Hello.

There are many threads in this forum about Parrot and Desire problems, but I didn't find the final complete solution using official FROYO.

I hope some people tried different ROM's and found a ROM, which works with Parrot 3200LS without issues. Please, share your experience.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brat.haneq:
Hello everyone

I have a question, as I noticed recently, that one of the nightly releases of CM 6.0 finally has the camera working.

But 2.2 roms that are to be found in the dev section have camera working for quite some time now. I'm confused, as I heard that froyd villain provided their work for CM.

So my question is - in 2.2 roms, is camera working by using 2.1 drivers or something ?

Just curious, that's all

cheers

brat.haneq
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
Hi,

I can clarify this for you. FroydVillain and Cyanogenmod share fixes in both directions. Cyanogen fixed camera, and gave details of the fix to other devs (IIRC it involves specific files for each device). The fix involved 2.1 drivers, though the specifics evade me, but essentially yes.

FroydVillain was one of the first ROMs to include Cyanogen's camera fix as an update was being released anyway about that time.

But equally if someone fixes something in Froyd, they send it to Cyanogenmod to get fixed for other devices too (like how Revoked fixed the proxy implementation for CM6 for Froyd and sent fix upstream)

Hope that explains it. I don't know what the nightlies are built off, but the sharing means info moves about sometimes faster than via nightlies...

Hi Gents,

Just bought HTC HD mini (WM 6.5). Tried to connect to my laptop (running WinXP SP3) via ActiveSync 4.5 but nothing happened.

Firewall is opened for ActiveSync and all other possible rechecks which found on other forums were done.

Nothing...

Any ideas?
[HD Mini General] fighter7139:
In Settings-More-Connections-USB to PC disable Fast data sync.
[HD Mini General] edss:
Done.

Nothing changes...
[HD Mini General] fighter7139:
Make a soft reset and deactivate any firewall or/and antivirus from your pc.
[HD Mini General] edss:
Still nothing, but on HTC Task Manager ActiveSync is shown as Mem 932k CPU 0%.
[HD Mini General] mkstevo:
Have you tried all the USB sockets on the PC? Mine will only connect to a Dell PC at work on the sockets at the rear of the PC, not the front mounted ones.

I think it is a power issue, IE not enough power is available from the front sockets. Though I could be wrong...
[HD Mini General] _Madmatt:
In ActiveSync you'd enable the USB-port ;) And, when your device is connected into USB, you'd select "ActiveSync Sync with outlook" on your device. To be able to select that option you have to unlock your device. Good luck :D
[HD Mini General] edss:
Udated ROM to 1.36.479.1 then successfully synchronized at home where I have Win7. After connecting at work with WinXP SP3 via ActiveSync 4.5 all runned well.

But now my HTC HD mini can't find bluetooth headset Sony Ericsson HBH-DS205 which before ROM update work well. Other bluetooth devices are shown but not bluetooth headset Sony Ericsson HBH-DS205.

Hoping someone here can give me an answer. I installed the new update, and when I check gears and fps2d, it shows about 53 fps. If I run neo core, it only shows 28, anyone have any thoughts?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twilk73:
First you answered a question I was going to ask, lol thank you. I was going to ask if with the new OTA is neocore still only showing 30 or less fps, but you answered with your question.

Ok I dont have a definitive answer, I am not that smart with these things. However, from reading these forums I believe my theory to be true. The reason you are able to get 50+ fps with FPS2D is because the screens refresh rate is actually double that of the stock screen. So essentualy you are really not getting 50+ FPS but it appears as though you are. Its a trick, a good one. Neocore must test the FPS in a diffrent way, a better more accurate way. So your phone cant really do 50+ frames persecond but to me and you it looks like it is and thats actually good enough for games and what not. The side effect of the double refresh rate is a shorter screen life. With that said who keeps these smart phones for 10 years anyway. Hopefully someone comes through and explains how Neocore test its FPS as apposed to FPS2D. Its almost as if FPS2D is testing what the screen is doing and Neocore is testing what the GPU is doing.

With that said dont go crying foul this trick methoed is good enough and gets the job done. Thanks dev's for creating a good enough work around. And thanks HTC for finaly making it available to the larger audience.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
I don't know why some people say it's a trick. Just look at your screen. Is it not noticeably smother? That's because you ARE getting a higher framerate.

This. BIG difference.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twilk73:
Yeah its noticably diffrent its faster, its twice as fast. But from what I read you arnt gettings twice as many FPS you are actually getting a screen refresh rate that is doubled. So instead of getting twice as many frames you are gettings the same amount of frames just refreshed faster. That sounds like a trick to me :).

I mean no disrespect to the dev's and I like the 50+fps I am getting in 2D. I am simply just trying to help understand whats going on.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] oC|-TiTaN:
I know there are several themed Swypes out there but what I'm really wanting is an all black (white text) theme with no color to them like the ones in the "Themed Swype" thread. Basically a Swype that looks much like the black themed multi-touch keyboard in the "Modified Droid X Keyboard by WJD" thread.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] yourfriendwayned:
Have you tried asking him to do it?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Corey@rabbit:
thats where i would put a request.... :rolleyes:

Ill pass the word and see what he can do;)
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
If you don't mind the style of the Serenity theme, the themed keyboard should have all black keys and white tracer..Bad news, won't be out till next update probably.

This is a early shot of the red one, the white version will get rid of all red accents and keep black keys.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] oC|-TiTaN:
That would be great. I didn't want to just assume you would want to make a theme just for me so I decided to just post a new thread for it so anyone else could see it, I'd be extremely surprised if I'm the only one who wants an all black theme and didn't know if someone somewhere already had one made.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Corey@rabbit:
no worries, most of the stuff I do is based off a single request :D

is this what were going for?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] oC|-TiTaN:
That looks awesome actually, and nothing in that is colored at all? no highlighting, effects, etc?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] yourfriendwayned:
anyone find it ironic that I am the guy who made the keyboard and I asked above if he asked him (which was me) lol
[Droid X Themes and Apps] oC|-TiTaN:
Haha well since I had mentioned both the black multitouch keyboard and the themed swype keyboards and eventually both you and bad4u replied I wasn't sure who was doing what. I did want to say though that I absolutely love and am using your black multitouch keyboard, I am just too used to swype to be able to switch completely.

Could you possibly make a swype themed similarly as well? I don't mean to insult bad4u's work at all as his pictured above looks awesome as well, but I would definitely entertain the option of having my multitouch and swype keyboards match if it isn't too much trouble.

I really don't know how much work goes into doing this so I already appreciate the time you both have already taken to release what is already available.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] oC|-TiTaN:
Did you actually get this themed or is that just an example? I'm itching for a nice black Swype (and lock screen sliders too, but that's another thread =) )

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jhnboy:
Is it undoable though?

Like I want my phone unrooted and un modded when the update comes out.

*I've heard having it unrooted and unmodded = less problems when updating?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] All~G1:
Yes it is completely reversible. I would say look into the "tips and tricks sticky" & the "rom bible". Search the forums for ODIN & adb, because they will be need to be up & running to revert.

As for the OTA update, there are 3 things that could happen. 1. You'll lose root and it will be locked (till someone roots that specific code) 2. Possibly the code (any code for example) will include something that can cause your phone to brick, not permanently, but it's possible. 3 nothing at all could happen but the update.

If the updates are anything like what we see on other phones, someone here will have that sucker modded by the time you wake up the next morning.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jhnboy:
If its reversible then can't we just reverse the root and lag fix and have no problems with the OTA update?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] All~G1:
Yes. As long as you take the right steps you can go back to non-rooted vibrant & get the OTA

Noticed that the Internet sharing option is disabled in the Orange ROM like in the Sprint ROM. I tried to build a ROM (using Android Kitchen) using one that had Internet sharing and copied the apk files from the Orange ROM. The ROM that I built did not have the Internet sharing option. Based on this, I assumed that it must be the settings.apk and replaced it. No luck though...

Just wondering if any of the developers on XDA can guide me on which apk contains the Internet Sharing option??

[XPERIA X10 General] johndub71:
I'm looking at this in a logical way. I could be wrong, but...

Android operating system takes up x amount of space in the architecture to work. We know the x10 in standard form needs a task killer to speed it up and free up memory.

Surely, if 2.1 or 2.2 are to be more feature rich and the sony apps to be better, surely they will take up more space in the operating system. There fore taking z amount of space.

Won't this crash the x10? This is my thoughts for the delaying tactics of SE.

Discuss?
[XPERIA X10 General] The Gingerbread Man:
I think they have the same problem as the devs here, can't crack their own bootloader.

