Live wallpaper chooser?

Hi,

First off great idea. Was gonna do the same to update my ROM, but now I don't have to ;)

Question: Is there any way to integrate the Live Wallpaper chooser into this ROM, and/or whatever else is necesary for LWP support?

Thanks again! :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] setherd:
stuck at htc magic screen for me. :(

mytouch 3G 1.2 (w/ 3.5mm jack)

hboot 1.33.0013d

radio- 2.22.28.25
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cougar694u:
You could open it up in the kitchen and try to add it. I don't know whatever framework might be needed, though.

My hboot is 1.33.0013, no d on the end, same radio, though. I don't have the HTC magic screen, though, that sounds like an actual Magic 32A device. I still have the standard green myTouch boot screen.

Fixed, thx!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] guy8zv:
special port?

This is a special port from 32B. This rom work good on my mt3g 32b as well as my fender 1.2 ...

What about APP2SD?

Didn't even make it to boot animation for me, Never got past splash screen. OH well i just wanted to check it out. I run COS-DS for a daily anyways, I'm just a flashaholic. I like to check em all out. lol
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] gzzf:
I love the ROM so much! speedy, stable and good bettery performance. I think it is one of the best rom for my touch 3G. It would be perfect that we can have SMS font setting(such as font size and black background) and contact info font size setting... looking forward for the next version...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cougar694u:

Passing the phone to my daughter :( I'm gonna miss the phone, but on to why I'm posting.

I had been using the phone with COS, but used clockworkmod to fully wipe, format boot, system, data, cache, dalvik cache, and then flashed this ROM. I got the exact same issue that some of you got, it was stuck at the MyTouch logo and had to pull the battery.

I went back into CWM, did a factory wipe, reflashed this ROM, and it booted fine. Just thought I'd share, FWIW.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cougar694u:
I bought a soft-bricked mt3g 1.2 yesterday and was able to restore using the goldcard method, loaded CM6.1 and it worked fine. I wiped and loaded this ROM and it booted fine, as well.

Interesting article on MSNBC:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/41485079/ns/technology_and_science-wireless/

Confirms what we already knew. The article doesn't mention the fact that even in areas that have "4G", the coverage is spotty at best. Here in Charlotte, I rarely even attempt to use 4G since I can usually only pick up a signal near the uptown area, and I'd rather save my battery.
[Epic 4G General] stevesprivateaccount:
I would guess in theory the writer meant side-by-side as meaning the phones were side by side, and that this was NOT an apples-to-apples comparison. Interesting read regardless.
[Epic 4G General] ED2O9:
For what it's worth, his numbers are a pretty close match to what I'm getting using SpeedTest. In fact, his 4G speeds were slightly faster than mine.
[Epic 4G General] Jayavarman:
Try this 4G tweak.

[Epic 4G General] sndtubes:
It's highly dependent on where you are. Mine will vary from 1 Megabit to 8 plus megabits. I'm very unhappy with Sprint at this point, but all of the other carriers look even worse.......
[Epic 4G General] ED2O9:
I actually used that tweak, and it greatly improved my ability to get a 4G signal. I didn't see any significant speed improvement though.
[Epic 4G General] dwd3885:
Totally irrelevant tests. It all depends on where you are. I get rough 8-10mbps on Sprint 4G in St. Louis. You can't talk about LTE because there are so few people actually using it. Once you get people on LTE, the number will be similar I'm imagining.
[Epic 4G General] ED2O9:
In defense of Sprint, their voice signal strength is MUCH better than Verizon. I was a Verizon customer for years, and I moved into an area where I only got 1 or 2 bars. Then over the summer, for some unknown reason, the signal strength dropped to practically nothing. They offered to sell me a network extender for $150 or else I could "stand outside to make a call". When I balked on those options, they allowed me to terminate my contract with no fee (got to keep the phones too!). Sprint's signal is much better, the contract is cheaper and they even sent me a free AirRave network extender (waived the $5 monthly fee) because I had some "dead-spots" in my house.
[Epic 4G General] testacon:
I thought that I heard that Sprint was throttling their 4G speeds to prevent network saturation. Does that ring a bell for anyone?
[Epic 4G General] gsrboy171:
it really depends in the location. my modded epic got 6mbps 4 times in Manhattan. but in my house i get over 4mbps on a average.
[Epic 4G General] Jayavarman:
I average around 3Mbps at my home. That is good enough for me, considering the unlimited data plan.
[Epic 4G General] hayabusa1300cc:
I dislike when people their results like be all end all on something totally varying on time, and location.

I get 8.5 usual, general 5 to 9 anytime random test, and 10 to 13.5 when I'm peaking. In the same area tmo 4g struggles to get past 3. All within my home.

[Epic 4G General] bighuta:
I get roughly 4-5 on average here in Denver but peak has been around 8Mbps
[Epic 4G General] pipskicks:
#1. I really believe that the area is very important (when I move around my speeds change)

#2. I feel that 4g is pretty cool and fast, I don't have wifi at home at the moment (router went out) and when I need to download I hit 4g first and it goes blazing fast.

So I'd be on the other side, it's new technology so you can't expect the world. If you guys really want to complain, try EDGE on ATT and T-Mobile compared to regular Sprint speeds :rolleyes:

Not a Sprint fanboy, but I do think that CDMA kills GSM in my experience.
[Epic 4G General] running_the_dream:
My 4G in philly suburbs is around 3-6.5mbps. I'm usually in the 6 range though. Never get into the 7s. From my understanding, Verizon's LTE is the fastest (lowest latency, faster download/upload speed), Sprint 4G is second and Apple's fugazi 4G is the worst of the three. I'm not sure about TMo or the other so-called 4G providers.
[Epic 4G General] Top Nurse:
I get decent 4G in Long Beach, Ca of about 6mbs, but I'm moving to Cocoa Beach, Fl where there is no 4G. Not changing carriers as Verizon has worse cell service. At least I can sit on patio facing the atlantic ad still talk. However, the cable wifi there is outrageous.

I went to san antonio and speed test on my stock epic was 2 down 1 up. I had a lay over in georgia I think and it was a little less than 2 down and 1 up again. not the numbers you people are seeing. is this because I am bone stock or are those the speeds in those areas. the speed test results were pretty much the same no matter where I ran the test. couldnt get 4g in fort worth airport.
[Epic 4G General] poit:
Same here. I've read that Sprint's markets are getting widely varying speeds on their 4G. Wonder where these MSNBC tests were done?
[Epic 4G General] mrjuboy:
Rather displeased w/ Sprint 4G in Seattle

I'll agree that the "test" in the article was rather unscientific, but the author noted that much.

Based on my own usage here in the Seattle area, I am averaging 1.75 mbps. I have seen a peak speed over 3 twice, ever. The speeds commonly drop below 1 mbps in my apt. Not exactly mind-blowing, or the 3-6 meg averages I was expecting.

I will note the signal is considerably faster (2-3 mbps avg) on the Eastside of the lake.

To be fair, my gripe is only with the advertised (projected) 4G speeds and the actual speeds I am seeing. As far as cell phone coverage/performance goes, I am pleased w/ Sprint. But I'm now looking to jump to Virgin Mobile as it's WAY cheaper (still Sprint network/coverage) and I am already getting slow speeds anyway. Why pay more?
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
My wimax speeds here in nyc have been onpar or better than what the sites post they got on verizon lte, and I always have aster speeds than the articles abou sprint so it goes back to the "do I have the best coverage in my area with this carrier?" Question
[Epic 4G General] globalninja:
Just did a quick speed test and i'm getting 6.5 mbs down and 1.2 mbps up. That's as fast as my home wifi network, maybe even faster heh.

I'm in san antonio by the way.
[Epic 4G General] formula84:
In south jersey in my apartment, 1 bar 4g gets me 1.5, when I get good signal (not often) I peak at around 3.5, not too pleased.
[Epic 4G General] Eazail70x7:
Depends on location. I'm here in Baltimore where it was first started and my coverage and speeds have actually been quite amazing. Downloading is so fast and browsing is fast too. Guess I lucked out...
[Epic 4G General] AproSamurai:
Ahhhhh, I don't necessarily need my 4G in my home, my upload and download through wifi beats out the 4G speeds of the area I'm in.
[Epic 4G General] nikon120:
Truth here.

