I think that is just a way for them to handle calls rather than actually provide cusomer service. From everything I've seen, Gingerbread is only officially supported on devices running 1Ghz+ CPUs I'm sure there will be work arounds, but for them to "reserve" upwards of 2 gigabytes for future 2.2-2.X updates seems a bit ridiculous. I'll admit i dont know really how to verify how much space is on a device in potentially unformated space, but it seems like enough knowledgable people on here know how to check that out and they are still coming back with less than 4 GB. I'm glad i held off on getting the device, but if I had preordered and were experiencing any problems at this point, I'd call and report the problem. but I'd hold off on any actual action until an official fix is reliably available for all known issues (hinge, storage, what have you.)
[G2 and Desire Z General] Jorsher:
I'm surprised you haven't seen that it's incorrect :P

You see all those 1ghz phones? Yeah, they're below the G2.

Hello Guys,

I am new to android and it's very interesting for me to go through the discussions of rooting and other stuff. Brilliant!!

I just bought wildfire recently and hmm.. resolution is disappointment for me. I despirately need two things:

1. Hack for HVGA resolution.

2. Live wall paper.

It seems live wall paper is possible from my understandin after reading threads though. Is it possible and please advice me on this regard.

Thank you in advance.
[Wildfire Android Development] niksakl:
Dude, no hack can push things over hardware limits... I m no android developer, but if you need higher resolution look for another android deveice..

[Wildfire Android Development] vijaykr1985:
I already checked lcd density app, but seems doesnt work perfectly.
[Wildfire Android Development] kevin2516:
I duno about you... but i think it will be really really hard for software to alter the hardware of a phone. hvga on the wildfire would be awesome... but not any sooner :P
[Wildfire Android Development] blingblingslyna:
not the app, i mean check the thread! you cant use the app u must change manually in system/build.prop

[Wildfire Android Development] beardyone:
i am using LCD Density for root. it works fine for me, on wildpuzzle v8

resolution reverts back to standard after reboot but it takes a few seconds to change again. and i don't reboot that often.

LCD Density changer never worked for me. But LCD Density for root (different program similar name) works fine and allows me to set my density to 100 (where 120 is default density) this certainly changes the resolution, whether it changes it to HVGA i dont know, but it is deffo higher resolution. with launcher pro set to 5 rows and 5 columns i have a lovely looking phone now. just waiting for our super fantastic devs to look into an overclock kernel and i will be set :)
[Wildfire Android Development] vijaykr1985:
I think you need to set density to 76 (not sure) to reach HVGA resolution and your screen looks fine though. Thanks for your information.
[Wildfire Android Development] beardyone:
ahh, i am well off then lol. with LCDDensity for root the lowest you can go is 100.

but like one poster above me said, i spose if you want a HVGA screen you pay the premium price for it. i am happy with my wildfire, i have to be, my wife won't let me buy a new phone for another year! i go through to many apparently. we will see though, if i buy a desire she may not know the difference ;)
[Wildfire Android Development] cybercool10:
Not Possible IMO , Though I have also Worked with LCD Density Changer (Beansoft) Wildfire Looks Good With Density 100 / 110 , Any lower than than and the menu text and the Notification Icons looks Crappy.

We would need Hardware Upgrades (Better LCD) In Order to Increase it :-/ I So wish we had Better screen , Resolution is the worst Issue on Wildfire.
[Wildfire Android Development] ashymac86:
I just tried lcd density changer, 110 setting did nothing and 100 setting screws up the lockscreen slider and makes it laggy.
[Wildfire Android Development] cybercool10:
^^ Do it by small Changes , The Stock Lockscreen looks good at 100/110 , The HTC One Screws up.

I hate the Icons at Notification Bar , at 100 , too Small :P
[Wildfire Android Development] ashymac86:
true, it was the htc one that screwed, im looking at a mod to disable lock screen altogether though. kept it at 120 and did the 5 columns and 5 rows launcher pro mod.
[Wildfire Android Development] HCDR.Jacob:
You guys do realise that it's impossible to get HVGA on a QVGA screen?

LCD Density changer gives effect of Hi-Res Screen, but it makes a lot of apps look worse (Paper Toss is a prime example of this)

All it does is rescale some UI elements, not changes any hardware :)
[Wildfire Android Development] cybercool10:
LOL , Yeah We know :) LCD Density is just about "Feel-Good-Factor" :P
[Wildfire Android Development] nike_bytom:
hi

Thanks for that

It works perfect, 110 is the best for me looks ok beter then 120 :)
[Wildfire Android Development] beardyone:
i seeeeeee. i read the full disclaimer now on the lcddensity app and it does say it 'virtually' changes resolution or something similar. it was something new to try anyway, and it looks good :) i have had the phone for 3 weeks now and i dont think there has been a single night where i havent had it in my hands flashing roms and trying apps.
[Wildfire Android Development] vijaykr1985:
Oh well. So no other way to make resolution high? :(
[Wildfire Android Development] cybercool10:
Resolution Can't Increased Without a hardware Upgrade , So No Can Do.
[Wildfire Android Development] radu_brd00:
110 seems to look best on the wildfire ... at least for me :)
[Wildfire Android Development] cybercool10:
Yup , I also think 110 gives the best result :)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Edzio:
Well I'm trying to ROOT my HTC Desire. And for that I need HBOOT 0.80 or lower. I have HBOOT 0.92 so I searched what I have to do to get a HBOOT 0.80. And from what I have understood I had to downgrade my device. So I followed the tutorial to do that, but it doesn't work because I says that the update failures and that the main version older is.

