THeres a generic address you put in ur billing address if ur using international card (its in the help, a Texas address)

This belongs in the Q&A section.

But to answer anyway:

- I've found the JK6 modem to be better for battery life

- Use the forum search feature for battery conditioning

- "Autostarts" app to prevent apps from auto-running after boot that don't need to.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PSP_Hacker:
lol, when I saw your post I thought it was some spam about "better life tips" and other self-improvement crap. But now I know it's about battery life.

I have this same question. When I use my phone, a few minutes of web browsing can make it go down 1-2%. With WiFi on, 3% or more. It's ridiculous. I read that doing the battery conditioning by charging completely, erasing battery stats (from CWM recovery), draining completely, charging completely again, will give you better battery life or reading. Only problem is that I have no time to do this because when my phone battery is almost dead during the conditioning process, I'll have to leave my house or do something, and I just can't let it be in that condition while I'm out.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c-brit323:
So you get more battery life with jk6 rather than jk2? Hmmm thats strange I read that jk2 was better on the battery...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scrizz:
battery life depends greatly on use too.

ROMs without wifi calling, and using a kernel like Eugene's Super_IO_Kernel, will greatly extend your battery life.

on the other hand, if you play a lot of games or have your brightness set @max, your battery will drain quickly.

also, if you are in an area with bad reception or a building with no signal, expect your battery to drain quickly.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c-brit323:
Yeah for sure. But what about modems. What are you running

[HTC Aria General] kaschenberg:
What is the best practice in charging the phone?

I find myself plugging it in a few times a day. Usually it gets down to 30-40ish % and I'll plug it in to maybe 80%.. leave my desk, then I'll plug it in again to make it fully charged by the afternoon.

Is it bad to bump charge it? As in, plugging it in at anything above 50% all the time to keep the battery level up.

Should we only fully charge it once it has reached 10% or below?

Let me know your thoughts.

[General Questions and Answers] Lonewolf64:
Hello all, I've been trying to root my Nexus 1 for a Cyanogen ROM install for the past 2 days now. However, I've been having some issues.

First, I've been the following guide to help me through the process:

wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Nexus_One:_Full_Update_Guide

Currently, I have successfully unlocked the bootloader but I'm having problems with the custom recovery image. Using Amon_Ra's Recovery v2.0.0, I'm able to tell my phone via fastboot to install it on my phone. When I put in the command:

fastboot flash recovery /path/to/recovery-RA-nexus-v2.0.0-cyan.img

I get messages that convey success but then when I try to start my phone in recovery mode it is still running the stock recovery. The same thing happens with the ClockworkMod recovery if I try to install it using the fastboot method. If I attempt to go through the ROM Manager method, I do not get asked about superuser permissions and instead I get the message:

"An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!"

Obviously I'm lacking some superuser privileges that are necessary to play with the recovery, but I do not know how else to grant myself these privileges. Obviously I cannot go ahead with flashing the radio and the ROM until this problem is solved, but I have no idea how to proceed. This is my first time rooting a phone so I'm quite new at this, but so far I have followed the instructions to the t.

I'm looking forward to some good advice, thanks!

I just came from a BestBuy store and I had the chance to play around with one that they have as display unit.

What I can tell you from the short test experience is that it is:

- Nice colors

- Very sensitive to the touch

- Best response ever, looks like it came with CyanogenMod on steroids from google hehe:D

- Soft keys are very accurate( forget about the inaccuracy from the N1 or the G2 which Im using right now)
[Windows Mobile] StefanV3:
Hi,

i recently own a HTC Mega and have cooked a WM 6.5.3 rom for it, based on WM 6.5.3 Build 23151.5.3.12. I tried to cook in another taskmanager as HTC TaskManager 2.10 because the icon in top bar isn't accessible because in WM 6.5.3 there's a clock shown on the position of the task manager.

Is there a solution to move the icon of HTC TaskManager 2.10 to another position in top bar or to the X button of Wm 6.5.3?

I know that there is a way with uTask but is there a way to "pre-configure" it, because i want to cook this into my rom.

Another way is ArkSwitch but i don't get it to work to create a oem package and cook this oem package into my rom.

Thanks

Setup utask from your phone then with TotalCommander or another regeditor export the relatives Registry keys.After that copy your new registry keys into the app.reg of the uTask cab converted to Ext.

[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
This app is no longer being updated and may cause issues on newer versions of Android. Use at your own risk!

Description

Font Changer allows you to change the font on your Android device. Some (most likely people from the HTC Desire forum section) may be familiar with an older version which required flashing an update, however these two versions don't require it (check the requirements section for more).

Basically you can put your TTF fonts in /sdcard/.fontchanger/ (location can be changed in the settings) and then you can apply a font once they have been found by the application (inside Font Changer there are more detailed instructions on how to do this). You can also set the fonts individually using the advanced mode. It works just by copying the selected font to the system partition and overwriting the current font. Backup is automatic, although occasionally it breaks resulting in the need to fix the fonts manually or with an update (usually the cause of messing with the fonts alongside with Font Changer).

Font Changer used to only have a paid version for the past few months, but with the new Market changes I have decided to add a free version. While most cancellations happen within a few minutes after purchase, not all do... and 15 minutes is just too short! Plus some people are not in a country where they are allowed to buy paid apps. Anyway, that's my reasoning.

The application should be removed from its settings to restore the default fonts and density. More information can be found on its Market page and inside the application.

Requirements

root

system write access (aka NAND unlock or S-OFF)

busybox

custom recovery (not a requirement per-se, but highly recommended in case something goes wrong)

Reviews

DroidDog

Coming Features

Fix up setting custom website for preview

Set dark/white theme

Rework UI for the font picker

Rework UI for the density changer

Need some icons for the Basic/Advanced tabs

Add more fonts to be replaced in Basic mode

Check font integrity

Shake for a random font

Really thanks for share.

Can't u upload the free .apk here? My camera doesn't work so i cant scan the QRCode. Would be nice :)

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
OK, done. Although if your signature is correct and you have a GT540, Font Changer doesn't have support for it yet as I need some information to identify the device (the person with a GT540 who was helping me has gone somewhat quiet and I haven't managed to finish it without his input).
[Android Apps and Games] DonPanda:
Lol. Allright. Good to know. "None support" does not mean "does not work for GT540", correct? I'll try it anyway so...
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
1. There are multiple rooting methods for the GT540, and some of them work with Font Changer and others don't. I'm afraid I don't have any specific information on this. If 1 works, then check out 2.

2. The GT540 uses different fonts than the default Android ones. I know which ones and already have the code in the application to make it work, however all I need is to identify the device for which I require someone with a GT540 willing to help.

Anyway, feel free to give it a try and see what will happen.
[Android Apps and Games] DonPanda:
Tried right now, works well. Looks **** cause of fail font. :)

Some informations for you: Got 2.2.1 based on CyanogenMod, Recovery 2.5.0.5.

Yeah. Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
OK, your one works because you have CM which uses default Android fonts :)

You're welcome.
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
Version 1.7.1.3 has been released, per-user request.

It is now possible to specify in the settings whether the regular font should be used to replace the clock, or whether the default clock font should be used. Some ROMs make use of the clock font, others don't, so the option may not have an effect for everyone.

[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
Hi there. It doesn't work as in when you set the font it does nothing?

If that's what happens then you could try running the app which I attached in this post and send the report which it generates by GMail, or any other method that works for you. I'm missing identification information for the GT540.

So it works fine on a Galaxy S sister device? When I tested a long time ago on my friend's Galaxy S it would cause freezes and didn't allow for the notification bar to be pulled down...

Thank you, I added those devices to the supported list. A little surprised that they all have full root since they only came out recently. On the Desire we had to wait for a while... >_<

And thanks to all those who bought from the Market to support development, it's greatly appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] SamouraiXXX:

I will look into a better way of detecting Busybox compiles which Font Changer doesn't support, but until I will have time to look at this I would recommend you to install 1.17. The installer will finish eventually, just let it do its work when you don't need to use the phone.

The new version should fix the Busybox errors, however if you have a version which is missing commands that Font Changer requires you will still be asked to install a different version.

Changes:

Improved detection of unsupported Busybox compiles (please note that I can't support versions which are missing functions that Font Changer requires)

Some people have already noticed that I've been adding some translations to Font Changer recently. These translations are done by people who wanted to help out and bring Font Changer to those who may not be so lucky to understand English. At the moment there is Russian, Polish. Bulgarian, and possibly Korean, are on their way (maybe Slovak too if I decide to dust off my mother tongue). So if anyone would like to help with adding translations in their language just let me know.

Thanks to everyone for their support.
[Android Apps and Games] kminatta:
i am receiving the "Write access..." error on my HTC Evo with the Vaelpak ROM (i had no issues with Myn's Warm 5) utilizing Fontchanger Pro and VM Heap Tool. Vaelpak comes with an older version (1.1) of the free version of Fontchanger that works without issue. i ran the first command from the post you referenced above and receive the following message from terminal, "mount: can't read '/etc/mtab': No such file or directory" when run with no space after "rw,remount /system". i receive this error when i use a space after "rw, remount /system", "mount: mounting remount on /system failed: No such file or directory exists." i am on busybox 1.17.3, and reinstalling busybox from Titanium Backup didn't help. the creator of the ROM said to let you know that the "fonts are relocated to /data/local/fonts and symlinked to the original location".
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
That's an issue with the ROM I'm afraid. You should point these 'mount' errors out to the guy that's cooking the ROM and he should fix them.

As far as the symlinking goes I'll have to think whether I would want to add support for it or not. What is the reason for symlinking the fonts? Does the HTC Evo have its NAND locked? If the NAND is unlocked then you can just use Font Changer from the Market, or OP, and it should work just fine.

And the old version of Font Changer isn't recommended by the way.
[Android Apps and Games] kminatta:
i already spoke with the guy who created the ROM, and he advised that i speak with you. i'm not sure what the deal with teh symlinking, etc. is, but he suggested that i mention it to you. thanks for your help.
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
Well, the only thing I'm sure about is that when you do 'busybox mount' and get an mtab error there is something wrong with the ROM. You can Google 'linux mtab missing' or something like that which should give some hint about the problem, but no solution apart from recovering the system.

For the symlinking, you could actually just move the symlinked fonts from /data/local/fonts into /system/fonts and then the Market version of Font Changer should run just fine.

[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
Hi all, I have a question for you Font Changer users (mainly applicable to MIUI users, if any).

I've started working on adding an advanced mode, which will allow you to change any font (not only the regular, bold, and mono) just like TypeFresh allows you to. So essentially there will be two tabs at the top in Font Changer where you will be able to switch the modes. Since these are bigger changes don't expect updates any time soon, I still have exams to get through anyway.

Question is, how many people use Font Changer on MIUI? Adding support for additional firmwares increases the complexity of what I have to do more than I would like to,. Therefore I'm asking whether there are enough people using Font Changer on MIUI for me to keep supporting it or whether I can cut the support.

Let me know your opinions :)
[Android Apps and Games] cooljwseo:
Well Done!!

Thank you for supporting Korean on your Font Changer very quickly..

And you're welcome for your special thx!!