My company is testing out one of the new LTE broadband cards for Verizon. We consistently see 30MB down, yes that is thirty megabytes downstream. This is in the New Orleans metro area, which does not have Sprint 4G coverage sadly for me to compare w/ my Epic.

It all depends on your area, the population stressing the network at that time and your proximity to the closest tower or signal booster.
[Epic 4G General] Jayavarman:
What is the monthly data allowance?
[Epic 4G General] RushAOZ:
Its a strange situation where I live. The only parts of the city I've been where I get no 4g coverage is at my girlfriends house. EVERYWHERE else I've been I've had a connection. I run speedtest at places where I'm curious about the speed. I get a healthy 700-800kb/s dl with a 150kb/s upload. 150 average ping at my home. Now the strange thing is that my city is poor lol. I dont understand why Sprint is working hard at 4g here. Personally working at radioshack for 3 years they even installed a repeater at my store. Kudos to sprint in connecticut atleast. Sorry about the rest of you guys. Im sure I'd be pissed too.

Actually come to think of it the carrier we sell most is sprint... by at least 3 times with tmo behind. att last.

What a suprise..sprint comes up last!

Oh and look! An ipone on 3G comes pretty close to our "4G"

[Epic 4G General] riceknight:
Clocked a little over 7 Mbps consistently and with half signal on 4g with Sprint. I'm sure it varies wildly by area, but this test definitely smells fishy.
[Epic 4G General] bitbang3r:
Is South Florida the only place where 4G towers don't route or properly do hand-offs? Meaning, you connect to exactly one tower & remain connected until you're literally a block away from the next one, then drops... but if you forcibly toggle 4G at that point instead of passively waiting ~5 minutes, it *instantly* connects w/3 bars? It pisses me off daily by making 4G unusable in moving vehicles.
[Epic 4G General] ED2O9:
I think that my slower speeds are just par for the course here in Charlotte. There was a study done that made the local news indicating that of 30 major metropolitan areas tested, Charlotte has the worst cell phone coverage. The good news is that since we will be hosting the 2012 democratic convention, all of the carriers are supposed to make significant upgrades. We'll see...

The reason I posted this article was because the speeds the author got closely match mine. Yesterday, on my way home I was stopped in traffic right by uptown Charlotte. I was getting a very strong 4G signal, and it topped out at just over 3 Mbps. I'm using the SpeedTest.net app and running 5 or 6 tests to see an average. I'm curious as to what others are using to test their speeds.
[Epic 4G General] gorby911:
The test results will completely depend on location. Yesterday, I turned my 4G on during my drive home (I am in MA) and was running speed tests every few minutes. Look at the highligted result, this was the highest I got. (the top result is WiFi when I was at home on the top floor, my router is in the basement two floors down).
[Epic 4G General] thizzmaster:
same here :P i dont get a signal at all! and my city is one of the cities it went live in...when i do get signal i get speeds less than 500kbps

SWITCHIN to TMO soon:D
[Epic 4G General] bnguyen1983:
Do 3G speeds. I get 0.05 mbit in LA. Its ****ing rediculous. Im switching to someone else after 1 year.
[Epic 4G General] running_the_dream:
3G isn't going to give you much. 0.5mbps isn't ridiculously low for 3G depending on which tower/server you're testing on. I get anywhere from 0.3 to 1.3 at different locations/servers, etc. Not so sure any other carrier is going to do much better than that.
[Epic 4G General] hazridi:
The hard part of comparing speed tests is that they're conducted all at different times of the day. If you want a good speed test, try doing it at 2 AM on a week night when most people are sleeping, that'll give you a good idea of what the peak speeds are like. The other difficulty is that most people have no idea where the towers are, and you need to find spots with similar signal strength and SNR.

I get about 4 mbps during the day on 4G, and 6-7 at night, around 8 when everyone's sleeping.
[Epic 4G General] mrjuboy:
I am using the FCC Mobile Broadband test app.

The Speedtest.net app seems to overstate speeds.
[Epic 4G General] poit:
I'm just south of downtown Denver right now and ran speedtest on 4G, I got 5.25 download 1.13 upload, and 155 ms ping. Not bad at all, and way better than the MSNBC report.
[Epic 4G General] keeepinitgansta:
I think those tests were cached or running on wifi, especially for the last one (t-mobile galaxy 4g).

In order for tests to be fair, they have to be tested outside and during off peak hours in order to get reliable results. A speedtest is dependant on the server that is used during the test, so that is one important factor to consider. Many times when I attempt to run a test, I notice the server that is automatically selected is somewhere in LONDON or SPAIN because of the IP given off by sprint's DHCP server at the time. Once its switched to a much closer server (NYC), the difference is substantial. Another alternative is to use FCC's speedtest or tether it to your pc and use www.linode.com/speedtest
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
I live close to baltimore so thats the onl.time I can use 4g. Speeds were decent therr. I think the last time I was there I got 4 down.

Sent from my Evo Killer!!!
[Epic 4G General] ED2O9:
Strange... yesterday I noticed that my 4G signal was really weak, and when I could connect it wasn't much faster than 3G. There was another thread regarding 4G outages in other areas around the US, so I thought the two issues might be related.

This morning, my 4G signal is much stronger, and I actually hit 6 Mbps where normally I topped out at 2.5.

Did Sprint read that MSNBC article and make some adjustments? Hmm... ;)
[Epic 4G General] keeepinitgansta:
lol, maybe they did read the article.

My speeds were great about 1 week ago and now they are capped at 2.5 mbps down from my usual 8-9mbps. 3g is not working in parts of Brooklyn, NY right now, seems like there are lots of outages.
[Epic 4G General] crabjoe:
Explain this to me... How are you getting 1.2mbps up when Sprint supposedly has it capped at 1mbps?
[Epic 4G General] crabjoe:
You're speeds suck for 4G, they're in the 3G range and I'd say it's slow compared to other company's 3G speeds.

As for the reason why Clearwire (Sprint resells Clearwire) is doing as you call poor, or small cities are due to marketing. If you have x amount of dollars but you want to say you have x number of cities covered with 4G, you hit the small cities 1st.

The nice thing about Verizon's 4G isn't just the speed. They've come out and stated that their 4G coverage will mirror their current 3G map.
[Epic 4G General] thizzmaster:
i get 4g only outside of my neighborhood...and my city is actually a city which is covered by 4g! tried the tweak and i only got a signal outside of my house barely which is supposed to have a good signal by the way with what the 4g map says. The speed was ****ty to say the least, 1mbps down and 300kbps up is the worst.
[Epic 4G General] globalninja:
I don't know, you tell me.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
Its capped AROUND 1mb/s

1.2 is the highest I get though, even though it starts at like 2mb/s
[Nexus One General] danger-rat:
I noticed yesterday that my phone was constantly streaming data, even though I hadn't initiated anything. I'm used to the occasional blips, as email syncs, etc, but this was constant for about an hour.

Anyway, I decided to try and track down the source s, and it appears to be the gingerbread Music app (from CM7 nightlies), and android.process.media. Between these two, they have transferred over 30 meg, both up and down.

I've since turned off the Music Sync in the sync settings, and no more constant data transfer...

I wonder what mischief Google is up to...?
[Nexus One General] wang1404:
That's a very good question. But I'm completely clueless. the obvious clonclusion is google is gathering data from phones. but for what purpose is unknown. This is my mission. will be on the search.
[Nexus One General] Hollow.Droid:
Sounds to me like the Music app is constantly sending queries and downloading the results. Possibly a bug with fetching album art? If it was repeatedly searching for and downloading album art over a period of a few hours this could add up. Still just a guess though.
[Nexus One General] beasjim:
You didn't happen to put the honeycomb music app on your phone did you?

I had it on my phone, and I had the option to sync Music in the accounts section (which is presumably for the rumored Google Music Streaming Service), it was trying to sync all the time (not sure how much actual data), so I just turned it off.
[Nexus One General] danger-rat:
It may be the Honeycomb music app. It comes stock with CM7, so it's difficult to detect it's true source...

I was reading something about Google Music, and how it could be similar to Google Books, where all your content is stored online. Could be based around that, but that would imply that the web part it's working to some degree (which is interesting)...
[Nexus One General] suntzu123:
Two days ago my phone ask me that one app need more permission... Guess what? Music sync.
