Oh come on! This has been gone over so many times!

Winmo doesn't support the drivers, that and It can hardly handle the video at that resolution
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zat0x:
Ok so is android on the hd2 capeble recording 720p? (with the right drivers) ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] genetik_freak:
Not yet. No one has managed to get 720p recording to work even with Android though I believe progress is being made.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] polo735:
Don't get your hopes up with 720 capability saving this phone's camera. Just imagine the picture quality of the camera now, just way bigger. The lens is just not the best.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] xmRipper:
Lens is capable of taking up to 5mp pics. So 720p recording is possible, but framerate may be low.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crackers8199:
i originally posted this in the radio thread, but after finding this on twitter:

Twitter / Josh Fleischmann: Fixed froyo/incredible gps ...

...i thought maybe i should post it here because it might be a bigger issue. i upgraded my radio to 9.01 last night, and this morning found that while standing still my gps location is off by a good bit (2-3 city blocks, small town). when moving it seems to be much more accurate, but as soon as i stop it's way off again...

i downgraded back to the official 2.15 radio to see if that would fix it, but it didn't...the issues persisted. so i tried the fix above from twitter...that got it a little closer, but i'm still off by a block or two.

anyone having problems today, or have any ideas how to fix this?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crackers8199:
oddly enough, upgrading back to the 9.01 radio after doing the twitter fix (unmount gps, power off, remove battery) seems to have fixed it...either that or it randomly fixed itself. very strange...

Hey..

At this website i noticed command and conquer in the top list.

http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-apkmore-a1281808743109-jAwqt.aspx

I also see its a free game.

but i cant seem to find it on the market or internet.

Anybody know anything about this.

Could be great to have this game on my phone!

Thnx..
[Android Apps and Games] invisiblek:
from what i can tell the app was removed from the market

probably copyright issues

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Ummagumma:
So here's my dilemma.

TF3D is a memory hog. When I am on the go and say have Bing navigation open and receive a phone call sometimes (not very often to be fair) it quits Bing to free up RAM. Once after it happened to me while on the road I got fed up and installed SPB MobileShell. The amount of available RAM jumped from 60 MB at startup to over 80MB and it stays higher even as the RAM slowly leaks during the day. (Yes I am using various RAM freeing progs but they can only go so far). However, even though SPB MS uses less memory, it feels more sluggish than TF3D, especially while responding to touch but also sometimes when drawing the icons.

Now, I don't run stock MS - it's fugly - I installed Mobile Sense. I also modded TF3D by using Co0kie's Home Tab. So may be the stock MS would perform better.

Yesterday I played with my friend's iPod and the touch responsivness and overall speed of the interface felt leaps and bounds above what I got on my device. By then I've been running MS for a couple of months. So I switched back to TF3D and it's noticeably faster and more responsive - still not as great as the iPod but close.

So, what can I do to free up more RAM ? I don't want to run a custom ROM, not just yet - I've been using WM PDA's for ever and have enough experience with custom ROMs to realize that if it ain't broke you don't fix it unless you just like tinkering with things. As far as I see the stock ROM performs well - everything works the way it should. I no longer have time to spend on chasing my tail fixing issues. (Now I would love to do that ;) I just don't have time).

I also don't like cleanup CABs. Been there, done that and a few HRs to fix the mess they leave behind.

I like to know what I am doing, why I am doing it, and what to expect.

Any suggestion is much appreciated !
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
That's because the iPod is an MP3 player, not a smartphone.

If you mean the iPhone, than the reason that is smoother is that it manages program memory in a different way by not allowing multi-tasking (even the iOS4 is not true multi-tasking, the apps have to be coded especially for it).

Have you turned off push internet? This it probably the single, easiest way to free up the most program memory, and may save you up to 9mb. Manually cleaning up the Startup folder in Windows of non-essential items may also help.

Flashing a custom ROM is the best way to increase performance of the HTC interface. You say "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" But you will find that the right custom ROM is vastly smoother, faster, more stable and fixes lots of other things also. The stock ROMs are much more broken than you think. Also, Sense has replaced TF3D. Still a memory hog, but looks great, and adds lots of great functionality.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Ummagumma:
Yes, it was the iPhone. My bad. And I know of Apple's functionality limitations - for any future upgrade it's dead last on my list. But still, it's very snappy.

I have the Push Internet turned off - it may be done automatically by Co0kie mod, as I don't recall changing this setting.

I looked at the number of custom ROMs and I see much great work but also lots of posts about trying different radio versions, having problems with GPS / Sprint Nav / Sprint TV / device emitting low-pitched farting noise (just kidding)... in other words, just like in my Axim days, any custom ROM is a trade-off. Unless there's a ROM that's known to have no issues, which I was unable to find (not that I searched hard), I'd rather stick with stock one.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
I can't speak for Sprint, as I'm on ATT. I don't really keep up with the CDMA custom ROMs, but on GSM Rhodiums, you can keep the same radio for as long as you want, regardless of how many times you flash custom ROMs.

