Or go to the source, I've bought two from there for 449.99.

And sweet jebus don't listen to ppl about paying to unlock! Do it yourself in 5 mins with the wiki !

I really can't believe u people are paying to unlock!!!
[G2 and Desire Z General] oVeRdOsE.:
^^

In 2010 there was no wiki for a free unlock method. If i'm not wrong...
[G2 and Desire Z General] ptesmoke:
My bad I quoted the wrong guy.., post before mine was 2 days ago advertising paid unlock..

Anyways let this thread r.I.p lol
[Droid X General] brandon2x:
My X has been running slow and a little funny. I have froyo 2.3.15, with FlyX Rom, Revolution Themes, LauncherPro Plus, and Beautiful Widgets all running. Revolution was the last thing I added about a week ago and ever since then, it seems to be running different. Its slower to react, doesn't change from portrait to landscape very fast, whenever I unlock the screen, if I'm holding it straight up and down, it always opens into landscape mode. This seems like a pretty standard setup to a lot of people on here. Any advice and info on this topic would be appreciated, or just conversation about what others are running similar or different. Thanks a lot!

(also, I ran quadrant benchmark with scores between 1440 and 1495)
[Droid X General] CaptainTaco:
I cannot recall whether or not FlyX includes the build.prop modifications or not, if not you would definitely want to make those. Other than that the only other thing I would recommend is giving MinFreeManager a shot, it changes the "low memory" requirements for the built in memory manager (task manager) of android. If configured properly it can really make a difference in both battery life and performance (not speed, but responsiveness). It does not do it for you, it lets you set the fields, so learn how to do it first, it varies depending on your use of your phone, I don't run any facebook or other streaming applications so my settings are 6,8,16,60,60,150 but this could vary greatly, and may adversely affect others, so read up on the app in the market.

Again that app will improve responsiveness, in that it will give you less delay when swyping the screen in the UI and such, in that your phone does not have to kill a task to free up memory to complete the next task, it will not improve benchmarks, at the same time, poor memory management will give you poor performance in real world use but may not affect your benchmarks, another reason that benchmarks are poor ways of measuring performance.

Outside of that, what it really comes down to is our Android systems need hardware acceleration... Google really needs to get of there... well... you know... and get with the game here, based off the recent discussion and their advisement to manufacturers to hold of the release of tablets until the next android release, I am hoping they are currently implementing it, but without GPU hardware acceleration in the UI and web browser, we will constantly have the appearance of choppiness and the illusion of poor performance even on our overqualified phones... it is one area where I am sad to say the iPhone has us beat... very sad to say... as a matter of fact, I just washed my mouth out with a bit of soap...

EDIT: a good example of how well that application worked for me over actual "tasks killers" on the market such as task killer and such... before having this app installed and configured, a quick investigation of "settings, applications, running services" and viewing the available memory, it would display "Avail:16MB+98MB in ##" after having this app and having it configured it displays "Avail:72MB+116MB in 26" I am assuming my poor UI responsiveness was due to the first of the two numbers...
[Droid X General] brandon2x:
Yeah I always hate to say that about iPhones too but they do seem to keep the same speed and responsiveness ALL the time... Oh well, they've been around a little longer so Android will just have to keep working on it. I believe it'll be there soon. I will try that app you recommended. I appreciate the speedy response.
[Droid X General] CaptainTaco:
no problem, yeah, the iPhone has had GPU hardware acceleration in the UI since it came out, they structured their OS around it, Google chose otherwise, and I can only hope they regret that decision now... but hopefully they will make amends for that...

just make sure you read the post referenced in the app itself. It is written for the HTC Hero which only has 288MB of Ram as opposed to our 512MB Ram, but it still basically applies.

Keep in mind:

It does not automatically set on reboot until you tell it to, do not tell it to until you are sure the settings you have set do not mess with anything.

