From what I can tell, the icons are all new. Although maps is older version and will get updated via Market and icon will be replaced back to normal. Other than that, not much difference.
[EVO 4G General] BigRick10:
It has the Google search app and the updated Voice Search.
[EVO 4G General] raitchison:
Would love to know why there is a Twitter client in the gapps package.
[EVO 4G General] reverepats:
does anyone know where i can get GAPPS for CM6?....i just rooted about 30 mins ago and im totally lost and every link is broken......i really need some help LOL....i know that sounded desprate
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
we have moved on to cm7, can still get the cm6 gapps at http://goo-inside.me/
[EVO 4G General] reverepats:
wow thats real overwhelming to me LOL....should i just flas CM7?.....would that be a better option for me? (and is everything included with CM7?)....sorry for all the questions...did my homework on rooting, but all the stuff that comes after root im not so keen on.....thank alot
[EVO 4G General] reverepats:
can you tell me which one i need for my particular ROM?>

HDPI

MDPI

MDPI-TINY

MDPI-TEGRA
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
hdpi

cm7 nightlies have 4g now, they are working very well and have everything that cm6 had, there are a few minor issues such as dialer wakelock, titanium not auto restoring, slow pc to phone transfers
[EVO 4G General] reverepats:
ok cool....but im having a problem....i downloaded CM7 onto my PC and dropped it into my SDcard....went to the bootloader and selected RECOVERY....but its not taking me to the Clockwork MOD....its just giving me the option to REBOOT, REBOOT BOOTLOADER, AND HBOOT USB..........did i do something wrong?....this is the first time im flashing a ROM over another

P.S. Do i have to delete Cm6 thats in my SDcard, then drop CM7 into the SDcard.....then try to go into recovery?....im not really sure
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
reflash your recovery, if its not showing up in bootloader then its fudged.

wipe clean to upgrade from cm6 to cm7 so make sure your apps are backed up

dont need to delete anything on your sdcard, its not what is giving you issues
[EVO 4G General] reverepats:
yeah i cant get into recovery.....i went to the ROM Manager that came with CM6 and i tryed to flash it from there and it took me to the HBOOT and i clicked into RECOVERY and it took me back to same spot...

Bootlaoder

reboot

reboot bootloader

power down
[EVO 4G General] reverepats:
so click "clear storage" from the bootlader?.....damn im nervous LOL.....i have no clue what the hell im doing HAHA....sorry to keep u going man
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
disregard this post, it was combined with one below this
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
dont do anything in bootloader, reboot your phone and open rom manager, at the top it will say "flash clockworkmod recovery" and below that it will say your "current recovery", what is your current recovery?
[EVO 4G General] reverepats:
clockwork mod 2.5.0.1
[EVO 4G General] reverepats:
im using CM 6.1.2
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
okay, at the bottom it says, "all clockworkmod recoveries", flash 2.5.0.7 from there

then you can use rom manager to flash cm7 and gapps, in settings put a check in advanced mode
[EVO 4G General] reverepats:
i even tryed to flash it right from the ROM manager and i chose CM7 from the SDcard and it took me to the bootloader, but once again when i click on recovery it just gave me the option to reboot and stuff....not sure if i told u that...
[EVO 4G General] reverepats:
theres no 2.5.0.7...just....

2.5.1.4

2.5.1.3

2.5.1.1

2.5.1.0

2.5.0.1
[EVO 4G General] reverepats:
im currently on 3.0.0.5
[EVO 4G General] reverepats:
am i totally screwed here?.....LOL....this is terrible
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
flash the 2.5.1.4, then retry installing cm7
[EVO 4G General] reverepats:
ok let se what happens
[EVO 4G General] reverepats:
nope...it gave me an error trying to flash that recovery....but i was able to flash 2.5.0.1 and tryed to install CM7 but no go.....i thought u took off for the night so i just tryed each recovery at a time.....are there any other options?.....
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
amonra, 2.3 the best recovery

http://files.androidspin.com/downloads.php?dir=amon_ra/RECOVERY/&file=PC36IMG.zip

put that file on your phone sdcard, not in any folder, turn off the phone and then hold volume down and tap the power button, when you see the bootloader let go of vol down, install the update then reboot
[EVO 4G General] reverepats:
is that something i can do with the certain state my device is in now?.....i mean im real new to this so not sure how to install a new recovery....or if i even can do it
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
yeah, your fine, you haven't lost anything, we are fixing your recovery
[EVO 4G General] reverepats:
i mean im reading up on UN-ROOTING and it seem you still need to do some dort of flashing...this suck cause now i cant get the android market LOl.....ahh man.....what would happen if i "clear storage"?....i just trying to think of anythig
[EVO 4G General] reverepats:
wait......are you from clockwork MOD?....
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
clear storage would revert your phone back to cm6.1.2 with nothing installed, basically wiping everything youve done since it was installed
[EVO 4G General] reverepats:
well i acually havent done anything since i did this whole rooting process.....nothing at all....acually i shut off the haptic feedback thing......thats it.....
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
ahh, k, reread, you have been rooted about 2 hours now. its a good start, xda will get you through this
[EVO 4G General] reverepats:
dood for some reason part of your post didnt show up.....im doing what u just told me to do right now......geezzz.....sorry.....one sec
[EVO 4G General] reverepats:
ok its rebooting now
[EVO 4G General] reverepats:
all this help is great....no regrets with the root at all......ok almost up.....what should i do now?
[EVO 4G General] reverepats:
ok....now im acually gonna sit here and wait till u tell me what to do next HAHA......wheneva yur ready
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
after its up and running, move that .img file into a folder on your sdcard so that it is no longer not in a folder, then find the gapps 20110114, (for right now lets get you setup on the 6.1.2 as it is very stable and runs great) and put it on your sdcard (if its already there just remember where it is) and then turn off your phone, and then hold vol down and turn it back on, in the bootloader use vol down/up to move the curser and power button to "select". go into recovery, once recovery boots go into "install zip from sdcard" and find the 20110114 gapps and flash it, then reboot your phone, market and gmail and other google apps should be on your phone now
[EVO 4G General] reverepats:
ok in the bootloader now.....lets see now
[EVO 4G General] reverepats:
heeeeeeyyyyyyyy.....im in the bootloader.......ok bear with me LOL.....dood im sending u a huge check....LOL....ok im not gonna celebrate yet.....im continuing
[EVO 4G General] reverepats:
in the bootloader.....do i go to "flash zip from SDcard"?
[EVO 4G General] reverepats:
ok its installing
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
the black background and says "flash zip from sdcard" is the recovery, its working now, awesome.

yes go into flash zip from sdcard and find the 20101114 gapps and flash it, then reboot the phone into the rom and all should be good
[EVO 4G General] reverepats:
ahhhh goge apps......gotta love it....damn guy...i wish i could do something for u guys....i feel bad putting ya thru this...but then again thats why u guys do this...(to help poeple)...so could flash anyRO now?
[EVO 4G General] reverepats:
now i went into the market and everything started to update.....but there 2 of everything
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
with RA recovery (what you have now) you cannot use rom manager, so its a manual process that involves first making backups of current rom (incase of oopses) then wiping data/cache/dalvik and then flashing the new rom and then any kernel or other options. keep reading up in lots of threads and see all that there is, dont become an addict and start flashing a rom a day.... like me
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
that happens often with the cm6 roms, it will have 2 downloads 2 installs but it will only show 1 after its done on the phone, its nothing to be concerned over
[EVO 4G General] reverepats:
ohh so i have "Amron RA" now?......i found this site that help me earlier and the direction seem pretty good

<> Select the ROM you want and download it

<> Plug your phone into the PC and select "disk drive"

<> Now drag/drop the ROM to the SD card of the phone

<> Disconnect from the PC and reboot phone in recovery

<> NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING!!!!!!

<> After you nandroid back up select "Return"

<> Select "Wipe"

<> Wipe the "data/factory reset" and "dalvik-cache" and "Cache". It is recommended that you wipe each one at least twice just to be sure.

