I thought this was interesting.

The G2 is gonna sport a Adreno 205 GPU vs the 200 thats in the snapdragons now. Supposed to be 4 times faster than the 200. But still, does not beat our PowerVR SGX540.... Heres the article

Adreno 205

Now everyone knows that HTC G2 (also known as HTC Vision, HTC Vanguard, HTC G1 Blaze and HTC Desire Z) will feature Snapdragon MSM7230 chipset which uses Adreno 205.

Adreno 205 features:

Hardware-accelerated SVG and Adobe Flash®

Significant improvements in shader performance over Adreno 200 GPU

Streaming textures that can combine video, camera, SVG and other image surfaces with 3D graphics

Based on the early benchmark results, Adreno 205 is expected to be about four times faster than Adreno 200. Samsung's Hummingbird with PowerVR SGX540 is expected to beat Adreno 205 by a small margin, however. Still, given that nothing touches the performance of SGX540 today (that's right, iPhone 4 is not even close!), this is quite an improvement. Also, this thread proves that

Interesting to note that Adreno has hardware-accelerated support for Adobe Flash. Are we going to see much smoother movies in action on this platform?

Will Snapdragon QSD8x60 and QSD8672 use this GPU as well? Perhaps at a higher clock speed? These are dual-core chipsets running at 1.2GHz and 1.5GHz respectively. Rumored phones such as HTC Glacier (also known as HTC Emerald) and HTC Scorpion are expected to use these chipsets. If we are lucky, we may get to see some of these phones during 2010.

I'm looking for a lock screen that is like a calender list, I used to have this on my iphone and really want this quick list again
[Captivate Themes and Apps] darkamikaze:
best way I know is to get widgetLocker and get a calendar widget..

widgetLocker will probably be the best 2$ you'll spend.

As for the calendar widget there are dozens to choose from. I personally like Gemini Calendar as there are more options to set in the calendar in itself not to mention it has a variety of widget options from compact to large. etc. my 2c

Flashed with RUU of froyo after the update.zip failed (missing too many files like cityid) So its now back rooted and everything is working great from what I can tell. However I just mounted it to copy some files over to the SD card an noticed now 3 drives are there. The two normals, emmc and sdcard, plus a 3rd Virtual CDrom which what I assume is the install for 3g mobile hotspot or something.

So I really never plan on using that, anyone have an idea on how to remove that?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] INTREPID-NY:
Remove cdrom.iso to avoid being prompted to install Verzion/HTC hardware when the device is connected via USB. This is what the Virtuous ROM did. I have not tested this without the Virtuous ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=765447

Rogers magic in continuous reboot

I have a ROGERS MAGIC that is in continuous reboot. I Have to take the battery out to get it to power off. I have done a hard reboot but still have the same result.

My phone checks my email accounts and downloads onto my phone so I can read them. Then later when I check them on my Mac using Entourage it downloads them onto my Mac. On my BB as long as I read my emails on it then they stayed on my phone in addition to my Mac. This way I could still deal with the emails on my phone the next day. With my EVO they are gone as soon as it syncs. Is there a way to keep my emails on my phone with out having them deleted untill I want them gone? In Entourage it automatically deletes off serve which is what I want done. Thanks in advance!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibuddha:
I just had a couple of questions about the whole ROMS and how to install them. I have my Vibrant rooted but I'm still not 100% sure how to root. What I looked up online is the following:

1-Use ROM manager to download recover image.

2-Download ROM and save it on the SD.

3-Boot into recovery (1st question can I boot into recovery through ROM manager or do I have to do it the manual way?)

4-Select option reinstall packages which take you to the ClockWork Recovery

5-Wipe date from phone (2nd question I've heard about NANDROID back ups but what exactly are they and what do they do? If i make a nandroid back up then wipe will I still be able to restore my phone to its previous condition through this back up?

6-install .zip from SD and Voila you have ROM.

