[Fascinate General] ivorycruncher:
I don't think I've ever seen ANY Android phone come with any software out of the box. Any drivers you need can be downloaded, and there is no official Android sync software, though you can download one of many third party syncing applications that are available. What exactly are you comparing the Fascinate to in this regard?
[Fascinate General] pmjr0987:
im coming from a blackberry. i hated that thing, but the software was great. I could backup everything, mess with new hybrid os's and if i didnt like it, click on the last restore point and it would be right there. ive never had an android before, so this is new to me, and i will be having this phone for two years now, so i figure its time to start learning
[Fascinate General] Daswolven:
Well you're in the right place. Your question smelled of blackberry. :) first question then, are you going to, or have you already rooted your device?

Instructions on how to flash the fonts:

1) Pick a font you like, download it.

2) Go into clockwork recovery

3) Nandroid (optional but always a good idea)

4) Install the fonts zip file

5) Reboot and enjoy!

[General Questions and Answers] ImAMember:
Okay, first, thanks for existing, it rocks on many levels and what nots.

Second, as the title says, just a few quick questions \ issues...

When I go into USB debugging mode, IE plugging the EVO into usb, the debugging screen only comes on for a few seconds and whether or not I choose an option nothing happens.

Next, is there an easier way to get to the live wallpapers then having to go through settings… As in, is there an app that can get you to it quicker instead of having to go through all the steps.

Also, are you able to back up the texts to the SD card from the stock text program? If no, is there one that does?

And finally, Is there a ROM out there where you can change the home page of the seven screens?

So, any help is appreciated, and thank you in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] INebilim:
1. usually it just sits there in the notification area. therefore you shouldnt see anything happening unless youre doing something on your pc.

2. yes you can back up your texts. there are two ways, you can use an offline app like SMS backup and restore (off the market) that can do it for but it's manual, the other way is to back your SMS online automatically via Lookout (virus protection app, works quite well) or simply download SMS backup+ which autobacks up your SMS onto your gmail account. both SMS backup+ and lookout can back up at specific intervals you set up but only SMS backup+ does it after each SMS if you so choose to. I havent seen any negative issues with the battery and ive been using it since June 4th ;)

3. there are roms, Ive been getting some positive results and feedback with Myn's warm twopointtwo ROM (it should be on the first page of the dev page for the EVO). but if you want 7 screens...i am assuming you dont like Sense (as that has 7 screens) you can try a home launcher replacement such as LauncherPro. I would recommand staying clean or ADW.launcher, it's dog-slow!

hope that helped!:D
[General Questions and Answers] ImAMember:
Great stuff...

Appreciate the help... My issue with the USB at the moment isn't an issue but hopefully it won't bug me again.

And any idea on how to access live wallpapers in a quicker fashion then the curent method?

Anyway,thanks again!

[HD2 General] danielefeldt:
Running the 10.20.10 edition of HyperDroid and getting best battery life on Android yet. I'm averaging 1 hour and 21 minutes per percentage point of battery which comes out to 5 days and 15 hours of battery.

Thought this was the best build and highly reccomend it for people who are complaining about battery life.

Got to this point by setting the DPI to 140 which makes everything clearer, setting screen brightness to thirty percent constantly, no window animations, ADW Launcher, black static wallpaper, no widgets, GPS set to off, Facebook and Gmail set to auto sync every 1 hour, data always on, bluetooth and wifi off, no SetCpu, no task cleaners and deleted every unused .APK in the System folder.

I make about ten minutes of calls per day, around 100 texts, Facebook and Gmail for about ten minutes daily, and about 5 minutes internet usage.

If you are a minimalistic person such as me then I think this set up would work wonders for you, check it out...

Coooool, battery life has been the one sticking point with me for Android, and (although I'm different with Windows Mobile) I'm not yet prepared to start learning and tweaking a new OS just to try it out. It's great that this sounds like we're nearly there.

Thanks!

P.S. Cookie's HomeTab 2 has also got me majorly addicted to WM again - I'm much preferring this UI to Android, and if the widgets system lives up to the rest of the work, I really may stay WM!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] blazs2:
I bought a droid and have had it working for a couple months. I decided to flash cyanogen mod 6 cause i like the features. I used a recovery only .sbf with RSDlite 4.7 , loaded sbf recovery and flashed the rom. Everything worked fine for the whole day. I was out that night and the phone died. When i returned home i plugged my phone in and nothing happened. The only sign of life i get is the white led next to the usb plug The battery is fully charged (i checked with another droid) and i tried booting with x+power, dpad up+power and even t+power. I cant get the phone to power into bootloader to use with rsdlite and i cant get it to connect to rsdlite by pressing dpad up+power and connecting it to my pc. I get no response from the phone at all beside the charging light on the side.

Is there a way to save my droid :(

P.S.- Im currently leaving the battery out all night hoping that something good happens when i put it back in.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Xeronix:
Well that certainly doesn't sound good!

You need to let the phone charge.

Put the battery back in, and plug the phone into the OEM (Original) charger that came with your Droid.

Let it sit there.

Before you took the battery out the final time, have you taken it out before?

Basically just changed everything to English (thanks to tazz for letting me use his files), and added speed tweaks (png optimize = speed & reduced rom size, zip align = less ram used when ran, and a kernel tweak at /system/etc/sysctl.conf that really improves speed,details can be found at the link in the original post.) rom is a little slow at first (syncing and stuff) but once by the second boot and an over clock it was flying. Also attached pictures focusing on the froyo changes to the post, and updated the post.

If you download ryanza oclf from the market. His imsrtuctions are pretty simple. I wrote them down after reading them in case I needed help. Lol
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
I tend to find this lagfix not nearly as effective as Voodoo or another fix that actually reformats the system space. My understanding is that RyanZA's lagfix creates a virtual drive on top of RFS, so it looks blazing fast on Quadrant, but in real use you still see lag. Also, it halves the available app space, which I dislike.

[Vibrant General] theratdude64:
I just rooted an installed Bionix Fusion 1.1 on my friends Vibrant last night, and while trying to apply Voodoo it seemed to be doing it, but doesn't appear to be installed.

When doing the update.zip method, it showed a screen saying something about "Voodoo Lag Fix..... Some weird characters on screen are normal......" then it flashes big blue lettering REBOOT and it restarts. Is that sucessful? How can I check if Voodoo actually applied? I see no difference and the quadrant score actually lowered a tiny bit. Do you HAVE to have setCPU for voodoo to do anything?

[Vibrant General] cthach11:
To check if you have voodoo installed:

Download Terminal emulator from the market.

Open it and type "mount"

Look for /dev/block/

If it ends in a 4 then you have voodoo. If it ends in 2, you do not.
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
+1.

Although I'm lazy and hate typing stuff, so I just run Quadrant. If the score is ~1900, Voodoo is on; if it's ~950, it's off.

In the Dev forum, go to KingKlick's or JAC's kernel threads. I think they both have Voodoo versions of their kernels. I'm using JAC's w/ colorfix and Voodoo. You can just flash it over your current installation.
[Vibrant General] GreggoryD502:
Is there that much of a difference between voodoo and ryans lag fix??
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
In terms of actual use, I think Voodoo is way better. I still saw some lag with Ryan's, but Voodoo is super smooth. Ryan's is a bit of fakery that hugely boosts Quadrant scores but does not do that much for you in real use.
[Vibrant General] GreggoryD502:
Doesnt the voodoo require a certain size nand chip to work properly?

I think ill stick with ryans for now. My phone is really smooth now. Voodoo may be superior but its bit more complicated to work around. Im not comfortable enough yet to try it.

they run just fine on the captivate....

launcher pro cannot be launched by the app drawer. hit the home button and see if you get the option to use launcher pro...you should. if you want it to be the default launcher, then make sure you tick the box next to 'make it default'

handcent does however show up in app drawer, or its supposed to...shows up for me
[Captivate General] neo_31591:
well they should run properly,

for launcher pro if u press the home button you will get the option of choosing either launcher pro or touchwiz....u can make the launcher pro default from there

else download 'home switcher' its a free app and you can access it to make any of your launchers default or just run it...very easy to use.....

as for handcent, it does work in the captivate...check if its installed properly....

go to applications, manage applications and check if its there..u can run it also

else, go to the android market, go to downloads and see if handcent's been installed..it can run from thereaswell..
