[Droid 2 General] ksizzle9:
Someone please tell me once u use the phone and get it set up the benchmarks go up. My x was below 700 the first few times i tried and now its regular 1300, with that said i tried te d2 today and benchmarks are only like 14-1500, why would they not be above 2000-3000 with froyo? When every other phone gets a 4x performance increase. Why would it have the same hardware as the x but have froyo, and benchmarks be basically the same? Please someone tell me they r getting above 2000.

[Droid 2 General] jpar:
It might be because the 2.1 that is installed on the Droid X had already included some parts of froyo. So maybe you guys already have some of the speed boosters of the full 2.2 update, resulting in a lesser increase compared to other phones.

[Mogul, XV6800 General] wkearney99:
So I'm sitting in traffic the other day and fire up the Bing app. Lo and behold I discover they've eliminated my ability to lookup traffic on this device. WTF? And it won't reliably kick me over to the browser either.

Sure, it's a free app, but one that's kept me using a WM phone.

No longer. I'm off to go buy a Droid2. I've been waiting for a better phone and would've stuck with WM. But not when they take a perfectly good app and phone and destroy functionality on it. Who the hell thought this was a good idea? Couldn't they at least have handled the transition better? Yeah, yeah, I know they want to promote using more features and those require faster phones. But instead of giving me an upgrade path they've just alienated me as a customer.

WM7 just doesn't hold out enough hope at this point. I've got a Zune (gathering dust in a drawer), so I know the pain of failed expectations. MS has just totally dropped the ball in the portable market.

Truth be told I don't really need to use than many things on a phone. And it'll be a cold day in Hell before I purchase an iPhone. That company's policies are just despicable. Not that Google's any lily-white virgin either, but at least they don't censor applications and developers.

Goodbye WinMo, it's been nice while it lasted.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] wkearney99:
Brand new Droid 2 in my hands. Local store in Rockville had 80 of them. Talk to Daren there if you want decent help, nice guy.

First impression is it's almost the same size as the XV6800. A bit thinner and heavier and maybe a slight bit taller. But it's got a nice feel to it. Even fits in my XV6800's fabric sleeve. Oddly enough with all the cradle and holster options out there I prefer just using the sleeve and keeping it in my pocket. Even got a desk cradle for it. Out the door for $253 total, and that's before the $100 rebate. Gotta love NE2 promotions.

Android is a bit different. But like WinMo it's got plenty of ways "you can't get there from here". Editing contacts and such is different, but nearly as annoying as WM6.

Best impression so far? That the phone itself rings the first time, the same as what the caller hears. Annoyed the hell out of me on the XV6800, it wouldn't ring until at least one, usually two, rings had been heard by the caller. I had to change my voicemail ring delay because of it.

It's the little things, and that's what has pretty much killed the WinMo devices. There's just too many little things that suck. I wanted to believe in it but I've since given up. Ah well.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] wkearney99:
And now I've upgraded to a Droid4. Kinda miss the smaller form factor. And the old XV6800 sleeve doesn't fit it.

MS drove me away by abandoning my phone in the maps app, now they're driving away the winmo7 users by having no upgrade path to 8. Still not grasping the value of keeping customers. No chance I'll go back to an MS phone given this clear track record.

Meanwhile the D4 is nice, but the big win was rooting it and running wifi tether on it for use as a hotspot. Beats having to be limited to my 5gb/month on the USB modem (now a 10gb shared plan with the wife's ipad3-4g).

Hey guys. i've had it with Froyo. i have a list of complaints, but that kind of post has been done too many times.

basically i'm wondering how to "downgrade" back to a 2.1 rom. i started with OMJ's 2.1 "eclair" rom and now i'm running his 2.2 froyoized rom. i'd like to revert back to the latter. can someone clue me in on how best to accomplish this?

thanks!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverStone641:
That's what I assumed. i just wanted to make sure before i screw something up.

@SporkMan, basically it seems slower, the battery life is awful and recently, i've noticed the phone itself is HOTTER. i carry it in a holster on my belt and this morning(while in court) i had it on airplane mode without GPS, wifi, etc on and it went from 85% battery to 42% batter in less then two hours and was hotter then it gets when i charge it off the wall adapter. i've NEVER gotten that bad of battery life. not even before i rooted it. thats just unacceptable.

plus, i haven't seen the talked-about speed gains in the applications, so it doesn't really provide me with anything new(correction, there is one thing i absolutely LOVE and that is the mass update in the Market. that just rules!)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisctb:
maybe its the rom youre using. froyo battery life has been pretty much the same with me. try fresh or something!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
you'll probably get a bunch of suggested roms to try, but my vote goes to BakedSnack and his Bkaed1 kernel. Hero tweaks the kernels to give killer battery - I've been raving about it ever since I switched over. I used to have to struggle to get over 13 hours battery - now I get over 20, without setcpu. You should nand and try it. If you don't like it, you can always nand back.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wfrandy:
I would have to agree with the others. I use Fresh 3.1.0.1 and run Netarchy's 4.0.2 kernel, and my phone has never been faster, smoother, nor have I ever had better battery life as I do now. I took my phone off of the charger at 8:00 AM today, surfed the net, answered a few phone calls, did emails and messages for a total screen on time of about two hours so far. I also did 15 minutes of FM radio, and half hour of streaming Pandora on the way to work, and my battery is at 76% at 2:00 PM.

The other thing you might consider is that, it wouldn't surprise me if in a few months, aps compatible with the evo running 2.1 won't even show up for you in the market any more. I may be wrong, but something to consider.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverStone641:
thats a good point. i hadn't thought of that.

Okay, i'm sticking with 2.2. i have to learn all about Baked Snack and figure out how to properly implement it.

