Rooted 2.1 with stock Blur launcher only modified to have glowing borders.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] cadillac6661:
Yeah here too... When I've tried to use it it says need to "Make the widget larger to add more tasks"...

Sent from my DROIDX cause it's got the GBs and the Wifis
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Explodee:
Is it the widget that's crapping out? Or something else?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] meshdub:
So what if you long press on it and drag the border to make it larger? I have it disabled, so can't check...
[Droid X Themes and Apps] mcmexican:
I had the same issue with the widgets. What compoundedthe issue was I started using ADW and lost the motorola widgets. I found a app called Bettercut that let me put direct dial or text right on the desktop with the contact picture. Works great and I can add direct text shortcuts which is something I use a lot. Best 2 bucks I spent :)
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Explodee:
It just makes the blank blue contact picture larger.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] meshdub:
Are you using custom launcher or Blur? It might not be playing nice with a custom one...
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Explodee:
I'm using Blur with colored png's. And Bettercut is basically the same thing as the shortcut widgets.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] meshdub:
eh just saw you said that earlier in the thread, sorry..
[Droid X Themes and Apps] srh.pres.usx:
I get the same problem when I try to use the moto contact widget while running ADW Launcher. When I revert to stock Blur, it works fine. Chances are the minor theming to BlurHome that you did, might make it think its not stock and therefore wont work? just a guess...
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Explodee:
Flashing SBF and re-pushing my modified Blur makes the widgets work now. I don't know why they were crapping out on me...
[Droid X Themes and Apps] monkespit:
You probably have the contact linked and its not pulling the pic. I had that problem with most of my contacts linked to fbook profile. The only way I could save a pic to the phone contact was to unlink the contact, add pic, then when I used in a widget it would have photo or not be blank.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Explodee:
Nope, none of my contacts are linked to Bookface. Only my Google account. And it would blank out every contact I tried to put on the screen. But like I said, the SBF flash fixed it. I don't know why that happened because I put my themed BlurHome back on the phone and the contact widgets are still working. Same thing was happening with the news widget too.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Wykedx:
Anybody know where I can find a apk file for friendstream that works on the vibrant?

I am using LP and it appears that I can't use my samsung widgets (if anyone knows how I can utilize the feeds and updates widget with LP please let me know).

I have downloaded some friendstream.apk files from different parts of the forums but they weren't installable so any help would be great!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] speoples20:
You can't use TW widgets with LP.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Wykedx:
dang, i figured but I really want to be able to use some sort of social aggregator so I am lookinig for a friendstream apk at least.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Anderdroid:
Try Socialite or just use the Facebook app
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] rogerchew:
socialite isn't in the market place. i too liked the friendstream widget on TW.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] bdveteran18:
Use the T-Mobile Social Buzz app. It integrates Facebook, Twitter and Myspace into one. It doesn't have a Widget but it has notifications that you can manually set intervals for. Check it out!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] chaoscentral:
next version of launcher pro plus will have a friendstream type widget. but you wont be able to use friendstream either since thats a sense widget
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] bdveteran18:
Now that will something nice :-)
[Vibrant General] Demiurgic:
I got the vibrant about 2wks ago and using the speedtest app I was getting about 2-3Mbps at my house and other places in San Antonio; but now all I get is .05Mbps at my house and max of 1Mbps if I'm lucky when out and about. I called T-mo but they gave me standard line of depends on location and type of phone etc...but using same phone from same location my 3g should drop so much right? heck if I turn it to 2G only mode I get better speeds, and I have only used about 1.5Gb of data so far. Also when using speedtest app it seems to get my location wrong could the bad GPS be screwing with my 3G speeds? Any one else experience anything similar?
[Vibrant General] Whoflungpoo?:
I too have encountered this, I'm in Birmingham, tried speed test shortly after they launched HSDPA and got ~ 2.5 megs down, but here lately I MAY get 1 meg.
[Vibrant General] PhilSlater:
My phone is returned waiting on a GPS fix or HS phone, but my buddy with a 3G Touch got between 1000 and 3000 at a fixed location, 4 tests in about 5 minutes. Very strange. Verizon was 300-500. AT&T was 900-1500. Tried a couple different speed tests, dslreports & mobilespeedtest.
[General Topics] freqflyer:
I broke the screen on my HTC Touch Pro2. I called Asurion to get a replacement phone. They said the Touch Pro2 wasn't available and that the HTC Imagio XV6975 is the replacement for it.. I told them that I wanted a phone with a slide out keyboard and they offered me a LG fathom. I asked what else was available and they said that those were the only two. I asked if they I didn't want them if they would refund my premiums. They said no and that they would find another phone for me. I told them I needed to think about it.

