Hi folks,

Guh. Sorry, I went back and re-read the original post and restored the image using clockwork mod / rom manager as advised; works fine. Thanks!

Done the restore via Clockwork, however stuck on white HTC screen when restarting. Waited 5 minutes and reinstalled ARHD rom. But I need to replace the handset with 3. Any suggestions? Thanks

In your opinion what has been better charging for apps or giving them for free with ad support? Also what kind of apps tend to do better with paid/ad based revenue?
[Android Software Development] doctormetal:
Saw a few articles about that in the last few weeks. They talked about applications that have a free ad supported version and a paid ad free. The free version generates the most revenue. Paying seems a big threshold for some and is even impossible in a lot of countries.

Most banners are not intrusive in portrait mode but I do think they are mostly too large in landscape mode.
[Android Software Development] Rootstonian:
I do non-ad apps. The two that I have published are $1.00. Who can't afford a buck, really?

Perhaps having to sign-up for Google Checkout stops people from leaning towards the non-free apps.
[Android Software Development] jug6ernaut:
You would be surprised, ppl get defined all the time when trying to buy my app and its only 1.5 lol. Tho I guess there could be more reason why they are declined lol.

If youre making a game... id say free version will make more money.

If its a utility... a paid version will make more money because the user wont have the app open for very long or use it very often
[Android Software Development] jug6ernaut:
According to google docs, the onBackPressed() simple calls finish(). So it would be the same.

Honestly this isnt making any sense, calling onBackPressed() *should* be teh same as pressing the back button, but its not...
[Android Software Development] doctormetal:
But if a user does not use it very often it is better to have an ad supported version as the user will not like to pay for it.
[Android Software Development] cthulion:
As a user, having to sign up for Google checkout did stop me from buying, but I got on it cause I figured out the can bill through my carrier.

But honestly, the thing that really keeps me from buying more apps - and specially games with downloadable content - is the 15 minute refund window.

Most of the times that is not enough for me to figure out if the app or game have this or that bug that could potentially turn me off.

Examples: I bought tapatalk, only to find out it FC on me frequently, at which point I am better off using g the free XDA app.

I also bought PSX4DROID only to find out later that it FC on my device when I change orientation - found out dropping the phone and loosing progress -

Lately I am opting for apps that have a free version or a fully functioning trial.

If I'm going to drop some cash then I want to make sure I'm getting something fully functional which will be supported by the dev.
[Android Software Development] JimJam707:
I prefer ad supported apps over paid apps.

Two Reasons,

1) Ad Supported apps are free.

2) I'm only 13 (well almost 14 ;)) so I can't really pay for apps.
[Android Software Development] Syn Ack:
Not to mention a lot of people are broke.
[Android Software Development] Rootstonian:
It's all basic Economics (yes, I actually liked economics classes in college).

2 things: Supply and Demand and Economies of Scale

Which boils down to quality vs. quantity. Do you create and make that "KILLER APP" that sells 100,000 copies at a measly $1.00 each? Yeah, I would be happy.

Or do you create 100 "NICE TO HAVE APPS" and sell 1000 copies each at same price?

Still would be happy :)

I really still think the mobile app market (Android, Windows Mobile, iOS) are still in an infancy stage. Especially when it comes to corporate implementations; whether end-user or in-house.
[Android Software Development] jug6ernaut:
Broke? Explain to me how someone who has sh at least $50 phone eith the majority bring well over this can not afford $1-3 apps?

Do ad supported apps do better then paid? Generally yes, but its no2 bc ppl can't afford it. Fickle had create an environment where any person with a key board csen go out and make an app. Bc of this this the majority are free and crap.

Look at the iphone quality of apps, out far exceeds that of android by far. This had nothing to do eith number of users, but rather bc paid aps actually still on the iphone. Look at the best paid aps on android...less thrn 10k sales that's crap. A company can not operate on that number of sales.

Its all about mentality of the user and supply n demand...

I prefer ad supported apps. That way, I can get the app for free, with no hassle on my end, but the dev is still making money. And when it's an app that I really like, I tend to just click the ads a bunch of times.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] djglenn1337:
I have not been tempted to flash my Galaxy S, and I got stuck into a rut of flashing my phone every other week when I owned my Xperia (Win Mobo).

I thought my Galaxy S was fine untill I tried the new Nexus S in a store and realised how much mine lagged..

Now I am really curious as the the increase in speed from custom roms, as my phone still lags evey now and again (especially opening emails etc).

My stock Firmware is on 2.2 JP3, which is the latest available via Kies for O2 UK.

I have checked my phone and the 3 buttom Installer mode thing works.

So what do you guys recommend?

Should I flash my phone? Or are there not much differences?

I was looking at Supercurio's Voodoo 5.2, which looks good, what do you think of it?

Is it as simple as the instructions suggest?

Update.zip method (recommended; computer not required):

1.Copy the Voodoo package as /sdcard/update.zip at the root of your SD Card.

2.Reboot into recovery using the 3 button combo for your phone or “adb reboot recovery”

3.Apply update.zip

4.Enjoy !

Would I need to do anything else?

Does flashing a custom rom prevent me from returning to stock?

All advice is welcome
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sxi200:
You can also update to 2.2.1 which is miles ahead of 2.2. Lag is almost non-existant. I used kies registry patcher to allow me to update to 2.2.1 jpy. I used the product code XEU.

As for flashing kernal/rom you can use odin or cw recovery. For cwr you need to have recovery 2e not 3e as i suspect you currently have. I flashed cf root via odin to get 2e recovery on 2.2.1 jpy.

Personally i have flashed mine with doc's rom from the kitchen with the speedmod kernal. I was using voodoo for months but find speedmod a little smoother. Either way both are good and to be honest 2.2.1 barely needs any lagfixes. It flies as is. I like the custom kernals because they drastically improve sound with the voodoo app. Both speedmod and the voodoo kernals support this.

Go to the samfirmware site. It has all you need (firmwares, pit files and flash tools like odin). And yes, you can always download the original firmware and flash with odin and get back to stock.

Hope this helps :)

Hey man, if i can i might just add some questions?

Does voodoo make full use of the 512meg of ram? is there message lag?

Im using a rooted android 2.2 with oclf (one click lag fix) would i have to uninstall this if i flashed my galaxy using rom manager? thanks for the help
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ian72:
Hey where would you download android 2.2.1? some of the sites look suss

Like samfirmwares ???

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ian72:
sigh, ill have to register then? then again is there a way to root 2.2.1? my phone doesnt have the 3 button reboot recovery. So for 2.2 i installed z4root.apk from the internet on my phone to root it. would voodoo be better?

also as i asked before some websites say youll brick your phone if you dont uninstall anti lag programs before flashing, other websites dont mention it. What do you think?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ian72:
Hey man, today while playing with my phone, i bricked it.... so i used odin3 v1.7 and flashed voodoo on my galaxy.

So far, voodoo has installed clockmod recovery and has headphone ampifiers. However i wouldnt say it was faster then android 2.2 with the oclf (one click lag fix). When i was using android + oclf my quadrant standrad score was around 1500 as is voodoo. I do notice less message lag though.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sxi200:
You might want to flash 2.2.1 from.samfirwares since you have odin. Then flash voodoo and apply lagfix. Always remove lagfix before flashing firmwares unless the new one had the same file system, eg voodoo and speedmod (both use ext4).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] t1mman:
I don't know if it is your case (most likely) but in recovery 3e you can't flash unsigned update.zip

So, firt you'll need to either get 2e (with an old rom) or install something like speedmod-kernel. I've done the latter and it's pretty straight forward

then after, you'll be able to play around more (like installing ClockWorkMod for easier rom install)

if you have specific modem (like Bell's 850mhz), you'll also need to get the modem file (from samfirmware) and reflash it with Odin or you won't have any signals
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yhenk:
I just have my DHD about two days. I was really, really careful with it.

But now I have:

- Two little specks on my screen, maybe dead pixels, but it seems to be on the top layer of the screen. Damage would be really strange, because nothing happened to the phone.

- Youtube app keeps crashing. For instance, I was watching a vid, paused and went back to the home screen. When I returned to youtube it crashed.

- The microphone stopped working after I tried to fix the gap with the SIM-card cover (it went well). SO voice control, Soundhound, camcorder all don't work.

- Camcorder app keeps crashing.

- And a lot of other apps also crashed.

I'm really disappointed in this. I just expected my new phone to run just smooth and without any problems, but this reminds me of a crashing PC. >:(

Can you help me? Or do I need to get a new one?

EDIT: Camera app stopped working too! When I Open camera or camcorder app, a camera logo appears, and then I go back to the home screen

EDIT2: Goggles died too!

EDIT3: Music app plays, but I hear nothing! (Full volume). And Youtube app entirely stopped working! It play, but I only see a black screen and there's no sound too!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
Since you have done no mods to the software I'd say it's a faulty phone.

Maybe do a factory reset and see if the problems persist but if that doesn't fix it send it back.

Someone swyped my idea.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olivierlee:
Wow. Sounds like your phone is falling apart. Try a hard reset on your device, if it still fails, I would send it back seeing you've only had it for a few days.

I send it back.
[GT540 Optimus General] MikeGyver:
Hi all !

I'm new on the LG GT540 because that's not exactly

MY

phone but my brother's one...

I suggested him upgrading to 2.1 because 1.6 was laggy and overall buggy on his device.

So, he allowed me to do the trick but I'm facing a strange problem.

I'm on a French carrier Virgin Mobile (french = explains my english mistakes :rolleyes:), and I found a lot of ROMS (links found on xda), but first of all, I wanted to upgrade from the LG website (found no update on the operator's website...)

Upgrade progress was OK until the flash process himself that stopped at 4%...

The phone rebooted 2 times, and the application on the PC stopped with an error...

After that, flashing from LG utility was impossible !

So I found the method with KDZ_FW_UPD.exe and tried it...

I read here and here that it could void warranty, but that's the only way to get out of there...

Everytime I flash, everything seems to be OK, I choose 3GQCT on the dropdown list, I disable the modem in the device manager, the process reaches LParam 212~215, the message "FINSHED" appears, the phone reboots, but when I enter PIN code, I've got the message process com.android.phone failed etc...

Tried with 5 ROMS, always the same result !...

With no SIM card, I can use the phone normally...

I searched the forum for tutorials, but I don't know what I miss...

However, I'm surprised that none of the tutorials explains how to "unlock" the phone...

I mean : I'm on a Virgin Mobile carrier, can I flash the phone with any ROM without considering it's origin ?...

The flashing procedure allows any type of KDZ file, but maybe I forget something ?...

Thanks a lot for your help !
[GT540 Optimus General] joostvhoek:
Try a factory reset after flashing.

[GT540 Optimus General] MikeGyver:
Easy but radical :D !!!

It works, but with only one ROM (a "Bouygues Telecom" one...) : better than nothing :rolleyes:...

Thank you very much !

With other ROMs I can't even access to the settings tab, the com.android.phone process hangs before I do anything :(

Any idea would be welcome :p
[GT540 Optimus General] MikeGyver:
Found the solution :D !

According to joostvhoek's post, Hard Reset is

THE

solution !

...but when Settings menu is inaccessible, return to factory settings is impossible...

So you just have to follow these instructions :

Hey guys,

I was tired and on accidentally put the most recent clockwork recovery onto my G-tab when i was reinstalling the Vegantab 5.1 Rom.

After the install it rebooted into a black screen that said "Magic Number Mismatch:" in red.

Even after this the device still gives me the "Magic Number Mismatch:" message.

I read the other threads and none of those solutions worked, nor did most of them apply to me since I can't even boot into clockwork.

any help would be appreciated :(
[G Tablet General] brookfield:
You will need to flash the "recovery partition" using nvflash.

I don't have a Windows phone, yet, but I am trying to prepere my contact lists for my new phone.

This is how I started:

I have an private exchange account with about 200 contacts.

I have made my exchange account a Windows Live, because i use mye exchange account with MSN Messenger (about 80 of 200 contacts)

In Windows Live, I have connected Facebook and Linkedin to sync contacts from this services.

How will this exampel contact look on Windows Phone ?

Exchange: Don Johnsen, mail@work.com, company phone: 1122334455

Windows Live: Don Johnsen, privat@msn.com

Facebook: Don Johnsen, mail@private.com, privat phone: 5544332211, Works for Company1, Private adresse: Privatelane 123

Linkedin: Don Johnsen, mail@work.com, Works for Company1, Company1 adresse, Company fax nr: 55555555

How will the calender look on Windows Phone ?

Will I get facebook events in the calender ?
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
You don't get Facebook events in the calendar by default. I don't know if there's a way to get them to show there.

Your LinkedIn contact info will show as Live. You can link multiple sources to one contact card, it works fairly well.
[Windows Phone 7 General] 2new:
Thanks.

Someone with an example of a contactcard with multiple contact info ?

What profile pictures will it use, or can I change from facebook, Linkedin or MSN ?

Will I be able to choose mailadress to send to ?
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
By default it uses the picture from Facebook, but you can change that and use a photo from a different contact source or from your phone.

Yes, you can choose email addresses.

It's difficult to show a contact card because there's no way to make a screenshot. There are pictures on the internet, a quick Google search will help you.
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
basically what happens is that you can "link" contact cards together, so that way you can see all the different information from the different places in 1 card. the disadvantage is that you will get double ups (so if you had the same email address for the person across 3 places, you'd see it 3 times in their contact card with it saying where each came from).

as for editting details, i'm not sure but from what i'm aware, you edit for 1 type. so for example, you had 1 contact with 3 different locations for data (your exchange, windows live, facebook), you cannot edit facebook of course, so what would happen is you would be given the option to edit which one you want (your exchange or windows live). so if you wanted the data to sync, you would have to edit twice, one for your windows live and one for your exchange. somewhat sucks, but that's the way it works. there might be third party applications (desktop) that can sync exchange with windows live regularly so you don't have to worry, but i'm not familiar enough with it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rsacipher:
I am having an issue with syncing new contacts. I connected LinkedIn to my Windows Live account. It updated some of my contacts that I already had and added others that were only in LinkedIn and not in the Live account.

They are showing up correctly in my Live account but the new contacts and updated info that LinkedIn merged are not syncing/showing on my phone.

Any ideas how to fix this?
