Huh? Are you serious? Have you tried the latest CM6 nightlies? They are *way* faster than stock espresso. Stock espresso is sluggish as hell, especially with Sense UI and that stupid "recent items" status bar pulldown display. Ugh.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slinky1914:
You have got to be kidding. TeamFenix 1.7 is pretty fast and so is Eugene's Port. I love them but they dont have bluetooth audio yet. I know it seems silly but its a deal breaker for me as of now.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stoneyjonez:
A clean install of CM6 8/10/10 nightly was noticeably slower than Espresso with all my apps. I think it may just be ADW. I HATE ADW Launcher. Has anyone used stock froyo launcher at all (like N1)? Is it any faster than ADW?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HebrewToYou:
ADW.Launcher *is* a 'stock' launcher when you disable all the extended functionality... Just disable the action buttons, screen previews and all the other stuff.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r0man:

ADW Launcher is faster, smaller, and in general speedier than the Froyo Launcher2.apk

Maybe you should close some applications?

Also, slinky try this:

SMR2 is just as fast as MYFROYO5. MYFROYO5 browser does not even come close to Espresso browser. MYFROYO5 camera/camcorder functionality is nowhere near the quality of Espresso's. Vignette covers my camera needs but the browser just plain sucks on MYFROYO5. Benchmarks definitely demonstrate huge performance increases with MYFROYO5 but somehow it doesn't seem to make a "real world" difference. Love the CM contacts and messaging but I don't mind the Espresso versions all that much. Sure love running MYFROYO5 and having great devs in the community that make it possible to do so. Going to keep MYFROYO5 on my device for a week ... gotta give it some time. Looking forward to an Espresso Froyo.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r0man:
My load averages are far better on #TeamFenix 1.7 then they ever were on Espresso (with the same number of widgets, mind you).
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NJAZ:
I'm staying open to MYFROYO5 and I'm going to get a #TeamFenix 1.7 "setup" going as well so I can do a comparison. I think I'm way to familiar with the Espresso experience to fairly asses these great Froyo builds. Just glad that devs are still putting the effort and time into ROM's for our devices.

Ya need to try Aria sense rom-its faster than any nonsence rom period and its 2.1,why its so fast?I have no idea,only thing that keeps me from using it is that you cant install apps from uknown sources(att restriction).

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xenoletum:
You all need to chill. The guy wants a Sense ROM with 2.2, and you're all telling him that he DOESN'T want that. You're just as bad as some of the sales people at T-Mobile, telling people what they do and don't want when they know what they want.

Personally, I can't do without the integrated social networking in the phone. I've tried running CM's builds and such and I just can't do it, especially with the facebook contact sync broken and lack of the integrated friend stream, which is what this guy wants.

Just because you all can do without those things doesn't mean that other people are so quick to give them up.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HebrewToYou:
Uhhhhhhhh

Download T-Mobile Social Buzz -- it provides Facebook, Flickr and Twitter contact integration on ANY rom. That's what I'm using right now on my CM6 nightly.

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marty22877:
maybe the guy likes the visual aspect of sense too,i know that's why i stay with it over CM6. I bought the G1 the day it came out and honestly, the stock ROM is boring, been there done that for almost 2 years. I doubt I'll ever go back to a non sense UI. I flashed CM6 yesterday and i just couldnt do it. i went back to my espresso within a half hour. plus, my sense is just as fast if not faster on my phone then CM6.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
I feel the same, I have CM6 on my G1 but...Stock is just well you said it, Boring!

I can't wait for 2.2 Esp, I didn't buy this phone so I could just use Vanilla on it, how pointless, to have 2 phones with stock on it. I hope tmo has a 2.2 for us soon, cause everyone else inc evo users have 2.2:mad:
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] landykos:
I also like to believe in the to each their own. It is really great that we get all these choices and have devs that make great ROMs for us. Its a shame so many people have to yell at each other over stupid stuff.

Personally I still find my self going back to the stock sense ui also. I love what CM has done but there are a few things I wish I could have from both. As for me I can't tell a speed/performance issue going from 2.1 or 2.2.

I do not like the 3d Gallery its way to slow and seems to always have to reload all my photos every time I open it. I also do not like the music player. The launcher to me is not a big deal cause you can just install and use which ever one you want. I personally enjoy LauncherPro more then all the rest something about that 3D scroll of the apps.

For some reason I also have a hard time with the appsFat32. Ext2 apps2sd just works better for me. I could be doing something wrong but who knows.

It would be great to see a FROYO Sense ROM port. Good things happen to those that wait. Lets not yell at each other and enjoy the freedom of choice.

Sorry if that was long just felt like getting my thoughts out there.

Thanks DEVS ur work is greatly appreciated by me and always will be even if I do not use your rom!!

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
That phone still has a 480 × 800 display, which is much higher than ours....It would be hard to do that. We need froyo from the Legend/Aria because they have pretty much the same specs(might be minor diff's). We need only mdpi phones to port from, graphics might be really ugly on our phones.

[Nexus One Accessories] GandalfTW:
I got this Galili 1570mAh battery for my Nexus One and I have run several tests to see how it compares to my stock battery. I could not find any reviews on this battery so I figured $15 is cheap enough to give it a shot and see.

Test setup:

N1 OEM battery used for 5 months or so.

Galili 1570mAh battery used for 2 full charge and discharge cycles (according to my research it is a myth that you have to do discharge/recharge cycle few times to get full capacity in lithium ion batteries)

I tested using following steps:

1.	Fully charge the battery, give it an extra 30 minutes or so at 100% charged.

2.	Hold the power and trackball button to go into Bootloader mode. This is great for battery testing as the power drain over time is identical each time, as only screen is using power and there are no power saving feature kicking in like screen timeout etc.

3.	Unplug the power supply and start timer.

I used video camera to keep track of time as I didn’t feel like staring at my phone for over 3 HR’s.

The original battery tested out to around 3 Hrs 15 minutes before the screen went dark. The Galili time fluctuated around 2 Hrs 52 to 2 Hrs 54 minutes. I run the tests 3 times or so over span of 2 weeks with almost identical results.

Conclusion: Yet another battery that lies about its capacity. It seems to be the norm that all the aftermarket battery manufacturers are inflating the capacity information. I found this cool web site where there are bunch of them tested.

batteryboss.org

This is OK battery for a backup but I was counting on getting higher capacity in the same footprint. It looks like none of the batteries out there can beat the original N1 battery.
[Nexus One Accessories] zok-star:
thanks for the review!! Shame its crap!
[Nexus One Accessories] espeanage:
So the lesson here is to fork over a little more for a genuine Nexus One battery and don't go cheap with the generic batteries.

Has anyone else run into a situation where all the widgets on the screen get doubled up on top of each other? For example, the friend stream widget, when scrolling i can sometimes see ghost text/pictures that is stationary under the widget. If i hold down the widget i can drag it to the trash only to find there is another copy under the original. I rebooted and the same thing happened. I ended up rebuilding my scene from scratch and so far so good, but I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed this bug.

[HD2 General] rp-x1:
Even if it was true, current handsets wouldn't be able to make use of it, as there are too many buttons.
[HD2 General] anrabi4:
I was wondering... what is the problem with having more buttons? If we had less, I could have understood that it represented a problem, but if there are more... I don't see how that could bother such a high-end OS. Can`t the remaining buttons simply be mapped to do ordinary stuff? Or in the worst case, can`t they simply be rendered useless?
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
Thats what I thought too, but every single piece of info I can see on WinPhone 7 (including the development guides) is that there are only mappings for a particular layout of buttons.

I'm guessing these are mapped to particular ASCII codes or something, almost certainly different ones to the button codes on the HD2 at current (not sure how easy it is to change these, maybe hardware driver level?).
[HD2 General] jagger2k:
Here is what i do not get about the buttons. Why not leave the answer and hangup buttons out of the equasion? they serve a simple purpose. they have the 3 middle buttons for the stupid os controls.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byrong:
I'm looking for an app that could be programmed to cycle on and off the DINC's power cord.

I'd like to be able to leave my DINC plugged in, but have the app switch between battery power and charge mode at intervals.

For example, it could be set to charge for 60 minutes, then "trick" the phone into thinking the power cord isn't plugged in for 15 minutes (forcing battery power and not taking any power from the cord), then repeat this cycle. I'd like for these times to be user changeable.

