exactly no video output or hdmi out. do you think someone is gonna buy a new tv just so they can hook their g2 up to it. and i dont need a tv lol my 17 inch core i7 laptop fills that role. bet you cant run an nes emulator on your tv, oh wait i can because my phone supports "full" video out. your just opening a video file thats on your memory card to your tv.
[Vibrant General] mikeyinid:
What is this guy with a G2 doing in a Vibrant thread...running his mouth...I went to buy a G2 last week and changed my mind when the pos hung up and froze downloading speedtest.net!! The Vibrant may not have a keyboard, but ive NEVER had my phone freeze up or do any kind of fc'ing on me...Have you owned a Vibrant? If not all the posts are opinion, which you are entitled too...anywhere but here :cool:
[Vibrant General] blasian shadows:
lol he regrets getting a g2 so he tries to make himself feel better by posting nonsense.
[Vibrant General] binarysamurai:
It's sad when a ill-informed retard ruins a good discussion topic.

Besides the RFS file system significantly reducing the capability of the Vibrant poor dalvik JIT utilization also reduces the full capabilities of the Vibrant.

Pierrekid, This is a forum for questions about the Vibrant, not a "my G2 is better" forum.

Your attempt to get a medical degree earns you no credibility here.

I happen to have a phd in information systems. So I'm going to make a "clinical judgement" about your device and comments in terms your medical degree can understand, and recommend that we "pull the plug" on you pierrekid. Your comments are like Terry Schiavo, brain dead and retarded. So before you try to respond with something clever about successes you have yet to achieve, I would like to leave you with a little thought... I hold patents in real-time advertising management algorithms for sports broadcasting that have made me incredibly successful. So lets count how many billionaire doctors there are versus how many billionaire technology experts. Your crappy vocation will eventually be replaced by computers anyway.

There's an interesting article here that you should read here...http://xdaforums.com/announcement.php?a=81 . Section 2, in particular, is very relevant to this thread.

You probably want to give the contents careful consideration if you want to continue to post on XDA.

[Vibrant General] Anderdroid:
Just want to give my 0.02.... G2 sux.

Feels clunky and insecure. Sure the Vibrant may feel slightly like 'plastic' but the Vibrant feels SO much better to hold than the G2. I got a G2 for a week and sent it back. At first I was intrigued, however navigation lagged hardcore and lack of root... LOL.

But yeah. After using the G2. Picked up the Vibrant. Gasped. G2 was in it's box. Sim card was in my Vibrant. And now my AOSPish ROMs do me vanilla android justice. And speedy as hell.

Oh BTW. Vibrant with overclock kernel was capable of 80FPS on Quake 3 Arena. On ECLAIR. 56 stable with the stock kernels that lock it to 56. G2 couldn't top 40.
[Vibrant General] RobBull69:
+1 I love the fact that the mods have been cracking down on trolling/flaming, but am also sad that they have to do so. Everyone has a bias because they all have different tastes in phones. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a market for all these different smartphones available today. I, personally, don't like a physical keyboard. Coming from the G1, which was a brick, and using my brother's Epic, I don't like a phone that has me constantly pulling my pants up because it weighs them down:) Let's face it - all phones have bugs because we're using a relatively new technology. The point of XDA and similar forums is to squash bugs and unlock the full potential of our shiny toys.
[Vibrant General] kolyan:
but back to the topic, Vibrant lags because of RFS file system. But OC kernel or ext4 lag fix pretty much fix the issue.

I am not so concerned about UI and most apps because they dont really lag in Froyo, but SOME apps do lag in Vibrant. I personally noticed that 3rd party browsers lag alot. Voodoo and TW teams are working on new voodoo v5 lagfix.
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
to answer the original question - as you might heard the Samsung choice of filesystem had vastly hindered the device they considered as their flagship Android offering.

Thanks to devs here we can be rest assured the EXT2/3/4 lag fixes and z4mod development underway the device will become what it should've been from the get go.

As far as the CPU's in the rivals concerned - they are comparable in performance, one has a slight edge processing JITsince that's natural to it (Qualcomm's Snapdragon/Scorpion in G2), another has better imaginary processing unit (Samsung's Hummingbird in the Galaxy S line-up).

If you can tell the noticeable difference between the raw CPU processing b/w the two - more power to you, and that's what important to you go with it.
[Vibrant General] darkside79:
Ok for the last freaking time. This is not a G2 vs Vibrant Topic. So please move on. And how did camera pictures ever get brought up in this topic? Both have nothing to do with this Topic. Im glad that you like the G2 but this is a Vibrant Forum so dont care about how cool or not the G2 is! I could care less. So please for the love of God move on already.thanks
[Vibrant General] darkside79:
maybe samsung will release a update that will fix the Lag and make it faster! :rolleyes:

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] RumpleStealthSkin:
Once in a while, I get into this modifying mode and this weekend I had time to work on my boot animation. So took some time and searched the forum and did some experimentation and I finally got what I want... :D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCwIvo-zWtc
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Brent87:
Nice work man, *looks for download link* how do you create custom boot animations what program are you using
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] RumpleStealthSkin:
I used an old program called Animation Shop to create the animation. You can still look it up.. it used to come with PaintShop Pro but I think you can download it for free now.

Once the animation is done, you can save each frame as png file. You can then use this to replace the png files in bootanimation.zip from you phone.

Just make sure it's the right size. The animation size is 480 x 854.

I've attached the bootanimation.zip file below so you can edit or replace the png's.

Just make sure not to compress the files when you zip them.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Brent87:
Thanks for the info and the files, time to make some boot animations!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] MorphiusKC:
nice work...can you tell us what software you using for BOOT animations?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Schilack:
Question

So I have a rooted 2.1 X10 ... I created the animation fine, and loaded it into an uncompressed zip file... However how do you go about chmod'ing the system/media folder so that you can copy the file from the SDcard to the boot animation zip on the phone itself? I adb shell'd in and typed su... however I get an error message about cross linked files when trying to copy from SDcard to the phone? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

(I also tried using Astro file manager to do the copying as well)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] PoTi_96:
Did you try:

(Adb shell) dd if=/sdcard/(where the .zip is located)/bootanimation1.zip of=/system/media/bootanimation.zip
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] RumpleStealthSkin:
I used rootexplorer to rename the original bootanimation and move the one I made into the system/media directory. For permission, just click on "mount r/w" in rootexplorer. This should allow you to do the above in your phone.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Schilack:

PoTi: This is what I get for a message:

bootanimation1.zip

$ dd if=/sdcard/bootanimation1.zip of=/system/media/bootanimation.zip

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] RumpleStealthSkin:
Actually, I got the apk file somewhere in this forum. Somebody was kind enough to share it so I'll share the one I have.

Just save it anywhere in your SD or in your phone and launch it..

Super One Click works to root 2.1... just toggle usb debugging on and off a few times till it works.

For those trying to root on 1.6 I dont know why you waste your time -- the old command line generic method works first try every time hell if you install a file manager the one click root apks even work.

For 2.1 you will have to use the superoneclick rooter or another method using the rage in the cage hack as they patched the whole the old rooting method used.

The link to flash to 2.1 was given above. Do that first or you'll loose your root when you flash anyways.

I'm posting a developmental rom for the purpose of anyone and everyone that want's to cook an AOSP rom but is having troubles or doesn't want to go through the hassle of compiling from source. This Rom is completely compiled from AOSP source with the help of the CM team for the HTC Device tree and kernel.

Once again this rom is a Dev-Rom and is completely compiled from AOSP source, this has no sense at all and will never have sense. I will not be maintaining the rom per se, I will however be helping with some of the fixes.

Evo Android 2.2.1 AOSP ROM

Google Apps

Yes. This is completely stock with no modifications

[EVO 4G Android Development] NineONine:
Same Thing Here
[EVO 4G Android Development] laydros:
Surprised we haven't seen this before.

I thought about trying to strip CM down to AOSP basics, since I've been too lazy to get something running from scratch.

