[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Doctor Butts:
Works with Sky Raider ROM (may work with others, but I'm a newbie and I don't know ****)

Features: spinning Deus Ex logo (from the video game), without the text "Deus Ex" below it.

So, even if you hate my stupid bootloader animation (and you have every right to), just know that I'm posting it as a.. uh gift to the community. I really appreciate the work that everyone else has done while I just sit on my fat ass and download everything.

Here are the steps I took to install it:

Copied both files to my android-sdk-windows/tools directory (maybe you're smarter than me and abbreviated it to something like "butts").

Booted phone into recovery mode (clockwork)

Then to "partitions" and mounted System and Data

Connected phone to PC, ran ADB

verified phone was connected (adb devices)

Copied files to phone:

adb push VZW_bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource/

adb push VZW_Droid.mp3 /system/customize/resource/

Then I rebooted the phone (adb reboot), disconnected it. And watched magic happen. If you think magic is something annoying. Which I do, apparently.

Disclaimer: It's unintentionally loud and if you're afraid of it you can just hold off on pushing the audio until I go to sleep/wake up/update it.

The animation itself may slow down, as its either just too fast or that your phone is loading. So, I apologize for that. I'm just grateful I was able to get the darned thing to loop correctly on the first try. Also forgive me its 5:30am and I haven't slept yet.

The files are attached below. Please note that you MUST extract the mp3 file out of the vzw_droid.zip, but keep the VZW_bootanimation.zip file intact.

not much into games these days but Deus Ex was a game worth playing. Even thought about getting the new game.

[Droid Incredible General] bast525:
Anyone else notice this?? I've run both the first and the second 2.2 leaked Rom, and both exhibit this same issue. Okay first a little info: stock battery, stock HTC wall charger and stock use cable. I don't charge off a use port on a comp, always the wall charger.

Now, on stock 2.1, I could run the battery all the way down, connect the charger, and be back to full charge in max 1.5 hours. On 2.2, it takes more than twice that long. So I went thru the whole downgrade process (pain!) to get back to stock 2.1, ran that for a day and confirmed, charging on the wall charger gets about 1% a minute. Went back to 2.0 radio and second leaked 2.2 ota, and yeah, back to taking 2-3 mins to get a percent, about 3.5-4 hours to full charge.

So..... what gives? Anyone else noticing this? Can it be fixed via patch or something? Is it the radio, the new kernel, what?
[Droid Incredible General] :
its probably the new radio. i dont know how the radio directly affects battery life tho. it is not the kernel, because i am running cm6 and the problems have persisted on cm6 too. i have been experienceing these problems too

-jd
[Droid Incredible General] jdmba:
Radio

The radio could be the #2 drain on a battery (short of 100% on screen) ... if the radio is not getting the signal it wants, it hunts and hunts, and 1x draws incredible power from the battery vs 3G.

The buggy radio and buggy beta could easily be causing you trouble in your area, if they just don't play right with the signal you are getting. Hopefully when the non-beta radio comes out, things will change.
[Droid Incredible General] bast525:
Mind you, my battery life seems fine, no worse than stock anyways. It's just the charging time that has gotten dramatically worse.
[Droid Incredible General] sylent101:
Same..there's no reason my phone should be charging for close to 4 to 5 hours I don't know what's up with that
[Droid Incredible General] douger1957:
I may be all wet...but there is a battery file in your phone that I think gets wiped when you install a new ROM.

I do all of my charging at night, so I don't know how long it takes after wiping and installing ROMs. I do remember it taking about three hours to charge the battery the very first time I plugged it in.
[Droid Incredible General] bast525:
Doesn't explain why after I wiped and went back to 100% stock my charge time went back to taking no more than 90 mins...
[Droid Incredible General] sylent101:
Nah I flashed roms all the time on my Droid never took this long to charge. Even on my inc cyanogen 6 never took that long its definitely something about 2.2 roms or sky raider.
[Droid Incredible General] Dsoto87:
I have this problem on mine and made a thread on androidforums. After watching a few things I came to the conclusion its the cpu speed. It never throttles down below about 500-600 mhz. Open setCPU and don't touch anything. You'll see it won't drop to the 200s like its supposed to.

Someone came up with a work around by using setcpu. Create a profile for when the screen is off so that the max is 245 mhz. You'll find that your charge times will be a lot better.

Even though this works I would like to know why the phone is not throttling down at idle like its supposed to. Someone with more knowledge might have the answer.
[Droid Incredible General] bast525:
I had noticed that and posted a thread about it awhile back. I have a hard time believing that is the sole reason for tripping charge times though
[Droid Incredible General] mb02:
all the explanations posted so far would be a cause of battery DRAIN issues, which most people claim to see better overall battery life since jumping on 2.2 (myself included). none of these could explain why charge times would take twice as long. i myself have had better battery life on 2.2, but charge times are definitely in the 3-4 hour range as opposed to the 1.5 hours it was before. BUT, one theory is htc might have lowered the charge input from what it was before, meaning a slower charge time but preserving battery health and possibly increasing battery life. just a guess, chemistry majors correct me if im wrong lol.
[Droid Incredible General] gbenj:
If the phone isnt underclocking even when the screen is off, it would be using more power even while charging, which would explain the long charge times.

