[G1 Android Development] coferm:
I felt the same way. I've went back to CM4 and CM5 trying to find the right balance. I am now back on CM6 latest and I think I may have found the key to making my phone perform well.

Swap. On a G1 with Froyo it seems that swap is a must. Once I enabled swap my market issues (would return to home at random, especially when searching) and other weird issues went away (shortcuts to URLs wouldn't open he URL but just my homepage). Try swap before you completely bail out of CM6. Even running swap on FAT showed a lot of improvement. I have noticed though that after a couple of days my phone starts acting funny so I turn swap off (swapoff command from terminal) and then back on and things clear up.

Of course this is all my common observation but I really think swap changed CM6 on my G1 from too slow for everyday use to the best ROM there is. I really think with the extra RAM needed for Froyo there just isn't enough left for simple apps (market, browser, etc) to function correctly.

Super D 1.11 (aka 1.10.4) is quality and I'm so happily suprised at how fast it is :D

I had forgotten what it was like to own a phone that just well worked without hassle of lose of functionality. As pretty as Eclair and Froyo are they simply can't match a good donut.

Give it a try and use the Setup Up Guide for Donut in my sig a look, it was designed around Super D :)
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
i just went to Super-E cause all of the froyos are too slow for my taste and all seem to be based on CM6 so what's the point? Plus one of my fav devs, Ben isnt working on SuperF atm so im kind of sad about that. His was my fav but its discontinued :(. The battery on it is good and speed, not as quick on its feet as donut but gets the job done, plus still has some newer features.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thenewguy821:
Just a heads up, this has already been fixed/edited... In the other edit, it has been changed to reflect use on the Evo 4g, Shows as a 2.2 OS, and Also has been customized for various ROMs (Rather than show as "Custom ROM", the ROM name is listed) Just need to DL the right one for the ROM you are using....

Edited BIOS Bootscreen thread

But, Good work.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] akastixx:
crap!

EDIT: xda wasn't working for me yesterday, or i would have noticed. mine changes 4x more stuff though, and it makes it where it doesn't matter what froyo rom you use. i think someone should still convert this. i'll also get with that person so we can get this done.

EDIT: i figured it out. post 1 is updated.

I made a sound for this BIOS boot animation & it syncs perfectly with the animation (IMO).

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] akastixx:
That's cool, I may add your "droooid" clip to the end of mine sometime and give you credit. My sound is a 15 sec bootup, fans whirring, bios beep right when it shows froyo custom, disk searching sounds, and then it ends right when the android logo comes up. If I were to add yours to mine, I'd make it say "drooooid" right then. You can add it to mine and post it if you'd like, just please credit me.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] leeh41:
I checked both out. I like this one more with the changes you put in place.

One thing about this BIOS Screen is that its a bit fast. The "BIOS" loads so fast you cant read some of the changes.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] akastixx:
I agree with you there. In the future, I might make one with less Droid and more Bios.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] backdown:
I ran through your instructions, i am running Evio ROM and i used the Pushboot 2 bat file and i still do not have the custom bootscreen? I tried both of of the attached files..
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] kudosmog:
I can't get the audio to delete.

It installed just fine but won't remove. Can't find the files and errors out.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] akastixx:
You should have 3 zip files, pushboot.zip, bootanimation.zip, and SPC_animation_final.zip. Extract pushboot.zip to a new folder, unzip SPC_animation_final.zip into that same folder, and just place bootanimation.zip in that folder. Did any error pop up when you tried, and if so, what?

Try the silent mp3 in the attachment with whatever method you used to place the sound and animation in the 1st place. make sure there is only one mp3 in the folder. If that doesn't work, take a look at the thread with the script to upload the animation (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=701295) and see if there are any solutions, but the silent mp3 will probably work. Let me know.

Almost 100% Evo... At the bottom it says press Home to enter Setup.

This one says Hold Vol-Down + Power to enter Setup, and Initialisation changed to Initialization (for USA residents).

Changelog:

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Ep3n3wp:
Nice.. just wish it was easier to load in my phone.. why can't it be easy!!!! Lol
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] akastixx:
Yeah, it does seem like updating stuff on Android is a little harder than Windows Mobile, for instance.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Ep3n3wp:
Why can't it just be a zip!!! Great work though... There seems to be a bunch of new devs/tom cookers.. Hit them up..
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] akastixx:
The 1st and last time i tried to make something flashable, it bootlooped my device. I am tired of reinstalling/flashing for the time being, and wouldn't want to have anyone else go through it either.

All you have to do is download 2 or 3 files (loader, animation and/or sound). If you follow the instructions, it should take less than 5 minutes total from the time you are done downloading to the time your phone has the new animation running.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] EindhovenOne:
Updated for Fresh Evo 3.2.0.0 users!!!

First off, all credit goes to the OP for his work on the original animation!

Hey, all...this took me a little while but I updated the original animation so now it says "Fresh Evo v3.2.0.0" under the ROM section. I also changed the "Generic microSDHC " to "SanDisk microSDHC" and changed "FM Radio" back to "Compass" since I don't use the FM Radio at all. I also made the animation a bit longer to compensate for the slight wait you had between the end of the animation and the boot into the ROM...

