Just for future reference (to keep people from jumping on you about it), you should post questions like this in the "Q&A" forum. ;)

I have been partial to the "Cognition" ROMs as they seem to the the safest, easiest, and have the least bugs to them. DG has done an awesome job with them.

My wp7 are connected to exchange and all contact are synced without any problems I can find contact via people and call to but if I receiving call event from callers with already in my address book i get "unknown contact" msg, why so? I can’t found any setting with can bring caller info name from people. Please help.

[7 Mozart General] Kysa:
No one use exchange and have this problem?
[7 Mozart General] mariu$:
no exchange and sometimes it recognizes the number sometimes not
[7 Mozart General] rolis1980:
it's because of the country (f.e +44 or 0044) phone codes before the phone number. I have the same problem!

The incomming calls are without the codes. If you have stored the contact with the country code, the phone won't recognize it. Strange thing for a phone made in 2010. Next thing is that the incomming SMS have the country codes! I solved it the following way:

1) I sync my Mozart with hotmail;

2) I installed outlook connector and added the hotmail account to my outlook.

3) Exported the contacts to excell file

4) Copied all phone numbers to another phone number column (fe.Home_Phone) and removed all country codes from the phone numbers in that column. As result I have two phone numbers for each contact - one with country code (to recognize incomming SMS) and one without country code (to recognize incoming calls);

5) Imported the excell file back to the hotmail contacts in outlook by "replacing items with imported", pressed "rend/receive" to sync with hotmail - done.

I hope you got my idea and sorry for my broken english!

Download Coligma live wallpaper. Set it as your wallpaper. Increase the particle count. Then tap the screen to generate lits of flashy particles.see how is slows to a few frames per second? Now do it again but this time, when you tap the screen to generate alot of particles.... Hold your finer on the screen and dont let go. Just slowly move your finger to the left and right. Do you see how the particles mive really smooth with no frames per second drops? Thee must ber a fps cap. Have you all noticed that? Not only devs, but everyobe should try it. Epics gpu is powerful.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
Are you talking about the 56fps cap?
[Epic 4G General] SINNN:
No clue. Do what I described. You will judge it and maybe understand. Whats the 56 fps cap? Link?
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
If you do a benchmark on the GPU you will notice it is capped at around 56fps....

IF you are on 2.1 you can try this kernel:

Nope. Didnt fix it. I tried pretty much all the roms so far.even the new dk05 builds. All of them behave the same. Odd, but swiping the screen makes the gpu work 100%. More talented devs should just take a peek. DL coligma livewallpaper.

[Epic 4G General] pyroswithoutfire:
I checked it on my wifes evo with an uncapped fps and it did the same thing as on the epic so I am assuming its just the coding of the live wallpaper.
[Epic 4G General] SINNN:

[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
If you are testing this on one of the froyo leak ROMs, I don't think Samsung has the graphics drivers tweaked for froyo. Its very obvious in scrolling menus and the app launcher drawers that there is some jitter and lag. I noticed that the stock live wallpapers don't perform as well as they do on eclair.
[Epic 4G General] Geniusdog254:
Theres a change in FroYo build.props on ALL devices that changes a prop like windowmanager_max_events from 60 to 50, which lowers the scrolling & UI framerates from 60fps to 50fps. Change it in build.prop back to 60 and it'll improve
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
Thanks. I just checked my build.prop and it was set at 55 so I changed it to 60. I haven't noticed any improvement in scrolling. Especially in the Froyo and LauncherPro app drawers. I'm getting occasional glitches and artifacts while playing Asphalt also. I'm guessing that setting the max events any higher won't yield any improvements. Oh well, as long as they have it fixed by the final release I don't care. My GPS has been perfect since flashing DK17 and that's more important to me than video games right now. LOL
[Epic 4G General] SINNN:
Wheres that file? How do I edit it?

Oopps! Just found it. Used root explorer. Under /system/build.prop

Mines was at 55. I changed it to 60, 50, 25, 10, 0,......... But it doesnt stick. When I save it and I double check it, it back at 55. I did mount it at r/w. Reboot and tried again. But never sticks. What am I doing wrong?
[Epic 4G General] ptfdmedic:
SINN,

I just tried this and I bumped it up to max settings and I don't see any slow down. Maybe I am doing something wrong.

EDIT: I just double checked and I have everything maxed out and little to no slow down.
[Epic 4G General] ptfdmedic:
Probably better off making edits like that to the rom zip prior to flashing. I can't get it to stick either unless I edit it inside the zip prior to flashing.
[Epic 4G General] SINNN:
Finally got it to stick. Dl sgstool from the market. U have to make a copy of the build.prop and put out in your sdcard. Then edit it and save it there. Then go back to /system and rename the original build.prop to anything. I renamed it to build.prop1. Then go back to build.prop u saved in the sdcard. Then copy and pasta to /system. Done.
[Epic 4G General] SINNN:
It does slow down. Bump the particle count ashigh as tou can. Max everything out. Then on the home screen look at it but dont touch the screen. Then put your finger on the screen and slightly just wiggle your finger so u move the panel. U will see a difference from static to dynamic.
[Epic 4G General] arashed31:
I noticed this with the nexus revamped wallpaper. In the wallpaper settings there should be a setting to change the FPS of the animation. I set it to 50fps and that fixed the problem. It seems like in the coding of the wallpaper, it limits itself to whatever it's set to, but as soon as touch is involved it ignores the limit and speeds itself up.

[HTC Aria General] 911jason:
It seems like most of the threads about rooting are from back in July. I want to root my phone. I'm pretty sure I should use the Cyanogen ROM. Should I use stable? Experimental? Nightly? I want 2.2 for sure, beyond that I don't really know what the differences are I should be looking for.

So, using Windows 7 what should I do starting from square one, and in which order should I do it?

I would like the ability to un-root and return to stock, if possible.

Thanks for any helpful replies.
[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
Thank you posting this in the appropriate sub-forum. Here is a link in the Development sub-forum that explains all of the steps you need to root your Aria and prepare for loading custom ROMs.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=788737

As for a Froyo 2.2 ROM, you have CM 6.0/6.1 or Liberated FRxx Series. The Liberated FR series has the familiar HTC Sense interface that came on your Aria, but it is built on Froyo 2.2 instead 2.1.

Regards,

Tom
[HTC Aria General] 911jason:
Thanks for the reply Tom, although I'm still hesitant. It seems like every thread I've seen with instructions has quite a few posts afterwards from people having issues. The instructions are also usually about as clear as mud. It seems like the people writing the instructions are writing them for people who have rooted in the past, because they use terminology that a new user like me doesn't understand. I have lots of computer experience (used to design websites in the 90's with Notepad - ha!) but I have zero Linux or smartphone experience, so maybe I should just forget the root thing. It's just that I love Photoshop and would really like to be able to use those skills to customize the look of my phone much more than I currently can.
[HTC Aria General] zervic:
you know what I did when i rooted my phone? I watched a youtube video...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjgg__m-KHc
[HTC Aria General] emigre:
Well 922jason, I think we are both going through exactly the same thing. I bought my Aria already rooted by the seller, and so I missed out on the learning curve of rooting and the terminologies involved. Think I'm more of a learn it on the job kinda fella and now I have to read all these texts.

Anyway, I just did the most daring thing today. I was running Liberated Aria R12 few hours ago and decided to get hands on. Downloaded FroYo Cyanogen, made nandroid backup (yes it's such a noob thing) & flashed (sounds fancy) Cyanogen. Anyways, I found out that it didn't suit me at all because:

1. I can't find my ALL my installed and backup-ed Apps anywhere

2. The familiar Market isn't anywhere in the phone

3. ALL my contact list are gone

4. I couldn't find any application that lets me access my SD card

5. There were wayyyyy too many options to customize in Cyanogen that gave me a headache instead

Now I realize that the pros would bombard me with comments and advice to sort out those problems, and they certainly would know better what to do than me. But as a new user to Android in the smartphone era, I'm just plain confused.

So I restored the nandroid backup and I'm back to the state before I installed Cyanogen :D

BUT, I'm not done yet. I'm now downloading Liberated Aria Froyo FR007 and want to try it out. Just don't chicken out at getting hands on with this cos I wanna get the most out of my Aria. So good luck!

The people at XDA are really helpful and you shouldn't worry about getting lost. Thanks guys!
[HTC Aria General] 911jason:
Thanks for the link Zervic, I'll check that out.

I also appreciate the info Emigre, glad to know I'm not the only noob on XDA! =)
[HTC Aria General] Noz85:
Root yet or still having problems?
[HTC Aria General] 911jason:
I'm waffling big-time! :o

I just read through the huge CM6 thread and seeing all those different problems posted gives me the willies. Going to read through the Sense/Froyo thread next and see if it looks any safer. :p
[HTC Aria General] Noz85:
Dont worry so much with any of the roms here theres a very small chance to brick your phone. If you like how your phone looks now then Liberated is for you. If you want to customize everything them go with CM6.

Your choice but dont over think it lol.

if you need help just ask.
[HTC Aria General] 911jason:
Hey man, I really appreciate that... I like the idea of all the customization possible with CM6, but all of the bug reports in that thread scare the crap out of me.
[HTC Aria General] Noz85:
Thats mostly for the nightly roms. CM6 and CM6.1 RC1 are very stable, I didn't have any major problems with them. Just make sure to fallow all the instructions when installing to avoid any problems with any roms you chose.
[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
I would agree. Both CM 6.0.2.1 and CM 6.1 RC1 have been very reliable for me. As has been mentioned in other posts, most of the 'bugs' are about the nightly CM builds which are truly 'experimental'.

There are a few caveats with CM 6.x that you won't run into with the Liberated ROMs. Number 1 is read the wiki instructions completely. Once you flash the CM 6 you then need to flash the Google Apps so that you can access the Android Market. Number 2 is that the CM 6.x cannot read any contacts you have stored on your SIM card, so you should export them from the SIM and sync them with your GMAIL account.

Regards,

Tom
[HTC Aria General] 911jason:
Okay, anything I need to set aside for doing this? Will the stock 2gb SD card work fine? How long does the process take, from start to finish?
[HTC Aria General] joachim123:
i too am on the learning curve of all this rooting and whatnot. :P before i got the aria just this last wednesday i had the hero cdma with Alltel. which apparently was a B* to root and whatnot, cuz alltel isnt popular for devs ive noticed. when i first got the hero it was really new for alltel, and there were people working on the root process. I too get pretty nervous when i read stuff that i could do to my phone but could brick it.. but then i found out about the recovery mode and nandroid backups.. and OMFG they help a lot when you change a setting to be incompatible and get a boot loop. that was VERY often with that hero.

When i found out that i was getting the Aria cuz of the Alltel to AT&T transition, i kept an eye on the aria threads. day one of getting the aria, i plugged it right in running unrevoked and it went real quick, however thats just the root process of course. you havent installed any roms at this point, just got the privileges.

thats when you boot the recovery mode, do that nandroid backup and copy that backup somewhere safe on a computer or something.. then of course after that then you follow the steps for whichever rom you choose that you want.

IMO- i prefer the Liberated series, i had my chance with CM6.1 on the hero and enjoyed it a bit, but got tired of it and went to the Fresh Hero ROM. so since i knew i liked fresh hero, i knew i wanted liberated series, and most especially because its 2.2 FroYo with the HTC Sense UI (the "stock look" that was mentioned earlier)

and to answer your questions:

1. make sure you have the right usb drivers, youll know if you read the tutorials. the nandroid backup would be somewhere between 200-350MB so make sure you have enough free on the sd.

2.the stock 2gb will work just fine. in the future look into upgrading with a class 4 or class 6 speed MicroSD for even better performance.

3.once you get the drivers and software downloaded, the unrevoked root process takes probably around 5 minutes, if that.. it seemed really fast to me. the nandroid backup process will be fast if you dont have many apps installed now. should only take a few minutes as well. im guessing it takes me like 10-15 minutes sometimes cuz of apps and such, (sometimes i lose track of time). then after nandroid, the wipes are like instant, then flashing the rom, (like i said im bad with time sometimes) and i believe that takes about 5-10 minutes.
[HTC Aria General] 911jason:
So it seems like after I root my phone, I should boot back into the stock ROM and download Titanium to back-up my apps and app data. Is this correct? I don't want to lose access to the apps I have purchased. Is that the best way?
[HTC Aria General] joachim123:
the purchased apps you can obviously re-download, but yes. titanium backup is really useful for saving app/app-data. however, if needed, you can always nandroid the custom rom, restore your stock backup and pull info from that, then restore back to the custom.
[HTC Aria General] 911jason:
I have found quite a few threads around the internet about people losing their paid apps after rooting and flashing a custom ROM. Wasn't sure if there was some step I needed to take to ensure that I can retrieve my paid apps. There aren't many, I've only had my phone for a few weeks, but still... I'm cheap! :D
[HTC Aria General] zervic:
1. You can use titanium to back up your apps, though that isn't 100% necessary because, as previously mentioned, you can re-download your purchased apps.

2. Once you get the ROM installed (if it happens to be cyanogenmod) you need to also install gapps, which includes the market app. If you don't flash the gapps package, obviously, there will be no market.

3. Keep in mind that if you install CM, there will be no more HTC Sync.

4. If you follow the directions in 1, the video i posted for you or 2, any of the threads that explain this process the possibility for you to brick your phone is slim to none. -- as attn1 said "If you manage to brick your phone with this ROM from there, you are a dumb ass of unimaginable proportions, and I absolve myself of any responsibility whatsoever. "

There were a few other things I wanted to mention but I gotta run...
[HTC Aria General] joachim123:
oh haha, well as far as im concerned, the purchases should be saved in the google database as long as you use the same gmail account to log in to the phone. ive been fine every time. even from goin thru the transition of different cell providers and phones. there is an app that im not sure if its allowed to be posted but ill message a link to you. its helped a lot lately even tho i just found it out like two days ago.

Just an update:

I just flashed yesterday Liberated Froyo 007 and it's running smoothly. I'm not sure if I feel any difference with the speed being more nimble. Maybe it's too early to tell cos I haven't played much with it. Everything appears familiar and feel the same as they were at Liberated R12 and I like it.

Steps taken were:

1. Made nandroid backup

2. Wipe data

3. Wipe Dalvik cache (don't know what that does)

4. Flashed F007

Differences now:

1. Lost all my contacts :D

2. Re-installed all apps cos I didn't back them up

3. Some interfaces are slightly different and improved

Well I'll start getting used to it!
[HTC Aria General] 911jason:
