it is worth it i luvd it, but not on my G2, i mean i use the keyboard most of the time and the swype is just easier. As long as you have the G2 i wouldn't invest in the better keyboard but thats just me

I second the recommendation of smart keyboard pro. Has a little more features than better keyboard (yes I play with both) and absolutely love the suggestions on physical keyboard.

I promise you, Ultra Keyboard is the one to have. I've tried Smart and Better Keyboard already and I always find myself reverting back to Ultra. I have the portrait set to Swype and landscape set to Ultra.

from the looks of things there may only be one or two towers in the Oxnard/ElRio/Ventura area.

From what research I have done, sprint just has line cards in the towers and all towers in So Cal are owned and maintined by Clearwire. It appears that Clearwire has also cut back on the roll out of 4g. Oxnard tower maybe the only tower in Ventura county to get 4g for a period of time till clearwire and sprint can work out all the details.

Originally posted on the general board, but may better fit here...

I will be getting one of these in about two weeks. I had to actually pick up my Christmas from my parents and then sadly hand it to them so that they could make me wait...

So, my question to the forum is this... What are the necessary flash(es) to get this going right away. Based on what I've read, I fully intend to do next to nothing with this before flashing away the crappy TnT stuff. Just trying to get an idea of what all should be done... I've read about the Tegra drivers, some custom ROMs out there, is there is a very simple -- 1. this 2. that 3. other

I've been anxiously following the work on the Vega work, it looks very promising. I'm not necessarily looking for instructions on how to flash; I'm fairly comfortable and haven't owned an Android phone that I didn't like to mod. Just looking to pull together some various topics into a "How to make this sweet right away" list.

Thanks for all the help!

[ed] Maybe rephrase the question... If you folks "in the know" got a new one out of the box, what would you do (and in what order if there are dependencies) to make this a nice, stable, quick machine? Thanks again!!

My plan is to have everything on a micro-SD all ready to go as I travel to my parents so I can open it and start fixing :)
[G Tablet Android Development] prscott1:
First thing is to setup your google account so that you have access to the google cloud (calendar, contacts, gmail, and market amongst many other things in the cloud).

Second thing I would do is install clockwork recovery.

Third thing is install rom of choice. they are all good options.

:D

Edit: be aware that this pad has "built in" sdcard so if your micro sd is setup and ready to go you will have to tweak command in recovery folder when flashing clockwork recovery or copy from your micro to the pad's sdcard.
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
Keep reading the forums - a lot could happen in 2 weeks - TnT Lite 3.0.0 will most likely be out, the Vegan build will hopefully be more stable, and maybe we'll even be lucky enough to have a Gingerbread build floating around.

I looked for 2 months trying to find the answer to this. For anyone with the same problem, if you get the dreaded "Google sync is unavailable, it will be back shortly." here's the fix.

1. Backup your contacts to a .vcf file using the export function

2. Delete all google contacts on your phone

3. Go to settings - applications - manage applications - Contacts Manager - clear all data

4. Re-sync using settings - accounts - sync now

Worked beautifully for me.

Any taskkiller apps should not be used on Froyo on a phone with enough RAM to easily handle the in-memory apps.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
Froyo is a big boy compared to its younger siblings and can take care of apps itself. 99% of the time, it's opening something in the background because it thinks you're going to be using it soon, or because you have a widget for that app on your home screen.

So for those like me who purchased a virgin mobile legend we won't get it. Not sure what to do then.

Although it is a virgin phone, all I did to it was unlock it to use with Rogers. What should I do?
[Legend General] nolook:
i have a virgin legend too so am in the same boat...not really surprised that virgin is not coming out with the update - welcome to canada

i really want to flash the unbranded froyo rom that came out today but unfortunately it doesnt look like its possible now...

until we can change our cid's or have a resigned ROM with our cid (BM___001) we would have to root and go with cyanogen 6.1 or another custom rom (not my 1st choice)..

if anyone has a workaround please help us out...thanks in advance
[Legend General] brad2332:
Well I wouldn't mind trying a few ROM's, but I'm a complete join with this stuff. I suppose I need to learn now...
[Legend General] Lanpirate:
I bought a Legend from Virgin mobile in August. I became tired of their games and recently purchased a sim card from Bell and put it in the Legend. Guess what? It worked no problem. I can tell you I never unlocked my phone. The Virgin Legend did not have any Virgin mobile software or wigets in them. The only place I saw the word Virgin mobile, was in the network operators list, (mobile network settings), and in network operator name,(about phone, settings). These changed from Virgin, to Bell when I put the Bell sim in. I am now wondering if my phone is still branded to Virgin. If it is not, I would suggest to the OP that you terminate your account with Virgin on the basis that they ended your upgrade path, then take your phone over to Bell, or maybe even Rogers. that said, how do we know that rogers would care to license an OTA upgrade for a phone they never sold? At least Bell sold the phone for a few months.
[Legend General] bitbitbit:
I got my phone from Virgin as well and I am using the modaco stock froyo rom. It is basically stock except it's rooted. The experience will be exactly the same (unlike using other custom roms) Trying to make the new ruu work on a Virgin phone is probably not gonna be much simpler than rooting, so you may as well go the rooting route.
[Legend General] nolook:
so the modaco stock froyo rom is based on the htc unbranded rom that was released today? do you have a link?

you realize bell=virgin right? bell discontinued the legend so you wont see an update from them either...
[Legend General] Lanpirate:
Not so my friend. Check out post #14

http://mobilesyrup.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3928
[Legend General] redarmyrider:
I figured they (virgin or bell) would either do it really late or not at all. So I debranded it, but got the same error as in the other threads during the upgrade.

Then I decided to try CM 6.1, and the only thing i regret is not trying it sooner. Never going back to sense again, CM is cleaner, faster, with lots more options.
[Legend General] bitbitbit:
It's based on the vodafone rom that came out couple weeks ago but there is nothing about vodafone in it (no logo nor junk app). It should be identical to the one that came out today (at least from the end-user point of view anyway)

Here is the link:

[Legend General] EP2008:
You guys really need to stop emailing unknowledgable "support staff" and wait for official announcements like this one from the Virgin Mobile Canada twitter feed:

"android update! we'll be offering android 2.2 froyo update for htc legend in mid-january. stay tuned for details."

Looks like official Froyo for our Legends after all! :D

Yeah, I couldn't wait either and put Cyanogenmod on my Legend. My wife will be getting the Virgin update when it's available :p
[Legend General] MikaelG:
Hey guys!

Just to be sure, is Virgin Mobile software version the same as the Bell one?

If so, that means if Virgin get the update, us with a Bell phone will get it to?
[Legend General] Asovse1:
Virgin announced the Vibrant's update, and it was rolled out to Virgin, Bell and Sasktel so I assume so yes.
[Captivate General] skadamat:
Hey guys,

I recently got a Captivate (well, 1 month ago) and 2 phones ago I had a HTC Tilt and I was definitely a flashaholic then ROM-wise.

With my Captivate, even now, I probably change ROMs every other day. I like trying different things out and hate just having one ROM at all time.

But I know when I first started out, I had no idea which ROM to pick..

ERGO

I am thinking of doing Video Reviews of ROMs. Initially once a week and then if people show support probably more often than that. I will try my best to be neutral and unbiased, as I honestly have no preference for ROMs either, I just flash new stuff and try different things out.

I'll be highlighting the following for each ROM I flash & review:

-Battery Life

-GPS accuracy & speed

[those 2 are probably my most important personally]

-CPU & GPU Speed (LinPack, Quadrant, etc)

-Internet Up/Down Speed (SpeedTest)

-Unique features

-Major issues / crashes / major bugs / etc

I will try my best to be as subjective as possible as I do not want to discourage people from developing ROMs but instead the opposite.

Please let me know what you think, if you have any suggestions, etc.

If I feel like I have the approval of the XDA community I will start a YouTube channel ASAP!

Thanks

skadamat
[Captivate General] Lancez:
just go right ahead :)

run_second.sh

i get errors when i attempt to run your run_second

though for the life of me... i can't figure out what's wrong with it?
[Flipside General] jonsjava:
What error do you get?
[Flipside General] rignfool:
on all 4 of the cp commands... i get a return of

cp: (destination directory): Invalid argument

EDIT: tried the run.sh script... got an invalid file/folder error on the mount... on one of the cp's... and on the chmod of the same

EDIT: i manually edited the 2 files in the system directory using notepad++ and droid explorer...

couldn't find the 2 databases anywhere on the phone? hidden?
[Flipside General] jonsjava:
Odd. I did this:

ls /data/data/com.motorola.android.providers.settings/databases

and I get this back:

settings.db

The only time I cannot do that is if I don't have super user.

DOH! just realized the issue. once you type "SU", go to your phone, and tell it to allow application "unknown" super user.

Forgot about that part.
[Flipside General] rignfool:
well... here's one for you then... i have nothing in my /data/ directory...

never did...

EDIT: wait... droid explorer lied to me... now if i could just get into that file... i could hard change them without having to deal with all the scripting

[Flipside General] jonsjava:
that sounds like you don't have super user, or busybox isn't installed.
[Flipside General] rignfool:
i have super user access... i used z4root... this also installs busybox... or so i'm told...
[Flipside General] jonsjava:
That does not install busybox. As stated in my how-to, you will need to either download busybox from the market, or get it from the web.
[Flipside General] jonsjava:
I know it says it does, but I didn't have busybox features until I installed it manually myself.
[Flipside General] rignfool:
root explorer FTW

so... after using root explorer to manually edit the mkitso files... and copy the databases from the /ab/ directory....

i made it work...
[Flipside General] xalito19:
Hallo there. Please I would appreciate if you can help me. When you say:

1.Look for the one that says "/system". Mine says "/dev/block/mtdblock7"

- Mine says the same too, is that right? Could it be different? Why sould we care where it says 'system'?

2.'type this in (changing the /dev/ as needed)':

-When you say 'as needed' that means changing the /dev/ is not neccesary? What does ir depends? If it's neccesary, what should I type instead of /dev/?

3. 'Code:

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock7 /system'

-Must that line be typed exactly as it's shown? I've done so and after running the commands:

cd /sdcard/

sh run.sh

-This error message appears:

No such file or directory

I've rooted with z4. I've already installed BusyBox from the market, altought I can see it's not an app that appears like the others: I've just got an Icon named 'busyBox Installer' and after all it says 'busybox is successfully installed'.

Please excuse my bad english and thank you very much in advance for your help
[Flipside General] jonsjava:
1. I wrote it that way just in case it was different anywhere else. It shouldn't be.

2. when I said "change /dev/..." It was in reference to 1. above

If /system is /dev/block/mtdblock7 as listed, you don't need to change it.

If /system is /dev/block/mtdblock21 (example), you would need to change my command to read:

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock21 /system

That's what I mean when I said change /dev as needed. Seeing how yours is the same as mine, that is not necessary.

3. the command to mount /system will not affect the sdcard. Make sure the /sdcard isn't mounted on your computer. In windows, look in "My Computer", or your languages equivelant, and if you see the phone there, right click and tell it to unmount. Wait a few seconds for the phone to access the SD card, and try again.
[Flipside General] kaijura:
so, I too have problems running run.sh

I tried both the one in the original post and the typo fix in the other post. Both didn't work. I get file not found errors.

Yeah, I have z4root done and busybox installed no problem.

For some reason it's not seeing the files when I run run.sh.

Here's a copy paste just to prove what I am seeing:

Unable to chmod /system/etc/motorola/com.android.providers.settings/secure.mkitso

: No such file or directory

Unable to chmod /system/etc/motorola/com.android.providers.settings/system.mkitso

: No such file or directory

I verified that my sdcard has /ab/ folder copied over, and all the subfolders and files from the original archive are moved over.

What gives?
