[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tobiascrystal:
I was looking at "Bangsters" Android build and I saw that he changed his startup text to have a bunch of varriables that we as users could tweak to get the setup perfect for our own needs. I was wondering if it is asking too much to incorperate this into all of the builds since there isn't a specific region that any of these builds are for like the old WM ROMS. I really do not know how much work it would take to implement this so if it is too much I totally understand, just my two cents.

AVAILABLE OPTIONS FOR STARTUP.TXT:

# conn_type: ppp,rmnet

# kernel_type: axi, noaxi, evo, custom

# gps_zone: us, europe, etc (pls check your zone based on pool.ntp.org

# lcd_res: any variable from 140 to 240, my default is 180, Froyo default is 240

# data_size: 2048 for 2GB, 1024 for 1GB, 512 for 512MB

# rel_path: Android. Be careful when changing this. this is the android folder in the sdcard

I wanna wipe radio/pri/prl/rom/custom recovery/EVERYTHING completely to a stock 2.2 froyo sprint rom WITHOUT root and custom recovery.

After i return my phone to 2.2 like i just got it from sprint...

Then i want to full root it and have the new 1.8 RA recovery...

I guess whatever custom rom i go back to from there, i'll decide.. but for now

I want a piece of mind that my phone is properly working like it should from factory.

Thanks for any assistance on what proper steps i should take.
[EVO 4G General] rugedraw:
Firstly, how did you root your phone? I see your join date is from '07, so you aren't a newbie that came on here in June when you got your Evo (like me.....lol). If you rooted the "old school" way using toast's method, all you have to do is flash a Sprint RUU (any Sprint RUU, as it will prompt you to the an OTA update to 2.2 even if you flash an older RUU) and your phone goes back to stock. If you rooted with Unrevoked Forever that keeps S-off, then it may be more complicated. I wouldn't be able to tell you because I've personally never used any of the Unrevoked team's stuff.
[EVO 4G General] TorxT3D:
oh, sorry for lack of pre-rooting details.

yea launch phone with(at the time) 2.1, and i used that 3 button OTA simpleroot.

can i flash the sprint ruu 2.2, then use the new unrevoked?

do i need to wipe any details with ##786#?
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] draya1986:
Was missing my old D1 look, so I decided to port it over. Added the D1 lock to 2.45 only. Creds go to ghostlypickel for the pngs.

2.45 link: http://droid2files.com/themes/droid1_theme_2.45.zip

2.2.20 Link: http://www.mediafire.com/?qljn7weqog5fkb1

I'm not responsible for whatever happens to your phone. Do a backup and use at your own risk!!

Installation

1. Download file and place on the root of your SD card.

2. Use Koush's Bootstrapper to reboot into recovery.

3. Install .zip from sdcard, choose zip from sdcard.

4. Install D1 Theme.

5. Enjoy!
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] theecho:
Nice theme. Sent some donation love your way;)
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ecnahc:
i've been waiting for this! before i complain, i'd like to thank you, i'm such a huge fan of the stock android interface, the new blur stuff was making my eyes bleed..

is there any way i can exclude this from installing the droid 1 sms/mms app[mms.apk]? i'm using the modified sms app that comes with the epic rom and installing this theme messes seems to break it.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ecnahc:
something to note- i used 7zip to browse through the theme zip and noticed a conversations.apk.

the interesting thing is that before installing your theme, the 'text messaging' app[conversations.apk] works.

after installing, i notice that there is an mms.apk. i used root explorer to rename it to .bak and the 'messaging' app that appeared after installing your theme disappeared.

but whenever i open 'text messaging' it just closes. no FC no error, it just closes.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] burkechrs1:
Try reinstalling the conversations to apk by clicking it in root explorer. I got my terminal emulator to work when it was doing the same thing by doing that
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ecnahc:
i get a message saying "application not installed" :\
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] draya1986:
Sure, just open the zip file and navigate to /system/app. In there you will want to delete conversations.apk

I actually didn't even notice it was different. I will add the stock conversation.apk later. Thanks for the info
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] draya1986:
Where did you see mms.apk? If you go to /system/app inside the zip file, there is no mms.apk... It must've came from whatever ROM you're using.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ecnahc:
yea i think i may be mixed up. i have to do some testing, i'll report back.

i also noticed that putting this theme on top of the epic rom makes doubles of a couple apps.

for example, now there are two music players. when you try to open either, it asks what you'd like to complete the actoin with, 'com.android.music' or 'com.google.android.music'

i'll compile whatever errors i can find for you and report back
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] draya1986:
These themes are built for stock droid 2 after rooted and deodexed... I don't make them specific for any ROM's. If you're installing over a ROM, you're bound to run into problems.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ecnahc:
so i've noticed :\
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] draya1986:
Yep, sorry. Would be too much work to do for each ROM.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ecnahc:
with some slight modifications i got it working flawlessly. i ended up using the theme porter to modify the sms app included in epic's rom to be themed to the stock conversation app included in you rom.

if anyone is interested i'll post it.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] DGalt11:
I'm assuming this has the Stock D1 icons (the ones in stock android 2.0-2.2)?

Is there any way I can extract those icons and put them in another theme?
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] theecho:
you could locate the png, extract it, replace it in the new theme.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] draya1986:
Updated to 2.45. Also added the d1 lockscreen. Creds go to ghostlypickel for the pngs.

[Droid X General] erishasnobattery:
I'm due for an upgrade here real soon. Like tomorrow. :)

I currently own an Eris, and of course have it rooted, custom recovery, blah blah... Anyway, I can certainly survive with only root, as the only reason I used custom ROMs was to improve the garbage stock performance on the thing. So, after doing a few searches of the DX forum, I've found only a couple mentions of Metamorph, which I use extensively in theming my phone, mostly framework-res.apk.

So my question then, is what is the issue with modifying the framework on the Moto? I've seen that most people are just pushing modified .apks through ADB or flashing .zip. Is there a real danger in modifying the .png files and pushing them with Metamorph, or is this just general paranoia about the security of the phone in general? Obviously it's not a signature issue, or you wouldn't be able to boot after pushing the modified .apk

As far as I'm concerned, this is the only thing that has me leaning towards the Incredible right now, despite it's inferior hardware.

Any thoughts/suggestions/explanations would be greatly appreciated.
[Droid X General] x.v_:
I wouldn't consider the Inc to have inferior hardware. I can say in my personal usage, it may have even had BETTER preformance... it's OS feels much more prefected. 2.2 may fix that though. :)

Either way, I've never heard of this fear you speak of. :P This may have been present before the custom recovery though? Back when you had to sbf if you messed up?

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ToastyJustice:
I have them, in fact I imagine there are several people who do. For me they came free as a promotional offer on Rogers here in Canada, and I read that some people got them bundled along with the phone.

They work pretty well, although I've never seen the song-ticker ever working on any device I've connected to it (although I don't even think it's actually a feature), I always have gotten good quality audio from my x10, my windows 7 pc at home, and my iMac at work. It lasts a long time and it's easy to switch between the devices. The only issue I have with it, and it can be pretty annoying, is that it will sometimes lose connection with my x10 and I will have to unpair it and repair it or otherwise restart bluetooth on the phone. It could be an issue with interfering wifi signals or something else on the phone.

Would it be possible to enable without waiting for htc software?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaybachMan:
I'm planning to switch from an iPhone over to the world of Android. The two things I use my phone for the most are e-mail and internet, so I wanted to know how good the internet and e-mail apps are, or if you prefer a third party option from the Market.

For example, is the HTC Mail app better than the Gmail one?

And, in general, how do you find browsing? I've used Android phones in the shops but you still can't beat the knowledge of someone who's lived with them!

Thanks :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonnibravo:
The browser is similar to the iPhone browser but I prefer dolphin hd from the market with its gestures. As for email my personal preference is gmail but HTC mail app is useful for exchange mail. You'll find that despite a few spec differences the desire is as good as the iPhone.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] th3:
Be specific of what exact features need to exist to make it best for you ;)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaybachMan:
Alright, well I personally don't like the Gmail mobile stuff. I prefer sometime like the Mail app on my iPhone - an app which will get and list e-mails and format them nicely with no hassle. I don't care about push, I use IMAP with automatic checking at 15 minute intervals at the moment and would be more than happy to keep doing that.

As for the browser, anything which shows pages well and dosen't lag badly is fine.

For both of those, I'd of course appreciate a nice UI, but of course that's subjective anyway :)

BTW, I'm going to be getting the Desire HD, not the Desire, but I thought owners of the current Desire were the best people to ask my questions to since the software of the two phones is pretty much the same.

I dislike the measly 8GB storage much more than the older processor variant they chose.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Hirnteri:
Yes Yes... But i will buy it :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
I think they are really going to focus on the "cloud". Rather than have everything on the phone, you can use the cloud and have basically unlimited storage.
[Windows Phone 7 General] gom99:
not quite true...we're not at a point where mobile speeds are so fast or reliable that you can use a cloud strategy for things like high quality music and video. 8GB is just too low for a phone these days, especially with the quality of game wp7 is capable of.

I don't think I could get something under 16GB.
[Windows Phone 7 General] eknutson:
Yeah, I'd have to agree with you here. Looking at the link, and whatever device this is, if those are the specs - it's not enough phone for me. Processor isn't big enough, 8 GB isn't anywhere near big enough, and 3.7" screen? Nope, the entire device is underpowered for me.

That's my personal opinion - I'll wait until I can buy what I am looking for as far as hardware.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lordcanti86:
Actually the main reason is because they're trying to force OEMs to actually build in decent amounts of internal storage, rather than OEMs skimping on internal storage and forcing customers to buy MicroSD cards.

As far as the phone itself, it looks like the Nexus One...which isn't such a bad thing.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
well that sucks. why 8gb:confused: I must have 16gb

Any prices yet?
[Windows Phone 7 General] theomni:
Although none of these sources have any credibility, if you scroll further down on this link (wikipedia) the Mozart is actually gonna have the MSM8655 processor.

But again, without any source it does lack credibility, and I'd probably go with the news from the other sites, however this does give some hope.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
That's the bare minimum I'm ready to consider as well. Cloud or not, I'm not going to stream my own music to myself. It just doesn't work well. Especially on a plane.
[Windows Phone 7 General] XaaR_:
THe problem is that we haven't seen any device with more than 8GB Storage yet.

On the other hand, we've seen a few devices where you CAN replace the miniSD, if you're prepared to loose all your storage.
[Windows Phone 7 General] microhaxo:
The LG WP7 phone has 16gb.

This is for the galaxy s.... IN SPAIN. This does not apply to people with the vibrant. I would assume the U.S. is more of a priority to Samsung, therefore froyo should be out before then.

why US is more priority,

and even its true,

would you expect Tmobile will do a quick job in modifying it?

Why wouldn't the United States be more of a priority? I didn't even think anyone would have to think about that one.

Sorry if that came out wrong but it is just how it is.
[Vibrant General] MMcCraryNJ:
Well, Samsung is a Korean company first off. Second of all, carriers don't lock/change their handsets like the US does, so it gets much easier to update when you take the carrier out of the equation. This is why Europe/Asia get new phones and the updates for those phones before the US.

That is just how it is. ;)
[Vibrant General] crazycaveman:
Just remember that we only make up a small portion of the world and also that the galaxy s came out before the vibrant. It makes more sense for samsung to update that first.

[Vibrant General] krazie1:
So We do have like 3 Dates if you want to call it that.

One is September 23, 2010 for Froyo (2.2) which is supposibly for the International Galaxy S. Maybe it'll be compatible with all. Who Knows?

Two is September 29, 2010 for Froyo (2.2) which is for Galaxy S, IDK if all phones or Just International. IDK. I got this date from T-Mobile TODAY. I Called acted like i didnt know Anything about Android and was asking questions about The Samsung Vibrant. The guy said it comes with Android 2.1 but it'll get Android 2.2 soon. I asked if he knew a date, he said hes not for sure but he Read on a Forum somewhere about September 29, 2010. We'll See.

Three is Late October 2010. Which was told TODAY by Samsung Spain and posted on Engadget. So we have 10 days til September is over we'll see what happens. Thats all i know for now.

I'm Really eager like the rest of you to find out when our phones will get 2.2. Not only for Speed Improvement but for GPS Fixes (if implemented), 3 button hardware fix (if implemented) and of course Flash 10, Chome to Phone, the New G-Mail, Google Voice, and Tethering etc.
[Vibrant General] NickAtNite:
As eager as I am to get Froyo, I'd rather wait a little longer and let Samsung do it right than have them push something that's been rushed and running like crap. Based on the recent leaks I've seen, the most current Froyo builds have been buggy and not optimized at all.

I think late October/early November is my limit though. If they push it back further, I'm not supporting Samsung anymore. I'll switch to the G2. I can trust HTC will for sure push Gingerbread over to that phone. Who knows what Samsung will do with the Galaxy S then.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
Fanboys need to stfu. You do realize many of us have buggy devices, and the fixes are being held up for froyo, right?

So I was one of the unfortunate ones who had their 4g totally hosed. I am going to flash a stock ROM to make it look stock and take it into Sprint.

My questions are as follows:

If I flash a stock non-rooted ROM will it break my custom recovery? This leads to my next question, which is can I flash back via a Nandroid backup if Sprint tells me to take a hike?

Thanks in advance!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonyh703:
You may want to follow some of the unroot threads in the dev section... You can flash another rom but more than likely you will have s-off in your recovery. If sprint wants to be d-bags they will still find out you are rooted. I would nandroid, copy the nandroid folder to your PC (and anything else ROOT related on the SDcard), wipe the phone/sd card and follow the un root methods.

its a two click option, shows pictures of your choice of contacts (starred or category), once you click the persons name it asks you call, text, email... you click one of those and it goes.

nice app, could be tweaked to work faster though. but the best one i've seen. It requires you use ADW or LP
