[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smoghog:
You should just read through all of the Roms on the first page or two of the Dev section. Look at which ones have the most posts/replies under them and check them out. Evaluate the features list and browse through some of the more recent comments pertaining to them to get a feel of how well each one works and what they provide. Ultimately, which rom to use is entirely dependent on what you're hoping to get out of it.

What do you want it to do/not do?

Why are you looking to move away from Cog?

They all have their own ups and downs, it all depends on what's right for you.

I'm running Cog 2.3b6, myself, and thinking of upgrading to Cog 3.03. For what it's worth.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a_fuegon:
I used to use cog as well. I decided to change roms due to what I perceived as a rom problem, only to find out that it was more and likely a modem problem. I had really poor call quality and overall signal degradation.

I decided on the now no longer supported assonance and albeit all the "bells & whistles" of the newer roms, I do not have any interest on flashing a new rom. I have since flashed the speedmod kernel, which drastically helped with my battery issues and will flash a diff modem.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haighter:
Went through a number of ROMs and settled on FireFly with SpeedMod kernel. Smooth, fast (no overclocking), good battery life, GPS fixes, haven't run into any FCs in over a week now... just a very solid performing ROM.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JBM12G:
I would recommend serendipity but phoenix looks like the next best (never tried it though)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2ham:
I'm not necessarily looking to move away from Cog... just wondering if there were any "runaway winners" that I should consider also. From the posts so far it sounds like there may be several worth considering.

What I'm basically looking for is an overall combination of speed (without overclocking), stability, functionality, and battery without any of the factors being stressed/tweaked to the extent that it significantly hurts any of the other factors (i.e., I don't want extreme speed if it means an unacceptable hit on stability or reduction in battery life, etc.)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bames:
+1 phoenix or firefly (same dev.)+ speedmod kernel

Has anyone come across a way to change the default search function in IE when you touch the search button.

I have a HD7 from tmobile the defaults to google. I would like to have it default to the Bing app.

I'm sure from reading others post that they would like to change what ever search engine that their carrier has chosen for them.

Thanks in advance

after you did that:

install the reg editor from this link http://forum.touchxperience.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=593

Here you go :

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchScopes

Edit the string in "DefaultScope" from "Google" TO "Bing".

Remove "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchScopes\Google"

Make a new key "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchScopes\Bing"

In the key "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchScopes\Bing" you make a new value:

value Name=URL

Value Data=http://m.bing.com/search/search.aspx?mid=8015&LC=en-us

Value type= String

if you want to make a provxml (not needed) you can use the code.

Great info Thank you very much

I also found that if you remove

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchScopes

"DefaultScope"

And

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchScopes\Bing

That the search key will use the Bing app that is built into WP7.

Again Thanks this has made my day.

no need to remove anything (find that out later to ) , if you leaf "DefaultScope" empty it will use the build in bing to :D
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benven:
Story goes like this. Stock ROM, was able to get into my Exchange server and sync. Rooted, flashed a bunch of new ROMS and each one of them has had issues with either not authenticated or not recognizing my username/password. Have tried different clients, eg built in Android, Touchdown, K9 and another one that I forget now. The only one that works is Moxier Mail. Syncs with no issues. Had IT delete my account and set it back up. Still the same results.

Anyone know what could be the problem? I would like to use the built in EAS so I could use different agenda/calendar widgets and mail widgets.

Thanks!

i have tried every build out there and have seen that all the Desire HD and Z DAF builds eat up my resources "IE CPU is 95+ % most the time". the only build that i did not have this problem with was with "Raidroid HD Sense v1.2 CWM". does any one have the same experience? :confused:

[Streak 5 General] blopez24:
did you buy the black one or red? i just bough the red one, i ha ordered the black one cancelled order and now re-ordered.
[Streak 5 General] p51d007:
Probably 1 day after Verizon actually sells the iPhone, at&t "should" allow all the android devices to update. I already QDL'd and updated mine.

I wouldn't be surprised if Apple has some stupid agreement that a carrier that handles the iPhone can't update any other manufacturer phones before the iphone updates, or some goofy thing like that.

Or, at&t is a bunch of dumba**'s, that want people to buy a new phone, with 2.2 already installed, versus updating their current phone.
[Streak 5 General] phongthan999:
why wait. do it yourself.

just do a lil research.
[Streak 5 General] bearfan85:
I agree. Do the update yourself. I was leery to take the plunge but purchased the Streak and updated to 2.2 yesterday. If you follow the instructions it is quite foolproof.

so i am making a poll to try to get a reading on what people think about the CPU Usage on CWM VS DAF.
[Venue Pro General] MO3iusONE:
I'm finding it a bit difficult to like this phone. Don't get me wrong I feel the hardware is top notch and one of the main reasons why I bought it was because of the slide out keyboard..the thing that gets to me the most is that its for mobile.. I'm use to having sprint and Verizon and actually I still have my droid pro which is now like my secondary phone but I never realized how slow the edge network was.. Are there any suggestions for improving battery life? Also the lack of widgets and not being able to multitask is a bit of a pain..i like it a hell of a lot more than the iPhone that's for sure..
[Venue Pro General] canadariot2312:
Use black for your theme instead of white. Change the email frequency (don't use push on email accounts you don't care about). Change screen time out time.

I have grown to dislike widgets on an Android device. One of the main reasons being that they slow down the phone when going from homescreen to homescreen.
[Venue Pro General] tai4de2:
So you don't have 3G service from TMO where you are? I agree that would suck.
[Venue Pro General] MO3iusONE:
I've always founds the widgets really useful on Android. Especially on the droid pro its all very smooth. For example, I have an unlock screen that I bought on the Android market that allows me to slide to unlock but also slide to open up any app, so from the lock screen I could go to my email, texting, flash light, etc etc. I feel like I can be more efficient on the droid pro than this phone but, Windoes mobiles7 is still really young so I'm sure they will continue to improve on the os overtime...

there's 3g here but its hit and miss..i get no 3g just edge in my house and at work I get close to nothing. Its a pain when trying to text someone since more than often it won't send it..

I had locked at my plan and saw I was paying for their "4G" lol.. I'm gonna see if its possible for me to change my plan such as removing unlimited text a long with other things since it seems like I can't even use it since service is just terrible.. I'm really liking the phone though.. This is the first Dell phone I've ever owned and I'm impressed.. I use to own a palm pre.. Palm\hp should take some notes from Dell.
[Venue Pro General] dynomite16:
You live in Illinois?
[Venue Pro General] MO3iusONE:
no, Tucson Arizona.. I checked Tmobile's coverage map and I see a lot of green but still, I get really bad service.. it wouldn't be the phone itself would it?
[Venue Pro General] dougolupski:
Maybe I just switched from sprint to TMO and my friends the have other phones on the network get good 3g service in Santa Barbara while the DVP doesn't. There has been reports of the radio not function properly in our phones. Mine like to flucated the signal all over the place when on a call and usually with the phone on the desk with the speaker on. So no antenna gate issues......... Still way better than my touch pro 2 I left behind.
[Venue Pro General] DeekoVB5:
Yea, I used Android for years - I had a G1, Droid, and Epic 4G all on launch day, not to mention installing Android on my HD2 - and while I thought widgets were really cool at first, I slowly but surely was using less and less of them. They make scrolling slower, they use more data, and depending on how crappy the dev was, they tended to force closed.

The one widget I do really miss is the power control widget. That's an awesome feature that I wish WP7 would emulate.
[Venue Pro General] vagabond1:
Most of the issues listed were in some way related to WP7 in general.

But I do agree that the VP radio needs some adjusting. It's still a young device, and it still seems leagues better than the TPro2's stock radio when I first got it.
[Venue Pro General] canadariot2312:
3G is pretty much really good here. I usually navigate around 3 bars and when i am outside, I have full 3G. Than again, I live in one of those cities where T-Mobile's service is really good.

T-Mobile doesn't charge for HSPA+.

3 months after I got my Nexus One, the Twitter widget just starts crashing randomly. I actually ran a test and the only time my Nexus was smooth was when it was not running any widgets whatsoever.

I would have to say that the power control widget is probably one of the better widgets just because it is made directly from Google. Turning on/off WiFi in a pinch is a useful feature. Shame that only the Google widgets are decent.
[Venue Pro General] MO3iusONE:
I'm gonna see if I can exchange this for a different model and see if that helps. Ever since I loaded up some songs on there, it has been freezing up as well. I really like this phone though, a lot, and Windows phone 7 is a pretty cool OS, I'm gonna exchange my phone, hope for the best and if I'm still having issues then hopefully some future update will improve the phone.
[Venue Pro General] jessej:
A couple of things to try to save battery are. If you are always in brightly lit environments it may actually save battery to have the brightness set to medium. Use the dark theme, red is supposed to be the most efficient color in amoled screens to my knowledge but any of the red, green or blue themes (if they are true primaries) will save a little power (I use blue). Regular use for me is probably pretty moderate by most standards. Moderate texting, 3-4 calls, browsing, gaming (my little girl loves this phone) and messing around with things I can make it thorough the day 7:00 am to 10:00 pm without problems. I am not in a 3g area so this may vary from place to place depending on service quality.

[General Questions and Answers] Dirk:
Do you mean battery life? How long the battery is lasting? The Desire HD doesn't have the best but then there's not much of an improvement with any other smartphone either.

Either have a charger wherever you go or buy a spare battery so that you always have another with you.

Have you tried flashing the RUU? Should be able to bring you back to stock and then you can re-root and go from there.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fundio:
yes i did. 2.1 i tried 3 different downloads. correct me if im wrong but after the ruu is installed you should push volume up and reboot correct? i can get both recoveries, the triangle and exclaimation and clockwork but they will only stay on for maybe 5 seconds. any advice greatly appreciated. this thing is probably bricked anyway. might use it for target practice.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fundio:
anyone????
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
Have you tried getting back to stock using this thread to start over?

If you can't ADB push, you're in recovery right? In Mounts and Storage, you can mount USB memory, and just drag and drop...

You can also pull the microSD card out, put it into a SD card adapter, then plug it into your computer. There is a USB adapter that will allow this as well, it shows up as a disk drive, you can drag and drop that way too.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fundio:
i can not get into recovery. it only stays on for a few seconds. now i am down to =

i can not get hboot to recognize pb31img.zip files. i am re formating card and trying another one just in case. still nothing....:confused:

edit. my phone does not even go to the flash screen now to try to boot. i looked at the link you provided but i can not run adb nor do the links on that page work for downloads.

yup. now pb31img files wont load. i reformated to fat 32 tried 3 different card and nothing. the weird thing is my phone was working fine when i went to sleep.

Try finding the stock 2.2 image, that may work better.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fundio:
i have been looking but i cant seem to find one that is a pb31img file. the ones i have found you have sdk installed and since my computer wont recognize it i cant do them. do you know of any links or have any ideas? can it be that my phones drive is bad?

thanks for the help to by the way. i really appreciate it.

winusbcolnstaller.dll on android winusb installation disk needed. that is the error i get now when i try to load drivers for sdk.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
In the latest SDK, adb is not in it, FYI. Re-read the post again, the stock 2.2 RUU is there, follow the instructions under this heading: Part 2: 2.2 stock using OTA RUU. Just rename the file to PB31IMG.zip when you go to save it to your computer.

Here, I uploaded the 3 files that I saved in case ADB wasn't in the latest Android SDK, which they aren't: Click here.

Put these three in the SDK - Tools folder. I keep my SDK folder on the root of my C:, so just browse to your SDK - Tools folder and drop these in there in case you don't have them.

My suggestion: remove your current SDK, re-download the latest SDK, install it, then put the ADB files in there to get ADB working, download the 2.2 RUU from the previous link in post #5, rename it and put it onto your SD card, and let the magic happen :)

[Wildfire Android Development] dj_destruction:
Its not useless if you need to flash back to a 2.1 rom for any reason, which is why i made the guide because i was asked by a few people who did not like the 2.2 update or were experiencing problems on 2.2 that they were not on 2.1...
