With Dexter's Froyo installed and Gingerbread theme upgrade

So:

Lockscreen:

See Music Player

HomeLauncher:

LauncherPro (Plus), Launcher7(I simply enjoy it for being slick, and its status bar, but with a black status bar from gingerbread I've no need for it anymore.)

Slidescreen, this is a beautiful launcher that can also be ran as an app overlaying your current launcher.

If you simply want information, details stats, this is the one for you

Slide screen is slick and its advertisement for the free version, is an add to get the paid version.

sidenote--Home Switcher for Froyo

Keyboard:

Better Keyboard 8

Music Player:

Cloud Skipper

Serves as both a very accessible player and has its own lock screen with full access to the player itself upon hitting the unlock key.

Browser:

Opera Mini

xScope

Games:

Fruit Slice (not my slice of pie but some may like it, ran well)

Glow Hockey (Great game, if it supports vs over wifi, then wow)

Hex Defense (Plays like defense Grid)

Ninja Dash

Ninjump

Pew Pew (was interesting, but a little awkward for me)

Return Zero (interesting racer, and not too taxing on the system either)

Speedx 3D

YooNinja

Customization:

Metamorph is what i use for themes at the moment. May change to something else later on.

File Explorer:

OI File manager

I love saving space, and OI looks simple and efficient and runs extremely smooth.

Media Player:

Mobo Player

Management:

1-Click Clear

Appkik

As for games and excess apps, the ones that can't be ran from SD i backup with Appkik for later use to free up memory and space on the phone.

I used the following two videos for switching the boot animation

Search youtube for:

ANDROID Boot Animation (How-To Change It)

CyanogenMod Boot Animation

Got it running to replace that really bad boot animation from Dexter's Froyo

Great rom but the Boot animation was driving me bonkers.

Hope this helps out.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] Woody:
An easy way to change your boot animations is set up a folder on your SD card named Boot Animations and put the zip in there. Then go into /system/media and copy the original and put it on your SD card in case something ever happens and you can replace it with the original. Take your new boot animation and just replace the one that is in /system/media and reboot.

Obviously make a back up before you do this b/c not all work well.

Also watch your size. While they do look cool, some take up a ton of space.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] Knoedelkopf:
wondering why no one mentioned some of these:

- "LBE privacy guard" --> control & take away the rights of your apps, e.g. don't allow facebook to access your contacts or send SMS , in my opinion one of the best apps so far. only for rooted devices! :cool:

- "history eraser"

- for users in Germany: "Öffi" -> great app for public transport, in germany we call it "öffentliche Nahverkehrsmittel" :D

- SMS Backup & Restore

- Titanium Backup

- WhatsApp -> like SMS , but works via internet connection and sends messages via internet -> no costs for sms

Multicon

Is a good one. Allows you to quadruple the number of icon's to your homepage.

**EDIT**

nevermind, i thought it was cool, after i got about 3 rows of 4-app combo's my phone starting going haywire.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] Shirokishi:
Desktop Visualizer

with HSimage cut or a good Icon pack and you get some awesome results or really nice custom shortcuts instead of the stock ones

Widgetsoid 2.X is awesome too.

Nothing sweeter than a power control power thats transparent AND you control the different options in each slot.

hi guys, just came across the htc keyboard and installed it. its the best "normal" keyboard ive tried. "not-normal" being those like swype which have special ways of text input. heres the link to the thread :

repligo reader is a very good pdf reader. adobe sucks, it doesnt even open the pdf from where you left off. repligo does, and its text reflow is much faster and better looking than adobe reader's. it also has a night mode (white on black)
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] B_e_n:
I think most of my apps are already mentionned

But i don t see to of my favorites apps so:

File Expert: For me its a lot better than any other file explorer (i try it all i think)

it do all the things of the others: it s Free ; it have a root explorer and you can install app (even silently without the popup you have to accept)

But it also let you share any folder by just 2 click on ftp / http or bluetooth

very usefull to upload files anywhere

Tune Wiki: for me the best music player on the market. also totally free and it bring you the lyrics of all the songs you have!

And you can easyly find others song or video clip from the artist

try it you will never change!!!
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] Shirokishi:
For me Titanium didn't do what i needed it to do.

And what's app is only free for a year

So i went with Liveprofile since that's also cross platform but without the 1year trial

SD Speed Increase

Anybody ever heard of or tried SD Speed Increase by

Diego Stamigni? Sounds promising here is a link https://market.android.com/details?id=com.sdincrease.it

I might try it and report back if anyone is interested.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] AA1973:
I am using SD Speed Increase with the 2048 recommendation, but I can't tell you, to be honest, whether it has increased the speed or not.

Milestone XT720 - Mioze7Ae's CM 6.1.2
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] Woody:
I use it with 2048 too and it does work. Makes your cache on your SD card a bit bigger thus making accessing it snappier. It is low memory too, so just set it and forget it. Applies on boot also.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] LibertyMonger:
Thanks I just tried it and it seems at least twice quicker! I love it when an app works as is supposed to! which is rarely lol.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] Mioze7Ae:
I think the app's page is misleading. This does help with read speed (reverendkjr did a bunch of experimentation with it), but does zilch for write speed. Khal's ROMs, ESB and XDAspecial and such already set it.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] LibertyMonger:
Yeah Just like any other app, seems none do anything like they are supposed to. And it's hard to figure out for sure. I just copied a ROM over and it seemed much quicker. But can't take my word for it I will take your's! lol.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] Shirokishi:
i dont care about write speed so long as i can read faster that means i can access the apps on the sd card faster and load the app drawer with less delay.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] eSu.Matix:
SwiftKey X. This keyboard is total kickass!
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] AA1973:
Agree. The SwiftKey X is really nice and free at the moment on getjar.

On Getjar you can get as well Beautiful Widgets for free.

In total there are 50 paid apps for free as "golden" apps as well games.

Milestone XT720 - CM6.3.0 RC3
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] AA1973:
I found another keyboard, maybe worth a try: MultiLing Keyboard, available for free and with many features like multiple languages(who wonders :) ), themes and e.g. automatic text after input.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen (mfg)

Be right back. (Bb)

As I am typing much on the phone, it was one of the features I didn't find before.

There are many themes built in and you can change the size of the keys and the key size font what I do find a very nice feature.

[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] AA1973:
2 days ago I found a nice tutorial on a MIUI Forum about how to get the phone into deep sleep. Therefore you'll need two apps:

CPU TUNER for rooted phones by ovogt and CPU Spy.

The first one is for setting up frequencies and other settings like 2G or 3G, data or no data etc.

The second one shows you the time in state in the different frequencies and deep sleep. Since I installed them, when the screen goes off the phone does get into deep sleep.

Both apps are free on the market.

MIUI-1.10.21 - Milestone XT720
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] Mioze7Ae:
I've been tearing my hair out about deep sleep (CM6 basically refuses to ever deep sleep {maybe 9% if I'm really lucky, but mostly never} at least for me). Were there any specific settings that you think helped?
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] LibertyMonger:
Hey Mz I know you probably don't have any time for this but did you try any of it like the REVOlution_Transparent_Apps? I did and it didn't work, don't know if maybe there is a way to make it work?
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] AA1973:
I think the "screen off" setting. I put it to: 2G, no mobile data, no wifi, no sync. I will "investigate" during the night and see tomorrow morning whether it's the point or it is just another GUIthing :)

MIUI-1.10.21 - Milestone XT720
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] AA1973:
Okay. I found one error. I switched manually in the MIUI settings to 3G preferred that's why the phone wasn't in deep sleep last night, but I am trying to find a solution in the CPU tuner settings.

Hence I found a link to an article on a Linux blog in the help section of the app. Maybe of common interest ...

[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] AA1973:
CPUTuner is killing me :) sometimes the phone does get into deep sleep, sometimes it's just staying on 720 or 250 all the time ...

Still not satisfied ...

Nevertheless on getjar this week for free new Tapatalk Paid Version and Android Agenda Widget Pro...

[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] AA1973:
Two more free apps on getjar this week.

BeWeather Pro (you'll need to download an add-on of 25MB, Wi-Fi is recommended)

The second one which I find useful is "criticall". If you turn your phone on silent, but don't want to miss an important call of a person or group (e.g. family), then this app might help...

VEGAn TAB 5.1.1 Beta is most stable ROM (IMHO) for daily driver use.

The link posted in the quote is a good method for flashing.

I flashed it and it didn't work but I did flash tnt and it works accept for the market. How do I get it running
[G Tablet General] lalomean2:
You flashed tnt or tnt lite?
[G Tablet General] tcrews:
You have to first flash VEGAn 5.1 as that is the ROM.

You then flash 5.1.1 as that is a supplement and "adds" to the 5.1 ROM the new updates.
[G Tablet General] onveiledwings:
Tnt lite
[Captivate Themes and Apps] sandrich:
I know some people were requesting for the I9000 Honeycomb theme(s) to be ported over to Captivate. For those of you who were doing so, try flashing this theme with CWM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=958788. I am currently running FireFly 2.2, and haven't had any issues. The developer however did recommend deleting bootanimation.zip as it would sometimes cause a loop. I did so, then replaced it with a custom bootanimation. The screenshots in the original thread show LauncherPro being used. I however prefer ADW launcher, and it works flawlessly with the theme/ROM. Obviously its not exactly like the real Honeycomb, but it looks and feels awesome. Flash at your own risk. Take a look below.

EDIT: screenshots didnt work. see attached below...

[Captivate Themes and Apps] sandrich:
I honestly could not tell you...I dont know much about the differences. I just flashed to stock, flashed FF, then flashed the theme on top. Had my fingers crossed the whole time....

Hopefully someone else here can indulge.

Good to hear its working. I will give this a shot. I was trying to cobble one together but its lacking polish since Im just replacing images and swapping XML files...lol.

I like those oversized app icons, source? These are for ADW?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] sandrich:
The icons are available here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=828832

Just load to SD card, and set each icon as a 1x1 widget using Desktop Visualizer. Yes, I am using ADW but you can do this with practically any launcher. I have it set for 5 rows on my homescreen

The Calendar is Jorte Calendar, available on the Market. Just do a search for "Jorte" The widget I am using is the Black set with 50% transparency

[Captivate Themes and Apps] eep2378:
Also what app drawer icon is that (little android guy)?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] sandrich:
I have the ADW settings to be a 1 icon dock with no dock background (find this under dock/advanced in settings. Just a personal preference). The drawer icon is an icon in the ADW "Eyefold" theme available on the market. Hope this helps.

I flashed it n only have two problems, force close on contacta and drm protection service, ne ideas on how to fix?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] sandrich:
I dont get any force closes. What are using for DRM protection. Are you trying to play protected music? Or is it an app that removes DRM protection on protected music (like a Zune subscription)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] kuherrm:

Flashed on FF 2.3 - Home Haptic Disabled

I flashed to FF 2.3 and installed Honeycomb theme, but then found that the haptic feedback on my Home button wasn't working anymore. I flashed to stock with Odin to try again and got the same result. I really like the blue Honeycomb look over the Gingerbread green, but the home haptic is a bummer.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RatRedux:
I have an ATT Tilt that's unlocked and on Tmobile USA's network. I did a hardSPL to get rid of the ATT page a long time ago but did an update when I started having the screen freeze problems.

Additionally I have throttlelauncher with Touchflo3D installed.

Anyways, I had updated my S2U2 to 2.43 and all was well but I noticed that I would sometimes not get a text alert/vibrate or yellow LED flash when I got a text. The message showed in the TF3D UI and on the task bar but no LED/Alert. I uninstalled S2U2 thinking it was the cause but it still occured. The problem would continue until I either got a phone call, which did ring, went into the notifications and test rang the phone alert (because the text tone wouldn't play until the phone rang).

Later I noticed that whenever I was using Opera Mini, I would start doing this. I tried Opera Mobile and experienced the same problem. Whenever I was using either browser, the problem would occur.

I have had Opera Mini for a long time without this occuring, however, I did reload Opera Mini after a hard reset last week when I was trying to fix the screen freeze.

Any ideas? I much prefer Opera to IE explorer since I don't get 3G on Tmobile USA and IE takes forever and a day to load anything. Or should I just do a hard reset again and hope for the best?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Mr. Clown:
Do a hard reset, maybe you have a conflict with your apps. I do have a opera mini running in my kaiser and behaves normally.

I have very annoying issue with my HTC HD2. During call my screen goes black and when I move it away from my face it doesn't turn on.

But when I put the device in horizontal position with screen facing down it lights. On the other hand when I put it facing up it turns off again.

I guess It's problem not with proximity sensor but with g-sensor. I had this problem before when I installed prj clean desire rom. Later I went back to stock WM rom using task29 before and problem was solved. I installed android again and even task29 doesn't help. Both android and stock wm have the same problem.

I downloaded program called proximity recalibrator. And again when I'm shaking the device it changes near/far position and real distance from objects doesn't matter.

I made short movie to show you the problem:

Phones ARE computers these days. Fast computers rock. Why do you make the comparison to a laptop and state that a "phone" is anything less. Phone is just a word to describe the original function of these micro-devices. They are 1% phone and 99% other-than-phone. Broaden your horizon(s).

Not surprising when you see the real world performance of 2.1 vs 2.2 on the Epic. 2.1 was smoother, faster and all around more stable. Don't believe me?
