a 65000 color gradient doesn't look that way, it looks like it does on the left pic, compare contacts and telephony icons in both images and you will see that there is a difference there, also, if you look at the red color in the live wallpaper, you won't find any gradiend.

Another example of bad quality gradient:

As you see, you can easily notice the 65000 colors there but it's different compared with the quality shown in the 2.1 image, the gradient shown in the search widget looks like it's quality related, because it doesn't show the same pattern seen in 65000 color gradients

Anyway:
[XPERIA X10 General] Contrarian:
Are you guys for real??? If it's a bitmap image of course it won't support 16 m colours.

The only way to really check is to open a jpeg image of any gradient scale and zoom in.

Hi everyone,

I'm wondering how to "ghost" my HD².

I explain: I've just flash a cool ROM and tweak my HTC as I wish.

Great.

But I still want to test another ROM.

So, is there a simple way to ghost my actual configuration in order to put it back later? (do not want to tweak again and again)

thank you!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrfitchett4:
probably the easiest way is to backup using sprite back up or spb back up (not free apps). Then after you are done playing with different ROMs, flash back to the one you did the backup for, then restore the back up.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tartagnan:
SPB looks great.

Thanks a lot!

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ASCIIker:
just to reiterate an important point by nrfitchett4 in the first response...

THE FULL SYSTEM BACK UP MADE WITH SPRITE MUST ONLY BE USED TO RESTORE THE ROM THE BACKUP WAS MADE ON

if you are using ROM A and you've customized it and now you've made a back up with sprite, then you are free to try ROMs B, C, and D, and so on. but DO NOT try to restore your back up on ROMs B, C, and D, and so on because the back up is meant for ROM A.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuwait:
This is not right. Sprite backup has function for merging backup with different rom than one from which taken. There are 3 levels of merging. A week ago I flashed new kwbr rom v4.4 and merged it with backup from kwbr rom v3.14 without any problems. Wall works without bugs. However both roms are close to each other as they are from same cooker.

One of levels is even to merge backup to different phone.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ASCIIker:
yeap, thats why i specifically mentioned "the full system" backup. you are correct about the other levels which produce a backup file that is not sensitive to the ROM, but then this backup file doesn't capture as many tweaks and settings.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kalavere:
I would suggest using PIMbackup and just exporting your CHT settings. Works nicely for me. Also using Sashimi with XDA_UC is a good idea.

hi how do i do that and were do i get the rom from
[G1 General] Lord Craigus:
I was thinking of wiping/reflashing my g1. It has excess screen bouncing. touching bottom of the screen will result in it responding in the center of the screen.

i am currently on 2.42.00.03.10 and I can't flash the newest radio over this.

I tried only the newest one but it won't stick.

I tried with clockwork recovery, RA 1.62, and RA Darchstar 1.7.

it goes through the process fine but when i boot the rom it still shows no change.

my signal is good so this is really not a important issue but just a curiosity for me.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielt021:
i head the same problem but somehow i was able to upfldate my radio, just dont know why after several attempts it finally went thru with the update. are u using any stock base rom? i think after going with stock rom i was finally able to update my radio though i dont think there is a relation between rom and radio. but try if you want to just nandroid ur rom so u can get back to it after u flash the radio. good luck

Can we flash this?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=780906

Multiple people are reporting great GPS results, and I am tempted to try it. I assume we could get this to work the same way as flashing a I9000 ROM? e.g. flash this Vibrant ROM, then Captivate kernel? Has anyone tried it?
[Captivate Android Development] Smallsmx3:
isnt that the firmware that was released when JH7 was released. If so im sure it has the same gps configurations as JH7. People are reporting faster locks but the tracking is still inaccurate.
[Captivate Android Development] b0bfath3r:
That is equivalent to I897UCJH7. And there are several threads going already about it.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
wrong and wrong. while they were released by samfirmware at the same time, the build dates are separated vastly. all JH releases are from August while JI (like the Vibrant release) means it was from September. Our firmware is far more outdated than theirs. In fact, the build date of ours was August 27th so even when it was leaked, it was over two weeks old
[Captivate Android Development] Smallsmx3:
Ok have you used this vibrant firmware? Do you know personally that it's vastly different than our outdated jh7
[Captivate Android Development] alphadog00:
No one here has tried it yet, but it is a later build date. All the Vibrant comments I see say that tracking works on it - both Google Maps and Nav.

Just because Samsung-Firmwares releases them on the same date doesn't mean they are related. It only means that their inside man sent them on the same day.
[Captivate Android Development] alphadog00:
The process works with the i9000 ROMs so it should work with the Vibrant ROM. If you are tempted then give it a shot.

None of us mind. :)

2) Flashed Unhelpful's Captivate Kernel

3) Stuck on white "AT&T World Phone" screen :(

It made what sounded like the startup sound... but just hangs on the AT&T screen... hrm, what next to try?
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
did you try flashing the stock captivate kernel first? I had some issues leaping straight into unhelpful's kernel at one or two points.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
I seem to recall GPS not working AT ALL when using a Vibrant ROM... but I've flashed so many of these things my mind is blurring it all together
[Captivate Android Development] phr00t:
I will try the One Click Restore first now... work keeps interrupting me! :D
[Captivate Android Development] phr00t:
1) One-click restore to JF6

2) Flashed Vibrant JI2

3) Flashed Stock Captivate Kernel

... still stuck on white AT&T boot screen :-(

EDIT: Just for kicks, I flashed JI2 without the Captivate kernel... and it is booting :-D

EDIT 2: Ugh, screen orientation and buttons are swapped... of course.. >:-O

EDIT 3: Time to do a little GPS testing anyway :-D

EDIT 4: *sigh* Zilch25 was right... I can't even see any satellites with this ROM... GPS doesn't even start :-( My last ditch effort will be the reoriented I9000 kernel...

[Captivate Android Development] phr00t:
This isn't working :( Flashing back to JH7, I suppose... hopefully someone else will have luck, or we can get the GPS stuff stripped from this ROM :-\
[Captivate Android Development] alphadog00:
Thanks for trying.... but it gives us hope that the next leaked Captivate ROM will have a good chance of incorporating some improvements.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
but everything is functional EXCEPT the GPS? it'll still be neat to have as an option
[Captivate Android Development] phr00t:
GPS didn't work, and I couldn't get a Captivate kernel to work -- so the screen's orientation was flipped, volume buttons swapped, and home/back buttons were swapped. Not sure what else might not work... getting back to JH7 now.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
maybe later I'll try out unhelpful's kernel with stock voltages through clockwork (not the odin-flashable one) and see if that's useful
[Captivate Android Development] phr00t:
Just realized I forgot to name the I9000 reoriented kernel to update.zip, and that is why it didn't flash :rolleyes: Trying one more time! :D
[Captivate Android Development] mesasone:
Even if we can't get this ROM to work, or version can't be far behind. An "executive" rep replied to a user who filed a complaint with the FCC regarding the GPS issues and said they expected to announce an update "with in the next week or so" - this was last week.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
I assume the fixes are going to be announced or released on Samsung's media hub event on either the 15th or 16th
[Captivate Android Development] phr00t:
I just ripped all of the GPS files from the Vibrant ROM and posted the ZIP here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=781882

Hope someone can make a signed update.zip from it (or tell me how!)... otherwise we will have to copy over the files 1 by 1 :o
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
assuming they even work, they're not likely to with our kernel
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Seconding Kaik's statement... if you check the kernel comparison thread there's some distinct differences between our kernel configuration for GPS and the Vibrant. I'd be very surprised if the GPS files worked, but I suppose anything is possible
[Captivate Android Development] phr00t:
A few weeks back, someone posted the GPS files from the Epic 4G, I9000 and Captivate (each with its own update.zip) which were all interchangeable. I was hoping for the same with the Vibrant :-\
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
You might want to try pushing the files into place to see if they work before someone tries to set them up in a signed update.zip format
[Captivate Android Development] phr00t:
Doing that right now on JH7 :D
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Nice, looking forward to hearing the verdict here... don't forget to back up your JH7 files!
[Captivate Android Development] phr00t:
Psh... I've flashed soooo many times, if I f' something up, I just do a complete reflash :D

