we will see new stuff with the jan update.... but i hope this update will not wipe out my email accounts....
[HD7 General] Rouz.:
Personally, i think htc should be coming up with sense apps like htc messaging.

Not with the old "slider" style though, but instead, using the wp7 panorama feature.

That would be a great integration of sense features into WP7.
[HD7 General] Jim Coleman:
Personally I like to remain manufacturer-agnostic. So even if HTC did bring out any Sense UI stuff, I wouldn't use it because it is HTC-only, and if I were to switch to, say, Samsung, it wouldn't be available. So to maintain my agnosticism, I never use manufacturer-specific stuff. Same goes for carriers - I never make use of carrier-specific services because I change carriers all the time depending on who's offering the best deal.

So personally, I'll be sticking with the "stock" WP7 experience, which I think is pretty good as-is and will only get better with time.
[HD7 General] Rouz.:
It's kinda like saying: I won't be eating at McDonalds because its bringing custom flavour to foods which i cannot have in other restaurants.

Personally, i enjoy using unique features that manufacturers bring to their products. This is what makes them unique.

WP7 may be good enough to be used on its own, but if you have an HD2, you wouldn't say the same thing about using the winmo's default (stock) experience. just my opinion though.

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is, it wouldnt hurt if htc goes beyond making calculator and love apps for wp7, and starts bringing some sense features like the htc messaging into it.
[HD7 General] xma1e:
+1 I hate big macs too.

Seriously, I'm not missing anything HTC either. Metro UI did steal a few things from the Sense UI.

I like what LG is doing with their phones and it would be good if HTC did something similar, but I''d hate to be stuck on a phone simply because I use a key app.

Hey guys,

I recently rooted my Eris and added KaosFroyo V.38 and I love it (great job!). My question is, is it possible to have round dialer buttons instead of square buttons? It's just a personal preference. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteveCheeseman:
Im currently running the axura 2.5.1 rom on my i896 and i cant get any 3g data, only edge.

I used "apn backup & restore" to restore my apn from my stock i896 rom but i still get no 3g data.

This happens with all the i9000 roms i flash. I think the only custom rom i could get a 3g on is cognition.

Does any one know how i can get 3g data working???

[Galaxy 3 General] RadioactiveToy:
I have managed to get GPS signal in less that 20 seconds in my Galaxy i5800 (original firmware I5800XWJG8), here is what I do.

CAUTION: USE this ONLY if you have a 3G data plan enabled from your provider! otherwise you provider will charge you in your monthly bill

1. Turn on mobile data (I use Quick Settings app found in Market that makes it easy to select-deselect)

2. Turn on Auto Sync Data (Settings/Accounts and Sync or more easily using Quick Settings app)

3. Turn on GPS

4. Run GPSopt app (You can find it in Market if you type in search "octy", it is the app named GPS Optimisation, download it and install it first)

5. Run your navigation app (I use nDrive)

-I pass steps 1,2 cause I have them always enabled (I makes battery last a little bit less though).

-You can pass step 3 also as you can set GPS always on without battery draining since GPS is used only when the navigation app asks for it.

-You can make easier the whole procedure if you use another app named Tasker and make a profile that automatically after you run ndrive, tasker runs gpsopt first.

Hope I helped until Samsung corrects the GPS bug.

[G Tablet Accessories] vsc:
Refer to the following thread where a person used a spray on material to create a soft touch battery door for a Nexus S. I wonder if this could be used on the rear cover for protection?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=881062
[G Tablet Accessories] orangezero:
Cool idea. Most hardware stores I've been to have it, but its not always in spray form. I wouldn't mess with the dip stuff (often used for keys, tools, etc.) I might have to pick some up myself. Comes in some different colors as well sometimes.

I've had a key on my keychain that has been dipped and after 3yrs its almost ready to come off completely. Of course, I only used it to tell them apart.
[G Tablet Accessories] orangezero:
I did it. Edit: Finally got the photos up.

I took the four screws off and removed the back panel. Used four small pieces of painters tape to cover up the screw holes, but actually let the rubber go underneath so the sides of the corners were covered and continuous as much as possible.

I put about five or six coatings on. Only bad part is that you need to wait 30+ minutes between coatings. I let it off gas a little before putting it all back together. It does stink a little, not headache inducing though, at first. After about 12hrs it just smells like rubber and isn't noticeable.

$7.50 or so at Lowe's for a can. I did this and a phone and there is still some left in it I believe.

Like the Nexus post says, it works best if there are few noncontinuous parts of the rubber to get snagged on things. This was part of the reason I removed the case.

No responsibility for messing yours up, etc. etc.
[G Tablet Accessories] rcgabriel:
This looks sweet vsc. I like my carbon fiber rear cover, but a soft rubberized grip would definitely be better.
[G Tablet Accessories] orangezero:
Just added some photos up above. I forgot to add that the back case goes on just as easy as it came off. Buttons still work, and the little door still opens correctly. It *almost* looks like it could have come this way. Its actually thin enough you can still see a slight bump from where the sticker for the serial number is (not in the pictures though, sorry). I think it looks a bit better now than having all those extra words on the back of the case. My case had already started to get rather scratched up even when I was careful.

I'll try to update on durability if it starts to look bad.

One other thing. My corners don't look the greatest because the first time I did it I let it dry with the corner tape on and then had to exacto knife the plastic and tape off once it had dried. I think it would do better if you made nice rounded tape areas, or just bought some rounded stickers or something. But definitely put them on lightly and take them off between each coat so the corners dry without the tape/stickers.

Everytime after I tango it messes up my lock screen and you don't need my password to open my phone no more. Anyone else having that problem?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dan138zig:
I don't know if it's just my feeling, but when I set the lockscreen to 5 minutes after turning the screen off, i notice the battery drain goes up about 10 mA in standby. If you don't know what I'm saying, there's a feature in JDMS build to set how time will it be after you turn off the screen before the screen is locked.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Here's a fixed 99.5% working Gingerbread ROM.

Everything works including video recording, although you can only record on low setting. High setting results in stuttery 15fps video.

Hopefully I'll be able to fix the framerate in the next version.

This is as close as it gets to stock Gingerbread. There are no extra additions like Trackball wake etc. just the stock functionality with all preinstall Gapps.

[Nexus One Android Development] dr1337:
Forgot to mention, this is based off Chris Soyar's build so you must have 35.0017 hboot in order for it to work.

There is a commit on the Android source that says you must use it on hboot 35.0017 so I figure I'd best stick to that advice.

Hey dr1337,

Thanks for sharing your work.

Does your rom include 2.3 GApps ? Or have you mixed them ?

Any info on this would be pretty much appreciated!! :-))
[Nexus One Android Development] dr1337:
It's a hybrid mix of GApps. What that means is that they're all the latest versions to this date.

Some of the GApps that shipped with the Nexus S such as Maps are outdated so I've updated them. Also the there's the new Marketplace on this ROM.

Edit - Forgot to add that all the GApps present on the ROM are from Modaco's Nexus S dump, or at least that don't conflict with the rest of the OS.

then:

adb remount

adb shell chmod 4755 system/xbin/su

adb shell reboot
[Nexus One Android Development] wdfowty:
Reading back in the thread, I remember seeing something about that. If you download it, look inside the archive and search for recovery. If you find anything, it'll probably overwrite your recovery.

Edit: T'was wrong :)

OP, if you compile from source, use the "make -j4 bacon" command, as it packages it all into an update.zip, but removes all the nasty recovery replacement files and such.

Thanks again dr1337... you rock

Getting su working

download http://bit.ly/su2361ef

extract the su binary in /system/bin to your computer

adb remount

adb push su /system/bin/su

adb shell ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su

adb shell chmod 6755 /system/bin/su

Thats it
[Nexus One Android Development] fizzle101:
another method is extract Superuser.apk from /system/app and su from /system/xbin from another Gingerbread ROM like MicroMod777 Gingerbread-Rooted-Gapps-v.10-signed

copy to your sdk tools folder and use this adb command:

adb shell stop

adb remount

adb shell rm /system/app/Superuser.apk

adb push Superuser.apk /system/app

adb push su /system/xbin

adb shell chmod 4755 system/app/Superuser.apk

adb shell chmod 4755 system/xbin/su

adb shell reboot

hope that is helpful

dr1... apps2sd?
[Nexus One Android Development] dr1337:
Let's not get too crazy with this ROM OK? Remember, that with all Gingerbread roms floating out there, they are still quite hacked up even though they come from the AOSP repo. Google did an appalling job supporting anything other than the Nexus S or Samsung Galaxy family of devices with Gingerbread. I'm still not a 100% confident using this ROM on a daily basis due to the hacked up nature of it and my concerns with its stability. Adding anything extra without an OTA ROM in my opinion could compromise the stability of the system.

My point being that this ROM is mainly for those who want a stock vanilla rom without any additional bells and whistles to compromise the stability of the system. This ROM is also meant to be used to test and "hack" main functionality of the hardware like graphics, video acceleration, camera support and network location (stuff you would find in a stock rom). If you guys want Trackball wake, Trackball colors, Torch support, App2SD...etc. I'm sure you'll find it in MicroMod's and other Gingerbread ROMs.
