[Defy General] add.thebad:
it would be good. Im not sure what they say is actually true but rather a pr stunt trying to fix what a motorola person said on a you tube comment however it would be good. I doubt mororola would back track on unlocking it.

However the milestone's bootloader is cracked now so its not impossible and maby only a matter of time befor the defy gets a version of that exploit!
[Defy General] :
You sure about this?
[Defy General] komakaze:
The Androinc.net Project suggests that the Milestone isn't cracked yet. I'm donating some of my cpu cycles to the project. Hopefully a Milestone solution will carry benefits for the DEFY.
[Defy General] Step666:
I was under the impression the project had folded but it seems not.

Downloaded and installed the project, happy to let my PC contribute while it's not in use.

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/motorola-milestone-joins-the-gingerbread-gang/

if the milestone bootloader isnt cracked , can somebody explain how this is possible
[Defy General] Passa91:
Presumably through the same method they did Froyo ROMs before the official Froyo kernel leaked - my understanding was that it was just Froyo with the Eclair kernel.

I imagine this is Gingerbread with a Froyo kernel?
[Defy General] ccav2000:
I don't expect DEFY's bootloader to be unlocked any time soon, and I don't believe for a second that Motorola will give access to it as they claimed after the initial PR disaster of their employee who said they won't unlock it and if you want custom roms "you should buy elsewhere". That employee probably said the truth, just not in a PR friendly manner and their PR department had to do damage control after it. The incident is described here for those who don't know it yet.
[Defy General] kashavsehra:
I don't understand this fully either, maybe someone can clarify? We all know that the bootloader is locked down, unlike other manufacturers. However we are still having custom roms being developed for Defy. I thought the whole point of an unlocked bootloader would allow flashing of custom roms, but we seem to be able to do this anyway. How is this possible with a locked bootloader? What advantage would unlocking the bootloader give us?
[Defy General] Le_Poilu:
Locked Bootloader means that you can't boot an unsigned Kernel.

All the Custom rom you can find for the Defy are made from official and signed ROM, no Kernel mods etc . (These are just mod of actual rom, non "new ROM" from AOSP i.e.)

That's why you can't have a full custom ROM with Custom Kernel (unless Motorola release a ROM with this Kernel signed)
[Defy General] AgentSmith:
Everything gets cracked these days no matter how complicated, everything! I am just hoping that the Defy gets popular enough for someone to start a similar project as for the Milestone where we can crack the bootloader with bruteforce calculations. I wish I had enough knowledge about software, source code and such because for sure I would have dedicated my freetime to set this up!
[Defy General] krkeegan:
I wouldn't hold out hope for the brute force method. The Milestone crew over at androinc_net is having a hard time maintaining funding and is teetering on failure already.

Plus the best estimate for running all of the possible keys at their current rate is 4x10^12 years. In other words the second coming of the dinosaurs may occur before they crack that.
[Defy General] Le_Poilu:
Not everything...

Some encryption are to strong to be forced. Today you just cant break some 256bit encryption just like that, it requiers to much computing power.

You may expect some master key leak (like for the HDCP, the BluRay, etc), but a brut force crack is really really hard to do (not impossible, but is it worth to play?).
[Defy General] yalouf:
What will be the result if the bootloader is cracked?
[Defy General] Step666:
Genuine custom ROMs.

Gingerbread without having to wait for a leaked Motorola signed ROM.
[Defy General] |ErosizeD|:
that's cool, that means...

Better 3d performance? higher I/O Reads, Better CPU Performance, better camera compression...etc? :D

And the famous 1.4-1.5Ghz Overclock?

Android 2.2 VS 2.3, make's any sense in performance terms?
[Defy General] psicodelico:
There are a group of guys trying to break the bootloader.

[Defy General] shorty66:
Motorola announced more information to come on the bootloaders yesterday via getsatisfaction.
[Defy General] switchgott:
Would realy great if it will be!

Maybe moto give us the sign key, so we can sign oure Roms for us with own kernel!

T
[Defy General] Exoten:
I really don't think Moto will open the bootloader easily. Controlling the roms is important for them.

They can lock everything (Defy hardware) and impose the use of their apps (collecting informations).

Losing this is certainly not viewed as great by marketing.
[Defy General] add.thebad:
on the droid x it sounds like their getting close just no drivers will work so no adb making things hard

if gingerbread can run on a froyo kernell on the milestone is the same method possible on the defy then?
[Defy General] Monkey007Man:
so with google buying motorola maybe that google unlocks the bootloader. or not?:confused:
[Defy General] zakoo2:
nope, google bought motorola for their patents. i think motorola will remain a partner of google, otherwise other companies like htc and samsung wont be supporting android that much...
[Defy General] lotfib:
As an answer to a Defy user on Facebook Motorola France announced the Defy won't be upgraded to Gingerbread and will never see its bootloader unlocked by Motorola.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Thunder Blade:
Hello

I have a problem with downloading e-mails to my rhodium. I use stock rom 6.1 (manila 2.1). This is really strange becouse if i create other account in phone (for example hotmail) it works good. Even when i turn off wifi and download e-mails by 3G from my gmail - it works good! But if i try to download e-mails from gmail by wifi then i see "Cannot connect to the incoming mail server. Be certain your login information is correct and then try again". My wifi works good at this time, i tried weather app, youtube, opera browser and everything is good. So what can be the problem? I just cant download mails from gmail only by wifi only :/

Please help, thanks.

edit:

I also noticed that i cant update weather forecast in manila (only by wifi) and i cant connect to myphone also only by wifi. But everything works in 3G. Can it all happen becouse of installing some cookec roms? Maybe using task29 and installing stock rom again could help?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yentlequible:
My gallery is picking up every single folder that I have with images in it for some reason. I define the folder as hidden but it still picks it up. Even when moving pictures from one folder to another, it sometimes takes days to see the change in the gallery, even after media scans...

I am running Cognition v3.02, could this be a problem with my rom?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
1. If u want no app to pick up media from any folder, create an empty file in it and name it ".nomedia".

2. If u want gallery only not to pick, rename the folder to start with a ".".gallery skips looking into folders beginning with a ".".

If u put the .nomedia file it wont be picked by any app, not just gallery.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artvandalay22222:
Make a text file, rename it to .nomedia and place it in any folder you don't want scanned by media scanner.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artvandalay22222:
I see some 1 near me to it
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yentlequible:
I already renamed the folders that I didn't want it to find and put a "." In front of it, but it finds them anyway.

Ill try the .nomedia thing and see if it works
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yentlequible:
Placed some files in a ".nomedia" folder but the gallery is still picking them up, even after a rescan.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yentlequible:
This is getting ridiculous... I even tried downloading an app meant to hide files from the gallery, but nothing is working.

Does anyone have a solution?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
Reboot pls after putting that .nomedia file. It will work for sure.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yentlequible:
Nope... Even after a reboot, the pictures in my .nomedia file still show in the gallery.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SeanHacker:
for some reason my gallery is really, really slow at loading up all the pictures. i hate it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vunuts:
I believe you misunderstood. You don't put the files IN the .nomedia folder, you go to the location where the files are and make a .nomedia folder in there.

For example, say you have some icons in a folder that is named "icons". Us My Files or Astro to open that folder so you can see all those files, press the menu button, create new folder, name it ".nomedia" without quotes, rescan.

That should take care of it. When you're done, it should be:

.nomedia(folder with nothing in it!)

image.jpeg

image.png

song.mp3

This screenshot is an example of what it should look like.

And if you just have certain pictures or files or icons that you don't want to show up, but are in the same folder, easiest way to do it is to create a new folder and move all files that you don't want visible into that folder, and within that folder make a .nomedia folder and rescan.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fluidd:
Lagfix fixes this up quite a bit! Also, depends on the r/w speed of your SD card I believe. Mine is a Class 2 and it is so slow, so now I put all Media on my Internal SD now. External is for all my music.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yentlequible:
Still did not work. I made a new folder and out images in it, but after a rescan AND a reboot, gallery still has them showing.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AtoZ0to9:
are you creating a blank file with no extension called .nomedia and placing it inside each folder where pics exist you dont want in the gallery?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yentlequible:
Yes. I'm starting to think my gallery is just messed up. The pictures I hide show up but if I try and view them it shows a blank screen for most of them.
[G2 and Desire Z General] hipertec:
Been testing my stock G2 with Quantant and noticed that its been really slow. I use to get 1500-1600, now 1000.

Anyone know how I can see is using all my resources?

Best way to clean up the G2?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Carloswithac:
Wipe it and see if it helps.

Quadrant is very inacurate. I wouldn't trust it.

[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
does it feel slow in day to day use? if not then I wouldnt worry what quadrant tells you.
[G2 and Desire Z General] gbarayah:
I have read in another thread somewhere in the forums that many people are getting lower scores in Quadrant since the recent update to the application.

Before the update, I scored in the 2200 range (running @ 1.5/performance). I just ran Quadrant now, with the same settings and scored 1600...

The device is running the same, its just some tweaks with Quadrant that are delivering the lower scores. Unless the phone is lagging or having problems, I wouldn't worry about it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] wluther:
The only thing I have noticed over the last 3 months since I have been using my G2 is the time to load the "Gallery" seems to take much longer.

Sometimes it loads right up, sometimes it loads up showing the placeholders, and other times (more often then not now) it opens up the "Gallery" to a blank/yellow background, then just hangs there for up to about a minute or so without showing anything and then either crashes or finally opens/shows the pictures/gallery.
[G2 and Desire Z General] TJBunch1228:
Throw CM7 on there and crank that ***** up to 11. I OC'd to 1.5 and got a 2500 quadrant last night. I am perfectly happy OC'd to about 1.1 though, so no need to risk damage to the CPU by leaving it OC'd so high.

When I am in landscape mode with keyboard open...then close the keyboard and make it portrait, the home icons don't show up until 10-15 seconds later. Anyone know why? Otherwise, it seems ok in speed except for this switching from landscape to portrait and the icon shortcuts are not there.

Oh yeah that's no good...... have you tried different ROMs?