I'm looking forward to messing around with it. At work right now and can't grab it yet, have most/all of the CM Evo specific fixes been added, like notification LED support (I assume the AOSP tree is made for the N1) and camera support?

Kinda separate question, but what is the difference (if any) in the official Nexus One builds that get pushed out to the phones OTA and doing a build from AOSP and flashing the Google Apps?
[EVO 4G Android Development] dkotoric:
does hdmi and or 4g work with this
[EVO 4G Android Development] drdrewdown:
i realize its hard to look 3 posts ahead.. but seriously i think it has 9G but no HDMI
[EVO 4G Android Development] dkelle4:
I can offer no developmental help, but I am interested to see how this progresses. I think it may help people who take CM6 for granted.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
OK. The purpose of this ROM is to provide a clean basic AOSP Rom without any modifications. There are no CM modifications in this ROM. We will continue to develop this ROM and fix this issues that comes up but we were hoping that we can get other people working on fixes and mods to start getting the AOSP support going for the Evo like there is for other phones.

Things that currently doesn't work:

Setup wizard

Camcorder

Market not showing all the apps

I think there might an issue with the LEDs

4G and HDMI

Preludedrew did fix a some of the issues this ROM has. We post them soon.

Is this source up anywhere?

If no one wants to host it, I'm willing to put it up on my github.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
If you want to learn/compile your own Rom, check the 2nd post. I typed it out at 3am so if there is a typo please let me know. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] laydros:
Huh? I don't really understand what it would need to be 64bit for....

I assume this means that we need to be running a 64bit distro, not just a 64bit CPU.

I have Ubuntu 10.04 32bit on my box, but I'm downloading 10.10 64bit right now. I'm guessing you guys are mostly on 10.10 (or newer versions of other distros). Is that correct or should I get the 64bit version of 10.04?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ioos:
Yeah, Android complains when you try to compile it on a 32-bit machine. I think there are some work arounds on google, but installing 64-bit in Virtual Box is probably easier if that's an option.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
I corrected the last step in the second post. There was a typo. I had 'make ota' and its supposed to be 'make otapackage'.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vinconti:
oh man... so, your full-on involvement with this rom, does that mean we shouldn't hold our breath on the few minor fixes for your otherwise *spectacular* Evo-NonSense?

not complaining, anything that works towards 4G and the battery life of the stock rom, with full aosp, is noble in my book.

[EVO 4G Android Development] semperlux:
I flashed AOSP Evo 2.2.1 ROM and used my existing kernel from CM kernel from cm_supersonic_full-167, then flashed google apps from the CM website and everything worked great, simple and had a quadrant score of 1420.

I flashed Stock HTC 2.2 kernel because I was curious about a stock kernel. Everything came up fine except that I couldn't get past the lock screen. There seemed to be some graphic issues. Everything else was booting and syncing and I was getting texts and emails. I had to pull the battery and restore. Maybe the order that I did things was wrong, I don't know.

I reflashed AOSP Evo 2.2.1 again with the 2.6.34.5-cyanogenmod kernel and installed google apps and everything is working smoothly. I wanted to use everything stock including the kernel--I still don't understand kernel coding too well (but I will :D ). Again, this is cool toy--thanks!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Frizzanko:
i would love to see a rom exactly like this with everything functional, maybe even if 4g/hdmi didn't work, if we could have everything else working stable, that would be my rom of choice, is there a full on rom that does all of this already without any of the bs mods?

for example, the blinking LED on notifications, and the amber one on charge.

maybe mms?

and also, superuser isn't working for me :(

if maybe i could get help getting su and finding a kernel that the leds worked in, that would make me a happy camper.

and why hasn't anyone made a rom with just plain jane froyo with all the fixes (without the obvious 4g and hdmi) working without any modifications

is there something that just too hard or something?

First, the wifi doesn't work. When I try to turn it on adb shows "E/WifiService( 918): Failed to load Wi-Fi driver." How do I load the driver? Or at what step in the build process?

Also, how do I integrate the google apps? Ideally I'd just use gmail, contact sync and the market app.
