[General Questions and Answers] mikeydjs:
I've been searching forums/threads to see if anyone had made an app that would possibly replace the HD2's current stock text messaging with one more like that of the iphones or the androids? It just seems with all of the other more "sleeker" functions and looks of the new phones os, this seems to have been overlooked. Can someone point me in the right direction if there is a current cab or app out there? Or can maybe someone create one??? Thanks!

hi ive rooted my desire using latest unrevoked 1 click method and done a nandroid backup and want to know how to load froyo custom rom? do i have to use rom manager or can i do it through the recovery menu by selecting the zip file on sd card? and my nandroid backup is a clockwordmod folder with images inside how would i use that to resore it if i needed to does it have to be put?

and how do u flash radio cuz in the recovery menu theres no option to flash radio only option to flahsupdate.zip?
[Desire General] wickedpenguin:
Hi,

Once you have chosen which rom and radio you want. You need to transfer them to your Sim card in the sdcard/ root directory.

Once that is done, turn off your phone, and turn on while holding down " Vol down" and power.

You will then get into the fastboot screen.

Here you use the vol up and down to select recovery and the power button to select.

Once recover boots us you use the optical pad to control and select.

Here you choose install from ZIP

Then you choose the Rom you previously copied onto your SD and run, after the rom has finished installing, then do the radio.

After you hav finished reboot the phone, but reboot into recovery and and select Wipe.. after wipe has finished. Reboot and your ready to go.

Any Questions?
[Desire General] Balos:
Whats the worst there can happen if you miss a step or reboot in normal mode... So what is the worst case scenario apart of failed hardware during this procedure.
[Desire General] imran333:
how to update radio

how do u actually update the radio what option do i have to click on cuz it doesnt give me a option to update radio
[Desire General] cgrec92:
flashing a rom is the same as flashing a radio or a kernel

the recovery will tell the difference

install it like you would a rom

note that a radio takes a long time to boot for the first time, it will reboot several times by itself taking about a minute, DO NOT touch the phone or you might brick it.

put any ROM/radio/kernel on your sdcard

go into recovery or use rom manager

install zip from sdcard

done.
[Desire General] wickedpenguin:
Good advice, I panicked the first time I flashed a radio.. I thought I had killed the device.
[Desire General] fernando.luan:
radio files

hi,

i've downloaded a radio but it comes in a folder with radio.img and a folder with a sequence of other folders. shall i just copy everything to my sd card and install it? do i have to rename it!? its seems strange because i thought it had to be a zip file!?

thanks

[Droid X Android Development] kingdavid216:
I saw the huge list of safe apps to delete, and I am getting my Droid X on monday, so I was just wondering if deleting the apps causes the speed to increase? I read a lot of reviews saying the Droid X has some lag unfourtantely but does it speed up when you delete all those applications?

I have the incredible right now and use a froyo basic ROM, I turn off all animations and delete all apps that aren't necessary, I just care about the speed of the phone. Do you see a speed increase if the applications are deleted?
[Droid X Android Development] Mikerrrrrrrr:
I don't think you'll see a noticeable speed increase. The X does have lag in some places, notably the lock screen (big wtf here), but I don't think it's that much worse than most other android phones on stock roms.
[Droid X Android Development] Ezun:
I have an incredible and just got my X on Friday. I have noticed that the X is significantly slower than the incredible (both running stock ROMs). I've also found that the X is buggier. I've never had a random reboot on the Inc and it seems to happen all the time on the X while wifi is on. Also, i've noticed that it's generally much slower in response to requested actions.

The most redeeming thing about the X is the AWESOME screen!!!

