FYI - Quick Status Update:

So, what's going on? CyanogenMod6 RC3 still seems to be a lil bit buggy. After crwaling through Cyanogen's Commits I discovered some kernel issues. So far CyanogenMod6 RC2 is the best build which works on our devices. I played around with addr2line to debug libskia.so more detailed. In the end I had to mix up some other libs to get RC3 working. Now I am waiting for Cyanogen to bring out RC4 or even Final build. There are rumours that the new build should be ready in the next days. According to the nightly builds a lot of things has changed. I could try them all out on my device. Thanx to everyone which have tested my builds so far. As soon as the new RC or Final is out I will port it over so we get stable, too! For now you should pick RC2-Builds (CyanogenMod6 / Froyoredux).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Masterface7:
Could you link to your favorite RC2 link? I was gonna try the 12-8 nightly build of cm6-rc2 but i noticed the changelog says Removed Browser and added Opera Mini and i dont really want that.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
He says which one to use...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Masterface7:
Well since there are numerous rc2 builds I was wondering if one build worked better than another. Why was the browser removed, was it not working in older builds? does that mean that older build are not usable because the browser messes up? Since he recommended an older release over the newest one I figured there would be some sweet spot that maybe he would know.

Also considering one of the comments on the rc2 froyoredux is, Speed isn't as good as expected but I will focus on that on next build. I probably don't wanna go with that.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] neopeek:
For me Froyoredux RC2 worked best on my crappy HTC Touch Diamond. Maybe that's an other experience for other users on other devices - but you should give froyoredux a go. Nevertheless 12-08-2010 CM6 is also good! Just google around and take any browser-apk and put it into AndroidApps folder on fat32 for CM6-Port. It will install automagically on bot-up. I was only playing around with a snapshot in my brain and cause of that i removed broswer and included a non-working opera which I even didn't try before releasing (sorry man - i ahve no time to test my releases...)

One thing I can tell you about Neopeek on Rhod210 is that the OS is not reading the MAC address for the wifi radio. That's why the 210 doesnt pickup wifi networks, the phone cant authenticate itself to the router. Hope this helps and if someone has already discussed this then let the roasting begin...

Ok did a full reinstall and then copied the files over and my sound is working fine. I think something else was messed up on the sd card as I had ran the other android port from the same sd cards and it had installed some stuff to the card.

Love the wallpaper! :D

I've created a very quick background which seems to work on ADW launcher running on Cyanogenmod 6. The only issue I'm having is getting the maze aligned on it as "the man" and the ghosts overlap the downward sections and my icons don't seem to sit right. :(

Is anyone talented enough to create a maze which would align with the icons and the characters? I'd love it if so!
[Android Themes] chancellorr:
Haha. I no longer have a bank account or credit card so I'll have to wait. As soon as I get one this will be the first thing I will purchase. Great work. Keep it up.
[Android Themes] JakeWharton:
Or I could just incorporate the wall drawing feature into the wallpaper itself! Then all you'd need to do would be adjust the grid padding and the walls would move with it.

I also like the 8-bit look you have going on there so I think I'll add "8-bit" as an option under the drawing modes for the entities and game to give a true retro look. It'll use sprites modeled after the 8x8 pixel originals.

The wall additions shouldn't be hard so expect them soon. The 8-bit drawing mode for everything might take a bit longer, though.
[Android Themes] chazam:
Sounds great Jake! :D I'll keep mine for now as it is as it doesn't bother me too much.

Ill appreciate the updates!
[Android Themes] JakeWharton:
Just pushed out RC2 with simple wall drawing support added as a feature. It's disabled by default but you can enable it in the "Display" section. There's a color preference too.

I just updated the wallpaper and it's working perfectly. Thankyou! :D

Hi all,

I remember with another rom than I have now (DjDroid) my Desire automatically started the built in night clock - dimed screen, turned off ringer, shows alarm clock

Is this possible for the Dj Droid rom?

Which free app provides such a feature? I searched the market, but did not find any working solution.

Does anyone know any app?

[XPERIA X2 General] Jolo_:
Did you notice that it's not possible to add a missed call/received call/outgoing call number to an existing contact in the address book using the dialer app?

You can't even copy and then paste the number manually into the address book. So, you have to memorize the number, or write in in a paper, and then editing the contact.

What a piece of crap.
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Sorry but what are you talking about?

Do you have the correct firmware actually?

I mean you can perfectly add any number to contacts,

I do it all the time. The dialer is perfect BTW.

And actually all the new numbers from dialer can be simply written in Notes and copied from that.

I honestly don't know what is the problem with your device

but it's certainly not true.
[XPERIA X2 General] Jolo_:
BTW, You can't copy/paste numbers from the dialer app into any other application.

And I've have MR2 firmware.

And in the Xperia X1, you can add a new number from the dialer to an existing contact (a contact that's ALREADY on the address book, not a new one).
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Jolo I'm sorry but something is wrong with you or your phone.

I can add any new number from Dialer to Contacts.

I don't see a reason of adding existing contact....

And you can YES copy the number from the dialer to notes.
[XPERIA X2 General] Jolo_:
You receive a call from an unknown number.

You answer it, and you notice that it's Mr. John Smith, one of your clients. You already have the Mr. Smith contact on your address book. But, this number is new because he has a new cellphone or a new cell line.

So, you might want to add this new number to the ALREADY existing Mr. Smith contact.

BUT YOU CAN'T.

It's that difficult to understand?

In other phones, even my old Z750, or the X1, or of course the iPhone, you can do it.

If you can do this, can you please tell me how to do it?

And not, i've tried again and YOU CAN'T COPY A NUMBER FROM THE DIALER.

Jolo.
[XPERIA X2 General] mariusburcus:
Yes this is a crappy bug. My phone behaves the same as Jolo complained.

However there is a workaround.

Can you imagine a bug that also has a bug? Well this one has. In Phone app, go to menu>options>advanced and tick add new phone number to Contacts at the end of the call. When this box is checked, at the end of the call you will be prompted to add the number and yes it allows you to select an existing contact to add the number to.
[XPERIA X2 General] Jolo_:
Thanks. Very useful.
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Every WM device has that too.
[XPERIA X2 General] amk:
should you try this?

from dialpas screen:

menu/tool/options/advance = tick to ADD NEW PHNOME NUMBER TO CTC AT THE END OF CALL.

after your phone call - x2 ask do you wanto to add, it will come up default wm6.5 contact and you can easilyyyyyy add it ...

happy trying :)
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
It works here fine.
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Ok so the fact is you can copy numbers from Dialer to Notes

but only in the space you actually write number, not from the history.

And I usually add numbers from this prompt so I didn't see that adding from the history makes a new contact.

It's interesting if it's a general WM 6.5.3 thing though.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] azazin:
Hi guys,

Need some advise, i have had the SGS for around a month, the hardware is great and the screen quality is awesome, but the problem is lack of development support.

During the time i have had this device, probably 3 decent games (psx4droid, skies of glory and hyper jump) have been released, the rest have been released in the past.

No more than 5 useful applications have been released.

Not many of the Market apps are useful and most are spam.

I am thinking of switching to the iOS4, the development off apps there is far better and hundreds of new applications are released there.

Dont take this as a troll comment, i like the SGS, its just i dont like the lack of support.

Advise? Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DrBarrell:
What advice are you looking for? The android market is growing dramatically every day, you've had the phone for only a month and in that time, 3 great games have come out? What are you complaining about?

If you can afford the iPhone apps why not. I feel iOS4 is great. Not that great compared to Android though. I need openness and customisability. I need an mkv and ogg player. I need something that truly multi tasks.

And I dislike iTunes a lot.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] azazin:
Thanks, thats the kind of reply i was looking for.

I like the built in support of loads if codecs too, my only doubt is the app support, but hey, if its inproving like the other guy said, this is a keeper.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Deleted member 2351944:
No amount of great hardware or customization is going to make up for critical applications or games that you want.

I have an iPhone 3GS right now. I'm thoroughly unhappy with a lot of parts of the iPhone. I don't like that it's closed, I don't like major missing applications especially Google apps, I hate iTunes, I want real multi-tasking, I'm sick of fighting with jailbreaks... the list goes on.

That said, I am tentative about the move because a few apps are still missing for me. Games, I am not so worried about - I'm not much of a phone gamer. Right now, though, the negatives about my iPhone outweigh the few apps that are missing so it's time for me to switch.

You may be experiencing the opposite problem. That's completely a personal decision. I'd say, if you're a gamer, there is no better platform than the iPhone. There are really great games for it, more coming out all the time. It is absolutely the best mobile gaming platform out right now.

So do it. Life is too short to worry about stuff like this. If Android isn't meeting your needs, switch and be happy.

Me, I'm switching because I don't like the iPhone as a daily pocket device anymore. I'm keeping it to use at home, though, for the games and apps that don't exist on the Android platform.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Intratech:
So what kind of advise are you looking for?

I read your post and all I got was I want an iPhone because of the apps, I don't see a debate or anything requiring the need for advise. Go get the iPhone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Kilack:
If you are after mainly games then yes get an iphone, android is still a way behind in this area and might still take some time to catch up, while developers are slowly moving to android they are really still just testing the waters with android I feel and many games ported to android are either missing features or far more buggy than their iphone versions.

I am sure this will change as android keeps growing in popularity but if you want lots of games now then obviously the iphone is better in that area.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] FITRS:
Yep. I don't understand the need to have other people convince you that you want to stay on Android.

Just go to iPhone if you feel that suits your needs.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gTen:
Most useful apps that are on the iPhone are on Android...if anything they did a recent study and found there are more developers on Android then there for the iPhone....

But there are 2 things to consider..

1) iPhone has a lot of useless apps that do the same thing

2) Not all apps are always in the market place..for example EA games has quite a few games but for some reason keeps them hidden..but you can buy them if you want to directly...same for Gameloft and many other publishers..

Either way Android is growing quite fast and will continue to grow...as of 2010 I have yet to see 1 major developer do something for the iphone and not for Android..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] venkatramanv:
Dear azazin,

I liked the way you said. You want something to explore rite ?

Your my kind.. I am the same way your.

I updated my OS to i9000xxjp3 (android 2.2)

Its amazingly fast there are bugs when you use Mobile AP (Hotspot), but this was working fine on i9000xxjp2 .. The official 2.2 is getting released on End of September.

And you can also try installing lot of application which is available on market.

The searching of application depends on how you use your mobile.

If you wanna be a developer you can do that easily.

There are games like Many and they are awesome.. !! Seriously 3d HD games are coming 2 our SGS :) ...

I've also read that Samsung is very happy with the Samsung Galaxy S, so much that the next major upgrade is going to be sometime in 3Q 2011. They are trying to do a yearly roadmap kinda like the iPhone. That's big for a company like Samsung that pretty much sh*ts fones left right and center. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gadjet0:
For me I changed to the SGS from the 3G because I was sick of the way Steve Jobs thinks he can decide what apps and which websites I can visit (Flash!).

I liked the Iphone but in the end I felt it was to restrictive, all the apps I had on the Iphone I have now found in the market and a few that allow me to do things Apple told me I didn't need to do (GRRRR!).

I can now layout my own home screen with my own wallpaper and list today's appointments, which I could only do after jailbreaking the Iphone and even then it was limited.

My only issue with the SGS is the battery life, my 3G was better even after 18 months of usage.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SkulleD_PT:
Keep it. Samsung did an awesome job with this one and if they keep the Galaxy S as a whole series (like the iPhone) we'll see some big stuff coming from them. I think samsung is throwing the first stones in order to become the reference on Android smartphones.

On the other hand. If you really want games... Yeah, get an iPhone...

[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
from my point of view

iphoneOS: is made for the simple minded, and don't mind being restricted by itunes, and dominion over what you can list in the app store.

Windows mobile: is made for the hackers, lots of content in every facet, games, apps, etc. unfortunately developers got bored of it and are moving to Android.

PalmOS: awesome OS all around, but unfortunately the market never picked up, lots of good apps, even bettern than Windows Mobile

Android OS: is like the new PalmOS, at least that's what Palm was trying to do before it went down, but Android acomprised what Palm couldn't; united all the DEVs, lots of good apps, games, freedom to do anything you flicking want in it, perfect for both hackers and non hackers alike.

Just not simple minded people friendly yet, eventually it'll catch up to iphoneOS in simple mindedness, so that new comers can just point and click and find everything they need in the market store, and have all the perfect hardware working without a single bug... just give it another 5~10 years, until then the rest of the world will have fun and have awesome apps/games for the intelectually optimistic people that don't mind to have a bug or two, or have patience to wait for the next release.

... oh that reminds me, iphoneOS v1 and v2 was worse than that... how ironic... let me help this customer upgrade their old ancient iphone to run iphone OS 4 so they can stop complaining to me every day why their iphone is not working properly... but oh! guess what, that iphone is too old, it's not compatible with iphone OS 4, soo too bad, get a new phone.

Other custom OS from HP/Samsung/Dell = restricted area, you are stuck with what you got when you purchased the phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
My only advise if you want an iPhone is to try iTunes first, and to ensure you wont need to jailbreak your iPhone to be able to use it as you want to.

Don't buy it hoping to use Banshee and other players to sync with it, because you will discover that new versions of iOS break compatibility.

Also remember, iTunes might support normalisation (not replayGain though), but it doesn't support FLAC's, automatic transcoding or ogg's (similar to the iPhone). And the iPhones aren't as forgiving as any other phone if you have a library composed of diverse codecs (iTunes isn't really extendible, and even if it was, the iPhones aren't, so you'd have to manually transcode your music).

I am so sick of hearing about people whinging that bricked their iPhone when jailbreaking, developers who wrote apps for the Apple app store and they were rejected (there is now no excuse not to be aware that apps aren't accepted), and people who whinge that their favorite non-Apple app doesn't support their iPhone.

Remember, it doesn't matter how nice the iPhone is compared to competing mobiles, if iTunes doesn't support your needs, you'll be in a world of hurt. Also remember that once you start using iTunes, it may be difficult to migrate to other devices in the future. Don't get caught in the trap of ONLY testing the iPhone, you MUST also test iTunes.
