LauncherPro is blazing fast for me.
[Epic 4G General] jok3sta:
another launcher pro vote here
[Epic 4G General] dondadah88:
I feel that launcherpro is the newest fastest launcher but adw launcher is.much more stable.

But before launcher pro, helix (not 2) launcher was and i believe still is the fastest one. It rips ass when opening the menu at boot and i.may try it now again now that i think about it.
[Epic 4G General] hydralisk:
I dont see how it's more stable. I've never had stability issues with launcher pro. I also remember back when I had an EVO, Cyanogen mod 6 had ADW running by default... and it was insanely laggy.
[Epic 4G General] gophergun:
Frankly, I think the Epic is fast enough to a point where it doesn't really matter, any launcher you use will be extremely fast.
[Epic 4G General] Pops_G:
After using both for a few days I found that LauncherPro seems faster than ADW. The reason I say seems is because I found a setting that made ADW seem slower. By default the ADW launcher has a large "Bounce Back", meaning when flipping screens the amount of distance the screen overshoots then comes bouncing back is higher than LauncherPro. This makes it seem like ADW takes longer to flip from screen to screen. The good news is you can disable the bounce back, I just do not recall under which setting.

The reason I when with LP over ADW was I found the ADW hide status bar a little more buggy, some times it would reappear at random. I want to hide the status bar to help prevent screen burn in.

A bug in LP that irritates me is how it centers wallpapers in landscape. It anchors the image at the TOP of the screen. If you have an image that has something going down the middle it will appear at the bottom of the landscape display. ADW keeps the image centered completely, so a little of the top and bottom get cropped. This is just a preference thing, but I can also see a problem with the way ADW does it. Background with people in them might get their heads cut off.

what do i do now????
[Fascinate General] k4m4kz1:
The $ means you are still in the shell. You have to wait till it goes back to the Command prompt (c:)
[Fascinate General] namebrandon:
You haven't waited long enough. That last step should kick you out of the shell, and back into the command prompt, where your 'adb shell' command will work.

adb is used on the windows command prompt, not the phone's shell.

To exit the shell, and get back to the windows command prompt, you can always type "exit" and hit enter at the $ or # prompt.
[Fascinate General] ace5198:
just wait?
[Fascinate General] namebrandon:
Ideally yes. Many people report having to wait up to 2 minutes. I don't know what you've done since then, best to just start over. To be safe, just reboot the phone, then start again.

There is a new root method by dirrk on one of the stickies in android development... I would link you directly, but I can't from my phone. look for the one that says roll up
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] clburns1:
This is a preinstalled application on the phone, when you go to select wallpapers you have an option to choose from your photos or this preinstalled wallpaper gallery. I would prefer to be able to add wallpapers to this instead of my general photos so they don't get mixed up. Is there a way to do this or is it even possible to add more? I have used astro to locate the location of the wallpapers but it does not allow me to paste any files in it.

*Edit* This would also make it so people don't have to resize and crop the photos, making the multi pane photos the size they are supposed to be.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] checkbox111:
Connect your streak to pc, go to my computer > removable disc > and you will be presented with some folders 'data', 'download' etc; create another called 'pictures' and within that create another one called 'wallpapers' put your new wallpapers in their.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] clburns1:
I just tried that and the wallpaper still does not show up in the wallpaper gallery. The images are still showing up in the photo app which is the thing I'm trying to prevent. I appreciate any help or suggestions though, so thankyou for your response
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] pgill34:
Can't do it the way you want to wallpaper gallery is on the phones rom It's self. However if you make a nandroid back up and pull it off your sd card you may be able to put your wallpapers in the wallpaper gallery.

[Vibrant General] mk262:
I really don't understand the fervor and I don't mean to be a jerk. Why is it such a big deal?

I have a friend who's even held out for the g2 over the vibrant.
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
Probably because T-Mobile is marketing the G2 more since it has the T-Mobile brand. Kind of like what Verizon does to "Droid" It's all marketing.
[Vibrant General] boodies:
im not excited. sure it will be a great phone. but i honestly think it's ugly. i can appreciate the hw keyboard though.
[Vibrant General] KerryG:
Some people are excited because it comes with Android 2.2 and given Samsung's past, we could be waiting a while for 2.2.
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
You don't seem very optimistic at all. Samsung UK have confirmed Android 2.2 for UK but nothing for U.S., hoping for the same result in the U.S. or at least close to it.
[Vibrant General] ShinyBuddha:
It utilizes HSPA+ which is only really useful if it's deployed in your area.
[Vibrant General] Saiboogu:
The marketing angle (mentioned above) is certainly part of it. Also, it's the named-successor to the G1 - that's special for lots of folks. Thats the highlight for me, really. If the Galaxy S lineup hadn't gotten the XDA section and CM roadmap (legitimized the platform, in my eyes) I might be waiting for a G2 also. Now that I've got my Vibrant, though ... No way could I be happy with a smaller screen and lesser CPU/GPU. :) I love my Vibrant. Some folks really love the thought of a "official" Google phone though. To each their own. Anyway, if the Vibrant starts pissing me off 6 months from now, G2 means I have something else to try out instead. :D
[Vibrant General] briguydj32:
I LOVE my Vibrant but I will most likely get a G2, mainly because of the keyboard, the success and continued support the G1 still gets from the XDA community.
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
Keyboard isn't even a necessity for me. 4" Screen + Virtual Keyboard (or Swype) works more than fine for me. I definitely do think T-Mobile will spend most of their money towards marketing the G2 and saying it runs at 4G speeds (HSPA+)
[Vibrant General] jaker.the.skater:
just because the cpu has a slower max speed doesnt necessarily mean the phone will run slower. plus the vibrant has touchwiz bogging it down a little. the g2 is vanilla android 2.2. I'm excited for it.
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
Eugene released a package to remove TouchWiz. Get your facts straight.