So aside from the two obvious questions I just want to know if I have the correct steps?

The help would be greatly appreciated thank you!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the3dman:
1) Yes Rom Manager will let you boot directly into clockwork recovery.

2) Yes Nandroid will make a complete backup of your phone software and apps installed, so when you restore a backup it will be the same as when you backed it up.

3) Make your nandroid before wiping anything! Other wise your steps are ok.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibuddha:
Awesome!! And I can make the nandroid back up from clock work right? Also can I move the back up to like a usb or do I have to keep it on the phone?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aksoutherland:
Yes, you use clockwork to make the nandroid bakup. And if you like you can store the backup on your USB drive. Just copy the folder over and you will be all good. You only have to have the backup on the phone if you intend to restore a backup.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kizer:
Whats great about Clockwork and Nandroid which works well with Clockwork is I have my stock rom all the way to my current. I just keep making backups and I restore if I want to compare. I have the following on my phone. ;)

Stock

Vibrant4

Vibrant5

Vibrant6

Vibrant7

When I get a Rom just the way I like it I make a backup of it so if/when I have to leave it and possibly come back to it I just flash it. Also I would recommend Titanium Backup so you can backup your apps and reload them even if you go back on a rom. Makes reloading settings easier in your apps too.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibuddha:
Ok, so I just made a back up using rom mangers back up rom feature, am I supposed to specifically look for something that says "nandroid"?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aksoutherland:
You will only see "nandroid" if you boot your phone into clockwork recovery.

And, no, you don't specifically need to look for it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trunkstar1:
Maybe I'm missing something, but wouldn't you want to keep your backup somewhere NOT on the phone? Because if you brick your phone, or corrupt it or something, wouldn't you have a tough time restoring with your backup file? I don't really get it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibuddha:
Well I've done it I tried out Eugenes Vibrant Hybrid ROM and it was nice but I'll just wait for something else later on. my only question is once you install a ROM i would have had to DL all my apps again which is gay...

anyway i used Rom manager to create my back up of my stock build after playing with Eugene's ROM for a bit I restored my back up like a G.

I LOVE ANDROID!!!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trunkstar1:
Nice work. I'm not quite there yet. So, you used ROM manager to restore to your nandroid backup?

Also, I think a lot of people use titanium back-up to back up all their apps.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jshuford:
Dang...

Thanks for the post! Now I remember how I did it!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibuddha:
Yeah, I loaded Eugene's ROM and played around with out a bit, then I downloaded rom manager from the market and restored the back up I saved on my sd. It was quick and painless. :-)

Glad I could help although I'm not sure how I did but sweet. I thought titanium back up was just another way of doing the back up stuff.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jshuford:
Well...

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lqaddict:
1. Make a nandroid backup using clockworkrecoverymod.

2. Copy the entire backup directory to your PC for "just in case" scenarios.

3. Make a backup of your user installed apps using Titanium backup, and copy it over to your PC.

4. Download the ROM (i.e. Eugene's Vibrant9.zip) to your internal SD card.

5. Boot into clockworkrecovery (I use ROM Manager for that)

6. Install ROM.zip from SD card

7. Reboot into normal boot.

8. Verify the basic functionality of the phone, and make sure your satisfaction level goes a notch up.

9. Download Titanium backup from the market and install it.

10. Restore Titanium backup.

11. Crack a beer, enjoy your accomplishments, and DO NOT ask when CM6 comes rolling around :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GameOver69:
In regards to titanium backup... do you need the DONATE version to restore the apps properly. OR will they restore with all our data, but just not link the market? Thanks in advance!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcontrol:
Any way to get into clockwork recovery without rom manager or if the phone isn't booting up at all? I guess I could always leave an update.zip of clockwork mod on the phone. Is that what everyone else does?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lqaddict:
I have a paid version, I don't think you would need the full version to properly restore the backup. I used it once to flash a different ROM, and I didn't have to re-purchase Titanium Backup again, I don't believe so.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibuddha:
Well every one tells me that the paid version of titanium is better because it updates your apps straight from the market or something like that. I just downloaded the paid version so I'll let you know how that works out.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lqaddict:
You can also pack the backed up user apps into update.zip and re-install the packages from the recovery, so no need to re-download the Titanium Backup, it should be there once you re-install packages from the recovery after booting into your new ROM.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibuddha:
Nice. Where would you put it?

Sent from my EFFIN' AWESOME Samsung Galaxy S/Vibrant
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lqaddict:
In the Titanium back up menu there is an option to create an update.zip for user apps. Once it is done it places it onto your /sdcard/TitaniumBackup directory as something.zip (you have an option name it during the operation), you can rename it to update.zip and put it in the root of your filesystem on the phone, reboot into stock recovery and re-install the packages.

Nandroid Backup

Guys need a little help. I did a nandroid backup the other day....all options....finished 100%. Well when i went to restore the rom...all my stuff was there (apps) but all my setting/app settings did not get restored. I read something on here that you need to un-mount all partitions before is this true? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

thanks
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trunkstar1:
What exactly IS that update.zip file? It's just a set of apps?

So, if you name a file "update.zip" and put it in the root folder, then boot into recovery and select "reinstall packages"... it will just load apps?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibuddha:
Ok over last question.

I'm going to install a ROM I already made my nandroid back up and I also backed up my apps with titanium. I just wanted to ask you if when I download the .zip to my sd and im in recovery some one told me that I should do a system wipe to make sure things go smoothly, well I'm afraid that if I make backups obviously when I do a system wipe I'm afraid I'll lose my backups too.

Ok I have this thread front to back and I want to make sure that I have all the steps right.

1) Install Rom Manager

2)Open Rom Manager and press Backup Current ROM

3)Put the ROM of my choice onto my SD card still as a .zip file

4)Press Flash ClockworkMod Recovery

5)Press Reboot into Recovery

6)When in recovery mode, select Reinstall Packages

7)When clockworkmod comes up, select Wipe Data / Factory reset, then Yes

8)Then select Install Zip from SD Card > Choose Zip from SD Card >Select the ROM I just put on the sd card

That should be it right? I am planing on using the Froyo JPM R1 ROM.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icandy75:
Yes you are correct. When it first boots back up to your new rom I suggest you let it sit for 15 min reboot then put your info. These Froyo roms take time to set in properly.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aksoutherland:
You are very close, but, you have a couple of steps out of sync, I would perform the steps in the following sequence:

1. Install Rom Manager

2. Open ROM Manager, then Press Flash ClockworkMod Recovery

3. Press Reboot into Recovery

4. When in recovery mode, select Reinstall Packages

Boot back into the OS

5. Open Rom Manager and press Backup Current ROM

The phone will reboot into clockwork and perform a nandroid backup.

When this completes, the phone will boot back into Android.

Reboot back into recovery,

6. Then clockworkmod comes up, select Wipe Data / Factory reset, then Yes

7. Then select Install Zip from SD Card > Choose Zip from SD Card >Select the ROM I just put on the sd card
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
^ why would you say to do a factory reset???

Also, after you reinstall packages, you can just use the volume keys to go to backup you system, no need to reboot, go to RM and then create the backup to take you where you already were.

All of these steps are in the sticky (in my signature).
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demobot:

I am currently running windows 7 ultimate 64 bit. Whenever I try to mount the phone via SD on my PC, either 1 of 3 things happens: It detects the SD temporarily, then says the entire card has 0 bytes available, and 0 b total. 2. It recognizes the device normally, 14.7 gb available or whatnot, but whenever I try to drop an item on the SD, it stays in the "discovering...moving..." state permanently. 3. It doesn't detect the SD card at all.

I know I'm not the only one with this issue seeing as how I called sprint and they said it's going rampant with calls about the same issue. I've also seen it on other boards such as:
