[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwer23:
In Gingerbread thread, Jerp wrote that the problem is our display's running with 16bit in the custom ROMs at the moment and Gingerbread (and perhaps Froyo also) is using 32bit. So it's hopefully only a temporary problem that can be fixed by the devs.

Cheers

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtrmshadow:
Thanks for the answer mate.

And yeah i saw that,i wouldnt mind if i knew that it was everyone that had this problem,cause id know that its the device but everybody else has these widgets looking great,besides me and like 2 or 3 more i saw.

So it must be smth i (we) did wrong ,and wanna know what ><

Regards
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwer23:
I don't think there are only a few with that problem. But it also depends on the widget/wallpaper itself. The stock energy control widget for example look nice at my screen. How does it look for you? The one in the screenshot isn't stock as far as I see it. Otherwise the Nexus S live wallpaper has really heavy gradient for me. Actually I'm on Gingerbread, but I just want to point out that can be a problem of certain widgets.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtrmshadow:
Yeah thats the problem,its the stock Energy control widget >< same as facebook widget and the clock.

Also i got the widget "recent calls" that uses the same background as Energy Control and has the same jaggy colors appearing.

Hmm wierd thing aint it?

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arkedk:
This has nothing to do with your launchers or density.

This is the fact that the screen is running at 65K Colors, which causes the visible gradient.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wolfbreak:
No the 65k Colors cant be the Problem becouse on 2.1 SE Rom there is no Gradient and in earlier FreeX10 Version there was no gradient for me i have Gradients since Beta 2. Gingerbread have no gradients on my Screen only Froyo Beta 2
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arkedk:
EDIT:

I can see my gradients does the same when I scroll between screens on my launcher. But they disappear when the screen transition is done.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] violentgoomba:
I think the difference between 2.1 SE Rom and 2.2 Free X10 is the color dithering system that SE has running in their ROM. Although I have no way to prove that, I just remember reading about it somewhere when we got the 2.1 update came out.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wolfbreak:
Yeah but thats becouse Launcher i have changed Scroll Cache on LauncherPro to have no Gradient when scrolling or you just can check High Quality Scorlling then you will see no Gradients but the Problem on Beta 2 is i see extreme Gradients withouth even scrolling but it was good on Beta 1 so i dont know why. Maybe Camera have something to do with it?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtrmshadow:
Yup exactly.If it was for scrolling id say it was the launcher but as you can see in the pics,they are still and very gradient'ish. And also i didnt have this problem on FreeX10 beta 1. Its not such a biggy but it just kinda annoys the eye.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtrmshadow:
Sup guys,anyone found any possible solution?

I also noticed that the gradientish view also applies on an app ,which is called TTPod ,the gradients can be viewed on the album collection thingies it has.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Borecz1:
You should probably post this as a bug in FreeX10 thread or send a PM to Z. Maybe he doesn't know about it so he can't fix it. It looks like it hasn't been posted in FreeX10 topic yet, because searching for "gradient" gave me no relevant posts.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t3ej4y:
I have this problem on my freex10 beta 3 too. If I were to guess I think it'd be because sony's 2.1 dithering drivers aren't used... just a guess though :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zdzihu:
First of all, what the heck are "dithering drivers"? :)

Second, I already answered this twice. Replace stock launcher and see this:

Greyness/gradient of soft buttons

Hello!

Maybe this is not wright thread, but can you tell me is this just my problem or generally on all X10's. Grey buttons are too dark since I got android 2.1.

Regards, Zagor
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wolfbreak:
n LauncherPro the Gradients are gone but there are still things like Call Screen that have extreme Gradients
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtrmshadow:
I have noticed something , and why we get the gradientish view.

Its because of the live wallpapers ... i mean ,i have tried with still wallpapers and no gradients at all,but with live wallpaper there's gradients everywhere ^

So i think this is kinda Solved ^^

For some weird reason Chernobyl district is attracting me like a magnet. It even came to my dreams several times!

I was growing up in Ukraine, about 65 miles away from the Chernobyl. My mom once told me that teachers forced them to go wash radioactive trains from Chernobyl, if they refused - their exam scores would be Fails. I was reading something last night, and found some interesting info, which would be very educative for all of you:

http://www.angelfire.com/extreme4/kiddofspeed/chapter1.html

I believe that she have done great job! She rode her bike all over that place, and it was done years before the "gates of Chernobyl" were finally open!

Anyone else have very weird attractions?

I really want to go to Pripyat. My life wont be complete without going there.

BTW, I was born in Poland, but I'm stuck in the States so Pripyat is pretty far.

(For anyone thinking what Pripyat is, it's the city where all the workers of Chernobyl worked, and the nearest city to Chernobyl, google it)

Another thing I want to see which is closer from home is the Freedom Tunnel. It's a train tunnel in NYC which was closed in the 80s and was home to bums and graffiti artists.
[Off-topic] Dirk:
It is a remarkable story. Not so much that there was a nuclear accident, although that is remarkable in itself, but the stories of the people involved in the aftermath and the survivors who lived through a nightmare.

Pripyat would be a unique place to visit :)

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziotree:
i rooted the phone the other day

and used the following tools

clockworkmod

visionary

one click radio s-off

one click eng s-off

astro from market

no rom has been flashed as i always had the intension of selling this phone

i have now got a buyer for the phone and wondered what would happen if i did a factory reset?

to get on the android market and download astro and clockworkmod i had to sign in my gmail account which i cannot now remove unless i do a factory reset.

if i did a factory reset would the phone still be rooted and sim unlocked and would the owner have to go and get any of those tools again??

thanks

im a newbie so hence the questions
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarcellesWolles:
If you do the factory reset you will loose all your personal data an programms you installed. Radio S-Off and Eng S-Off will still remain on your DHD
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziotree:
thanks for the reply mate

what about the tools

visionary and clockwork mod? will these disappear and will the new owner have to get these again if they do disappear as he wants to flash a rom on it... or are these not needed anymore?

thanks much appreciated zio
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nm8:
They will be wiped off if they are not part of the rom on your phone. Eg: Leedroid rom.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziotree:
ok mate cheers

will the user have to get those tools again then as he wanted to flash some rom on it

only asking so i can give the guy a heads up once he takes it off me.

thanks zio
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
Well the factory reset will not even unroot the device. You will still have access to clockwork mod, and if you have superuser app in /system it will still be there.

So the short answer is that the buyer will only need to put the rom on an sd card and flash it.

Someone swyped my idea.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nm8:
yes he has to start again
[Android Apps and Games] Evil_J:
This might be a kind of noob-ish request, but I'm trying to avoid rooting (I know, I know) and wondered if there was a way to port over the dialer-contacts in APK form from 2.3.

I would appreciate any help/guidance.
[Android Apps and Games] saltorio:
Did anything change in the dialer between Froyo and Gingerbread?
[Android Apps and Games] sccrplyr13:
Took these off my Nexus S. Not sure if they'll work but here you go!
[Android Apps and Games] dswta:
Be careful. Make a backup of the original apks first (or a full nandroid backup) ;). if they don't work, they're likely to cause the system to crash-loop (continuous FCs). Happened too me when trying a moded phone.apk before.
[Android Apps and Games] kevin2516:
Aren't the dialers the same, I didn't notice any differences apart from the look, from froyo and now on gingerbread
[Android Apps and Games] Evil_J:
Thanks for the fast response, but I'm getting a parse error trying to install the APKs.

To everyone else: I'm mostly trying to get something more like AOSP over the stock HTC stuff, and most of what I've found on here is stuff designed to flash on top of ROMs for rooted phones.
[Epic 4G General] dewey1973:
In this week's This Week in Google podcast they discus the Froyo delays for the Galaxy S. Nothing new but an interesting discussion that credits the xda forums.

http://twit.tv/twig78

The discussion starts at 0:12:06.
[Epic 4G General] decalex:
Ya, I didn't know about the possible "anonymous" google employee posting on XDA, being the source of the first (?) rumor. I'm a HUGE fan of TWIG and the rest of Leo's empire, but feel like they didn't really know what was going on with the story. Though, I do agree that, in the end, this just hurts google's 'name' in the mobile space, regardless of who is responsible.

But, I spend hours a day on xda.. so, I'm not one to judge :)

BOL also covered it on tuesday or wednesday. They didn't really shed much light on it, but Molly Wood owned a Captivate (or Fascinate) and talks about her frustration often.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Couldn't stand listening to that for more than a few minutes. These people discuss tech and yet they get about every single basic fact wrong. They say Google when they mean T-Mobile, they say Nexus S when they mean Nexus One, they say users pay the fee when they mean carriers pay the fee. Couldn't go 20 seconds without them saying something incorrect, which is annoying.

[HD2 General] Mus:
Hi, got my new HD2 last week. Getting used to the capacitive screen coming from an XDA IIi.

The h/p socket at the bottom is not very good design and I'm hoping a new case will alleviate the discomfort when typing. However, I understand there isn't a flip case that also accommodates an extended battery? Any suggestions?

Also, any good charger/case/car kit bundles in the UK? I thought I saw one on MobileFun but can't find it now. Are any of the eBay Hong Kong ones any good?

There's a lot I don't like about WM 6.5, particularly the fact that Word crashes documents that worked fine on the XDA. Plenty of rough joins, where they bolted Apple catch-up stuff onto the underlying engine.

Is there a free SatNav for WM or Android, if I bite the bullet and install a new SPL/Radio? Are there ones with offline maps for Europe as well as UK so I don't incur data charges? If there are no free ones which would be the best paid one?

Thanks!

I need a tag editor that will correctly tag my MP3 so they work in iTunes on a Mac and on my Android phone.

