[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emuneee:
Another '+' for the Captivate is its looks to be way more hackable than the X10...if the OP is in to that kind of thing. There are already vanilla Android ROMs in development for the Captivate. There is also a bigger development community for the Captivate since its in the Galaxy S family of devices. The X10 up until this point still has a locked bootloader so custom ROMs on it will not be possible yet.

But I think this is important, because once Samsung has ended support for the Galaxy S/Captivate the development community here at XDA should still be able to provide Android updates to the device without much effort. I experienced this when I had the XPERIA X1. The developer community behind that phone was fantastic and made owning the X1 awesome. The same cannot be said for the X10, as of right now anyway.

Of course if that doesn't matter then, my point is moot...LOL.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naplesbill:
I think you have somewhat of a point but I don't think there is a custom kernel on the Captivate yet. These are just OEM ROMS rehashed and loaded with the correct pit and kernel for that particular device. No different than what is going on with the X10 really.

Also, we still don't really know whether the problems on the Captivate are just software or also involve the hardware. Time will tell.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waltah!:
I ended up buying one from a local agent. First thing I tested was GPS and it locked as fast as my N1:) phone reception is also stronger tha

n the Captivate in the same areas. I think I'm gonna like the X10 and i will love it when it gets updated. I've also not noticed any lag at all which i experienced with the Captivate.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoTnERb:
i was actually asking the very same question. I got the x10a since amazon offers it for only 49.99 which is a pretty good deal and i'm on a tight budget right now. the next few months will be great since almost all major OSs are doing major revamps, so I just bought this one to shut me up for the meantime.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emuneee:
Well no they aren't just rehashed OEM rom, its still early but as I said before there are vanilla android builds for the Captivate. You cannot got these front Samsung.

@waltah! Congrats and welcome to android!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naplesbill:
The only "Vanilla" rom I see is not even working. Just because you see something flashable doesn't mean it's a working rom. These are notes from the top of the page for that thread:

Also and update from tonight:

So it's a bit misleading to say there is a working vanilla rom for the Captivate! Don't you think?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emuneee:
I never said there was a working vanilla ROM for the Captivate. ;) If you refer to my previous post, vanilla ROMs

in development

. My main point is that custom ROM development on the Captivate/Galaxy S is a lot further along than ROM development on the X10. There's really no way around it. It helps that the bootloader isn't locked down. Not really trying to start any sort of war here as the X10 is a good device.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jojo1212:
Captivate all the time

wish i could sell my x10

no one is buying it coz of the lack of MT

and the horrible low volume in call and in general its low even when listenin to music

when its iin my pocket i miss alot of calls even if it viberates

god dammit
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naplesbill:
Don't fret, on the Captivate you will miss calls because the phone may have just shut off, it may have rebooted for no reason or by the time the call screen shows up it has already gone to voicemail. The grass is always greener but I am very confident in the belief the X10 is a better developed phone.

There isn't a perfect device on the planet, it's always a case of what's most important to the individual.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naplesbill:
Ok, fair enough but you did make it sound better than it really is. BTW, you should take a look at the posts from #201 up in this thread:

It would seem that the progress for the X10 is further along than you might think.

right, ive had to do the 'clear storage' thing again on my phone as i was having problems with it.

now ive been using the same kind of set up on the today screen for a LONg while and i want a change.

I dont like the touch flo or windows menue style either.

i put pointui on last night and its good, but there are things i want to change on it but i cant.

so what would you reccomend for me?

my old set up was like this...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
Have you tried, or willing to try flashing a custom ROM onto your phone?

The Max Sense interface is based on Sense 2.5 (newest version of Touch Flo), but is HIGHLY configurable. It it doesn't give what you want, I don't now what will!

Energy ROM has it: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=562773

Lots of people also like SPB Mobile Shell, but that is paid software.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] SMF_12:
i tried SPB demo but there were bits i didnt like, but i cant remember what it was now LOL

i am installing throttle launcher as we speak. ill let you know how i get on.

As for the rom i have still got the stock ROM :eek:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
Flashing a custom ROM is not difficult. It might give you the home screen you're looking for, and may also alleviate the lag issues you seem to have (based on your signature).

I flashed my first custom ROM last May, and its so good, I immediately started wondering why I waited so long!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] SMF_12:
im rubbish at doin **** like that and ill probly brick my phone LOL

rubbish excuse i know.

but i also want a super light rom when i do finally do it tho.

throttle launcher is good btw, but when ya flip your screen it all goes away :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
Read the threads, and follow in the instructions, and you won't brick anything.

See how the first thread is titled "Flashing your First GSM Rhodium Rom (For Noobs)"? Its really written to be simple and idiot proof. Anyone can do it.

Best thing to do, if you are flashing for the first time, is read as much as you can BEFORE you start. Read the first few pages of each thread, and maybe the last several pages (to see what commons issues people have had). Same with the thread for whatever ROM you choose.

Follow the instructions carefully, and you will be fine. Usually nothing terrible will happen, but maybe just a minor glitch in the process that is not exactly per the instructions. That's why its good to read through the threads. You won't likely encounter a problem, which has not already been found by somebody else and has a solution posted for it somewhere.

Good luck.

How did you geth the icons on your Today Screen ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jimmyjoebob:
Anything that is based on the sense/flo are pretty bad, they are just as slow. There isn't a ROM out there that is simple and fast, I have tried many of them and they're all bloated.

The fastest version of any of them is the default with the HTC Sense disabled, like you have found.

HTC sense is terrible and slow.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] StrangeShadow:
SPB Pocket Plus is descent: http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/pocketplus/

The closest thing I can get to Samsung's "Today Plus" from my Sansung Epix...which is awesome and really fast.

This SPB version is ok, the graphics aren't as good as the Samsung version...there are a couple of options missing...like the ability to see missed calls, voice mail, or email or text messages on the today icons...but it runs 10x faster than touchflo3d with maybe 1/4 the space.

I love the touchflo and sense look even more...but they take so much space on the device to run...you can't do much else at the same time.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t12icky0:
ok i really like the NEW CyanogenMod-6 RC1. only thing i did not like was the camera and the 2d/3d album thing(took forever to load and was sluggish. So i pushed the HTCCAMERA.apk to the system/apps folder. i know it was there as i tried to install it from there but it was unsuccessful.

Is there a way to instal the HTCCamera.apk/HTCAlbum.apk into the ROM? i have looked into it already and tried the PUSH thing but it didnt work...MAYBE I DID I WRONG??

ALSO would i need to remove the camera/3d album that it has installed on it?

Since cm6 is aosp you can't load htc sense software on it. Sorry
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chromiumleaf:
Are you sure? Ic3Rom was Sense-less, but it had the HTC Camera included in it. Is that because it was still based on Damage and not fully AOSP?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t12icky0:
yes i would like to know this
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlaqkAudio:
Yes. It was still a Sense rom, just with an AOSP look.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radxcoresteven:
Icerom had sense frameworks which HTC camera needs, whereas CM6 uses AOSP frameworks.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danaff37:
I love the camera in cm6, lots more options? What don't you like? I kind of miss the touch to focus, but I just hold the trackball down and focus on the object I want, then move the phone till the object is where I want in the frame and let go of the track ball to take the pic.

It's the same design as Capdase's Soft Jacket 2 Xpose Tinted

I would say it's a well designed case and fits nicely in the phone without any free play
[Desire Accessories] twe69:
No thats a different case. That material is on the edge of the phone case that I have so it is flexible, but the main part is a plastic material so it is solid but a rubber coating so it feels like the back of the Desire rather than being smooth. Can take a picture for you tonight if you want.
[Android Themes] djkms:
Hello all.

I am working on a theme for the droid incredible. Everything is working out great so far but I am having trouble changing the text color in the notification area.

The theme has parts of it that are a port from a evo theme so there are 2 areas for layout. layout-hdpi-v4 & layout.

Now I have hexedited status_bar_latest_event.xml / status_bar_expanded.xml / status_bar_latest_event_content.xml in both layout folders. I want to have

all

the text in the notification area to be white. I have changed the values everywhere I could to FF FF FF FF however the text in a "rest" state is still black. Can someone take a look at this for me and possibly fix it or tell me how to fix it or even better both?

Thanks for your help fellow themers!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berardi:
Ok, so to me this program seems great - backs up pretty much EVERYTHING for me, so that if I flash and wipe a new rom, it restores everything to a usable level. Now my issue is I can't understand what people mean when they say you might as well not wipe at all. If you can't use TB to restore after a wipe, what is the point of using TB at all???

Is there a way to select parts that are "ok" to restore after a wipe? or is TB pretty much pointless?

Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P_Dub_S:
Read this it will help explain how TB can mess with your ROM.

http://geekfor.me/faq/why-you-shouldnt-be-using/
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berardi:
Thanks I read that but his post didn't really make it clear for me:

What exactly does this mean? I am running CM6 nightlies. Should it be wiped and not restored via TB each time? What about going from RC1 to RC2?

If the situation is such that you can restore via TB, then why not just flash the new one and skip wiping altogether?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P_Dub_S:
Well one nice thing about Cm rom's is you can have google backup all the programs you download from the Market so no need for TB there. Where the problems can lie with TB is the SQLlite database files when restoring your user settings. If something has changed from rom versions and you restore your old sqllite settings and now its missing some information thats needed for the newer version rom it can cause problems like force closes or reboots.

For nightly's I just upgrade without a wipe. If I do have any quirks then I try a wipe which usually fixes whatever quirk I'm having.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berardi:
yeah, I've been skipping the wipe unless there is a quirk.

So basically it sounds like TB is a total waste of time if you are running CM6? Sorry... just hard for me to understand why people love the program so much if there is no real application for it? Or is it just outdated by the backing up with Google?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
it's like this - TB allows you to backup apps and settings. You may want to use this in addition to the backup that google provides - what if you find a great app, but its removed from the market? I don't think that the google backup will help you then - it will only restore what's currently in the market (disclaimer - I don't use CM6, so I'm not 100% on that).

The waste of time thing comes into play with people who have issues with a rom, so they re-flash the rom and restore apps and settings with TB. It might have been some of the settings (that were just restored with TB) that were causing the issues in the first place.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nebenezer:
^what he said

I LOVE TB but I use it to restore my apps and their data ONLY, I do not use it to restore system data.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stangdriverdoug:
I think with tb....when you restore your apps you have the choice to restore the apps with out the user data. Also you can choose to wipe them of data Before you restore.

Powered By CM-6 + Snap
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
Unlike Google's backup, TB backs up your /data/data folder, not just the APK's from your market-downloaded applications.

In other words, it backs up your application data, your apps you installed manually/downloaded, and all of your settings, such as Bluetooth name and pairings, WiFi networks (and security settings), etc.

My rule of thumb is, if going from one build to another (ie, Stock to CM6, etc.) then do NOT restore any system settings/apps. Just do a backup of YOUR apps, as-is, move over to the new ROM, restore apps and their settings, then go to the Market and update everything. Simple as that, and you shouldn't get any errors.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berardi:
Thanks that definitely helps. Market-removed apps seems like a good reason to have it. (I already bought it just trying to determine how to use it anyways)

Ok so is it fair enough to say it has a relatively "niche" market with the addition of market backups? I hate to be a bull in the ChinaShop but it seems like people really tip toe around the idea of TB being outdated by market backups. I get the general idea of what you guys are saying but I'm trying to decide what I want to do in personal practice.

I don't think I've experienced any issues but who knows if I've had less than optimal performance because of restoring previous settings. Are there any "safe" items that can be backed up and restored or is nothing really "safe" they all have entries in sqlite database that might be duplicated?

Thanks again guys for humoring me
