I'm very torn. I have been using a myTouch for the past year and loved it. The guys in the G1 forum have been awesome and my phone was modded about as extreme as possible.

But now I have this beauty. Its so pretty and runs so smooth out of the box. Do I root right away or enjoy the bloatware for a bit?

Anything I should check out right away?
[Vibrant General] boodies:
do whatever you want to. can't go wrong either way. (rooting is extremely easy) :)
[Vibrant General] All~G1:
There is an awesome sticky at the top of this forum. I suggest you start there :)
[Vibrant General] rudeguy:
dang it....go to a forum enough and you skim right over the stickies.

Thanks!

PS: I'm no stranger to rooting. I played with the bloated stuff for a solid half hour. I'm over it now.

Time to root!
[Vibrant General] vinnydakid:
You know the rules and so do I.
[Vibrant General] ConceptVBS:

Just picked mine up today. Had a mytouch 3G rooted the day I got it. Did the same with my new beast! Played with it stock for a few hours and then rooted!
[Vibrant General] adamboyd83:
I too just picked up a Vibrant today. Coming from a Sprint HTC Hero. Haven't rooted yet. Will be in the next couple of days. Loving the phone so far.
[Vibrant General] boodies:
good to see folks switching over
[Vibrant General] rudeguy:
And I think I already borked it. Did I do something bad if when installing clockwork, I chose to partition?

After the boot logo, I just get a black screen. I even tried Odin and that didn't work???
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
You're not supposed to partition with clockwork. When u do that ur partitioning, ur partitioning internal and not SD card. There's a thread about it for a brick. Find it.
[Vibrant General] rudeguy:
Thanks! I foung the thread. I'll give it a whirl when I get home.
[Vibrant General] Millennium_M:
I just recieved my Vibrant in the mail today im wondering whats the first thing i should do to it and also which is the best rom to install...???
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
The first thing you should do is read the stickied post because all your questions are pretty much answered there.

ROM? There isn't really much of a "custom" ROM... all of them are mainly revisions of TouchWiz. The ones you can choose from are Eugene's Vibrant6 and the deoxed ROM. There is also AOSP 2.1 but its in Alpha stage and not ready for daily usage. And since you just registered to XDA, I would get familiar with Android and how it works before you do something that is going to brick your device.
[Vibrant General] boodies:
oh boy, here we go... we are going to get a lot of these threads.

just flashed back to my nandroid of Fresh. But when I go to setcpu the only options I have is Performance and Conservative. Do anyone know how I can get the other options of Setcpu back...ondemand etc. It was working fine prior to me making the nandroid.

I also uninstalled and reinstalled setcpu and still the other options aren't there.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plmiller0905:
Anybody?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tj gamino:
sorry nobody has got back with you on this.. i hate when that happens but it does.. sometimes we just get lucky and sometimes its just because nobody comes across our questions.. well my friend your in luck...

the setcpu governor settings vary depending on which kernal you are using.. some even say that setcpu is not needed.. i personally was having al kinds of issues with setcpu. i just recently switched to juice defender.. havent been using it long enough to tell a diffence yet.. but im hoping my battery life increases..

hope this helps.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sombdy:
Just reflash your kernel of choice. Had the something happen to me after installing a Fresh updated ROM. Once I reflashed the kernel, the options were back.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
yep - the different governors have to be individually built into the kernel, so devs choose which ones to include and only build in the ones they want.

hi

i have touch2 t3333, when i connect it to any pc , it doesn't recognise the phone, it charges ok but wont let me do disk drive or active sync

the phone is unlocked and was on the T mobile network and has that branding

has any one any ideas

thanks in advance

Dave
[Touch2 General] aximman:
What operating system are you running on the PCs you are trying to connect to? If it is pre-Vista then you will need active sync running. If it is Vista or 7 it should recognize the phone as a mobile device. Try a soft reset while connected. I've had to do this with one of the pdas I've had. Also if you are connecting to a usb hub it might tell you it is charging but might not actually be connected. Try connecting to a usb port on the pc or another usb port if it has two.

Hey, somebody knows any functional emulator (Snes, Genesis or GBA) different of Morph Gear?? I don´t like it and all the others that I tested doesn´t worked!

The another emulators look to have a problem with the use of direct video acess (GAPI) that happens in some games. I start a game and emulator shows a black screen but if I pause the game I can see the screen of the game but only in pause....

Suggestions??

I searched this forum and did not find anything, so thought I'll create one.

Trillian for Android is out.

Best Android IM client I've used so far.

Nice features in short:

- chat tabs

- bubble conversation interface

- your account details are grouped and saved as an 'astra' account on their site.

- chats sent while you are offline are emailed to you

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SubyWill:
i've been using it and it's been great!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] evilkorn:
It force closes a lot when I multi-task back to it. I'm sending logs so I'm sure all the kinks will get worked out by the time it hits the market.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Andrewtst:
Yupe, look great :D love it

Love the interface also.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Forge94:
Looks promising, but there is no option to add a MSN messenger account.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
its there, WLM = windows live messenger
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
I get the FC error when I switch back to it too.

Another think I hope they don't do is add ads to the free version.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Forge94:
Yep, my bad.

I realised that just after i posted.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] flamechamp:
can it call like Nimbuzz??
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
it cannot, only IM for now.

Heres the FC error:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] philzytsui:
I noticed that I don't get a notification (sound nor LED) after receiving a message, and I have to open the app then the notification will appear.

Anyone with the same problem?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] thrik:
I didn't have that problem, but I did have the force close issue.

Also I don't think it yet handles links... tried tapping on a link for half a minute, nothing happened :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] qvert:
does the send IM via e-mail when in suspend work for you?

i am shown as online in the messenger, but i dont get the email with a new IM
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] akaine2001:
App doesn't stay logged on...the iphone version even did well with push and without...Uninstalled epic fail trillian
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SeEsAw12:
Don't get your pannies in a bunch, it's a BETA.

Anyway, is there a way to remove IM to E-mail?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jblparisi:
Tried the app today for a min, it is plain awful.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pzumk:
I can't even use it because I'm getting "wrong password" after registering and trying to login:rolleyes:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Jep4444:
no major issues on my end but it doesn't place nice with my messengers on my comp signing me out of FB and it not only wipes my WLM display pic(eBuddy also does this) but resets my theme

on the plus side it tells me when i contact is idle in WLM, something eBuddy doesn't do
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] qvert:
and it changes your nickname for example my normal nickname qvert is too short for trillian account, if i changed it to something like qvert2 than it changes my nickname in my messenger networks to qvert2 too
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] philzytsui:
It was a disappointment. I also uninstalled for the following reasons:

1) The push function to mail wasn't working on suspend mode.

2) The LED notification does not work.

3) fails to show notification for instant messages, have to open the app in order for notification to occur.

I know it's only beta but it just could not fulfill the basics of a IM chat client at the moment.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SubyWill:
everything is working fine for me:confused:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Chahk:
That is why you can't post beta APKs on these forums anymore - every moron thinks they are a critic.

I wish Cerulean would've done a limited beta with sign-ups and verification keys, like Swype did. That way only people that want to help with TESTING would get in, instead of pure trolls who don't know the meaning of the word "beta".

In any case, the current build of Trillian for Android sure does have its issues, but does anyone honestly thinks that any app of this complexity wouldn't? If you depend on an IM client for daily use and are unwilling to deal with bugs then don't install beta software.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] evilkorn:
Has anyone gotten a gmail warning because of this trillian application?

Warning: We believe your account was recently accessed from a suspicious IP: ceruleanstudios.com:***could be my old ip***.

ceruleanstudios.com redirects to trillian.com
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Chahk:
Trillian devs said it's because they added more servers to increase capacity, and it takes a while for Google to recognize the new set of IPs.

I cant sign in my yahoo account.. why??
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] seanowns:
I think this app is a fantastic start. 8/26/10 update made a huge improvement. I had issues with my back button being a little too aggressive, but the latest update fixed it.

I love it. Works well, looks good, resumes ad such. I would pay a few bux for it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
I'm trying the 8/26 version now. Not a single FC so far...

Does not connect to gtalk.

I had to uninstall the old version as it was getting a "dexopt failed" error during the update. After that it installed fine.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt_TX:
Hi,

Does anyone know if there is a way to install the stock Android messaging app on an Evo running the stock 2.2 OTA ROM?

I am waiting for root so I can remove this Sense UI toilet, but in the interim, I'm stuck with this horrific Sense messaging app, which has the infamous timestamp bug. I know I can use HandCent, but I don't like it.

I was wondering if I can get the Froyo Messaging.APK and install it on my Evo?

Also, is it possible to do it for contacts and the phone app too?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] defjeff:
ok, I could use a little help with this now

I have wiped all data/cache/delvik etc. reloaded the XxXViRuSXxX rom that was just release, was running the prior version before.

when installing this I am no longer able to send MMS messages. This goes for the just release version of this rom and the prior. Any suggestions or help on this would be great, really cant live without being able to send MMS and I much more enjoy this messaging system.

Hello, what is the best GPS tracker for WM that have good options, functional and easy to use?
[Droid X Android Development] sp1kez:
Credit to birdman for this

Open system/build.prop with text editor

Go down to media.stagefright and turn them all from false to true

Save file then reboot phone

Saw a 400 point increase from stock froyo
[Droid X Android Development] ksizzle9:
Did u see any real increases in the phone or just placebo effect? I'm still stunned why only the snapdragon phones are seeing the biggest increase when they have the weakest CPU/gpu combination
[Droid X Android Development] sp1kez:
My quadrant score went from 1200 stock eclair to 1400 stock froyo then 1800 after the build.prop edit
[Droid X Android Development] Nickdroid86:
I don't understand how to do this were do I find this, what app do I use to open this?
[Droid X Android Development] hawkxcore:
I hit just over 2200 with this hack. Pics to follow...
[Droid X Android Development] Corey@rabbit:
sorry to burst all of your bubbles, the stage fright "hack" changes the way android decodes h264 audio. When the phone is set to false, it takes twice as long to decode the audio if not more. You will actually see quadrant hang on that step.

With it set to true, it decodes faster, but so you know; PANDORA, SIRIUS, and other streaming apps will not function correctly when set to true. Go ahead and try it.

So it is a placebo effect, the score changes based off one decoding process. The higher scores have nothing to do with any other system performance. I think its a flaw in the way quadrant ranks processes for a score....
[Droid X Android Development] hawkxcore:
Nick, using root explorer go to /system and find build.prop copy it to your sd card and use word pad on your computer to change all 4 lines about stage fright from false to true. Save it, then over write the one in /system with the modified file. Done.
[Droid X Android Development] Nickdroid86:
I figured it out with astro but I'm on 2.2 not rooted so I'm assuming I can't do this. Plus I don't want to mess up my audio. Is there a way I can use universal androot to root my 2.2 and then use setcpu?
[Droid X Android Development] Nickdroid86:
I know 4700 isn't real, but is that also 4.7ghz? Is that how it works? What exactly is a quadrant score, sorry for the stupid questions.
[Droid X Android Development] Rockeef:
How will music apps not function correctly? I've been running Pandora for the last hour with no issues.
[Droid X Android Development] davisbs999:
Although my experience thus far doesn't support your claim(e.g. Pandora works flawlessly for me), I am interested in your claims. Do you have any links that you can post so that I can read up on the mater? thanks!

BTW, the quadrants on my X went from a mean of 1400 to 1850 following this text edit. thanks to sp1kez for passing it along
[Droid X Android Development] Rockeef:
I would like that info as well.

Cant find the thread about us talking about quadrant and the fix.... its burried in here... http://www.droidforums.net/forum/bugless/

I might look for it more later.

its not a lot to read.

It would be nice if we can run a value of true on our X without issue. It was not the case on both the D1 and the INC:mad:
[Droid X Android Development] Rockeef:
Thanks, good info. I haven't had any steaming issues so far, but if/when I will know the cause.
[Droid X Android Development] oldmacnut:
Ok, I tried this little trick. But I did other stuff to.

Feeling gutsy I removed (well renamed to .bak),

Amazon

Cmas

Verizon Nav Bloat crap

DLNA

ANY AND ALL WIDGETs

Swype

I renamed all of those guys, rebooted like 5 times as each time the phone seemed quicker. Cleaned all cache, I have a black wallpaper, Launcher Pro config'd with 1 screen.

Went from 1330 to 2170 :eek::eek::eek:

Did this to my wifes phone but she lost market and web access, Dont know what I turned back on to make it work. Weird thing, I have Zoom, she does not. I never delete system files, I just rename them.

What else can I do to speed this phone up?.
[Droid X Android Development] Corey@rabbit:
found it... page 4

http://www.droidforums.net/forum/bu...yet-poor-streaming-audio-quality-2-2-a-4.html

obviously the inverse would be true...
[Droid X Android Development] Rockeef:
Removed mine, hope you're happy. :p. Too many issues with video playbacks
[Droid X Android Development] siphyn:
Just as bad4u said it does cause problems. I scored in the 2100s consistently by changing stagefright=true. However, none of the videos on my phone would play correctly. Whether it was video taken from the camera or videos that I had put on the sdcard. I ended up reverting back to stagefright=false which fixed the issue.
[Droid X Android Development] sp1kez:
IS there any real-world performance gain from applying the TRUE value?

if there is performance gain, it would be possible to develop a Stagefright Toggle widget that changes it from false to true, so you can switch whnever you want to play audio/video or when you dont
[Droid X Android Development] teenfaces:
Didn't have any video playback issues streaming or off sdcard.
[Droid X Android Development] Rockeef:
Have you tried recording a video and then playing it back?
[Droid X Android Development] aldo37:
Video playback issue only seems to affect 720p videos recorded with the camera.
[Droid X Android Development] GoldenCyn:
I think we need an updated list of what bloatware we can rename to bak on Froyo. If im using LauncherPro, can I get rid of everything blur?
[Droid X Android Development] Joe92T:
Does it have to be called .bak? Because I just went through and changed the .apk files to .ap I, just took the k off the end and it seems to have worked
[Droid X Android Development] evilkal:
I have zero video playback issues. Hitting 1800-1900 on quadrant and 14 in linpack. I don't record video much so im not too sure about that. Not like I care about either one really lol. Video looks crisp for me even when playing HD movies from my SD card.
[Droid X Android Development] thedimachka:
You can still use rockplayer to watch 720p videos, but yes the standard media player doesnt want to play videos recorded on the droidx with stagefright=true. However Im fine using rockplayer for that anyway...
[Droid X Android Development] evilkal:
Same... Maybe that's why video playback isn't affected for me either lol.
[Droid X Android Development] pinhead875:
Is there any way to get the 720p videos to play on Rockplayer out of the gallery? Like when I press a video to play it, can the stock player be Rockplayer? I couldn't get that to work.
[Droid X Android Development] spiicytuna:
Agreed. A Nexus One was able to get this score in Quadrant:

: benchmarks are great, but usability, and how smooth the os feels, is key.
[Droid X Android Development] Joe92T:
After removing alot of bloatware and doing the stagefright hack (which hasent done anything negative to me yet.. pandora works fine) i consistently score 2100+ on quadrants

Funny that im using Launcherpro... have froyo... and have deleted all my bloat and i still get lag on the lock screen but nowere else
[Droid X Android Development] inzandity:
Naw as long as you change it something besides .apk you'll be fine. Just like on a windows device if you change .exe to .ex, it won't work.

I installed Swype on my Evo with froyo from a link from this forum the file name was com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk.