Also, once CM6 gets released.. everything will be good again.
[Vibrant General] XfooYen:
If the g2 has a working GPS and compass I'd consider it a better phone than the vibrant on that alone. I could care less about the qwerty keyboard but g2 will be shipping with swype so that's good. Hspa+ is a major leap for tmo where the vibrant won't even be able to compare. G2 is basically the next gen dev phone for Android. That holds a lot of weight for many.
[Vibrant General] jaker.the.skater:
I know... I have hybrid r3 currently installed. I'm just saying it will be fast without having to remove excess stuff.
[Vibrant General] hurrpancakes:
Physical keyboard, HSPA+, stock android 2.2 (I think I read that they added 4 more homescreens though). Also, given the fact that it's the G1's successor, it'll be great for the mod/hack community

It sucks I bought my vibrant over a month ago, I would've gladly returned it for a G2
[Vibrant General] allthrottle:
I'm still not real sure if I want to give up my Vibrant for the G2. I really don't think the G2 will just blow the Vibrant out of the water or make it obsolete. It has a slower processor, smaller screen, smaller battery, and is thicker. What I didn't like about my G1 and Cliq was the thickness. When I got swipe on the G1, I stopped using the physical keyboard and I wouldn't be using it if the Vibrant had one either.

It does have a camera flash, 2.2, and HSPA+ and potentially more support/development, but nothing else about it is appealing. The trackpad is neat, but I feel like too much real estate is being wasted below the screen on the G2, making it longer than it should be. I've been getting along just fine without a trackball/pad for a few weeks now.

I wish there was just a little more known about the hardware and an exact release date. I don't think I could lie with my old Tmobile Dash for more than another week if I sent my Vibrant back.
[Vibrant General] ld006:
it's all about that scorpion processor, its the first of its kind on a phone, and although it is clocked lower than the current superphones (g2 running at 800mhz instead of 1ghz). it is a 45nm processor rather than a 65nm like snapdragon and other 1ghz, meaning it'll consume less battery power and be more efficient most likely beating the current 1ghz in speed and performance.

especially since its running stock froyo..theres also the hspa+ speeds, and for some ppl the physical keyboard is a plus. This phone will most likely take the crown as the fastest android phone...but..I still think it looks ugly and too plain :/
[Vibrant General] tribalb:
I wouldnt get too excited till it actually comes out. Then we'll know for sure on everything. All this regret or this will be better is just whatevers till the g2 is actually out
[Vibrant General] Mr_Tricorder:
Exactly!

The processor in the G2 is an 800MHz Scorpion processor, which benchmarks at around the same performance level as the 1GHz Hummingbird processor in the Vibrant and is a bit more efficient on battery power. It's a huge improvement over the Snapdragon processors, about 4 times the speed at comparable clockspeeds.
[Vibrant General] backslide311:
even if you had a G2 running Vanilla i'm guessing that it wouldn't be running "STOCK" you would mod it like the majority of us here on XDA. That is the fun of it. Removing **** that we don't want and adding stuff that we do. So for us it really doesn't matter at the end of the day that the G2 will be running Vanilla. SO WHAT. Our vibrant will have AOSP and CM6.1 soon enough :) Just sayin. :)
[Vibrant General] NikolaiT:
Well, the G2 will awesome, I only have a problem with it:

It's release will severly slow down development on the Vibrant. :/ I've only had my Vibrant 3 weeks so if development doesnt pick up soon ill trade it in for a G2.

Anyone actually got this to work? I can build the framework but building the kernel is another story.

First of all, what kernel should be used? common? msm? something else? And what branch?

Second, what kernel configuration? The one from the phone doesn't work 100%

Thirdly, "choosecombo" does not find any products to choose from. Is that a problem?

Fourthly, after it's all build, what's next? How is the update zip made?
[Streak 5 Android Development] fards:
Read the first post again....your answers are all there
[Streak 5 Android Development] drstock:
What? No they're not, read the questions again.

Anywho, I got the kernel to build with the config from the phone, just one change needed: CONFIG_QSD_OEM_RPC_VERSION_CHECK=N

Using the MSM7XXX kernel, android-msm-2.6.29-donut branch. Haven't had the guts to test it yet. :D

you really should use the codeaurora android tree nopt the android one as CA has the extra edits for snapdragon
[Streak 5 Android Development] fards:
oh yes they are...

here, let me wipe your arse for you. hold your hand

you need the dell kernel source.

which parts dont you understand of that?

once you have the source set up properly (try source build/envsetup.sh as an alternative to ./buildsetup.sh)

choosecombo should work fine.

flash the seperate created imgs.
[Streak 5 Android Development] lufc:
Nice work deserves a sticky keep it up :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] ipguy:
Would love to try it myself when the howto is complete.
[Streak 5 Android Development] drstock:
:D

Of course I use the dell kernel source.

First of all, it says "replace kernel" but the framework does not include the kernel source, only a prebuilt generic kernelcd . And I can't replace the prebuilt kernel at that step since I haven't built the kernel yet at that step. See my predicament? :)

Building the framework does not rebuild the kernel as far as I can see. :confused:

choosecombo works, but it doesn't give the output described in the howto. This is what I see when running it:

As i understand it the product targets should be available under device/ but that directory doesn't even exist.

Could you upload the images you created to mediafire?

Thanks for the help. :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] fards:
By the sound of it, you don't have the dell kernel *source*

It's not prebuilt at all. It's an archive which has a folder inside called kernel, inside there is a lot of files and folders that when compiled make the kernel zImage

You need to delete the folder called kernel that's inside the main folder where you repo synced the codeauroura/android source, depending on which. Git you used

Then move the kernel folder from the dell source archive to the codeauroura/android whatever youcalledit folder where you just deleted the other folder.

Then carry on with the instructions.

I'm not using The donut source, I'm trying to port to froyo, and as such don't have a valid boot.Img
[Streak 5 Android Development] drstock:
I'm using the dell kernel source (streak_1.12_kernel.tar.gz). The prebuilt kernel I'm talking about is the one included in the framework, located under /prebuilt/android-arm/kernel/. As I understand the documentation, that's the one used when images are built. Is that incorrect? Cause from what I can see, the kernel isn't even built when running make on the framework, even if the source is there.

I haven't looked at froyo, but in the donut source (that you get from "repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git -b donut") no kernel source is included. It's in a separate repo, or actually several different repos depending on target (msm7xxx, tegra etc).

It's inconsistencies like these that makes me doubt the build instructions from dell. But maybe I'm just thick. :D
[Streak 5 Android Development] Tacoman667:
I am terribly n00b at all this but a veteran software developer; just never developed on embedded systems, yet. The question I have is, does Dell have Android "drivers" for their hardware that can be extracted and put into the kernel available with the Android source code? I believe this is how old Windows Mobile OS worked.

[HTC Aria General] DFWGringo:
I have a fairly new Aria (about 3 months old). It has been rooted with Liberated ROM 3 & 4, and now the CM6 Froyo. Every since I rooted the phone it just randomly reboots, and sometimes it will get into a reboot loop until I pull the battery for a few minutes. The phone seems to run warm to the touch, and when I'm in the sun it seems to accelerate the problem. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Does anyone have any recommendations? I just find it hard to believe it is an over heating issue!

Thanks to everyone that donates their time HELPing out others!

[Droid Incredible General] Stockmoose16:
Hello,

I have Froyo 2.2 installed with S-off. I used unrevoked and unrevoked forever to get to this point. Here's my question:

I just downloaded Rom manager for the first time, and it is giving me a message that I need to install Clockwork Recovery before using the program. But of course, I already have CWR installed from using unrevoked. I'm confused about the various responses in this forum as well as others. Some say you can reinstall CWR on top of the existing one just fine; others say if you install on top of an S-off version, there will be problems.

Which is true and how can I start using ROM manager?
[Droid Incredible General] elborak:
You either need to manually edit the ROM Manager .settings file to get it to realize that you already have CWM recovery, or you have to let it download it for you. Doing so doesn't cause any problems (anyone who reported that it does is wrong).
[Droid Incredible General] slughappy1:
Well I used the unrEVOked RC I got in there irc today on my friends Incredible, about 2 hours ago actually. I found out the it now does the unrEVOked root and unrEVOked forever (S-off) all in one. After I did that I made him buy ROM Manager. When you open it at the very top there is a button that says something along the line of Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. I clicked on that button, it asked if I was on the Incredible CDMA. I clicked yes and it automatically downloaded it for me. I was able to use ROM Manager to put CM6 on his Incredible with no problems.
