[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jaidedfocus:
Personally, I'm waiting to see if the new BlackBerry with the touchscreen gets released on T-MoUS and is worth buying before upgrading. Otherwise I'm waiting on dual core devices like everyone else. Right now my HD2 does everything it needs to do. Would love the front facing camera but I know if I got whats out right now I'd be pissed in about 6 months when they start releasing phones with some awesome specs.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] uxu:
first time that i hear the name......dual-core cpu sounds interesting.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DeoreDX:
I left my HD2 for a G2. But honestly I like the HD2 better from a hardware perspective. The G2 just seems to run a little better than the HD2 especially games so that's the reason I eventually left my HD2. But unless you get the option to upgrade a line only 6 months into a contract for free for a G2 I would hold on to your upgrade for something better. I have both the Vibrant and the G2 and neither are significant upgrades of the HD2. In fact I think the HD2 runs much better day to day than my wife's Vibrant. Wait for the dual cores or something comparable to the HD2 in native Android form.

I'm getting the Atrix 4g, just ordered it. Now that I see the bootloader has the possiblity of being cracked, I now want it. However, if the samsung galaxy II had come out already, i would get it instead as I fancy myself with taking pictures.

Well I won't be tossing my hd2 though. Atleast, i don't want to.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Lozone:
A Tmo rep told me that the LG Optimus 3D will be on Tmo soon.

I am saving my upgrade too for something dual core.

But I will always keep my trusting and flash fun HD2.

I've been keeping a spreadsheet of the specs of the latest android phones and the activity on their respective XDA Android Development Sections. The XDA data is probably a week old. Performance ratings are from benchmarks on Anandtech.

Hey everyone! I would like to start a thread for anyone who needs help with any level in Electric Box 2.5 for android.

I've been stuck on Level 48 for awhile now. Any help would be appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] Genghisjohn82:
The idea behind level 48 is to get your pull bot to do double duty. First to pull the power station off the east/west line (activating the charger fan) then to pull the top brick. Use the music station and sound bot to move the pull bot down to the top of the right line. The hamsters will power both the vertical lines. Wind chimes above the left line and music station on the left line to get the hamster on the right line running.

Best ROM for X8 is here:

Download the 2.2.1 version from here. If download link doesn't work, look at 95 for a mirror.
[XPERIA X8 General] a-k-t-w:
The best ROM (IMO) is v0.11 HACKDROID by Ratch.

I'm willing to bet the MiniCM ROM for the X8 is good as well, but I haven't tested it yet.

Edit: I take that back. Apparently the MiniCM ROM suffers from random reboots.

Edit2: The MiniCM is very good. The battery lasts much longer than Racht's ROM.

[XPERIA X8 General] rstdnm:
ROMs

The most stable ROM would be Sony official 2.1 Eclair release. But no one wants that.

Thankfully, the best developers are making great progress here at XDA.

Here are some of the ROMs here.

The closest to stable are the ones by racht found here: [ROM] X8 | Sense | 2.1 | 2.2 | 2.3 | xRecovery [WiP]

[as of March 22, 2010]

these are my comments:

2.3.3 CM X8 J005 HACKDROID - so far the latest. Based off J005. Battery life is MUCH better than racht's Legend version. Runs fast and flawlessly.

Don't work:

FM, Tether, record video.

I'm using this right now and I highly recommend it. Unless you want it to be fully capable then you might have to wait for another month. No one has solved the video thing in any ROM.

Reported bugs:

GPS

Bluetooth doesn't work? (haven't checked this)

2.3.3 CM HACKDROID Legend - racht's work. Battery consumption is slightly above ave. Camera doesn't work.

Reported bugs:

Reboot when SU apps are killed

Skype sign-out causes restart

2.2.1 CM Floyo v0.15 - most stable in racht's work. Only Video recording and ANT+ don't work. Battery life is superb. Has Sense framework. Much faster than Sony's 2.1.

Reported bugs:

Reboot when SU apps are killed

- - -

I haven't tried the others.

- - -

So I say you have 2 options, stay on Sony's stable until the devs are done or use racht's modded J005.
[XPERIA X8 General] JasoX:
I have tested most of the roms but at the moment i think Jerpeleas CM RC2 v006 is the best.

Please, can anyone tell me what languages present in these ROMs? Or it depends on the country I'm living? Sorry, I'm a newbie, and there are lot of things that I don't really understand about custom ROMS.

BTW the perfect rom for me will be the rom that contains hungarian language, but not contains Fake MT, CPU OC, etc, etc, because if I need them, I will "install" them on my phone later.

So which software is the best for me? :D

[XPERIA X8 General] impster:
I'm using GingerDX v010.

Overclocked to 710, and seems stable.

I have a feeling that the last froyobread isn't that far off gingerdx v010, however, Doixanh seems to be still developing gingerdx, so I guess once that reaches it's ulitmate evolution it will be good.

Quadrant score on my set up is around 950 (was 450ish on stock)

Antutu is around 1400.

43.3fps on Neocore.

Phone is pretty much stock v010, with no apps uninstalled.

I use 3g Watchdog and Juice Defender Pro also, which may have affected benchmark.

Maybe if i delete stuff like dsp, stock email etc it will be faster still.
[XPERIA X8 General] nyan:
the perfect rom?

what is the best rom around?
[XPERIA X8 General] MatthewWu:
I think GingerCruzt and GingerDX

1. That ROM made the ROM looks like SE GB Stock / HTC Sense (soon)

2. Fast and smooth

3. Max internal memory (i get big int memory at GingerCruzt, at GingerDX, 1/2 free)

4. Quadrant almost 1100!! (ever get 1111??)
[XPERIA X8 General] codfreak:
There is no "perfect" ROM.

But all 2.1 and 2.2 ROMs are smooth and stable and have a fully working camera, and most of the Gingerbread ROMs are stable and have a working camera too, but they can have some lags and the battery drain issue.

Just test a few ROMs and decide what´s the best ROM for you.
[XPERIA X8 General] MatthewWu:
yes! right answer hehehe!!
[XPERIA X8 General] igibi011:
well i have instaled MiniCM7-2.0.7 mod,android version 2.3.5 and i have found only one problem and thats when i overclock over 710mhz,after that it starts with crashes here and there.other than that its stable.I still need to see what will my battery have to say about new rom :D

[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Gr8gorilla:
Can someone pull the swype.apk and all the libs from /system/lib for me?

It is not against XDA policy because Swype said it was fine as long as the device already had swype, and we can include it in custom roms as long as the device the rom is intended for, already has swype.

Anyway, I am using Modaco but to get media hub working I had to go to stock build prop and that breaks the swype that comes with Modaco, so I need the stock swype and the stock libs.

I will be starting on a Gorilla Rom for the Tab, soon. Is there anything you guys would like to see in it? Something that is not currently available?
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Blame73:
HC theme would be nice to have from scratch.

Sorry about the Swype thing, but I got rid of it too.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Gr8gorilla:
I can't believe we have 1 million users here on XDA and this thread has had a couple hundred views and no one has pulled the apk for me?
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] rangercaptain:
I needed it before, so I downloaded the stock rom, unzipped the file, then un-tarred it, and pulled the apk and lib file.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] foxmeister:
Probably because it *is* against the rules!

Important part is here:

There's nothing to stop you however pulling the stock ROM and removing it yourself.

HI Guys,

After having moved from my HTC legend to an HTC trophy 7 and getting used to all the interesting little fiddly bits of WP7 I was finally happy (Im mainly talking about the windows live mail contact sync issue).

All contacts finally fixed after a some time sorting them all and adding the phone numbers etc.

Anyway long story short the does not seem to be a way to make the WIFI stay on when the phone sleeps meaning that my preciously short 3g data will be used (Vodafone skimping and giving us only 500mb).

Has any one come up with a way to force the WIFI to stay on ala android sleep policy?

Cheers guys!
[Windows Phone 7 General] microhaxo:
Your 3g would only be used if you are constantly downloading emails. Everything is push on WP7 so there wont be apps pulling data other than email. I wouldn't worry about it. WP7 is not android.
[Windows Phone 7 General] TeamKillerJKFFL:
If I disable 3G while sleeping on WiFi is there ever a chance WiFi won't wake up for the push/pull of email or am I worrying about nothing?
[Windows Phone 7 General] cbebop7:
Keep it connected to a charger or your PC and the wifi will stay ON.
[Windows Phone 7 General] roccotune:
Thanks for the replies guys,

Hopefully data usage will be better than android but I would sill like to be able to turn wifi on all the time is I needed to. In the mean time all email set to as arrives so should cut down on usage a bit.

Lets see what this next update brings

cheers
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jim Coleman:
As the other chap said, plug your phone into power and wifi will not turn off. I nall honesty, wanting the wifi to remain on while the phone is on battery power is a bit daft because it wouldn't last longer than a couple of hours.
[Windows Phone 7 General] roccotune:
Thanks again guys,

Granted leaving the wifi on all the time may drain the batt faster but my HTC legend managed like this with no issues as Android turns off 3g when WIFI is on saving some power. I think we should at least be able to change the WIFI sleep profile like android - 5m, 15m, never etc
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jim Coleman:
I assume you mean that Android turns off 3g when Wifi is *CONNECTED*. I leave my Wifi switched on all the time and what happens is when the phone switches off, it disconnects, but the wifi setting remains *ON*.

Leaving it on is good because when I get home it connects to my Wifi network automatically but while out and about the phone doesn't keep trying to connect, which would drain the battery a lot.

So yeah, make the distinction between Wifi being "ON" and "CONNECTED".
[Xoom General] Jrockttu:
So, I know the release date is tomorrow, but what are the odds a retailer would sell them early? Does anybody on here work for a retailer and can confirm whether this is a soft release date or a hard release date?

I'd like to know if a store is selling them today so I can try to get one on my way home from work tonight.
[Xoom General] setite:
Since it must be activated, they would get caught selling early. I think I might buy my accessories on Amazon. I'm rather pissed that BB isn't getting in screen protectors for a screen so big.
[Xoom General] Jrockttu:
That's why I'm curious whether it's a soft or hard release date. A hard release date means that they retailer has a contractual agreement to not sell early and may be fined by the manufacturer. With a soft release date it's more about marketing and some of the stores really don't care if they sell early.
[Xoom General] socomdark:
i ordered mine online and im still waiting for shipping confirmation. i may go to wirefly here in a bit and talk to customer service. they been pretty helpful so far. Last time when my droid x was suppose to ship, I went to customer service and they moved me up the list and sent it out right away because it was the day they got it.
[Xoom General] StirCwazy:
While doing my pre-order I asked when I could come by and pick mine up, the sales associate wasn't sure and asked another. His response was "They'll definitely by here on the 24th, but maybe the 23rd, so you'll just need to call and ask." So I called just a bit ago, the lady was reading from something you could tell and said something to the effect of "Launch date for the XOOM is the 24th.." *mumble mumble* "do not release to customer until launch date". So if someone gets one today, they can count themselves lucky.
[Xoom General] Jrockttu:
Good to know, thanks. Was this at Best Buy?

The people I talked to at Costco last night would probably sell them early if their inventory showed them, considering both stores thought I was talking about the Zune, then asked what the Xoom was. Of course, if you got past the Costco sales people, I'd assume the Verizon booth people would probably shoot you down when it came to activation.

I guess I'll jut have to wait 23 hours and take an early lunch tomorrow.
[Xoom General] khov07:
I spoke with the nearest VZ corporate-owned store, and as soon as I informed the rep that I managed a corporate account, she was very forthcoming with information.

The 24th is a 'hard' date, and she confirmed that they would have them in-store available for purchase. She was even kind enough to provide me with her direct number so that I can call ahead and she would have one ready for me.

Not bad, eh? I was going to order it online, but VZ isn't taking pre-orders (only BB it seems), so it won't be 'visible' online to order until tomorrow. Even though VZ has free overnight shipping, I'd rather just walk into a store and pick it up.

I'll compare online pricing with the store price, so I should get a decent deal on the Xoom.
[Xoom General] socomdark:
damn looks like Wirefly's twitter misinformed me about processing on the 23rd so it looks like I will be getting a day after everyone picks it up from the store :(. Oh well at least Im getting it
[Xoom General] Low023:
Twas the day before Xoom and all through the retail chain not even a sale, the employees were told not even for a hundred thouse.
[Xoom General] ashura3:
So Wirefly's twitter says Xoom is shipping today but Wirefly's chat sales rep says nothing is set to ship out today. I hate it when right hand has no ****ing clue what the left hand is doing. No idea who's info is correct.
[Xoom General] socomdark:
i know the feeling. Still glad just to be getting it though
