Compliments of midri

Those of you getting slugish results need to update their ADW settings (the defaults suck)

1) Screen Preferences - Desktop scrolling speed - set to something low-ish like 150-200, default settings are just plain moronic here. Desktop overshoot should be fine at 30 or 40.

2) Drawer Settings - Horizontal Drawer definite on (this is far superior to the scrolling drawer if you have more than a few apps, and feels much smoother).

3) Drawer Settings - Zoom effect speed - 400 is a decent setting, default was way too high.

4) Drawer Settings - Columns/Rows - 4x4 is a nice setting for portrait, if you don't like a crammed screen.

5) System Preferences - Wallpaper Hack - check this. If you have issues, change wallpapers to something of a sane size.

6) System Preferences - Use Screen Cache - check this.

7) System Preferences - Scrollable Widget support - you should start with this unchecked. Only check it if you have issues with some widgets. In my experience it didn't make a huge difference in performance or smoothness.

I run my speed at 50, it snaps back and forth very fast.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBiles:
Still horrible. :(
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firemedic1343:
Works perfect for me. ADW runs just as fast as Launcher Pro, but with more customizations that I use :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBiles:
I'm also using LCD Density Changer, but that made no difference on Fresh.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamdroid:
different apps/ROM's respond differently in combination with each other. if things performed better in Fresh and nothing seems to address your issues, you may have to go back to Fresh or give up ADW.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBiles:
I installed the Market version, and it is back to butter. I don't know what is up with the included one.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dangambino:
I wish i could tell you why yours isnt performing, or maybe your expectations are too high. but adw launcher is good enough to be included in CM 6 as the stock and ONLY launcher. Anyway, I beleive you are in the minority. Watching since adw was released, the advandces and features that have been added make it in a league of its own. imo
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dangambino:
ahhhhhhhhhh! so it doesnt perform like ass!!!!!!! lol

come on man
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBiles:
No, the included one still fails massively with the exact same settings as the Market version. The Market version is super zippy.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeremiah239:
I have a custom splash screen flashed now and I have 2 roms (Fresh and CM6) I nandroid restore between depending on my mood. Now for my question I flashed my custom splash on Fresh will it stay if I restore to CM6 or is that something that is backed up and I would have to make a new back up of Fresh and then restore to CM6 and flash the splash in CM6? Sorry if its a bit confusing.

Edit: Ok I just backed up and restored and it stayed.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilyheather2010:
when i was flashing my splash it stayed no matter wat rom i flashed i never backed up

and ive done a data factory reset before zand my custom splash was still there

only have a ran a sprint ruu and it took it off but it also unrooted my phone to

i dont think it matters about roms
[EVO 4G General] martyzidek:
Im running CM6 and running into problems. I have done the push and pull on advanced and terminal. I ended up with no boot screen just the white screen with HTC evo 4g. So I tried and bought root explorer. I did rename the zips to bootanimation.zip and tried 2 seperate ones and can't get it to work.

I dis a nand restore and got the roms boot screen back up. Then I looked at where was said to put the zip and none of them had the zip. Just the /system/media has it. I was told to put it in /data/local/, /system/media, /system/custom. Each place I read was different. So I tried all three. Since I did a recover I don't have /system/custom anymore.

Anyways I looked through every folder and /system/media is the only one that had the zip. So I put a "f" after the zip when I renamed and didn't delete it if something goes wrong. I placed my custom one I downloaded of the sticky. Reboot and it had a boot screen different than the one I installed. Saidel android with a light glare going across the words. Deleted the custom zip and changed old zip back. Have no bootscreen now.
[EVO 4G General] martyzidek:
I can't seem to get my custom boot screens to work. When I do advanced or terminal I get no errors or anything.. everything goes smooth like butter to I try to see if it works and never does. Is this a problem with cm6? Anyone else on cm6 have a custom bootscreen to work? Are there certain ones that work only on 2.2 or 2.1? I tried the android pissing on the iPhone apple and the dancing android. Both didn't work. Still have no boot screen other than the white evolution 4g one.
[EVO 4G General] martyzidek:
I tried the bootanimation.zip for the Droid that he had on the post using adb. That worked the first time. Not sure why the other 2 wouldn't work but now have a boot screen :)

How would I go about changing the colors of the text in Latitude? I'm guessing that I would have to edit the XML, but I wasn't really too sure what was going on when I opened it up in a Hex Editor.

[Android Themes] JAguirre1231:
As the other poster said, use apktool (apktool d *apk* *directory*). This will decompile the apk into human legible text, which you can then edit (I'm assuming the widget text will be kept somewhere in re/layout). After making your changes, recompile using apktool (apktool b *directory*), place the changed xml in the metamorph. Done
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s197:
Looking for those of you who know what is a safe operating temperature for these qualcomm processors. With the kingklick kernel overclocked, the CPU can get hot quickly and I'd rather not fry my chip for a measley 10% speed increase.

So... I want to put some failsafes in. Right now I have it so my CPU will revert back to the stock 1ghz when it hits 40 degrees celcius, which is fairly easy to hit when watching streaming video (ie. Hulu) or heavy web browsing. I have a second failsafe at 42 degrees celcius which underclocks the CPU to about 500hz.

Is this too conservative? Looks about right? I honestly have no clue, I just wanted to put something out there for now until I can figure out an acceptable temperature range.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aesir Rising:
The processor, in a lab environment, may have a different operating range. And I think that's what you're asking for (manufacturer's spec). If I find the docs for that, I'll edit this post.

But in actual use (i.e., inside a phone, near other hardware components), you probably want to consider other things. And with that point in mind, the key statement relating to operating temperatures:

This is from the user manual. [Edit: Rather, from the ProductSafety &Warranty Brochure.]
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tech9ne:
the processors can stand temperatures up to 170 F for an extended period of time

will your phone ever get that hot? no. the phone will freeze and cease to operate at around 140-145 F.

not to mention the battery itself will be pretty hot.

Hi guys im currently running sky raider 3.0 because i love the free wireless tethering. I was wondering if I went back to stock, with s off and then installed Verizons OTA of 2.2 would I be able to get free wireless tethering?

Thanks so much.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
yes, as long as you are rooted you can use wireless tether.

Routes you to a page to pay the monthly service (2GB limit, $20/month).

https://dunsp.vzw.com/selfProvisioning/SelfProvisionServlet

You only have local access, presumably until you provision the service.

Info I see varies slightly from what is given above (e.g., addresses end in dun.vzw3g.com) and still trying some variations of the instructions above. Maybe I didn't commit the change. Still testing.

[Update: Yes, once I switched it to yournumber@vzw3g.com, instead of yournumber@vzw.com, it worked for me.]
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zrxoa1:

Wireless Tether... Its free
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UgXvibe:
Ok, I followed the above instructions, Hotspot worked but I definetly will not be charged somehow right?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qmartman711:
i mean. I would never use the word definite when it comes to this. Watch your usage. I use Wireless Tether..which is amazing, i don't know why people HAVE to use the mobile 3g hotspot and play with duns..I keep my usage around no more than 7-8gbs...and I'm fine.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solomente:
You use wireLESS tether, but not hotspot? Can you please define the difference and how someone would go about doing one versus the other?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qmartman711:
"Using the 3G Mobile Hotspot requires a feature from verizon wireless in order to use the service."

Clicking the app, shows that message. Others have bypassed this requirement by messing with the EPST as posted above. Verizon charges a fee when you use your phones internet on another device.

Wireless Tether is a program that enables Wifi and bluetooth tethering as well, except it is only for rooted users. It isnt affiliated with verizon, it just transmits your phones internet- no questions asked..

Wireless tether requires root permissions..that's it. And you are ready to go..you can add security and filter MAC addresses as well.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hatman41:
If you go back to stock with S-off and then installed the 2.2 OTA. You would then need to flash the recovery that Unrevoked supplies and then you can get root back and use the wireless teather for free. Just a FYI. Sky Raider 3.0 RC3 is the official 2.2 OTA.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibsscott:
Many people have had issues lately accessing the market, google related apps and websites over a 3g connection. I don't have this problem when I use the verizon prl 00001.prl. Perhaps there is an old prl that can solve this? I thought 60668 was working but suddenly it stopped working again. I found old prl files here

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prabu:
Hi,

I purchased my HTC HD2 in India having HSPA: 900/2100 MHz band. I'm travelling to the US this month where AT&T has their 3G in 1900/850 band and T-Mobile has their 3G in 1700 (AWS Band). Is there anyway possible to flash my radio rom to support either T-Mobile or AT&T 3G Band?

My Phone Software Info

ROM version

1.66.707.1(76641) WWE (Official)

Radio Version

2.06.51.07

HSPL

1.66

Regards

Prabu
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lude219:
The answer is NO, prabu. You'll be stuck on EDGE no matter which carrier you're on (AT&T or TmoUS).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prabu:
Thank You for the response, Will it work if I flash my phone with T-Mobile ROM?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lude219:
No. It's a matter of hardware. A software flash will not enable HSPA on your Euro/Asia HD2.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jmonty10:
Alright, I'm about ready to pull my hair out. I have tried multiple custom roms, extracted the Android roms to /sdcard/Android and to just /sdcard, used SD formatter to re-format SD card. Tried 2GB, 8GB and the stock 16GB card and I can't get Android to boot. I get the text scrolling, then it just stops and hangs and the last line is "usb: product_id=0xff9

I'm beginning to wonder if I have a flaky handset since battery life on WinMO is horrid even with a new battery. Has anyone else experienced this issue? I haven't been able to find any posts stating the same problems I'm having.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] htcpure:
I have had that problem with most of the builds of android I have tried. It will boot up one time then never boot again unless I remove android completely and drop it fresh back on the device. I also tried all the things you did and it wouldn't work still. I gave up android. I didnt really care for it anyway, was really only wanting it for a couple of apps but couldnt deal with the frustration.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jmonty10:
It would be different if I was able to get Android to run even once.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] polo735:
We could help you figure out your problem if you post your radio, rom, build etc...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tuppaacc:
PROBLEM SOLVED

flash a 2.13 ROM flash the 2.12 RADIO

format you're SD CARD, select the highest allocation size, remove the "quick format" check mark (it should take like 40 mins to format)

download the 2.1Darkstone Android and place it in the ROOT of your SD card

start ANDROID and give it like 20 mins at the most and it should boot up just fine.

THIS had been answer at least 4 times already, search better next time.

IF YOU HAVE TRY'DE THIS EXACT SAME INST and you still can't boot up, PM.

Keep it open. Restart the phone, then go to download mode again. From that same ODIN window, flash it one more time. It will work.
[Droid X General] ttereve:
both of these phones have me interested. I like the droid x for the large screen but the droid 2 for the keyboard. I guess the main decider is which one is likely to get better dev support? I know the droid x has a head-start with rooting and custom roms, but is it expected to stay that way?

also, wirefly has the droid 2 for $80 cheaper so... any recommendations?
[Droid X General] dsteinschneider:
I went through the Droid 2 vs Droid X decision. I have been using HTC sliders for 6 years. I really don't pull the keyboard out that often and have been using touch screen input (TouchPal). I am new to Android and Motorola phones but I predict that more people will buy Droid 2's because they are a little smaller but same screen resolution and because of the keyboard. I'm pretty sure I will be faster at input using Swype than my physical keyboard. I think its more a comfort issue. If you do a lot of texting/emailing and you are used to a physical keyboard go for the Droid 2.
[Droid X General] inzandity:
Guess it's going to be personal preference. I'm in love with the larger screen. I thought at first it was going to be too big, but it just works. Don't think I can ever go down to a 3.5" again. And having the 4.3" screen makes the on screen keyboard just that much easier to work with.
[Droid X General] meshdub:
I thought I'd have problems adjusting to landscape on-screen keyboard on Droid X, but I end up very rarely using it at all. Swype does its job so well!

And the screen... I don't think I'm ever going to a smaller one now :D

Imo it comes down to screen size preference.

Yea im goin nuts too deciding...i have the x now...my 30 days was actually up yesterday..but if i wanted im sure i could talk them into switching it..at my local store the x and Ed are both really slow and barely work because if the security things on the back...so i went 20 min away to look at the Ed for the 5th time and i still can't decide...i can't type as fast oh the physical keyboard but obv i would get used to it...i dont use or need the hdmi option...i love the screen on the x though..color wise..i think it looks better than the d2... but the d2s is nice too lol...im mainly concerned about battery which both seem pretty equal and idk with the x i just feel like scared to even bring it places with me...i dont wannt put it in my pocket and for some reason it just seems like it would get messed up easier than the d2...i feel like if i had the d2 i could bring it with me...throw it in my pocket if i need to..and keep it nice without having to worry as much...i haven't been able to think of anything for the past month ha besides if i wanna keep the x or get something else..now with the droid 2 and my time being up i am literally going nuts..which you can obv tell sry

Have no fear, Help is here

Hello, You aren't allowed to post you email apparently and it has been removed.

Making this forum the only way for us to help you.

First of all you should ensure wether you have a MileStone (EU) or Droid (US)

You can tell by looking at your phone and checking if it says Verizon.

If it does, I can't help you any further and you should ask for help in the Droid forums. If it doesn't, I'm close to sure we can help you out ;)

So now that you know which phone you have, you've probably done half of the work already. I can't really tell what your problem is, but I guess you have these 2 issues:

1, You have no GPS-Application. You can buy, or get one for the phone. I'm talking about softwares like Navigon and iGo, which aren't free though, but allow you to navigate without internet (for if you don't have an internet contract.)

If you don't want to pay any money and own an internet subscribtion in your contract, you can just use Google Maps to navigate! Update it through the android market and you're good to go!

2, Now for the second issue:

Unfortunately we don't have any chance of getting custom roms! Only the Motorola Droid Does! There is a way through nandroid backups, but seen the fact that you are just new to the whole thing, I'd recommend you to explore the forums and later on install MotoFrenzy, or the official update to Froyo from motorola, which they will, according to them, release by the end of 2010

Hope I helped!

Greetings, Mike

only $75 discount, with no rebate, so $425 I believe

Since doing the PRI/PRL update I have been unable to Roam. I contacted the EVO support people at sprint and they were able to reset the phone profile on their network. 5min phone call and removal and reinstall battery and confirmed fixed.

It took talking to several tech support reps and customer service people but the issue was finally able to be resolved at Sprint in the EVO tech support department.

Direct phone number 866-639-9565

Hope this helps to all having issues
