[Epic 4G Android Development] sceptor:
They should also include the following programs -

Rom Manager (also you can set this to automatically update roms OTA using this program and it has clockwork built in)

Also Juice Defender Beta (as this is probably the best battery saving program I've seen).

I cant find the 2 programs that juice defender recommended but they were two types of task killers that were automatic and could stop programs from running in the background if anyone knows what these were

Lastly I a good solid program to backup your apps that you like to your SD card so you dont have to re-do the market place every time.

*EDIT* PLEASE keep adding to the OP so we may get our requests in to the cooks. Im not sure what the best kernal is so far...seems that the one inside Boss Rom from...Gaurdian? is the best one..at least the revised kernal. Would be nice to just get some completion to these roms with nice theme options and other programs.

I have no idea what voodoo color is but some theme apps and other things that would really make our phones start having the diversity the evo's did would be nice.

I know we are all waiting for froyo as well since Samsung seems to have lied about their september release much less fixing the GPS issue
[Epic 4G Android Development] xenx:
I've seen plenty of mention of Froyo for the Galaxy S by the end of the month, but nothing specific about the US models. I saw a lot of people assuming it included the US models, however.

So, I would still hold true that since they're claiming end of the month for initial Froyo for Galaxy S... they've held up their end. Though, it doesn't make waiting any more fun.
[Epic 4G Android Development] thomasskull666:
My wish-list:

1. DRM and MediaHub removed for battery life

2. Different lock screen (but one that still has slide to message)

3. CPU undervolt as well as overclock

4. Easy theming would be a plus, as well as custom icons and transparent notification bar

5. WiFi tethering fix (pre9 still does not work for me)

6. TouchWiz removed I hate it

7. Optional VooDoo ported to Epic (thanks Geniusdog254)
[Epic 4G Android Development] brickhaus:
The only thing I want that I have not seen yet is a way to reduce the brightness way below stock settings. I have a brightness.apk for my BB rom on my droid that lets me turn the screen completely black if I want.

Is this possible on the Epic? My main battery killer is the bright screen...

I have this widget, it will only allow 2% less than the lowest stock setting. Setting to 14% does not make the screen dark at all like the way you describe.

Thanks for the help though!
[Epic 4G Android Development] thomasskull666:
Download the Brightness Control widget by BandB, you can set the brightness down lower than the stock power widget. For some wierd reason, if you set the brightness level to 14% it will be darker than any other setting, including the lowest level that you can set it too. Works on my phone anyway
[Droid X General] eightbitheroics:
Is there a reason my contacts who are linked to facebook can change their profile pictures and their contact pics do not ever update on my phone to reflect their new pics. The only way I can get them to update is to remove my facebook account from the phone and then re-add it.
[Droid X General] phoenx06:
I had this happen awhile back. I ended up doing a factory reset, and it's worked ever since. Probably not the route you're looking for, but that's how I fixed it.

(Poll)Should We Add LG Optimus GT540 To Here ?

Just Like The Title, as we see LG GT540 has so many features and an exclusive hardware that can be compared with HTC Legend.

it's powered by Qualcomm MSM 7227 with Internal Adreno GPU.

so many people looking for its MOD and costum ROM.

[GT540 Optimus General] k@iserex:
Optimus is a great budget Android phone that can, in the sense of hardware platform, be an wonderfull assset in the Android mod community if only someone could provide a legit custom rom. That would be a lot of fun for Optimus owners including myself. So sure we must add an Optimus sub forum modding thingy.
[GT540 Optimus General] flyboyovyick:
I am voting yes! As this is much needed as o think the gt540 will get popular.
[GT540 Optimus General] clienthax:

Answer

this phone (GT540) are the same as HTC Legend.

so u mean that HTC legend is also outdate and not necesary to add som Costum ROM and it's own thread ?

so don't worry if outdate or what :)

and by the way, in october GT540 will get Eclair also :)

cheers
[GT540 Optimus General] TheGiga:

Yes, i totally agree with u.

many people can't bought most of Android phone because it's price but this phone is cheap and have a good Specifications :)

its a disgrace of a phone ... specs are bad even for 2009
[GT540 Optimus General] spy1983:
so do you think it is bad? what about HTC Wildifre? Tattoo? i5700? are they better? so i think it is not a bad phone, it is normal for android OS...
[GT540 Optimus General] wanwan95:
if you say that the specs is bad,then what about legend. gt540 has the same cpu with it:confused:
[GT540 Optimus General] souljaboy:

[GT540 Optimus General] themono:
It's true that the Optimus isn't the highest spec out, but on the other hand I paid the equivalent of US$210 for it new, no contract (unsubsidised). I'm very happy with it for the money!

If there's someone out there with a good reputation at ROM dev, I'm happy to donate to get one for you too to start hacking on!

I have the 2.1 stock rom on my DI. They pushed the update, but it had an error of some kind during install (I'm sorry, but I don't remember exactly what it was. It one of those mostly useless error messages... like "installation had an error"). Anyways... I can't figure out how to get the stock 2.2 update. I did some searching around in the forums and didn't see anything outside of custom roms and stuff... Can someone link me to a thread or give me some ideas?

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] xanth:
Hi,

Due to a problem with my unbranded Touch Pro2 (UK model) I dismantled and then reassembled it. It's now working again except for the GPS which is aware of the satellites, but the signal of them always stays at zero.

I did some searching round this forum and found out (to my horror...) that apparently the GPS antenna was just a piece of magnetic tape and, you guessed it, I've long since thrown that away as I thought it was nothing more than some simple tape to keep the casing tight/decrease creaking noise/whatever.

So my question is, can anyone please tell me where the tape/antenna was positioned and any suggestions for a replacement? If anyone has any photos available marking the contact positions this would be even better.

Many thanks!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] salva_tm:
I'm having exactly the same problem. Where is the antenna and what does it look like?

Is the European TP2 so different from an US one? How can be possible that there is no info on this topic?

Thanks,

S!
[EVO 4G Android Development] vboyz103:
OK, so I've been using Android Kitchen (URL provided) to modify other ROMS (not CM6 cuz the kitchen is not compatible) to add my own apps and whatnot. So I flash nightly about ever couple of days or so, and hate having to flash the core CM zip and then gapps then copy over my apps, and do mods that I like, etc.

Now you can do all of that in one shot here's how.

In this example, I will demonstrate adding Gapps, change density of LCD, and add my own apps to /system/app (note, this might prevent market from auto update on your apps).

1. Download nightly zip

2. Extract it using your favorite zip program

3. You should get a directory (if not unzip it into a directory) of CM6.

To change LCD Density:

4. go into /system/ folder and open build.prop and look for "ro.sf.lcd_density" and change the value to some'n you like. I have mine at 170 instead of 240 (default)

5. Save the file and do a chmod 755 system/build.prop

Note: I'm not sure if step 5 matters but I thought I would put it back to original state when it was found in the archive.

To Add Gapps:

6. Download Gapps zip file

7. Extract to a directory other than the ROM directory

8. Go into system folder and copy over all the respective files in the folders into CM6 corresponding folder. For example: Gapps => /system/app/Vending.apk then you will copy that apk into /CM6_extracted_folder/app/ and so on so forth.

To add your own apps:

9. Simply add all apks into /CM6_extracted_folder/app/

10. Do a chmod -R 755 /CM6_extracted_folder/app/

Note: same note as in step #5.

Putting it all together:

11. Now create an zip archive with your favorite zip app

12. Add all the contents of /CM6_extracted_folder/ into the archive. NOT the /CM6_extracted_folder/ folder itself but everything underneath it.

13. IMPORTANT: DO NOT set any compression rate, just add it as normal rate (default in most app). I tried it with diff. compression rate and recovery flash have hard time reading it.

After all of that you should have the following folder structure in your archive:

boot.img

META-INF

system

If you don't see it like that then redo ur archive.

Now you can transfer the file over to sdcard and flash it all in one sweep.

If you really want to get fancy, you can write script to automate all of this.

i took the stock froyo update, rooted with regaw's root method for 2.2, including unrevoked forever, and now when using rom manager from the app store, i select: make NAND backup and it reboots the phone but just into hboot. i select bootloader, then recovery but it just reboots as if its going to work but just freezes it. when i reboot normally and open rom manager again it tells me that NAND making failed. i also just selected: boot into recovery, and it would do the same thing, just leave me on the boot screen with nothing happening. i read on a different website someone else was having the same problem but decided to come to the experts to ask about this issue. any further questions please feel free to ask. thank you in advance!