I'll make updated longer ones for each ROM when I get the chance if the OP doesn't mind and doesn't beat me to it, but I wanted to take care of my Fresh Evo users first.

I also considered making separate ones for each size microSDHC card but that would take quite a while but we'll see.

In any case, here you go, Fresh Evo 3.2.0.0 updated BIOS boot animation...and as I stated in the first line, thank you akastixx for your work, sir.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] akastixx:
i don't mind at all. people have been editing and re-releasing this boot thing since at least the touch pro. i went with "custom" to appeal to the masses. i didn't feel like putting in the time for each rom that was out. i will link to your post. if you could just add any new ones to that post, we wont have to link to various posts.
[Wildfire General] sonsi:
Hi all,

I'm trying to put a font in my new wildfire so I'll be able to read stuff in Hebrew.

I tried this guide : https://sites.google.com/a/bardavid.com/android-g1/Home/adding-hebrew-fonts

to add the fonts to my htc, but I had a little problem.

When I tried to give to command su in the shell, it worked, but then I tried the:

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

and then it told me: mount: Operation not permitted.

I used the SoftRoot to get the root permission, but it did not help, as you can see.

If someone here has a better idea of getting root permission, or a way to get Hebrew fonts on my HTC, I'll be more than happy, since I feel like I bought a plastic box and not a smartphone.

One more question: When I go to settings in my cell, and check for updates - does the update check is made in my cell provider (which in my case is Orange), or does the update check is made somewhere over the net?

And is there a date for Froyo release to the wildfire?

thanks all, I really appreciate it!

[HD2 General] s32bauer:
Hi,

I've been having a problem with my HD2 over the last few days. It basically won't sleep. I press the power button, the screen comes back on a few seconds later. When it dims after 30 seconds, it then returns to full brightness pretty much straight away. It constantly disconnects and reconnects via USB, and sometimes even brings up the Navipanel.

I see there are people who have had similar issues who have posted recently.

I contacted HTC, one of the numbers the service was appalling, and I was told there was no point sending my phone off for repair as it would take three weeks to get back (?!).

Anyway, finally got through to someone who gave a damn, and he said there was a 'walk-in' repair centre in Milton Keynes. From what I can tell it seems to be their Head Office. I'm going to have to call them tomorrow to check, as they are closed today, but I was wondering if anyone else has even taken their phone there to be repaired. He has assured me that they can repair it whilst I wait!

I've put 026 on my phone twice now, with 2 seperate downloads (incase one was corrupt) but it always crashes apps, like timescape, the web browser, the market, even the uninstall app and many others...

Anyone else get this, or have a fix? I dont get it with 024, but would prefer to use 026 because it seems a little faster.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] arizhasan:
same thing happened to me after I stopped some of the apps from startup. that gave me about 180mb free though, but nearly all the apps were crashing, they were not force closing but simply vanishing. then I enabled everything while booting and everything was fine. so now am trying to stop one service or app one at a time to find which one of them is causing this.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Beanyness:
Hmm i dont have any app killer installed though... but i did have one installed before flashing. But flashing would have completely removed it?

The very first time i started the phone after going to 026 i got this crashing, which happens exactly how it does with you.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] arizhasan:
nope, very first time I installed 026 everything was fine, only issue I had was when I used the app "my backup pro" to restore my messages, contacts etc, somehow my phone started sending messages again, the same ones that I already had sent in the last 4 months,I had to delete all the threads quickly or there were about 2000 messages which could have been sent.

then I started with the boot manager and disabled nearly everything, that's when vanishing of the apps started, nothing before that. but I guess its working fine now. am only disabling apps I installed, not touching anything I don't know, phone seems to be working fine.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] fr.ankie:
I also experience this constant crashing of apps.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] arizhasan:
guys, try not to kill all the services, instead eliminate them one by one to find which one is crashing your phone. mine seems to be working fine now

[Android Software Development] mc_kibel:
Hello,

first of all, I'm a noob in Java. I'm trying to search and learn, but sometimes it's harder than it seems :p

I want to create an application to stop music on specified time - but the only problem at the moment is: how to stop music from code?

First screenshot: enter time, when music will be stopped, second: window after pressing 'Set' ("Muzyka zostanie wylaczona o" = "Music will be stopped at").

My friend showed me, where should I search:

github.com/android/platform_packages_apps_music/tree/master/src/com/android/music

Probably, the most interesting part is in IMediaPlaybackService.aidl (interface IMediaPlaybackService) and in MediaPlaybackActivity.java (in private void doPauseResume). But I don't know how to use that. Any help will be appreciated.

Regards :)
[Android Software Development] corruptor64:
are you looking to actually stop the player, or just mute the media sound?
[Android Software Development] evilkorn:
You can stop it with the Bluetooth commands like the CM6 lock screen.
[Android Software Development] mc_kibel:
I want to stop the player, idea of application is simple - I think that a lot of people like to listen the music before sleeping (including myself), I falled asleep while listening more than once (and more than twice... :p ). Run application, set time, then application will stop music after set time, it's gonna save some battery.

Can you explain a lil'bit more?
