[Vibrant General] GameOver69:
I have had my phone rooted and running custom roms for months now. I never had the courage to try a lagfix though. I would like to try now that i have a better understanding of nandroid backups, and titanium backups, and how to use ODIN if necessary.

So my question to all the users is which lagfix works best with the current batch of FROYO roms? Let me know what you guys think, and if you could provide a link to a thread or website that includes instructions on how to apply and reverse the lagfix, i would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!
[Vibrant General] 12paq:
There are a few poll threads going around about Froyo. Maybe not lag fixes specifically but it is mentioned often. I find lagfix is less needed on Froyo.

I am using Axura 2.0.5 its very snappy without a lagfix. However there is a VooDoo kernel for it. I don't use it. OCLF seems to not play well yet on some 2.2. Some it does.

TeamWiskey makes good Roms for lagfixes. And Eugene cranks out the cool tweakable kernals and Roms.

There's s alot to checkout, flash away! Search the site and use the Vibrant Bible it has most links you need. The unistal Voodoo is allover the site, just search.

If you don't know yet, always disabled or uninstall any lagfix prior to flashing a new rom. OCLF Iis very easy to uninstall.
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
So bringing this thread back to life.

I'm on Deodexed/Rooted stock KB5 and my phone lately is lagging a lot.

What lag fix do you guys recommend?

I was thinking about Voodoo?

I've never applied any lagfix.

Is there anything I should consider? Complications? Future flashing problems? Backing up necessary? Unexpected issues I should know about? Etc etc..
[Vibrant General] geoffcorey:
Voodoo lagfix. It's pretty much standard now on the vibrant, and there really isn't anything to worry about, assuming you flash a voodoo kernel with a charged battery. But it's so widely supported, you more than likely won't find anything that doesn't support it.
[Vibrant General] onasri15:
Try the new Darky 10.2 rom. It works good and has voodoo 6 + lagfix.
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
What is voodoo 6?

I installed kb5 kernel with voodoo and noticed no difference in lag improvement. My phone still lags.
[Vibrant General] mdi2001:
I use toxic 8 with the v6 scripts and bali x kernel. Dragon kernel #1 ran smooth too. fastest my phone has run in past few months with no lag. I only overclock to 1100mhz otherwise it locks up. Good battery life too.

I got out of gaming after my first PS died on me years ago. Soooo... I believe its time for me to get a gaming system. Any thoughts on which one people prefer. I have played alot on both systems, its just everyone I talk to is either one system or the other. One is better then this and the other yada yada, I want info that only xda can provide. Like say if I wanted to tinker with it. What do you guys think, which system would be the best for me?

[Off-topic] -WP7User-:
I would go for the PS3, because playing online with your friends is free there. On the xbox360, you have to have a Live Account which costs money to play online...And the PS3 has got the better exclusive Games (Killzone, GoW and so on :D) and it can play BluRay's...

I agree, PS3 is the way to go. I have both but my 360 just sits there collecting dust.

And with the recent release of Gran Turismo 5, PS3 has been getting consistent use. Lol.

Blu-Ray movies are a huge plus as well.

360 all the way.

Microsoft did research and found the controllers to be more comfortable and fitting to natural finger techniques.

Also, the game engines show up a lot better.

Yeah, you pay for the online experience, but it's worth it. As a result of your payment, they invest a lot more in the online experience and content.

Plus, what games does PS3 have going for it? GT5 is about it, and even then, the Forza series competes nicely.

I personally won't bother with a PS3 until they fix the controllers and Sony isn't such a douchebag company.
[Off-topic] Shreyas Jani:
Hmm..Still,PS3 for me!!!:D
[Off-topic] EuroSpeed:
I have Forza 3 and Gran Turismo 5 and GT5 crushes Forza.

PS3 games that are worth it for me would be:

Uncharted 1 & 2

Infamous

Killzone 2 and 3 is coming soon

Resistance 2 and 3 is coming soon too

I also prefer the PS3 controllers, they feel more comfortable in the hand during long periods of playing time.
[Off-topic] DS1495:
Definitely PS3! especially if you're into racing games, GT5 is hands down the BEST racing game I have ever played.
[Off-topic] rorytmeadows:
So, PS3 has NO games that compete...
[Off-topic] rorytmeadows:
Yet, Forza 4 is the answer to that game.

What can you say about kinect? And the price of the games, and those things...
[Off-topic] rorytmeadows:

Kinect is the first mainstream attempt at controller-less gaming. That deserves 400% credit. In the same realm, PS3 is a hi-def Wii (Wii sucks).

I finally bought the Sprint Extended battery and thought the extra white battery cover just didn't look right on the black Evo, so I decided to paint it one of my favorite colors Olive Drab super matte army green (whatever you want to call it)

Let me know what you think!
[EVO 4G Accessories] devnulldroid:
looks good..plastikote paint?
[EVO 4G Accessories] alxrock:
I sanded it down and used Krylon's Camo paint and a couple of coats of Krylon's matte clearcoat. it didn't take very long to do at all.
[EVO 4G Accessories] devnulldroid:
Cool may be headed out to get some paint to do mine as well..damn white one is too glossy and I don't like it that color either.

May give it a Hammered Finish

Hell one could use it as an EVO mirror out of the box. :D
[EVO 4G Accessories] aronslusa:
After seeing that... I think I may have to do it too!

Thanks for the simplistic idea to enhance it man!
[EVO 4G Accessories] alxrock:

[EVO 4G Accessories] SpaceMonky:

i love me some OD green.
[EVO 4G Accessories] nugzo:
Looks great. Better paint job than some retail cases.
[EVO 4G Accessories] alxrock:
Thanks. I saw that TridentCase came out with the Cyclops case in the Olive Drab green and I really liked the idea of that color for my phone. The red ring around the camera lens really stands out and brings out the look. I'm planning on getting a vinyl decal of the offset Android logo for the back in yellow or maybe gunmetal.

I grabbed a pic from his site:

Looks pretty nice, and it's affordable.

very possible @op. install sipdroid and let it make you a new pbxes automagically and have gv installed. i treated my viewsonic like a project and first testing requirement was "could i make and receive calls?" well i got swype plus mic and call and recieve working...but the software was still horrible. i couldnt beleive that a device like a giant epic(sgstabby) could massacre my tegra2tabby by way of speed and sheer quickness...working on phone call and receive now for my galaxy tab and i couldnt be happier....amazing what software can do...this tabby will be awesome if it gets enough dev but as it stands its going to be overlooked just because of the crap software...i used all custom roms and none had the performance of STOCK s g tabby....i hate samsung and i looked forward to this device for so long...rather disappointing...glad i purchased at staples with no restock fee :D
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] aaron19953:
Humm, my sipdroid works just dandy... using sipgate, sipsorcery, Google voice..

Sidebar, in sipdroid you must hit menu>speaker to hear anything.. I've also found within sipdroid in landscape mode the keyboard "enter" button actually starts the call
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] marianosf:
+1 Skype works fine for me. I have a Skype number and the $2.99 unlimited US/Can calls. I can receive and make calls. I use my phone headset and it works perfectly.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] HypnoticGuy:
Ok, so I got a Galaxy Tablet (Sprint) from BestBuy, and plan to use it only with WiFi.

I was searching around and discovered Sipdriod as a possible app to make calls over WiFi with my G Tab, but when I try to place a call I get the message "Cannot make or take a call using the Galaxy Tab."

Anyone know why this is?

I read above that Sipdroid won't work, but I am wondering why. I mean is this a limitation Sprint has put on their G Tabs? Is it some limitation Samsung built in?

It just doesn't make sense to me that I can have an Android app that should be able to make a call over WiFi, but the G Tab is restricted.

How can i change the style and the colour of startbar icon ? :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Senax:
HTC coloured top bars

First you need to install SDKCert.cab if you've not already got it.

HTC Coloured Top Bar.cab

HTCzar's HTC Iconbar.cab -=[ Screenshot ]=-

Unfortunately I can not find the original threads of these above cabs. In my opinion they are both from xda-developers.. though... where??! So search for 'm yourself..

Anyway after installing them both, my Windows (home) Hardware Button STOPPED working :mad:

Thus I used PHM Tools it's Desktop.exe, to get to my Today Screen using Topaz Keyboard Controller to reconfigure my hardware buttons.

Simple isn't it ;) I hope this helps have a nice day,
[Galaxy Tab General] socksfelloff:
Gotta say I'm pretty disappointed with this screen. I allready have a few scratches across the screen in just a few days of use. I've done everything to my poor Nexus one, including dropping it 2 stories off the top of an elevator with no scratches in the screen.

Anyone else Disappointed with the screen?
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
lol - doesnt matter what kind of glass it is

its either all the gear and no idea sindrome or bad luck mate, you choose which suits you best

if had mine for two months without a case and its still perfect
[Galaxy Tab General] TurckBoatTruck:
Not in the least. I just returned a TMobile tab that I've had since release date (replaced w/ an ATT tab that I will be flashing soon) and I can't imagine what you've done to scratch that thing... actually, what did you do to scratch it?
[Galaxy Tab General] socksfelloff:
I've babied this thing. The only time I transport it is in the inner pocket of my jacket which is clean. 2 hair line scratches down each side of the screen. Wish I knew what did it so I could avoid doing so again. I hate screen protectors and feel they are a waste on today's generation of screens. Maybe not. Otherwise I'm very happy with it.
[Galaxy Tab General] gareth824:
I don't care what the glass is made from, I always use protection lol
[Galaxy Tab General] GANJDROID:
thats what she said ;)

but anyway, ive dropped mine a few times, stood on it in boots, had my cousin kick it and it has no marks at all. damn impressed.
[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
Anything harder than Gorilla Glass can scratch it. Many types of sand particles are hard enough. Sounds like that jacket pocket ain't as clean as you think it is.
[Galaxy Tab General] dboppc130:
I dropped mine 5 feet face down onto dirty hardwood floor. It slid face down over dirt and sand for about 3 feet. Not one scratch. My heart however will probably not recover from the scare. I had just opened the box and taken the plastic cover off.
[Galaxy Tab General] qipengart:
I use Clear Protector shields on anything I get since Gorilla Glass can get beat up by giraffes LOL.
[Galaxy Tab General] daniel.weck:
I'm quite impressed by how tough the display is to be honest.

I had it in my pocket next to a bunch of keys...not a single mark on the screen.

Fingerprints are a pain, but there's actually something quite satisfying when cleaning the display with chamois leather until it is squeeky-shiny-new :D
[Galaxy Tab General] peestandingup:
I don't trust any glass products not to scratch, whatever fancy name they call it. I've had one of these on since day 1: http://www.handhelditems.com/steinh...-screen-protector-ultra-crystal-p-152827.html
[Galaxy Tab General] burningembers:
Gorilla Glass isn't scratch proof, and I have no idea if you were babying it how you scratched it. I'm pretty tough on my devices (Samsung Fascinate, Samsung Focus, and Galaxy Tab) - and not a single one has scratches.

Do you have sand or something in your pocket or bag? Sand is strong enough to scratch glass.

@daniel.weck - keys won't scratch normal glass, let alone supposed gorilla glass, they aren't strong enough.

People have had luck in the past buffing out small scratches with glass polish - YMMV and I'd personally be too afraid to try it.

Some screen protectors because of how they are applied will "fill in" small scratches so you don't even see them anymore. I highly recommend this route.

I tried them both in order to get a permanent root, but I was not able to permanently root - neither via visionary nor rage. Only the temp. root on bootup with visionary is working as expected.

The only different thing there from my phone is the "CL273327" bit. Not sure if that is significant. But the kernel version is exactly the same, which I suspect is more important.

I will upload the kernel later,along with and other important stuff you require.

It's not the VF RUU but skitz managed to debrand back to it so we need to compare the files that you get compared to the one he currently has :)

As RyanMacG points out this is the debranded RUU im currently running on my VF Desire Z. If you have a rooted, S-OFF Desire Z we would really appreciate it if you downgraded to this RUU and dumped the partitions noted in post #1. Would that be possible?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
I see from #G2ROOT that scotty is on the case, which is great.

I still find it very hard to believe that Vodafone/HTC have done anything special on a ROM dated Oct 29 (well before permanent root/NAND unlock was achieved) to deliberately mess things up for us. Probably more an accident or other weird occurrence ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
I have a permarooted/S-OFF'd DZ. How easy is it for me to flash this old RUU to help you guys out ? I also don't want to get stuck in a bad place lol.

I don't mind doing it if it's going to be straightforward. I need to know how to do it so that I can easily get back to where I am now, e.g. hopefully I can restore a Nandroid backup of my current ROM ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] skitzophrenick:
Awesome, thanks. Well in theory you shouldnt have any problems restoring a backup but the RUU does replace the radio, hboot, recovery, system, etc. so if you want everything exactly as they are you would need to do a few things first. I would recommend looking for a suitable RUU to match your setup when you rooted, that way you get to keep radio and anything else that you left stock, and it wouldnt hurt to run TitaniumBackup incase nandroid doesnt work out and it needs a reinstall.

Then you can "upgrade" back to this to redo the permaroot and S-OFF. The current stats for the 1.22.405.1 RUU are below, providing they are all older than your current setup *fingers crossed* I cant see any reason why you shouldnt be able to root again afterwards

I'm kinda worried that, although I'm quite technical and am comfortable with the Unix command line, I also have very little Android experience.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] skitzophrenick:
I understand your concern, but looking at post 15, http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9193227&postcount=15 , which links to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=831398 it seems people were not changing the misc partition and so its not surprising that once hboot was replaced it was checking to see if the update was older and because it was their flash failed. If you look at the guides they advise you to edit misc to the version you wish to flash, so you are basically fooling the update into believing you are re-flashing the same rom, so there is no reason for it to fail. The condition put in place by HTC is that the current rom must not be newer than the update, so you will be safe.

Im glad you are being careful with your hardware, the more you know about what is happening during this process the better.

To clarify, the goldcard overrides the check to see if the device ID for the update matches the device you own (e.g. HTC Generic, Vodafone branded, etc..), which is why you normally wouldnt be able to flash a generic firmware over a branded one, goldcard skips this step and lets you flash it anyway. Not entirely sure you need the goldcard but it wouldnt hurt, and since you can continue using the card as a normal storage device its a convenient tool to keep should you need it in the future.
