[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] alexnaoumi:
when i once tried the non flashable zip, it worked great..but now when i did the flashable one (i deleted the old one first) i dont get the Droid X boot animation. i get the word android but with the small cm logo as an "O", im cool with having that tho :)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ersocia:
Droid X bootscreen (updated for CM6.2.0 and maybe other 2.2 roms)

well, i really REALLY wanted this bootscreen on my hero, running CM6.2.0, so i did just that. let me tell you, since this is pretty much my first foray into modding ANY part of my hero on my own, it took a LOT of trial and error, and i stayed up LITERALLY all night long trying to solve this puzzle, but i finally got it working about 2 minutes ago. :D

i'm attaching the updated bootanimation.zip in this post for anyone running a Froyo rom that wants this.

to install:

NOTE: this was only tested on my hero running CM6.2.0, but i'm guessing/hoping it will work on any other 2.2 rom. let me know if this does/doesn't work for you.

SIDE NOTE: i am not responsible for any damage this may cause. that being said, i simply don't see it actually causing any at all.

ENJOY! :D
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ohbuckeyeman:
Thanks for the .zip...worked without any effort! Did not have to use adb, just used ES File Explorer with the root options to place it in the correct folder.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uniquenameevo:
For those who are getting lit up with 4G, did you see a plummet in 3G speeds prior to launch?

The reason I ask is that I had a massive drop in service with my t-mo phone the two weeks prior to them turning up HSPA+, then like magic all was good. I have 4G less than 10 miles from me, and the three towers by my house are now pathetically slow for data.

I am hoping there is a correlation :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uniquenameevo:
Gonna go for one bump and I will drop this.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Genjinaro:
Admittedley yes, my 3G speeds went from 900KBps-1MBps to 300KBps-400KBps.

4G seems to be getting faster though.
[Captivate General] jhannaman82:
Just wanted everyone to be aware that in conjuction with the GPS firmware issue, and the wifi driver problem, the compass also does not work correctly.

Download Google skymap from the market and you can see how bad it is.

What the hell is up with Samsung's QC? Do they not test these things?

Someone please confirm that its not just my device on this one. :(
[Captivate General] RootPhisher:
What WiFi driver issue? I don't seem to have any issues running mine over WiFi.
[Captivate General] jhannaman82:
There is a confirmed wifi problem on enterprise networks using DHCP regardless of encryption that effects all captivates.

Specifically, Cisco APs.
[Captivate General] mkoby:
I too have noticed that the compass doesn't seem to work right. I haven't tried Google Skymaps but I did try the Compass app that's in the market and even after doing the calibration, it seems to be WAY off.
[Captivate General] jwkicklighter:
Downloaded a free compass app. Worked perfectly for me (GPS turned off, standing still.)

Sent from my Samsung Captivate.
[Captivate General] BigJayDogg3:
It works, but it isn't accurate. I know where north is at my house. My compass is at least about twenty degrees off.

My brothers aria is off as well, but is far more accurate than my Captivate.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
You need to perform the calibration (rotate the phone in a figure 8 pattern for couple cycles) everytime you use the compass app. After that, it will be accurate. But google skymap is a different issue.
[Captivate General] GordianZ:
I did calibration every single time, and the compass is still off at least 15 degrees.

And if you rotate it slowly enough, the reading might not change at all.
[Captivate General] jwkicklighter:
Mine seems to be pretty accurate (i also know which way if North...)

i would like yo know how do you put the weather animation int your homescreen thanks in advance.:confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] gotvet:
I too, would like to know...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
What version of Manila? If you are on TouchFLO 3D, it doesn't have it. Sense 2.5 has it, not sure about older versions of Sense.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] gotvet:
I have the stock AT&T ROM that came with my Tilt 2. I am unsure of the Manila version and do not know how to determine the version. On my last phone (Fuze) I installed a total of three different ROMs (all TAEL ROMs), and I believe only one of them included Sense. The other two were standard versions. In all three ROMs, the World Clock screen included "My Location" , and in all three, the weather was present under the flip clock and animated on the home screen. I just assumed it was something that TAEL had added until I saw a screen shot of a Verizon phone that included it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Doo Doo:
if you have stock at&t rom that came with your tilt 2 then you have touchflo 3d which doesn't have weather animation
[Vibrant General] Jas750:
Hey all, I'm lost on this, maybe I cannot find the feature.

How do you schedule syncing? I can go into settings-accounts & sync, but I don't see anyway to set it up to lets say automatically sync ever hour or every 2 hours.

I'll use my gmail accounts as an example. How can I get them to sync on a schedule, not when the phone itself wants to sync them. Thanks!
[Vibrant General] kizer:
Yeah I think I'm a moron becasue I coudn't find the sync buttons anywhere. In my G1 it was pretty easy to find, but not on this phone.
[Vibrant General] kolyan:
Think button is in accounts, scheduling does not exist here. I think this feature is in droid x
[Vibrant General] webbo11:
If you go to accounts and do a long touch on your selected account the settings for it will appear. Within this you can change the frequency that your email syncs.
[Vibrant General] dq13:
Gmail syncs automatically and its push, that means as soon as you get an email the phone will download it, there is no time to set.

the other accounts (via email app) you can just press the menu button and go to settings when you are in the account and tell it how often you want it to check (5, 10, 15 mintues, etc)
[Vibrant General] ultra spikey:
Im pretty sure Gmail does not have "push". Unless they changed it in TouchWiz, Gmail never had push notifications. I use "Tasker" to schedule my syncing every morning at 4am.
[Vibrant General] dq13:
I am not sure how long it's been, but it's been a while. I had a blackberry and HD2 and if you use their Gmail app instead of the email app native from the phone, it will be push and that is why there is no setting where you can change how frequent you want it to check. I can send myself an email from my work to my gmail and my phone will alert me whithin 5 seconds no matter how often I send the email... so it is push
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] iamshaked:
I cannot seem to find a plain white taskbar.

The ones I do see, look horrible, but I think it has to do with the icons that are with them.

Is there just like a NexusOne (this uses white taskbar?) Taskbar with regular icons somewhere?

recently Toyota has released a free cute little app aimed at reducing fuel consumption (http://itunes.apple.com/se/app/a-glass-of-water/id376721035?mt=8), but unfortunately they targeted only iPhone users..

Is there a similar app for Android?

Hello all

I just purchased a HD2 about 2 weeks ago. I am wondering if there are HTC widgets that I can download to customize my UI like you see on Android? Please forgive me if this is a newbie question.

Thanks

MacKenzie
[HD2 General] jkolner:
You could try Co0kie's Home Tab.
[HD2 General] mackenziemi:
Thank you that is just what I was looking for
[HD2 General] joe_coolish:
Hello all :)

So, I'm building some apps for my HD2 and so I am plugging the phone into the compy quite a bit. I've always thought that the "Battery Memory" issue of not charging the battery to 100% and only charging the battery when it was low was an old wives tail (a myth) but now I'm noticing that 6:00 PM rolls around and I have like 15% batt?! I have flash ROMs and Radios since then, but still... this seems pretty dramatic.

Have I messed up my battery by doing this or am I just seeing things?

p.s. I have gone back to 2.12 Radio, and I think that radio had the best battery life for me. Hopefully this fixes things....

p.s.s. Yes, I know I can not charge when hooked the computer. I just figured it wouldn't hurt anything if I charged.
[Android Software Development] kogaht:
I know there are programs such as taskiller etc. to kill apps.

But is there any ways or settings which could allow you to choose whether to multitask the program or to close.

If you guys are familiar with iphone, then apps like backgrounder.

thanks!
[Android Software Development] fable13:

[Android Software Development] Synestr:
Meh the OS does what it does. It closes what needs to be closed after a period of time and leaves running what it thinks will be needed from what I understand. ((PrawnPoBoy wrote: Most apps that are in the background aren't running, they are sleeping and not using any CPU. For continued background activity the app would have to implement a service, which would be pointless for most apps.)) Now that is just one opinion and there are alot of posts out there about to task kill or not to task kill. Some real indepth reasons not to and vice versa. I thinks it user preference. I have noticed apps are now including the option to exit to have it shut down but not all.

Prolly didn't help much but my .02

[HD Mini General] mh297:
Can anyone else see evidence of the screen separating from the chassis?

Mine is parting in the bottom left corner of the phone and the screen is starting to sit proud; see attached photos. As the glass is flat and I doubt it bends, the chassis/internals must have some residual stress from manufacture. It can be pushed back together but opens up again after a few seconds.

I'm awaiting advise from the seller (Elcell.co.uk)

Thanks for pointing this out. I had my glass slightly lifted since i got this replacement unit. I thought it was just a slight misfit into the backcover. Now that you pointed this out, i notice the same peeling off on the bottom part of the glass. I press it down, and the phone got a solid feel.

Although it lifts up again after a while. The adhesive is not so strong.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjsph88:
Are there any FULL AOSP (no sense at all) ROMs other than CM6 RC1? I cant stand sense and have been looking all over for a AOSP rom with working 4G and 8mp camera.

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stillryan:
I could be wrong, but i think they are waiting on the kernal for the 4G. I think i read that somewhere, but like i said, i could be wrong. Wouldn't be the first time.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timtlm:
CM6 has 8mp camera working. Has been since day 1. If you think it's not because it doesn't fill up the whole screen, you are mistaken. By default HTC sets it to widescreen, but at that ratio it is actually losing resolution. People need to turn the widescreen off to get the full 8mp. The 6mp (wide) setting in CM6 is comparable to the default stock HTC setting.

EDIT: and no, there isn't any other true AOSP roms besides CM6.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timtlm:
More specifically, it is the absolute base of the Android operating system. It is where all the phone developers start, but then they weave in a bunch of their own custom software. I think the phone manufaturers want to differentiate each other and give them more of a brand (i.e. Sense). It's all fine and dandy, but some people just like to have the true base of the Android system and then choose what apps they clutter it up with instead of it being cluttered up to begin with.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fldash:
Awesome, thanks for the explanation. AOSP sounds EXACTLY like what I'm looking for as I want to build my own android from the ground up...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjsph88:
Cyanogen is waiting on the kernel for 4G? There are plenty of custom froyo roms with root access and working 4G but none that dont have sense. Am I really the only one who hates sense? I cant believe that every custom froyo rom has sense!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clamknuckle:
Just download any rom, and run ADW instead. The only thing you're losing is the space on your phone that sense takes up, big deal.

ADW is the launcher used in CM, so if you liked that, you can have your stock froyo and 4g.

Also, it's your phone, and that's why we are here, to make our phones look and perform how we want, but what is it about sense that you hate? I personally think it brings a more human feel to Android. I ran with CM6 for like 5 days, and while it's a great ROM, I just missed the things sense gives you. I actually got better benchmarks on DC 3.5 than CM6 too, even though there is no actual noticible difference between the two performance wise.

A lot of people say that Sense isn't needed since 2.2, but I disagree, it's not just about the functionality, it's about the form too. Sense just plain looks better. It give the phone a more polished feel. Stock android is very Spartan, very cold. Some people like that I guess.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vladthedog:
I for one don't like the forced integration of things like facebook in sense. I run a very spartan (to use your terminology) setup... I like clean... Same with my desktop pc. I don't like desktop icons either :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DraginMagik:
the HTC 4G stack is propriartary. CM is AOSP.

Clearwire released their 4G implementation a few weeks ago. someone is actively working to get it working on the EVO.

we are impatiently waiting for 4G. only ROM's that are Sense based currently have 4G. AOSP will not. perhaps this week :)

and no...you are FAR from the only one that is happy to be rid of HTC Sense.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phillycreamboy:
What about getting the stock Froyo keyboard? How do we get that on a sense rom?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laydros:
Some people made 2.1 roms that were sense, but had most of the AOSP apps swapped in and sense replacements removed.

