thanks fenixjn. i had no idea it was anything like that. i thought it was either the same command as an anb shell ( mount /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system) or mount -o -rw /system. thanks for giving me the correct info.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElimElim:
Hey all

i will probably be getting a htc desire on a tmobile contract, along with an extended battery as ive read that the battery life is pretty poor.

This will be my first android device, and ive read and learnt a lot since i found this forum :D

ive heard that custom roms are much better than the original stock ones, for saving battery etc.. espcially underclocking the cpu etc.

Now my question is what is the best rom for battery life and improving it? and how do i go about installing it onto my device? ive checkede links but its a bit confusing, if someone could help me out would be appreciative.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h3llb3nd4:
for installing custom roms, read

properly.

as for which rom sucks less juice, you'll have to experiment yourself.:)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElimElim:
hi thanks, ive seen that link

should i do the rooting method? also will my network still work after i do all of this?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h3llb3nd4:
well, you'll have to root your device first :)

and of course your network would still work :)

do i need to make a "goldcard" ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h3llb3nd4:
Is your phone branded by your carrier? if not, then there's no need
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cyanoid:
That's a good question... because I'm about to burn my first ROM (LeeDroid), and the post with all the instructions for installing it says nothing about it requiring a gold card. But I do have a branded (Telus) Desire. I thought the gold card was only necessary for the official Froyo RUU from HTC; ie. non-rooted?

Do I need to create a gold card for a (rooted) LeeDroid ROM? :confused:

(FWIW, I don't plan to ever do OTA updates. If I ever change the OS, it'll be by installing another custom ROM).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zHk3R:
Goldcards are used to ROOT the phone if it's operator-locked, not to flash a ROM.

In order to flash a ROM you need to be ROOTED and have a CUSTOM RECOVERY IMAGE

So compared to my old nokia dumbphones, i have found the in call volume on the Nexus to be too low. I have the volume set to max, and im using a sipdroid/gv/gizmo setup to make calls. The phone is unusuable to my ears in a loud environment. Any help to make the volume louder would be appreciated.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Since you're using SIPDroid, how would altering a call volume help you?

You could look for "audiomod" (rising Nexus call volume), several ROMs contain it, but I think it won't help you.

Hi,

I am all confused about what is this JM8 and JPM and JP6. Would someone please guide me. I know they're modem firmwares and SGS firmwares but please would someone elaborate the differences.

Regards,

Sultan
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sardroid:
JM8 is 2.1(Eclair rom),JPM and JP6 are 2.2(Froyo) roms.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sultansaadat:
so which one is better?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sardroid:
I'm using Scandinavian JP6:)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sultansaadat:
i am using JPM. Froyo is same for all? just kernel differences i guess?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewluecke:
Froyo has a lot of changes, including JIT, official Flash support, stereo FM Radio bug is fixed, Apps can do more stuff, etc.

Some things Samsung had already backported to eclair though. However, in summary, there isn't really any reason to use Eclair anymore..
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pettigrew95:
I use the facebook app and twitter app so can I just go into clockwork and mount /system and then just rm peeps apk and odex or do I have to run a uninstall command? Same for installs, do i just add the apk and odex or run an install command like pkgadd or something along those lines? Thanks!
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fermunky:
For any of the apps preinstalled to system you would need to go to recovery and mount system as you mentioned and rm the apps. For installing, some work by simply copying the apk to your phone/sdcard and running them and others have to be moved to the system folder in recovery. I know this is also different based on the RON you're using possibly...
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pettigrew95:
Ok thanks, I just wanted to know if I needed to do uninstall/install commands or just simple rm. Thanks!
[Epic 4G General] KaiserLinux:

[Nexus One General] x986123:
Who is switching over to Windows Phone 7 if Gingerbread is not what it is hyped up to be. (No new UI, broken features, market not fixed up... ect.)

If Google doesn't fix it up. I prefer a polished, fully working OS compared to a bunch of ROM's that each have their own features, and no one ROM has all the features in one.

Windows Phone 7 will integrate with Windows 7-8, Xbox 360, home servers, and will have Xbox Live marketplace support. I find all this integration a huge feature that will probably bring me over. Microsoft is also said to be creating their own cloud for WP7, Skydrive, and if all Microsoft system's have Xbox Marketplace, why wouldn't Windows 7?

I love tight integration and the ability to share with ease. I find Android takes a while at moment to do simple things, like search the market for that one great app, or have a music player that is feature packed and has the ability to share with desktop speakers.
[Nexus One General] elmerendeiro:
I am waiting for gingerbread, then i will make my decision...unless it has a MAJOR UI rework, some serious gaming capabilities, new media player ecc. I'm switching to WP7...

very sad to see snapdragon wp7 devices running cool ui and games with advanced graphics while our nexus can't because of generic drivers and fragmentation of hardware platforms in the Android panorama...it's like consoles vs pc's

consoles: you do what sony or nintendo or MS decide you can do, but code is fully optimized and developed for that platform, meaning better performance, no waste of power

pc: you can do what you want but code isn't optimized because of the infinite hardware configurations, so you need more power to run same games.
[Nexus One General] x986123:
Completely agree with you. I am against Apple's policy for the iPhone, but WP7 is in between Android and iOS. It hits the sweet spot IMO.

If you want to talk about PC OS's though, I have OSX running on my Windows Gaming PC, so it is technically more open then to just their systems. That why I like it too.
[Nexus One General] tameracingdriver:
Looks nice, but no copy and paste? Until they get that sorted, I'm ooooot! :D
[Nexus One General] ap3604:
Glad you like XBox integration x986123 and are switching to a better OS for your needs.

I will stay with Android and Google's developer baby :)

In my opinion Google has shown that are willing to give their users more value with free toy's that really help out in everyday life (Google Voice, Google Maps Navigation, Tethering etc) that other giants like Microsoft and Apple just don't seem to care about. This lets me know that Google really cares about bringing value to their customers rather than just selling them a phone and wanting to make more money and so I can trust Google to continue to do this in the future much more than I could with Microsoft.

Also it seems from your 1st post that your main argument for switching is xBox integration wheareas I could care less about that... I don't have an xBox
[Nexus One General] stinkypete:
Yup! I certainly giving it some good thought. I'm also going to decide after the Ginge, but i'm not going to hold my breath.

Also i'm very unhappy about google's attitude towards privacy and data
[Nexus One General] N8ter:
Lol. You dont need an xbox for xbl integration, clueless.

I doubt ginger will fix androids peoblems. It will just further fragment android and lots of people will be surprised when they find out the carrier/manufacturer will not update their phone. Happy hacking?

Btw google voice is close to useless after you get over the "new toy euphoria."

Everyome knows Bing has had voice guided navigation forever (out of beta before Google's), so I don't know why you're mentioning that...
[Nexus One General] tameracingdriver:
Why would you bother using XBL integration if you didnt have an xbox? Just curious?
[Nexus One General] N8ter:
Yep, and the market is terrible. Allowing developers to put permissions on their apps that make no sense whatsoever, and change them in updates.

I want a phonr I don't have to load up with apps, and an os that doesn't let everything run as a service. I'm about to factory reset again because my phone cannot sit idle for 6 hours without dying from a full charge, and I've pretty much uninstalled all my apps, lol.

Not even funny. Worst mobile platform I've used - ever.
[Nexus One General] N8ter:
Why bother asking rhetorical questions?

Google is your friend. We aren't here to hold your hand, sweetie.

Why get an iOS device for gamecenter if you don't have a mac? Etc. It's just a dumb, rhetorical question, especially coming from an android user, who can do nothing but wish this platform had decent games, neverming anything comparable to gamecenter or xbl.

WP7 games go not require an xbox. Xbox integration is	perk, not a requirement. Ciao!
[Nexus One General] RellikZephyr:
Maybe the second generation, but really the wp7 phones that are coming are unfinished. It is missing so many features.

I believe they shouldn't release wp7 yet, but I can see the want to make money while they finish developing. But releasing it unfinished will prob put a bad taste in peoples mouth's and turn out bad for what could be a decent platform

Rellikzephyr
[Nexus One General] ap3604:
Check your attitude at the door when you come to Xda... it aint welcome here, got it?

Yeah your right... free text messaging, voicemail transciption, and having an all in one number for all of your phones in case of an emergency sounds like useless features.

I'm mentioning it because for anyone who has actually used Bing's voice guided navigation like I have, it really pales in comparison to Google's more polished product:

- Doesn't work when screen is turned off to save battery / less heat like Google Maps Navigation does

- Doesn't turn off music when saying directions so you can't hear the directions over your music like Google Maps Navigation does

- Doesn't give you alternative route options to avoid traffic like Google Maps Navigation does

- Doesn't give a 3d point of view like Google Maps Navigation does
[Nexus One General] bastie87:
Well,

should I switch from my beloved Nexus that provides me with great features neither mom's iPhone nor my former WM6.5 phone had for an OS made by Microsoft? :D

That would ruin my statistics (no Win PC in my household)

So - of course I will never switch to Windows Phone whatever :D

(I do not like the "homescreen" of win phone 7 either and as mentioned above - no clipboard? wtf? who would release something like that?)
[Nexus One General] erikiksaz:
After getting used to the ability to fully customize our phones, I don't think I could make the switch to wp7. Just the lack of homescreen customization is enough for me to reconsider. Unless they allow for different launchers, it will not do.
[Nexus One General] nexusdue:
You mean the missing copy and paste in Android? It is a shame that Google has been unable to fix that even in 2.2.1.

How anybody can create a mobile OS in 2010 without copy and paste is beyond me, especially if they just have to copy Apple's copy and paste which works really well.

Could not have said it better myself. Android has hundreds of features but only half really work well. Until that gets fixed, less is more ... and I rather have 50 features that work well and work all the time than hundreds that don't work at all.
[Nexus One General] JHaste:
man this dude is full of hate toward android and mind you hes prolly still running touchwiz on that vibrant :P

I hope that we get a w7 port for our n1's so we can all try it out at least or even better, dual boot! I doubt I will switch though, new market to develop and populate and prolly a smaller pool of dev's for customization as well...
[Nexus One General] x986123:
Lets hope Google gets their act together and makes Gingerbread a worthy competitor for Microsoft. These broken features and (5 year old) designers need to step up their game.

I left Apple for Android because it was more open, but now having used Android for almost a year, I find it's so open that it is unoptimized for super devices and low end. We have a bare looking OS with almost no animations and unused features. WP7 is the midway point, it is closed, but has a greater phone choice than Apple, while Microsoft is know for being slightly more open than Apple.
[Nexus One General] kindiboy:
No way

I would never leave Android for an unproven OS, plus the tiles thing is so unproductive.

[Nexus One General] khaytsus:
Ugh... Anyone who is thinking about switching to Windows Phone 7 never used 6.5.. It's a toy compared to Android in a lot of respects. Other respects it's overly complicated and a deck of cards.

No thanks. The UI is godawful, the XBox stuff just looks stupid, and meh... I can't imagine going back.
[Nexus One General] daijizai:
I used WinMo 5, 6, 6.1, 6.5... They had their purpose. I have also used Symbian, Android, iOS, and several proprietary OSes.

As such, I like to think that I have some good perspective on the history of cellular operating systems.

Out of all of them I prefer Symbian as a phone. Its phone function is fully polished. I never had slow dialer response, and also received OS notifications for a number of events. The thing knew when I was put on hold, and displayed a notification dialog advising such... I knew when to pick a phone back up just by waiting for the phone to say that I was removed from hold!

As a complete mobile platform I prefer Android for the open attitude, and fairly well evolved mobile OS. It may not be the prettiest, but it lets me do the most with the fewest restrictions.

As for WinMo 7, I will try it - probably in an emulator with the developer tools - but cannot imagine that it will win me over unless Microsoft invests some serious dough. If they do, then it might simply for the fact that I do not trust Google at all, and am waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Long and short of it, my Nexus One running vanilla AOSP with my own tweaks that I built in my own kitchen is where I want to be for the foreseeable future.
[Nexus One General] AbsoluteDesignz:
As someone mentioned to me in another thread and I agree with, it is harder to go from Android to anything else than anything else to Android probably...due to the fact that while Android is not 100% end-user open on all devices, it is still the most easily customizable of all the OS's out (barring maemo I suppose).

I LOVE the way WinPho 7 looks, and being that my phone still has a good year of life left may get the HD7 when it comes to T-mobile (though I'd prefer a non-sense WP7 phone as the Sense hubs don't really seem to mesh well visually with the WP7 Metro UI.) but I'd have to play with it for a while before I commit to the device...
[Nexus One General] KidTech:
Why is everyone comparing Windows Mobile 7 to the older version? Its totally different,its built from ground up. IMO it seems promising, i'm really excited to test drive it.

[Nexus One General] musashiken:
Ermm, ok what? Who says Android doesn't have copy and paste??? Have you even tried to use it?
[Nexus One General] danaff37:
I was wondering about that too...I use copy and paste all the time. Especially with the swype control keyboard
[Nexus One General] arkavat:
I will have to agree with many here. Gingerbread will be the deciding factor.

If I may dare to say, Android has become the new Windows mobile. Powerful core, easy to hack, easy to customize. However, it has also carried over undesirable traits. Lack of polish, features that haven't been thought through, no unified user experience, dependent on OEM developed UI.

The application scenario is also same...just open your app drawer and look at how many of those apps are related to some settings or under the hood mods that you have to do to get the experience you want. It painfully reminds me of ugly windows mobile tweaking apps.

If AOSP does not pull itself together, Android will follow that fate of windows mobile.

I have given up on brand loyalty when I moved from Win Mo to Android. And in the future, I do not intend to stick with a platform unless it gives me the experience I want.
[Nexus One General] greenstuffs:
i'll probably be switching, i've never been happy with android, always annoyances and have tried every rom and all of them have little kinks that don't look right..

I'm getting sick of the "android is so customizable" because all you get is a plain OS and you have to hunt for apps for basic operation. :confused:
[Nexus One General] vegetaleb:
There is something I hate in wm7 and which is very basic: no wallpapers!!

The homescreen is full of widgets so no more space for customisation, Gingerbread will make this windows a bad memory
[Nexus One General] elmerendeiro:
Wallpapers are just a waste of space in such small devices, I love the design and space optimization in WP7
[Nexus One General] Talderon:
Unless things have changed from the last "press release", and no, I have not looked recently because there was no reason for me to even CONSIDER WP7, this is why I am not even thinking about it:

* Windows Mobile 7 won’t be supporting backward compatibility (Won’t run Windows Mobile 6.x apps)

* Lacks background processing

* To use Apple like notification service

* No multi-tasking

* No access to system resource

* No Process threading

* Lacks visual voicemail

* Built on top of Zune HD Kernel
