Man, I'm using the screen protector too. The screen just fine when using single touch but it will act funny when using multi touch like play game. Mine is not the only one, my girl friend milestone 2 has this problem too. I though this is a software failure not the hardware. Just play Nova or Sandstom with the Ms 2 and you will see the problem.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OSully:
So I had these pop-up graphics from another rom or theme (I don't remember which) and I'm trying to make them have a blue border. Got that done with no problem, but the popup_bottom_bright.9.png image keeps stretching the blue line at the bottom on the power button popup screen. Anyone know how I can get this to work? I also attached the original green image. I'm not sure if there's a problem with the other ones, the bright bottom was the only problem I could see.

Thanks!

No one wants to help me? :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ACD168:
this is the themes and apps section. If you want answers you need to post in questions section, after all this is a question. I will still help you though. .9 png's are a *****. plain and simple. I personally watched a youtube video to figure them out. I suggest you do the same. a quick google search of this will help you. there is a program in the android sdk tools folder that will fix this. hope this helps.

[Captivate General] SlimJ87D:
Now that Gingerbread has been written by google for a Galaxy S phone that is very similar in specs to the Galaxy S line, will it be fully optimized?

Will we see big jumps in benchmarks like the Nexus One did when it received Froyo? Is the reason why the Nexus One and its variants received a big benchmark boost was because Android wrote Froyo for it?
[Captivate General] *** Adrian ***:
I dont think 2.3 will come to captivate....And also, would the GPS been fixed??? Im going to sell my captivate and buy some HTC....

That is ridiculous situation...we are a several months waiting for 2.2 and so far nothing...We are several months waiting for some GPS fix...and so far nothing yet....

AT&T does not care about the customers if they are confortable with the 2.1 only or not....Neither Samsung....WE ARE LOST....hurt me to say that...

But thats how i feel...IM FEEL LIKE A FOOL...:mad:

sorry, dont get me wrong....
[Captivate General] Fizzig:
I doubt with Samsung's record of slow updates and bug fixes we'll ever see an official port of Gingerbread to the Galaxy S. Custom ROM's much more likely but I guess they will be a while.

As for speed increase... Don't hold your breath. I've got the official Froyo 2.2 running on my UK Galaxy S and it boosted my Quadrant benchmark score from 800+ (Eclair) to only 900+ (Froyo) (Nexus One with Froyo 1250). Custom ROM's apparently give better scores. Problem? Samsung again... they use a different file system on the Galaxy S (and I believe the American equivalents) than the official Android one and this slows the device and causes most of the lag problems on it. Watching the Quadrant benchmark the Galaxy flies through the graphics and CPU tests and grinds to a halt when it tries to complete the write to memory test... Froyo didn't help and I doubt an official Gingerbread update would either. I'm afraid flashing an unofficial ROM is the only way to get speed. It can be risky though...
[Captivate General] modest_mandroid:
Quadrant is a poor indicator of overall performance, which is why an ext2-loopback lagfixed rom will show astronomical scores (2300+) in Quadrant - because it is essentially telling quadrant exactly what it wants to hear. The score is artificial and doesn't reflect how the device will actually perform (not to imply that the lagfixes don't make the phone more responsive or anything, simply making the point that quadrant is a poor benchmark).

The differences you'll see between 2.1 and 2.2 are an increase in processing power and battery life due to the JIT. It's a bit difficult to test this due to outside battery-eating variables (things syncing over the network in the background, quality of reception and radio power levels, etc.), so your ability to notice a difference may vary depending on your phone usage style and environment.

Also, you can use linpack to get an idea of the processing power increase. You'll notice that it doubles between 2.1->2.2. I should warn you that it's not really comparable to the Nexus One, simply because the cpu architecture is different and linpack is geared to take advantage of it - the n1's snapdragon has a 128bit simd fpu whereas the hummingbird has a 64bit fpu, so the increase in speed will show up as 4x-5x for the n1 between 2.1->2.2. Again, this does not translate into a 4x increase in real world performance. I only mentioned linpack to demonstrate the relative speed increase between stock 2.1 for the galaxy S and 2.2, and to show that the JIT is indeed boosting the processing speed.

