NRG makes some very basic ROMS if that is what you want. There is a Reference version with very little in it - sort of a stock ROM without bloatware, a Titanium without Sense of any flavor, and another basic version which is the NRG ROM without extra add-ons.

also a tp2 should only be 200 with shipping or around 170 without shipping, and a hd2 should be from 300-350
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
I agree with steve here. Energy ROMs are generally the most stable and pretty. :)

HERE is the link to the front page of the thread so you can see the different options. There are lots of options to choose from. I would suggest just messing around until you find the one that suits you best. Happy flashing! :D
[Android Themes] droiduser1988:
Has anyone ported over any themes or custom battery icons over to shadow rom? I have the latest version (v0.2.2) and I'd like a new theme but the thing I want the most is a different icon for the battery, possibly the circular blue one with %, or anything besides the ugly stock one. If anyone has ported over anything related, please let me know! I'm not tech-savvy.
[Legend Themes and Apps] qzem:
I've been searching for some new Launcher, and I came around this GDE stuff. I've tried it and it is pretty great. It has 3D effecst like a cube thing when you switch from one desktop to another. Then I started to search for some theme, and I could find some nice themes for free, but some of the best theme you have to pay for them. So I wondered if any bodey knows how to make my own themes for this GDE application, or if there is some page where I can download this for free, cause the problem is I can't make my paypal account sice I don't have my credit card yet.

here is the article about that launcher:

Hello Forums, new to posting always reading..

After 4 days of looking and googling and about 8 hours of reading today, I can safely say I did some homework but I cannot get my new HTC imagio to work on QPST and/or CDMA workshop. I tried using several different drivers from a whole line up of HTC models going back to the xv6800. I originally installed the VZAM_7.3.2_2506b_HTC which is supposed to be the one for wiindows 7 64bit but the modem driver is not being recognized.

I looked high and low, read the post about the CDMA_usb modem and to change the scrypt. tried everything I can think of. I am sure someone out there that has encountered the issue and maybe made some strives.

I only have my laptop and its a windows 7. Any help or direction I would be most grateful. My phone is unlocked using HSPL, and running Energy room. Thank you for the help in advanced, and yes I do put the phone in modem mode to communicate with QPST, also tried while being sync to WM and without WM but in non modem mode, still nothing. Again thank you very much for your help in advance.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JanssoN:
Did you pushed the modules to /system/lib/modules? Do it with root explorer.

The WiFi module is named bcm4329. You should get it with every single kernel you download.

If yes, try to update the firmware of your WiFi module.

Hi all,

Got my phone a week ago today, the issue started the next day. It happens about 1-2 times per day. Ill lock the phone and when I go to unlock it later, the screen won't wake up. I have to yank the battery to get it active.

Has anyone else experienced this?
[G2 and Desire Z General] funkadesi:
sounds like a software bug, its usually something you installed thats running in the background.

-You can try trial by error and try to detect which app is causing it

-Or, wipe the device and start fresh

I doubt it- I don't have much installed beyond stock, just a handful of items that I also ran on my G1.

[Streak 5 Accessories] neotarum:
Hi guys,

Has anyone tried the Dash Genie for Streak?

http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/dash-genie-in-car-holder-p23796.htm

They advertise it as magic - and we all know magic doesn't exist - so I am doubtful especially with the larger and heavier Streak. I would buy the original holder but this just seems more practical and universal. Also being able to use the Streak's camera as an on-board camera would be useful (Maybe...).

Currently the Dell holder on the UK dell website is selling for £35, which isn't overly priced in my opinion (Unlike the 45 or 50 they had before).

Any thoughts?

PS I would buy the Dash Genie to test but sadly mobilefun don't have them in stock at the moment - I have joined the email list though..

Thanks and best wishes.
[Streak 5 Accessories] ajed:
I got one and the magic really does work. Has sticky and suction base so sticks to uneven dashboard beautifully. Small sticky pad really does hold streak firmly and securely esp. In landscape. Only issue I have is weight of streak makes mount bounce about a bit unless really well tightened with screw on back,never fear it will fall off though
[Streak 5 Accessories] borijess:
Does it work with otterbox case on?
[Streak 5 Accessories] neotarum:
Thanks Ajed for you reply.

What do you mean by the screw on back?

I think I will only use it in landscape form so sounds good :)

Borijess, I'm not sure what the otterbox is made of, but seems like the plastic sticky doesn't work well or at all with silicone, teflon...etc. (According to reviews on the website).
[Streak 5 Accessories] ajed:
there's a ball and socket joint joining phone holder to base. Screw tighten this and needs to be really really tightened to stop streak jiggling about. Otterbox case won't stick to pad unfortunately. I still unreservedly recommend it though.if you prefer a screen mount clingo do something similar
[Streak 5 Accessories] neotarum:
Thank you Ajed for your reply. I will definitely buy the dash genie when it becomes available through mobilefun website!!

