[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bmerz:
Thank you! I am also using Chrome, and most of the sites I go to (that are secure) show as green. When I just logged into my Gmail, it's showing as green now too. I'd guess perhaps since Gmail displays ads at the top - maybe that particular ad was causing it to show it as red.

So I guess I won't worry about it then - just thought I should ask here, just in case. Again - thx! :D

Hey dear fellows!

Do you use any weather widget? I find the one Motoblur gives you very accurate and so I still use it. I have a very annoying bug though. The widget works in every size you want it except in 2x2. And I want one exactly 2x2. Believe me, I tried out every single weather widget that there is on the market, but none is fantastic and sized 2x2 at the same time.

Is there any chance for me getting it 2x2? I need users with coding or programming skill I guess.

Does the widget work 2x2 for you? For me it says, problem loading widget...So incredible...it even works 1x2... Any guess?

Cheers,

Kon
[Droid 2 General] lizard1:
Do you have your columns and rows of your display set to five instead of four. Some people run five columns or five rows. If you are say set to five columns, a 2 by 2 widget would be looking to take up half of your screen, or 2 1/2 columns. You can not create a widget 2 1/2 columns wide, at least not as far as I know. Try that, hope it helps.

Edit: look in launcher settings. I hit the menu to get there on my phone, and im using adw launcher. If you're stock, I can't remember exactly where launcher settings are. Sorry.
[Droid 2 General] oTToToTenTanz:
Oh thanks for that hint, I have the ADW Launcher as well but no luck. It all looks messed up in 5 columns. I might just have to live with it =)

Please any one help me how to do that

Thanks in advance

But There's Already A Facebook Chat App Available!

I'm Thinking You Could Maybe Download It, And extract The Files

My phone loses battery at a phenomenal rate. Overnight it goes from 100% to 75%, then this morning it went from 70% at 9:00 to 10% at 12:00, what's draining it so badly, in both cases it's been inactive.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruchern:
Check if your phone keeps syncing with your accounts.

That is one area which drains the battery.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamranh3:
I left Wi-Fi off so it wouldn't be that
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mngmng:
Battery is disaster... I have same problems.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CitizenLee:
Could be the /INIT bug, which will go away if you enable USB debugging.

Press Menu then:

Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging (tick it)

Also, check your sync settings as iAltair suggested.

Press Menu then:

Settings > Accounts & Sync

Turn off anything you don't use and for the stuff you do use set a reasonable sync time like 3hrs.

Don't forget to check calendar sync settings too as when I first set up my phone it added calendars I didn't want to use. To do so, open the calendar and press menu.

You can also check battery usage but I can't remember how since I used BetterCut to create a homescreen shortcut for it. It's in the settings somewhere though!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] legga:
Could also be the problem with HTC Sense sync. Try to disable that completely. For me that was the problem which for some reason made the CPU work at nearly 100% constantly. After I disabled that my battery lasts 18-20 hours during heavy use.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
It will still sync over wi-fi which will drain battery, also wi-fi itself will drain battery if left on

I have this problem when I do OTA 1.72. Right now I'm still in1.72, but with root s.cid,etc...etc..etc... and I see and high use of battery. Read a couple oft thread about and:

disable all sync (htc,google,weather,news) but it's on for market.

On and OFF usb debug

So try everythig.

Today I found the setting/phone info/battey/battery usage.

ALL is fine, all IS under 10% except DISPLAY, it's run from 55 to 69% !?!?!? Possible?

Possible tweak?

How much % your dispaly use?

ROM revolution 2.0.4

Andorid 2.2.1 - 1.72

kernel....haven't the phone in my hand, it's charging at 1st floor.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cattleprod:
also check email setting as the on-peak(checks every 15mins) and off-peak(can't remember think every hour) but on-peak starts at 8am-8pm this is by default. depending how many emails you have, this could drain battery quite a bit too.

and doesn't matter if you have wifi and moblie data off the apps will still try an sync.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wiwaxia:
Do nothing except install currentwidget to log use of battery, for report here.

impossible not to set the clock and time widget on your desktop.

Than you
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruchern:
iirc, you cannot put in HTC widgets.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poetter747:
There are some very similar widgets. Try Fancy Weather or Beautiful Widgets
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olivierlee:
The answer is no. Sense widgets require the Sense launcher to work correctly.

Although "unofficial" this looks like the real deal. Specs are almost identical to the Vibrant except the Plus has FFC for video chat and 4G (HSPA+) Is Sammy kicking us Vibrant users to the curb in favor of the Plus? The Plus officially has Froyo while we're still stuck on Eclair.

[Vega General] Lennyuk:
Yes its time for a Vega poll :P

For those that want a definition of "mod" - I mean running anything other than stock, i.e. new rom, root or installing Gapps (Google Apps)

To give some background into why I have done this poll, I wondered how many people out there like me believed the vega was only a viable android tablet because we already knew it had root and can easily have GAPPS placed on it.

There must be some people who purchased one and then later discovered xda or modaco, or even some who will refuse to root (but the latter is unlikely).
[Vega General] remlap:
What do you exactly mean by "To Mod" as in put custom rom on there or add on packs?
[Vega General] YorkieUK:
I got a taste for using custom ROMS from my old Samsung Omnia (made great by this site :) )

The fact that there was a custom ROM with market and flash access ready added a lot more weight to an already bargain purchase. I am so glad I didnt waste another £200 on the iPad :D
[Vega General] bakedecake:
I would never buy a phone or tablet that was not supported by either xda or modaco. That's not to say I wouldn't put villainrom or cyanogenmod on my Vega should they become available, I use miui on my desire. The Vega wasn't on xda when I bought it but I'm really pleased it's on here now.
[Vega General] fracmo2000:
Like bakedecake, im the same. I wouldnt buy a device unless it was or was more than likely going to be supported by xda/modaco.

The only flaw with the vega is the screen...not the greatest. Apart from that top notch.

I see that at CES Windows said it will now support arm/nvidia tegra cpus in someform in the future...maybe win8. If we could get that on the vega at some point it would be one hell of a tablet for £250.

Rock Player will play what you need, but it costs money on the market. Otherwise, you could use the doubleTwist app and doubleTwist PC program combo and that will convery your files for free and upload them to the phone.
[Captivate General] t-readyroc:
I've been doing a metric ton of reading before I flash my first rom. I was all set to flash P10.1 when I read a few posts by DG that led me to believe that Cog3 might be right around the corner.

Now I've read a further few posts by DG that state that Cognition is dead, because (his reasoning) Cog was always a pure-Captivate rom, & the latest rom he's working on isn't purely Captivate-based. Another few of his posts & accompanying posts by other users in those threads have led me to believe that whatever he's got cooking will be based on the "official" Rogers FroYo release. Maybe it's mostly based from that stock rom but has other add-ons from the i9000 line (i.e. to make it not pure-Captivate)?

After all my reading, I think that flashing a Captivate-based rom would be the way to go, if only for the fact that it would include the ability to utilize the sound processor (afaik, there aren't i9000-based roms that can do this, correct?).

Anyway, I'm sitting here twiddling my thumbs since Monday waiting to see what DG's got in the oven & figured I'd start a thread to see what you all thought. This will be my first flash, & I don't plan to do a ton of switching around, so I want to get it "right" the first time.

tl;dr What's next from DG??
[Captivate General] ninjuh:
Just know that once you flash a rom, it wont be your last. DG roms are very good, along with Phoenix & Serendipity(my favorite).

I've flashed a handful of DG roms & I personally always find myself flashing back to one of Mikeys roms, he really knows his stuff.
[Captivate General] eramming:
This is what we all said before we popped the cherry!LOL
[Captivate General] Delgoth:
Well last I thought DesignGears was working on the Gingerbread ROM for Galaxy S Phone ported from the Nexus S. And Supercurio was working with the Cyanogen Team on the project as well so maybe they're all in kahootz now. They haven't posted an update on it in awhile so maybe it's coming along good.

But it would be nice to get ahold of that Rogers Froyo, at a good stable point. At least then we'd have everything built for our Captivates specifically.
[Captivate General] t-readyroc:
Right, & I believe that this is what's happening now. The Rogers Froyo that was just officially released via Kies is what I think DG's working with.

Am I totally off-base w/the Captivate/i9000/sound processor bit?

& yeah, I know what you all mean about constantly switching around, but I really only flashed a handful of times w/my old HTC. Guess I'm lazy ;)
[Captivate General] donharden2002:
I started off as a noob, and basically still am. My first flash was cog 2.8 I believe. Now its something different every other day. You can't stop yourself one you've started.

Its an addiction for sure. Best of luck flashing once and that's it. I hope that works better for you than it did for me.

I'm so addicted that I got my wife a captivate also so I can try things on hers to see the differences from what I'm running.
[Captivate General] boborone:
I'm digging the work being done on the armani rom.

[Captivate General] silverslotcar:
As the poster above stated, many devs are working on an Armani JL1 rom right now. I am unsure what DG is doing/planning though. Just putting it out there.
[Captivate General] JohnnyDanger:
Just like t-readyroc I've been holding off on my first flash. I don't think I can wait for official froyo any longer. I just keep thinking that once I flash a newer, more stable, rom will be released. So I don't know if I should wait or just take the plunge.

I'm still reading around on the most stable release. Any one have recommendations on a rom that is stable and easy to install.
[Captivate General] t-readyroc:
My choices before hearing that DG's latest release is imminent were Phoenix 3.0 & Perception 10.1. Now I'm also reading that Phoenix 3.5 is imminent. Bah!
[Captivate General] JohnnyDanger:
Great, thanks t-readyroc for making my decision even harder. Lol
[Captivate General] cbruce80:
I flashed my first rom the other day (Serendipity 2.0) from stock, and the difference has been NIGHT & DAY! It blows my mind that Samsung can put out somthing THAT crappy compared to what their device is capable of.

Then yesterday I flashed a new modem and kernel. I'm hooked.
[Captivate General] JohnnyDanger:
What's the benefits of a new modem and kernel?
[Captivate General] sublimaze:
yeah, right...

come back in a couple of months and read your own post, you will lol :p
[Captivate General] sublimaze:
if you keep waiting for what's around the corner, you will never get anywhere. stop torturing yourself and flash something. if you don't like a rom, you can always go back to stock and try something else
[Captivate General] ccdoggy:
For what its worth I think it would be great to have Supercurio's audio tweaks integrated into the FireBird Kernel. Truly an enhancement.
[Captivate General] t-readyroc:
See, for me, it's going to be the constant app/music/data restores every time that'll prevent me from being a flash-whore...

Anyway, to get back OT, one of the reasons I was really interested in P10.1 was the fact that the launcher works in landscape mode. Are there others that do the same?

& again back OT: Captivate/i9000 roms & the use (or lack thereof) of the Captivate's hardware audio processor - are there any kernels that work with i9000 roms that make use of it? Or are all i9000 roms stuck doing the processing in software?
[Captivate General] Pirateghost:
purchase titanium backup pro

it takes about 20 minutes from start to finish to flash a new rom for the complete process.
[Captivate General] zelendel:
I said the same thing, "gonna find my fav rom and stick with it" That was a few years and phones ago and still flashing like crazy lol
[Captivate General] Delgoth:
But see, flashing whole new roms for the most part is almost a waste of time. Because usually why do you flash a new rom?

From the looks of a lot of ROM threads, going from release to release all the changes a lot of times are the installed system apps, and the themes to go with them. Yes, occasionaly there is a bigger release that warrants a new kernel or something of that nature.

To me, as an end user, ROM's could all use the same base rom (which they don't) and most people wouldn't know the difference. So find a ROM that doesn't force close on you, and flash the themes and apps you want into your ROM.

Personally I went from Flashing every ROM out there, and then just sticking to one that works, is deodexed so I can do whatever I want to it, and won't cause me to throw my phone in the trash.
[Captivate General] nkrick:
What we need is a good, stable SGS kernel that supports all SGS variants with all drivers, etc, built in, and a AOSP Android build. From there, any apps and themes can be added at will. Unfortunately, this may not ever happen since Samsung doesn't release their driver sources.
[Captivate General] Pinepig:
Even less if you save your update zip on your external SD card.

