[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheRomero09:
That does sound like good advice, but that would still be too much loading roms for me. It went from the 1st beta to beta 9 all in less than 1 month. It's great because the work is getting better and better faster but i'm not the type that likes flashing new roms every week, once it gets out of beta i think i can deal with it. I'm working with stock 2.1, root, sideloading, lagfix, GPS working fine (don't really use it that much to begin with) and I can't complain, its a great phone.:)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gormander:
What is SRE? A previous post mentioned to keep up with the SRE thread and then mentions @designgears. Is that the designgears' "[ROM]Cognition v2.2 BETA9.1.1 (Voodoo - CogKernel - Bootanimation)" thread they are referring to? I used the "Search Forum" tool and that was the first thing that came up.

Many times when people refer to newbies (like myself) to "look up this/that" or "try this/that", they use acronyms and its difficult to find what exactly they are referring to.

Cognition 2.2 Beta 9.1.1

Grab this and never look back.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] double RL:
^^^^This^^^^^ I've never had an Android phone and just got a Captivate a couple of days ago. I thought it was pretty cool an all but decided to install Cognition 2.2 Beta 9.1.1 and am in love with this phone now. Unbelievable the difference it makes.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheRomero09:
Decided to get Beta 9.1 earlier, and contacts keeps force closing.Found the contacts.apk in ther thread, put it on my phone. Working pretty darn sweet. I'm gonna stick with this til who knows when. I'm reading posts of 9.1.1 not being able to read the phones internal/external memory, i can't imagine what i would do in that situation, no music, no videos, no awesome apps, i think i would die.;)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sulphur4724:
Someone correct me if I'm wrong: SRE is what DG used to call Cognition. So SRE = Cognition.

In any case, if you don't want to mess with the "beta" version of Cognition, there are perfectly stable versions with various options for 2.1. I used 2.1.4 before making the froyo jump and it ROCKED. (BTW: The current Cognition is labled "beta" because he's building off of a leaked version of froyo and can't access any source code to make it sing on key. DGs work is, in a word, awesome.)

FWIW the whole browser experience in 2.2 is laggy at the moment. Flash does work tho.

YMMV
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cappysw10:
These people must have bigger problems, since flashing beta 9.1.1 I have had no problems. I went back to JH7and had all types of problems. Cognition won't steer you wrong.
[Hero CDMA General] surfline22:
I'm tired of my phone being too slow, responding too slow to touch, lagging..

I have the android 2.1 OS on my HTC Hero CDMA and I was wondering if there were any general recommendations to speed up my phone.

I would be willing to put on a hacked OS, root it, or do whatever it takes as long as the phone is still fully functional. I'm pretty new with this stuff so bear with me.

Thanks,

Surfline
[Hero CDMA General] user7618:
Root and install pretty much any rom.
[Hero CDMA General] deedub334:

I rooted, installed CM6, my phone was totally transformed.
[Hero CDMA General] Nannuq:
Cm 6 - rc1 is a good start simply amazing going from stock. I get 0 lag. I must warn you always do a nandroid back up before changing ROMs. Its basically a clone of your phone's software and settings allowing you to recover from a bad issue.
[Hero CDMA General] mkhopper:
+1 to all previous posts.

The Hero running out of the box stock with Sense is really pretty slow. I liked Sense, but I like a faster device better.

Follow the well documented instructions found on this site for rooting the Hero and then play around with different ROMs until you find one that fits you.

Personally I've been running Darchdroid and don't plan on ever switching again.

I don't even know what lag is any more. :)
[Hero CDMA General] surfline22:
Thank you for your responses.

Is there a link for a tutorial or forum topic about where to download CM6 and how to install it?

Thanks.
[Hero CDMA General] user7618:
Yes, check the cm6 thread.
[Hero CDMA General] surfline22:
Thanks guys.

I got CM6 on there now, and it is much faster.

I've seen some posts about putting different kernal's on there..What do you guys think about that? Is there any cool features that I can do now with CM6? Tethering?

Thanks.

Brian
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
you could of kept a sense rom and installed a custom overclocked kernel too. im getting decent speeds now myself with 2.1. cm6 is still a bit buggy to me.
[Hero CDMA General] kjfrost091:
i have a QR code i can send to you in an email for free wifi tether. sometimes its great (if you obviouslyhave full cell service) and sometimes its a bit slow, but hey! its free.
[Hero CDMA General] dariFRESH:
Yea that about covers it root and overclock and/or flash a rom... don't brick ur phone tho
[Hero CDMA General] stayclean:
I highly recommend Dec's #14 stable kernel.
[Hero CDMA General] deaddoon:
I have been using CM6, I have the latest build and it is great for a few days then gets laggy...Someone said flash a new kernal....I see your post about Dec's, where do i find this kernal? Thanks in advance.
[Hero CDMA General] RogueM:
Don't have any lag issues with CM6. Been running for 3 weeks no lag. ???
[Hero CDMA General] ronnienyc:
The problem with installing something like CM is that those ROMs are missing a lot of the stuff that you are used to using. And you might spend a long time downloading, and looking for the apps you need. I found CM to be not much faster and a pain in the ass in some ways (the dialer is weak, same with the keyboard, etc.)

