[Hero CDMA General] cremator75:
Maybe that's my issue. I did get rid of some of the stock apps I don't use.
[Hero CDMA General] cremator75:
Does anyone know what stock apps may have been updated with this? The only one I can think of would be peep. Is there a place I could get that .apk to reinstall and try to update again?
[Hero CDMA General] Krazy_Talk:
I used Regaw's method, is it mandatory to get this OTA?
[Hero CDMA General] cremator75:
It's not mandatory to get it, but i want to eliminate the dialer lag. I think if I just reinstall the stock apps I could to the OTA update.
[Hero CDMA General] chromiumleaf:
lol, c00ller how many times have you copied and pasted this exact same post into multiple threads asking this question? are you annoyed yet? ;)
[Hero CDMA General] chromiumleaf:
No its not. Your phone will still work just fine without it. But if you do want to incorporate the new fixes, install nfinitefx's new .7 ROM that has all the fixes/updates in it, and you won't lose root this way either.
[Hero CDMA General] Krazy_Talk:
That's great news! Could you please PM me the links I need to flash the Rom. And I don't know if it matters but I am running stock 2.1.

I have CM6.0 and use switchpro widget to disable my lockpattern. Is there any way when I disable the pattern for me to keep the standard lock screen? Instead it just goes right into the phone, which isn't bad I guess...just wondering.

[General Questions and Answers] JimJam707:
I would also say the Desire HD.
[General Questions and Answers] daheufster:
Have to agree,

(very) Large screen, capable of running

​

WM6.5,

​

Android 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 & 2.4 (sort of),

​

WP7,

​

MeeGo and

​

Ubuntu.

Now who can beet this....

only downside is the lack of RAM on EU model..

For me Personally, I absolutely HAVE to have wifi calling on my phone due to the crappy signal I get in my house, 2 doors up or down I get 5 bars and full 4g, but in the house I barely get edge and get 1 bar that comes and goes. With that being said T-mobile is the only one that makes wifi calling on some of their newer android phones. I presently own the Mytouch 4g witch I love, but If I have a bunch of cash I'd run out and buy the G2X, that looks really sweet.

I would say anything BUT the LEO(HD2) if you do not want to change the OS. I've had the hd2 for a while and I truly despise the bugs in WinMo 6.5 ...the features are well intended but it just does not operate well after using it for a while. Android on the LEO/HD2 is fantastic though and the screen size is unbeatable.
[General Questions and Answers] ericatomars23:
The G2x, Nexus S are the best phone because they aren't skinned and offer and a pure Google experience. If you want a used phone then nexus 1 or the Motorola Droid for its keyboard.
[General Questions and Answers] ojdon:
Even though the HTC Desire is getting on a bit now, it's still looking good as news even though I use it heavily everyday. Running the Oxygen Mod so it's using one of the latest Android versions, Gingerbread (2.3).

There are a cool new Android phones around this year such as the LG Optimus 2X since it's dual core. The Sony Xpheria Play looks interesting too since it's designed for gaming.
[General Questions and Answers] jay_993:
I can see why but I think the Galaxy S is SOO undervalued it's not true.

With 4 inch Voodoo Color, you get best screen for now with tweaks. Obviously, without voodoo color, the SGS II 4.3 with Super Amoled Plus would win the game.

As far as SQ is concerned, again, Galaxy S with Voodoo sound, Galaxy tuner/DSP manager and powerAMP, it's up there with Sony and Cowon DACs which in my opinion as an audiophile, it absolutely great since I don't like carrying two devices.

Adding onto this, the ROM devs with CM7, MIUI AND sense as well as optimized Samsung ROMs which have NO lag at all, the only flaw in my SGS is the build quality. Actually, quality isn't so bad, it just feels cheap because it's too light which in this case is a bad thing.

Oh btw, codec support is amazing and I may be wrong but is one of the best in terms of codec support as well.

Come on people, SGS all the way if you want all round phone :D (Or Nexus S cuz it's basically the same now.)

[General Questions and Answers] :
I vouch for HTC HD2 (LEO) TMUS edition.. I have one and its pretty nice, and much better than the G1 I had before. The graphics (Adreno 20) and CPU is slightly under par compared to the newer devices released today but the phone is relatively cheap, especially if you find one that has a cracked screen and repair it yourself.

Otherwise, if you want to go all out, wait for the HTC Sensation.. Dual core phone ftw!!

[General Questions and Answers] PaganAng3l:
In my opinion: I -heart- the HTC G2 (or Desire	Z), but I have to have a physical keyboard for gaming. Sure it's a bit lacking in ram but it's hardware is super solid, great screen and build quality - and also ever since android 2.2 ram isnt really an issue (unless you like sense roms). But given the new devices out, I would go with the Nexus S 4G given that new HTC devices may not ever get root (which makes me super sad all day).

The T-Mobile G2 (not G2x) has a physical keyboard, works with Netflix, and easy permaroot. It's got a sturdy, metal case (doesn't feel like cheap, plastic e.g. Vibrant S), and more. The speaker phone on the G2 is not the best, however, though I rarely use it over headphones/bluetooth anyway.

Agreed on both counts.

Are we talking carrier independent? Current, or yet to be released?