...Although, some poor chap hit my car yesterday so I won't have my car for a week or so I guess - he hit a parked car on a bay as he probably had suffered from heart problem or something yesterday.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] swaters3:
I miss having a d pad specifically the joystick from the apache. i tried everything-virtual dpad, assigning the updown keys and the ok and start with click double click triple click, the zoom bar one. reassigning the hardkeys worked best but still was only a fix. I really miss one handed operation without having to touch the screen especially to scroll through an article. I used to press down once and it would scroll exactly one page foward it made reading websites great. Now I use opera instead of pie but i find that the scrolling is annoying use and moves all over the place. Also when you need to edit something you typed, the joystick allowed you to get right where you needed. Ive tried using the hard keyboard but its also not as good as joystickk,trackball, dpad because i have to be in landscape. Does anyone here think its possible to modify the tp2 and disable the zoombar and put in a old joystick from the apache? Is that realistic. I would be willing to pay to have this done because i love the tp2 running 6.5 and spb and dont want a new htc device with android. Why cant htc get the hardware perfect they seemed to fix one thing and make another worse with each new model (apache,mogul,tp,tp2).

Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] khoyifish:
I know I missed the joystick, but now, whenever I want to use my phone for more than a reply to a text or checking the time or something. I just open my phone and use the joystick there. I know its not always conventional, but it seems like the only logical thing to be done. If you notice, more and more of the new phones (most of them are Android OS) are coming out with the Trackballs like the Blackberry's (see Aria, Hero, Incredible, etc.)

This seems like its goin to be the new style, and there are going to be fewer and fewer phones with physical keyboards :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] RicoATT:
I've recently replaced my ATC Tilt 8925 with the HTC Tilt2 because I like the windows operating system and the fully customizable capability I have with the Tilt (I don't like restricted phones with controlled options by the provider).

I do miss the dpad that the Tilt 8925 has. It would be nice if HTC developes a Tilt3 with the best of both 8925 and the T2 all in one handset.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] PDADoc:
It's funny you should ask, because I was just thinking about how much I miss the configuration on my 8925 Tilt! If they could have kept the d-pad and the scroll wheel on the side, I would be happy. Personally, I am not a huge fan of the touch screen, but the genie is out of the bottle now, I guess.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] swaters3:
I share exactly your feelings. I had the apache witht the joysick which i prefered over the dapd but my wife had the mogul with the scroll wheel where I has the slider. They both worked great and are missing on the tp2. Altough I dont think im gonna like wp7 but i was hoping that thr new phones from htc would have at least a track ball but it looks like there qare just three barley buttons on the wp7 pro that will be coming to sprint- search,start and back. What a shame. Im really happy with the tp2 running 6.5 and spb mobile shell and the resistive touch screen and am not happy about what the future holds.
[Captivate General] vbhines:
I just finally dumped Big Red and came over to AT&T (combined contracts with my wife). I'm going from the HTC Incredible and purchased the Sammy Captivate. I was very active back in the Dinc forum, and would consider myself "Advanced" - I did some development, but wasn't yet at the level of ROM Cooking.

I got over here to the Captivate - I'm confused as hell. I've followed my own advice and read forum after forum after forum before posting anything - the Cappy just seems like Greek to me.

Here's what I'm picking up:

1. GPS is spotty, but not for everyone. Mine has always been dead on, but then again I'm not a first-adopter of the Galaxy S. Perhaps it was a batch issue?

2. ROMs seem significantly harder to cook for the Cappy. I see a bunch of leaks from the Froyo build, but it looks half-done at best. Don't get me wrong, I'm running Cognition and I love it for day to day use. I had read a bit online about the lag issues, but I didn't imagine they would be *this* prominent even after rooting and removing bloatware.

That's about it, really. I'm checking back in the forums every day. I'm loving the hardware on this phone - the screen is fantastic, and when the Cappy is fast it's FAST. But I've gotta admit I'm fairly dissapointed thus far with some of the User Experience pieces. The Samsung overlay has some nice attributes (the swiping in Contacts is great, for one), but there are other bits that are wholly frustrating about this phone (WHY would they make the buttons at the bottom time out before the screen, forcing you to touch the screen to get the buttons lit up again??).

OH! And why did they switch "Home" and "Menu"??? I realize Samsung is a global company and that not all of their products are released Stateside, but it's still annoying.

I must apologize, this has turned from a general "how do you do" to a vent-fest. I'd love to hear from any experienced and new users alike. Thanks!
[Captivate General] bytemare:
hi :) I just came from HTC too, I had the Aira, but I broke it. When I went to the ATT store, I saw the Captivate and decided to try it. I'm with you -- the hardware specs are great, screen is beautiful, camera is better than aria, etc. But the programming is lame, especially compared to aria. I haven't had an issue with the GPS, but there are a tons of software issues on this phone, such as wifi just not working at times, the exchange email client almost unusable, lack of languages, lag, and those lights at the bottom like you mentioned. HTC sense is wonderful.

