[Android Software Development] Futur Innovations:
I can give you one to play with if you want. Its a work in progress as far as a full home-replacement app. I am working on making an app drawer, then making everything around that. Like I said, I can make an .apk for you that is a simple grid view that shows all the apps on the device and launches them. There is a random layout animation that plays when the gridView is first called. Just pm me if you would like to try it out :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ceno808:
Hej,

Im using Gingerbread Keyboard and look for a shortcut to this layout. Hope that someone can help me out.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ceno808:
Is it possible?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ceno808:
Ehm, no answers?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freakfingers12:
You mean you want that layout of number keys instead of the number keys (1 straight row) on the main keyboard? Nope, you can't have that. The closest you can have is with Swiftkey keyboard.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ceno808:
Not instead just in Addition. It is much nicer to input numbers that way.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ceno808:
I would live to see a hack ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derrzredeem:
you mean shortcut for the keyboard, yes?

long press the menu button, that should work ;)

no need to hack, i guess.

edit : i'm on CM/GB btw, don't know if it works on 2.2/.1

Hope it helped

I'm not really into AOSP Roms,but im currently running Evervolv Gingerbread Beta and the CM kernel isnt running Excellent battery life and i have no clue if

Aosp works with collins tweak.

so can people insist some good aosp kernels?

Which Zendroid should i use? Avs? SVS?

i was told that CM give Good battery life days worth.

im not seeing it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themassofthesun:
I'm currently using netarchys kernel and the battery life its fantastic

Swyped from my EVO running CyanogenMod 6.1 Nightlies
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caspers25:
yeah,i know. but which kernel and which rom?

and what are you using? setcpu? collins tweak? Juice Defender?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crossrocker:
Zendroid bfs Avs, setcpu 844 Max 245 min smartass. That's about all you need.

Collins tweak is setcpu like screen off and stuff except you don't do the hard work.

I'm using cm6 and get amazing battery life with my setup

A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on the IPhone. We now have the Htc Evo.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caspers25:
whats your set up?

well collins tweak is said to work better,but i didnt get a answer for any of my questions.

Can collins tweak be used in Aosp roms or not?

I really need the best setups possible so i can try them all out what fits my phone.

I have a a NAND build and I accidentally installed a bad APk and now I get boot loop after restart is there a way to hard reset android ? Without access to computer
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SH4YD33:
in magldr go to the ad hard reset option...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dotnetguyaz:
I'm not 100% certain on this, but I believe the answer would be no. You might want to reboot it and hold the power button down to get into the MAGLDR menu and see if there is a reset option. However, I don't think there will be anything there that can help. Sorry!

I stand corrected (thankfully)

[G2 and Desire Z General] jthornton71707:
Convince me. The stainless Steele body is appealing to me. I don't really see a difference in the processor speeds, and the full keyboard is appealing. Battery life on my nexus s is unimpressive however and I've heard that the nexus s packs a bigger battery. Can anyone persuad me????

[G2 and Desire Z General] BootloopedMillennials:
Not gonna lie with the recent 1.3ghz kernel for the Nexus S and the insane benchmark results at that level, I was tempted to sell my G2 and pick up one. In the end though, I love my G2 too much to give it up.

Well I'd be using at&t... so I'd be isolated to edge. I have a 4g wimax hotspot iI take with me tho so it's not an issue. How is the screen compared to the nexus s?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Vulgrim:
I'll trade you my g2 fo the nexus s ;].

In terms of screens most would probably like the nexus s screens more since its more vibrant <--- LOL.. colorful and all that smack. However the g2's screen would likely to be sharper than the nexus s. All depends on what you are using it for. Nexus s's screen would be better than g2 if you were doing multimedia, but g2 is probably better for reading text and etc.

EDIT: I would like to note that once you feel the g2's build you most likely won't want to let go of it. Just feels so solid. I took my cases off the g2 because I missed the feeling of the actual phone
[G2 and Desire Z General] OoTLink:
The G2? Why not wait for a dualcore phone? hehe.
[G2 and Desire Z General] joemm:
You can get the Desire Z, the Bell Canada brand uses the same band width AT&T 3g 850mhz and 1900mhz so you can have the HTC Vision for AT&T and still get 3g speeds, heres a link to specs on the Bell Desire Z:

Wow so if I buy this phone it'll work with at&t 3g??? Where can I buy? I've just been browsing craigslist
[G2 and Desire Z General] ahalp:
I find HTC's build quality to be much better that Samsung's. The heft and the feeling of the desire z, is what originally won me over when I was debating between it and the samsung vibrant.
[G2 and Desire Z General] gbarayah:
I purchased mine from Ebay. I believe Negri Electronics also sells it online. It'll run you in the neighborhood of $500-600.
[G2 and Desire Z General] TheBiles:
I'm selling my Nexus for a G2. I'm going to make at least $250, and the G2 seems at least equal to or better than the Nexus in every category except the screen. I can sacrifice the SAMOLED for a SLCD for $250 (plus the added benefits like a non-plastic body, 4G, a keyboard, and a notification LED).
[G2 and Desire Z General] joemm:
Wow, that was quick, didnt you just get your G2?

Guess that speaks volumes for the G2 vs Nexus S.
[G2 and Desire Z General] alpharomero:
Man. I was considering selling my G2 and picking up a Nexus S, but this thread has pretty much gotten rid of that idea. What do you guys think about the MT4G, though? I am still considering picking up that one and dumping the G2. (Still haven't gotten accustomed to the keyboard.)
[G2 and Desire Z General] Hot_Hands:
I'm baffled why anyone would want a myTouch over a G2.

Just saying that dumbass name pisses me off. myTouch. ugggggh :mad:

However, I wouldn't mind having a Nexus S to play with. I don't think I'd ever give up my G2 though. <3
[G2 and Desire Z General] BootloopedMillennials:
This. Not to mention its a pretty ugly device.
[G2 and Desire Z General] alpharomero:
Yeah, when I first decided to buy a new phone a couple of weeks ago, I just figured the myTouch was a ****ty phone based on its name and was going with the G2 for sure, but then I learned that it certainly competes hardware-wise...and coming from an iPhone 3G, I would very possibly be more comfortable with its form factor.

Lighter and smaller, too. I suppose if this "mirror" tool ends up working well so I can video chat with the G2, that will solve my last big problem. Anyone think that will pan out?
[G2 and Desire Z General] TheBiles:
I just got my Nexus on launch, but after the initial "ZOMG THAT SCREEN IS BEAUTIFUL" shock wore off I realized that I could save a lot of money and get a phone that is on the same level with a few better features with the G2.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jthornton71707:
Okay guys youve convinced me, i might be picking one up right now off craigslist for only $280. What are the best custom roms to use with this bad boy??? Any suggestions?
[G2 and Desire Z General] TheBiles:
CyanogenMod.
[G2 and Desire Z General] m0bstar:
Its all in preference, CyanogenMod is the most common, however i like the new GingerVillian by VillianRoms.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jthornton71707:
I noticed that rom too... whats so great about it? I couldnt find any information on it. Coming from my Nexus One, Nexus s im pretty familiar with CM, and HTC Sense. But What is Vanillia Ginger??? or even Chocolote?
[G2 and Desire Z General] tvdang7:
battery sucks on my g2 as well.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jdrm24:

[G2 and Desire Z General] jdrm24:
Yooo g2 have led light is 4g ,trackpad,fisical keyboard great voice quality if you wanna play old games like a snes or genesis with emulators the keyboard is nice!!!!!!!
[G2 and Desire Z General] mcp2009:
Hmm well right now I own a Nexus One & a G2. I prefer the Nexus out of those two but use my G2 as my main phone because of battery life. I have a Nexus S and HD7 on the way in the mail. I wanna test WP7 and use Netflix on it when traveling and want to use the Nexus S as my main phone. I have yet to touch the S but I've seen the screen on the vibrant and I've used a friends Vibrant and the screen is amazing, only downfall for me is lack of memory card slot because I have 16GBs of music + every episode of king of the hill and I only have 1GB left on my card :( . When I get the S I plan on just streaming my music and eventually buying a Zune HD, iPod Touch, or maybe even use my old Nexus One as a mp3. The FFC, Screen, and Design sold me on getting the S. Also I wanted to continue my Nexus Legacy and I will continue to buy the next Nexus' no matter what company makes it just because of the dev support and ability to get updates right away. I will not lie I do love HTC and swore I would only get their devices but the plastic build on the S doesn't bother me. I love my G2 but it'll be on a break once I get my S
[G2 and Desire Z General] IIWAT:
If Video Chat is not important, then G2 is better..

Yes, S will have better support.

So I keep the i9000 at the moment.. ..
[Nexus S General] rkantos:
I want to compare Nexus S's GPS to Galaxy S's. So could anyone there make a simple track with Nexus S walking and driving for atleast 2km. If possible do the tracking with a Galaxy S tracking at the same time as well.

Thanks
[Nexus S General] QuantumRand:
I actually have both a Nexus S and Vibrant, so I could do this for you. Is there any particular app you have in mind to do it with?
[Nexus S General] nicholasbgr:
I guess you can use MyTracks.
[Nexus S General] milko9000:
I did a 14km mountain bike ride with Runkeeper on, yesterday. Was my first try with the app (normally use MyTracks but this was my first ride since switching to the Nexus S). Not sure how to share it but this link is a start.

One thing I did notice is that the beginning of my ride included a 28 mile 'warp' from where I'd been using Google Maps the day before! I guess in future I need to give it a little more time establishing that initial fix before I press start. Luckily I was able to edit out that point to get the real route.
[Nexus S General] bob.zxr:
Please someone make a Mytracks tracking With a Nexus S and another phone (preferably HTC cause those have very good GPS units) and upload the results.
[Nexus S General] nicholasbgr:
There you go.

I just made this one with my Nexus S:

http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=U....555383,-44.264713&spn=0.002128,0.003484&z=19

Keep in mind that the sky was full of heavy clouds so I can't guarantee that the GPS was operating on its full accuracy.

A couple of months ago I made a track recording with my Motorola Milestone, here's the link:

http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=U...900089483924351110.0004990b6c3698b559c65&z=14

When I first saw the Nexus S track i was like "holy sh*t this looks bad". But then I went to my old milestone track and it was almost the same. You can only see how bad it is once you zoom in a lot.
[Nexus S General] bob.zxr:
Based on these two I would say that the Nexus S GPS is still not good enough or its just the weather. I hope the latter.
[Nexus S General] milko9000:
I'll try to post one of my old tracks from the same location made with HTC Hero (custom ROM though) and Google MyTracks. I'd do it now but the interface is impossible on this netbook screen!

Anyway - for me the Nexus S gets a fix much faster and seems generally at least as accurate, possibly more so.
[Nexus S General] cavanman:
You will only get at best about 3.5m accuracy from a regular gps device without dgps (waas/egnos). No phones that I know of, support dgps. With dgps you can get accurate to about 0.9m

If you need more accuracy then there are external gps/bluetooth modules that have dgps and fast refresh rates, for about $80.
[Nexus S General] eahiv:
Worse GPS than N1

Anecdotally and without any quantifiable experimentation, but based on using mytracks with GPS extremely regularly for running, I can say the GPS in the Nexus S seems a bit worse thanin the Nexus One. I didn't have both in my possession simultaneously for long enough to do the same track with both but I have loads of old Nexus One tracked routes I could re-run with the Nexus S to compare. The N1 gave me trouble every once in a while too though and the clouds have been rowdy lately, possibly contributing, so I'm optimistic. It's bearable in any case other than seeming to take more of a battery drain (again, anecdotally).
[Nexus S General] milko9000:
OK, here's a bunch of tracks from my HTC Hero if you're interested in trying to compare them.

http://goo.gl/maps/XSG4

(For convenience, the Nexus S link from earlier is this)

As I say, based purely on my observation the Nexus S gets the fix faster. Having a zoomed-in look at the two maps would say to me they're both as accurate as I could wish for.
[Nexus S General] cavanman:
from what I understand, the gps chip in the ns is good in terms of performance, locks faster, keeps lock longer under low signal conditions etc but isn't necessarily any more accurate than any of the previous models wear. gps accuracy is purposely limited for civilian use and I believe most chips out there can achieve that accuracy as long as they are able to track the required number of satellites.
[Nexus S General] tommyz2kool:
I agree with this. I use my gps and navigation all the time to drive around and the nexus s gps is typically 30 - 50ft behind the positioning marker. With my N1 it felt like the marker was about 10ft within my location.

Also I notice that the gps sometimes misplaces my postioning marker on the map and the compass points in the wrong direction. These arent problems I had with my N1 but perhaps because its cloudier now than when I had my N1.

I'd give the N1 gps a 9, and the NS gps a 6. What makes up for the weird accuracy issues is the bigger screen.
[Nexus S General] rkantos:
Thank you for all the replies. If at all possible, could someone still make one comparison with an external bluetooth gps, for example the nokia LD-3W. Also the higher update rate GPS's would be nice to compare.

As of the results, I'd conclude that Nexus S definitely has the same GPS chip and almost the same firmware as the SGS's, but antennas have definitely been improved. Atleast now the GPS on all SGS series devices, including the Nexus S, are capable of running a "satnav" properly. Now if I only could get my compass and accelerometer working on my SGS / JPX :D
[Nexus S General] cavanman:
I'm planning on getting an external bt GPS module for autocross, I'll report back then.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] atlmatt:
What is it with some of the owners, and developers of the MT3G? Seems in every active thread that we have people bickering, and nit picking each other. I don't know if this is going on in the other forums, but really is it called for? This phone already has a lack of development. The damn G1 gets more attention fro developers than our phone and that is about a 3 year year old phone.

I appreciate all the developers that work on our phones trying to keep those of us without the funds to buy a new phone busy with new ROMS, Themes, Ports and whatever else.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] thegreenfamily04:
I agree, and patience is a virtue... which nobody has evidently.

I appreciate everything that the devs and other members do here, I'm not smart enough (Yet) to do my own deving so I'll be happy with whatever anyone puts out with no *****ing or complaning.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] atlmatt:
What ever happened to respect?

When the G1 dropped I was one of the first couple thousand owners shipped, I was rooted the day I found this site, and flashed a new ROM every freaking day it seemed. There was a fury of activity over there, and even there was a little bit of this going on. But then it was more so noobs not reading and asking questions and bugging the developers. We lost a couple great developers from those beginning days, but also spawned new talent.

We all have a common goal here. To push our phones beyond anything the manufacture thought possible (look at what the G1 is doing) But it seems all we are doing is trying to knock each other down.

I wish I had the time to rehash some of the programming skills I have lost over the last couple of years due to the closing of my computer and the opening of a HVAC company. Sense that is not an option I rely on the developers here.

I would love to see this phone brought back to life.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] rolfd:
Just to add to this, if you ever see a post you are not happy with, or is what you believe to be nit-picking, flaming, trolling, abusive, rude etc... Use the report a post button and it will be flagged for me or a senior moderator to deal with.
