this is already released. there is a android 3.0/windows 7 combo rom running at 2ghz with pretty much everything working
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chandlerw88:
I'm sure you can, I doubt developers who use their time on making it though

Edit: (post above) I stand corrected

Running haret.exe within windows to boot linux to launch android can be done...

As far as i know there is no way to do the similar on andoid to launch windows mobile.

that is why most windows mobile phones can get a port to android and not android to windows mobile.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chandlerw88:

That's just because nobody has any interest in putting WinMo 6.5 on their Android phone... WP7 on the other hand may be worth the work.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] looneylu:
may be worth the work but not the trouble... not open source...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EtherealRemnant:
Considering that some WP7 devices will most likely use Snapdragon it really shouldn't be terribly difficult to do - but yes, it would be illegal.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrsato:
Actually, it would not be illegal, as of yesterday.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elegantai:
no, it would still be illegal because you did not obtain the microsoft portion of the software legally. To be protected under the DMCA changes made yesterday you would have to legally own the software, then it would be ok

hi,

Im very new to this stuff and to the forum so i might not understand some of the thing you guys and gals explain to me...

Anyway, i have an xperia x1 running on the HTC Hero android OS and its very warm when i hold it and gets warmer when i charge it

Also, the battery drains very quick... and when it sits for an hour or so, it reboots to the ROM i installed; which is the Touch-IT BR Sense 2.5 Updated w/ build 23563 downloaded from http://htcpedia.com/touch_it_br_landscape/soft/sony-x1-rom.html?page=1

If yall could help me in anyway, that would be awesome

thanks,

Alex
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] matejdro:
For me, phone is warm only when charging. It was warm before, but it seems like it get fixed in xdandroid port.

Do you have data connection turned on?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] alex4659:
i dont think wifi even works, but to answer your question: nope
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] visser:
I had this with a previous battery, also, when in WM running WiFi Router. I'm using XANDROID now with wifi/3g running and it's cool as... no problems here. :)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] ted presley:
I think you should try the froyo version of Tremere in this link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=709632

Battery lasts for about 7-8 hours with average used (which is the not that bad for android on WM device, they are working out how to fix this). I think the warm reason is caused by your device consumes too much energy. BTW, the android version I show you can use wifi.

Hope it can help.

TaK
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] visser:
I got 7-8 hours, from 9am-4pm with 3G and WiFi today. will update to RC3 and give it another go tomorrow with the same settings.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Tremere:
You're getting better than I am. (Around 5 hours) Maybe I should get a new battery.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] vietdoan20062006:
mine is also hot even i turn off screen. battery reduce like 10% for every hour even i didnt do anything with the phone @@

the phone dies ( run out of battery every morning :D )
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] alex4659:
something else i noticed is when i re boot up my phone and come to the dual windows / android boot screen, it says that android is missing...?

what am i doing wrong???

BTW - thanks to all that helped and posted a response.

Alex
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] fraztto:
Can you start windows and then run haret.exe from sd card?=
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] alex4659:
I can but it would be a whole lot easier with the dual boot.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] 5526859:
Yes.I got same situation for my X1.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] yoper:
BTW I want to thank you for all de developments on XDandroid! :D I want my Xperia with android! thank you very much

I'm running A ROM with MAX Sense and using XDandroid but my X1i drains the battery in 7h.

Do you think if I flash my phone with a basic 6.5WM with no HTC Sense at all, the battery last longer?

thank you guys

yoper
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] cyberdesigner.net:
the rom you are using has nothing to do with the performance of andriod, because wimo will be kicked out completly of the ram by haret before andriod is booting.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] yoper:
ok cyberdesigner.net, thank you I didn't know that.

So why the android drains the battery so fast?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] cyberdesigner.net:
its simply not ready for daily use... there are many things to do for kernel devs for better powermanagement and we have to tweak android the xperia way ;)

at the moment we are running from the storagecard, which eats battery too.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] yoper:
yes good point... :D

the phone is in permanent access to run the android...

we wait for further developments...
[Captivate General] warri:
I just discovered a very simple way to control your backlight on your captivate. Just slide your finger left or right on your top task bar

. left to reduce brightness and right to increase brightness.

Try it out.
[Captivate General] m_1000rr6:
Awesome tip!

