After dealing with tmobile for over a week, they finally sent me the link to download kies mini and update my Vibrant through that program.

After installing im having an issue, the splash screen that says connect phone shows up, then instantly goes white, but still allows me to click on different spots, im still able to exit.

I know the program is not frozen, I just cant figure out what the issue is. I tried using USB debugging, Ive tried clicking on kies on the cell phone, no help. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, im annoyed that i still dont have this update by now. Thanks.

I'm pretty sure that it has been brought up before, but I still cannot find the answer. Is anyone working on smooth transition when rotating the screen or is this something that Google has to provide in the android build? I noticed it on iphone and did not think much about it, but I just noticed that WM7 has it as well.

Hi There

I hope you can help/tell me what the problem is and i hope i am at the right place...

I made an update to Froyo on my german unbranded i9000. I made lagfix.

now i deinstalled ADW Launcher, because i thought it drains my battery... but now i recognized, that the twlauncher starts really often and causes 100% processor.

Does anybody have such a problem?! I dont want to reflash it... :|
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yiannisthegreek:
I recommend performing a factory reset on the device and this should hopefully help the situation.

If anyone else can assist please do so...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chablo12:
I think what you can is as you are having a rooted phone, install launcher pro from market, pay if you like extra features via paypal.

You will not be able to see it in apps.

When you click home button you will be asked about default launcher pro or tw launcher.

Use launcher pro and go to settings>application>manage applications and see Twlauncher running, stop if problems.

I want to start out that I know there is a "guide" on the different ROMS.

But I want real reasons/thoughts on the different Android Roms available for our HD2s, and not have to go through 5 million posts.

What do you use daily and why, and your thoughts on the ROM?

Thanks.

Good luck. Everytime someone asks this question they get the same answer. Haha.
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
Indeed...and here it is...there is no "best" Android build, only what is best for you. Each one is different, and no person's opinion should make you go for one build over another, as each persons situation is different. THE advice to you, is to download a few, read like there is no tomorrow, and try a bunch until you find the one that works best for your needs.
[HD2 General] papabear:
I am aware there is no "best" ROM. I ws just asking what people's opinions/thoughts on the ROM(s) they use daily. I have nothing against trying different ROMS and have read about some at this point I would like something with decent fuunctionlity, esy on the battery and properly working wifi.

I am currently running Sergo's core droid v0.6, my only issues with it so far is wifi does not work, after a couple inutes the touchscreen is non responsive and I have to put it to sleep and back on to get it to work again.

So as stated I want to know how people like their current ROMS, not which one is best.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGreatGatsby00:
I recently rooted my Incredible and put the most recent stable version of Cyanogen mod on it. I've been trying to get my wireless tethering to work on my desktop PC but haven't been able too. I'm not sure what settings I am messing up and on which end.

I am currently running an intel PC with Windows 7 64-bit. I went into my device manager and enabled ad-hoc connections on my wireless adapter but still no luck.

Any ideas?

Android Version: 2.2

Kernel Version: 2.6.32-ga81a44f

Mod Version CyanogenMod-6.0.2
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobtheelf:
I use the wifi tether from here: code[dot]google[dot]com/p/android-wifi-tether/

It says it's for 2.1 but it works fine in 2.2. FWIW, I'm running stock 2.2 rooted with unrevoked3.

It also creates an infrastructure network rather than an ad-hoc network, so you can connect with more devices, such as other android phones.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] truegrass:
Hey guys, just wondering what the most stable (fewest bugs) ROM available right now is. I am also wanting to extentd my battery life. I have a rooted stock 2.2 SLCD Dinc. I know that some things work differently on the SLCD versions than on the AMOLED versions.

I have recently come from an eris and had a great support group on the eris xda section. Since the eris has been around a lot longer than the Dinc it was easy to tell what ROM's were widley used due the activity on that thread. It is not as easy in the Dinc threads because they are so even in numbers.

Thanks for any advice!

man, same here....i think at 11pm no one is going to call me and i can finally flash the rom i've been waiting all day to flash, but boom! gf calls and im like damn. lol. then i spend another hour trying to make it look like how it was before i flashed, ex: download the apps (i still have learned how to use titanium backup to restore the apps), put icons in their places, login all the apps, setup emails, etc....and by the end of the week, new version of a different rom is out and i wanna flash that now.

But back on topic, the ones i tried and liked so far have been

Sense: Uncommon Sense, Myn's Warm, and anything with hey its lou

AOSP: Cyanogen is great on battery, Ruby is nice and smooth, and I've liked the stuff from IncDoes.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptir:
To be honest, I don't think that the ROM affects your battery life that greatly. The kernel and what applications your running has a much greater effect. For example, I found that I got the best battery life with either an AOSP ROM, or a Sense ROM with Rosie removed (keeping all the other parts of Sense intact, just replacing Rosie with ADW.Launcher or LauncherPro). Also, LiveWallpapers destroyed my battery.

That said, stability is definitely affected by your ROM. SkyRaider seemed okay, but I had my phone wipe itself one morning, which someone else confirmed as being an issue. My personal best experience has been with Redemptive rEVOlution. Great theme, not much bloat, and nearly bugfree.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenmills78:
Redemptive rEVOlution has been great for me on battery life and overall performance. I also really enjoyed Uncommon Sense but redemptive has been better on battery. I am a heavy user (bluetooth, lots of calls, surf the web and use corporate IM)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shane112358:
I'm looking for an app icon widget for Sense that has the following properties....I have tried what feels like dozens but there are so many I simply can't try them all.

Ability to hide specific apps that I don't want displayed (so, a blacklist not a whitelist)

No text labels

Ability to be clear or at least mostly clear (see the wallpaper behind it)

Scrollable!

Preferred 5 column grid but not absolutely necessary

The closest I've found is the Folder organizer widget, but it doesn't seem to refresh the apps list ever so anytime I add a new app I have to recreate the widget again. Also, the scrollable function only works in third party launchers (not Sense). I have tried Launcher Pro and ADW but not a huge fan.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] groovdafied:
You have to remember that sense is closed source, so it can only do so much. Most widgets that I've found have extra functions for 3rd party launchers such as the ones you've listed.

If you want to hid or get rid of apps, the only way to do that is to hack-uninstall the apps (from what I've been reading around here). Not sure about being "clear", could you be more clear with that? :P I'm guessing you want transparent widgets?

You can use Desktop Visualizer to help you with your hidden text labels. I use that in combination with folder organizer and launcher pro. Launcher Pro is pretty well designed IMO. It does what sense does, plus more and there's a lot of widgets that seem to support it. You should take a look at the Launcher Pro screenshots created here, there's a lot of excellent customization that I believe will meet your demand. It's possible that you haven't found the look you want that will be efficient for you.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shane112358:
Thanks for your thoughts. Does LauncherPro have scrollable email and agenda widgets like Sense? (I know it has messenger although I don't love the implementation...)
[myTouch 4G General] c_licious:
Since there is so much moaning and groaning about the mysense UI here are a few (noobproof) suggestions on how to get the most "vanilla" experience out of your mytouch. Feel free to add to the list.

Faster performance/vanilla appearance

Set LauncherPro (Plus) as your default launcher.

Search key replacement:

Since the search button is replaced by the genius button I would suggest the following: in launcherplus (home screen) long press the dock key that normally opens the application drawer. Select: swipe gesture action -> launch shortcut -> activities -> google search -> com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox.SearchActivity

Now you can bring up the search widget on your home screen by simply swiping your finger over the app drawer key (swipe up)

removing bloatware:

there are several methods but I find this to be the easiest.

Install visionary from market and temp-root the device

install titanium backup (EDIT: you might need to buy the Pro version)

open titanium backup, press "problems?" and install busybox (needed after every reboot)

reopen titanium backup and go to backup/restore

click on an unwanted application and select "freeze". This will not fully remove the application but will permanently disable it so it will not show up in the launcher or run in the background. you can freeze/unfreeze applications as you want. Freezing is NOT undone by rebooting the phone and has to be undone in titanium backup.

If you are seriously worried about the space these applications take up you can also long press an application in titanium backup and select "force remove app (by recovery exploit)" which will permanently remove the app. (might cause problems with OTA updates)

Disabling T-mobile crap

settings -> accounts & sync -> disable T-mobile sync

make sure to save new contacts as google contacts (t-mobile automatically set to default)

Still not satisfied?

settings -> SD & phone storage -> factory data reset -> put back in box -> exchange for G2 ;)

Hope this helps
[myTouch 4G General] PolishDude:
cool didnt know about the freeze thing, ill do that as i heard if you delete the apps you wont get OTA updates :(
[myTouch 4G General] c_licious:
Oh and I'd turn off the t-mobile account sync. Let me know if anyone figures out how to make google contacts standard when creating new contacts
[myTouch 4G General] superhtchd2:
is there much space to be saved by force removing a app or will freezing any certain apps make the phone run any faster? i installed launcher pro /better keyboard/ handcent probably 5mins after opening up the MT4G.. i did the visionary root like 2 days ago, along with setcpu .. and the phone is running pretty good hitting high 1900's and low 20xx quadrant benchmark scores..but if i can make it run faster by removing some apps not used i will.
[myTouch 4G General] Elfabaa:
I found that I could use a terminal emulator to disable the bloatware at the package level. Does this do the same as "freezing"?
[myTouch 4G General] c_licious:
Yep, it's the same thing just that Titanium backup runs the script for you and keeps track of what you froze so you can see what's frozen and whats not. It's the same thing just more user friendly.
[myTouch 4G General] floepie:
Exactly the same.

Ooops. Beat me to it.
[myTouch 4G General] Elfabaa:
Thanks, I might have to re-enable them and then go do it through titanium backup.
[myTouch 4G General] c_licious:
I don't think there is much to be gained by force removing apps (over just freezing). Yes, you free up some internal memory but it's unlikely you'll ever need it. Even with all the preinstalled crap and all of my applications (quite a few and none installed to sd yet) I still have over 800mb of free space. There is no way I'm ever gonna use it all. On the flip side you might even run into some OTA problems when removing some apps like some G2 owners did with Google Goggles.

I would just go ahead and freeze all the preinstalled apps you don't need. That'll stop them from running in the background and potentially wasting memory and battery power. Chances are you won't notice a big performance increase since the MTG4 can handle a lot of background processes but at least the junk won't clutter up your app drawer any longer :D
[myTouch 4G General] c_licious:
I'd be interested to know if you have to reenable them first for titanium backup to recognize the packages. Lemme know
[myTouch 4G General] floepie:
I don't know, but I'm quite sure that freezing is 'premium' feature of this most well-deserved piece of software.
[myTouch 4G General] c_licious:
It appears you're right sir

EDIT: Actually you don't need the pro version. I just tried it with the free version and it still gives me the option to freeze apps.
[myTouch 4G General] ESKIMOn00b:
The button is there but when you push it it ask you to buy pro
[myTouch 4G General] c_licious:
Weird - I uninstalled both, the pro key and the free version and only reinstalled the free version. It let me freeze/defrost apps just fine just using the free version. Maybe because I already had some apps frozen (which it recognized as such) when I reinstalled the free version?!?
[myTouch 4G General] bbman911:
I disabled some apps in Terminal Emulator and when I look in TB, they show as frozen.
[myTouch 4G General] s10shane:
well if u want more of the same look as the g2 which is stock android just use launcher pro then go to preferences>appearance settings>dock background>froyo. and ur good to go. then if u want u can have the 3d menu by going to preferences>advanced settings>use 3d drawer and thats it. now ur phone looks the same as the g2. hope this helps!
