Its really upto the chef as to what apps and mods they include in their builds.

[HD2 Android SD Development] kable:
How about making Windows Mobile Chefs to do the same?
[HD2 Android SD Development] terrytpot:
Suggestion

The Android build threads are starting to get a bit on the long side when posters are repeatedly stating "x" doesn't work or "y" does work...any chance of a standardized check list to use on all of the builds so that we all remember to check a particular feature is working OK? I appreciate that Rom, Radio and HSPL/SPL can also have detrimental affects so in theory they should be at the top of the list..If we all start singing from the same hymn book it should make it easier for the chef's to improve their product while ensuring their "beta" testers provide them with suitable feedback.

Now shoot me down in flames :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] Laurentius26:
Hi Mark.

LoL first time you see me here. :)

Maybe it would be a nice idea if Android Chefs mention which HTC oemdrivers, XIP

and Windows Mobile build they are using to build Android on?

Grtz Leo :)

[HD2 Android SD Development] slayerns:
There shouldn't be new topics for each new version of the builds that are in the same series (such as evo sense 1.2, evo sense 1.3,evo sense 1.4).

Those cooks should be warned.
[HD2 Android SD Development] aladdinaladdin:
how about include the battery usage estimation? eg result show by battery status pro? eg how many hour for light use, heavy, constant use? that to show is the build battery saving..
[HD2 Android SD Development] mskip:
That would only be a subjective estimation as alot of variables would affect the battery life. Its best to keep to facts as someone might come back and complain that they arent getting the quoted battery times when they have different apps installed and a different setup.

Mark.
[HD2 Android SD Development] not2nys:
Can we ask Chefs to clearly state when APN settings need to be manually entered?

A few ROMs have them already entered by carrier. Most don't.

Either way, there are a lot of new guys and gals who don't get this at all,

or just don't think of it (like me) until they realize these are released world-wide.

So, every release thread gets like 30% of its posts as, "Can't get data to work," etc.

[EVO 4G General] SilverZero:
There has been some confusion over whether ClockworkMod Recovery actually wipes the dalvik-cache correctly. I decided to test it myself. I booted into CW recovery, fired up ADB, and mounted /data. Looking inside /data/dalvik-cache I saw a list of .dex files (the cache, of course). So I unmounted, then used the CW menu to wipe the dalvik-cache. Note, this is NOT just the "wipe cache" option on the main menu. This is a separate option under "advanced." Then I re-mounted /data and looked again . . . and the dalvik-cache directory was completely gone. Rebooting into Android and looking again, it was back (rebuilt) after a long-ish boot time (rebuilding phase), so I'm sure that at least my install of CW v2.5.0.1 is wiping the dalvik-cache just fine.

If you're still not sure, you could use ADB to wipe the cache yourself:

adb shell
mount /data
rm -rf /data/dalvik-cache/*

Then you can use the Clockwork menu to wipe everything else and flash your ROM. These three commands actually just delete everything inside the dalvik-cache directory, whereas Clockwork appears to remove the directory entirely. Doesn't really matter either way, the system will replace the directory if it gets deleted.

Feel free to replicate my results. That's how science works. :)

UPDATE: Just did a similar test with the "wipe data/factory reset" menu option. This actually wipes the entire /data directory, which includes the dalvik-cache, so doing a dalvik wipe would be redundant if you're doing a full data wipe anyway. Correct me if I'm wrong.
[EVO 4G General] vladthedog:
Thanks :) I've never had any problems with clockwork, but it seems like there has been a pox on its name since my arrival to the android/evo community.

In particular, I always wondering if I was just being overly redundant going into the advanced menu and wiping dalvik cache ON TOP of a data/cache wipe when flashing a new rom. I'm gonna trust your experiment and stop doing it!
[EVO 4G General] SilverZero:
Can't argue with empty directories. :) The only possible catch would be if there is a dalvik-cache log or something elsewhere outside of /data, but I'm 99.7% sure just doing a "data wipe / factory reset" will wipe dalvik no problem. Still do the other "wipe cache" option as well, though.
[EVO 4G General] vladthedog:
Oh I will..I'm just lazy and if I don't have to go ALL the way into the advanced menu too wipe my dalvik I will feel a whole lot better about the world ;)
[EVO 4G General] crakerjaks:
redundancy never hurt anybody ;)
[EVO 4G General] Smac7:
when you clear the dalvik are you supposed to get some sort of confirmation. whenever i clear it ask me i want to and when i reply yes, it just goes back to the menu. idk if anything actually is happening. (is this what you guys are referring to?)
[EVO 4G General] SilverZero:
Yes, that's what we're talking about. Mine is the same way, but it appears to be fine. For one thing, if you do a data wipe first, the dalvik cache goes with it so there would be no real delay even if you then tried to clear it separately. It's already gone. But there should be some sort of confirmation added to the next update, IMO.
[EVO 4G General] firemedic1343:
I always wipe at least twice, it's cleaner. No one likes leaving any bits behind after wiping only once.