I know people are going to start pointing to all the apps you can download to replace what is there, but it's a pain, and time consuming.

If anything I would try one of Fresh's ROMs, which have Sense and most of the HTC apps. And his Toast versions allow for overclocking as well.

On another note, your Hero should not be slow. Have you tried a factory reset?? I have used slow Heros before, but when they are working properly there should be almost no lag with the stock 2.1 OS.
[Hero CDMA General] laie1472:
The kernel is under the thread cdma android development and as far as cm6 u can overclock as well with a different kernel and as for aosp vs sense its just user preference tryem both c which one u like best and stick with what works for u that's what there here for both are outstanding

[Hero CDMA General] Escanor2010:
That's the beautiful thing about CM6 though is the customization. I know its personal choice, but I actually love the CM6 Phone Dialer (one of the guys over on the theme board customized the background for in call to be a nice cyan color other than green) and like the AOSP keyboard moreso than the Sense Keyboard. You can however, install a variety of HTC_IME keyboards and get that same Sense functionality on CM6.

I only do a new nightly every few days and it might take me... 10 minutes or so to get my phone setup. That includes a Full Wipe, ROM Flash, Kernel Flash, Circle Battery Flash and now a Phone Dialer Flash. I connect to my wifi and the Market downloads all of my apps for me and I restore my settings with ADW Backups. Logging into an app every now and then doesn't bother me after I've flashed a new ROM.

This is an "to each his own" situation and I did use FreshROM for quite some time before making the switch. To me, I don't plan on looking back. I may be switching to the T-Mobile G2 when it's released and as soon as CM is made available for it I'll be rooted and running it in no time.
[Hero CDMA General] surfline22:
Yeah, that would be great. I'll PM you my email.

Thanks.
[Hero CDMA General] Lookn4me:
I had the same problems before too with my Hero! I rooted & flashed CM6 RC1 & got an entire new cellphone from it :-) And to think that Sprint said we'd never have Froyo LOL. Up Yours Sprint! LOL
[Hero CDMA General] justpyro:
How do you get the market to automatically download your apps? Is it another app or backup? It won't even save all of the apps I had downloaded last time. It only seems to save around 8.
[Droid X General] brandon2x:
I'm just curious what everyone here in the X forum thinks about these new Samsung Fascinate (galaxy s) phones? I personally think Samsung is CRAP and these new phones look like iPhone wannabes... What do you guys think?
[Droid X General] Roland Deschain:
The Galaxy S is a damn fine phone...the only thing keeping me from widespread recommendation of it is the weak GPS issue a lot of people are encountering, frankly. I'm happy with my Droid X since it got rooted, but it'll be my last Motorola phone because of how hard they're keeping the bootloader locked down.
[Droid X General] cbaty08:
The only thing I wouldn't like is the soft buttons.... also I hear that the phone feels like it is made of cheap plastic....

Can anyone confirm or deny the cheap plastic rumor?
[Droid X General] dr154:
True, first glance you would mistaken it for the iphone but up closer u'll change your mind.

DroidX has one of the best antenna & strongest gps designs on the market currently IMO, fascinate cant come close with its weak gps...

Confirmed; cheap plasticly material on the fascinate compared to the toughness of the Droid X...

~VZW Retailer~​
[Droid X General] maidguitar:
Other thing is, if you don't care much for build quality and/or gps and just want a fast gaming phone, the Galaxy's hummingbird chipset + gpu is the fastest out there right now, and by a fair margin.
[Droid X General] brandon2x:
Wonder what kind of scores they're putting up compared to our rooted X's..?? Mine, rooted and running FlyX is hitting 1496.
[Droid X General] Joe92T:
They score 2200 to 2400 on quadrant with their lagfix hack.. Not that impressive considering with the stagefright hack on my X I can do 2200 so its close to on par

Basically yes, if you can get over the cheap feel of it and the fact that you'll probobly get lost if you ever have to use google navigation, it has the best screen, gpu and processor package out right now... So its all under the hood
[Droid X General] xliderider:
Posting this from my Fascinate now. ;)

The Fascinate is a really nice phone LOL. The GPS isn't that bad, it just has problems locking onto satellites ATM, and will be no doubt fixed with an update.

The phone is light. Don't confuse light with cheap, or poorly made, it feels great.

I will most likely be exchanging it for an X tomorrow due to my needs for a device with better reception and in-call audio/noise cancellation, which the X does better. :)
[Droid X General] xliderider:
Let's not forget that this is all with the Fascinate running on 2.1. It will be a beast when it gets 2.2
[Droid X General] Joe92T:
The same thing was said about the droid x and then when froyo came out our scores only increased by like 100 points
[Droid X General] brandon2x:
what is this stagefright hack? i've seen other posts mentioning it but don't know what it is or what it does...
[Droid X General] Mayfairkid:
edit your build.prop file, find the stage fright lines, and change them from true to false (or the other way around). There are 4 lines together that need to be modified.
[Droid X General] brandon2x:
How do I access the build.prop file?
[General Questions and Answers] _allstar:
Hello all

I've been reading up on the forum getting a lot of good useful information. I've been wanting to root my Galaxy S, and have started the process last night. Something isn't going right.