TI backup pro and root explorer are the two must haves from the market, they both make life so much easier when flashing and changing stuff around.
[Captivate General] Pirateghost:
why save it on your external when it will stay on your internal as long as you dont do a master clear?

i say 20 minutes because usually the batch backup in TiBu takes a little while.
[Captivate General] Phoenix-Lead:
I have a mostly working Rogers 2.2, slightly themed. Only issue so far is wifi does not work. 3g works, video and camera works and it is CWM flashable. I would put it out to everyone but I want wifi working first.
[Captivate General] Pinepig:
I rarely one click back to stock (only if there is a problem) master clear damn near every time. I rarely have problems. Ymmv
[Captivate General] SkitchBeatz:
do you usually un-voodoo?
[Captivate General] veener79:
Agreed. Once I did this my time to flash and be back up and running is about a 20min turn around time. :) It is a great app.
[Captivate General] Delgoth:
That shouldn't really be necessary if the rom you're flashing to uses the Voodoo lagfix also. Because then it already expects the lagfix. But I guess I could be wrong, I've done it before with Rom's that install the lagfix on/before first boot.
[Captivate General] Pinepig:
Same here, if I started with a voodoo rom and going to a voodoo rom I don't bother.
[Captivate General] JohnnyDanger:
I ended up flashing the Serendipity rom and am loving it. Its so much faster and cleaner.
[Captivate General] blazin619:
The rom itself isnt what lets you use the landscape mode. Just download launcher pro and youll see what i am talking about.
[Captivate General] skatcat31:
Many i9k kernels are now patched to use the sound hardware. Speed mod is one. Love the sound quality.
[Captivate General] JohnnyDanger:
So although I'm loving the speed of Serendipity, it's made my GPS even less useable. I'm going to try another rom.

I'm thinking about trying Phoenix. Do I need to remove the voodoo lagfix first since serendipity automatically installed it? Also, if I ever wanted to go back to stock with Odin's one click, does that remove the lag fix?

I appreciate your guys help.
[Captivate General] norcal einstein:
Flash to stock using Odin, and Master Clear using Odin before you install another ROM. Doing both those things will remove traces of voodoo lagfix.
[Captivate General] JohnnyDanger:
Sounds good norcal einstein. I have a feeling I'm going to be trying a bunch of new roms over the next few days. Should be fun.
[Captivate General] ewingr:
I keep reading about how great Cyanogenmod is, but it seems the effort to get to Captivate is not overly strong.
[Captivate General] movielover76:
I'm in the same boat

I literally just rooted my Samsung captivate, installed clockwork recovery, installed titanium backup and did a backup and tested that the reboot recovery and download modes on my captivate are indeed working, without issue.

All ready to do my first flash, I want to try Perception 10.1 for my first flash.

I'm in tinkerer, I've only had the phone for 3 weeks, I'm not naive enough to think I won't flash constantly, I will because that's how I roll.

While I wait for my phone to charge to 100% does Perception 10.1 sound like a good choice for these goals of mine

Things I need/ want in a rom in order of importance.

HSUPA / Reliable Calls and Texts

Working Exchange Email

Working Gmail

A GPS that works at least as well as stock eclair-update1 did for me, occasionally the tracking would jump off a couple hundred feet, reroute and eventually come back within a minute, annoying but still usable as a gps in most situations for my areas of travel.

Decent battery life

Less Lag, the stock rom drives me nuts.

Themes/ keyboards / etc don't matter to me, I don't know why anyone would want that I can customize my own phone thanks :)

Cheers, Happy flashing everyone
[Captivate General] delugeofspam:
I've never used Perception, but I love Cognition (same dev) and if you use an i9000 kernel (like speedmod) you can run an HSUPA-capable modem with it. If you're fine with HSDPA, stock Cognition will treat you VERY well. Voodoo lagfix by default, great GPS. Cognition really flies.
[Captivate General] k2snowboards88:
I'm very disapointed that dg won't continue updating the only true captivate rom. There are a lot of us that have phones that for whatever reason, continually lose signal and have to be restarted using any i9000 rom. cog was the only captivate rong that worked for us, and really appreciated his work updating it from time to time. Now there aren't any actively developed captivate roms. It's too bad.
[Captivate General] gibson3659:
I'm sure someone will pickup the official update when it comes out and make it worth while.
[Captivate General] emuneee:
