Actually, I believe 2.1+ have a task killer built in, just the GUI is somewhat a pain and it isn't easily accessed (and completely unnecessary). The rest sorta makes sense, except the web os thing.. i don't know how web os is for use, never used one of those phones, but I'd venture a guess to say.. unlimited homescreens + looping? Maybe. I dunno.
[Android Apps and Games] bcpk:
It will also include a feature that automatically hacks all iPhones within 50 metres.
[Android Apps and Games] wtff:
>> The icons will be in the shape of cuboid.

uuhh, I cannot imagine that that will look nice. Edged 3D- or bevelled- objects in GUI design are kind of outdated and unfashionable these days. I fear that google might over-do the GUI design by falling prey to showing off 3D effects.

I am a big fan of 3D effects but nonetheless hope that the new design won't be too edgy.

>> You can even change the notification bar colour.

lets hope that that includes setting alpha transparency. The mono-colored notification bar in the current Android OS cannot compete with the fresh look of the iOS4 notification bar.

Other than that, the feature list really looks delicious.

I hope that that come up with a lightning quick way of app switching. Perhaps even an option to always leave a ribbon of 20 pixels at the bottom of the screen holding the icons of the previously opened apps.
[Android Apps and Games] iamamp3pimp:
yes. something similar to the mac interface would be nice.

Any news about Gingerbread ? They said it will be unveiled in October..
[Android Apps and Games] dezshiz:
I'm saying late November early December..
[Android Apps and Games] DroidSloth:
If this article has any weight to it, we could be looking at early 2011. Apparently LG is blaming delays in Google finishing the gingerbread source for their delays in the tablet.

Sorry, I'm not cool enough yet to link to the article, so I just pasted it in quote form. But it is listed as cite_note-53 on wikipedia's android os article.
[Android Apps and Games] rajitsingh:
Well the "faster than swype" typing is true as google recently acquired blind type. So, I guess we have a credible source. Good news!
[Android Apps and Games] galaxys:
Hopefully by November if we are lucky...
[Android Apps and Games] melwan:
Is it 3G? and has the wifis? :p
[Android Apps and Games] sturmeh:
The list was seemingly plausible until...

I lol'd.
[Android Apps and Games] E_man5112:
Both seem plausible to me. It already has the task killer, and as the platform grows, viruses are inevitable. Already been a few "scares".

In fact, this whole list seems plausible to me, and nice. Browser also needs better syncing with desktop chrome.

[Vibrant General] Oopsisharted:
Hi There, new to the boards.

Heres the low down. Im a recent iPhone convert. I got my first iPhone when they first came out, quickly realized how terrible ATT is, and hacked/flashed it unlocked it and went over to t-mobile. Back then hacking was like it is as of recently, go to website, hit link, wait for download, and voila!

I'm familiar with assistive-programs that help you jailbreak, like redsn0w and ultra, etc. But when my battery died, and i looked around, I finally realized that phone hardware finally caught up with the iPhone, and Android started looking really appealing. I love the open-source community, and the newer devices(Evo,GalaxyS,Droid)

After a very short think session(cause im with tmobile and the selection is vapid) I bought the Vibrant. I love the phone, aside from a few minor complaints(i would like a better battery life, and charge time. and a camera flash would be nice.)

I'm wondering what i should do to get the best performance and battery life out of my vibrant? SHOULD i root it? and with my modest developer background, should I attempt to root the device? is rooting really advantageous or should I just stick with good ol TMOB/Samsung 2.1 with all the crapware?

in short, whats the optimal android experience? and is it worth the hassle and voided warranty to do it?
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
Why do you need camera flash? Use nightmode.. it works amazing in the dark.

Go ahead and root it, it is so simple and allows you to customize your phone a lot more especially when ROMs start to release. With rooting you are able to remove the "crapware" and apply a lagfix that will boost your phone's performance significantly and a lot of other things. Customization in Android can go on for days and days and there are a lot of choices, just look around for what fits into your personality. Rooting is just another level of customizing your phone. As long as you're careful and you can read instructions then I'm sure you'll be fine.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
^ petty much nailed it. Night mode is way better than a flash and rooting is a must. Check the sticky if you haven't already.
[Vibrant General] dq13:
I was an iPhone user for a while as well. I can say (being modest) that I master the iPhone (being a regular user and not a dev level). I have jailbroken, unlocked and owned every single iPhone (2g, 3g, 3gs and 4) and my wife still uses it. Now I have a vibrant, rooting is the exact same thing as jailbreaking, just with another name... it basically gives you access to the "root" directory, (hence the name) just like jailbreak does to the iPhone... so if you like jailbreaking your iphone to install some apps that only run on jailbroken devices and you like modding your iphone.. then you must root your vibrant.

the battery life is poor because its a new toy and you are probably playing with it all day. once you get it fully setup and use it in a "normal way" (calls, text, emails, etc) and not installing and uninstalling apps to try every 5 minutes and changing all the settings, playing with gps, wifi, screen resolution, camera, etc... and all the good stuff that you use when you get a new phone, then the battery life is not as bad as you think.. I had the same first impression, now my battery last from 5am that I wake up, until midnight that I go to sleep
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Homerunhiter:
In the stock messaging app or any messaging app, is there a way to get a read report for SMS and not only for MMS? I know the stock messaging app and handcent both allow a MMS read report, but there is no option for a text read report to know whether or not the person has read your text. Does anyone have any idea how you can get read reports? Thanks
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] [ L ]:
You know they have read it when they reply to you. There is no other way to know than that. There might be in handcent but I am not sure.

​

This is a MetaMorph for all CyanogenMod 6 Roms including Nightly.

Instructions: You must be rooted.

1. Download MetaMorph from the market by Stephen(Stericson) and install it.

2. Put the cmparts_ui.xml AND CM6RC2_Nightly.zip that I have included in the second post on the root of your sdcard.

3. Go to Settings>CyanogenMod settings>User interface>Tweaks extras> and then select Import colors from XML. This will change the color of the fonts. Reboot your phone.

4. Open MetaMorph and click on Unzip/Extract new theme. Direct it to CM6RC2_Nightly.zip. It will extract all theme files and then click APPLY ALL (this requires reboot at the end).

5. Enjoy what has to be one of the greatest themes ever made for Android.

--FAQ's--

nsolo1717 asked: Do you have to redo these steps you have outlined every time you flash a new nightly on CM or will it stick? Thanks for your work

Answer: Every time there's a new nightly you have to morph the theme after flashing but its not necessary to import the font color xml... although it wouldn't hurt just in case.

---------

CuzinBucksBx asked: I have a error saying "Problem loading Widget"

Answer: Just re-do the widgets. Morphing causes them to mess up for some reason.

---------

Monarch8d asked: great theme except I can't get the status bar to change to the one you have pictured. any advice?

Answer: Status bar SHOULD change to the way it is in the picture. Try this... menu>settings>cyanogen mod>user interface>notification colors> and make sure that "Custom notification bar" is UNCHECKED. Reboot. You should now have the black bar if not... morph the theme one more time.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myersn024:
Ok, so this has been driving me crazy. Every Froyo ROM that I've tried that has Sense in it (Fresh 3.1.0.1 & Steel's rooted stock) stays awake 100% of the time. I've downloaded Spare Parts and there's not a partial wake issue; it always shows 100% running under other usage. Before this afternoon I had been using CM6 RC2, and the problem had not shown up at all. I decided to go back to a Sense ROM so I could have 4G functionality, and as soon as it booted up the 100% awake issue came back...and this was before I even started reinstalling apps. I would like to stay with an HTC based ROM right now, but if I can't track down the cause then I'm going to have to go back to CM6.

So, where do I need to start in trying to figure this out?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebu:
only apps i know having this issue were facebook and camera 360. do a full wipe and dont restore anything. see if it happens with no apps installed.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myersn024:
I'm doing that right now. I'll report back what I find out.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coppertop24:
nevermid, reread post
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myersn024:
Well, I think I may have figured it out. For some reason Swype keeps giving me trouble after being installed for a while. It begins acting like it has expired, and as soon as that happens the awake time starts to run out of control. So far I've got most of my apps back on the phone (swype not included) and everything is still running fine. I'm going to give it a little more time before deciding for sure, but so far so good...
[General Questions and Answers] Boozor:
After I tried to install Andriod it failed on me because it was taking a very long time to load almost 2 hours and then I took out the battery and now my phone cannot turn on. Can anyone help me out here?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwazi:
So basically just answer the poll based on a normal day of usage...

I'm curious as to how other people's nexus ones are doing in terms of battery life. I can practically watch the battery % drop. It lasts about 15-16 hrs, but thats even with being careful (enabling airplane mode in areas with no reception, disabling GPS some places, using only 2g at times). Heck, today, I lost 25% over 2.5 hrs, I was listening to music for about an hour, and was surfing the web for a little bit as well.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
Yeah I can literally watch my battery drop as well. It's the always on data connection. One day turn off cellular data for the whole day just as a test, and see how much longer your battery will last. It's such a huge difference you could prob go 2 full days easily.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disgustip8ted:
36 hours actually, that's what I got when I turned off background data,wifi, location services, chat, messengers, and screen brightness last fm syncing.but then its just a phone...and boring. Id rather use it to its full potential and charge it up when it needs petted like a puppy.

On average with normal use I go about 12 to 19 hours.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
With data on, losing about 1.5% an hour in standby, with syncing and all. Math says if I don't touch it, it can stay synced 70 hours till discharged (assuming no phone calls and no SMS). Tried once, stopped after 48 hours with ~40% remaining.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaytsus:
Sorry, but this poll is useless.. Smart Phones are not dumbphones, you can't stamp a "runs this long" label on it. Everyone has a different configuration, different things set up, different accounts/number of accounts, different data moving on those accounts, higher/lower/no sync/notifications on social media, etc...

What you're going to get is this: People who play 3D games at high brightness for 3-4 hours and kill the battery. And people who have everything disabled and never use the phone and it lasts 2-3 days. You might get some in between, but the two above are the most likely to respond because it's "exceptional".

So I'm not completely OT and just complaining, I have online IMAP with K9, weather, Google cal etc syncing, randomly use it during the day, not much phone calls but checking the market etc... I average 2.5-3.5%/hr.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danimar1:
This holidays when I was abroad (no cell data) I found myself at night with the Nexus being at 65 - 70% battery after some GPS positioning (not navigation) for offline maps (rMaps FTW:D), some snapshots, about half an hour wifi and a pair of sms and one phone call. So yes, blame the always-on cellular data.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ywindlass:
My method

This is what I do to maintain superior battery life:

1. I run CM 6 RC3 (I've found good battery life on this.)

2. I under clock the cpu (245-384) while the screen is off. This is a huge battery saver.

3. I turn off wi-fi (I found when I accidentally leave it on, I do loose a significant amount of battery when compared to when it is off, as it searches for networks.)

Thats really about it... My battery lasts the entire day and more (just by a little), with moderate usage. I do know, though, with heavy usage, the phone won't last as long.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OrganizedFellow:
:Dmy sentiments exactly!!!

I could, and I have made it last almost 45 hours with steady SMS usage.

I'd stick it in my locker, disable all activity (background, 3g, etc.), and when I took it out, I'd let it check my gmail and sms. Make my replies, and stick it back in my locker, pocket, or on my desk.

My main connection with family and friends is via SMS, so it's pretty easy to go the entire day with no internet use.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kiserai:
I'm running Enoms latest and I'm getting great battery life. Been 18 hours and I'm still at 52% with moderate usage. Not a lot of phone calls but plenty of texting, twitter updates and browsing through Google Reader. I have everything set to sync every half hour or less, GPS is on all the time and I have my screen set to auto brightness.

I just make sure to calibrate my battery when I flash a completely new ROM or when I notice my battery life getting worse. With Enom's ROMs I've never had bad battery life that couldn't be fixed with a calibration.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pinke123:
6:30am-11:30pm (17hrs): full brightness, WiFi on the whole time, Bluetooth on the whole time, gps the whole time (location services for about an hour), a few hours of talk, few hours of mp3, hour or so of Pandora, few hours of web browsing, gchat all day long,Twitter all day, taking some pics and video, and sync with two Google accounts and one Facebook. Percentage left at the end of the day... 30%!!!!!!!!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seeking:
im in the same boat as ywindlass

im running cm6 with setcpu set to underclock while the screen is off. I also have it set to underclock once my battery level gets to 40%. I went from 12 hours per day with light to moderate use to almost 24 hours.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noiz7:
Yeah, CM6-RC3 with setCPU making the CPU underclock when the screen is off is the way to go. I've been able to listen to music for at least 6 hours a day and still be at 50% battery life by the time I go home.

Hi, I'm not sure is this has been answered or not but when i open a new sms and add the contact it will send the message fine. But when i go back to that same thread and try to send another message it wont send. I did notice that when I add the contact for a new message there is just their normal number no problem but once i leave that message and come back there is a "+" in front of the number and not allowing it to send. I'm not using any SMS apps or anything. So far this has only happened with 2 of my contacts. Ive gone into the contacts within my phone and gmail and there are no "+" in front of the numbers. Anyone know how to fix this??? Droid X

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creatine1:
I have a Desire with SLCD display. I originally rooted it with the Unrevoked3 with the built in image which does not support SLCD screens. But that was fine since I installed my custom ROMs via rom manager. Today, I rerooted it with Unrevoked but used the SLCD custom image. When I hold the Power and Volume Down button and select recovery, all I get is the white HTC screen ( I waited 1 min). If I go into rom manager and select reboot into recovery, it works fine.

How can I get it to work both ways ?
