it.

But also a win7 phone is as locked down as an iPhone. You probably won't have emulators in their app store. No sideloading either, and no multi-tasking yet.

Yeah, definitely wait for maturity before buying.
[Captivate General] systoxity:
lol nice, +1.

I should have said WP7 Flagship devices. My Bad. Thanks for all the great input all. I believe I will get the Captivate now & then get the WP7 after they work out all the kinks a year from now =)

So I try to connect to my wireless network at home, and wireless is working fine. But on my mini, after I attempt to connect to the network, i t just stays stuck on 'obtaining ip address'.. Is this what u all are getting as well?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] nobodyAtall:
Strange, mine aquires ip pretty easy.

You do have dhcp running on your router right?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] _CriMson:
Well guys, I've been running the new super froyo build since it was released, been a long time user of donut and eclair, and I think my vogue has shat itself. I really don't think it's build related, but I figured I would post it up here and see if anyone else has encountered this issue.

My phone has been working fine, this morning when I got to work i plugged it in the charger and it was charging.. All of a sudden it shows a red LED and pressing the power button gets no response. I hit the reset button, no change. I unplugged it and pulled the battery, still won't turn on. If i plug it in, I get no response, just the red LED.

Is my baby dead? I wanted to hold off until HTC throws something at verizon worth getting but I might have to settle for the Droid X.. Not a fan of motorolla phones at all, but what can you do? Has anyone tried getting a replacement vogue? I wonder if they still ship the refurbs or if they send out a comparible model.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
yep its dead. the same thing happened to me and mssmision. sorry that happened to you man
[Touch CDMA Android Development] _CriMson:
eh that sucks.. thats for confirming my fears lol. Well, I guess it's time to upgrade. I'm gonna miss my vogue though, best phone I've ever had.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] _CriMson:
imagine that, turns out it was just my battery that shat itself.. I threw a backup I had lying around in there and it worked fine..
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
damn dude you got lucky! me and mssmision werent as lucky as you lolol
[HD2 General] thegios:
Has anyone really tried this?

I would like to upgrade rom and I understand that by using this mode I can rstore back tweaks, mods and apps including registration keys.

Thanks
[HD2 General] j4n87:
Worked for me, when ure on the same manila. Got problems restoring a backup, when switching from 12 manila to 14/15 -> sense didnt start.

After unchecking all manila files in the backup it worked.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nulry:
i know that gps is free to use. but it seems that Desire does not have GPS. Is it using AGPS? How about if I using wifi, does it need charges?> I am afraid i will need to pay from using GPS.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tawm:
The Desire has GPS and AGPS. I believe AGPS uses a small amount of data and so costs a tiny amount but either way It costs money to download the maps on Google maps unless you're on WiFi.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
AGPS can use some data, but if you're worried about it (no data plan or roaming abroad), you can switch off mobile internet so absolutely no data is consumed.

If you're doing that, you will need an offline GPS solution though, such as Copilot, where the maps you need are stored on SD card.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nulry:
thx a lot `~~~~
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tiznom:
Remember that most of the data consumed will be for displaying the maps on the screen, assuming you are using it for that purpose. Using the GPS or AGPS itself will use little to no data. For example, if you have the camera set to embed location info in the photos you take, it won't need to pull map images to display. I have taken photos with no data connection at all, and the location info still embeds in the pictures. The location data in the pictures could only have come from the GPS, as there was no wifi or other antenna coverage.

If you are worried about how much data you will use over mobile networks, just set your wifi sleep policy to "never" in the options. If you have wifi at home & work, you will save some money by having your phone default to that.

ok I currently have a samsung saga (my 5th wm / ce /pocket pcdevice)

jornada 700

jornada 540

del axim 50v

treo 700w

and the saga

the one thing Microsoft has gotten perfect is outlook / exchange sync

once you install zaynee unlock I love love love it

but win phone 7 and android and ios will be the best options come December

how good is the current state of th eart for use in / with a corporate network.

or should I just look for a wm6.5 when the time comes.
[General Topics] xaccers:
ios always struck me as exchange sync being an after thought.

we've had several users who made the mistake of setting sync over the phone network and configured their iTunes to do the same, so they ended up with duplicate contacts and emails. Really well thought out by apple :rolleyes:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] LukeSP:
What is the default cpu governor? Conservative or ondemand
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lgkahn:
Conservative
[Galaxy S I9000 General] LukeSP:
Thank you, can I change to ondemand? I think it mays provide more responsiveness.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lgkahn:
No read some threads about it on pauls form. Doing so causes black screen freezeups
[Droid Eris Android Development] Morkai Almandragon:
Do any of the devs prefer Sense?

Im finding more and more "little" things I did not realize were particular to sense (email that doesn't suck harder than a Tijuana Whore on pay day, the lack of Vcard functionality etc).

Problem is, I am loving froyo too:(

So anyhow I guess more directly I want to know if anyone is working on a sense/froyo:)
[Droid Eris Android Development] gnarlyc:
It sounds like you want something like Tainted Vanilla with a Froyo base... Maybe someone will get the motivation to do that. Maybe not. It's not a bad idea.

I personally find AOSP based ROMs to meet my needs, but Sense isn't bad. It just slows things down, and this phone doesn't need to be slowed down.

Another hybrid ROM with the extra speed that Froyo and OCing brings... Hmm. It's something to thing about.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Morkai Almandragon:
I could honestly care less about the ascthetic parts of sense... In Fact I would kill to see a vanilla rom with HTC mail and contacts only...

I just hoped some of the devs prefered sense.
[Droid Eris Android Development] es0tericcha0s:
I know one "dev" that is wanting to start work on a Sense Froyo, but there are some people here that aren't fans of this gentleman so I won't bother mentioning his name. Keep an eye out over at androidforums though.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ban_dover:
phonebook 2.0 looks a LOT like the htc contacts.
[Droid Eris Android Development] homewmt:
I believe Framework is working on a Froyo version of sense.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Morkai Almandragon:
I don't mind the look of 2.0, I love froyo, its the missing functionality that is killing me.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sjflowerhorn:
drizzy you better make a sense froyo!
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
This is the exact idea behind xtrROM ;) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=694472
[Droid Eris Android Development] Morkai Almandragon:
is that a hint you are working to extend that to FroYo?:)-
[Droid Eris Android Development] mattyboy1013:
I kinda like the look of the new sense that the desire didnt get. i also know that there is a sense based froyo build possibly coming this way soooon/
[Droid Eris Android Development] refthemc:
I actually enjoy sense, it seems more snappier and fluid then the Vanilla roms released, I know its just a kernel thing though. Which is why I can't wait for Kaos to come out with his new kernel :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] grndnpnd:
i dont think that people dont like sense i know i do i just like JIT way more lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] Marisa:
I hate Sense. I used Ivan's Official until Tainted Vanilla came along, and switched to True Vanilla when it became available. Have not used a Sense ROM since.

I'm not a dev, but there are people that indeed dislike Sense
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sjflowerhorn:
what sense rom do you use thats snappier and smoother?

what AOSP roms have you used that are slower then sense. . . so i can make sure to not use them. No offense sense rom builders, but i havent had any luck with sense roms. i do love how it looks just slows my already slow enough phone down further.

#1 there always twitching between simple home screen scrolling and app drawer scrolling let alone anything that needs to actually use the CPU

#2 my battery dies much faster with all of those awesome looking widgets

#3 JIT doesn't play too nice with sense making it slightly lose its edge against AOSP roms.
[Droid Eris Android Development] DDustiNN:
I used to like sense until I started using White Widow... now the only thing I actually miss from Sense is the Facebook contact linking. Everything else seems to have a replacement so far... and often more customizable, which I always enjoy :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] Duffman3005:
Evil Eris is a very solid sense rom imo.
[Droid Eris Android Development] richiea19:
Facebook sync has been working with the newest CELB build. When I boot, the market has an updated FB app. I suspect this may be the cause.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Morkai Almandragon:
Yes, I know, it was the rom I used before FroYo...

now that I think about it, is it possible to get the BT functionality in 2.2 ported to 2.1?
[EVO 4G General] Westibone:
I've done a fair bit of searching both here and elsewhere online, and I've yet to find anything relating to a successful repair method for small surface scratches on the front screen (which may perhaps be impossible).

I've been going without a screen protector/case for the last few weeks, and despite being über careful, I have a very small scratch in the middle of the front screen. Not a show-stopper by any means, but enough to give me pangs of annoyance every time the light catches it.

Has anyone found a way to fix/conceal this kind of thing, which from what I understand is pretty difficult with a glass touch-screen?

Thanks in advance for any advice.
[EVO 4G General] zone23:
I wonder if you can use rubbing compound on it? Also would a screen protector cover it? Don't feel bad I have a pocket full of dust under my screen. I just wonder why they didn't make a headphone jack plug.
[EVO 4G General] Westibone:
The first thing I am going to try is to go after work today, get a screen protector, and see if that helps reduce the visibility of the scratch (in addition to obviously preventing new ones).

On the one hand I feel silly for stressing over it, but on the other....well, what can I say?

If I continue to keep waking up in cold sweats, I might have to resort to more hardcore methods...
[EVO 4G General] wfrandy:
About the only thing you can do, that I know of, is cover it with a screen protector. That is what I had to do on my previous phone when the screen got scratched. Fortunately, once I put the screen protector on it you couldn't see the scratches any more.
[EVO 4G General] strung:
You might be able to fix it by putting toothpaste in the scratch and wiping it clean
[EVO 4G General] jerryparid:
Use toothpaste or jeweler's rouge (for normal glass at least)
[EVO 4G General] sfox8:
I had one minor scratch on mine and tried fixing it with toothpaste. Didn't work. It actually made the problem worse by creating a bunch of tiny microscopic scratches around it so now it looks smudged right around the scratch all the time unless I'm always wiping it clean with a microfiber cloth.

Luckily for me, I'm getting the Evo replaced with a new one when my local store gets their new shipment in. I have some light leakage and a spot on the screen that is lighter than the rest of the screen (looks almost like a burn spot) which is a great excuse for me to return it and start fresh (and this time with a protector).

I'm not listening to these "scratch tests" for phones anymore. After babying my phone for a month and STILL mysteriously ending up with a scratch out of the blue, I can't risk not having a screen protector anymore.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Now we have some official information about regional availability.

In a nutshell, WP7 will support 5 languages (English, French, Italian, German and Spanish), and Marketplace will be available in 17 countries (Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, New Zealand, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland, UK and United States).

While at first I thought - fine, I'll just import one from wherever it's available, it won't work.

First of all, it will be next to useless if you speak Dutch or Russian, for example - it won't have dictionaries for auto-correction or, in the worst case, won't have the input characters necessary.

What's even worse, you won't be able to buy applications if your market isn't supported.

Big disappointment...
[Windows Phone 7 General] Windcape:
Disappointing low availability in the initial rush. I'd expected more of Microsoft.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Iridox:
Lol. You guys are way too harsh. Do you know how many carriers those markets contain? A LOT.

Rolling out an entirely new software platform and entirely new devices is not an easy process. Lighten up, they're doing an excellent job.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Windcape:
No, we're not.

Apple iTunes is the only marketplace that supports selling/buying applications in those regions. And same goes for music services (iTunes Music Store) versus Zune.

Google after over a year of Android still haven't launched anything in northern Europe. It's super annoying that we're left behind innovation this easy. I'd expected more of Microsoft, who have a established business selling software and services in all the European countries, to be able to launch in all these regions at the same time.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
I'm not harsh, I'm disappointed because I'm left out of the party, even though I live in a country that almost 4 times as many mobile phones in use as in France, where Microsoft has over 30% market share in smartphones, where they have tons of people working at their offices including developers and localization contractors and what not, and where they have some of the biggest ISVs supplying third party applications.

So I'm frustrated, not harsh.

Google isn't a consumer oriented company, have no infrastructure or processes in most places to sell anything directly to end users, so that's understandable. But Microsoft? Come on, they're just being lazy.
[Windows Phone 7 General] chikoo:
But it is still very successful.

Which makes Microsoft think.....and rethink its new product roll-out.
[Windows Phone 7 General] IM0001:
Could their not be other issues like Licensing and other laws that might make it difficult to get everything in order before a mass release is done? Just because you have access to similar products now doesn't mean it is easy to get new products to you when Laws/Procedure get in the way.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
That is precisely the problem. It's the same reason that developers have to be in one of 30 or so countries because Microsoft can't pay them if they're outside of those.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nizzon:
Wow, none of the Nordic countries. :confused:
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
Probably copyright issues. That and languages that aren't spoken by a large amount of people comparatively.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Windcape:
All the Nordic countries speak/read/write English almost as well as their native language, so it's not a localization issue.

Legal issues is more likely the problem -- Specially when it comes to Zune, more than anything else.

But it's still disappointing, as Microsoft got large local divisions in the Nordic countries, specially Denmark (Microsoft Dynamics is developed here), so one would think they could be better than Google in this.

What I don't understand, is that Apple got both iTunes for Apps and Music available in all the European countries, so why would Microsoft be limited here with Zune?

However, it could also just be that Microsoft isn't pushing it to all countries due to simple logical issues -- there simply ain't enough phones. Nokia had same issue with the N900, which also were limited to the major countries + Finland (Nokia resides in Finland).
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
But is it common practice to sell stuff in english and not the local language? I really don't know but I would think they would localize it.

Zune has been interesting. Microsoft really hasn't bothered to sell it anywhere but the US. I suppose it's more of a cost/benefit thing. They just didn't care enough to take it abroad. They started that when they brought it to Xbox 360 and now they're going further with WP7.

But yea, it's going to be hard enough on them and their partners to do an effective launch in 17 countries as it is. And they're supposedly going to make their way to the Netherlands before the end of the year so that may just be it as well. Or maybe they couldn't get all the legal issues straightened out in time? At any rate, it's no small undertaking.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Windcape:
For cutting-edge it's generally accepted.

Yeah, they stated that Zune will be released in all regions WP7 is released in.

Doesn't make it less annoying for us :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Well, Zune is a very difficult thing because digital rights have to be obtained for every country separately... Plus, Zune has streaming, so you have to get streaming rights as well. Sometimes a label will have an agreement with the artist that won't cover digital rights, so you'll have to negotiate these separately. That's a colossal amount of "manual" work to make an international music store - and then you get videos, too...

As nice as it would be to have Zune Pass though, I can certainly live without it, and I sincerely hope this isn't something that's holding WP7 back - they won't open Zune in many countries till doomsday.

Apart from Zune, however, I don't see any big hurdles. Translation isn't a big deal, they have a network of subcontractors that do it, and everything is in those MUI files. Marketplace is available in more than 17 countries even now, so they certainly learned how to deal with tax and legal issues by now, and it's not that difficult really. OEMs know how to sell devices there, have distributors, retail/MO partners etc. etc.

At the end of the day I don't care if they "launch" WP7 in Russia or not, all I care is that they add Russian keyboard. Adding language support is certainly not that big of anl undertaking which would sell a couple million more devices even without official launches and all that fluff.