I've been using Energy since May, and found it fixes so many things in the stock ROM. Some people seemed to have a couple significant bugs (speaker phone not working, and a couple other things) several months ago. But I never experienced those, and those bugs seemed to be completely fixed in later releases. My stock ROM had issues connecting to the HTC weather and stocks (only connected over WiFi), totally fixed by Energy ROM. Video playback on Coreplayer and TCPMP is much smoother. The clock flip glitch on TF3D/Sense is gone. And other annoying aspects are also fixed: battery meter which reads in percent increments, not 10% increments, and displayed in the taskbar. Backgrounds work in every tab. Lots of other stuff I can't think of right now.

There are definitely tradeoffs to custom ROMs when the phones are newer, when the cooks are just getting started, and the custom ROMs are still under heavy development. But many of the Rhodium ROMs (especially the ones released by the most reputable cooks) have reached the maturity level, where there are very few if any bugs. For instance, Energy mostly just keeps tweaking to further improve speed, or to just fix very minor cosmetic things.

There is a downside, in that if you don't have time to tweak your phone, then flashing a ROM may be too much for you right now (getting everything back the way you like it configured). And not everyone believes that flashing a custom ROM is a overall net improvement. But I think the majority will say that it is.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] agrickard:
There a couple of other things:

The push internet thing is not really turned off by turning it off (if you know what I mean!) since it stops it donwloading/updatng pages, but keeps Opera in memory ready to be opened quickly - search for NoPushInternet_v2 cab

This is also reported to free RAM: SSK TP2 Dynamic Resource Proxy

EDIT: also try searching for: xredjokerx jsmith8858's memory leak mod

I found that Opera 9.7 would quit if more than 1 tab or I had a call/SMS etc - Opera 10 seems not to and takes up less RAM as well as being faster (although zoom bar doesn't work).

I have also read that the standard 6.5 start menu takes up a fair bit of RAM (for what it is) and that there are replacements that use less, but I haven't tried yet.

Also, as well as the RAM issue, you can try overclocking the processor (there are 2 relatively stable ones now specifically for TP2) - I use OCT (at 729MHz) and it helps with Co0kie's Home Tab's animations (CHT does also take up a load of RAM as well I find, but I put up with that), opening apps etc.

However, I am thinking about trying a custom ROM...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] howhi50:
try changing the pageppool or trying this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=711914 - this should give you like 10-20mb free

You may want to read up on changing the pagepool before you do it. Note that it can only be changed before a flash. This can give you an added 10 to 15 mb. Or you could just always disable TF3D when you need to that should give you up to 40mb free depending on your set up.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Skeleton:
This is what I have found from testing and analysis:

Shells

- TF3D adds about 20 MB ram. (Don't use it)

- SPB Mobile Suite adds about 10 MB ram. (Don't use it)

- SPB Pocket Plus adds very little. Best for stability.

Browsers

- Internet Explorer has much memory leak. (Don't use it)

- Opera 9.5 has some memory leak. (Don't use it)

- Opera 10.0 has no memory leak. Best for viewability.

- Opera 5.0 (Java) has no memory leak. Best for speed.

Others

- Messages gradually has memory leak.

- Contacts and calendar dont leak.

- SPB (News, Time, Weather) dont leak.

- Audible, Win Media Player, SPB Radio dont leak.

Office

- Pocket Word, Excel dont leak.

- MADE editor dont leak.

CONCLUSIONS:

I have the following STARTUPS:

- SPB Pocket Plus

- SPB Wireless Monitor

- SPB Phone Suite

- RESCO Today (Shows Free RAM - good for monitoring)

The above is very stable, doesn't leak, and leaves me with 86 MB of free ram on reboot.

I reboot once the free ram drops to about 60 MB; below that the multi-tasking switches become too slow. I will reboot immediately after any of the aforementioned heavy memory leak programs.

Overall, with the above, I need only reboot once every three days - as done voluntarily. The device does NOT hang, by limiting myself to the above.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] srkonus:
Hi,

i own a Galaxy now for two days. I came from a HTC Tattoo and between these both phones there are worlds.

I tried the GPS with Alk Copilot and enrister no problem. My phone has the buildnumber Eclair.I9000XXJM1 - kies offers me no newer version. With the test-mode is there a newer version, but is also Android 2.1

Now i have some questions:

My phone has no "3-Button" mode, so i can not flash with Odin, or not?

With my HTC i was able to download a custom ROM as zip file, copy it to the sd card and flash it with the custom recovery mode. I saw here not many custom roms as zip file. Why is this so?

How can i switch back to the original rom if i flash a custom rom?

Will kies offer my rom updates, if i use a custom rom?

I read the FAQ but i did not really understand it. On the HTC Tattoo area i had no such problems :confused:

Thanks to all who answer and thanks to all here for the work.

kind regards

srkonus

Hi all

I successfully changed the default color of the buttons by editing the XML's in framework-res.apk res/color/primary_text_dark.xml (etc.) but now the colors in for example the simcard pincode thing is also white (which is what I changed it to) so you cannot see the text. Here are some pics (I know the colors aren't white but I tried changing them to gray to see if that helped):
[Android Themes] JAguirre1231:
I came across this problem when I did it as well. My solutio was to just change those things to a darker color.
[Android Themes] Deleted member 2500726:
Oh of course I don't mind that :D Could you tell me the exact location of the pngs from the market and the power thing so I don't have to search?

[Android Themes] Brut.all:
I don't understand. If you want to change color of buttons, then why do you change general color, used by many objects and not just... color of buttons?
[Android Themes] Deleted member 2500726:
Ehm because I didn't know you could do that??? :P Please tell me xD
[Android Themes] Brut.all:
I didn't know too, but it's a matter of finding button style in a framework. 3 minutes of searching and here it is:

framework-res.apk/res/values/styles.xml

<style name="Widget.Button">
<item name="android:background">@android:drawable/btn_default</item>
<item name="android:focusable">true</item>
<item name="android:clickable">true</item>
<item name="android:textAppearance">?android:attr/textAppearanceSmallInverse</item>
<item name="android:textColor">@android:color/primary_text_light</item>
<item name="android:gravity">center_vertical|center_horizontal</item>
</style>

I didn't try to modify it and see results.

what exactly are you changing in the xml files? like what text? can you put a color code or what exactly do you have to change?
[Android Themes] Deleted member 2500726:
In style.xml you change:

<style name="Widget.Button">
name="android:textColor">@android:color/primary_text_light</item>

to

name="android:textColor">@android:color/forexample"white"here</item>

You can find all the colors in color.xml :) I think it's in values might be wrong though but of course you can just search for it :)
[Android Themes] maddoggin:
color

what if i want a different color like blue? like when you change the ticker color in status-bar.xml there is this (#ff000000). so you xhange that to a color code of your choice. is that not an option in this mod? is it only dark or white?
[Android Themes] Brut.all:
You could write any color value there. References to styles, direct values like "#808080", etc.

[Vibrant Accessories] Chief Geek:
So when the folks over at otterbox et around to making a case, and hopefully a both the Defender and Commuter will be offered (and soon), will you be willing to drop some serious cash for a premium case? I realize that the market is saturated with cheap snap on cases fresh off the boat from china and Korea, but many of these cases offer little to no protection other then minor scuffs. I don't know how many times Ive dropped my handset and watched as the case flew off (split snap on with tabs are notorius for this). Im a huge fan of the Defender cases and see absolutely no problem spending $50 on a defender case to protect my $500 phone. Seems like an obvious choice to me, but many, including my wife, this this price is absurd.
[Vibrant Accessories] gregc2009:
I will. The protrection, quality and having a good belt clip are totally worth it.
[Vibrant Accessories] mikelt:
I'll buy one the second it's released. As a matter of fact, I'm suprised otterbox is taking so long, considering the simplicity of the slate form factor and the global saturation of the galaxy s.

As an aside, does anyone know of a case comparable to the defender series that is already on the market for the vibrant?

As someone who is a Linux user.

I find it incredibly frustrating that the only way to install custom roms seems to be using odin.

Why is this?

I love my SGS but i may have to ditch it in facour of a phone i can mod without the need for a windows app.

I never had any need for a flashing app with my old G1.

Why is the Galxy S different?

My GoogleFu must be failing me.

I cant find any reference to what you mentioned anywhere.

I dont understand. In my experience to install roms its usually a case of DL to sd card reboot into the bootloader. Then flash the rom followed by google apps.

Why is the Galaxy S so awkward?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenkiller:
ummm...actually you don't need odin to flash custom roms.

it's unofficial roms that needs odin. custom roms still go the update.zip manner. sadly, custom roms are still built on top of those unofficial roms, so you'll still need odin.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordjubblydave:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordjubblydave:

All they need to do is stop insisting on people using their crappy proprietry app for upgrades and roll out OTA updates. Like most other manufacturers.

2. Navigate to the desired message.

3. Tap Menu -> Forward.

4. Enter an email address in the "To" field at the top.

5. If necessary, mark the message as urgent or private using the checkboxes at the bottom.

6. Press the Send button to send the voicemail in .wav format to the recipient.

To save a voicemail:

1. Email a message to yourself using the instructions above.

2. Retrieve the email on your EVO.

3. In the stock Mail app, tap the attachment and select "Save to SD card" from the pop-up menu that appears.

4. In email apps that won't let you save the attachment (e.g., Gmail), use your computer to download the voicemail and save it on your hard drive.
