[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] pedrohp:
I agree with the idea of the post. Clean ROMs are much more nice, since the user can customize it the way he/she wants.

I've not tryied this much number of ROMs in here, but i am currently using Gen.Y R2.6 and i pretty much like it...

Icons are default, no fancy themes, tones, splashes, no visible nicknames all arround. The only thing visible is the bootleader (when powering on), that has an option to load Android (witch i did not install). Start Menu is also not very pratical, but you can revert it to old-style easely

I also agree that a good clean and complete guide on rom cooking would be very nice! there is A LOT info in here, but it's all scattered in thousands of threads...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] xencide:
Sorry for the massive rant. For the most part this forum is great if not confusing.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] djfuego:
Waaaaahhh!

:cool: Quit complaining and bake your own. Personally If I was baking my own rom the HELL YEAH I'd put my stamp all over it. No one is forcing you to flash it. If you don't like the look then get your own. Keep it to yourself if you really feel that way. If a cook wants to see how far they can customize a rom why the f%!ck can't they? It's their time and effort they are spending in bettering them self in understanding what makes the phone tick. No one rom is perfect. Yes you read right. There is always going to be something you don't like about something but that's just your opinion. Suck it up and move on.

How do you get the "zoom" transitions using ADW? (like Launcher Pro) I've tried everything and can't find the settings. Animations are turned on, I don't know where else to look.

Thanks.

What type of zoom transition are you looking for... on the preview screens or the drawer

I'm talking about the transitions from any application to the home screen. I watched an ADW demo on YouTube and noticed that it was transitioning between screens the way Launcher Pro and iPhones do.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ISSMER:
Can you post a link to the video...not quite following...but want to help

If you mean by pressing the home button you transition from the app to the main home screen then go to...

Then your not doing it right.

Go to settings and select no animations. go home open any app see what happens. Now exit back to home and go to settings and select all animations and then go back to home and select and app and see the diffrence.

Hi everyone,

I have the Samsung Galaxy s Captivate and I want to upgrade it from 2.1 to froyo 2.2. I understand that ATT has not release it. However, I found this thread and froyo is leaked for everyone.

Here is the thread.

I was wondering if I need to be rooted in order to do this. If so, what is the most easy and most efficient way of doing it? I also want to get rid of all the ATT bloatware, I hear there is a great rom that gets rid of it.

Thanks for listening I can’t wait for your replies.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neckface:
I'm reasonably new to the whole Samsung scene. Needless to say, Odin absolutely bewilders me. I bought this Vibrant, the dude said he tried to flash a bootanimation, and when he did, he bricked his phone. When you turn the phone on, you see the Samsung Vibrant splash screen, it goes through the bootanimation he flashed, and when it gets to where the homescreen should be, you see blackness. However the capacitive keys are lit up. From what I read this is a sort of soft brick. I'm not too sure. Anyhow, I bought it for two hundred bucks because I knew if I could get it into recovery, or connect it to adb, I'd be golden. The problem is I can't.

For the life of me I cannot get adb to recognize my Vibrant, also, when I try and put the phone into download mode I get nothing. Phone Will boot up, go through the bootanimation, and once I get to the home screen everything goes black with the capacitive keys lit up.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

On a side note: I had an Epic not too long ago and had nothing but problems with the Drivers. 32 bit.

Thanks in advance.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sl0play:
It sounds like the rom is corrupt/missing. Can you get into clockworkmod recovery? If so you can then push a rom.zip with ADB and flash it. He should have done a nandroid backup before flashing and if he did its as simple as getting into clockwork and doing a nandroid restore.

If you cannot get into recovery, try the instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=741027&highlight=unbrick
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neckface:
Thanks for the suggestion, man. Just clarifying, not being able to get into recovery mode or download mode, and not being able to get adb to recognize the phone entails a legitimate brick, correct?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Snuggl3s:
I was just wondering if there was an app that showed when I was actully on HSPA+ or just 3G cause as far as I can tell its either H, E or G. I've yet to see 3G. Id like to be able to see without going to settings, about phone, status. Cause I want to run speed tests on HSPA+.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] drsfinest72:
I think if you go to phone status. You would be connected under umts which would be 3g or hspa as hspa+ but hspa n umts its technically the same thing. It never shows hspa+ even though I live within the coverage with hspa+
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Snuggl3s:
That would explain why my speed test have been the same on umts and hspad on the status section =( thx mate

Sent from my G2, XDA app =)
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] provenflipper:
When in a HSPA+ area your phone should show HSDPA under About Phone>Status>Mobile Network Type. The 'H' indicator will show no matter what 3G network you're connected to. I'm assuming T-Mobile did this to avoid confusion between 3G and HSPA+ which is technically still 3G.

[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] vinnyjr:
Just because you are listed on the coverage map as being in the HSPA+ area the towers might not be actally all set up for the top speeds. I live in Massachusetts in a suburb of Boston where we are on the coverage map as being in HSPA+ area but the next town over is ony getting top speeds of around 950 kbps download. The network has not been stretched out to it's maximum yet, you will be getting your speed probably very soon. It is still very spotty. This has been my findings in the Boston area. One town in HSPA+ will get 750 MBPS download (very fast) and just a short distance away will only get top speeds of only 950 kbps (not bad) It will get better soon.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] tdtylert:
Im also in VA and dont see "4g speeds" but it depends on certain areas just because your in "4g" area doesnt mean your going to see it, like if your inside in a building, or just in a bad coverage area. Ive actually did a speedtest under 2 different cell towers and the most I ever got was 5down. They say the g2 is capable of doing like 14, but I dont think anyone is ever going to get that I would say 10 the most.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] agsr4ever:
In the phone manual it shows the different types of networks the phone would show. This G, E, H, and H+. It wont show 3g because H is the same as 3g and H+ is "4g".

Hi,

Could someone separate GPS related files from JM8 and build an update.zip please? I'm running the latest official firmware (PDA: JM2, Phone: JM1) with JM6 GPS files and GPS accuracy is still often scandalous. I cannot risk flashing complete JM8 as Sansung Hungary declared that flasing an unofficial firmware means end of your warranty, so I'd like to update my JM2 with GPS files from JM8. (Having a nandroid backup of untouched JM2 state I can revert this change anytime)

I was wearching i9000 forums and I was not able to locate this kind of package. If someone is knowledgeable enough to create this update package I'd be very thankful. From the different GPS updates coming from different SGS variants and different firmwares the JM6 update gave the best results so fat, but rumors say that there is some imptovement in JM8 compared to JM6 - this is why I'd like to tinker with JM8 gps files without flashing a complete JM8 and void my warranty.

Thanks in advance

I think the GPS problem in SGS is because of the Broadcom chip. The drivers for it were updated & given to Samsung very recently, thus we can deduce that no matter what you try, unless Samsung incorporates THOSE drivers in a FW, nothing will really improve.

You can also try to edit gps.conf file & point it to the appropriate NTP server, it might help a lot.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sanderh:
I own a Desire and thinking about switching to the HD2 because I like the big screen. However, there are some things I would like to know:

- Is Android 2.2 running from the SD-card just as fast as it would be if NAND? And is is just as fast as it runs on the desire?

- Are the colors (especially the deep blacks) on the Desire (AMOLED) THAT much better then the HD2?

- Are there any more major advantages/disadvantages about making the switch from the Desire to the HD2?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] d3vilsadvocate:
If you would wait for a little time, a bootloader to boot android from NAND on the HD2 will be released.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] seal:
I have both phones and the desire is the newest of my phones because I liked a mates desire that he recently bought. I thought that when the desire came in the mail that it would be my main phone but I was wrong. The screen on the Desire is nice but it is way over the top with colour, the colour is is too unrealistic.

The HD2's screen size wins over hands down and you can pick the HD2 up cheap now over buying the Desire HD which looks like it doesn't have much more to offer than the HD2 other than the camera and the new screen type.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pedaah:
I also own both phones, I Like the HD2 for some things, and the Desire for others. But the Desire has become my daily driver since I got it. I Like the screen, and am able to run it at a lot lower brightness, than the HD2, saving power. I think the biggest difference is the weight, the HD2 is all metal and a lot bigger, the plastic back on the Desire really reduces the weight.
[HD Mini General] alex2g:
Hi there,

I live in Australia and today daylight savings for us has just started. We were supposed to put the clocks one hour forward and that is exactly what I did. My time is correct everywhere besides incoming sms messages. They are time stamped exactly an hour behind to what the current time is; i.e my old time. This is a huge inconvenience because when I'm having a conversation via sms, I will send a message and it'll be correctly timestamped and then I'll get a message back time stamped an hour behind, so when I'm looking at the sms messages I have to scroll up to read the newest one received.

I am currently on Tom Codons ROM and a I have just installed the "SMS fix" which I knew wouldn't do anything because Tom Codons ROM is based on the newest ROM available. Is there a way to fix this issue?

Any help is appreciated,

Alex
[HD Mini General] bart3385:
The way i understand it, the received SMS time-stamp is taken from the network system. Not from the phone clock. At least, that's how it works in our country.

Of all the phone i used, including HD mini, they always work that way. Except a couple of generations of Sony Ericsson feature phones, which would base the time-stamp from the phone's clock. (But the network's time-stamp still show up in the details of the sms.)

Maybe the network needs to adjust their system.

Thanks for your quick reply we shall see if the network systems clock has been changed in the upcoming days.

[HD Mini General] _Madmatt:
Hey all,

I have encountered a similar problem. If I receive 2 SMS of the same contact and I reply, if that all happens in the same minute (and it does :)), HTC's Message-stuff puts the messages in the wrong order.

For example, I got an SMS and then I got another, then I reply, HTC will put them in this order:

SMS 1

My Reply

SMS 2

Instead of

SMS 1

SMS 2

My reply
[HD Mini General] bart3385:
That's because your phone time does not match the network time. Maybe off by a few minutes. Your sent message is stamped with phone time, logically. And received message is stamped with network time. So if you're engage in a continuous exchange, each sent and received messages differ by only a few seconds or minutes, then this kind of incorrect order happens.

Try to sync your phone time with internet time. This will lessen the chances of wrong order. But you can't totally eliminate it 100%. Unless the conversation exchanges happen very slowly (for example, one or both of your compose text slowly), with several minutes gap between each text.
[HD Mini General] _Madmatt:
Thanks for the explanation! I thought it was a bug :o
[HD Mini General] alex2g:
Hey there,

Just wanted to confirm that my problem has been fixed. The network finally decided to change its time, resulting in the received messages to be time-stamped correctly.

Thanks bart for clearing up what was causing it. (I was tempted to hard reset lol...)

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Bec07:
Please read carefully!

A very good way of saving battery life is turning the 3G connection on only when needed.

Unfortunately there currently is no api that allows doing that, only two apps that use a workaround and require your special attention for signing.

The first app is Toggle 2G and is made by our fellow member TheMasterBaron and it requires custom signing.

The second one is JuiceDefender's addon "AOSP helper":

If you are serious about rom cooking and want to prove so, please post the name and status(Working, which one of the 2 apps?/Not working) of your ROM.

Thanks for your interest :)

The final purpose of this addition to a custom rom is the ability to switch 3G on automatically(via Tasker or JuiceDefende) when starting preselected apps (like internet) and turning back to 2G mode when speed is no longer required, thus saving a lot of battery)

Please do not post or talk about useless apps like switchpro that is only a shortcut to mobile network settings or widgets that turn off the connection completely.

This is about api level implementation of this feature, if you don't know what that means please refrain from posting,

Yup, a working app is all we need and Tasker can do the rest :D

I only want to use it for selected apps like the browser, market etc.

I also thin it would be best to have an app for on and one for off to ease the toggling process and not accidentally turn it on instead of off since I don't know if Tasker can check the GSM status this way (and if it does it would require a new rule making it more complicated)