And verdict is LOOKS GOOD SO FAR! :D:D

I pushed them over, rebooted, got a quick lock, and accuracy was decent. It needs some real track testing, something I can't do right now :(
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Well damn that's pretty good news, if you can actually "inject" the gps files over and have it not flub everything- might be worth giving it a shot. I'm trapped at work for another 3 hours so I couldn't give it a good test but- SOMEONE MUST!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doinbox:
Just wondering if there are any roms which have greater 720p fps?

Which is the best?

Thanks for answering.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andycted:
Tried almost all of them.

The quality itself is pretty much the same. I got the impression that AOSP roms (Defrost, cyanogen, etc) tend to compress a bit more the image but I really could be wrong. HTC camera has a better focus.

The fps are also basically the same. You can use some tricks to improve them, especially in low light, in any rom you use. You can expect to go from 20 to 26 in daylight, and from 15 to 20 indoor, something more with ISO 400/800

The skipping problem, related to the sd card, can be quite different. On AOSP roms the data rate is lighter so there is a lot less stuttering, probably aided by a better buffering. On most HTC roms I've found that if you use A2SD+ and don't have a very fast card you'll get some degree of stuttering. Closing all processes before recording (or rebooting) can sometimes aid that.

[General Questions and Answers] time_lord2004:
Hi, I recently updated to the 'official' HTC 2.53 ROM (nothing too adventurous for me yet!). I was a bit disappointed to see the 3D effects in the contacts screen disappear (i.e 'flipping' thru contacts) - I quite enjoyed it. As I understand it, that is part of the 'upgrade' in TF3D from 2 to 2.5?

I've had a look thru the forums and cannot see if there are any addons to reintroduce this?

I've seen the argument in one thread "the 3d effect in the contacts was only eye-candy. the grid layout is much more usable. you can access the contacts way faster. with the 3d layout you would have to flip through them or scroll down on the right list"

Even so, I liked it... any way to get that back?

Ok guys , Ive currently had to cancel my internet due to lack of funds. But im still on contract with TMobile and have internet via my HD2 via them. Now i play XBox Live and i know for a fact its possible through internet sharing i can use Live with my HD2.

Reasons for this are :

1. TMobile / 3 / O2 Dongles are WIDELY used for people using broadband to connect and thus after sharing have a steady connection via to online game.

2. I managed to get some connectivity via WinXP on my VMachine.

Now what im asking is simple , can anyone help me get sharing stable and working for Window 7 or Windows Vista?

The reason im asking is because the connection im using is a RNDIS connection so the networks cant be bridged. Leaving me no connectivity.

Only other thing i can think of is using it was a wireless router and connecting wirelessly to it , then sharing it to the 360.

Now before i get flamed saying ITS NOT POSSIBLE , and OMG PHONE INTERNET SUCKSSSSSSSS. Ill give you a run down. Many of my gaming buddies use a dongle + laptop + Xbox setup and game very well. Having a 3 - 4 bar out of 5 strength. When using speedtests they are running 1 - 1.5mbps internet.

When i run a speedtest with my HD2 connecting via USB wire , Max i managed to get from Tmobile was a 4mb connection , im actively stable at 2mbps , downloading at roughly 200 - 240 KBPS. Which is optimum. I get more Upload speed from my HD2's mobile internet than my old BT 10MB broadband , BT was 47KBPS up , TMobile is 82KBPS up.

Thanks for looking :) and any advice given.