There are a couple kinda like that for 2.2, Android Central has a stripped rom, and FroYo fusion has a senseless version, but I haven't used it or even seen screenshots, so I don't know what it is like.

Avalaunch started on an AOSP 2.1 build, but he kinda scrapped it for his custom Sense stuff.

Right now the CM team is implementing everything from scratch, which is why some things don't work like 4G, and HDMI. No other phones had this before. The reason all the Sense Roms work is because the sense framework has all the parts that are needed.

One nice thing about CM is if you don't install gapps, you can get the source code to every bit of the OS running on your phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaokollaa:
with sense you cant use wii controller

htc limit the capacities of you device i dont know why!!

-limit performance

-limit graphics

-limit bluetooth

limit limit limit!!!

the only thing missing on cm6 is 4g with that it will be perfect
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Antebios:
Exchange support is missing from CM 6 also.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laydros:
lulz.....

Yeah, don't get me wrong, I find it frustrating, but they do it because their target audience isn't people like you and me. They use a custom bluetooth stack so they have control over it, it is easier for them to make sure that everyone's expensive headset and car stereo work. They limit performance and graphics to get better battery life and stability. They created Sense to make the interface more appealing to people who would otherwise be turned off by AOSP and buy an iPhone instead (even though Android is WAY better for social networking integration).

I'm kinda bummed we haven't been able to just grab N1 roms and hack them over more often. It's kinda strange. The Aria (Liberty) had an AOSP Legend port within weeks of release. Here we are 2 full months out and we have ROMs based off HTC's work, and CM. That's it.

Also FM Radio, HDMI output, updating PRL.

Not complaining about the team douche work, but more that we don't have other devs working on AOSP. I don't care much about the missing features, and run CM as my daily. Sometimes I'll flash to a sense ROM to get 4G for tethering to my PC, but this is rare, and nandroid makes it very quick to flash back and forth when needed.

Actually... I thought Exchange support was there but just having issues for some (possibly many) people.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DraginMagik:
this is totally wrong. I live on Exchange daily for work. if CM6 were not able to get my exchange email or notify me properly I would be using it. I have been on CM6 since RC1 second day and most of the nightly builds since.

please check your resources before posting such statements.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjsph88:
Youre right about ADW.. I already downloaded that launcher. However, I like the custom themes that come with the non sense ROMs. Such as CM6's music player, or the window pane (if you will) theme for the camera, etc. If you dont know how to program, which i dont, you are somewhat limited with what you can do in terms of customization.

This sounds like GREAT news to me. I hope youre correct. I think im just gonna go back to CM6 for now. It was a great rom and I can only use 4G at work so its not that big of a deal to me. The only other issue I had with CM6 was the inability to split a >160 character text message into two messages.

Can anyone remind me if the 8mp camera was working? I cant remember which kernel cm6 used.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twilk73:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neodorian:
Forgive me if I over-simplify or get something wrong but essentially AOSP is just sort of a "base" Android OS. It's the open source OS that phone manufacturers and carriers can get hold of and build upon. For example, HTC will take the base AOSP OS, then create drivers for things like their screen, their camera, their radios, etc. AOSP by default doesn't have all of these things. They also integrate their shell which gives you things like Exchange support, integration with other services like Facebook, and other widgets and interface elements which are the cause of many love/hate discussions on forums like these.

The base OS is open source and free to distribute but all of the things like drivers and other integration that is developed by HTC or Samsung or whoever are not. When someone like Cyanogen talks about putting out a purely open source ROM, that means he is not going to use anything proprietary created by HTC. This is more than just the look of Sense. It includes any code that HTC developed for their Evo hardware. In order to build a "fully functional" ROM based entirely off open source code, someone essentially has to take the AOSP Android OS and then write their own open source code to support stuff like cameras, Wimax radios, etc. They are basically doing the same thing that companies like HTC do when they customize the OS for their devices. The only difference is that they are doing it without access to all of the info that HTC has and without a team of paid programmers working on getting the phone up and running.

This is why it is easier to take an HTC ROM with all of their stuff baked in and then tweak it to add or remove things.