I was just curious if any others have had experience with the horizontal dock that is available on Sprints website? I know I saw one or two people say something about it..but was curious if anyone else has picked it up?
[Epic 4G Accessories] othan1:
I bought it alongside my Epic. It was $39.99 and, in my opinion, not really worth the price. I had the money, though, and wanted a dock anyway. IMO it should have been priced at $19.99 to be more realistic.

It makes a great bedside clock and once 2.2 is out on it, the audio out will work. Until then, though, it's just a bedside clock unless I use my stereo bluetooth for audio which doesn't allow 5.1 sound. Then it's an okay stand for watching TV at work.
[Epic 4G Accessories] dinkey:
Where can we buy it from?

Where can we buy the dock from? Is it available online? There is one available on Samsung's site but it says its for t-mobile. Will it also work for epic 4g regardless of epic having a keyboard?
[Epic 4G Accessories] sonjohn1:
Watch out for Volume toggle problem on desk dock!

I bought three and took one back. When you set the phone in the dock it fits poorly and contacts the volume toggle. I put a small piece of velcro on the right side where the phone rests and that solved the problem for the ones I use at home and work. In the car, with all the jostling it doesn't work as well. I'll wait and take a look at the car dock when it becomes available. Sprint Premier customers get 25% off of accessories, which is a sweet deal.

John
[Epic 4G Accessories] flyers2114:
yep I have one and I love it....but it does fit loosely.....fixed it with a little Velcro strip also....will be doing same thing for car...got mine for 29.99 with discount...imho it is a must have....easier to use when charging than with the stupid wire on top....basically i like it a lot....also there is a desktop and car app in market for it...
[Epic 4G Accessories] m5james:
For those of you with the dock and charging via USB, does it not recognize that it's connected that way? I have to remove mine from the dock to enable mounting so I can transfer data. If it doesn't for anyone else, then I guess I accept it, but that would be a design flaw IMHO. Maybe there are early and late releases, but mine has indentations for the volume buttons, so as much as I wiggle it within the dock, it never contacts the volume keys that I've read mentioned.

I'm also running Syndicate ROM and kernal, so Desk Home from the Market doesn't work for the alarm or music. Fortunately the alarm app integrated into Syndicate does it all, and allows my live wallpaper to be shown, then goes to green numbers only when the display times out. I also noticed that the green time thing moves around as the minutes pass, so I assume this is to prevent any possible screen burn-in.
[Epic 4G Accessories] johnyardavid:
I bought the dock and I am so dumb I didn't realize it wouldn't work with a case. So I popped it open and did a little mod to move the port up an out so it would fit. Just a thought if you have or would like a case. Otherwise it's nice. I don't like the app designed for it, you can't customize it at all. There are better apps out there but it's no big deal to me to just dock it and tap clock. (2cents)
[Epic 4G Accessories] gorby911:
I saw a post on PPCG about a burn in problem on the Epic screen due to the fact that the bottom tollbar is always on while on the doc. Anyone experienced it? I was going to buy a dock as well but after reading that post decided not to.

sprint replaced it free of charge after my 30 days was already up, too.

usually looks like this in dock mode.

i used screen test with an all blue screen. it can also be seen on pure white and green. red not so much.
[Epic 4G Accessories] gorby911:
Thanks austin420. So I am assuming you are NOT using the dock with your replacement? :)

What I find interesting is this - most of the images there are static; but the time... 10:00... how could that be a burn in since the digits always change as time goes by? Why specifically 10:00? Weird.
[Epic 4G Accessories] austin420:
i am still using the dock, just not over night.

i dont think it says 10:00. i think it looks to me more like 1888. i think there are more rounded numbers in the font like 2 3 6 8 9 and 0 all kind of follow the same form. the 1 is there because there is no other number optioin for that spot. you never see 22:00, you know? there is either no number there or a 1 as in 10 oclock 11 and 12 oclock.

I downloaded the Desktop and Car apps as well, but they both suck and I didn't like that they're limited as well.

I'd prefer that I can throw my phone into the dock and that the headphone jack would still function while using Pandora, Slacker, etc...I've got my fingers crossed.