I downloaded and installed Kies, and ran the update.

I downloaded and installed Driod Explorer as well.

Turned on USB Development to USB Debugging, and USB Settings to Samsung Keis.

When I connect the USB, the phone shows the mount notifiaction. I then mount my phone, and Windows comes up with a box "What do you want to do?"

I am able to browse the phones files from the windows screen "what do you want to do?", but thats it.

Droid Explorer locates the device, and when I try to connect.. does nothing.

Same as Kies.

If anyone could throw out some ideas, I'd really appricieate it!

Thanks in advance

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I2eaper:
Hello,

I am using my HD2 as my primary music device in the car. When using shuffle on a playlist; the music player go the next track but the music player will not move forward to display the next song. If I go to the home screen, and back to the music player it will catch up and be fine for a song or two but then go back to the same issue.

Another example would be in the main screen of the music player, the wrong song and album art will be displayed. If I go into Library/Now Playing, the correct album/track will be displayed. If I press Back, it will show the last song played.

Is anyone else having this issue? I have searched the threads but not finding anything to help remedy this frustrating problem. It seems to work for a bit, then I will have to get out of the music player and back into temporarily remedy the problem, just to have it do the same thing again.

Thanks!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I2eaper:
Has anyone run into this issue?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Faelok:
Sort of...

I've noticed when using the built in sense player if I turn shuffle on while playing songs it will sometimes display the wrong album art until I go into library or exit and go back in.

My thought are that it has something to do with CHT.

Do you use CHT?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I2eaper:
I am not sure what CHT is.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JMC1961:
Hello,

I have the same problem and at least one more...

Now, when I start playing a music it stops after 10 seconds ...

I'm not an expert but, like Faelok, I'm convinced that this is something coming from CHT... Never had this problem with the original configuration...

Now I'm ignoring the original Music Player and I'm using either S2P or Pocket Music.

The new S2P is freeware and it is more then Ok to use in the car.

Cheers

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I2eaper:
I am using the stock config and yet having this issue. My music plays flawlessly,it is just the visualization that its effected. I hate to keep taking my eyes off the road to hold this things hand and force it too update. All off my tags are correct, album art is all there for every album. I hope someone had a fix for this as its very annoying.

Thanks!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I2eaper:
Thanks for your replies. I wonder if this is just the nature of the sense music player and no way to correct it. You would think that if it will refresh and catch up to the correct album art and track name if you get out of the player and come back in there would be a way remedy the behavior. I'm interested to see how many others are experiencing the same problem.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xaccers:
Are you controlling S2P over bluetooth or just your finger?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I2eaper:
It looks like album view has been disabled in the recent version .80. My whole reason for this post it to try to get the album art to display properly. It looks like the dev for S2P is working hard on it and wish him the best :)

I'd still lilke to find a fix for the issue I posted but I am not coming up with anything.

I used 1.56 because 1.60 is like 10MB bigger and I'm having trouble with 2.4 (it says limited use - lets you type, but not swype). These are apk files, so you MUST UNINSTALL your current version of Swype. Then you may install one of these as you would any other app. Enjoy, hope you like em!

Noob question, how would you apply this theme? Recovery? Metamorph? App installer?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zwade01:
This is the full app. You have to install it via an app installer. If you're already running Swype, you must uninstall your current version first. For me, I open Astro File Manager and select the new Swype I want to install. It allows me to uninstall my current version from there, then I reselect it after the previous version is uninstalled to install the new one.

I got an email from Swype Beta late last night.

THe Swype betas you're using (the email says) will expire in a couple of days.

I hope that this isn't true. But the newer version I downloaded (2.4) seems to require online 'Registration' to activate the application.

This will make it a LOT harder to make copies of/distribute.

They NEED to offer a paid solution, or stop trying to 'crack down' on people using their software for free.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KarateExplosion6:
The official Beta versions have required registration for awhile now. Inevitably, someone will hack around it, as has happened with previous versions.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zdrifter:
I too got the notification of a new beta.

They have made it MUCH harder to get .. even tho I'm 'on the list' it took so much fooling around that I almost gave up.

Did manage to get it installed and I will say so far it is quite a bit better. I really didn't use the previous version much because it just wasn't that much better .. the new one looks good.

Glad you guys like these. I planned on making a ton of different ones but I'm going to put them on hold until I know for sure if the 1.56 is going to expire soon. Also, once they get the 2.4 all fixed up I'll get on that one instead so sit tight :)

Do I need to fix this or since everything is working or should I not worry about it?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdiman:
Concerning the specific error about mmcblk1p2 "file exists" error, it is a cosmetic issue, not a functional one. In other words, nothing breaks. This is warning you that you don't have an sd-ext partition on your phone, and thus sd-ext can't be mounted to backup.

If you want to get rid of the error, create a large FAT32 partition 1 on your sd card and a small ext2 partition 2 (or larger, if you actually want to use sd-ext).