Proof of concept would be, if you try and charge while using bluetooth and gps in the car you may not lose charge, but it will not charge as quickly as if you are not using those things.

if the CPU use is high then the battery would not charge as quickly.

I'm still not so certain that the setcpu profle has solved my problem, still havent been conscious of it enough to be sure.
[Droid Incredible General] Dsoto87:
Common sense would tell you that if something is draining the battery, charge times would be higher...

Gbenj. Its definitely not a full fix for it since it requires the screen to be off but it has definitely cut down on my charge times. Its still no where near what it was for 2.1 but atleast I dont have to wait 4 hours for 10%.
[Droid Incredible General] mb02:
All understood, BUT, yesterday when using gps nav for a few hours and on the car charger, i was actually still LOSING battery. nothing else was on (bluetooth or wifi) no calls, no texts or anything. 2.1, i still gained charge while using gps on the car charger as well as having an overclocked kernel. so its definitely not a cpu issue considering peak processor speed has not been tampered with.
[Droid Incredible General] fezzik77:
Just a thought but perhaps the FROYO Rom that you flashed has a fix in it for the problem with charging. In otherwords perhaps it is actually charging the whole battery. I haven't paid any attention to mine as to whether it is taking longer. I usually just charge while I sleep and then while I am in the car and sometimes at my desk if I plan to plug in for something I will just leave it plugged so I get more use of higher drain features when I go home. I noticed though that if you bump charge as recommended, (pre-update) I only did it once and saw little to no improvement, it took for ever. After I charged it to green, I turned it off and charged it to green, unplugged it plugged it back charged to green, and repeated until it was green when I first plugged in. Now it seems to me that the problem is a software/system issue so it would be plausible that a software solution could be developed. I haven't tried since I updated and the ROM I am currently using gives me the same battery life I had before but now I can leave GPS on all the time something I couldn't even think about with Stock everything.

So I may be wrong but it may be that it is taking longer to charge because it is actually charging the chunk of battery that it hadn't been charging before. Just a thought and since I am pretty sure I don't have the same ROM you have I won't venture to test and post results but perhaps you could.
[Droid Incredible General] mb02:
bump charging is still required by anyone on 2.2 so its not charging any more of the battery than what it used to, just a lot slower.
[Droid Incredible General] bast525:
Agreed, it doesn't make bump charging any less required for "full" charge, also, this theory would mean we'd be getting significantly better battery life.... I most definitely was not.
[Droid Incredible General] sryan2k1:
It's possible they reduced the charger output to the battery to increase battery life/reduce heat while charging.
[Droid Incredible General] mb02:
if by battery life you mean overall battery health over time then yes, that is what i believe as well. also, these leaked froyo roms are all developmental, not final releases. im guessing that they may have tried a fix for battery issues but it didnt work out right in these roms so im hoping in the final release it will be truly fixed.
[Droid Incredible General] destovel:
has anyone noticed that the battery stops charging after a while? it almost seems like the system is stopping the charge because its running for so long. anyone seen anything like this?

[Android Themes] fonix232:
I was recently looking at these cool live wallpapers, and Starfield became my personal favorite. However, I would like to add some more functionality to it, like different coloring for random stars, etc.

Is the source code released somewhere, or should I do it from scratch?
[Android Themes] SaySayonara:
Hey!

I've been trying also to change also starfield apk, even decompiled it with apk tools, changed the background image, recompiled it, tried to install it but failed, then tried to copy it with root explorer, it copied it, but it dissapeared from the live wallpaper selector.. :(

did u manage to change anything?

my plan is to set a new background image that would look something like this with the right transparency..

hope u have some answers :D

meanwhile i placed a cool ufo icon with the help of Desktop Visualizer (no color press or reaction to touch) :)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h3nG:
bump...anyone gotten this to work on CM6? I hate how slow 3d gallery is.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcispcpro:
any HTC app is going revolve around sense and (more than likely) not going to work on a sense-less ROM. Trust me, I'd LOVE for that apk to work, because i LOATHE the 3dGallery.

I highly doubt cyanogen would even think about messing with trying to get it to work. if i knew more about sense and its framework, id dive right in and try to get it to work, but i know nothing about it.

theres another thread about this same thing here
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Psosmith82:
Wow, that 3d gallery works really well on the evo, installed it just fine on stock 2.2 The only one i have found so far that is smooth, and retains the 8mp camera functionality. Where did you find this from? I notice the icon is different too from the stock android and HTC gallery. Can you get the gallery from 2.2 to work this well on the evo?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fchipm:
Bumping this because I also can't stand the 3D gallery and was wondering if anyone had any luck getting HTC Gallery to work on CM6.

Or are there any other galleries? Can't seem to find anything in the Market. Someone should kick Google in the google for coming up with the crapass 3D gallery with blurry previews and slow performance :mad:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrDSL:
I use the one that is posted in here..I found it somewhere else but I have to go in with root explorer and delete the gallery3D.apk then flash the above .apk in a zip through recovery.

It at least loads faster and loads all my pics everytime..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fchipm:
Have you got a flashable zip of the gallery you're speaking of? I only see it in the thead as an apk. Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrDSL:
You can only flash this with clockwork because I dont know how to sign .zips.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fchipm:
Thanks sir. That gallery worked for me but looks and acts just like the 3D gallery on my phone (only difference I notice is that the icon is different and it doesn't work with the camera) so I went back to the CM6 default 3d gallery.

Still wish there was a simple 2D Sense-like gallery for CM6 :(
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fchipm:
Good news - thanks to androidforums I was able to find the old AOSP 2D gallery. I've installed it and it works great on my 2.2 evo with CM6.

The only thing that doesn't seem to work is the little thumbnail in the camera. When you touch it, nothing happens (after uninstalling the 3d gallery that is).

But, you can press menu on the camera then click gallery it works!

Anyone who wants a 2D gallery on CM6 I highly recommend this. Multi-touch pinch to zoom works on photos as well as swipe for next.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boas:

I have it set to check every 5 mins but then when i look it hasn't checked. also it doesn't download the full email so i have to spend ages waiting for it to get it before i can read it.

This happens with my gmail and hotmail account is there any settings or aps i can get to resolve this issue as my blackberry did this with no problem.

Automatic e-mail polling doesn't work reliably. For me it sometimes works ok for couple of days and then it stops working. I haven't found any resolution. Use some other e-mail program from the market. At least K9 works very well and without a problem. These Samsung's own programs are so full of defects.

Best thing that worked for me? ACTUALLY using their tutorial. Totally helped, and I've been loving Swype ever since. Amazing.
[Vibrant General] funeralthirst:
i use stock settings (except i turned off audio feedback cause it was annoying). i went through the tutorial. but the thing that helped me most getting used to swype was using it after a couple beers (not drunk, but just a little buzzed). it helped me try to go faster and see the how accurate you have to be while not trying to over think it. now swype is like second nature. once i got swype on my g1 i pretty much completely quit using the hard keyboard and haven't looked back since.

also, knowing how to use the correction feature is nice. like if it brings up the selection, and the word you want is the first choice, you can just start typing the next word and that one is automatically chosen. and after about a week or two you should have most of the words not in the swype dictionary added in which makes it quicker and easier.
[Vibrant General] caldjeff:
I'm using stock settings also. It has just worked really well right out of the box. My iPhone buddies at work are soooo jealous.

What helped me the most was the tips and tricks short videos on the swype website. I highly recommend watching them. I learned a lot of good tricks there:

I am using SPB Wireless Monitor and I am happy with it. Just that when I have to make a hard reset I loose all its data up to now.:(

Does anyone know how to keep it (the data logs)? Where does the SPB wireless monitor store its data and is it possible to save it somehow before a hard reset and import it back again after this, so that all the traffic meters are up to date with the current values?
[EVO 4G Accessories] VW91N3:
After years of holding out, I've entered the smartphone world with the Evo 4G. With one swoop, my pocket camera, TomTom, Magellan, and I'm still finding out what else have been essentially obsoleted. Of course, all this screen-tickling calls for more than the stock battery, but I don't really want to run my new toy without a case, and figuring out the best way to knife an Amzer wrapper is a bit iffy.

I'm asking you rapid-prototypers to come up with stuff. TPU would be nice, I'm not keen on the clamshell designs I've seen, and a bit of thickness and ribbing would be appreciated.

I'm a bit surprised they aren't already all over eBay.

[Android Software Development] ozguy:
Have a Citroen Bluetooth car radio (Blaupunkt) and was using that with a WM6 device. Lots of problems until I loaded Jetware which made it rock solid. Dumped the WM phone - now using a Android HTC (Desire).

Very unreliable bluetooth on Eclair - never solid and directory (phonebook) always an issue. Just switched to Froyo (Leedroid) hoping it would fix the issue. No such luck - most of time connects (pairing works fine) but as soon as I allow access from the car radio to the phone (to read phonebook) things go south.

Was wondering if I'm alone in this or if there is a fix for it. Ideal would be to have Jetware on Android - one great feature it has is that it can limit the phonebook transfer to a specific category - which is much more usefull then pushing the entire 500+ entries to the car.

Any help appriciated.

thnx

Exactly the same problems with wildfire/2.1. Was hoping 2.2 would fix it! SORRY TO HEAR otherwise.

After you zoom Opera would try to snap on to a text column automatically. I really don’t like this, but couldn’t find a way to disable it. I think it might have something to do with text column wrapping to match the width of the screen for better and easier reading.