I'm still on the stock rom. I'm actually pretty happy with the stock rom, except for this problem.

I have the same issue. I'm so used to seeing it that I forgot it was a "bug" :-/.

Running stock btw.
[G2 and Desire Z General] hipertec:
well im glad im not the only one with the landscape to portrait switching lag... but I wish someone can help in finding what is causing this....anyone?
[G2 and Desire Z General] lost800:
There are two other posts on this - no one has any solution.

I have that problem as well using stock launcher.

But many people use launcher pro, or ADW, with those launchers you do not get this problem. I'm guessing the majority of people on XDA use a non-stock launcher so this problem doesn't really get any attention.

I don't know if it's Launcher Pros fault or not, but after I installed it my phone started shutting down randomly. Reflashed and restored using TB and it's still doing the same thing with it uninstalled...
[G2 and Desire Z General] DJAeroX26:
Same problem here. With the Gallery lag thingy too. And now all HQ or HD videos on youtube epically fail when playing. I uninstalled and reinstalled youtube but the same keeps happening...very annoying :/ I heart my G2 idk what happened. I don't have many apps that would make the phone lag or have video problems (yes I just checked...even gallery videos are choppy)

Sammys Custom WP7 Theme

This is the first custom theme for Windows Phone 7 it is still in beta and some things don't work. At this point you can change the wallpaper but only to a color. I also changed the keyboard to a custom color :D .

Ive decided to release it for people to try, theres no easy way to do this cause its not final yet so, it requires work but its worth it :D Okay you'll need a cheveron unlocked device, RegistryEditor 1.1.0.0, and HTC Connection Setup (download link below). directions in second post.

I'm not responsible for any thing that happens to your phone.

Thanks!!! :D

This is the concept

This is what I have so far

Downloads:

RegistryEditor 1.1.0.0: http://www.mediafire.com/?lj6sxpx3ztemqbp

HTC Connection Setup: http://www.mediafire.com/?40f78iugimv653g

(For those that want to change the tile colors sideload this app and from there its straight forward)

AdvancedConfig: http://www.mediafire.com/?bij7xe5szccrdr3

Thanks to Julien Schapman for RegistryEditor 1.1.0.0 and AdvancedConfig and Xboxmod for the help
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Samsunguy:
Instructions

1. Sideload the apps you download above

2. Run HTC Connection Setup and got through setup

3. Open RegistryEditor, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Themes\

4. Okay you have the choice to pick a theme you would like to edit unfortunately you cant just create a theme (Im working on that). 0 is the light theme and 1 is the dark theme i chose to edit the light theme since it takes up power. So click whatever theme you would like to edit.

5. on the light theme i have provided the original text that was there if you decide to switch (someone can post the dark theme original settings)

Original settings for light theme
BaseThemeColor: #FFFFFFFF
ChromeColor: #FFDDDDDD
ContrastColor: #FF000000
KeyPadBackground: #FFFFFFFF
ListPickerBackground: #FFDDDDDD
ListPickerBackgroungPressed: #FFE5E5E5
PageBackgroundColor: #FFFFFFFF
SysTrayBackgroundColor: #FFFFFFFF

6. These are the only ones i recommend you to edit, For example, PageBackgroundColor is the background color on all non-custom pages, such as People, Start, Settings, etc.

7. I recommend editing the BaseThemeColor for the Custom Color Keyboard, PageBackgroundColor for your background color.

8. For Example My blue theme

BaseThemeColor: #FF0080FF
ChromeColor: #FFDDDDDD
ContrastColor: #FF000000
KeyPadBackground: #FFFFFFFF
DisplayName: Samsunguy
ListPickerBackground: #FFDDDDDD
ListPickerBackgroungPressed: #FFE5E5E5
PageBackgroundColor: #FF0080FF
SysTrayBackgroundColor: #FFFFFFFF
TransparentBackgroundColor: #AA0080FF

9. I only changed three lines and everything else stayed the same.

10. for your own colors visit (http://www.colorschemer.com/online.html) chose the color and copy the six digit number/letter of the color.

10. to apply your color simply delete the last six numbers (Keep The First Two Letters/Numbers in original Value Data!) then replace those last six numbers you deleted with your six numbers you got from your color chosen.

11. After applying your changes run the HTC Connection Setup, then restart the phone go to settings/themes and then chose the one you edited, simple :D Enjoy!!

If you have any questions visit the irc channel (#htc-wp-chat) and ill be glad to answer them or you can just post you question :D

For Transparency

to get transparent tiles just make the accent color transparent..

its in an alpha hex code form...

the first 2 letters are for alpha channel!!

so that means 0-255 in dec.

0-ff in hex

0 is fully transparent, ignore rest of color values..

FF is 0% trans.

Many thanks to futureshock for figuring that out :D

Version 1 --- release

Now that´s a nice looking concept... I wonder why MS did not include it this way from the beginning...

But, kind of "as usual", there is always some skilled person like you here at xda who fixes what they forgot...

Looking forward to your finished product... I am a fan of "transparency" and nice home screen backgrounds (as a matter of fact, that´s one of the few things I miss in comparison to Sense...