[EVO 4G General] rafroehlich2:
This question is out of pure curiosity. Are there any adverse affects of constantly flashing new ROMs? Such as degrading the internal memory. I do a lot of flashing and am not worried, but curious if it will end up slowing down the read/write speeds as is the case in usb flash. Thanks for your input.
[EVO 4G General] Vandam500:
That I know of there aren't really any except for the battery calibration. Its almost a must to calibrate the battery because when you wipe, all the battery stats are also gone too. Besides that, I can't think of anything else.
[EVO 4G General] Tilde88:
Flashing new ROMs? Flash as many as you like... As I once said before, its like asking if there is a limit to how many times you can change the channel on the tv before it dies...

However, if you flashflasfhaslfhfalsfalhfalh but never wipe your cache, you can come into permanently corrupted cache files. well, not permanently, but its would be a mission of missions.

this was a horrible issue in WinMo... people wouldnt hard reset and pfft... ghost bugs left and right.

This is nearly obsolete in android due to the fact that you'll get FC left and right (usually) if you dont wipe data+cache b/w differently based roms.

Edit: forgot to mention...

so long as you have a valid bootloader, you shouldnt worry about bricking it either...

signs of uh-oh: phone turns off (or battery dies) before a radio is completely done flashing (yes it can kill the phones' bootloader). i highly doubt that flashing recoveries could have the same effect since you would still have hBoot... dont quote me on that one... but radios for sure

ok so I exchanged two evo's yesterday they both came stock with the ota 1.47 I Was able to Root and Nand ONE!! no issues went right thru in 10 minutes using ota method.

Try the second one and I can't get this thing to nand unlock for the life of me. I have ROOT access no matter what I try from Formatting the SD card to trying every and any pc3 file I can find and I either get MAIN VERSION is older or Bootloader checks the file then goes back to the main bootloader screen and does nothing.

I am able to flash roms of course except those that require nand unlocked. So I currently have software version 1.32.651.1 release keys

WHAT am I doing wrong?

The wallpaper i'm looking for came as the default wp on a custom rom a few weeks ago. Its black, kind of carbon fiberish, but was in a circular pattern. I'm going through my old rom downloads now looking for it, but back when it first came out, it wasnt in the regular wallpaper folder. If i changed my wallpaper i had to re-flash the rom to get the original back. I know it had to be there somewhere, but i had a hard time finding it. I'm not sure which rom it was, there's quite a few out there. Thanks for any help, i appreciate it.

[XPERIA X10 General] blaze16:
Hey,

Back when I had my W600, the vibration on that thing was like an earthquake in my pants. But I feel that the X10's vibrate is rather weak (for incoming calls, texts, etc.)

Anyone have any thoughts/solutions?

Cheers
[XPERIA X10 General] Talonnb:
I had to laugh a bit when you wrote 'earthquake in my pants' but I'm sure the vibrate on this isn't meant to be as strong as a bulky phone like the W600. I doubt there are adjustments for this in the phone standard
[XPERIA X10 General] killerskincanoe:
Wow welcome to the world of SE smart phones. Go back and read the x1 forums about vibrate your answer lies there. B-)

[XPERIA X10 General] Fuzalert2k:
sorry, that really doesn't help.

Is there a software to increase the vib's strength?
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
There isn't any solution as yet - The only chance we have to improve this is either through future f/w or via using the root..
[XPERIA X10 General] chris_knows:
I had a W810, and I know what you mean...If it was on a table, people on the floor below would hear it vibrate lol.

There might be a way to make the vibration last longer, but considering how slim the phone is, it's probably impossible to make the vibration any stronger...
[XPERIA X10 General] the_ahmadzais:
there is a app called *sms popup* have rally good *earthquick in pants* lol
[XPERIA X10 General] suzed:
OK so your pants might be safe from a mega earth quake but have a go with HandCent sms. You can modify the vibrate in the settings/notifications area and there is a custom function that you can make the vibrate go on as long as you like, even multiple vibrates:D (Quite apart from that its a good text app with many areas customisable)

Happy vibrating!
[XPERIA X10 General] xGary:
LOLed at earthquake in my pants.
[XPERIA X10 General] McKebapp:
Take a look at the closeup pictures of the vibra engine within my Upskirt thread.

There is some room, so that you can probably make the hammer/flywheel/anvil a little heavier.

Maybe with a drop of solder ore something equal to gain the diameter and weight.

The worse the true running is, the more the earthquake is rushing through your pants... :D
[XPERIA X10 General] Jamolah:
I had an HTC DIAMOND which is thinner then the X10 and the vibrate on that is way better then the X10.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ElAguila:
I have read so many articles and some of them conflict with each other. I was hoping to get this cleared up. It is my understanding that the windows phone won't have removeable storage like the other WM, android, etc phones do. But I was also told that if the manufacturer designs it, the sd card internal can be replaced but when you do so you will lose all of your data and settings. Is this correct? If so, then you could put a larger card in before you setup your phone and then you would have room for multimedia and you don't have to worry about losing everything. Can somebody clarify this for me?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Windcape:
Technically "yes". But until some actual phones are on the market, it's very hard to answer.

However, the only data you'll only have local copies of on the SD card, is your multimedia (music) data. Everything else, including settings, will be "in the cloud", so it's not a real issue to reset the phone.

But again, we need information about the specific hardware releases for the public, before the subject can be 100% clarified.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ElAguila:
Thanks for the info. That is what I was wanting to know. If I am going to use the phone as my pmp device as well, I will need the storage for my audio/video.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Bengal34:
I believe they are supposed to have a minimum of 8gb of storage. This is supposed to be one of the areas that OEMs are supposed to take advantage of to differentiate their products. Give their handset appeal by tossing in a 64gb sd card.

I'm not seeing a reason you wouldn't be able to pop it open to put in a bigger card, but doing so will most likely void the warranty on the phone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
It will vary. Some will probably use internal microSD cards while others will use discrete memory chips. The minimum is 8gb. If the manufacturer does use a SD card, it is unknown how easy it will be to replace. I've seen text in the resources in the emulator saying that you must replace the original card that came with the phone. We may have to come up with a utility that formats the new cards in the way the phone needs.

CPLD-12

RADIO-3.22.20.17

My device is rooted, it has AmonRA-1.7.0 and CM-5.0.7 (right now upgrading to 5.0.8).

My question is, what *Updated* HBOOT and RADIO should i use? What are the advantages?

I think of hboot as something like a BIOS software and radio as an internal firmware for hardware components. Am i right? If i am, than it should be better to keep them up to date!

Could anyone please advice me on this? What versions should i use and where can i get them? =)

Cheers every1!

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] eyegor:
Actually there is no benefit from updating them.

An engineering SPL is what you should get, just as an additional layer of safety..but thats all.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phk:
Yes, finally i've read about SPL and i understand it: It's a bootloader for bootstraping the kernel loader, and the Eng's version has more functions like nand writing. Anyway, i'm updating to 2010 now just for the fun :)

But eyegor, tell me, how about the Radio?

Thanks m8
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] eyegor:
I tried a newer version of 3.22 and it just caused me trouble. Namely, when powering down the phone it sometimes rebooted instead of shutting down and i had to pull the battery...

3.22.20.17 is known as being stable and working well :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phk:
Ok, i've updated successfuly!

- Backup my SDCard to PC

- Copy 1.33.2010 Eng's SPL to SDCard

- Copy CM6 zip to SDCard

- Boot to AmonRA 1.7 and applied 1.33.2010 file, then Wipe (everything), then applied CM6-v1.2

Awesome! =)

Froyo is running smoothly on my Magic 32A hehe

Album viewer (similar to Nexus one) is just great.. It's cool and it shows our picasa albums xD

When i go to this option in setting on my x10, there were three things i could click. they were ROGERS, 302220, and Bell. i mistakenly clicked bell, when i am on rogers contract right now. After i clicked it, it said i am now registered on bell. So after i went back and clicked rogers, and everything was back to normal.

Does this mean anything will happen to my phone now that i was on bell for a minute? or will i have to pay more on my phone for my next payment?

sorry if its a stupid question.

thanks
[XPERIA X10 General] Talonnb:
Nah, just means your phone picked up the Bell network for a split second since they use SIM cards for part of their network now. The difference is there system wouldn't recognize your IMEI or SIM so no worries, you just wouldn't have had any service. There won't be any charge
