[G2 and Desire Z General] tenbeau:
I have the stock apps that come with the phone and a couple of others that I have uninstalled and reinstalled and they are not the problem. I know some people have a hard time accepting that this phone has issues on a widespread basis. Each day it seems that another issue just seems to pop up, but once again let me say that I do like this phone and hate to give up on it. I just hope that the OTA that is supposed to being rolled out will fix all or the majority of the issues.
[G2 and Desire Z General] borodin1:
Reboots, freezing and black screens are well documented and widespread. It's always happens in low/no signal area, someone said their log showed that it hangs on some audio libs. In any case, I hope that upcoming OTA will fix that (it does include new radio).

Hinges IMHO are not as bad as people make them out to be, at least not to me.

How to create a custom eri.xml files to change the carrier name in AOSP roms.

Instructions lower are for making your own.

(((Prerequisites)))

1. Android Device (doesn't have to necessarily be a phone)

2. Root

3. Working adb connection to phone

4. 7zip

5. HxD or another hex editor

(((How To)))

1. Connect your phone and mount your it with adb.

2. use adb to pull the framework-res.apk file from the phone

3. open the framework-res.apk file with 7zip

4. go into the res/xml folder

5. pull eri.xml from the zip file and open with HxD or your favorite hex editor

6. scroll down until you find the provider name (usually sprint)

7. Change the name to whatever you want. WARNING! Depending on your phone you can have as little as 9 characters available all the way to 16. It depends on the phone. I have found that the Hero CDMA only has 9.

8. Save eri.xml, and copy it back into the zip file via drag and drop into 7zip.

9. Using adb, push the file back onto the phone. You may have to reset it to get it to show up.
[Android] TheDanimal:
I used 7zip and deleted the eri.xml file from framework-res.apk. I had found an eri.xml file from another ROM that is viewable in IE; after editing the file I pushed it to /data/. works fine and you don't have to mess with hex editors.
[Android] Ganii:
Tried it with my Hero and some of my custom Android 2.2 Froyo,but

don`t find provider name at "eri.xml" :confused:

Only this:
[Android] hexskrew:
If you don't see it then it may just not have been set on build time. Did you build it yourself?

Either way it should be at this address in the hex edior:

Line: 000002D0

You have the column space from 02 to 0A to edit.

However I would side with TheDanimal on this. It would be easier to just find the xml that you can open in a text editor and then push to /data but I have never done this. Hey TheDanimal! does there need to be directory structure there like in metamorph?!
[Android] TheDanimal:
here is the contents of my eri.xml:

- <EriFile VersionNumber="1357" NumberOfEriEntries="1" EriFileType="1">

<CallPromptId Id="0" CallPromptText="CallPromptId0" />

<CallPromptId Id="1" CallPromptText="CallPromptId1" />

<CallPromptId Id="2" CallPromptText="CallPromptId2" />

<EriInfo RoamingIndicator="128" IconIndex="1" IconMode="0" EriText="Verizon Wireless" CallPromptId="0" AlertId="0" />

</EriFile>

I guess deleting it from framework-res.apk makes it look elsewhere for the file. I posted the eri.xml I use. I had to zip it because it won't let me upload a .xml
[Android] hexskrew:
@TheDanimal - Awesome man! And this also lifts the 9char restriction! 10chars+ for u!

Now if I could just find out where to change the word 'Phone' for the center rosie button...
[Android] Ganii:
Hm,deleted "eri.xml" from framework and pushed framework back to

phone,then used attached "eri.xml" and pushed to /data/ but nothing.

Only deleting "eri.xml" the same,still T-Mobile there :confused:

[Android] TheDanimal:
You may have to use a hex editor then. I deleted the eri.xml out of framework before i zipped and signed my ROM. I'm also using an AOSP 2.1 build.
[Android] raiderep:
That works fine for a sprint phone. Any idea where Verizon is hiding the carrier name? Its not in eri.xml, I've looked.

sent by an Epic4g through the cosmos
[Android] hexskrew:
@raiderep - AOSP is not carrier specific. Actually the carrier name is something of just a stickit really. I am on cellular south but it will say sprint by default cause thats what the builder put as the carrier name. Maybe the version your running is modified to have it shown somewhere else?
[Android] Svid:
This method will work on European Milestone?
[Android] hexskrew:
Damn dude, sorry so late on posting, but yeah I think so.... I would definitely do a nandroid first before trying it :P
[Android] FatChevy:
Followed ur method to a "T". reboot and its black. after unlocking the phone it just comes up with a bunch of forcloses.
[Android] hexskrew:
May be something odd on that specific phone... Just to ask (cause I am sorry I didn't earlier) but are you runnin aosp or sense rom? I have never tried it with a sense rom so cannot confirm that it works....
[Android] Svid:
This method doesnt work on milestone =[
[Android] FatChevy:
Aosp 0992

10 Char
[Android] xUmaRix:
just edit /system/etc/spn-conf.xml.Change the name to whatever u want and adb shell stop then adb shell start

This method i guess will not work on GSM Phone but only CDMA Phones
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HectiQ:
Damn with some apks you can get brilliant hd backgrounds but the icons and widgets always suck they look crappy anyone knows how this comes and if it can be solved or is it due to Android? I can't imagine that our phone is causing it since standard Android wallpapers are never hi res too, but you can get hd walls with special apps. Especially music widget is strange why is it this bad quality? Needed to know.. i won't buy a new phone but I am considering it because I am a bit tired of the ugly image quality or is this on any Android device?
[General Topics] Intervenient:
Most of the time all I see is a set of low res icons that look like amateur hour posted on people's "customized" home screen, that generally looks tacky and unhelpful. I hear the same boring text tones.

Can someone clue me in on what other "customization" is out there? Cause the majority of the time it seems like customization for the sake of customization.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Tubgirl:
Hi guys... DEVS :)

Why aren't any NON-undervolted Android builds being released?

Many people have HD2's where the CPU cannot be undervolted/overclocked and if they try any of the current Android builds their HD2 will reboot or be very unstable!! I think that could be why we have so many "reboot threads" floating around.

Best way to make sure users don't have problems with your builds is to provide the non-undervolted version by default and let people change the zImage to an overclocked/undervolted version if they wanna push their luck. Stability should be the number one priority and in my mind and overclocking/undervolting certainly doesn't add stability... instead you'll have a bunch of people wondering Android doesn't work on their HD2's.

I think that for many nOObs it's difficult to first download a build just to discover that it doesn't work, then trying to figure out that it's because they're running the wrong kernel, then trying to figure out how to change the kernel, pushing files etc etc... you get my point I hope :) Also supporting extended batteries should be included by defaults nowadays since that's another source of confusion as to why their Android builds won't work.

Just my 2 cents... /Tubgirl
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] o.moe:
Why? And how can one find out that his/her HD2 cpu cannot be undervolted?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dlsniper:
Hastarin started releasing this type of kernel, without overclocking, undervolting or axi included, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=787588

Since it's the only custom kernel I'm using I can't point you to others but I also know that the 'official' kernels from Netrippers' autobuild site, http://oe.netripper.com/files/htcleo_autobuild_evo_tree/ are also without any modifications but they don't include extended battery support or interactive governor for example.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Tubgirl:
The answer to "Why?" is that you have small variations between each CPU from manufacturing. They are very small variations but they are enough to cause some CPU's to become unstable if you go outside the manufacturer's specs when it comes to voltage or clock frequency.

If you have problems with reboots then "how to find out" is a matter of trying a non-undervolted kernel and see if Android becomes more stable. But as I said... I wish developers could release rock-stable Android builds that can work on everybody's HD2's... not just the lucky ones with overclockable/undervoltable CPU's.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] apeatan:
Ah, will it not affect battery life? I just remember i didn't seem to experience sudden lags or reboot with the first batch of android builds (there hasn't been custom kernels that time i think):) i used xtarantula's before.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Tubgirl:
Yes, maybe but that's still better than not being able to run Android at all. ;)

/Tubgirl
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] David Balfour:
The short answer to this question is demand. More people want undervolted than not. You can change kernels if it fails for you. It's all supply and demand I'm afraid. As the old saying goes "you can't please everyone"

You are right though it would be nice if they included a standard kernel build as well but the devs put in a massive amount of work as it is and its easier for you to change the kernel that's all.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] v-b-n:
No need for "builds" to be duplicated like that...all that is required is untouched kernel...

I run the Stock Evo one for HD2 from here and NO SOD/reboots/data hangs and equal battery life even without setcpu and taskkillers.

Try it...(Not suitable for CM6 builds)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Tubgirl:
Will that work with extended batteries?

Brgds... /Tubgirl
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hastarin:
No. The only "support" atm for extended batteries is in modified kernels such as my kernel (huanyu added support based on mine in one of his too) and michyprima's.

Since both are essentially "hacks" (at least mine is not 100% accurate for temperature) I'm afraid neither is likely to make it in to the main tree.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pulser_g2:
Moved to Android General discussion for HD2 as not development
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ReganH22:
This might be a dumb question, but how do we know which zImage to use from that list? Do I just grab the last one that says latest? I'm running the MDeejay Evo build. The SOD and data hangs have made these new builds unusable for me.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Tubgirl:
Finally a NON-undervolted Android build that works out of the box. As a big bonus extended batteries are supported as well... and it's fast as hell ;)

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] the_scotsman:
Don't you realise that undervolting is part of the kernel? It has nothing to do with the build.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Tubgirl:
Yes I realize that, but so far the chefs have chosen to include undervolted kernels causing trouble for people like myself.

Now we have a chef that goes for stability and has included a kernel that should work for everybody! :)

Brgds... /Tubgirl
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] the_scotsman:
It's a very simple process to replace the kernel with another one of your choice.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Tubgirl:
Exactly!! So if you want to tweak and try undervolting/overclocking you can replace the kernel if you want to... IMHO the included kernel should be as stable as it possibly can ;)

Brgds... /Tubgirl
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheATHEiST:
Yes and the point is that it is as stable as it can be for the vast majority of us. The minority (you) who have reboot issues etc have the choice to use different kernel then what the majority uses.

