Everyone has better luck then others when it cones to combinations of rom and kernel. Your going to have to test for your self. Me personally I'm running ee with mix up and this is the most stable for me.

By asking a question your are not developing anything now are you contributing to developing anything. Just some fyi.

The kernel effects battery life the most. I'm getting 9hrs with heavy use. My screen us on for at least 6 hours of that 9

There is no egotistical attitude. I'm just tired of reading there same question over and over. Go threw all the threads and see how many times people asked for froyo or said froyo is coming soon. What's the best rom kernel combination ect ect ect...... The answer is always the same. If people learned to read and search before asking a question this forum wouldn't be full of ****. I understand everyone has questions but 95% of the questions can be resolved with a search and some reading.

[Android Apps and Games] andrewdroid:
Still would like to know the answer to this one. The option exists in every computer browser i've ever seen, it's built into windows, I'm sure the mac has it, but never heard of it for smartphones. It's a shame because, it's so much easier on my eyes, and saves battery on our amoled devices. NubiNews has the option for my google reader sites, but i really would like this for the whole internet.

Every app that has that option aka "night theme, or black theme or dark theme" i turn it on asap.
[Android Apps and Games] Paul22000:
Impossible to do with current browsers.

The best bet is to use Firefox Mobile and wait until addons are enabled / the browser is good enough to use for daily use.
[Android Apps and Games] andrewdroid:
Oh ok option doesn't exist yet. Developers if you are listening, lots of people would like this feature.
[Android Apps and Games] zeroafro:
Stock browser on CM6 have this option called 'Invert color' under settings.

Hence white text with black background ~:D

High contrast CSS (cascading style sheet) for Opera and other mobile browsers.

The following CSS is optimized for the Nook Simple Touch, and the provided directions are for the same. If you have a different mobile device, you should be able to figure out what to do based on these instructions.

Directions:

Rename user.css.txt to user.css

plug in your nook

copy the user.css to your nook. I suggest putting it inside of the "My Files/" directory.

in Opera, type opera:config in the URL bar

Go under "User Prefs" to find the "Local CSS File" option, or use the quick search to search for it.

Change the "Local CSS File" to "/media/My Files/user.css" Use the "Back" button to navigate UP to the root in the filesystem hierarchy.

Exit opera (in order to do so, enable the "Exit" button in "Settings->Advanced" from the Opera "O" dropdown menu)

This CSS file is validated with the W3C CSS validation service and validates as

CSS level 2.1.

Problems:

After installing this user.css file, opera:config seems to get screwed up. I

think this is because the CSS file kills background images.

The solution to this is to copy over a blank user.css file. Alternatively, you

can exit Opera, adb shell to the device, and remove

has anyone found a way to get the hd2 to properly show the battery percent of extended batteries? i have a 2400mah battery and i have to remove the battery and put it back in to get it to show the rest of the battery life when it is almost dead. Its quite annoyin.
[HD2 Accessories] Eelkede:
Could you give some more information, eg: What ROM, RADIO version you use. And if you use Android, what Android version and

kernel

.

Also, Use the search function, since there have been a lot of "extended battery not showing right percentage" threads in the HD2 Android Q&A section.

Im using dusk rom with radio 2.10.50.26.

the battery is a cameron sino 2400mah extended battery. Im pretty sure it isnt one of those double batteried made into one. Is there a newer radio update that gives extended battery support that i need?
[HD2 Accessories] Marvlesz:
I dont know, but I have a 2400 mAh battery and it shows the exact percentage .. though I'm using energy ROM . Try to change your rom, maybe its the reason
[HD2 Accessories] schildzilla:
the problem is your battery! get the original extended battery. also the 2300mah battery from the company "leicke" is working for me. i had a cheap 2400mah chinese battery before and had the same problem.

the thing is, that these chinese batterys are faking, they are normal ones because the driver of the hd2 origininally didnt support bigger batterys in the first roms.

the chinese batterys are out of date and also the capacity is mostly a giant fake!

my battery did cost 21 euro incl shipping and is working correctly.

dont try to fix the problem with hints and tricks or calibrations, it will NOT work with the cheap batterys! i already tested it.

your device is ok, throw away your extended battery or keep it as emergency replacement.
[HD2 Accessories] jirka607:
If you have the one from ebay that costed around 13.72 USD

then do this

1.) Charge 100% + 2-4 hours more if possible

2.) Drain battery completely to switch over to second battery

3.) Charge second battery 100% + 2-4 hours more if possible

4.) Drain battery completely

5.) Repeat steps 1-4 once more and your battery should function as expected

Worked For me.

Yes i still have to change battery but i have 2days at first part then remove move in and another 1,5 day is here so its good

I'm new to launcherpro. Any tips or tricks I should know?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] e-yac:
My first recommendation would be to shell out the couple bucks and get LauncherPro Plus. It has a ton of extra features and, in my opinion, the most efficient Facebook widget.

