I've found the solution, if some people search for this problem :

The APK in framework et app folder must be resigned.

If they are not correctly signed, the installation does'nt work at the 1st boot.
[General Questions and Answers] xThaNaturalx:
Hey all,

I've been looking around for a while, researching about the capacitive lights on the Captivate. I have two friends with Vibrants, and their lights are much more brighter and responsive than mine. Mine just look really dim all the time. I was hoping that I could get them brighter so I could use something like Blinky or BLN pro instead of NoLED, seeing as it eats up so much battery. The problem is that they're so dim that I can't actually tell when they're flashing. Does anyone have any ideas of any way to control these lights? I don't know if it's important, but I'm running Serendipity 5.12 with the SpeedMod k13c kernel. Any help would be great.

Thanks!

Hello!

Only recently had i descovered this useful forum full of tweaks , apps , themes , and roms for my handset , so i entrust you with finding the best answers for my questions , for this is the best website i have found on the web regarding my issues.

I own a HTC Touch Diamond for over a year now. Nothing fancy , still has his original settings and stuff since the day i pulled it out of its case. Problem is , i got tired of my Windows Mobile 6.1 and decided to upgrade my headset OS to 6.5...

This is where my problems began. I read alot of tutorials , watched a "lifetime" of "how to" videos , i collected as much info as possibile regarding the update to 6.5;

I did find on the forum tons of W6.5 ROMs and downloaded a few that i personally admire.

Now the tedious part.Upgrading...

I followed all the instructions and managed to upgrade my ROM version. For an unknown reason , i managed to downgrade it ^^. Went back from 2.03 i think , to 1.87/1.37 (can`t recall now , its 7 in the morning and i`m at college) and said to myself "this should be normal , thats what tha tutorials sais".

I carried on and started the Windows install process. My headset screen turned into the familliar red/green/blue/yellow stripes as it was booting the new OS.

Then , a progress bar emerged and sat at 0% for almost 10 minutes. The progress bar on my laptop did the same thing : not budge for a long period of time. Thinking this is how it works , dead-slow at the start and eventually progressing towards the finish... Did not happen!

Instead , my phone froze it`s ass still , and the software responsible with installing my new OS errored out with a message sort of like : There was a problem bla bla connection bla bla , troubleshoot. Yeah , how kind of you!

Removed the PSU from the phone , inserted it back , and restarted. SURPRISE , it didn`t brick the F up! But now i`m stuck with an old version of the same 6.1 ROM with no GPS and wireless capabilities... Sweet!

Can any of you generous and intelligent gentlemen have the time/kindness to help me out on my problem? I fear bricking this once working , now broken down piece of "stinking waste" phone. I really like it and don`t have the financial means of buying another handset , so i would wish to keep it intact and working for as long as possibile...

If not , then advice me never to try to install a W6.5 ROM on it , maybe cause i heard collegues telling me the headset is old (obsolete maybe) and could not handle this new OS. If this is the case , at least i have your brilliant minds telling me this , and i will do so because i trust your knowledge.

Thank you , and looking forward to hear from you!

[EVO Shift 4G General] herbthehammer:
I have a mp4 movie file that is 420.03 MB on both phones. The evo is running 2.2 sprint lovers (I don't know if it's tweaked or not) and the shift is running 2.2 stock rooted. The evo has a class 2 card and the shift has a class 6. I don't think in this test that it would be a factor. I know that I should be running stock rooted with the same class speed card as the shift on the evo. Anyways, I used root explorer to zip the movie file and timed it with ultrachron stopwatch.

The results are :

Evo 6'15"42

Shift 6'11"36

The evo is at 1ghz and shift is 800. Its not scientific and both aren't completely equal in environment but the results are interesting to me regardless. Anyone want to try this with another set of phones? I'd do it on my epic but I gave it to the gf to use.

I am guessing that this kind of test isn't favoring one chipset over another like the other benchmarking programs do.

I know 4 seconds isn't significant but it is interesting that the 800 beat the 1000.

And for those who get their panties in a bunch easily; I ran this test because I was bored and wondered what would happen. I wasn't trying to prove any point.
[EVO Shift 4G General] zeropants:
The Shift's 800MHz processor is a newer generation chip. At launch it was said to be as fast if not slightly faster than the original Evo. Most benches have shown that much to be true. But it's also an overclocking monster...and the Shift can run faster than the original without much of a problem.
[EVO Shift 4G General] iczerjones:
Just as a 1.8GHz Core i7 will absolutely destroy an old 3.6GHz Pentium 4, the Qualcomm MSM7630 in our Shift simply does more work per clock compared to the original 1GHz Snapdragon in the EVO.
[EVO Shift 4G General] herbthehammer:
Kinda along the same lines as some of the four cylinder cars are quicker than the eights.
[EVO Shift 4G General] jsp254:
yeah, but an 8 sounds better with a set of pipes!!! LOL.

i'm coming to the shift from a G1. i feel like i'm driving the Millennium Falcon. i completed angry birds in less than twelve parsecs!!!
[EVO Shift 4G General] geekdaddy:
The Shift processor performance is very similar to the evo and runs a little slower. But the Shift's GPU is considerably faster than the evo's. So media-related transactions run faster on the Shift.
[EVO Shift 4G General] iczerjones:
Only the clock frequency is slower, the actual processing is not. The original Evo packs a first generation QSD8650 paired with the Adreno 200 graphics core. The QSD was a 65nm manufacturing process chip. The Shift on the other hand is equipped with the second gen, 45nm MSM7630 and paired with the Adreno 205. Smaller manufacturing tech is generally accompanied by lower power consumption, lower TDP, heat, etc due to higher efficiency. It also leads to higher clockability in most cases. (and the shift is no exception)

A good example really is taking something like the original core2duo when it was on 65nm process and comparing it to a modern CPU. The GHz don't have much bearing because the newer processors are much more efficient and perform more work at lower cycle frequencies.

If you want to sum it up simply, just run linpack and compare it to an Evo.

Has anyone used Realook before? They have some on pre-order and will be avail 3/15. If it is good I'll probably put in a order. Thanks!

[Atrix 4G Accessories] mp2ning:
Thanks for posting the link: I have been looking for it the last coupple of weeks! I had it on my Samsung Vibrant and in my opinion it is the absolute best screen protector out there!
[Atrix 4G Accessories] djkinetic:
i'm using the ones from Skinomi and its pretty much impossible to tell its on there if u get it on right =)
[Atrix 4G Accessories] bleuiko:
Skinomi is like InvisibleShield and require a wet application? I want a normal shield protector that just a stick on. Is Realook a wet application too?
[Atrix 4G Accessories] djkinetic:
ya but in my experience they last longer then just the stick on ones
[Atrix 4G Accessories] bleuiko:
My experience was just the opposite. My InvisibleShield kept peeling but my dry install screen protector was near perfect. I had the iPhone 3GS before the Atrix so I had a Power Support screen protector.

I just placed an order for Realook. I'll report in when I get it!
[Atrix 4G Accessories] LastQuark:
From the description, it is very similar to the Martin Fields protector which is slightly thick but strong and difficult to scratch.

I purchase this one early before the Realook was being sold:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004PDHS9Y

It also has good reviews from other Android phones and it comes in 3 pcs/pkg. I'll compare it to the Martin Fields.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] darkamikaze:
i just bought skinomi ones for like 16$ :x
[Atrix 4G Accessories] eatkabab:
I think the Realook screens are some of the best out there. The surface feel of it is very good albeit not as slick as those anti-glare ones. They aren't the most anti-finger goo, but they're not any worse than any other screen. When the phone is off, and you look at the screen in just the right light and angle (usually 45deg oblique under a fluorescent bulb) you see a very obvious rainbow effect. Not very desirable, but is not visible at any other time so it's okay.

The protection is adequate (never really tested but it works for me). The fit is excellent. Its the regular stick on kind. No touch sensitivity impedance. I've been waiting for the realook one for the Atrix for a while now. Don't understand why it's so hard to just cut plastic sheets...

Best part is that they're not stupidly priced. $10 for 2. Good value.

My room mate got the otterbox case and it came with a screen protector also. I think its one of the best screens I've seen. It seems to be very very anti-finger goo. Gonna look into it.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] bleuiko:
So I got my Realook cover today so here is a short review:

The packaging came quite professionally and included the standard stuff you would expect from a premium screen protector: microfiber cloth, alcohol wipe for cleaning, and some applicator to aid in putting it on. Each protector was individually wrapped. So good so far.

Now the bad. Both protectors I received were slightly warped; this means that the protector is not very thick. When applied, the warp goes away and does not affect the adhesiveness. What really annoyed me was that they decided to cut out a hole for the front camera; that in itself is not bad, but they decided to cut a U-shape out to the edge of the phone instead of just a circle. This, to me, is laziness or cost-cutting. This cut leaves a part of my screen unprotected. The second issue is that the part around the speaker hole are slightly bent and bubbled, making the protector not stick perfectly on the screen.

See my attached photo for these two issues.

Overall, I would give this protector a 7/10. The protector also shows a rainbow hue when seen from an angle. This doesn't bother me too much, especially when the screen is on, but I expected more. All in all, for $11 bucks for 2, it's not a bad bang for the buck but I'll probably try a SGP. Does anyone have a reveiw for the SGP? Does it cover the camera hole?
[Atrix 4G Accessories] darkamikaze:
the Skinomi has the same outline for the camera.. I think it's standard for our phone..
[Atrix 4G Accessories] link12245:
Trust me when I say cutting the U instead of the circle is better. With the circle, if they just punch it out, it warps the material between the speaker and the camera, and leaves a bubble. iPhone 4 screen protectors are bad for this. The AT&T official screen protectors do this too, and it works fine.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] bblanski:
I will be putting mine and the gf's on tonight..

I found a link on xda about the droid x multi touch keyboard for 2.2! I love this keyboard.... here is the url http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=754948 its a good keyboard replacement try it out. Im not sure if this has been posted but its just a great keyboard I used it to type this it feels like the legit stock android for whoever missed that (I know I did ) . You have to flash it through cwm but it works perfectly! Try it out!!!!!!!
[Vibrant General] regP:
I used that keyboard exclusively until the gingerbread one came out. Its great.. Nice to see it in different flavors.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
Thanks bro! these are amazing!

so to make sure.. these worked 100% no bugs for you correct?

EDIT: yep works perfectly, and there are some APKS if people don't want to flash :D

Do Any of you get small Font on the Keyboard? I want to know if there is any way to fix this. I searched the thread but it seems no one had any clue how to fix it.
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
this works on any rom?
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
it should. I just flashed it on atriarc, and it works perfectly... so just try it. :D
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
this is simply a themed 2.1 android keyboard? or even better?
[Vibrant General] krazie1:
Hey xriderx66. Is the font Normal size? And if you dont mind me asking are you using any theme on Atriarc?
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
Well, it does look like it doesn't it?

It's multi-touch which i love.

The dictionary is already filled with modern-used words or abbreviations.

It just feels softer when typing and its fast.

I use either this or swype starting today.

Edit:

@krazie1

Yes the font size is normal. and nope, no themes on my Atriarc.

I might upload a pic if you'd like to see from my phone.. hold up.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
There ya go
[Vibrant General] krazie1:
Damn Man, I flashed the Redsp one but the font came out small. Im on Bionix 1.3 with AOSP Theme and Overstock 1.4. Im thinking the the is whats getting in the way but im not for sure. But thanks for showing me the keyboard. Appreciate it.
[Vibrant General] duboi97:

there's an app called "keyboard manager" that is supposed to to that. i tried it, a LONG time ago, and it was still kinda buggy. it looks like you have to pay for it now tho
[Vibrant General] krazie1:
I tried the REDsp keyboard and the bRED keyboard. With both of them i get small font.
[Vibrant General] duboi97:
I'm not sure if this fixes it but I found this on the original thread of darkys rom (third post) I myself have not had a problem with the keyboard...!

Here's a guide by rajeeva for fixing the Droid X Keyboard correctly.

This is a right proper guide, I used adb shell with su permission.

1. Goto /sdcard/Multi-Touch Keyboard/x2keyboardblack.apk and rename to DroidX_KeyboardGreen.apk and copy it to root of sdcard

cd sdcard/Multi-Touch\ Keyboard

mv x2keyboardblack.apk /sdcard/DroidX_KeyboardGreen.apk

2. Then goto /system/app/ and copy DroidX_KeyboardGreen.apk to sdcard as a backup just in case.

cd /system/app/

cp -i DroidX_KeyboardGreen.apk /sdcard/DroidX_KeyboardGreenBk.apk

3. Then copy your DroidX_KeyboardGreen.apk in root of sdcard to system/app

cd sdcard and give permission

cp -i DroidX_KeyboardGreen.apk /system/app/

chmod 644 DroidX_KeyboardGreen.apk

4. Reboot your phone and goto settings -> Locale and Text

Press Choose Input Method and check "Droid2Keyboard German Black"

Done.

All,

I'm currently a symbian user and about to make my move to android.

I'm confused between the HTC Desire(incl HD) and Galaxy SL (Galaxy S is no longer available).

If anyone is using the galaxy SL kindly let me know your feedback on the same.

I would like to know the battery performance (i know its usage dependent but still a vague idea will do)

GPU performance (can easily play the 3d games on it ?)

GPS issue (has it been fixed in this version)

Lagging that was prevalent in the S version, is it still there or has been taken care of.

Any other info that you can proivide would be highly appreciated.

Thanks.

P.S : Can't wait to move to android.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] shadez08:
Fellow countryman, I own Galaxy S SL. It's for Rs. 20k. If you want to use Android for long time and budget is not a constraint then go for Desire HD or wait for Incredible S to be available in India. Specification was Galaxy S SL use different CPU and GPU than the I9000. So difference in performance is bound to be there. HTC Desire S is also a good phone and I hope it is priced at the most Rs. 25k. Would be a step down version of Desire HD but certainly better than the original Desire. Choice and money are yours.

Best luck
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ybyb:
Thanks for the reply.

So would you suggest shelling out an extra 6-7K for the desire/HD ?

I would obviously like to get the best for the minimal.

Can you tell me about the battery, gps and any issues that you've faced with you SL ?

I'm not a hardcore gamer but would like to play a few games like the NFS kinds and all that. Can you play those with ease on your SL ?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] shadez08:
I played Asphalt 5 HD free on it and it worked like a charm. No issues with that so far. Gaming would be smoother as SGX530 is not AGES old but good enough :)

Battery life is good but it drains out fast when used entirely on Wi-Fi. GPS issues still persist as I can't get GPS locked properly. =(

Other than that, there are lags but I suppose after those lagfix kernels are used, the lags would go away.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ybyb:
Thanks,

It's shocking that they still haven't fixed the GPS issue. Have you tried taking this up with the customer centre ?

I have the pricing constraint hence I guess i will go with the SL.

Hope it works out for me.