That explains why my screen would dim/brighten when I'd swype my that status bar for notifications. I had chalked it up to a glitch.
[Captivate General] Phredeee:
This does not work for me. Some of the things I have added? Beautiful Widgets?
[Captivate General] warri:
Ha, yea same thing was happening to me, so I decided to do some investigating, ie swyping my my finger ask around the screen till I found it..heh
[Captivate General] Main Target:
Really its like the top edge of the task bar....I dont have any apps that I think would influence that but it does it for me too
[Captivate General] madjsp:
Do you have auto brightness off or on? Mine us on and it is not working.
[Captivate General] warri:
True, when auto brightness is enabled this neat little trick is disabled.
[Captivate General] Rakuffo:
great tip! I love it!
[Captivate General] cowballz69:
Wow, turned off auto brightness and works like a charm, you found a easter egg loool
[Captivate General] warri:
I think is is the best way to control the backlight!!!....now i can keep it only as bright as needed at all times!
[Captivate General] MendedEagle:
Awesome find. Thanks!!!
[Captivate General] jlluck:
Is this phone awesome or what?

Thanks for the tip. VERY useful for saving battery.
[Captivate General] warri:
i have to agree, i was really a big big big big big HTC Loyalist, and after my fuze, had decided to never buy another phone unless it was made by HTC... but with AT&T's failure to pick up one of the high end HTC Android devices, i decided to give the Captivate a go... and i am SUPER Impressed!!
[Captivate General] smeltn:
WOW fantastic find!!! 99% of the time I use auto brightness, but this is a fantastic tip for adjusting the brightness quickly when needed.
[Android] Arty-Media:
Hi all, as you can tell by the title, I am a newbie to not only this site but also to Android & Linux too!

A little bit of a bio on what I've done so far (a bit long so please bear with me!)

I've had my HTC Desire (about 6 different handsets at last count) for just over a month, and as I have problems with the standard Orange HTC software, I read up and successfully rooted my handset, since this I have had no problems with the handset what so ever, and wont ever go back to Orange based software!

Now I have read up about 'cooking' my own ROM's, and spent some time on android.modaco.com, but I dont have the spare cash to pay for the online kitchen, and with a lot of research I stumbled upon this site (great site & info by the way!!!) so I followed the post on how to set up Ubuntu in VirtualBox (until the Java error and it needing root access or something) but anyway, I then saw the post about Cygwin and how to set up the kitchen and I did 'cook' a ROM, it was bassed on Pirate Rum's Android 2.2 ROM, so I run this through and added a few extra's but when it was burnt onto my handset and it rebooted, it did not work, the screen came up as normal, but I think I left out a launcher as I couldnt get to a home screen, no problem I thought so I then downloaded the 'PB99IMG_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.zip' ROM from the list of sites in the post about Cygwin, and precoded to modify this to my liking, also adding the Apps2SD package, all seemed to go well until the install was complete and it just got stuck in the loop of rebooting, getting the white HTC screen with the annoying tone and rebooting again.

It was like when I first rooted my handset and didnt partition the SD card & set it up per the guide on how to partition the card (512MB EXT2, the rest FAT32) etc... but anyway, I couldnt recover the handset properly, so I had to do the rooting procedure all over again, with goldcard, then set up Apps2SD, partition SD card before I could install ROM Manager to restore my phone to fully working order!

Please can you help a noob to be able to successfully 'cook' and burn my own ROM onto my handset please, as I am really eager to complete this so I can add new skills to my repertoire ;)

Thanks in advance for your patience, help & advice and again, sorry for the mammoth post!

TIA, Arty.
[Android] NeoS:
Hi Arty,

Welcome to xda-developers. It seems you've already read up alot on android. Still I would advice you to read the top sticky posts, as they contain ALOT of useful info on "cooking" and android rom.

Oh, and try to refrain from creating new topics with every question you have. I know this is your first, but I'm just making sure you're going to be a good member. :)
[Android] Arty-Media:
Advice needed!

Thanks for the welcome NeoS2007!

I have managed to custom a few ROMS, but these have been ROMS that others have cooked and I would like a blank canvas so to speak!

The other day I did download a stock Android 2.2 ROM, but I think it was for the N1 or something because after waiting ALL FLIPPING DAY for it to download(guess the guys site speed was really pants) I flashed it onto my Desire but it didnt work, just was stuck on the white HTC screen for about half hour before I accepted it would not work!

I have also tried to use different boot animations (how DO you make these yourself?) made by others and use that on a ROM I have been fond of, but that dont work either :(

Also, how is it possible to make your own backdrop wallpapers for Android to add to your cooked ROM?