<> Once your done select "Return"

<> Now select "Flash .zip from sdcard"

<> Select the ROM you downloaded and flash it!

<> Select "Return"

<> Select "Power off"

<> After phone powers off turn it back on and enjoy your new ROM!!!!

NOTE: First time boot up of a new ROM will take a while because it is booting without a cache.

thanks alot man....i feel bad for ya, but im glad i started crying here LOL.....cause other sites, everyone was telling me to search for answers first, instead of starting a new thread (not going to mention names)......CM7 looks cool with the new features...but we'll see....cant thanks you enough Bro
[EVO 4G General] reverepats:
i hope im not holding you up....but is there a way to update the MARKET?
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
those directions are spot on, awesome.

searching is always helpful, though tedious you will come across really good info that will help. if all fails, ask in q&a, heaven help you if you start a thread in dev.
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
it will update itself shortly, if not updated in the next hour there is a flashable zip floating around the general section, might be a bit down the line but a search might uncover it
[EVO 4G General] reverepats:
LOL....alright man sounds good.....this ROM is already making me nervous LOL.....i may give CM& a try...now that i got things running good....
[EVO 4G General] reverepats:
im going for it....CM7.....im still awake so why not....LOl
[EVO 4G General] reverepats:
man im getting good now.....rrunning CM7 and installed the GAPPS sucssffuly....i need some rest now after this...no work tomorrow so i got all day to mess with this...thanks again man and i hope when i need help i run into you again....this loks great....thanks again
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
np, glad i could help, enjoy customizing cm7, the possibilities are endless
[EVO 4G General] reverepats:
hey whats up brotha....can you tell me where the best forums for asking about root is?.....got a few questions......thnaks
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
this one!, if your answer cannot be searched then ask in q&a
[EVO 4G General] reverepats:
ok great...thanks....AGAIN LOL
[EVO 4G General] reverepats:
well i unplugged my phone at 8:30am...and im already at %84 battery life....is it nornal for the phone to discharge battery life like that....it says that..CELL STANDY is using %40 of the battery....is this normal?
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
you in a bad signal area?, make sure you have roaming turned on, it's off by default
[EVO 4G General] reverepats:
LOL...i cant find the roaming option....HEHE....but im in a OK signal area...but for the most part just north of boston has good service, so......with HTC sense i would unplug my phone and the battery would discharge about %5-%6 of battery life and then it would level off...so, maybe ill just go thru the day and see what happens....i dont wanna keep throwing every question i have into this thread....but ill report back if it gets worse....appreciate it
[EVO 4G General] reverepats:
are there any APPS that one rooter needs more than anything?....i think it would be good for me to be on the same page if something goes wrong....i keep hearing about titanium back-up and what not....is that nessesary?
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
good point on not keeping this thread bumped, pm me with questions you can't find answers to

titanium backup is a good one used to be able to restore apps across roms, settings, saved games etc.

there are others that are more rom specific wether your on sense or aosp etc, search root in the market and you can find lots of root only apps
[EVO 4G General] reverepats:
thats great !!!!!.......ill try not to bother ya too much today....got the premium XDA app so i can do everything from my phone....THANKS ALOT....You guy are the best !!!!!

Please don't link directly to files on my site. If you want to link to a specific GApps branch, use the /gapps/latest/ folder (ie, http://goo-inside.me/latest/6/hdpi/ )

Found it to be quite amusing.

For the longest time it showed me as a Nexus One, after I rooted. I just saw the change too, does anyone know how to change the Useragent on the Android browser?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tomfreay:
Hi,

I've been developing a photographic light meter app for Android. It has got the stage where it is almost ready for release, so I want to ask for your help with a spot of beta testing to work out the kinks!

The app can be downloaded here (just unzip the apk, put it on your sd card and install from there).

In a nutshell, what the app does is take a reading of the current light level, and display the correct exposure settings, it can also be used as a regular exposure and depth of field calculator. It should be fairly intuitive to use, but if you have any problems just post up and I'll try and help!

Ideally what I need is the make and model of your phone, if metering worked, how (in)accurate the metering was and any other comments/notes

Note: Landscape orientation is not finished, so expect weird layout issues there!

Thanks for the help!

Tom Reay
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Wiggz:
Hi - it's not of great interest to me due to the fact I hardly take pictures with my phone, however I would have thought there would be masses of people killing for an app like this.

Here's hoping you get the response you need as we need to keep the developers like you around that come up with the niche applications for the community :)

KUTGW :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] NexuSix:
Okay I'm game to beta test, I installed the program:

Make of my phone is a Google Nexus One, Android version: Froyo 2.2 build# FRF91, Rooted (with 1-click root method)

some of the settings I found a bit confusing, for camera type I am not sure what you meant, I have a Panasonic "four-thirds system" so I choose that but I did not use my camera to compare to instead I used my handheld light meter (Sekonic Twinmate L-208), for device I selected HTC Hero, offset I left at zero...

Here are my first test results:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] NexuSix:
Okay I get what you mean by camera type, you mean the type of camera I would need a light meter for, that being my Mamiya C220 which is a 6 x 6 format film camera:

I will re-test tomorrow in the light day
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Royan:
Just a question: Why would your app need to read phone state?

brgds

Royan
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] RinTinTigger:
Great APP!!!

But there are 2 APK in the zip, which one should i take?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] NexuSix:
this one worked for me:

TomReay.LightMeter.apk

128kb
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tomfreay:
Actually, its the other one :o

I changed the package name and forgot to remove the old apk!

First bug found by NexuSix, the devices should be set to standard unless you have an HTC Hero, not the other way around! However the app should pick up which device your using automatically, the device state access is for the light metering, nothing to worry about but glad to see people paying attention to the permissions apps are asking for!

As for camera type, most DSLRs are APS-C, I'll change the names to make it a bit clearer

Be aware that the metering is only as accurate as the hardware in your phone, which might not be very accurate!

Thanks for the testing so far
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] theophile2:
Holy cow, this is amazing. I will try it out immediately.

I have a Nikon D40, which, apart from being good and cheap, has the best lens compatibility of any Nikon DSLR, including the professional ones. Downside is the meter doesn't work for pre-AI lenses. This app is going to change my life.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mtechfan:
Wow, this is cool. I will test this with my X10 and see how it does.

EDIT: It says light sensor not found, but the X10 does have an ambient light sensor.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lhurtado:
Wow! It's p pretty awesome!

But I can't make the dof work... Near, far, dof, always zero...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tomfreay:
A few others have noticed some accuracy issues with the DoF calculation, which I'm looking into, but it should work.

Can you try these settings for me and let me know what it does?

EV - 13

f/16

Focal L - 50mm

Subject D. - 10m

This will be because the app uses the standard Android API for accessing the light sensor, which some manufacturers have decided not to implement, I have found a workaround for the HTC Hero, I'll have a look into the X10
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dakkie:
I'll try this app cause im a hobbyist photographer
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] uansari1:
Anyone try this on a MT3G Slide? My gf is a photography student and this app would probably "wow" her... I don't know a thing about camera settings, but I'd install this on her phone as a little surprise if it works... :)

Neat idea.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lhurtado:
I try these settings, but I get this result (screen shot). I think there is a problem with units, when dof is too small its shows zero, as units are always meters.

On the other hand, in the screen shot, dof is 11000 m, but should be 11.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tomfreay:
Ok thanks for the screen shot, I've updated the app, can you redownload and install and see if its fixed for me please?

Also the DoF will be displayed in whatever unit you select when setting the Subject D., it can also be switched to imperial units in the menus
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lhurtado:
Now it works ok!

Well almost... If you calculate dof, and then you press the trackball to meter, all dof values becomes zero.

Great app!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tomfreay:
Thanks, have now fixed this too!

Version 0.1 Beta is now in the Android Market, much easier to handle updates that way!

Please, any bugs found please post up hear or email me through the market.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mtechfan:
Ah ok... :( Hopefully there will be a solution. ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] evolutioner:
tried your app on my x10 mini pro.. it works!

but will force close when chose HTC hero in the settings..

and also force close when i press "up" of the volume rocker..

nonetheless, it works when i press "down"!

kudos! now i dont need to find a lightmeter
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] teh_lorax:
Awesome job sir. My gf will love this!

