1260 @ official Froyo running on unbranded HTC Desire

No task killer, no custom rom, 24 Mb free internal memory at the moment (More than 80 pcs 3rd party apps), 16Gb Class2 sd-card. Considering with others' results, especially those on various custom roms, this score with official froyo seem pretty reasonable to me. Isn't it?
[Desire General] jbs1077:
Just bought my HTC Desire and looking into custom roms. Which rom (with Sense and without Sense) is the best in terms of overall usability, reliability and speed?

Thanks
[Desire General] Ik Desire:
Totally depends on what you like. All (stable) roms are good.

[Desire General] jbs1077:
Ok, so let me rephrase my question then. What is the most popular rom with and without Sense in this forum?
[Desire General] Ik Desire:
Without a doubt, OpenDesire is the most popular rom without sense.

I don't know but I think pinky is the most popular sense-based rom. It's very close to stock desire rom.

Please explain me how to different htc desire with the same rom gets different rating?

And on what do the rating depend on?
[Desire General] GANJDROID:
Wow. Just wow! The highest I've ever seen :D
[Desire General] iain2510:
AFAIK there are 3 main reasons for different results.

1 different Roms use different kernels. As the kernels get updated they use the hardware better and therefore faster. Also, some Roms use newer graphics drivers so the videos run at a higher framerate.

2 some people overclock so their CPU runs faster

3 the extent to which you can overclock, whilst remaining stable, differs from phone to phone as the CPU's all have different tolerances.

You can overclock using setCPU or JuiceDefender if your Rom allows it.

I guess it was vorkKernel V2, the sickest ever seen: i even had something above 2000 with that bad boy on OpenDesire..just too bad the vsync was focked on that one, adw wasn't smooth and more stuff like that, otherwise i would be still using it right now. Now the OD project is coming close to an end, so while i wait for Adam to finish his new AOSP rom i'm just relaxing a little with Lee's sense one, which works great with the new overclocked kernels by richardtrip :D

It is really strange. I got 13xx something with Insertcoin 1.1.1 stable. Tried to instal 1.1.2, failed, went back to 1.1.1 and got 987. Then upgraded to 1.1.3 now and got 1025. I would expect at least the score to remain the same or maybe improve from one edition to another of the same ROM :)
[Desire General] ApplesRevenge:
Using standard CyanogenMod-7.0.3-Desire clock settings gave me a Quadrant score of ~1272.

Insertcoin 1.1.4 with the kernel #2 3 runs between 1450-1470.
[Desire General] danarama:
Not sure why people care so much? Quadrant scores and real world "speed" are not the same.

On Deforst, with Vork Kernel and Data2sd gave me 2400+, which just goes to show how unrealistic it can be. My phone felt pretty sluggish. Now getting 1500-1600 and it feels fast as hell. About as fast as Defrost without data2sd which was still bringing in 1900+

If you have flashed runnymede rom by sebastiaan15 you can have very high score. His rom is really fast but as you can see in quadrant (if you have paid version) lots of this points you'll get for I/O database, reading and writting. But for example the graphic chip is very low in this device.

[EVO 4G General] Kornsaq:
if all your wanting to do is tether to 1 pc through USB, than just get EasyTether.

It works great for me, and I still get 7mbs with 4g turned on while doing a speedtest on my PC. And, you do not need to be rooted to use it.
[EVO 4G General] bbowenx:
Yeah, thanks for the reminder, i tried that and pdanet first, but stopped bc i was able to with htc's stock software, and i was told its legit from sprint, but at this point it might be the way to get along till more headway is made, only 10 for the https and would work well as i dont need root. At this point 40 quarters is a better use of my time Still though kinda ticked at sprint, i feel like this has been a mega bait switch. They have been helpful, but they cant fix it.

Still struggling with the font color (for network and notifications). Did a few edits in status_bar_expanded.xml , status_bar_latest_events_content.xml and StatusBarService.smali.

[Android Themes] wipz:
Hi! I was away for some time, having lots of work with moving into a new apartment. Now I'm back and will experiment some more with this theme :)

That's probably because the wallpaper is 640x480 while the resolution on your Evo is much higher. Stretched images can look real bad.

It's the default font for android.

I might give it a try in the future but it's low on my priorities as I can't test the theme myself and I want it to work properly on my own phone first (MDPI and CM5/CM6) :p

It's already described under "Dock for LauncherPro". Just create the shortcuts and use "TransparentIcon.png" as Custom Icon for the shortcuts.

First of all, sorry if this is in the wrong section. I didn't see a Q&A section so i thought it would be ok to post here.

Alright so can anyone tell me what the best free available sms app is?

I have a friend that just got the Omnia i900 and she was telling me she really dislikes the stock texting app and asked if i can find a replacement.

I'm an android user so i'm not too knowledgeable with wm apps and whatnot, hoping a few of you can point me in the right direction.

I found that "HTC Messaging Client" release but i'm not sure if that is only compatible with htc phones somehow.

I'd appreciate any help, thanks.

