I would like to mod the SE Last Calls Widget 3x3 to 4x1 only show 1 last call... is it possible?

and if possible by clicking on contact show what you want to do menu, i refer, see contact, send sms or recall...

Someone can do that? he will be my hero :)

Thanks... i think its a good idea for our homescreens... xD

Thanks to all devs and people who do xda possible :)

I belive that "Last call widget" from market fits your need.

I would like the orginal Widget modded... with contact pic, you understand me??

Sorry im from spain i speak a little english.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] zedray:
Just so you know, the Facebook app only shares contact pictures with native apps (e.g. dialler).

I've avoided adding this feature to Last Call Widget to avoid bad feedback from users who might think that *my* app doesn't show Facebook pictures.

HUH? If I use a file viewer or ROOT EXPLORER, should I see them? ask all of this because if I decide to upgrade from the 8G card the evo came with to a larger one, I want to be able to COPY everything and the apps on the SD I dont see..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
If you selected "move to SD card" from within the phone's settings-applications-manage applications menu, the apps are moved to the asec folder on your SD card. If you used another method to move them, then I "assume" that particular app has its own backup folder.

I was wondering if anyone knows how to port the new Droid X Multitouch keyboard on to the MyTouch 4g? If you've never used it, it's fantastic. They have it now working on the Evo 4g here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=753343. I've tried to get it to work on the Mytouch 3g with now avail. It will install, but just force closes. I'm picking up the 4g tomorrow and was really hoping to get this keyboard installed on both. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] sicdroid:
Ultra Keyboard is the exact same thing and it works perfectly. Multitouch, and WAY customized. Multiple them make it look like any keyboard from Samsung, Stock Android, and HTC. Great app !!!
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] jpiano:
Thanks, looks like a great keyboard but I really like the simplicity of the Droid X's keyboard. Plus, I see where it says that multitouch is included, but I guess it's in the background like the stock Android keyboard. The Droid X's KB lets you hold the shift button down, while typing other letters like "true" multitouch and dare I say . . . the iphone's kb. :o Ultra KB looks like it has some great features, so I may use it too, but still want to find a way to port the actual Droid X's keyboard to the MT4G like others have with the EVO, etc. Thanks!
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] sicdroid:
Works the same way. You can just hold the shift and type. Using it with the HTC theme it looks just like it. Either way, I am sure someone can port it over.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matrixen4:
Hey guys (and girls)

Ok, my problem is that I really want to flash the new DOCs rom. However im getting stuck on the part where the installation guide says to enter into 2e recovery. My phone stock boots into 3e recovery, and simply applying update.zip doesnt work.

A friend told me the problem is in the fact that I dont have 2e recovery - but that this can be fixed by installing Rom Manager. Now I have done this also flashed the CWM, the device is also rooted. I have tried flashing different versions of the recovery, however it gives me an error message upon pressing reboot into recovery: e: error in /cache/update.zip

(Status 2)

Applying multi-csc

Installation aborted

and it still enters "regular" recovery mode.

I have read the attached FAQ in docs thread, but it doesnt seem to adress the issue where one cannot enter 2e recovery.

- Note - found one page in the forum that said to go into the settings of rom manager and select "erase recovery" - and then reflash it. My rom manager doesnt have this option. It is the premium version however.

Is there possibly anyway of flashing docs rom through Odin? or what do I do ?

Kind regards.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android.francis:
The reason why you need 2e is to be able to install CWM. If you already have CWM, then move to the part where you copy doc's files to your SD....

try flashing hardcore's speedmod kernel K9A. that gives you CWM (if don't have CWM yet).

Does anyone use minifreenager on the evo set to aggressive? Does it help or worsen battery life?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dom085:
Task managers in general are a bad idea.

There's been several write ups by people who know way more than I do about how Android manages multitasking.

In general, you're not getting any performance improvement and actually using more battery. Google it if you want more technical answers.

The only reason to use it is to kill some rogue, runaway app. Since 2.2 has that feature built in, I don't even use a third party app.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahauss:
Please remember what MINIFREEMANAGER does and that it TWEEKS the built in 2.2 task manager.. I am wondering if setting to aggressive does anything in terms of battery life either good or bad. MINIFREEMANAGER is not a standard task manager as it is only used to TWEEK the 2.2 task manager....

I opened few themes about my new phone but anyone is not helped me :(

I live in Bosna and their,price of mobile phones are higher than other countries.

But phone which i can buy is Htc Wildfire,Samsung i5700,Sony Eicsson X8,Lg Gt540,Samsung Galaxy 3,5 ,Samsung Wave(but i dont want Bada OS,i want Android).

What will you buy? Wildfire is OK but resolution is so small and i cant play 3d games and some app dont working....

What is the best solution? Or maybe to waitening to see a price of Htc Gratia?

Thank you so much!!! And Sorry for bad English :)

all say that for good playing games need good GPU. Where i can see waht GPU has Wildfire and Gratia and other phones? Thanks :)

EDIT: And how to know which GPU is good or not?
[General Topics] Knedjo:
Stevane,

out of all phones you've mentioned, 5700 SPica is the best choice, simply 'coz it have 3.2" 480x320 screen and fastest CPU/GPu (SoC)

Yeah it's short on memory, but hey at least it has capacitive screen!

Gratia is better phone in any respect, but I don't know where in Bosnia you could buy it, and more importantly if you could how much are you ready to pay for it!?!
[General Topics] Shreyas Jani:
hTC mate....Go in for the Wildfire for now...Look no furthur...Samsung Galaxy 3 isn't much of a good device.A friend of mine has that phone...:)
[General Topics] Knedjo:
Wildfire's QVGA sceen and Qualcom's MSM7225 SoC are major letdowns!

In all respects, except memory size, i5700 spica is better phone!

I agree that Galaxy3 or 5, or any other except Spica and i9000S should be avoided!

Again, if there's a chance to obtain Gratia, that would be best solution, but somehow I doubt that's pssible in Bosnia now!
[General Topics] stevan94:
Htc Gratia is not now availible in Bosnia,but i can wait to see a price.

Htc Wildfire and i5700 are about 225 euros. if grati will be about 260 i will bought them :)

And now i dont know what to do if i cant bought gratia. you say i5700 bu other say wildfire !??
[General Topics] Lordrdx666:
i have got a htc wildfire at home...

And i just love that phone (though my brother doesn't let me touch it)

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dashinuke:
I'm having the problem that my X10 was slow when using it after a longer period of idle. I installed SystemPanel to check out which app was causing this. There I found out that it wasn't a particular app (although FaceRecognition does pop out sometimes), but the CPU is used for 100%, staying at 245MHz. The time it takes to get to 1000MHz is total arbitrary, and it's usually staggers around between this range instead of staying at 1000MHz.

Is it allright that the CPU speed keeps changing within this range ? And does anyone have an idea whats causing the CPU to stay at 245 MHz for too long after being idle ?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Perceval from Hyrule:
Default battery plan is set to "ondemand", which means the cpu will automatically adjusts itself regarding usage. But it's weird indeed it stays at 245MHz, as on mine it often goes to 998MHz just for few things :D

You can force/restore it with setcpu (maybe) ?

Altough your phone is lagging, your battery should stand for weeks with this clock :p

Applying writeback mode is the best option.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hardcore:
Hi danzgrace. Those options you quoted are for journaled modes. data=writeback is still a journaled mode.

This procedure is for non-journaled mode (none of the above). Its faster than all of the above because there is *no* journal.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] danzgrace:
Yes. Just stumbled upon lots of docu about ext4 and you are right about the performance gain when there's no journal involve but kind of risky.

https://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Ext4_Howto#.22No_Journaling.22_mode
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hardcore:
It should be no more risky than ext2. Been using it for a few days now and so far so good.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Peacemanibk:
But its not much more risky because writeback journal does not prevent data loss - it just removes the need of a filecheck after unclean unmounting. Data still can be lost or?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] corgar:
Can you implement this tweak in speedmod kernel?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AnnihilatorSC:
IMO, keeping the journal, with the default data=ordered option, is a good safety vs. speed compromise.

However, have you tried fiddling with the commit= mount option? The default commit interval is 5 s - this could be what's detrimental to battery life (a wake every 5 seconds). Maybe upping this to 60, or even more, seconds? I myself wouldn't care if it were 5 minutes on a phone, but upping it to one minute should already show a significant battery life increase.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hardcore:
Not that easy because I have to modify the recovery executable. Maybe at a later stage.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hardcore:
I'm not sure if this has any effect when there's no journal. But I guess it's worth a shot.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AlexandreT:
I hope there is a way to do this in a script and apply by update.zip in recovery. Please tell me this can be done...

In general use, just how much faster does this feel? I'm asking because regular ext4 does not feel much faster in general use than RFS using speedmod. Back when I was using JM8 + OCLF, k-9 Email was so much faster.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AnnihilatorSC:
It doesn't. But I aim to hang on to the journal. :)

You could try releasing a SpeedMod revision which mounts all ext4 fs's with commit=60. If you do, i'll be sure to report the battery life - the effect should already be obvious to me after a night on battery (I currently lose about 20% battery overnight - no-rfs advanced ext4, w/ defaults).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] danzgrace:
I guess commit=60 or more and journal_async_commit, can save us a lot of battery power.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bilboa1:
you can change the commit options by remounting the disk.. in adb or terminal with root..

mount -oremount,data=writeback,journal_async_commit,... /dev/block/... /data (for example)

you will lose it at phone reboot, too - but good for testing
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] danzgrace:
not unless it was on your playlogos hack.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AnnihilatorSC:
I sincerely doubt journal_async_commit would bring about better power utilization. Maybe a slight performance increase, but nothing significant. Personally, I wouldn't enable that option.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hardcore:
SpeedMod and ULFK supports init scripts, without the playlogos hack.

Just name the script E_something.sh and place it in /system/etc/init.d/

For example /system/etc/init.d/E_startup.sh
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] danzgrace:
Thanks for the info. imho. I feel more safe putting the script on /data partition so if it fails I just factory reset rather than putting it on /system dir.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jaju123:
Cba to do this on my own and I'm afraid of the risks, but implementing it in your next release would be great :)

I'm a leech =D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hardcore:
I agree, actually. And I think users shouldn't have to modify anything in /system. I might change the startup script location to /data (or simply add /data to the search path).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] trasig:
hum. i belivie that no-journaling isent a very good idea on a phone since neither reboots or shutdown are done with proper unmounting as normal linux does. it replays the journal on each reboot. my guess is that it WILL corrupt in the end with reboots or shutdown, and work very good aslong as your phone is never rebooted or shutdown.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AnnihilatorSC:
Running with the following mount options ATM:

/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /data ext4 rw,noatime,commit=60,data=ordered 0 0

/dev/block/stl10 /dbdata ext4 rw,noatime,commit=60,data=ordered 0 0

/dev/block/stl11 /cache ext4 rw,noatime,commit=60,data=ordered 0 0

Removed noauto_da_alloc and barrier=0 (I don't see a tangible benefit from them, only a higher possibility for data loss).

Let's see what the overnight discharge brings.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hardcore:
Actually so far it seems quite alright with normal shutdowns. I regularly check my /res/pre-init.log and haven't seen any errors by fsck.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] _JKay_:
I just applied data=writeback on latest voodoo snapshot curio@carton #817 (it supports adb.exe from recovery menu)

I only applied it on /data and /dbdata because it was already writeback on /cache

Worked fine!

NOTE: e2fsck is located in /voodoo/root/usr/sbin/

and there was no links or paths set for cp, grep etc...

but I had busybox :)

I got one FC at the very first boot but aLogcat said it was Launcher Pro accessing the database, so no major FC. Runs fine now.. no more FCs.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] LockeOn:
Can I use this method for Cyanogenmod?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GwynBleidd:
You can use this method for whatever ext4 partitions on whatever system, as long as you have tune2fs and apply it to correct partitions.

Since it was my idea originally (hey hardcore! :D), I went ahead and even removed journal on my father's SSD netbook running Ubuntu. So far so good.

As for commit=60, you guys might just remove journaling as a whole, it's a big hit towards data integrity, *almost* as big as no journal at all. (Your data syncs vs meta-data every 60 seconds which means that any data from last 60 seconds might get corrupted upon unclean shutdown).

In general, I would categorize ext4 mount options like this (I don't include data=journal because it's slower than a crawling turtle):

- data=ordered, nodelalloc: safest but by far the slowest; I wouldnt recommend this at all;

- data=ordered, commit=5 (default): still very safe and much faster than the above; default options - and probably a compromise between speed and safety;

- data=writeback, commit=5 (default): more speed, less safety. You are not protected against data corruption, since actual data isn't logged on writes;

- data=writeback, commit=[anything 20+]: doesn't make any sense;

- data=doesn't matter, commit=doesn't matter; removed has_journal (no journaling at all): by far the fastest, but also the least safe option.

You can add that, basically, the faster (from among the above options) it gets, the less battery it eats as well (since we have less write operations, and less CPU usage).

Personally I am using no journaling for several days now and I have yet to see any problem.

Re-read all hardcore's warnings before you go ahead though and always keep a fresh nandroid backup handy.

Cheers!

EDIT: If anyone wants to experiment, you might also want to try nouser_xatrr and noacl options, those *might* give a slight performance boost too. You would need to remount with -o nouser_xattr,noacl,[whatever other options] in an init script though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Yes, you can remove Ext4 journal.

You can try, but it's a bad idea.

Android never umount partitions before shutdowns or reboot. Corruption guaranteed at some point.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Hey, im interested in where you found that.

Not challenging you but i'd like to find it / correct that if possible.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Wrong assumption: Voodoo with only /data has already ~1600 with journaling.

I'm quite annoyed now that people consider ULF called "Voodoo" = Voodoo

It's NOT

sorry, bad mood ^^
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GwynBleidd:
Hi supercurio!

The most active partition in terms of writing operations would be /cache, wouldn't it?

Thus, if you do a memory cleanup prior to reboot/shutdown (I always do...) you shouldn't get any significant write operations running, except for maybe those into /cache, which isn't crucial.

What do you think?

Oops... *hides*
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AnnihilatorSC:
I doubt any corruption would occur. Uncommitted transactions don't equate to a corrupted filesystem or files lying on it. It just means that files may become at most one minute out of date if a fault occurs.

EDIT: Listen to supercurio. He's not talking out of his ass, but knows very well what he's saying. ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GwynBleidd:
Mind me, I do realize that! :)

(Although I didnt see Linux yesterday myself, administrating since 1999...)

But I'll take the potential risks and stay with no journal. K9-500Hz+no journal ext4 /data,/dbdata,/cache makes the device so fast that it often boots into launcher BEFORE startup animation and sound manage to complete.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Well at least the current reboot situation of our roms is bad but it could be worse.

You probably already noticed that sometimes, if there are I/O operations being done reboot can take time before being triggered.

My guess (not checked int android source code) is that it does sync() and then reboot.

What's a bit strange is that no partition is umounted.

This is what makes me thinking that Android is just designed be be used with a journaling filesystem.

Or partitions would be umounted before halt or reboots, like it's supposed to be done on most computer system and at least any Unix system.

And thus, non-journaled filesystem are not Android-compatible, by design.

(or maybe it's just Samsung implementation, you tell me :))

PS: sorry hardcore I'm probably hijacking your thread.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GwynBleidd:
Probably a stupid idea, but can we possibly make it remount as ro right before reboot as a workaround?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
remount as ro = umount , but yes it's a nice idea.

Now let's find if new instructions can be injected in the very end of the halt procedure & the reboot
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bilboa1:
Most distros remount read-only instead of umount (it's tricky to umount the partition running /bin/init :p) works just fine
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hardcore:
Hi supercurio. Your concerns are valid, but for some reason even with ext4 no-journaling, I'm not seeing any fsck errors on boot after a proper shutdown.

I remember I used to see fsck errors with ext2, and very bad un-fixable errors with jfs (which is journaled!).

So far for me at least, it's working okay - it is definitely a bit faster than with the journal. I'm not sure about battery life, but I'm not noticing any increase in battery usage too (over rfs).