I'm hoping for a new release soon to help with the slowness, reboots, wifi, and responsiveness.
[Droid X Android Development] onelifexv:
The pro for all of the things you've mentioned there is that it seems to all be software related. HTC obviously has had more time to perfect Sense then Motorola has with it's new Blur-hybrid. I think once the software issues get worked out, the hardware for the X will outshine the Inc.
[Droid X Android Development] clubtech:
Just use launcher pro instead of the stock launcher and the entire system will run faster.
[Droid X Android Development] ecamacho:
Doesn't using launcher pro on top of blur make it use even more resources?
[Droid X Android Development] mavermc:
it does, but if you remove everything off of your blur, then launch and use the other launcher it will use quite a bit more ram, (i see about a jump of 20 to 30 megs though i haven't done any precise measuring)

But I do notice a bit of a speed increase, part of the reason could be you can control the speed of the animations, and if you bump it up a little bit, even if it lags on showing you the animation it's not as noticeable because you can get there faster. (if that makes sense)
[Droid X Android Development] synplex:
Well then if its mostly software related then I'll wait for a couple firmware updates or 2.2 before I start *****ing :D

ANy tips on how to speed the droid X up anyone?
[Droid X Android Development] grdm:
Here is a tip that i found out:

On boot, go into the running apps/services, and kill:

Skype MObile, Social networking, and backup assistant authorization

It frees up memory AND the best part, you dont have to uninstall the programs and risk messing up ur phone..

Just have to do it on every reboot, big whoop..
[Droid X Android Development] pima:
isnt there a app that will prevent things from starting up? if you know the name please tell me thanks.
[Droid X Android Development] nindoja:
Startup Auditor - It's a paid app but worth the money.
[Droid X Android Development] rolandroland:
I just tried launcher pro on top of fully configured blur and pro was still smother than blur. So since it isn't the phone I'm holding out hope for 2.2/blur update fixes this. Since that's around the corner I'll wait for it before converting to pro.
[Droid X Android Development] Cipherpunk:
Autokiller is a full featured, free app to do this.
[Droid X Android Development] Joe92T:
Launcher Pro made a world of difference on my incredible, zero lag whatsoever..

I like many people thought about getting the Droid X, i dont have a complaint with its size whatsoever moreso then other issues... when i tested the demo phone in the verizon store it seemed incredibly slow.. yes i know it was a demo phone and people probobly mess with it all day long but still it was like having a G1 all over again..

Secondly is the lack of root access.. with the encrypted bootloader it is probobly going to be near impossible to flash a custom recovery and therefor custom roms are also going to be a hassle, i love having my fully unlocked incredible with a S-Off Nand on the way.. having custom roms and overclock kernals changes the feel of the phone completely

Thirdly and last is the 2.2 update... i saw the 2.2 update news article on the Droid X and the guys Quadrant Benchmarks with it were 800 something? That seems redicilous because my Quadrant Benchmarks with my 2.2 incredible are 1400s and Linpacks are in the low 40s
[Droid X Android Development] cjosephmo:
Those benches are showing the droid x on 2.1, with some other phones on 2.2, which puts the droid x in the highest tier of performance. Once froyo is on the dx, youll see scores almost surely above the incredibles (because of the gpu) and very high linpack scores.

XDA App = Pwnage
[Droid X Android Development] meshdub:
Autorun Killer does the job, but you need to be rooted.

AutoKiller on the same website will help you keep your memory cleaner by automatically killing tasks. That'll improve performance if your phone is running low on memory (which can happen if all the stock processes are running).

Edit: Oops, didn't see the thread has second page :D
[Droid X Android Development] tdrake2406:
personally i rooted my phone installed root explorer renamed alot of junk on my phone from .apk to .bak. my phone is def snappier. i also turned off the animated backgrounds. i also use advanced task killer which is the main reason i started, in a sense, uninstalling apps the safe way. seeing all of those items running before i killed them was killing me. so i would try doing that and also turning off wifi etc when not needed.
[Droid X Android Development] c0uRtJe$t3r:
May not be the best scores, but this is after renaming only a few apps.
[Droid X Android Development] c0uRtJe$t3r:
Oops didn't show scores...
[Droid X Android Development] evilkal:
Old thread is old...

Blur sucks. Launcher Pro rocks... And umm... Well I prefer my Droid X to the Incredible after the mods. I have zero lag. Go me.
[Droid X Android Development] Joe92T:
I also am a fan of the Droid X... see attachment
[Droid X Android Development] jedikcc:
For what it's worth, I have updated to the leaked 2.2 update & it is WAY faster than 2.1. I'm running it stock without any tweaks or changes. I flashed, rebooted, & it was faster. Even the lock screen unlocks smooth & fast.

after rooting and installing a rom what can safely be removed and what cant?

is there a list of apps/things that I an remove without makin a mess?

thanx

please be specific if you can
[Droid Eris Android Development] HampTheToker:
I would like some input about this as well. I'd love to make this phone a little bit leaner, but I have no idea what can and can't be removed safely.

Any help is appreciated.
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
Safer thing might be to list the items you're considering removing (or don't know what they do or are for) and see what others say. For example, Amazon MP3 can be removed with no ill-effects whatsoever.
[Droid Eris Android Development] triphumphrey:
I would like to know if it is safe to remove the following apps or things...

HTC Setup

QuickOffice

Amazon MP3

Stocks

PDF Viewer

Footprints

Custom keyboards and dialers

E.G. I use xtrSense and it comes with a different keyboard than what came on the stock phone. I want to just use swype and have either the default Sense keyboard or the vanilla android keyboard.
[Droid Eris Android Development] thisisreallygay:
I know you can't delete footprints as its tied to some other applications somehow... unfortunately... And why are you wanting to delete the HTC setup?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Bimmer323:
Just do a nand backup before you start deleting and you'll be fine.

Btw-I deleted footprints and had no problems.
[Droid Eris Android Development] t2noob:
Lol wrong, footprints is safe to delete, that thing about being tied to other apps is an old wifes tale.

I have deleted it and have never had problems with anything.
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
All of the above, but I might leave "HTC Setup", just to be safe.

As for the keyboards and dialers, I'd also leave them, hmmm, as "backups" (??). They shouldn't run or stay resident in RAM and I'm guessing they take up little storage space (in ROM).
[Droid Eris Android Development] digitaljeannie:
These are related to the Text-To-Speech and are needed (especially is you use turn-by-turn navigation at all.

I do use turn-by-turn nav. Thanks for replying to those. only 120 more lol need to be defined.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tophunterz:
Questions questions questions

How do you delete apps. I am rooted with evil eris 3.0
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
I think ALL of the apps you listed are stock HTC apps. If you're running a Sense-based ROM, there's only so many you can safely/wisely remove. Personally, I'd be looking at the Market Apps you've downloaded and consider removing 1-2 or so that you don't use.
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
Via the command line, i.e. 'adb', or by using a utility/tool that allows you to delete apps.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Izeltokatl:
fyi,

if you delete Gtalk, your Gmail app will have FC issues they communicate to each other sadly.

I removed all these myself which is essentially the SenseUI stuffs, but kept the core HTC applications beyond this. I did update google maps, and moved it to replace the system/app google maps application, as well as the updated market.

SENSEUI:

Does anyone know what the Notifications ringtone under the main setting in sound and display affects? I changed it around, but it doesn't seem to affect anything. If I change the notification ringtone under messaging it works, same with email. Just not sure what the main one does.

Thank you :-)

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Most possibly so. Just test it...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaytsus:
er, you could also turn on Latitude and she could see the updates there as well.. But yes, I've ran three programs at once using GPS and no problems in general. There have been times that it seems like if two programs try to "start using GPS" at the same time, phone reboot. But if I'm already running Waze, fire up Google Maps, then fire up some geocaching program, no problem.

That said, I'm going to check out Glympse, looks fairly neat.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g4m3rz:
the phone does allow multiple applications .. I tried running runkeeper and runstar together just to see which one was more accurate.

worked flawlessly the first day but the phone rebooted on the next.. might have been GPS related..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jep4444:
i'm not sure how glympse works but both should just read the data the GPS feeds them anyways so i doubt it matters if you use both at the same time, at worst there would be minor delay cause they're both trying to access the same info but even that i doubt

I'm just trying to find a way to disable the weather wallpaper so my live wallpaper stays on after I unlock if I don't move the screen.

I know 1.5 didn't have it, so there must be some way to disable both it and the call to it, so it's like it was never there to begin with.

I searched, but came up with nothing I could use. I'm not sure entirely how it works, but there should be a line you can comment out somewhere or something.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xtcislove:
If u mean the Weather Animation after unlocking the screen there is a option at the Weather Application.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] johnequickiii:
I can't seem to find the option to shut it off in there anywhere. All I have is Update Automatically, Update Frequency, and Temperature Scale, and nothing else. ; ;

Am I looking in the wrong place for it or something?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gonzoangel:
remove the widget then when you go to readd it, it will prompt you for animation after you select a city.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] johnequickiii:
Hehe... Mine doesn't seem to want to cooperate. When I remove it and add it again, it doesn't ask for anything, it just GPSs my current location.

I tried the other two smaller widgets too, the ones that do ask for your location, but nothing ever came up about being able to disable the weather wallpaper.

This is pretty frustrating. lol It should be such an easy task. I mean really, am I missing something? All I wanna do is shut it off, even if I need to do a little programming to do it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gonzoangel:
i remember there was a select location option and then the next screen asking for weather animations

i'm running AOSP now so i can't replicate and help you buddy

but keep looking

maybe download a different clock?

Since I'm a new user I can't post a link but if you go to Forbes' website and click on the velocity blog you'll see an article near the bottom about HTC porting over sense for WP7.

I know that they can't put their own UI on top but they are looking into using the live tiles to be able to accomplish the same goal.
[Windows Phone 7 General] paperclips:
I'm thinking most likely in the form of additional live tiles and colors.

Edit: Here's some of the article so you don't have to go searching around the web.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Bengal34:
My thoughts too. OEMs are limited to six pre-installed applications. So we'll most likely see something like the mock up done in another thread here. We might see 2 single tile apps and 2 double tile apps that you could go into and change settings to make it look and feel like you want.

It's definately something I had anticipated that they might try to do but it's always nice to get some comfirmation on the subject.
[Windows Phone 7 General] daniel-t:
I may have to think twice about possibly getting an htc phone in october. I dont want added doo-dads and bloated doo-hickies. If they do try to port their own sense experience, I hope they can be uninstalled or at least deactivated completely!
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
Anything and everything installed by the OEM/carrier can be uninstalled.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Bengal34:
OEMs are limited to 6 apps of limited size. The apps that the OEMs create for the phones are also limited to the same restrictions independent developers are. This includes performance. They aren't allowed to bog down the OS with bloatware.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
Just for the sake of full disclosure, they do get access to some other APIs and integration opportunities that the rest of us don't.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Bengal34:
That, I do not know. My guess is that they will considering that they are assigned Microsoft employees to help them make applications. But I don't think we'll know for sure until after they launch.
[Windows Phone 7 General] krjcook:
It may look something like this

I'm eager to see what HTC has up there sleeves.
[Windows Phone 7 General] bernd420:
All they can add are additional apps, so I wouldn't be worried about fragmentation at all. The main OS will not have Sense UI.

[Windows Phone 7 General] Windcape:
Still, with HTCs recent epic fail on Android, I would advice against buying their phones.

If you need another reason, then be it to support the community, as HTC recently attempted to take down a custom ROM distributor.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
What are you referring to?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Bengal34:
HTC makes the best Android phones. They may have sense on some of them but not all of them. Them working some sense apps/hubs into a wp7 device won't have any negative impact on performance.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
Windcape must have made a typo.

Actually Android is big HTC success.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jdep1:
i hate the squre look, that is the only thing pushing me away from getting a wp7 wen it comes out. i hope htc intergrates a whole ui into 1 square where it feels like replacing the square ui (kinda like spb mobile shell in its earlyer stages where you would have to click on the softkey to go in to the ui & pressing end key would take u back to the regular today screen) not that its the best idea but it could be a start
[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
HTC cant code software to save their lives, just look around for all the issues Sense has on various WM devices, putting that on WP7 is just asking for the device to be a crappy bugfest for which people will blame MS and probably kill any positive buzz the OS may get. Just keep Sense in ANY form far, far away from WP7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] gaijin1%:
WiPhone makes no Sense

Still can't integrate! Sounds like Sense will have to be worked around with extra steps. Also, since WP7 has no file access, you won't even be able to customize Sense anyways.

As much as MS is copying the iPhone with WP7, they should just call it the WiPhone and get it over with. No integration or real multitasking for 3rd party apps (which are usually superior or made for your niche), what's that crap?!

When I'm done with my HD2 I'll be moving on to Android or webOS.