What can I suggest they give me? It appears they are more flexible than they let on.

Is there a site anywhere that lists what they give out?
[General Topics] ridecar2:
It would help if you gave us a bit more info I think. You say that you want a slide out keyboard so that ruled the Imagio out straight away. What is it that the LG Fathom does not provide that the TP2 does for you? This may help us in suggesting better alternatives.
[General Topics] freqflyer:
I'm not asking so much for a suggestion for a new phone as I am asking for what I can get out of Asurion.

As for the Fathom. Frankly, it looks ugly.

If they hold me to one of these two phones. What would recommend?

Is texting that difficult with the Iamgio on screen keyboard?

The one must have for me is tethering. I currently us WIFI router. This is the only internet I have at my house and I watch a lot of netflix through tethering the phone to my laptop and the laptop to the TV.
[General Topics] Mackattack:
Doesn't the Fathom have a 1ghz snapdragon cpu, world phone capability, 3.5mm jack, and a screen that is nice to use. That cpu alone might make it worth it.
[General Topics] freqflyer:
It does have a 1 gig processor and seems to be a good phone. However, it doesn't have Touch Flo 3D. Actually it doesn't have any input overlay on it. It's straight windows, which is boring and not to functional.

Are there a good variety of overlays I could put on it. Even touch flo? My only experience with doing that was with an overlay that looked like the iphone.

I also thought the phone might be worth alot to sell. I'm out of contract right now and can upgrade too.
[General Topics] RADRaze2KX:
any update on this? My Touch Pro 2 has been freaking out lately and it's slowly getting worse. I'm not even using Touch Flo, I like the simplicity of the Windows 6.5 interface, and the last update from HTC to upgrade to Touch Flo 2.5 might as well have bricked the phone because it did all but. I've been eyeing the Epic because I need a keyboard but have never tried Android outside of the store models. I'm done with HTC after this phone, the original T-Mo Dash was amazing... then I switched to Sprint with an HTC Mogul, then the Touch Pro, and now the Touch Pro 2... every ... phone... has had the "Suspension of Death" or whatever, where you have to yank the battery out to get device to power off, the you have to put the battery back in and boot it. I'm so tired of this, even the TWO Android phone my friend had encountered the same issue, so it's NOT windows, or the programs I'm installing... Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love my HTC phones when they're working correctly... but every time it dies, I want throw it against the wall. So, what other options were you given?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdtylert:
I have rooted my vibrant and have only used metamorph to have a evo top bar and have lag fixed my phone I was wondering if I could still receive an official update for 2.2 once it is out.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zaduma:
Yes rooting doesn't affect OTA. Metamorph could possibly break, I don't see why however.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bdveteran18:
Yeah you should be perfectly fine with that. Getting more in depth with rooting could potentially cause your phone not to update ota, but there really isn't a need to worry about that if you've only touched those two things.

Happy rooting :-)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattiadj:
Hello to all,

I have tried the opendesire Rom and it's really really fast and is the best I think for gaming but I love sense, his widget, and better application such as calendar,

Music player, camera app dialer and Facebook integration with contact!

So my question is if is possible and how make a non sense Rom like sense with almost or all features of sense.theme style included of course.

Thanks to all
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jagdish84:
Launcher pro + has some identical widgets, you can try n use it instead...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tainted:
How about a sense ROm without the keyboard, txt, contact and phone app. Leave those stock Android and hopefully have the Sense widgets.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danifamous:
So you want a very fast stable rom but has sense?

OD with launcherpro is proberly nearest. HTC havent released alot of the froyo source codes (for Desire) so most of the optimisations are just from a base Sense rom.

This means, there isn't alot of tuning ie. UVOC.

Can result in alot of bugs. Like removing the filling from a cake. Gonna get a bit messy.

Pinky's rom is the one i'm using atm, based on MCR if i remember....

Very stable, fast. Some issues with battery, but a bit of tuning to setCPU and your fine.

Apart from that, it does the job nicely.

I've been switching between Pinkys and OD lately. Just cant live without the sense camera, the dialer, and the incoming call screen. But OD does have the speed, battery life, stability and is a bit more "open" thanks to google passing out source codes with every happymeal. :)

Also, both OD and Pinky have updates available through RomManager, so you can always stay up to date ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattiadj:
Now I have nextsense Rom and is very fast but is impossible to oc and don't have the gpu drivers that in most case can make the difference when playing heavy and not optimized games.

