[Epic 4G General] Sh0wNuF:
It is because of the way that android handles background applications, sorta like the difference between windows and linux...in windows mobile phones, if an app is minimized it is still running like normal and taking up resources, you just are on a different screen. For android, if an app is "minimized" then the app shuts down but keeps certain files in storage to open up the app faster when you go back to it. the android OS is smart enough that it assigns a priority to each app based on how often it is used so that if it starts running low on memory then it will stop those apps with the lowest priority. If you use a task killer then it wipes all the stored files from the apps and when you go to open it again it has to work harder to open the app, therefore spending more resources and using more battery power
[Epic 4G General] badasscat:
The longest I ever went between charges on my Epic was the day I didn't use my task killers at all...

Repeatedly opening and closing apps unnecessarily is not good for your battery. Most of those apps are just going to re-open themselves anyway.

Now I only use my task killer if my phone is actually starting to feel sluggish, and in that case it's just a matter of my experience using the phone, not trying to conserve battery. Task killers do the opposite of conserving battery.
[Epic 4G General] Sh0wNuF:
Exactly, if you are going to use a task killer then that is the way you should do it, I use mine to shut down the drm service after a reboot to improve battery life but if my phone is feeling sluggish then I just do a reboot

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jontp2:
Hi all,

I've just setup my phone to sync via microsoft exchange with my windows live account.

All is working fine except for my contacts. The calender, tasks & email are all syncing with no problems however when it trys to sync the contacts it counts upto record 101 out of however many it stops & I get an error with support code: 0x86000108.

I've searched on this & everything seems to point to a dodgy record. I've been through all the records & have tried deleteing various records with no effect.

I've deleted all the records from the device & tried to sync down from the server but it still stalls on record 101, like wise the opposite direction.

Tried deleting the activesync partnership with no joy.

Any thoughts would be most welcome as my contacts database is well & truely messed up
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jontp2:
OK so have tried deleting the exchange partnership & recreating it from scratch.

The old error has gone but I can't sync anything at all now.

Error has changed to Support code: 0x85010014

Any thoughts please?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jontp2:
Come on folks, surely someone has some experience with syncing through exchange.

It clearly is syncing because I've now ended up with over 3700 records on my windows live contacts page & as this is above the limit it is effectively frozen.

I've now given up with windows live & gone back to using google calender & contacts which I must say worked correctly first time out.

It would be nice to have everything in the same place & use windows live as it is designed to be used but unless I can get this syncing issue sorted I'm gonna have to stay with google.

Anyone??

Transparent lockscreen have one problem i think.

With transparent main slider graphic also you cleared "shadow-picture" (under main slider) with the information of new "sms/mails/apointments". Icons and txt are white and totaly not readable.

Could you release "turning back cab" to make lockscreen default? I am dont want to make another hard reset.

I am already knowing "wince cab manager" to make own graphics for lockscreen but i need original ones (not only all transparent).

Thank you in advance.

FullTransparent ManilaHome and my Collection SoftBars​

​

Transparent Taskbar and Softbar At the moment to make it is impossible!

But I offer here such decision:

Take a picture of 320/480 pixels. By means of any program for processing images, cut off from above 25 pixels and rename this piece in HTCblack_taskbar.png. From the remained initial picture at the bottom cut off 45 pixels, and rename it in HTCclassicblue_softkeybar.png. These 2 received pictures, copy in windows with replacement of a file!

The remained middle from a picture, put as wall-papers in manila! Softreset

In archive Task-Softbar-Wall I have made all aforesaid, as an example!

I am sorry for my bad English!
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] jbs68:
Gabbana thank you very much!! you're a chef!! But where you find all this information!?

Thank you so much for all the examples. I understand that there is no other way than cut the background picture in 3 parts! Not bad, I'll try! The problem is when it switches to landscape mode, In this case the bars will be shifted!

But that's okay, I'll try! Thank you for your help! :)

Gabbana, I have 2 problems:

- First, the Manila files you gave me an example, they have no extension?! how are you doing for viewing on Windows PC? (eg 511c6915_manila)

- Second, one image file name are missing (see screenshot below)

And thank you again for your help Gabbana!

After few hours to set both files perfectly together now i can share some screens.

Its not briliant idea but simple transparency is that i like.

Now will be great to know how to move/cancel/add/modify text on lockscreen bar (for example i need only clock with different font - gsm logo and date is useless for me). I am also quite understanding cab structure so the best will be some tutorial which file is for in Windows folder :). Somebody saw tutorials? :)

Here is my new lockscreen bar image.

On screens its look little bit sharpy but on device is smooth.

btw. i have 2 questions:

1. When i unpack all png/bmp files from /Windows/ folder i will keep all graphics from sense? Then (like with my lockscreen) i can just modify it like i want (keeping size)?

2. Black background for all tabs like weather/callendar/settings it also in /Windows/ folder? Any body knows its name? (last times was many cabs only with full transparent for those tab screens - i want to make it 50% transparent).

At this moment i am change home screen for SPB becouse replacing images is not enough for me. I want for example change size and possition of clock and other reminders. I am cannot find simple tutorials for dumps ;) I gave up.

I hope for HD Mini somebody start to release some SPB skins.
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] BHS Interceptor:
Hola, check or search for "manila file names" or "manila file names list". This will give you as result a list with known files, but not which ones are specifically ment for the mini. I´ve spent the last month trying to identify the missing files for the HD2, but there are also many differences depending on the ROM your using. If you only want to mod the "image manilas" (manila qtc files), then you can export them as pngs and thus modify them and then import them back as qtc´s using "cfc_gui.exe" ;)

Hello everyone,

I propose that my screen full transparency, I do not know if it helps ....

The file for lookscreen only works with original (lookscreen - HD MINI) NO MANILA OR WINDOWS (WITH CHT) screenshot1 before - after screenshot2 completely transparent.

The other cab is to create the other transparencies (screenshot3)

I use the ROM was cooked by me, but ....... I think it works on other ROM. Hope this is helpful.;)

p.s. I put all files into a single PAK because otherwise I could not do all the uploading. I apologize: the Pak file (MIC-MINI_trasparenze) is put 2 times. I beg your pardon.

Compcache

See post #3

Swap

To enable swap on partition 3 or partition 2 (it will check partition 3 first and if it doesn't exist it will try partition 2)

$ su

# sdswap.sh enable

$ su

# sdswap.sh disable
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kallt_kaffe:
Installation

1. Flash a recovery image (tested with AmonRA.)

2. Copy the .zip file to your MicroSD card and boot the phone into recovery mode (call+volume-up+power)

3. Choose "Flash zip from sdcard" and choose the zip you just copied.

4. Wipe data+cache before rebooting if it the first install of this ROM. When upgrading with future updates you propably won't need to wipe again.

Hi kallt_kaffe,

On my u8120, i got the same crash, when i touching the d-pad. There is a package which can disable the d-pad, but its only for 2.1. Is that possible to disable d-pad, until the final solution comes? The rom would be much more usable witout this kind of crashes.

Thank you for your great work!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wildgunman:
yes, i mean the d-pad :)

where can i calibrate the touchscreen ? downer part of touchscreen is very bad calibrated on u8120
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kallt_kaffe:
I'll try to make a kernel without the d-pad driver. That may stop the crashes (but you'll have to do without the d-pad for now)

Sorry, you can't. I haven't managed to get the calibration app to work with the Froyo build even though the touchscreen driver is pretty much the same as with the old kernel. I had to hardcode the calibration that worked fine on my phone.

Well, sure, of course you can do it but you'll have to recompile the kernel every time you change a value. :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kallt_kaffe:

The rom looks stable, and faster than custom V845 2.1 roms.

Sound ok

Wifi no

Bluetooth ok

HSDPA/GPRS ok

GSM ok

Touchscreen calibration not so good in portait, better in landscape, but useable

Camera ok

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kallt_kaffe:
The Wifi problem...

Here's the deal. The U8150 uses a broadcom chip and the U8100/10/20 uses an Atheros chip. That's not a problem that cannot be solved but it means two things:

1. We need an Atheros driver that works with the 2.6.32 kernel and we most likely need to compile it against our kernel source because wifi drivers are usually picky if you change stuff in .config.

2. We need to compile our own Froyo as the U8150 is hardcoded to start the broadcom driver. We could perhaps work around this problem by making the ar6000.ko pretend it's the dhd.ko driver. (I have managed to get it to insmod the driver by calling it dhd.ko and hexediting some information i libhardwarelegacy.so so with a working driver we may be able to turn on wifi, but a bit more work is required to be able to turn it off as rmmod isn't as easily fooled).

Number 2 is or smallest problem right now. Number 1 is the showstopper. I've found an AR6000 source on the net that compiles but when I do an insmod, no network interface appear. I've even tried compiling a module for the 2.6.29 kernel (Android 2.1) but has the same problem. So what we would need is the Atheros drivers source that Huawei uses. From what I can see from the versions I've found on the net it is using the GPL-license which means Huawei must release it.

For now, I'm back on Android 2.1 until I find an Atheros driver source that works with our phones. :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kallt_kaffe:
No, thats the one I've been trying to get to work but it doesn't seem to work on our phones.
