[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Landroid:
Hello people!

I definately need a phone, cause the Galaxy Tab is way too big for everyday mobile use! I'm very into android, cause i created some roms and mods and i heard that the HD2 is capable of running android directly in the NAND so this is pretty cool!

Technically the HD2 and the Nexus One are the same, but the HD2 is slightly cheaper in my area (350€ vs. 380€), so for what phone should i go? the Nexus S would be an option too but its overpriced ATM and isnt much faster than the Nexus One!

Is the HD2 Community dying out or is it still as active as in the time after release?

Is the Nexus the better choose, because of better support from google and the massive modding community?

Or is the Nexus S the best choose, cause its the newest one with a rapidly growing community?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexoo:
The hd2 society is certainly live and kickin..:-)- other threads to see for yourself.. I would go for hd2 as it gives u diversity of uses and choices... wm, android.. and ... its hd2 for gods sake ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nangathegr8:
go for Nexus

You wouldnt like windows

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atomical007:
Go for HD2,because it's capable of running android and boot android directly from Nand.another special option is you will be able to play with WP7. :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stoolzo:
Personally after having a play with a friends Galaxy S I would go for that, the screen is beautiful, unless the nexus also has AMOLED?, there are also plenty of cooked ROMS on here for the Galaxy S. Alternatively there are supposed to be some tegra 2 handsets coming along in q1, might be worth waiting a while.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cymagnus:
I think if you already have a HD2, it's worthwhile to keep it as it offers a lot of possibilities but if you are buying new, I would suggest buying newer phones..

WM 6.5 OS is dead.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
What has WM 6.4 got to do with the price of fish?

The HD2 can run Android by itself now, WM is out of the picture.

Put it this way, If my HD2 suddenly died I would still go out and but another over any current Android phone, simply because I love the design and also because of its versatility and specs.

I have choice of multiple OS's (which list is growing) so I can pick and choose whenever I see fit.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stoolzo:
I would have agreed last week but I was shown the Galaxy S this weekend, Android looks **** hot with the AMOLED, i'm sold, Phone is fast and has TV out as well, some versions will eventually get HDMI output.. sold yet?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lms1407:
Buy the HD2, wait half an year and buy a new dual core phone with Hardware video chip.

HD2 is versatile, I like it and it got like a new phone after Android, but stil i think at the middle of next year we will be buying a new toy.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cymagnus:
I'm fine with HD2 being versatile and all, I owned a HD2 myself.

Buying the HD2 now is kinda late for the party, you know what I mean.

And you never know when the developement and tinkering for HD2 stops or the next super star device comes along.

In fact, when the Nexus One came along, I would thought it will become a developer's device that offer much more possibilities. But i digress..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shubh.27hd2:
Go for hd2 again..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raven_raven:
If you like modding, tweaking and running a whole bunch of OSes on one phone, get HD2.

But if you're that kind of user which want a phone to run great out of a box, get Nexus S.

Nexus One is almost identical compared to HD2 in terms of CPU, RAM. HD2 has bigger screen, no 720p recording and few other differences, but IMO 4,3", beautiful screen is more than enought to choose HD2 ;). Ah, and you have to have at least basic knowledge about tweaking phones to run Android from NAND (or simply put few folders on SD card and run Android from SD card).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Erq001:
What he said.

I love modding&tweaking business and HD2 is just great (kinda designed for it) for that purpose. Half a year of new builds and I'm not tired.

But now I'm in deep need for stable OS just for phone calls, and I'm considering same thing or switching to WM6.5 (God please save me from this evil thing) for good.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sephiroot:
@Erq001

Szukasz stabilnego OSa? Nie kupuje WM.

Z drugiej strony HD2 jest całkiem porządnie zrobiony i jakoś wygląda.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abagnale:
However, if you'd ask the same question in the Nexus One forum, everybody would advice you to buy Google's phone ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Landroid:
yes i have much expirience in android modding, so this should be no problem ;) arent 350€ much for the HD2? i think i might buy a used one!

hi everyone,

i m planning to buy 4gb micro sd card for galaxy s, but i am confused with class4 and class6?? which one should i buy??

thanks a lot.....
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Hondo209:
4 and 6 are speeds, 4 being the slower of the two. Class 4 should be fine.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] lgkahn:
why would you buy a 4gb.. you can get a good class 6 or higher 16 gb now for about 25 dollars.. i recommend the a-data 16gb class 6. i have had them in 5 diff phones.. never anissue.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] wayne_rooney:
so, class 4 should be fine for hd video recording and other usage right...

thanks for comments..

no i would not get that ,, as i said get adata.. i have had 3 sandisk 16gb fail.. they are terrible quality.. the 8gb are fine.. but their 16gb are trash.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Igor 3:
can somene please post some links from ebay where you bought your cards. Im looking for class 6, 8 and 16 gb. I dont know which are original, some are cheap but then i think, they are probably a copy.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kms108:
At present micro sdhc class grading goes upto class 10, the class rating only refer to the minumum read and write speed, so a class 4 is not neccessary slower than a class 6, for more information, click on the link in my sig, the info is rather out dated, like a few years back, but gives you a rough idea about micro sdhc cards.
[Vibrant General] mac1133:
Just wanted to know if its only a matter of time before we see android 2.3 roms on samsung galaxy vibrant? I know the nexus s has 2.3 but i don't know what that means for other high end android phones. Do we have to wait for a leaked version before we can install 2.3, or can developers create a rom just like gingerbread on the nexus s? THANKS in advance!
[Vibrant General] ferhanmm:
Right now theres an experimental build out. Team whiskey is still working on putting out another version as per their site.

[Vibrant General] anthonys2r:
As much as I would like 2.3, you have to know that T-Mobile has not released 2.2 OTA yet. I'm guessing Samsung is going to skip 2.2.1 and HOPEFULLY start developing 2.3 for the SGS lines. Giving Samsung's software track record along with T-Mobiles crappy service (in terms of getting updates out), it'll be a long while before we can even sniff 2.3 (thats been built and leaked for the Vibrant, not ported over).
[Vibrant General] oka1:
Samsung's website (think it is under firmware link) shows the sgs including the usa tmobile sgs planned for the 2.3 update.......... to be safe look for it in August-Oct 2011 not before (my guess)
[Vibrant General] lexluthor:
Lol, we might not get official 2.2 by then.

I doubt very much we ever see official 2.3 on this phone.
[Vibrant General] smeadow:
I agree and think tmobile would like to foget these variant phones all together and concentrate on future developments. The SGS phones are in need of upgrades multicore. Sammy the industry leader and can't get bogged down with last yrs tech.
[Vibrant General] AustinKnight45:
Im with you on this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] LordSoth:
A couple of days ago there was a post about a way to clean up the widget selection screen, so that widgets with multiple options would be grouped together and then you would expand them to see all the options. For example a widget like Elixir which has 16x possible combinations would appears as just one option until you expanded it.

Long story short I meant to come back to try it, but I can't seem to find the post anymore. I've gone through this thread to about the beginning of December, but I can't seem to find it. Anyone know which post I'm referring to?

Thank-you.
[myTouch 4G General] TheKorbenDallas:
Hello

I just subscribed to Google Voice service for voicemail only. I also installed the Google Voice application on my myTouch 4G. The application performed automatic setup and successfully changed all settings to Google Voice. However, the #1 speed dial slot is still linked to my old T-Mobile voicemail access number. Apparently, Google Voice app was unable to change it and the phone itself seems to provide to way to change it (#1 slot is not editable).

Is there any workaround for this? The phone is rooted, BTW. The speed dial for #1 slot must be stored somewhere, meaning that it should be editable manually. Does anyone know where and what I should change to make slot #1 point to my Google Voice access number?

Thanks.
[Android Themes] iwasapirate:
I've been working on my own winphone7 type theme (using LauncherPro Plus and Desktop Visualizer), and I'm hoping maybe someone on this forum could help me out with it.

My question is whether or not Desktop Visualizer can create shortcuts to navigate through homescreens on a press.

I know it can be done in LPP with the dockbar icons using a LauncherPro Shortcut, but I have those assigned to primary functions already and I don't want to essentially not have a dockbar.

I cant post my screens yet (I am a terrible, awful lurker) but essentially the bottom row of each of my homescreens has a LEFT and RIGHT icon I was hoping to assign functions to, right now they have no action tied to them and just serve as an open space to swipe without accidentally launching anything.

You cannot assign the shortcuts using DV.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Izeltokatl:
Could something like like this be ported to the eris if appliable?

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Izeltokatl:
for those that dont know what this is, MTD is the memory allocation for the following main folders: Cache, System, and Data

on my sisters Desire, I was able to change from:

System @ 250MB

Cache @ 40Mb

Data @ 147MB

to the following giving me almost double the memory for downloadable apps:

Cache @ 35MB

System @ 160MB

Data @ 242MB

----

I know on the Eris we have a lot less room to work with, but could this particular process be ported to work on our phone?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=806321

Eris stock has roughly

Cache @ 130MB (I dont think we need that much)

System @ 160MB

Data @ 170MB

we could probably reduce the cache to half and be safe to move to Data or even move some of the System to Data and still be safe (for non Sense ROMS of course).

Any smart devs willing to play with this? Or has this been done somewhere already?

Sorry it took so long guys but here are some of the themes for fission that are located in the FRM.

I take no responsibility for any of these themes. I am simply posting them with the permission of Team Defuse!

There are 3 GingerBread themes!

1 has transition animation, one is stock and the other is with out the transition images

There is also a thirdeye black theme.

With this theme there is a circle battery with battery percents in the center of it. Also has a black out google talk and other modded apps.

This theme also changes your boot animation to I believe the incredible boot

Next is the stock with rounded status bar. Also has battery percents

Then there is the black out theme! Themed apks black transparent drop down and battery percents.

There is also a galaxy s theme, a christmas theme, and a blue nebraska theme. I don't have screen shots of these yet but I will soon!!!

If you have any other questions ask me. I have used everyone of these themes and they are all great!

Guys come on... why don't you read first this thread...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=900175

It clearly states:

"Similarly, don't make loads of "Thanks for your work here" posts in an active development thread. It's just as annoying to developers as asking when something will be ready. If a ROM is complete, then go ahead and thank the developer if you wish, but don't go into threads for devs only, and interrupt it to post "thanks". It's basically spamming, and is treated as such.

"

Hi :)

does this beta also runs from SD Card as previous alpha releases? or it's flashed over existing 2.1 rom?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] chabbe11:
Sorry but i need to ask a question...

For us with the "old" 2.2.1 rom release which I installed with xrecovery, what should I do to update to the new version?

Do I need to use SEUS first or what?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] jimbo77:
I don't think so. Just do a full wipe via Xrecovery and the install custom zip.. and locate Zdizihu's file... like the "old" one..

Jim
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] chabbe11:
Well, the thing is that I can't accessthe xrecovery since I installed the "old" 2.2.1 froyo rom... If I don't press any button it will boot into 2.2.1 and if I do press the "back" button it will boot into 2.1 SE...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Jmercy09:
It worked for me...you might need a second opinion since someone stated the chargemon should be replaced instead of deleted.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] freddy009:
I would personally use this "FROYO 2.2.1 X10 AOSP [TripNRaVeRs MODs]"

I have been using it for about 4 days and so far the only problem preventing me from using day to day is the hardware video encoder not working.

The phone feature works flawlessly, as well as:

-sms

-Mobile data

-speaker

-music

-market

-wifi

-usb storage/usb debugging

and more

EDIT: I know that that Z & J have put forth most of the work for any of the custom 2.1 and 2.2 mods, dont bash me just because I prefer a certain version of the 2.2.1, just as some of you may prefer the Eminence or Eternity Rom over the generic 2.1

Please delete post
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] corruptfate:
does this allow dual booting? or does this wipe the old rom
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
It wipes the old one but you get xrecovery in it which means you can use more roms if you want but only have one on the internal memory at anytime but store as many others as you want on your sd card and then restore or reflash them. This is much better than only being limited to two roms, in my opinion.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Jmercy09:
I did have that problem after being halted by a FC of the market. I opened it again and everything worked fine after that. Sometimes doing a system wipe before installing the roms helps...not sure if thats the case for you tho.

Hi,

First of all, thank you for your awesome work!

I bought a X10 yesterday, and when I got home I read the news about SE not releasing Froyo for the X10, so I'm now in a pickle: should I just return the phone or wait for a custom rom?

The thing is, I use A LOT both features that are missing: smooth video playback and camera.

What I'd like to know is if you have an estimate date for both this features being completely functional, or is it impossible to give an estimate? I mean, is there a chance you can't get these problems fixed?