You are probably right, I'm just trying to add a little hearted humour in :)
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
I don't need a task killer to speed it up and free up memory.. So I don't believe that would be an issue, and there are plenty other phones out there running 2.1 with less memory.
[XPERIA X10 General] -PiLoT-:
Re-opened as its a valid discussion/Question
[XPERIA X10 General] chris_knows:
I always assumed RAM and flash memory were different? Maybe I'm just mistaken because I assume it's like on a computer?
[XPERIA X10 General] Devtone:
Flash mem is the harddrive. The 384/256 is ram.

And you could say the bootloader is (kinda) the BIOS.
[XPERIA X10 General] johndub71:
But if 1.6 fits in with the architecture of the x10, 2.1 could be bigger and not function correctly due to not enough memory say... thats my concern.

Personally time scape could go for me if 2.1 was to work
[XPERIA X10 General] Clyzm:
The core architechure of 1.6 and 2.1 are very very similar. There won't be any noticeable size difference betwen the two operating systems. Ram and CPU usage is actually supposed to be much more effecient in 2.1, so it shouldn't have trouble on that front (plus we've seen phones with similar specs running 2.1/2.2 already).

As far as cracking their own bootloader, they shouldn't need to. The bootloader and their own ROMs are designed to function with each other. If they know their own code, they shouldn't have any problems updating the kernel. The reason our XDA devs are having so much trouble is because there is a huge difference between updating or using your own bootloader that you coded, and reverse engineering the entire thing to work with a different OS.

IMO Sony just isn't putting enough people on the project. I wouldn't be surprised if it's one lonely programmer in their basement working on the 2.1 update at the rate it's going.
[XPERIA X10 General] johndub71:
I look at it from how ive dealt with faulty equipment. They cant get it to work, so they hold it back rather than screw up x10 and upset mobile carriers. Seen a lot of be rate fixes in the past to get round faults created by design engineers on stupid budgets or trying to save a few quid.
[XPERIA X10 General] Devtone:
Cant imagine that. Lot of testing and localization going on. I might be dreaming...
[XPERIA X10 General] kitsVA:
Even that one person could be working part-time for it to take this long. I read the SE developers also worked on Sony's NEX cameras. NEX camera's are getting update next month. So, their developers must be working on NEX camera software, X10 update, X10mini updates, maybe even X8, Vivaz, Windows Phone 7, and the next generation Android (read PSPPhone) phones, and their very own feature phones.
[XPERIA X10 General] peterko64:

[XPERIA X10 General] Bourbon Brain:
I think it's more of an 'Oh **** we've been rooted' and 'Oh ****! XDA devs are breaking our bootloader', so they are waiting and watching to see what other holes are used to close them over.
[XPERIA X10 General] Greenycq20:
Android is a OS like any other, the update to 2.1 will replace 1.6 not installed beside it, from what we know the X10 has 1GB intrenal storage for Android (OS) and installed applications, memory (RAM) is not in this 1GB but there is word that the 2.1update will unlock some more RAM that 1.6 could not alocate.

tell me if i have anything wrong but updateing to 2.1 will be like having Vista on you pc and formating the harddrive and installing win7
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
It goes like this:

1.6 = Windows XP

2.0 = Windows XP Service Pack 2

2.1 = Windows Vista

2.2 = Windows 7

Except that the X10 is far more powerful that XP (in this example) can support.

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] _calum_:
If you don't want to install the whole theme and you're not using an app to create shortcuts then you can modify ic_launcher_smsmms.png in mms.apk

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] superleeds27:
How do i edit Apk's?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] SXUsr:
Pull them from your phone with ADB and open them with a program like WinRar, and edit the images with a program like PhotoShop.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] _calum_:
If your using ADW you can just add a custom shortcut, there are also other apps that will do this.

If you do want to get into modifying the apks to change/theme your apps here is a quick start. There is loads more information scattered throughout the forum but I couldn't find a complete guide (if someone knows where one is please let me know).

The easiest way to start is to use the one click root method (you need root to modify the apk's) and then download one of Chewitts Dark10 themes.

In the installer cmd file for the theme you can see examples of all the commands you'll need to do this (specifically in the app installation section).

Pull the apk to you're hard drive

Open the apk in 7zip and extract the images you want to change

Edit the images (in photoshop or a similar program)

Update the apk by dragging the images into the correct folder in 7zip

push the apk to your sd card and finally to the system/app folder

you'll need to make sure usb debugging is enabled and the SD card is not mounted.

Let me know if you need any more info.

@XperiaX10User: Looks like you were quicker (and a bit more to the point) ;)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] gavriel18:
