Just a quick question. Is there a build with an accurate compass? Preferably with Sense UI.

Thank you very much!

Even if I get a warn for this post but... seriously?! compass? I think it's the only thing I've used once in 8 moths of having HD2. I could understand something else like a radio function for all builds not just Sense one, less battery drainage but I think a compass functionality request is a bit weird, to say the least.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malaeus:
compass is good for GPS and skymap. as well as many technical apps. including the magnetometer.

The compass is also used for the so called "augmented reality" apps.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fooldog01:
I was looking for a way to increase earpiece volume beyond max volume and on the Vibrant thread they talk about HAC mode (Hearing Aid Compatible) which is missing from the Captivate menus. I was just wondering if there is some alternate way I may not know about to enable this setting. I really don't understand the reasoning behind some of the fundamental differences from one Galaxy S to another.

BTW, I am familiar with the service menu settings. The only problem with those is that they dont stick on a restart.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmaacc:
New ROMs out every day, you gotta love the "original" ones, that come usually besides the only useful rooting with A2SD+ (buggy), deodexed (space wasting) and "bash".

So, why the heck does anyone need bash? The normal user definitely does not. The advanced user (read, the one that can use adb) may occasionally feel lazy to type a command twice and uses command completion/repetition. But hey, don't we already have ash in busybox? What the heck do we need bash for? It eats some 2 MB of precious memory, without adding any real value?!

So please educate me, why does anyone adds bash into their ROMs (besides the other crap)? ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teppic74:
Custom scripts may rely on features that bash offers that the default shell doesn't. That makes it vital for those. And Linux memory handling isn't as simple as adding up executable sizes.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmaacc:
I have yet to see a script that would rely upon bash and not running with a standard sh. And if so, someone should fix the script. So no, that's not an acceptable explanation :).

I don't want to go into a holy war here, it just looks pretty silly to me that everybody who manages to start a kitchen has to press every button that is there. Without understanding what it does.

My point is, if you want to make an in any way called "official" ROM, I could go with rooting and perhaps busybox, but that's it. Anything else is unnecessary garbage. And too many cooks spoil he broth as we see here, once again.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teppic74:
When I wrote my downgrade tool I had to use bash explicitly to get it to work transparently on a Mac, since the default shell (sh) on OS X behaves differently. To say there's never a problem with compatibility between shells is untrue.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmaacc:
AFAIK sh is Unix standard since the 70's or so :). Same as vi.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snq-:
where did this number come from?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teppic74:
/bin/sh is not the original shell on any system, nor is vi. /bin/sh on one machine may behave differently on another. It may behave the same as bash, or it may not.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmaacc:
Filesize of bash :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmaacc:
The reason is sh != sh. Which may be bash or zsh or csh. Depending on the OS. Still the original sh should be there if needed by a script. Again, same as vi != vim :). We all understand that.

The reason for my posting was that I get really annoyed from the "original" ROMs that are already compromised by lots of "press button" kitchen changes. It just causes a lot of additional and unnecessary work to reverse such changes if you want to use a particular new version, that someone puts out as "original" messed up version as it happened a number of times recently.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snq-:
oh please :)

speaking of file sizes though, linking bash against bionic is A Good Idea (tm):

$ stat -c %s `which bash`
397620
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmaacc:
Perhaps that is a dynamically linked version. If you look at the random cooked ROMs bash comes with 2.5MB+ of size (as in dsixda kitchen). And I consider this waste of precious resources.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rosebud:
Without trying to sound too harsh.. choose a different Rom or cook your own.

Each cook personalises there Rom to their needs although I kinda see where your coming from its unfair to criticise the very people who spend their own time customising time for our consumption.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmaacc:
You need to read the posting again. I'm not talking about people making customized ROMs. I'm just getting sick of all the wannabie "official" ones who don't know what buttons they press. And yes, I made my own :).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cgrec92:
i see your point, and i agree with you, but 2mb is next to nothing, i don't see what the big deal is.

why's your issue with bash? why not hate all the people who add wireless tethering or vpn support just because you don't use it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmaacc:
I do :D

Blabla...thing is, post an official ROM, keep it official. I can and do accept rooting, and busybox, for a so called "official" ROM, everything else, down the drain.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cgrec92:
even rooting a rom or installing busybox makes it NOT official.

adding an APK or updating an existing APK makes it NOT official.

i dont know why you have such a big mouth and YOU are *defending* official ROMs throughout XDA, now you must be VERY bored to have started all this but seriously go find something constructive to do.

Why don't you just make an anti-social networking rant and start a thread protesting the file size of Facebook.apk
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmaacc:
I don't know what your problem is, I stated mine clearly.

Rooting a ROM is necessary to flash it and get it working properly. Busybox adds necessary features. That is as far as I could go under the tag "official" and to keep that ROM usable as a basis for other devs.

I can not accept other "press button but don't know what this is" kitchen stuff that most recent so called "official" ROMs had. Like bash or A2SD+.

And if you did not get the message by now, I made MacLite which is one of the most efficient ROMs available.

Thanks for your interest :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cgrec92:
Ooh well i'm sure everyone here is sorry they can't match up to your 'OFFICIAL ROM' standards...

Busybox is as far as you'll go..... wow..

So the message was that you made MacLite? not about Bash but you just wanted to tell the world you made a ROM, and by made you copied an 'OFFICIAL ROM', removed a few things and posted it as your own? Thank you for MAKING a great ROM!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmaacc:
Read the posting again. Timewaster.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cgrec92:
That's your reply to a post?

I know you're very bored but i'm tired of arguing with such a child.

Good day.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmaacc:
That says pretty much about yourself, not anyone else.

You are to lazy to read postings, you did not understand what the question was, nor did you spot the key word "official". Instead you jump in with lame comments that I should not criticize other "developers" but instead should make my own ROM. Which I answered. You then fall into typical trolling mode by calling people bored childs and other things.

Anything else you'd like to contribute? Well, waste the time of someone else, troll. Welcome on my ignore list :).

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mortenmhp:
Yes we can delete default apps, but you will need to root your phone in order to do it :) It will also not release any space for you to install apps on, as the default ones are installed on a separate partition with the entire system(/system). Where as your settings and apps are all stored on the /data partition.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leoking3:
Did it work for you?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mortenmhp:
Yes running a2sd allows all of your apps to run off an ext-partition on the sd-card. Currently im running a2sd+ which also moves "dalvik cache" :) Working perfectly fine, though we have had some trouble with froyo, which behaves strangely when handling the original fat32 partition, when a2sd is used.

you could also just use the std. froyo method, with which you can move any apps to sd-card with a simple command. To read about the differences try reading my response to another thread, it explains it:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandonb81:
I put an invisible shield on my phone which made it "orange-peely" and finally after seeing a number of tests on the glass, including putting the phone into a bag of metal shards and nails and screws and mashing it up, I decided to take it off. I have been using the phone since it was released now, with only a couple days in invisishield and I've had it in my pocket with my keys the whole time and the screen is flawless. Dropped it at least a couple times (I have a case on it, but nothing protecting the screen otherwise).

I dunno. It would suck major ass to get the screen scratched, so it's probably smart to put one on, but the screen seems solid. I don't know if I'd trust a video from the company that makes invisishield, honestly. It's kind of like the cigarette companies telling congress that they swear, they aren't harmful or addictive.

I too had a screen protector I bought from Seidio. They really have a poor implementation of how to apply the plastic and I could never get the edges to stick even after applying pressure for 15-20 mins. Anyway, I ended up taking the screen protector of after seeing a Korean video of a I9000 getting demolished in various ways and not getting a scratch (up until the moment when they applied a knife directly to the screen and when they dropped it from about 5-6 ft). I have an Amzer case and for the past 3 weeks I have not had a single scratch. That includes incidents with keys or my wallet chain, or the occasional faceplant to the floor. I really think the captivate has at least comparable glass to the gorilla-class glass.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Divinedark:
Hate to break it to you, but Gorilla Glass isn't magical. Just look at the iPhone 4. It's a scratch magnet. Definitely the easiest iphone to scratch by miles. The captivate is the exact same glass, and guess what??? It's scratchable.

From everything I've seen, Gorilla Glass (or the coating on the glass) is very succeptable to micro scratches. Usually vertical scratches (along the grain of the glass) around 1mm to 2mm long. That's what my first Captivate screen did within a day of normal use. I took it back and got another phone and a butt load of screen protectors. My iPhone 4 did the same thing, but seemed to be much easier to scratch. My buddy's Captivate has a scratch that is almost identical to my first Captivate, but more toward the middle of the screen.

I think Gorilla Glass is as close to a full on failed experiment in mobile devices as we've seen recently. I would take the material that the iPhone 3GS screen was made of any day of the week.
