I will check it out. Widgets is a must-have for me, unless it also has a status bar control option (which is even better than widgets.

I tend to agree, but I'm not sure how much money I want to spend on my phone. Part of me wants to get an iPhone and never have to fudge around with settings and roms again. Part of me hates the iPhone because I can't do with it what I want. So I'm trying not to invest more money in my phone unless I get something really really must-have. As the default player with the SGS is good (and now can use it with Darky's ROM), I'm good.

Will check it out and update.

I'm in China and so have missed the social network craze. I think if I was in USA, I still would have missed it.

Winamp's UI is easy, but Double Twist is very similar UI IMO.

I've tried running some other lock screens because i hate the stock one. none of them work. They work for awhile and then suddenly you'll use the new one and the stock one will be there after words so essentially the phone is double locking.

Anyone know a way to fix this so i can use a different lock screen and not have it double lock.
[Samsung Mesmerize] crackeyes:
I use lock 2.0 its $2 on the market and i never had the double lock issue. If you use a task killer make sure that you exclude it
[Samsung Mesmerize] sageDieu:
I find that if you install NoLock from the market and enable a pattern lock it disables the stock lockscreen, at least in my experience.
[Samsung Mesmerize] crackeyes:
if you just enable a pattern lock it will disable the default one
[Samsung Mesmerize] vluhd:
I use widgetlocker.

It's $2 on the market, and development is active on it.

It works very nicely too, and allows you to clutter your lock screen with widgets. lol
[Samsung Mesmerize] wmedlin:
I just got this and installed it and within the first hr i had 2 lock screens anyway around this i really want this working i cant stand the oem lock screen.
[Samsung Mesmerize] sageDieu:
If you're still looking for a fix, try out GOTO Lockscreen. I switched from my NoLock idea to it, it does a good job of keeping the crappy stock lockscreen away.

It has a nice rotary slider with shortcuts at intervals on the slider, and a couple of other nice features. I think you would like it.

I can't mount my EVO (CM 6.1) on a new Linux installation (Debian testing). I have searched the forums and Googled quite a bit, but none of the suggestions seem to pertain to me.

I'm aware I have to select mount on the phone first. (I've mounted it on other Linux systems many times before.)

It's not the SD card; it shows up fine in a Windows VM.

It's not the cable; I've tried two different cables.

I can mount regular USB drives just fine on this system.

Toggling debug mode yields the same result.

The device shows up, but udev never creates the device for the partition:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
After a week of having ginger clone yesterday I got 16 hours of battery with moderate use.

Does this mean sticking to a rom helps battery or no?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XiaoSiuMai:
I think it all depends on kernels and appear left in the rom. I would like to give u a personal example but I bought my vibrant new off of craigslist and rooted it an hour after receiving it. I don't know how stock run except for my friend's vibrant which gets about 12 hours of batt life running completely stock. I usually get 20 hours running axura 2.2 jk6 modem and super io kernel
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbbb:
Your battery life is not affected by how many ROMs you flash, only on the ROM and kernel and maybe modem you're running.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
The question, as I understand it, was regarding whether staying with one particular ROM might improve battery life. I don't have much experience with Android to date, but this is definitely true in Windows Mobile. The first days after a flash, the ROM seems to settle in and the battery life improves and stays steady. Constant flashing tended to wreak havoc on battery life, from my experience.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
yeah i think thats what happene with me..

on ginger clone the first 2 days bleh got 5 hours of battery life, amazingly the days after that, total of 17 hours... i was shocked.

I don't care about the dual-core. I am talking about more powerful GPU.

i have a herald. and i need a rom which have most free RAM.. so can u offer a ROM for me?
[Wing, P4350 General] Tribulattifather:
Well, if you know how to flash via SD card you can flash any of my ROM Suites with the SD versions..

I recommend flashing the base ROM for my TribShell Suite.

That is the lightest ROM possible. I made that one purposely light and it has a lot of free Ram..

Then from there you can look through my threads and you'll see .cab files you can install..

For instance, you can flash my Base ROM for my TribShell Suite, then head over to my Trib7 Suite and install the throttlelauncher.cab.

Then you can download one of my Updates for my Trib7 Suite and follow the rest of the installation directions in that thread.

Or you can flash with my TribShell and then install the Trib3.cab in that same thread and then download a theme further in that thread..

It doesn't hurt to do it again, but it is unnecessary; What you can do is flash right to one of my ROM Suites. If it happens that you can't flash right to one of my ROMs then please do it again.​

2)u gave a link:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=NKQ25KAH

what is that, and what is it for?

That is an SPB Shell program that creates a user interface that is very nice graphically and it is open ended, which means that you can install themes like I have listed on my TribShell thread.​

3)i cant download this file:

http://www.mediafire.com/?2zgvzt0poh6fgox

I'll cook you another one.. go to my

requests thread

..​

4)and which one is safer to setup? SD or RUU version?

In terms of safeness, either one is.. If you're asking on the basis of easiness, flashing via RUU is. But see

HERE

why flashing via SD is 'better' in my opinion (read post #61 through #63).​

i know i asked alot of quesiton, but im noob at this, i will appreciate if you help :)

You're going to need to definitely format to FAT32; You'll also need to either get another SD card that is 256 MB or less or partition the one you have to only read 256MB or less..

My recommendation is to get a whole other SD card for flashing. Much like I do. I have two SD cards.. Well actually I have three, but only use the two I have, lol. One is for flashing and the other is the external storage.

After you get another mini SD card, get it with a sleeve and get a card adapter/reader like this:

And please don't worry about asking me questions; To me, the only question that is dumb is the question not asked

(damn, lol, I just sounded like my 5th grade math teacher; ask as many questions as you want).

Because, I have never got that to work..

i installed tribshell and i like it so much.. but i think phone lock is alittle bit long. i mean i have to first hit start button, then left softkey (or lock icon on the screen). its locked. and to turn off screen,i hit power button..

its 3 hit for locking..

cant we decrease it to 1, only power button.. i mean hitting power button locks phone.. like S2U2.. is it possible??
[Wing, P4350 General] Tribulattifather:
Look over at my iTrib Suite.. Install the S2U2 cab I have on that thread.
[Wing, P4350 General] unreal4:
did u mean: "THIS"

Then to update the S2U2, download THIS and install on device memory.

but isnt it classic s2u2? as seen on first seconds in video in that page?
[Wing, P4350 General] Tribulattifather:
Yes. That is the S2U2 app I was taking about. The battery you see is how it looks when the phone is plugged in.

But, with S2U2, when you press the power button, the phone will lock.
[Wing, P4350 General] unreal4:
mmm :/miknow s2u2 already i have used it for years.. but i like 6.5's lock screen now and want to use it.. i reall would use a lock like this:

I have no idea what software that is. It looks great... whatever it is, lol.
