[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] android-lover:
mate i followed the steps as mentioned my neopeek... but i got error in ubuntu not i the device and i was not able to find the solution at his website ..if you know where i can fix this it would be great help for me...if u know the link plz share

Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
You don't think you can find the fix by asking in the thread in which you got the build you are using? Neopeek's build is the only build that requires multiple partitions, so his thread, since he is the developer for that system, should be the one you are asking.

Use GParted to create the partitions. It should be as simple as clicking the GUI. I never had any mount problems when testing this neopeek build, or the XDAndroid multiple partition setup, nor did any of the other testers that I talked with. I dont know if you are trying to manually mount that drive, but for me it always did it automatically when i put the SD card into my card reader. Perhaps I would start from step 1, and take them very slowly 1 at a time. Its usually something very small you overlooked.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] android-lover:
well thankyou Reefermattness for your reply i really liked your build ...i was using it for like 2months and runs very good for me .... and your build was like piece of cake installation i just want to try this new neopeek build.the problem was in the card it self... now i changed to my 16Gb card and this works...anyways thankyou so much

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nexmanus:
[Q] Is it possible to have the Stock 2.2 "phone" button behavior using ADW Launcher?

In 2.2, the phone button on the default launcher remembers the last "tab" you were on in the phone app (instead of always going to the phone tab it would remember if you were last on the Phone / Call log / Contacts / Favorites tab. The standard widget "phone" you can add always sends you to the phone tab.

I would love to use ADW again, but for me the always going to the "phone" tab dialer is a deal breaker. I have searched for an answer here and on Google, but could not find anything related to this issue. Any help would be appreciated.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Dialer One has that option (among tons of other options), if you want to try it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nexmanus:
I will give Dialer One a try and see how I like it.

I was hoping that the answer was easy, since it is obviously a widget that the default android launcher uses. I figured I was just not seeing it in the widget list or it was a shortcut that was obscure.

yeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

no.

once you have a problem, and simplify it and have error tolerance its no longer a super computer problem.

for real super computer problems look up Grand Challenge Problem. Cool stuff there.
[EVO 4G General] SharkUW:
I assume the neat thing here is in the algorithms they're using to get the reduced problem.
[EVO 4G General] nenn:
would totally be awesome to see the changes and the error tolerances :D
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Cletonius:
I'm on the fence as to if I should root my Droid. I'm getting the message to install the 2.2 ota and part of me wants to take it but I've been wanting to root for a while now.

How much benefit would I get using cm vs stock android?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Cletonius:
since i'm getting all these views and no replies, perhaps I should clarify. As far as I can tell, the only thing that really interests me about rooting is the ability to run custom themes and change my boot animation and all that. I've heard that CM is faster than stock android so that's appealing as well, but not as much as the ability to use themes and stuff.

What say you?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] CFORDv:
if i were you i would update to 2.2 and use easyroot or universalandroot to overclock then wait for a better root to come out where you can load custom roms etc.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] [ L ]:
Download Universal Androot. Press Root. Then after the process is done, reboot your phone. You are now rooted. After doing so, download ROM Manager (Free version) and flash CWMod Recovery and then install CyanogenMod. Then, buy the Premium Version from the market and while that is downloading, use the App menu in settings to back up your apps to your SD Card after the Premium is done downloading. Go back into ROM Manager and download and install one of jdLfg's kernels. You now have a ludicrously fast phone with a ridiculous amount of themes for your ROM. And all of this will take about 15, maybe twenty minutes at most.

(No, you don't need to wipe to install CyanogenMod)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Cletonius:
Wow, thanks. I had no idea I could do it all from the phone like that.

What's the advantage to the paid rom manager vs the free one? Does the paid have access to more stuff?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] srwood:
Pay the few cents and support the dev. This such a useful you won't regret it. Makes and restore of of your ROMsnso much easier.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Cletonius:
I don't have a problem supporting the dev, I was just curious if there were additional features in the paid version. You know, to make it worth our while to pay.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] srwood:
I believe you have to have the paid version to download ROMs through the app.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] iboxenator:
@ L or anyone else who can help

I followed your instructions and the ROM manager wont work... should i not have already had 2.2 before doing this?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] [ L ]:
Universal Androot should have installed Superuser Permissions which should allow RM to install ROMs. If you are "stuck at M" flash SP then flash CWMod Recovery again and try to reinstall the ROM that you want.

