[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
240 DPI shows on our 1024x600 screen the same amount of information that is displayed on 800x480 screens that phones have.

After setting 200 DPI, I have also increased ADW Launcher defaults to 6 columns on desktop and in app drawer and everything looks much more reasonable to me.

It seems that everyone has different ideas about DPI settings they want. It is easy enough to change it. The narrow notification dropdown with dpi < 240 is annoying though.

I would like to ship with 200DPI, the fonts everywhere seem quite reasonable (similar pixel size to what you see on a phone).

Could someone tell me exactly what is Swype looking for for licensing?

It seems that some folks want their Swype back ;-) (I hate it)

So we need to figure out how to restore it. After all we paid for it, and apparently (according to latest news on XDA) Swype is cool with it.

But there are 3 versions of build finger print and Swype, ATT, TMO and Euro.

I dont feel like doing 3 builds.

Ideas?

Hmm, maybe I could keep on doing builds with mahimahi fingerprint and someone could make 3 update.zips for Swype + ATT, TMO and Euro fingerprint + 240DPI build.prop.

Then people could install my CM6 and update it with Swype if they feel like it.

Also, how does everyone feel about moving to EXT4 entirely (for data, dbata and cache)?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] hourst2:
I am going to be working on a Tmo version so the others should not be too bad to create once I am done. Will give it a look tonight after I get home.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dfullerman:
I may be asking a stupid question, but what are the advantages/disadvantages of moving all of those to ext4? I am pretty sure that that one of the advantages would be the speed/performance, but I am not sure what the real disadvantages to this would be?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] hourst2:
EXT4 would help with porting over GB, which would be nice since Sammy does not have the greatest track record of getting their products updates.

It is also faster.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
I'm all for ext4. The only real issue is that it makes switching between ROMs a pain

Unfortunately getting rid of RFS is not enough to get rid of proprietary Samsung's modules. There is also storage.ko which takes care of bml->stl translation and wear levelling.

PS Update on 1.2GHz.

I have been running my Tab with 1.2GHz kernel and it got wedged real bad. I guess it's not very stable. So I will definitely not ship 1.2GHz by default but I may be persuaded to make 1.2GHz kernel once in a while if somebody likes living dangerously.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jkurl:
Tech any chance you might consider make one for CDMA. I have the sprint tab and this mod looks awesome and would love to put this mod on my tab. If not do you have a good recommendation for one to put on my tab.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
I'm sorry but I have zero experience with CDMA devices.

CDMA Tabs are very small subset of the market so there are barely any ROMs. It seems people started working on kernels though. There are also no leaked Samsung ROMs like for GSM devices so there is no good starting point for cooks either.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jkurl:
I am not shocked that there aren't any. CDMA is being phased out anyway. Thanks for the quick response and info.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] hourst2:
Sammy and RFS are a tough combination. Sammy puts their claws in deep and switching things around can get difficult. Had anyone tried supercurio's kernel on the Tab? It is Ext4. It may be enough to port GB. Saw the Vibrant was having some luck with that, but it does not look to be moving fast, but I have not read the thread yet.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] hourst2:
Ok. I think I've got the service.jar fixes needed to correct the notification dropdown. Give me a few more minutes to test it and then I will get it to you.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] hourst2:
Is the core.jar file the same as in the Passion? It looks like it has the file structure of the Tab, not the Passion. The github does not match the folder structure. I am looking for frameworks/base/core/java/android/content/res/CompatibilityInfo.java and see it in the git, but when I extract core.jar and decompile the classes.dex file the folder structure is completely different. Any ideas?

Edit: I think I have some ideas about the notification drop down, and some concerning the camera and	BT. Heading out to get a Nook, but that should only take a few minutes to root, etc. then I will be back to the Tab.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
The framework is here https://github.com/cmsgs/android_frameworks_base

Cool about notification.

I am baking something cool right now but all I have achieved so far is that I mess of flour and honey ;-)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Landroid:
hello all!

i hope u can help me :)

i flashed cm6 from my rom (the fast and the tabious) which should be identical to roto JME (both are build from JME and both have no signed bootloaders, but my rom is deodexed and zipaligned and has some other tweaks)

after the flashing was done, my tab reboots automatically to the recovery screen and shows the excalmation mark with the android figure. when i press the home button i get the CWM menu and it says:

ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.8

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Veryfying update package...

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted.

i know that this means it checks the signatures but i thought CWM doesnt check signatures by default..

if i press reboot it reboots straight to recovery

what do i need to do to get it working properly?

Which update package do i need to select IF i can select it manually?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] roy8846:
Technomancer 2.3??? Please say its so...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
Hey,

So far I havent tried to even make zip file path work. See my scripts device/samsung/galaxytab/tools/buildimage that repackages system.img into ext4 image that can be flashed via heimdall.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] hourst2:
Mine does the same thing and I just reflash the update.zip, then gapps, then reboot.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] miguelrodas:
Sorry for the noob questions and I apologize if this has been answered previously but, is it safe to flash the cm6 beta with clockwork recovery (just flashed it along with Modaco's kernel) given that the it is a .zip file?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
NO, read the readme.txt inside and use Heimdall.

I recommend you also learn more about flashing/restoring Tabs before you start.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Landroid:
i can use this as base for a ROM right?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] miguelrodas:
Thanks for answering and the advice. I'm can barely use odin and I don't even know what heimdall is so I guess I better do some research first. Why does Samsung have to make things to difficult?

:(
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
It's not difficult, it's different. In some ways it's easier, we can flash ROMs without having to wait for a custom recovery. Rotohammer had ROMs and a backup method before CWM was even ported, let alone working ;)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
Sure, but there are better things coming ;-) so this CM6 build is kind of out of date and I will be posting new thread soon.

Do you want to join the development?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
I'd say Heimdall makes things much easier. Simple command and you Tab gets flashed, plus I can script it in bash. Heimdall is here http://www.glassechidna.com.au/products/heimdall/.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Landroid:
yes, this would be great!

but i have another question! i am familiar with building from cm source, but i needed to reinstall my workstation, resync repo, reinstall everything...

everything works like a charm, but i cant get it to compile the update.zip...

i never compiled before from CM6 source but from CM5, i never saw that before....

i think i reinstall everything tommorrow again and see if it works, if u cant help me ;)

u havent fixed to build a zip right? ;)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
No I havent even tried to make it build zips. Since the recovery 2.x seems to be partially broken. And it is just easier to use Heimdall.

I will eventually fix it but it is not highest priority right now. If you can fix it send me patches.

Hop on #ModADroid-Galaxy-Tab channel.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Landroid:
i will try to fix it, and i visit u in the mod-a-droid channel tomorrow :)

but u/we could try to use CWM 3.0.0.0 instead, its possible to flash update.zips and u can disable the ext4 conversion

Want to report some issues being faced - can be a beta tester

I have CM 6.1 beta installed on my T-Mobile Galaxy Tab. I can be a beta tester but do not know how to become one and what is expected of one.

I am also not sure where to report issues that I am facing:

Serious:

Cannot adjust screen brightness - screen brightness remains the same no matter what I adjust it to, even if I put it on automatic - it is causing the battery to discharge very fast.

Minor:

The soft buttons at the bottom do not povide any haptic feedback - I tried changing settings but that did not help.

Bluetooth cannot be turned on in Airplane mode - not sure if this is expected - I can turn on bluetooth in airplane mode in an iPhone

Nice to have:

The email application that was part of the stock firmware has some good features:

Double pane in landscape mode

Conversation mode or threads

Easier folder switching
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
Hey guys. I have moved on to CM7 so I am not developing CM6 anymore, since nobody seems to care about CM6 nowadays and everyone is asking about CM7.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] splattx_x:
Sorry to revive an old thread but Galaxy tab P1010 is (and most likely will ever be) stuck at froyo, which means no Gingerbread Bootloaders so... no CM 7 or any of the latest "good stuff".

Is the code in you github still compilable? I mean the froyo branch of course. can I access it by appending "-b froyo" if I repo your github?

I would like to give it a shot at trying to modify your build to work on my tab. They have different SOCs but the rest of the hardware is pretty similiar for what I can tell.

Hello,

I bought HTC HD2 in ebay couple of minths back but I never used it. After almost 4 months i took it out of box and started. But I am stuck with white screen and I dont know what to do. When I bought the phone i switched on and it worked properly and even i took pictures with it couple of days back. So please hlep me what to do and how to do because i dont know anything about this flashing roms and etc. Hope u understand. Thanks
[HD2 General] djind:
Please give a detailed explanation of the current situation of the phone.. when do you get a white screen.. what else do you see.. what do you press to get the white screen.. what have you done to the phone lately/in the past.. etc etc..
[HD2 General] AinsCrowbar:
If you are getting a white screen when loading a stock winmo 6.5 rom, then there is a large thread here that you could read through. You will have to search for it though.

I did have this problem once before, and I fixed it by taking out my SD card before turning on the phone. I had to format my SD card on my PC before use though.

My DHD can sync contacts down from Google.But If I add a contact on my phone it doesn't add the new additon online to my google account. Is this an android shortcoming or something I can do?

Thanks!
[Desire HD General] syklitengutt:
You have to save the new contact as a google contact, not a phone contact.
[Desire HD General] mwatson:
thanks, that option is availble for new contacts, but no apparent option to change an existing to a google contact?
[Desire HD General] syklitengutt:
Think when you look at a contact you can press in the upper right corner to make it a google contact. Or you can only show phone contacts and copy them to google contacts.
[Desire HD General] mwatson:
That option just links to other contacts. Maybe its another bug in the latest update? Thanks for your suggestions
[Desire HD General] Yoshi_523:
Just a thought... What's wrong with just using the easy to use freeware Windows app MyPhoneExplorer to backup all contacts, notes, callendar appointments to your PC? Why risk broadcasting more sensitive info into the public domain (ie the internet?). I mean telcos here are Australia are known to hold txt messages on their servers for at least a few months (who knows maybe they store all your txt messages?). Also some have services that can backup all your contacts. I just question what could happen to this info in the wrong hands.
[Desire HD General] mwatson:
I dunno?....all sounds a bit paranoid to me. anyone with the technical know how to intercept my data over the air and decode it probably isn't intrested in getting thier hands on my Auntie Mary's home number or dave from the nags head's email address.

Govenments keep texts and emails in the intrest of national security. I don't mind if thats going to stop my head being blown off by terriorsts. The Telcos probably don't have the time to sit there going through everyone's text messages and looking at what kinky gear they've bought from ebay. I wouldn't get too bogged down in that.

Is there a way to change an existing contact from a phone contact to a google contact?

Thanks
[Desire HD General] Sentenza1591:
As far as I know, there is no direct way.

If you have a lot of contacts to change from "phone" category to "google" category, a workaround is to export your contacts to sd, then import the vcf file from the sd into google on your pc. Then the contacts will sync down to your phone as google contacts.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adam86:
Good evening,

I usually use Windows Mobile devices so very new to Android, but my girlfriend has recently purchased a Galaxy S from Three. I have tried looking in the FAQ's but there is that much information I am feeling a little confused and dont want to go bricking a £380 phone.

Anyway, the phone has Three's customisation on it and it's not good to put it simply and I am wanting to return the phone to stock ROM or possibly a custom ROM.

The phone is currently running Android 2.2 as it updated when we first got it using the Samsung Klies.

Please can some of you offer advise on where to start with this as I presume I will need a backup of the ROM currently installed.

I've tested the 3 button download mode and that works fine.

Many thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tragusman:
Well with the 3br you can pretty much do anything :) I would probably flash different kernel which has 2e recovery either speedmod or cf root then install rom manager and from within that app install cwm this enables you to flash custom roms preferably jpy 2.2.1 or just use odin to flash roms that are available from samfirmware again id recommend jpy.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tehpriest:
It is worth reading everything you can before you start rather than posting in panic if it goes wrong. You can also break the three button as many have discovered lately to their loss. It is always a risk. So make sure you know wha your doing before you start and remember her warranty will probably be voided by doing any flash.

Just moved back to WinMo from Android and, while I prefer Winmo I did like the power panel that let you simply turn on and off screen brightness, bluetooth, GPS etc.

Is there something similar for the WinMo roms? I am running Dutty's Family Rom v15. I have searched but cannot find anything that sounds like this.

Whaaaat? WinMo preferred over Android. Youch!

WinMo does what Androidon't,

i wonder if anyone is going to get this joke
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
OK, my suggestion would be Cookies Home Tab plus CHT Scheduler with Add-On links. This then gives you the ability to add numerous Toggle Switches to your home screen giving you the ability to toggle on/off most of the comm functions (Airplane Mode, Bluetooth, Wifi, Phone, Data, etc) plus CHTS now has Backlight switches and many more add-on links/toggles. The only thing you can't switch on/off is GPS as WinMo apps just use this on demand anyway. This is the sort of thing you can do:

There are loads of skins around for every CHT element - start your search HERE for some ideas or make your own sets - they're just png images. Let me know if you need any help or suggestions. If you are not familiar with CHT there are also loads of widgets available, both included in the CHT install and as add-ons and more coming all the time. Whilst the list is very short compared to Android there is plenty you can do to make your home tab(s) suit you.