Why on earth should the majority have to conform to the minority?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Tubgirl:
It's not a matter of having to "conform". It's better to have a build that works for everybody than just the majority (again IMHO). It's nice for the Chef not having to deal with a bunch of posts like "My phone reboots with this build" or "Why does my HD2 freeze?"

i am truely sorry for you having problems.. but this thread looks to me like another "i want i want, do it for me" thread. I dont want to be rude, but do you really think that would stop people asking "weird" questions? Even if there would exist a perfect uber build or something, people wouldnt stop asking "weird" stuff.. human nature i guess ;)

i have a different view on things here. i like the "harder" (search, read and try) way, that makes me learn something. So, the way cheffs create and release builds cant be that bad ;)

learning english is also a good thing for me, i guess :D

"tyranny of the majority"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyranny_of_the_majority

Just answering your question. Its all about respect and consideration for people different then you. I know its a stupid phone but if its easy to turn off undervolting for people that have phones that don't comply, please offer the instructions on how to do it. No one "has" to... but if someone has the time, they may be compelled to help out and be informative. It may even inspire someone to write their own build and contribute to the community and those with undervolt allergies can sit with the other "normal" people.

Edit: the OP could ask how to do it a little more calmer. And like everyone in life who has a disability, we have to work a little harder at it and ask for compassion... not demand it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Tubgirl:
Thank you for your kind words. I'll leave this thread alone now because I don't want to start a flame war. I asked kindly and have made my point. I'll leave it to the Chefs now to decide what they want to do (of course). :)

Brgds... /Tubgirl
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheATHEiST:
Having a build that works for everybody is virtually impossible there is always going to be issues.

The point is that the minority who have issues with the builds that work for the majority have a choice to change kernel its as simple as that. Do you really expect chefs to release a build that works for minority only for the majority of users to have to change kernels?

Im sorry but that is just a selfish and a n00b thing to say, get a grip woman. If you have a defective HD2 that is your problem not ours, change your kernel when you download a build, simple!

which bluetooth headphone?

According to SGS Spec, our phone support v3.0 bluetooth (not sure how it benefit us compare with version 2.0)

I'm regular jogger, listen to music during my jog is what I like to do, unfortunately, I just had my expensive (to me at least) wire earphone torn apart , might be due to extensive movement during exercise, hence I'm looking at sporty bluetooth earphone/headphone.

I like the dock. How do I set the center icon to be the phone application without putting another icon on top of it? I'm not sure if the issue I'm having is clear. Basically, when I assign the center button to be a shortcut to the phone, it makes me choose an icon for it. The icon I choose lays on top of the phone icon that you have in your image file. How can I fix this?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] biggem001:
i provided an blank icon that you can pick
[Captivate Themes and Apps] TheSopranos16:
I downloaded the BlueDock.zip file. In it, I see 3 Images:

I don't see any blank icon. Am I missing something?

Also, May I suggest that instead of using a blank icon, can the colorful phone Icon be provided seperately and used on top of the noicon image? That way when you scroll through docks, the phone Icon will scroll with the other icons. Also, this would give the option of not having the phone be the center Icon on every dock.

From the Greene Computing website (accessible from Linpack app), SGS scores range from 8 (Android Eclair 2.1) to 14 (Froyo).

But I see HTC and Motorola Linpack scores (Froyo) ranging from 30s to 40s.

Also does anyone know SGS Quadrant scores (with lagfix)?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewluecke:
Thats 14 PRERELEASE froyo!

But it's theorised it's due to the way SIMD is designed on Hummingbird. Linpack says VERY little about real performance anyway though.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prasad:
I believe you have the basic Quadrant ? Well, I have Quadrant Advanced, and the graph shows sections in the bars for each phone bifurcated as CPU, 2D, 3D performance, etc.. With the lagfix, our I/O section for our phones is significantly elongated (due to the filesystem changes). What do I use to take a screenshot ? :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t1mman:
One thing to also add to the balance is that the Galaxy S also has the best GPU available for smartphones:

you also have a dedicated GPU (PowerVR SGX540 GPU) and LinPack is a mathematical only benchmark, so it only test the capacity for the CPU to makes calculation per seconds (MFlops).

Where MFlops is a good indicator, the uses of multimedia applications on modern smartphone is more GPU intensive so, unless you're doing intensive database application on your phone, MFlops are juste an indication.

You can see a comparaison of the full specs here:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewluecke:
It doesn't test mflops though, it simply tests the speed of Dalvik. Similar to what Nvidia did, it is also possible some manufacturers might begin to optimise specifically for benchmarks (and we don't want that)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rawat:
The Linpack CPU scores are lower than scores from Qualcomm CPUs because the Qualcomm CPUs have higher throughput SIMD FP units. This means they score higher in the linpack scores, but this does not translate to better performance on a day to day basis.

Quadrant scores with OCLF are not correct. Because of the filesystem changes, OCLF just bypasses the I/O stage of Quadrant, and scores the highest possible mark for I/O. Quadrant scores with Voodoo are a more accurate benchmark, because it actually does the benchmark, rather than just bypassing it.
