Just FYI,

For the Samsung Focus and Omnia 7 or any device using Amoled screen.

Do not use:

- White background, it takes 3 times the power of normal LCD to produce white.

- Red theme, it makes characters look more pixelated and the edges of tiles grainy.

- Blue theme, blue color dies first in Amoled screens.

Do use:

- Black background, it uses the least power and much much less than a LCD.

- Green/lime would be your best bet since the fonts and tiles look much more clear and crisp because of the double pixels/saturation on green color.

Aaaannnddd we've reached the 100 vote milestone. Honestly was expecting us to reach that number alot faster. Anywho, hopefully the WP7 community keeps growing :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] kieboy:
IMHO, I believe the reason behind this is ms doesn't want too much custom settings that would break the look and feel experienceof wp7 as they have mentioned. So ms just included colors that would work well with the white font.

I do hope an update will provide custom color for tiles, background and fonts :-P

BLUE on BLACK for me. Way it came on the Samsung Omnia 7... Like it over the others.

Blues always been one of my favs
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
i jump between the red/green/blue on black. don't really like the rest. like the boldness of the colours.
[Windows Phone 7 General] aztecghurl:
blue on black looks best to me. also, is there a thread to post your screen on? i feel like there should be one, or at least one where you can show what types of stuf you have pinned

Red on white background! It's beautiful on the HTC Mozart but I hope it won't take up too much of my battery!
[Windows Phone 7 General] skycamefalling:
Mozart has a LC-Display, it doesn't matter if your screen is white, black or pink with green butterflies -it always consumes the same amount of power, given that the screen brightness is the same.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sWirL:
Sweet! Thanks for clarifying! ;)

I change my theme according to the color of shirt I'm wearing that day. I **** you not :p

That would be black on black for me everyday :o

EDIT: ...and I hope you NEVER use the pink theme :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] Cruzer1:
Be mindful that blues tend to wear out faster than any other color in amoled displays. Though, that probably sounded over exaggerated. Super amoleds overall have been improved from standard amoleds.

Orange was black was what I switched to from the beginning (after trying others), and have stuck with it until today. I just wish my Optimus 7 showed a more "vibrant" orange...
[Windows Phone 7 General] eyan15:
We def need more colors and background...

Personally I would like to see white on Black and grey added to the background will also be nice
[Windows Phone 7 General] BecomingxInsane:
I'm using lime on black. Lime green is my favorite color and it goes really well with the black. :D I'm glad we can have a little bit of themeing right off the get go.
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
no they won't. apps don't have that capability without native code access. we'll see what happens when more comes of the homebrew talks between MS and ChevonWP7 developers.

Kinda missing the old days

I'm using blue on white.

Taking me awhile to get used to not being able to customise it very much.
[Windows Phone 7 General] scott8281:
Thanks for the reply.. i wondered about that. I was hoping it would be aloud, i guess ill wait on Chevron to come back or maybe Microsoft to add some additional colors. I would also like to have the option to keep the status bar on the home screen without having to tap the screen just to see it. thats really annoying. But other than that i can honestly say that im really happy with the phone and also really impressed at the way they simplified all the menus..

They are right, of course. On the x10 mini screen it was very difficult to see...
[HTC Aria General] Bob in Northern NJ:
OK, I flashed the ROM to the CM6-RC. I lost every single contact on my SIM card, which means I lost ALL of my contacts!!!! What the heck did I do? Is there anything in the clockworkmod process or in the HTC bootscreen process that deletes all of the user data on the SIM card?

I used the Lookout restore feature, (yes, the contacts all backed up successfully during the normal Lookout process), but they don't restore to the SIM! It says they were successfully restored, but where to?

Is there a setting somewhere in there that I missed?

Also, is there a better Contacts App then this one? I really don't like everything defaulting to Google!
[HTC Aria General] jasonyump:
You didnt lose your sik contacts, cm6 for the aria cant read contacts off your sim. If u want to use cm6 your going to have to save your contacts to your google account. Sim toolkit is not yet working in cm6 for the aria which means it cant read data off your sim card.
[HTC Aria General] Bob in Northern NJ:
Thanks for the info! I wished I had known this BEFORE I migrated the phone to CM6!
[HTC Aria General] jasonyump:
no problem. what you should do is nandroid backup your current cm6, install liberated, save your contacts to your google account, and nandroid restore cm6. and your contacts will show up.

btw, for future reference you did post in the wrong section.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zmoboss:
Need some expert advice...I have vbn reloaded 2 as winmo Rom and mdeejay rEVOlution 2.0 as everyday build. Data img 512 mb. I power off, pull battery and load Android immediately using EBL. on first start "free memory" is 256mb. Bunch of apps start, i kill them all using ATK. after 2 days avail mem is only 158 mb. After a week, it does down to 108 mb. At this point I power down, pull battery and start all over again and I am back to 256 mb, then the process repeats all over again.

Is the build leaking mem? Anyone else observe this? Anything I am doing wrong?

Thx

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] markmarkr:
Stop worrying about memory unless you are actually running in to trouble. Android will actively make use of the memory your phone has by leaving apps running and caching things. This is a feature not a bug, there is no need to have memory sitting there empty, it won't improve performance or power use or whatever.

If you're worried by it get Autokiller from the market and set it to keep as much memory free as will make you happy when you see the number. Autokiller just lets you set the limits for the inbuilt memory management system.

Going from Cm6 to 3.29 ota was a big improvement but after applying 3.3 zip update I kinda been wondering if I didn't see a decrease in battery life. I'm about to flash back to 3.29 to make some more observations.

I have noticed this as well. I have an extended battery and is showing maybe 8 hours of battery life. With 3.26 I was able to get a reported over 1 1/2 days on it. I use the phone pretty much for data very few phone calls.

I think I will be doing the same down grading down to 3.29.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] potna:
ok, thanks for the replies.

Here's a case in point. Full charge at 315pm nows its 515 pm and I'm down to 88%. That's roughly 6% drain per hour. Before the update zip that I flashed I was getting .5% per hour, or 1% per 2 hours, It was nice. In fact when I'm done with this post I will be going back to 3.29.

I should add, for purposes of being thorough, is that I updated astride task to sync my Google tasks about once every 3 hrs. I suppose I should look at that first. But I can't see it making my battery drain that much faster.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] potna:
Do you mean you were on 3.29, or did you mean what you said....that you were on 3.26?

I ask because of all the roms I have used 3.29 was the best out of stock eclair, 3.26, Cm6, 3.30.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creyc:
I'm getting MUCH better battery life with 3.30 than I did with 3.29, I no longer have to charge nightly.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] potna:
Ok so I did a wipe and then a nandroid restore to a backup from just before I applied the damn 3.30 update. I am still having battery issues.

It's so strange that I can excellent battery life then suddenly I get crappy life. Makes me suspicious that sprint is doing something that is causing my phone to have to work harder and therefore use more battery.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rydah:
Doubt it, 3.30 hasn't been released (officially) for a reason. I'm assuming because if the drain of battery. Also, some reported a better camera but again in 3.29 I was getting better stability, whereas in 3.30 i was getting stutters when moving the camera like I was in 3.26. I think the problem is the kernel, as it has been proven to be older than 3.29's kernel.

3.29 = Kernel #11

3.30 = Kernel #10

Just a thought, I'm no super dev. I hope we get an official update soon. I want sense 2.0 but I doubt we will see that officially until late December or early January. That along with gingerbread.

[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] Anthony1s:
They should've released a beta or something and then a couple months later start charging for it. This way people will get used to using the board and want to buy it. Like what SwiftKey did. I don't think the curiosity factor, alone, is enough for people to buy it. Especially since you can uninstall it in 24 hours to get a full refund.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] dexmix:
It seems like a joke app to me. Hey lets make some ridiculous new way to enter text. People like swype, so they'll probably like anything weird and different.... but on the off chance no one likes it - lets make a pay only version - so people pay for it before they realize it actually sucks.

maybe that's just me being cynical - but swype is genuinely novel. I fail to see how this is better then the stock keyboard.

[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] Anthony1s:
Obviously, but keep that to yourself. No one needs the trouble here from spreading that around.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] CallMeAria:
So I tried 8pen. I'm actually typing this using it. I don't see it ever being as fast as swype but I can definitely see its usefullness with one hand typing and not being able to look at the screen. But the amount of time you'd have to spend memorizing all the patterns to the point you don't have to look at what you're doing would be insane.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] anika200:
I like it. All you have to do is memorize where the letters are, same as a normal keyboard. It seems plenty fast to me. There are a few glitches in the auto complete and some other things but overall it is a good alternative to a tiny keyboard if that is what you need or are looking for.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] z3ddicus:
Any idea why I can't find this in the market? When I search there are no results. I can't find Swype in the market either.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] savedR:
I never can find Swype in the market either but 8pen comes up fine, maybe wait a day and look again.

I do kind of like the visible pop up it has now, but its still nowhere near as fast as my stock Sense keyboard. Then again, I can almost totally type one-handed and blind, so there you go. Now that its free, I say go get it and play with it,can't hurt.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] dexmix:
swype is not generally available, so it's not in the market for any phone.

its still in beta (seems perpetually), and only comes pre-installed on some phones.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] fritzcharleston:
I'm using 8pen now and I really like it. I have these massive dumb hands and I could never get the hang of typing with those tiny keys. It works a dream for me. Even if it is a "novelty."

[General Questions and Answers] Chuck_t1990:
I just bought a Motorola Cliq XT and it has a few hardware problems I was wondering if anyone could help me with or point me in the right direction for.

First off the power button does not work at all. I know that most of those buttons just ground the circuit for it to work so I am not seeing why this part is not working. With the meter it works correctly (the button that is) and I know there is some sort of transistor? or something in between the contact and the ground. I could not find a problem through the meter but I really just need it to work for a few seconds for reasons below.

The camera button is completely gone in it, and it is a 2stage button. I need it for reason below.

Still has previous owners data, to do a master reset I (obviously) have to press and hold the power and camera button. Is there another program I can use to do this or do I have to figure out a way to short those 2 contacts. Any information at all would help. Even a place in Dallas/Fort Worth area that can fix it would be nice. Thanks in advance.

This theme is based for of MIUI 1.29. (i dont know how it will react flashing to any other version, dont ask)

For best results flash immediately after a clean installation so MIUI can generate 3rd party apps with the new background. Both wallpapers included in the stock wallpapers.

always NANDROID first. I take no responsibility

A little trick I learned so you dont have to wipe and download all your apps again.