And no, it does not matter which update you were running before you rooted. If the RM installs aren't working, then download which ROM you want from the internet and flash that.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] iboxenator:
Thank you that worked.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dadicus:
I have installed Ubuntu on my android phone by following the nexusonehacks.net guide. All is working well. The reason I am creating this thread is because in nexusonehacks.net guide he mentions that he got his ubuntu.img from some guys at the xda forums.

I am wanting to get an ARM img of mint linux (LXDE version) and while I have spent countless hours trying to figure out how to install mint linux with an ARM emulator it appears to be above my linux knowledge.

I know that mint linux is based on ubuntu and should have the latest linux kernel and therefor has ARM support built in already, so that is not a problem, no need to compile a kernel with support for ARM.

Basically I am just looking for someone who is running an ARM emulator or has an ARM based laptop to install mint linux (LXDE version) and do a disk dump of the HDD into an image file I can then use to replace the ubuntu.img file I am currently using on my phone.

If this would be a simple task for someone to do and upload the image, I would be most appreciative.

It would be best if I could have the dev who provided the original ubuntu.img file to nexusonehacks.net do the dd of mint linux as I am sure he knows all of the details of how to do a proper dd for use on an android phone. If anyone can point me in the direction of that particular dev, that would be great, thanks!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FunkyMcBain:
Buddy of mine was working on gentoo for his N900, which is an ARM proc. Ubuntu has an emulator for that, he said that it seems only ubuntu does, but you run a virtual machine with an ARM emulator. Thing is that I'm not sure if a standard ARM emulator would work too well, the chip on the N1 has some extra stuff on it apparently
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leonnib4:
It sounds to me complicated because Linux Mint is not distributed for ARM...

Take Debian :D

I know I did not helped, I just gived my advice on how to get Linux on Android phones: get debian which is available for tons of architectures, including ARM, natively.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jairuncaloth:
Well, it doesn't really work that way. If the distribution doesn't have their packages built for ARM then it's not going to work. Yes the kernel supports ARM but it still has to be built specifically for the processor it's going to run on. That goes for most other software packages too.

Getting debian and LXDE running on the N1 is pretty easy to do. There is a guide buried a few pages down in this forum. Also, I'm hoping to release a script to help automate much of the install soon.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leonnib4:
I guess you were talking about Ubuntu, not Debian? :)

Very easy: Debian is available for ARM:

[alpha][amd64][arm][armel][hppa][i386][ia64][mips][mipsel][powerpc][sparc][s390][source][multi-arch] :D :D

I would love to see that.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dadicus:
Well this pretty much answers my question. Thank you very much. At least I have ubuntu running on it, I will be happy with that.

[Vibrant Accessories] flexnix:
I'm so tempted on jumping on these for our phones, but I'm a little concerned with the size of the ring inside if it'll clear our squared glass lens cover.

http://photojojo.com/store/awesomeness/cell-phone-lenses/

From what I see I guess the ring on one side has a double sided tape? And the other side is magnetic.

Is there anyone out there that can measure in mm's and see if it'll clear our squared glass lens protector cover?

The diameters of the ring are 13.06mm (outer) and 9.38mm (inner)
[Vibrant Accessories] solidkundi:
i think our camera is way off to the edge... where the magnetic ring might not be able to fit properly....

but i could be wrong... since i'm just judging by the pics alone....not too sure.... has anyone tried this?
[Vibrant Accessories] danceponyboy:
someone please test this out

i want that!!
[Vibrant Accessories] flexnix:
If anything we benefit from the semi-flatter corner than the iPhone 3G. Look at these pics on this auction.

[Vibrant Accessories] scrizz:
i might just have to get the wide angle/macro one!
[Vibrant Accessories] creator2456:
Doing a quick measurement, I'm getting 12.5mm diagnal measurement on the lens opening on teh case. It is also 10.5mm x 10.5mm.

So, this will fit on just fine, but you won't be able to remove the battery cover (due to the ring sticking to the corners of the lens housing).
[Vibrant Accessories] orells:
Damn that stinks, but I'm sure a little sandpaper can remove the adhesive around those corners so

i'm still willing to try it out.
[Vibrant Accessories] creator2456:
I'm sure it can be done fairly easily. I just don't want to be the guinea pig for it, so please post results if you go through it.
[Vibrant Accessories] flexnix:
Yep, some minor adjustments to the adhesive on the ring and it would work. Just get an Xacto knife and cut the corners.

