Read this post, should tell you everything you need to know.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] clamknuckle:
I made some quick Launcher Pro icons for Brooklyn's finest plumber, and some of his crew.

To be totally honest, I just took the icons from this site:

http://ph03nyx.deviantart.com/art/Super-Mario-Icons-for-Windows-80735574

He said it's ok as long as it's for personal use, and as I'm not selling these or taking donations, I would assume it's ok. If not please let me know.

And then I used the super major brothers font found here:

http://mfs.sub.jp/font.html

Google translate said that it stated it was ok to use for non commercial purposes

and finally, I suggest using this as your launcher pro dock:

http://launcherpro.droidicon.com/docks/mario-blocks-full-1539

I included the dock in the zip, but stop by that site and rate it 5!

If you have beautiful widgets, theres a nice 8 bit clock and weather theme that go with the whole theme.

I attached a screen shot with the widgets and the mario live wallpaper

So far, I'm pleased with how they came out. If you are a mario fan, you may want to check them out. I have a lot of mario sounds too, but I found those through various sites and have no way to prove they are kosher, so I can't post those, but overall, I'm pleased with my super mario themed phone!

A few are previewed below, along with the zip of all of them. 19 icons and the dock are in the zip. I tried to get all the basics and a few extras. If you have any requests or suggestions for new ones, let me know.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] John_Q:
I don't use icons , but I'll try these. Awesome thanks. Anyone got Level 1-1 for a wallpaper?

looks great!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] horiveira:
These are awesome, man! Good job.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Max_Pain:
Cool icons...for anyone interested there is a mario live wallpaper in the market that would go great with these!

Swyped from my HTC Evo 4G on the MetroPCS 1X network!
[G2 and Desire Z General] Tman0604:
Just did everything to my g2 at once today, and lost one of my fav features; swype...i have cyanogenmod-6.1.0-RC3-vision... i went and downloaded the stock rom and pulled the apk file from it and when i installed it, it kept force closing. i even tried pushing it via abd but kept getting errors.. can someone please help
[G2 and Desire Z General] misconcepti0n:
You need to grab libSwypeCore.so from /system/lib and push it to same directory on new ROM.
[G2 and Desire Z General] funkeee:
Just download the apk provided by oldsk00lz to recover swype from your clockwork backup. It worked for me.

[G2 and Desire Z General] Tman0604:
what are the commands? i have a stock rom downloaded and have the swpe file s sitting on my desktop ready to go..i have the swype.apk and libswypecore.so...i tried transferring them to the app file on the root of my phone and system/lib via astro manager but it wont let me
[G2 and Desire Z General] Tman0604:
what page is it on?
[G2 and Desire Z General] RuncaProfundus:
the first line of code changes your system to READ/WRITE I use root explorer to change it back to READ-ONLY or just reboot.

adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
adb push libSwypeCore.so /system/lib
adb install Swype.apk

for the code I wrote to work for you the files need to be in the same folder that the adb.exe runs out of. this is usually located in the tools folder in the android SDK otherwise you have to type the full path ie

this is on windows 7 on my computer so file path will be different for you

adb push C:\users\etnie\downloads\G2\libSwypeCore.so /system/lib

hope that helps

I'm using PowerAMP 1.0 and it's causing 100% CPU use and choppy playback on my HTC Evo when playing back MP3 files.

The first 30 seconds or so are fine but then CPU use jumps up to 100% and stays there, even after running a task killer. It only happens with this program running, is there anything I should do to try to fix this? I really like this audio player interface I just wish it wasn't so buggy!
[Android Apps and Games] Jaydoog:
No wonder my EVO has been acting up since i put that on there
[Android Apps and Games] MaxMP:
PowerAMP shouldn't behave like this.

Please try to get some app which shows processes cpu consumption and find the process which high %.

Also, what is your ROM, any custom one?
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
No such issues here, I see 3-7% CPU utilization playing oggs and mp3's.
[Android Apps and Games] aquakevem:
No issues with PowerAMP here, uses 2.3% of CPU while playing mp3's.
[Android Apps and Games] tonyfate:
Haven't had any CPU issues but my PowerAMP has been acting up! It'll be playing then all of a sudden it won't read any of my files. SAying too many failed files and it'll skip thru a few then just stops. It's wierd, I had uninstall and re-install.
[Android Apps and Games] brsm:
I'm having a similar issue with an HTC Hero running Cyanogenmod 6.1. It'll play fine sometimes, but other times my phone locks up pretty good with choppy music, so much that I can't even see the loads for individual processes. This only happens when using PowerAMP.

Also, when it IS working, PowerAMP CPU usage varies between 20%-70%, with it typically 29%-39%. Key point is that this is playing WMA files. I haven't tried MP3s yet.
[Android Apps and Games] sandandsea:
I do notice high cpu with PowerAmp as watchdog told me.

30%~50% cpu while playing eaac+(m4a)
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Try mp3 and see if you see more like 5-10%? If so, it must be codec specific.
[Android Apps and Games] sweets11:
I dont know why, but poweramp for me was getting really choppy, causing the cpu to spike and audio would skip when going for a run with GPS apps in the background. I've switched back to doubletwist and its smooth again.

This is on a captivate 2.2.1 OC@1.2ghz.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anartic:
Some of you may have this problem, some of you may not, but me and my cousin have this problem with our G2 where the sound from the other line is very quiet for us when we use the phone... as a phone. So what I want to know is, is there any way to increase the sound on for this? Do we have defected phones?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FallingEdge:
I have this problem as well. In call volume is maxed out but it doesn't sound very loud at all.

I have root access with CM 6.1.0 RC3.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sk17z0:
My calls are loud and clear. Its the speaker phone thats low for me.

Does it happen with all calls incoming and out going?

Also are you on wifi?

How is your signal strength?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariopm2005:
Same with me my speak phone volume is lower than I would like it, but head set speaker loud and clear
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anartic:
Yes, it's all of the calls that I make and receive. I'm never on wifi and my signal strength during the calls are all good. It may be just me also, but the G2 mic may be quiet also because when I call my cousin he sounds like he's whispering to me but when I call someone else their sound is just quiet, but enough to hear it with a small bit of background noise. I haven't asked him how the sound was when I called him since it's something I just noticed.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nivlac978:
Mine's a little soft as well. It kinda sucks that one of the few flaws with this phone is it's use as a phone, lol.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sk17z0:
You sure the phone volume is up? Also have you called Tmobile about this?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enrayged:
I have had mine for a little over a month and it is loud and clear, I have no issues hearing anyone, and no one has issues hearing me... really good sound quality imo. I am on stock rom still. Speakerphone is very weak for me as well.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FallingEdge:
Yeah, in call phone volume is incredibly weak for me. Going to try to boot into stock and see what happens. Is there an app to make the volume louder? Or some way we can change it?

EDIT: Okay. Turns out that I am an idiot. Phone is still new for me so I left the default protective screen on. As soon as I took that off, phone calls were a lot more clear. Just ordered a proper screen protector so I just have to be careful until then haha. Don't know if this will help out anyone but hey, figured I let you guys know.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cthulion:
You know, the real problem with the G2 is HTC quality control on those. I'm on my second G2...the call volume is way lower than my first one...

also the keyboard is a LOT better on the second one, I didn't care at all about the keyboard on my first G2, as the keys were very recessed and didn't have a real "feedback", so I never used it. Made me think the whole keyboard thing about the phone was useless, now I'm in love with it.

My problem is the hinge on the second G2 is much looser than the first one.

If you bought yours recently, just exchange it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anartic:
I'm positive the phone volume up. I haven't called T-Mobile yet because I haven't had time.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malloy0:
Ditto on the in call volume, would like to boost.

Anyone try this app Louder Volume Hack v4.1?

http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.AutoMod

I came from an HTC Aria and had the same in call sound trouble, then I tried Louder Volume Hack v3.6 but no luck, did not work.

Instead after some other searching I found a XDA forum that suggested turning on the TTY for the Hearing Impaired option in the Aria and waa-laa ---it worked. Apparently though, this TTY / Hearing Imparied option does not exist in the SOUND settings for the Z.

So, still looking for idea on the in call volume boost.

Theres an app called DSP Manager on CM 6.1.1 that i used to up the voume a whole lot. It comes already installed when you install that rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkeee:
My speaker works great except during a call. I can't hear a thing from it when on a call however. It must be a software issue, then. I started a thread a bit back, but with no luck. I hope we can find a fix.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tvdang7:
my in ear sound isnt that loud either.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malloy0:
Ok...regarding the app called DSP Manager on CM 6.1.1, I checked into this, but is appears it only helps on the "media" volume but NOT the phone speaker or in call volume for when the phone is to my ear during a call.

Can you advise, is DSP Manager helping for this in call volume?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malloy0:
Ok...

I found 3 different versions of DSP manager and frankly am afraid to install w/o having a little more dialog with some of you that may be wiser than me.

The three files are attached and as listed are:

DSPManager120210_ALL.zip

DSPManager_080910.apk

DSPManager_100810.zip

The DSPManager120210_ALL.zip file came from this link and appears to the the latest

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_packages_apps_DSPManager

The APK file came from this XDA link

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=750765

Anyway, after looking at the DSPManager_100810.zip file in unzipped mode, the file structure is different than the other zip file, which makes me a little nervous to flash uisng ROM Manager of Clockworkmod.

Meanwhile, I may install the APK file because I can easily uninstall if there is no improvement in the IN CALL VOLUME.

Any insights are welcomed.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malloy0:
Well I dove in and thank goodness for NAND backups...

Here is the deal (as of 12/31/10 4:05 PM EST):

- DSPManager120210_ALL.zip DID NOT FLASH

- DSPManager_080910.apk INSTALLED BUT NO CHANGE ON MY DESIRE Z A7275

- DSPManager_100810.zip FLASHED BUT NO EAR PEICE SOUND NOR SPEAKER SOUND

Now as of 12/31/10 4:11 PM EST in an restoring from my 12/31/10 10:00 AM EST NAND backup.

Gosh I hate doing this trial and error stuff, talk about a heart attack.

Will update after I complete my full restore and hope all is back in fully operational order.

I'm soo sorry bro, I luld :D Happy new year!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bdix:
Idk if this will work for you guys, but my call vol. Was very low as well. It has to do with the way the speaker is in the phone. When my wife and i first got the phone, She said "the call vol is great", but I could not hear a thing.

Try to move the ear piece around on your ear, It worked for me. The hole time I was just holding it wrong. Now my call vol is turned down becauce its to loud.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dadewy:
:D:D That's the funniest thing I've read all day - thanks for sharing!

For those who complain about the speaker phone volume being too low: turn the phone over, the speaker is on the back. It's really easy for it to get muffled, especially when lying on top of something that's not perfectly smooth like a couch or bed.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Solutor:
I'm coming from a milestone and frankly I found the audio of DZ simply a joke, I hope in a kernel hack or something else to increase the audio level at least on the external speaker.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stephen31686:
Have you guys tried adjusting the way you hold the phone to your ear? The sound is louder when you put the top left corner closest to your ear canal.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Solutor:
I'm speaking (mainly) about the external speaker (watching movies, turn by turn navigation, and so on), the normal audio during calls is also too low, but not unbelievably low.

BTW in 16 years I changed more than 100 cellphones, my ears are still on the same place, i think that I'm able to put the phone on the right place :D
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lainvalenajr:
U should use the orginal headphones thay came with it. Or use speaker of course
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malloy0:
L,

See you in the MIUI Rom threads.

Writing here 'cause MIUI earpiece is louder than Sense Roms. No matter 2.2.1, 2.3.1, 2.3.3 for sense. But MIUI earpice is definitely louder.

You experience the same thing?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lainvalenajr:
I think it doesn't really matter what rom you use. I've used every rom on the dev section and don't really see a real change in sound. I've been using MIUI for almost two month lol and loving it. Anyways this is what I think.

Dsp manager is built into cm7 and it supports external, internal, and blutooth sound. You have to go into each one and use the eq...

Meltus has an app in the Market called "Volume+" that boosts the sound in GB builds, and you don't need to be rooted to use it.

my mt4g still defaults back to t-mobile account even though I unchecked the t-mobile sync. :(
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XfooYen:
That probably means you still have T-Mobile contacts linked to some of your Google ones. Try this:

1) On the web, make sure ALL your contacts are in your Google.com contacts.

2) On your phone, make sure sync with T-Mobile is UNCHECKED and that ONLY Google sync IS checked.

3) Go to Settings/Applications/Manage Applications and choose the Running tab.

4) Scroll and choose Contacts Storage.

5) Select Clear Data - WARNING- THIS WILL ERASE ALL CONTACTS DATA FROM YOUR PHONE. DON'T WORRY. IT WILL SYNC BACK.

6) Go into Contacts. Hit Menu/View. Make sure that T-mobile (and any other accounts you don't want to display) is UNCHECKED.

7) Go back to Accounts & Sync and make sure Google is syncing ant that T-Mobile remains deselected.

You should be good to go when it comes to Google being the default contact entry. If you had contacts linked with Facebook, Twitter or otherwise, you will have to now let those sync and auto-link again. It's worth the trouble, though. Good luck.

[Captivate Accessories] deadly0ne:
I have a Samsung Captivate and was unable to find the dock sold in Canada at stores or online, so I decided to create a dock of my own. :p

All I used was a black sketching board (not bristol), black electrical tape and a few other items used to create the dock (scissors, ruler, pencil), also added two batteries for weight but anything else could work.

The dock in my opinion looks very good, I was aiming for a minimalistic look while making it sturdy as well. This dock is also very versatile, it can work in both landscape and portrait mode.

Overall time to make this was two hours *due to figuring out measurements and putting it precisely together*, but it was worth it. I saved myself several dollars which is always a plus. :D

If you are interested or have any questions about this, just ask!

I have uploaded a few pictures of process and final. (I wasn't able to upload each step by step process due to the picture limit of my account)

Cheers!

[Captivate Accessories] KryptosXLayer2:
Problem is.... and I'm NOT trying to be critical here, please understand that from the get go.... that ISN'T a dock, it is a stand! A dock also incorporates the charger so you "dock" the phone into the charging port so it automatically connects the cable. What you have, and it is very nice looking, no doubt about it, is a stand with a cable behind it, same as what I've done and most of us have done.

I've rigged a car charging DOCK up once, but the thing is SO fussy, if you are off by a fraction of a millimeter or don't push the phone all the way in with the strength of the Hulk it sometimes seems, then it won't charge the phone, and all those hours spent making something custom are wasted....

Looks good, again! Now make it charge the phone just by dropping it in!

So this is a new one for me,

So I removed some factory apps, the one in question being MOTOHOME.apk, (the home screen), as I prefer ADW and was making space.

However, a couple of days later I went to update ADW and there was an issue, ADW uninstalled and it wouldn't download so I recklessly restarted my phone without putting MOTOHOME back on and now my phone will not go past the motorola M, (as there is no homescreen app).

So I need a way to reinstall my factory apps so I can use it again.

Is there any update.zip I can apply to the SD card?

Thanks so much for the help guys,

appreciate it.