You probably will not notice a difference for about an hour... at least that's how long it took for me to truly notice a difference... I'm not really sure why, it apparently took that long for the priorities to take affect, and get the right processes killed, etc., etc. After that, especially later that day I was truly noticing a difference, especially in typing... I have always had a delay when typing on this phone, and that seems to be gone now...
[Droid X General] brandon2x:
yeah i was guessing that. i read an article at androidcentral.com about it and just set it to aggressive for now. applied it, but the specs under "running services" haven't changed so i'll give it an hour or so. i'll let you know how it turns out. thanks again!
[Droid X General] CaptainTaco:
Sounds good, your welcome and good luck!

If those settings work out for you without any problems, you'll probably want to up them a bit, it might say aggressive, but they are only so aggressive... If it makes a big difference for you then stick with them, if you still have slow down, and you are running what you described before, you can probably get away running settings similar to what I posted, just don't have them set on boot just in case, if they don't work out you can always set them lower or back to a preset. It is definitely something you can expiriment with, if worst comes to worst, you can always reboot, but as long as you don't touch the first 4 values, you won't mess anything up, the worst that you will do with the last 2 is temporarly screw up facebook sync. or something similar, and really you can get away with changing the 4th value to, it just has a chance of affecting more things, but I doubt you'll end up affecting anything with values around 50 anyway. Like I said, experimenting never hurts, slow phones do... Just keep an eye on it ;-) good luck again.
[Droid X General] gunkle:
To add a little correction.if you are running fly x then you are not running 2.3.15 you are running the earlier related release it Is based on. Even if you did have2.3.15 before installing it fly x over writes the system to the files it uses. All roms do. Do you actually have like 2.3.9 I think
[Droid X General] brandon2x:
It does say 2.3.9. I inquired about this before because I used teamblackhat to get .15 and the system never seemed to change to .15 every time I tried to download it... I guess that's why, because of flyx...
[Droid X General] Ubermicro13:
After reading Captian Taco's post I was eager to try it out, and its actually making a big difference =D thanks!
[Droid X General] brandon2x:
Yes it is... its been running much smoother and more responsive all day. Thanks again captaintaco... (boy thats kinda funny to type...)
[Droid X General] pduboise:
Thanks CaptainTaco! Installed MFM to clear up my "lag" issues that are usually experienced in the evenings after a reset first thing in the a.m. each day. Before MFM it wasn't a huge deal to do a reset to clear up the issue, but I much prefer it to just work right all the time. :D
[Droid X General] CaptainTaco:
Hey don't thank me, thank the creator of MFM, I'm pretty sure he was one of the first to discover the power of Androids integrated minimum memory management, if not the first. Just glad to share my discovery of his discovery haha. But yea, to be honest I don't even use a custom Rom anymore, it runs so quick just having that (thought it works even better in conjunction with your standard simplistic task killer such as "advanced task killer" just to kill apps in the foreground after you are done with them, since many apps don't include a way of closing themselves out...

I still try the custom Roms out and play around with them for the hell of it, but as for right now, I rely heavily on corporate integration, and most of the good blurless Roms remove features required for true and proper corporate sync, such as calender sync and the like... and I just don't like touchdown pro... So this helps me out greatly... remove some bloat, throw launcher pro on there, and get this fix fired up, phone runs like a dream... now if only they could get exchange active sync running like it was on Sense... best implementation I have seen of Exchange active sync so far... I do miss that...
[Droid X General] brandon2x:
Well after all the advice I ended up installing the zapx rom last night. Wow! It is sooo fast... everything just responds and reacts so much faster than before. I suggest installing zapx to anyone. Best rom so far I think...

Hi everyone,

recently, i themed my notification bar using this method...

what i did was made a back up of my original Services.jar and Framework-res file first..THEN i used those and copied over images that i want to use.. so i ONLY altered the files that were to be replaced and didn't touch anything else..when i pushed them onto my phone, the below happened... (everything else is fine though).

I dont' know why the CLEAR button and the NOTIFICATIONS title is now replaced and messed up...anybody have an idea??

note: i posted on droidforums.net as well.... and i'm trying to get as many possible answers as possible...:(:(:confused::confused:

You should try apktool.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hd2k10:
Hey guys, I figure I had better ask this time before I brick my phone because I believe I almost did. I was going to flash Elegancia v5 Final to my phone and I must have misread something and I flashed HSPL 2.08. After I flashed the HSPL I tried flashing the Rom and it got to 1% then stayed there and then errored. I restarted my phone like it said to do and I got the "Rom Update Failed" or whatever it was and with a bootloader screen (reset and volume down) I can get to it but it doesn't recognize the USB, only shows serial. Now from what I've read I believe I can download a stock rom and put it on the SD Card and flash by resetting into the bootloader and that should fix my problem, correct? I'm just unsure on which rom to flash, I don't want to do the wrong one and brick it. Found a bunch on this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=655653) and I'm downloading 2.13.531.1 right now because I saw a video linking to that page saying you needed HSPL 2.08 to flash it, will that flash work with my problem? Or is there another one I should choose.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hd2k10:
Found out I wasn't actually doing a hard reset (up AND down volume while turning on or using the reset button) after doing this it would recognize USB (I also removed the Sim & SD because it wouldn't flash from SD), got it to flash using Elegancia v5 Final afterwards. That...was absolutely terrifying haha, maybe I should leave the phone alone fora bit while I'm ahead. Only had it for 4 days and I'm getting way too carried away with testing things on it.

With that said...Core Android here we go.

I don't know if this has been posted or not but I've found an application that allows you to actually override the main X10 lockscreen.

Go to this link (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?7t273fpch1zet56) and download the app (It's called GOTO), add it to your SDCard and install the app on your phone. Open the app, chose your launcher and enjoy a new lockscreen.

Also it showed me the wrong time :(

You can get that without the application but the original lock screen will still be there.

Go to Security>Set Unlock Pattern. Only downside is as I said, the original SE lock screen is there.

Maybe this will put an end to all the "SE didn't include MT because of fear of getting sued by apple" nonsense. If Sharp can do it, I don't see why SE couldn't, other than perhaps cheapness

Anyway pretty much the same hardware as the X10 except for that antenna (:S) never knew Japanese have mobile television and a bigger (better?) sensor in the camera. Battery life doesn't look too great from the specs

This is my previous phone, before the X10: http://www.it-echo.com/2009/08/18/d...le-phone-with-10-milion-pixel-ccd-sensor.html

10MP CCD lens, true LED flash. Also, despite being a small clamshell, the screen was still multi-touch.
[General Topics] Nankov:
That 10 mp doesnt mean its better also its ccd sensor wich is so inpractical and i doubt it will make better photos. I would love to see some comparison photos.

For Singapore, even if it is available, I will not get it as there is no technical support here.
[General Topics] tuxStyle:
I still have the old k750 :)

Indeed... good pictures but i still believe X10 takes better pictures if you use the correct EV and keep the sun behind you.

Oh, with disabled image stabilizer :) which will make the images way too soft.

And ofourse X10 is slower. Compressing 8mp is not easy job.

If you talk about starting time of the camera app, i'm with you there.

What i hate is the compression level but this is solved by using vignette :)
[General Topics] Nankov:
Hahahaha you are funny man i used to have that phone....... i aslo had a k850i and a Nokia n95-4 they both took good pics but not better than the x10 the k850 just had a better flash thats all. i guess some people on here dont know how to use their x10 camera... just go look in the thread with all the pics taken from different users to see how big of a difference it makes.

I'm far too lazy at the moment to take real comparison shots, but here is a shot from the SH-06A with 10MP CCD, and the Xperia. Xperia is on the bottom.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skandranon314:
I just switched from a moment to the hero on our third line that our friend uses.

Had many problems with the moment. So far only one with the hero, but its a huge problem!

Sound quality when using bluetooth is from poor to bad. Caller on other end either cannt hear me or I cannt hear them. So far this is true with all 4 of my bluetooth headsets. These same headsets work with no problem on diffrent phones. So its not the headset.

Is there a known bluetooth issue on the hero? I searched the forums but cannt find anything. I know this could be a simply a bad refurb problem. However if there is a custom rom or some other way to fix this problem I would like to try that before having sprint send another phone out.

Does anyone have issuses with bluetooth on a stock hero?

Any fixes? Or custom rom / kernels that will fix this problem?