So what am I doing wrong?

I followed this tutorial:

mikesouthby.co.uk/2010/08/htc-desire-downgrading-hboot-and-installing-custom-froyo-rom/

And I got stuck at this step:

Press the Volume Up key to begin the downgrade process. Once the downgrade has started wait until all of the steps have completed, your Desire will automatically reboot during this process. It’s important that you do not interrupt the power or turn your phone off whilst the downgrade is talking place

But instead that the downgrade process starts it stops and says:

The main version is older! Update fails!

That is what I am trying to do.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] green_archer:
there is a new method now (using unrevoked tool). As far as i know HBOOT version does not matter and its just 1-click and your rooted. :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
IF the unrEVOked 3.21 method doesn't work for some reason, follow this guide to downgrade (it works for everyone, if it doesn't for you you're doing something wrong)...

As Eddyos says if you follow the instructions on the link he posted you can't go wrong! I went from Froyo with hboot 93 back to 2.1 using this very method, I then installed a pre rooted Froyo using clockwork recovery to flash it.....If I can do it......;0-)

I am fed up with stock x10 ringtones. Is there any way to use my own ring/alarm tones? Thanks
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PollPixx:
Of course, I use kiss ringtones from the market, a lot of beautiful tones you can download and directly set as ringtone or assign to a contact. Also you can download zedge, which is basically the same....

News ringtone made an app called ringtone player which you also can choose from your own music, don't know how it works, didn't try it as I am very happy with kiss ringtones
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tready:
If you wont to use your own mp3s as a ring tone just download astro file manager. Find your music folder open it choose a song long press it you will get a pop called file opions choose music option then set as ring tone
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XdaNonDeveloper:
Or just open the music file in mediascape then press the menu( left most hard key) button and select use as ringtone.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
Create a folder on your sd card called audio. Create four new folders within that labelled...

alarms

music

notifications

ringtones

...any tones you put in the three tone folders will show up in the appropriate choice window, so any tones in alarms will show up when wanting to change the alarm tone, and so on.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PollPixx:
Will test that too, didn't know, thanks for the advice. Cheers
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slvrback:
I use an apparently called Ringo lite, put your mp3's in a folder called ringtones on ya sd card, you can then add them as ringtones or message tones, it even lets you assign different ringtones/message tones for each of your contacts

Hi, I have just received my new Captivate and quickly root my phone using the "Unleash the Beast" tool.

Everything works fine now, except that the tool also remove the "Mobile Video" app, which I actually like. I wonder how I can get it back.

Thanks a lot!
[Captivate General] quarlow:
Odin

I've said this before. Unleash the beast is too iphoney for me. I left that scene because I wanted control. Its a great idea, but differing tastes on what defines bloatware cause issues.

I root my phone then use titanium backup to remove the bloat I don't want and keep the bloat I do. I never have use for wifi tether or sideloading. If there's an app I want I use android central sideloader from a computer. To me, the decision to go android was primarily for customization, so unleash the beast wasn't my cup of tea.
[Captivate General] RexEscape:
See if this works. Disconnect WiFi if you're on it. This must be done via 3G. Point your browser to: http://cingularvideo.cingular.com

I noticed that if my browser, email, Google Maps, etc. are active while on WiFi, when I disable WiFi to start using 3G again, those programs don't "catch on" right away to that new connectivity. So I almost always have to restart those apps.
[Captivate General] boborone:
Kinda my feelings as well. This is my first android phone. Taking it slow. Rooted with just a root. Enabled side load by changing settings.db myself. Installed pre8. Reading all I can. I like to know what I'm doing to the phone. If it messes up, I know what I did to jack it up. I can fix it. If I can't, at least I know what's going on so I can ask an intelligent question. Like you, its what Iwant done, not a pretty installer of someone else's vision.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HairyBones:
Hi,

I recently received my phone back from HTC repair. It's an unbranded hero, the software on it is :

Firmware v : 2.1-update1

Baseband 63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.11

Software : 3.32.405.1

It wants me to download the following OTA update: "system upgrade 3.32.405.2 (5.87mb)"

I had no problems rooting the phone the long way from 1.5 when I first got it, but after I sent it back to htc the first time (unresponsive lower touchscreen) I tried to use the oneclick root method unsuccessfuly (it said root successful but it said permission denied when I typed "su" etc), and then the phone became essentially bricked when I allowed it to dl the OTA update. I don't want to make the same mistake again!

Which root method would you guys recommend I use this time?

Many thanks!

I think I'd prefer to do something other than the 1 click root after what happened last time!

The villain method says its for 2.1 ROM RUU - is this what they will have used at the repair centre? Does it tie in with the sotware version I posted in the OP? Or should I use an RUU and then follow the method to be sure?

I've been without my phone for 7 weeks now, just don't want to mess it up again! But equally I dont want to be stuck on an unrooted phone :P

Until someone figures out how to edit Sense to hide the icons I think FolderOrganizer is the best bet. I've used BetterCut but found it to be painfully slow. And, I do not think it will hide the labels anyway, only change icons)

The other thing I have grown to love about Folder Organizer is that it shrinks the icons a little bit which I prefer. When using Launcher Pro I could hide the labels at the icon's regular size but after going back and forth between Cyanogen and Sense ROMs I have come to prefer the look of smaller ones.

Only suggestion I have is try multicon...if u do a 1x1 widget and set it to one app, it'll remove the label...however, it will enlarge the icon...a lot. If u set it to 1x2 and do 3 icons, it looks pretty good, so long as the icons are high quality.

Aside from that, I haven't seen any widget type apps that will allow removal of text...