I've used iTunes for years now. 80% of my music collection on my computer is from CDs I've imported to iTunes over the years. Anything that I imported myself from CDs looks fine in iTunes (obviously, beause iTunes tagged them) but they have various issues when I copy them over to my phone (sometimes there's missing track info, sometimes there's a number before each song, etc.).

Does iTunes keep your tag info in an XML file, so when I try to use these MP3s that are tagged fine in iTunes, they don't work properly because they weren't tagged correctly?

I just need a simple program that will make them work on both!
[Droid X General] SharkBaitDave:
I admit, I'm Not too familiar with the Mac OS but, in windows, when I entered all the info in Media Player, and they did not carry over either, I ended up just going into file explorer and editing the properties and they carry over correctly now to any media player. Does the file explorer have such a feature in Mac?
[Droid X General] Nabaati:
I'm not sure that the tags are your problem. I haven't run across any music player that will read and interpret tags completely correctly. Disc number, for example, seems to be ignored, and compilations are always handled weird. I've tried 3 or 4 different players, but none of them are as good as itunes when it comes to reading the tags.
[Droid X General] dragontology:
iTunes can't write ID3 tags. It saves them to a database that iTunes reads. This is copied to iOS devices so they have the right information, but isn't shared with non-iOS devices (artificial benefit/detriments).

Mp3Tag is a freeware ID3 tagger for Windows and maybe Linux, not sure on that. In Linux though, if you can't find a better/comparable app, you could just install Wine, then install it. Not sure if anything like Wine is available for OS X though. You are using OS X, right? Since you're using iTunes? Because iTunes for Windows is, er... problematic.

(Not a Droid X user, I'm here researching a problem for a friend. Carry on!)
[Droid X General] ProfLonghair:
Get Zortam. It's a bit strange, but will edit all versions of ID3 tags and ever copy v1 to v2 or v2 to v1. It's a great little tool.

download root explorer, run a search for bootanimation.zip and note the results. then extract the files from the zip you want to add onto your desktop, open the folder and go to system/customize/resource or whatever path takes to to another bootanimation.zip load this onto the root of your sd card then use root explorer to copy and paste over the original after you mount as r/w.... confused yet? just start going throught the files and looking at where stuff is kept and youll notice if you look inside the zips your flashing they have the same paths... doing boot animations is simple as cutting and pasting on ANY computer.... your phone is no diif as long as you have access.... what rom are you on?

Is it possible to change the language of the nook color? Or at least change the configuration of the keyboard so the autocomplete and autocorrect is in spanish?

[Nook Color General] RSchmauk:
I change the language of the nook color with morelocale2.

I'll see what I can do with the keyboard. I'm sure swift Key have spanish, but the menu appears white text over white background, so I can't choose the language... Maybe I'll just try them all.
[Nook Color General] RSchmauk:
I was able to change the language of two keyboards, SwiftKey and Smart Keyboard. One with a long press in the mic button and the other with a long press in the ABC button.

Sadly, Swift Key uses predictions for both languages at the same time, mixing them, so I had to chose Smart Keyboard as a default, even though I like the former better.

Hi guys, after some searching i saw that some people ask how to revert back to stock theme.

This package is based on XWJS3 framework

I've made this for who don't know how to do it by himself. it just restore stock framework and apps.

inside script there is a wipe for dalvik cache just to be sure, so after flashing this package wait some minutes at first boot.

Just tried with doc rom 9.3 and all was fine. I always recommend a backup if something goes wrong.

Tried looking around but I haven't had much luck on this one. Since Froyo became available sometime around the 18th via the LG updater I have yet to see a way to root this thing. z4 and universal just don't work. Anyone have a method to this madness?

Note: This isn't my phone but really a work phone. The one my co workers and myself use is not really in need of root but my manager uses wifi tether like a crack addict and needs it. Right now I told him to just say no to the update since it's now being pushed via OTA.

Rooted Ally Froyo OTA update

I also have the same question kind of.. OTA Froyo update came this morning but we (my girls phone)have denied it because we use tether more than we want Flash someone Please let me know when Ally Froyo is Rooted. THX.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jaxs1028:
Well my wife has the LG Ally and since she's had it I've been playing with it. It actually took a bit to get the update to load, but once it did I realized I lost root. I didn't think much of it because I had backups, but restoring them didn't work which meant that I wasn't able to downgrade and try installing a rooted version.

I then found that I could download the Superuser app in a zip file and use it in a custom recovery to install as root.

First get the latest Superuser zip file for froyo, su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip,here and put it on the root of your sdcard.

Then reboot into your recovery. The easiest way to get into the recovery is to power off the phone and then press SEND + MENU + tap END, keep tapping END until you see the LG screen. Once you see the LG screen you can let go.

Now you need to navigate through your custom recovery to use the zip file.

Amon-ra: Flash zip menu > Flash zip from sdcard > su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip.

ClockWork: Install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard > su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip.

Once it is done loading reset and you should be good to go!

Credit goes to ChainsDD for the awesome app!
