oh, i guess i havent got to the last page then ^^ thanks

i know bout the psd files, but i really dont know bout photoshop, so its kinda useless for me

i'm guessing you're making it on your own coz their psd is 3x1 and 1x2 while some of your icon looks like 2x2
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] natious:
What launcher are you using, tomorrow i plan to whip something up like this, but im using adwEX and have 10x8 set so they most likely wont work for you unless you have the same number of cols/rows.

Do you have photo shop installed? It really isnt that hard to use, if you want todo basic things
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] xeexou:
what size you use for your buttons?

i have playing with them style a little time but i don´t get it :(

lg
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] cameronm:
I have my screen set up to 4 cols and 5 rows and 240 dpi (182 works okay too but the icons dont quite line up)

I just used the icons from the thread mentioned above and use launcher pro with the stretch option switched on

Looks pretty good.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Justin^Tan:
hmm

im using launcher pro, so i dont think i had a problem with using 10x8

no i dont have photoshop, but im using acdsee for resizing the icons i get for not aligned well

i get these icons that aligned pretty well and its around 158x150 for 1x1 width x height

so all i do was resizing them so it wont gap too much

hehe

what i mean with the photoshop is i'm using the picture i want, giving labels to them, thats what i can't do

maybe i'll install one later and try, it shouldnt be that hard supposedly
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] natious:
I whipped this up this morning, if you would like id share it with you and ill even make a couple icons, its still a wip i have atleast 20 more icons to make.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Justin^Tan:
sure ^^

why not

the more the merrier hehe

thanks before

just a quick update
[HD2 General] piotrek255:
Hi

Why i suspect this is another story, the thing is I think that one guy installed spy software on my HTC HD2 without my knowledge, how can i check if such software was installed and how to remove it?

I have windows mobile 6.5 on my HTC HD2
[HD2 General] twisted89:
Cant say I've ever come across spyware on a phone before but either way I'd suggest just flashing a new rom to the phone to clean any current software off and also wipe your SD card.
[HD2 General] backlashsid:
hard reset !probably !!
[HD2 General] kately:
The safest way is resetting your phone. Or you can bring your phone to the store and ask them to cheak it.
[HD2 General] bib*oops:
Best advice and fastest way to get rid of anything!!!

Good luck!
[HD2 General] Jegger:
Hey , just get it out of your phone,then everything will be ok. 4 months ago, my father installed an iKeyMonitor on my phone and he knew whatever I does on my phone, and then my friend suggest me to uninstall it from my phone, then I use my phone safely.:p
[Droid 2 Global General] ryan_mitchell:
i have a I1 motorola and its running android 1.5 but sinced it is a nextel phone it also runs on an iden netork as well is there a way to upgrade to the android 2.2 software to make it faster or not if anyone has an answer for me i would appreciate it
[Venue Pro General] Mann_Kel:
Hi everyone, I'm new to these forums and the DVP, I just got mine Thursday.

I seem to have every issue under the sun with this phone. Wifi crashes, buggy marketplace and constantly changing signal. With all of these issues I wasn't sure how to judge battery life. What has everyone been getting? I can only get about 3-4 hours of life with no wifi, bluetooth or any web browsing. I was running zune the whole time and playing music as well as having location active.
[Venue Pro General] omniconn:
2-3 Hours of internet usage with wifi and bluetooth off.

7-8 hours standby time. Went to sleep at night; woke up in the morning and battery died.

Issue with constantly changing signal from 0G to EDGE to 3G, Dropped a few calls.

I use this phone in the New York City area, so the signal from Tmobile should have full bars. Also, my apartment is the on the highest level and the highest building of the borough.
[Venue Pro General] raremage:
I easily get through a full day with a single charge, including maybe around 60 minutes of talk time on weekdays. I've had days where I did not charge the night before, had around 40% battery and made it well into the afternoon without an issue.

So the life you're seeing sounds exceptionally poor to me based on my experience (or mine is uncommonly good)
[Venue Pro General] Lionstone:
That sounds short to me. I leave my WiFi on all the time (too lazy to turn it on and off), but Bluetooth off since I don't have anything that uses it. The heaviest use I ever had was Xbox Live games for about 3 hours (don't judge! I was in the car headed to visit family!), Kindle for about an hour that night, and probably about 60 minutes of talk and text. I don't really browse the Web on the phone. It was off the cord from 6 am to 10 pm, and I put it back on the cord with the barest sliver of battery left.
[Venue Pro General] goldaar:
I'm getting just over a full days charge with about 2-3 hours of XBox Live + Zune, plenty of emails and texts (probably 50 a day? I've never really counted). I don't really get the signal problems reported by a lot of users, and I rarely use WiFi (every once in a while to start a game download because it makes me, but then I just flip off WiFi and finish over the "4g" in my area).

I also surf probably an hour or so. Exchange is set to as items arrive, gmail every 30, live mail manual.
[Venue Pro General] 937dytboi:
My battery life isnt so good, but my phone isnt always in 3g it bumps to Edge a lot in which i think affects the battery life. The battery life is so-so
[Venue Pro General] Wyn6:
I received my VP this past Thursday the 12th. So, have had it for 4 days. I decided to test the batt life out yesterday. I took it off the charger at exactly 9AM my time.

I talked on the phone (not sure how long total, an hour or so, I think), sent text messages (maybe 20+), shot just over a minute of 720p video, took two pics, used the internet extensively, played a few games for about 30 minutes, downloaded some apps.

Wi-fi stays on, location is on as well.

My battery died at approximately 9:48p.

So, 12:30 hours with pretty extensive use. I'd say that's pretty good for a smart phone.

So, maybe your case is an exception. Incidentally, I've only had one crash since I had it. Hit the wifi toast message at a friends house when that popped up and then hit back real quick because I didn't wanna do anything with wifi. Phone locked up and I cycled the power on then off.

Otherwise, I haven't had a single issue with it.

I also have wifi at my house and never turn it off on the phone.

So, keeping fingers crossed.
[Venue Pro General] fathamburger:
Been using it for 3-4 days straight in NYC so far, to me the battery life is pretty bad even compared to the developer phone I previously had. Generally i'm out about 8-12 hours a day. Moderate picture taking, not more than 20 mins of game playing and very light phone use. It does get better if you remember to turn off the music when you power down the phone into standby mode, but for the most part this thing struggles to make 8+ hours. If I was going out into the wilderness, I would not be relying on this phone, a $100 android phone would probably be the sweet spot between data capability and battery life in that case.

The developer phone I used to have that I used more heavily could easily get into the 12 hour+ range. The Dell does pack a better screen and keyboard however, with the screen probably being the bigger factor there. If anything the ****ty blurry camera is my biggest issue at the moment
[Venue Pro General] Mann_Kel:
I think we should set up a test to see how peoples batteries perform. I will start a new thread with a poll
[Venue Pro General] MO3iusONE:
Yesterday was my first day of having this phone. I took it off the charger around 530pm and it was close to dying around 11pm.. I only did some light browsing and texting through Google a Google voice app..maybe the app itself is what drained my battery who knows.. I hope it continues to improve over time.
[Venue Pro General] DeekoVB5:
My battery life has been fantastic - literally the best I've had on a phone in years (including brief stints with the Samsung Focus and HTC HD7). I easily get through the whole day on a charge with moderate usage, whereas my HD2 needed some mid-day juice to make it through.
[Venue Pro General] bbowman:
i can barely get through a day on a full charge. I'm not complaining because this phone does a heck of a lot, but my one year old Touch Pro 2 could easily go 2 full days with moderate use.

however if i'm in airplane mode i'm sure i can go 2+ days. when i'm in weak 3G coverage areas I see the signal indicator bounce all over the place from G/EDGE/3G, i'm guessing this is what is causing the battery drain. hopefully a software patch/upgrade will address this later on?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mattmartin77:
Honestly, that's the first thing I wanted also. Then i saw how almost every app is free or a donate version. Just help the author out a little, especially since google doesn't take a huge cut of the profits like crapple.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] c0de_junkie:
lol wow this is the last place to look for warez... i suggest u follow mattmartin77's advice and just pay the small fee so that the devs that make the apps u like can keep making them.....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kyouko:
Instead of buying a 99c cheeseburger from BK or McD you can spend it on an app that someone put quite some time into \o/ :D

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pCarson92:
Wrong place to ask this buddy...

You want to pirate apps that developers pour COUNTLESS hours of time into because you are too much of a cheap ass to spend 1 DOLLAR on someone's hard work? Some people just don't have any ethics or morals whatsoever, it is really quite sad.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ranger61878:

[HTC Aria General] mellowdude88:
Hi there,

It's probably something simple, but most things are easy when you know how!

Unrevoked does not see my Aria.

Running Unrevoked 3.32 under Ubuntu 10.04.

The USB debugging is ON in the phone.

I have tried to run reflash from the terminal using 'sudo reflash' but it will not run that way, doesn't even start.

Any ideas?

(the last time I was here, I was getting the windows 6 hack for my Audiovox Starcom 6700! I still have it by the way and it still works as a pocket PC just fine.)

Ted
[HTC Aria General] mellowdude88:
One more thing.

I upgraded the rom to 1.25.502.12 tonight, hope that didn't kill this method.

Oh, it's 32 bit Ubuntu.
[HTC Aria General] mellowdude88:
First of all, I ran it on the wife's windows (yecch) machine and everything worked great!

Whooo Hoooo!

Second, I kept looking and found this on the unrevoked page:

I'm running Linux and it won't detect my device!

Either run the program with root permissions, or add appropriate udev rules to the file /etc/rules.d/51-android.rules. Instructions are available at the Android Developers website.

So, I probably would have figured it all out anyhow...

Maybe this will help someone else.
[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
Good information. Thanks for sharing! I'm sure it will help some other newbie down the road.
[Gen8 General] naosu:
Hello boys,

We have Root thanks to $aur0n and their lovely UrukDroid. I'm running 0.1 and I have been fooling around with getting a Gamepad to work via USB host.

I have a PowerA 3in1, the full keyboard works, no mods no anything, but the gamepad does not. ~~I repeat only the keyboard works.~~

however!~ With Root and a bit of dabbling I found Event5 in /dev/input/

Look for your self, go to terminal with a usb gamepad and type in terminal

'cat /dev/input/event5'

It might be different for you, but mine shows a direct correlation between key presses and text.

so that means we can write a script to capture the gamepad presses and convert them into keypresses... yes?

My Scripting languages suck at best. But I am sure we can get something working seeing how we have root.

Good Luck =)

Note: I am dumb, and I typed ush for usb...
[Gen8 General] Tzbob:
I too had a rough idea about this, didn't act on it though.

My idea involved the JoyDev module though for analog support but I haven't tried anything yet and probably won't. Investigate yourself and let us know!^^
[Epic 4G General] razorseal:
both running 2.2 (epic on dk28)

epic gets 991-1000 and the evo just scored 1241... wtf?!

the evo isn't EXT4 is it?

the epic is currently RFS... I'm having problems going to EXT4
[Epic 4G General] XtaC318:
The Quadrant was made specifically for the Snapdragon process; which the Evo uses if i'm not mistaken.

Besides; they don't prove real world performance. I've gotten my hands on numerous evo's and all seemed to be 'laggy' they arn't nearly as responsive as my Epic.
[Epic 4G General] Electrofreak:
Quadrant scores do not accurately represent Snapdragon vs the Galaxy S Hummingbird (or any other Cortex-A8 like those in Verizon's Droid lineup). Certain functions such as the Virtual Floating Point extension in Snapdragon allow for artificially inflated Linpack scores which do not represent real-world performance. Additionally, the RFS file system that Samsung uses on the Galaxy S phones is not well-understood by Quadrant, resulting in drastically lower scores.

For example, when we switch to EXT4 from RFS, our FroYo Quadrant scores can jump from 1100 to the 1600 range (which kicks the pants off that EVO). The actual performance increase however is hardly perceptible.

In short, Quadrant sucks, and Linpack is susceptible as well. For ****s and giggles, a little while back I made a minor modification to my Epic and produced a Quadrant score of 2597, which is currently listed as the 10th highest score on SmartphoneBenchmarks.com, and is the highest stock clock Quadrant score recorded. I accomplished this score utilizing a simple hack devised by a few developers here on XDA that fools the Quadrant application by utilizing a ramdrive for the I/O test. I posted about it on their forums and was advised by an administrator that they are aware of the problems with Quadrant and are releasing their own benchmark tool.

Android runs on top of a virtual machine so really what you're testing is virtual machine performance, and currently that virtual machine is tweaked for Snapdragon. With the Nexus S now a Google flagship phone, we'll likely see the VM better optimized for Hummingbird in the near future, and in fact, Gingerbread had a few more JIT enhancements as well.

Hummingbird is a slightly better performing chip MHz for MHz than the first-generation Snapdragons, if by a small amount. However it is significantly more power-efficient. Second-gen Snapdragons do draw even in terms of efficiency and performance, but both are going to be blown away by the Cortex-A9 Tegra phones we'll be seeing this spring.

EDIT - So I just noticed that SmartphoneBenchmarks.com has released their own benchmark tool recently, Smartbench 2010. I just ran it on my phone and scored 1178 on the Productivity Index (CPU) and 2610 on the Games Index (GPU). The highest-scoring competitor, the HTC G2, scores 1045 and 1396 respectfully. DRockstar on IRC ran the benchmark on his Epic that has RFS, and scored 1133 and 2521. So, this benchmark tool actually performs fine on RFS. Amazing! Grab it off the Android Market!
[Epic 4G General] tps70:
Electrofreak,

I just wanted to thank you (I pushed the button, too!) for this post. I'm trying to decide between three phones for my Sprint upgrade next month. My three candidates are the Epic, Evo, & new Evo Shift.

I was not aware of everything you stated, so it helped me look at the Epic in a different light.

Again, thanks. :D
[Epic 4G General] Electrofreak:
No probs, and if you're interested in still more info, you're welcome to read an article I wrote comparing the hardware in multiple smartphones back in April (though the focus was on the EVO 4G and the Samsung Galaxy S I9000). The article is starting to get a little outdated, (neither the EVO nor the Galaxy S line had been released at that point yet) and it also doesn't cover some other details I've unearthed since then (my blog in my signature is where you'll find that) but most of it is still relevant.

http://alienbabeltech.com/main/?p=17125

Edit - I think I have an addiction to parenthesis (which I'm ashamed to admit) :p
[Epic 4G General] razorseal:
That was great!

I scored 1147/2704 but i'm rooted/rommed.

the evo scored 700/910
[Epic 4G General] Electrofreak:
That EVO on 2.2? I would have expected it to score around 1000 at least. I wonder how it would score on EXT4 running CM6...
[Epic 4G General] cbpagent72:

My wife has an Evo with CMods latest as well but only got 1089 and 1050, why so low on the second one?
[Epic 4G General] hydralisk:
My Epic scored 606\1901 in smartbench 2010. Weird... much lower productivity score than other people, but really high gaming score.

My Epic is stock.

EDIT: I ran it a few more times and watched it carefully.

603/1808

618/1954

633/1941

Seems I/O is pretty slow...
[Epic 4G General] Slvrshot:
I'm just wondering why it matters? It's not like Android has a robust collection of high performance games.
[Epic 4G General] jirafabo:
Probably because she keeps her Evo in her bra and you keep your Epic in your pocket. It's a fact (check quadrant scores) that smartphones prefer boobs to guys hips 9 out of 10 days of the week. So obviously her Evo is happier and therefor performs better than yours. Do your Epic a favor and give him some booby time and watch those Quadrant scores rise!
[Epic 4G General] ecooce:

Any suggestion?????

I'm running warm 2.2 rls5 I flashed the cube bootanime.

The question is I have seen a bunch of cool ones, dont know if it has something with the rom type i have or what but I cant get any others to work any ideas what the problem is or what I maybe doing wrong. Tried to put them all on the same way as I did the cube one. Move to sdcard wipe and flash, reboot.

if anyone knows where I can get boots that work with warm 2.2 rls5 that would be great. Thx
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nuggyunlimited:
Get a file explorer like astro, root explorer, or supermanager and copy the boot animation that you want to system, resource, customize I think that's the order then just restart your phone. If any problems let me know
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dased14:
Thx. I'll try that. Does the animation have to be made for the rom your using or the rom type cause I have seen some that say sense and something else like asop maybe.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dased14:
Maybe i'm doing it wrong I dont know. I open up astro found the bootanime I want to use tried move and copy and tried to paste it in the bootanimation in sys,cust.resource and I cant any help on this would be great thx.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cruise350:
You need to use root explorer and if your on a sense rom you have to put it in the data/animation folder on the phone not the sd card.

Dear All,

I have an LG Optimus One. I have google mail and office's microsoft exchange mail. All my contacts on the phone automatically came due to exchange server.

I wanted to sync my phone with home PC so that any new contacts created at home / office are synced.

Problem: The Optimus One does not syn with home PC. (It automatically sync with Office PC via exchange server).

Solutions tried:

1) Tried using LG PC Suite that came with the phone to sync contacts with home PC. It does not syn even a single contact.

2) Tried the updated PC sync.

3) Tried the LG outlook sync.

4) Even tried syncsquare - it also did not sync a single contact.

I have attached the screenshot for your reference.

Please let me know how to sync the Optimus One's contacts with home PC. I have both windows and Gentoo Linux at home and hence can use any OS to sync.

Thanks a ton in advance.

Regards,

Hi,

First of all go to settings->SD card and phone

storage->uncheck 'Mass storage only' option. Now connect

the phone to the PC via USB. A green android bot will

appear which will notify you that the USB is connected. Now

you have 2 options:

1)Select 'Turn on USB storage' on the phone. The green bot

will now turn orange.(Alternatively, you can open the

notification bar and press upon 'Select to copy files

to/from your computer') Now you can access your memory card

through your computer. To disconnect press 'Turn off USB

storage' on the phone

2)To connect via PC suite: When the green bot appears,

don't select 'turn on usb storage'. Just open PCsuite and

select 'connect phone'. Now you will be able to sunchronize

your phone with the PC and also be able to update your

phone.
