This is really frustrating - even my K700 used to do it effortlessly, so did my K750!

Now who will let SE know that everyone doesn't have a WiFi network at home?

I tried using some obsolete BT Remote apps i got on the web...but didn't work. even these apps are no longer on the market....

I found what I need, I downloaded Gmote server from http://www.gmote.org/, and get Gmote from market, it works great :)

But it only uses WiFi, not bluetooth.

Hello xda. I hope you guys have a solution to my problem. I am playing with the ROM manager from clockwork. But i can't reboot into clockwork recovery? It says installation failed. Then goes to regular recovery mode? Anybody know how to fix this?

Cheers..

EDIT: actually it says Installation aborted.

When you go to the regular recovery, is it the recovery <3e> ? Because if you have the recovery <3e>, you have to go back to recovery <2e> because this recovery can use unsigned update.zip file, whereas the recovery <2e> can't...

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] nickrule1896:
There are so many roms available, but which is the fastest and most stable rom, whether it is eclair or a froyo mod? Since battery has been an issue for most of the roms available, we have to know which rom has the best battery life.

For me, the fastest rom I've encountered was the froyo mod 2.1

However, battery wise, the rom that uses the least amt of power for me was the normal GOT rom with no other roms applied.

Anyone feels otherwise? Feel free to share your experiences with the available roms so to give others an idea of what to expect on other roms.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Aoi_sora9x:
Base on my personal experience, I think FroyoMod rocks (beside that small lag after undocking that I experience). the battery life is a-okay, not stellar, but good enough.

Last time I tried GOT the rom was really unstable and I had a hard time reflash to Eclair. :/

Will wait for MIUI, i love the launcher.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] coolice1:
I have been using Telus Lite for the last few months, with general O/C at 900mhz and i'm very pleased. Average battery life i can stretch is 2 days with about 5-6 hours of wifi use.

I dont have a data plan, so take that into consideration, and screen brightness is always minimum. dont use it as an mp3 player. About 1 hour of talk in 2 days, about 30 - 50 texts / day. And i'm always using my calendar and making notes on the device.

Very pleased.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] jlove:
fastest rom

i tried most of the roms available here, maybe all :).

i searched for the fastest mod, that could let my milestone look superior, and high end. no teering , no slow skipping trough screens, a drawer that wont jerk when scrolling trow apps.

,

this is the results of my research:

Eclair

The fastest eclair mod is most likely Telus Lite rom, i have never seen a rom fast as this one.

only problem: it will get slower with k9mail + pure messenger widget

so i skipped to froyo roms, i thought maybe the ram and overall system managment would be improved. :/ not really. maybe a little bit.

Froyo

The fastest froyo mod was cronos 1.5 , i waited passionly for v1.6 but it was in my oppnion too buggy. maybe just on my phone :/

now i am using the newest cyanogenmod, but i am still not satisfied. maybe i am expecting too much of a milestone overclocked to 1.1 ghz :)

the best batterylife has cronos v1.5

this is how i solved the drawer issue ( jerking around no more, maybe just a little tiny little bit):

i did it with the adw launcher, maybe launcher pro will give the same result.

in portraint mode, 3 apps in arow, in landscape mode 4 apps in a row, and drawer background just a little bit trancparent, if too much it seems to get laggy again, maybe my imagination...

if there is someone out there, that could make a froyo rom, that is slim, and fast as telsus lite rom, it would make the number one rom on xda developers.

like i said i tested all roms with a cpu frequenzy of 1.1 ghz. but still no setisfying

result.

do anybody know who made the telus lite rom, and would he do a froyo lite rom :)?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] nickrule1896:
when is the official froyo coming out for the asia region, or perhaps it doesn't matter cos everybody can still download them of the motorola sbf files website?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
What's sad is people have given up on making 2.1 ROMs good. A lot of them had bugs here and there. CM6 is probably one of the best managed ROMs out there, but I know many people aren't ready to commit to Froyo.

I myself have sacrificed battery life for Nadlabak's awesome support/updates. I do wish I could get a bit more juice out of daily use though.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] jlove:
fastest rom

like everyday, since i brought my milestone, i was digging for gold in xda developers :). i found some good constalation a couple of days ago.

i have now a system that is running fast and stable, and the drawer isnt laggy anymore.

the best results i get with latest roms out here:

CM6 + OH!NO update * 1,1 ghz + launcherproplus 8.1.1 + widgets² = very fast stable, and very smotth. ----> better then an iphone ;)

launcherproplus : Search it and you will find it forsure _' )

i searched for long and this is the setting, that had setisfied me. its the best result you can get for now.!!!!!!!

good luck ;)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] peachpuff:
Haven't seen any bios boot animations for the captivate so i took this one and changed some of the text around for our phones and came up with this. Made 3 versions varying the cpu mhz 1000/1200/1280.

Rename the files to bootanimation.zip and copy them to the /system/media directory.

You can extend or decrease the length of the animation to suit your phone's bootup time by opening up the desc.txt file and changing the third digit on the first line, currently set at 9 or 10, a high number speeds it up and a lower one slows it down. Then re-zip it with no compression and copy it over to the phone again.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] fatbas202:
This looks pretty slick! Thanks for your contribution!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Phoenix-Lead:
This is pretty sick!! Thanks for the awesome boot animation!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dewhite04:
Looks really really good, but...

I think I would make it hold the ANDROID ASCII Art at the end for a couple of seconds so you can see what it is before it goes to the lockscreen.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] peachpuff:
Done and done, the ascii holds up for an extra 2 seconds.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dewhite04:
Perfect - Thanks!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Sqdnguns:
Sweet, just loaded it.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] zelendel:
Looking great but I cant seem to have it finish. I tried the updated version but it still cuts off be fore the end of the anitmation
[Captivate Themes and Apps] peachpuff:
Open up the desc.txt file and change the third digit on the first line to an 11 or a 12, this speeds up the framerate of the animation, then re-zip it with no compression and copy it over to the phone again. I guess on some phones the boot process takes less time, on my phone setting it to 10fps was just right.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] zelendel:
12 Worked great thanks for the outstanding work
[Captivate Themes and Apps] peachpuff:

[Captivate Themes and Apps] rsasecure:
BootAnimations

Not sure what the issue is but I di the following:

1. On my machine renamed biosboot1400mhzASCII.zip to bootanimation.zip

2. Emailed it to myself

3. copied it to /system/media using rootexplorer

4. Rebooted the Captivate

5. Still showed stock boot animation.

Any Ideas?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] tazman171:
What rom are you running? If it's a rom that allows boot animation changes rename the original bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip.apk and then copy over the new file. See if that works for you. Also, make sure you have selected r/w access in rootexplorer. :cool:
[Captivate Themes and Apps] rsasecure:
Looks like my ROM might not support custom animations as I do not see a bootanimation.zip in the /system/media directory. I believe the current boot files in the /system/media directory are bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloo.qmg.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] tazman171:
Yep, that would be why. Stock rom doesn't support it as well as many of the first froyo roms. I believe Cognition 2.3 b3 and up supports it, Perception and many others that I don't know about but are on the site.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] d1g1talphyre:

[Captivate Themes and Apps] Cezar`:
What kernel are you using?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] rsasecure:
Kernel version

2.6.32.9

jetaek.lee@sep-11 #1

I've actually added the .png files in the bootanimation.zip file the the following location /system/media/video/shutdown and it works on shutdown. Looks like I will need to find the startup location and update those .png so it works on startup as well. Any ideas?

Edit: When replacing shutdown_1.png -> shutdown_61.png they default back to the stock galaxy starup .png files. Apparently these are used in the startup process animation. In summary If they are overwritten or replaced they default back to the stock .png files. The shutdown animation seems to use shutdown_61.png -> shutdown_111.png.

[Windows Phone 7 General] WhyBe:
We have many threads here on what feature a given platform has that another doesn't. This thread isn't a feature shootout. I want to know which platform has the

best implementation

of these particular features:

Please give some info/opinion on the implementation of these features:

1) Handling of phone calls or SMS/MMS while within an app-is there a smooth transition?

2) Notifications while in an app

3) Call recording-is it easily accessed during a call?

4) Call/SMS filtering (like MagiCall on WM)

5) Comprehensive voice control of OS functions

6) User-experience for power texters-is it quick and easily accessed?

7) Quality app selection (I emphasize QUALITY) Do the apps utilize all of the hardware features?

8) Social networking implementations

9) Fluidity/Responsiveness

10) How often does phone have to be soft-reset?

11) Editing contacts or taking notes during a phone call. Is it easy or cumbersome?

12) App interoperability (do native and 3rd party apps easily pass pertinent data to one another?)

Please briefly elaborate on your answers for clarity.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dressanderc:
I've owed all the devices, here is my opinion:

1. This one was hard. Android and iOS are tied in this department if you are judging strictly on the stock messaging client. However, Android comes out on top if you take into consideration third party apps.

2. Android, hands down. The notification bar is awesome.

3. My best call recording experience was with iOS, although I never ventured out to much in this department.

4. Again, not too much experience, but Android makes it easy to filter calls, and without third part apps.

5. Android and the built in Google Navigation by a long-shot.

6. Pretty much all of them have the same "chat" style SMS experience. Nothing really sets one apart from the other. I did find that with my Android, very often the default SMS app would get the time incorrect, displaying the "chat" incorrectly, but third party apps fixed that.

7. Quality apps = iOS. Very rarely is an app better on Android or WP7.

8. Windows Phone 7. It is brilliant, and completely on its own compared to the others.

9. WebOS and Android feel fine until you experience iOS and WP7. However, I can't say which one is better between iOS and WP7.

10. Again, tie between WP7 and iOS. You hardly ever have to reset them.

11. All devices make it very easy to do these things while on a call. As for WP7, Android, and iOS, they all place the "tap to return to phone call" bar at the top. They pretty much allow you to do anything you want while on a phone call. Tie

12. I'm gonna say WP7, although this is hard to judge. I do know that the Marketplace, Zune, YouTube, and Internet talk to one another and collaborate data. And Facebook integration is fantastic.

Again, these are just my opinions. Honestly the best way to determine what device you like the most is to just go out and try them. Anyway, hope I could help.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tomhierl:
1. Android, because SMS/MMS/emails are not obtrusive. As for calls, it's a tie, you can take calls and do something else on all of them.

2. Android hands down. Nothing comes close to the notifications bar, it's awesome.

3. Call recording works on both Android and iOS.

4. Android can filter calls out of the box, as far as I know, and there are various apps. Not sure whether the other OSs can do that.

5. Android with Google Navigation (it also has many offline navigation apps, Navigon, Copilot etc. etc.)

6. Very similar on all OSs.

7. iOS has the highest quality apps, followed by Android. WebOS, WP7, WM etc. are far behind.

8. Social networking integration is good in WP7, but with flaws (very few settings). It's also very good in Android.

9. iOS is the most fluid, followed by WP7 (which is very slow at loading but smooth at scrolling) and Android (very fast at loading, but scrolling sometimes lags a bit).

10. Almost never, regardless of the OS.

11. All of them let you do such things while on a call.

12. App interoperability is the best on Android. Apps can integrate into the system everywhere, you can set default apps, apps can share files etc.

WP7 and iOS apps can NOT share any files! WP7 apps can integrate a bit, into hubs, whereas iOS apps are completely isolated.

Android offers by far the most integration/interoperability possibilities.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
I'm going to have to agree with Tomhirl. Straight to the point.
[Windows Phone 7 General] greener88:
I haven't owned an iphone, but I've owned the rest.

1. & 2. WebOS hands down. Nothing beats webOS multitasking and notifications in my mind.

3. Never used it

4. Never used it

5. It sounds like you mean voice commands, not turn-by-turn as indicated by the other posters. WebOS doesn't have this, I'v never used it much on Android or WP7 so couldn't say which is better.

6. Texting is very similar on all three, but I like that sms, and IM chatting were aggregated on webOS.

7. I would think iOS wins here, even though I've never owned one. Of the other three I found Android to be the best.

8. Gotta be WP7. I'm not big on Facebook, but I've been using it a lot just because it's so easily accessed.

9. WP7 blows Android and webOS away here. As was said above; I never thought they were particularly slow until I moved to WP7. I hear iOS has the same effect.

10. Haven't reset WP7 yet but only had it less than a week. WebOS wasn't too bad for this. Android I had to reboot every couple of days due to freezes (Samsung Galaxy S).

11. WebOS by far. Multitasking on webOS is awesome.

12. I think they're all pretty strong in this category.
[Windows Phone 7 General] WhyBe:
Thanks for the replies thus far. I made some edits in the OP for clarity.

I am particularly interested in native functionality as opposed to app-based solutions. When things are native (such as OS-level voice control or social networking), all apps can take advantage of the functionality, as opposed to app-based where the funtionality is not universal (for example MS voice control on WM).
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
given this, android and iOS would probably be best. if you're after what can be offered to the 3rd party apps access, then they take the cake.

as much as i am a loyal windows phone person, i know that the SDKs are still quite limited and will take some time to provide all the functionality like PIM and compass APIs.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhoffy22:
Hi, can someone please recommend me a good pda type app that I can use for keeping track of appointments and other things such as daily task and just things in general that I don't want to forget. I'm a student and would like a way to keep track of my assignments and tests that I need to study for. Right now I have astrid tasks and use that but I'm not too happy with it. I would like it if it would remind me ahead off time of sn upcoming event but it doesn't have that functionality. I would also like for it to sync with a calendar app. What are your recommendations? I would also like a full calendar widget that lets me view all of the months events on there respective days right on my home screen. I have jorte right now.

again, here's what I'm looking for:

-assignment manager for school for homework and tests

-daily task manager with reminders before the task is due

-calendar app that has a widget that allows for viewing of the entire month and each individual days activities right from the home screen
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ifly4vamerica:
I use gtasks, it syncs with google calender, well the task portion of google calendar anyway, has a coule kick butt widgets. It also has the ability to alert you, you can set time and date of task and how far ahead to alert you. if youd like screenies let me know. In the Market under GTasks by Dato, has both free with ads, (ads are only in the program not on the widget) and a paid version.Give it a shot it works great.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhoffy22:
Thanks, I have GTasks but I was looking for a calendar app that will give me a reminder before the actual even is scheduled to take place like a couple days or hours before. Not one that I have to go and look at the calendar to see what's going on for that particular day.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ifly4vamerica:
My GTasks does that, on the particular task just click on "Due Date" its on the upper right corner of the task itself, gives you an option to add a due date and then a reminder you can set for whatever you want, I think the only limitation is that the reminder only lets you set a time for the day you have set as the actual due date. Sorry couldn't be of more help.