My EVO 4G has worked very well, even better since I've gotten in custom ROMs, etc.

I imagine the EVO 3D with do well, but the 3D is still seems gimmicky to me, and I'm not sure if it will pose additional problems in the dev community.

The Galaxy SII also looks nice, but we don't have a release date in the states.

Well i'm using an LG O2X and my mother has the SGS2, so i can compare these 2 directly. I'm using CM7 since the earliest nightlies and never had big problems since nightlie 50 or so the SGS2 is only a little faster and for me not worth the (extra)money. The only thing i miss on my O2X is the USB host mode. But again, i am a very lucky user, never had problems with my O2X but read a lot about problems with other O2X's. I must say I am a power user when it comes to cellphones so not only calls sms and a little web browsing.

So O2X top cellphone for low money.

Need possible upgrade help!

Hey All,

New here, nice to meet everyone.

I'm looking to upgrade to another smartphone due to recent, catastrophic events with my G1 (still functional, but may need a miracle SOON). I had been meaning to root it, but due to a myriad of excuses, I still haven't done it :-/ (I know, I know.. for shame)

So now that it's all busted up, I'm trying to figure out my next move and need some advice. I obviously have no experience on modifying software, so I figured I'd come here to learn, but my question is, really, what IS the best Android phone right now? And more specifically, in my case where money, knowledge, AND time are factors (lol), should I upgrade now or would I be better off waiting and messing around with my G1 since it essentially is in its last days THEN upgrade once I fully break it?

I'm currently with T-Mobile on a month-to-month plan with their grandfathered unlimited data package, but I'm worried about the possible AT&T merger and what that could do to my plan and phone upgradeability options in the near future. As far as my interests go with smartphones, I use web browsing a lot for my job, but I also do enjoy occasional, hardcore gaming and would love to have a beastly phone if it can fall within my budget :)

From what I've tried to read up on, it seems the G2X would be my fit, but I fear I don't know enough to be prepared for any issues it may still be having to work around them and may end up being more frustrated with it than anything.

Is there a better phone out that I could try now or does anyone know of any others that might be coming out in like the next 2 minutes, what with all the unsightly smartphone turnover these days? :p (been hearing about the Hercules, Nexus Prime, etc..)

Thanks for any help and sorry for the book!
[General Questions and Answers] MElhassan:
Samsung Galaxy S II indeed!

:)
[General Questions and Answers] Daeva:
SGS2 is the best phone when it comes to raw power, but I have a HTC bias, so HTC Sensation is the best phone for me personally. :)

Will be interesting to see who will be on top once Samsung Hercules and HTC Vigor comes out. Hercules most likely, but will be interesting to see if the Vigor can challenge it.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] EarlZ:
How can I remove some of the stock apps from JPK, SGStools seems to be able to remove the bulk of them but apps like latitude,places,navigation,maps,voice search and ect are still left over.. is this possible to remove ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Either do it manually

rm /system/app/name.apk

rm /system/app/name.odex

pm uninstall <package name>

or

Link
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dupel:
Try root explorer (new version, just out on market). And there is topic about removing stuff, Im sure it describes other options.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Fuctifino:
Here is the link for the apps you can remove: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=712546

As dupel has said, download root explorer from the market, it's a great app for rooted users.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] itaykoren:
Why do you need the third line?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Daneshm90:
It uninstalls the package and removes traces of the app from your phone.

So if u just delete the apk/odex, ur app will still exist in /data/data and packages.xml and its dex will probably still exist as well in dalvik-cache.

In windows terms, its like deleting the program from C:\Program Files vs uninstalling it. That example will either make it clear or confuse u even more :eek:

Edit : That is why i wrote that app, doing it manually everytime u flashed a rom is very time consuming lol (im referring to my htc magic where i'd flash cm nightly's everyday :P)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] itaykoren:
Thanks for the quick reply.

Does that also apply when unrooting? (when I unrooted, I deleted the superuser.apk, and don't recall I uninstalled any package).

In addition, how do I know the name of the package?

Is it always identical to the .apk?

And a general question: Isn't it more logical to do the third line first, then the other two? Does it matter?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Daneshm90:
The apk must be accessible (permission wise) in order to run the uninstall command and getting a "successful" in return. When u do so on a system app, it cannot delete the apk hence it returns a "unsuccessful". Hence u need to delete the apk/odex first, then run that command in order to get a "success" message.

The name of the package can be found in 2 ways :

Look inside the /data/data folder for folder names that resonate with that of the apk or u can make out which package name it is (sometimes not so obvious).

Open the apk, look inside the manifest for the package name or just look at the folder structure.

Behind the scenes thats what my app does, goes inside the apk, looks for the package name, hence when u tap on the item, it deletes the apk and presents you with the uninstall dialog where you uninstall the app like a regular app. ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] itaykoren:
Thanks again for your swift reply.

This app of yours sounds interesting...

Tell me, if I don't do the third line, or I do it but I do not remove all the relevant packages (if there may be more than one) then will the icon of the app still be visible? Will it FC when I try to open it? Or will the icon not appear?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Daneshm90:
No it won't show up, but future revisions might cause trouble (sometimes)

You can always go through ur /data/data folder and find a folder name that resonates that of an apk u deleted and then run the pm uninstall command on it.