In short, the topics I need help with are:

*** Where to get an un-modded Android 2.2 ROM from that works on the Desire?

*** How to make your own custom boot animations?

*** How to make & add your own wallpaper to add to your cooked ROM?

Thanks in advance for your help, time & replies, I hope I can get the answers to the questions I have asked here!

:) Arty.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdmove:
the screen for the N1 isn't squared but when selecting a picture as wallpaper...you can't select the whole wallpaper, only a square ratio of it.

anyway to select the whole wallpaper to make it look like in the gallery?:confused:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clarkster:
The wallpaper on a Nexus is 960x800. A LOT wider than the screen width of 400. Because the wallpaper shifts as you scroll from screen to screen.

So you need to get wallpaper in 960x800 size. (width x height)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdmove:
ok thanks.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdmove:
i have the option to not disable wallpaper scrolling (Launcher Pro) and i want the wallpaper to be 480x800. how can i do this?:confused:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
I haven't test it, but I think if the wallpaper if under 960x800, then it should let you select all of it, if not, then sorry, I don't know.
[Vibrant General] themoebius:
Howdy...

So I have a dilemma...

First of all, overall I LOVE this phone, and have had very few issues with it. The only "issues" I HAVE had have been the "too-long-to-get-a-fix" GPS and the stuttering/inaccurate compass in G-Maps. Sure the occasional lag-spike but every phone gets that. I performed the GPS-fix and it gets a fix MUCH faster now... so I'm happy there. Only problem left is the stuttering compass.

Now my question... I've seen threads about how people have swapped their phones and fixed the issues... my question is HOW? Why would swapping make a difference? I doubt it's a "new batch" off the line, and it sure as hell isn't new software, so why the difference?

Any ideas? Thinking about doing this but not sure if it's worth it or if I should just wait and see about a potential software fix from Samsung.
[Vibrant General] acjames:
I think people are just quick to assume. Its the same phone with the same firmware. I just swapped mine today and yeah the GPS and Compass worked fine at first. Now im back to the same issue. Same with laggin. I tried to not install a Task Killer and at first it was cool. But after about 5 hours of heavy use.....lagging was back. Installed task killer and now everything is cool.

SO in short....no swapping WILL NOT fix the issues.
[Vibrant General] Live2Follow:
I don't know why people are sure this works. If new phones were shipping with new software, it would have been released. I think, anyways.

Swaps of hardware would work for hardware defects if the manufacturing date is indicative of new hardware configs.

So I don't know. I'm going to call T-Mobile soon anyways. Their online chat isn't working for me at all.
[Vibrant General] darkknight49:
You wouldnt think it would solve anything. I did a swap and both mine had the same date on the box but the second one is a bit better. It takes better night mode shots and loads quicker than my first one did out of the box. Perhaps I just had a faulty one to begin with. GPS does work better on my second one but not great and the compass is still wacky.

A swap really shouldnt fix anything but I figured why not, it's worth a shot. Worked out ok for me but I'll see in a week.
[Vibrant General] Shane_pcs:
I have the home key issue and I think that swapping will help that. Seems to me that the handset has lower than normal build quality. Its possible that is why there seems to be such a difference in how the handset performs out of the box.
[Vibrant General] boodies:
I am not sure why it might exactly help out with the GPS issue but guess what! :) I just swapped mine about 10 mins ago. It locks on near instantly now. Maps work inside my house as well so awesome.
[Vibrant General] Aphotix:
Just to help clear up (you know, working in customer care at T-Mobile and all) the firmware on exchanged devices is Identical, so if you are having a software issue such as the several clearly discussed and posted issues, exchanging the device won't solve a thing, since the phone you will get is Identical.

You basically have two choices, either return the phone and wait for a firmware update, or enjoy the amazing phone until Samsung releases an update. (Mind this doesn't mean don't complain, by all means complain, make your voices heard, things get fixed faster if you voice your discontent.)

Since this is a flagship Samsung device and essentially is the only phone worth mentioning (including all variants) that they've had released for a while I'm sure they will support the device with timely updates. The thing is that they have to actually fix the problem, and test the fix on multiple devices, then they have to test the fix on a limited number of devices over the air, to make sure they aren't bricked, then they roll out a tiered update to all subscribers using the device, this takes at minimum a few weeks and on average 6-8 from my experience. More if your company is named Motorola.

They are usually pretty careful about this stuff especially since bricked phones cost the company a lot of money in exchanges. They want to get it right when they send the updates.
[Vibrant General] boomerbubba:
A very reasoned analysis. But it does beg the question a bit by assuming that there is no hardware issue implicated as all or part of the root cause of the very serious GPS problem. Right now it is only speculation that a firmware update alone can solve this problem. Meanwhile, the clock is ticking.

It does seem that another option for a customer with defective phone is to return it for a refund during the 14-day period -- or the new 14-day period that resets with the replacement phone that still doesn't work right -- and wait to see what concrete solution emerges. Or just keep requesting replacements every 14 days until there is an actual fix.
[Vibrant General] msw1382:
I swapped mine because of a different issue but I will say that the gps worked extremely fast on the first boot. So I also assumed that the new phone made a difference, it however did not. The phone has begun to revert back to the slow gps signal grabbing. Only thing we can do is wait for an update, which is not good business if you ask me.
[Vibrant General] thunderstruck!:
boodies-how is the accuracy of your location when it has a fix? What does Maps say about accurate to within X meters?
[Vibrant General] Keslynn:
My opinion is that swapping doesn't fix the problem. I did an exchange anyway just in case, and I'm ending up with the same issues (plus, new phone has a loose volume key). Both phones worked fine at first and then the GPS started screwing up. I've also noticed that GPS works ok after a reboot, but I'm not going to keep restarting my phone so the GPS will work like it should.

Not sure if I'm giving up for now and waiting for a confirmation of the GPS fix before getting another one; or maybe I'll stick it out.
[Vibrant General] boodies:
well hope you're wrong because so far with my exchanged unit, I can tell it locks on much much quicker and the accuracy goes down below 50m finally. It hovers around 8-9 meters so far. It will even lock inside the house where before it almost never did. maybe it's the exchange, maybe it's a reset that will do it. Either way, mine works now.
[Vibrant General] androidmonkey:
its in your head...
[Vibrant General] thunderstruck!:
Does it stay working, or does it start to crap out after a while as some have reported?
[Vibrant General] BUNZ1:
If I boot my phone up, go to the home screen, my phone will get the little soft popup s aying "Auto Update of Time/Date" and then everything pauses, and the phone "soft" reboots itself. Meaning it doesnt do a full reboot, but it comes back searching for a network, performing the media scan, etc.

I did a factory reset to get rid of this, and now it's back again. It's MAD annoying. Anyone else having this issue?
[Vibrant General] SE7EN-:
Yep I noticed the same thing with mine. I thought it was normal but I'm beginning to think otherwise. I'm getting some connecting to dm server thing as well.
[Vibrant General] BUNZ1:
Sucks, the phone's awesome but if it keeps doing this then it won't even matter.

One thing I noticed is if I let the phone sit, and load up it's usually okay. If I try to go into the phone settings while it's booting up, thats when I'll see the auto update note and bam, restart. It'll keep doing this until I either leave it alone or pull the battery.

Good to hear it's not something im doing.
[Vibrant General] danceponyboy:
deng this just started happening to me like 5 minutes ago

its getting a bit of annoyed

my phone was rooted and then i unrooted it and it still has the same problem
[Vibrant General] nviswanathan:
Do you folks have any Task-kill app running in the background?

I had the same issue as well when I had a Task Killer app running in the background. It seems the app is killing some service that is causing soft reset. I turned off the auto mode last week and this hasn't happened since then.

Hope this helps..

[Vibrant General] Judgement5:
Certain apps can cause it, I also had a gameloft game cause it. If you need to get access to uninstall apps the phone should boot fine without a sim in it.

How do take a screen shot on android without root?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] moonrock:
You can't. The only way is through the ADK.

Google it.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] dublued:
I think the user above means SDK instead of ADK

Rooting is super easy a monkey can do it.

It shouldn't take you more than 1 minute to do it start to finish.

After you have rooted, download ShootMe from the Market.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] zephiK:
or drocap2.. i use ShootMe myself though
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] moonrock:
gah this is what i get for not paying attention to my auto correct! thank you.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] pyun:
Hmmm...thats odd, I was thinking that ShootMe worked without root. Well, at least it did for my EVO. Might be worth a try.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] zephiK:
Requires root ^^^^
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Pneumatic:
I am not one of the uber l33t h@x0r types that rooted my phone so that I can dig into the inner workings of the operating system. I rooted my phone exactly for reasons like this.

If you're like me and hate not being able to install a program that you want to use.... Root your phone. It's really really really easy (really). If I did it, ANYONE can do it.
