[G2 and Desire Z General] sciphonic:
I'm using a week old T-mobile G2. I applied the OTA update out of the box and used it heavily for a few days. It was very snappy and smooth with Quadrant scores in the 1600's. The Battery was lasting me around 10 hours of moderate use on Wifi and 2G with no GPS use.

Now I have the phone perma-rooted, flashed to CM 6.1.1, and using Pershoot's Kernel. I have SetCPU installed and I have 6 profiles running. I dial it down to 245 when the screen is off and 768 when the battery is low but otherwise I run it at 1516 max and 1017 min. Battery life is incredible! I've been off the charger for 13 hours now and I'm at 69%. That's on wifi and 2G with sync turned on. I've installed about 20 apps on top of CM6. Keep in mind this is a brand new battery and this is only my second day of use on this configuration.

As for performance, this setup blows away any other phone that I've used. I've owned or used extensively the Galaxy S phones, Evo/DInc, Overclocked Droids, and the iPhone 4 and the G2 in this configuration is noticeably faster. Everything happens right-effin-now when you click it. My Quadrant score is now steady in the 2700's. Linpack is 50+. Nenamark is 45-48. Neocore is 56.7. GPUBench is 38000. FPS2d averages 58.

I'd like to note that I did experience lag before I got the SetCPU profiles sorted out. Allowing the phone to clock itself between 1516 and 245 during normal use wasn't very smooth. Now that I've set the low end to 1017 it's always fast no matter what. I've really tried to push it by opening a ton of apps, streaming Slacker in the background, scrolling pinching Maps or Dolphin web browser, playing Flash, and skipping around in large Divx files in VPlayer. Everything just worked, and it worked quick and smooth. I can't wait to get some emus loaded on here. Sorry to gush, but I really do feel like I'm getting the Android experience that everyone else will be getting some time next year.

[G2 and Desire Z General] cminion:
firstly I only got that score after kill the majority of the services running on my phone otherwise it was about 2950.

The kernel I used has the source available on this forum and I just updated some clock speeds. The current state it is in is not suitable for handing out at the mo. but this can be fixed.

However since playing with this I think I have dome some damage to my battery as even on the stock speeds it seems to not last as long. I am happy to share the kernel if people are interested.

I repeat that this is based on all Flippy125 's work and any credit should go to him.

I am certain this will do long term damage to your phone running at such hgh voltages but I am happy to post the kernel if you are still interested.

1.97 worked fine until i ran any benchmarking apps so that was my limit 1.95 did crash occasionally but at most once a day. Phone often broker 44'C which is high. Providing you have sensible setcpu profiles it could be ok.

If the snow continues i may try 2.0 just to see what would happen

Stock Kernel at 1.4Ghz

Quadrant score 2220.

If screen is on, phone is constant 1.4Ghz.

If screen is off, it is set to lowest clock (200Mhz?)

Heavy use of phone, so phone usually only lasts one day.

Stock battery.

If you dont know what to do with this DONT USE IT.

Dont use any setting above 1.95 unless you want your phone to crash (its there for my testing) dont use anything below 240.

Guys, I'm in China now, and I suspect the price is in CHINESE dollars.

You can find the same docks at taobao (chinese ebay type site), and they sell for 200 or 300 RMB, depending on seller. WHich is 30-40 USD I believe. 200 RMB is what I will spend on mine. As for cases, being in China suddenly has its advantages: I'll go to a fabric market to have a custom case made, from real leather I expect to pay no more than 200 RMB (a leather jacket is about 600+ RMB depending on what you want and how well you can negotiate...)
[G Tablet Accessories] xjarl:
Yes, it's official price converted into U.S. dollars, not more than 45 dollars.

However, the delivery to over China no more than 12RMB, about 1.8 dollars. But delivery to the U.S. it takes about 35 dollars.

The same as the CASE..It's cost about 110RMB,real leather.

[Surround General] American Raptor:
Hello everyone,

I just got my Surround today and I absolutely love it, I went through 3 Dell Streaks running android all with touch screen problems in the last week alone, this is definitely a nice change. However, I have one problem with my phone... The sound crackels.

You know, when it hits certain notes in music, the sound gets all staticy sounding. I was just wondering if this is a common problem or if I should just take this thing back and try to get a new one. Listening to music is a big part of my experience with this phone so if anyone knows if I just have a setting incorrect or.. Anything. I'd appreciate the help.

I tried messing with the Audio app from the HTC area... I also tried other media players/phone and not even my tilt2 caused any crackle in my car. I really don't know what I could have done wrong.
[Surround General] XeNoMoRpH1030:

[Android Apps and Games] dhuangxda:
Hi,

This is my first Android app, NBLauncher. It's a simple app that let you add shortcuts to apps as buttons in the notification bar (expanded view), so you can quickly launch an app from anywhere (as long as you have access to the notification bar). I've seen similar apps on the Android market, but I haven't seen one that uses multiple buttons/apps on the same notification line. NBLauncher currently allows a maximum of 15 buttons (three lines of five). After installing, launch NBLauncher from app drawer to configure what apps you want to add to notification bar. Use the up/down arrows to rearrange the order of the buttons. Make sure to click "Done" when exiting. You'll then see the NBLauncher icon on the notification bar. Pull down the notification and you'll see the buttons to launch your app. It also saves the list of apps so you when reboot the phone, it auto-starts with your configured list.

Two minor things that I haven't figure out. Maybe you guys could help.

1. Each notification line requires it's own notification icon in the bar. So if there are three lines of buttons, there will be three separate icons. I have made only one visible and the others invisible, but I have no idea how to get rid of the invisible icons while keeping the notification. Any ideas?

2. During installation of the app, Android lists accessing phone book/contact as one of the things that the app does. But I am not touching the phone book or any contact info. How can this be? How does it determine what an app could do? Based on permission? This obviously has an negative effect of scaring people away from the app :)

Feed backs and suggestions are welcome. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] double_ofour:
can you give us a little screenshots before we give it a go?..
[Android Apps and Games] JTNiggle:
Nice, I like it, much better then App Launcher, which costs $2 right now.

I couldn't find it in the Market though, did you pull it?

Only complaint so far is that it doesn't play well with lcd density changes. I'm set at 161, so the UI is a little cramped when setting up, but the launcher in the notification tray scales perfectly and looks good. There are several market apps that don't scale well with density changes, so it's not even that big of a deal. Spare Parts, MixZing, Mint.com, and Shazam don't either, just to name a few.

Gratuitous screen shot,

Vibrant rooted, android 2.1
[Android Apps and Games] Izkata:
If minSdkVersion is not set in AndroidManifest.xml, it assumes a minimum version of 1. In the SDK version 4(ish?), a few new permissions were added, so if minSdkVersion is below that, those permissions are included whether you need them or not. Read Phone State was among these.
[Android Apps and Games] dhuangxda:
TopShelf10,

I only tested the app on Droid X (my phone) and Evo 4G. Haven't test it on Samsung Galaxy series yet. I noticed button events in the notification view behave differently on Droid X and Evo 4G, so I had to code around it. I guess it's different again on the Galaxy phones. I'll need to get my hands on a Galaxy phone :)
[Android Apps and Games] rori~:
same here...
[Android Apps and Games] Insomaniac10:
damn itttttttttttt, this app looks really good too....would you mind if i posted the APK in the Vibrant forum to see if any devs want to tinker with it and make a Galaxy S compatible version?
[Android Apps and Games] dhuangxda:
Sure. As long as you site the source and keep me updated on any findings so I can update my app accordingly.

To be more specific, I think the problem is how button events/intents are handled vs. default intent of the notification content view. I'll try to post some code when I get home.

By the way, when you click on any button in the notification view, do you see the button highlighted or the background, or both?
[Android Apps and Games] Insomaniac10:
nothing, theres no evidence of interaction, my notification menu just closes

oh and sometimes it takes the app itself a couple tries to actually open

......i hope you can get this compatible with all phones, it really stands out against the other notification shortcut apps that are on the market
[Android Apps and Games] Insomaniac10:
actually i should clarify....its normal for the Vibrant to not show hightlights or press-images in the notification menu
[Android Apps and Games] il Duce:
hi, could you tell me the benefits of using this vs. "all@bar", which I have been using for a while.
[Android Apps and Games] Insomaniac10:
it creates a condensed button layout (5 shortcut buttons per row/item slot) as opposed to cluttering your notification menu with several ongoing items (one slot per item)....plus it has a nice look to it

Thanks ya'll for trying out my app. Currently, I've only confirmed that it works on Droid X and Evo 4G. dustinb17 said it works on his HTC Incredible, but it's rooted with Evo based Rom.

No go on the HTC Vision - Cyanogen RC3. This looks really good. I really wish I could create apps, I've always wanted this style (In the notification bar) but for running apps, I think this would would be perfect for multitasking.(Anyone know if a program like that exists?) Any idea how hard it would be to make this would be to scroll horizontally? Either way, keep up the great work! Thank you for your hard work. I look forward having this on my phone.
[Android Apps and Games] dhuangxda:
Believe me, I tried implementing a horizontally scrollable buttons so they would all stay in one notification view/line. Sadly, scrollable view is not supported in notification. Maybe Gingerbread? Who knows.

[Android Apps and Games] dhuangxda:
Unfortunately, I am kinda stuck right now. I haven't been able to find a workaround to address the issue. From the posts I've read on the web, it's not clear whether clickable button is supported in Notification. I'll take any suggestions from the experts out there. I am at my wit's end. I really want this to work, but it might not be up to me... I am starting to think maybe this is why no other developers are doing it my way, cuz they've gone down that road already :(

I'll let ya'll know if there's any new development.

Thanks for your support :)
[Android Apps and Games] Insomaniac10:
i hear ya...wish i could provide relevant support
[Android Apps and Games] dustinb17:
I hate to see the development of this App end but can totally understand your frustrations. But just for selfish reasons could I ask a favor before you give up on it completely?

Im one of the lucky ones that dont have any problems and love this app ... Other than the notification Icon. Is there any way you could release a version to us with that icon either gone or at least invisible?
[Android Apps and Games] dhuangxda:
I knew you were gonna ask for that :) Yes, in time I'll try to address some of the requests for you lucky ones out there.

As for the notification icon, yes, it can be made invisible but with a caveat. Even though it's invisible, it still takes up space in the notification bar. Currently, I only show one icon even though there might be a total of three (depending how many buttons/lines you have); I made the others invisible. It's not hard to make them ALL invisible. However, you'll notice when you have other non-NBLauncher notifications appear, there might be gaps between them due to the fact that the NBLauncher icons still occupy space even though they are invisible. Hope I am not confusing you :)

Conclusion: Yes, it can be done when I get around to it.

Caveat: Invisible icons still take up notification bar space.
[Android Apps and Games] dustinb17:
That totally makes sense and I can definitely deal with that. It's a small price to pay and I appreciate it very much.

Thanks again for the work you've put into it and it has become one me my favorite apps. Glad it works for me but sorry it's a nightmare for you. Hopefully someone with more knowledge than me can help solve the issues others are having.
[Android Apps and Games] dhuangxda:
Although I still can't make the app work on all phones *sigh*, for those lucky ones that do work, I've added option to hide the NBLauncher icon from the notification bar. From the NBLauncher config screen, hit the menu key to bring up Preferences menu, and there you have it. Just make sure you click the "Done" button to exit NBLauncher after making any changes. Enjoy.
[Android Apps and Games] dustinb17:
Works perfectly, thanks for putting this together for us lucky ones.

I love this app and I hope you can figure it out for those having issues.
[Android Apps and Games] keepervq:

[Android Apps and Games] Insomaniac10:

Unfortunately, you're right. A few others from android forum had same issue, and so far there's no solution. I had high hopes for Gingerbread, but no luck; at least it didn't work on the SDK emulator. There's not much I can do now *Sigh*. Android has defeated me.
