That still has blur in it. Go into settings. Its the blur settings and not an AOSP Settings menu. Also has the blur lockscreen still. I only had the rom on my phone for a few minutes so I didnt dig very deep but its definitely still blur. CVPCS is the only one that I know of working on a true AOSP rom. Hes the only one that has come up with a way of getting around the motorola init that I know of.

Im not knocking the guys doing the current roms and its good to see they are getting less and less blur in them but to say there is no blur is wrong. Its there and plainly obvious.
[Droid X Android Development] SysAdmin-X:
This looks amazing! I'm stoked to see so much progress made on a phone that so many have started to abandon as a result of the efuse.

Was kinda bummed to see the slow reponse time in the video, but I'm sure with all the amazing devs working on this, it's only a matter of time before the bugs get worked out.

Kudos to all those contributing to this project!

Same here... using jm8 + raspdeep oc120_voodoo_b4.1
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lalaca:
I've seen a similar thread in the Themes and Apps forum.

Some people have had success by uninstalling the old version of Task Manager (v1.1 something) before installing the new one (v1.5). You'll need root for the uninstall, as it's a system app.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] torredibabale:
yes,but where is the 1.5 version for eclair?the jpc version not work for me....
[Desire General] maschenazi:
Hello

Few days ago I was prompted to install update 2.10.405.2. After the installation I can't enable wifi anymore; it simply says error. I just got my phone 2 weeks ago on an Orange contract (from mobiles.co.uk), but when I contacted HTC they said that my phone should be a branded and locked O2 Desire. HTC said that because my phone was unbranded the update messed my phone. Is that possible?

I noticed that quite a few people are affected by this, but the guy from HTC wouldn't say if they are aware of this problem or if they are working on a fix. They "escalated" the call but haven't contacted me back yet.

Is there a way to simply uninstall the update?

I read this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=779787 but I wouldn't want to downgrade to 2.1 (I just got this phone 2 weeks ago, plus this is my first Android so...) wouldn't that invalidate my warranty ?

Please advise,

Thanks
[Desire General] EddyOS:
If your Desire was a previously branded handset then you need your gold card in the unit for ALL updates. This is why the handset is having issues...
[Desire General] maschenazi:
I didn't know that.

Why was I given a previously branded phone in the first place, if this could cause problems like this?

Anyway, I made my main microSD card a gold card now... for future updates. Does this gold card just needs to be in the device when you update, or you need to do something else as well ?

Is there a way to simply uninstall this bloody update?
[Desire General] EddyOS:
You just need the gold card in the unit...Don't suppose you happen to know the software version that was on the unit when you got it do you?
[Desire General] maschenazi:
Unfortunately no. But this was the first and only update that I got, if that helps.
[Desire General] Gibeon:
Same issue here, is a hard reset/reflash the only solution? I'd rather not lose my files and stuff, ofcourse.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
It would be either 1.21.405.2 or 2.09.405.8 I'd imagine...

CPW own mobiles.co.uk so it should've been an unbranded device - mine was from a CPW store and was unbranded - so it may have not been a branded unit. Follow this guide and if it completes with no issues you're on an unbranded unit (it will roll you back to Android 2.1 and you can then flash the Android 2.2 RUU file directly (or try the OTA update again)*

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=768256

* You will lose all data, mind, so backup what you need before doing this
[Desire General] maschenazi:
Will this invalidate my warranty?

I also contacted mobiles.co.uk (as HTC suggested) to ask them why on HTC database my phone apears as a branded O2 phone, but still got no answer from them. You are saying that it should have been an unbranded Desire ?
[Desire General] EddyOS:
No it won't, if it completes then you've got a generic Desire and that guide puts you back to stock 2.1...you can then update again to 2.2 and HTC won't know a thing...

I'm saying it should have been an unbranded Desire going from my experience of CPW - that's not to say EVERY Desire will be unbranded as it depends where they got the stock from
[Desire General] maschenazi:
Quote from post : [HOWTO] Downgrade Froyo (2.2) to Stock 2.1 (ANY HBOOT | WIN/LINUX/MAC | ROOT)

"Further Information

If you want to flash an alternative RUU (e.g. a branded 2.1 release), just skip the downgrade section at the end by pressing vol-down on the phone when the utility has completed. Then reboot the phone and run the RUU you want. If you have an SLCD screen you should be very careful here - most RUUs don't support the screen."

Question: Do I need to skip the downgrade?

My model number is HTC Desire A8181 - is this with SLCD screen?

I have downloaded RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.10.405.2_R_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_142828_signed.exe

Is this ok to flash after this process?

Sorry, I am a novice (got the phone 2 weeks ago) and did not expect to bump into problems like this so early.

Please help, I wouldn't want to brick my phone.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
The guide downgrades you to the stock 1.21.405.2 ROM which is fine for SLCD screens. You can then either use that RUU or just do the OTA update again - whichever you prefer (personally, I use the RUU)

There should be no issues if you follow the guide to the letter

Other thing to try first, though, is a hard reset - it might fix it for you
[Desire General] maschenazi:
Just did a hard-reset. It didn't help. Will try downgrading and let you know how it went.
[Desire General] maschenazi:
I did the downgrade and now the wireless is working again :))

I'm flashing that RUU now

Thanks so much EddyOS
[Desire General] EddyOS:
No worries matey, just keep the gold card in the phone and you shouldn't have issue in future
[Desire General] maschenazi:
Finaly back to the latest 2.2 Android. Updated using OTA.

Tried updating with RUU but for some reason after the RUU rebooted the phone to start the update, the phone got stuck on the HTC screen and the RUU timed out; tried it several times.

But I'm back on track now.

Will keep the goldcard in at all times. Lesson learned the hard way.

DaannRoz - unfortunately I already did the hard-reset...

Thanks everybody.
[Desire General] FSake:
Thanks DaannRoz

I put a new 16gb into my phone a while back and put it through the gold card process so I thought it should work. It didnt and I got the Wifi error code. I put the original gold card in and went through the steps you provided and got my Wifi back. It saved me from reflashing the phone and wiping out all my apps and data.

I anyone gets a picture of a phone with a red triangle and a apostrophe in it you need to push and hold the volume key up and then press the power button to get to the rom select screen.

:D:D:D

Hi all,

I am running the stock UK Vodafone firmware and this morning updated to the latest firmware through Kies.

With this firmware update Vodafone have installed a number of branded applications leading through to their own mobile portals, as well as a couple of trial games.

Some initial issues I have observed are below:

360 Shop - doesnt work

360 Updates - 1 way install of Vodaphone services to the phone, no uninstall option.

Music shop - Fails to connect to the service (later found it does connect but didnt over wifi when I tried it.

Tetris trial & Monopoly trial - Who would want a trial permanently installed on their device?

Web - just another link to the web browser only with the Vodafone 360 login, point exactly?

Duplicated applications in the application drawer.

Note: These applications cannot be installed using the standard package installer. There is an application mentioned on the Voda forums which apparently can remove them http://forum.sdx-dev...34736/#msg34736

This thread is to inform the community about this update, and to call out to anyone running this firmware to voice your opinion on the Vodafone forums and support channels.

This happened to the HTC Desire around a month ago, the community pushed back and Vodafone relented by releasing another update without the additional software.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mobilifishi3:
same old vodafone, they've been pulling this rubbish since the 1st colour phones came out. I've avoided them whenever I can. They know no-one likes the poorly designed interfaces, ugly colour schemes replacing fine designs. Yet because they make money from it they persist.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Insin:
I half expected that it would come at some point but I hoped they would have learnt from the kickback they got from HTC owners. I guess not.

I tried out their 'Music Shop' app to see if it was any good. It was so badly designed that ended up with an unwanted purchase after about a minute of exploring. I clicked on what looked to be an advert and it started downloading, no purchase confirmation. Terrible.

We had a good laugh about the 14 piece Tetris and 1 circuit round the board Monopoly trials as well.

I know I could mess around with it and debrand, install custom roms etc. But for someone waiting patiently for Froyo from Vodafone, this is a bit of a kick in the teeth.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Geryatrix:
My SGS is from Vodafone, and last week, when I finally got Keis working, I updated to JM1. I checked again today and there are no other udates available, so I hope that this means that Keis is seeing my phone as a non-branded unit, although it is sim-locked to Vodafone.

Does anyone have any thoughts or definate ideas on this?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ta7seen:
got my sgs last week and im assuming that this is the firmware it was sent with because i had all that crap ... and also wifi seemed to hang up at "retrieving IP Address" (or something along those lines)

.. voda branding is horrible ... laggy splash screen .. i've flashed it now :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Insin:
For anyone looking to support this cause, here is a link to the main thread on the Vodafone forum

;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] InkZ:
I received my new Galaxy S from Vodafone about a week ago and it had all that stuff preinstalled. Obviously I flashed it with Odin on receiving it, and will do the same when Froyo is released.

I really can't be bothered with Vodafone branding stuff, you want to see how they messed up the Touch Pro 2. Black letters on a dark red background so you couldn't even see how many new mails etc you got properly :sigh:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MrZippo:
Heh yeah I flashed my Galaxy S within 1 day of receiving it, Why won't Vodafone understand that customers don't want the s**t Vodafone branding. I have always flashed my mobile's firmware to get rid of the c**p that Vodafone slap on it and I will continue to do so until they stop raping phones with their stupid and slow firmwares! (fat chance of that right lol)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Valeo:
Feckers. :(

I'll add my tuppence worth. Hopefully enough SGS owners with Voda will do the same and they'll be forced to release an update that removes this tripe, just as they did for the HTC Desire...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Insin:
The threads have been merged, new topic can be found here.

I received an email from Vodafone last night asking for some details about my handset so they could investigate it. Not entirely sure what thats about.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Barkotron:
According to their eforum team they had a batch of non-branded phones when they first started selling them, presumably because their firmware wasn't going to be ready at launch. I got one, and it's not sim-locked either. Are you sure yours is? I've tried mine with VF, O2 and T-Mobile sims and they all work fine.

If you go into settings, about phone, and check out build number/baseband version, that should have XX in the middle. I think the branded ones have e.g. VOD instead.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Insin:
I'm in communication with the eforum team and they are investigating my case and many others.

The have said that they are only interested in the handsets which were previously unbranded, which have become branded by this recent update which mine was.

I don't know what my previous build number was, but my current one is ECLAIR.I9000BUJM4
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Geryatrix:
Thanks for the info, my baseband version since I upgraded is i9000XXJM1, so hopefully if I'm careful, I can keep away from the dreaded Voda-bloat.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Insin:
Somewhere along the line, my phone has crossed over to the dark side.

I think they are identifying those who have been wrongly branded and are going to add them to a special deployment list. Those who were branded already might be another story.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] frog01:
My phone was build number eclair.i9000xxjf3 and now after the recent 2.1update 1 is now eclair.i9000bujm4. Was unbranded now totally branded with vodaphone bloatware.

The updates by kies need to have an update list with them so we know what has changed. BUt why would vodaphone want us to know they are including the bloatware.

I think they are trying to brand all those unbraded vodaphone phones that escaped into the wild.

I got mine in an upgrade from vodaphone online shop at the begining of august.

The more recent phones seem to be already branded.

Fingers crossed for froyo day !!

Hello

I am wondering, i have seen nice videos of Swype, and are currently using shubCRAFT 1.5 in combi with ChuckyDroidRom, what i would like to know, if it is possible that i can use Swype on this Android version?

on the ChuckyROM page i see a video with swype in it, but i cant seem to find any information about it, exept a beta sign up.

Hope someone can help, thanks!

EDIT: Another qeustion, with the shubCRAFT 1.5 i dont seem to be able to get my SIM contacts right.

It shows a way to import, and also DOES show alot of SIM contacts, but i cant see them after i imported them.

Thanks again! :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] whynot66:
Not sure about swipe I don't use it.

As for your contacts do you have them sync with your pc anywhere?

You can add contact files (i think .csv) to gmail then when you set up your phone it will automatically sync your contacts
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Azerox:
Thanks for the fast reply

I already found something but it was not working for me, i found it tough:

Go to your display options, go to your gmail account, and CHECK ALL options, groups system android etc etc, not only "all contacts", after that and IF u have imported them, u will see contacts :D

Cheers!

(only the Swype qeustion left, and im happy again :P)

For the swype section.. i'm using swype on HyperDroid now ;)

Just search the forums for " Swype for HTC Evo" and then you should find something like this " Noobproff guide swype for evo

Just download the apk from that thread and eanble swype from Setting/Keyboard and Input/ Check Swype .. then go to a text box, hold it a window will pop then from it switch from " android keyboard" to "Swype" and you're good to go ;)

[Wildfire General] Freeman656:
Hi,

I'm having some troubles to share my internet 3G connection with my PC over USB.

When I check the "share internet connection" on my Wildfire, nothing happens on the PC and when a go under "Wireless and network / Internet connection sharing" on the phone, it's written "activation...".

I heard about some drivers "HTCDriver.exe" which are located on the SDCard but I can't find them and even if I had some drivers, my PC doesn't recognize any USB equipment when I switch to "Internet connection sharing" on the phone.

My ROM version is 1.25.405.1, in french and now unbranded.

Is there any trick to share the internet connection ? has someone already encontered this kind of issue ?

Is there any solution ?

Thanks in advance,

I guess it would be nice to have some other widgets like the original Live-Tiles.

What i thougt about is:

Contacts-widget, that shows pictures of your contacts randomly. (2x2)

Gallery-widget, that shows pictures of your gallery randomly (4x2)

I just started to try programming apps for android or WP7, but I`m not that far, that i could make a working app.

So it would be nice, if someone could do this.

[Desire Themes and Apps] Sozage:
I had proposed this very idea in one of the dev threads - Emulating windows Live Tiles in Android.

No one was interested, which surprised me. I'd really love to see this type of functionality in android.

A tile is really just a widget that provides updates from a particular source and also acts as a link to that app/site.
