[Droid 2 General] karnovaran:
With Android, you can modify software to the point that most high-end phones are virtually interchangeable. Blur sucks out of the box, but every day we find ways to make the Droid 2 snappier, have better battery, and more customized.

So the real choice is hardware - do you want the keyboard or not? Personally I love the rock solid build of the Droid 2 and tighter, staggered keyboard as compared to the Epic. If you have no need for the keyboard, get something else. It's all Android at the end of the day.
[Droid 2 General] jcsugrue:
I purchased an HTC Eris in November, because I liked it a lot better than the Droid. Unfortunately, because it wasn't Verizon's flagship phone, it was plagued with bugs that they had no intention of fixing. After four replacements, Verizon upgraded me to a Droid. I could deal with the fact that it was a brick, decorated in cheap gold paint, after rooting and installing Sapphire 1.0 with the 1.2Ghz kernel. Then after two months, the keys started to fall off of the keyboard. So last week I called Verizon to try getting a Droid 2, they offered me one for retail price, but there was no way in hell I was going to pay that. After agreeing on a replacement Droid, FedEx brought me a shiny new Droid 2 two days later with an apology letter saying they were out of stock. Obviously, I was outraged by this "inconvenience" so I called Verizon to complain, and ended up with a $50 credit. :D

Not a bad deal. I just wish I didn't have problems with reception on the D2. :D
[Droid 2 General] chetmichaels:
i havent had any call reception problems on droid2, but late at night (im an insomniac) and i'm jacking with the phone, i do seem to lose 3g here and there. which is weird, because ithappens only after 1am...

never happened with my old touch pro, but it does happen with the wifes droid x...

perhaps vzw is tweaking the towers i hope, getting ready for upgrades? *crosses fingers*
[Droid 2 General] syraz:
First off I usually go by Azilla on droidforums & IRC, but it was taken on here it said which is odd since Its my made up name for years unless I forgot I signed up.

In April I got the Droid, wife got the Incredible. I wanted physical keyboard she didnt. After couple weeks of reading up and finding droid forums I figured out rooting and loved that guy with Sapphire on it I was just one happy camper, though was dealing with a loose screen since I got it, after 4 months I was annoyed way to much to put up with it and called Verizon and they sent me a like new device, which screen was looser then the first one plus screen didnt respond to touch. Called Verizon again they said take it to store for them to verify. Store was busy so took awhile, played with the X and Droid 2, test the floor Droid and that guy didn't even have a loose screen. Tech at verizon held it for 5 seconds and was like yeup we are replacing this. I asked him will it be a Droid, because well I didn't want anything else I loved that phone. He said yes would be another refurbished but any problems come see him directly. since it was Weds after 5pm he said wouldn't get to my place til Monday no biggy. Come Monday afternoon when I woke up, I work graveyard, I see the box sitting on table, crossing fingers it worked correctly. Picked up the box and was like hmmm this feels odd compared to last one they sent me. Opened it up and literally said "Holy S***" I wasn't expecting a droid 2 and low and behold thats what I was sent, along with letter stating due to Droids being out of stock they issued me a free upgrade to the D2, along with instructions to send back the original droid with no battery no sd card. Which is how I sent it, put the 16gb card in the d2 cause well its bigger rather have 24gb then 16gb.. Its been a week now. I really like about everything on this phone, though I have to wait for Tanzanite *Sapphires D2 verision* phone has great look feel, got battery life to great point. and I really like that blur launcher/dock.

Still wish I had droid and have the rom I love and and that.. but soon, and this runs really fast and nice.

and there I wrote a story as the thread asked :)
[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
I came from Alltel because Verizon took over in my area. I liked Alltel's rates and lack of "we're-gonna-nickel-and-dime-you" attitude that Verizon has. (I used to dongle my phone to my laptop for internet for free (without hacks)) I had a pretty dumb smartphone, the Samsung Delve. I liked it at first, it was my first non-feature phone and my first touchscreen. After a few months the texting was so laggy I would type and the text would come on the screen after I finished. The browsing was slow my gf used it to check facebook a few times and I would look up quick things but it wasn't worth much.

Now I have a Droid 2 and for the same exact plan (+ $299-$100rebate) I have amazing web, Android and I'm hacking my phone which I've tried to do since I got my first cellphone an Audiovox 8910. I got my friends free WAP in highschool before they (cell companies) blocked the work around. I'm having a blast modding my phone and exploring all that Android has to offer. I can honestly say if I don't pass a class this session it's because of the time spent playing with my Droid 2.

(p.s. I'm thinking about taking my moms Droid (she got the D1 when I got my Delve) and putting a ROM on it just for practice, I wonder what she'll think of it.)

[HD Mini General] SDBoss:
I have Activesync up and running nicely, meet all the criteria in the readme file along with the ROM update, however my 1.32 won't upgrade to 1.36 because of error 202 and 224. Any suggestions?

I have not yet tried another computer, would that be the way to go?
[HD Mini General] RicardoAlves27:
I have the same error! Why?
[HD Mini General] whiskydean:
Same error code here. I made a hard reset and then the ROM update worked.
[HD Mini General] SDBoss:
I ended up doing the ROM flash on another machine, I still have no clue why the 1st PC did not do the job properly. I had no other USB links apart from my optical mouse and keyboard and cannot imagine these would interfere.

Anyway, it's updated now and working like a charm as it should be.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] rangestang:
MetaMorph Watermark'D v3.4

This theme was created by stewart1champ. Credit goes to him. Originaly made for the Moto Droid. All I did was port it over to the eris. It was a pain though. This theme is made to work with Froyo/Cyanogen roms using metamorph. I was having way too many problems using the recovery method and metamorph is more cross compatable anyways. It may work with others so let me know. ENJOY!

Edit: I would suggest going down the list and applying one theme at a time until you get to the end. A force close is normal when applying "phone.apk". Remember it's always good practice to do a nand backup before flashing anything.

Disclaimer: Like everything else around here, you flash this at your own risk. I am not at fault if you brick your phone.

Looks very nice, thanks for putting some effort into this. You should check out Daneshm90's Theme Porter application for the PC. There is even a newer beta that resizes the HDMI down to 66% to make the pics work for MDPI. It's not an exact science or anything yet, but might be able to do the bulk of the work for you and then you can come back and polish it up. Found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=737526

[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] rangestang:
Thank you for this. Looks like it would be tons easier!
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] rangestang:
hmmm. i'll see if i can find a work around for this. I do have a metamorph version. However with MM it always seems to take several attempts to get the theme to fully apply.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Busphan:
Metamorph version works well for Kaosfroyo v28. Thanks this is a nice theme.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] chuck solid:
Oh. So close. Any particular order they should be done in? 'Phone' is the last .apk in my list and it keeps giving me a FC.

Any thoughts?

Everything else that has taken looks awesome BTW. Great work.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] rangestang:
Thanks guys! As far as the FC on the phone portion goes its always done that to me. Don't really know why. But it still applies and requires a reboot.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] chuck solid:
That's weird. Is it just on kaosfroyo that it happens?
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] grimjeeper:
i also have always gotten FC's on phone.apk but I'm not sure what phone.apk does since contacts.apk does the dialer and what not
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] rangestang:
The phone apk has always fc on me regardless of what rom I've tried. The only thing it changes is your phone icon. So it can be skipped if you don't mind your stock icon.

[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] rangestang:

[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] chuck solid:
Used recovery and got stuck in boot loader. Tried it with MM and it worked fine.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] rangestang:
yeah, the recovery method only works with cyanogen tazz apparently
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] chuck solid:
Looks like I'm stuck on boot loader via Recovery on Tazz v7. Maybe it's my phone.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] rangestang:
Interesting. I'm going to attempt to make a more generic recovery version. I guess in the mean time everyone should stick with metamorph.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] rangestang:
Just updated the theme a little bit. Only using MM now as recovery version was more of a hit or miss.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] chuck solid:
Sweet deal man! I'll take it for a spin later and report any bugs back.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wang1chung:
if the spl is (i'm assuming) located on the nand, but before the OS, should we not be able to flash only the 256kb associated with the spl and have no affect the os/settings at all?

now, i was one of the unfortunate ones to get a phone that has the 3button boot to recovery/download mode disabled. however, two of my friends got the same phone the same day and theirs works fine. can i not backup their spl, and flash it on my phone and therefore have a functioning 3button boot?

i was reading into it with nandroid backup, but couldn't find anything specific.

does this sound plausible? and if so, is nandroid backup the way to go?

my phone is a galaxy s from bell if it makes a difference.

thanks

Well Right Now Some How ive messed up my Evo.

I had used Simpleroot to root the phone but i know need it back to factory settings. When i tried to use a one of the RUUs it made my Hboot change from .76 to .79. Whenever i try to use simple root again to get my Hboot back the PC36IMG wont update.

Im on the 1.47 stock room since i can still boot into RA recovery. Ive also just tried to use another Ruu but this time it wont load into the bootloader and gives me the 170 error.

Ive tried all the RUUs and even tried to move the PC36IMG to my phone manually but nothing seems to work. I dont get it.:confused:

T-Mobile is send me a new phone; my current one keeps deleting my SD card. I'm saving all my stuff in preparation for the new phone. Is there a way to save Calendar dates so I can tramsfer them to my new phone? I noticed that the calendar is linked with the Gmail account I setup when I first. got my phone. I don't use Gmail, so I'm not familiar with it. I opened the Gmail app, but there was no calendar option. Is there a way that I can save/backup my calendar info so I can sync it to my new phone?

Also, contacts are saved to the SIM card (allowing me to simply import them to the new phones), right?

[Captivate General] waiting4gingerbread:
I know there is an app that flashes a small square on the screen to notify of text or email. I'm wondering if a similar app can be made to light up one of the bottom 4 buttons. That way it might use less battery by lighting up the LED light on the bottom rather a portion of the AMOLED screen...
[Captivate General] Berserk87:
amoled screens have no backlight, and the only part using power is the part that is lit up.

they use the amoled screen for notifications because it uses less battery power than the touch bottons.
[Captivate General] eatkabab:
The tech specs claim no back light which lends support to the idea that when the screen is black its actually 'off', but I'm not so sure about that. If you go into a pitch black room and look at the "noLED" notification squares, you can actually see the "black" screen lit up. If you hit the power button, it then turns the screen (and the notification squares) off. NOW the screen is BLACK.

I would assume the buttons at the bottom probably use less power. Also, each button has its own light. It would be great if only the home button would blink when you get a message. or maybe different buttons for different things you receive.

As far as I know, this hasn't been possible yet... I'm VERY hopeful since I can't really live without an indicator light and using the entire screen seems 'stupid' for lack of a better word.
[Captivate General] BigJayDogg3:
Several people have reported a drastic hit in battery life using noled. I don't know if those issues have been resolved yet.

Sent from my Samsung Captivate
[Captivate General] nbs11:
As of now it is not possible because there is no API for the bottom four lights and what was found in the source code was not helpful. None the less, similar feats have been accomplished with HTC phones by basically reverse engineering them.

Hey I was just wondering how many nandroid backup files yall usually keep? I only have a 2GB SD card and each backup takes up about 500MB... Should I only keep the latest backup I've done or is it good to have a few?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magneticzero:
copy them to a external harddrive for safe keeping, you never know how many you will need until it is too late and you will be kicking yourself for deleting one. but with a 2gb card, i would just keep one and keep saving it to your computer/external drive to keep space on your card...

better than Switchpro

I used switchpro widget "reload sdcard", it was the only way to see new imported pictures in gallery, or new music, etc. ( web saved or home filezilla ftp ) but i had the media scanning on start. long and boring process

With your app, and startup manager disabling media scanning, the widget didn't reload new pictures efficiently. Your app did it.

So, a big thanks. Now, it's "on demand". Very good work.

For now you will have to keep usb debugging on our else it won't work.

Nothing ever bad will come of leaving it on.

I suppose most of those that have rooted will have left usb debugging on.

I put usb debugging on all the time coz I need to debug my apps all the time. Also incase my phone goes black or any odd issue arises, I can always use adb.

It's one of the first things I do after flashing roms.

I will sleep on this and try to get a solution soon.

I have noticed that it is not just my app but even all the terminal emulators that fail to enter that pm command even after giving it root permission, if usb debugging is off. O_o
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] mystifiyer:
No wonder it wasn't working when I went to work in the morning. Haha. So it was USB debugging issue.

That be abit of a headache since I mount my SD cards to transfer files and use wired tethering. Hopefully the reliance on USB debugging can be resolved someday :)

USB Debugging does not prevent you from doing any such things.

The only reason you would want it off is because there is a warning whenever you have it on.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] mystifiyer:
I can offer no other explanation other than that by enabling USB Debugging, the app works.

I try entering the command in terminal but it didnt work. It works (or so I thought) is because when I entered the command, USB Debugging was enabled because I was using adb shell to execute. Seemingly it didnt work today because I was travelling around with USB Debugging off.

Strange but true. USB Debugging works.