If you're talking about 1.2.5, the reason its so small is because its not a Rom. Check my link again. You have to wipe and flash 1.2 first, then 1.2.5 over that without wiping, unless you want the themed version (which I highly recommend) in which case you wipe, flash 1.2, then 1.2 themed without wiping, then 1.2.5 themed without wiping. It sounds like more of a pita than it is, and its worth it in the end.

Rom first, then kernel (roms normally include the kernel, so if you flash the kernel first, and then the rom, your basically just flashing right over the first kernel with the one that was in the rom)

Just so you know, I haven't had time to check this morning yet (or try 1.3 on my end), but last night it looked like people were having issues with 1.3, so make sure you nand before flashing anything. If 1.3 isn't working well for you, try 1.2.5.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] CheesyColt:
so ive been researching and searching for a good week now on custom/cooked rom's and such. and ive finnaly decided to take the leap of trying them.

My phone is an AT&T HTC Tilt 2. And all i want to do is put Co0kie's Home Tab on it. Thats it.

So after hours of researching i finnaly discoverd how to flash my phone.

i used this method ( xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=550131 )

and now my phone is flashed (or whatever exactly thats suppost to do) and ive checked over this with the tri-color method.

and so i figured now i could just load CHT on my phone and istall it and ide be done, nope thats apparently not how it works.

apparently i need something called Manila Sence 2.5 . So ive searched and searched all over the internet and cant seem to find it, or if i did maby find it, it contains no reall directions on how to install it.

so im really hoping somebody could just show me in the rite direction. ide really appreciate it.

Please if possible provide links. ESPECIALLY to the sence 2.5 program.

ALSO, does anyone know if Sence 2.5 supports landscape? cus ive read a few things saying only 2.1 supports landscape? please if you know anything let me know because im always using my keyboard for texting and such.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sumflipnol:
Sense 2.5 (aka Manila 2.5) is available in almost every ROM in the ROM Development section. It's basically like TouchFlo3D or Sense 2.1, but it has the quicklinks at the bottom of the Home Tab.

You must flash a ROM that contains Sense 2.5 (you can't just manually install it via cabs).

The recent builds of Sense 2.5 are landscape-supported, albeit not perfect. For example, the Documents Tab isn't perfectly aligned, but the essential Tabs (tabs that are in TF3D and Sense 2.1) are supported in landscape.
[Vibrant General] Calcvictim:
Can someone explain to me what is inside the vibrant that is used as storage.

People refer to the internal memory card, why, is it an actual memory card or is it simply because apps cannot be stored there.

Why is the app storage space limited to 2gb if the internal memory is 16gb, and if all 16gb resides on the same medium can't it just be symlinked similar to what people do with apps2sd on other phones with no detriment in performance?
[Vibrant General] Disconn3ct:
There are 2 storage types soldered onto the vibrant. NAND (fast, small) and "flash" (16g, slow).

The nand is split up for various things like booting, firmware (/system), cache, etc. And - to solve lag with their own apps - 128 megs of it is split out for the built-in apps to use. (That is the 'method 1' fix - move all app data to nand, where it is super fast.)

The 16 gigs of flash is much slower than nand, and split into 2 sections:

- /data (mmcblk0p1) is android apps, app storage, settings, etc. (2 gigs of "application space"). This is the standard android-phone onboard storage, and not accessible to the PC.

- /sdcard (mmcblk0p2) is the 14 gig media/misc space. Standard fat filesystem, shown when you plug into the PC. (They basically subverted the standard android sdcard handling for this - solves some problems, but causes others.)

The removable sd is mounted to "/sdcard/sd".
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
^ awesome post man, care if I stick it in the sticky?
[Vibrant General] Calcvictim:
so RyanZA's lag fix, which creates a 1gb file system within the 2 gigs....why can't it be mapped outside of the original appspace since everything resides on flash anyway, the speeds should be the same, no?
[Vibrant General] Disconn3ct:
Sure. (I wanted to doublecheck some info, so it is slightly updated.)
[Vibrant General] Disconn3ct:
"mapped outside the original appspace"? Those words all make sense but not in that order :)

Data (and cache and so forth) all use samsung's proprietary RFS filesystem. (It has been described as "fat with wear levelling, unix perms and journalling".) The loopback mount fix basically bypasses all that and just shows rfs a large monolithic file. You lose reliability (journal) and flash protection (wear levelling, erase optimization) and so forth, but get speeds much closer to the raw flash. (Personally, I'm a fan of not prematurely destroying soldered on storage..)

One of the things to be tried is yaffs/jffs in place of rfs - all the advantages/protections with much better performance..
[Vibrant General] Calcvictim:
I understand about the RFS, I just don't really understand why the appspace is limited to 2 gigs when there are 16 gigs on the same piece of silicon. Why is it not a matter of partitioning and mounting the other 16 gigs?
[Vibrant General] Disconn3ct:
First, it's not "the other 16 gigs". It is 16 gigs total - 2 for apps/data, 14 for media/etc.

How pissed would you be if only kies (and adb) could get to that storage? That's why - 14 of it is presented as vfat, so that it can be exported over usb to the pc. You might be able to adjust the split a little (eg 8/8) using modified pit files and odin, but I wouldn't even count on that..

Certainly you can't share the space - android security guarantees that only the app (well, and root, but..) can read the app's files. Not the pc, not other apps. So you need something vfat hasn't got (owners, permissions) and you need to not export it to the pc where those limits won't be enforced. (Finally, you only get one fs user at a time - if you have it on the pc, you can't have it on the phone. "Please reboot into usb mode" hasn't been OK since the late 90s...)
[Vibrant General] Calcvictim:
Ok, so if someone did modify the PIT file then it would be possible. It's not a hardware limitation, but just the way the firmware is setup.