But I really don't like vanilla theme of od!!!and HTC has made a wonderful job with their app such as camera contacts calendar etc etc....

So it's a very big hard choice!

Whit launcherpro what can I do?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ngay29:
Same here. Can't live with out HTC apps. But got a big problem with battery life while using sense roms.

What i am looking for is a Sense Rom with the best battery life? Anyone can suggest one?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryanrich:
Give Pays a try, with the radio version in my sig. I'm finding it very good...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtcislove:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twist1234:
Whats your avg battery life with usage?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryanrich:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] webber2109:
care to describe your heavy usage pattern?

Hi,

I have recently rooted my Magic 32A and installed CM5.0.8, which I'm happy with after stock Android 1.5 :) but I was wondering...

Is CM6 RC3 going to improve the performance of some of the apps because of the Java acceleration? Is it stable enough to try?

Anybody can suggest a better keyboard that I could use...default Android one is not that great.

Thanks!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Smart Keyboard is freaking awesome, but it's not free. It's $2.53 in the market.

As for CM6. I've tried all three RC's plus a random few nightlies, and it's always been slower than 5.0.8. Seems to lag anytime I'm switching betweens programs, flicking through the home screens, etc. Doesn't seem to be too bad while actually running applications, just a pain in the butt to get them going.

With that being said, don't take my word for it. The easiest way to find out is to make a Nandroid backup, flash CM6, and if you don't like it, just restore your Nandroid backup.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] alex_canada:
Thanks DonJuan692006! I really value the opinion of people who have tried it before me.

I was thinking CM6 should be faster...but maybe it's not because it's still RC.

As for the keyboard I would buy the one you suggested (actually never bought anything on Android yet so I'm curious of the process), but my question is...is that better than Swype? What are the advantages of Smart Keyboard? I think I found some other ones to buy too...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Smart keyboard for me is just a millions times more responsive than the Android keyboard. It also compensates for people who's fingers are bigger than the keys better. I know there are other keyboards available but I bought it based off the reviews.

Swype was really accurate when I was using it, but I found that right after I would clean the screen it was really too hard to drag my finger across the screen and even got to the point that my thumb would start to hurt. I quit using it all together once that started happening. But its all a matter of opinion. The good thing is that everything you buy in the market can be refunded within 24 hours, so just grab it first thing in the morning and use it through the day. If you don't like it, get a refund. I've done it for several apps in the past.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] razor813:
i think the problem lies within the launcher. No matter what kind of launcher you use, it still not fast like the stock launcher from 1.6 donut. Thats the real problem. Why do we have to look the same to Nexus One? Can anyone here create a simpliest rom with almost no addition-ware (i.e. launcher and gallery 3d), see if it improve performance and battery? lets make a petition shall we ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] WoblyGoblin:
I have installed CM6 it is runnung a bit faster,but as it was said those few bugs with luncher are not really problems for me,it is great.But ofc there is a battery comsuption problem it is leeching your battery
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] goncharov90:
I am using the HTC HD2 phone running stock software with no modifications.

I installed Android 2.2 Froyo in the root directory of my SD Card. After powering down my phone I had tried running android again with no luck. I keep getting this message when I try to open Haret.exe.

"The file 'HARET' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists try reinstalling or resorting the file."

I have tried formatting my SD card and uploading android again but I still get the same message. Please HELP! :confused:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] toddsk:
i'm getting this exact error...except my HD2 successfully booted android the first time only. now, no matter what i try will work...even a different card. ???? is the folder "android" supposed to contain haret etc. in the root?

Just re-name it android.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] toddsk:
i figured it out

i kept having the folder "android" ending up on the root. you have to extract the contents of this folder, then move the 7 files to the root....that solved the primary issue.
[Droid Incredible General] ufvj217:
can i make multiple nandroid backup's, for instance one from cyanogenmod's rom, then wipe and flash SkyRaider's rom, back up that, then if i want, can i wipe and restore to cyanogen's backup, and then go back to skyraider if i ever wanted to? or does it not work that way?
[Droid Incredible General] rei165:
I do believe you're able to do that. When you go into the nandroid menu for restore you cab have multiple restore points.
[Droid Incredible General] russell5:
Yes you can make as many backups as your sd card can fit and restore them whenever you want.

sounds good, thats what i was looking to hear!

Hey, thanks for the new section! This is much needed for Android and the HD2. It was frustrating to check in the Development section and have to sift over countless threads that didnt have anything to do with Development. This is a much needed section, and again, thanks.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] polo735:
Yes, it is good that the android dev section won't be too cluttered. However, I hope the general section doesn't become full of a bunch of repetitive questions that could easily be answered by searching.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] telegraph0000:
I know it has its imperfections...I played with a droid a little while back and liked the widget aspect...but is it worth even trying to see how the hd2 works with it.?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] maerdance:
are you serious?!

ok, may be you're really not knowing better. let's grab your own words first, widgets, or better applikations in generell. every of them I tested myself so far(and those were legions... = ) ran smoove, fast und didn't ever influence any other part of the system in performance and stability in a negative way.

more, the android apps in the first place show the potential of our favorite device.

everything I used in WM, I now have a notch enough better and, that's the best, I got 1000x more ; ), 1000x more style, 1000x more flow, 1000x more effectivity

and I never need cosmetics like sense anymore

and by the way, a freeze a day, that's yesterday. if android reboots, I tell him before

it's worth it, it solves it!

I think touch Flo is great and without it winmo would have been hell. However imho android is in a different league in terms of apps, ease of use and eye candy.

yes, junior, I am being serious---as I have been Sense all since the beginnings...thanks for your 2 cents...I'll take a dive and check it out.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jelliottz:
I still enjoy using WinMo, but I can't deny how great Android is. It meets all of my expectations and without all of the tweaking that had to be done in WinMo.

Sense UI ontop of 6.5.x kept the system modern, but it wasn't enough for me. I bought the HD2 because I wanted the top of the line WinMo phone. Now I have the top of the line WinMo and Android phone bundled together. Sad to say it, but once WiFi tether is up and running I will completely phase out anything but Android. The underlying core is as important as the clothes you put on it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Ducter:
Give it a try, you wont be disappointed. I wasnt a WinMo user, I have had Androids since the G1 came out, Blackberry devices prior to that, matter of fact I had pre-ordered my G1. After the G1 I went to the Nexus when it came out, but was keeping a close eye on the HD2 progress as I really liked the phone but really disliked WinMo lol, anyways, I sold my nexus and got a netbook and a HD2 for what I sold my Nexus for..cant beat that.

Android on the HD2 is not as fluent as my Nexus was but its pretty close. If you like WinMo then give Android a shot, its so much more. It has apps for just about everything you could think of and a great majority of them are free or a buck or two.

The ecosystem of Android offers so much over that of WinMo, first off Microsoft has all but forgotten the existence of anything related to 6.5 and has moved on to 7, with that so have most of your developers. The HD2 with WinMo is all but dead, yet its still a decent phone..breathe some life into it and see what that little green robot can do for you :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] callmecooper:
I have been an Android user since Late 2008. I was an early adopter with the G1. And i used my G1 up until I bought my HD2, and the only reason i purchased it was because i wanted to take a gamble to see if the devs could get android running on it.

Look at the progress that they have gotten done on it. Big props to them. If you lived anywhere near me, i would take you out for many beers. :)

Touchflo was fine, as long as you have never used android before. which a lot of people who were only winmo users are starting to figure out.

Dual Boot Preference

I have been an avid WinMo user since the Wing all the way up to the HD2. I will say since the Android platform has been ported onto the HD2 hardware I have been thoroughly impressed with Android and more disinterested in WinMo. My only issue with the dual boot is that if Android fails I cannot reboot back into it without a "root.fs" failure. Which means I have to delete all trace files on my sd card and start all over. Can someone please let me know what I am doing wrong and PM me because I may not get to read your post in time.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] filou75:
I use Android on my HD2 since the first release.

I couldn't go back to sense/winmo.

It's like I had a new phone ^^

The early releases freezed, chrashed, but *the late ones are right for daily usage.

(just use the right light winmo rom, the right radio, and disable the g-sensor)

The only sad part is, you'll need to boot on winmo to access your SD and copy files.

Well, for now 'till it's fixed ;)

Android is so... ... I can't describe it, try it ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Susasama:
I was days, if not hours away from selling my HD2 cause i was bored of WM, i had tried every ROM out there, and sure it's a great phone as is. But for me i needed something more. Now that i have android on my device, IMHO I have the best device on the market. Period. It is EXACTLY what i was looking for in a phone. I can even go back into windows if i need something.
