[Vibrant General] PathogenX:
Yea, I couldn't stand it either. Way too colorful for my tastes.
[Vibrant General] kizer:
Just remove all the widgets from your home screens. Instant fix. At least it was for me.
[Vibrant General] androidmonkey:
Wow. Iv been an Anrdroid user since the G1 first came out and after looking at those pics vanilla Android looks so Win95ish and TouchWiz is Windows 7ish.

To each his own I guess...
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
Yeah, the TW overlay is severely undervalued
[Vibrant General] androidmonkey:
Yea, I dont get the hate....
[Vibrant General] Jon C:
The only thing that is really overly slow, is the cold boot-up process (media scanning, especially). Other than that, I find TouchWiz to be my favorite of all Android skins. There is a noticeable lag when launching an app for the first time (two seconds or so), but I'm willing to deal with that, even if there is room for improvement.

Not having some of the TouchWiz customizations is what keeps me from jumping to another Android phone. I couldn't live without these iPhone-like Calendar and Clock apps.

But you think TouchWiz is bad? Christ, go try scrolling around the home screens of the Droid X or the EVO. Those phones feel so antiquated, to me. Though, I'd like to see if 2.2 makes them usable...

In other news: GPS and Compass are still completely broken, with no word from Samsung. :(
[Vibrant General] eugene373:
not hate :rolleyes: tw lags like a ***** is all.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
Really? I thought that had more to do with the I/O performance. Stock Android is going to be snappier for sure but there is no reason why the Vibrant can't handle TouchWiz, which a good portion of is just different colors. My eyes are bleeding after looking at stock Android on the Vibrant. I know some prefer it but I can't tell you how many people think TW is just the "iPhone launcher"
[Vibrant General] eugene373:
simply put, if you don't like it, don't use it when we release it...
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
That's not what I was saying at all, and I won't. Simply put.
[Vibrant General] PathogenX:
I'm sure most people wouldn't mind it if it wasn't so damn colorful and a blatant copy of iOS. Besides the vibrant already looks very similar to an iPhone no need in making it look like you are using a knockoff.

To be fair TW has some very nice additions but at a price of ugly.
[Vibrant General] eugene373:
Wow, I thought having a verity would be nice... If you up tight, please don't use anything I post.. There is no point in being high and mighty...

Some don't like tw, some do... Some like plain jane.. I like both so I don't care, but have source we can work from? Well, we'll never have tw source so be grateful anyone is working on stuff from source. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
I'm being high and mighty? Like I already said, you got the wrong impression from what I said a few posts back. I know some people like stock Android. TW being "laggy" is a shocker because once a lag fix is in place people can't stop talking about the speed of the Vibrant. There is something else behind the scenes of the TW theme/overlay that is causing lag. It's not the blue iPhone theme
[Vibrant General] kizer:
I personally like the TW interface. Not because its kinda iPhonish, but I really like the fact when you swipe in the apps it snaps to the next screen and doesn't scroll forever like the stock android one did. It just gives the phone some polish.

For me a Rom build isn't how fast can I push the phone its how fast/stable can I push the phone and have a nice interface. I'm not saying adding some of the other launchers is a bad idea either, but it would IMHO be really nice to keep the TW for some that would like it and spruce up the phone like we have been doing since the G1 days.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] faizalr:
Last night I try One Click Lag fix made by RyanZa, it seems that it didn't work as I found in the windows that permission denied and after check from Quardant Standard, it still 889, I have used Busybox 1.17.1.

And then I tried the solution made by Tayutama http://xdaforums.com/show...&postcount=417

I manage to have the new app MCR Scrips in my app list and click LagFix1024.sh. There is a note ..... wait for long time....., during this process, my screen keep going to be blank screen... and suddenly it is blank, even I have tried to soft reset, it is still blank, just appear the samsung logo, samsung sound and then no screen but blank.

I am panic then and got the idea to flash it, Hold down down+powerbutton+Menubutton, it can go to download mode and can flash to I9000DXJG4 until complete but can not boot.....

The device still look like in shut down.

I plug off the cable and then Hold down up+powerbutton+Menubutton try to reboot, samsung logo and after that sound and than keep in blank screen......

Please help .... please .. please... I don't have any idea what should be done next....

Thanks a lots before

I Need the Stock Rom Unrooted w/out Superuser.apk and Busybox

I have looked all afternoon and just can not find it. Yes I know I should have made a nandroid backup, but I figured out what that was almost immediately after I rooted (yeah I know, my bad).

Somebody please help me out here :)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beowulf_pt:
Oh come on guys... I was pretty much dediced to dump my Galaxy S for the Desire because of need of a functional GPS... but I want the mobile device to have good audio quality with audiophile headphones (mostly low-impedance IEMs) and have heard some users say that the Desire has an audible hiss.

So no black, dark, flat silence and great sound? The Galaxy S has pretty amazing sound quality on the 3.5mm except if you use high impedance gear that really need and extra amp... but with more gentle stuff like Mylars, RE0 or Koss PortaPros it sings amazingly.

Can anyone confirm this?

I am now reduced to two options

1) Return my SGS and get a Desire + a good audio player

2) Keep my SGS and get a dedicated GPS unit

*sigh*
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doubleperfect:
I find there is hiss on my desire when paired with low impedance IEMs (UE11). It's fine with higher impedance phones like RE2 and KSC75s, but bear in mind, I usually listen at low volumes.

If you're looking for a good audio player that works well with low impedance IEMs, I can recommend the Sansa Fuze and Sansa Clip from personal experience.

Hope that helps
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Suntar:
I just rooted my phone the other day and of course the night I go out and leave the phone at home the g/f has to use my phone. Well it said OTA and she thought it was something I didn't finish and, yup u guessed it she gave me the update. I lost root as you know and now is there any way for me to get root back at this point?. I have a HTC Espresso 3g slide with T-Mobile and any help would be appreciated a lot. I was all set to do my ROM today and now this. Go Figure...
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Armyjon88:
Not At this time no.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] ilostchild:
i forgot where i read this, but i read in theory that the Droid X method to root should work on any previous android phones, jus needs to be changed for the phone..

This method i did use for my N1 and it worked great! some one was able to make it work for the n1 hopefully some can do the same for the Slide
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Armyjon88:
I looked into this method and yes it should work I have the files and ill upload them and post them in a new thread and see if we can get it to work.

I works off of some exploit in the working android system to trick the device into trusting the su and superuser.apk and busybox as android systems files and installing them, has to do with bluetooth and wifi exploit it least that's what I understood
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Ace42:
I really need this too, since i updated.:(
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Suntar:
Ace I have a quick question if I may. Since I didn't RoM my phone before it was updated I was curious if you just lost root or did it put you back to stock 2.1 - update1? I am new to this and any place I can learn a few things I try to. We all had to start someplace :D
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Ace42:
It was already on stock firmware, i manually updated my phone since i was having trouble rooting it. It wouldnt say offline in rec mode, but i tried it after the update with a new sd card and it says offline now...But it doesnt matter since root is blocked anyway..
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Suntar:
Well I have been looking everywhere looking for a fix for this and it seems right now that you and I are the only ones that this has happened too. I'm sure there are others. Just for a lack of something to do I have been trying all sorts of things but nothing has worked so far. If I find a fix I will post it here to help out of course. Sooner or later someone will come up with one since all the phones being sold now or people that haven't rooted yet will need new root.zip files I would think.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] ilostchild:
YUP this method would be great!, but to let you know this method does not fully install BusyBOX! learned this yesterday lol

when your in terminal or adb shell and do "cp" cmd it will give you not found.. but i found this script to fully install it after root

http://zedomax.com/blog/2010/07/07/android-hack-how-to-install-busybox-on-your-android/

if you wanted to do a "cp cmd" you would have to do "busybox cp"

[Droid Incredible General] HeyItsLou:
I've read various posts about people complaining about the new Linpack update taking much more time to calculate scores. Not sure if Linpack has been updated to read Froyo with more precision or there's something weird going on but I had scores as high as 41mflops and post update can't get above 35.
[Droid Incredible General] HeyItsLou:
ha ha plain and simple I like your style lol looks like I'll be reverting back to the previous version.
[Droid Incredible General] jdmba:

I suspect they had to redo their scale/marks to allow for the Droid X which is wiping the floor with everyone.
[Droid Incredible General] HeyItsLou:
i can email the apk for the old linpack if you're interested send me a PM
[Droid Incredible General] xFlawless11x:
Directly from the Linpack website.

I honestly think it's better now because it's more accurate across the board. Running a test 4-10 times the results are a lot closer now, whereas before they varied by almost 10 points.

Just my 2c
[Droid Incredible General] DeeBG:
That makes sense, you always get a better/most accurate result with larger sample data. Thanks for taking the time to look this up and post it (although I'm still slightly depressed by the fact that the DInc isn't top dog anymore, hehe it works for what I need it for though and then some... Android phone tech is moving so quickly!).

Agreed, that's why I used the word "isn't" =p. I think you're eyes might need a rest jd, too much ADB and posting via XDA Forum App makes Jack a blind boy!

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] West277:
Hey XDA,

I know theres many threads on unlocking the Desire.

But none seem to have my combanation of it being on Orange and sucessfully running an unbranded Froyo 2.2 android (Non-Rooted).

At the moment im stuck with orange and wish to be with o2 because simply orange cant beat my pay as you go tariff on o2.

By the looks of it the T-Mobile Desire is easier to unlock, which annoys me.

I've tried using thephoneunlockers which was awful and took me a long battle to get my money back. I have emailed HTCCode but have ad no reply.

I did have a Rebel Sim on its way but after hearing how it damages your battery and hardware I soon emailed them asking for my money back.

Also lurking on the internet there is a rumor saying unlocking an Orange Desire on the debranded Froyo 2.2 will kill its wifi, and if you ask me a phone without a wifi is like a phone without a screen :P useless.

So please tell me what to do XDA im sick to death of finding dead ends and having emails from unlockers saying my IMEI and Operator combination cannot be found.

Will I have to stick to the Orange network? or has anyone been in my situation and come out with a glorious Unlocked & Unbranded HTC Desire :O

EDIT: Sorry To The Admins If I Put This Thread In The Wrong Place!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k.aalai:
Dont want to be seen to be stating the obvious, or if you have tried already, but you do know that you can buy an unlock code from orange directly? for about 20 quid or so. They have to sell/give it to you by law after a certain period, so dont let them fob you off, and its got nothign to do with terminating the contract etc. You call them, ask for it, pay, and they HAVE to give it to you.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phongthan999:
so annoying that music player put mp3 ringstone on playerlist and playing them with other mp3 songs. even though, I put mp3 ringstone in ringstone folder.

is there away to fix that?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinhyeudamat:
Which Music player are you using ?

All mobile media player do the same thing. You shuold create a playlist for all your MP3songs (without your MP3 Ringtones) and save that play list. next time just simply play that play list. for WM Mobile when you cold start the app ( the app is not already running in the background of your system "check your task manager") there aren't songs on the playlist. From here your can create your playlist at this time, then play them.

Hope that cuold help you.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archange1:
There's no real solution to this.

Some will suggest changing the properties of any music file you don't want to appear in the sense music player list to 'hidden', but that also means it wont be seen by other apps (I hid my ringtones and they no longer appeared in the list of chooseable ringtones when setting a ringtone).

The best solution I came up with was re-tagging my mp3 ringtones as artist 'ringtone' and album 'ringtone', so at least they were confined to one artist/album.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phongthan999:

start doing playlist now.

how to hide your ringtones?

You should have it do the moonwalk and the hammer dance.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] wrx4memp:
i can make him do the moonwalk... but what the hell is the hammer dance...

as i said lots and lots of times... i have no skills with audio... so audio everyone is to each their own... you find a track you like and cut it and use it...

i wouldn't know how...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ChiTwnPaparazzi:
The Hammer Dance I guess they referring to would be dancing done by MC Hammer... Look up songs like "Can't Touch This" or "2 Legit 2 Quit" on youtube. Any of his songs you really would see how he danced.

But get this to going. I wanna know how its gonna look and I will cut a badass song to it... just let me see how you gonna make him dance and the length.

So I made it into a bootanimation, it just plays at hyper speed. I will fix this and post it later today or tomorrow. Any requests or suggestions for the boot up sound?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Mr Ian B:
Looking at the animation as is, the beginning of "Bad"by Michael Jackson or a section from Thriller may do the trick. If you do moonwalk dance, then Billie Jean would be the song. Another song may be "Someone is watching me "by Rockwell. Just my 2cents but, can't wait for it.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jblazea50:
Is there any way you can change the background from white to black? Looking forward to the bootanimation.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] faster3200:
Too many song suggestions :p. I just went with Bad since that is the only one I actually remember.

To use your own song just get whatever .mp3 you want to use, rename it to SPC_animation_final.mp3 and push it to /system/customize/resource/.

Yes, but it would be very time consuming since I don't have the source files. It would be much easier for the OP to simply make one with a black bg.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ChiTwnPaparazzi:
Lmao! You are the man!

Question though... Upon downloading and pushing the bootanimation.zip to the /system/customize/resource

it was successful, but upon loading the boot screen it was blank up until the phone loaded... Now after I navigated my way through your zip I pulled the boot animation and the sound from the resource folder of your zip and booted those and it worked.

Did I do something wrong by adb pushing it to that folder... if so how am I suppose to do it. And also sometimes upon booting it get stuck on the bootscreen in a constant loop. Maybe I did something wrong... thanks in advance.

Oooo And also here is the song I am using with your bootscreen... and is it any way the background could either extend with full window white... or make all black background.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Reaper333:
I flashed the zip through recovery and it works great. It runs a little long. The audio continues when the screen turns off. When I turn the screen back on to the lock screen the audio stops. I dont know if the mp3 was just a little bit too long. But, Im gonna play with it and see what I can do. Thanks a bunch for changing it into a boot animation.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] faster3200:
IDK off the top of my head. Pushing shouldn't matter, I do that before I throw it an update.zip, for testing purposes. Let me look at it in a sec.

Odd, I can't replicate your problem. The music shuts off as soon as I hit the lockscreen, unless you are talking about his version.

This is meant to be more of a quick version or a template for anyone who wants to take the boot animation seriously.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] wrx4memp:
10 chars... ... ... or more...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] faster3200:
Oh wow, I totally misunderstood you post. The .zip file is supposed to be flashed in recovery, but pushing the file works so long as it goes to the right place.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] goodelyfe:
do we need root to be able to change our boot animations and the like?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ChiTwnPaparazzi:
YES Root makes it possible to customize your phone. You cant modify any system files without it. Check out forum posts and such on how to do that. Kinda simple I used Unrevoked!

I just flashed his file and then pushed my own mp3 but works either way
