[Desire HD General] emanmodnar:
Sense is pretty cool and only lags if you try to make it. I think that if all Android phones came with Cyanogen as the stock ROM then the Sense ROM would be a massive hit. Cyanogen is definitely a good choice because it's clean and fast but until i actually need my Desire HD to run faster and more efficiently i won't use it. That's why i will go sort of halfway and flash a cooked sense based ROM like Leedroid.
[Desire HD General] rosswaa:
look at what lag? my app draw runs fine using launcher pro plus, sms's all run with no lag difference than cyan, just cyan is uglier

who says sense isnt well coded? its coded for normal peole who dont want to run and say i hacked my phone now everyone else says its loads faster so it must be

fair enough benchmarks might say it but is it noticeable? no

as i say its all down to the rom dev if its laggy or not
[Desire HD General] jokies:
I have to admit I didn't try it out on desire hd but I tried it when I'm with a hero. Say, cyan is for dev and sense is for users. Whatever you get what you want.
[Desire HD General] Kalavere:
Lol, LauncherPro isn't the default launcher, so on a Sense based ROM it will be faster, I am simply pointing out that stock Sense, totally stock launcher and all, lags.

We could argue until the cows come home which is better, but I prefer the alternative that is Cyanogen. At least then I can have a totally black and white theme which is what I like. And it's only recently I have switched to ASOP previously I used a Sense based ROM on my Desire, but craved the ASOP lockscreens and dialer.
[Desire HD General] eozen81:
If we move to another ROM apart from sense, does this mean that we will be losing some features like "louder ring in the bag, flip over the phone for quite" etc... ?

Does Cyanogen ROM provide these all?
[Desire HD General] Kalavere:
You loose louder ring but flip to silence still works. You do loose quite a few of the jazzy features of Sense.
[Desire HD General] eozen81:
Is there any exact list showing sense features we will be losing? I guess that's important to know before deciding to move a different ROM, right?
[Desire HD General] Kalavere:
Not that, I know of. Sense Copy & Paste is one of them, there is no magnification window when you copy and paste on the DHD, and the louder ring, that's all I can think of off the top of my head.
[Desire HD General] rosswaa:
lol who said it had to be standard? sense comes with to much bloatware, so i remove most of it

have you tried this theme addon? http://classical-gas.blogspot.com/2010/12/jamt-htc-desire-cyanogenmod-610rc2.html

works real nice :) i have cyan set up alight atm but hopefuly not long till the ginger comes along
[Desire HD General] dr.m0x:
I am back on a sense rom. Rcmixhd since adfree and other components work correctly unlike on the other sense roms I've tried. I used to love Cyanogen on my Nexus One but the new sense is very slick indeed.

It does not lag. It does take a little longer to boot and use more memory but who cares when we have so much ram on the dhd. I don't know how the amount of room it takes can be an issue either considering we have 1.5gb rom. I still have 0.9gb free with 54 apps installed.

tbh I still love cyanogenmod but its htc locations which is keeping me on sense. Its the best android offline navigator I've tried in terms of routing here in New zealand and I love the fact I can just buy a cheap 1 month subscription for navigation in another country when I go overseas. Any other app one is forced to buy a complete package for that country at considerably larger cost.

[Desire HD General] JamesBarnes:
I really don't like the Sense launcher, I use adw, but sense has lots of little modifications that are just nice to have. Text selection, quick lookup, freaking awesome dialer, flip to speaker etc

I'm running android revolution hd, no lags, excellent battery (whole day with pretty heavy use. Needs charging every night but I can use all the phones features as much as I like and not give the battery a second thought) also 2400 in quadrant. So all in all i really rate sense.
[Desire HD General] Kalavere:
How is the battery life? Considerably better than AOSP?
[Desire HD General] dr.m0x:
I don't notice any big difference although I'm still not sure what I'm doing differently from done other cyanogen users.

[Desire HD General] Kalavere:
No i'm not sure either, I think you've got a super phone with a fission battery or something!
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] vuday_raj:
Hi

I got a Sprint HTC Touch Pro2 which is unlocked and i use it in India using the GSM feature of the phone using SIM card. The phone came with a WM6.5 OS, i decided to flash the phone with custom ROM's, here are my few queries

1. In my case where i use the phone using SIM, should i use the GSM ROM or CDMA ROM?

2. Whenever i reboot the phone, it tries to contact the provider (Sprint) for Handsfree activation, How can i turn this OFF?

3. When the phone is rebooting, i get the Sprint splash screen, can i turn this OFF?

4. The first time Hardspl was intalled (paid in a store to get it installed), he installed a Hardspl that says "Test Only ROM not for sale" when rebooting, is that normal behaviour?

Phone Details -

RHOD400 32M SS-BC

SPL - 1.00.Olinex

MicroP(LED) 0x0A

MicroP(Key) 0x04

TurboHW/TurboSW

There is some TP MFC Date (let me know if i need to provide)

Software Info

OS Version - 5.2.23544(23544.5.5.0)

Manila Version - 2.5.2.121225.0

ROM Version - 3.04.605.3 WWE

ROM Date - 02/21/2010

Radio Version -1.96.00WF

Appreciate if can suggest the correct HardSPL for Manila or Energy ROM's.

Thanks

Raj
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] sh4d0w86:
one. only use cdma roms. flashing a gsm rom would brick your phone.

two. settings --> personal --> phone --> network --> mode of operation --> gsm/umts only --> you can manually select network or allow it to automatically select.

three. easiest way... i suggest a program called bsb tweaks. found here.

four. i havent ever heard of paying for hardspl install. so unsure. though. i suppose as long as it works... no use fretting over it? else you can (re)cdma hardspl, here.

remember. only use cdma roms.

a list of a collection of cdma roms can be found here.

i also suggest task29 before you flash new roms. can be found here.

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] SDRNYC:
Which Andoid Version? GSM or CDMA

HTC TOUCH PRO 2/SPRINT

So before installing Android ROM onto my SD card, I flashed and unlocked my phone including the radio allowing it to use a SIM Card in the states.

I changed the Radio Settings To GSM.

1. Windows Mobile works fine with no issues. Phone works great.

2. When I load Android from the boot application it runs fine.

2.1 Issues: I can not get a Tmobile signal while in Android. I pick up Cingular and ATT and some other provider I've never heard of, but I can not connect to TMobile.

Wifi Works great.

I Installed the CDMA Android ROM, Will it brick if I install GSM Android ROM.

Any suggestions would be very helpful !

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I'm searching a way to build my own rom and at the same time to try porting a rom to the desire HD

for the begining, i think that i need to use dsixda kitchen and BEFORE building it, i know that i need to do some modifications like on the update-script and build.prop

what else do i need to take care of ?

i really need that someone give me some advice, help or tips

thanks in advance

i'm also searching how to set up the default home application in a custom rom

i guess that i should modify an xml file under /system/customize OR should this be done under the build.prop file ???
[Android] fotone:
Android is a free system.

But the cooks do not want to give any help to cook the rom on Desire HD.

I also asked for help but I have not received a response.

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Tokinjedi:
fast review of this case:

good, solid design. love the inside rubber lining on the back cover.

outside material really slick, it has slipped out my hands numerous times. got some nice "wear and tear" marks because of this.

coupled with good screen protector i got a brick i can throw at someones head and knock em out.

pain in the ass to take off to use game gripper.

front cover does not feel like it will last forever as the clips are thin and crappy.

8/10

the rubber/hardcase combo from case-mate for nexus one is my gold standard for cell phone cases.

hi

i would like to develope a software for winmo 6.5 with visual basic 2008. This software should count the number of call and the duration in a specific period.

Where does windows mobile store the log of calls? how can i read these informations?

Thanks in advance
[Windows Mobile Software Development] stephj:
Use the Phone API. It is defined in phone.h and present in phone.dll on your device.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb416387.aspx

Use PhoneOpenCallLog(), PhoneGetCallLogEntry() and PhoneCloseCallLog() to get the data

This is C++ code but you should be able to port it over

HANDLE LogHandle;
CALLLOGENTRY CallLog;
CallLog.cbSize=sizeof CallLog;

if((PhoneOpenCallLog(&LogHandle))==S_OK)
{
while((PhoneGetCallLogEntry(LogHandle,&CallLog))==S_OK)
{
// Processing code goes here.......
}
PhoneCloseCallLog(LogHandle);
}

Each time the PhoneGetCallLogEntry() function is called the CallLog structure is filled in with the call details. It is defined here:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb416282.aspx

The above code will present all call records latest first. You will have to decide which calls to process, as in, out, missed and failed calls are all included.

These functions are calls to unmanaged code. You will have to p-invoke them from VB.

Alternatively use the POOM interface, but that is much harder. See:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Birba:
Hi

As older backups don't restore correctly on xxjpu i'm in contact with the dev of Titanium Backup since a few days.

We are really close to the solution, but i'm currently testing his beta builds.

I think next market release should fix the problem.

I'll let you know on any progress.

Birba
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kalpik:
Yep.. Already contacted Joel with my fix.. He is working on it :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ilija.Ilija:
I have JPU rom and titanium backup is working.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Birba:
@kalpik: told him also about your fix, but betas didn't work so i had to test and send him logcats. in the latest release at least /dbdata/databases/.../shared_prefs is restored correctly, but the permissions are not set correctly. so as soon as Joel fixes everything should work.

@Ilija.Ilija: TB works, but on some apps data isn't restored to the right folder:

restoring older backups on xxjpu that store setting in /dbdata/databases/.../shared_prefs are not restored correctly
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kalpik:
The only thing I'm thinking about is that is it even worth to fix it right now? JPU is most definitely an experimental build, and Samsung might just go back to the previous arrangement of data on a newer ROM! Its just wasted work then :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Birba:
If they really go back, then it is wasted time.

But if they do not, we have already a solution for people coming from roms before jpu.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kalpik:
Thanks! I'm also in touch with him even right now.. But I'm not able to do testing as I'm at work.. Good to know you are doing that for him!

One request: If it's not too much trouble, could you also CC me in your emails to Joel? That way I might be able to contribute if I see something I can help with :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mopral:
Maybe the better solution for now is too keep both way in TB for a while...

One option to restore with the old settings

One option to restore with JPU settings
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kalpik:
Yes.. Joel plans to do this automagically, without the User having to select anything :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TrOjAnUK:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] sunwee:
thanks guys for the effort to keep tb compatible.

it'll be a waste if samsung goes back to the old firmwares though. jpu is working mighty well using rfs compared to the earlier stuff. so much so, there's hardly any need to use ext4 lagfix unless you really want to squeeze performance to the last drop.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Birba:
@kalpik: I don't know if there is any need to write him again, but if i have to, i'll put you in CC.

The test on the latest beta was successful! As this is maybe only a temporary version for xxjpu he will release it on his hompage and not publishe it on the market. Once we know that samsung keeps this strcuture in future firmwars Joel will publish it also on the market. I'll let you know once the jpu version is up.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kalpik:
Yes.. He told me you tested v5 successfully :)

[Defy General] daisydave:
Hi

I've just got an unlocked Defy and put my three uk sim in it. However when I have a signal the strength indicator has an 'R' idicating that I'm roaming. How do I set the phone to recognise three as the home network?

The Access Point name must have been taken from the sim card because that seem correct. Or do I have to tell three about the new phone so they can tie the sim card to the phone?

TIA

[Defy General] daisydave:
Forget this question. I think it was because I was switching from a Blackberry and they had to remove the blackberry addon and then add a normal internet addon. The 'R' has disappeared now.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shixxor:
hi there,

the official HTC Desire specs say it has 512mb internal memory, but mine says it has only a total of 148MB in the corresponding settings page. although i install all apps possible on the SD now i have a lack of memory... only 10MB left and i get a permanent icon in the status bar saying theres only little spacy left. and i dont have many apps installed and did a full wipe 2 weeks ago.

what can i do? did i maybe get a broken phone?

thanks in advance!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
No your phone is fine, do some searing for A2SD+ or Data2sd.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shixxor:
i have App2SD installed! but having skype and stuff which is only installable on the internal memory uses almost all the space i have. most of my apps are on the SD though.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
Not A2SD but A2SD+, this uses a ext partition instead of the froyo version.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
Correct. I agree with TheGhost1233, for the moment, it's best to use A2SD+ and not FroYo A2SD. Data2ext is still in development and isn't completely finished yet. You still may find that not 100% or app data can be placed to the SD card because of developer restrictions (not all apps will move as they need to be modified by the developer).

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ezterry:
You will need the old radio + old rom (you can keep 1.33.0013d it will prob. block the actual install but with some hackery in /cache using exploid or androot you could make it work. To get the files.

The problem from my point of view is its not exactly trivial and I don't have the same hardware.

Chances are the 1st part is 1.33.0013 like the t-mobile update, and the second part the 2.2.1 update. But maybe they have another spl for us.
