Dude this is awesome! I love the notification bar (transparency, GPS/wifi/etc icons, black, signal & battle icons), and the font, and the way the texting looks (even though I only use Google voice) and the search bar, and stars and checkmarks, and loading icon.

A couple issues I have with it though:

+When you hit the menu button, its impossible to read the black text on the black background the text should be white or grey I think

+ the battery meter isn't very accurate (according to "battery status"). I would love if the battery could be more accurate, because the app I have right now has almost the same icon for telling how full the batt is (only yours looks way cooler, and its on the other side of the notif bar, which I like)

+Then the last thing is this font, which I think there's something I can do to fix. I like the font on my keyboard and in menus and stuff, but I don't really want it on every webpage and text. I use dolphin browser, you know what I could do?

Last thing, is it possible to make Google voice look like the normal texting app, or different in any way? I'm not a huge fan if the way it is now.

Overall I really like it, and I'm keeping it : ) thanks!

Trying this out on my Super Clean .3 rom with voodoo kernel.
[Samsung Mesmerize] sageDieu:
Can confirm that this works and is sexy; I agree with the three gripes above though. Can't read the menu buttons, battery isn't perfect, and the font is a bit annoying. If possible the status bar might look a little better with a slight gradient, though that might just be the wallpaper or whatever. Overall, this is a good theme.
[Samsung Mesmerize] sageDieu:
-herpderp-
[Samsung Mesmerize] co6alt:
A couple more spots I've noticed the font is a hard color...

-android keyboard, white squares appear above the letters you press with no letters in them.

-on notification bar, most apps have white text and is a bit difficult to read on grey background.

-theres another one that I forgot where now....

And since I flashed this my YouTube isn't working, and I can't download from mediafire.... haha I think that might be a fluke, but Its weird: s
[Samsung Mesmerize] sageDieu:
@co6alt: I agree with you on font things, need some work. My YouTube app appears to be working fine, I have the latest version of it and it has no issues.... and I just confirmed that downloading from mediafire works for me.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LBCaptivate:
What is the easiest way to delete all my phone contacts? Do I need to do a master reset? I exported my contacts to the SD card and then like a dumb a.........s I clicked on the file on the SD card and now all my contacts are messed up. I have already backed up my contacts using Android Manager. Now I want to restore them but I need to delete them all from the phone first so I don't get all duplicates. My phone is stock and not rooted.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
Try this, it should work on non-rooted phone since we won't be installing or backing up or deleting any apps.

Ignore the warning saying busybox not found or anything like that.

1. Open titanium backup

2. Look for "Contacts Storage" and select it

3. Do a "wipe data"

This should clean all ur contacts.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LBCaptivate:
Thanks, but I am not using TiBu. Phone is not rooted. I backed up my contacts with Android Manager.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
So u were able to achieve what u wanted?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LBCaptivate:
No. I need to delete all my contact before I do a restore. My contact got all messed up when I hit the exported file on the SD card. Now I have Contact that show a number instead of a name and duplicate linked contacts. This is why I want to delete them all so I can do a restore to get them back the way they should be. No duplicates and no contacts with a number instead of a name.

Thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
Try the app "contact remover" from market.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
Have you synched with Google? Could just delete them all there and they should wipe out your phone as well no?

[Desire General] escort82:
Just upgraded my Desire over the air official update 2.29.405.5 vodafone europe and after i did few video test shots there is no lag no more on 720p recording and playback wohoooo...hahahaha i also noticed much faster camera menus..fingers crossed for staying like that..
[Desire General] fezzawinkle:
Changelog?
[Desire General] ljesh:
I refused the update, but the description was like: fixed minor bugs.

Something like that. And it was 4-5 MB if I remember well.
[Desire General] PalaNIN:
I'd also like to know this. I haven't noticed any changes at all! I had a look through the camera and it seemed pretty smooth, but I don't use it all that much so I can't really confirm.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
I just noticed this 4/5MB update - no one knows what it does yet?
[Desire General] ZaPP187:
I have read in another forum that there have been some fixes in Sense, especially speed improvements in contact list and calendar. Furthermore there has been a change in camera app with the selfshot option and some people say they can now record 720p videos with 30 fps in good light conditions with no "stutter" effect (dont know if this is for real, havent tried yet).

Just wondering, is this the same RUU (RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe) as in this update
[Desire General] PAULRYAN52:
hi my phones saying update available, i'm currently on 2.29.405.2 should i update or not, my phones unbranded
[Desire General] MasDroid:
Yes you can, if your phone is unbranded and not debranded, you should not encounter any issues. I don't think it is a major update, probably fixes.

If the update is more than just the odd 4-5 MB in size, then it will be the same one contained in this RUU, which can be run manually from your PC.

Simply run it while your phone is connected via your PC via USB and make sure USB Debugging is enabled, HTC Sync is installed, run as Administrator, and temporarily disable your AV software for the update.
[Desire General] PAULRYAN52:
thanks do you know what it fixes over .2
[Desire General] MasDroid:
there is a thread for the 5 MB update for 2.29.405.5, I just did a quick search via Google, see this thread for more information:

http://translate.google.co.uk/trans...ch?q=2.29.405.5+update+5+mb&hl=en&prmd=ivnsfd

EDIT: The 2.29.405.5 update just comes with a few app updates and the newer radio... but that's about it :)

so when the kitchen is ready.. we are good to build roms? how do we port the .32 kernel here and replace this ? will it work if u just replace the zimage? .. i also heard somewhere that playing with the kernel doesnt brik the fon ?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] EdisDee:
could someone please share rombasics.zip based on FROYO? ;)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] precurse:
It can soft brick the phone.. Meaning the phone may not boot past the i5800(i) screen. If you see that screen, it means that you can't get past the Second Boot Loader (Sbl.bin). Reflashing with a good zImage should fix that problem.

That screen usually means there's an issue with the way the kernel was flashed, or the kernel/initramfs (both are contained in the zImage).

Cool.. i will try to cook my self a rom.. removing and adding what i want ... so i understand that the file inrombasic.zip is eclair ? i cud have done some real developing but my work takes away some time.. so i can only try to cook some rom at d moment.. Happy new yr :)
[myTouch 3G Slide General] JohnnyDanger:
Hi everyone. I'm switching TMO and have decided on the Mytouch 4G. I'm having a hard time deciding which phone to get for my wife. She really wants a phone with a keyboard and likes my current phones capabilities (samsung captivate). I was thinking about the G2, but after seeing the hinge I'm thinking that's not the best idea since she tends to drop her phone and stuff. Although the Mytouch 3g slide is slightly older I'm considering getting that one.

What I want to know is if current users of the Mytouch 3g Slide think that it is a good phone for a first time android user who will mainly use it for texting, light web viewing, email and some Facebook posting.

I would appreciate any feedback you all can provide.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] sandpaperback:
Yes, it's a great phone for a first timer (that's me).

I will say this though, I rarely use the physical keyboard any more. With Swype, SwiftKey and now the Gingerbread keyboard, there's just not much reason. I usually end up bumping the volume key with me finger when I use the physical keyboard.

Aside from that though, it's a great phone. It might not be the fastest or fanciest on the market, but it gets the job done.

My wife, on the other hand, is also a first time Android user and just got the MyTouch 4G. She absolutely loves it, it feels sturdier, and everyday it seems more likely she'll see a Gingerbread upgrade before I see Froyo.

Unless she's dead-set on the keyboard, I'd go with the 4G.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] bunu:
For its price, it is a great phone. Just root it and install CyanogenMod 6 on it, and it is really fast and stabe.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] JohnnyDanger:
Thanks sandpaperback and UberMario. You have both given me confidence in getting this phone.

I've been trying to convince her to go with a keyboard-less phone, but she is set on it so I figure why argue. LOL. I'm thinking about just having her try it without the keyboard and only using touch screen and if she starts to like it then I will just take it back and exchange it for the Mytouch 4g.

Thanks again for the info.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] guitarist5122:
just going to add what everyone else said that if your wife tends to drop phones, she's gonna need a protective skin/case. the shell knicks too easily. other than that, its a sturdy, reliable, good average user phone
[myTouch 3G Slide General] JohnnyDanger:
Thanks for the suggestion on the shell/case. I will make sure I get her one.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] heybobitsme:
The Slide is a good phone for a first time user. The keyboard is damn good and, even though it's all plastic, it's pretty sturdy. Hell, I've dropped mine a few times and the worst that happened besides a few scratches was the battery cover and battery fell out. But it doesn't have the greatest available storage at 145 MB before you put anything on it. Also the processor is outdated (ARMv6, the same as the G1!). But, if you're planning on buying it outright, then go ahead and get your wife a slide.

However, if you're planning on getting it on contract, I'd say either go with a G2 or try and convince your wife that she'll be able to text fine without a keyboard and get her a Mytouch 4G or get a Nexus S and give her your MT4G. They're all going to be more future-proof, having better processors, memory and storage and, especially with the NS being Google branded, you're more guaranteed updates.

HTC and T-Mobile have all but abandoned this phone and the developer support for the Slide has all but died, with only a few competent developers working on it. Now if you were to ask me this a few months ago, I would have said 'ya, get it. It's a great phone'. But now, I say it's an ok phone, but it has a short lifespan.

Those are my two cents.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Ace42:
I agree, go with the G2 or MT4G, you'll be much happier with one of those instead..But with swype and the large screen-the MT4G is easy to use, the slide's kb isnt the best.Get something fast that you know can handle future updates, also the other phones have better resolutions, so it's good for watching stuff on.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] JohnnyDanger:
Thanks guys, now I have more to think about. A little earlier I had my wife use my Captivate to send a long text. She did alright for not being used to it. I think I'm going to get her the Mytouch 4g and if she doesn't like it after a week or so then I will exchange it for a G2. The hinge on the G2 just has me worried cause it doesn't look very strong.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Sizzlechest:
It's a terrible phone. It's slow, has a low resolution screen, and the CPU is ARM v6, so if you root it and put Cyangoenmod on it, you'll never have flash support.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Suntar:
I love my 3gs. I have rooted it and messed that up a few times when I was first learning and it never bricked. I have flashed it a few times and it keeps on ticking. It is easy typing and I love the slide out keys. Great phone ...
[Nexus S General] nintendolinky:
Like on the Nexus One, I would like to know if there is a way to root the phone without unlocking the bootloader.

Do you have the ability to edit that type of file? I have my original wpa_supplicant and a modified version that gave me access to ADHOC networks (and the market). Normally, I'll load them both into Meld and see what needed to be changed on yours, but it looks like they'd have to be decompiled and recompiled (Meld says they are binary), so I don't know where to go from there. I'd be happy to post the files though, if it would help.
