[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sleepwalkers:
Maybe some info on this should be dug up and added to the OP (if it isn't already - sorry if it is, though):

Just because it's listed in a task killer DOES NOT mean it is a full-fledged application taking CPU cycles or sucking down battery!

If you run an automatic task killer and set an alarm in the stock clock app, and have had it not sound the alarm, even though you're 110% positive you set one... The task killer is the reason it didn't go off.

The clock.apk has a background service, simply waiting for the proper time to trigger the app and set off the alarm. It's not the full Clock.apk running in the background, just a monitor. Automatic task killers will kill this process, and in turn kill your alarm.

Not everything you see listed in a task killer is a full-fledged app, stealing CPU cycles and eating up RAM. Android is smart enough to manage memory on its own. Seriously.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MvP77:
Very well put. I added more info in my previous post. Will edit the first post when I'm home from work.

The problem is no one seems to read anymore lol.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hazard99:
That and maybe the fact that they are so use to winmo that not using a task killer doesnt make sense.

I am pretty sure that people would use task killers in webos lol.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MvP77:
Maybe so. But just looking through the forums and seeing the same question over and over its obvious people want instant answers. I been trolling around xda since '06 or '07 and I have never seen it like this.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hazard99:
Ever seen that movie idocracy. That movie is perfect example of what our world will soon be.

It has gotten bad it seems to be that many are fustrated with the hd2. I know in my area a lot of people had sidekicks and they changed over so people are looking for quick answers.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JoonatanO:
I was gonna make this thread... Guess someone beat me to it!

OP is right, don't use friggin taskkillers, they make your phone unstable, slow and useless.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hazard99:
but but If i pew pew the apps It will make my battery last longer!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] russsauntry:
OK, ATK is gone, please let this work, i love killing Apps every 3 minutes
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] polo735:
I just had a thought. Maybe google is suggesting we don't use task killers so that our data is constantly flying around in the background. I'm sure that all the "google is big brother" conspiracy theorists would suggest that google likes having our data always on tap.

Any thoughts?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MvP77:
I dont think so. If they did they would not allow you to turn off any syncing.

Wanted to move this to the head of the class
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dimitrico:
I have a LG p500 and used task manager, check battery and then not using task manager. I didn't notice increasing of battery life and most of the times the apps came again. So i stopped using task manager since Froyo can handle it and when you are in Idle, apps go idle as well.

Just disable some services like 3g, gps. wifi when you don't need anymore.
[EVO 4G General] Philosuffer:
This was featured on the XDA Homepage a few days ago, but the developer just confirmed that it should work for any flashable zip, and *should* work on any phone.

Thought I would give the heads up here.

Could fix random Force Closes/Bootloops that people get even when they had wiped multiple times before flashing a new ROM.

Edit: See post 3 in this thread for my results.
[EVO 4G General] stanglifemike:
This should save a few headaches, but I think most issues are caused with people not wiping....this wont be able to fix that.
[EVO 4G General] Philosuffer:
Well, I finally put this utility to the test and here are my results.

Wiped Data/Cache/Dalvik, flashed BakedSnack 1.6 and immediately ran FixFlash. Here's my output:

Awesome tool btw, thanx for posting this!
[EVO 4G General] rjmjr69:
ok I dont understand this

3. Copy both the original .zip file and the extracted folder of the .zip to the root of your sdcard

???? what is the extracted folder? theres multiple folders inside a rom zip?
[EVO 4G General] Philosuffer:
Say your rom is BakedSnack1.6.zip, extract the contents to a folder called BakedSnack1.6 and place that folder on the root of your sdcard.

Make sense? Not sure how else to explain it.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Denizzje:
Hello,

Since I updated to the new firmware over KIES, I can't use any internet browser. Neither the standard Android one, nor Skyfire or Dolphin and stuff. Everytime it loads a page (doesn't matter which one), the browser crashes 'unexpecidtly'. It mostly crashes at 1/4th of loading the page, sometimes the page is almost completly loaded. Is there maybe a quick fix for this?

Thanks,

Dennis

For now, I'm just looking for recommendations on what bluetooth head unit works good. I'm going to go shopping this weekend.

But feel free to post your happy/unhappy stories/reviews about bluetooth head units with the Captivate.

Thanks.

