This thread created in order to keep community informed on Kaoscinate development progress. Please DO NOT POST HERE.

I will try to come up with some sort of format short and informative enough to general public, so people do not need to go to IRC, tweeter or other means to gather information.

Would be cool is admin can make it sticky. And also correct spelling in title :-(
[Fascinate General] CNemo7539:

[Fascinate General] CNemo7539:
01.14.11

V2 is up. It has working lock screen, headphones. Kaos reported some problems with JIT, so do not turn it on.

Search for Wi-Fi access point doesn't work yet.

01.15.11

Bluetooth is pairing but doesn't work with headset. Kaos says that it is some issues with RFCOMM

01.17.11

Work goes on. System is able to obtain IP address and it is verifiable in shell. However Android framework is not aware that network is properly configured. DHCP is to blame. Also Kaos has some issues with RFS (which is Samsung proprietary file system), but he is aware of the problem and work on fixing it.

01.18.11

Wi-Fi is working. Camera work in progress. v3 is coming?
[Fascinate General] HardcorePooka:
Is Kaos' thread about it not enough? We need more than one place to look for new updates?

+1 to previous posts, but good effort
[Fascinate General] CNemo7539:
Let me continue some time. Let people have some choice. I'll try to provide links to educational resources and my goal to create high level picture of effort. Development thread might be used for bug postings etc.

Hi

I have a 16gb sd card.

I only have 4gb of music on it

But it says I only have 600mgbs left

How can I see what is taking up all the space on my card
[G2 and Desire Z General] joemm:
Plug you phone into your computer and mount as external storge, then use your computer to look at what files are on your sd card and what size they are. There are also file explorer apps like astro, just long press a file and look at its detail, it will tell you its size.
[G2 and Desire Z General] dsmdc5:
I checked all the folders and they definately do not add up to 16gb.

Just wondering where all my memory is at
[G2 and Desire Z General] dsmdc5:
So decided to copy the entire contents of the sd card onto a folder on my desktop

When I did this it said the entire content was 4.11gb
[G2 and Desire Z General] joemm:
Copy the files to a folder on your computer, then reformat the sdcard to FAT32, then transfer the files back onto the sdcard and see if that helps.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ianmcquinn:
Does your phone report the SD card as 16GB? Also, do you have lots of apps installed to the SD? I don't believe these will show up when you are just copying files from the mounted SD.

Also, are you running Sense? I don't know much about this since I run CM6, but doesn't the HTC Locations program store all of its maps on the SD card (presumably also hidden)? Not sure how much space this would take up as well...
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
Copy the files off of the card and format it then move the files back. Make sure there aren't any unnecessary partitions or anything either.
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
Where did you get your SD card from? Do you know for fact (using it on other phones, etc.) that its really a 16 GB card, and not a counterfeit?

What is the phone reading the SD card total space as? My 16GB card is reading as 14.82 GB total space.

Is the HD2's LCD capable of displaying true color/16 mil. colors like the HTC HD7 does when running wp7?

Thanks in advance
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Nevralgeek:
I noticed the poor colors with wp7 too... Not even 16m colors, a lot of dithering, gradients are so ugly.

HD2 Can do far better, Windows mobile and Android are able to display in 32bits.

Maybe Just a driver issue, that Can be fixed, I hope^^
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] agarp:
I like to know this too

cz Android suckz with 65k colors and if its not a hardware issue i might look into the android display driver to fix the issue
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] maxld:
It is hardware limitation.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Stoferr:
Its not a hardware limitation, luckily for us. If we look at WM 6.5 the OS doesnt natively support more than 65k colors, I think it was, which isnt a lot, but on HD2, HTC made the gallery support far more colors (I think it was 16 million) So basicly yes, the hardware should suffice, its just a matter of getting it to work.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] vartp:
Win6.5 has a software limitation of 65k colors, based on some MS website HD has a hardware limitation of 256k colors, not sure if WP7/Android use 65k or 256k, but anyway it's far less then 16m(32bit).

If you check Android you would also see ugly gradients and it was already discussed a lot, use search. And a little of IMO, even though 64k/256k is much less then 16m, I don't think you should worry about it a lot, only some gradient looks bad and it you don't know, you might not even notice, especially with WP7 which doesn't use gradients/round corners etc.

SPL limited the screen to be 65k color

and its too dangerous to do changes with spl i think
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] vespend:
But how can limit SPL ?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] zarathustrax:
The HD2 has hardware limitation of 65k colors. You will never get more on HD2. Cotulla has confirmed the 65k color limitation on HD2 screen... and he would know since he wrote the drivers for android ts.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
The HD2 has a hardware limit of 256k colours

google it and you will find it, including official MS documentation, whether thats true or not is anyones guess so i think the honest answer is no one has the first clue what the actual hardware limit is.

However, its all academic, because without any driver support we will only be able to use 65k, and to be clear, there will not be driver support, the closest phone to ours with a higher bit depth is the HD7, which has a differen panel.....now to make this a bit more intresting, changing the panel to an HD7 panel, obviously there would be significant hardware differences here but i wonder how much of it is changeable and how much is IC
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] zarathustrax:
Yes, I know about the one microsoft spec sheet that says 256k colors, but recently cotulla stated that the LCD only is capable of 56k, and that's all it will output. Cotulla does the work with all the drivers and hardware, and he has evidence by what the hardware actually outputs, so I'm going to believe what he says over what a single spec sheet that could easily be a misprint. But even if the screen is somehow capable of displaying 256k colors by using some special driver or something, if cotulla can't even figure it out or see that it's capable of that, I don't think anyone else is going to.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
that was kind of my point, even with the best of knowledge on the matter its still only an educated guess, and as you said if cotulla couldnt do it that its unlikely anyone else can, ill go a step further and say IF it is capable there isnt a single person on this planet that will do it short of HTC / panel maker giving us everything we would need.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2snowboards88:
I tried a couple of 2.2.1 roms but found I lose signal using them and the browser doesn't work quite right. when I try going back to 2.2 the apps don't restore correctly. Some restore. Most don't have their data restored correctly and some don't restore at all. TiB doesn't throw any errors. I've tried many roms and I can restore to any 2.2.1 rom but I have the same problem with any earlier rom. Is there any fix?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
I noticed this as well. I think it is due to the differences in the way the 2 handle program settings. No fix that I am aware
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2snowboards88:
I hope there's a good captivate based 2.2.1 in the future. I'm not willing to give up my app data, but I'm also sick of losing signal ever time I charge my phone. Hopefully there's a new 2.2.1 cap leak soon. Or a TiB update to handle this.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Might be awhile as all the 2.2.1 leaks are i9000 leaks and the Cap is still waiting for the source from 2.2 which we still dont have. I have never had an issue of losing signal when charging.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2snowboards88:
I've read that there are different physical modems used in some captivates. Some of them can't handle the i9000 modem software. There are a few very long threads on the issue. Unfortunately, all of the devs got the lucky modems, so none of them care about the issue.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GGXtreme:
A bit late, but I had virtually no problems batch-restoring a TiBu from (over 150 apps) a 2.2.1 ROM to a 2.2 ROM with the experimental 'Migrate' option checked in the preferences. I was even able to restore contacts and dialer history.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2snowboards88:
I don't know what's going on for me then, because I've tried that too. It doesn't work for me.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
Contacts and dialer history, and alarms can be restored. These are the only two "system" apps I keep backing up and restoring on various 2.2 and 2.2.1 ROMs. But on some ROMs, apps get restored, but not data. And sometimes some apps data is restored, while of others apps isn't.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GGXtreme:
Hmm, well a bit of an update. It seems to vary from ROM to ROM. I restored a backup from a JPY 2.2.1 ROM (Darky's 8.1) to a Rogers 2.2 ROM (Firefly 1.5) and everything restored perfectly. I later restored the exact same backup to an Armani 2.2 ROM (Andromeda) and while all apps restored successfully, some apps were missing their data. On top of that, restoring LauncherPro backups seems to be sporadic with most ROM's only restoring the homescreens and first dock, others restoring all docks and even internal settings.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hugo87:
You may want to try simi folder. Its free in the market. It doesn't do scrollable widgets but it let you put apps in a folder and when u tap on that folder (ex. Games) it brings up all the games you put in it and it let's you scroll through them and choose. Its pretty customizable and let's you choose which icon you want for any folder you make. Maybe this will help a bit.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SwimDrewid:
4 options (i currently use 'em all)

Multiple icons (pay) shrinks the icon and lets you put 16 icons in the place of 4 (invaluable, imo)

Launcher pro (plus is pay) has a 15-icon scrollable dock (2 actions per icon (up to 30 apps available on the dock)

Quickdesk (gives you 2 pages (1 portrait, 1 landscape)) when you hit home key (from anywhere)

Adw ex (has an (unlimited?) scrollable dock for apps (this surplanted launcher pro as my launcher)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjobanion:
There is an app called Zeam(Home app) - free on the market - that has a scrollable dock. You can put 10-15 icons on it and scroll through the dock itself. Main screens scroll as well, but the dock will scroll also (separately)

Hope this helps!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sweepingzero:
Thanks. That's exactly what I want just wanted to do it not in the main dock. Can I have a second "dock"? Lol
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lamensterms:
I realise this thread is years old... but I figured for the sake of anyone googling this query - I would throw in my 2 cents.

There is an app called Launch-X which I think might be what you're looking for. I'm not sure if Launch-X is able to scroll horizontally, but the vertical scroll works really well.

2) EBI1 kernel

3) reboot phone

Baseband: 1.39.00.04.26

Kernel: 2.6.29
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
First, backup all of your third party apps. Then make sure the rom file and kernel you want to flash is on the root of your SD card. Once those things are accomplished, enter recovery by turning off your device and then while holding the volume down button, press the power button. Once you've entered in recovery, make a nandroid backup of your current setup in case you want to revert back to the way you had your device or in case something goes awry. Afterwards, wipe data/factory reset then wipe cache, dalvik cache and battery stats at least twice each. Do not reboot. Now flash the rom, but do not reboot. If you're not going to use the default kernel, then flash the kernel you plan to use. Make sure it is compatible with the rom and radios associated with the rom. (Your current setup thay you posted shows outdated information.All EVOs should have the froyo update and the newer baseband radios) Afterwards, reboot your device, go into the settings menu and update your profile. Enjoy your new rom.
