They'll finish the of breaking audio playback started with aac in froyo by making mp3 streaming non functional or of reduced quality.

That way they won't need to do a decent music app.

Oh and when you use the dock instead of playing the audio too quietly, they'll play it backwards.
[Nexus One General] x986123:
I think it will bring the Gallery 3D tilting interface into the homescreen, which I would LOVE to use.
[Nexus One General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
depends on who is looking at the screen. you know there are people out there who think that pentiles don't create bad text quality (while it's scientifically proven that they do), and there are people who don't see the difference between 30fps and 60fps (just an example, i'm not implying that you don't see it).

I have seen many N1 videos on youtube and ALL of them show the stutter when opening the app drawer, and all of them are not as fluid as HTC Sense homescreens.

Returning the device is nonsense, because other than the homescreen everthing works fine. This can't be an hardware issue.
[Nexus One General] mjm128:
Right now my main hope is improvements to multimedia. Mainly a better audio player. All audio players on android sad to say suck. I need a better music player. I'm used to cowon's media players and all they can do and android has been a real step down...sadly. I'm assuming they will update that.

Also we'll probably see more little tweaks, like better copy/paste functions, selecting texts and stuff. Kinda like the small updates on the iphone that aren't worth mentioning but some how are the main points, like "You can now change your wallpaper" *shock* GROUNDBREAKING!
[Nexus One General] :
Really? I still can't connect what the movement and purpose of that feature is for.
[Nexus One General] Clarkster:
I think the purpose of the tilting feature is to annoy and confuse me. :)
[Nexus One General] cymru:
Maybe so you could tilt the phone to see whats on the next screen (like the next screen you would swipe to)

Sort of like a 3D hologram. Very stupid idea but maybe what x986123 was maybe getting at

EDIT: Actually thats a fantastic idea. I own this idea, if it appears in Gingerbread i'll be rich rich rich
[Nexus One General] hks18psigst:
I've read requirements for 3.0 consist of dual processors. Everyone knows it will be ported but seems it won't be an official release.
[Nexus One General] Blueman101:
Nah, those rumors were not true, shot down by Google, there is currently no known requirements for Gingerbread
[Nexus One General] bluefire808:
I love that some people fell for this hahahahaha
[Nexus One General] hks18psigst:
Fell for it?!.. why would people lie about that.. there's no point.. its pathetic that people have nothing better to do.
[Nexus One General] Tostino:
They will lie about that because it's a story that drives people to their site. It doesn't have to be true to give them a ton of traffic.
[Nexus One General] xManMythLegend:
The 3d gallery is slow and the tilting is pretty pointless on top of flat out terrible picture quality.

Its quite possibly the biggest blunder in Android 2.0.

Why on earth anyone would design the rest of the interface around that debacle Im not sure.
[Nexus One General] x986123:
I just gave my opinion. Google said it will based off of it. Maybe they improved it vastly?

[Nexus One General] sharkonland:
hmm..i remember reading somewhere that some of gingerbread's req's were 512ram 1ghz processor and some other stuff, but basically the n1 should qualify for the complete 3.0 treatment. But maybe they might be like apple a bit and keep a few things just for the next google phone.
[Nexus One General] Blueman101:
Sigh, those were rumors and were quickly short down by google, currently nothing is known about the gingerbread requirements.
[Nexus One General] mjm128:
I've tried it, the UI is ugly for one, *which I can bare with* no trackball skip...which I like on the stock and since it really doesn't add anything over the stock player i just stick with that...which sadly also sucks.

Doesn't seem like anyone else is really thinking about the good stuff. The unlock screen should be made more usable, music player needs a major over haul. I have a huge list Google needs to suit it.
[Nexus One General] pakraider:
what ever happened to TAT anyway? it's been months since any news peeped out from them.

i'm hoping gingerbread has that sort of a "wow" effect.
[Nexus One General] Blueman101:
well they did some demo thing a few months ago, but other then that nothing. They are still trying to get major phone manufacturers to buy them. Instead of being a simple launcher/home replacement they want to be like sense or motoblur. They want to be working directly with the manufacturer. I really hope they decide to release this as a home replacement and not a android overlay.
[Nexus One General] renegadEEE:
When will it be released? I thought I read something about october and that isn't too long away anymore. I really hope a video or in the best case a rom will leak out soon so we can finally see what we can expect of it.

And for those having lag using the stock launcher, try using a static wallpaper instead of the live ones. And those that don't know what people are talking about when they say the homescreen scrolling lags, try using the 'water' livewallpaper sometime. You'll know what they're talking about then.
[Nexus One General] Blueman101:
Probably November
[Nexus One General] isjr:
I'm not getting any lag with the stock launcher and the water live wallpaper. If any body thinks the stock launcher is to slow then try adw launcher and fine tune it the way you want. We do have options this isn't an apple phone. :)

Sent from my Nexus One
[Nexus One General] xoltrix2000:
Yeah I do have drawer scroll lag, i actually sent my phone back to fix it, but it's still the same with any launcher. Its embarrassing because my friends iPhone 4 has video wallpaper and it's smooth as a baby's ass. Luckily my wifi tethering abilities shut him right up lol!

But about Gingerbread, I do hope many of the wanted features and fixes comes native to it because we could always use some of that, it's very exciting. Improving the UI performance is the biggest thing for me anyway.
[Nexus One General] LevitateJay:
Does anyone have a link to seeing this 3D music app?
[Nexus One General] Amritttt:
maybe n2 lol
[Nexus One General] MaximReapage:
This is a late reply, but...

To maintain compatibility, the Android launcher itself uses only CPU rendering. Third-party launchers often include GPU rendering as well.
[Nexus One General] noiz7:
The video is here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IY3U2GXhz44&feature=player_embedded - and the part about music starts at about the 33rd minute. You can also see a little before that a bit about the new market which is also pretty cool.
[Nexus One General] LevitateJay:
Thanks for that. Looks pretty cool but nothing incredible, definitely a nice touch though.

I've been watching some meego tablet videos and WOW! Gingerbread is really gonna have to add something new rather than the current home screen swiping & widgets if they want to compete with that. It really makes great use of the big screen on tablets etc.

I think the current design is great for phones but something is gonna have to change for Android to move to tablets.
[Nexus One General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
Does the nexus one have a dedicated gpu? Afaik not. But launcher pro is still 10 times better than froyo stock launcher.

Hi

I'm currently on pays rom 1.3 and it uses this dialer

I quiet like it, but I would also like to upgrade to a newer rom and radio.

Can anyone confirm this dialer on a rom they tried?

If I can avoid sense that would be preferred as I use launcher pro and beautiful widgets

Thx
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] art0rz:
Looks like the standard Android launcher with a skin.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] larsn84:

Actually pretty cool skin, but guess I won't find it elsewhere then. Just have to cross my fingers and hope pays will update his rom soon

imho it's time to start reading up on how to do it . loads on info here on the board !
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EyeslikeOlives:
If you're software is 1.36 (or something like that) you can use Simple Root. If it's 1.47 (or something like that) you can use Simple Root OTA. You basically just (from phone) Menu < Settings < Applications < Development (I think, lol) < Debug

Then download and install Simple Root or Simple Root OTA and follow the steps one by one. Very, very simple. Make sure your phone is in Charge Only state when connected via USB to your computer.

If you've updated to the official Froyo ROM via Sprint/HTC which should be a software ending in .6, then there is no root method out for it yet. You must wait.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmxrider4444:
If you've used one of the non rooted ota updates you are sol for now until someone roots it, but if you where previously rooted and installed a rooted ota, then you are still rooted.

[Omnia II i920 CDMA] Japazo:
I'm playing around with external antenna's on my i920. I recently read a post somewhere in response to the claims by apple that the omnia 2 has antenna issues as well. A guy posted the menu code to access the RF signal strength menu. I need that *# code.

Also, if someone could clarify what each rf port (there are 2 of them) on the back of the i920 correspond to I would appreciate that as well. I assume that one is CDMA and the other is GPS...but I don't know for sure and dont know which is which. I would expect the one on the bottom to be the CDMA port since the internal antenna is on the bottom of the phone in that general location. Any confirmations?

Thanks!
[Omnia II i920 CDMA] tedkord:
You may be talking about my post over at modaco. Anyway, here's the cut and paste:

...dial **33284 and the Security Code 000000 (six zeroes). Choose MONITOR. The receive signal strength displays as R- on the screen. (I'm assuming the signal is in dBm, though no units are shown)

So, dumb self made a pattern that I don't remember. So my Vibrant is at the Too Many Pattern Attempts screen. I've tried to wipe the phone using vol up and down plus power but that doesn't remove the too many attempts screen at all. The only gmail account that I hooked up to my phone keeps telling me that something is incorrect yet I can log in to my gmail fine from my computer... What can I do? I tried to do Odin, but vol down plus power does nothing on my phone. It just continuously power cycles... When I boot into the recovery screen I can use Odin but it just hangs at checking files...

Tmobile Galaxy S pattern locked out, can't root

I just bought my first Android device, the Samsung Galaxy S from Tmobile from the US (I live in China) last week. I have only used it a few days and my girlfriend thought the pattern lock would be a fun game to play. Result - locked out. I have the same problems as in the below thread:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4784

I tried the receive a phone call then hammer the home key; emergency call and go to search and many of these type fixes; however none have gotten me through. It seems they fixed the security problem here but didn't fix the username password problem as I'm sure the credentials I entered are correct and I have data service.

After giving up on these methods I tried doing a hard reset. BTW, on this model you must hold down volume up AND down buttons at the same time, then press the power button to get the reset screen.

I have cleared user data etc, but when I try to reset the phone I get the error message "setup.zip not found".

I understand that I now need to root the phone, so I tried the method explained here but without having access to the phone I need to load this setup.zip file on the SD (not the one with Avatar).

http://samsungvibranthacks.com/samsung-vibrant-hacks/how-to-root-samsung-vibrant-galaxy-s/

I already installed Kies (has Outlook sync functionality!) on my desktop so that I can access the internal memory as an external drive. However the phone's USB mode must be set to (it will prompt whenever I connect) to Kies mode. However since I am locked out of the phone I can't tell the phone to get into Kies mode, therefore cannot access the internal memory, therefore cannot load setup.zip, therefore cannot root, therefore cannot get past the pattern lock screen = useless phone.

I need to root the phone anyway so I can load a few Asian IME's that didn't come with the phone so don't mind playing with this, but since I'm new to Android it may be a while before I can get through since most root instructions either require access to the internal memory via my computer or access to the phone (past the pattern lock).

If I offer to make a paypal donation could I summon the help of one of the more experienced Android gods that frequent this forum that can help me get through this?
[Vibrant General] Genesis1791:
To use odin you need to get into download mode not recovery mode (Volume Down+ Power) but since for some reason that wont work for you, you will have to do something involving the android sdk do you know how to use it?
[Vibrant General] izmahoby:
On one or two tries, when the device was attached to my laptop I got a yellow on black downloading screen but had no idea what it meant. How does this help me root it? In general the volume down+plus power button didn't do anything but reboot it.

I just downloaded the SDK last night for the last time and haven't succeeded in installing it so have still got a bit of learning to go before I can make it useful.
[Vibrant General] izmahoby:
I have the phone back in my hand now so adding some details:

Holding volume up and down and the same time, then pressing powere gets me to the "Android system recover <2e>" screen with four options:

Reboot system now

reinstall packagages

delete all user data

delete cache data

I've tried all and none will get me out of the username/password screen after reboot. If I select "reinstall packages" it says:

E:can't open /sdcard/update.zip

For some weird reason my application list under manage application shows some apps that are no longer installed.how can I refresh this list?
[XPERIA X10 General] zephyrix:
You need root and busybox to do this, but:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/47919/fix_permissions.sh

adb push fix_permissions.sh /sdcard/
adb shell
su
rm /data/system/packages.xml
stop
start

Wait for the phone to reindex the packages (note you'll get a lot of FCs and errors here when the phone finally starts up.)

Then finally...

sh /sdcard/fix_permissions.sh
[XPERIA X10 General] xd4d3v:
Thanks zephyrix, that seems to have fixed the problem.

I'm not sure what caused it exactly, but it appeared after re rooting, and applying the 026 flash on top of the rooted 024.'

The only thing after fixing the permissions was I still had 2 Camera apps.

I decided to remove the Semccameraapplication.apk and .odex and leave Camera.apk and .odex installed.

Cheers
[XPERIA X10 General] zephyrix:
Removing packages from /system/app causes this, because android does not expect system apps to be removed, and therefore does not try to reflect it.

Moreover, one camera app is the stock one and the other is the sony customized one. You should probably have left both.
[XPERIA X10 General] xd4d3v:
Hi zeph.

I took a backup of the SEMC camera app, so i copied it back to /system/app

problem is it doesnt come up in the app list.

any ideas?
[XPERIA X10 General] zephyrix:
You'll need to reboot every time you make changes to /system/app

(or just restart the framework.. stop && start as seen above.)

p.s. system apps should be chmod 644
[XPERIA X10 General] xd4d3v:
good stuff.

Permissions and owner were wrong thats why it wouldnt come up.

Just out of curiosity.

Permissions on /system/app/* should be 644.

but how about the owner and group?

Thanks.
[XPERIA X10 General] zephyrix:
system.system
[XPERIA X10 General] zephyrix:
Interesting. Then I suppose packages signed with the platform key are root.root while others are app_xx. You can find out the proper owner by doing a cat /data/system/packages.xml | grep packagename, although I've noticed no issues setting the owner as root.root or system.system
