[Droid X General] Initial GT3:
Ok so I picked up my Droid X about a month ago and haven't been able to put this thing down, I never thought about rooting it because it did everything I needed/wanted it to do, then one day I log into my car forum and all the OT guys are posting cool print screen's of their phones. I was intrigued, so I rooted my phone and have been trying to figure out a few things but I'm not really up on the terminology and/or logic behind doing certain things. I would greatly appreciate any help in regards to explaining the following:

1) Rooting - Takes off restrictions on the phone so that developer apps can be installed... Is there more to this or is that pretty much it?

2) Flashing - I see this term often but I'm not sure what it is exactly, I tried installing a theme once and the directions said to flash something somewhere and looked at it the same way my dog looks at me while I'm working out at home.. o_O lol

3) ROM - !?

4) apk's - What are they, what do they do, and how do you install them!?

5) Installing themes - I'm thinking has to do with all of the above...

6) Locating and moving downloaded content...

7) How do all of these things tie together? I'm completely clueless as to what does what on the phone and would like to become as knowledgeable as I was when the iPhone first came out and I figured out how to jailbreak/unlock it... :)

As a reward for your time and effort I leave you Final Fantasy VII fan's with a cool wallpaper I found at work today.. Thanks for any/all input and again, your time is most appreciated!!

Hey everyone.

I've installed madacco cupcake because I wanted to use the fully working scummvm for Android to play my really old games lol. Also I can adjust the video screen size when watching videos.

It's running really good but I'm gutted I can't get Google maps navigation on there as it needs donut minimum to install

Does anyone know if there's a "tweaked" version to work for cupcake?

If not does anyone know where I can get a rooted version of donut?

Thanks a lot

I think BRUT.ALL maps works on 1.5 (not sure though). If you search XDA, you will find the APK for it. I have seen it in the Dream forum. It's a tweaked version of G-maps.

[Fascinate General] achandler2:
My phone takes at least 5hrs to charge from 20%. I assume this is not normal. What are your usual recharge times?
[Fascinate General] mackeydesigns:
amazingly fast, i'd say under an hour if i'm that low. Which isn't good either because it'll drain faster.
[Fascinate General] mexiken:
MUCH much too long. Even with a 1A charger, or a 1200 mA charger, it takes quite a bit of time. However, you have to remember that the battery is a big 1500 mAh battery, so it takes longer than usual.

The D1 was a 1420 mAh battery, and could fully charge in a little over an hour with the aforementioned chargers. Not so with the Galaxy S. It takes easily over 2 hours, even with the chargers mentioned. Not normal indeed.

In your case, you're probably charging with the USB cable to a comp, which is your problem. This is the slowest way to charge a phone. Always use the original charger when possible (and even thats only rated at 700 mA). Other than that, get a higher rated charger, or use one from another phone. HTC is pretty good about bundling high rated chargers with phones.
[Fascinate General] ITGuy11:
Compared my my D1 and D2, this thing takes forever! I'd say 4-5 hours...
[Fascinate General] BAleR:
Mine takes a long time also but I wonder if its just the first couple charges
[Fascinate General] bwhite757:
Its not just the first few charges, it is agonizingly slow. The only thing I don't like about this phone in fact.

My OC'd D1 can go from completely drained to completely full in less than 2 hours, fascinate takes about 4-5 hours on the same charger.

Sent using my Sammy Fascinate and XDA app
[Fascinate General] broncobiker:
Mines maybe an hour and a half. Like said above, usb charging is a lot slower, use the wall when possible.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bierfreund:
There are some ROMs around that are deodexed and zipaligned. The ROMs around here unfortnately are themed (not to my taste) and/or have removed Samsung stuff that i use. I want a nearly untouched FW (i remove a few Samsung apps on my own).

So i'm searching for an automated method (that can also be used for future FWs) to deodex and zipalign the files of my phone (maybe only some binaries or java applications and a batch file).

I can manage to pull/push all files from/to /system/app and /system/framework but i'm not able to do the rest...

if there's no automated way could someone be so kind to post some instructions as to how?

[Desire Themes and Apps] morcus:
Hi there ^^

I just found an awsome app that allow to have a better sound on our desire (only with headphones). I can now use my Desire like a mp3 player.

It use a bug discovered in the app "freebox mobile".

Here is the link ^^

http://forum.frandroid.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=26676

(the app cost 1euro, but you can try it for 7 days for free)

Now my question is, does anyone know a native working method to do the same trick ?

I really don't like when my Desire is overloaded of apps.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] bhavik236:
I've actually noticed this a coupla days ago, and thought I'd look it up on the forums to see what else is new... but theres no thread so far about this. (correct me if im wrong)

(and please feel free to skip down to the ****starred paragraph)

I'm using the HTC Hero (unbranded) with the official OTA 2.1 android (unrooted, yes I know... UN-rooted)

About a week ago I had a massively slow and buggy phone. I hardly had that many apps installed, because it was so slow I was forced to download task manager to free up memory (didn't work). I got really worried after because opening ANY app like my emails would cause HTC Sense to close in the backround - and I'd have to wait about 15 seconds for it to launch again.

I just figured it was the official android 2.1 + Sense that started to bog down after time, and considered going back to the custom roms. Before I did, I remembered the number one trick in the "help manual", switch off, wait and switch back on. What do you know....it's much faster and no more lag, bugs or memory shortage! What a shame.

