[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrokenWall:
How is CM7 so much better than the stock ROM as far as increasing the performance? And is there a good how-to to get it flashed to the most recent build and also to return to stock if I'm not happy

I tried the Netarchy kernel and its benching at 2425 on the stock 2.3.2 ROM, and it boots so much faster and feels overall snappier after a bit of use. LOVE THIS!!!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrokenWall:
So I got things figured out still working on customization a bit, figured I would try out some launchers and things, right now Im using LauncherPro.

But my main questions now are how do yall encode video for your phones? I have tried a few settings on HandBrake and they seem to crash doubletwist and not play in the default media player. So if someone could help me with the settings yall use, perfer not to get another application cause I use Handbrake for other encoding needs as well.

Does anyone know of any widgets that will show me the cell strength and my data connection type (wifi, 3g, edge) so that I can move those to my home screen and not be required to have the notification bar.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Video Player: I recommend RockPlayer, you don't have to encode anything. it plays it natively with the exception of 720p (sadly.. 720p, it lags.. but everything else is fine).

[Captivate General] Bikerbilly1169:
Running serendipity 5.8 with suckerpunch kernel. Tried to flash supernova gets stuck at firebird kernel every time. Did a flash back to stock with odin and a master clear also. Didnt work had to flash back to serendipity. What am I doing wrong?
[Captivate General] zelendel:
When you say it gets stuck, how long did you let it sit on that screen as it can take a long time to load the first time, like 5min or so
[Captivate General] Bikerbilly1169:
Right after it said voodoo lagfix enabled I waited a few Minutes nothing happens just shows firebird on screen.
[Captivate General] zelendel:
Yeah you have to leave it for a while. Min took almost 5 min after it said lag fix enabled to finish booting up. Just let it sit there. It will boot up, just might take a little longer then your used to.
[Captivate General] Bikerbilly1169:
Ok Ill try again. Thanks for your help.
[Captivate General] Bikerbilly1169:
Left on firebird screen for 30 min never booted.
[Captivate General] zelendel:
Ok that is really odd. Ok now to find the issue. Maybe a bad download? To be honest I didnt have any trouble at all with the flash, have even reflashed a few times tonight trouble shooting my own issues and trying to fix them. I would redownload it and start from a fresh stock set up.
[Captivate General] Bikerbilly1169:
ok will do
[Captivate General] Bikerbilly1169:
Ok flashed back to stock with odin. Downloaded again from different mirror. Same thing happened again. Im stuck.:(

Flashed back to stock again then serendipity 5.8 again which works. Im stumped.
[Captivate General] Frank the Funkasaurus Rex:
I have installed SN successfully after flashing back to stock. I have had problems with enabling the lagfix after installing SN though. It will say lagfix enabled and then the screen goes black. I'm just running without voodoo right now.

2.05 should be out soon so maybe you can wait for that to see if that gives you any problems.

I will be putting out a Speed Mod and a FireBird kernel version. I hope this helps.
[Captivate General] Bikerbilly1169:
Speedmod version booted right up. Any idea why I couldn't use firebird version even though I flashed back to stock? Thanks for your help.
[Captivate General] Frank the Funkasaurus Rex:
I'm not sure that it will... I used the speed mod version for your phoenix rom and could never get the lagfix there to enable without messing up the phone. I'll give it a try though.

Luckily for me your ROMS are so good that they don't necessarily need a lagfix. Thanks for all the hard work.

[Captivate General] bames:
firebird worked fine with supernova for me (first boot took a while)

disabled lagfix and going to flash the updated supernova with speedmod for comparison.
[Captivate General] zelendel:
To be honest man I dont know. I have seen it before though as me and a buddy got our phones the same day and for some bloody reason his doesnt like the the speedmod kernel at all but works wonderfully with the FB kernel. I am on the SM version now and works great. The work DG has done on the FB kernel is outstanding dont get me wrong but I personally have a better results with SM.
[Captivate General] Bikerbilly1169:
I can't run andromeada either. I just can't get my head around why identical phones can't run the same kernel. It doesn't make sense to me. I appreciate your time and thank you for your help.
[Captivate General] Bust it:
Glad to be reading this. I flashed cog. 3.04 then FB kernel, all worked fine, then flashed SM kernel, no problems, all worked great on phone with SM until I tried to flash back to stock cog. kernel and modem for BT use. Cwm reboot into recovery would fail when tried from inside rom manager however it would reboot into recovery using the off button or vol/power button method. So I rebooted back to FB then got the red voodoo recovery letters, long story short, brick, oden back to stock...back to cog 3.04 and FB kernel, been flashing back and forth between stock cog. and FB kernel to use bt with no issues. Didn't want to try SM again until I read up to try and figure what went wrong Maybe nothing wrong, its just the temperament of each phone as to what it likes, interesting.

How do you like SN? I like the idea of having a phone where every thing just works. Probably will flash SN with FB since this phone I have already had issues with SM, thx for your input, it's enlightening.
[Nook Color General] buffnutz1:
Im on nookie Froyo on emmc. I changed the name and an error message kept popping up so I put it back. Is it ok to get rid of it?
[Nook Color General] dnalevelc:
if you are talking about the phone.apk file, then yes you can rename it or delete it. it will toss errors at you till you reboot. I had that issue about two days ago. One I rebooted it was all good. The battery life seems to be a lot better now.
[Nook Color General] Tweakrr:
It will go into a force close loop when you delete/rename the file, then hold down the power button about 20 seconds for a hard shutdown and it will be fine after the next boot. I got about another hour of battery life out of it...
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
Hahaha, no you didn't.. How could you possibly say that unless you were measuring the actual battery current with an exact state on the NC without any deviations with multiple tests of with and without?

Removing the cell standby just makes Android System the top in the list, that's the only change.
[Nook Color General] RoboRay:
It's a cosmetic change only. Your supposedly "saved" power consumption is now merely being reported under Phone Idle rather than Cell Stanby.

You can verify this yourself if you conduct a controlled test rather than just comparing two days of normal usage while ignoring all the inevitable variables that could easily exceed an hour of usage.
[G Tablet General] reacheks:
http://www.droidgamers.com/index.ph...ows-it-off-working-in-android-devices-already

From the article:''...nVidia demoed the quad-core Tegra 3 chip in an Android tablet today at MWC 2011 doing all kinds of awesome stuff like running games and video. In fact the video they played was 1440p content running on a 2560x1600 panel. This means that 10.1" displays will be outputting video at 300dpi without a hiccup or stream that right to your TV.

nVidia also revealed their timeline with three new chips planned for release over the next 2 1/2 which the last one landing in 2014. These chips are codenamed: Wayne, Logan and Stark (seems like some X-men stuff going on here doesn't it?) with Stark being the furthest one with a 2014 release and according to nVidia, it will have 75x the speed of Tegra 2.

All we can say is, we want now! Check out the full post below from nVidia's Tegra site. for reference, Project Kal-el is the Tegra 3 chip. We should be seeing quad-core chips in Android tablets by August and in Android phones by Christmas 2011...."

[HTC Inspire 4G] Pheno.menon:
The "On" buttons for syncing those two categories are greyed out.

I really would like to be able to sync my contacts to PC so I can edit them easier, since lots of duplicates show up in the Messaging contacts menu.

Any idea what I can do?
[HTC Inspire 4G] IsraelR:
I have the exact same problem. Did you ever find a solution?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Papa Luigi:
Have you downloaded and installed HTC Sync software on your PC.

http://www.htc.com/us/support/inspire-att/downloads/

I assume you aren't using a Google account for your contacts, the Sense contact database will use the HTC Sync software and want to hook into Outlook (or something else) on the PC. However, with a Google account, you can sync your contacts to the cloud and view them in GMail on the pc and edit there.
[HTC Inspire 4G] IsraelR:
HTC Sync is installed on my home computer and at work. I'm trying to sync my phone with Outlook 2007. I'm not worried about my contacts so much as I would like to sync with my calendar in outlook, so any meetings I have on my computer at work, will show up on my phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] pclewis:
I was able to use HTC Sync with the Inspire to load Contacts with no problem. I did not do the calendar, since I sync that with Goolge. Google contacts cannot deal with all the contact notes I have in Outlook.

Be sure to get the latest HTC Sync.

[HTC Inspire 4G] imsolidstate:
You have to run HTC sync as an administrator in Win7.
[HTC Inspire 4G] IsraelR:
I can do that at home, but at work I have XP and it doesn't work there either.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Alex P:
After having the same problem with calender button being greyed out in HTC SYNC 3 i might have found another solution to fix this.

My HTC Sync 3 (and previous versions) used to sync everything i wanted but after a system restore to an earlier date 2 months ago it stopped syncing the calender items from outlook 2003. Yes i've only just noticed that it's not been syncing!!

1/ I tried going back to earlier versions of htc sync but that didn't work.

2/ I tried running HTC Sync as administrator but that didn't work.

3/ I installed a fresh copy of HTC Sync (all versions) with msconfig items modified and that didn't work.

4/ I removed all traces of HTC Sync and installed MyPhoneExplorer and that didn't work as well......that then led me to believe that the problem couldn't be with my HTC Sync.

5/ What fixed it for me was a detect and repair in MS office 2003 (through add and remove programs) and also i did a detect & repair in outlook 2003 itself as well. You might need the office install disc as it needed some cab files during the repair.

I then installed HTC Sync 3 ver 5511 again and the calender button is now back and selectable again....Hey presto.

I can only assume the windows restore featire to an earlier time might have thrown a spanner in the works.

couldn't find any reviews..
[Streak 5 Accessories] marvin02:
That looks similar to the lower priced TPU cases that have been reviewed in various threads. Here are some pics comparing a TPU case with the Impact case.

The TPU case will give you a slimmer phone.

I ended up using an Otterbox Defender. I like the slimmer case better for looks, but the Defender better for protection.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andrew.Dodson07:
I'm new to the rooting world and am trying to get my fiance's phone to the best of it's abilities. Samsung Vibrant currently running Team Whiskey's Nero V3. My biggest issue is the swype version on the phone is, to be frank, absolutely terrible. Is there a fix for this? Also, she is highly attached to the game alchemy. Will converting from v3 to v5 reset the phone?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] princearic:
Switching versions should never effect internal data, but there's always a slight risk you may end up finding everything wiped, which is why you make a "nandroid backup". Basically it's just making a backup via rom manager, or checking the option to backup the rom when flashing to a new one in case something does happen.

As for your swype, it's actually a known issue. There's a better, more accurate version you can find in the instructions if you're going to upgrade to the current Bionix 1.2.1 (which I would recommend)

Also, I would suggest you sign up over at their forums if you haven't already done so, plus you can always get some help from their IRC channel. They're pretty willing to help as long as you try.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Sighcosis:
Just read on Twitter. Cyanogen has 2.3. (sadly not for us).

But to put it in perspective. As their official Twitter announcement stated.

A bunch of GEEKS beat all manufacturers to 2.3 *Gingerbread* by reverse engineering their devices.

GREAT WORK ALL..
[Samsung Mesmerize] vluhd:
Do they mean they beat them to upgrading devices to 2.3? because there are already 2.3 devices out iirc.
[Samsung Mesmerize] v_lestat:
yeah my buddy has been running CM7 for a few weeks now i think on his HTC Desire.

because of the camera and mms issues he went back to 6.1 though.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Omnibot:
Either way progress up stream always helps us!
[Samsung Mesmerize] sageDieu:
Not us specifically since we have already been told we wont be seeing cm for our device unless somebody not on the cm team ports it.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Sighcosis:
Just saying. Even if we never see CM7 there is still the knowledge that they gained that could be used.

More importantly it shows the ingenuity and selfless dedication that the DEVs in the community have..
[Samsung Mesmerize] sageDieu:
Yeah that is true... imagine what amazing things we could get if some manufacturer would hire a couple of these devs and take the risk of having a totally open phone that could come rooted and available to theme and install roms on... the amount of work the developers we have could do if they were being paid an actual salary and had tons of coders and R&D and everything is just too much to think about. imagine how much money they could make from all the hacker/developer people that would jump on a device like that.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkitchBeatz:
I think I've read that the biggest problem with CM7 on the captivate is the kernel. If samsung releases the 2.2 source for the captivate will that aid in bringing 2.3 due to the fact that its not that big of an upgrade? Or is it a dumb question and too soon to tell?