I'm also having a hard time figuring out all of the ROMS and etc out there. I did install one of the lag fixes and it's made quite a difference. I also installed the HPUSA thing but I don't know how to tell if it's actually working. Anyway, install the lag fix, it will definitely help. And if anyone knows of a fix for the wifi, I'd love to know what it is (One would expect that it would just work out of the box).
[Captivate General] vbhines:
What WiFi issues are you having? I can't even "see" any WPA networks. I have a Verizon FiOS router and can't see it because I'm assuming the WPA security. I tried switching to WEP though and still couldn't see it. I've search all over the web and XDA and can't seem to find anyone complaining of the same issue.
[Captivate General] mindfrost82:
I haven't had any problems with Wifi and use WPA. I can see all of my networks (which are G, not N).

The button thing is kind of annoying, so I agree with you there. My GPS has been hit or miss, but I bought this phone used, so I'm not sure if it was a first batch model or not.

There's not much in the way of ROMs. There's stock and leaks, then there's Cognition and Eugene's, and that's about it. All of those are based on a leak or stock build, so they'll usually contain the same problems as the stock/leak build.

We're supposed to be getting a CyanogenMOD ROM sometime, or at least be able to port it...but I'm sure they can't do anything until Samsung releases the source for Froyo.
[Captivate General] hokiemiata:
Anoter HTC convert here, but I came from the Pure.

GPS is definitely an issue. Mine improved with the OTA update to JH7. Its still not as accurate at highway speeds as the HTC.

HTC sense Rules compared to the UI in the Cappy. Im hoping that improvements will come as 2.2 is more widely adopted.
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
That has NOTHING to do with Samsung. At all.

Do a little research and you'll see almost every phone has a different arrangement of the four buttons.
[Captivate General] dayv:
Just going to answer the part of your question about the lag and lag fixes.

The lag on the galaxy s phones is the result of samsung using rfs file system - rfs has a much slower input/output read/write than ext* file systems generally found on linux distros. This is the lag that is being refereed to in the lag fixes.

so as long as samsung continues to put out official roms with rfs file system there will always be an opportunity for a "lag fix" with ext2 (i.e. ryanza's OCLF) or ext4 (i.e. voodoo).
[Captivate General] Krad:
hello_______
[Captivate General] sdotbrucato:
GPS is hit or miss, but on the FroYo leak it has gotten much better, unfortunately Samsung released the phones with brand new hardware and apparently didn't test...

The lag is as mentioned another Samsung fubar along the lines of using an inferior file system.

I think the reason for lack of ROMs is most people are waiting for FroYo to launch. We just got our first beta build leaked this week. Once source for the new kernel gets released, we should see a lot more activity as far as that goes.
[Captivate General] vbhines:
I've done a lot of research, and I alluded to that point in my post. Survey the *American* market and empirically you will see that of the slate Android phones, most have the buttons in the order Home, Menu, Back, Search. And I would argue that it has everything to do with Samsung - unless you're implying that someone else designed the layout of the buttons on their device. After all, they are the reason the European variant of the i9000 has three buttons like the X10, correct?

Funny.

Thanks, dayv. That's a good explanation and gives me some idea of where to go from here.

As for an update, turns out the WiFi issues were strictly hardware. After putting in a bridge with my FiOS router and still not getting any improvement, I took it back to Best Buy and swapped it out. Connected the second I got home. Unfortunately, the touch buttons were totally borked and I had to do a battery pull three times in 20 minutes because apparently the buttons would "touch themselves when they thought of me." In other words, you could see the buttons flash on and off, feel the haptic go crazy, and all kinds of strange stuff on the screen. Yet another swapout and I'm good to go.

I also installed Eugene's Frankin-Twiz last night - it really helped improve just about everything. Hardly any lag at all and I'm liking the associated themes available. GPS on my new device works great too.
[Captivate General] sschrupp:
I imagine we can also add to this that the Captivate has only been out for not quite 3 months if I recall correctly. So between the newness and people holding their breath for Froyo I could understand people's hesitancy to invest a lot of time and energy in making a soon to be outdated ROM.

I'm sorry but I to came from the htc aria, awesome little phone. I bought the aria because I thought the sense ui was pretty awesome. After using Cyanogen mods on the aria and playing with other launchers and now playing with tw launcher, sorry but sense ui is crap and for noobs . I got over the whole sense ui about a week of owning the aria and wasn't able to use it after adw and launcher pro.

Sorry had to post it. I just don't feel you can use an androids phone ui to bash another phone. I have only seen a few who use any androids phone stock ui any way and I'm one of them and as basic as it is it still makes sense ui look a babies toy.

[Captivate General] bigdaddy4u:
Curious because I'm considering returning the captivate for the aria (other than the Screen the Captivate Really Kinda Sucks). If you had it to do again would you pick the Aria over the Captivate?
