Doesn't anyone love me?

Nobody love me!!..... sooooo sad.... the questions above I would have really appreciated some feedback on. Especially when I have pink eye!! :eek: I hate pink-eye (braaiinnnss)!

I messaged FFBoy, cuz man, it sure would be nice to understand a little bit more about his ROMs and the reason why his ROMs operate the SD Card better. Braiinnss... you know... maybe the reason why people don't respond to my messages it because they believe that they will get pink eye too? :rolleyes: I am just here to assure you that you won't get pink eye... I promise! But seriously ... I have pink-eye... damn itchy red eye-poop-eyes. Anyhoo..

Lahboo ahndoe pea-zoo, (as they say in Japan),

[TG01 General] olyloh6696:
Hi Kili, i use ffboys roms, and i can install almost any virtual keyboard. he uses different drivers for his. unfortunately, he appears to have left the forum, he doesnt update his roms anymore :( in Miros rom7, try installing your CE-Star onthat and see how it goes. Miro used a different HTC EzInput in that, perhaps it may make a change :)
[TG01 General] Kilihari:
I have a friend... Proof!!!

Hello Everyone,

:D I would like to make an announcement, after 4 years of XDA-Developers, I have made a friend, here is proof! :D

Thank you very much Olyloh6696, you’re the best, and you answered some of my questions too! One of my major issues is that I cannot use Garmin Mobile XT with other roms other than Windows Mobile 6.5.2 or earlier. With 6.5.3 or above, it has the bigger start menu and things on the screen are not aligned properly. It is really quite sad that I am such a perfectionist, I really don't like that 1/2 millimeter of blank space at the top of the screen. I think that I am also going to use FFBoy's ROM as well, although I will need to re-install everything and Swype may not work as well as I like but that is the price ya pay for not cooking things yerself. FFBoy's ROMs and Kevin P. White's ROMs are special I tell ya. I really love and appreciate all of MIRO's, but if I cannot add Japanese support to a ROM, than I can't even begin to look at it. I thought with all of my cool h4xx0Rn3zz that I could add a virtual keyboard if I really tried to MIRO's but, I couldn't, then I tried to bribe people to help me to fix it, that didn't work either, I even tried to convince MIRO himself to help me out, but ehheheheeh he is a busy guy and AND, I don't want to piss him off, he has done so much great work for this community and has NEVER asked for a donation in any way. I tell ya, I really appreciate MIRO and everything he has done for the TG01 community. His work is almost unprecedented, same with Cedesmith, Ffboy, my favorite Kevin P. White, and all the others who I have not mentioned... oh yeah, November dood..

Best regardz,

-Kili.

PS: I wish Kevin P. White would make just one more 6.5 ROM and add the SD card driver that FFBoy uses in his ROMs. That would be perfect, absolutely perfect.
[TG01 General] olyloh6696:
Your welcome :) thanks for your help too, regarding my new batteries! yes i agree with you too about WM 6.5.3. personally i don't use 6.5.3. i find it very slow, unstable and battery life is not as well optimized. I strongly recommend Ffboys roms or kevinpwhite too. I like Miros roms s

too. If you are going to choose between a ROM, i recommend the ROM in my sig WM6.5(if you like sense) it is very fast has very good battery optimization, good amount of free RAM and ROM to suit your needs. It is about 95% bug free (only a few htc stuff don't work.)

(if you aregoing to try this ROM, use build 21808. the newer version has too many bugs and sms doesnt work!)

altternatively, if you want to use a clean ROM, i recommend FFBOYS WM6.5 Clean build.

FFBOY also has a good wm6.1 ROM built with all the latest drivers.

i think if you try ffboys ROM, your gps should work fine, and your SD Card :D

i hope everything works outfor you :)
[TG01 General] drupad2drupad:
Hi Kili!

I am presuming, you were not able to resolve the issue with CE Keyboard! I tried to google CE keyboard cab, but can't find it! So unable to install this keyboard on my rom to try it out. Let me know if you find it.

Regarding SD card drivers - I have never faced any issues with any roms and my SD card! What sort of driver issues exactly are they? (noob, yes that's me!) May be I might have faced these issues, but not realized them? :s

In terms of radios - I have found 1600,1700 to be good ones and 1700 to be the best for the UK, obviously for you it might change depending upon what sort of area you might wander into! ;)
[TG01 General] Kilihari:
Info about CE-Star and FFBoy

Oh, sorry, eheheh, it is not CE keyboard cab, it is CE-Star Japanese IME, CE-Star's Trail can be installed for 15 days, so whoever wants to help me out can do so by downloading the program either from CE-Star's website located here http://www.ce-star.com/products/CE-Star.php, or you can directly download the newest version of CE-Star from MegaUpload http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9FTAZUE1.

The problem that I have with the SD Card is this. When I install programs and applications to the SD Card, then sometimes those items show up as blank icons in my start menu. If you click on one of those blank icons, then your phone will hang for a few minutes and then give you an error message after. Using FFBoy's ROMs I never experience this issue, because he uses a different SD Card driver from a nand backup of an engineering tg01. Too bad he has disappeared... where did he go? I hope he is ok!

-Kili. :D

PS: Thanks for always trying to help my friend!
[TG01 General] drupad2drupad:
Ah, that problem - I have with all SENSE roms for few apps that I install via market place! I din't figure it was something to do with drivers as all these apps I install are on device memory! Never faced issue specific with icons in start menu in miROMs. However, to be honest, I always tend to replace my start menu so never see this ugly start menu for issues like that !

OK, now I know where I was doing something wrong for CE THING! I am on the case, Kili, gimme few days/hours (if you are lucky!) :D

ps: I am going to count all your posts and tell you how many of them you have definitely 'edited' hahahaha! There is hardly a single post that is 'non-edited'. I think you fall in the category of 'perfectionist' may be? ;)
[TG01 General] bojan6:
If you want to uninstall any cab as keyboard or any other and you can't do it from program manager. So you can do this.

1.Restart installation and before get to calibration screen plug your usb cable and synchronized your phone with mobile device center.

2. Then delete all cabs you don't want.

3. Continue with installation.

4. That's it all.

p.p I think there was a post about how to do that just look little bit around the forum. There are more posts just I am lazy to find it now :0P

You can install and uninstall everything you want.

[General Topics] Ruud Westerhout:
Hi all,

I am using my Touch Pro 2 for more then a Year now and I come to the conclusion that I am sick of upgrading while not using the phone for more then the basics anyway.

-I use my phone as phone, for synchronizig with our exchange server, browsing (but seldom), alarm (SPB Time) and watching the daily :( traffic queues around Moscow.

-Internet Sharing is not used often but MUST be working in case of need

-Gimmicks like SPB Weather, SPB Backup, SPB Wifi Monitor, Games, Resco Explorer, Resco Picture Viewer etc. are nice, but not often used.

What is the next phone I should be going to :

-Android's HTC Desire HD

-WM7's HTC HD7

-Android's HTC Desire Z (to keep the keyboard)

I'd like speed, but stability (never loose a call anymore) is more important for me. I am willing to part with the gimmicks and hoping to part with flashing to cooked rom's.

Any input to help me choose the right direction is highly appreciated.

Ruud
[General Topics] Diamond_dawg:
Desire HD or HD7 on your choice since one is windows and other Android
[General Topics] Ruud Westerhout:
Hi Diamond dawg,

thanks. I know the big difference. I also know that none of these two is WM6.5. As said I'd like to go for a phone who does the basics and does them well, not minding having less functionality then I have now.

Any plus or minusses on any of them ?

Regards,

Ruud

If you are coming form a large tradition of real keyboard devices you may find not so comfortable the virtual kb´s, I find it hard to get used to my Leo even after 6 months with it and still miss a kb!!

Said that if you don´t mind to have Android only, your best shot by now will be Desire Z or wait a bit for the Touch Pro 7.
[General Topics] Ruud Westerhout:
Hi orb3000,

as You correctly saw on my signature, I have some experience with real keyboard devices after I had some iPaq's with only on screen keyboard. So yes, I have a hard time deciding going the on screen keyboard way. Some of my colleagues are using iPhone and claim that they have no problem, but I am not sure.

I am writing a lot of mails per day, not so many sms's, but still each mail is text.

And I am still unsure if all that I need from a phone will be delivered by Android. Sync seems to be possible, but sync through GPRS or 3G will have to be purchased. Same for office file editing.

Guess I still have to do some more research.

Thanks again,

Ruud

No prob mate, please let us know what you finally decided:)
[General Topics] Diamond_dawg:
Go for windows then, as Windows is more business orientated, BTW dont wait on the touch pro7, reason being its CDMA not GSM
[General Topics] orb3000:
According to gsmarena both models will arrive: GSM and CDMA

[General Topics] Ruud Westerhout:
My little research is telling me that all these WM7 phones do not have a card-slot. I strongly dislike that idea. I am using the cardslot atm for creating backups (yeah I know, WM6.5) so if the phone would break I am able to do a restore.

I have no experience with Android, do not know if it has a backup function at all (bu guess so), but I would surely not go for a phone where I won't be able to do a backup, not even in the future.

So WM7 is off for now.

Leaving the DHD and the DZ in the race.

DZ is thicker, but has a keyboard, a little slower and I do not like what I read about the keyboard.

DHD is probably more to my taste concerning form. I am told that living without a keyboard is possible. Choice, choice, aaah....

By the way, i am not seeing any stylus on these phones anymore, also no mentioning about a reset "whole", are these not available anymore ?
[General Topics] FL5:
Okay, the first thing you need to understand about WP7 is that it is not 6.5, and you need to stop thinking like a 6.5 user when you consider WP7.

WP7 is built around syncing data to your associated windows live account and to your PC through the zune client. It does all of this silently, like a ninja, with basically no effort past initial setup. I've got mine set up to sync everything automatically over wifi, which it does all by itself when I plug it in to charge right before I go to bed.

Further, for things like pictures, you don't even have to wait until you get home. It has the option from within the camera to send pictures straight to the free 25 gig skydrive that comes with your windows live account.

Have you seen those "To the Cloud!" commercials? Been wondering what that was all about? This is it.

Backups are *not* a concern.

Of course, that doesn't change that you can't use a WP7 device as a storage drive. That does suck, and is something that I miss about 6.5. Honestly, going through all of the crap that I had on my storage card from my Tilt2, anything that wouldn't sync through zune was a massive conglomeration of backup and hacking files for the phone, which I no longer need at all. However, just having the option to use it as portable mass storage was nice, in theory.
[General Topics] Diamond_dawg:
If i had the money i would have gone for the DHD, Z is not that great, i would stick to a touch pro2 then get that. also Touch pro2 has a resistive touch screen which means you need a stylus, Android and WP7 have capacitive meaning you can use your finger
[General Topics] Ruud Westerhout:
I am tempted to the DHD as well. I do not hear that great info about the DZ keyboard. I am thinking "bigger screen, better for my eyes", "bigger screen means bigger keyboard", "thinner".

Thanks for the info about the stylus !!

Ruud
[General Topics] Ruud Westerhout:
Just to keep You informed.

Took a DHD yesterday, VERY nice. No problems except the 'me not knowing Andriod', but that is something I hope to cope with in time.

Very nice device.

Thanks all for helping comments, highly appreciated.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WarBird87:
i have linked all my contacts from my facebook with there numbers in my phone book, but only a few of my friends default pictures show up as there contact picture... is there any way to get all of there default pictures to be there contact picture? i cant for the life of me figure out why only a few friends pics are there any no one elses... any help?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] equi_design:
I would guess it has to do with the difference in naming conventions between your phone and facebook. For instance someone may be John A. Smith on your phone's contacts, and John Smith on Facebook. That seems to be what happened when I synced mine anyhow.

I haven't looked into manually syncing up contacts, but it *may* be possible, or maybe not. In any case, this was my experience and what I assumed happened to make some pictures pull over and others not.

Hope it helps a bit!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WarBird87:
that could be, but even the facebook friends i have that i dont have in my phone book dont have pictures... and the ones that i had in my phone book i linked to there facebook to its one contact... its really not a big deal but i just wanted to know if there was any specific way i could possiby get all there pictures to go to my contact list.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amorek13:
before joining them together you have to make one of the contacts as default then join and default one will be the first one including the picture
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dsmithjr:
You have to pick which contact picture you want to use. The default will be the contact's GMail image. If the contact doesn't have a GMail image, it will use the FB by default. To change the image, go to contact, edit contact, and scroll down to the contact's FB information, touch the FB picture and select "Use this image". From there on out, your contact picture will always be his/her FB image.

[Gen8 Android Development] supagforce:
For Archos 101/70 etc

here is the link now lets get to work ;)

http://www.archos.com/support/download/software/sources/gen8-gpl-froyo.tgz
[Gen8 Android Development] qipengart:
Custom ROMs like HTC Sense builds and Motoblur and Cyanogenmod should be more straightforward now.
[Gen8 Android Development] Hexidecimal:
Root access and custom recovery are steps 1 and 2. Then that can happen. Hopefully Root isn't far away.
[Gen8 Android Development] supagforce:
Fingers crossed because the froyo release archos delivered was a BIG disappointment for many..
[Gen8 Android Development] ardatdat:
Waiting for root and recovery.

Then, we can flash custom rom and kernel to the Archos tablet.

Really disappointed on the speed. At the beginning, I think 1G cpu should be really fast .... but now @ froyo, the speed is really slower than my Nexus one (very very much slower...)

Especially when doing multiple web-page browsing and heavy network loading, my Archos 70 lag lag lag all the time....

Hope Archos will release a fix that optimize the power of the machine very soon.
[Gen8 Android Development] ravula:
Archos downclocked it to 800Mhz with 2.2 release.
[Gen8 Android Development] ardatdat:
While you are correct, I think the reason is not only limited to 800Mhz.

I set my Nexus One to 806Mhz and still find out the response and speed are much higher than my Archos 70 running at full speed (setcpu to 1000Mhz)

There must be something wrong in the firmware and the wifi driver that is not optimized such that the machine looks generally much much slower than any other android systems running at the same frequency.
[Gen8 Android Development] fotoingo:
Yes, 2.2.1 on Archos 70 s***s

+1

My Milestone downclocked to 250 mhz is faster than my Archos 70 at 800 or 1000 mhz.... :(
[Gen8 Android Development] hahayoyoy:
Root access will complete the froyo update
[Gen8 Android Development] mothy:
Yeah but your nexus one also has double the memory, and it seems that the JIT doesnt work the same on the Archos 2.2 build , quadrant and linpack scores are pretty much the same from 2.1 to 2.2, where as on every phone 2.2 double or sometimes triple the linpack scores.
[Gen8 Android Development] nam265:
The problem with Archos 70 is the screen size and less RAM

The nexus one has a much smaller resolution for the CPU to draw while it has double the amount of RAM

End of story.

**Notice there's no GPU acceleration in Android UI even at 2.3. Wait till Honeycomb for that.
[Gen8 Android Development] czesiu:
suprise, resolution is the same ;)

should not be so slow und unstable with 256RAM
[Gen8 Android Development] nam265:
oh my, i didn't know the N1 packed that many pixels...

sorry about the bad inform.

Then it's the CPU: Cortex A8 vs Snapdragon

and : 256MB vs 512MB of ram

but since both CPU clocked at 1GHz, most likely it's the ram that's not sufficient.

What would help is the ability to disable Multitask in apps except selective ones by user.

I guess Apple was RIGHT when they choose to not implement MULTITASK in the earlier iPhones. These also have limited RAM, only 128MB... leaving only 40MB after iOS boot up.

I'd be happy with my Archos with minimum Multitasking. Just music apps get multitask.

(I use Auto Memory Manager to auto kill apps when my memory hits certain level)
[Gen8 Android Development] Dreetje:
Guys, is it possible to speed up the tablet? The new rom works good, but sometimes it hangs a lot.. So is it possible too disable memory-eating processes??
[Gen8 Android Development] TempestDK:
Well You can use a task killer app to keep memory clear if you want. There are also several threads on Archosfans.com's forums about using z4root (only temp root at the moment) and the SetCPU to speed up the CPU to 1Ghz, and raise the min. clock value too.

I have mine on min. 800 and max. 1000 Mhz ... except when screen is off. Feels quite smooth, though when memory is full, it still gets a bit laggy.
[Gen8 Android Development] kenyu73:
I read somewhere that they have JIT disabled too.... dont quote me, but I read it from a thread that referenced another thread that said this other guy knew it was disabled...

I did read it somewhere, but I don't know if its true.
[Gen8 Android Development] blazingwolf:
If the build.prop is any indication then it is not enabled. There is no command there to enable JIT like is on my other devices that have 2.2.
[Gen8 Android Development] kenyu73:
Interesting. If JIT is disable, then we're loosing a lot of performance just because of that. That and the under clocked 800 is a double kill.

Archos is rushing to put our a patch soon from what I've heard. The patch is suppose to include Flash and the JIT enabled. If this is the case, then the patch will do wonders for performance.
[Gen8 Android Development] blazingwolf:
This will be nice if true. I just hope they don't rush like they did with the first 2.2. I would rather wait a little bit to have more things working correctly.
[Gen8 Android Development] OminousE:
If JIT was disabled on this build it would explain a lot. I had my A70 with 1.0.84 for day or two and it worked "faster" than with this froyo update. I'm no expert but... Archos was under lot of pressure to deliver 2.2 on Gen8 so they probably rushed it. I was gonna wait for better firmware of 2.2 but I didn't want to install all apps and then reinstall from scratch on 2.2. They are making these firmwares every 2-4 weeks so soon we will probably see another update. cajl, charbax any news on this?

Charbax is probably busy at LeWeb :)