Any free game recommendations for 5-7 year olds?
[Fascinate General] burningembers:
Does anyone know of a way to change the menu color of BRIGHT LIGHT BLUE that is applied in a variety of places on the Fascinate?

It's kind of blinding and makes Exchange Email extra ugly.

...or, does anyone have a lead on how I might go about changing this? I can go file-diving or something myself...I just don't even know where to start.

Thanks :)
[Fascinate General] DeezNotes:
It's probably a value in an XML file somewhere. That's all I know. Oh, I also know it's a pain in the ass to figure out. Good luck.

There are themes on some of the other S variants. PM the folks putting them out, I'm sure someone can point you in the right direction.

i get 11 satellite indoor and map is locking very fast and i am not using wifi network
[Epic 4G General] DanteDrac:
Indeed, I am getting 10 sats indoors with wifi network turned off. Does a cold lock in seconds.
[Epic 4G General] Firon:
edit: GPS is not fixed. Can't get a lock after trying again this morning. Had to restart phone.
[Epic 4G General] imdshiznit:
im excited to get this update!! thanks for the post!

in Baltimore, MD area here, no update for me yet!
[Epic 4G General] Firon:
Just apply the update yourself. No point waiting for OTA. :P

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=785028
[Epic 4G General] NeonMonster:
GPS is indeed very accurate now!

Locked within about 10 seconds, got IN MY HOUSE, within about 10 feet from where I'm sitting. :)
[Epic 4G General] hydralisk:
This wasn't listed as one of the fixes for the OTA. Are you SURE it's actually working better now and it's not just a placebo effect?
[Epic 4G General] aero1:
ANY reset for an update is going to flush the GPS-xtra assistance data cache and force new downland of Alamanc and Ephemris. There is NO way you would know if this update did anything yet. I doubt ANY GPS changes are in this update since device team is still testing various fixes.
[Epic 4G General] vooman:
I am really curious too.. I looked on the sprints facebook page and some people said they still having probems with the gps even after the update.

I am still waiting to get the update.. patiently grrrr .. lol
[Epic 4G General] PlankLongBeard:
I can confirm this too.. I watched the signal lock within no more than like 30-45 sec. As we all know before it was either nothing or a trickle. I have also noticed the performance enhancements they stated. The signal as you drive and the switch of of views as you drive are faster and more detailed before the directions are needed.. :-)

The map caches well on 3G and well on 4G. It makes me wonder, Samsung is using everything as guinea pigs to test so next year they bomb us with the Galaxy S2 which they so happily confirmed along with the Tegra 2 Galaxy Tab 2. :-)

Sucks tho, bastards stripped 4G and Voice in the US.. :-( Oh well still have Motorola N HTC for their toys... :-P

Sent From The Moon... :-)
[Epic 4G General] othan1:
Placebo effect or not, testing it the same way today as I did yesterday (and multiple days before) and having it work immediately without using wireless networks is awesome.

I'll take it.

One thing to note: When I rebooted my phone after the update, I immediately turned on Airplane mode (habit to kill that time without service bug) and a message popped up "Turn off Flight Mode to update firmware" so I immediately turned it back off. Maybe the update causes Sprint to have firmware updates pushed to the phone that affects this?

Or maybe not. Dunno; I ain't a phone guy.
[Epic 4G General] hydralisk:
Apparently you guys didnt read Aero1's post. The GPS apparently always works once after a reset, which the update forced. We shouldn't be able to confirm that the GPS is working for a little while yet.
[Epic 4G General] APOLAUF:
Nope, fail. Update pushed last night, GPS sucks in the morning. Utter, complete fail. Tried to access GPS with WiFi on, now it's sitting there like an idiot until the screen times out. Had to force ephemeris clear to get it to work again. Also, "accuracy" hard-coded value still exists. And now, screen brightness is, for whatever reason, dimmer under auto than before.
