[General Questions and Answers] webkitbrowsertestid:
Hello,

I'm a newbie to graphics standards and open source libs.

I browsed web quite a lot but statements like "cairo can use OpenVG as backend" made me even more confused.

Can someone please tell in brief the meaning of below mentioned terms so that I can relate the terms to one another and the big picture can be clear.

OpenGL

OpenGL ES

OpenVG

SGL/Skia Graphics Library

Cairo

gStreamer

DShow

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] webkitbrowsertestid:
Also this statement -

"AmanithVG is an implementation of OpenVG built on top of OpenGL and OpenGL|ES"

OpenVG and OpenGL both are standards only then how can one can be built on top of another :O

Hi...

Has anyone managed to port the HTC Sense Live Wallpaper to CM6.1?

I've not seen any links on this...
[Legend Themes and Apps] previn:
Yep, basically just took the files from one of the froyo sense roms & pushed them into same directories in CM6.1 with ADB. Worked perfectly.
[Legend Themes and Apps] randy_khoo:
Ah! thank you mate...

Cheers!
[Legend Themes and Apps] stegg:
so you mean the LiveWallpapers.apk and LiveWallpapersPicker.apk from /system/app folder?

anything else?
[Legend Themes and Apps] previn:
These are the files you need & where they should go....

system/lib/libmode10Graphics.so

system/lib/libiculx.so

system/lib/libmode10_wallpapers.so

system/app/Mode10Wallpapers.apk

system/lib/libmode10.so

system/lib/libicule.so
[Legend Themes and Apps] krasenk:
I tried to push the files but the Sense LWP does not appear in the selection menu. Do you push these via adb or flash them as .ZIP ?
[Legend Themes and Apps] previn:
Through ADB, you need to be in recovery mode though as can't write to system otherwise.
[Legend Themes and Apps] stegg:
thanks previn! it works :D

i made this zip file to flash with rom manager, for everyone with CM 6.1
[Legend Themes and Apps] stegg:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] DangerMUK:
Well looks like Pocket-Lint prodded Samsung UK about Gingerbread and as usual Samsung doesn't give much away lol,

http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/37199/samsung-galaxy-s-android-update

There's the article.

I mean barring the NFC chip isnt it an identical handset ? lol

Funny PR Department guess if they shout out yes so loud might put off people buying the S
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Maddmatt:
Sounds like it's just coming from a clueless PR guy, trying to sound good without actually answering the question. Canned response for these type of questions maybe.

Pretty useless statement really.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DangerMUK:
The thing is when you read it, its not good English, doesn't look like it's come from Samsung UK but maybe they've gone back to Korea and got that answer . . .

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ming930919:
http://pocketnow.com/android/why-samsung-will-never-update-galaxy-s-to-gingerbread

well here is well thought out reason why we wont get gingerbread
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Emexrulsier:
Very few people base their phone purchase on the software so even if they put android 3.0 onto the galaxy s but had new phones with dual cores and big fat gpus in them also running 3.0 I am pretty sure the galaxy S wouldnt dint sale of the new phones.

The truth though about 2.3 is it wont really offer any advantage to the Galaxy S. The performance increases people mention would only be seen if they decided to ditch touchwiz3 and start using googles new UI API with their own skins. Google have already said a lot of the performance issues on previous android devices was caused by company added UIs thats why the developed their own "skinable" UI. All the additional features of gingerbread such as gravity, barometer sensors, NFC, multiple cameras, multiple displays, openGL enhancements etc etc all require specific hardware for such features to be utilised which ofc the Galaxy S doesn't have. On top of that it does cost the industry a lot of money to impliment, people mention that the Nexus S has 2.3 so it's easy to migrate and it could very well mean that sim free galaxy S models do indeed get an upgrade but its not gauranteed that all the carriers/operators are also willing to invest and time, money, resources it bug checking, branding (where applicable) on an old device.

I have been playing around with 2.3 for a day or so and to be honest based on my 2.1/2.2 test hardware there is little to no noticable difference.

A few changes I noticed

Battery icon now vertical :D

New Icon when text fields are highlighted showing field name (great one this)

Things like Exchange support home screen control, widgets, calendars, browser etc etc just all the same functionality and performance as 2.2

Read the link your posted Ming930919 is bull**** though because that article is purely basing the fact that people will ONLY buy a Nexus S for gingerbread and nothing else which is utter ****e.

[Captivate General] *** Adrian ***:
Guys, sorry about the noob question...I never had other ROM in my cap...and now Im going to try one of those we have here...So, can you guys tell me your opinion about the nicest ROM nowadays???:rolleyes:

And could you give me the link as well???:p

Odin file is better for me...;)

Thanks buddies...
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
Mine.

Clearly.

No bias here.

None whatsoever.
[Captivate General] fatttire:
They all have their own features.. not sure there really is a "best".

I wouldn't think in terms of ROM but core functionality.

Do you want overclocked or no overclocked? I9000 ROM, vibrant ROM, or a ATT leak Cappy ROM?

Do you want a ROM with a good community base to ask questions for help or do you not really care? If u want this go for a ROM with a high # of daily posts like axura (+1) or perception.

Also I recommend getting comfortable with clockwork over odin, it has a lower failure rate
[Captivate General] ryude:
The best rom is the one you just flashed successfully, as I see most people flashing different roms every other day. They are all pretty similar, I see Cognition/Perception as the beginner's ROM of choice and the rom most likely to satisfy you if you don't want to flash all the time.
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
Has nothing to do with ROMs and everything to do with Kernels.

The implications of this statement are blatantly false.

Like HTML and Flash, they're only oppositional if you (foolishly) choose to make them that way.
[Captivate General] xredjokerx:
Well, for a new person I think getting into kernels and modems might be a little much to intake all at once. What I think is that you should do is this:

Download Assonance, Perception, Axura, and whatever else is big and flash them one after another. Play with each for about 30 minutes and then decide what you like.

This will get you used to flashing roms too, which is important because once you pick a rom, you'll be flashing it biweekly (lol). Get used to ODIN (flashing back to stock), Download mode, ClockWorkManager (flashing a new rom) and TitaniumBackup (saving your angry birds progress through flashes =P, jk it backs up all apps and data).

For one, I like having the mobileAP tethering of Perception and the ability to toggle WCDMA/GSM (I have choppy WCDMA reception at my house)

But each rom has their own perks, you should check them all out and make a decision based on your own likes/desires. stop being lazy there is no best rom. lol
[Captivate General] skinien:
Yeah, there's not an easy answer for that question.

I would try out each ROM for 4 - 5 days and pick your favorite. I always keep my eyes on the change-logs for all of the ROMs though.

Personally, I use the ROM with the most humorous thread title.
[Captivate General] Hannigan174:
That is what stickies are for

Stop making these threads and start reading stickies.
[Captivate General] zelendel:
It is all trial and error for what works best for you. Ill give you an example. Some roms have headphone jack probs and for some that is a deal breaker but for me sense I use BT for everything I dont really need it and a rom without a working jack (phone calls) is not a big deal for me.

So in closing there is no best rom just best for you. Good luck on your journey

I deem this closed

[Nexus S General] jbg1:
So I got a mt4g my remorse ends the 19th...I got the mt4g thru t-mobile loyalty for 150 if I wanted the nexus s would they give me the same deal?
[Nexus S General] Jayrod1980:
Nope. I'm in the same boat as you. talked to retentions about that issue myself. The prob is that they put a change in the system for the transaction of the phone they are giving you to upgrade so you don't pay full price for the phone.

Since nexus is only available through best buy (third party) they can't help you. That's what retentions told me anyway. I like the mt4g but miss the extra screen real estate, and all of the ones they sent me have the washed out screen.
[Nexus S General] n1kki6:
Were you off contract when you purchased this upgrade? If so once you return your phone your account should reflect that your contract period is expired, if that is the case you should then be able to go into best buy resign for two years and get the phone for $200. I talked to best buy about this yesterday.
[Nexus S General] jbg1:
what they did was wave my old contract and started it new when i phone ordered the mt4g 2 weeks ago

jayrod yeah im missing the screen space too!
[Nexus S General] n1kki6:
If thats the case then when you return the mt4g your contract should revert to the old contract. If you were past your two years you should qualify for the $200 price.
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
Do you have to get a data plan with the Nexus S if you purchase it with a contract?

And if so, can that data plan ever be canceled later on by calling Tmobile? For example, if I wanted to get the Nexus S as a gift, but wanted to save some money. I have a line on my family plan eligible for upgrade, say I upgrade it with that line, am then forced to get a data plan, but I give the Nexus S as a gift to someone who will use their own data plan... can I cancel the data plan that I had to purchase on my line which I upgraded with?
[Nexus S General] diversificationied:
Just return the phone to T-mobile. They'll reinstate your upgrade, cancel your contract, put you on your old terms. Then simply go to best buy and reup through them.
[Nexus S General] jbg1:
It doesn't work like that, I called tmobile today, they told me to make sure with best buy because 3rd party suppliers can't see phone has been returned, I work @ bb and after shift talked to the bb mobile manager n he said the same that tmobile just puts a note on you # saying avalable for upgrade n they can't see it because tmobile doesn't update the computer...thus it can't be done so a lot of people who took advantage from remorse might not get this
[Nexus S General] diversificationied:
Why are you telling t-mobile anything about best buy?

All you have to do is tell tmobile your dissatisfied with the phone upgrade you used. Tell then you're going to wait until a better phone comes out a few months from now, and you want to go back to your old rate.

(that's what the remorse period is for).

Then simple stroll into best buy and use the upgrade your entitled to.
[Nexus S General] nxt:
That's the point, returning the phone won't AUTOMATICALLY cancel your new contract and revert back, so BB wont see the upgrade available!

Last year I upgraded to mytouch3g, returned it 20 days later then a week later closed my account. This was done at a tmobile corporate store. Tmobile charged me etf. When I called to dispute, they had to call the tmobile store and they had to look up my account at the store and confirm that I returned the phone.

If they had this much prob at a corp store, you're going to have probs returning and next day going to BB to try and upgrade to Nexus S, cuz systems aren't connected and etc.

Sent from my Nexus One
[Nexus S General] jbg1:
i told them and asked best buy to make sure i send the phone back or not, best buy said they can't do that, the upgrade will not show up for bestbuy it will only show up for tmobile...i dont want to pay 200 to cancel and 200 for the phone either
[Nexus S General] Jayrod1980:
My problem is that I got the mt4g when I wasn't eligible, I complained about my vibrant never getting accurate gps, even after exchanges, and they gave me the mt4g for a little lower than upgrade pricing. Ifi go back and return the phone I go back to my non upgrade status anyway. Retentions just gave me a sweetheart deal for the new phone.

I guess with my 100 buck best buy card, and selling my mt4g and vibrant I could get the nexus for a couple hundred. Just not sure I should go that route. The mt4g has some awesome hardware, but having the washed out screen that's too small and a tiny rom selection is driving me crazy. If my vibrant didn't have gps issues I would just keep it and never gone this route anyway.
[Nexus S General] jbg1:
thats my same issue, i complained about freezing hd2 and they gave me the mt4g for 149.99

when i asked her she said i would eligible for upgrade still if i decided to wait
[Nexus S General] diversificationied:
Sell the mytouch and pay the difference when you buy it outright. Should come out the same.
[Nexus S General] SamsungVibrant:
ps...make sure you are counting your 14 or (30 days in california) correctly. For example, the 19th of this month to the 19 of next month may be over 30 days! Got to count the actual days!
[Nexus S General] n1kki6:
YES, its as easy as returning your phone and waiting for your cantract to revert. I suppose it might take a bit longer for best buy to update your contract but using that theory I could go get an MT4G 4g through t-mobile for $200 and then go get a Nexus S at best buy for $200 because that data isn't live based on what your are saying. Hell I might as well hit up 7 best buy stores in an hour and buy all the nexus s's in the area and bootleg them because best buy has no idea about my contract status.
[Nexus S General] hawaiian.monzta:
Do then how do we go about returning a phone and getting the nexus s? I was out a contract but then got the mt4g with upgrade. I'm thinking about getting the nexus s. My remorse is up on the 26th. So would I have to return it now in order for bb to see my available upgrade? Does anyone know how long it takes for 3rd party store computers to update a contract status?

How do I uninstall cyanogenmod on a galaxy S?

I tried flashing with odin but odin got stuck, I can get in to download mode but odin will not finnish flashing it gets stuck. stuck at sbl.bin now, trying other firmware or pit files makes it stuck at other places factory.rfs for example :-P

any hints to solve this? thinking the cyanotem ext4 might have screwed it up?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Auzy:
Flash and repartition with an older Mod (such as JM1 2nd rev) + 512.pit.

Then you can reinstall a later mod.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] henke2:
thanks for your input :-)

Tried that, no matter which firmware I try to flash odin gets stuck. tried JPU, JM5, with and without repartition, with 512.pit and 803.pit. odin 1.3 and odin 1.7 :rolleyes:

I Have noticed that from the day i got this phone, 3 days after launch in the UK, the featured artist or app in the marketplace has stayed the same "the wanted" its a boy band in the uk.

Digging down to applications, the featured app has also remained the same since the day of purchase ,with its blue background shazam always comes up as the featured app.

however, if i go into music, i get an updated music artist every week.

Why do HTC Trophy's not update the featured hub backgrounds like other windows phones? The samsung omnia 7 my girlfriend has always changes to new featured items.

Mine are updating without any issues... music, games, apps, changing the background image.
