[Captivate General] ce2700:
Ok so after installing froyo and doing root on my captivate I am not able to find a good portion of apps in the market. I know there was a thread about this already but couldnt seem to find it again to get some answers. Could sombody plese help or point me in the right direction.

Also has there been any fix for the serious browser lag I am experincing running 2.2?

Thanks for your time and help. I have been lerking here for a while but finally registered today.;)
[Captivate General] jaseone:
I'm too lazy to find the threads right now, but apparently a lot of the apps in the market are not updated to state they officially support Froyo (come on app devs get on the ball already please) so you need to manually edit the build properties to say you are actually running 2.1 not 2.2.

There is a separate thread with instructions on how to replace a library file on Froyo with one from the Galaxy Tablet, that thread and the other should be in the Captivate Development forum.

if its an app that you have downloaded then keep your finger pressed on it until it gives you some options. Delete will be one of them or you could download an apps uninstaller.

Sorry should have mentioned it was a screen protector.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] pharaohdk:
place a piece of tape onto the screen protector, make sure a bit of it does not stick to it, pull it upwards and the screen protector should lift of.

Do it near the edge, but have the tape go towards center of screen.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] DiST_EL:
Hey which steinheil do u have? Can u tell me if its good? Why do u want to remove it? Does it left many fingerprints on it and are they easy to remove? Is there a rainbow effect when it gets wet or fatty?

Im thinking about buying one too.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Papawuu:
Hi,

So far so good. I rushed putting this one on and it is not straight! It is great though, but does get the rainbow from my fingers sometimes. A quick wipe on my short and I'm good to go.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] sargorn:
I find that with protectors that have been in a while I need to pull away and up to get the tape method to work.

Freshly put on ones come up easily though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] sargorn:
If you're using a cheap thin protector, the sgp's are a good upgrade.

There are plenty of reviews in these forums ans youtube though!

I have the Ultra Clear, and you get the occasional rainbow and fingerprint. It's much less than the cheaper ones I've had before though.

A quick wipe gets rid of most prints too. Unlike one protector I had that would just smudge them around the screen.

Do you use tasker? How well does it actually work?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crachel:
No, you should buy Tasker.

I don't use Tasker's location profiles, so I can't speak for that, but I use it quite extensively for home/work/car/dock profiles and to execute shell commands, and it has never failed. It gives Trackball Alert Pro a run for the money as most important app on my N1. The developer is very active on Google Groups. He responds to feature requests, unanswered questions, etc.

A word of warning though: you will have to spend a little time with it before you "get" it.

Lifehacker has a few excellent posts about it here

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CodeMonkey:
I've used the beta Locale and bought Setting Profiles and Tasker.

The only reliable one for location seems to be Tasker (based on my use of Network location only - although Wifi Near and GPS are supported).

Have a look at the Google Groups for Tasker, and main Tasker site (http://tasker.dinglisch.net/). Pent is the very active and approachable developer, but there are a number of active posters on the group forum who are willing to help.

It is (as has been said above) quite complicated to get to grips with, but I wouldn't be without it now.

Does anyone know if any of the 2.2 Email apk's floating around re-enable the scheduler feature that was pulled in the stock leaked 2.2 ROM? I really like having my work email on my phone so I get it pushed during the day and so I can check it manually after hours but getting push notifications of work emails after hours is a bit of a buzz kill.

I did have to replace the stock email apk as per one of the threads floating around here as I couldn't authenticate with our hosted Exchange 2010 server with the stock app but the replacement doesn't have the scheduler option either.

How to Flashc the gw620 to 1.5 from openetna 2.2 with system.img and boot.img
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ebrand:
Hey guys, i have searched plenty of threads with no fix in sight. I was running stock J12 and flashed Frankin-Twiz Final. Flash went fine, but i have no data connection through Tmobile (3g or Edge). My apn is epc.tmobile.com and it is selected. Everything looks fine. I odin'd back to stock, flashed Bionix's newest and the same thing.

The thing that is weird is that flashing back to stock fixes the data connection, 3g and EDGE show up like they should. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonyz2897:
It's not so much the rom as it is the kernel. If you're running a rooted stock rom, setcpu should allow you to underclock for better battery life, but if you want to overclock, you'll need to flash a kernel that supports overclocking.

[Droid X General] astraelraen:
My Droid X was endlessly rebooting at the red eye. I didn't have a backup or anything so I found a 2.3.13 SBF file and used RSD Lite to restore.

I got the file from a post about TBH on my droid world.

My question is, will I ever be able to get OTA updates now? The version on my phone before this problem was 2.3.15, I've tried to get updates by going to the settings / etc, but it says none are available.

My baseband & kernel numbers are the same between the two files, the only difference is the system version, ie 2.3.15 vs 2.3.13

If I can't get any OTA updates, I guess I'll try to get back to endless booting and get another phone from Verizon. Thanks for the help.
[Droid X General] astraelraen:
I don't completely understand the whole SBF version / baseband / kernel thing here.

But I think the issue with the above SBF from mydroidworld is that it DID NOT include updates to the kernal & baseband, it was only the 2.3.13 system files. However that works?

http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...mental-upgrade-2-3-15-droidx-8.html#post33274

So my kernel & baseband were originally the ones that came with 2.3.15. But I used the SBF and put the system version at 2.3.13

I'm still very confused though, because Flash 10.1 and a few other updates were supposed to come with the 2.3.15 update. However after flashing to 2.3.13, it appears my phone has flash 10.1 and the updates intact.

[HD2 General] tboy2000:
I hae had WinMo for years now with various handsets. Time for me to move on. I have played with the Desire HD rom on my HD2 and I like it. Now WP7 looks really good too.

I want to get one or the other in terms of handset.

They both have similar but also diff specs.

HD7 5mpx cam - DHD 8mpx cam

HD7 No radio - DHD has radio

HD7 No flash support - DHD has flash support

HD7 No DLNA - DHD has DLNA

Both have great UIs

Both have Dolby Sound

I can't decide.
[HD2 General] kurt-willems:
I don't have the attention to give you "the" answer; but maybe this can help you.

Make a list of what you need. (important)

make a list on what you will (les important)

Think on your experience and think on the problems you have got in the past and you certainly dont will again.

Think on the future (I mean next mouth you will have need something GPS...?)

So now you have a list and you can start to look witch device gives you the most of your needs.

okay this was based on needs now you can compare with taste.
[HD2 General] anhyeuemmaimai:
in it's current state wp7 devices are NOT an upgrade to the HD2. I am going to wait this one out as I believe that my HD2 will last me at least another 2 years and then we'll see if the WP7 platform has things that I want in my phone

1. copy paste

2. tethering

3. expandable storage

4. 3rd part app multi-tasking

4. displays better than the sub 1280*800 displays we have now
[HD2 General] mosbarzi:
If I were you, I would just wait till Cotulla finishes the work on WP7 so we can all try it on our HD2 devices. Then if you're interested in it go for the WP7 otherwise go for the Desire which you said you've played with it and liked it.
[HD2 General] morpheus1982:
Hi Tboy2000,

Havent you answered your own question with the pros/cons list above? I would take the Desire HD. WP7 needs time to develop, and the HD7 seems to offer less than the HD2.
[HD2 General] jamieross:
I was soo wanting the desire HD when it was announced, but since trying it on my hd2 its great and all, but my hd2 can do so much more, the only advantage i see over the hd2 is the camera other than that for me the hd2 wins hands down. WP7 is the same (as much) hardware as the hd2, so for me im sticking with the hd2 until a better processor/camera/build.

JR
[HD2 General] Dr.Sid:
Wait at least month after both devices are released. But I don't hold any hopes for WP7. I don't see why anyone should want it.
[HD2 General] tboy2000:
Thanks for the comments guys. I guess I wanted to make a decision soon because I would want to sell my HD2 and put the money to a new handset and if I wait and wait, the value of the HD2 will drop further. They go for around 220 pounds on ebay. I want a HD7 because the OS is NEW and will flourish and develop further over time and developers are supporting it well. However Desire HD is so much better than Desire and the new HTC OS tweaks make it an excellent phone. I just can't decide lol!
[HD2 General] webjunky:
if my HD2 would stop working , i think i would buy the Desire HD.

But since my HD2 still works i'll stick to that since i can run Desire HD Android aswell as windows 6.5 :D
[HD2 General] arikyeo:
HD2. Hands down. It almost has the same features as Desire HD except Desire HD has more RAM, and a better camera. So, HD2.
[HD2 General] Sheikmans:
I had a HD2, but unfortunately 'she' died last Sunday. I read ALOT about the new HTC Windows 7 and Android devices. I also talked with some professional developers and they advised me to go for Android. Why? It's a well developed OS with lots of applications and games. Most application- and game developers are investing in IOS and Android. Windows 7 is a good looking OS, but it lacks many applications and games.It needs time to grow up...I don't want to wait, I want to enjoy my phone.
[HD2 General] juggs:
With the list you have there, seems like a pretty lop sided comparison if you ask me...

Since you have an HD2 right now, just wait until you can play with an HD7 a bit before you make a decision.
[HD2 General] skycamefalling:
This all comes down to personal taste and there have been some good comments and tipps for you to decide what phone would be better for you.

In my opinion, I have tried Android long enough to know that I won't buy any Android-phone until the OS would be completely changed from scratch.

Android is ugly, complicated, unstable and fragmented. My 2.5year-old Diamond with WM6.1 is running more reliable than the Desire.

I will stay with my HD2 with WM6.5.3 for the time being and will step to WindowsPhone7 once the hardware is getting better.
[Hero CDMA General] jtpterp:

[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
Not sure, but I'd think that the aria/backflip would be offered.
[Hero CDMA General] jtpterp:
ugh, ya not a fan of the backflip or the aria. I have my fingers crossed that they would offer the captivate... if not I'll probably just fork up the money to upgrade to it.
[Hero CDMA General] criptix:
http://www.att.com/choosemyphone/

Go there and put in your info.......best phone to chose from is the aria

What i am doing is getting the free arias then going to wirefly and getting the captivate for 69.99 and upgrading to att since there are options on wirefly to keep unlimited data.
[Hero CDMA General] dmwagner:
I would do that too, but AT&T's pricing is insane when compared to Alltel's pricing.

I would be looking at a plan that cost $78.29 with Alltel jumping to about $115.00 with AT&T and I would be actually ending up with less. I am just going to get my Aria and hold onto my Alltel pricing for as along as I can and then jump ship to who ever is the best deal at that time.
[Hero CDMA General] jtpterp:
Ya, i saw that but it tells me I can't order until the 16th, which is why I was curious if anyone was in an area that is able to order.

Looks like I'll take the crappy aria and jump to verizon next summer.

Hi,

I have a branded Desire which have been first unbranded (goldcard), OTA updated to latest Htc froyo update, and then Unrevoked 3.21+S-off 1.5 by alpharev.

Now, i want to make my own kernel from htc sources.

I know linux (using Gentoo for years), but process to flash a new kernel on an android device is not clear for me.

Is this link ok for Desire?

http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-hacks/how-to-build-your-own-htc-evo-4g-android-kernel/

Regards.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mekrel:
I followed Cyanogen wiki for building the HTC Kernel as I found the toolchain from Codesourcery threw errors when trying to compile.

Obviously with the CyanogenMod guide, I don't clone the kernel from their git, instead I untar the HTC source.

I would be interested in hearing your findings, if you do try and compile with that toolchain.

As for flashing the Kernel, I just use koush's AnyKernel - drop the zImage into the kernel folder and then compress and sign, to make a flashable zip.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deathisfatal:
Yeah, basically this. It's pretty straightforward, it can just be a bit finicky sometimes.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Judge584:
Hi,

Thanks for answers.

Mekrel:

For the Sourcery compiler, I have same results as yours: errors and does not compile.

I believe HTC are working with the "google" toolchain, so their sources are not veryfied to work with another compiler.

Using the Cyanogen compile way ( with "google" toolchain), it does compile fine.

I'm happy to see this option in the kernel (Change Cpu Policy While Screen is ON/OFF), but I wonder why it is not activated by default... :

http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/3668/desiredefault.jpg

With changes made:

http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/3707/desiremodified.jpg

It would certainly be better than using SetCpu for me ( I'm using it just to force cpu at 245MHz when screen is off), and not need to hack HTC performance lock feature since I don't want to underclock or overclock my Cpu.

Now I just have to test it...but I do have few questions before doing that:

I can use koush's AnyKernel tool to flash my new zImage, but in case all goes wrong? How to revert back?

-->Can I save my actual boot.img in sdcard, and in case flash process goes wrong revert back to my actual boot.img?

Please help if possible with detailed process (or a web link but I have not being able to find a detailed process for Desire).

Regards.

Edit: Seems for me that Kouch's tool will not reuse my ramdisk, but another one?

-->I just want being able to modify my kernel, so I prefer to reuse ramdisk which is actually in my boot.img if possible.

-->I have tried this way: http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Unpack%2C_Edit%2C_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images, but script provided on this link gave me error because my boot.img has a "Second Stage".
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mekrel:
You can backup via:

cat /dev/mtd/mtd2 > /sdcard/mtd2.img

Then you can use fastboot to flash boot:

fastboot flash boot mtd2.img

The guide you linked to doesn't recommend trying to split the boot.img from your phone (in this example, mtd2.img) due to possible corruption issues, which is why I went for Koush' AnyKernel.

So what you're saying is you can't get the ramdisk from your boot.img via:

% mkdir ramdisk
cd ramdisk
gzip -dc ../boot.img-ramdisk.gz | cpio -i

as this is the part that throws the error?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Judge584:
no, errors came from the perl scripts posted on the link http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Unpack,_Edit,_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images

So to resume:

cat /dev/mtd/mtd2 > /sdcard/mtd2.img

will backup my boot.img but it may be corrupted

fastboot flash boot mtd2.img

will restore it but if it's corrupted then it's useless.

Why can it be corrupted?

Why not possible to flash this way, without the hassle of dealing with boot.img?:

fastboot flash zimage zImage

Edit:

OK, I have done some search: please confirm this procedure to be safe to flash a modified kernel:

1°)Make an Nandroid Backup

2°)Since my Desire is rooted and S-OFFed it does not need any-more signed files, so for me I just have to put my new wifi kernel module (bcm4329.ko) to /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko (via adb push)

3°And then flash the new kernel zImage in fastboot using this command:

fastboot flash zimage zImage

4°)Once done: I will have to power off my Desire.

5°)Then, Power it on again in bootloader mode, wait for 3 seconds and then go to fastboot: the zImage should now start flashing automaticaly.

6°)Once done: reboot to test my new kernel.

7°)In case something goes wrong, all I will have to do is to restore boot via my Nandroid backup and all will be fine.

If someone can confirm this procedure to be right and safe, thank you.

Best Regards.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Judge584:
Ok, my new kernel is ready.

Does someone can confirm that step 1 to 7 in previous post are corrects?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deathisfatal:
The 7 steps you posted look about right - I'm not entirely sure about #3, I don't have much experience in fastboot flashing. You might be better off using AnyKernel and flashing that in recovery.
