[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vasishta.sushant:
How good is the gorilla glass on Dell Streak ?

The reason why I am asking is that the screen protector I am using on my Streak (which came with my otterbox commuter) had started to develop odd looking hairline scratches.

I know that the gorilla glass is scratch resistant but still want to know how many of you are using the streak without any protector.

Is the naked screen a fingerprints magnet ? (the screen protector that came with my commuter is)

Also on my friend's iphone 4, which also comes with similar gorilla glass, I can easily spot a lot of hairline scratches which look bad. So never tried to use my streak that way.

But this otterbox screen protector has made the streak look a little ugly so I am thinking otherwise.

What do you guys think ?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neotarum:
I'd say keep your screen protector on. They are very affordable and I actually had my screen saved thanks to a protector when the Streak fell down with a scratch running across the middle. I was upset then thought, maybe only the protector is scratched...and I was pleasantly surprised! This is after having it fixed with a broken screen the first time!!

I hated screen protectors on resistive touch screens, but no capacitive, I can't even notice it so no problems there too.

I also keep mine in a basic silicone case - which is uglier and thicker. However, you appreciate the beauty of streak once the case comes off after about 2 weeks. It feels so perfect and stream-lined.

Be safe! :)

Hi just wanna know for my HTC desire, I have a class 2 SD card. Can I partition it for fat32, then ext4? Thanks..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gol_n_dal:
The class rating of an SD card makes no difference to partitioning/formatting. It's purely down to a performance rating. It's also worth noting that the Class rating is the minimum performence, the card might well be faster than its rating (as in my case).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apparition:
I noticed my ROM is missing the English (Canada), en_CA locale. How can I add it back into my custom ROM? I know my stock ROM had it, but I don't know which file the locale is located.

Thanks.

UPDATE: I think I got it!

You have to edit:

\data\properties\..

persist.sys.country

persist.sys.language

OR use CWM file attached! flash and reboot! Hurray! Your locale will automatically be set to "English (Canada)". However, If you change the locale to something else, you won't be able to change it back to English(Canada) without reflashing this file.

Alternative: Use morelocale2 app.

Lang ISO639: en

Country ISO3166: CA

UPDATE 2: To add English (Canada) or another other locale to the settings screen on your ROM, checkout g00ndu's guide. you'll need to add these canadian value XML files to framework-res.apk/res/ though

UPDATE 3: added CWM3 compatible version for GB roms.

UPDATE 4: oops. fixed CWM script. flashes fine now. thanks geokilla.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Auridran:
So I've been wondering... what does the Locale even do?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apparition:
It affects default language/spellcheck dictionary settings (ie. en_US "color" vs en_CA "colour"), google apps (ie. maps; voice search will recognize "petrol stations" for en_GB while for canada, its "gas stations"), time/date format (24h vs 12h clock and DD MONTH YEAR vs MONTH DD YEAR). some apps may be locale dependent too-- that's what i know off the top of my head.

It's probably pretty minor since English (Canada) is pretty similar to English (UK) or Eng (US), but still, it's nice to have things right like how the stock ROM was.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Auridran:
Ahh yes, I figured it was something similar to that. Thanks :)

Purchased a P503 in China ( Shanghai , Sunning )

I have a StrongVPN account that works fine from inside China on Windows 7 and Windows XP however does not work from the P503.

Have had people visit with HTC Android phones and PPTP connects fine over my own ADSL network Wifi and the China Mobile EDGE network but something on the P503 just seems to fail L2TP fails even quicker.

I have fault ticket open with StrongVPN but wondering if anyone is in the same boat using a P503 in China.

[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] samckernan:
Simple question, what is the path to the lock screen wallpaper images?

Phone = stock MT4G

I'm referring to the pre-installed images that are behind the horizontal bar with the date and time on it, that you have to pull down to unlock the screen.

I've attached a picture.

On my phone there are 8 pre-installed images that you can chose from. If you go to:

Home Screen - Menu - Wallpaper - Lock Screen, and finally - Wallpaper Gallery.

There are 8 images to choose from. They are named: Carrera, Downtown, Graffiti, Red Rock, Ruby, Safari, Wildflower, and KidZone.

I've attached a really crappy picture of me holding my phone with one of the lock screen images present. It's called Red Rock.

I'm really interested in where these 8 file reside. I believe they are within an apk file. If someone know or figures it out, I'd sure appreciate it.

Thanks,

Sam

You can try system> customize> resource...I am running iced glacier and have the zebra one in there, but also have the lock screen deleted and running the aosp one, so not totally sure....maybe someone else can confirm?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] ronin178:
On a side note, if you are just looking to change the pic, you can do that in settings> personalize> lock wallpaper
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] samckernan:
Thanks for the reply.

I can see the "Safari" theme files in there (/system/customize/resources/)

The Safari Wallpaper: wallpaper.jpg

The Safari Preview file: preview.png

and

The Safari Lock Screen Wallpaper: htc_wallpaper_01_lockscreen.jpg

along with a lot of other wallpapers, but not the other "Theme's".

Some of the other theme's files are in:

/system/app/ under "theme name".apk.

If you click on the file and then browse the file you'll see that particular theme's wallpaper and a "preview" file, but not the lockscreen wallpaper.

I realize one could select any image file from the

Home Screen - Menu - Wallpaper - Lock Screen - Gallery

vs.

Home Screen - Menu - Wallpaper - Lock Screen - Wallpaper Gallery

but I'm kind of partial to the Red Rock Theme lockscreen image and I just want to find the file...

Thanks if anyone can help.

It's in the RedRocks.apk, try and use root explorer to copy it to sd card, extract files and in res>drawable-hdpi folder it's called com_htc_launcher_lockscreen_wallpaper.png
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] samckernan:
Thanks...

I can open it from within the *.apk. I had looked in that /drawable-hdpi directory, but was overwhelmed by the number of files. I'll just save it elsewhere from there and manipulate as required.

I'm wanting to add some small text in the upper left edge saying, "Reward if Found, Call (206) 555-1212".

If someone finds the phone, it'll be locked, but now on the lock screen they'll have a number and motivation to try to get it back to me.

Thanks again,

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] staticx57:
I'm using evervolv gingerbread with the invisiblek. 37 kernel and no matter what I do my battery will die in 2-3 hours with moderate wifi web browsing. Even just sitting there or messing around swiping on the home screen it will lose % by the minute. I'm using the 1500mah touch pro 2 battery so it shouldn't die that fast. I've tried everything including underclocking using setcpu to no avail. What puzzles me is I can turn my phone off and charge it 40-50% in 20ish minutes. Seems like the battery has lost its ability to hold a charge but i have no idea. Anyone have any advice?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smtom:
Are you in an area with poor signal? Signal search will munch battery. If so, and you have wifi signal available, use that.

Other stuff to check:

Turn off any live wallpapers.

Check the screen brightness, turn off BT and wifi if you don't use/need it frequently, turn off GPS until needed, and look at the number and frequency of things you are synching, like weather, gmail, social networks, etc. etc.

All these things contribute to battery drain. Also, if not using wifi, toggle the sleep policy so it won't be constantly searching for available signals.

Look in SetCPU at the scaling governor for the kernel you are using - if it has a setting for ondemand, use that. Even better, if it has smartass, use that - it will scale down automatically while screen is off.

Is this an OEM TP2 battery? How long have you had it? Where did you buy it from?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] staticx57:
I am seeing a sharp drop in battery even when on wifi. Doing anything other than idling kills my battery. I do not have the screen turned up all of the way. I do not have anything set to sync more often than the default and certainly no different than I had back months ago with froyo. The only widget I have is Fancy widget thats set to check every 2 hours.

I turned off the live wallpaper but it still sits there sucking down battery. I am in an area with a bad signal but even with a good signal it still drains way to fast.

Is there any program I can use to monitor how much battery every application is using?

It is an OEM TP2 battery that came with it when I bought it when it came out. Oct 2009 abouts. I figured it would be nice for a free 11% extra capacity.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] GeekyKitty:
Hi, I'm new here. *waves*

I'm trying to unlock my HTC Touch Diamond on Bell Mobility in Canada and I've run into a couple questions.

1. How do I tell if my phone is CDMA or GSM?

I know for a FACT it doesn't have a sim card (which I believe is the defining factor between the two)... but for some reason the search results I've been getting just fail to clarify whether or not Bell Canada is GSM or CDMA. I believe they went GSM in 2010 but since my phone is pre-2010 I'm not entirely sure.

2. Is my phone even really a Diamond? :confused:

For a while I was wondering if my phone was actually a victor p3702, (I know... same $#!+ different pile, right?) but in the images I got from Google I became VERY confused as my phone has a 3.2mp camera and the flat backing, and has that subtle slight curve to the bottom of the screen and says Touch Diamond when I boot it up. All the images I can find are of phones with a 3.1mp camera.

3. Do I even need to do this?

All I want to do is get custom ROMS for the phone. I heard in my internet travels that for a CDMA phone you don't need to unlock for new ROMs... just roaming and all that jazz.

4. WTF!?

Apparently the only unlocker for CDMA diamonds in existance is on the PPCGeeks site, but it gives me a damn 502 every time I go to check it out. :mad: Are there any others out there?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] juggler37:
Let me preface this by saying that I recently purchased a Moto Droid. After previously having a CLIQ, and using it a lot for gaming, I was a bit disappointed by the D-PAD's being on the wrong side. But not for long. I knew about the game gripper attachment, but I decided that it was too bulky and expensive for what was really quite a simple problem. So I made my own compact, temporary, reusable D-PAD, to use with emulators! It should work on just about any phone with keys that line up (like the Droid's do) And you can make one too!

It consists of three simple parts, and it's very easy to build. You will need:

1. A disc of some sort. Any material. It should be just a bit smaller than the size of a 9-key square on your device's keyboard. This is the base of the D-PAD. Dimes are a pretty good size for it, and I assume they'd work decently, though I haven't tried. You COULD just use this disc alone on the keyboard, but, depending on the material, it would probably slide way too much to use.

2. A balloon. Cut a piece out of it, preferably circular, just a bit larger than the disc. This will be covering one side of the disc so it doesn't slide.

3. Some adhesive thing to hold it all together. I've found that price tag stickers work pretty well. Glue would be tougher to use for it, but might yield pretty good results. Tape will do in a pinch, but it's not preferred.

Construction is VERY simple. All you need to do is stretch the piece of balloon over one side of the disc. Pull the edges of it over to the other side of the disc, and hold them all in place with the sticker/tape/glue/whatever. You should cut off whatever hangs over the sides afterwards, so that the only thing touching the keyboard is the piece of balloon.

To use it, all you have to do is stick it on a group of 9 keys wherever you want to have a D-PAD. The keys should still be able to click, so it will feel like a real D-PAD. Then, just map buttons in the emulator to those keys!

Well, it works pretty well for me anyway. Some people might not like it, and if not, don't use it! Anyway, I hope this helps some people.

EDIT: Please reply, if you have any comments, questions, or advice!
[HTC Inspire 4G] r34p3rex:
Here's the stock Inspire 4G Kernel :D You can flash any DesireHD ROM, then flash this on top of the ROM to enable audio.

Basically, I just took the Telus kernel that's floating around here, and replaced the bcm4329.ko and boot.img with the ones from the stock ROM.

Happy flashing!
[HTC Inspire 4G] davwman:
This is flashable with any desire hd? Does it have clean sound?
[HTC Inspire 4G] r34p3rex:
You should be able to flash this kernel with any DesireHD ROM. The sound quality is almost the same as the Telus kernel from what I remember.

I think the main problem with sound quality is compatibility between the ROM and the Kernel. Something is missing in the DHD ROMs that slightly degrades sound quality when used on an Inspire 4G. Hopefully someone figures this out soon :p
[HTC Inspire 4G] davwman:
Oh ok. So what is gained from this kernel over the TELUS?
[HTC Inspire 4G] r34p3rex:
Honestly, I have no clue. Some people have said the Telus kernel is unstable for one reason or another so I figured why not just rip the kernel out of the stock ROM :D It might or might not be more stable :)