Now I've only just switched it off and on again, and throughout the whole time I've not updated my phone or accepted any OTA downloads or anything really... so I can only guess it's happened in the backround without consulting me.

My sister also has the same Hero 2.1 (Orange-branded) which still has the "old" Android Market.

I hate having to give my life story, and as gruelling it is for you to read, I thought I'd set out all the information just incase anyone picks up on something.

********(Now what you've been waiting for...) I've now noticed that I've got a new Android Market. Its largely the same appearance (white and green) with similar layout for the home page. The difference is the appearance of the indivual apps. The top bar will have "About" and "Comments" tabs, instead of having 3 short comments under the apps description on the same front page of the app.

I really would love to take a snapshot of the screen - but my phone is unrooted :( and personally never-needed/couldnt-work-out-how to root!

Now for the second, and best part. Normally, Android would notify you when there are updates for your apps, and it takes you to the "Downloads" page. This is still the same! But usually you'd have to go into each app, and press update individually. Now at the bottom of the "Downloads" page there is an "Update All" page - which does exactly what it says - update all in just one click.

If you consider the two small changes, its pretty insignificant - and I do apologise for wasting a bit of your time! But I thought I'd start a post about it incase anyone else finds anything new about the market, or if it is available on custom roms or well... anything!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ddotpatel:
Yes indeed, there is a new market for 2. 1. To bring some things into line with what 2. 2 can do. The apk is available from Modaco I think if anyone else is looking for it

[Captivate Accessories] darth_vato:
Does anyone know of a wall charger that I can get from Amazon.com? I think I might have found one, but I want to make sure it works first. It only has one review, and it says it makes the screen stop functioning while charging.

http://www.amazon.com/Rapid-Travel-...9BKI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1287094538&sr=8-1

Has anyone purchase this or another one? If so, I would greatly appreciate it if you could link me to it.

Thanks.
[Captivate Accessories] norcal einstein:
I won't comment on the product you posted since I have no experience with it and don't want to give you any false info.

I use this charger with my Captivate:

http://www.amazon.com/BlackBerry-Or..._1_1?ie=UTF8&s=wireless&qid=1287110435&sr=1-1

It's a Blackberry wall charger without a detachable USB cable. You will have to slightly trim a little plastic off of the MicroUSB plug shoulder, but that takes all of 10 seconds and is going to be somewhat common with most MicroUSB plugs aside from the one you got with your phone. When my phone is plugged into the Blackberry wall charger, it is fully functional and screen is usable, for what it's worth...

I use a bunch of different chargers with my Captivate. I have the Blackberry one at home, I have a Monoprice charger combo at work, a Logitech MicroUSB charger for their mice that will also work with my phone, and random off-brand car chargers purchased at Fry's. All the above will charge my phone without ill effect. I'm sure whatever you buy will work...

This may be old news but I thought I'd throw it out there anyways. From what I've read the Android 3.0 gingerbread SDK is supposedly to be released next week. I'm not really a developer of Android applications as of right now but it still seemed note worthy.
[Android Software Development] tux racer:
3.0 is gingerbread. I suspect your source is wrong.

great news

even if its 2.3 sdk.will be good to see whats going to change:)

Thats cool, because now we should see all new features?

Or it isnt the final Gingerbread SDK?

Cool!

What's your source on this?
[Android Software Development] fonix232:
It may be true. Gingerbread final is promised at the end of the year, so a beta SDK will probably pop up somewhere soon. Google's goal is to have as many apps ready to be installed as possible.

[Vibrant General] Insomaniac10:
Thanks for helping me kill my last hour at work LOL. Just kidding my friend. Im not too sure what the ULTIMATE point to this post was, but i did gather quite a few sub-points that I like. This phone is insanely easy to mod. Admittedly, ive only had mine for about a week, and ive already been modding/flashing up a storm. For the most part, I dont even really research before acting, i just make sure i have all the key steps down so that i dont screw anything up. As far as OTAs. Yah, im all set. Once you start modding, its best you leave your updates to the developers, because once you start mixing mods with stock, youre bound for problems.

PS - i constantly read stories about people OWNING TMobile. HOW??? I mean, I could barely get them to drop my Vibrant upgrade price from $227 to $170. Did they screw something up for you or something.
[Vibrant General] spacecasespiff:
I have not gotten the update yet soon maybe. I liked what you said. I love my phone. There are a lot people that get mad at T-Mobile and or Samsung for there problems. I understand that a five hundred dallar phone should work. If you have issues then done moan about it hear do something about it. I am someone that would rather have T-Mobile fix my problems them me hooking it up to my computer and trusting in something that I don't know anything about. If the update messes up my phone I will take to T-Mobile and the will fix or get me a new one.

Hi Guys,

I like Epic 4G but in Italy, where I live, this smartphone isn't sold. So, I've found some nice offers on ebay to buy it, but I've a question hoping you can answer to it.

In Italy there are no 4G networks, so will it work if'll use it with H3G usim under 3G networks?

Thanks a lot for your attention.

[Epic 4G General] pg2k3:
If Italy has 1900/800 Mhz Bands and you (or perhaps the carrier) can find a way to provision the CDMA to look for italy SIDs it then Yes! it will work. Provisioning data may be tricky though. You would just leave the Wi-Max radio on the off position.

There is no CDMA in Italy, it won't work whatsoever.
