The update is over kies mini only for tmobile for 2.2. I been getting dm disconnect and dunno what that's all about but update isn't OTA so doubt it has to do with that tho.
[Vibrant General] jr67:
There is definitely some kind of update being pushed out OTA. My phone is updating now.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
The KA6 they sent us is most likely a Beta Update (Performance regressed compared to JI6), so I wouldn't be surprised if they were working on another (really official OTA) update.

I don't even think all the US Galaxy S variants have FroYo yet... Aren't T-Mobile still the only ones? I think it was because the #NeverAgain campaign was composed primarily of Vibrant users (following the Vibrant 4G announcement).

They threw us a bone.
[Vibrant General] ThC23:
There is a new 2.1 OTA also! Not sure if this is what you got!

[Nook Color General] macftw85:
im rooted with the 1.1.0 rom loaded. ive installed launcher pro and it works good. my only issue is the icons located in the dock. because in have a nook, i know that the phone, messaging, and contacts will not work. is there a way to remove them permanently so that the app drawer icon is only thing there at the bottom? thanks.
[Nook Color General] xBryan:
hold the one you want gone and go to change shortcut and make it blank.

Is this what you want?
[Nook Color General] Paul22000:
You can't modify shortcuts (any shortcut at all, not just LauncherPro) on Eclair.

As far as I know, this is impossible.
[Nook Color General] xBryan:
but the dock that LP comes with has phone, contacts, etc. You can remove those, unless I am miss understanding the op.
[Nook Color General] TJNooker:
Yes you can...

On Eclair, you cannot alter the Launcher Pro icons from your Nook device. However, you can set up your Launcher Pro homescreen (icons, widgets, or whatever) on another android device and copy it over to your Nook. Refer to this thread for the exact procedure.

I have done this myself, and it works perfectly.

Note: If you only want the app drawer icon you can do that with the above method. But if you want you can set up other icons that actually work in addition to the app drawer icon. As long as you have the same apps on your Nook, the icons from your other android device will open the same apps on your Nook when you copy over the homescreen.
[Nook Color General] czarjohn:
Just switch to zeam launcher. Seems to work much better than launcher pro and adw, imho.
[Nook Color General] TweetyBear:
i agree. i tried lpp and the removing of shortcuts in the dock is too much of a hassle. adw was ok. i forgot reason why i didn't like it. i tried all 3 n sticking w zeam
[Nook Color General] Paul22000:
Zeam pales in comparison to Launcher Pro when you take into account the widgets.

There are absolutely no Facebook, Twitter, and Calendar widgets on the Android Market that work as well and look as good as the Launcher Pro widgets do.

Also, they

scroll

, which no other FB/Twitter/Calendar widget can do.

If you know of apps/widgets that do, please let me know. But I have yet to find a single replacement for all three of these that even come close in terms of functionality/look.
[Nook Color General] Hextall:
For another datapoint... you can set dock shortcuts and swipe gesture shortcuts with Go Launcher.

I couldn't get any other launcher to switch shortcuts on the dock (I haven't re-tried Zeam though).

I have flashed my HD2 with HD2 CoreDroid DHD V1.2 (ROM-Zip, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=926507). I thought that only sd builds need sd card for booting. But my phone seems not to boot without sd-card, I just see the htc logo. :confused:

If I would mount another sd-card into phone, can I just copy the files/directories from one to another or do I have to format/ partition the sd-card in clockworkmod before?

Because you have to create an ext partition, otherwise you will be missing a few apps and features. Though, v1.3 is fine to flash without partitioning. Inside the download.rar are some very nicely written and easy step by step instructions. Good lick.

Without sd card, booting still doenst go further than the htc logo :S
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] webmice:
Add a question to that: While I can understand 1024MB (1G) is more space than 512MB (0.5G), is there a performance difference between the two? To manage a 1GB EXT4 drive on the SD card is same or more consuming than half of that?

Anyone can shed some light?

** Am running CoreDroid 1.4 with 1G partition, find it slower than I had hoped. SD card is a Class 10 16GB MicroSD.

[Atrix 4G General] slapdaddy:
I just upgraded to an Inspire. The main reason I did is because of HTC Sense. I love the look and feel of it and don't like using any other kind of UI on my phone. However, I also love having the best there is...so here is my question.

Is it possible to get HTC Sense onto the Atrix with just a root? Or will a cracked bootloader the key to doing that?
[Atrix 4G General] Diviance:
A locked bootloader would likely not prove to be a problem, but the porting of the framework would almost certainly be very difficult since Sense cannot function without the full custom HTC framework.
[Atrix 4G General] slapdaddy:
Okay. Well I guess I should look and see if there any Sense ports to Motorola devices then. Would the port have to be device-specific? Or would a port to an older Motorola device work just as well?
[Atrix 4G General] Kaik541:
to get sense running on a non-HTC device, you would need a custom kernel (which a locked bootloader won't allow) with a custom bootclasspath in init.rc. you would also need to bring over all the HTC Sense framework with modified binaries to support your platform (android hardware legacy binaries) and modify egl.cfg to support the GPU in the phone. after that, there's of course other hardware lib's that would need to be modified to get GPS and bluetooth working (usually through more hex hacking) and, last but not least, decompiling and recompiling the sense framework to interface properly with the RIL.

so basically you'd have to overcome a (potentially/likely) locked bootloader and troubleshoot constantly to figure out what's wrong with each piece of hardware in the device (feasible, but long and frustrating). there are several devices out there that aren't intended to run Sense that do (the OG droid/milestone being one), and the process is long and complicated. jamezelle (who ported Sense to the droid/milestone) helped us ATTEMPT to port it to the SGS devices (myself and rafyvitto on the Captivate) and it ended up being more than either of us could handle and died.
[Atrix 4G General] slapdaddy:
That sounds like a complete pain in the a** lol. At least you gave it a shot. That's a lot more than I would be capable of doing. But oh well then...I guess I will have to wait for an HTC device with a dual or quad core chip and in the mean time, I can have a blast with my Inspire. :) Thank you both for your quick feedback.

[Atrix 4G General] cegna09:
what exactly do you want from sense? you can mimic a bunch of it with other launchers and widgets. Launcher pro has a bunch of sense like widgets, and Beautiful Widgets will give you a couple more. You won't have the sense launcher bar, or lock screen, but to be honest i think those are crap.
[Atrix 4G General] Squeak22:
Exactly, With Launcher Pro Plus you basically get all the sense widgets, and there is a theme to make it look exactly the same as SenseUI.
[Atrix 4G General] sdlopez83:
What is the theme called? interesting
[Atrix 4G General] sservati:
OK but how can we get rid of MotoBlur completely and put launcher pro on the basic android? Does it need root or unlocked bootloader?
[Atrix 4G General] Kaik541:
LauncherPro is just an alternative launcher, just install it from the marketplace >_>

motoblur isn't JUST a launcher, it's a whole framework. just like sense is a framework and launcher. removing motoblur is far more involved than changing launchers...
[Atrix 4G General] tsekh501:
Another thing to consider is the legality of doing so.

Android is open source, but Sense is proprietary. In principles HTC can take legal action even for those devs who are making their custom roms loaded with Sense. But so far HTC has not done so, and I kind of feel that HTC is relatively open (relative to other manufacturers, like Motorola) to devs customizing their phones.

But as you said, Sense is the reason why you are getting the Inspire 4G, it is a valuable piece of proprietary to HTC. Once people go crazy and start porting Sense to every other major competing devices, it's only a matter of time before HTC starts issuing cease and desist letters to all the devs.
[Atrix 4G General] SN4K3B1T3:
I would like to see this happen i would donate but only if it wasnt ridiculously buggy...would have to be somewhat stable
[Atrix 4G General] Maedhros:
Yea. TBH at this point I am ACTUALLY considering Telus Desire HD instead of Atrix on bell simply because of sense.

Its not only the great looking widgets... but the various built in applications and the design of interface that looks much more nicer imo.

Sense brings ALOT of usability to android, and Personally.... I cant run Clean Android.

Only reason I pick up android is BECAUSE of sense. So... would donate if its possible, otherwise will wait for HTC dual core or will get Desire HD.

Sense doesn't suck lol. It's very customizable and flows pretty well. I haven't tried launcher pro but I'll definitely check it out and see if I like it. I've heard others say good things about it, but as I've said previously, I'm just very used to Sense.

Oh and about battery life. I get just over a days charge with moderate use, ie. Wi-Fi, HSPA, games, GPS, and about an hour of talk-time. I charge my phone every night regardless of how much battery life is left.

I gotta say I was really focused on having sense on my phones, then I tried an mdj gingerbread build w/o it and wouldn't even think about turning back.

Once you spend some time with stock android and really tweak it to your liking I find it to be much better than any of these frameworks offer.

I'm almost sick thinking about going from clean gingerbread to blurred up 2.2.

I also didn't realize how restrictive the locked boot loader is... I'm just PRAYING (and sending daily complaints to motorola) that they unlock it with the upgrade to Gingerbread.

The fact that they publicly apologized for those youtube video comments is REALLY encouraging to me. If they unlock it it's going to be the sickest phone ever...

It has sooo much potential but it's got to be opened up for it to be realized.

Sense was good on Windows Mobile, in fact that was what made it usable. On Android, it's just not needed. I've been through several setups on my Aria, between stock, CM6, and CM7, and i don't miss sense one bit. If you're really that attached you can get the look and feel, just do some searching (wouldn't kill some people to actually search for themselves before just asking). 20 seconds of search found me this

If you like Sense then try a MIUI based ROM. There are a lot more phones supported.
[Atrix 4G General] Mnemoch:
There are two excellent reasons to use a Sense phone; the dialer-searches your contacts as you type (cannot believe the stock dialer doesn't do this) and mail app: exchange works out of the box and all accounts are unified, can move messages between folders properly, etc (no mail app I tried was as good).

I use Launcher Pro otherwise so actually don't use Sense widgets. The dialler esp killed it for me just too used to looking up contacts as I dial (every nokia for last 15 years does it, think google and apple could figure it out)
[Atrix 4G General] sdlopez83:

Bummer did not know sense procured the type text look up. Its so practical
[Atrix 4G General] Squeak22:
Motorola modified dialers do this.

They also have the unified inbox with Motoblur.

Looks like you don't really need Sense.
[Atrix 4G General] sdlopez83:
Sense is nice, looks fluid. But upon playing with laucher pro. Its not bad and may even like it a little better on somethings. You guys where right its not bad at all. and.. If moto incorporates dialing then giddyup.
[Atrix 4G General] BlackOtaku:
Might I just add that the new MotoBlur (not sure if the Atrix will get it, but the Droid Bionic is) is supposed to finally be a skin on par with Sense in fluidity, looks and function? I'm excited. :)
[Atrix 4G General] NikolaiT:
I would have to disagree. They sent out a Cease and Desist to the developers of Fancy Widgets because it was a clone of the HTC Sense clock widget. Thats why Fancy Widget stopped looking like that after version 1.3.0.
[Atrix 4G General] tsekh501:
Yup, and very soon devs here will get another C&D letter from them once Sense is ported to Atrix.
[Atrix 4G General] gtg465x:
I seriously doubt Sense will be ported to the Atrix. If it does get ported, it will take a long long time. People who want a Sense experience bought the wrong phone. They need to be happy with LauncherPro or get the Inspire.

HTC Sense on Atrix is v. Likely Possible

I just upgraded from a Moto Milestone on AT&T, and someone had built an HTC Sense port for the Milestone. The only problem was that 256 MB of RAM was insufficient for Sense taken from a similar generation of Android phone. I ultimately left the Milestone since the touchscreen got erratic, especially in warmth and humidity, and due to the meager amount of RAM.

The real question is whether someone will port Sense from an HTC phone with a qHD resolution.
[Atrix 4G General] bongd:
We don't have too many developers and only JUST got the bootloader unlocked (for AT&T Atrix devices only).

I'd sooner hold out for a CM7, AOSP or MIUI release. I wouldn't bet on there being too much interest in Sense on a non-HTC device.

The Arc looks like a fantastic all around phone in that it has great clear/loud sound/with mega bass. I wonder if this phone is using the Wolfson chip.

Takes great pictures in low light/video is smooth/Hdmi mirroring. Very smooth UI and great colors on the screen.

It has a single core Qualcomm Scorpion MSM8255 processor. I realize its not a Dual Core phone but since they are just entering the market I would prefer to go with a single core 2nd generation phone.

I was thinking of getting the Samsung Galaxy S II but Samsung is still doing updates on the first Galaxy S and I don't trust them re updates.

Sony has stated that they did not handle updates for the X10 very well but promise to do a lot better with updates in regards to the Arc,I believe them.

Furthermore bigger isn;t always better.(Dual Core Vs Single Core)

In the end I want a phone that has clarity/volume in regards to phone calls/Great Camera/Good Video/can play games on it.

Its not using wolfson chip.

The camera is about as good or maybe 5% better than the X10's. (check GSMArena photocompare)

The Bravia Engine works only with pictures or videos. Rest of the time its just like any other TFT LCD.

Internal memory is a measly 500 mb.

I personally don't think the Arc justifies its price tag, the Neo has everything the Arc has but at a much cheaper price.

Oh and like the X10, it will take months to crack the bootloader, so no custom ROMs.
[Xperia Arc General] thorstenn:
apparently this is not the case. The hard lockdown on devices in the past has made it hard even for SE to upgrade the phones. The new phones are said to have a more open bootloader to make it easier to update