Does anything like this exist? Would it even be possible?

My touch screen just stopped working and I have tried soft resets and cleaning under the edges of the touchscreen. No dice. I don't want to hard reset as I don't want to lose my contact info and my pictures stored on the phone itself (not on the external SDA card).

I can turn on bluetooth using start and the keyboard. However, at the Active Sync screen, there is the 'sync' and the menu' clickables at the bottom of the actual touchscreen. I cannot get the cursor over those, so I cannot hit enter, etc to activate either one of those. Therefore, I cannot sync or connect to my computer via bluetooth!

Any help on how to accomplish this without a hard reset would be greatly appreciated.

Now that the 2.6.32 kernel is out. Can we patch the kernel with Sven's patch to enable ush host on the incredible?
[Droid Incredible General] Slick1123:
Patch Applies...

The patch applies cleanly to the source for the latest HTC 2.6.32 kernel we have on our phones. I have the equipment to test this, but the weather is too nice today to stay inside to configure and compile a kernel. I'll start building later.

This will be my first time modifying a kernel on an Android device. Fastboot sounds like it would be helpful here, but last I checked the Incredible doesn't have fastboot.

Any Incredible kernel hackers out there have links or advice for how to go about testing an updated kernel?

Cheers,

-Slick
[Droid Incredible General] Slick1123:
Still working on it...

Unfortunately, getting the kernel to compile with EHCI (host controller) instead of USB gadget support is not as easy. HTC's patches to the kernel assume USB gadget support and all the callbacks that it provides (e.g. usb_register_notifier, usb_get_connect_type).

(If these callbacks were required for charging to occur (e.g. in htc_battery.c) when USB is plugged, that would kind of stink.)
[Droid Incredible General] gowthamj:
Thanks, for the update. I have another friend of mine, who is taking as shot at this. Can you post the changes you made. Maybe its helpful for other ppl trying to get this to work.
[Droid Incredible General] kmalyala:
I would like to help.

Let me know the steps to get the lastest kernal and what setup you are using.

I got a USB OTG cable, Y cable, Kenington USB HUB. Looking to get Keyboard, Mouse (Could we use the port of the mouse pointer from x86 port in CM6 ROM), USB Drive and I hope USB VGA out.
[Droid Incredible General] Slick1123:
Sure, here's the "link":

linuxbeast.net/incredible_host

You'll need:

- the "stock" 2.6.32 Incredible kernel from HTC's website (unpack it)

- sonic74's patch (apply it with 'patch -p1' in the kernel directory)

- the config file from the above link as '.config'

Then apply one of the two patches from the above link, again with 'patch -p1'. One of the patches modifies the EHCI driver files to give you more debug output (#define DEBUG -- so you get the same output I did above), while the other does not.

As you can see, it didn't take too many changes to get the kernel to compile. The harder part was figuring out that I still needed to select CONFIG_USB_ANDROID to get the msm_hsusb platform device (i.e. the USB controller hardware interface) defined... and then avoid selecting/compiling the USB gadget driver (msm72k_udc), which would have then claimed that resource (as in stock).

Thanks so much for your interest. I won't have time to work on this for at least several days, so... good luck!

-Slick

P.S. I also included two kernel updater .ZIPs for the impatient. One lets you try the current state of things, and the other reverts back to stock. Use at your own risk! ;)
[Droid Incredible General] gowthamj:
Will try to load the new kernel and try to debug. If you need help in testing the changes, i am more that happy to risk my incredible. I got an extra one to play with.
[Droid Incredible General] Slick1123:
It would be nice to at least see confirmation of the behavior I'm seeing; it's painfully close to working. Once you insmod the usbcore and echi-hcd modules, the USB controller appears to initialize and recognize the internal USB (host) port. But it doesn't seem to recognize the presence of any USB devices I plug in (besides, say, beginning to charge once I plug in a hub).
[Droid Incredible General] Slick1123:
OK good, so you're seeing the same behavior I was.

Do you have the right cables to test plugging anything in? If so, what (if anything) happens when you plug in, say, a hub?
[Droid Incredible General] drawde:
This would let us plug SD card readers externally and read/write to it right?
[Droid Incredible General] Slick1123:
Yes, pretty much any USB device (that Linux supports) would work.

No interrupts yet