I used the Facebook application, and they're all there in my Contacts app, but in Dialer One it only shows my Google contacts (and it doesn't even show their synced photos). I didn't see any option to show my social network contacts.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DraginMagik:

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] NegativeOne:
Necrobump! But really, did anyone ever find an answer for this?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Noxious Ninja:
Have you tried going to Menu --> Display options in Dialer One and looking in the "Choose contacts to display" section? You'll have to have sync enabled in the Facebook app first, of course.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DaKlown:
The problem is Facebook changed their app so only the stock dialer could show Facebook photos. The only work around that I know of is to install and run an app called photo unlocker. Its free in the market. You must be rooted to use it. Also its buggy so you might have to run it a few times but it works for me. Now any dialer app I install can use Facebook photos. Hope this helps.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Noxious Ninja:
I get photos in Dialer One just fine with the official Facebook app. The only issue is that they are low-res and look ugly on the incoming call screen.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] NegativeOne:
Noxious, I see no such option. It's not a matter of photos. The contacts themselves don't show up.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dirkyd3rk:
You take your phone and you look it in the face and say " dialer one show me ya moves" then you toss your phone in front of you and swing your fist at it while yelling "FALCON PUNCH". Problem solved, phone now displays FB contacts.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] awesomeindeed:
The best solution for this is to use Go Contacts. It has an integrated themeable smart dialer and has way more options than Dialer One. The option you're looking for is included in Go Contacts.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
Photo Unlocker does it. Root required, by the way.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] NegativeOne:
Go Contacts doesn't seem to want to do fb contacts either =\

moreover: what I've noticed is, it's only SOME facebook contacts, and not others. There's one call I got from a guy... in the call log it shows as his number, but when i click on the blank contact picture on the left. it shows me his fb profile

[EVO 4G General] jwnieves:
Hello,

I recently updated to OMJ's Froyo 2.2 ROM v2.1, FroYo 3.26.651.6 (august 4th) and afterwards, I kept getting a "sync is unavailable" error, when I would try to sync my google contacts.

This is the answer I found after an hour and a half.

1. Settings

2. Applications

3. Manage Applications

4. Running TAB

5. Scroll down to "Contacts Storage"

6. click on the "Clear Data" button (should zero out.) may or may not start increasing in size almost immediately

7. go back to settings

8. choose "Accounts & Sync"

9. choose "Google"

10. Sync your contacts if it hasn't already started by itself

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ivezaj123:
No, 4G is not in my area yet. I'm going to recalibrate my battery and see if that helps. Is there any recommended setcpu settings?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
I think there's a whole thread listing peoples' preferred SetCPU settings. My advice is to set your highest priority profile as "Screen off" and make it 245 min, 384 max. After that, set one for charging, then one for battery < 100%, all in descending priority. The important one is having the CPU go real low when the screen is off, in my opinion. I have mine 245/245 so it's just bottomed out when the screen is off. It helps.

Side note: I think 245 is the lowest setting most people recommend, 128 causes lots of problems in some cases.

Also, if you change ROMs a lot, I think it wipes your battery stats every time, so you probably do need to recalibrate. Cyanogen wrote up one method a while back. It's the one I used, and I feel like my battery is normal now.
[Desire General] Bashar .:
Hello,

I was wondering is there an official way from HTC (or an app) to migrate everything from HTC Hero to HTC Desire ? (like android to android)

i found many apps in the market but nothing does 100% unless it needs root.

what i want to achieve is:

migrate apps (found many backup apps that does it)

migrate apps data/history/stores/etc.. (found some backup apps that does it)

migrate everything related to Sense UI such as settings, theme changes etc.. (found one only one app but needs root!)

Please advise :)

Thank you
[Desire General] Tazzzz:
I think that mybackup does everything you need,no root even UI.but i think that the free version is limited to one phone so to transfer from hero to desire you need to buy it. First backup hero, transfer SD to desire and restore
[Desire General] Bashar .:
it will copy all user/pass configurations in all apps such as wordpress, seesmic etc.. ?

I think not, go to the developers site, it has detailed info
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr. Falken:
Ok so this is my first post here, and I'm sort of a noob so I'm sorry if these questions are too noobish...

First, I rooted my HTC hero last night, but I tried to install the rom (fresh 2.3.3) before wiping so I got stuck in this perpetual loop of the startup screen, had to wait until the phone ran out of battery and then did a wipe of data/ext and rebooted. Everything worked fine from there, and it seems to be working normally, BUT I'm wondering if this means everything installed correctly, or if I should just go through the process again.

Second, when I connect my phone to the computer I notice that I have the .zip of the image still in my phone's root. Can I delete this or is it necessary for the phone's function?

Third, are there any other roms people would suggest? I like vanilla android (not a sense fan), and I heard of a rom called Darchdroid. I was wondering how this stacks up to fresh 2.3.3...I'm looking for the smoothest experience possible (not a fan of the minor lag that happens in fresh)

And fourth, if I decide I want to get rid of Fresh and try a new rom, what is the procedure for wiping my phone clean and installing the new rom? (sorta noobish I know...)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingdazy:
a bit noobish myself, but I think I can answer a bit regardless, anyone feel free to correct me...

1: if everything is working, great! if you dont feel comfortable, and dont mind resetting everything up, go ahead, do it again, cant hurt. whenever reflashing/new flashing, Dont Forget to make a nandroid and wipe! (and you can rename the backups in USB disk mode so you know which ones are what, otherwise go by the embedded date in the autogen'd title. in the nandroid folder on your SD card btw)

2: as far as I know, leave it?

3: HUGE fan of Darchs work, cant go wrong... keep in mind it does not have VisVoicemail in it, fix flash needed.

4: reboot into recovery,

make a nadroid backup

,

WIPE

!, flash the new one according to cookers intructions! done! (if ya dont like it, buggy, nandroid restore back to your last good one you did like!)
