[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bethanensinger:
Personally I use paragon because the kernel is super fast and battery stays pretty well, and because it has given me my best gps so far, but that isnt true for everyone, but if you are looking for a very stable rom than i suggest phoenix or firefly or paragon, you decide.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tejas offroad:
Just try it out for a week and then switch to the other. see which ones better.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AtoZ0to9:
There's so many good ROMs... I'm running Paragon now, but have always been diehard Darky's... And I plan to check out the Beta Darkys's... as well as Serendipity... and anything else... all good stuff...

I an running Paragon 5.1 and LOVE IT! Speedy kernel and great GPS...very stable!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
Try both, make your own decision
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dizx:
+1. Both are supported very well by the their respective developers. If you are like me, you will end up driving both of them yourself and then maybe even go beyond and try the others out.

Each have their own different features and sometimes you will go back to your "go-to" ROM and request the dev to add this and that because you saw it on another ROM.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddoubt:
I´ve pass through Paragon and didn´t like it very much... got some screen bugs (didn´t know how to use spareparts at the time to lower screen transitions), theme was TOO green... anyway... Serendipity is very nice, great speed, clean and stable ROM... GPS needs a little fix but which doesn´t, right?

Right now I´m running Dilligaf's di11i's 6.0 with PlumbBob 0.8.3b GPS Fix... a very nice, stable and clean ROM also...

Well... you should make your own mind as everybody said but Serendipity or di11i's would be a good start.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seanzscreams:
personally i have never had better luck with a rom than serendipity, gps,battery, interface is very clean and looks like gb, im also running suckerpunch kernal #50 oc/uv to 1200 mhz and i usually get about 17 to 20 hours of battery life with consistant use , ive tried every single rom on this forum my top 3 are

serendipity

dillis

Not at the same time of course. Been lurking here a long time and doing a lot of reading and if I have learned anything, it's you can't flash just once and be done. It's like crack......without the crack.

Been running Paragaon 5.1 for over a week and LOVE IT. No bugs that I have found, VERY SPEEDY kernel. GPS works amazing. Paragon is my choice, hoping to see RC6 SOON...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vr2o:
I have kind of both flashed at the same time... Serendipity with Paragon Kernel... it gives me Serendipity looks with excellent Paragon GPS... great mix!!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
yeesh - the OP was asking between Paragon and Serendipity.

If you haven't run one or the other.. don't confuse the guy :D

I've only run Serendipity - but MikeyMike always seems to put out quality ROMs. Overall his ROM is great. I STILL need to take my phone in to the warranty center to fix my random shutdown issues. (Yea.. probably never happen in my lifetime)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bgf183:
I like Paragon the best out of all the one's I've tried. eSPyeL did a great job making everything work the way you want it to work. Paragon seems to have the best bluetooth out of all the one's I've tried. I don't love the theming, but functionally, it's terrific. (And it supports back light notification which is a nice feature)
[Droid X Themes and Apps] XDRDX:
I am working on combining Draya's Red GB theme and stock OTA. I have run into trouble trying to make the 10% battery increments actually display the images. I was wondering if someone could offer assistance.

I have tried decompiling framework-res.apk with apk manager and recompiling it with the changes in stat_sys_battery.xml. Although for some reason when I recompile and install via update.zip I bootloop.

This update.zip currently works perfectly, although it only displays battery in increments of 20%.

Here is a link to the themes current update.zip. http://db.tt/LV6Y9i9
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SysAdmin-X:
Are u recompiling as a system apk? If you try to recompile with just an apktool command for instance as if it

were an app, it wont recompile correctly.

Sorry if you already knew this, not trying to sound condescending in any way. Just ran into this same issue myself a while ago.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] XDRDX:
I actually didn't. I have just started trying to learn to do all if these modifications.

I have learned that I can do hex editing to change colors and change the .png's but I am still working on learning to compile my own .9.png's and trying to figure out how to decompile and recompile so that I can modify the xml in standard text vs. hex because I would have no idea how to add my own text to an xml while still in hex form and I believe I read somewhere that if you change the file to much you need to include a new resources file or something.

Do you have any directions in decompiling and recompiling system apk's so that they are editable?

The way I was trying was with apk manager 4.9 as a system apk I believe. I am thinking option 11 or option 9 if I remember right...

I had also switched the apktool version to 1.3.1 because of the issue in 1.3.2 that I read on the apktool page.

I want to buy a wp7 devices, but is 8GB enough of space for quite a bit apps? And a few songs? Or should I buy a 16GB devices? What do you recommend?

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxbat121:
Apps don't need that much of space. Media files are the ones that take a lot of space.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbo-art:
And what about full games?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marvin_S:
Ik speel geen games, maar 8gb is meer dan zat. Als je een game niet meer speelt verwijder je hem gewoon en kan je hem later zo weer opnieuw installeren. Foto's kan je automatisch uploaden naar 25gb skydrive en dan van je mobiel verwijderen, scheelt veel ruimte. Ik zat met dezelfde twijfel die jij hebt. Heb uiteindelijk de samsung genomen, ik heb de afweging gemaakt tussen scherm/design/geheugen/camera en voor mij won de samsung op alles behalve geheugen. 8gb is voor mij genoeg, heb 4gb over dus daar kan je nog wel aardig wat spellen op kwijt

Ik wil graag de htc hd 7 hebben om het grote scherm. Maar in europa hebben ze alleen 8 gb versies. Dus daarom wou ik het zeker weten.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbk21:
Als je de HD7 wilt kopen, zou ik dat in Engeland doen. Wat je in Nederland voor een 8gb betaald, voor die prijs kan je in Engeland de 16gb versie kopen en simlock vrij maken + verzending en dan nog ben je 50 euro goedkoper uit.

Ik had mijn hd7 trouwens via ebay gekocht en was zelfs 100 euro goedkoper uit. Maar dan neem je ook een iets grotere risico.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slighmd:
ok kinda understood the conversation. Personally, i'd go with a higher capacity device "just in case". True, it's mostly videos that take up space but still, i'd prefer a higher capacity device. 16gb would be the sweet spot for me
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbo-art:
That is exactly what I am thinking.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00306:
Personally, I have never filled the 8Gb on my Omnia. But I only ever install one Xbox Live game at a time.

If you are planning to watch videos on your device, get a 16Gb device - or one that can be upgradable via SD card anyway. When you have Music, Videos, Games & Apps all in there, 8Gb is a push. It can be done, but you will be adding/removing stuff more than you'd probably want to.

In sort, 8Gb is good for Music, Games & Apps - 16Gb is good for Video too.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emigrating:
I would say it depends on your usage. If you stream music/video rather than storing actual files on the device you will save lots of space, but apps/games quickly eat into memory also. If you were to purchase a handful of the higher-ticket games that would easily amount to over one GB. Apps aren't generally that big, but some do cache a lot of data on the device. If you're looking to install some kind of GPS Navigation package in the future that could easily take up another GB. Then there are photos of course, a single photo now and again doesn't take much space, but if you're like me snapping away constantly you'll want more memory. Syncing to Zune (or the cloud) is fine, but I like to keep my photos on the phone as well.

For reference, in the first day of use I put 4GB of data onto my 16GB device. The wife used about half, i.e. 2GB. My HD2 (with a 16GB card) is now down to around 7GB usable (from 14.96) with nothing but apps and games - although a lot of them are sideloaded projects I'm working on so data caching is far from optimized.

Given the choice though, I would always go for a 16GB minimum (which is why I went out of my way to import the 16GB Omnia7 for me and the wife).
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbo-art:
Thank you for your post it was really helpfull. I go for 16 GB of memory.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z33dev33l:
if you're a gamer aim high. I have most of the xbox live games on my 40 gigs as well as just a couple gigs of videos and music and I'm about at 16
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Peew971:
No matter what use you make of the phone, if you can afford 16GB go for it just in case. You don't know yet how many games/apps you might end up buying.

I went for 16GB as I knew I would use my phone as a Zune too and I already had between 8GB and 9GB of music. Add to that Podcasts, games and apps and even 16GB won't be enough down the road. Hopefully by that time +32GB devices will be on the way.

You can try to do it from terminal. Look up for some tutorial about how to change the MAC on Linux. You will need root, Busybox and a terminal emulator. The command what you need is ifconfig, but I don't know the method.
[Nexus One General] James Bell:
As I sit here and wait for 2.2.2 for my N1, it occurs to me I know nothing about the OTA process. A quick search of XDA reveals some of the same questions but few answers. Here's some things I'd like explained:

- How does the rollout process work?

- Are they controlled by HTC or Google or Tmobile?

- How does the selection of IMEIs work?

- How are the carriers involved in the distribution process?

- Is country of residence a factor?

- Does the update process work faster over WiFi? Or maybe require a cellular data connection?

- What does *#*#CHECKIN#*#* do exactly?

- What does clicking Settings...About Phone...System Updates do?

- Is the signing and structure of the update package understood?

- Would I get an OTA if I had no cellular data plan (only WiFi)?

Can anyone point me to a thread/page/wiki that has these answers?
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
To the best of my knowledge:

Google puts the update on their server, your phone checks in for updates every once in a while. If the Google servers tell your phone there is an update, it downloads it and prompts you to install it.

100% Google controlled

No one knows for sure. Seemingly random unless you have one of the "Holiday" Nexus Ones which seem to get preferential treatment to update first. Not always the case though.

Aside from the data being downloaded across their network, the carriers are not involved in any way with the Nexus One's update distribution.

I don't believe so. It goes off your IMEI and whether Google has chosen you.

That depends on the speed of your wifi or 3G connection. It is like downloading any other file off the internet (wifi will probably be faster).

It forces your phone to check Google's servers for an update. But, if your IMEI isn't in the approved pool that the update is being sent to, it will NOT cause your phone to get the update ahead of time. IMO, the checkin code is worthless as you will almost always see the update file posted here long before your phone will tell you there is an update.

That only lists updates your phone has already downloaded and are ready to apply. It does not check for new updates.

Yes.

Yes.

The wiki is located in a link at the top, labeled appropriately enough "WIKI".

It may not have these specific answers, but is an excellent place to go before asking any questions here. :)

Oh, and one more thing. You have posted this in the wrong forum. This forum is not for questions. The forum labeled "Nexus One Q&A" would have been the appropriate forum to start this thread in.
[Nexus One General] Tim4:
I have a korean nexus and it got updates which slighty different from stock rom, i think it maded by kt itself, not google.

My opinion is thats because its a operator model. And yours t-mobile nexuse one wouldnt be one of the first wholl recieve ota.

Btw my korean nexus stll didnt recieved FRG83D
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
There are no operator models in the US, only Vodafone in Europe and KT in Korea have them.

The updates of the operator ones still come from Google, but they're delayed for testing/modification by the networks.
[Nexus One General] k_myk:
Curious: Why, for example, sense'd phones can have "check for updates" button, and we have to just stare and wait?

Cheers!
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Because HTC decided that's how they wanted it.
[Nexus One General] k_myk:
Yes, but I can't find any reason to NOT give the option to manually chceck for updates. I had that option in stock android 2.1 on the Milestone, so it can't be to difficult if Moto Europe lazy devs could do that. Am I missing something or it's just illogical?

Hm. Maybe google didn't want hteir servers to be DDoS'd when new update arrives:P
[Nexus One General] Meepohv:
Hi Rusty, how do define operator models? I have FRG83D installed! Before that I had FRF91 (Vodafone)! Is my phone still a operator model? In which way does it effect the OTA process?
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Unless you've deliberately made the effort to switch to the untouched Google firmware, you'll still have the Voda variant.

What this means is you will receive updates much later than the Google bought handsets, if you tried to install the 2.2.2 update (FRG83G), you'll find that it will fail.
[Nexus One General] Meepohv:
I've unlocked the bootloader and installed FRG83D. Prior to that I had FRF91 2.1 Vodafone Version!
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Got ya. You are on par with the Google bought phones then.
[Nexus One General] Meepohv:
Thanks Rusty!

it's really a hard work to wait OTA with google's official version. So I can't wait and just flash a lot of vendor room from the XDA. :)

[General Questions and Answers] malchom:
I am so depressed right now!

My unrooted nexus one no longer wants to read my SD card. I get the "blank sd card or unsupported file system" notification.

I have tried 3 different sd cards, all reseated several times. All the cards work with computers with a card reader, I have tried factory resetting my phone, from the settings menu and from the "volume down + power" menu. The cards also work with various devices that support SD cards.

If i touch the notification it asks me to format my card, if i say yes it does nothing. If i go into settings I can't mount the sd card : the notification cycles through : "preparing sd card... sd card safe to remove... blank sd card...". If I have tried a format before trying to mount, the notifications do not appear/cycle.

If I try to read on my computer an SD card that I tried to format with my nexus one, the computer states that I need to format the card. Once I format it, it works fine.

I have tried to format with default windows utility as well as the official app you can find by googling "SD Formatter 3.0 for SD/SDHC/SDXC"

I think I have tried everything I can... I have a feeling that this is software related and it persists through wipes or the card reader on my phone is dead.

I don't know what else I can do other than ship it to HTC and before doing that I wanted to ask the community here...