I'd get a piece of thick paper...make an identical lens cover with it...then mock it up to the lens ring..and I'll then know where to cut.
[Vibrant Accessories] flexnix:
Xacto knife, sandpaper will be too messy of a job and you'll have the possibility of messing it up.
[Vibrant Accessories] flexnix:
Now I'm wondering if its going to be an issue to keep the T-Mobile black rubber phone case on with the ring installed. :(
[Vibrant Accessories] sfsilicon:
There is a deal extreme 15mm lens which has really good corner quality. There is even a comparison video on youtube for it. It is a couple of bucks cheaper than the one you linked to.
[Vibrant Accessories] flexnix:
Link please.
[Vibrant Accessories] sfsilicon:
Here you go. Comparison videos in the customer video section: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.39814
[Vibrant Accessories] flexnix:
Just ordered the fisheye from the link above. The 15mm ring will surpass the cam lens. What I'll probably do is use the extra back cover purple case and paste on the ring. So when I dont want to use it I can leave it home and use my standard blue battery case with my Tmobile rubber case. :) I'll post updates soon!
[Vibrant Accessories] typedink:
Would this work for a MyTouch 4G? If you've looked at it, you;ll see around the lens its kind of beveled, and the battery door would probably get stuck with the magnet they want you to put on it... also another thing to think about, magnets do damage hard drives, would it damage sd cards?
[Vibrant Accessories] kboater:
any updates from anyone who has ordered one or used one?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rymon:
Hi all!

As per topic, actually.

I hope this is the right section to ask for this, as I want to make it specific for the Desire ROMs and not all the ROMs with Sense or No Sense.

I plan on getting an HTC Desire and having a custom ROM right away (that is, after going through all the required process of rooting etc.).

My question is the following:

What should I ask myself when choosing between a Sense and No Sense ROM(other than the UI experience)?

While doing a research through the forum I found some answers, however nothing was too informative. E.g. I found out that if one wants to play games in a custom ROM he should go for a No Sense ROM.

Is it because Sense ROM affects the performance or is it because of the way its settings are that does not interact with games well.

Does this happen to other kinds of applications as well?

Is there anything else that one needs to keep in mind when chosing for a ROM when it comes to Sense or No Sense?

Why go for Sense and why for No Sense?

I realize this is too much to ask, but as I searched through the forum and did not find anything specific, I believe that this will be helpful information for Desire newbies like me.

Thank you!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wgg:
This may not answer your question in the depth you asked but from my own experience after using roms with and without sense I prefer the ones with sense.

Did not find any appreciable difference in speed but prefered sense roms from a purely aesthtic point of view.

Best idea is to get the phone and try different roms to see what you like. There are so many roms and everybody has their favourite that you will not get a definative answer.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kinma:
The fun part is, once you are rooted you can test all ROMs and see which work best for you.

You can either spend hours trying to find an answer to this particular question or you can just try a couple of them and see what works best for you.

Sense comes with a couple of wonderful apps, which you lose (like the FM-radio) when you use a non-Sense ROM.

I don't need them per se, so I am currently on WhiteXperience, which is non-sense.

This ROM is extremely fast with low battery usage, which makes it great for playing games.

New ROMs come out every day and they get better and better each day.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpSpin:
A Thread with a question I also want to know since several weeks :-)

If I get a no Sense ROM do I lose all HTC specific programs.

Widgets, ok, no issue. I don't use them either. Use Launcher Pro.

But programs, especially the mail client, how's that? Do I have to search a new one from the Market? I don't think there is one available as powerful as the HTC one.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kewvention:
I prefer using the sense roms cause I get the sense dialer which I much prefer over the stock Android dialer, including the contacts manager. However in using adw launcher as it feels much faster than the sense interface
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
I've not heard that one before! I've no problems playing games with a Sense ROM.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbdags:
I love sense and can't do without it now. Sense-less roms feel really empty and boring to me now.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeandjaimie:
Doesn't really answer your question, but there are a couple ROMs that have the UI portion of sense (i believe its called rosie) removed and then had the dialer/contacts/etc ported to work with stock or alternate launchers. Iirc Cyanogen is one like this... might help you out going that route too..

As to the actual question.. I have noticed that non-sense roms do seem to be a noticeably faster, but its usually cause most are highly tweaked for increased performance and usually include a2sd+. A lot of the sense roms are also tweaked as well, but usually include the froyo a2sd, which doesn't seem to be as much of a performance boost. Onto of which most of the tweaked to the sense based roms are for UI improvements, themes, etc. And not as hardcore performance based...

Just my 2 cents... IMHO... Take it as you will ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeandjaimie:
I had a Motorola Milestone previously so I'm used to the stock Android.. if you want something with a little more umph, I really recommend LauncherPro (and LP Plus). My fav launcher by far!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Just an fyi, but CyanogenMod is most assuredly *nothing* like this.

CyanogenMod is based on AOSP Android, but has been significantly customized from the original source. It owes nothing to the Sense frameworks that HTC have built into their own version of Android.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeandjaimie:
Sorry yeah I worded it wrong.. I should have said sense-less ROMs that have some of the sense components ported. My bad, but thanks for pointing it out.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rymon:
Thank you everyone!

I will follow your advice and try out different ROMS of both UIs (Sense and non-Sense) and see which of the two I prefer.

I will most probably start with a Sense ROM and if I stumble upon any issues I will try the other one as well.

Can you please point me towards two or three ROMs of each UI that I should definitely try out?

As for the battery efficiency of the ROM I do not worry. I have stumbled upon a couple of threads that IMHO give the best advice I could get when it comes to managing several phone settings in order to reduce power drainage.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madd0g:
Try this one, you can remove Sense very quickly if you want, but Sense Dialer will stay, which is better anyway.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JimmyGulp:
You wouldn't go wrong trying the Cyanogenmod ROM, its a non-sense one, but as stated before, very tweaked.

As regards one of the other posters, an excellent replacement for the mail app is K-9, you'll find it in the market, and its been my mail app of choice since I owned my G1, it handles IMAP very well, though I've not tried it with an exchange server, so can't comment there :)

Hope that helps
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andycted:
Tried many sense and non-sense roms. This is what I found:

HTC Sense roms have:

- Better Gallery, faster and with better zoom

- Better Dialer, faster, sleek and functional

- Better and nicer graphics for contacts

- Better camera application. Touch focus (coming to non-sense), better autofocus

- Better integrated Clipboard and selection mode

- Some other HTC applications for News, Twitter, Plurk, Facebook, Weather, etc. But these can be replaced more easily

- Some nice widgets for the above applications. They have a very nice graphic appearance

- (subjective) better memory management, I find AOSP builds too aggressive in some regards

- Nice touches like usb-plugging choice, Bluetooth FTP, etc

- Medium-high auto brightness levels

For Non-Sense roms you get:

- many kernels to choose, OC, UV, etc. At least until htc froyo source is released

- crazy high benchmarks if you OC

- much more configurability, mainly for the interface

- configurable Auto-brightness

- system wide equalizer

- some stuff I don't use (so I don't know well) like OpenVPN

- WiFi N ?

- Cyanogen Renders (in some)

- many new tweaks and releases every week

personally I really don't mind the bugs and quirks you sometimes get in AOSP roms, but I can't really live with the available alternatives to the HTC Gallery, Dialer and Camera.

Anyway these are some of the possible replacements for HTC stuff:

- Email client -> Maildroid

- Dialer -> Dialer One

- Gallery -> .... uuuuhmmmm .... errrr..... either Stock 3D Gallery or Just Pictures. They are both crap in my opinion

- Camera -> Vignette or just use stock Nexus One

- Home Launcher -> Many to choose

- News -> Feedr

- Twitter -> official client
[Captivate General] nbarsotti:
I believe that the Captivate does have a WiFi problem. It works just great at my house with 1 Linksys/Tomato router (WPA2, AES, pure-g). At work with 3 HP Procurve 420 APs all set with (WPA2, AES, pure-g) the captivate will connect just fine to the first AP won't roam to any others. When I walk across the building it doesn't properly switch to the closer AP. All of our laptops and iPhones will do this just fine. The solution for me is to turn off wifi, then turn it back on when I move locations. Its a pain, but not a deal breaker for me. FYI all of our HP Procruve APs are set on different radio channels, same SSID, same security (WPA2, AES, pure-g mode).

What is your WiFi experience at a locations with multiple APs?
[Legend General] TyCam:
phandroid.com/2010/08/20/bells-htc-legend-already-hitting-end-of-life-due-to-supply-constraints/

What does this mean to those of us that just got one? Will they still roll out the Froyo update (if it ever comes out)?

It would have been nice to know this last month when I got it.
[Legend General] mgillespie:
Froyo is coming for Legend. Wether Bell release it or not is another matter, and something you need to ask them.

I could consider goldcard and debranding ASAP and then just pick up the HTC updae when it arrives in the next few weeks.
[Legend General] marclh1992:
Damn, that was a short lived phone launch. I got one last month and now they're discontinuing it. Good thing I'm rooted and can just install FroYo when it comes out, just in case Bell doesn't want to launch it for the Legend.
