[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joeriginal:
The Powermat dock door comes with a blockage that plugs into the usb port and keeps it covered when its on, and the case for the Evo I have now wont fit over the new dock door, so is there a case that anybody knows of that would.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrsexkey:
I second this. I would love to get a case that covers the new door as it is larger than the original back case.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radar5:
what cases do you have? I would think a Gel case (I have the one from Sprint) might have enough give in order to stretch around it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
What I am trying to figure out is why the hell they designed it with that nub. If you want to usb to your computer do you have to take the battery cover off? Or how about charging in your car?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyfox99:
I currently have a Trident Cyclops case. Now, me being me saw this post and looked at my case and said, "Surely this can be modded to fit." The other voice in my head said "This can be modded, and don't call me Surely." Any who, I wanted a Powermat for some strange reason. Do I really need one, you ask? Doesn't my battery last almost all day anyway, you ask? Yes, but who doesn't want something that passes electricity wirelessly through the air to their phone? So off to Best Buy I went to blow my niece's Christmas present money on a shiny new door and base charger. After a few hours with a dremel, some sand paper, a file, and my utility knife, I had a hard case that supported the nub and the slightly thicker door. It being my first mod ever of sorts like this, it worked out all right. Looking at it, you would not notice any modded difference other than my knife slipped while trimming the rubber flap that covers the USB and HDMI ports and a few mishaps with the dremel (that thing spins REALLY fast!). I wish I had something to post screen shots with of it on my phone, but I am too lazy to break out the DSLR at the moment, It's beddy bye time. Any way, I am pretty sure that the second time around I would be able to mod the case so you would not notice any difference from stock other than the rubber door being trimmed. This mod also allows for me to remove the connector from the door to the USB plug with out having to remove the case at all, and easily too, in case I need to throw the USB cable in it to link to my computer. If any one is intetested, PM me and I will throw up some screen shots tomorrow night. When the holidays are over and my wallet can support it, I may blow my other niece's birthday cash on another Trident Cyclops case and redo it to perfection.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyfox99:
And if your only concern if the USB plug, it is actually a separate piece that easily removes from the phone in case of needing car charger or USB cable for the computer without needing to pull the battery door off.

get used to me around here as im gonna be here a lot

:):):):):):):):cool::):):):)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] adriankeith:
There's a tool out called ChevronWP7 which allows for sideloading of apps but to be honest I'm not sure that's going to let you do what you're looking to do. I too have been in the iPhone world since the beginning when jailbreaking was done through the terminal haha.

Anyways, the ChevronWP7 "unlocker" seems to be along the lines of what you're looking for but others have cautioned to stay away from it as it hasn't been tested extensively and from what I've read they say that you could possibly get banned from the marketplace, have your xbox live account banned among other things which could render the phone somewhat useless. There are a few threads on this forum with lots of good information. I don't think any theming or significant 3rd party apps have been developed just yet. I'm sure it's just a matter of time.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] deise:
Thanks for reply and info much appreciated mate.

Honestly I can't put down this phone at all I love it mate honest. Still learning but loving it every sec.

What you got yourself. Phone wise.

I just learned to sync windows contacts today from old iPhone.

Catch me on Xbox live if ya want. deise Boy

As we know galaxys in known for its video playback, but after froyo 2.2 update avi files don't play smoothly.. Other files such as mkv, mp4 are playing as before..don't know what the problem is..can any one help..!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJEgan:
What format AVI files would be the first question to ask .

jje
[Galaxy S I9000 General] skillszone:
AVI used to work.

Actually the AVI files where working smoothly b4 the froyo update..So does this make any sense..?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Darktori:
Just yesterday I watched a .avi movie on my SGS (Froyo, SpeedMod, lagxif) using Mvideo Player.

Except for a few hickups here and there, worked like a charm, as good as on clean Eclair using Rock Player (the same movie).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] anonymusneo:
Other than playing . Recording has an issue . On 720p there is a slight difference òf audio and video synchronisation .
[Galaxy S I9000 General] skillszone:
@JJEgan , i installed Rock Player and when i go for "hardware decoding mode", Rock Player too has the same avi issue, but if i go for "software decoding mode" everything is working fine..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] skillszone:
@Darktori gud 2 hear that..but don't u feel that something is fuzzy by what i was telling in prev post about that "hardware decoding mode" thing in rock player..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Darktori:
Well it is a bit strange, but do remember, that movie files can be very different. One car run smoot, and another cal lag like hell.

Did you test on the same file?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] skillszone:
ya i did that..actually i did play the same file when i was in eclair, then played after froyo update..

experience

------------

eclair default player

​

- smooth

froyo default player

​

- hickup

froyo rplayer hardware acceleration

​

- hickup

froyo rplayer software acceleration

​

- smooth
[Galaxy S I9000 General] compuse:
I'm playing avi's weekly, .. already played about 10 movies smoothly from my old jpk froyo rom :D

won't dare upgrading this version since there are no true problems here, ..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] skillszone:
@compuse ya better u stick with that..lets find a solution 4 these weird problems..

another one i can notice is in CONTACTS, the alphabets in rightside for quick access has some alphabets missing..haha.. i cant imagine how they r missing these things..

[Galaxy S I9000 General] bilboa1:
Are you using a special kernel?

If you're using a "bigmem" kernel I get the slow downs etc with video playback hardware acceleration occasionally.

Revert to a stock kernel to avoid that. Probably they should give back a little more memory for decoding video.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] skillszone:
@ bilboa1 mine is stock kernel..and if what u say is the reason, then it should giv me same issue when playing mkv or mp4 files too..isn't it..?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ickyboo:
Seems to me there's some sort of buffering problem. Could be settings of whatever froyo kernel you are using. Also don't forget about hdd fragmentation of file.

Software decoding might be working as its buffering with its own scheme while hardware is using hard written settings in hardware or kernel. Thats my guess
[Galaxy S I9000 General] skillszone:
@ ickyboo u have any idea what i should change, for ur information i have rooted and lagfixed the phone..is this issue in any way related to the lagfix..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Darktori:
If you have root, download SGS Tools (search for 'sgstools' in market), from there you can "upgrade stock apps" and update your contacts apk :)

(and while you're there, you can change your default homescreen to anyone you like, very usefull)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] skillszone:
Thanks Darktori, for that info.. i did it now..it works great..kudos 4 that..

so can i do something like that 4 the default video player also..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Darktori:
No idea how to fix that, sorry.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] skillszone:
ok no problem..will wait 4 some solution..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bilboa1:
actually it would be interesting to know the codec and bitrate used (avi is just a container)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] skillszone:
will post u the codec info soon..

just changed the TouchWiz Laucher with the sgstools 1..mindblowing fastness..thank u guys..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ickyboo:
Imho anything over 1500kb (avi) would lag just a bit. Anyhow have you tried hardcores froyo kernels? Try the 500hz kernels as it seems pretty smooth for me. You might have to play with the correct lagfix too. I find jfs to work well. There's just so many variables and there isn't a cache setting. I guess if things don't work then just stick to software decoders like rockplayer for time being
[Galaxy S I9000 General] datdat81:
I did notice the same problem while using doc froyo rom, it wasn't smooth. So I reverted back to jm1 eclair.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] risqu3:
try reverting to eclair and using rplayer with hardware acceleration to see if it was indeed working.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eqjunkie:
Yep im getting the same thing happen here. Prior to froyo all video playback was stutter free now its like a slideshow.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] skillszone:
Will try to change the kernel thing.. If it fixes everything then good..thanks 4 d info..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] skillszone:
Yes, something has gone wrong with the froyo update 4m samsung..lets hope they bring some fixes soon..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] skillszone:
Is there any way we can fix the issue, like rollback the video player to eclair..

there is another thread discussing about d same issue..

FYI im a noob. this is my 2nd android phone that im trying to unroot/root.

REVISED:

found out that the phone has a clockworkmod recovery v2.5.1.0 when i rebooted it to bootloader.

i can fast boot or use the clockworkmod. it even said i can sim lock my phone again, but when i tried it gave me an error saying "sd fat32 init fail"

im trying to follow the instructions posted by "seraph1024" the "original shipping - tutorial" found in the android development for nexus one.

now...

when i got to step 6 "fastboot erase userdata" i had to stop because it would give me an error, "erasing 'userdata' . . . FAILED <remote: not allowed>) (there was a note on it, i followed it and thats how i found out i have clockworkmod)

after i tried to jump to step 9 "fastboot flash userdata userdata.img" and it would just give me this error 'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

i tried and skipped to step 10 "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and it still gave me the same error.

will the pros please help me out... thanks... my warranty will void soon.

Hi guys,

I guess first thing to say is a big THANK YOU for the kind comments and messages that I've recieved regarding the first icon pack. I secretly hoped that you would like it and, judging by the amount of messages, emails and PMs I've received, it would seem that you did!

Anyway, this is my second release and is really an Icon pack in response to the requests that I've had from you. The pack is smaller by about half, but hopefully contain more of what you wanted.

Anyway, I still love to hear from you so please take a look at the readme file within the zip, then feel free to comment as you wish!

You can grab the Icon Pack zip file from here: Icon Pack 2

Enjoy!

Its pretty noticeable. And without the original files it won't look as good as it should if I go around erasing corners. Here's a little comparison :)
[Android Themes] mikebeecham:
Can you confirm if this is the case with all the icons in pack2? I knew there was transparency issue, but I thought I had resolved it

[HTC Aria General] dough_boy:
Ok I been reading alot about people having a problem getting gapps on there phone. I tried all I read none work. Here is what I'm working with. Rooted using unrevoked, I downloaded Tom manager and used it to get cyangenomod 6 r2. I had to download with out that Google app. Checked because it wouldn't load with it. I have downloaded the gapps file from some diffrent places. I see the files when I do clockwork recovery boot. When I apply it I can get. All the way to the screen with the android it says touch to begin but when u touch it just lights up and.nothing happens. If I back up and reflash the rom with the Google app checked it will get to thescreen where it has the blue Droid says cyangenmod with the circle spinning around and it will never load. But with no gapps it loads fine. Please help this is use less with no market.
[HTC Aria General] kaschenberg:
Did you wipe data before installing the ROM?
[HTC Aria General] zervic:
I don't understand...it's simple. Download the gapps package to your phone, move it to the root of your sdcard (i.e. /sdcard) then boot into clockwork, install zip from flash card, choose zip, choose the gapps package and voila.

http://android.d3xt3r01.tk/cyanogen/gapps/gapps-mdpi-20101020-signed.zip
[HTC Aria General] kaschenberg:
The exact steps to follow:

1. Root with unrevoked.

2. Wipe data/factory reset

3. Install CM6.1 RC2

4. Install gapps

5. Reboot device and everything should work nicely.
[HTC Aria General] zervic:
It might be worth his while to boot into the ROM after flashing it, then boot back to clockwork and flash the gapps package.
[HTC Aria General] dough_boy:
This is what. II see the zip file and u click it and it say installed syccesfully Bujumbura when u reboot it never loads to my home screen.
[HTC Aria General] zervic:
dujumbura? What are the procedures you are following to flash the package? Are you using ROM manager? Do you have your phone plugged into USB while booting into clockwork? gotta be a little more specific my friend.
[HTC Aria General] dough_boy:
Sorry that word was a typo lol. I used rom manager to get the rom. I download the gapps to my SD card using the browser on my phone.
[HTC Aria General] dough_boy:
I go into clockwork to install the gapps and reload cygeno. Is this correct way?it works fine all but Google apps.
[HTC Aria General] zervic:
Are you using ROM manager to install gapps? If you are, don't. Just use clockwork. I understand it's the long way, and its somewhat of a pain compared to using ROM manager...but i've read about a lot of people having issues with doing things like this via ROM manager...
[HTC Aria General] dough_boy:
Ok here is what I just did. I downloaded the above link. I turned my phone off booted into clockwork. Found the above file. Installed it. Rebooted. It loaded. Past the cygeno screen where it then asked me if I wanted to back up with Google I checked no. Then hit continue. It goes to a screen says welcome to libirty. Touch the android to start. A little hand is touching. II do this and nothing happens. I downloaded with my phone browsers.
[HTC Aria General] zervic:
Not too sure...if i were you i'd ask the OP from this thread:

Should I just start fresh and do all his from a PC from the start. What do I do just format my memory card an restore from the very first restore?
[HTC Aria General] dough_boy:
Ok I'm posting to let any one know that may have this problem. I fixed this easy. I just downloaded the gapps for my phone straight from my phone browser except I got the tiny one instead.

[Windows Phone 7 General] solidkevin:
So yea I have been a long time Android user and I have had no interest in WP7 after using WM6-6.5, not an iphone guy either, Android just feels right at home for me, so anyway a couple weeks ago my Captivate fell and broke, now I need a new phone, Naturally Android was my first choice and I decided that I was gonna wait for the Olympus that is heavily rumored for ATT in Jan, So all is well....until I see a WP7 commercial and it hits me! "You know what! Lemme check this out, lets see if this is even gonna last against Android and iOS" I tell myself, so I hope on my laptop and start checking out the phones and looking at UI breakthroughs/reviews. At first I thought the UI was a little weird but as the review went on I started liking more and more! Now I think hands down its the best looking OS on a mobile (I used to give that to WebOS), so with the combination of the great looking and fast UI, Single OS and updates across all phones which is important to me because as a heavy android user that has had many Android phones, I can tell you a lot of Custom UIs just SUCK, and most of these phones arent future proof as without rooting you will never get an update.

Im really interested but there are some things that do worry me, first of all I still love android and Im still trying to choose which one.

At first I was really annoyed that you have to use the Zune software to add music, Vids, Pics etc, but I guess its not as bad as that crap they call iTunes.

Wtf is up with all this MicroSD card talk? This is something that is very important to me as I listen to a LOT of music and need that extra memory, If I get WP7, The Focus is the phone I will get, but I need to know my MicroSD will work.

How about the Apps, I have yet to check out the Apps on the Zune Software but how fast do you think MS will catchup? I mean WP7 at 1000, Android at 100,000, and iOs at 300,000, quite a big gap.

Updates are very important to me, I hate to feel like I have an outdated phone, will MS send out the updates or do we have to wait for the Carriers?

And finally the biggest and most important question of all, will WP7 succeed, at this point it looks like WP7 is already at a high level in terms of UI and everything in its infancy stages, but is that enough? Will it ever catch up to Android and more importantly iOS? Will it catch on with the people? This wont be another Kin right? lol

Overall Im VERY interested and seriously considering the jump, there are some minor things that I wanna see fixed and there are some things holding me back such as the MicroSD issue (very important to me as 8gb is not enough for me), and the Olympus (waiting to see how it is).