FWIW Only slightly related: my Ghetto setup with the MOTOROKR T505 worked good with Captivate, fast handshake as long as bluetooth left on all the time with both devices. But I now have decided I need native integration into an aftermarket stereo.
[Captivate Accessories] ranova:
I have an older Pioneer and the A2DP works great for streaming music, system sounds, navigation, etcs.

Calling on the telephone works great, no issues here.

There are two single DIN units out for this year:

Has someone tried the Pioneer FH-P8000BT? I uderstand it's a nice option but don't know if it works ok with Galaxy S's.

Also, is any of the head units mentioned above able to dial by voice? Is it functional?

[Captivate Accessories] ScottyNuttz:
I have had the Pioneer FH-P8000BT for a year or so. I am transitioning from a Zune, and have found the BT audio to be good on the Captivate, and the utit itself matches the phone perfectly. I haven't played with calling too much, but it worked fine on a couple of WM phones that i used. It has a USB out in the back, but I have not yet tried plugging it in with a micro USB (I'm waiting for a right angle micro-USB cable so that its a little more low-pro).

[Droid X Themes and Apps] tx3kgtman:
Well I tried to change the slider colors in my framework.apk last night. I used root explorer to place the new framework.apk and rebooted and went into boot loop. After sbf and everything I don't think ill try again lol. Im running 2.2 flyX 0.1 final with bignadad's theme.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Corey@rabbit:
you crashed because you used root explorer, it wont work that way. Have to push it with term emu or update.zip.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] tx3kgtman:
ok so if I modify my framework apk and push it with these commands it should work?

su

mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system

cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework

mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system

reboot

Do I have to mess with the services.jar?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Corey@rabbit:
that will work, as long as you only dropped the editied pngs into the already compiled fram.apk. Dont unzip an apk!

Also it will reboot before you can remount.

if your going from a light status bar to dark one then you will need someones services file. so before cp/framework do a cp /services command.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] tx3kgtman:
ok all im changing is the lock bars. If it reboots before I remount do I need to finish the remount after it boots up?

Any way u could theme "ringer control widget" and "moto torch led" to toggle in red too. I cm put the apks up for u if u need them. If not they are in market. Thanks.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SimsDelt:
Im gonna put up the apks for u tomorrow. Shouldn't be hard. I just don't know what to do when it comes to theming. The moto torch I use has a custom widget icon made by Fabolous (theme designer from Reolution and NEXTheme) and I couldn't find the ringer control widget in market. So I will zip them and put them both up here tomorrow.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Corey@rabbit:
is the ringer widget, dazzle widget? That ones on my to-do list. if its not that one post the apk and tell me exactly which part needs to be changed. Might take me a day or two, i still have a few custom swypes im working on plus my own stuff :D
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SimsDelt:
Here's the two apks in a zip file. I need the toggles on them set to the same red you have in your theme. I hope it won't be too difficult. Thanks. I will attach a pic of my main screen too so you can see (this is a pic of before your theme, the two widgets are on the sides of the battery life widget, need that green toggle turned to red).Files I need Themed

[Droid X Themes and Apps] Corey@rabbit:
Are you talking about for launcherpro?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SimsDelt:
Just those 2 icons I requested. I use launcher pro. But it looks weird to have 3 of the icons red and 2 in text like I have in my screenshot. Talking about the dock at the bottom. Currently have ur red.app drawer icon and the rest are still the text like above.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SimsDelt:
Try to make myself a little more clear. I currently use your red and black app drawer icon. I would like to use the handcent and browerser Icons you made in your third post. That would leave me still needing a Dialer icon and a Contacts icon to match the others that you have made. Hope that cleared it up some.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Corey@rabbit:
just a few rough ones
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SimsDelt:
Those are a great start... the phone one and the upper torso one would be great if they matched the ones from your third post. Once you get them finished I'll put them on and take a screenshot... gonna look tight.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SimsDelt:
Here are the icons I worked on... the are simple... but based directly off your hue of red in the toggles you've made. The phone icons looks a little jacked up here... but when its placed on the dock and its auto centered by the dock it looks great.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SimsDelt:
Also... here is a red icon pack that I've edited some to make my phone look better.

I did not create all of these... but I did some using the template provided in the zip. All are red icons. Looks sweet.
