[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] paperecho:
I suppose its a different strokes for different folks sort of this but I just don't get it.

Why do people feel the need to know the exact amount of battery they have left? Can they just not look at their battery and see...

Green: Means your good.

Yellow: Means you need to find power soon.

Red: Means don't use your phone.

Why clutter up the notification bar any more? And don't get me started on all the "real" looking icons people try to put up there. [who needs a usb stick in their status bar. really. Its ugly.][IMO][I know some people like it. I just don't.]

For instance...the smooth sense mod. That is really a nice piece of work. The standard sense battery, the circle one, and many other mods. But no one ever made the standard sense battery without the %.

Once again I just don't get it. And some devs kill roms by adding the % as standard instead of an optional add-on. I personally have looked over many roms because of this single topic.

Any way. Discuss....
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] bomber889:
many people including me like to see the exact percent of battery we are at. Its a personal preference I guess
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] lafester:
you are dreaming if you think that number is any where near accurate.

if it was then i might agree with having a percent indicator.

there is a reason these are not stock.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] bomber889:
the battery percentages seem accurate. can you please explain how they aren't?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] jbdan:
They are just that....obsessions. We all have our OCD's

One week I want the % to see. The next I don't bother. Then back to needing it :D
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Gahh Its Lee:
Yea I'd like to know how its not accurate. My battery is charged at 100% and dies at 0% hows that inaccurate?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] superchilpil:
Because our phones die before 2% to stop you from destroying your battery and they only charge to 90% for the same reason

Unless u have a modified kernel
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] sharper4:
Speaking on behalf of the tech crowd, it just makes us feel more in-the-know.

If you're jumping in 25% increments it would indicate that 85% & 65% are both the same ... 75%. I just feel more comfortable seeing the actual number present, even if the % isn't 100% accurate.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] sunder74:
Even though this really should be posted in general or q&a... Metamorph is your friend...if you don't like a battery get a morph and apply it. If you want one from a certain rom/theme with or without % pull the framework-res crack that sucker open and go to res/drawable-hdpi/drawable-hdpi-v4 and pull the images and make your own morph or mod your framework-res apk. Its really just comes down to preferences. And this topic should be in general or q&a not themes/apps as its not really relevant to theme development imo :).
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] NilsP:
No obsession. I just like it.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] ACD168:
This is a very good question. It just comes down to personal preference, I hated it so much, I learned how to decompile an .apk basically just to learn to un-hack this MOD. No idea why I dislike it so much, I think it's because I'm a stock kinda guy.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Troy89:
haha I did the same thing on Skyraider, love the rom hate the battery %
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] RyanTX:
So what does bump charging do? I thought it made it go over the 90% threshold that you speak of.

Oh, and I love the % showing.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] bomber889:
according to this thread, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=871051 our batteries actually do charge to 100%, but then stop and that is why the battery goes down so much after you unplug it.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] paperecho:
Section Nazi. ;) j/k A mod can feel free to move this to any section they see fit.

In some cases I have done this. But in others, such as the smooth sense mod, I tried and could never get it to work. I went into the thread and asked for a %less version and not one person attempted to help. Other users requested it as well. [NOTE: I stopped going to the thread due to poor battery life on sense roms. It may have been addressed sense then.]

I just don't understand why devs wont make it an option to have either. By only offering one or the other you cut your possible user base.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] orcsbane13:
I agree fully. I wont use a rom that has a battery % with no option to remove it. I love everything else about the smooth sense mod except that.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
First: I am a absolute n00b

I want to learn about porting Android for Nokia phones. I want to do something like porting Android for Nokia 5233/5228 phone, which my friend has. I saw its specifications and found that It has got NAND memory, external SD card support, It runs on ARM11 processor.

I tried to do some searching and found Android supports ARM Architecture, so I think the porting is possible (may be difficult). I then headed to the Android site and tried to learn about porting, but I couldn't make out much out of it.

Can someone on this forum help me out. Even if there is no direct solution, I would be happy with learning how to port the OS. May be there is no solution to the thing I am talking about, still you could help me learn porting.

P.S: Kindly don't post something like "What you talk is impossible, get out of this thing." I am serious in learning things.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] divyanshu308:
hey buddy lots of people want to port android to s60v5 phones.

the thing is that firstly symbian doesn't allows any other os so you need dediated separate external hardware to wipe symbian off the nokia phone then you have to be prepared to port android to it.

Keep this thing in mind that you need to convert all the necessary files to the resolution of the nokia phones.

if you wanna run an application then also yo need to convert it to your native resolution only..

its gonna be a quite tiresome job.

i wish you all the best...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbsrailfan:
well, then i guess porting a QVGA version of android on to a QVGA Nokia Device (like the C5) or a landscape QVGA (say, from Galaxy Pro) on to a Landscape QVGA symbian device could ease things off a bit?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] divyanshu308:

Not starting

my phone is not sarting after installing nopkia evolve
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SMillerNL:
The resolution would be the least of his problems. The real problem is. Android needs source. Although you could just hope that, for example, an android version for Samsung Galaxy Ace would work. If it doesn't work. You have a completely wiped phone that is basically a bricked one.

Then there are the problems of incompatible components. While Nokia build their software with that phone in mind, the components work together nicely. Android on the other hand was built for Nexus Phones. And since there is no open source OS from Nokia that I know of, you can't copy over drivers.

My vibrant still hasnt recieved the new market update yet, How do I install it manually?

[Android Themes] Elihue:
Ok, so I'v ben wanting to create a sexy minimal icon set for my own purposes and if it turns out well I'm going to release it. I just need some tips on the sizes. I'v ben looking around at the resolutions everyone else is using and they seem to be all over the place 72x72, 84x84, 115x84 ect ect.. I want them to work well on Launcher Pro, ADW Launcher and as just normal replacement icons. So I guess my question is...

How big should they be to work well, and look good and sharp for LP, ADW, and normal replacements without being to big or overkill.

Anyone ever seen this app before?

DroidTV (AppBrain Link)

I just started using it last night, but the Cops episode it downloaded this afternoon is really good quality. Might be worth the paid $6 subscription service ($6 buys you 6 months of access to their "premium" episodes).

Another similar app TV Stream Lite (AppBrain Link), but this one is more like an aggregate, just linking you to megavideo videos of episodes that opens in the application (if that makes sense, try it and you'll see what I mean)

Just thought I'd share :D

From your phones browser go to shadownet.ro

Free TV with lots of channels.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] b84cops:
shadownet.ro looks like a great link...

question: why do some of the channels work and others not? when some load, i just get the green, down arrow. i click it, but nothing ever happens.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] jlevy73:
Which channel specifically are you having issues with. The most part I use that for the NFL network and it works great.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] b84cops:

i have an option to reboot system now, apply sdcard.update.zip or wipe my data and cache partition.

Sounds like you didn't install cwm. Your on the stock recovery. You can't use rom manager to flash cwm for you on stock kernel. Run the one click root and cwm. use the three finger to get into cwm.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OGCF:
My Focus was just sent in for replacement and I just found out that, for a science course I'm taking this semester, I can use a smartphone's web browser instead of one of those overly expensive 'clickers' they usually force you to buy.

So can anyone go to the link below using the WP7 web browser and follow the instructions on the page?

Here's the test page link: www.rwpoll.com/test.aspx All you have to do is go to the page and follow the instructions. It won't take any longer than 2 minutes. It's from ResponseWare, the company that provides those 'clickers' and it's a test page to see if the web browser is properly displaying all of the info.

If you're suspicious, here's a pic of what the site should look like and you can Google it yourself if you like:

http://i52.tinypic.com/52zvpt.jpg

At the end of the first page you should see a button that says 'Page Appears Correctly' and 'Page Not Appearing Correctly' so click on the one that applies to you. Then there will be this page where it tests if the browser can auto refresh and do other things. After that click on the button that says 'AutoRefresh Supported' and then you should be at the results page. Here's two links to two sample pics of what the page should look like.

http://i54.tinypic.com/2npxef.jpg

http://i56.tinypic.com/16ke3bq.jpg

Then just tell me the results. I know this is inconvenient, but this would be a HUGE help. I'd like to avoid paying $40 just for a dumb piece of plastic when I can pay half price to use it on the phone instead! Thank you in advance if you do this, you're helping out a broke college student!

Sent from my HD7 using Board Express
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OGCF:
Yeah the text colors didn't work on the Desktop IE, Chrome, or Firefox either so I guess you can ignore that. So you were also able to get to the second page and test the Autorefresh?

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OGCF:
Please?! I NEED to know this for sure by tonight!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Gate Keeper:
nrfitchett4 is correct. in windows phone you cannot enable/disable the css file retrieving. so therefore, it should always be there. so "Page Not Appearing Correctly" would be what i would click. the buttons are all gray background with black text.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OGCF:
Yes but I think it may be a problem with their test site. I tried out the site on the desktop IE8, Firefox, and Chrome and neither one gave the correct color scheme. So try using the 'Page Appears Correctly' because I did that and it let me complete the test.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j7899:

Financisto. Appbrain page

It's free (there's a donation app that doesn't add features but does support the devs, consider it if you like the app), open source and feature loaded.

Lots of account options, budgeting, places management, scheduled transactions, custom entries (awesome feature). It's really really flexible, to me it's awesome. The only thing wrong with it is the interface which I think could need an overhaul but top notch otherwise.

Edit: Btw, you can export to CSV, backup to your SD or backup to your Google Docs. Take your pick!

To the OP: You asked about AnMoney and I have been using it for a few months. I find it VERY useful for daily transactions as well as getting a handle on my personal finances. It gives me a snapshot of where my $$ is at any point in time, and it does include budget and reporting capabilities. While it would be great if those 2 features packed more options, I'm still very satisfied with the product. I forget how much it costs... but it was very reasonable IIRC. It allows transfers to/from savings/checking, loan payments, recurring entries (such as payroll or automatic debit). Very user-friendly and customizable. I also tried Mint and thought it was pretty good except for the fact that none of the credit unions I utilize permit Mint to access the accounts. Sort of defeats the purpose if you can't get your savings and checking accounts to show up lol. Hope this helps you.