To my understanding, 2.3 is essentially a more optimized 2.2. I doubt that the results of the optimizations will be as large as the introduction of the JIT was in 2.2, but every little bit helps - and look on the bright side, it won't be any slower than 2.2.

I don't think we'll really know how well the Nexus S roms will run on our phones or how easy they'll be to port over until we actually get our hands on an NS rom (still don't know what filesystem it uses or how big of an obstacle the filesystem will present). However, since the fundamental architecture is so similar, I don't really expect many problems and I expect the 2.3 builds to run great.

Edit: I don't expect Samsung or ATT to release 2.3 for our phones. I actually wouldn't be surprised if ATT refused a gingerbread update for our captivates, even if Samsung offered it. What I meant above was that I expect whatever custom roms we cook up based off of the NS builds to run great.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
When do we start speculating about Honeycomb?
[Captivate General] SlimJ87D:
When someone in our family (Galaxy S Line) gets it, which will definitely be the Nexus S.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
Why wait... it is all guessing anyway. I think anything we say about Honeycomb has an equally good chance at being accurate as what we say about Gingerbread.
[Captivate General] SlimJ87D:
I don't think you really understand my question.

The nexus one was a developer phone that had a snapdragon in it. Google, the creator of Android, directly engineered their software to be optimized on the device because it was their developer device.

Now that a Galaxy S phone is a developer phone, I was wondering if anyone knew anything about the software engineering side to the Nexus one to guess if google built 2.3 from the ground up for the Nexus S, or can/could heavily optimized the code for it.

Now you're question is to speculate about Honeycomb, speculate what? There's nothing to discuss about it, but my question is legit from an engineering stand point. So I'm still left wondering if this is the case or not, I wonder if there is anyone that can enlighten me.
[Captivate General] mobileseq:
Would be a nice pipe dream for an offical update.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
And you don't understand my point: No one knows. We might as well speculate about honeycomb. The Nexus S has a different momory mudule iNand not moviNand. What impact will this have? No one knows until they have phones in hand.
[Captivate General] SlimJ87D:
What about the CPU though? The memory for the Nexus One and Droid Incredible were different, but yet because they shared the same CPUs they received similar benchmark scores in that department.
[Captivate General] malicenfz:
What does it matter everyone is going to flash custom ROMS of Gingerbread when/if it ever somehow leaks for our phones.

Sent from my axura phone with Gingerbread keyboard.
[Captivate General] AdamPflug:
This is one of the things that I am optimistic about. Android 2.3 adds support for devices with large internal storage capacities - my understanding is that it was Samsung's poor attempt to hack that support into 2.1 that introduced the issues you mention above. I'm hopeful that this means 2.3 would eliminate the need for lag fixes, and that the better support for some of the cutting edge hardware in the Galaxy S Phones being built into Gingerbread will make it much easier for Samsung to push 2.3 out for our phones.
[Captivate General] Hrithan2020:
Can you elaborate? Coz AFAIK RFS has nothing to do with Samsung's attempt to make a pitiful 16 GB work as internal sd card..

From what I understand, the movinand flash which Galaxy S , when used in RFS performed horribly when doing sync operations (I think I got it from the thread ryanza posted), so, the new flash might as well be Samsung's attempt to correct that error, instead of replacing the (seemingly crap) RFS .. :mad:
[Windows Phone 7 General] WhyBe:
Right here...

Looks similar to the C & P implementation in the newer WM6.5 ROMS. In this video, it doesn't look too finger-friendly though. Hope this isn't the final implementation. Maybe they needed a better person demonstrating it?
[Windows Phone 7 General] dccorona:
I think it's just because they are trying to do it without their finger covering up what is going on. Doesn't look too bad to me. You can already highlight words (for no apparent purpose) by double tapping on them relatively easily. Then it's just a quick drag with your finger to select what you want. Makes finding your starting point pretty easily (iOS, for example, doesn't highlight words on double tap). The cursor on WP7 is also really nice, better than the magnifying glass you see on other platforms imo. All in all, it might make for the best copy and paste implementation yet.

I've been trying to backup my ROM the past few days but I keep getting an error when nandroid tries to make an image of my /cache/ partition. I tried wiping the cache, but still no luck. I looked if there was anything in it but it seems to be empty.

Has anyone else had this problem? How do I solve it? Should I backup my apps in Titanium and do a full wipe/reinstall?

Thanks in advance.

*EDIT*

This is the exact message I'm getting when it fails:

Backing up cache...
Error while making a yaffs2 image of /cache/!
[Wildfire General] jubba:
*bump*

Same here.
[Wildfire General] kevin2516:
Try wiping dalvik cache too. Or go to rom manager and flash clockwork mod again.
[Wildfire General] GigiAUT:
Tried that but it never helped. The only way I got it going was doing a full wipe and flashing everything again from scratch.
[Wildfire General] MrKancho:
I had the same problem and all I tried was unmounting the cache like 3 times and after that the backup worked again, tho it still showed the cache was mounted..

hope I could maybe help..

EDIT:

I tried to backup again and it showed the cache error.. again..

then I unmounted the cache (3 times again :D )

but no luck.. still recieved the error message..

after that I tried wiping the cache..

then it didn't even start the backup..

it gave me a "did not find boot" error or sumthin,.

well, I guess it might work sometimes with the unmount cache thing but then again it didn't work twice..

anyone have a fix for this? I cant make a nandroid backup...

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grassroots87:
Ok I've been looking for a couple days and still can't find my answer so ill go for the post. I have a Droid eris with 2.1 ota with July update. Rooted with universal eris root with cscript the two step one. Anyway. Got root access, have amon_ra recovery, setcpu installed, engtools.zip, zanfurs kernel to overlook ( which I can barly handle 604 )

Well when ever o flash s Rom I get stuck in a loop at the skateboards screen. I do a factory wipe and dalvilk wipe then flash and always gets stuck. Celebfroyo kaosfroyo and tazzfroyo. Battery is full also.

Any ideas? Did I miss anything?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deezy111:
Most of those roms you mentioned are already overclocked to 710. I think if you have a kernel set to stock or 604 you could flash a rom and then flash the kernel so your phone can handle it. Hope this helps.

[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] DougG_ATL:
The most accurate how-to for installing the Gingerbread keyboard on rooted 2.2 devices is at this link on BriefMobile. The ROM linked there has been fixed to include auto-correct. It works wonderfully on my Aria.

NOTE: Go to the Android Market and install the new Voice Search first. AppBrain will not recognize the update - go straight to the Market page and install the new version, THEN go to CWM Recovery, Nandroid backup, then flash the keyboard ROM.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] Bob889:
nice going, can't believe the keyboard from 2.3 is already out...works great
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] DougG_ATL:
It's a huge improvement, especially having common punctuation marks appear above the main QWERTY keys, and the spacing between keys. Not to mention the darker background provides better contrast, especially with low backlight settings.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] winsettr:
Also just got Fabolous's fixed version working. His version includes autocorrect, vs. the version featured on LifeHacker.com, which I couldn't even install (status 0 error message).

Also FYI, the punctuation above the keyboard was also present in the 2.2 keyboard on CyanogenMod 6.0-6.1.

*SORRY BOUT THE LATENESS ON UPDATING THIS! So 2.3 AOSP decides to come out when I take a 2 day hiatus to work on an iptv show! :X*

This is not a rom thread holding a Gingerbread 2.3 ROM!

This is a thread for us to collab on BRINGING 2.3 AOSP to the Hero after source is released.

Mission Statement:

I am creating this thread as a one stop to start progress and relay information on building the 2.3/Gingerbread AOSP source for the Hero. THIS IS NOT A ROM THREAD, but a place for DEVS to build knowledge on building the 2.3 AOSP source for the Hero and how to do it, what the roadmap is in development and what drivers are needed/fixes/etc. for it to work properly on the Hero.

Things to do:

1. Download SDK/Try 2.3 in emulator... DONE! (DAMN performance sucks in the emulator.. hope to see something better on native hardware...)

2. Download 2.3/Gingerbread source---Need to download (will today)

3. Test existing open drivers for Hero. Works/Does Not work, and what we need to do to fix what does not.

4. Stabilize

5. Create How-To's for folks to build and create dev roms for themselves.

Available test ROMS(SDK Emulator rom based : no radio access):
