10-4. Thank you.

I do like the battery life on this ROM version, not sure why some Sense ROMs suck up battery more than others . For now will gladly trade longer battery time for less storage. I still have 400MB of space left and this should be plenty. My configuration is pretty much the same phone ROM to phone ROM to phone ROM and not many apps other than the install for my Corp email will keep large amounts of data in the phone memory. If storage space becomes an issue, then I'll to EXTSD, but for now battery is WAY more important.

Just to mention it, Rosie 3.0 is made for 190DPI and works great in it on Unity.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] El Cipitio:
The question mark isnt working for me
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] 82_Z28:
yeah unfortunately I haven't found a fix for that just yet. I have one keymap that has the question mark but a few quirks and another that doesn't but has the www. set to tab (which I tend to use more)

still, I may end up switching back to the ? instead of tab in the next release if I can't get both

Yeah I noticed. In fact it looks good a density levels even lower than that which is something I'm planning for a alternative release down the line but its not been started just yet. But the fact that its now an option is nice. The reason they work well under lower density numbers is probably due to their new 3d launcher which needs more flexible images rather than their previous hard coded coordinate based images. This means that instead of looking messed up they stretch with the screen density.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] malloy0:
Wondering if a more stock kernel might be avaiable to get the battery life to go a little longer. Generally for a Sense ROM this seems pretty good, but always trying to get a littl more out of the DZ.

Have not tried this kernel, but assume given it is OCd it will NOT be kind to battery life.

Thoughts?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] 82_Z28:
I haven't personally tested this yet (but it might be the default setup in the next update) Below is a quote with a patch that removes the OC and should yield better battery life

This is from the 1st post of the Virtuous Unity Sense 3.0 thread.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] malloy0:
I have flashed this .13 kernal and then flashed the OC off patch.

Battery life for me is excellent. Speed, smoothness, wifi, camera all works like it is supposed too. No FCs, overall GREAT.

Frankly, for me this is the best Sense ROM I have used. I do use LPro vs. Rosie and also got to some different blue theme stuff than the straight v0.9 has. Really, really like this ROM.

So, thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] 82_Z28:
Sensored Blizzard V1.0 has now finally been uploaded for your flashing needs

HTC Widgets Note:

Added a new Home Switcher app, so you can switch between Roise (HTC Sense UI) & Launcher Pro at any time.

Hacked Market Note:

Recently google decided to push a new policy that effects users with custom LCD Density (screen res mods) and you get a "This application is not compatible with you device" error. This ROM comes with a hacked version of the market 3.3.11 with a hard coded 240 value that fools market into thinking all is ok no matter what number you decide to use. Despite all this, after a while it wears off, unless you clear the data folder for market, so I've setup a script to automatically do this every time you reboot.

ENJOY :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] masterismos:
LETS TEST IT :) . are tweaks included? whose ? virtuous ,rcmix? hope this one maybe is not laggy like other themed roms. nice work.

edit: put the phone down and grab a beer? hahaha...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chocohagelslagje:
Thanks, gonna try this one out, very curious.

Edit: very nice themed (no snow here so why not on your phone ;) ) and good to have a option to change the launchers when you like and also the dpi. Thanks for this nice rom!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xdadevolpers:
Good work , but tu much themed
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] masterismos:
Ok I am impressed! I didn't expect this Rom will be so smooth. Good work if you can find and add tweaks from mikmik or coredroid this ROM will be perfect. Very very good 150 mb free ram Wow!

Send from other space!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xT4Z1N4TRx:
Will try this 8)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] coachmoore:
Love the ROM, just can't deal with changing the resolution everytime I reboot it. Good work though!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] masterismos:
use rom toollbox and go to tweaks and set your preference settings about your lcd (mine is at 240)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] coachmoore:
I'll give it a shot, thank you!
[Captivate General] nickm50:
As much as we all like to complain about our cappy's, one thing that we cannot argue about is how handy they are. I remember when having an html browser on your phone was a big deal.

I'm curious as to how you guys and girls use your captivates, that have caused a "WOW" moment among family, friends or casual acquaintance's.

I have one, to share for now,

I have my PC hooked to my tv and run movies through VLC media player. I use VLCremote to control vlc through wifi. Every time someone sees me use my phone to select a movie off my pc, and play it on the tv, they have an absolute fit, and don't believe that I am controlling the movie with my phone.

I have to let them play with it before it sinks in that it is possible. Then, even when they have control. they still have this puzzled look on their face.

Its one of those things that I can't get bored of doing to people, and it always seems to have the same effect! :)
[Captivate General] Brandonn:
This is kind of an Android thing but a simple live wallpaper still amazes my friends.
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
I have "Wow that was retarded" moments.
[Captivate General] TRusselo:
i navigate my media too using PlugPlayer, and windows media sharing service.

but i also get a kick out of syncing my bluetooth keyboard to my phone.

my keyboard has a touchpad on it and i can navigate my captivate with a mouse cursor!!

Logitech DiNovo Edge
[Captivate General] maxjivi05:
Play movies then stream from phone to ps3...
[Captivate General] kusanagisan18:
My best wow moments are whenever I use Subsonic or Audiogalaxy to access my music collection at home and with the Voodoo sound enhancements, my captivate has completely replaced my iPod classic.

Allshare is also amazing. It's fun to be able to stream TV shows to the phone

And one of the most amazing things to me is that my Captivate has become a universal remote of sorts. I use it to control Media Player Classic, foobar2000, itunes and a few other aspects of my computer. That's what usually impresses my friends the most
[Captivate General] pontiac005:
The nice and bright screen catches the eye of everyone at my work.
[Captivate General] a.vandelay:
when i first got it, coming from an iphone 2g, the screen blew me away. then i started using it, and had a lot of "wow this sucks" moments.

oh, and voodoo lagfix was a wow moment. and lcddensity.
[Captivate General] jgr208:
Vnc through my phone to my computer over 3g for a remote desktop, and ssh through my phone.
[Captivate General] fatbas202:
I love how flexible Android is with all of the apps and the awesomeness of GPL.

As mentioned, VLC Remote is awesome to use in your home theater.

Mythmote lets me control all of my Mythfrontend boxes.

Chrome to Phone (and Fox to Phone in FF) with Bookmark to Desktop lets me seamlessly move between my phone and desktop as computing devices.

Firebird 2 kernel gives me BLN, the ability to mount CIFS shares, and use OpenVPN to get at my files that I don't want to trust to Dropbox even gives other Captivate owner a 'wow' moment.

Using ConnectBot to SSH to different systems at home to move around files or anything else is awesome.

RDP/VNC connectivity, Transdroid, Wifi Analyzer, and the free Square card reader and app just add to the awesomeness of Android.

Last, but not least, the combination of Titanium Backup and the amazing Devs here at XDA make it possible to reinstall my phone (a concept complete foreign to almost everyone else) at a moment's notice.
[Captivate General] cavsoldier19d:
Any "Wow" moments that I have had with my captivate, is thanks to the Android OS and how versatile it is...like the very first time I used the bar code scanner to pull up merchandise online. In reguards to the actual phone itself, the only time I had a "Wow" moment was when i installed a custom ROM for the first time and realized how much faster, more responsive, and smoother it is capable of running.
[Captivate General] freekquency:
Taking panoramics of the redwoods in muir woods this past weekend was pretty Wow!
[Captivate General] flashy_mcflash:
Controlling XBMC from the phone with the app was amazing and works so well. Similarly, playing files over the network and using the phone as a touchpad for my PC with Gmote is also a really cool experience.
[Captivate General] snaai8:
The screen size never stops to amaze my friends. Whenever my cappy gets on my pocket everyone is like Oh my god o.o thats a huge screen, how can you even hold it etc.. xD
[Captivate General] bishmaster5000:
Whipping out pandora at a party, hooked into a stereo. the screen if course is very impressive to everyone.
[Captivate General] shiftylock:
Mine was probably when I was using poweramp and I turned the bass up really high, and my stereo speakers vibrated so much that stuff was falling off my desk. Then I got a call, and my ringtone is that Nokia tune (lol, don't judge me) and it turned my "wow" into a "lol" :P
[Captivate General] parshantx:
LOL! same!

they're also amazed by the 3d APP DRAWER

;D
[Captivate General] Dani897:
when people see how thin the naked phone is they are usually impressed. people dont have the slightest clue what this is. many droid x's and fascinates here but no captivates. people like verizon i guess. the att users have iphails, and most of them have broken screens with screen protectors put over it after the fact to avoid cutting there fingers. (no insurance is a ***** ain't it, seriously i know 3 people with iphone4's and they all have broken glass and live with it)

i use graphing calculator apps to plot the movement of a piston in an engine to demostrate the effects of connecting rod length to people and to calculate actual compression ratios based on valve closing angle. people are amazed when they see a phone with such versitle calculators. i did the same on my iphone too. there are even apps out there that can graph equations with 3 vaiables in 3d space.

i also have a samsung dlna plasma screen tv. movie sharing is always impressive to people.
[Captivate General] s1l3nt:
wow at hsupa and smooth kernels
[Captivate General] big samm:
I dont think that hsupa is enabled on my Rogers captivate... Wow
[Captivate General] SkateEmerica987:
Most of my friends are tech-impared iphone users, so even the simplest stuff in android impresses them. Along with the samoled screen like others have said, just showing them widgets or the pull down menu gives them wow moments, simply because they don't know anything better than ios. But as for little more technically inclined friends of mine, I'd say the gameboy, nes, and playstation emulators really impress alot of people. Oh, and the fact that angry birds is free, that pisses them off.
[Captivate General] sugardeath:
Mostly it's the screen. A buddy of mine, who has the Galaxy S Epic, and I were comparing our Super AMOLED screens to another friend's iPhone 4. We, of course, won pretty clearly.

Then there's the easy SSH access with ConnectBot, control of my torrent server with Transdroid, streaming music from my home PC using MPDroid, and the ever important custom roms and themes.
[Captivate General] shen long:
The first time I was able to get Google Navigation was my wow moment. Everytime it didnt work afterwards was my wow this sucks moment. Flashing Paragon5.1 and seeing how much faster Android 2.2.1 is over v2.1 is and, having a fast working gps finally on my cappy was my most recent wow moment.
[Captivate General] rbtconsultants:
Using tasker on my phone to unlock the door of my house and turn on the house lights when I pull up to my house. Monitoring/changing the thermostat in my house from anywhere.

Playing music over bluetooth on the audio system around my pool while sitting on the deck.

These are the things that make people say "wow, cool".
[Captivate General] thunderstar2500:
Wow, is what I'm saying now that I can't put my captivate down now that I installed Phoenix Rising, finally moving away from stock.
[Captivate General] xThe Enforcer:
Most of my friends are "WOW"ed by:

720P Movie quality/Super Ampler Screen

GPS Lock on in seconds within a few feet

No lag

Plays games with no problem/emulators

GMAIL Push Notification is accurate to the second

Sound quality
[Captivate General] bpk59:
You can mount CIFS shares on your phone with Firebird 2? Awesome! Is this a standard feature of most kernels, or something specific to this one?
[Captivate General] nlancaster:
Downloaded an ebook from my home server thru ftp, and the app to read it in less then 60 seconds. My cousin with his Iphone 4 had been bragging about how fast his phone was. He attempted the same thing, and it took 60seconds just to find the app and download that.
[Captivate General] Johnnie5000:
"Wow, you're on your 6th captivate? I thought those were supposed to be good phones?" Beat that. Got the first in late July, got the sixth (4th refurb) in late January.
[Captivate General] kennonk:
When I am sitting around my livingroom with friends and I whip out my phone and push a couple buttons in allshare and Zombieland or an episode of Dexter suddenly starts playing on my TV. Or when I plug my phone into the TV and start playing Final Fantasy 7 on the psx emulator on my TV. Or family comes over to visit and I start playing a video of one of my kid's dance recitals on the big screen via allshare...stuff like that.

I also get a lot of comments about how sharp and colorful the screen is from my co-workers who are mostly DroidX and iPhone users.
[Captivate General] gjgcomputers:
Android + Captivate = Rocks

Well, I'm surrounded by Iphones so every time I got some free app that they have to pay it's a wow effect on them.

The easy way of how to root a Captivate, it was a wow effect on my Iphonian friends.

The terminal and Teamviewer were another wow effects.

Something as simple as the Contact Join, it was a wow effect.

I installed a rom that was very close to Gingerbread, and it was another wow effect on a Nexus S user. LOL.

Anyway, to many to count, Android Rocks and I'm very happy with my captivate.
[Captivate General] FLAC Vest:
Overclocking, undervolting (for the technical parts)

Being able to virtually do anything and the live wallpapers always amaze people who don't know about them.

Captivate 2.2.1 Paragon
[Captivate General] FLAC Vest:
Lol that happened the 2nd ttime I flashes 5.1; the first time I forgot to master clear and the phone was still slow. After the most recent flash; I was completely blown away by the sspeed. (OC 1.2)

Captivate 2.2.1 Paragon
[Captivate General] phlunkie:
Remote control for mediaportal.

Themes.

Transparent apps.

Freedom to change any things on my phone to the way I want.

Fighting with swype.

And my favorite wow factor is xda. Allowing us to fix our phones.

Sent transparently through the tubes.
[Captivate General] bamachevrolet:
The day I switched from iPhone(all gens) ...was a big time "wow" for me
[Captivate General] fatbas202:
I've seen it in a couple of Android kernels. DG's Firebird 2 is the only one that I know for sure has it on the Captivate, but it's becoming more and more common.

Makes streaming video so much easier and cleaner.
[Captivate General] Vivified:
Using my Captivate from work to queue up some torrent downloads at home. Big WOW!
[Captivate General] DarkDvr:
Wow @ the tags of this thread =))
[Captivate General] id10terrordfw:
"Wow the Inspire is a much better phone than my Captivate!"

I do still have both and plan on using the Captivate as a Media Player in my car. It is actually really great for that.
[Captivate General] nickm50:
Here's another one.

Syncing with Itunes to vote on Itunes DJ.

The "Apple People" really don't like that too much. But I got a kick out of it.
[Android Software Development] hyperbyteX:
whenever I use

tv.setText("Game Over!"); setContentView(tv);

my program crashes (note: tv is an object of the TextView class)

Before this call is made the program is set to a default view that contains a text view, buttons, etc. But the crash only happens when I call the method to change the view. Any ideas?
[Android Software Development] Lakers16:
You probably wouldnt wanna do setContentView on a textview, unless its the only thing you want on the screen. Are you creating the textview dynamically? (In the java code) Or is this a textview you create in the xml. If you are doing it dynamically, are you giving it LayoutParams first?
[Android Software Development] hyperbyteX:
Yes its dynamic. What kind of LayoutParams do you mean?
[Android Software Development] Lakers16:
If you just create a new textview...

TextView text = new TextView(context);

its just floating around not attached to anything. Just create a quick layout with a textview in it, and do

setContentView(R.layout.layout2);
[Android Software Development] smaskell:
or you could try

tv.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParam.WRAP_CONTENT,LayoutParam.WRAP_CONTENT));
[Android Software Development] hyperbyteX:
It still crashes, no matter what I do as soon as I try to do anything with the TextView tv, it crashes

setting it works: final TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.stats);

But doing ANYTHING with tv crashes.

Examples:

tv.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,LayoutParams. WRAP_CONTENT));

tv.setText("testing");

Anything I'm overlooking?
[Android Software Development] Lakers16:
Well for starters you cant change anything about a variable that you declare as final..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vwgtiturbo:
Hi there, long time reader, first post here :)

I've been running Myn's RLS4 with Clockwork 2.6 for a while, and have had no problems installing (flashing) zip files. Recently, I upgraded to RLS5 (still with Clockwork 2.6) and everything was still good to go (in reference to the Gingerbread keyboard, and Dark Coconut font zips in particular).

Well, I updated CWMod to 3.0 yesterday (after basically starting over with the phone... long story) and for some reason, the GB keyboard and Coconut fonts give an 'installation aborted' error now. The only thing that has changed was CWMod, but it just isn't making any sense. Before the abort, the recovery says something about the scripting being deprecated, and switching to Edify scripting (which it showed in the past when the flashing would work), but for some reason, with CW 3.0, it aborts the installation.

I've tried toggling script asserts and signature validation, to no avail. Is there something really simple I am missing, or I am going to have to find another zip to accommodate CW 3?

Thanks in advance for any insight!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragoniusFUZE:
I've been having that problem too, there are still a few things I can't flash, but it's the cw mod you're using. I haven't found the right one yet, but I've been flashing them from ROM manager... if anything goes through i'll let you know :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aburgthing:
Go back to CW 2.6. Everything will be back to normal. There were changes with the 3.0 update to CW. Anyway 2.6 works and this is the answer to your problem. Also the 2.6 version backs up Wimax.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vwgtiturbo:
I reverted back to 2.5.x from within ROM Manager, and all seems well. I think my nandroids were done with 2.6 (I remember seeing the system back up WIMAX during the process), so I should probably find a way to upgrade it 2.5.x to 2.6, right? I assume, if I did in fact have 2.6 before the update to 3.0, that my nandroid backups are worthless??
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghost1227:
I switched to Amon Ra and haven't regretted it :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vwgtiturbo:
I suppose now is as good of a time as any... I was avoiding it, because it's different (and CWM is pretty easy with ROM Manager) but I've had issues in the past with corrupt backups every now and then, so maybe this is the time to move. I don't think I've ever heard of issues with Amon Ra...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vwgtiturbo:
Well, I flashed Amon from ROM Manager, and upon reboot... well, it never rebooted. The screen just stayed black. It was completely dead until pulling the battery (which sucks, pulling the phone from this Ballistic case) but after reinstalling the battery, all is well. I just wish there was some sort of progress indicator during the backup (besides a seemingly endless line of dots).
[Legend Accessories] mikereidis:
Do you use screen protection ?

The LG Optimus Chic I tried and returned was known to have easy to scratch plastic, so I had Bell apply their $20 iShieldz before I took it home. It made it feel somewhat rubbery and I didn't like that too much.

I'm planning to devote one pants pocket exclusively to the phone, so hopefully that will help, but sooner or later stuff happens. I DID enjoy that video of a Legend dropped/thrown onto the sidewalk three times... LOL.

Is the Legend known to have a robust, relatively scratch-resistant screen ? Is protection needed ?

Is your Legend "naked" or what do you use and why ?
[Legend Accessories] Skardy:
"Naked" legend.

I'm very careful with my phones, my legend doesn't have a single scratch yet :D
[Legend Accessories] Botloos:
My legend is "naked" aswell.

I try to use it as less as possible when my hands are dirty, wich they are most part of the day being a car mechanic. But after 7 months of use not a single scratch yet.
[Legend Accessories] mikereidis:
Cool, thanks for the responses.

So far 4 of 5 responded "naked" and I haven't voted in the poll myself.

So I guess I'll go without protection too. I imagine touchscreen response is best that way and you'd THINK a good product shouldn't need after-market protection. Although they might sell more phones in the long run if the phones got beat up quickly.
[Legend Accessories] frentraken:
Ya being a glass screem it seems to be pretty well scrath proof, as I'd assume anything hitting strong enough to scratch will end up doing more than just a scratch. Though I do have a sticker on the back of the phone, as I have scratched the case a bit from drops. :-p
[Legend Accessories] Dr.Romca:
Naked as well, no scratches so far :)
[Legend Accessories] mikereidis:
Oh, OK, now I see. The Legend screen uses glass and the Optimus uses plastic.

This is my first cellphone or post 2000 PDA and I wasn't aware the manufacturer had a choice of materials.

My vote is naked then.
[Legend Accessories] grandioso:
I use a screen shield. If you apply it carefully, nobody will notice. Not even you.