I like the swipe gestures(long press on a dock icon, then choose swipe gesture action...) this comes in handy for reading texts or pulling up your bookmarks quickly.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] smirkis:
launcherpro works great. even the free one is fine unless u like to resize ur widgets or whatever.

customize ur dock, change ur icon arangements

turn off the app drawer icon, and relocate it to ur home button when on home. its just a customizable launcher replacement. do not use 3d drawer.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] JRG1392:
Why no 3D drawer? That's what I'm using and it works great?

[Streak 5 Android Development] xilpaxim:
Possibly a dumb question?

Is there an ISO or something of the 16gb microSD card found in the Streak? Mine is already filled with a bunch of stuff from just messing around, and I figure I would like to do a complete wipe/restart when the official 2.2 comes out, or even just to clean up a little. But if I erase the entire microSD card also, will there be stuff missing?

Is there anything that HAS to be on that card for the Dell Streak to work, or that I would need in the future, such as the Dell Suite?
[Streak 5 Android Development] smokku:
The card may me completely empty.

They just put stuff like manuals and PC Suite there, to not give you these on separate CD-ROM.

You may wipe the card.

PC Suite is downloadable from Dell site.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Radimus:
Correct. The first thing I did with my 16 gb was to wipe it and give it away to a friend. I had purchased a 32gb when I ordered the streak and inserted that.

I copied about 5gb of music to it and went from there.
[Streak 5 Android Development] xilpaxim:
ah, OK thank you. I had a feeling but t wanted to make sure before I wiped it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Neotelos_com:

[EVO 4G Android Development] Neotelos_com:
Let's set our standards and provide easy access for talented developers whom may not even have time for trial and error!

I've got some great changes I'm slowly making on top of Myn's 2.2

I'm a big fan of senseless, yet I like some of the included HTC apps.

I'm primarily looking for some IMG extractors that work in windows alongside some more reliable APK signing tools. I've played around with all this but I just don't have time like I used to.

If we can just get ROM development more organized and discuss higher quality standards (such as properly modded bootimg) in all ROMs, I'd be ecstatic.

It's sad when you have a custom ROM and a factory reset ruins much of it.

So here's what I'd like to see and am willing to contribute to:

- Ubuntu VM for Android ROM Dev

- APK Signing Tools for Windows that actually work

- bootimg extractors & packers for windows

- List of APKs and detail relationships between one another alongside functionality

We can take advantage of the Wiki for much of this such as the lists.

Ok, here's the story...

I rooted my T-Moblie Vibrant with the Update.zip file via this link "xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=723479"

Everything worked fine and I tried to do the VooDoo lag fix and all **** happend via this link

"androidspin.com/2010/09/23/overclock-add-some-voodoo-to-your-samsung-vibrant/"

I also applied the "Dalvik-cache & Data Scripts" and "JAC’s OC Kernel + Voodoo Beta4 Kernel " to my phones SD card. At this time, I flashed "Clockwork Recovery" and enetered it to apply the two .zip files to my phone. I installed both .zip files containing the ""Dalvik-cache & Data Scripts" and "JAC’s OC Kernel + Voodoo Beta4 Kernel " AT THE SAME TIME and I then tried to reboot and apply. At this time "LINDA" the robotic voice operator notified me of all the steps and in the end congratulated me for the successful application of the .zip file.

Once the Vibrant screen came up, it NEVER continued, frozen for an hour, I looked at alternative options and tried ODIN... ODIN3+SPL, s1_odin_20100512.pit, SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_x86 (32bit)[I AM AWARE MY COMPUTER IS 32 BIT], T959UVJFD.tar. These were all the files used to flash the Original Rom back to my Vibrant. I used several others and NOTHING WORKED, I MEAN NOTHING... THE FARTHEST I GOT IS THE GALAXY S SCREEN AND IT GOES (BLACK RIGHT AFTER ALONG WITH THE ABILITY FOR THE FOUR KEYS ON THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN TO BE LIT IF PRESSED) What's weird is that the charging battery screen pops up and it charges, I'm assuming that the software is properly flashed back. I just bought this phone and I'm so frustrated...

CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP ME... I feel like chukn' this phone at the wall, but $500 will be gone:((((((((( TIA...

Basically what you need to do is flash eugene's froyo that doesn't brick from here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=740558

(WITHOUT RE-PARTITION CHECKED).

after the phone reboots it will boot into recovery with an error. don't worry this is normal

Now flash the original tmobile stock firmware (WITH RE-PARTITION CHECKED) from here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=734475

This worked perfect for me BUT PAY CLOSE ATTENTION!!! DO NOT CHECK RE-PARTITION WHEN FLASHING THE FROYO ROM AND DO CHECK RE-PARTITION WHEN YOUR FLASH STOCK

BTW you will lose all data so hopefully you were wise and backed up before trying to flash a kernel. If not you will from now on lol.

As I said before this worked perfect for me so if you follow directions well you'll be back to stock in no time but if something goes wrong don't blame me.

IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH ODIN CHECK OUT THE VIBRANT BIBLE AT THE TOP OF THE FORUM. I BELIEVE THERE IS A GUIDE FOR ODIN THERE.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sewebster87:
While it is completely legitimate to get frustrated when flashing different ROMs and modifying your phone, you gotta realize that this is all experimental. These ROM's are stable for quite a few people, but they aren't completely error and issue free like one of the more seasoned ROM's on an older phone (CM6 comes to mind).

So don't get upset, just realize that if you're running a bunch of scripts and hacks on your phone that you got from a forum, and now you're having problems - other people on this forum have likely already had - and fixed - whatever you're going through.

If you had checked the either of the Bionix threads (I know for a fact it is in the Bionix Final thread) for step-by-step instructions that the devs have already been nice enough to provide. In reality, they go through a lot of extra work to put together documentation for people to use what they create. They do it because they want more people to enjoy what they enjoy, and that says a hell of a lot about the people we have around here.

Keep your chin up, have fun with this stuff. If you can't afford to replace your phone, I would suggest taking a step back until more work/time has been put into these processes. GL HF
[Windows Phone 7 General] Phone Titan:
Thats some good insight for users who are planning or thinking of switching from Android.

The battery life is poor because of the big and power hungry screen and the fact that HTC put a small battery in that device.

Other phones like the Samsung Omina 7 will last much longer.
[Windows Phone 7 General] JEEtoP:
Although Zune pretty much covers my music needs I do love last.fm - Glad to hear it can play in the background.

I knew certain third party devs were/are developing with Microsoft to enable background tasks but nice to have it confirmed for last.fm specifically :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] brummiesteven:
I didn't think the battery life was poor, I think it's quite good compared to my Desire.
[Windows Phone 7 General] brummiesteven:
Just to add something that I just noticed:

Status

There is no kind of status screen, you cant find out what percentage the battery is and all you have to go by is the battery icon. This is frustrating coming from android where you could find out exactly what percentage the battery was at.

How's the display on the HD7? I've heard some mixed reviews.
[Windows Phone 7 General] risq:
Actually, that's incorrect.

The Omnia 7 has a bigger battery capacity, but as most of the backgrounds on apps such as email, webpages etc are white, the AMOLED chews the battery up just as bad if not worse if you use these resources, where as the HD7 chews up battery on blacks, so the opposite of eachother.

In general use, they work out about the same, with omnia 7 slightly better. Use the Omnia for web browsing and lots of email and it's worse than the HD7.

I have both handsets and I've tested this.
[Windows Phone 7 General] brummiesteven:
Those white backgrounds you refer to are the "Light" theme. You can change it to Dark in the settings.
[Windows Phone 7 General] zard:
Thanks for the review. I'm waiting for the HD7 to arrive. I've been waiting for a revamp of messenging and mail and WP7 has delivered them. What I really will miss is 3G video call capability.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
As long as the Battery Icon is accurate, that's fine.

On my Vibrant the Battery Icon estimates ~25% higher than your actual battery level, so it'll show full when you're 75%, and ~30% when you're about to get a warning about your battery level.

As long as it's accurate, I can care less about a status screen.

[Windows Phone 7 General] adesonic:
Took delivery of my HD7 yesterday, coming from the HTC Desire - no problems so far apart from 1 random reboot - but then I had that on the Desire in its first week as well, maybe it's a "feature" that HTC include.

I have used WM6.5 (for years), WebOS, IOS, Android and now WP7. I would say WP7 has the most promise.

Reasons:-

-The whole Zune thing - knocks Itunes into a cocked hat - it looks delightful and works beautifully - Zune Pass is what Spotify should be!

-Simplicity of the UI - Android is extremely customisable but gets cluttered and simply ain't as pretty as WP7 (IMHO).

- Social network integration excellent (bear in mind I do not use twitter)

- Info displayed on lock screen useful

- Ability to use camera when device locked

- Kindle app is coming - big thing for me as I am an avid reader.

- Everything so fast and fluid!

- Did I say it looks beautiful?

Things WP7 needs:-

- A bar code reader app/ google goggles type app

- An Ocado app (UK readers will know what I mean)

- Turn by turn nav

- Cut-n- Paste- HTML 5.0, Flash, silverlight

- Text reflow/ wrapping in the browser - the Android browsers I have used are still the best.

BTW, I fervently hope that the WP MArketplace does NOT get filled up with 300,000 useless fart apps/ tip calculators etc. quality not quantity is what is required!
